Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container, more particularly a crate made from a single plastic moulded body having upright side walls and portions enclosing said side walls among which there are a reinforced upper edge, reinforced corner columns and a bottom provided with openings.
  • chip baskets have been used for this purpose which are provided with wooden columns in the corners so as to secure a sufficiently strong structure in the corners and to enhance the stackability of the baskets. This makes it necessary to provide the trays to be placed in said chip baskets either with strong roundings on the corners of with bevelled corners, or alternatively, to make the trays in sizes smaller to such an extent that they can be placed jointly between the corner columns. As all the inner trays should be identical within the package around them, they cause a large unused space within each package within the range of all the possibilities available.
  • the side walls may then be provided with openings.
  • the container or crate is then, in the usual manner, provided on the side walls with a reinforced upper edge having an outwardly directed part and a skirt hanging therefrom.
  • the container according to the invention is characterized in tha each case-shaped reinforced corner column is confined on the inside of the container or crate by two straight side wall portions enclosing a single corner and, on the outer side, by a wall formed around said single corner and disposed at a distance from said side wall portions.
  • rectangular corners are formed within the container or crate enabling small trays to be placed directly in said corners, without the outer dimensions of the crate being increased because of the reinforced corner columns still being located within the outer circumference formed by the reinforced upper edge.
  • a good stackability is thus also afforded, because in the location of the reinforced corner column in the outwardly directed part of the reinforced upper edge, there is provided a recessed rebate adjoining the inner side of the container or crate.
  • the container according.to the invention in particular a crate made from a single plastic moulded body as illustrated in fig. 1, is provided with upright side walls 1 and portions enclosing said side walls 1, among which there are a reinforced upper edge 2, reinforced corner columns 3 and a bottom 4 provided with openings.
  • said container or crate in a very light construction from relatively thin material which is shot into an injection mould defining the form of the container or crate in that the portions 2, 3, and 4 enclosing the side walls 1 are designed as case-shaped profile portions which are open towards the under,side of the crate, as will be explained hereinafter.
  • the side walls 1, which are provided with a reinforced upper edge 2 have, in a known manner, an outwardly directed part 5-and a skirt 6 hanging therefrom, as can be clearly seen in figs. 2 and 4. It is generally known to use such hanging skirts 6 in the case of crates made of plastics.
  • the corner columns are case-shaped, and each case-shaped, reinforced column 3 is confined, on the inner side of the container or crate, by two straight side-wall parts 1 enclosing a single corner 7, and on the outer side by a wall 8 formed around said single corner 7 and disposed at distance from said side-wall portions.
  • the wall 8 formed about the corner is connected thereto with a part 9 directed towards the outside of a side wall 1.
  • a recessed rebate 10 adjoining the inner side of the container, as is evident from fig. 2.
  • the rebate 10 can also be seen in the sectional view of fig. 3.
  • the outer wall 11 of the rebate merges into the hanging skirt 6 of two side walls i enclosing a corner.
  • the bottom 12 of the rebate 10 is the closed end of a case-shaped corner column 3 having the form of a sheath.
  • a partition wall 13 running from the inner corner to the outer corner of the crate.
  • the transition of the side walls 1 to the bottom 4 may be provided with a step 14, the bottom 4 being in the form of a grate, the bars 15 of said grate having a U-shape cross section.
  • the U-shape cross section of the bars 15 of the grate-shaped bottom 4 has been depicted in fig. 6. At the intersection of the bars there is furthermore provided a reinforcing cross 16 in the cavity of the U-shape cross section of the bars 15.
  • fig. 6 also shows a cross-sectional line VI-VI, so that in the intersection, in a section parallel to the diagonal, there is an m-shape cross-section.
  • the walls 1 may be provided with relatively large holes 17. Said holes 17 may be relatively large because the portions 2, 3 and 4 enclosing the side walls with the steps 14 are in the form of case-shaped profile parts which are open towards the underside of the box.
