Systems and methods for providing compostable food containers that preserve the quality of a food product for an extended duration of time, and which optionally allow for cooking of the food product therein. In some implementations, the food containers are sturdy, stackable, insulating, and require minimal or no manual labor to assemble. In some implementations, the food container includes a base and a cover which cooperate to form a closed chamber for supporting, protecting, insulating and optionally cooking a food product, such as a pizza. The base and cover may each be formed of a single layer of material including, but not limited to, molded sugarcane fiber (“bagasse”), molded wood fiber, molded bamboo fiber, molded paper or plastic.

A stackable container includes a step-shaped edge at upper ends of side walls and, on the outer side of the side walls, a projection resting on the step-shaped edge. Openings at lower edges of the side walls open into a collecting channel which extends along the base and is connected in one piece with the base and which collects small quantities of liquids passing through the openings. The projection covers the collecting channel and, together with the outer wall of the collecting channel and the step-shaped edge of the container located therebeiow, forms a free space, into which larger quantities of liquids can pass and flow into the lower container. Extinguishing water, sprayed over the stack of containers in the event of a fire, can thus pass from the upper container into the lower containers of the stack and extinguish a fire in a lower region of the stack.

A basket for lining an ice chest includes four flexible walls configured to roll up, a bottom, and at least two handles. At least one wall includes perforations configured to allow water or ice to pass through the perforations. The four flexible walls are made of silicone, rubber, elastic, or any combination thereof.

A case includes a first shell to encapsulate a portion of a collectible. The first shell includes a planar first end having a recessed first edge. A wall is attached to the planar first end at the first edge of the planar first end. The wall surrounds the portion of the collectible. A shoe tree includes a foot-shaped portion to be inserted into the collectible and support the collectible. An end portion is attached to the foot-shaped portion and rests against the wall, such that the first shell supports the shoe tree. A second shell seals the case and includes a planar second end to be placed on a lip of the wall, such that the collectible is encapsulated by the case. The planar second end has a recessed second edge to align with the recessed first edge, such that the case can be stacked on a counterpart case.

A water resistant tote box is provided. The tote box includes a base, longitudinally extending sidewalls, laterally extending end walls, and a two-piece lid. The base includes a concave lower surface that matches a convex upper surface of the lid, for preserving the structural integrity of the convex upper surface when stacking a like tote box thereon. The two-piece lid includes a pair of lid halves including a rear end hingedly attached to the sidewalls and a free end including interlocking flaps that are securable via a line of connection. Drain troughs disposed on the walls are in fluid communication with drain channels disposed on the lid, enabling moisture to flow off the top of the tote box. Drain gutters disposed on the lid halves are configured to direct moisture, permeating the line of connection, towards the walls. In this way, the tote box has a synergistic effect of resisting water by directing moisture away from the top of the tote box and preventing moisture from leaking into its interior.

A stackable container includes a solid compostable or recyclable body formed primarily of a plant fiber. The body includes a floor and a plurality of side walls that are coupled to the floor along first common edges. Each side wall is coupled to two adjacent side walls along second common edges to surround an interior space of the container. A top surface of the side walls provides a rim that includes a recess or projection configured to couple the container to a corresponding projection or recess of an overlying container. A bottom surface of the floor includes a recess or projection that is configured to be coupled with a projection or recess of an underlying container.

The invention relates to a stackable container including a holding body, which has a bottom and a lateral wall, which bound a holding chamber. The holding body has stacking elements, which can be moved from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2) and which alternatively allow at least two such stackable containers to be stacked one inside the other and to be stacked one on the other. The holding body also has at least one drain opening in the region of the bottom of the holding body, and the bottom is designed to hold moisture and/or liquid present in the holding chamber and to guide the moisture and/or liquid toward the at least one drain opening. At least one of the stacking elements has a drain groove, which is designed to hold and to lead away moisture and/or liquid.

A stackable container includes a step-shaped edge at upper ends of side walls and, on the outer side of the side walls, a projection resting on the step-shaped edge. Openings at lower edges of the side walls open into a collecting channel which extends along the base and is connected in one piece with the base and which collects small quantities of liquids passing through the openings. The projection covers the collecting channel and, together with the outer wall of the collecting channel and the step-shaped edge of the container located therebeiow, forms a free space, into which larger quantities of liquids can pass and flow into the lower container. Extinguishing water, sprayed over the stack of containers in the event of a fire, can thus pass from the upper container into the lower containers of the stack and extinguish a fire in a lower region of the stack.

A partition structure of an internal space of a food storage container includes: a container body having a bottom part and lateral parts surrounding a periphery of the bottom part, wherein a transversal inner edge is formed between the lateral parts, and a longitudinal inner edge is formed between the bottom part and each lateral part; and a partition component, disposed in the container body and composed of plural plate units, each plate unit has a partition plate part and an abutting part, and at least one alignment part having a curvature is extended from each abutting part; wherein a curvature defined by the transversal inner edge being extended from each lateral part and a curvature defined by the longitudinal inner edge being extended from the bottom part to each lateral part are substantially the same as the curvature of the alignment part.
