Abstract: A party accessory storage and display unit has a central portion with two spaced apart planar panels which form a U-shaped opening there between and a display panel hingeably and detachably mounted on the central portion to move between an open position and a closed position adjacent to the central portion. Two pivotal members are each pivotally connected to opposite sides of the central portion to move between a storage condition inside the U-shaped opening and a serving position outside of the U-shaped opening of the central portion. The central portion and the two pivotal members have several compartments for holding accessory items for a social event. A display panel is hingeably attached to the central portion for displaying selected indicia. The unit is easily adapted to be supported by different configurations and sizes of tables, and is easily set up, taken down, and transported.

Abstract: A game kit, including a generally rectangular box portion defining a recess, the box portion further including a case portion and a cover portion hingedly connected thereto, a generally flat support member hingedly connected to the case portion, a lockable armature assembly operationally connected to the generally flat support member and to the case portion, a first pipe operationally connected to the cover portion, a pair of ancillary pipes connected to the cover portion, wherein each respective ancillary pipe is positioned opposite the first pipe from the other respective ancillary pipe and wherein each ancillary pipe is equidistant from the first pipe, and a plurality of bean bags. The cover portion is pivotably connected to the case portion and pivotable between a closed position parallel to and engaging the case portion and an open position parallel to and extending away from the case portion.

Abstract: The invention provides a container comprising an upper section for storage, a lower section for storage, and a linkage arrangement attaching the upper section to the lower section, such that the upper and lower sections can be moved relative to each other between a closed configuration and an expanded configuration, the container further comprising at least one latch having a closed position and a released position, the latch being arranged to retain the upper section and the lower section in the closed configuration when it is in the closed position, and the latch being arranged to be releasable to the released position in which the upper and lower sections are movable into the expanded configuration.

Abstract: An improved case is disclosed with a pivoting platform. The case comprises a lower case having a primary side wall and a secondary side wall for defining a lower case chamber. Lower ends of a first arm, a second arm, a third arm and a fourth arm are pivotably coupled to the case. A platform has a primary platform side and a secondary platform side. Upper ends of the first arm, the second arm, the third arm and the fourth arm are pivotably coupled to the platform. The first arm, the second arm, the third arm and the fourth arm displace the platform between an elevated position and a non-elevated position. A primary spring is coupled to the lower end of the first arm and the upper end of the second arm for retaining the platform in the elevated position and the non-elevated position.

Abstract: An apparatus for at least one of the transport, storage, and display of one or more items of at least one of apparel and accessories is provided. The apparatus includes at least one crib defined by a bottom plate, a back plate, and first and second side plates, each of the at least one crib for having disposed therein one or more items of at least one of apparel and accessories. The at least one crib includes the bottom plate that is one of square and rectangular in shape, the back plate that is one of square and rectangular in shape, and the first and second side plates that have the same shape and that are facing each other. Each of the back plate and first and second side plates are perpendicular to the bottom plate. One edge of each of the back plate and first and second side plates is coupled to a respective one edge of the bottom plate. One edge of each of first and second side plates is coupled to a respective one edge of the back plat.

Abstract: A packaging/displaying device includes a main blank foldable into a housing that has a bottom panel, two side panels extending upwardly from two opposite sides of the bottom panel, a back panel extending upwardly from the bottom panel and connected between the side panels, and a top panel connected to a top end of the back panel and extending above the bottom panel, said top, bottom and side panels cooperatively defining a housing space for an object, the top panel having a through hole extending through said top panel to retain a top end of an object. The housing is open at its front side to display the object.

Abstract: A container assembly is provided that includes a base container that has an upper opening and an upper container mounted in covering relation over the upper opening of the base container. A linkage connects the upper container to the base container in a manner that allows the upper container to be displaced from the covering relation over the upper opening of the base container, so as to permit access into the base container through the upper opening. A support assembly is spaced from the base container when the upper container is displaced from the covering relation over the upper opening of the base container and wheels are disposed toward a lower portion of the container assembly. A handle is provided for rollingly transporting the container assembly on the wheels in a tilted configuration.
