A plastic container comprises a container body having an opening to an interior of the container body; and a lid constructed and arranged for removably coupling to the container body, the lid comprising: a base portion covering a first region of the opening of the container body; a movable portion covering a second region of the opening of the container body in a closed position and exposing the opening to the interior of the container body in an open position; and a hinge arrangement between the base portion and the movable portion, wherein the movable portion is constructed and arranged to rotate about an axis along which the hinge arrangement extends, and relative to the base portion, wherein the base portion and the movable portion each extends at a predetermined height above the opening of the container body to increase a volume of an interior of the container to be greater than the interior of the container body.

A collapsible crate or container movable between an erect configuration and a collapsed configuration, has a crate member having an upper peripheral rim, a bottom member, two hinged and collapsible opposing side walls and two hinged end walls that collectively define an interior volume when the crate member is in the erect configuration, and a lid member with first and second lid portions and a hinge that releasably couples the first and second lid portions. The crate member and the lid member also includes latch member to releasably latch the lid member to the crate member in a use/deployed position and a stowed position.

The tamper evident container includes a base with a base hinge panel and a lid with a lid hinge panel. A hinge connects the panels. A frangible line extends from an edge of the lid hinge panel to a first point on the panel and then outwardly to the hinge. The frangible line crosses the hinge and extends inwardly to a second point on the base hinge panel. From the second point the frangible line extends to an edge of the base hinge panel. When the container is initially sealed, the frangible line separates upon the application of an upwardly directed force to a first portion of the lid hinge panel while a second portion of the lid hinge panel is held in a fixed position or moved downwardly. The separation of the frangible line creates two grasping portions that can be used to pull the lid from the base.

A lid for a bucket comprises a center portion and at least one side portion. In some embodiments, the side portion is removably coupled to the center portion. In some embodiments, the side portion is hingedly connected to the center portion and includes at least one cutout suitable for receiving a bail mount of the bucket. The hinged connection between the center portion and the side portion may be on an axis substantially perpendicular to an axis on which plural bail mounts of the bucket lie.

A storage container, comprising a rigid body including a floor, a front wall, a back wall, and side walls, at least one separating wall, and a plurality of fixing elements for removably fixing the separating walls to the storage container. The storage container further comprises a locking element. The container further comprises a plurality of compartments configured to be separated by the separating wall and locked via the locking element. Further, a system comprising a mobile robot and the storage container is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method for secure package delivery employing the system.

A cover for a container, comprising a central web comprising a first web part and a second web part; and a hinge pivotally connecting the first and second web parts; wherein a first one of the web parts comprises at least one rib on an edge thereof facing the hinge, and a second one of the web parts comprises at least one corresponding recess on an edge thereof facing the hinge.

A lid is provided that includes an access opening in a top wall thereof selectively coverable by a pivotable cover. The lid attaches to a foodstuff container and provides access to an interior of the container. The lid achieves this without requiring removal of the lid while also providing an impeded foodstuff dispense path having greater control. The cover pivots between open and closed positions, and in one form, can be secured in one or both positions. This can be achieved by releasably securing the cover to the top wall to hold the cover in the closed position and/or capturing a tab of the cover within a depression in an edge portion of the lid to hold the cover in the open position. The cover can further be integrally attached to the lid so that the cover is generally coplanar with the top wall when in the closed position.

A package has a tray slidably mounted in a carton. The carton has a front access port and at least one catch. The tray has a pair of stops positioned to successively engage at least one catch in order to restrict outward movement of the tray. The tray can be positioned with the pair of stops located inwardly of, and locked in place by, at least one catch. The catch on the carton can be manipulated to clear one of the pair of stops and allow it to move outwardly past the catch.

A storage container is disclosed, which includes: a container body; a folding line enabling folding and unfolding; a cover comprising a first and a second cover provided on the left and right sides of the folding line; a rotary pressing member rotatably provided on or near the folding line; and an elastic element coupled to the outer edge or inner side of the cover, wherein the cover can be inserted into the container body while folded, the cover is unfolded by a rotation of the rotary pressing member in one direction, the rotary pressing member is coupled to the cover so that the elastic element comes tightly contacts the inner wall surface of the container body and the cover maintains an unfolded state, and the cover is folded by a rotation of the rotary pressing member in the other direction so as to be separable from the container body.

A container system having a base and a lid. The base has a bottom and one or more sidewalls extending from the bottom to define an interior volume, the base having a rim at a peripheral edge of the one or more sidewalls, the rim defining a first engagement region. The system also has a lid having a peripheral outer rim defining a second engagement region, the first and second engagement regions dimensioned to releasably engage with each other. The lid has a hinged region having a first hinge about which the lid folds as a first part of the lid is lifted from the base to disengage portions of the first and second engagement regions from one another, to provide access to the interior volume of the base while a second part of the lid on an opposite side of the hinge remains secured and attached to the base.
