Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a crate, more particularly a folding, stackable crate particularly intended for the transport of fruit, vegetables and other food products.
  • Crates for the transport of fresh fruit and vegetables are normally made of either corrugated cardboard or of wood. Nearly all crates presently used for the transport of fresh fruit and vegetables from the growing areas to the wholesale and retail market use either corrugated carton boxes or wooden boxes. In addition, there are a few plastics crates, some of which are designed to be disposable and others which are returned empty to the point of origin after use and for reuse again.
  • the wooden cases which are disposable, tend to be expensive, are not hygienic and are difficult to print for the purposes of promoting the brand name of the producer.
  • the wooden cases are, nevertheless, strong but are not necessarily stable when stacked since they have no method of interlocking.
  • Corrugated cardboard cartons tend to be cheaper than wooden cases and are more hygienic. More important is the fact that they can be printed and can be used to make attractive displays of the product they carry. They do not have the same stacking strength as wooden crates but their biggest problem is that they are not waterproof and lose most of their strength when wet or humid. As a result, the contents they carry are frequently damaged by the crates collapsing. This fault is particularly significant since the cardboard cartons are frequently exposed to rain when they are in the field during harvesting.
  • Returnable plastics crates are expensive and require organization to ensure that they are not stolen or lost and are returned to their owners for use again.
  • the return cost of transport of empty crates is nearly the same as that for full crates and. therefore, the transport cost is virtually doubled when using returnable plastics crates.
  • the present invention provides a crate, particularly intended for transporting and warehousing fresh fruit and vegetables, which comprises a frame made of plastics material and comprising a base and side walls, the side walls being adapted to be locked together when the frame is erected, and a membrane or lining (hereinafter referred to as a lining) functioning in use to keep the contents of the erected frame within the latter.
  • a crate particularly intended for transporting and warehousing fresh fruit and vegetables, which comprises a frame made of plastics material and comprising a base and side walls, the side walls being adapted to be locked together when the frame is erected, and a membrane or lining (hereinafter referred to as a lining) functioning in use to keep the contents of the erected frame within the latter.
  • the side walls of the frame are preferably hinged to the base thereof, for example by integral hinges of plastics material, but alternatively the side walls may be detachably connectable to the base, for example by clips which permit the side walls to be folded relative to the base when the side walls and the base are connected together.
  • the frame of the crate of the invention may be folded between a first position wherein the base and the side walls thereof lie generally in the same plane and a second, erected, position wherein the side walls are disposed generally transversely, usually perpendicular. to the plane of the base, in which erected position the side walls are locked together, usually interlocked together, to form the erected frame which with the lining thus then constitutes a box for holding goods such as fresh fruit and vegetables.
  • the foldable, stackable crate of the invention is particularly suitable for transporting and warehousing fresh fruit and vegetables at a competitive cost, while avoiding the problems of the prior art as mentioned above.
  • the crate of the invention may essentially comprise a skeleton frame and a lining which is supported by the frame.
  • the frame itself may be a solid or open structure, or some parts thereof may be solid while other parts are open.
  • the base of the frame may be constituted by a series of interconnecting ribs.
  • the base of the frame may consist of a perimeter rib only, to which the frame side walls are attached, and it is to be understood that such a frame having a base portion comprising a perimeter only may in certain intended uses of the crate be adequate for the purposes of the invention.
  • the frame is made of plastics material such as polypropylene, while the lining is preferably made of a plastics material such as polystyrene or any other plastics or other material, such as cardboard.
  • the purpose of making the frame as a skeleton is to keep the crate extremely light weight, and, therefore, of low cost while at the same time giving the crate a certain amount of rigidity for the purposes of stacking.
  • the purpose of the lining is to act as a skin to keep the contents of the box formed by the erected frame inside the box and also in certain cases to act, in combination with a suitable lid of the crate, as a thermal insulation to keep the contents of the box at a low temperature during hot weather.
  • the frame consists of a base and four side walls preferably connected to the base in one piece. This is most preferably achieved through an integral hinge which is a fine section of plastics material which can be bent when the side walls are folded up.
  • the side walls When the side walls are folded up they may be suitably connected to each other at the corners by use of a clip mechanism, preferably by clips provided at the side edges of one pair of opposite side walls engaging corresponding recesses in the side edges of the other pair of opposite side walls.
  • the lining may be suitably a flat sheet of foamed or thermoformed plastics which is scored or hinged along two lines so that the centre part is approximately the same dimension as the base and the two areas either side are approximately equivalent to the sizes of the long sides of the crate, where the crate base is rectangular.
  • the lining may be suitably a continuous sheet, or alternatively formed with a series of openings therein.
  • the lining may also be provided with ridges and undulations to give it considerable extra strength, for certain uses of the crate
  • the lining When assembling the crate, the lining may be suitably fitted under a clip or clips at the top of the inside of the long sides of the crate. As the long side walls are folded up the lining is wedged between the clips and the inside corners of the crate. Alternatively or additionally, the upper ends of the side wall portions of the lining may be retained by folded back or hinged portions of the upper ends of the frame side walls.
  • the lining which for example can be as thick as 6-7 mm., is extremely strong in a vertical plane in terms of compression and can support heavy loads above it, especially in conjunction with the moulded frame.
  • the lining is also locked into the corners of the crate by the wedging action the part of the lining that covers the base is held taut so that heavy vegetables and fruit will not make the base bow or bend downwards.
  • the lining is preferably a foam material which acts as an insulation barrier to keep for example vegetables cool inside. Because it is foamed it is also extremely light-weight (but nevertheless extremely strong) and therefore it is also of extremely low cost.
  • the lining may continue up past the clips and fold over the top to make a lid for further insulation and to keep the produce covered for security and hygienic purposes.
  • That part of the lining which may be folded over to form a lid may be suitably perforated or scored at the part to be folded over, so that the folded over part may be readily torn off.
  • the lining may be provided with two further portions attached to the two side areas thereof, the two further portions each having a dimension approximately equal to half the centre part of the lining, the two further portions being foldable to form a lid of the crate.
  • the two further portions there could be provided one such further portion only, having a dimension equal to that of the lining centre portion, attached to one side area of the lining and foldable over to form a lid of the crate.
  • the crate may if desired be provided with a separate lid.
  • the lining may comprise a box having a base and four sides, generally corresponding to the dimensions of the base and side walls of the frame.
  • Such a lining in the form of a box may be suitably of cardboard or of thermo formed plastics.
  • Such a lining in the form of a box may also be provided with a lid of any of the types described above.
  • the lining can be printed on the outside and the frame may be designed in such a way that large windows on the long sides allow the printing on the sides of the lining to be visible.
  • Small spikes may be moulded on the top of the base of the frame. These spikes penetrate the foamed plastics and stop the foamed plastics lining from moving in a lateral direction.
  • the frame will be most preferably produced by injection moulding and the lining may be applied in an indexed manner as the frame is formed.
  • the base portion of the lining may be pre-punched with one or more holes through which molten plastics is injected during the moulding cycle, thereby securing the lining to the frame as the latter is formed.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic plan view of the frame of a crate according to the invention, in the flat or transportable position thereof;
  • Figure 2 is a section taken along the line A-A in Figure
  • Figure 3 is a section taken along the same line A-A but with the side walls of the frame in the erected position thereof:
  • Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 but with the lining positioned within the erected frame;
  • Figure 5 is a section taken along the line B-B in Figure l;
  • Figure 6 is a section taken along the same line B-B but with the side walls of the frame in the erected position thereof;

  • Figure 8 is a plan view of a preferred embodiment of the frame of a crate according to the invention, in the flat or transportable position thereof;
  • Figure 9 is a section taken along the line C-C in Figure 8.
  • Figure 10 is a section taken along the line D-D in Figure 8;
  • Figure 11 is a schematic plan view of another embodiment of the frame of a crate according to the invention, in the flat or transportable position thereof; and
  • Figures 12a - 12d are schematic plan views of various embodiments of linings of crates according to the invention.
  • the crate shown in the drawings comprises a frame formed a base 1 and four side walls, two of which are short-side walls 6 and two of which are long-side walls 7 which are preferably window walls, i.e. large openings or windows are formed therein.
  • the base 1 and the side walls 6,7 are made of a plastics material such as polypropylene.
  • the base 1 is connected to the side walls 6,7 by integral hinges 2 which are constituted by fine, i.e. relatively thin, sections of plastics material which can be readily bent when the side walls are folded up to erect the frame.
  • the frame may lie generally flat wherein the base and the side walls are disposed in the same plane. In this position several such crates may be stacked together for easy transport thereof.
  • the side walls 6,7 are provided with lateral ribs 4 for strength, as shown.
  • the ribs also serve to assist in stacking erected crates one upon the other. Further, the upper and lower corners of the erected crate may be shaped to assist stacking.
  • the lining 5 is made of a foamed plastics material, such as polystyrene.
  • the lining 5 is shown in Figures 4 and 7 and comprises a flat sheet of foamed plastics which is scored or hinged along two lines so that the centre part is approximately the same dimension as the base 1 and the two areas either side are approximately equivalent to the sides of the long side walls 7 of the crate.
  • the folding of the side wall portions of the lining is preferably achieved through integral hinges which are constituted by relatively thin sections of material.
  • the plastics lining 5 When assembling the crate, the plastics lining 5 is fitted under the clips 3 at the top of the inside of the long side walls 7 of the frame. As the long side walls are folded up the lining 5 is wedged between the clips 3 and the inside corners of the frame.
  • the crate described above is particularly suitable for transporting and warehousing fresh fruit and vegetables.
  • the frame gives the crate a certain amount of rigidity, while the lining acts as a skin to hold the contents of the erected frame and also to act as a thermal insulation to keep the contents of the crate at a suitable temperature.
  • the lining when made of foamed plastics material, can support heavy loads, especially in conjunction with the rigid frame. Since the lining is effectively locked into the crate by a wedging action, the part of the lining that covers the base is held taut so that heavy vegetables and fruits will not make the base bow or bend downwards.
  • Figures 8 to 10 shows another, preferred, embodiment of a frame formed of a base 11 comprising a series of ribs 11a, lib and four sidewalls. two of which are short-side walls 16 and two of which are long-side walls 17 which ace preferably window walls, i.e., large openings or windows are formed therein.
  • the base 11 and the side walls 16,17 are made of a plastics material such as polypropylene.
  • the base 11 comprises a network of ribs 11a connected to a perimeter rib lib. as mentioned previously in certain circumstances it may be sufficient if the base 11 consists of the perimeter rib lib only.
  • the base 11 is connected to the side walls 16,17 by integral hinges 12 which are constituted by fine, i.e., relatively thin, sections of plastics material which can be readily bent when the side walls are folded up to erect the frame.
  • the frame may lie generally flat wherein the base and the side walls are disposed in the same plane. In this position several such crates may be stacked together for easy transport thereof.
  • the side walls 16,17 are simply folded about the hinges 12 into positions in which they are perpendicular to the plane of the base 11, the side walls being locked together along their vertical adjacent edges by clips 24 provided on the side walls 16 engaging in corresponding recesses 25 in the side walls 17, or by other suitable fastening means.
  • the side walls 16,17 are provided with lateral ribs 14 for strength, as shown.
  • the ribs 14 may in particular prevent the frame from bowing outwards when several crates are stacked one upon the other.
  • the lining 5 is suitably as shown in Figures 4 and 7.
  • the lining 5 When assembling the crate, the lining 5 is fitted under the clips 13 at the top of the inside of the long side walls 17 of the frame. As the long side walls are folded up the lining 5 is wedged between the clips 13 and the inside corners of the frame.
  • the upper ends of the lining side wall portions are also retained by hinged portions 22 provided at the upper ends of the frame side walls 17 and extending back slightly into the crate in the erected position of the frame.
  • the hinged portions 22 have detent portions 22a for firmly engaging corresponding recesses 22b (see Figure 8) formed in the frame side walls 16.
  • the engagement of the hinged portions 22 of the side walls 17 with the side walls 16 gives the erected frame a more rigid structure, and may prevent the frame from bowing outwards under a stable vertical load, and also may prevent longitudinal torsion of the frame.
  • the lining 5 is located in the erected frame and normally retained therein by means of the clips 13 and hinged portions 22.
  • the side walls 16 of the frame are provided as shown in Figure 8 with a series of corrugations 23.
  • the long side walls 17 of the frame are provided with tapered or funelling ribs 28 for assisting the location of the lining within the erected crate.
  • the frame of the crate gives the crate a certain amount of rigidity, while the lining acts as a skin to hold the contents of the erected frame and also to act, in combination with a suitable lid of the crate, as a thermal insulation to keep the contents of the crate at a suitable temperature
  • the lid of the crate may be formed as an extension of the lining as previously mentioned, or the crate may be provided with a separate lid.
  • the crate is made lighter in weight by virtue of the skeleton structure of the frame, which is nevertheless cheap to produce, and yet is sufficiently to support a load retained in the crate by the lining and by the side walls 16 of the frame.
  • the inherent strength (tensile strength) of the whole crate structure is essentially improved by the positioning of the lining within the erected frame.
  • the frame side walls are integrally hinged to the frame base
  • the side walls may be detachably connectable to the base, for example by means of clips, similar to the clips 24 co-operating with the recesses 25 as shown in Figure 8, such clips preferably permitting the side walls to be folded or hinged relative to the base when the side walls and base are connected together.
  • Figure 11 shows another embodiment of a frame similar to that shown in Figures 8 to 10, except that the short side walls 26 have formed therein a series of openings or small windows 26a.
  • Figures 12a - 12d show, in plan view, various embodiments of linings 15 in the flat or non-folded positions thereof.
  • the lining 15 shown in Figure 12a comprises a base portion 15a of substantially the same dimensions as the base portion of a crate in which it is in use positioned, and two side wall portions 15b which will in use lie adjacent the long side walls of the crate in the erected position of the latter.
  • the side wall portions 15b may be folded relative to the base portion 15a about score lines or hinge portions 19, preferably constituted by relatively thin sections of the material of the lining 15.
