There is provided a door release mechanism for use with a container having at least one door moveable between a closed position and an open position. There is also provided a container system for holding and dispensing a material. The container system comprises a container body for holding material, the container body comprising at least one opening. The container system comprises at least one door moveable between a closed position in which the at least one door occludes the at least one opening, and an open position. The container system comprises the door release mechanism, which is coupled to the container body. The door release mechanism comprises at least one sliding member being moveable between a first position and a second position, in which the sliding member can be retained, and door connecting member connecting the sliding member to the moveable door.

An eco-friendly detachable container including a base assembly having a metallic plate attached to a support panel; telescopic corner posts; side panels; a top panel; a first door assembly; a second door assembly; a locking mechanism. The detachable container is vertically adjustable. The support pane, the telescopic corner posts, the side panels, the top panel, the first door assembly, the second door assembly, and the locking mechanism are made entirely from recycled plastic, virgin plastic, or regrind plastic. The metallic plate is made of a recycled aluminum.

A container (10) comprises a base (41), side panels (40) and a cover (30). The side panels (40) are connected to the base (41). The cover (30) is locked onto the tops of the side panels (40) through a locking device. The locking device comprises automatic locks (50) and manual locks (60). The automatic locks (50) are arranged on two opposite sides of the cover (30), and the manual locks (60) are arranged on the other two sides of the cover. The automatic locks (50) and the manual locks (60) are both adopted on the cover (30) and used in cooperation with a tilting-pre-vention device, thus the container (10) has the tilting-pre-vention effect, the stacking and supporting effect, and the locking and unlocking guiding and return guiding effect. The locking strength is increased, and the convenience in locking operation and unlocking operation is improved.

A mechanism for precisely controlling a slide gate to provide certain and secure location of a sliding gate in a path of flowable dry bulk material, the mechanism including a rack and pinon gear with a shaft with a diameter hole therethrough for receiving a pin therethrough when the sliding gate is in a desired position. The swing arm is configured to inhibit removal of the pin and thereby prevent unwanted movement of the gate from the desired position. The swing arm is configured for selectively prohibiting accidental and/or intentional but unauthorized removal of the pin depending upon types of objects being placed through the open hole in the swing arm and the first fixed arm open hole.

Disclosed is a closure for a door of a shipping container. The closure includes a housing, an outside handle pivotally mounted relative to the housing, an inside handle pivotally mounted relative to the housing, and a catch connected to the inside handle. The closure is configured so that movement of the inside handle between a first position and a second position causes corresponding movement of the catch. A locking mechanism can releasably fix the inside handle relative to the outside handle, such that when in a locked position rotation of the outside handle causes corresponding rotation of the inside handle and when in an unlocked position the inside handle can be rotated independently of the outside handle.

A container with improved sealing, for improved security in the event of loading, transporting and/or unloading submicron particles, in particular nanopowder/nanoparticles, includes a connector for injecting liquid and/or gas. Such a container can also contain at least one inflatable seal (40) valve (3; 4). The container is provided with elements for changing the physical state of the material by heating, mixing or ultrasound bombardment. A method for using the container and an inflatable seal valve are also described.

A dual storage and disposal device with components combined in a specific way to provide a device capable of providing both on-site storage and disposal capability. The device includes a front wall with attachment apparatus, side walls, bottom, and a rear wall capable of opening as a door and a dividing wall. The device achieves its dual roles by comprising both a storage facility portion and a dumpster portion capable if independent operation.

An article storage device, includes: a luggage cargo having a plurality of storage chambers; an outer door; an outer door drive device; a plurality of inner doors; and a switching device, wherein the inner doors are slidable together with the outer door if coupled to the outer door, the plurality of inner doors include a first inner door and a second inner door, the plurality of storage chambers include a first storage chamber having a first opening and a second storage chamber having a second opening, the first opening is opened and closed by the first inner door sliding together with the outer door while being coupled to the outer door, and the second opening is opened and closed by the second inner door sliding together with the outer door while being coupled to the outer door.

A manway gate assembly couples to a tank and provides a liquid tight seal. The manway gate assembly includes a gate selectively slideable in a first linear direction between an open position, a closed position, and/or an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position. The manway gate assembly includes one or more locking members arranged adjacent to the gate and moveable between a locked position and an un-locked position. When in the locked position, the one or more locking members apply a biasing force to the gate in a second linear direction perpendicular to the first linear direction to seal the gate to the tank and provide a liquid tight seal.
