The present invention discloses an intermediate bulk container and a valve opening/closing device therefor. The container comprises a base, side plates, and a valve installed at the bottom of the container. The valve opening/closing device comprises a handle, a motion-transferring device, a valve opening/closing mechanism and a clutch device. The handle is installed on the side plate and is connected to the motion-transferring device. The motion-transferring device is used to transfer the actions acting on the handle to the valve opening/closing mechanism so as to achieve opening/closing of the valve. The clutch device is used to engage the motion-transferring device with the valve opening/closing mechanism or disengage the motion-transferring device from the valve opening/closing mechanism. According to the valve opening/closing device of the present invention, the operating handle is provided at appropriate position of the side plate of the container, thereby avoiding actions such as bending over or squatting on the ground while opening/closing the valve, thus it is convenient for use and can prevent the valve from being opened by mistake.

A sump base dispensing system for dispensing a flowable material includes a bulk bin container having a bottom wall and a plurality of upstanding side walls foldably joined to the bottom wall to form an interior space. One of the plurality of the side walls includes a dispensing opening. A cassette is configured to be disposed into the interior space bulk bin container and is positioned within the bottom wall of the bulk bin container. The cassette includes a product bag having a respective inlet and outlet ports used for respective filling and dispensing the flowable material from the product bag. A sump base dispensing apparatus is configured to be attached to the product bag via a dispensing fitment so as to assist in removing the flowable material residual through the dispensing fitment by gravity force.

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.

A bulk material shipping container including a pallet, a compartment mounted on the pallet, a material unloading assembly, and a material loading assembly.

A collapsible bulk material container apparatus, kit and method of assembly employ a forming member having a plurality of interconnected sidewalls, a locking mechanism that fixedly orients the sidewalls continuously about an internal bulk material receiving cavity, and a tubular open-ended woven fabric sleeve that supportively overlies the sidewalls. A connector system rapidly engageable during container assembly, fixedly secures the support sleeve of an unloaded container against subsequent upward movement along the sidewalls. Strategically located friction reducing surfaces of the forming member facilitates sliding assembly of the sleeve over the forming member sidewalls.

A collapsible bulk material container with a unique outer support sleeve and method of manufacture thereof are disclosed. The initial inner circumference of an oversized continuous woven tubular support sleeve is adjustably sized to mattingly match the outer peripheral circumference of a bulk material container forming member which it is designed to support. One or more adjustment tails are formed from the continuous sleeve material to accurately reduce the initial inner sleeve circumference to an adjusted inner circumference. The sizing operation can be performed during initial manufacture of the sleeve or prior to assembly of the sleeve to the forming member.

A lid hanging structure of a container is disclosed in the present invention. The container includes a base, side plates and a lid. the hanging structure includes hanging members and hanging slots, wherein the hanging members are engaged or disengaged with the hanging slots respectively so as to hang the lid on the container or remove the lid from the container, and one of the anging members and the hanging slot is provided on the lid and the other is provided on the side plates. According to the lid hanging structure, it is convenient to remove the lid from the container when necessary. That is to say that, the lid can be removed directly when not in use or in the hanging state, and can be removed by simple operation in the hanging state, so as to reduce the amount of labor, and the structure is simple and the cost is low.

The present invention discloses an intermediate bulk container (IBC) and a valve opening/closing device therefor. The container comprises a base, side plates, and a valve installed at the bottom of the container. The valve opening/closing device comprises a handle, a motion-transferring device and a valve opening/closing mechanism. The handle is installed at the side plate and is connected with the motion-transferring device. The motion-transferring device is at least partially located in the cavity between two sidewalls of the side plate of the container or at least partially located in the groove provided on the side plate, and is used to transfer the actions acting on the handle to the valve opening/closing mechanism to open/close the valve. According to the valve opening/closing device of the present invention, the operating handle is provided at an appropriate position of the side plate of the container, and the motion-transferring device is located between two sidewalls of the side plate or located in the groove provided on the side plate, thereby avoiding bending over or squatting on the ground while opening/closing. Further, the overall volume ratio will not be affected, and the folding level will not be increased when the folding the intermediate bulk container.

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.
