Anti-rotational system
摘要:
An anti-rotational system which restrains containers therein from rotating and contacting adjacent containers so as not to abrade the outer surface of the containers features an exterior box having at least one wall having a height at least as great as a height of the containers and a bottom structure. Furthermore, a plurality of pockets are formed within the exterior box structure. Each pocket has a rigid portion and an elastic portion. The rigid portion engages a maximum diameter of the container. The elastic portion flexes so as to allow the maximum diameter region of the container to pass thereby. Once the maximum diameter region of the container has passed by the elastic region, the elastic characteristics of the elastic region allows the elastic region to flex back towards its original position thus ensuring that the elastic portion contacts a smaller diameter of the container. Such secure retention of the container in the anti-rotational box prevents the container stored in the anti-rotational box from contacting each other and therefore abrading the outer surfaces of the container. As such, the containers stored and transported in such an anti-rotational box allows the containers to be refilled and reused. Another embodiment features the use of thickened wall ribs so as to make more rigid the anti-rotational system so that the full-depth walls do not warp. The thickened wall ribs connect to the wall of the exterior box structure, the bottom structure of the exterior box structure and a pocket formed within the interior of the exterior box structure. The use of the thickened wall ribs increases the number times a container can be re-used.
