Abstract
Briefly, a portable leak-proof container for liquid and/or solid materials is disclosed. In particular embodiments, the container may include a substantially planar base that is circular in shape and a plurality of panels abutting the substantially planar base, in which the plurality of panels are encased within a wall having a truncated cone shape. The wall having the truncated cone shape may be fused with the substantially planar base.
Claims48
A portable leak-proof container for substantially liquid and/or solid materials, comprising:
- a substantially planar base having an outer circumference or perimeter that is substantially circular in shape;
- and
- a plurality of panels abutting the substantially planar base, the plurality of panels being individually encased within a plurality of wall compartments of a wall having a truncated cone shape, wherein
- the wall having the truncated cone shape is fused with at least the substantially planar base at the outer circumference or perimeter.
A method for erecting a container for debris, the method comprising:
- unfolding, substantially without use of machinery or equipment, the container from a substantially compressed to a substantially uncompressed state;
- and
- positioning the container at a location for intended use and without insertion of additional structural elements.
A method for forming a container to accommodate debris or other material, the method comprising:
- disposing a plurality of substantially rectangular-shaped panels into a wall having a truncated cone shape;
- and
- fusing the wall to a planar and substantially circular base so as to form a substantially leak-proof seal at one or more fusing points and/or seams.
A portable leak-proof container and a self-erecting moisture-shedding cover, comprising:
- a base portion, the base portion having a crossover of two or more structural ribs, the two or more structural ribs extending from the base portion to an apex portion of the self-erecting moisture-shedding cover, an area between two or more structural at the apex portion of the self-erecting moisture-shedding cover providing an open region to channel liquid incident at the apex portion of the self-erecting moisture-shedding cover.
