6. The system of claim 5, wherein the base includes a compartment for securing a fourth electroacoustic device therein.
7. The system of claim 6, including a cover extending between a supporting surface and the base to substantially prevent viewing of the fourth electroacoustic device.
8. The system of claim 1, including an airlifting assembly for airborne movement of the shipping container.
9. The system of claim 1, wherein when the shipping container is configured to be transported, the second portion and the third portion are assembled together to form fastened joints.
10. The system of claim 9, wherein the fastened joints between the second portion and the third portion are secured by fasteners configured for manual disassembly.
11. The system of claim 1, wherein the fasteners are quick release fasteners.
12. The system of claim 1, wherein the shipping container is sized to be portable by commercial air, land or sea transportation apparatus.
13. A method for supplying audible signals to an audience for a corresponding performance comprising:
providing a shipping container including a first electroacoustic device configured to generate audible signals and corresponding components to permit operation of the first electroacoustic device, the first electroacoustic device secured to a lifting device in a first position during transport of the container, the lifting device forming a first portion of the shipping container; and
moving the first electroacoustic device from the first position to a second position for the performance with the lifting device; and
manually removing a second portion of the shipping container.
14. The method of claim 13, including securing a second electroacoustic device to a third portion of the shipping container.
15. The method of claim 13, wherein the lifting device has a yoke for movably securing the first electroacoustic device.
16. The method of claim 13, wherein the yoke has an axis, the yoke configured to permit a controllable rotational movement of the first electroacoustic device about the axis with respect to the lifting device.
17. The method of claim 13, wherein the shipping container includes a base for supporting a third electroacoustic device beneath the first electroacoustic device when the lifting device is in the second position.
18. The system of claim 17, wherein the base includes a compartment force securing a fourth electroacoustic device therein.
19. The method of claim 18, including an airlifting assembly for airborne movement of the shipping container.
20. The method of claim 13, wherein the shipping container is sized to be portable by commercial air, land or sea transportation apparatus.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A storage container, comprising:
a base portion comprised of a non-plastic material being configured to provide an interior space in which material is receivable and containable, said base portion including a primary rim extending radially outward of an opening to said interior space;
a secondary rim being affixed to a selected surface portion or portions of said primary rim, said secondary rim being comprised of at least one of plastic or elastomeric material; and
a lid portion being removably receivable to said base portion, said lid portion being configured to close the opening in said base portion, said lid portion including sealing structure being comprised of plastic or elastomeric material configured to engage a surface of said secondary rim when the lid portion is received to said base portion.
2. A storage container according to claim 1, wherein said material is food or consumable liquid.
3. A storage container according to claim 1, wherein said non-plastic material is paper.
4. A storage container according to claim 1, wherein said lid portion comprises a central region including a non-plastic material and a peripheral engagement region including at least one of plastic or elastomeric material.
5. A storage container according to claim 1, wherein a surface of said base portion facing said interior space is treated with a water proofing or resisting agent.
6. A storage container according to claim 5, wherein said water proofing or resisting agent includes at least one of wax, foil, polyethylene, polylactic acid or polylactide.
7. A storage container according to claim 1, wherein said non-plastic material is biodegradable.
8. A storage container according to claim 1, wherein said plastic or elastomeric material of at least one of the lid portion or the base portion comprises polylactic acid or polylactide.
9. A storage container, comprising:
a base portion comprised of a paper material being configured to provide an enclosed volume in which food is receivable and containable, said base portion including a primary rim extending radially outward of an opening to said enclosed volume;
a secondary rim being affixed to a selected surface portion or portions of said primary rim, said secondary rim being comprised of a plastic material; and
a lid portion being removably receivable to said base portion, said lid portion being configured to close the opening in said base portion, said lid portion including sealing structure comprised of a plastic material for engaging a surface of said secondary rim when the lid portion is received to said base portion to thereby provide a plastic-against-plastic seal between said lid portion and said base portion.
10. A storage container according to claim 9, wherein the paper material includes a surface suitable for receiving printing.
11. A storage container according to claim 9, wherein said lid portion comprises a central region including a paper material and a peripheral engagement region carrying said sealing structure and including a plastic material.
