Anti-opening container
An anti-opening container includes a first box and a second box. The first box includes a first body, a first box section and a first gripping section. The first box section is formed by the extension of the first body. The second box includes a second body, a second box section, a second gripping section, an extension section, and a fastener section. The second box section is formed by the extension of the second body. The fastener section is connected to the extension section via a perforated line. The fastener section is embedded in the first box section. When the first gripping section and the second gripping section are displaced in opposite directions, the perforated line breaks, and the first box section and the fastener section are separated from the second box section together to separate the first box and the second box.
DIVISIBLE CONTAINER
A divisible container includes first and second halves forming a capsule with a hollow interior for retaining an object. The halves may also include first and second confectionary coatings formed to the exterior for consumption by a user. The halves include spaced projections at the exterior separating the confectionary halves allowing a user to see that a non-edible component is beneath. In an embodiment, upon removal of the confectionary, projections disposed opposite the joint allow a user to separate the joint by biasing the projections away from the joint, disengaging the connection between the halves. In an embodiment, a projection extending from the first half forms a gap, and a projection extending from the second half forms a lower extension that is received within the gap when the halves are joined adding strength to the connection, and limiting rotational movement of the halves and damage to the confectionary coatings.
Elastomeric container with integrated leak resistant seal and pressure shield
A container is made of an elastomer such as silicone with a leak resistant seal and pressure shield. The seal includes the elastomer and is configured to open and close the elastomeric container. The seal includes bottom and top press-fit elements, a bottom pressure shield is disposed between the bottom press-fit element and an inner volume of the container, and a top pressure shield is disposed between the top press-fit element and the inner volume. Top and bottom enclosures of the container define a center horizontal plane where the top and bottom enclosures meet. In cross section, a thickness of the top pressure shield continuously increases along an entire top pressure shield inner surface, and, in cross section, a thickness of the bottom pressure shield continuously decreases along an entire bottom pressure shield inner surface beneath the center horizontal plane.
Rehydration device
A rehydration device configured to be placed in a storage box is described. The rehydration device includes a first part and a second part. The first part and the second part may be connected via a hinge at a first portion about which the first part and the second part rotate. The first part and the second part may hold a piece of woven hemp fabric. The piece of woven hemp fabric may be configured to maintain a predetermined humidity level in the storage device. The rehydration device further includes a locking mechanism located along a periphery of the first part and the second part, to removably couple the first part and the second part in a closed position. The rehydration device further includes one or more openings to allow water vapors from the hemp fabric to flow out of the rehydration device.
ELASTOMERIC CONTAINER WITH INTEGRATED LEAK RESISTANT SEAL AND PRESSURE SHIELD
An elastomeric container includes a top wall and a bottom wall that surround an inner volume and that define a plane therebetween. An axis extends through the plane between the top wall and the bottom wall. A seal includes a bottom press-fit element and a top press-fit element. A bottom pressure shield is disposed between the bottom press-fit element and the inner volume. A top pressure shield is disposed between the top press-fit element and the inner volume. In cross section, a thickness of the top pressure shield continuously increases along an entire top pressure shield inner surface in a direction parallel to the axis and away from the top wall, and, in cross section, a thickness of the bottom pressure shield continuously decreases along at least a portion of an entire bottom pressure shield inner surface in the direction parallel to the axis and toward the bottom wall.
REHYDRATION DEVICE
A rehydration device configured to be placed in a storage box is described. The rehydration device includes a top part and a bottom part. The top part may include a top body portion and a top part edge, and the bottom part may include a bottom body portion and a bottom part edge. The top part and the bottom part may removably couple with each other. The top part edge and the bottom part edge may face each other when the top part and the bottom part are coupled with each other. The rehydration device may further include a woven hemp fabric configured to be enclosed within the top part and the bottom part when the top part and the bottom part are coupled with each other. The woven hemp fabric may release water vapors to maintain a predefined humidity level in the storage box.
TWO PART STORAGE CONTAINER WITH AN ASSEMBLED CONFIGURATION AND A SPLIT CONFIGURATION
The present invention relates to a two part storage container (10) for storing a product item (80) in an automated storage and retrieval system (1). The storage container (10), in an assembled configuration, comprises a base panel (11) and four side panels (12) extending from the base panel (11). The base panel (11) and the four side panels (12) define a storage space. The storage container (10) has a top opening (13) to provide access to the storage space. The two parts of the storage container (10) comprise an upper container section (20) comprising at least two of the side panels (12a) and a lower container section (30) comprising at least the base panel (11). The upper container section (20) and the lower container section (30) are configured to allow vertical movement of the upper container section (20) relative to the lower container section (30). The storage container (10) is in a split configuration when the upper container section (20) is moved vertically relative to the lower container section (30).
Fluid collection canister for use with sub-atmospheric pressure pump
A fluid separation and collection canister operable in-line between a sub-atmospheric pump and a source of mixed fluid-gas flow. In one application, the present invention finds particular use in a healthcare environment to assist in the removal of fluids from a patient with internal or external injuries. The enclosed collection canister is made up of two case half shells separable at mid-line overlapping joint. The upper case half shell incorporates a suction port with a sub-micron gas filter, a pass-through port, and an upper fluid extraction port. The lower case half shell incorporates an inlet port with a one-way fluid valve, a lower pass-through port, and a lower fluid extraction port. The pass-through ports are used to carry a pressure monitoring lumen to the source of the mixed fluid-gas flow.
CONTAINER HAVING SEPARATION MECHANISM
A container system includes an upper housing including a first volume, a lower housing including a second volume, a cap attached to one of the upper housing and the lower housing and including a dispensing mechanism that is configured to dispense a product and a separation mechanism. The separation mechanism includes a seal member attaching the upper housing to the lower housing. The first volume and the second volume together form at least part of an internal cavity based on the attachment of the upper housing to the lower housing by the seal member. The separation mechanism includes a release mechanism that is configured to release the seal member from the upper housing and the lower housing. The release of the seal member is configured to allow a separation of the upper housing from the lower housing by the user to access the first volume and the second volume.
