Abstract

A container system that includes a container portion having a base that defines a perimeter and a wall having a first end that is attached to the base, wherein the wall extends from the first end so that the base and the wall define an interior volume of space and wherein a second end of the wall defines an edge of an opening into the interior volume of space. The container system further including a cover having a surface that is positioned to contact the edge and block the opening, wherein the surface includes a pattern of perforations that defines a weakened area of the surface that is surrounded by the pattern of perforations.

         68 . The container of  claim 64 , further comprising a strap that engages said wall and said cover so that a first end of said strap and a second end of said strap extend past said edge of said opening. 
     
     
         69 . The container system of  claim 68 , wherein said wall comprises a first slot and a second slot and said cover comprises a third slot and a fourth slot; and
 wherein said first end of said strap is threaded in order through said third slot, said first slot, said second slot and said fourth slot.   
     
     
         70 . The container system of  claim 69 , wherein the male member further comprises a fifth slot that is disposed between the third and first slots when the cover is disposed upon the container, wherein the strap is threaded in order through said third slot, said fifth slot, and said first slot. 
     
     
         71 . The container system of  claim 64 , further comprising wire located within said interior volume of space, wherein an end of said wire extends through an opening formed in said central surface of said cover. 
     
     
         72 . A container system comprising:
 a container portion, comprising:   a base that defines a perimeter; and   a wall comprising a first end that is attached to said base, wherein said wall extends from said first end so that said base and said wall define an interior volume of space and wherein a second end of said wall defines an edge of an opening into said interior volume of space;   a cover comprising a surface that is positioned to contact the edge and block said opening, wherein said cover releasably engages said container portion via a male/female attachment, wherein said cover comprises a male member and said wall comprises a female member that engages said female member and the male member has a free edge that extends interior of an end panel of the cover towards said base and said female member is a cutout that receives said male member,   wherein the male member is coplanar with a portion of the wall that defines the cutout when the cutout receives the male member.   
     
     
         73 . The container system of  claim 72 , wherein said cover defines an opening that passes through said cutout so that said male member is accessible via said opening defined by said cover, wherein pressing of said male member through said opening defined by said cover releases said male member from said female member. 
     
     
         74 . The container system of  claim 72 , further comprising a strap that engages said wall so that a first end of said strap and a second end of said strap extend past said edge of said opening. 
     
     
         75 . The container system of  claim 74 , wherein said strap engages said cover. 
     
     
         76 . The container system of  claim 75 , wherein said wall comprises a first slot and a second slot and said cover comprises a third slot and a fourth slot; and
 wherein said first end of said strap is threaded in order said third slot, said first slot, said second slot and said fourth slot.   
     
     
         77 . The container system of  claim 72 , further comprising wire located within said interior volume of space, wherein an end of said wire extends through an opening formed in said surface of said cover. 
     
     
         78 . A container system comprising:
 a container portion, comprising:   a base that defines a perimeter; and   a wall comprising a first end that is attached to said base, wherein said wall extends from said first end so that said base and said wall define an interior volume of space and wherein a second end of said wall defines an upper edge that defines an opening into said interior volume of space;   a cover comprising a central surface that is positioned to contact the upper edge and block said opening, wherein said cover is not integrally attached to said container portion and said cover is adapted to releasably engage the container portion when the surface contacts the upper edge;   wherein said cover comprises a male member disposed from an end panel of the cover and said wall comprises a female member that receives the male member, wherein engagement between the male and female members prevents the cover from being lifted vertically off of the container portion, and   wherein said male member has a free edge that extends interior of the end panel of the cover towards said wall and said female member is a cutout that receives said male member, and   wherein the male member is coplanar with a portion of the wall that defines the cutout when the cutout receives the male member.   
     
     
         79 . The container system of  claim 78 , wherein the cover has two male members each disposed upon opposite end panels and the wall has two female members each disposed upon opposite sides of the wall, wherein each of the two male members are disposed within a respective female member when the cover is disposed upon the upper edge of the wall. 
     
     
         80 . The container of  claim 78 , wherein the female member includes an inner edge, wherein the free edge of the male member and the inner edge of the female member are aligned in parallel with the cover engaging the container portion.
