Abstract: A storage/transport container has an annular and erect outer wall in the form of a gridwork of metal rods having a lower edge and provided at the edge with an annular metal stiffening rod. A wooden floor-forming pallet downwardly closes the wall, forms with the wall an outer vessel, and has a ground-engaging lower surface, an opposite and horizontal upper surface, and a pair of vertical and generally parallel and longitudinally extending side edges. A metallic brace bar transversely bridges the pallet between its side edges, lies on the upper surface of the pallet, forms at each side edge a downwardly open notch engaging downwardly over the stiffening rod and has at each edge a downwardly extending tab formed outside the respective seat with a horizontally throughgoing hole. Respective metallic clips engage through the holes and under the stiffening rod and screws engaged vertically through the brace bar and clips into the pallet secure same together.

Abstract: A venting container prevents the incursion of contaminants and water during the breathing of the contents and has a central body received in a collar in the top wall of the container and adapted to accommodate a filter element. The central body is secured to a cover which is provided with break-away means signalling improper opening of the container and with a protective cap turned toward the interior thereof.
