Abstract
A container includes a base. A plurality of walls extends upward from the base. At least one handle is located on one of the plurality of walls. A slot is in one of the base, the plurality of walls or the at least one handle. The slot is at least partially defined by a pair of opposing walls with at least one retention projection extending from each of the pair of opposing walls.
Claims37
A container comprising:
- a base;
- a plurality of walls extending upward from the base;
- at least one handle located on one of the plurality of walls;
- and
- a slot in one of the base, the plurality of walls, or the at least one handle, the slot at least partially defined by a pair of opposing walls with at least one retention projection extending from each of the pair of opposing walls, and wherein the at least one retention projection extends outwardly of each of the opposing walls in a direction that is non-parallel to an insertion direction of the slot.

A container comprising:
- a base;
- a plurality of walls extending upward from the base;
- at least one handle located on one of the plurality of walls;
- a slot in one of the base, the plurality of walls, or the at least one handle, the slot at least partially defined by a pair of opposing walls with at least one retention projection extending from each of the pair of opposing walls;
- wherein the at least one retention projection includes at least one pair of retention projections that extend from opposing walls of the slot and are longitudinally aligned with each other in the slot;

A method of securing an RFID tag relative to a container comprising:
- moving an RFID tag in an insertion direction along at least one retention projection located in a slot on the container, wherein the at least one retention projection extends outwardly from a wall of the slot in a direction that is non-parallel to a planar surface of the RFID tag;
- and
- engaging the RFID tag with a portion of the at least one retention projection.
A method of securing an RFID tag relative to a container comprising:
- moving an RFID tag along at least one retention projection located in a slot on the container;
- guiding a first end of the RFID tag with a first pair of centering tabs in the slot and guiding a second end of the RFID tag with a second pair of centering tabs in the slot;
- and
- engaging an edge of the RFID tag with a portion of the at least one retention projection.
1 more element
A method of securing an RFID tag relative to a container comprising:
- moving an RFID tag along at least one retention projection located in a slot on the container;
- and
- engaging an edge of the RFID tag with a portion of the at least one retention projection, wherein the at least one retention projection comprises a plurality of retention projections, and including
- defining the slot by a pair of opposing walls with at least one retention projection of the plurality of retention projections protruding from an outer surface of each wall of the pair of opposing walls, and
- tapering an outwardly facing surface of the at least one retention projection relative to the outer surface of a respective one of the pair of opposing walls.
2 more elements
A container comprising:
- a base;
- a plurality of walls extending upward from the base;
- at least one handle located on one of the plurality of walls;
- and
- a slot in one of the base, the plurality of walls, or the at least one handle, the slot at least partially defined by a pair of opposing walls with at least one retention projection extending from each of the pair of opposing walls, wherein the at least one retention projection protrudes outwardly of an outer surface of a respective one of the pair of opposing walls, and wherein an outwardly facing surface of the at least one retention projection tapers relative to the outer surface of the respective one of the pair of opposing walls.
2 more elements
A container comprising:
- a container body including at least a base and a plurality of walls;
- and
- a slot in the container body, the slot at least partially defined by a pair of opposing walls with at least one retention projection extending outwardly of an outer surface of at least one wall of the pair of opposing walls in a direction that is non-parallel to an insertion direction of the slot.
A container comprising:
- a container body including at least a base and a plurality of walls;
