  • Patent number: 5692626
    Abstract: An integral dual compartment container includes a pair of container bodies positioned back-to-back relative to one another. Each of the container bodies includes respective upper and lower container body portions. The upper body portions each has an opening and is asymmetrically disposed relative to the respective lower container body portions thereof. A handle spans the upper container body portions so as to establish a generally rectangular space therebelow. A pair of generally vertically oriented attachment flanges integrally attach a respective end of the handle to the upper container body portion, while a generally vertically oriented connecting flange extends continuously between the opposed rear walls of the container bodies and connects them in a back-to-back relationship.

  • Patent number: 5427262
    Abstract: A longitudinally bisected storage drum includes a pair of hemi-cylindrical drum segments each being formed by a pair of semicircular end panels which are joined to, and spaced-apart by, a side wall having a hemi-cylindrical wall section and a substantially rectangular planar wall section. The planar wall section of one drum segment defines a longitudinally oriented re-entrant groove which unites with a longitudinally oriented tongue protruding from the planar wall section of the other drum segment. Therefore, when the tongue and groove are united with one another, an overall cylindrical drum structure will result. The closely adjacent planar wall sections of each drum segment establish a diametrical parting plane when the tongue and groove are united with one another while the hemicylindrical wall segments are provided with longitudinally spaced-apart and outwardly protruding pairs of roll stops close to this parting plane.
