A container assembly for receiving and storing a fluid includes a hollow container body and a hollow support trunk. The container body has an internal chamber for receiving and storing a fluid. The container body includes a front wall and an opposing back wall at least partially defining the internal chamber. The front wall includes an opening therethrough to allow the fluid to be received in the internal chamber. The support trunk is coupled to the opening in the front wall. The support trunk extends through the internal chamber and includes a distal end engaging the back wall. The support trunk provides support to the front wall and channels the fluid from the opening to the internal chamber.

The application relates to a container assembly and a container. The container assembly comprises a first and a second container that are assembled to each other in a detachable manner. The first container has a first surface and the second container has a second surface. When the first container is assembled with the second container, the first surface is associated with the second surface. The first container comprises a first container body and a connection element mounted to the first container body. The connection element has an arm suspended on the first surface. The second container comprises a latch element arranged on the second surface, wherein the latch element is configured to be associated with the arm for assembling the first and the second container. Two or more such containers can be assembled to each other by means of association of the connection element of one container with the latch element of another container, so that the storage or transportation of the containers or the container assembly can be simplified.

Described herein is an improved bottle and lid design that eliminates the need for lids on bottles that require unscrewing, snapping, or other exertion to remove and/or replace the lid.

A high-capacity bin for storing loose agricultural commodities, for example, fruits and vegetables, has a basket, four risers, and two foot straps. The sidewalls of the basket have a curved contour in the form of a dome with waves superimposed on the dome along the entire length of the dome, to strengthen the sidewalls against compressive, hydraulic, and buckling forces. The four risers are removably attached to the four corners of the basket, and have a webbed pattern of ridges, and valleys defined between the ridges, to stiffen the risers. The foot straps are removably retained by posts and sockets formed on the bottom of the basket.

A container lid comprising a frustum shaped sidewall, a chuck shoulder formed between an upper edge of the sidewall and a seaming panel, and at least one translative motion guide feature extending radially inward from the sidewall. A bottom (lower) edge of the sidewall can be closed by a bottom wall or rolled creating an open design. The frustum shaped sidewall and size of the translative motion guide features is designed to enable nesting of multiple container lids/caps. The lid is seamed to a container body. The lid and cap each include sealing surfaces designed to engage with one another creating a gas and liquid impervious seal, preferably capable of retaining pressure within a container. Alternatively, the translative motion guide feature can be integral with a frustum shaped container body, such as a cup.

A multi-axial blow-molded packing cushion is a resilient, hollow, thin-walled, generally parallelepiped blow-molded body, having opposite ends, each end defining a groove thereacross. The grooves are each sized and shaped to receive opposite edges of a rectangular opening in a packing insert. Each packing cushion may be snap-fitted into the packing insert rectangular opening by sliding a first end of the packing cushion into a rectangular opening, aligning a first groove defined across the first end of the packing cushion with a first edge of the rectangular opening and pressing down on the packing cushion to snap-fit a second groove defined across a second end of the packing cushion over a second edge of the rectangular opening, with the second grove aligned with the second edge of the rectangular opening. The packing insert, with maintained cushions, is disposed between a packed item and outer packaging, on each item side.

A drink cup includes a body formed to include an interior region providing a fluid-holding reservoir and a brim. The brim is coupled to the body to form an opening into the interior region. The body includes a floor and a sidewall that extends away from the floor. The drink cup further includes a body-strengthening system coupled to the body.

A container lid is provided herein having structurally reinforcing ribs therein. The ribs increase the strength of the lid across a central region thereof. Specifically, the lid can have an outer perimeter and the ribs can be spaced inwardly from the outer perimeter. The inwardly spaced ribs can provide a distinct look for consumer differentiation. Additionally, the ribs can be arcuate so that they generally follow a curvature of the outer perimeter of the lid. As such, a label region within the lid central region is preserved, while the lid is still strengthened by the ribs.

A food storage system comprising a bottom receptacle, a plurality of stackable containers, a handle configured to extend over a topmost one of the plurality of stackable containers, and a fastening mechanism having a bottom end coupled to the bottom receptacle and a top end coupled to the top lid. A length of the fastening mechanism is adjustable so that a spacing between the bottom receptacle and the handle is adjustable.

The present invention is in the field of modular structures, assembled by way of fastening or attached means, whose purpose is to be used as base support structures for various applications, particularly connecting systems involving plastic or aluminum containers, recipients, bottles or vessels. Particularly, the invention comprises an omnidirectional construction system that includes connectors and terminals to be attached to containers with threaded openings or flat openings and container bases, to which various types of connectors may be attached to.
