A structure of a storage box includes a main body, a stacking assembly, and a forward opening. The main body has an upper and front-facing opening and a recess on the rear. The stacking assembly is attached to the main body, covers the upper and front-facing opening, and has an upper cover and a front cover, the upper cover fitted to the front cover with a snap and having a convex portion, the shape of the convex portion identical to the shape of the recess. The forward opening is a part of the upper and front-facing opening of the main body and is covered by the front cover. When two or more storage boxes are stacked, the convex portion of the second storage box embeds the recess of the first storage box, preventing the entire structure from tilting forward when the front cover of the storage box above is opened.

The bin with flip lid device includes a main body and lid having a first portion and a second portion. The main body includes a plurality of sides, an upper surface, and a bottom surface. The main body further has a first handle arrangement and a second handle arrangement. Each of the handle arrangements are disposed on opposite sides of the upper surface of the main body. Each of the first portion and the second portion of the lid are also disposed on opposite sides of the upper surface of the main body. Each of the first portion and the second portion are hingedly connected along the upper surface of the main body. Each of the first portion and the second portion have at least one tooth which is configured to nest into a corresponding recess in each of the opposite lids where the device is in a closed position.

A tote and tote system providing for more efficient retail order pick-ups is disclosed. In certain embodiments, a tote may include a rear panel, a front panel, and a bottom panel for supporting one or more retail items. The tote may further include a first and a second side panel. The tote may further include one or more hand holds disposed upon one or more of the first panel, the second panel, the rear panel, and the front panel. The tote may further include one or more bale arms positioned across a top of the tote and an opening for accessing the one or more retail items of the tote. The one or more bale arms may extend from the first side panel to the second side panel.

A coupling for assembling at least two beverage cans together, comprising at least a pair of collar portions, each to slidably receive a corresponding end region of one of the beverage cans, the collar portions being configured to engage the beverage cans for associated games and/or other amusement activities.

Embodiments of this disclosure include a rigid tray container and methods and equipment for using the rigid tray container in batched process operations. In one embodiment, a mass container is sized and dimensioned to receive one or several rigid tray containers. In other embodiments, equipment is configured to lid/unlid, secure, stack, load/unload, and buffer rigid tray containers. In other embodiments, equipment is configured to stack and stage mass containers. In some embodiments, methods are provided for batch processing items.

A tote and tote system providing for more efficient retail order pick-ups is disclosed. In certain embodiments, a tote may comprise a bottom panel for supporting one or more retail items, a rear panel and a front panel, wherein the front panel comprises an opening for accessing the one or more retail items of the tote, a first and a second side panel, and one or more bale arms positioned across a top of the tote, wherein the one or more bale arms each comprise a substantially horizontal portion extending from the first side panel to the second side panel, such that the one or more bale arms are operable to support another tote stacked on top of the tote.

A lid arrangement (20) comprises first and second lids (22) for use in a container (12) comprising a wall arrangement (16). Each lid (22) is movable between open and closed positions. Each lid (22) comprises opposite first and second edges (124, 126), and a plurality of rib formations (132) extending transverse to the aforesaid edges (124, 126). When the first and second lids (22) are In the closed positions, the rib formations (132) of the first lid (22) overlap the rib formations (132) of the second lid (22), so that each rib formation (132) of the first lid (22) extends parallel to, and alongside, a corresponding rib formation (132) of the second lid (22) to provide a line of support (S) that extends across the lid arrangement (20) from the first edge (124) of the first lid (22) to the first edge (124) of the second lid (22).

The invention relates to the field of logistics, and discloses a logistics apparatus and a method for identifying empty/full state of the logistics apparatus, which efficiently and accurately realizes automatic recognition of empty and full state. The invention includes: a base and side plates at four sides; a foldable mechanism being provided between the base and each side plate so that the side plates can be folded toward the base; and a short-range wireless transmitter module and a short-range wireless receiver module being respectively disposed on the base and at least one side plate; the short-range wireless transmitter module is configured to transmit a wireless signal indicating the identification of the logistics apparatus; and an arbiter, configured to determine whether the short-range wireless receiver module can currently receive the identifier transmitted by the short-range wireless transmitting module, and if yes, outputting an electrical signal indicating an empty state, otherwise, outputting an electrical signal indicating a full state.

A security bin formed from a commercially available rectangular plastic bin having removable lids that are secured to the bin to prevent unauthorized access to the items placed therein. The lids are locked with a tamperproof flap and latching hook to prevent access to the bin contents. Plexiglass windows allow viewing of materials placed within the bin. Spring pins allow ease of lid movement for access to the bin contents, or allow removal of the windows to allow stacking for storage and shipping. An optional scanner can be mounted to one of the lids for recording and tracking of storage media placed within the bin.

A plastic container (1) with two lid halves (5a, 5b) rotatable about a hinge (6a, 6b) has on the inner surface (5c) of the lid halves hooks (7) arranged in a row adjacent to and along the hinges (6a, 6b). Each hook (7) extends parallel to and spaced apart from the lid half (5a, 5b) and includes a recess having an opening facing and toward the distal end (12a, 12b) and a two-sided undercut. The undercuts allow the placement of one or more bags (8) having two straps (9) inside the container (1) such that the bags (8) are held open. When the lid halves (5a, 5b) are closed the straps (9) remain in place and held by the hooks (7). The invention may be used by shoppers shopping large amounts, which may be placed in the bags. Several containers of this kind may be stacked when their lids closed.
