An exemplary container for storing and transporting materials is disclosed. In various embodiments, the exemplary container includes one or more handles for assisting a user with lifting the exemplary container and/or controlling the exemplary container when pouring the exemplary container's contents. The one or more handles, in particular embodiments, are designed for minimum interference with other similar containers during transport. In some embodiments, certain handles are recessed within a cavity of a sidewall of the exemplary container.

A shipping container for shipping thermally active materials includes a plurality of structural panels that define a container interior, and are configured for receiving the thermally active materials. The container also includes an exterior disposed adjacent to an environment in which the shipping container is disposed. A thermal barrier member is placeable between the thermally active materials and the environment in which the container is placed. The thermal barrier includes a thermal barrier interior panel and a thermal barrier external panel defining a heat absorbing material receiving cavity. A flowable polymer based heat absorbing material is disposed within the heat absorbing material receiving cavity. The thermal barrier is configured to substantially surround the thermally active materials to reduce the passage of thermal energy between the thermally active materials and the environment in which the shipping container is disposed.

Provided is a polygonal in which a decoration effect equivalent to that of a cylindrical base-can is obtained without causing folding or deformation in a can body-part. Bottom-part outer-peripheral parts (A-2) of a cylindrical base-can that are expected to form linear parts (B-2) of a polygonal can (B) are moved inward in a radial direction, while bottom-part outer-peripheral parts (A-1) of the cylindrical base-can that are expected to form corner parts (B-1) of the polygonal can are moved outward in the radial direction. Thus, the polygonal can is molded such that the body-part cross-section peripheral length of the cylindrical base-can and the body-part cross-section peripheral length of the molded polygonal can have a substantially isometric relationship.

A container that is formed from a plurality of panels that are joined to each other by a plurality of edge brackets. Each of the edge brackets includes a first channel member and a second channel member that are joined to each other. The first channel member includes a first receiving channel and the second channel member includes a second receiving channel. The first and second receiving channels are arranged to be perpendicular to each other and are each sided to receive a side edge of one of the panels that form the container. The series of edge brackets can be used to securely assembly the container from the plurality of panels after the disassembled container has been shipped.

An open-type storage basket easy to assemble, comprising a side frame body arranged on a side and a bottom plate arranged on a bottom of the side frame body, the side frame body is formed by bending of at least one side edge frame, which have end parts connected through an X type clamping piece whose longitudinal cross section presents an X shape, the X type clamping piece includes a first V shaped metal strap arranged on one side, a second V shaped metal strap arranged on the other side; one end of the side edge frame is inserted into the first V shaped metal strap while the other end is inserted into the second V shaped metal strap; the first and second V shaped metal straps fix and connect together the side edge frame at the two ends through extrusion deformation to form side frame bodies of various shapes.

The present invention relates to a metal-box (14) comprising a metal frame (15), at least one metal wall (13) and at least one metal bottom plate (12), wherein the metal frame (15) comprises a metal profile (1), wherein the metal profile (1) comprising an elongated element (2) and a cross-section (3), wherein the cross-section (3) comprising (i) a cavity (4), and the cavity (4) is enclosed by a first flange (5), a bottom part (6) and a first side (8) of a second flange (7), and (ii) a recess (9) enclosed by a second side (10) of the second flange (7) and the bottom part (6).
