Present embodiments relate to an insulated container. More specifically, but without limitation, the present embodiments relate to a container having a hard liner and a softside exterior which may retain heated or cold food or drink items. In some embodiments, the insulated container may be in the form of a bucket and in other embodiments, the insulated container may be in the form of a cooler. The exterior of the insulated container comprises the appearance of a soft container, but has the improved rigidity of a hard container.

A foldable storage box including a box body. The box body is arranged with a bottom support portion and multiple side enclosure portions; each adjacent two of the multiple side enclosure portions are disconnected; a bottom of each of the multiple side enclosure portions is fixed to a corresponding side edge of the bottom support portion; the multiple side enclosure portions are rotatable with respect to the bottom support portion, to move close to the bottom support portion for folding the box body or to move away from the bottom support portion for opening the box body.

A storage container comprises an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface having one or more cavities. A locking mechanism may be located in a cavity disposed on the bottom of the storage container and have arms to allow for locking and unlocking of the same despite the distal positioning of the locking mechanism form the outer surface of the container. Handles may be hingedly located within a cavity in the outer side surface of the container and can be moved into holding positions and back.

A bucket holding and tipping device with an adjustably movable cinching band on which are engaged one or more foot plates. On each plate, the band passes through slots in the plates and the plates are adapted to receive in pressing relationship the bottom of a human foot. Each plate also has a handle opening in the plate.

An interlocking or engaging container and container system are presented herein. In particular, the system includes a plurality of adjacently disposed (side-by-side, end-to-end and stacked) containers that are dimensioned to maximize the available space on a pallet, for example, a 463-L Pallet, HCU-6/E Pallet or other pallet. The containers include enlarged wheels, one or more support feet, and a handle assembly. The containers are configured to include a plurality of interlocking or engaging portions such as one or more wheel assembly receiving portions, one or more foot receiving portions, outer extensions or engaging portions, and a handle engaging portion. The Interlocking or engaging portions are configured to matingly engage or abut corresponding portions of an adjacent container and at least partially restrict movement there between.

A soft-sided insulated container that has a rigid closure. The rigid closure has a first closure interface that is a passive friction fit in which one part wipes another. The rigid closure has a second closure interface that is an active closure in which a mechanical device, such as a latch or clamp, is used positively to energize a closure between different parts of the closure. The container has a vent. The latch operates to close the vent. The soft-sided insulated container has a soft-sided external casing, and a rigid internal liner that includes a mating rigid lid. There is a releasable securement that holds the liner in engagement with the casing, but that can be released to permit the casing to be extracted from the liner. The releasable securement is a one-way passively engageable securement.

The present disclosure relates to a first storage bin having a main body with a base wall, side walls, a rear wall, and a front wall defining an open top, a partly open front, and a rim with built-in handles. Each side wall has an inner surface with a platform and an outer surface with a channel. The platform has a stacking surface adjacent to the rim. The bin also includes a movable handle attached to the rim, which is movably connected to the main body. The flip handle can be in an opened position, allowing stacking of the first storage bin with a second storage bin, or in a closed position, allowing nesting of the first storage bin with the second storage bin, without any lateral offset between the first and second storage bins so that there is no lean in either the stacked or nested arrangements.

A portable cooler comprises an insulated container formed by parallel opposing sides including front and back walls, first and second sides, and a lid and a floor, and handles attached to the front and rear walls. First and second wide-tread wheels disposed on an axle extending between the first and second sides of a wheel recess formed in the lower portion of the rear wall, wherein the wheels occupy substantially the entire space between the first and second sides. An alternate embodiment disposes a single, barrel-shaped wheel within the wheel recess. The cooler is especially adapted for rolling and maneuvering over uneven or very soft terrain.

A cooler is provided which has various improvements. The cooler may be a passive cooler or may be actively cooled for providing desirable cooling effects. The cooler may include an accessory system, for example, with bottle or can holders or a post holder which utilizes the weight of the cooler to support a sunshade. The accessory system may be positioned in various locations of the cooler, one location being in a recess which is utilized to open the cooler lid. The smart cooler may also comprise a cushion assembly which may be placed on an upper surface of the lid and may have straps to retain the cushion on the lid. The lid may be formed to accept and retain a cushion retaining feature so that the cushion does not excessively move from the top surface of the lid.

A tool box assembly has at least one tool box, and each tool box has a container, at least one first assembling structure, at least one second assembling structure, and at least one drawer. The container of each tool box has a base and a surrounding wall erectly disposed at the base. Each second assembling structure is configured to engage with each first assembling structure. The at least one drawer of each tool box is disposed within the container of the tool box and is able to enter or exit from the container via a front opening of the container.
