Collapsible household containers having a foldable wall section with shape-retaining characteristics are disclosed. In particular, collapsible laundry baskets, buckets, colanders, dish drainers, and cups are provided. The folding region may include foldable tiers of a flexible material, each tier having at least one stable, relatively expanded position and at least one stable, relatively collapsed position; and an intervening, non-folding tier composed of a different, relatively rigid material.

The present invention is directed to a portable container for a beverage, such as beer, from a Sixth barrel or Cornelius keg. The portable container is specifically designed for storing, cooling, transporting and dispensing a beverage, such as beer. The portable container has a self-contained container of CO.sub.2, a regulator, and a tap for the keg.

Embodiments relate to a multi-purpose insulated container. The container is comprised of a plurality of walls forming an enclosure. A lid is in communication with the body and is operable so as to enclosure the container. A first wall is oppositely disposed from a second wall and the height of the first wall is greater than the height of the second wall. A base is provided and a third wall extends from the base to the second wall; the third wall having a gradient with respect to the base due to the height differential between the first wall and the second wall. A first wheel is positioned adjacent to the first side wall and a second wheel is positioned adjacent to the second side wall; the two wheels sharing an axis of rotation.

A case comprises a case body, a case cover, and a snap-fitting assembly comprising a snap-fitting member and a connecting member for fastening the case cover and the case body. The connecting member comprises a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end of the connecting member is rotatably connected to one of the case body and the case cover. The other one of the case body and the case cover is provided with a snapping block. The second end of the connecting member is rotatably connected to the snap-fitting member. The snap-fitting member comprises a snapping part configured to be snapped with the snapping block.

An insulating container includes a plurality of walls defining an outer body member, a base member that supports the outer body member, a liner disposed within and spaced apart from the plurality of walls, and an internal cavity. A lid is releasably and pivotally coupled to the outer body member or a liner therein to move between an open position and a closed position. The lid is pivotable in both a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction to move between closed positions and open positions. The insulating container further includes a latching assembly that releasably secures the lid to the outer body member. The latching assembly includes an upper latch member fixedly coupled to the lid, a lower latch member pivotable between a pivoting position and a release position.

An insulating container includes a plurality of walls defining an outer body member, an outer body ring disposed about the outer body member, a base member that supports the outer body member, a liner disposed within and spaced apart from the plurality of walls, an internal cavity defined by the inner liner, a soft-shelled lid releasably and pivotably coupled to the outer body member to move between an open position in which the internal cavity of the insulating container is accessible and a closed position in which a seal is formed between the soft-shelled lid and the outer body member, a lid ring disposed about the soft-shelled lid, a latching member that secures the lid ring to the outer body ring, wherein the lid may be pivoted from either of two sides or released from the outer body ring.

A mobile cooling box has a box main body and at least one lid for opening the mobile cooling box and providing access to the inside of the mobile cooling box. The mobile cooling box further has at least one handle module located at an outer side surface of the box main body. The handle module comprises a handlebar intended to be grasped by the user, the handle module having a longitudinal axis and two ends, hangers to which the handlebar is attached at its two ends, and brackets at which the hangers are rotatably mounted. The hangers are fixed to the outer side surface of the box main body. The handlebar of the handle module can be swung out and upwards from an unactuated state to an actuated state for carrying the mobile cooling box by the handlebar. Each of the brackets comprises a mounting area and a shielding area. The mounting area faces the outer side surface of the box main body to which the bracket is fixed. The shielding area hides the bangers and the handlebar in the unactuated state of the handle module and in a lateral perspective along the longitudinal axis of the handlebar.

A bin system is described for use on emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, fire trucks, etc. is described. The bin system includes a bin that securely mounts to brackets on a wall of the vehicle. The bin is formed using tie rods, which also engage the brackets. A handle of the bin further engages to the brackets to securely hold the bin to the brackets.
