A canister for collection and storage of fluids under vacuum, comprising a spherical container having a first hemispherical component and a second hemispherical component. The first and second components are connected at a canister beltline consisting of multiple flanges, to provide an air-tight and liquid tight seal.

An inventive vacuum storage container for long term storage of perishable and non-perishable items with secondary storage cavity inside the base. The inventive vacuum storage container incorporates a top cover with vacuum valve and bottom base with an elastic seal. Furthermore, the bottom base possesses removable bottom which couples to the bottom base to form a second interior storage cavity. The removable bottom base may also be coupled with a display surface.

A portable, personal container is formed from an inner container formed by a first tube and a second tube which slidably engage to form a sealed inner container, which fits within an outer container formed by a first tube and a second tube which slidably engage to form a sealed outer container. A spring allows a pumping action which creates a slight negative pressure in the inner container and creates a plenum within the outer container, keeping odors and freshness in.

A method of preparing a food item includes the steps of placing a first food element in a package base, placing a second food element in the package base, adding a package top to create a package, and drawing the first food element around the second food element by vacuum sealing the package. The method also includes the step of forming a food item in which the first food element substantially envelops the second food element by cooking the first and second food elements in the sealed package. Each food element retains its identity after cooking.

A storage box that includes a container and a lid, which includes a bottom plate, a top plate, a top plate anchor and a movable latch. The bottom plate includes an arm that the height of its left section is bigger than the height of its right section, and its inclined middle section inclines from left to right. The movable latch includes a protrusion that its left section is flat and the inclined right section inclines and descends from left to right. The movable latch is designed to be positioned between the top plate and the bottom plate, in a way that the horizontal protrusion is inserted under the horizontal arm of the bottom plate and the movable latch can be moved from right to left and back.

A packaging for a medical device and medicament comprising a packaging body having first and second regions. A medicament delivery device is received in the first region and a medicament container is received in the second region. The medicament delivery device includes a chamber configured to receive the medicament container. The packaging body includes a hinge between the first and second regions such that the first and second regions are pivotable about the hinge from a storage position in which the first and second regions are spaced apart to a loading position in which the first region lies adjacent the second region. The chamber and medicament container are equidistantly spaced from the hinge such that the medicament container is loaded into the chamber when the first and second regions are pivoted into the loading position.

This invention is directed toward a self-contained heated portable vacuum slurry box which is manufactured from steel rated for cold temperatures. The slurry box generally includes a vacuum tank, a structure attached to the tank, a mechanical bay containing a power unit, and a tailgate, a The invention herein utilizes a selection of steel that allows for a vacuum slurry box to function in the cold environmental conditions.

It is desired to make an improved lid suitable for pails, overcoming the problem of existing complexities and leaks. The invention is achieved by a lid (300) having a lid skirt (320) provided with an inner collar (328) that engages an outer collar (222) of a sidewall (220) of a pail (200), the lid skirt (320) being provided with a fastening mechanism (330) for tightening the inner collar (328) around the sidewall (220) below the outer collar (222). Corresponding to the lid (300) a pail (200) is provided having a simplified structure that is supported mechanically by the lid (300). Furthermore, a thermally insulated compound pail is disclosed, the compound pail comprising a first inner pail (200) that is inserted into a second outer pail (200) such that a space (404) is formed between said pails (200).

A method for closing and securing a safety vacuum packaging in which an object to be secured and a plurality of particles are arranged in an interior space of a container of the safety vacuum packaging. Subsequently, the safety vacuum packaging is vacuumed via a vacuum seal, and the plurality of particles is fixed in a random immobile state. The safety vacuum packaging is closed, and the random immobile state of the particles is captured. The captured random immobile state of the particles is stored for later comparison.

A packaging system for medical containers having a main opening, comprising: a vessel having a shoulder; a tray provided with cavities that is intended for receiving a medical container and rests on the shoulder; a plurality of caps that close the main opening; and a lid that seals the vessel. A method for packaging medical containers, comprises the following steps: providing a vessel; arranging a tray on the shoulder of the vessel; arranging medical containers in the cavities; arranging a cap on the medical containers so as to close the main opening thereof; sealing a lid on an upper edge of the peripheral wall of the vessel; and placing the vessel in at least one sealed bag.
