20210047075 · 2021-02-18 ·

A stackable tote and lid combination has a lid with a main body and a rim. The rim has a wall with corner bodies, where the wall is spaced apart from a major surface. Each corner body has an upper surface with three outer side surfaces. Each first outer side surface is attached to a respective second outer side surface and each second outer side surface is attached to a respective third outer side surface. Each first, second, and third outer side surface is positioned between and connected to the upper surface of the respective corner body and the major surface of the main body. As a result, each first, second, and third outer side surface of respective corner bodies is configured to abut a hollow body of the stackable tote at three respective internal contact areas, and to removably hold the stackable tote.

Stackable cartons, system, and methods of using the same

A carton for holding at least one article includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carton. The plurality of panels includes a top panel, a bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel, and at least one side panel. The top panel is recessed below a portion of each of the front panel, the back panel, and the at least one side panel to form a recessed top portion for receiving a portion of a vertically adjacent carton.

Container and container lid with built-in brine disc
10919673 · 2021-02-16 · ·

The present disclosure relates generally to containers and container lids. In at least one embodiment, the disclosed containers and container lids provide a liquid-tight seal without the use of gaskets, and can facilitate full submersion of solid items when the container is filled with liquid. For example, in certain embodiments, a container lid includes a brine disc panel with alternating hatched patterns of downward protruding ridges. Thus, in these embodiments, liquids within the container can pass between the protruding ridges (e.g., with the protruding ridges extending downwardly into the liquid) and the protruding ridges may keep solids that tend to float in the liquid below a surface of the liquid.

BUCKET AND LID SYSTEMS AND APPARATUSES
20210070497 · 2021-03-11 ·

A lid for a bucket comprises a center portion and at least one side portion. In some embodiments, the side portion is removably coupled to the center portion. In some embodiments, the side portion is hingedly connected to the center portion and includes at least one cutout suitable for receiving a bail mount of the bucket. The hinged connection between the center portion and the side portion may be on an axis substantially perpendicular to an axis on which plural bail mounts of the bucket lie.

CONTAINER AND RELATED METHODS

A one-piece molded container comprising a lid and a container body is provided. The container body and lid are connected by a living hinge. The container body has interior protrusions extending from a bottom portion in an interior of the container body to limit nesting of the containers. The container body has a recess on a bottom portion on an exterior portion of the container and a dual-prong lid-locking mechanism, the lid-locking mechanism including a first prong, a second prong being a tamper-evident tearaway portion, and a protrusion extending downwardly from an interior portion of the lid.

UTILITY ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIVITY SYSTEM THEREFORE

Provided is a connectivity system for a utility module, including one or both of: a rigid base portion with at least one engaging tab projecting at a first edge portion of the rigid base portion, and at least one locking receptacle disposed at a second edge portion of the rigid base portion; and a rigid mounting platform comprising an upwardly extending perimetric rim defining a utility module arresting space, the rim being configured with at least one tab arresting receptacle at a first location, and at least one locking latch at a second location.

Utility assembly and connectivity system therefore

METHOD OF INSTALLING SELF-DRILLING, SELF-TAPPING BONE SCREW FOR BICORTICAL PURCHASE
20210022784 · 2021-01-28 ·

A self-drilling, self-tapping bone screw is described in which the bone screw has a drill tip free of threads and having a length at least as great as about the thickness of a proximal cortical bone layer, with the drill tip having opposed lands and a helical flute between each of the lands with each of the lands having a cutting edge configured to cut bone as the drill tip is rotated into the bone with the flutes conveying the bone debris away from the drill tip, where a lead thread begins to self-tap internal threads in the proximal cortical bone layer after the drill tip has drilled through the proximal cortical bone layer so as to avoid stripping the threads formed in the bone layer. A method of installation is also disclosed.

Stackable tote and lid combination

A stackable tote and lid combination has a lid with a main body and a rim. The rim has a wall with corner bodies, where the wall is spaced apart from a major surface. Each corner body has an upper surface with three outer side surfaces. Each first outer side surface is attached to a respective second outer side surface and each second outer side surface is attached to a respective third outer side surface. Each first, second, and third outer side surface is positioned between and connected to the upper surface of the respective corner body and the major surface of the main body. As a result, each first, second, and third outer side surface of respective corner bodies is configured to abut a hollow body of the stackable tote at three respective internal contact areas, and to removably hold the stackable tote.
