  • Publication number: 20070215617
    Abstract: A container system is adapted to withstand impacts and features a first container having a first container body and a second container having a second container body. The second container defines a second body height and a second body wall thickness. A body recess is formed in the second container body for releasably engaging the first container body of the first container. A body recess defines at least one recess top and bottom corner and recess vertical edge having a recess top and bottom corner and vertical edge wall thickness, respectively, and which are intentionally thinned so as to have a thickness that is less than the second body wall thickness. The recess top and bottom corners and vertical edges are specifically configured to be deformable in response to an impact imposed thereagainst such that at least a portion of the impact shock is absorbed by the deformation in order to avoid rupture of the second container.

  • Publication number: 20050167429
    Abstract: There is provided a container system adapted to withstand a single impact or repeated impacts. The container system possesses one uniform wall thickness throughout the entirety of its body so as to be impact-resistant. The container system features a first container having a first container body and a second container having a second container body. The second container defines a second body height and a second body wall thickness. A body recess adapted to releasably engage the first container body is formed on the second container body and is extended along the second body height. The body recess defines at least one recess bottom corner having a recess bottom corner wall thickness which is at least substantially similar to the second body wall thickness of the second container body. This specified bottom corner wall thickness of the body recess allows the second container to withstand the single impact or repeated impacts.

  • Publication number: 20050045630
    Abstract: Provided is a container system adapted to withstand repeated impacts. The container system features a first container having a first container body and a second container having a second container body. The second container defines a second body height and a second body wall thickness. A body recess which is adapted to releasably engage the first container body of the first container is formed on the second container body and is extended along the second body height. The body recess defines at least one recess bottom corner having a recess bottom corner wall thickness which is at least identical to the second body wall thickness of the second container body. This specified bottom corner wall thickness of the body recess allows the second container to withstand the single impact or repeated impacts. Polyethylene, extrusion blow-moldable copolyester, polycarbonate, and clarified polypropylene may be used to fabricate the second container.

  • Publication number: 20050040167
    Abstract: There is provided a container system adapted to withstand a single impact or repeated impacts. The container system features a first container having a first container body. The container system further features a second container which has a second container body. The second container defines a second body height and a second body wall thickness. A body recess which is adapted to releasibly engage the first container body of the first container is formed on the second container body and is extended along the second body height. The body recess defines at least one recess bottom corner having a recess bottom corner wall thickness which is at least identical to the second body wall thickness of the second container body. This specified bottom corner wall thickness of the body recess allows the second container to withstand the single impact or repeated impacts.
