Container 10 can at random be erect or pile up.Particularly, this container 10 can pile up and upright state between bi-directional conversion.Can be by a plurality of sidewalls 20 being interconnected and the 22 outside outstanding stackable containers 10 of making from the chassis.The hinge lines of at least one sidewall 20 basically with the plane parallel on chassis 22.Hinge lines is divided into the upper and lower with sidewall 20, when container 10 piling up and upright state between when changing, it is hinged that each part all centers on this hinge lines.Preferred each sidewall 20 all has a hinge lines and/or selectable connecting panel, piles up and erects realizing.The Stackable container 10 of another kind of form see above-mentioned and No. the 5996882nd, the US Patent of authorizing Randall on December in 1999 7 quoted in.If wish to make the container 10 of elastically deformable, then can authorize people such as Muckenfuhs according to January 10 nineteen ninety-five, have the content of No. 5379897 instruction of US Patent of commonly-assigned us with the present invention, make container 10, this patent is incorporated herein by reference.

If desired, if particularly the sidewall 20 of container 10 is stackable, then can further reinforce this container 10 selectively.Sidewall 20 can be reinforced with upright supporter, and this supporter can take off from sidewall 20 under the situation of separating with container 10 need not.Supporter can be changed between the second place of the primary importance of side wall reinforcement 20 and non-side wall reinforcement 20.This supporter can be in junction and container 10 hinged securement near chassis 22 and each sidewall 20.

Ruggedized construction also can comprise the supporting member on chassis 22.The supporting member on chassis 22 is crossed over chassis 22, and preferably crosses over its major axis.If desired, the supporting member on chassis 22 can be made into integration with one or more supporters of side wall reinforcement 20 selectively.

Referring to Fig. 1, and investigate opening 26, sealing member 14 and the lid 12 of container 10 in more detail.Sealing member 14 can be arranged on the flange 52.Though be appreciated that sealing member 14 can be in opening 26 inside of container 10 in less preferred embodiment, flange 52 is around the opening 26 of container 10.

Although as mentioned above sidewall 20 can be relax, voluntarily supporting and/or can two-wayly pile up and erect, sealing member 14 is rigidity preferably.Even it is submissive that rigidity is meant sealing member 14, but work as container 10 under the state that does not retrain of nature, sealing member 14 has the component of a vector that all extends on X and Y direction.Like this, when container 10 was sky, sealing member 14 all extended on X and Y direction.Under average service conditions, no matter container 10 is sky or full, the opening 26 of container 10 has same geometric configuration.

When lid 12 during, should consider to add sealing member 14 and make its work that sealing member 14 bears and comprise the hydrostatic pressure of 20 ℃ the distilled water that the 2.5cm water column is high at least in make position.This sealing member 14 can be tested like this: container 10 is filled to the suitable degree of depth, adds sealing member 14, the side of container 10 is toppled over, distilled water is added on the sealing member 14 top 2.54cm height.If in 15 seconds, do not leak, think that then sealing member 14 can use.

Sealing member 14 is determined XY plane and vertical with it Z direction.Sealing member 14 extends on both direction at least, makes sealing member 14 determine all to have the path of a plurality of component of a vector on X and each direction of Y.The path of sealing member 14 can be straight line, curve or the two comprehensive.

In one embodiment, sealing member 14 can be arranged on two mutually perpendicular directions, and a direction is parallel with directions X basically, and another direction is parallel with the Y direction basically.These directions can be consistent with the top of the sidewall 20 of container 10 or coincide.If like this, then as described below, sealing member 14 has a summit of the minimum profile curvature radius of being determined by the sealing member 14 of the particular type that is adopted.This summit has been determined and the vertical positive dirction in above-mentioned XY plane.Should be noted that the XY plane determined like this can and the preferred plane parallel of determining with the chassis 22 of container 10 basically, be crooked although also conceive this plane especially.Sealing member 14 can be positioned at the XY plane, and lid 12 can take off on the direction of the component of a vector with Z direction.Lid 12 can be hinged as shown, or move on apex axis.Opposite with the geometric configuration of slide block 60 types described in No. the 3660875th, the US Patent of authorizing Gutman on May 9th, 1, sealing member 14 of the present invention is vertical with apex axis.

If use slide block 60, then slide block 60 is in the action compressible seal member 14 of closing direction.A longitudinal axis is arranged in the XY plane that sealing member 14 can be envisioned as in its path.Slide block 60 is compressive seal 14 on vertical with this longitudinal axis basically direction.

If wish never to take off lid 12 on the pivotally attached container 10, then inside face or the outside face of guide rail with the sidewall 20 of container 10 can be connected, and highlight from described surface.Lid 12 can be connected with guide rail.Guide rail can have the vertically extending groove in XY plane with sealing member 14.Like this, by moving along guide rail, lid 12 can be perpendicular to the XY plane translation.

No matter select pivotally attached lid 12 or select and can move the lid 12 that takes off from the opening 26 of container 10, under any situation, lid 12 can separate with container 10, even lid can take off from container.What is called is not separated with container 10 and is meant: if the material that comprises container 10, lid 12 or any part that container 10 is connected with lid 12 or adjoins is not torn or not serious distortion, lid 12 is forever separated with container 10.Lid 12 with the benefit that container 10 separates is not, lid 12 can not misplace the position, loses or mixes up with the lid 12 of container 10 same size, that have different hygienic requirements.

Referring to Fig. 3, sealing member 14 can comprise any type of reusable mechanism as known in the art.Suitable sealing member 14 comprises rib-type sealing member 14, lining cement sealing member 14, adhesive seal spare 14, the selective activation sealing member is shown in the US Patent that following and the present invention have commonly-assigned us: authorized people such as Hamilton on October 2nd, 1997 No. 5662758; Authorized people such as Hamilton on February 16th, 1999 No. 5871067; The sequence number that on November 8th, 1996 proposed with people such as McGuire name is 08/745339 application; With the sequence number that proposed on November 8th, 1996 with people such as Hamilton name be 08/745340 application, introduce these patents or patent application here as a reference.Suitable sealing member 14 also can comprise the sealing member with frictional fit or compressed fit 14 as shown in the figure.What is called can reuse and be meant: but the lid 12 of container 10 can open and make position in each position between bi-directional conversion twice at least, and sealing member 14 still has the function of airtight container 10.

As shown in the figure, a kind of sealing member 14 of adequate types uses complementary projection 54 and recess 56.As can be seen, the flange 52 that on the XY plane, extends of illustrated embodiment utilization.Flange 52 is around the opening 26 of container 10.Flange 52 has the projection 54 of extending perpendicular to the XY plane.Lid 12 have perpendicular to the XY plane extend and with the recess 56 of projection 54 complementations.Projection 54 is inserted in the recesses 56, forms compressive seal 14, sealing at least at the part periphery, preferably at the opening 26 of whole periphery around container 10.

Those of ordinary skill in the art knows that this configuration mode can be put upside down, and recess 56 is positioned on the flange 52 of container 10.In addition, the lid 12 of container 10 also can have the flange 52 that extends in the XY plane.

If desired, container 10 can seal with slide block 60.At this used slide block 60 is path movement along above-mentioned sealing member 14, with open, closed or preferably open and the device of closing seam spare 14.

Referring to Fig. 2, if in container 10 and lid 12, comprise selectable slide block 60, then slide block 60 can with opening 26 peripheral juxtaposed paths on move.Should be appreciated that sealing member 14 does not need with the peripheral consistent of the opening 26 of container 10 or and puts.

Slide block 60 can make sealing member 14 work, thereby when when first direction moves, slide block 60 can be pushed down sealing member 14; And when in the opposite direction mobile, unclamp sealing member 14.Therefore, the effect of sealing member 14 comprises to sealing member 14 and applies power, as closed container 10 is desirable; Perhaps unclamp sealing member 14, as desirable when the openable container 10; Perhaps the two has.

Slide block 60 can be arranged in the track 62, and slide block 60 of the present invention is recognized with common slide fastener easily; And can guarantee that slide block 60 of the present invention does not comprise common slide fastener.Track 62 separates with sealing member 14.In an illustrated embodiment, track 62 is appreciated that in the outside of sealing member 14 track 62 also can be in the inboard of sealing member 14.Be related with sealing member 14 during track 62 work, so slide block 60 can be arranged in the track 62, and can push down and unclamp any one direction in the direction or sealing member 14 is worked.As shown in the figure, track 62 is preferred corresponding with sealing member 14.

Preferred slide block 60 is a truncated cone shape.When doing the time spent at closing direction, sealing member 14 is pushed down in the inboard of slide block 60.When doing the time spent at opening direction, the outside of slide block 60 is unclamped sealing member 14.That the used suitable slide block 60 of the present invention is disclosed on the same day is that name with Hupp proposes, title is U.S. Patent application " applying the slide block of the power of closure or openness for the fastener that is arranged in two dimensional surface ", that have commonly-assigned us with the present invention.Here it is for reference to introduce this application.

The variety of configurations that comprises 62 combinations of sealing member 14/ track.Generally, when providing guide surface for slide block 60, any geometric configuration that can carry out the sealing member 14 of frictional fit, force fit or compressed fit with the fertile material of container 10 or lid 12 all is suitable.Can recognize that guide surface and track 62 separate with sealing member 14.
