The container has a lid structure comprising two lid panels. The first lid panel forms at least a part of the top wall. The second lid panel forms at least part of one of the side walls. When the container is in the erected condition the lid structure can have one of, and be moved between, a closed configuration; top load configuration; and, front load configuration. The front load configuration has two variants. In a first front load configuration the first and second lid panels remain connected to each other and are moved so that they are in a substantial face to face relationship. In the second front load configuration the second lid panel is pivoted to lie on top of the first lid panel.

A liner (10) includes a liner base (11) and a cradle (12) which is used in conjunction with a conventional intermediate bulk container (13). The liner base has a bottom wall (15), a top wall (16) opposite the bottom wall, and four side walls (17) extending between the bottom wall and top wall. The four side walls include a front wall (18), a rear wall (19), and two oppositely disposed end walls (20). The top wall includes a top opening fitment (22). The front wall includes a dispensing opening fitment (23). The liner lifting cradle includes a bottom panel (26), two oppositely disposed end panels (27), and a rear panel (28). The end panels have an elongated terminal end (30) which includes a reinforced mounting hole (32). The rear panel has an elongated terminal end (34) which includes a grommet (35) defining a reinforced mounting hole (36).

A valve assembly has a stationary valve body and a valve member that is movable relative to the valve body at least from a closed position, in which the valve member cooperates with a valve seat to completely obstruct a fluid path formed through the valve body, to an open position, which allows fluid to flow through the fluid path. The valve member has a disc- or ball-shaped rigid component that is overmolded with a flexible component and at least partially encompasses the rigid component in a circumferential direction to form a ring gasket section.

The invention discloses a container, comprising a base and a side panel, the base or the side panel is provided with a discharging port, the discharging port is provided with a covering door, and the covering door is connected to the base or the side panel through a connecting device, wherein the connection device includes a transmission member and an elastic member. During the opening or closing process of the covering door, the transmission member can be driven to move outwardly, so that the elastic member is compressed. When the covering door is completely opened or closed, the elastic member springs back and drives the transmission member to move inwardly, the covering door automatically keeps open or closed. The overall structure of the invention is novel and reliable, and the operation is simple, and it is not necessary to confirm whether the covering door is attracted in place during the opening or closing process of the covering door, which can effectively avoid human operation errors.

An example fluid container includes a main body and a support leg. The main body has a bottom wall and a sidewall that extends from the bottom wall. The bottom wall has a bottom wall first internal surface and the sidewall has a sidewall first portion, a sidewall second portion, and defines a passageway. The bottom wall first internal surface extends from the sidewall second portion toward the passageway at a downward slope. The support leg extends from the main body and is sized and configured to support the fluid container.

The present invention concerns a foldable modular packaging (1), characterised in that it comprises: at least four panels (10) that can be moved between a folded position, in which the panels (10) are stacked on each other, and an unfolded position, in which the panels (10) form a parallelepiped frame (11) defining an internal volume (12); a flexible inner container (20) suitable for being arranged in said internal volume (12); and an assembly system (30) comprising linking elements (31) forming a pivot link between each panel (10) and at least one adjacent panel (10).

A container, preferably a pallet container with a liner bag, includes a base, at least one side wall, and an exchangeable valve assembly that can be mounted in an insertion direction into a valve socket in the container. The container includes at least one locking element for locking engagement of a locking structure of the valve assembly and which is movably mounted in or on the container and can be moved between an open position, in which the valve assembly can be inserted into or removed from the valve socket, and a closed position, in which the locking element engages the locking structure of the valve assembly to secure it inside of the valve socket.

A container for transporting and storing liquid, viscous or pourable substances, in particular a container of the Intermediate Bulk Container type, includes a base, a side wall and at least one outlet recess in the base and/or the side wall, in which an outlet valve is or can be arranged and which is closable on the outside of the container by a cover. The cover has a base section, by which the cover is fastened or fastenable to the container, and a closure section that is hinged on the base section via a hinge assembly such that it can pivot about a rotational axis. The hinge assembly is designed to hold or lock the closure section in a self-supporting manner in a position releasing the outlet recess.

A fluid management device is disclosed. The fluid management device includes a fluid collection member that extends the entire length and width of a bulk storage container. The fluid collection member has a generally concave surface which directs fluid to a drain opening that is aligned with an opening in the storage container. A bulk storage container having a fluid management device is also disclosed.

A container system for shipping product in bulk, having a corrugated container sleeve and a pallet for supporting the sleeve thereon, the pallet having a channel configured to receive therein a bottom edge of the sleeve, and the pallet with said sleeve defining an internal section of the container system in which the bulk product is contained.
