  • Publication number: 20250127277
    Abstract: A cosmetic container that enables a user to easily mix a first product and a second product, that are stored separately within the cosmetic container, with a simple twist of the dialer before the first use. The first product is in a first product container, while the second is in a second product container. The cosmetic container includes the first product container, the second product container, a pump dispenser, an outer cap, a seal cap, a piston, an elevator, and the dialer. The dialer encloses the second product container and, when rotated, moves the elevator, which in turn pushes the piston inside the second product container. The piston, with a central rod, creates an aperture in the seal cap for the second product to flow into the first product container. This process ensures easy mixing before dispensing by removing the outer cap and using the pump dispenser.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of footrests for outdoor applications. The present invention is a footrest device for sitting on the ground. The footrest is comprised of an angled platform for resting feet in an inclined position. The footrest is comprised of edges with steps that prevent sliding. Further, the footrest are individual pieces so the left and right foot can be in the optimal position. The footrest incorporates tabs protruding out the front to prevent sliding. These tabs function as a device to remove debris that can make noise in a hunting application. These tabs can be used to mimic the sound of a turkey scratching leaves. The tabs can be used at a beach for digging sand. The shape of the footrest creates a pocket that functions as a scoop for moving sand or water. The two individual pieces nest together for storage or transport.

    Abstract: A foldable container includes a foldable supporting frame, at least one operation switch arranged on the foldable supporting frame, and a container body supported on the foldable supporting frame. The operation switch is actuated through a pulling operation to move the foldable supporting frame between an unfolded mode and a folded mode. The container has an edge and an opening formed within the edge. At the unfolded mode, the opening is opened. At the folded mode, the opening is closed. The container body is automatically folded as the foldable supporting frame is moved from the unfolded mode to the folded mode. Via a folding method, the foldable supporting frame is folded to reduce an overall size for occupying less storage space when it is not in use.
