Container system for transporting and dispensing agricultural products

1. A container system for transporting and dispensing agricultural products, comprising:

a) a housing assembly having a plurality of slot assemblies for containers; and,

b) a set of agricultural product containers configured to be releasably contained within said plurality of slot assemblies via a quick detach mechanism of the housing assembly,

wherein said set of agricultural product containers comprise liquid agricultural product containers and dry agricultural product containers, wherein said slot assemblies and agricultural product containers are cooperatively configured to provide the ability to utilize said liquid and said dry agricultural product containers within said slot assemblies.

2. The container system of claim 1 , wherein each of said dry agricultural product containers is configured to provide a trapezoidal flow path for allowing granular material to gravity flow down inclined sides of the dry agricultural container.

3. The container system of claim 1 , wherein said housing assembly comprises a plurality of handle elements.

4. The container system of claim 1 , wherein said housing assembly is secured to a planter.

5. A housing assembly for a container system configured to transport and dispense agricultural products, said housing assembly comprising:

a) a plurality of slot assemblies;

b) a plurality of push assemblies, each associated with a respective slot assembly; and,

c) a plurality of lock arm assemblies operably connectable to said plurality of push assemblies, wherein actuation of a push assembly by a user disengages a lock arm assembly from a container providing for the capability to release the container from the slot assembly;

wherein said slot assemblies are configured to accommodate liquid agricultural product containers and dry agricultural product containers, wherein said slot assemblies and agricultural product containers are cooperatively configured to provide the ability to utilize either of said liquid or said dry agricultural product containers within said slot assemblies.

6. The housing assembly of claim 5 , wherein each push assembly and operably connectable lock arm assembly collectively define a container lock assembly mechanism which is operably connectable to a discharge valve assembly attachable to a container by a key engagement therebetween,

wherein said key engagement provides for simultaneously closing the discharge valve assembly when the user disengages the lock arm assembly from the container, and simultaneously opening the discharge valve assembly when the user engages the lock arm assembly with a container.

7. The housing assembly of claim 6 , wherein each said push assembly includes a rail assembly including rail assembly pins for engagement with a sprocket on said discharge valve assembly to provide said key engagement.

8. The housing assembly of claim 5 , wherein each push assembly, comprises:

a) a handle assembly engageable by a user; and,

b) a rail assembly operably connected to said handle assembly having a vertical element for pushing against an associated lock arm assembly enabling rotation thereof for disengagement of a container.

9. The housing assembly of claim 7 , wherein each rail assembly includes a tab at an end thereof which releases said associated lock arm assembly enabling said rotation thereof.

10. The housing assembly of claim 9 , wherein each rail assembly includes rail assembly pins for engagement with a discharge valve assembly attachable to a container to control discharge of agricultural products.
