  • Patent number: 5595318
    Abstract: A reusable one-way shipping container. The shipping container includes a box shaped outer container of mesh material into which is received a synthetic resin inner tank. The inner tank includes an inlet fitting and a discharge fitting which are respectively positioned so that they may be accessed through a fill opening and a discharge opening in the outer container. The top wall of the outer container is defined by a pair of panels which are hingedly secured to opposing side walls of the outer container for movement between an opened position and a closed position. The open position of the panels allows the inner tank to be removed from said outer container upwardly between the side walls.
