Abstract:
A pallet container for storing and transporting liquid filling materials includes an plastics inner container and a supporting casing which closely encloses the plastics inner container and is made of a tubular lattice frame which is fastened to an upper outer rim of the pallet. The pallet has a flat pallet top deck for supporting the inner container, and a pallet substructure having four corner feet and four middle feet arranged there between, and a horizontally peripheral bottom ring. The pallet top deck is made of a flat, planar rectangular metal plate which has on each outer side a short downward-facing folded edge extending along the outer sides. The folded edge is pressed by the tubular lattice frame against the corner and middle feet into a folded-edge conforming recess and is fixed such that the metal plate is spanned at its four outer sides linearly on the pallet, substructure.
Abstract:
A container for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse has a frame, tracks supported by opposite sides of the frame, and a plurality of dunnage supports extending between the tracks. At least one of the tracks on each side is generally U-shaped. Each dunnage support comprises end members and a middle member, the end members being movable along the tracks. The dunnage supports support dunnage for supporting products for storage or shipment.
Abstract:
A wrap for a retail display, e.g., a pallet, is provided. The wrap includes corner units and a strap. The strap is releasably interfaced with corner units, with the corner units locating the strap relative to a retail display. The strap may include indicia such as printed indicia, such as, for example, advertisements.
Abstract:
A pallet, a method of securing a load to a pallet, and a method of manufacturing therefor, in which the pallet includes a top plate, a base structure, and support legs, at least a portion of which join the top plate and the base structure. The support legs are disposed between the top plate and the base structure in an arrangement that accommodates engagement of the pallet with a standard jacking device along any edge of the pallet. Securing slots extend through the top plate, wherein a first subset of the securing slots is oriented lengthwise parallel to a first edge of the top plate and a second subset of the securing slots is oriented lengthwise perpendicular to the first edge of the top plate.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a leader board unit for use with a four-way entry pallet, the pallet being of a type which includes a plurality of parallel transverse top boards supported by a plurality of upper support planks, the leader board unit including: a top leader board parallel to and of substantially the same length as the transverse top boards; a bottom leader board parallel to, spaced apart from, and of substantially the same length as the top leader board; a plurality of support members formed integrally with and perpendicular to the top and bottom leader boards and holding the two leader boards in their spaced-apart configuration, each support member including a protrusion for mounting a respective upper support plank, the leader boards and support members being structurally integral and formed of a plastics material.
Abstract:
Element for the storage, handling and transport of planar or primarily planar objects (33), that has an approximately rectangular shape with a length (L) and width (B) in the horizontal plane, that defines on its top two bearing surfaces (20) sloping inwards and two approximately perpendicular support surfaces (21) standing on them, whereby the support surfaces (21) together also define a ridge (23) that extends over the length (L) of the element (27, 29), the ridge (23) is in such a position that the two bearing surfaces (20) are of different sizes.
Abstract:
A corner bead for receiving walls of a body shell, having an outer outgrowth, is provided with a rim for hooking a tensile element thereon, and possibly a projection is provided with a transverse retaining area suitable for being inserted into a groove parallel to one edge of a wall of the body shell. Such a corner bead and a tensile element make it possible, at the same time, to assemble a body shell and ensure the transport and storage thereof when same is taken apart.

Abstract:
A paper-based pallet includes paper-based material top and bottom decks spaced apart by wound paperboard tubes. The decks are formed either by a single piece of paper-based material folded in C-shaped fashion or by two separate pieces of paper-based material. At least at one side of the pallet, flaps extend from the top deck and corresponding flaps extend from the bottom deck. The flaps are arranged in pairs each having a flap from the top deck overlapping a flap from the bottom deck, the overlapping flaps being secured together. Tine-receiving openings can be defined between adjacent pairs of flaps. The top deck can be reinforced at each opening by a flap hinged to the top deck and folded 180 degrees into contact with the top deck and secured thereto, thus forming a double-layer edge portion of the top deck.
