The invention disclosed is an intermediate-volume, dimensionally scalable container having a large transmural aperture providing easy access to contents and a resealable lid providing quick and repeated access to the contents. In one embodiment the invention provides a clear visible indication as to the locked or unlocked state of the lid and is adapted to readily incorporate different forms of tamper proof and tamper evident seals. The invention includes an assembly of similar containers of the same or different volumes having recessed bottom portions to receive the upper portion and lid of a vertically adjacent container when stacked and at least two opposing sides having complementary surface deformations to facilitate side-to-side mating of such containers when shipped, displayed for sale or stored.

A separable multi-dispenser assembly is provided. The dispenser assembly may include a geometric shape that may be divided and separated into two or more secondary geometric shapes, with each secondary shape including a separate dispenser unit each with an inner volume and a dispenser head. The multi-dispenser assembly may be formed as a rectangular prism that when separated provides two right-angled triangular prism shaped secondary dispenser units.

A recyclable, thermally insulated shipping container is entirely constructed from organic fiber materials in such a manner that the container is curbside recyclable without separation of component materials. The container includes a corrugated cardboard outer box having a bottom wall, a plurality of sidewalls and a top wall, a corrugated cardboard inner liner assembly comprising a corrugated cardboard inner box having a bottom wall and a plurality of sidewalls, and a corrugated cardboard lid assembly. The outer box, inner liner assembly and lid assembly cooperate to create a plurality of thermally insulated cavities which are filled and uniformly packed with predetermined volumes of loose-fill cellulose (organic fiber) insulation to create a predetermined insulating value. The container provides a fully insulated six-sided product cavity to receive a temperature-controlled product. A portion of the product cavity may be filled with a PCM or other thermal media to provide a consistent temperature profile.

A closure enclosing and protecting at least one line splice holder. The closure includes a first housing portion enclosing at least a portion of a hollow interior of the closure, the at least one line splice holder being located within the hollow interior. The first housing portion has a portal through which plural lines extend into the hollow interior. The closure includes a second housing portion actuatable with respect to the first housing portion to provide an additional portion of the hollow interior. The additional portion of the hollow interior is a volume to receive additional of the at least one line splice holder. The closure includes a coupling for connecting the second housing portion to the first housing portion.

A storage device (organizer) with a unique flat top lifting handle and having separate storage regions designed to accommodate common sandwich ingredients. Having a flat surface lifting handle enables other items to be placed on that surface thus saving space. The preferred embodiment of the invention has a middle compartment to hold bottles with an end compartment on either end—the walls of which also provide support for the bottles. One of the end compartments has a lid to ensure proper humidified environment to keep greens fresh and the other can accommodate a knife and a tray for extra storage. The middle compartment also has a single removable socket to fit two pump bottles for condiments. The device is intended for everyday use in a refrigerator and for easy transfer to a cooler. However, being a storage device, its use is not limited to food products or inside a refrigerator and maybe used outside the refrigerator as well wherever space saving is desired.

A method of packing a temperature sensitive product utilizes a temperature controlled product shipper that includes a phase change material bladder which can be filled with a preconditioned brined-slurry PCM at the point of packaging. The temperature sensitive product is contained within a product box or master case, which is in turn packed inside an insulated liner and an outer box. The PCM bladder fits between the master case and the insulated liner and is filled with the preconditioned flowable PCM at the point of packing just before closing the box for shipment.

A container having a center portion and two side portions each situated at an angle to the center portion and extending in opposite directions such that the a left half of the container is substantially identical to a right half of the container. The container includes recesses and protrusions which enable the container to stack in two orientations generally perpendicular to each other.

The present application relates to a new vessel, such as a bottle that may be used to hold, store, or transport matter, such as particulates or fluids, and vessel assembly system. The vessel is constructed of a unique nesting design. Multiple vessels may be stacked together and to form a cohesive interrelated structure.

A packing device for a printer is provided. The packing device includes: a first packing portion that has a mating portion; and a second packing portion that has a mating receptacle portion configured to mate with the mating portion by inserting at least a part of the mating portion into the mating receptacle portion; wherein at least one of the mating portion and the mating receptacle portion has a sloped surface that is inclined with respect to a first axis extending in a direction in which the mating portion and the mating receptacle portion mate.
