Abstract: A container includes a lid having a peripheral flange which defines a lifting tab. The container includes a base having an upper peripheral rim. A bend line is formed in a surface of the base to define a bendable portion of the base. The bendable portion of the base receives and limits access to the lifting tab when the container is closed. A container includes a lid having a peripheral flange which defines a lifting tab. The lifting tab has a top surface and a bottom surface. The lid includes a protrusion extending downwardly from the bottom surface of the lifting tab. The container includes a base. The base has an aperture formed in a portion of the base to receive the protrusion of the lid when the container is closed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a soundproofing bag (1) for single and double reed instruments, particularly for a saxophone made up of a material providing a fabric outer layer, an intermediate soundproofing layer, and an inner layer made up of air and steam permeable material, shaped in such a way to substantially conform to the shape of the instrument, and provided with a rear opening (9) allowing the hooking of the instrument, of a rear slot (13) for the hooking of the collar (5) to the saxophone, and with two entrances (10, 11), respectively for the introduction of the right and left hands to be able to normally play the saxophone.
Abstract: A saucer has a raised central portion having a plurality of planar surfaces disposed in a common plane with one another and are separated into sectors by a plurality of inlaid channels directed from the center of the raised central portion downwardly and outwardly from the common plane to an annularly extending trough surrounding the raised central portion. Disposed about the outer periphery of the raised central portion is an annular rim interrupted along its periphery by the inlaid channels, which rim providing an upwardly extending side wall cooperating with an associated one of the plurality of planar surfaces to provide both lateral and underlying support for a cup base sized and shaped to be received within the annular confines created by the interrupted rim.
Abstract: An apparatus for providing dripless consumption of a consumable liquid includes a preferably concave saucer and a container having a liquid-receiving body with a flange provided at its bottom. The flange has a series of indentations formed therein that act to retain liquid during the drinking sequence, and prevent liquid found on the exterior of the container from dripping onto the user.
Abstract: A cup caddy for vertically stacking and transporting cup holders and cup refills therefor in a predetermined side by side arrangement is shown. In accordance with the invention, the cup holders are uniformly alignable upon a vertical post having diametrically opposite longitudinal keyways which coact with at least one key internally disposed within a through-opening in each of the cup holders. The cup caddy includes a receptacle having a longitudinal vertical slot for containing the refills therein and providing an access thereto for the cup holders. The receptacle and post are mounted on a base in a side by side relationship and are adapted to receive a cover thereover.
