A pet food container apparatus may include a container body that may define an interior space for storing the pet food, a lid that may be pivotally attached to the container body at a lid hinge, an opening defined in the container body that may be configured for accessing the interior space of the container body, and a lid rim that may protrude upwardly from the container body and may surround the opening. The apparatus may include a gasket disposed on the lid opposite the lid rim. The apparatus may include a fastener. The fastener may include a latch disposed on the lid. The fastener may include a latch base disposed on the container body and may be aligned with the latch. The lid rim may engage the gasket in a continuous ring-shaped seal when the latch engages the latch base and the lid is in a closed position.

A container may include a generally hollow body configured for holding a liquid and including a spout. A spout cap may be configured for removable engagement with the spout. The spout cap may include an inner boss and an outer boss in fluid communication with the inner boss. The inner boss may include an annular skirt disposed within an interior space of the spout cap. The outer boss may be configured to receive a connector of a hose assembly. A filter may have a connecting portion configured for removable insertion into the inner boss. The filter and the spout cap may form a fluid flow path from the body through the spout. Related filters, hose assemblies, and kits are also described.

An insulating container may include an opening, which can be sealed by a closure. The closure may have an upper portion with a handle that has a circular curvature equal to the cylindrical portion of the closure. The closure may also have a lower portion that is joined to the upper portion by an injection molded polymer element. The closure may also be in the form of flip type of closure such that the lid can be selectably opened or closed by the user by rotating a flip closure into either the opened or closed position. The closure may also be a two-part lid having a lower cap that may be configured to be removably-coupled to the container and an upper cap that may be configured to be removably-coupled to the lower cap.

The present invention provides a safety container for storing and dispensing hazardous liquids, such as fuel, featuring a teardrop-shaped spout and various lid-lock mechanisms. The teardrop-shaped spout is ergonomically designed to provide controlled and precise pouring, reducing spills and enhancing safety. The safety container may include one of multiple innovative lid-lock mechanisms to maintain the lid in an open position during pouring. These lid-lock mechanisms may include: (1) a pin-lock mechanism with a slide linkage piece, angled rotating pin piece, and locking hole; (2) a bi-stable lid-lock mechanism utilizing an internal spring in the handle for automatic lid positioning; and (3) bi-stable springboard lid-lock mechanisms using either flexible curved portions or a springboard platform with springs for biasing. Each lid-lock mechanism ensures the lid remains securely open during use and closed when not in use, providing reliable and safe handling of hazardous liquids.

A portable fluid tank system can include a mounting assembly for secure and adaptable attachment to external docking assemblies. The portable fluid tank system can include a fluid tank with an internal volume for fluid storage and a fluid actuation system for controlled fluid movement and pressurization. An electronics housing within the portable fluid tank system can accommodate a removable energy storage device, providing power to the actuation system. The mounting assembly can include a first engagement member on the fluid tank, configured to mechanically engage with a complementary second engagement member on an external docking assembly. This engagement facilitates the secure attachment of the portable fluid tank system to the docking assembly. The mounting assembly can include a mounting frame, contoured to match the exterior geometry of the fluid tank and extend around its periphery.
