A blending system includes a container assembly. The container assembly includes a body. The body has a closed end and an open end. A plate insert is attached to the closed end. A blade assembly is attached to the plate insert. The blade assembly includes a blade. The blade may be balanced.

Blending container with plate insert and blade assembly

A blending system includes a container and a tamper. The container includes a lid. The tamper may be inserted into the container through an aperture of the lid. The tamper extends towards but does not touch a blade assembly. The tamper is positionable in a vertical position and an angled position. The tamper includes a stop that prevents the tamper from touching the blade assembly in the first position. Another stop prevents the tamper from touching the blade in a second position. The tamper may reach toward the edges of the container in an angled position to manipulate foodstuffs.

A voice amplifier for attachment to a mask has a sound reflector that faces outwardly of the mask when the voice amplifier is attached to the mask. A speaker faces inwards towards the sound reflector. Sound waves emanate from the speaker inward towards the sound reflector, reflect off the sound reflector and exit the voice amplifier through an outer peripheral gap and travel outwardly from the mask. The voice amplifier has an on/off switch mounted on the front of the voice amplifier. The voice amplifier cover has a front wall with a front surface facing away from the mask. The narrow end of the speaker is located closer to the front wall of the cover than the wide end. The cover front wall follows the profile of the speaker in a direction from the narrow end to the wide end of the speaker.

Light emitting panel assemblies include in one form of the invention a light emitting panel member made of a transparent resiliently deformable elastomeric material that absorbs impact without breakage for use in automotive lighting applications of various types. In another form of the invention, a rigid light emitting panel member may be used with dome switches for switch area lighting or to backlight control buttons/key pads. Also, a rigid light emitting panel member may be used as a structural member, and two or more such light emitting panel members may be stacked together and used to light an instrument panel or the like.

Light emitting panel assemblies include in one form of the invention a light emitting panel member made of a transparent resiliently deformable elastomeric material that absorbs impact without breakage for use in automotive lighting applications of various types. In another form of the invention, a rigid light emitting panel member may be used with dome switches for switch area lighting or to backlight control buttons/key pads by providing holes or openings in the panel member for the control buttons/key pads. Also, a rigid light emitting panel member may be used as a structural member, and two or more such light emitting panel members may be stacked together and used to light an instrument panel or the like. One or more light sources may be mounted within one or more light transition areas adjacent one or more light input surfaces of the light emitting panel members. Also one or more light sources may be positioned adjacent one side of the light emitting panel members for causing light to shine through the panel members or through holes in the panel members for performing specified lighting functions.
