Insulating container
An insulating container having a bottom part and four side wall parts, wherein two opposite side wall parts are mounted so as to be pivotably movable about mutually parallel pivoting axes situated in a plane of the bottom part between a raised functional position and a folded position swung onto the bottom part. The other two side wall parts are each mounted so as to be pivotably movable about a swing axis on one of the side wall parts mounted on the bottom, wherein the swing axis is aligned orthogonally to the pivoting axis of the side wall part mounted on the bottom.
Container assembly having a heat-sealed metal end, a metal end therefor, and a method for making same
A container assembly includes a container body having a side wall encircling an axis, and a metal end for attachment to an upper edge of the side wall via heat-sealing. The outer peripheral region is shaped prior to application to the container body such that an annular channel is defined between an inner chuck wall and an outer chuck wall of the metal end. The metal end is pushed straight onto the side wall such that the upper edge of the side wall is received into the channel. The surfaces of the side wall and the opposing surfaces of the chuck walls have heat-sealable material thereon. The metal end is heated to melt and fuse the heat-sealable layers, thereby sealing the metal end onto the side wall. The metal end is shaped such that the free edge of the outer chuck wall is not exposed.
FOLDABLE CONTAINER
A foldable container includes a base, a pair of first walls, a pair of second walls, and a lid. The first and second walls may hingedly rotate with respect to the base between an upright and a collapsed position. The lid may attach to the second walls while the second walls are upright. The lid includes latch assemblies, with the latch assemblies including a housing and a button assembly moveable within the housing. The button assembly includes a button body, a latching member, and a spring. The latching member is connected to the button body and may engage with the second wall to attach the lid to the second wall. The spring is connected to the button body and may engage with the housing. Compression of the button body against the spring effects disengagement of the latching member from the second wall to remove the lid from the second wall.
Child resistant and airtight container
Disclosed herein are modular container systems having child-resistant containers, tray inserts and tray frames. Also disclosed are methods using the modular container systems and methods of storing substances in containers. The containers have a container base and a container cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the container cap from container base with a squeeze and lift sequence. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container base, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The components of the modular container system are modular and stackable. The modular system allow for organized, efficient, accessible and storage of the child-resistant containers. The modular container system also allows for easy counting, sorting and processing of the containers.
FOOD CONTAINER AND METHOD OF USE
A versatile food container that uses a sealing layer to cover movable/reconfigurable/removable internal dividing compartments that maintains a leak-proof seal along the perimeter as well as in between the internal compartments. The container has a variety of features and accessories that can be applied, making it effective for storing, cooking and transporting food.
MODULAR SYSTEM FOR INVENTORY AND TRANSPORT EFFICIENCY OF PACKAGING
Disclosed herein are modular container systems having child-resistant containers, tray inserts and tray frames. Also disclosed are methods using the modular container systems and methods of storing substances in containers. The containers have a container base and a container cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the container cap from container base with a squeeze and lift sequence. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container base, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The components of the modular container system are modular and stackable. The modular system allow for organized, efficient, accessible and storage of the child-resistant containers. The modular container system also allows for easy counting, sorting and processing of the containers.
COMPARTMENTALIZED CONTAINERS
A container includes a base defining a perimeter opening and a top surface within the perimeter opening. The top surface includes a plurality of discrete openings defining respective compartments extending downwardly from the top surface of the base. A first recloseable lid covers the perimeter opening when the container is closed to resist transfer of solid matter between the compartments of the base. An additional recloseable lid encloses one of the compartments to resist liquid from exiting the compartment when the compartment is closed.
Storage tote with latching handle
A storage tote system includes a body having a peripheral upper edge and hinged latches located at either end the peripheral upper edge. Each hinged latch includes lateral arms having pivot pins. The lateral arms are connected to an upper flange. The upper flange has an engagement tab extending from its lower surface. The storage tote system also includes a lid with an upper surface having complimentary recessed features on opposite ends, and a peripheral, downwardly facing groove. Each hinged latch is configured to be rotated about their pivot pins so that the upper flange is rotated onto the complimentary recessed feature. An aperture formed within the recessed feature of the lid's upper surface receives the engagement tab to securing the lid onto the body. Each hinged latch can also be rotated outwardly, away from the lid in order to disengage the engagement tab without deforming the lid.
Container filtration systems
Storage containers and lids for such containers are provided. The lid has a first lid face and a second lid face. The second lid face has a rim configured to attach the lid to a storage bin. On the first lid face and extending to the second lid face is a plurality of apertures to provide airflow through the lid. A seal material extends from the second lid face that is configured to make the airflow path selectively sealable at a continuous wall and closed surface of a corresponding storage bin.
Multi-compartment food package with suspended topping container
A multi-compartment food package is disclosed including a food bowl to hold a first food (e.g., hummus) and an independent second food container to hold a second food (e.g., a topping to be added to the first food). In one embodiment, a peel-off film is removably attached across the first food container below the top thereof. A lid is detachably connected to the first food container to surround the second food container. The lid has an annular container retaining groove formed therein and extending downwardly therefrom towards the first food container. The second food container is surrounded and frictionally engaged by the annular container retaining groove, whereby the second food container is removably attached to and suspended downwardly from the lid to be received through the top of the first food container and seated on the peel-off film located below the top thereof.
