A collapsible storage silo having an expanded configuration includes: (a) a shell for circumscribing storage space and comprising a plurality of concentrically nested tubular members that are collapsible; (b) a lift system operable to slidably expand the plurality of concentrically nested tubular members to place the silo in its expanded configuration; and (c) a mast operable to support the lift system. The mast is pivotable between horizontal and vertical positions relative to a frame. A winch attaches to the mast and a cable extends between the winch and an outermost tubular member to expand the silo such that inwardly and outwardly projecting lips of nested members engage each other and a conical hopper engages an innermost tubular member. A flexible inner liner attaches between an outermost tubular member and the hopper. A collapsible roof has a flexible roof membrane and a plurality of radially extending foldable rib members.

A container assembly for flowable materials, the container assembly comprising: a reusable outer supporting container; and a disposable inner plastic liner; wherein the reusable outer supporting container comprises an outlet pipe comprising a first outlet pipe section connected to the reusable outer supporting container and a second outlet pipe section releasably connectable to the first outlet pipe section, wherein the second outlet pipe section comprises a valve for selectively closing off the second outlet pipe section, and wherein at least one of the first outlet pipe section and the second outlet pipe section comprises an annular recess; and wherein the disposable inner plastic liner comprises a tubular outlet portion, wherein the tubular outlet portion comprises an outer flange configured to be captured between the first outlet pipe section and the second outlet pipe section, and further wherein the outer flange of the tubular outlet portion comprises an annular protrusion configured to be received in the annular recess when the outer flange is captured between the first outlet pipe section and the second outlet pipe section.

Provided herein are products, methods, and kits, for use in regulating the temperature of an object. The present invention relates to thermal insulating liners for regulating the temperature of perishable goods or temperature sensitive products. The thermal insulating liners generally may be dimensioned to fit within a container. The thermal insulating liners may be quickly collapsed and reconstructed to improve stackability and diminish the amount of space required to store the thermal insulating liners prior to use.

A container, in particular for a system for distributing goods in urban areas. The system includes at least one micro-tunnel forming at least one transport loop, a greatest inside dimension of the micro-tunnel in cross section, in particular its inside diameter, preferably being between 1.5 m and 4 m inclusive, shuttles circulating in the micro-tunnel, a plurality of stations for exchange with the surface, enabling raising of the goods, the container being a fork-liftable, and having a base with inside dimensions adapted to receive only one or at most two pallets.

The present application is directed to a container (20) for holding paint. The container comprises at least two fluid ports (23, 40). The container has a body that is shape self supporting and is a non-rigid construction. At least one fluid port is a separate part (40) from the body of the container.

The invention relates to a fluid delivery assembly (1) for a spray gun, the assembly comprising a container (20) for holding paint. The container is self-supporting and configured to collapse as fluid is dispensed via the spray gun, wherein the container comprises at least one vent (26). The invention further relates to a spray gun including such fluid delivery assembly, a method of forming the container and a thermo/vacuum forming tool to be used in such method.

A bladder for retaining material to be stored within a bladder tank. The bladder comprises a flexible enclosure comprising a floor portion connected to one or more wall portions, and a leak retention enclosure having upper and lower edges sealed to the flexible enclosure to create a sealed chamber between the flexible enclosure and the leak retention enclosure. Leakage of material from within the flexible enclosure adjacent to the sealed chamber is received within the sealed chamber and retained by the leak retention enclosure.

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).

Shipping system for temperature-sensitive materials. In one embodiment, the shipping system may include a frame defining an enclosure. The frame may include a bottom, a top, a front, a rear, a left side, a right side, a left corner gusset, and a right corner gusset. The front may serve as a door. Thermal breaks may be provided in one or more of the bottom, the front, the left corner gusset, and the right corner gusset. Vacuum insulated panels may be positioned along all sides of the frame. Many of the vacuum insulated panels may be encapsulated between the frame and an outer shell. A plurality of phase-change material assemblies may be positioned within the frame along all sides. Heat-spreaders may be positioned interior to the phase-change material assemblies. The shipping system may be dimensioned so that four such shipping systems may be seated on a prorate manual cargo sheet.
