A container features a pair of stacking features on its top and bottom walls enabling a plurality of such containers to be disposed in a vertically stacked configuration. One of these stacking features is a protrusion with a tip spaced from an outer surface of the respective wall and opposite sides depending from the tip on either side thereof towards the wall's outer surface, and the other one is a groove with a base recessed from an outer surface of the respective wall and opposite sides of the groove extending from the base on either side thereof towards the wall's outer surface. The groove of one such container is thus arranged to matingly receive the protrusion of another such container so that the two containers are interconnectable in the vertically stacked configuration.

An improved drinking can enables a user to have fluid return into the can after drinking The improved drinking can comprises a can body comprising a contoured bottom edge immediately adjacent to a bottom recess. The can body further comprising a can top mechanically coupled to a spout. Where the spout is shaped to funnel fluid back into the can body. The bottom recess is shaped to enable a first improved drinking can to sit upon a second improved drinking can where bottom recess covers can top. This protects the drinking area from becoming contaminated during shipment, storage, and display. The can body is covered with a mural where the mural is covered by a mural cover comprising a tab such that the mural cover can be removed by applying force to the tab displaying the mural.

A machine for forming and sealing a top of a container is provided. The machine includes a conveyor configured to transport the container through the machine, a forming section including at least one bullet arm configured to fold a trailing centering tab of the container, and a compression section downstream from the forming section and including a compression device configured to fold a leading centering tab of the container.

A storage device for headwear that includes an elongated container with side surfaces, top and bottom surfaces and a back surface that also features a drawer that can be slid in and out of the container through an opening at one end of the container. The opening is covered by a door featuring a magnet whose polarity is opposite that of another magnet embedded in the bottom surface of the container. The devices can be stacked one on top of another and magnets in the door of one device and the bottom surface of another device hold the door of one of the devices open. The container features one or more stops that contact the walls of the drawer to prevent it from being pulled out of the container. A horizontal flange limits the vertical movement of the drawer and cooperates with the stops to hold the drawer in place.

A container assembly includes at least one container that can be stacked, which has a base unit having a main accommodating body and having a carrying handle and which also has two auxiliary accommodating bodies, which sit on the main accommodating body and cover a main accommodating chamber formed therein in a basic position. Each auxiliary accommodating body has an auxiliary accommodating chamber that can be closed by means of a pivotable closing cover. The auxiliary accommodating bodies can be moved into an access position, in which the auxiliary accommodating bodies make the main accommodating chamber accessible. In addition, couplers are arranged on the base unit wherein the couplers enable vertical coupling of a plurality of stacked containers.

A toolbox is disclosed, comprising a case having two shells, wherein one of the two shells is formed with several strips which are crossed at right angles, and several containers put in the case and formed with several notches at a bottom edge of a body of the container to engage with the strips of the shell for positioning the container. Therefore, the containers can be put at any position in the toolbox by corresponding the strips which are crossed at right angles at the shell to the notches at the container's bottom, increasing the convenience of the positioning of the containers. Besides, when the containers are stacked with each other, the notches at the outer bottom of the body of the upper container is engaged with pegs on the lid of the lower container for positioning, thereby increasing the stability in the stacked condition.

Disclosed is a polygonal shaped container 101. The polygonal shaped container 101 may comprise a top surface 105 a bottom surface 205 and a plurality of side walls 206. Each edge (201, 203) connecting two side walls of the polygonal shaped container 101 may be filled with additional reinforcement material. The additional reinforcement material along with the polygonal shape of the polygonal-shaped container 101 may facilitate in enhancing compressive strength of the polygonal-shaped container 101. One of the side walls 206 may further comprise a discharge valve 202 fixed entirely within a cavity 204 formed on a lower surface of said one of the side walls 206 such that lowest level of a fluid, contained in the polygonal-shaped container 101, may be discharged from the discharge valve 202. The polygonal-shaped container 101 may be capable of being rolled for portability.

A device for storing, transporting and/or handling a liquid or liquids and methods for using the device are described. The device is suitable for use with sterile or aseptic liquids, particularly with large liquid volumes such as 10-1000 liters or more, and avoids the need for bags, bins and carriers commonly used for storing and transporting large volumes of liquids. The device comprises a coiled tubing. The coiled tubing can be loaded onto a spool to support the coiled tubing. The tubing can be filled, sealed, stored and transported in a more robust manner than previously achieved with bags, bins and carriers.

A container for use in a gravity-fed dispenser, particularly for construction adhesives, includes a top surface with an outlet port, a bottom surface with a venting port and side walls, said side walls including two opposed indentations that provide handle grasps for a user, allowing the user to hold the container in an upside down position while it is attached to a dispenser. The vent on the bottom surface allows the contents to flow evenly through gravity out of the outlet port.

A container for the shipment and display of a product includes a corrugated plastic sleeve that is selectively enclosed by a pair of opposing plastic trays. The sleeve includes four adjacent panels that together define open top and bottom ends. Alignment tabs are formed on the top and bottom ends of the sleeve and fittingly protrude into complementary slots in each tray to help retain container in an assembled condition. Each tray includes a rectangular plate and an outer continuous wall which protrudes from the peripheral edge of the plate at an obtuse angle, which enables multiple trays to be arranged as a nested stack. A plurality of thru-holes is provided in the sleeve for ventilation and is arranged so that select thru-holes in adjacent panels axially align when the sleeve is collapsed into a flattened condition, thereby facilitating the stacking of used sleeves onto posts for subsequent cleaning.
