Storage system having stackable and engageable vessels
A storage system includes a plurality of vessels each shaped to engage with an adjoining vessel in a top-to-bottom orientation. The volume of the vessels may vary. The lip of each vessel includes a plurality of radially positioned flanges, and the bottom of each vessel includes a plurality of radially positioned locking lugs that correspond and engage with the flanges upon rotation of one vessel relative to the other.
Reuseable shipping container for perishable food products
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.
Nestable sunshade coolers
Nestable sunshade coolers may include a cooler enclosure including an enclosure bottom panel, a pair of spaced-apart enclosure side panels extending from the enclosure bottom panel, an enclosure front panel and an enclosure rear panel extending from the enclosure bottom panel in spaced-apart relationship to each other between the enclosure side panels. A plurality of enclosure corners may join the enclosure side panels to the enclosure front panel and the enclosure rear panel to the enclosure side panels, respectively. An enclosure rim may be provided on the enclosure side panels, the enclosure front panel and the enclosure rear panel. The enclosure side panels, the enclosure front panel and the enclosure rear panel may angle outwardly from the enclosure bottom panel to the enclosure rim to form a substantially trapezoidal shape in longitudinal sectional view and cross-sectional view of the cooler enclosure. Accordingly, multiple ones of the cooler enclosure may be capable of substantially completely nesting inside one another for space-efficient stowage purposes. At least one accessory mount assembly may be carried by the cooler enclosure. The at least one accessory mount assembly may be suitably configured to removably mount at least one accessory on the cooler enclosure. A cooler lid may be selectively detachably carried by and deployable between open and closed positions on the cooler enclosure to open and close the enclosure interior.
Stackable container system
A stackable container system includes at least two coupling hooks disposed on oppositely lying side walls of the container system for connecting the coupling hooks with associated coupling recesses of another container system. The coupling hooks move between a coupled position, in which the coupling hooks are engaged in the coupling recesses, and a detached position, in which the coupling hooks are disengaged from the coupling recesses. The coupling recesses are disposed within a wall that extends beyond the upper surface of the container system. After placement of the container system on top of the other container system, one of the coupling hooks can be inserted in the horizontal direction into the associated coupling recess of the other container system. The oppositely lying coupling hook can be subsequently vertically pushed into the associated coupling recess of the other container system.
Packaging element constructed from folded blank
A packaging element for accommodating at least one product. The packaging element may include a blank which has the following portions connected to one another by folding lines: an accommodating portion having at least one receptacle, the shape of which is matched to the shape of a product to be accommodated; a first side-wall portion; a first cover-wall portion; a second side-wall portion; and a second cover-wall portion. The first cover-wall portion may have at least one hollow, and the second cover-wall portion may have at least one protrusion with a shape and position complementary to the hollow.
Compartmentalization system for industrial totes and compartmentalizable totes
A compartmentalization system for an industrial tote includes a base; side walls, which include recesses for retaining bins within the tote; and end walls. The tote may include eight recesses in each side wall for receiving a pair of inserts on a bin. The bins typically include two or four tabs. The bins that are used with the tote system include a base, opposed side walls, and end walls that define the interior of the bin. Typically, a lip formed at the top of the side and end walls to improve strength and stability. The tabs are formed on the exterior of at least one side wall. The tab is inserted into the recess in the tote. Each tab includes a riser that is substantially normal to the sidewall and a tab formed at the end of the riser so that the tab is spaced apart from the sidewall.
Cookware article and utensil handle
A stackable cookware article system may include a stackable handle having a grip portion including a projection and a hole configured for stacking with similarly configured handles. The hole may be adapted to receive in at least an upper inner surrounding portion a complimentary downward extending projection that extends from a substantially similar grip portion. When stacked, cookware articles, such as a series of vessels having progressively decreasing diameters, deploying the handle may stably stack in nested arrangements external portions of an inner nested vessel contacting the internal portion of an outer surrounding vessel in which it nests.
Nestable one quart half gallon and one gallon size paint cans for opening and closing them without the need of any tools
A nestable paint container having a main body can having a can bottom, the can is used for receiving paint, the paint body having tapering sidewalls; a circumferential paint can cover and grooved against an uppermost region beneath a rim of an upper side of the main body can; a small central can cover cap about an open small circular opening in the can cover; a substantially circular spline gripping element; and a drip spout.
Container for keeping fermented food
The present invention relates to a container for keeping fermented food, having for example, a main body for accommodating fermented food in an interior space; a pressing plate coming into contact with the surface of the fermented food in the main body; and a cover for blocking the opening of inside of the main body; wherein the main body has a stepped part protruded inwards from the inner circumferential surface of a neck part at an upper end portion, and the pressing plate has a protruded rim provided to the periphery of the upper end portion thereof so as to be placed on the stepped part, a vertical section provided to the lower end of the protruded rim and having an outer circumferential surface coming into contact with the inner circumferential surface of the stepped part, and a round surface provided at the lower end of the vertical section and having a bottom surface part coming into contact with the surface of the fermented food.
Paperboard tray with fold-over flange
A paperboard servingware container is provided. This paperboard servingware container may include a bottom panel; a curved transition portion located at the periphery of the bottom of panel. An upwardly extending wall extends from the curved transition portion opposite the bottom panel. An angled peripheral transition located adjacent the upward extending wall opposite the curved transition portion. A ledge portion that extends from the angled peripheral transition opposite the upward extending wall and away from the upward extending wall. A folded over flange portion that is bent downwardly with respect to the ledge portion.
