A paper towel dispenser includes two static positions, an 'up' position and a 'down' position. One embodiment includes an actuator lock component for engaging and displacing sliders. An actuator unlock component is positioned over the actuator lock component. The legs or extensions of the actuator unlock component extend in a downward direction. The body of the actuator is thus positioned above the sliders. The other embodiment includes spring leafs for engaging and displacing the sliders. The actuator is positioned under the spring leafs. The legs or extensions of the actuator extend in an upward direction. The body of the actuator is thus positioned below the sliders. In one embodiment, in the &#x201c;up&#x201d; position, the sliders extend outwardly and in the &#x201c;down&#x201d; position, the sliders extend inwardly, whereas, in the other embodiment, in the &#x201c;up&#x201d; position, the sliders extend inwardly and in the &#x201c;down&#x201d; position, the sliders extend outwardly.

Paper towel dispenser

A collapsible container is provided. The collapsible container includes a substantially rigid upper rim, and a container portion that is made entirely of a flexible (collapsible) material. The flexible container has a base and side walls extending upward from the base. The side walls include at least one living hinge, and the base is formed with a structural ribbing configuration. The structural ribbing integrated into the base and formed of the flexible material creates a level of rigidity in the same that allows the entire container to collapse and extend without requirement any other materials incorporated into the container portion.

Collapsible container

A spice grinding and dispensing device generally intended to be used for grinding one spice in a first portion and a second spice in the other portion. Each portion of the dual spice grinder includes a handle or trigger that activates an independent rasp mechanism. When the trigger is pressed, the rasp activated thereby moves down and forces ground spice through an opening. The pressure of the rasp against the inside of the bottom of the grinder breaks up the spice, and only spice that is properly sized can fit through the opening. Furthermore, the opening may be adjustable so that a user can create a coarse or finely ground spice.
