Implementations disclosed and claimed herein provide a customized storage system. In one implementation, a folding crate movable between a storage position and a collapsed position is provided. One or more customizable and modular attachments to the storage crates may be provided to attaching to or otherwise mating with a side of a crate. The modular attachments may include a universal connector that connects to an opening in any side of a storage crate and one or more accessories that mate with the universal connector, with each of the accessories having a specific use or utility, such as a cup holder accessory, a handle accessory, a tool holder accessory, and the like.

Folding transport container intended mainly for transport of materials, goods, and other cargo, comprising the base, side panels with side uprights (2, 3), where these panels have pivot links with edges of the base and lock-release mechanism (1). The lock-release mechanism is placed inside the side upright (2) of the first side panel and includes the lever (4) with catch (5) and spring (6), wherein the lever (4) is placed in rotary fashion inside the side upright (2) of the first side panel using fixed axis (7) so that one end of the lever (4) is placed within the hollow 1 (8) of the side upright (2) of the first side panel, while the other end of the lever (2) has fixed link to a catch (5), which is placed inside the hollow 2 (9) of the side upright (2) of the first side panel. The side upright (3) of the adjacent side panel is equipped with an opening (10), whose shape and dimensions are adapted to the shape and dimensions of the catch (5) and it is in one plane with the catch (5). The spring (6) is linked to the lever (4).

A modular and scalable box/container system comprises square or rectangular panels having holes on all four sides, an extension-flat-angled connector for extending a vertically-oriented panel by securing it to another vertically-oriented panel, a corner-flat-angled connector for securing two vertical panels in a square corner configuration, a corner-angled-angled connector for securing a vertically-oriented panel to a horizontally-oriented panel, and an extension-angled-angled connector for extending a horizontally-oriented panel by securing it to another horizontally-oriented panel. The system further comprises bolts and nuts, or other hardware, for securing panels to connectors.

A collapsible crate and a method for synchronizing a method of assembling a collapsible crate are provided. The collapsible crate comprising a base, a first panel, a second panel, and a band style fastener. The first panel and the second panel are at least partially disposed within gaps between stringers of the base. The band style fastener is disposed about a portion of the base and a portion of one of the first panel and the second panel. The band style fastener secures the one of the first panel and the second panel to the base. The first panel and the second panel at least partially disposed in the base facilitates a transition fit therebetween. The collapsible crate is compact when the crate is collapsed and decreases a cost of the crate.

The present invention concerns a foldable modular packaging (1), characterised in that it comprises: at least four panels (10) that can be moved between a folded position, in which the panels (10) are stacked on each other, and an unfolded position, in which the panels (10) form a parallelepiped frame (11) defining an internal volume (12); a flexible inner container (20) suitable for being arranged in said internal volume (12); and an assembly system (30) comprising linking elements (31) forming a pivot link between each panel (10) and at least one adjacent panel (10).

A roof for a modular shipping container is provided. The modular shipping container includes a first end wall, a second end wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall. The roof includes a roof sheet having a top surface and defining a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side. The roof further includes a pair of skid plate assembles. One of the pair of skid plate assembles is arranged along the first side of the roof sheet, and the other of the pair of skid plate assemblies is arranged along the second side of the roof sheet. The pair of skid plate assemblies partially extend over the top surface of the roof sheet. The roof sheet is formed of a unitary piece of material.

The present invention is a waste container that includes: a substantially quadrilateral base member having a perimeter edge; a front panel extending substantially vertically from the base; a rear panel extending substantially vertically from the base, wherein the front and rear panel are disposed opposite one another; a first side panel extending substantially vertically from the base; a second side panel extending substantially vertically from the base. The first side and second side panels are disposed opposite one another; and the front, rear, first side and second side panels which abut one another are detachably interconnected. The waste container further includes: a panel attachment member along the perimeter edge of the base; a base attachment member along the edge of the front, rear, first side and second side panel that contact the base member, where the panel and base attachment members are adapted to interconnect; and where the container is adapted to separate into a detached base and side panels. The container permits the user the ability to assemble and disassemble the container for easy cleaning and portability.

The present invention discloses a novel apparatus and way for securing components of a shipping container. A locking mechanism is provided having a pin, spur gear and main gear coupled together and controlled by a handle such that rotation of the handle causes rotation of the gears and translation of a locking pin used to secure adjacent components of the container.

A resilient metal clip is suitable for use in securing adjacent panels of a knock-down structure, for example a collapsible container, to one another. The resilient clip includes two legs that extend away from one another, the two legs being resiliently connected to one another at one end in order for the legs to be resiliently displaceable relative to one another. Each leg has a free end, with the free ends terminating in panel engagement formations. A disengagement member is displaceably connected to one of the legs, and is displaceable relative to the leg between a rest position in which it does not interfere with an engagement formation provided on the leg, and a release position in which at least part of the disengagement member exerts a release force on the engagement formation of the leg.

Provided is a modular storage container system, kit, and method of using that includes standardized panels, joining protrusions, rods and corner blocks to form a durable multi-functional modular storage.
