Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container, comprising an integrally moulded plastic body having upright side walls and portions enclosing said side walls including a reinforced upper edge having an outwardly directed part and a skirt hanging therefrom, reinforced corner columns and a bottom provided with openings, said portions being in the form of box shaped profile parts which are open towards the underside of the crate, each shaped reinforced corner column being confined on the inside of the container by two straight side-wall parts enclosing a single corner and on the outer side by a wall formed around said single corner and disposed at distance from said side wall portions and the wall formed about the corner is connected thereto with a part directed towards the outside of a side wall.
  • a discardable thin walled container comprising means ensuring an exact position of a corner column of a first container on the corner column of another container accommodated below said first container so that in a stack of containers loads are substantially transferred through the reinforced corner columns.
  • the outer edge of the rebate ends above the upper side of the corner column and thus the bottom part of another corner column can be accommodated in said rebate so that the bottom of the corner column engages the bottom of the rebate.
  • the rebate comprises a bottom and the corner column is provided with a vertical partition below said bottom, loads executed upon a corner column are mainly transferred through the corner column of another container accommodated below said container. These loads are then transferred to the bottom supporting the lowest container as said bottom supports the lower sides of the corner column. This avoids deformation of the walls of the corner columns.
  • a recessed rebate in the outwardly directed part of the upper edge at a corner of a container is known per se from US-A-3 303 965 but loads of such a crate are transferred through the walls of a container to a supporting surface supporting the lower side of a corner wall parts.
  • This container presents the disadvantage that in case of thin walled containers these corner wall parts will be easily deformed even if these corner wall parts are corrugated.
  • the container according to the invention is particularly suitable for conveying fruits, such as cherries, strawberries, mushrooms and the like being packed in small sized packages which are accommodated in such a container.
  • 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 box-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 box-shaped, and each box-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.
  • 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 1 enclosing a corner.
  • the bottom 12 of the rebate 10 is the closed end of a box-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 box-shaped profile parts which are open towards the underside of the box.
