A storage device has a container and a lid dolly that is usable as a lid to close the container and as a dolly to transport the container, wherein the lid dolly has casters configured to fit within the interior of the container when the lid dolly is closed on the container. A storage device kit has a container, a lid, a template, casters and fasteners. A retrofit kit for a storage device with a container and a lid has a template, casters and fasteners. The template may be installed as a reinforcement plate to structurally reinforce the lid for supporting the weight load of the container and its contents.

A container lid is provided herein having structurally reinforcing ribs therein. The ribs increase the strength of the lid across a central region thereof. Specifically, the lid can have an outer perimeter and the ribs can be spaced inwardly from the outer perimeter. The inwardly spaced ribs can provide a distinct look for consumer differentiation. Additionally, the ribs can be arcuate so that they generally follow a curvature of the outer perimeter of the lid. As such, a label region within the lid central region is preserved, while the lid is still strengthened by the ribs.

The invention teaches a container lid product for controlling access to a container. The container lid comprises one or more hollow molded hinges with solid compressed area to eliminate any seam in use pivotally connecting the product to the container, a hollow-molded edge disposed adjacent to the one or more hollow-molded hinges, and a single-walled cover portion being connected to the hollow-molded edge. The single-walled cover has a length and a width and comprises a plurality of ribs extending the length of the single-walled cover. The single-walled cover has a peripheral rim with an undercut for stiffening. Each the one or more hollow molded hinges comprises an elongate knuckle. The hollow-molded edges comprises a top layer and a bottom layer.

Containers for storing food in a storage compartment may include a base portion of the container. The storage compartment is sealed with a film to get the food stored in the storage compartment fresh. The container further includes a reversible lid that is able to attach to the base portion of the container in two different configurations. In a first configuration the reversible lid attaches to the base portion without affecting the seal created by the film. In a second configuration the reversible lid attaches to the base portion when the lid is inverted and the film is removed from the base portion.

A container lid is provided herein having structurally reinforcing ribs therein. The ribs increase the strength of the lid across a central region thereof. Specifically, the lid can have an outer perimeter and the ribs can be spaced inwardly from the outer perimeter. The inwardly spaced ribs can provide a distinct look for consumer differentiation. Additionally, the ribs can be arcuate so that they generally follow a curvature of the outer perimeter of the lid. As such, a label region within the lid central region is preserved, while the lid is still strengthened by the ribs.

An apparatus for dispensing a single box for containing foodstuffs includes a housing, a lift subassembly, and a transfer subassembly. The housing at least partially defines an inner area. The lift subassembly is coupled to the housing and disposed at least partially within the inner area. The lift subassembly includes a nest configured to support a plurality of boxes disposed in a stack and translate with respect to the housing in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction. The transfer subassembly is coupled to the housing and disposed at least partially within the inner area. The transfer subassembly includes a vacuum suction cup. The vacuum suction cup is configured to operatively engage a first box of the plurality of boxes to remove the first box from the stack and pivot the first box about a rotational axis to a surface outside of the inner area.

Examples include a cardboard support element for a cardboard container, the support element comprising a cardboard structure extending away from a base plane, a first flap connected to the cardboard structure and extended in a direction normal to the base plane, a first primary panel and a second primary panel connected by a linear ridge, a first secondary panel connecting the first flap and the first primary panel, whereby a first primary folding region parallel to the linear ridge separates the first secondary panel from the first primary panel, and a first flap folding region parallel to the linear ridge separates the first secondary panel from the first flap. The first flap folding region has a folding factor larger than a first primary folding region folding factor, a ratio of the first flap folding region folding factor to the first primary folding region folding factor being of more than 1:1.

The invention relates to a lid for closing a container, wherein connectors are arranged on the lid, which are movably mounted in relation to the lateral edge and are guided through a guide, and to a system comprising a lid and a container.

A tote assembly has a tote and a lid. The tote has a sealing channel formed in a lip that extends around a perimeter of a tote opening. At least one drain is formed in the lip and is adapted to direct a fluid away from the sealing channel. The lid has a center portion, a collar disposed around the center portion forming a perimeter of the lid, and a sealing rib formed in the collar that extends around the perimeter of the lid. The collar forms an interference fit with the lip of the tote. The sealing rib is configured to be disposed in the sealing channel to form a fluid tight seal. The fluid-tight seal between the tote and lid ensures the contents of the tote remain dry in an otherwise wet environment or conditions.

A hazardous material shipping container comprises a shell having a first threaded portion at a first end thereof, a closed second end opposite the first end, inwardly extending ribs, and outwardly extending flutes, wherein the ribs and flutes are disposed between the first end and the second end. A cushioning material is inside the shell, and a cap has a second threaded portion adapted to mate with the first threaded portion and a recess on a lower surface wherein the recess is adapted to receive an upper portion of a material container.
