Abstract: A disposable container for the handling of biohazardous waste material includes a substantially rectangular six-sided exterior box, a polyethylene liner receivable within the exterior box, a substantially rectangular four-sided interior insert positioned within the liner and a substantially rectangular inner box bottom positioned within the interior insert. The exterior box includes two top flaps and two lid sections each of which is integral with and in a hinged relationship with one of the sides of the exterior box. The top flaps and lid sections form a closure at the top portion of the exterior box. One of the top flaps includes an access hole for dropping waste material into the disposable container. The interior insert includes end flaps at the top and bottom of each of the sides integral with and in a hinged relationship with each of the sides of the interior insert to maintain the interior insert in a stable and equidistant relationship with respect to each of the sides of the exterior box.

Abstract: A fluid-tight seal formed by a dual, surface mounted sealing gasket is disclosed. The gasket has a web joining the spaced sealing members. The web engages post members mounted along one of the surfaces to be sealed. The post members serve as spacing means for the surfaces to be sealed, thereby to prevent undue crushing forces on the sealing gasket.
