A container with side and end walls, a top and a bottom, has a closure with a panel movable outwardly perpendicular to a plane of the closure, from a closed and substantially sealed position to a closed and substantially unsealed position to disengage the seal before undertaking a more gross opening movement in which the panel is moved clear of the opening. In one embodiment, a container is provided with a rear or end wall that in its gross movement hinges open and closed to clear or close an opening between container side walls. At least two hinges are mounted between the movable rear wall and a support plate on a sidewall adjacent to the movable rear wall. The support plate is constrained to move perpendicular to the plane of the door opening, shifting the rear wall between a closed and substantially sealed position and a closed and substantially unsealed position. In this manner the seal is subjected only to compression and decompression, with the movable rear wall or top lid in each case being free move open or closed without interference with the seals. A container door stop assembly and pressure release assembly are also provided.
A container comprising sidewalls, a bottom wall, and a top wall wherein at least one of said walls is movable, and all are arranged together so as to enclose and define a volume wherein said movable wall is movable perpendicularly and away from said volume between a closed and substantially sealed position and a closed and substantially unsealed position, and wherein said movable wall is free to open and form an entrance into said volume from said closed and substantially unsealed position.
A container door comprising a peripheral frame having a side surface and an edge;
A container having walls and an open end defined by edge portions of said walls comprising:
A pressure release assembly for use on a container comprising:
A container including a plurality of sidewalls, a bottom wall, and a top wall wherein at least one of said walls is movable, and wherein all of said walls are arranged so as to enclose and define a volume, further including a pressure release assembly comprising:
