The present invention relates to a storage container comprising a container body (18), a lid (16) placed on the container body, and an actuation apparatus configured to actuate the lid (16) to move between a closed position where the container is in the closed state and a release position where the container is in the ready to open state. One or more body cam surfaces (1852) are arranged on an outer surface of a side wall of the container body (18), and one or more lid cam surfaces (1642) are arranged on an inner surface of a neck portion of the lid in such a manner that the body cam surfaces (1852) are configured to oppose the corresponding lid cam surfaces (1642). The lid (16) is locked in the closed position by moving the lid in a first direction so as to bring the lid cam surfaces (1642) to abut on and engage with the body cam surfaces (1852), and the lid is moved to the release position by moving the lid in a second direction so as to disengage the lid cam surfaces (1642) from the body cam surfaces (1852). The mechanism for opening and closing the storage container is easy to manufacture, and simple and effortless to operate.

The present invention relates to a container with multiple compartments arranged in a linear pattern between four container walls. A lid may be configured at a container top. The lid may be closed to conceal all the compartments. The lid may be opened to expose the compartments. The lid may be partially opened to expose some of the compartments and conceal some of the compartments. The lid may slide along the container top parallel to a container bottom. The container may have a ball detent wherein a spring biases a ball towards the container top whereby a protruding ball portion of the ball is received by a ball detent receiver configured in a lid bottom. As the lid slides along the container top, the protruding ball portion may enter divots of the ball detent receiver, thereby stopping the lid at multiple partially closed positions.

A dispensing system (e.g., in a warehouse or other item-fulfillment environment) can include a tray holder sized for releasably receiving a tray. A rotational actuator may operate to pivot the tray holder between a first position aligned for receipt in the tray holder of a tray in a recumbent orientation and a second position in which the tray is arranged in an upended orientation. When the tray is in the upended orientation, an opening system may engage a door on an end of the tray to move the door from a closed state in which items contained in the tray are prevented from falling out of the tray and to an open state in which the items are allowed to fall out of the tray.

A locking assembly for releasably-locking a lid to a container so that the lid covers an opening of the container, the locking assembly including: shaped portions disposed on the lid and container that are configured to allow slidable engagement of the lid relative to the container along a movement axis between a first configuration in which the lid covers the opening in to a second configuration in which the lid does not cover the opening; a locking nub disposed on a wall of the container; a nub receiving portion disposed on the lid; and wherein when the lid and container are slidably engaged together in the first configuration, the locking nub disposed on the container is received within the nub receiving portion disposed on the lid so as to restrict sliding movement of the lid relative to the container along the movement axis from the first configuration in to the second configuration, and, wherein the wall of the container is inwardly depressible so as to move the locking nub outwardly of the nub receiving portion whereby the lid is then able to be slidably moved relative to the container along the movement axis from the first configuration in to the second configuration.
