According to one embodiment, a container comprises a basket and a lid. The basket has a base, a pair of sidewalls, and a pair of endwalls. The base, pair of sidewalls, and pair of endwalls are integrally connected. The pair of sidewalls and the pair of endwalls integrally extend outwardly to form a first latching portion. The base forms a concave channel, a first concave region, and a second concave region. The concave channel extends along a major axis of the base. The first concave region exte...

A container is made in two stages from thermoplastics material. In the first stage a preform (1) is injection moulded, the mould parts easily releasing a tubular body (2) with a closed end and an outwardly projecting rim (3) at the open end. In the second stage the still heated preform (1) is blow moulded, possibly with some preliminary mechanical stretching, with the blow pin (13) seated in the open end of the body (2) and the preform (1) held by the other part (7) of its rim. The wall of the b...

The invention discloses a container, usable as an ash-tray and/or as a food container, comprising first and second members removable secured together. The second member can be permanently or removably secured to a supporting surface. The first and second members are secured together by a locking device.

A container is made in two stages from material such as thermoplastics that is deformable when heated. In the first stage a preform (1) is injection moulded, the mould parts easily releasing a tubular body (2) with a closed end. In the second stage the still heated preform (1) is blow moulded, possibly with some preliminary mechanical stretching, the blow pin being applied to the open end. The closed end of the body is stretched over a multi-part section (7, 8) of the mould which shapes the base...

Molded and or cast cylindrical container of suitable plastic or the like of the standard 55 gallon (U.S.) tight head universal drum outward dimensional appearance that has lifting recesses and yokes provided for handling by trolley, fork lift vehicle or the like, nozzles arranged for total container liquid content drainage either in the horizontal and or vertical position, blanked nozzle connections with aperture cutout removal innovation for use when and as desired, openings at the top chime fo...

A composite product made of a blank of e.g. paper, card, plastics or metal foil, and a peripheral injection moulding of synthetic plastics material, formed on the periphery of the blank. The blank is formed adjacent its periphery to form a channel in which the inner region of the moulding engages the outer region extending from the inner region in the direction in which the internal surfaces of the channel face. Shrinkage of the moulding will tend to cause the blank to bow in the direction in wh...

A container requiring more than one operation to open, which comprises a hollow body, a lid for the body, the lid being releasably engaged such that the body is closed, and a marked member that is moveable between a first position at which the mark is hidden and the lid is engaged, and a second position at which the mark is visible and the lid is releasable.

A can end 50 is attached to a flange 16 of a can body 1 by means of a double seam. The radius r.sub.2 of the seaming panel 55 of the can end is related to the radius r.sub.1 of the body flange radius 17 by the formula where t is the thickness of the body flange. The benefit arising is that a longer body hook in the seam is achieved so that the overlap of body hook and can end is reliably increased so that reduced axial pressure may be used during formation of the double seam.

A container, such as for delivering merchandise to retail stores has an internal space partly defined by a partition 22 which is movable to allow the size of the container space to be varied to suit different goods. For instance, when carrying eggs, the partition can be moved to allow different sizes of egg box to be held without movement, thus reducing vulnerability of the eggs to damage during transport.

A method of assembling a platform-based container comprising a base having at least one longitudinal beam, wherein the method comprises pre-loading the longitudinal beam, prior to the completion of the assembly of the container. The beam is then used in the assembly of the container, resulting in a container which no longer takes a permanent deformation under maximum load.
