A pallet collar which is a casing structure, generally having four walls interconnected to form a rectangular frame, and used for providing a pallet with walls enclosing a loading space thereof, to hold and protect goods placed on the pallet during storage and/or transport.

An insulated multiple fluid container apparatus having multiple separate volumes that each can have a dedicated removably engagable lid allowing fluid consumption from each of the volumes individually, thus allowing hot and cold fluids to be carried simultaneously. Sealing and insulating as between the multiple separate container volumes is structurally accommodated in the design forming a portable and compact multiple fluid container apparatus.

This disclosure provides a configurable pallet or load-bearing platform, such as a pallet, for supporting goods. The load-bearing platform may include one or more plastic bases having two or more protrusions connected by one or more bridge pieces. The two or more protrusions are spaced apart one or more distances. The load-bearing platform further includes a cardboard base having openings spaced apart an amount wherein the openings are configured to receive the two or more protrusions of the plastic base. A load distribution member may be included and configured to contact at least a portion of the plastic base. The load distribution member may support at least a portion of the goods and distributes at least a portion of the weight of the goods to at least a portion of the plastic base. The size of the cardboard base, as well as other components of the load-bearing platform, in certain implementations, may be customized on demand.

A modular bottle (e.g., for holding liquid or dry storage contents) and its various assemblies, components, and structures are provided. The bottle can include a body portion including an open longitudinal end and an interior region, an end cap configured to be secured over the open longitudinal end to enclose the interior region, and a flexible loop. The end cap can include a pair of knobs disposed on a circumferential side surface of the end cap. Each end of the flexible loop can define an aperture that is smaller than a largest diameter of each of the pair of knobs such that each end of the flexible loop is selectively couplable with each of the pair of knobs.

A storage container having a base storage compartment configured to receive a divider by which the storage compartment is divided into two or more sub-compartments, wherein divider comprises one or more engagement features for selectively engaging with the storage container, the storage container further having a retainer lid configured to retain a divider within an engagement surface of the storage container.

An apparatus and method for separation of air from fluids, whereby a contractable partition, a throat seal, and air vents are provided, which allow an inside portion behind the contractable partition to expand into or contract from an outside portion, increasing or decreasing the side of the inside portion to accommodate changing volumes of beverage, thereby preventing the entry of contaminating air and slowing the loss of carbonation of the remaining beverage.

A system, method, and device for shipping, transporting, storing, and managing logistics of a variety of cargo. A crate is disclosed that allows for easy and inexpensive return shipment (reverse logistics) after use through a collapsible, interlocking system of a pallet base, foldable side wall assemblies, and a lid that can be removably connected to one another. The crate can utilize guide protrusions and corresponding guide recesses to fit the components together. The height of the crate can be increased by additional tiers of side walls. Latch assemblies can be utilized to fasten adjacent components together. The crate may include a tracking or monitoring device that can monitor one or more of humidity, temperature, tilt, impact, vibration, and variety of desired conditions. The system may include Bluetooth beacons on each of the components and a Bluetooth sensor in the monitoring device in the pallet base to monitor disassembled components.

A storage box for a refrigerator at an entrance according to an embodiment of the present invention, may comprise: a base; first side walls erected at the top front end and the top rear end of the base, respectively; and second side walls erected at the top left end and the top right end of the base, respectively, wherein the first side wall may include a plurality of first blocks stacked in the vertical direction and arranged in the horizontal direction, and a plurality of connectors movably connecting the adjacent first blocks in the horizontal direction.

A container comprising a substantially cylindrical upper compartment adapted to be detachably connected to a substantially cylindrical lower compartment, wherein the upper compartment includes an open upper portion; a middle portion, wherein the middle portion includes a plurality of ridges encircling the middle portion, and wherein the ridges define a plurality of distinct interstitial regions therebetween each adapted to receive identifying indicia; and a threaded lower portion; and a substantially cylindrical lower compartment adapted to be detachably connected to the substantially cylindrical upper compartment, wherein the lower compartment includes an open threaded upper portion, wherein the threads on the open threaded upper portion of the lower compartment are adapted to mechanically engage the threads on the open threaded lower portion of the upper compartment; and a closed bottom portion. A threaded middle compartment may be included for placement between the upper and lower compartments.

A cup collar includes an extension having a rim at one end and a securing ring at a second end attached to the lip of a cup or other beverage container to allow milk or cream, an additional flavoring, sugar or sweetener, or any other additive to be added to a beverage such as coffee without having to pour out and waste the coffee or other beverage to make room for the additive. The cup collar preferably further includes a skirt having a gasket that engages and locks with a sealing ring on the exterior of the cup proximate the lip of the cup to provide a compression seal between the securing ring and the lip of the cup as well as a seal between the gasket and sealing ring to prevent leakage. The cup collar attachment avoids wasting coffee or other beverage and conserves water.
