Definitions

  • the most widespread technique for packing goods in pallettized containers and/or boxes involves the use of preformed and sufficiently strong containers made of rigid cardboard, which are set up at the site of use by suitable folding a cardboard blank so as to form the walls and the bottom of the container.
  • the thus obtained receptacle is sufficiently rigidified by means of adhesive tapes, staples or the like so as to stabilize it in its predetermined shape.
  • the thus finished box is then placed onto a pallet, usually made of wood, plastic or suitably reinforced cardboard, and filled to the desired level with the goods to be transported, whereupon it is closed at the top.
  • the box and the pallet supporting it are then finally secured to one another by passing strips or tapes therearound, to result in a unitary and rigid body ready for transport.
  • this type of package is generally conceived as disposable due to the fact that its volume cannot be reduced after it has been emptied of the packed goods; the great volume of the emptied package or pallet renders its return to the shipper excessively expensive, thus preventing it from being reused, at least by the original user.
  • each container reqires the use of a pallet having dimensions corresponding to that of the container; in view of the fact that many different types and sizes of containers are in general use, it follows that the user of this kind of packing materials has to keep numerous types of pallets in stock, resulting in economic disadvantages and storage difficulties.
  • the supports are thus secured in such a manner that between one support and an adjacent one there remains a space for the insertion of the prongs of a fork lift truck or other handling machine, resulting in a geometric configuration similar to that of a conventional pallet.
  • the box-shaped supports are then filled with a strengthening material, for instance polystyrene foam, so as to ensure the required compression and bending strength.
  • the described supports are exceptionally suited for replacing conventional wooden pallets, and also solve the problem of standardization of packing dimensions with regard to containers of different size, since they can be used in suitable numbers for ensuring stable support of the container, and can also be secured thereto at suitable spacings for providing the required openings there between for the engagement of handling equipment.
  • the invention is based on the construction of a support structure for a container 2 achieved by applying a number of support elements (fig. 1) in a fixed although releasable manner to the bottom bottom wall of the container represented by its bottom flaps 11.
  • Abutment 8 is located on the centerline of the support surface 4 and is of a symmetric shape of a flat V-shaped cross-sectional configuration, so that two symmetrically disposed undercuts 9 are formed between abutment 8 and surface 4.
  • Surface 4 is further provided, preferably at locations adjacent the inner wall surfaces 3 of containment walls 13, with a number of upwards projecting teeth 7, wall surfaces 3 being similarly provided with downwards directed arcuate barbs 6.
  • the operation of assembling the packing structure according to the invention proceeds in the following manner: After placing a number of n support elements on the floor at parallel spacings equalling 1/(n-1) of the length of the container 2 to be transported, a cardboard blank is used for setting up container 2, without the use of adhesive tapes or the like, so that bottom flaps 11 are free to project downward at an angle of about 45 o .
  • Container 2 is then lowered onto the support elements, so that its bottom flaps 11 slide inwards on support surface 4 until their free edges enter the undercuts 9 of abutment 8 and the bottom of the container is thus closed.
  • the inner wall surfaces 3 are preferably inclined inwards to thereby improve the retention of the container on the support surfaces 4 without hampering its introduction between containment walls 13.
  • barbs 6 penetrate its walls to their full length so as to subsequently prevent the container from being lifted off the support element, the latter being positively locked against lateral displacement by teeth 7 on support surface 4 penetrating bottom flaps 11, and more effectively still by the engagement of the edges 12 of bottom flaps 11 in undercuts 9 of abutment 8 over a considerable part of their length.
  • the assembly of the packing structure is terminated by securing the above described components fixedly to one another by means of strips or tapes 14 which are wound around the assembled components in the known manner as shown in fig. 3.
  • the support elements can be readily detached from the actual container, which in its empty state is readily deformable and no longer held down on the support elements by the weight of the previously contained goods.
  • the support elements may then be stacked without difficulty and returned to the original shipper for renewed use, the space being occupied by the support elements being considerably smaller than that occupied by conventional pallets.
