A folding container (3) comprises: an upper frame (31) including a pair of first and second opposite sides; a pair of side plates (35) being pivotally connected to a respective first side and movable relative to the upper frame; a pair of folding plates (37) positioned between the side plates, each of the folding plates including an upper plate (371) and a lower plate (373), each of the upper plate being pivotally connected to a respective second side; a bottom plate (33) including a pair of second opposite sides corresponding to the second sides of the upper frame, each lower plate being pivotally connected to the bottom plate, the side plates and folding plates and bottom plate cooperatively forming a receptacle; and a pair of slot plates (38) with a plurality of slots (381), each of the slot plates being adjacent to a respective one of the side plates.

The invention provides a knock-down, lightweight, thermally insulating, shipping container made at least in part from a polymer core covered by a thermoplastic sheet layer. In an embodiment of the invention, the shipping container is modular, being adjusted to suit the item(s) to be shipped. In an embodiment of the invention, the base, top panel and walls are made of expanded polystyrene core and combined with high impact polystyrene surface. In one embodiment, a mesh is introduced into the core to strengthen the core making the shipping container tamper proof. A shipping container bag that is light weight, strong, made of a fire retardant material and which forms an ultra violet light, weather and dust barrier can be used to store the shipping container. A system and method for supplying, dispensing, positioning, tracking, transporting, forwarding and storing the light weight shipping containers based on the shipping container bag is disclosed.

A thermoelectric unit for a thermoelectric insulated container. The thermoelectric unit is configured to be inserted in a small opening in the insulated container. A cold side heat sink is mounted on the portion of the thermoelectric unit that extends inside of the insulated container, and a hot side heat sink is mounted on a portion of the thermoelectric unit that extends outside. The thermoelectric unit is arranged so that a thermoelectric module for the thermoelectric unit, the cold side heat sink, and the hot side heat sink are aligned linearly. A hot side fan and motor unit is mounted on the outside of the hot side heat sink and a cold side fan and motor unit is mounted on the outside of the cold side heat sink. The hot and cold side fan and motor units may also be mounted linearly with the hot and cold side heat sinks.

This invention relates to a drive vertical aircraft technique field and especially to a device without rotary blades, which comprises motor, gearbox and fan and also left and right block plates of the semi-fan hole. The gas flow from the fan is located with blade group structure composed of blades, wherein each blade is located on the left and right block plate through its end axis and is distributed from high to low and the blade group is located with blade facing angel adjusting structure.

A ready-to-assemble upholstered and non-upholstered chair consisting of factory assembled sub-assemblies reducing the number of overall parts and assembly hardware which decreases the packaged cubic measure allowing more units to be loaded into shipping containers and trailers, inventoried in warehouses and distribution centers and displayed in retail outlets thereby reducing transportation and handling costs, while simplifying and expediting the assembly process. The invention includes a seat box sub-assembly so constructed to allow a portion of the chair back leg sub-assembly to nest therein reducing the package profile and cubic measure, as well as a front leg sub-assembly. The front leg and back leg sub-assemblies are assembled utilizing a left and right tenoned side rail which inserts into mortises on the front and back leg assemblies. The leg sub-assemblies are secured with a metal bolt, threaded on each end, housed longitudinally within a routed channel running on the exterior face of each side rail. The bolt is secured by threading one end into the pre-installed knurled nut in the back leg sub-assembly and a hex socket T-nut and washer on the face of the front leg sub-assembly. The seat box sub-assembly is fitted over the front leg sub-assembly and the left and right side rails and secured on the underside with metal bolts. With the factory manufactured pre-assemblies resulting in fewer joints, the assembled chair is stronger eliminating potential racking. On upholstered chairs, the removable outer decorative back and seat cover are positioned over the chair back and chair seat and quickly Velcro's into place. Chair covers can be removed for cleaning or retailers can sell additional covers in a variety of materials and designs without needing to stock additional chairs. Once assembled, the invention offers the distinction that no assembly hardware is visible, giving the chair a “factory made” look.

A connector system includes two connector members that can each be mounted to separate objects and then interlocked together to attach the two objects together. In one embodiment, the two connector members are identical and interchangeable with each other. In other embodiments, the two connector members are arranged to attach together objects having perpendicular mounting surfaces or coplanar mounting surfaces. The connector members include an alignment structure having a projection positioned between a first pair of inclined surfaces, and a receiver structure positioned between a second pair of inclined surfaces. The connector members are interlocked together by mating the alignment structure of one connector member with the receiver structure of the other connector member. The relative movement between the connector members causes the inclined surfaces of one connector member to wedge against the inclined surfaces of the other connector member to form a tight and strong connection.
