Abstract: A cutlery utensil dispenser for dispensing cutlery utensils one at a time upon hand operation of an externally accessible utensil delivery controller. The dispenser includes a housing having at least one interior compartment in communication with an exit opening. At least partially accommodateable within the interior compartment is a stack of utensils within a cartridge capable of universally accommodating knives or forks or spoons and provided with a portal through which a single utensil can pass and wherein a dispensable utensil is situated. The portal is situated in a pathway aligned with the exit opening. Finally, the utensil delivery controller is an externally accessible hand operable ejector engageable with the dispensable utensil and situated for ejecting the dispensable utensil from the portal of the cartridge and thereafter through the pathway to the exit opening for ultimate user retrieval.

Abstract: Adjustable measuring devices are disclosed. The device comprises an elongate body having first and second ends. Both first and second ends have measuring cavities formed thereon. Preferably the body member further has a central rail member disposed between the measuring cavities formed at each end of the member. Slidably attached to the body member is an elongate central cover member. The central cover member has damming members extending downwardly at each end such that each damming member is snugly received within a measuring cavity. Accordingly, by sliding the central cover member across the body member, the volume in each respective measuring cavity can be increased or decreased to form a desired setting. Preferably, the adjustable measuring device has measuring indicia formed thereon as well as an adjustable interlocking arrangement between the central cover member and the body member such that fixed volumes may be readily and accurately measured.

Abstract: A bag clip comprising first and second elongate jaw portions defining front and back ends and inner and outer surfaces. Extending between and interconnecting the first and second jaw portions intermediate the front and back ends thereof is a first spring portion which is operable to bias the front ends toward each other. The clip further comprises an elongate second spring portion which is attached to the front end of the second jaw portion and extends inwardly toward the first spring portion in cantilevered relation to the inner surface of the second jaw portion. The second spring portion is operable to bias the front end of the second jaw portion toward the front end of the first jaw portion.
