A collapsible container (100) has an unfolded configuration for use of the container and a folded configuration for storage of the container. The container 100 comprises a plurality of panels arranged to form a base (104a); a first side wall (104h) pivotally connected to a first edge of the base (104a) by a first flexible hinge member (108); a second side wall (104b) pivotally connected to a second edge of the base (104a) by a second flexible hinge member (108), the second edge of the base being adjacent to the first edge of the base. In the folded configuration, the first side wall (104h) lies between the base (104a) and the second side wall (104b) and the second flexible hinge member (108) is longer than the first flexible hinge member (108) so as to accommodate the first side wall (104h) between the base (104a) and the second side wall (104b).

A thermally insulated container is provided which includes a tubular inner container part having a closed bottom and an open top end; a tubular outer container part having a closed bottom and an open top end, for receiving therein the tubular inner container part; and a connection member. With the inner container part received in the outer container part, the connection member is disposed between an upper end portion of the inner container part and an upper end portion of the outer container part to define a sealed space having a predetermined size between the outer peripheral surface of the inner container part and the inner peripheral surface of the outer container part.

A closure that may be used on a container such as a bottle that holds personal care products is disclosed.

A portable deployable container system has structural elements, including a base, a cover, and a set of panels, which can be manipulated into at least two container configurations. In one configuration, a container is formed by releasably securing the cover to the base to define a first volume. Some or all of the panels may be enclosed within such first volume, defining an undeployed configuration for the system. A second configuration involves removably securing some or all of the set of panels to the base and enclosing the panels with the cover, thereby deploying the system and forming a second, deployed configuration enclosing a volume larger than the first volume. Interconnections between the structural elements benefit from duckbill connections which add strength to the configurations by receiving flanges of first elements into corresponding channels of second elements formed by flared walls on such structural elements.

A ventilated container for produce includes a bottom, sidewalls extending upwardly from the bottom, and a rim having a flattened top surface. The sidewalls include at least one ventilation opening located proximate the rim of the container thereby permitting the rim of the container to be generally flat and uninterrupted. The location of ventilation opening(s) proximate the rim of the container allows the flow of rising ethylene gas within the container to exit near the top of the container improving ventilation within the container. A plastic film can be applied over the top of the container and is adhered to the container with an adhesive to form a secure and rigid seal between the film and the container. The flattened surface of the rim improves the adherence between a film and the container to enclose and seal the container, aids the rigidity of the container, and lessens the likelihood of the edges of the rim being bent or folded when pressure is exerted to protect produce provided within the container. Moreover, an aperture on the bottom of the container provides drainage of liquid from the container and allow air to flow.

A container includes a base and a cover which is snapped to the base. The cover includes at least one recess defined in lateral face thereof. The base includes a peripheral wall which has a reception area. The reception area includes a stop wall that extends from the peripheral wall, and a snapping member extends from the reception area and includes a protrusion. The at least one recess includes a wide top opening and a narrow bottom. The protrusion is shaped to be engaged with the at least one recess to connect the cover to the base. The base includes stop wall which reinforces the base strength to avoid from being deformed.

A thermal pizza slice container apparatus for transporting a pizza slice and maintaining temperature includes a base having a base bottom side, a base sidewall, and an open base top side defining a base cavity. The base bottom side is sector-shaped and configured to accommodate a slice of pizza. A bottom lip is coupled to a perimeter of the open base top side. A lid has a lid top side, a lid sidewall, and an open lid bottom side defining a lid cavity. The lid top side is sector-shaped and conforms to the base bottom side. The lid sidewall has a flared lower portion that is selectively engageable with the bottom lip to seal and alternatively unseal the base cavity and the lid cavity. The base and the lid are each comprised of an outer shell layer and an inner insulation layer.

A selectably securable container lid that is selectively attachable to different sized rims of different cups, having a circular body, a central aperture which passes through the body, a perimeter edge, a top side, and a bottom side. The top side may include a diametral valley and the bottom side may include a plurality of radially disposed securing nubs. The selectably securable container lid may be frictionally secured to the rim of a cup through the application of mechanical force that presses the selectably securable container lid into the rim, and may be later removed from the cup by lifting from an edge of the selectably securable container lid sufficiently to dislodge the friction fit.

A pickling device may include a housing having a first open end and a second closed end opposite the first open end. The housing may define a pickling cavity extending between the first open end and the second closed end, and the pickling cavity may be to receive food to be pickled. The pickling device may have a disc-shaped insert to be positioned in the pickling cavity and over the food to be pickled, a lid to be coupled to the first open end of the housing, and a positive pressure source to be removably coupled to the lid and configured to pressurize the pickling cavity during a pickling process without application of heat.

A food tray cover comprising a frame, the frame dimensioned to seat atop a food tray, the frame including an upper surface having an outer edge, an inner edge, and a sidewall extending downwardly from the outer edge, the upper surface has an opening, the perimeter of the opening being defined by the inner edge of the upper surface; a lid rotatably attached to the frame over the opening formed therein, the lid being moveable between an open position and a closed position; means for biasing the lid between the closed position and the open position; and means for releasably locking the lid to the frame when in the closed position.
