Method for coating a five-sided container with sag-resistant water-based coating compositions
The present invention provides a water-based coating and/or coating system used to form sag resistant wet layers or coatings on a wide range of substrates. The coating system is effective for protecting metal-containing substrates, such as intermodal cargo containers, against corrosion. As an overview, the present invention provides water-based compositions as primer coats on substrates, and methods for applying the same to substrates. The method includes steps of applying a water-based paint to the interior surfaces of a substrate and drying the substrate by continuously forcing heated air onto the substrate as it moves through a drying chamber. Desirably, the primer incorporates a high level of one or more CAS agents for excellent sag resistance while drying in a broad range of relative humidity environments. Alternatively, modifications can be made to control temperature and humidity during spray application and drying as a way to increase sag resistance of the coating.
COLLAPSIBLE BOX
A collapsible box has a bottom with a plurality of foldable walls, each of which is hinged to the bottom. Each wall is displaceable between a collapsed state and an erected state, in which the walls are connected by locking means. The bottom and the walls in the erected state define a space. The bottom includes a guiding element configured to receive at least a part of an upper rim of another collapsible box stacked underneath.
REUSEABLE SHIPPING CONTAINER FOR PERISHABLE FOOD PRODUCTS
A reuseable container is provided for storage and transport of prepared meat in log format. The container has a base, a pair of upwardly extending side walls, and a pair of upwardly extending end walls connected with the side walls to form a generally rectangular box. The box has four interior edges and four interior corners where the side and end walls join the base. The box is integrally formed of molded polyethylene. Each of the four interior edges and four interior corners has a rounded interior profile to prevent accumulation of material and facilitate sanitation between uses. A reuseable container system is also provided having a removable lid, and access panel.

METHOD AND MOLD FOR MOLDING A FOAMED PLASTIC FOLDABLE CONTAINER, AND CONTAINER MANUFACTURED THEREBY
A foamed plastic foldable container has a first wall, a pair of mutually facing second walls hingedly coupled to the first wall, a pair of mutually facing third walls hingedly coupled to the first wall, and a closing wall defined by at least one panel hingedly coupled to one of the second walls.
Nestable and stackable straight wall tote with expandable and collapsible bottom structure
A nestable and stackable straight wall tote with an expandable bottom is provided. The tote includes a bottom wall connected to each of a first end wall, a second end wall, a first side wall and a second side wall by an expandable and collapsible linking portion. The expandable and collapsible linking portions allows for expanding the bottom portion of the tote outward to enable the tote to either stack on a like tote when expanded or nest with a like tote (when collapsed. The tote can include a lock mechanism in the bottom to keep the walls in an expanded position.
STORAGE CONTAINER FOR AUTOMATED STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
A storage container for storing product items in an automated storage and retrieval system includes a base; two first parallel side walls; two second parallel side walls perpendicular to the two first parallel side walls; a top opening; and two side openings. The two side openings allow one or more items to be unloaded from the storage container or loaded into the storage container through one of the side openings at an unloading station or at a loading station. The storage container is provided with a restraint which is arranged to restrain movement of the one or more items from exiting through one of the side openings during transportation of the storage container to the unloading or loading station.

CONTAINER HAVING A SUPPORT PLATE WHICH HAS PROJECTIONS
A container includes a base; side walls extending upwards from an upper face of the base; and at least one support plate which is spaced apart from a lower face of the base and is connected to the lower face of the base by ribs extending transversely to the base and transversely to the at least one support plate. At least two laterally protruding projections are formed at least on an edge portion of the support plate extending along one of the side walls. At least two support recesses for receiving at least two projections of a support plate of an identical container stacked thereon are formed in the upper edge portion of the at least one side wall.
