A baby changing, cleansing and bathing station with a basin hinged at the rear to pivot away from the wall overtop an existing toilet, a shower wand with adapter for connection to an existing faucet or shower, a front leg assembly for automatically deploying upon pivoting down of the basin, and a fold-down drain for automatically deploying upon pivoting down of the basin to drain water from the basin into said toilet. The automatic legs and drain allow for easy one-hand deployment while carrying a baby. The baby changing, cleansing and bathing station is adaptable to a freestanding configuration with either a cabinet enclosure or rear leg assembly for freestanding support, or a wall-mounted configuration with or without a cabinet enclosure.

A cellulosic particle, especially useful as a cat litter, is manufactured by agglomerating a fibrous cellulosic feed material in the presence of water, compacting the surface of the agglomerated particles, and drying the particles.

Agglomerated cellulosic particles

A closed paperboard carton for containing hot foods includes an automatically openable vent responsive to presence of hot vapor emanating from the food to accommodate escape of the vapor. The vent comprises a tab portion formed in a wall of the carton, defined by at least a pair of equal-length knife cuts and having a region of connection with the wall. Vapors emanating from the hot food condense, and are absorbed by the inwardly facing wall surfaces of the paperboard carton. Absorption of condensed vapors in the region of the tab causes the inwardly facing surface of the tab to swell so that it curls outwardly and forms a vent. Once the vapor has substantially escaped, the inwardly facing wall surfaces tend to dry out, accompanied by uncurling of the tab to its original, vent-closing position.
