Abstract:
A packaging container includes a pallet, an enclosure box, an enclosure base, a sheet, and a set of fasteners. The pallet carries the article thereon. The enclosure box rests on the pallet to enclose the article therewithin, and includes a top wall, first and second pairs of opposite side walls, an open bottom, and a first set of through-holes. The enclosure base lies between the article and the pallet to hold the article. The sheet extends across at least a portion of the pallet and the first pair of opposite side walls to secure the pallet to the enclosure box when fastened to the enclosure box, and includes a flat center panel, a pair of side flaps, and a second set of through-holes. The set of fasteners are passed through the first and second sets of through-holes to fasten the sheet to the enclosure box from outside the enclosure box.
Abstract:
A pallet-type support frame for transport and storage containers for liquids having an inner plastic container and an outer metal jacket has a sheet metal bottom for supporting the inner container. The bottom has a shape matched to the drainage bottom or the flat bottom of the inner container. Anti-slip support elements are arranged on the underside of the bottom such that the support frame rests with the support elements on gripping arms of a transport device. Alternatively, an anti-slip coating is provided on the underside of the bottom. The coating is engaged by gripping arms of the transport device when the support frame is transported. The support elements or anti-slip coatings are made of a material that is matched to a material of the gripping arms such that a friction coefficient as great as possible is provided between the support elements or anti-slip coatings and the gripping arms.
Abstract:
A pallet cover has a top panel and side panels hinged to the top panel for swinging movements from a substantially vertical position depending from the top panel through an arc sufficient to enable each side panel to overlie the top panel. The pallet is provided with supports which enable it to be stacked with one or more other pallets and the cover is notched to accommodate the stacking supports and provide an interlock therewith to ensure retention of the cover on the associated pallet.
Abstract:
A water heater is protectively packaged for shipment and handling by respectively inserting upper and lower end portions thereof in recesses in facing padded sides of upper and lower end assemblies having, on their opposite sides, spaced pluralities of parallel support rail members. The water heater and associated end assemblies are enclosed within a cardboard box having a vertical side wall portion spaced horizontally outwardly from the water heater, and vertically elongated reinforcing members extend along interior corner portions of the box between the upper and lower end assemblies and form therewith a vertical load path facilitating the stacking of water heaters packaged in this manner. The box has a closed upper end portion within which the upper end portion is disposed, and an open lower end portion having an opposing pair of downwardly projecting tabs which are removably secured to outer side portions of an outer pair of support rail members on the lower end assembly in a manner leaving the opposite ends of the support members exposed. By simply disconnecting the lower box tabs from their associated support rails, the box can be vertically removed to expose the water heater for field modification if necessary. The packaged water heater may be lifted using either a fork lift or a pair of conventional squeeze plates.
Abstract:
The present invention solves the problem of securing a corrugated shipping box to a skid or pallet without potential for injury when opened and which can be easily and securely resealed. The container for packaging and shipping articles of the present invention includes a substantially rectangular wooden base, such as a shipping skid or pallet, and a corrugated box. The box telescopes over the base wherein a portion of the base is inside the box. A reinforcing material, such as, for example, a foam plastic or Masonite.RTM., is applied to a section of the outside walls of the corrugated box adjacent to the base. A plurality-of screws fasten the box to the base through the reinforcing material, wherein the reinforcing material provides reinforcement and strength to the bond between the screws, the box and the base.
Abstract:
The present invention is a collapsible, multi-wall fiberboard container which is fixedly attached to a pallet. The container is particularly designed to hold flowable type materials such as sludge or particulates, and may be used for containing, transporting, storing or disposing of hazardous waste. The container is preferably a double wall, tubular member having opposed side panels and opposed end panels, with the end panels being generally normal to the side panels. The container also includes top and bottom flaps hingedly connected to the end and side panels. Three of the bottom flaps are formed as a half bellows. The remaining bottom flap is adapted to be attached to a pallet. Preferably, the top flaps are also of a regular slotted design. Laminated and glued to the interior of the container is a triple wall reinforcing member in the preferred embodiment. A polybag liner may be used in the container.
Abstract:
A wood cleated corrugated container having a load bearing, protective insert of corrugated board with a pair of rigid support members supported by a plurality of coplanar support points along a plane defining a boundary of, or dividing, the container. The corrugated container includes a wood pallet base having sockets which receive the lower ends of the vertical cleats to resist dislodgement of the cleats from the pallet during handling, shipment and storage.
Abstract:
The invention discloses the provision of a container securable to a pallet to prevent the container or other goods to be carried from becoming dislodged from the pallet in transit. The invention provides a container having a base and side walls a plurality of the base having a plurality of articulatable lugs in the form of elongate tabs depending therefrom and each foldable to engage with a slot provided on the base so as to form a retaining loop which secures a portion of the pallet member between the tabs and the base of the container. The container may be erected from a blank, also described.
Abstract:
A shipping and display container for retail sales of small items such as candy includes a plurality of vertically stacked boxes, each with a front opening for removal of merchandise and a vertical divider for mechanical strength. The boxes can be glued together. A display tray is glued to the top of the stacked boxes. A decorative wrapper, which is glued around three sides of the stacked boxes and display tray, includes easily removable perforated access panels aligned with the front openings in the boxes. The access panels are left in position during shipment and are removed for display. A base pallet is attached to the bottom of the container for protection thereof and for raising the level of the container to facilitate display.
Abstract:
A pallet is made of a substantially rectangular corrugated fiberboard, so that it has a loading surface region, two end cleats extended from two edges of the loading surface region which are in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the corrugated fiberboard, and at least one V-shaped supporting beam formed at each end of the lower surface of the loading surface region. A bottomless corrugated fiberboard container is placed on the pallet in such a manner that the lower end portion of the container is between the end cleats. The lower end portion of the container is bonded to the end cleats, or is detachably secured to the end cleat, so as to form a packaging box wherein a separable pallet forms the bottom of the box.
