Presenting an auxiliary storage apparatus and aircraft container that enables existing non-regulated temperature containers to be equipped with specific features such as cooling, heating, and humidifying features.

The storage container with specific features is inserted into a non-regulated temperature container for aircraft use and is affixed to the interior of the aforementioned non-regulated temperature container by the auxiliary storage apparatus, which is comprised of the wire (14) that passes over the storage container, the hooks (10, 10) and pulleys (12, 12) that affix to the existing support brackets (20, 20) that are located on the four corners of the floor surface, and the turnbuckle (16). One end of the wire (14) hooks onto the hook (10). The wire (14) then passes over the storage container and winds around the pulleys (12, 12). The other end of the wire (14) attaches to the other hook (10 using the turnbuckle (16). As the operator operates the turnbuckle, the wire (14) tightens against the storage container, and the storage container is affixed to the interior of the non-regulated temperature container.

A dual tank structure includes first and second tanks with a common secondary containment structure which are all integrally supported on a common base frame. The common base frame includes longitudinal skids so as to be suitable for transport using a conventional winch truck. A passageway with an integral valve therein permits selective communication between the tanks. The common containment structure has a containment volume which is greater than a storage volume of a largest one of the first tank and the second tank and which is less than a combined storage volume of both the first tank and the second tank.

An aerial distribution system and method for deploying items is disclosed. The system includes a bulk shipping container comprised of a single piece of corrugated plastic, cut and folded into a closable box, a plurality of deployment boxes within the bulk shipping container, each deployment box containing at least one item, a plurality of tethers, each tether coupling a deployment box to the bulk shipping container, and a freefall retarding device coupled to the bulk shipping container.

The common containment structure has a containment volume which is greater than a storage volume of a largest one of the first tank and the second tank and which is less than a combined storage volume of both the first tank and the second tank.

A cover assembly is disclosed. The cover assembly may cover a gap between a first container and a second container. The cover assembly may have a first rigid element. The cover assembly may also have a second rigid element. Further, the cover assembly may have an elastic body. The elastic body may be positioned between the first rigid element and the second rigid element. The cover assembly may also have a bolt. The bolt may connect the first rigid element with the second rigid element.

When manufacturing a low-temperature tank (1), a plurality of unit tanks (10) that are able to be connected together by mutually different objects, and that are each capable of storing low-temperature liquefied gas are manufactured in a factory that is distant from a construction site. The unit tanks (10) are then transported to the construction site, and an inner tank (2) is then assembled at the construction site by connecting together the plurality of unit tanks (10). An outer tank (3) is then formed around the inner tank (2).

A container system for use with a forklift, includes a plurality of containers, each container including side and end walls and having interlocking structure cooperatively arranged whereby adjacent containers are connectable to each other and a base secured relative to each container. The base is dimensioned to support the container and being adapted to couple with the blade of the forklift to permit placement and transport of the containers in an interlocked relation thereof. Each container may be collapsible to facilitate storage thereof.

A container according the present application includes a container auto-lock system. The container auto-lock system is integrated into the outboard apertures of the lower castings of a domestic sized container. The container auto-lock system includes a locking mechanism which is configured to recess when the container is lowered onto a surface lacking an acceptable receiving aperture. The locking mechanism is also configured to automatically lock when placed on top of a domestic sized container. The container auto-lock system is configured to be compatible with international sized container by allowing the inboard apertures on each lower casting to be available for attaching the domestic container on top of an international container with a conventional locking device.

Stackable frac tanks for storing fluid which include a first tank and a second tank stackable atop of the first tank. A fluid connection device is affixed to the first and second tanks to fluidly connect the first and second tanks together. The stackable frac tanks may include a structural support frame interposed between the first and second tanks.

A mobile tower system includes a steel shipping container. A tower structure is moveable between a substantially horizontal travel position and a substantially vertical operational position. A connection member is fixed to a lower portion of the tower structure and moveably coupled to a channel disposed in a horizontal member removeably attached to a vertical frame attached to a back wall of the steel shipping container. When the tower structure is displaced from the substantially horizontal travel position to the substantially vertical operational position, the connection member and the tower structure are linearly displaced together along the channel toward the back wall and the tower structure is pivotably displaced about the connection member, such that the upper portion of the tower structure is displaced through an opening disposed in a roof of the steel shipping container proximate a back wall of the steel shipping container.
