The present disclosure concerns a coupling mechanism for detachably attaching two or more utility modules to one another, utility assembles, mobile carriers and other attachable modules and articles.

The present invention relates to containers which can be stacked one on top of another whilst still permitting easy access to the contents of any container within the stack without the need for de-stacking. The contents of the containers remain secured within the container.

The present disclosure concerns a coupling mechanism for detachably attaching two or more utility modules to one another, utility assembles, mobile carriers and other attachable modules and articles.

A hollow container or box formed from a roof, a first side (i.e., or first upper and lower sides), a second side (i.e., for second upper and lower sides), a rear side (i.e., or rear upper and lower sides), a door (i.e., or upper and lower door), and a base placing the container or box in a fully assembled position. Unique side and end access doors are provided. Each of the sides are releaseably coupled or hingedly connected to one another and the adjacent sides are hingedly coupled to the base. Upon releasing the sides from one another and rotating each relative to one another in a particular order along various axis rotation, the container or box is transitioned from a fully assembled position into a flat, parallel orientation, fully collapsed position

At least one locking groove in a first storage container for receiving a sliding mechanism combined to a second storage container. The sliding mechanism selectively engages the locking groove of the first storage container to connect and hold the first storage container to the second storage container such that a portion of the sliding mechanism extends laterally away from the side surface of the container when the sliding mechanism is disengaged from the locking groove and wherein the portion of the sliding mechanism is coplanar with the side surface of the container when the sliding mechanism is engaged with the locking groove.

The present disclosure is in the field of containers for consumer products. More particularly, systems and methods are provided for joining two containers at their respective ends and enabling one container to turn and cause contents to be extruded from the other container. Embodiments of the invention comprise two containers of personal care products attached with their bottom surfaces joined in back-to-back fashion. The containers are positioned upright with one on top of the other such that the container on the bottom is upside down. The lower container, which may contain lotion or moisturizer, is connected to the upper container which contains stick deodorant movable by an internal spindle and lift. The spindle-lift mechanism allows the stick deodorant to move up and down when the upper and lower containers are rotated about one another.

A storage system is described where goods are stored in containers and the containers are stored in stacks. Above the stacks runs a grid network of tracks on which load handling devices run. The load handling devices take containers from the stacks and deposit then at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit then at stations where goods may be picked out. The containers comprise liners formed from flame retardant or flame suppressant material. Containers comprising liner means are used to store ignitable items within the storage system.

The invention relates to a method of packaging a packaged product (102) and one or more unpackaged products (104) for shipment, the method comprising: providing a shipping container (110) generally sized to accommodate the one or more unpackaged products (104), the shipping container (110) having a plurality of walls (114, 116, 118, 120) and a bottom (122) that define an interior of the shipping container (110), each of the plurality of walls (114, 116, 118, 120) having an edge (124, 126,128, 130) that cooperate to define an open side of the shipping container (110), inserting the one or more unpackaged products (104) into the shipping container (110) and attaching the shipping container (110) to the packaged product (102) such that the packaged product (102) closes or covers the open side of the shipping container (110). The invention further relates to a shipping container (110) and to a method for creating customized packaging for a plurality of items on-demand.
