A liquid container for storing liquid and allowing for stacking with another liquid container including a body in a cylindrical or drum-like configuration. The body presents a unique design having a circular ridge extending from one side and an elongated portion on the opposite side. The circular ridge includes a lip. A pair of identical liquid containers stack by mating the elongated portion and the circular ridge of opposite liquid containers. The elongated portion slides through the lip, enters the circular ridge and turns offsetting the lip so that the elongated portion remains in the circular ridge. The body includes a neck that receives a spout screw cap. The spout screw cap includes a lid and a first O-ring to seal the spout screw cap when not in use. The liquid container includes a spout that removably connects to the spout screw cap for dispensing liquid stored in the body.

A container includes a base having end edges and side edges. The base includes a plurality of regions including a center region, corner portions, side regions between the corner portions and between the center portion and the side edges, and end regions between the corner portions and between the center portion and the end edges. The center region is reinforced differently from the side regions, end regions, and corner regions. The corner regions are reinforced differently from the side regions and the end regions. The center region has no ribs protruding downwardly. A plurality of walls extending upward from the side edges and the end edges of the base.

A modular flooring system comprises a modular floor surface and a plurality of stackable, three-dimensional modular interior design components (MIDCs). The modular door surface can comprise an array of discrete, raised, low-profile, receiving panels that can be rectangular in shape. MIDCs can be securely and interchangeably placed on any group of one or more adjacent unoccupied receiving panel and they east also be stackable, such that various different floor layouts can be created. Bach of the MIDCs may comprise a lower surface recess that fits over a group of one or more adjacent raised receiving panels. A first MIDC may have an raised lip on a top surface such that the lower surface recess of a second MIDC fits over, separately and interchangeably, one (or more) of the raised receiving panels and the raised lip on the top surface of the first MIDC. The MIDCs can comprise a storage cube MIDC (square or rectangular cube) as well as specialized MIDCs, such as a commode MIDC, a sink MIDC, a cooler MIDC, and a tile MIDC, etc. In such a manner, a user of the modular flooring system could locate the MIDCs on the floor surface and/or stack them to configure a preferred layout. Moreover, the MIDCs could be rearranged later to design a new layout.

A container for storing liquids includes a top, a bottom, and a body. The top is a first recessed surface surrounded by a raised edge, the first recessed surface having a secondary recessed surface with a pull tab configured to engage a punchout opening to open the container. The bottom is a second recessed surface surrounded by a second raised edge, and the second raised edge configured to fit inside the first raised edge of the top. The body is a polygon with at least four sides extending vertically from the top to the bottom and at least the body is comprised of biobased polymer materials.

A modular storage system of connectable, heavy-duty storage boxes, crates, rolling carts and/or dollies, work surfaces, organizers, trays, accessories is provided for internal and external item storage and organization and convenient access for use and transport, that is expandable, customizable and readily adaptable. Storage boxes have different sizes by length, width and/or height and have universal box-to-box connection system for stacking and connection to mounting accessories. Boxes have removable, customizable organization inserts (e.g., dividers, storage trays, bins, alignment trays for bins, and bins of different sizes). Box lid rib grid with bosses and undercuts expands internal organization, including cooperation with dual purpose dividers and accessories. Boxes have external mounting accessories to expand external organization. Different housing modes are provided including wall mount systems for wall or side of a truck or van, and different transport modes are provided (e.g., base box with wheels, or on a dolly or a cart).

A height-adjustable storage container includes a lower container frame and an upper container frame. The lower container frame includes a base and four lower walls extending from the base. The upper container frame includes four upper walls. Each of the upper walls at least partially overlaps a respective one of the four lower walls. The storage container includes a connection structure for connecting the lower container frame and the upper container frame together, and which allows the relative positioning of the lower container frame and the upper container frame to be adjusted to change the height of the height-adjustable storage container.

A bin assembly, bin identification system and method are disclosed. A container bin assembly includes a bin body, a latching mechanism, and controller. A method includes receiving, via a communication interface, an authenticated request to access the smart container, actuating an electromechanical latch to disengage a fastening hook, thereby initiating a mechanical movement of an access component to make an internal compartment accessible, outputting, via an audiovisual element, an alert to identify the container, confirming that the electromechanical latch has re-engaged with the fastening hook, thereby securing the internal compartment, determining a change in a local inventory, and updating the local inventory in a non-volatile data store according to the change.

A crate includes a base and a plurality of walls extending upward from the base. A plurality of ventilation channels are formed in the base. The ventilation channels project upward relative to an upper support surface of the base. The ventilation channels include apertures therethrough.

The invention relates to a stacking container (1) for the temperature controlled transport of food, comprising an outer container (3) with an outer container base (31) and an outer container wall (32) which are connected together so as to form a receiving area (33) which is open on one side. The stacking container (1) additionally comprises an inner container (2) with an inner container base (21) and an inner container wall (22) which are connected together so as to form a container area (23) which is open on one side. The inner container wall (22) comprises an upper edge section (221), and the outer container base (31) comprises a lower edge section (311), said upper edge section and lower edge section being designed in a complementary manner in order to engage into each other when stacking containers (1) are stacked one over the other such that the outer container base (31) of an upper stacking container (1) in the stack forms a cover for a stacking container (1) arranged therebelow, and a vacuum insulating element (5) is arranged between the inner container wall (22) and the outer container wall (32) and between the inner container base (21) and the outer container base (31).

A stackable storage crate has a main body with a first side wall, a second side wall, a front wall, and a rear wall, an upper section, and a bottom section. The upper section has a top lip and an inner surface. The inner surface has a repeating sequence of lands and channels. The bottom section has a ridge with a matching shape that corresponds with and is configured to be disposed adjacent the repeating sequence of lands and channels of the inner surface of another stackable storage crate when in a stacked assembly.
