Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a collapsible framework or skeleton and more particularly to such a framework which is adapted to be combined with pallets so as to form a container to be used for the shipment of goods in bulk or for the storage thereof.
  • Israel Patent No.63475 relates to such collapsible containers.
  • the present invention relates to an arrangement of four collapsible walls forming a frame like structure to each of which pallets can be attached to a pallet of generally conventional type.
  • a set comprising four side walls, characterised thereby that the lateral vertical edge at one side of such a wall is provided with a plurality of hinging male members while the opposite vertical edge thereof is provided with corresponding female members, the said side walls being further provided with means which make possible the connection thereof with a bottom pallet.
  • said male and female member is such that in the folded position the two parts of the hinge may be separated easily from one another, thereby the space required for the collapsed container may be reduced further, the said arrangement also permits fast assembly and disassembly of the container.
  • the assembled container 1 consists of a conventional base pallet 2 onto which are mounted four side walls 3, 4, 5 and 6. Said four walls are connected to each other by means of a hinge arrangement 7 (see Figs. 2 and 3) which consists of a male part 8 and a female part 9.
  • the male part 8, as seen in Fig. 3 consists of a round rod extending the whole height of the respective wall.
  • the female parts of the hinge are shells of a profile of an arch of a circle. This arrangement makes it possible to collapse the whole assembly to a condition as shown in Fig. 4.
  • the said four side walls are attached to the base pallet 2 by means of a member 10 which may be a flat piece of springy metal bent through 90° at 10 ⁇ and again by about 90° at 10 ⁇ (Fig. 5) thus forming a clip like member.
  • a member 10 which may be a flat piece of springy metal bent through 90° at 10 ⁇ and again by about 90° at 10 ⁇ (Fig. 5) thus forming a clip like member.
  • the hinge arrangement 7 which is instrumental in keeping the assembled walls connected together consists of the male part 8 which - as has been stated - is a rod of a length which is equal to the height of the side walls and has a cross sectional area to fit the female parts.
  • This male part is connected to one of the vertical (or lateral) edges of a side wall.
  • the opposite vertical edge of that wall is provided with the female part 9 which is of a substantially circular segment cross sectional configuration.
  • the segment extending through more than 180 degrees, so as to safely keep the male members in place is made of plastic material used in the production of said walls being such, that the hinge may be disassembled, by application of a force sufficient to temporarily bend open the female member.
  • Said male and female parts may be divided into sections a, b, c and d.
  • top wall In those cases where the assembled container serves for storing purposes no top wall would be needed. Whenever such a container is used for shipping goods, an appropriate top wall of whatever conventional design may be used.
