A system for securing containers together includes posts, legs or support features that protrude from a panel of a first container and that fit into matched apertures on an adjacent panel of a second container. The posts, legs or support features are secured within or through the matched apertures or within matched apertures on interlock blocks that are on or attached to the adjacnet panel of a second container through braces, brackets, clamps and pins (magnet or spring loaded) that engage the posts, legs or support features.

A container has a top and a bottom endcap, a bottle sandwiched therebetween, and one or more bands coupling the top and bottom endcaps and the bottle. The bottle receives therein a flexible bladder. At least one of the top and bottom endcaps has a pair of opposing parallel surfaces, one of which has a protrusion extending therefrom and the other one of which has a recess therein at a location corresponding to that of the protrusion. A valving structure demountably engages with a neck portion of the bottle and has (i) a coupling valve assembly having two channels in fluid communication with the bottle and the bladder for injecting gas thereinto and dispensing liquid therefrom, respectively, and (ii) a twist-lock casing receiving therein the coupling valve assembly and removably coupled to the bottle’s neck portion. The twist-lock casing has a structure for safely depressurizing the bottle.

A container assembly configured for loading into/onto a Unit Load Device (ULD) generally includes a first container, second container, and a base support member having a wedge abutment assembly. Rearward sides of the first and second containers include a securing catchment assembly for drawing, mating, and securing the rearward sides of the first and second containers to one another. Frontward sides of the first and second containers each include a plurality of female/male fastening assemblies that complementarily mate and draw the frontward sides of the first and second containers toward one another. During loading, an inwardly angled surface of the wedge abutment member causes the second container to be directed toward the first container.

A container and integrated connector system includes a first container and an integrated connector. The first container includes a first body having a hollow first interior and a laterally projecting first shoulder disposed on an upper portion of the first body. The first container also includes a first neck, which is disposed on the first shoulder of the first body. The integrated connector is integrally connected to the first body. The integrated connector includes a connector member and a ring structure. The connector member projects laterally from the first body. The ring structure is disposed on a distal end portion of the connector member. The ring structure includes a connector opening, which is configured to fit over a second neck of a second container. The ring structure is operable to be removably secured to the second container when the connector opening is fit over the second neck.

A container that is adapted for use to contain multiple liquids. In an exemplary embodiment, a container may comprise at least a first container portion and a second container portion. Each container portion is adapted to contain a respective portion of liquid, wherein the liquid in each portion may be the same or a different liquid. In an exemplary embodiment, the first container portion and the second container portion are adapted to be connected together to form a unitary assembly. An exemplary embodiment may also allow for the first container portion to be separated from the second container portion to facilitate independent use of each portion.

A reclosable lid for a container includes a base and a cover assembly connected relative to each other by a hinge and movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the closed configuration, an access opening of the base is at least partially overlain by an access opening of the cover assembly. The cover assembly includes a cover that is moveable about a hinge from a closed position—blocking the access opening of the cover assembly—and an open position—exposing the access opening of the cover assembly. A tamper-evident feature in the form of one or more frangible connections between the cover and the remainder of the cover assembly are broken upon initial movement of the cover from the closed position to the open position.

A high-density storage system for goods is described in which totes carrying the goods are stored in a storage structure and stored and retrieved via stationary or mobile conveyers running along opposite ends of each layer of the storage structure. The totes may be moved to or from the conveyers as the rows move at a constant velocity toward or away from the conveyers. Totes at the ends of rows are quickly moved and stored in another row until the desired tote appears at the end of the row, at which point the desired tote is carried to an exit point of the storage structure by one of the conveyers.

A method of allocating radio resources for uplink transmissions in a wireless telecommunications system, the method including: a first terminal device communicating a request for an allocation of radio resources to a base station; the base station determining there is an association between the first terminal device and a second terminal device based on their having similar predicted traffic profiles for uplink data; and the base station establishing a radio resource allocation for the second terminal device based on the resources requested by the first terminal device, and consequently transmitting radio resource allocation messages to allocate radio resources to the first and the second terminal devices for respective uplink transmissions based on the request for an allocation of radio resources received from the first terminal device.

A system for holding items includes a base tier including two or more totes and one or more higher tiers stacked on the base tier. Each of the higher tiers includes one or more totes stacked on a tote of a lower tier. Totes in of the tiers are laterally cross coupled to one another. The totes include lateral openings that allow removal of items through the lateral opening while the totes are stacked in place.

Methods and apparatus for removably or irremovably interconnectable building block containers such as those capable of initially storing consumable items such as food and drink. After consumption of the food or drink, the cavity containing same may be cleaned and/or refilled with consumable or non-consumable items. The building block containers are utilized as building block toys and may be manufactured or otherwise designed to be collectable. In one aspect, the container connectors are nearly identical such that any one connector may mate with any other connector. In another aspect, the connectors are nearly identical but the orientations of each connector vary to allow mating to occur when the connectors are properly oriented. In another aspect, the container is a cube juice box with connectors on all four corners of all six sides of the container. A frame for holding a juice container may also be utilized.
