Abstract: A container, preferably in the form of a bucket, includes a closure for closing the container. The closure includes a closed lid plate that is placeable on a container rim bounding a container opening in order to cover the container opening. A lock ring is placeable over the lid plate and screwable to the container. The lid plate is fixable to the container with the lock ring. A seal ring is arranged between the container rim and lid plate for sealing the container opening. The lid plate has a rim portion with a receiving portion, in particular U-shaped, that receives the container rim and encompasses the container rim radially from the inside and outside.

Abstract: A transport container for receiving and transporting goods within a transport or distribution system by conveyor belts and/or roller conveyors. The transport container includes a base from which four sidewalls extend. At least two opposing sidewalls each have a predefined code section to apply a machine-readable code, in particular a barcode or a QR code, and at least one opening, in particular a plurality of slots extending from the base to the upper edge of the sidewall. The openings in the two opposing sidewalls, in particular those openings which are located directly adjacent to and/or at the same height as the predefined code sections, are arranged offset from one another. A system can include the transport container, a conveyor system, and a scanning device.

Abstract: A container includes a first container portion, a second container portion, and an articulation device connecting the first container portion to the second container portion to be pivotable around a first hinge axis. The articulation device includes a sliding joint, which allows a sliding of the first container portion relative to the second container portion transverse to the first hinge axis. A blocking element is movable from a blocking position, which blocks the sliding joint against a spring force, to an unblocking position, which unblocks the sliding joint by an actuation of the sliding joint.

Abstract: A container for transporting and storing liquid, viscous or pourable substances, in particular a container of the Intermediate Bulk Container type. The container has a base, a side wall, and at least one outlet recess in the base and/or the side wall, in which an outlet valve is or can be arranged and which is closable on the outside of the container by a cover. The cover has a base section, by which the cover is fastened or fastenable to the container, and a closure section which is hinged on the base section via a hinge assembly such that it can pivot about a rotational axis. The hinge assembly can hold or lock the closure section in a self-supporting manner in a position releasing the outlet recess.

Abstract: A container includes a base; side walls extending upwards from an upper face of the base; and at least one support plate which is spaced apart from a lower face of the base and is connected to the lower face of the base by ribs extending transversely to the base and transversely to the at least one support plate. At least two laterally protruding projections are formed at least on an edge portion of the support plate extending along one of the side walls. At least two support recesses for receiving at least two projections of a support plate of an identical container stacked thereon are formed in the upper edge portion of the at least one side wall.

Abstract: A foldable container includes a bottom, side walls that can be folded in, a lid, a closure element that can be moved relative to the lid, at least one first closure element mating piece, and at least one second closure element mating piece. The at least one second closure element mating piece is provided on a portion of the side walls that faces the bottom and/or on the bottom in such a way that, in a storage position of the lid, the at least one second closure element mating piece can interact in a form-fitting manner with the closure element in order to lock the lid in the storage position with the side walls folded in.

The cover has a base section, by which the cover is fastened or fastenable to the container, and a closure section that is hinged on the base section via a hinge assembly such that it can pivot about a rotational axis. The hinge assembly is designed to hold or lock the closure section in a self-supporting manner in a position releasing the outlet recess.

Abstract: A valve assembly has a stationary valve body and a valve member that is movable relative to the valve body at least from a closed position, in which the valve member cooperates with a valve seat to completely obstruct a fluid path formed through the valve body, to an open position, which allows fluid to flow through the fluid path. The valve member has a disc- or ball-shaped rigid component that is overmolded with a flexible component and at least partially encompasses the rigid component in a circumferential direction to form a ring gasket section.

Abstract: An expandable container includes a substantially horizontal base, four side walls, and a rim defining a container opening having a larger cross section than the base. At least one of the four side walls is configured as a movable side wall, having an upwardly extending side portion and a substantially horizontal base portion. An upper edge portion of the side portion is connected to the rim by a hinge such that the movable side wall is movable between a nesting position, in which the side wall is inclined to facilitate nesting of the container inside another container, and an expanded position, in which the side wall is moved outwardly to increase the storage space of the container, when compared to the nesting position. A system includes a main tote in which a plurality of expandable containers as described above may be nested.

Abstract: In the case of a pallet made of plastic for holding substantially cylindrical kegs with a pallet support surface for the keg holder, which comprises upwardly protruding supporting projections for supporting the kegs placed on the support surface, the supporting projections are configured and arranged on the support surface such that kegs with different keg diameter sizes can be supported by these supporting projections.

Abstract: A heavy load carrier includes a base and four peripherally arranged side walls and at least one flap in a side wall, which can be folded outwards, a compulsory guide being provided for a translational movement of the flap when the flap swivels upwards.

Abstract: A pallet includes a cover plate configured to accommodate articles, and at least two runners arranged underneath the cover plate, each runner including a runner standing surface, wherein each runner standing surface is subdivided centrally of each runner transversely thereto at a dividing plane and into at least two separate runner elements including a first runner element and a second runner element which, in the mounted position, combine to form the runner standing surface, and wherein each runner element includes an elongated reinforcing element which is held at a first end remote from the dividing plane by a stop in the first runner element and is held at a second end by the second runner element.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A pallet made of plastic, with a cover plate for holding objects and with at least two, preferably three skids arranged below the cover plate, which are arranged parallel to each other and parallel to a pallet edge and each with a skid standing surface, wherein at the ends of which an angled support leg-like skid member is arranged from the skid base in the direction of the cover plate, the skid base surface being arranged at a distance from the cover plate by the skid support members and support feet arranged therebetween is detachably connected to the latter, the skids each being formed from at least two, preferably one-piece skids which together form a skid of the pallet each releasably connectable to the cover plate and which are in the position mounted on the cover plate.
