BULK MATERIAL CONTAINER
The disclosure provides a bulk material container including a body and one or more first engagement elements. The body includes a plurality of side walls, a bottom, a cavity, and an opening. The plurality of side walls are coupled to the bottom, and the cavity, which is configured to receive a bulk material, is formed within the plurality of side walls and above the bottom. The opening is formed by the plurality of side walls spatially opposite of the bottom and is configured to discharge the bulk material when the bulk material container is at least partially inverted. The one or more first engagement elements are coupled to the bottom of the body, and the one or more first engagement elements are configured to receive one or more prongs of a transportation device or a bulk material unloading device.
Foldable container
A foldable container enables the entire height of a folded state thereof to be one fifth of the entire height of the state of being folded, such that the height of an international standard container can be satisfied even though empty containers are stacked in five stages. To this end, the hexagonal foldable container can include an upper panel part and a lower panel part respectively forming the upper surface and lower surface thereof; a left panel part and a right panel part respectively forming the left surface and right surface thereof, and respectively folded; a front panel part and a rear panel part respectively forming the front surface and rear surface thereof; and a fixing bar provided at the outer surface of the rear panel part.
Container-connecting fitting
To provide a preferable container-connecting fitting with which it is possible to anchor a container using a cable, a connecting fitting is, at a part thereof, fitted into non-circular hole in the container and is connected to the cable. The fitting has a shaft part to be inserted into the hole in the container. One end side of the shaft part is provided with a first flange which can pass through the hole only when positioned at a specific angle about the center line of the shaft part, and the other side of the shaft part is provided with a second flange that is too large to pass through the hole. Further, a cable connecting part is mounted on an opposite side where the first flange is present, the second flange being interposed therebetween, so as to be able to rotate, about the center line of the shaft part.
Method and apparatus for servicing a tank, a plug, or a tank and plug
An apparatus for servicing a tank and/or a plug includes a valve having a first port sealingly couplable onto a tank port surrounding the plug, a second port, and a valve member operable between an open position providing a pathway between the first and second ports, and a closed position providing a sealed barrier between the first and second ports. The apparatus further includes an adapter sealingly couplable to the second port, and a plug displacement tool couplable to the adapter for displacing the plug relative to the tank when the first port is coupled to the tank port, the adapter is coupled to the second port, and the valve member is in the open position.
Modular facility formation system and shipping method
A modular facility formation system includes any number of modules that may be coupled to one another to create a facility. Walls of the facility may be provided by one or more removeable walls, the walls of a shipping container, or a combination thereof. When installed within a shipping container, upper and lower braces are pressure fit into the shipping container without penetrating the container. The lower braces are configured to engage guidance mechanisms of the modules to guide the modules into a stowage position within the shipping container and to secure the modules in place. The modules may be configured with a pre-determined internal configuration corresponding to a defined function of the room within the facility.
BULK MATERIAL CONTAINER
A bulk material container includes a cuboid support structure having floor and roof frames supporting sheet metal cladding with floor wall, side walls and end walls completely closed, without loading and unloading openings. The roof frame delimits a roof opening for loading and unloading bulk material. The floor frame has a forklift pocket formed of tubular cross supports with a closed cross section and outwardly open ends in a container transverse direction. Unloading includes engaging a forklift in the pocket for tilting the container until bulk material falls out of the open roof. To increase container rigidity during unloading, the forklift pocket is a component of a U-shaped hollow support reinforcement, at which the pocket transitions into vertical reinforcement hollow supports at floor reinforcement nodes on both sides in the container transverse direction. The vertical reinforcement hollow supports are attached to the roof frame, forming roof reinforcement nodes.
Height extensible container-type warehouse
The present invention relates to a height-extensible container-type warehouse that is manufactured in a container type at a factory, can be transported to a desired place, and can be increased in height at the place by coupling a section, which exceeds a height limit under the Road Traffic Act and is separately manufactured, to an opening of the warehouse in order to increase the height thereof.
Pressure vacuum relief valve
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward a pressure vacuum relief valve and a seal assembly of the pressure vacuum relief valve. The seal assembly includes a ribbed substrate disposed against a flanged seat of the pressure vacuum relief valve. The ribbed substrate includes ribs extending from a base of the ribbed substrate. The seal assembly also includes a pallet coupled to and disposed below the ribbed substrate. The pallet includes a top ring, a bottom ring, and a flexible diaphragm captured between the top ring and the bottom ring. The flexible diaphragm of the pallet is configured to seal against the ribbed substrate in a sealed position. The pallet and ribbed substrate are configured to move together away from the flanged seat when a pressure on a sealed side of the pressure vacuum relief valve exceeds a maximum pressure threshold. The pallet is also configured to pivot open at an angle relative to the sealed position of the pallet when the pressure on the sealed side of the pressure vacuum relief valve falls below a minimum pressure threshold.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COLLAPSIBLE CONTAINER
A hollow container or box formed from a top panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, opposed end panels, and a base panel placing the container or box in a fully assembled position. The second side panel is releasably coupled to the base panel and each of the other panels are hingedly coupled to one another. Upon rotating each of the opposed end panels, the top panel, the first side panel, and the second side panel relative to one another and various axis rotation in combination with releasably detaching the second side panel from the base panel, the container or box is transitioned from a fully assembled position into a flat, parallel orientation, fully collapsed position.
