Definitions

  • Palletized containers of various descriptions have been widely known and used for many years. Although corrugated board containers incorporating integral pallet components, for example, as described in Australian Patent No. 426,164 (AU-B 23812/67), have been widely used with success for many years, the need has developed for palletized containers in which the pallet structure is relatively rigid and may, for example, be constructed from timber components.
  • a palletized container of the above type is described in greater detail in Australian Patent No. 505,345 (AU-B 23926/77) in which a hinged flap having the same dimensions as the bottom of the container is attached to the pallet construction and the flap is then engaged between two of the bottom flaps of the container and is held in position by the container and its contents.
  • This type of palletized container has shortcomings in that the container, particularly when empty, partially filled or enclosing a light load is capable of being displaced laterally in one direction and may therefore be detached from the pallet construction.-
  • a palletized container comprising a pallet structure and a container adapted to be secured to said pallet structure, said container comprising side walls and top closing flaps for at least part of the top of the container if required, bottom flaps which fold inwardly of the container from the side walls and defining a generally rectangular opening in the base of the container, and at least one base pad having a portion secured to or integral with said pallet structure and being shaped to be disposed in use internally of the bottom flaps and adjacent at least portions of each side wall to limit lateral movements of said container when engaged therewith in all directions, characterised in that - the or each base pad has fold lines about which the pad is folded to reduce its dimensions in all directions to facilitate its insertion into the base of said container through said rectangular opening, said base pad(s) when folded retaining the folded condition without any external assistance or interconnection of parts of said pad(s).
  • each base pad is shaped to extend from a central portion of the pallet structure, each said base pad having foldable ears which when folded reduce the dimensions of the pad, when viewed in plan, to the size of approximately half of the said opening in the base of the container.
  • each base pad has a portion which is attached to the pallet structure, for example by being inserted between the top deck of the pallet and the bearers or separating blocks and securely attached therebetween.
  • This arrangement avoidsanother disadvantage of the prior art arrangement of point attachment along a central strip of the floor components.
  • the foldable portion of the base pad is of course capable of being folded flat against the top of the pallet structure so as to lie flat against the inside of the base of the container when attached thereto.
  • a container comprises a first container part which includes side walls and bottom flaps, hereinafter defined as the 'primary' flaps, which primary flaps fold inwardly of the side walls and define an opening in the base of said first container part, and two base pads, each being formed from sheet material and including a first portion arranged to be secured to the pallet, and a second portion formed of three 'secondary' flaps, namely a central and two lateral flaps, the secondary flaps being so formed as to permit the second portion to be folded to an erect, configuration which permits insertion of the second portions of the two base pads directly through said opening, the secondary flaps of each base pad thereafter being capable of being unfolded to a flat, configuration in which the second portions of the base pads lie above their respective first portions and also overlie parts of the primary flaps of the first container part.
  • a container comprises a first container a part which includes four side walls arranged to extend vertically in a rectangular manner, and having bottom flaps, hereinafter defined as the 'primary' flaps which fold inwardly of the side walls and define a rectangular opening in the base of said first container part, and two base pads, each being formed from sheet_material, and each including a first generally rectangular portion, the two rectangular portions, when assembled in relation to the pallet, each being secured to a different half of the pallet, each base pad having an intermediate portion arranged to extend upwardly from the first portion of its base pad, when the latter is secured to the pallet, with the two intermediate portions adjacent one another, and a second portion formed of at least three flaps, namely a central flap connected to the respective intermediate portion, and two lateral flaps extending one on each side of the central flap, the central and lateral flaps being capable of being folded to a first configuration which permits insertion of the three flaps of each base pad simultaneously through said rectangular opening of the first container part, the said three
  • the base pad used to hold the container body described further below is formed from corrugated board or other suitable material and will be seen to comprise a rectangular attachment portion 1 which is adapted for attachment to the pallet structure and a smaller shaped pad portion 2 formed with crease or score lines 3, 4 to define a central trapezium-shaped portion T and shaped foldable ears 5,6 extending from the sides of portion T.
  • the ears 5, 6 are relieved at 7 and 8 so that the pad portion 2 is connected to the attachment portion 1 by a narrow neck.
  • Fold lines F 1 ,F 2 are also provided about which the pad may be folded so as to lie flat against the pallet structure.
  • the rectangular attachment portions 1 of two base pads A and B are disposed in use between the timber top deck and the bearers of a pallet structure P and is secured in position by attachment of the top deck to the bearers. This leaves the shaped pad portions 2 extending upwardly from a central portion of the pallet structure ready for folding and insertion into the container body as shown in Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawings.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawings will show that prior to assembly of the container body onto the pallet and base pad assembly, the ears 5, 6 are folded at about right angles to the portions T. Preferably the ears when folded retain their folded condition without any external assistance or interconnection of parts of the base pads A and B. Alternatively to overcome the tendency of the ears 5, 6 to unfold, the engagement of the corners of the relieved portions 7, 8 with the top of the pallet structure can be relied on to hold the pads A,B in the position shown in Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 5 of the drawings shows that the container body has four side walls 9, 10, 11 and 12 from which four top flaps 1 3, 1 4, 15 and 1 6 and four short base flaps 17, 18, 19 and 20 extend. When the container body is erected and the base flaps folded inwardly, an enlarged rectangular opening 21 is defined in the base of the container.
  • the ears 5 and 6 of each shaped portion 2 of each base pad are folded as described above until the corners of the ears contact the top of the pallet. Frictional contact of the ears with the top of the pallet assists in holding the base pads in the required position during assembly of the container body on the base pads if necessary.
  • the dimensions of the shape portions 2 are approximately equal to the dimensions of the opening 21. Accordingly, the container body may easily be inserted over the folded portions 2 as shown in Fig. 3, whereupon the ears are straightened and the portions 2 folded against the inside of the base of the container body as shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings. When in this position it will be noted that the sides and ends of the portions 2 of each base pad are in close proximity to the side walls of the container body whereby lateral movement in all directions is effectively prevented.
  • the base pad portions 2 are held firmly against the base of the container body so that the container and pallet structure behave effectively as an integral unit.
  • relieved portions 7, 8 of the ears 2 may be arcuate to facilitate folding of the ears back upon each other so that the dimensions of the folded pads are even smaller than in the preferred embodiment.
