According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a folding container comprising a base, a first mount on the base, a first side wall, and a translational hinge connecting the first side wall to the first mount. The translational hinge facilitates rotational and translational movement of the first side wall between an upright erected state and a folded state, in which the first side wall extends in a generally parallel to the base. The container also has an upright lock featuring a peg on the first side wall and a catch on the mount. The catch has a recess for receiving the peg of the first side wall to lock the first side wall into the erected state. The recess is elongated, at least in part, in a direction that is slanted in respect to the upright orientation.

A casing for transporting a communication rack that includes a bottom plate, four side walls, a top side, and a securing mechanism that includes front and back beams and right and left brackets. Each beam has left and right ends with horizontal holes and each bracket has front and back ends with pieces with threaded hole. The front beam is connected onto a top side of the front margin of the bottom plate and the back beam is connected onto a top side of a back margin of the bottom plate.

A modular, multiconfigurable container adapted to collapse for stowability and portability which is capable of being arranged in several geometries; whereby the container is operable to enable a user to assembly the container without tools, screws or external fasteners, and customize the container with minimal effort and skillset requirements for assemblage, so as to enable a user to customize said container for optimal stowing of categorized items in multiple interior bins, the container further configured to facilitate disassembly and stowage, one-man portability, and minimal tool and skillset requirements for assemblage. In various embodiments, the side panels and base panel are affixed together using a live hinge. The tote container further operates to allow a user to apply labels forwardly and rearwardly on the container within a recess adapted for that purpose.

Disclosed is a foldable container. The container comprises a base (5) and two pairs of side plates (1, 2, 3, 4). The side plates are connected to the base in a manner such that the side plates can be folded relative to the base. Each of the side plates is provided with at least one first reinforcement member (6). Where the side plates are in an upright state, the first reinforcement members of the adjacent side plates are mutually connected so as to form an annular integral body. By means of the structure of the reinforcement member, the strength of the side plates of the foldable container is improved, and the defect where the side plates turn white, and even bulge, deform and fail when the foldable container bears a heavy load is overcome.

Described herein are collapsible containers for transportation of cargo, and methods of using them. The containers may include textured bottom surfaces to facilitate positive engagement with a conveyor. In some embodiments, the containers include secure locking mechanisms that prevent inadvertent unlocking while also permitting one-handed operation. In some embodiments, the containers include adapters to facilitate discharge of liquid cargo.

A squeezer and fluid discharge system and method are disclosed. The fluid discharge system includes a container, a liner bag, a squeezing device and a driving device, the liner bag is installed in the container, and the driving device is connected to the squeezing device and used to drive the squeezing device. The squeezing device comprises at least two rollers, and the liner bag is formed by welding a front panel and a rear panel and is provided with a discharge port which is arranged adjacent to the weld line at the bottom of the liner bag.

Folding transport container intended mainly for transport of materials, goods, and other cargo, comprising the base, side panels with side uprights (2, 3), where these panels have pivot links with edges of the base and lock-release mechanism (1). The lock-release mechanism is placed inside the side upright (2) of the first side panel and includes the lever (4) with catch (5) and spring (6), wherein the lever (4) is placed in rotary fashion inside the side upright (2) of the first side panel using fixed axis (7) so that one end of the lever (4) is placed within the hollow 1 (8) of the side upright (2) of the first side panel, while the other end of the lever (2) has fixed link to a catch (5), which is placed inside the hollow 2 (9) of the side upright (2) of the first side panel. The side upright (3) of the adjacent side panel is equipped with an opening (10), whose shape and dimensions are adapted to the shape and dimensions of the catch (5) and it is in one plane with the catch (5). The spring (6) is linked to the lever (4).

The invention is directed to a flexible and collapsible extended-length bulk bin. The bulk bin includes two molded plastic end pieces that are connected at each side to each by metal rails. A bottom panel and two side wall panels are also positioned between the two molded plastic end pieces.

An intermediate bulk container (IBC) system including a base and walls, and having an interior space. The system comprises a drain in the base or in a wall, a liner bag having a liner bag drain couplable to the drain in the base or in a wall, and a door coupled to the wall by a hinge and shaped to cover an opening in the wall. The opening extends from a top of the wall. The hinge is coupled to the door to allow the door to rotate into the interior space. A stop prevents the door from rotating beyond the wall. The system may be used by rotating the door into the interior space to expose the opening, reaching through the opening and operatively coupling the liner bag drain at the drain in the base or in a wall, and rotating the door to cover the opening.

A collapsible storage and transportation unit is disclosed and comprises a base including a cargo area surrounded by an edge having four ends; four wall panel supporting members connected to the edge of the base, each wall panel supporting member comprising at least a first post member and a second post member, the wall panel supporting members being pivotable between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration, wherein in the folded configuration the wall panel supporting members are lying down over the base and the collapsible storage and transportation unit is in a collapsed configuration. In the unfolded configuration the first post member of a first given wall panel supporting member and the second post member of a second given wall panel supporting member are both adjacent to each other. A first collapsible storage and transportation unit is stackable over a second collapsible storage and transportation unit.
