A utility system comprises a plurality of side walls; a top wall that is configured to be nested to the side walls whereby the top wall can engage and disengage from the side walls; a divider within an interior of the utility system; and a container that is removable from and insertable into the interior of the utility system.

Devices, systems, and methods using embedded magnets are provided. In some embodiments, a system of using embedded magnets in a humidor is provided. In some embodiments, devices, systems and methods for attaching a humidor accessory to a humidor are provided.

The disclosed systems and methods relate to improved tamper-proof cases for securely storing and shipping products. In one example, a tamper-proof case comprises a unibody frame constructed from a single piece of material. The unibody frame can comprise six sides and include one or more living hinges that allow the unibody frame to fold into a completed case. Various sides can be configured to receive panels to give the crate additional structure, rigidity, and security. Additionally, the frame can comprise a split-top lid with a self-locking mechanism with a tamper-proof pull tab for opening the lid.

The invention generally involves a button display system and button display apparatus for storing, organizing, and facilitating a display of at least one button. The button display system comprises a storage container and an apparatus that is exemplarily, although not necessarily modular. The modular device may be a modular rack assembly removably coupled to an interior of the storage container. The modular rack assembly may include a plurality of modular rack trays, each of the plurality of modular rack trays including a plurality of slits configured to receive a portion of a button positioned in a slanted orientation. The button display system enables systematic organization of at least one, but usually several buttons, effectively storing, preserving, and facilitating their display.

A method for packaging and displaying knockdown crates for sale at a retail location is disclosed. The method of packaging and displaying knockdown crates generally includes: (a) providing one or more unassembled knockdown crates having two end panels, a bottom panel, and two side panels; (b) uniformly stacking and packing each unassembled knockdown crate into a rectangular tray; and (c) each rectangular tray containing an unassembled knockdown crate stacked into a display box, wherein the exterior of the display box advertises the contents therein for display at a retail location.

A storage container for shipping fan blades includes blade compartments each housing one or more fan blades, where each compartment includes an upper foam retention holder that maintains a fan blade tip end in place and a lower foam retention holder that maintains a blade root in place, both holders configured and positioned to prevent twisting or lateral movement of the blades when in the compartment. The compartments form container rows, such that a housing of the storage container has one or more retainer walls that are movable between an access position allowing user access to insert and remove fan blades from compartments and retaining position blocking user access to insert and remove fan blades from compartments.

An improved knockdown crate and method of display for sale thereof. The knockdown crate generally includes two end panels, each with a bottom edge and opposing side edges, each edge comprising an interior groove extending the length thereof; a bottom panel comprising a plurality of longitudinal slats and two transverse connection members connecting the plurality of longitudinal slats in parallel, the transverse connection members have a geometric cross section which seat with the interior grooves of the bottom edges of the two end panels; and two side panels each comprising a plurality of longitudinal slats and two transverse connection members connecting the plurality of longitudinal slats in parallel, the transverse connection members have a geometric cross section which seat with the interior grooves of the opposing side edges of the two end panels respectively.

A joint for furniture uses alternating tabs and slots formed along an edge of first and second furniture panels. The panels are joined together so that tabs in the first panel are disposed in slots in the second panel and tabs in the second panel are disposed in slots in the first panel. This arrangement causes the slots to flex outwardly and the tabs to flex inwardly once assembled and creates residual stress in the assembled joint which stiffens the joint.

A collapsible crate and a method for synchronizing a method of assembling a collapsible crate are provided. The collapsible crate comprising a base, a first panel, a second panel, and a band style fastener. The first panel and the second panel are at least partially disposed within gaps between stringers of the base. The band style fastener is disposed about a portion of the base and a portion of one of the first panel and the second panel. The band style fastener secures the one of the first panel and the second panel to the base. The first panel and the second panel at least partially disposed in the base facilitates a transition fit therebetween. The collapsible crate is compact when the crate is collapsed and decreases a cost of the crate.

A wooden cask for storing and aging wine and other beverages including four side panels, a bottom panel and a top panel. The panels are provided with substantially planar outer and inner surfaces joined to one another so as to define an internal storage volume. Vertical beams form buttresses against the outer surfaces of at least two opposite side panels. The two ends of the beams project beyond the bottom and top edges of the side panel against which same are fitted, such that the casks may be stacked by placing the beams thereof one on top of the other without the side walls of the stacked casks touching one another.
