A door and locking system for a rear opening of a long bed trailer, the rear opening having a top edge, a bottom edge and first and second side edges, the door and locking system has a canvas door configured for mounting adjacent to the rear opening of the long bed trailer. The canvas door can move between a closed position in which the canvas door moves to close the rear opening and an open position in which the canvas door moves to open the rear opening. A locking system secured to the edges of the rear opening can move between a locked position, in which the locking system is in locking engagement with the canvas door in the closed position to secure the canvas door against the edges of the rear opening to close the opening for retaining fluidizable product in the long bed trailer and an unlocked position, in which the locking system is free from locking engagement with the canvas door to allow the canvas door to move into the open position.

The present disclosure is a soft-shell cargo container that is ideal for “do-it-yourself” transport. The cargo container, which may be useful in a pickup truck bed, includes a single piece of a flexible shell material that defines a base panel, a front wall panel, back wall panel, two side wall panels, a top cover panel, and a tailgate panel. The cargo container is flexible and therefore adaptable to cover bulky or awkwardly shaped cargo. The cargo in the cargo container can be secured via interior fasteners, like loops, hooks, straps, and dividers. The cargo container can also be waterproof, fire retardant, puncture proof, and lockable. Thus, the cargo container protects belongings therein from weather damage, debris, and theft.

The disclosure is directed to a connector assembly mechanically interconnecting first and second structural entities of an aircraft container. The connector assembly has first and second connector parts fastened to the first and second structural entities, respectively. In a connected state, relative movement of the second connector part is restricted with respect to the first connector part in a first direction along a first axis of action. The connector assembly has a force-limiting arrangement in a connected state that limits relative movement of the second connector part with respect to the first connector part in a second direction opposite to the first direction. When an external force is applied to the second connector part and the external force has a first force component acting in the second direction and exceeding a threshold force the force-limiting arrangement allows the second connector part to move relative to the first connector part.

A flexible tank fillable with a liquid having a base and at least one enclosing wall. The base has an upper surface and a lower surface, and defines a plurality of edges and a perimeter. The enclosing wall extends about the base and is attached thereto to, together with the base, define an enclosure. The inner brace assembly comprises at least one inner support member having a base wall attachment side and an encasing wall attachment side. The base wall attachment side is attached to the base spaced apart from the perimeter. The encasing wall attachment side is attached to the at least one enclosing wall spaced apart from the base fold.

A container for the transport and storage of goods includes an internal fillable tank and an external support structure surrounding the tank. The external support structure has a base structure arranged below the tank, such that a base of the tank is supported on the base structure. The external support structure also has an upper support structure arranged above the tank for absorbing loads exerted on the tank from above. The base structure includes a plurality of lower column portions, and the upper support structure includes a plurality of corresponding upper column portions, which each project from opposing faces of the base structure and the upper support structure respectively and which meet somewhere along the height of the tank, thereby forming a number of columns for laterally supporting the tank.

The invention is directed to a flexible and collapsible extended-length bulk bin. The bulk bin includes two molded plastic end pieces that are connected at each side to each by metal rails. A bottom panel and two side wall panels are also positioned between the two molded plastic end pieces.

A container suitable for use in a shipment of a cargo by air may include a container body having a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall and oppositely disposed side walls and defining a cargo space within the container. The container body may be fabricated as a structure that is a compliant unit load device (ULD) container meeting specified aviation authority structural requirements. A passive temperature control system is located within the cargo space and may have a plurality of insulation panels connected to inner surfaces of the walls of the container body, at least one rack proximate a corresponding wall of the container body, and a plurality of refrigerant bottles filled with a thermal medium and received by the at least one rack to passively maintain a cargo space temperature in the cargo space during the shipment of the cargo.

A flexible tank fillable with a liquid having a base and at least one enclosing wall. The base has an upper surface and a lower surface, and defines a plurality of edges and a perimeter. The enclosing wall extends about the base and is attached thereto to, together with the base, define an enclosure. The inner brace assembly comprises at least one inner support member having a base wall attachment side and an encasing wall attachment side. The base wall attachment side is attached to the base spaced apart from the perimeter. The encasing wall attachment side is attached to the at least one enclosing wall spaced apart from the base fold.

A curtain closure for the cargo opening of an air cargo container and the air cargo containers that have the same. The curtain closures include a fabric layer, and at least one of an insulating layer or a reinforcing layer attached to the inside of the fabric layer.

A collapsible container wherein the left side panel is hingedly connected to the top panel and includes at least one strut, one end of the strut being pivotally connected at an intermediate point along the end edge of the left panel, the other end of the strut being pivotally connected to the bottom panel; the right side panel being hingedly connected to the bottom panel and includes at least one strut, one end of the strut being pivotally connected at an intermediate point along the end edge of the side panel, the other end of the strut being pivotally connected to the top panel, such that the container is moveable between a collapsed configuration and an erect configuration, wherein the struts maintain a spaced apart relationship between the edges of the hingedly connected panels and the respective top or bottom panel during such movement.
