A container for transporting a compressed block of tobacco (18) comprises rectangular bottom top front rear and two side walls (2,4,1,3,5,6) which are formed of pliable sheets of non-shape sustaining fabric, such as woven polypropylene. The top wall (4) is connectable by a sliding clasp fastener (9,10,11,12) along three of its edges to the adjacent upper edges of adjacent walls.

An easily-opened container includes a container body with an opening portion and a lid cooperating with the opening portion. The lid has a central lid portion and a peripheral portion located outside this lid portion and sealingly and permanently fixed to the opening portion for closing the container. The central lid portion and the peripheral portion are separated from one another by a weakened portion which extends in the circumferential direction of the opening portion and at least partially ...

A container having opposing ends joined by a closing member, which closing member carries (a) a plurality of spread-apart ribs that radially encompass the periphery of the closing member, and (2) a plurality of radial sub-portions between adjacent ribs which sub-portions encompass the periphery of the closing member and a plurality of facets carried by the sub-portions.

A container for a fuel system additive. The container comprises a sealable first part (1) for storing the fuel system additive and a second part (2) that is capable of opening a flap on a vehicle's fuel tank. the two parts are capable of relative movement which unseals the first part (1) so that the fuel system additive can leave the first part (1) and travel through the second part (2) into a vehicle's fuel tank. the container avoids or reduces spillage of the fuel system additive.

The present inventors have discovered a new vent which can be used in a venting closure and particularly in venting closures for large heavy duty liquid detergent and other liquid laundry product containers. In one embodiment, the vent comprises a wall, a vent opening in the wall, and one or more spacers on the surface of a face of the wall. Most especially the spacers are protuberances, especially rounded protuberances. A liner is adhered to a portion of the surface of the face and spaced from ...

A container for receiving and transporting dust free articles which is opened and closed by inserting a positioning pin and a key in an opener mechanism into a positioning hole and a key hole provided in a cover, with a tapered surface formed on an upper inner surface of the positioning hole, and with a floating mechanism disposed in the key hole. According to the above container, the positioning pin and key are easily inserted, and the cover is smoothly closed.

A wall structure for a container includes at least one band member which extends at least partially across the length of the wall structure proximate an upper surface of the wall structure and oriented substantially parallel thereto. The band member has a wave-like cross-section with a plurality of first peaks, adjacent and opposing second peaks, and inclined members extending between the plurality of first and second peaks. The plurality of first peaks of the wave defines a first surface of the...

A container has a chamber (10) for liquid, a pouring opening (30) in the upper part of the chamber and having an essentially vertical longitudinal axis, and a handle (20) arranged above the chamber. In the handle there is an air duct (22), which at a first end emerges in the chamber and at a second end emerges in the pouring opening. In the pouring opening, a wall (34) is placed between a part (36) for liquid which is connected to the chamber and a part (38) for air in which the second end of th...

A container adapted for storing and transporting an item having a shape includes a flexible bottom panel which has an upper surface upon which the item is supported, and a lower surface having a plurality of parallel, spaced apart ribs with a relatively thin-walled section between each adjacent pair of ribs. The flexible bottom panel is adapted to conform to the shape of the item resting thereon.

A container for connection to pole. The container includes a receptacle and a releasable clamp. The releasable clamp has a C-shape and is integrally molded with the receptacle of a shape memory material. The arms of the C-clamp deflect outwardly to allow the container to be attached onto the pole in a direction that is transverse to the pole axis. When the arms surround the pole, they produce a frictional force that holds the container in position along the pole.
