Collapsible container
The collapsible container is constructed from semi-rigid to rigid wall panels, such as eight panels, that are held together by fasteners that allow the wall panels to be folded in multiple manners while remaining attached. When in use, the eight panels form side walls, a front wall, a rear wall, and a bottom floor of a basket or container that are attached and rigid. The rigid walls and floor of the container secures, holds, and supports items within the container. When fully opened and ready for use, the bottom panels of the floor are connected to the side wall panels by at least one rigid hook shaped fastener, including two fasteners. When fully collapsed, the eight rigid panels fold so that all eight panels are stacked immediately upon one another.
Portable, deployable container system
A portable deployable container system has structural elements, including a base, a cover, and a set of panels, which can be manipulated into at least two container configurations. In one configuration, a container is formed by releasably securing the cover to the base to define a first volume. Some or all of the panels may be enclosed within such first volume, defining an undeployed configuration for the system. A second configuration involves removably securing some or all of the set of panels to the base and enclosing the panels with the cover, thereby deploying the system and forming a second, deployed configuration enclosing a volume larger than the first volume. Interconnections between the structural elements benefit from duckbill connections which add strength to the configurations by receiving flanges of first elements into corresponding channels of second elements formed by flared walls on such structural elements.
FOLDABLE MODULAR PACKAGING, IN PARTICULAR FOR INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
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).

Modular storage container system
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.
Knockdown containers and displays with optional lighting features
A knockdown container or display in the shape of a 3-dimensional container is provide which comprises of two main element types, namely Sheet elements and Edge elements. In this design, all of the main elements of the container are joined one to another by sliding with respect to each other in a sequence that make an open or closed display or container that can easily assembled or disassembled. In particular, the edges of the Sheet elements have a shape that is fitted into matching slots of the Edge elements. The position and orientation of elements are such that they securely restrict unwanted movement of the elements with respect to one another, while minimizing the number of needed fasteners or number of additional restricting components needed to secure the Edge elements.
STORAGE CONTAINER, A SYSTEM COMPRISING ONE OR MORE OF THE STORAGE CONTAINERS AND METHODS OF ASSEMBLING THE STORAGE CONTAINERS
A storage container, which is for an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS), is configured to be stacked in a stack of storage containers where an underlying storage container supports the storage container(s) positioned above. The storage container is adapted to be lifted by grippers on a lifting device such that the storage container can be lifted from above. The storage container includes a base, four sides, and four corner posts. The four sides are each hingedly connected to an edge of the base. The four corner posts are each configured to interconnect a pair of adjacent sides to each other in a horizontal direction when the sides are positioned substantially 90 degrees relative the base and relative each other.
FASTENER-TYPE FULLY-FOLDABLE STORAGE BASKET
This invention discloses a fastener-type, fully-foldable storage basket comprising a base plate and four panels, including, a left panel, a right panel, a front panel and a rear panel. Each two adjacent panels are connected rotationally; the opposite sides of at least a pair of adjacent panels are connected in a separable and rotational manner through fasteners; the base plate is rotationally connected with the bottom part of the left panel, the right panel, the front panel or the rear panel; and support parts used for supporting the base plate are arranged at the bottom parts of the other three panels. The firmness, foldability and similar qualities of the structure are not affected and the storage basket can be folded completely to reduce the occupied area to that of one single panel; and, accordingly, the occupied space of the storage basket is efficiently and effectively minimized.
Foldable basket, method of manufacture, and method of use of same
A foldable basket, attachment mechanism and/or method of manufacturing the same.
