Systems and methods are provided for a container which may be assembled in a single motion. In one example, a method may include pulling a drawstring through a drawstring channel opening in a first panel of the container, wherein pulling the drawstring: folds each of a first triangular panel, a second triangular panel, a third triangular panel and a fourth triangular panel in half towards an interior of the container; lifts each of the first panel, the second panel, the third panel, and the fourth panel towards the interior of the container to a vertical position; and securing the drawstring to hold the container in an assembled configuration.

A composite container having a paperboard hollow body with top and bottom open ends. The body is formed by a sidewall with inner and outer surfaces. The composite container includes a body liner extending peripherally about the inner surface of the body and a base connectable to the bottom open end of the hollow body. The base includes a sidewall sized and shaped to fit snugly within the bottom open end of the body. The sidewall is permanently coupled to a bottom portion of the liner. The composite container also includes a collar connectable to the top open end of the hollow body. The collar has a peripheral portion that abuts the top open end and an inner circumferential flange sized and shaped to fit snugly within the top open end of the body. The inner circumferential flange is permanently coupled to a top portion of the liner. The peripheral portion has regions of weakened strength so that the section of the peripheral portion that abuts the top open end can be removed, thereby allowing a user to rapidly remove the coupled collar, liner and base from the hollow body.

A container with a handle includes a container body. The container body has a peripheral edge extending outward to form a ring portion. The ring portion is provided with a first slot penetrating through the ring portion. The first slot cuts the ring portion to form a first handle portion and a first edge portion completely connected to the container body. In addition, the ring portion is further provided with a second slot penetrating through the ring portion. The first slot and the second slot are respectively located on two opposite sides of the ring portion. The second slot cuts the ring portion to form a second handle portion and a second edge portion completely connected to the container body. The first handle portion and the second handle portion each have two ends connected to the container body and may be pulled up as the handle.

A container lid can include: a body having an opening formed therethrough; a sipping member rotatably coupled to the body, a passageway formed through an interior of the sipping member so as to extend from a proximal end of the sipping member to a distal end of the sipping member, the sipping member configured to rotate between a stowed position in which the passageway and the opening are misaligned, such that the opening is sealed, and a released position in which the passageway and the opening are aligned; and a flexible handle connected at a first end to the sipping member and rotatably coupled at a second end to the body via a pivot pin. The handle can be configured such that a substantially downward force exerted on the handle causes rotation of the sipping member toward the released position.

A container including a rigid base and one or more rigid lateral walls, the lateral wall being perimetrically continuous, such that the lateral wall and the base define a cavity. The cavity allows for the storage and transportation of contents, such as sand, rocks, building materials, paints, and other liquids. The container includes a set of flanges on an exterior side of the one or more lateral walls, with the flanges providing attachment points for a set of handles. When the set of handles are secured to the flanges, a user can easily grip the handles to transport the container to a new location. In addition, the container includes a circumferential lip that extends below the base, such that a user can easily grasp the lip at different locations to maneuver the container, without forcing the user to grip a specific handle on the bottom of the container.

The present invention is directed to a fully self contained, portable apparatus specifically designed for storing, cooling, transporting both upright or on the side, and dispensing a beverage, such as beer, from a Sixth barrel of Cornelius keg.

This invention is a portable beverage cooler that dispenses two kinds of beverages within the same cooler. This is possible by dividing the cooler in the middle with a single partition to separate the two beverages. Both sides have a separate and detachable lid for adding the desired beverage. It is designed as a tall rectangle shape with handles to make it easy to carry to a location and transport from a vehicle. Durable plastic for the product material is used to keep the container weight light enough to carry. The beverage cooler is propped up at waist high onto a table for easy access. Each side of the cooler has a valve to dispense the beverage. A cup is placed below the valve to release the desired beverage into the cup. Lids can be removed separately to confine the beverage to the section, when more beverage is added to the cooler and for easy access.
