Abstract
Abstract The present invention is directed to an electrically conductive container with beveled edges and an improved blow molded carrier for efficiently storing and transporting such cases. The carrier has raised portions along its interior base which accommodate one or more of the containers. The invention is also directed to a process for storing electrically conductive containers, including blow-molding carrier means having beveled raised portions, and containers having beveled edges, and the insertion of the containers between adjacent raised portions of the carrier.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
An electrically conductive blow molded container comprising: (a) a body portion; (b) a cover portion; (c) hinge means to permit opening and closing of the container; (d) latching means for closing the container during storage; and (e) the container when closed comprising: (i) a pair of coplanar, rectangular walls spaced apart from each other; (ii) top and bottom coplanar rectangular members spaced apart from each other, and coextensive with and perpendicular to the pair of walls; (iii) a pair of side coplanar rectangular members spaced apart from each other, and coextensive with and perpendicular to the pair of walls; and (iv) intermediate planar rectangular members coextensive with and connecting each wall to the top, bottom, and side members respectively, and disposed at an angle to both the walls and top, bottom, and side members, so that the intermediate members can be accommodated in contacting relationship by inclined sides of raised portions of a carrier means for transporting said containers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
An electrically conductive blow molded container comprising: (a) a body portion; (b) a cover portion; (c) hinge means to permit opening and closing of the container; (d) latching means for closing the container during storage; and (e) the container when closed comprising: (i) a pair of coplanar, rectangular walls spaced apart from each other; (ii) top and bottom coplanar rectangular members spaced apart from each other, and coextensive with and perpendicular to the pair of walls; (iii) a pair of side coplanar rectangular members spaced apart from each other, and coextensive with and perpendicular to the pair of walls; and (iv) intermediate planar rectangular members coextensive with and connecting each wall to the top, bottom, and side members respectively, and disposed at an angle to both the walls and top, bottom, and side members, so that the intermediate members can be accommodated in contacting relationship by inclined sides of raised portions of a carrier means for transporting said containers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A container according to claim 1 wherein the body and cover portions are of substantially the same depth.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
