Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to shipping containers and more particularly concerns a pallet base assembly for a shipping container (kown from US-A-4 015 710).
  • Shipping containers employing pallet base assemblies are used for shipping various types of cargo such as furniture, appliances and types of commercial equipment.
  • Such shipping containers generally include a pallet base upon which the cargo is mounted and suitable packing material for the cargo, with the cargo and the packing material secured within a box attached to the pallet base.
  • the cargo Upon arrival at a destination, in some shipping container configurations, the cargo may be released from the pallet base, the top of the box opened, and the cargo lifted out. The various components of the shipping container and packing material may then be discarded.
  • the box and packing material may be removed from the cargo while the cargo remains on the pallet base. In this case, the cargo is subsequently removed from the pallet base. If the cargo is heavy, as is often the case, several persons may be required to lift the cargo from the pallet base to gently place the cargo on the floor to avoid damage to the cargo. Alternatively, some type of mechanical assistance such as a hoist may be used.
  • a reusable shipping container assembly is known from US-A-4 015 710.
  • This assembly comprises a slotted base upon which a shipping item is placed, a plurality of removable straps with fasteners, passing through any two of the slots, for strapping the item to the base, a plurality of bracing blocks, movable on the base and releasably lockable in the slots, to abut and brace the item, and a floor, removably positioned under, and also cushioned under, the base.
  • the present invention is directed to the field of shipping containers in which the cargo is moved off of the pallet base, typically without mechanical assistance, rather than being mechanically hoisted or lifted from the base.
  • a shipping container is provided for a printing equipment console weighing approximately 500 pounds.
  • the shipping container assembly for the printer includes a shipping box and a number of support posts and other packing material which are removed from around the printer before it is removed from the pallet base.
  • the packing material including the pallet base assembly, is reusable and is saved after the printer has been unpacked.
  • the printer remains supported upon the pallet base assembly, a number of inches above the floor. Since the packing material is removed prior to removal of the printer from the pallet base assembly, no hoist or other mechanical assistance is required to move the printer upwardly out of the shipping box. However, due to the weight of the printer, several persons would normally be required to lift the printer from the pallet base to set it gently upon the floor. Usually, when such a printer is delivered for use by a customer, one person sets up the printer once it has been unpacked. Therefore, it is inconvenient to require the assistance of several persons for unpacking the printer and removing it from the pallet base.
  • first and second cargo supports on the pallet base which are removable from the pallet base and positionable to form ramps adjacent to the pallet base. The cargo is moved down the ramps to unload the cargo from the pallet base.
  • the cargo remains supported upon the pallet base.
  • the cargo is supported upon deformable cushioning elements, each of which contains strengthening inserts.
  • the strengthening inserts are removed from the deformable cushioning elements, permitting the cargo to settle onto the pallet base surface, and the cargo is then moved down the ramps.
  • a shipping container 11 for a large printing equipment console includes an outer box 12 surrounding the printer attached to a pallet base assembly 13, upon which the printer rests in shipment.
  • Four corner posts 14,16,17 and 18 are held in place at the corners of the printer by an inner box 19 which surrounds the printer and the corner posts.
  • the inner box 19 is made up of four sidewalls which are received inside, and adjacent to, the inner surfaces of the sidewalls of the outer box 12. The bottom of the inner box 19 rests upon the pallet base assembly 13.
  • An upper plate 21 rests on top of the corner posts within the upper opening of the inner box 19.
  • the outer box 12, the inner box 19, and the upper plate 21 are preferably of a corrugated cardboard construction.
  • the flaps 22 of the outer box 12 are closed over the upper plate 21 and secured by metal or plastic bands 23, 24 which encircle the outer box 12 and the pallet base assembly 13.
  • a high strength fiberboard rectangular tube (not shown) is positioned around the underside perimeter of the upper plate 21 to displace weight (such as from stacking of containers) onto the corner posts 14-18.
  • vertical spacer blocks 26, 27 are provided on the posts 17, 18, respectively, to provide additional space for a paper loader unit which extends beyond an end of the printer.
  • the outer box 12 is secured to the pallet base assembly 13 by four releasable plastic fasteners 28 which pass through openings 29 in the outer box 12 and are secured within openings 31 in the pallet base assembly 13.
  • the pallet base assembly 13 includes a pallet base made up of a base platform 32 secured upon three parallel feet 33, 34 and 36 extending the length of the pallet base platform 32.
  • the feet 33 and 36 are suitably hollowed out, at least in the vicinity of the openings 31, to receive a portion of each of the fasteners 28 which secure the outer box 12 to the pallet base assembly 13.
  • the pallet base assembly 13 further includes four cargo support asemblies 37, 38, 39 and 41 which, during shipment, are interposed between the pallet base and the printer.
  • the support assembly 37 is made up of a support element 42 to which is bonded a deformable cushioning element 43.
  • the support assembly 41 is substantially the same as the support assembly 37 and includes a support element 44 and deformable cushioning element 46.
  • the support assemblies 37, 41 are secured to the pallet base by threaded fasteners such as 47 which are received in suitable apertures 48 (in the support element) and 49 (in the pallet base).
  • the apertures 49 in the pallet base include threaded inserts (not shown) for receiving the fasteners 47.
  • the support assembly 38 is made up of a flat support element 51 and a pair of cushioning elements 52, 53 bonded thereto.
  • the support assembly 39 is made up of a flat support element 54 and a pair of cushioning elments 56, 57, bonded thereto.
  • Each support assembly 38, 39 is secured to the pallet base 32 by a pair of threaded fasteners such as fastener 47 passing through holes in the support elements and the pallet base.
  • the cushioning elements 52, 53 and 56, 57 are polystyrene
  • the support elements 51, 54 are plywood.
  • the printer When the printer is packed in the shipping container for shipment, and the support assemblies are mounted on the pallet base, the printer rests primarily upon the deformable cushioning elements 43, 46 (of the support assemblies 37, 41) and also upon the cushioning elements 52 and 56 (of the support assemblies 38, 39).
  • the outer box 12 is removed from the pallet base.
  • the releasable clips 28 are removed, and the outer box is lifted from the printer.
  • the upper plate 21 is removed.
  • the corner posts 14, 16, 17 and 18 are removed and the inner box 19 lifted from the printer.
  • the printer is also wrapped in plastic (not shown) to prevent water damage. Any such plastic wrap is removed after the inner box 19 has been lifted from the printer.
  • the printer and pallet base may be moved together, such as by a forklift, to be positioned for testing or "burn in”. Subsequent to testing, the printer may be repacked in the shipping materials and shipped, for example, to a customer location. The printer may be installed at a customer location despite the unavailability of material handling equipment, as shall be described.
  • the shipping boxes, corner posts, and upper plate are removed as before.
  • the printer is then removed from the pallet base assembly for use, in the following manner.
  • the support assemblies 38, 39 are now inverted and attached to the pallet base 32 to serve as ramps for the removal of the printer.
  • a precut portion 56a of the cushioning element 56 is removed, and a precut portion 52a of the cushioning element 52 is also removed.
  • the cushioning elements 53 and 57 on the support assemblies 38, 39 are precut at an angle, generally matching the angle of the cushioning elements 52, 56 after the portions 52a, 56a have been removed. These angled surfaces are placed upon the floor, with the support assemblies 38, 39 inverted, so that the planar surfaces of the support elements 51, 54 are angled to serve as ramp surfaces for the printer.
  • a hinge 61 is attached to the ramp surface of the support element 54.
  • a hinge 62 is attached to the ramp surface of the support element 51 of the support assembly 38.
  • each hinge 61, 62 carries a pin, with each pin being received in a suitable hole 63, 64 in the pallet base 32 to hold the ramp surfaces in place adjacent the pallet base.
  • the support assemblies In order to prevent shifting of the support assemblies 38, 39 when they are in the ramp position, the support assemblies also carry metal angles 66, 67, respectively. The angles provide additional rigidity to the support assemblies 38, 39 in the ramp configuration.
  • the printer is lowered onto the pallet base and moved down the ramps onto the floor.
  • the printer includes four supporting wheels thereunder, which in the shipping configuration of the shipping container are suspended above the pallet base 32.
  • the deformable cushioning elements 43, 46 are collapsed.
  • a pair of polystyrene inserts 68, 69 are removed from the cushioning element 46 of the support assembly 41.
  • the cushioning element 46 collapses, lowering two of the wheels of the printer onto the pallet base.
  • a pair of inserts 71, 72 are then removed from the cushioning element 43 of the support assembly 37, and the cushioning element 43 collapses to lower the other two wheels of the printer onto the pallet base.
  • a pair of nylon straps such as 73 are secured to each insert.
  • the support assembly 41 is removed.
  • the support assembly 37 is preferably left attached to the pallet base at this time. Once the wheels of the printer are resting upon the pallet base, the printer is then wheeled down the ramps formed by the inverted support assemblies 38, 39 onto the floor.
  • the support assembly 37 is removed, and the ramps 51, 54 are detached from the base.
  • the shipping container components, including the boxes and pallet base assembly, are then stored for subsequent reuse if the printer is repacked for shipment.
