Collapsible reusable watertight carrying cases are provided in sizes varying from small containers to large sealable container bins on wheels, to provide large quantities of water to remote areas not served by public water supplies, or where water supplies are unavailable because of weather disasters. The cases are assembled or disassembled from a joined flat space-saving configuration to a functioning case and vice-versa. The sides of the cases are erected progressively by hand by interlocking elements at the corners. The panels also disassemble progressively by being manually pulled apart. When folded into a flat storage or shipping configuration, the panels stay together, resisting unfolding by virtue of snaps which are either molded into the panels or bonded to them. The carrying cases are resistant to water, dirt, bacteria, molds, allergens, and inclement weather.

A novel and unique container of a general clamshell configuration with a self-aligning lid is provided. The hinge of the container provides a hinged connection between the lid and the base of the container. The hinge includes pins that extend into corresponding receiving slots on the base that align the lid in the X and Y directions over the open top end of the base as the lid is pivoted closed. With the lid aligned on the base, downward pressure in the Z direction results in better and more reliable frictional engagement of the lid to the base. As a result, the container with self-aligning lid is particularly well-suited for use in automatic machinery for filling and closing such containers.

The present invention discloses a disposable takeout food container, comprising a first sleeve cover, and a second sleeve cover. The first sleeve cover and the second sleeve cover when oriented perpendicular to a tray and engaged with the tray, support the tray at an elevated position, functioning as serving tray stands to form a stable table-tray.

A compartmentalized tray system is an apparatus that stores and divides food so that the taste and integrity of the food within the apparatus is preserved. The apparatus includes a tray, a lid, and a divider plate. The tray, the lid, and the divider plate are hingedly connected to each other about a rotation axis. A first compartment is defined by the tray and the lid. A second compartment is defined by the divider plate and the lid. The first compartment and the second compartment are sealed by a first set of fasteners and a second set of fasteners, respectively. The apparatus further includes a plurality of stationary dividers, which are positioned within the tray. The plurality of stationary dividers further divides the tray so that a plurality of sections may separate different foods within the first compartment.

The present invention is directed to containers for holding non-food items having a living hinge and a quad or multi seal structure on the lid such that the seal created by the contact of the lid with the inside of the cup or container ensures a secure, friction fit orientation to prevent spillage or leakage of the contents therein. The quad or multi directional seal is created by multiple ribs on the lid that securably fit within the base of the container and indentations oriented in the bases, or by multiple ribs on the lid that securably fit within a channel structure in the top of the base of the container, the channel structure having the indentations in order to create a secure fit.

A tamper evident closure includes a first snap, a second snap, a tear strip connected to the second snap, a third snap connected to the tear strip, and a first projection extending around three sides of the first snap. In a closed position, a cavity of the second snap is configured to be placed over the first snap, and the third snap is configured to be placed in a cavity in the first snap. Further, in a closed position, the first projection is configured to surround three sides of the third snap that has been placed in a cavity in the first snap.

A container having a pair of side walls and end walls and corner walls being provided between a respective end wall and side wall, a flange formed on one of the corner walls, said flange functioning as a hinge, a ring member formed integrally with the flange, the ring being sized to sit on top of the container.

An apparatus for dispensing a single container for containing foodstuffs includes a housing, a lift subassembly, and a transfer subassembly. The housing at least partially defines an inner area. The lift subassembly is coupled to the housing and disposed at least partially within the inner area. The lift subassembly includes a nest configured to support a plurality of containers disposed in a stack and translate with respect to the housing in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction. The transfer subassembly is coupled to the housing and disposed at least partially within the inner area. The transfer subassembly includes a end effector. The end effector is configured to operatively engage a first container of the plurality of containers to remove the first container from the stack and move the first container outside of the inner area.

The fastener container in the present invention includes a receptacle base and a lid as main components combined together. Said receptacle base and lid are connected by a hinge. So that, the container utilizes the integrally formed receptacle base and lid, the user does not need to worry about that the lid missing during use, and the container can be made in any size and the structure of the container does not affect the use of the user. Moreover, the special structure of receptacle base and lid of this invention can effectively solve the problem that the screws or items fall from the opening on the side of the container to the outside when the locked container be extruded deformation by external force.

A single piece thermoformed package or container configured to allow a user to visually determine whether the package or container has been tampered with. The container includes a base, a lid, and a hinge. The lid is pivotable relative to the base about the hinge to move the container from an opened position to the closed position. Once in the closed position, it is difficult to remove the lid without disengaging a tamper evident feature. The tamper evident feature may include a perforated section formed in the hinge and one or more pull or push sections. When the tamper evident feature is disengaged using the one or more pull or push sections, the perforation section allows the hinge to be broken such that the entire lid is removed. The container is made of polypropylene and thus can safely be microwaved and includes vents to release pressure.
