Embodiment Construction

[0013] In FIG. 1 a container 10 having a side wall 13, a lid 22, and a bottom wall 16 that defines the boundaries of a cavity 8 is shown. The side wall 13, as shown, is cylindrical and defines the side boundaries of the cavity 8. The bottom wall 16 is planar and defines the bottom boundary of the cavity 8. Other shapes would also be suitable for these elements, for example, wall 13 can have a polygon shape and wall 16 corresponds to the shape of wall 13 except it can be planar as shown in FIG. 1, indented into the cavity as shown in FIG. 3, or protrude beyond the wall 13. Also, the side wall 13 and bottom wall 16 may be constructed of any suitable material such as cardboard, wood, plastic, or metal.

[0014] The bottom wall 16 closes off one end of the container 10. At the opposite end, an opening 19 is defined at the end of the side wall 13. A lid 22 attaches to the open end of the container 13 and is designed to define the top boundary of the cavity 8.

[0015] The lid 22 may be provide...

Abstract

The present invention is a container having at least one sidewall with an inner surface and an outer surface. A bottom wall connects to the side wall to form an enclosure. The inner surface and the bottom wall define some of the boundaries of a cavity that is formed within the container. A lid is designed to attach to a portion of sidewall where an opening is defined of the cavity. An oxygen / moisture diminishing material is disposed within the container. The oxygen / moisture diminishing material absorbs and retains, in some instances immobilizes, a liquid / gas material inside the container for shipping.

Description

CLAIM OF PRIORITY[0001] The present patent application is a continuation in part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 558,982 filed Apr. 27, 2000; which relies on the priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 184,917, filing date of Feb. 25, 2000.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002] The present invention relates to containers for shipping metallic products.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003] There is a need for shipping containers that are suitable for shipping metal products in an oxygen diminished environment and / or moisture diminished environment.[0004] Desiccant packages, shaped like a sugar packet have been inserted into containers to ship metal products. These desiccant packages diminish the oxygen and the moisture in containers. The desiccant packages having an outer layer and inner contents of conventional desiccant material. When the packet is to be used, it is inserted within an outer container, i.e., a conventional tin can.[0005] A problem with this prior art system...
