Airtight container with an easily detachable cover
An easily detachable airtight container includes a container body, a first upper cover, a second upper cover and a handle. The second upper cover is disposed between the container body and the first upper cover. The first upper cover has an opening, while the second upper cover has a convex block which passes through the opening. The handle includes a body. The body has a first coupling portion, while the convex block has a second coupling portion. The first coupling portion and the second coupling portion may are detachably connected. When the first coupling portion is coupled with the second coupling portion, the first upper cover is sandwiched between the second upper cover and the handle. In the present disclosure, the handle forms a detachable connection with the convex block by means of the coupling portions.
SECURE STORAGE CONTAINER
Secure storage carts are disclosed herein and capable of being assembled and disassembled on-site without common disadvantages that affect storage carts designed for on-site assembly. Secure storage carts disclosed herein may be assembled to a reduced tolerance, eliminating potential points of failure in the assembled cart, and giving the user a more solid feel to the operation. Methods for assembling storage carts are also disclosed herein and can include adjusting the extension depth of a door panel hinge. Methods disclosed herein also may include applying a preloading force to the cart frame, to reduce tolerances between components of the storage cart once assembled. Kits are also provided herein containing the components required to assemble the cart on-site, in configurations that may be easily transported to and from the job site when disassembled. Kits also may provide for straightforward and secure assembly of the carts.
APPARATUS AND CONTAINER FOR ENABLING LIFTING AND MANIPULATION OF NURSERY STOCK BY AN ADJUSTABLE LIFT
A plant transportation system is disclosed. At a high level, the system includes specially-designed pots which include lift-fixtures, such as eyebolts, which are specially-oriented and aligned to receive poles or tines from a lifting mechanism. In this way, each of at least two tines of a lifting attachment can pass through two lift-fixtures on the pot. In this way, when the lifting attachment rises, the plant in the container remains stable and vertical. Moreover, it also allows the lifting attachment to potentially pass through and hold multiple pots. A vehicle having such a lifting attachment may then transport the plants to a planting site, or to another transportation vehicle such as a flat-bed truck.
Adjustable, two-position support bracket for supporting a work surface
A cooler includes a chest portion and a lid. The chest portion defines a cavity within the chest portion. The lid is also formed of molded plastic and is attached via a hinge along an edge of an opening of the chest portion. The opening of the chest portion is also an opening of the cavity. The cooler assembly also includes a pair of handle assemblies attached to the chest portion on opposite sides. An insertable bracket is configured to hold a handle of a handle assembly in an extended position, extending away from the side of the chest portion at substantially a right angle to the side of the chest portion. The bracket is further configured to retain and hold a panel along a side edge of the opening of the chest portion, and with the panel resting against the extended handle.
Transportation container for ultrasound transducer
Devices and methods for protecting and transporting medical probes including, but not limited to, ultrasound transducers and more specifically ultrasound transducers designed for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). A transport apparatus may include a housing for protecting a control housing of a medical probe and an elongate member extending from the housing. The elongate member may be configured to engage the insertion tube of the probe and maintain an arch shape of the insertion tube during transport to prevent damage from over-flexing of the insertion tube.

Transportable transparent cork-insulated cooler
A cork-insulated cooler having a constant friction hinge assembly is described. The cooler is comprised of an outer basin having an open top, a plurality of cork panels lining the outer basin, a transparent inner basin having an open top which is constructed and arranged to hold and maintain the plurality of cork panels against the outer basin, a lid hingedly connected to the inner and outer basin, such that the lid can be positioned anywhere between a completely closed position to a completely open position and anywhere in between with the lid supporting itself in the chosen position.
Beverage can handle
A beverage can handle includes a first arm having a first end and a second end. The first end includes a protrusion for supporting a first lip of a beverage can. The protrusion is shaped for inhibiting slippage of the first lip of the beverage can off of the protrusion. The beverage can handle also includes a second arm that is slideably coupled to the first arm and extendable from a storage position to an extended position relative to the first end of the first arm. The second arm has a first end and a second end. The first end includes a groove for releasably mating with a second lip of the beverage can when in the extended position. The groove is shaped for inhibiting slippage of the second lip of the beverage can out of the groove when the second arm is in the extended position.
Food and beverage cooler system
A cooler for maintaining food, beverage containers and/or consumable liquids in a thermally managed state. The cooler generally includes a housing having one or more cavities, a cover to selectively close or open the cavities and a plurality of tie down notches within the exterior portion of the housing to receive an elongated fastener for tying down the cooler. The cooler may include a first cavity that receives a food container and a second cavity that receives beverage containers. The first cavity may also store a liquid, such as water, that is dispensed from a spigot connected to the housing. A first cover and a second cover selectively close and open the cavities. The first cover includes a first access opening that removably receives the food container so the first cover doesn't have to be opened to retrieve the food container and its contents.
