Definitions

  • This invention relates to re-usable containers, i.e. containers which can be erected for use, i.e. transportation of goods,and dismantled to take up a smaller volume for return transportation or storage.
  • At present one form of preparing goods for transportation is to stack the goods on a base or pallet located to top over the goods and surround the whole in shrink-wrap plastics. 'With such a package, "the goods themselves bear any weight placed on them and must withstand lateral knocks. Breakage or buckling of some goods can thus cause collapse of the entire package and other stacked thereon.
  • a re-usable container including an upstanding wall for location on a base, said wall comprising a pair of U-shaped wall members made of corrugated cardboard, the limbs of which engage each other to provide opposed wall portions of double thickness relative to the other opposed wall portions formed by the webs of the U-shaped members, the limbs of each member being hingeable relative to the respective web.
  • said limbs are hingeable only between a collapsed position overlying the inner face of the web and an erected position substantially 90° from said collapsed position.
  • the limbs of one member abut the inner face of the limbs of the other member.
  • a lid is provided having a lipped peripheral edge which overlies the erected wall.
  • a base is provided having a lipped peripheral edge which overlies the erected wall.
  • the cardboard is at least 3-ply in thickness.
  • the cardboard is 3, 5 or 7-ply, dual-walled and wax-impregnated; or 7-ply non-wax-impregnated.
  • the cardboard is 9 or 11-ply triple-walled.
  • a re-usable, i.e. multi-trip, container comprises a top 10, a base 11 and an upstanding wall 12, which is formed by two wall members 13, 14.
  • Each wall member 13, 14 is U-shaped having a base or web 15 and two parallel limbs 16, 17 lying at 90° to the web.
  • the wall members 13, 14 are located with the limbs 16, 17 of one engaging the limbs 16, 17 of the other so as to form a pair of opposed walls of double thickness relative to the other pair of opposed walls.
  • the limbs of one member 13 engage the inner face of the respective limbs of the other member 14 (Fig. 2) rather than a staggered effect of one inside, one outside. Because of this arrangement, the web 15 of one member may be slightly wider than that of the other, but preferably, both members are of identical dimensions.
  • the erected container wall is 18.3 cm. wide, 15.15 cm. long and 14.17 cm. high.
  • the double-thickness side is the shorter side (Fig. 3); this ensures less tendency for the inner limbs to flop about within the container before filling.
  • the material from which the wall is made is heavy-duty corrugated cardboard, for example, dual-wall 7-ply waterproofed by wax-impregnation (at 200 F) or triple-wall, 9 or 11-ply non-waxed.
  • the material is..197 cm. thick.
  • Each wall member is initially a flat sheet which is scored in two places 20, 21 to form hingeable limbs.
  • Each hinge is scored, e.g. 5 or more times, to provide the required flexibility and the limbs are so formed as to hinge only between a collapsed position in which they overlie the inner face of the web and the erected position at 90° thereto.
  • the lid 10 and base 11 are formed of the same corrugated cardboard material.
  • the material for both the lid and base is initially a sheet 30 (Fig. 6) which is scored along a line 31 parallel to the edge to provide a lip or.flanged edges 32, 33 which, in the lid,extends downward, and in the base extends upwards.
  • a cut 34 is made at each corner, these being parallel and separating one pair of opposed flanges 32 (the shorter sides) from the other (longer) pair 33.
  • extensions 35 are formed on said other (longer) pair of flanges 33. These extensions 33 are folded over to lie against the outer face of the respective shorter flanges 32.
  • strips 40 of plastics binding e.g..197 cm. wide, each strip being secured by crimping in a metal holder (only one strip is shown).
  • the components of the container can be brought to an assembly and filling point and erected by hand then filled with, for example, glassware such as jam jars or bottles.
  • the lid is placed in position and the plastics straps fitted on; one is placed horizontally around the flange of the base and of the lip respectively, two are placed horizontally around the wall and two are placed vertically around the lid and base.
  • the wall members can be folded inwards to their collapsed positions.
  • the lid and base remain erected with their surrounding horizontal straps.
  • the components can then be returned for re-use.
  • the container can be used to carry liquid or granular products by including a plastics liner (not shown).
  • the container wall can be cut to provide a hatch through which, after punching the liner, the liquid or granular products can flow out.
  • a hatch (not shown) may be pre-cut in the container and taped over. The strength of the wall will not be adversely reduced.
  • Slots or holes may also be pre-cut in the container when the goods to be transported are fresh fruit or vegetables.
  • a container is provided which is intended to be of smaller dimensions and of thinner material than that described in my co-pending Application, although the construction and formation is the same.
  • the material is at least 3 or 5-ply dual-walled corrugated cardboard wax-impregnated, or at least 7-ply non-wax-impregnated.
  • the lid may be omitted.
