Abstract: A portable pet feeder and supply storage apparatus has a first compartment having a base and sidewalls defining a first open space; a second compartment having a lid and sidewalls defining a second open space; a divider interposed between the first and second compartments, wherein the second compartment and the divider are hinged to the first compartment, the divider has a gasket; wherein the second compartment and the divider may be pivoted towards the first compartment to assume a closed position, the gasket on the divider providing a water-tight seal between the first compartment and the divider; a water dish and a food dish both removably insertable within the first open space; at least one removable container receivable within the second open space, the removable container configured to be refillable and water-tight; and wherein the second compartment and the divider are removably attachable to the first compartment.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a stackable container system. The stackable container system can comprise a beverage container, a beverage container lid, a plurality of smaller containers, and a plurality of smaller container lids. The smaller containers and smaller container lids are configured to allow any of the smaller container lids to be used on any of the smaller containers. The bottom of the beverage container and the bottom of each smaller container is also configured to allow the beverage container or smaller container to be interlocked with the top of any of the smaller container lids. In addition to storing beverage ingredients, the stackable container system can also be used to store other edible and inedible ingredients.

Abstract: A vacuum pump valve includes a valve body and a suction element. The valve body includes a sealing platform sealedly attached on the container at the opening thereof, and a guiding sleeve upwardly extended from the sealing platform to form a suction channel, wherein the sealing platform has an operation hole formed thereon at a position within the suction channel and at least a through ventilating groove communicating the receiving cavity of the container with an exterior thereof. The suction element is disposed within the suction channel of the valve body, including an enlarged sealing head adapted to seal on the sealing platform to enclose the ventilating groove thereof, and a guiding shaft extended from the sealing head to slidably mount at the sealing platform at the operation hole to move the sealing head between a releasing position and a sealing position.

Abstract: The invention relates a combined sample dispenser and order form comprising a backing sheet that may be prepared from cardboard and a generally planar retaining member, such as a clear plastic sheet, attached to the backing sheet along at least a portion thereof. The retaining member or plastic sheet defines a distention or pocket along a portion of its broad surface, that may contain samples of the product being dispensed, such as sample medications provided to physicians by pharmaceutical manufacturers. The invention is also useful for the sale of certain consumable items, including hardware, where the order form may be used by the consumer to directly request additional quantities of the product.

Abstract: A fishing box has a case outwardly shaped to suggest use for fishing. The case has mating hinged upper and lower segments, the lower segment being formed from thermally insulating material. A tray formed from thermally insulating material is removably nestled in the lower segment to define a thermally discrete lower compartment. A mechanism disposed in the upper segment permits a rod and reel to be removably stored in the box. A sub-compartment in the upper segment stores dry foods separated by the tray and by the rod from cold foods in the lower compartment. Preferably, the lower compartment is sized and contoured to store a beverage container, such as a twelve ounce can of pop, and the upper sub-compartment is sized and contoured to store a sandwich.

Abstract: An insulated flask has a cup assembly and a handle assembly alternately mounted on the flask body, the cup assembly comprising two telescopically stacks cups releasably mounted to the flask body by an annular collar, the cups having nested handles. The handle assembly includes an annular collar mountable to the flask body in a similar manner as the cup collar, and an elongate handle fixed to and extending from the handle assembly collar.

Abstract: A food carrier comprising longitudinally-aligned and spaced-apart thermos bottles with a supporting storage compartment, bowl and cup. Interengageable annular threads about said bowl, cup, thermos bottles, storage compartment and intermediate spacer ring allow for a single thermos or dual thermos configuration according to the desires of the user. The carrier allows for transport of first and/or second liquids with accompanying utensils, condiments and the like. A cup may accompany either the single thermos configuration or dual thermos configuration according to the desires of the user.

Abstract: A solar collector comprising, a bottle like structure with a front serrated lens surface, rear convex reflector, central heating chamber and plurality of tubular members each holding adjustable reflectors, for heating food located within the chamber is disclosed.

Abstract: The wall of a protective jacket of a vacuum flask, containing a double-walled vessel whose walls are permeable to solar radiation, includes parts capable of being swung open. These parts and a wall part situated between them each have a reflective coating. The reflective surfaces of these coatings, viewed in cross-section, extend along a parabola when the movable wall parts are opened out, so that incident solar radiation is collected in the core zone of the vessel. A solar-radiation absorbing member may be disposed in this core zone, e.g., a metal tube having a black outer surface. Liquid contents of such a vacuum flask can be heated by means of solar energy.
