A foldable container and a cleaning tool assembly are provided. The foldable container includes a foldable side wall disposed annularly. The foldable side wall includes two adjacent connecting parts connected through a flexible part. When the foldable container is unfolded, the connecting parts rotate around a fold part on the flexible part. A first abutting part and a second abutting part are respectively disposed on two sides of the fold part and are arranged on the flexible part or the connecting parts. When the foldable container is in an unfolded state, the first abutting part abuts against the second abutting part. The cleaning tool assembly includes a cleaning tool and the foldable container. When the foldable container is unfolded to be used, the first abutting part abuts against the second abutting part.

The invention involves a childproof box that suitable for medicinal items such as tablets, medication or other consumables that may be desirably restricted from children. The childproof mechanism that restricts access to the contents of the box may employ a base shell that slides in and out of a cover shell, which respectively conceals and exposes a storage cavity. Both shells have corresponding tracks and corresponding protrusions configured to engage with each other in a manner so that the base shell may only be accessed (or slid open) when a user presses and pushes on a top surface of the cover shell. The structural elements of each of the shells are such that a user may operate the childproof box with a single hand. In exemplary embodiments, the childproof box comprises of flat surfaces that form a generally rectangular box, which is easy to carry, manipulate and store.

A modular aerial cargo aerodynamic encasement and a method for modular aviation cargo transport is provided. The aviation cargo aerodynamic encasement comprises a platform having a planar upper surface configured to accept cargo and a lower surface. The lower surface includes two or more ground supports displacing a portion of the platform from contact with a supporting surface. The platform includes two or more load transfer structures. The aviation cargo aerodynamic encasement further comprises a fairing configured to detachably couple to the platform, wherein the fairing, when coupled to the platform, forms an aerodynamic encasement, and wherein the aerodynamic encasement is detachably mountable to an aircraft by the two or more load transfer structures.

Disclosed herein are modular container systems having child-resistant containers, tray inserts and tray frames. Also disclosed are methods using the modular container systems and methods of storing substances in containers. The containers have a container base and a container cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the container cap from container base with a squeeze and lift sequence. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container base, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The components of the modular container system are modular and stackable. The modular system allow for organized, efficient, accessible and storage of the child-resistant containers. The modular container system also allows for easy counting, sorting and processing of the containers.

A plastic article is recited having a plastic shell including walls defining a cavity. Within the cavity is an in-situ foam core including expanded polymer beads. A layer of the expanded polymer beads includes a layer of distorted beads adjacent to the walls. The in-situ foam core has a thermal bond to the walls.

The present invention relates to a rigid plastics-material internal container (12) from a thermoplastic plastics material for a pallet container (10) or a similar large-volume retainer for storing and for transporting liquid or free-flowing filling materials, having a flexible inliner (28) from a thin-walled plastics-material or composite-material film that is inserted into the rigid plastics-material internal container (12).

For filling and removal at the base, the thin-walled inliner (28) at the base side has at least one filling and removal connector (42), said filling and removal connector (42) at the front being fixedly welded into a corresponding filling and removal connector (32) at the base side of the rigid plastics-material internal container (12). For filling from above and removal of the filling material at the base side, the rigid plastics-material internal container (12) and the thin-walled inliner (28) can in each case also be provided with an upper filling connector, wherein in this instance the upper filling connector (44) of the thin-walled inliner (28) is likewise fixedly welded into the filling connector (30) of the rigid plastics-material internal container (12).

The thin-walled inliner (28) that is inserted in the rigid plastics-material internal container (12) in the assembled final state by way of vacuuming bears in a fully planar manner on the internal surface of the rigid plastics-material internal container (12), and in the empty non-filled state as well as in the filled state of the rigid plastics-material internal container (12) adheres in an immovable fixed manner, as if adhesively bonded, on the internal surface, in particular also on the upper base of the internal container.

A reusable 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 reusable container system is also provided having a removable lid, and access panel.
