Apparatus is provided for a storage system that can be securely and reversibly installed in a vehicle. The apparatus presented comprises a storage unit which may readily store multiple small-to-medium objects, and which may be securely fastened to the vehicle frame or vehicle elements. The apparatus further presents aspects allowing easy access to the storage unit, for loading and unloading, and allowing the storage unit to be securely fastened closed for storage. The storage apparatus' storage unit may comprise a single sheet of material, folded and joined to create adjacent sides. The present invention solves problems with the currently available apparatuses of vehicle storage systems.

Apparatus and installation methods for sampling ports are disclosed. Sampling ports include a port housing and a lid assembly. The lid assembly is configured to sealably close against the port housing. Additionally, the lid assembly can be secured, such as with a lock, to the port housing. In one aspect, the port housing includes a sample mount arrangement configured to receive a sampling assembly. The sample mount arrangement defines a sampling channel and the port housing defines a sampling opening and a first securing mount. The lid assembly includes a latch arrangement and defines a second securing mount.

Seal integrity indicators for sterilization containers are provided. For example, a seal indicator may indicate whether the container is sufficiently sealed to prevent an ingress of contaminants into the container. If the container is sufficiently sealed, the seal indicator is visible, but if not, the seal indicator is not visible. Thus, the seal indicator undergoes a change in state when the sterilization container transitions from unsealed to sealed, or vice versa, such that a user may ascertain whether the container is properly sealed to maintain the container's sterility. An exemplary seal indicator includes an invertible projection formed with the container gasket that is not visible from outside the container until inverted, due to force applied by the lid, to extend through an opening in the container body. Closure mechanisms for sterilization containers also are provided.

Systems and methods for nesting product packaging with strainer inserts are provided. Product packaging systems may include, for example, a product container with a lid and with a strainer insert disposed within the container. In some embodiments, the strainer inserts may be snapped into place in a channel, groove, or other retention feature of the parent container, thus permitting coupling without the use of adhesives or fasteners. The strainer inserts, when coupled within the parent containers, may define a drainage volume in which product fluids may drain to maintain the product separately from the fluids, e.g., to prolong shelf-life of the product.

A system for cryptographic wireless detection and authentication of fluids includes a computing device configured to receive, from a transmitter attached to a container, a unique identifier associated with a fluid contained in the container, locate, at an immutable sequential listing, at least an identifier-specific record using the unique identifier, and a lot identifier associated with the unique identifier, retrieve, from the immutable sequential listing, at least a lot-specific record using the lot identifier, capture, from the container, at least a secondary datum describing the container, generate an authenticity probability score as a function of the at least an identifier-specific record, the at least a lot-specific record, and the at least a secondary datum, and display to a user an output based on the authenticity probability score.

Disclosed herein are child-resistant containers having an integrated window. The containers have a container base and a container cap. The container cap contains the integrated window so that a user can view the contents stored within the container. The window can be any transparent, semi-transparent or translucent material. The material can control one or more environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, oxygen, ultra-violet light and others.

A spill-preventing lid for a container comprises a lid body having a top, a bottom, a peripheral flange and a drink opening through the body from the bottom to the top, and a spill-preventing baffle, the baffle comprising a wall extending downwardly from the bottom of the lid body, the baffle having a top and a bottom, the top of the baffle communicating with the drink opening, at least one opening in the bottom, and a passage leading from the at least one opening in the bottom to the top, allowing liquid to flow from the container into the baffle, though the passaged defined by the baffle and to the drink opening, the at least one opening in the bottom being substantially smaller in dimension than the dimension of the drink opening.

A system for food containment and transport is disclosed herein. Exemplary systems utilize a multi-configuration lid operable to connect to a container in different configurations depending on the type of food or item being contained and transported. In one configuration, the multi-configuration lid can be connected to a container to form an airtight seal. In another configuration, the multi-configuration lid can be connected to a container to allow venting of the container. The exemplary lid and container systems disclosed herein a further adapted for easy storage and transport.

The present invention relates to an airtight container that is usually used to keep foodstuffs including food and drinks. The airtight container includes: a container part; and a lid part configured to be locked to the top of the container part, in which the lid part has a two-step opening/closing structure to partially open the container part or to completely open the container by being separated from the container part when the lid part is locked to the container part. The lid part includes: a body having locking portions integrally formed such that the body can be locked to the container part on the top of the container part; and a lid plate hinged at a side on the body part to be rotatable, having integral locking portions to be able to be locked to the container part, and used to open a portion of the container part with the body locked to the container part.

According to the present invention, it is possible to open/close the lid part fastened to the container part in two steps of partial opening/closing and complete opening/closing, increase ease and convenience in use, achieve stable sealing force at the container part and the lid part, and increase durability of the product such as preventing contraction when forming the product.

The present embodiments describe an insulated drinking vessel with a multifunction lid. In an embodiment, the drinking vessel can be configured to receive a multifunction lid. The multifunction lid may, in one embodiment, include an opening for receiving a drinking straw. In an embodiment, the multifunction lid may additionally include an opening for drinking or sipping directly through the lid. In an embodiment, the lid may include an operable cover for covering at least one of the openings in a first position and for allowing access to the fluid through the opening in a second position. In a further embodiment, the lid may include a plurality of operable covers. A first operable cover may be configured for covering the drinking straw opening in a first position and allowing insertion of a straw in a second position. The lid may also include an operable cover for covering the sipping spout in a first position and allowing drinking directly through the spout in a second position.
