The present invention relates to a produce container which includes lid and a receptacle associated with the lid. The receptacle has four wall portions and a base. Each wall portion is connected to the base by a transition portion with one or more elongate apertures. The or each elongate aperture is configured and orientated such that its length is parallel to a longitudinal length of the transition portion in which the or each aperture is located.

A method of sealing a container and a lid by melt adhesion by laser. Either the container or the lid has a thermoplastic resin that permits the laser beam to transmit through and the other one has a resin composition of the thermoplastic resin containing a heat-generating substance. Further, the laser beam applies a rectangular beam having a uniform intensity distribution. The upper-limit of temperature is not lower than a melting point of the thermoplastic resin but lower than a thermal decomposition start temperature thereof in the melt adhesion interface between the container and the lid, and the temperature reaches the upper-limit in a heating time t (msec) represented by the following formula (1),
t (msec)=L/S(1)
where L is the length (mm) of the rectangular beam in the scanning direction, and S is the rate of laser scanning (mm/msec) of not higher than 1.65 mm/msec.

A security seal for a medical container includes a seal foot having at least one latch structure movable relative thereto for engaging a mating latch structure formed on the container, and a seal head connected with the seal foot that includes at least one locking tab which is movably connected with the seal head through a hinge element, wherein the security seal includes a bolt element which can be positioned between a release position, in which the latch structure can be moved relative to the seal foot, and a locked position, in which the deformable latch structure is fixed in position relative to the seal foot and/or seal head.

A medical apparatus that includes an apparatus body that has a surface with an opening and a cover coupled to the apparatus body about an axis of rotation angled to the surface. The cover is operable to rotate about the axis of rotation to move between a first position wherein the cover closes the opening and a second position wherein the cover is moved to allow access to the opening.

A cover is capable of covering an object by locking first locking portions and second locking portions to each other in a state where a lower end edge of a first cover body and an upper end edge of a second cover body abut. The first cover body includes a pair of first slits formed on both sides of the first locking portion and extending in a direction intersecting the lower end edge starting from the lower end edge, and a hole provided on the terminal end side of the first slits. The cover is capable of partially exposing the object by locking the first locking portion to the hole in a state where an opening/closing region having the first locking portion and sandwiched between the pair of first slits is folded back to the side of the terminal ends of the first slits along the pair of first slits.
