Collapsible Storage Container
Various aspects of the disclosure generally relate to a collapsible storage container with multiple sleeves. In some implementations a two-sleeve variant is described. In some implementations a three-sleeve variant is described. Both variants may be used to contain appropriately sized and shaped objects, for example bread, maps, posters, blueprints, plans, etc.
Modular system for inventory and transport efficiency of packaging
Disclosed herein are modular container systems having child-resistant containers, tray inserts and tray frames. Also disclosed are methods using the modular container systems and methods of storing substances in containers. The containers have a container base and a container cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the container cap from container base with a squeeze and lift sequence. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container base, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The components of the modular container system are modular and stackable. The modular system allow for organized, efficient, accessible and storage of the child-resistant containers. The modular container system also allows for easy counting, sorting and processing of the containers.
Transformative extender and method thereof
An embodiment of a box is configured to be transformed to include a tapered structure configured such that when the transformed box is inserted into the receptacle, the tapered structure provides a universal fit. An embodiment of an extender is formed by steps including providing a single piece of material having a first edge and a second edge and forming, by cutting the single piece of material, at least one top extension extending from at least one wall and at least one bottom extension extending from the at least one wall such that the at least one top extension is foldable to abut the at least one wall. A method for collecting waste materials includes providing a receptacle and a box, and disrupting the extender. An embodiment of an extender comprises a first wall, a second wall, a third wall, and a fourth wall.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HANDLING AND SORTING GARMENT ITEMS FOR STORE REPLENISHMENT
Warehouse automation and methods of sorting and sequencing garment items can be used to enhance efficiencies of order fulfillment processes. For example, this document describes warehouse automation of systems and methods for efficiently compiling store replenishment orders for garment items. The systems and methods make store replenishment of garment items highly efficient. In some examples, the systems and methods are focused on automation (e.g., using autonomous mobile robots that transport pods containing garment items) and arranging the garment items in store-ready containers that can be wheeled out directly into the retail area for efficient store replenishment.
INTERLOCKING REUSABLE SPILL-PROOF CONTAINERS
A kit made up of a plurality of interlocking spill-proof containers including a first container and a second container. The first container includes a petri having a body with a top opening, at least one cavity, a bottom and at least one magnet, a jacket that at least partially envelops the body, and a cap configured for placement over the petr. The second container includes a petri having a body with a top opening, at least one cavity, a bottom and at least one magnet, a jacket that at least partially envelops the body, a cap configured for placement over the petri, and at least one center section disposed between the petri and the cap. The first and second containers are releasably attached to each other via the magnets contained by the first and second containers.
EXPANDING STORAGE BAGS
A thermoplastic bag includes raised rib-like elements that allow the thermoplastic bag to expand. The thermoplastic bag further includes side seals having rib-like elements that allow the side seals to expand. Additionally, in one or more implementations, the thermoplastic bag includes one or more of a material formulation, a density of raised rib-like elements, a height of raised rib-like elements, or land areas that provide the raised rib-like elements with a reduced rebound ratio.

Dispenser with self-deployable telescopic actuator
A dispensing apparatus for semiliquid and pasty goods divided in two complementary sections being the upper section represented by a package such as a container, fitted with a dispensing nozzle and having an open access at its bottom end through which a self-deployable telescopic actuator comprising threaded tubes and lodged at the lower section of the dispenser is introduced for pushing the stored goods towards the dispensing nozzle.
CONTAINERS
A container includes a lid base and a compressible portion. The lid base has a channel and configured to receive a lid. The compressible portion is connected to the lid base. The compressible portion includes a one-way valve in air communication with the channel. Another container includes a compressible portion and a container base. The compressible portion includes a bellow body, which includes at least two convolutions, each including a first living hinge and a first sidewall, at least one second living hinge positioned between the at least two convolutions and connected to the first sidewalls, and a movable bump structure positioned between the at least two convolutions to space the first living hinges apart and being movable between an outer position and an inner position relative to a container interior.
