Definitions

  • Containers of the type disclosed in the patents listed above are made of plastic and are generally the largest of their class having dimensions ranging from approximately 40-45 inches in width, x approximately 48 inches in length, x approximately 25-39 inches in height.
  • each wall and base of such containers are molded separately using a structural foam molding process. Mold tooling costs are an important factor in the design of a collapsible container. Reducing the number of tools required to mold the walls and base of the container can lower the up-front capital expenditures and therefore the cost of the container.
  • the base 12 also includes a pair of oppositely disposed short base sides 30 extending upwardly from and integrally with the bottom 20 of the base 12 and corresponding to the sidewalls 14. Similarly, a pair of opposed base sides 32 corresponding to the end walls 16 also extend upwardly from the bottom 20 of the base.
  • the container 10 also includes a wall interlocking system, generally indicated at 50, located on adjacent side and end walls 14, 16 for providing interlocking engagement therebetween when the walls are in their upright position.
  • the wall locking system 50 includes terminal portions 52 disposed along either edge of the sidewalls 14 defining planes which are substantially parallel to the plane defined by the sidewall 14 associated with the terminal portions 52.
  • the terminal portions 52 include at least one, but preferable a plurality of, tabs, generally indicated at 54, disposed at predetermined spaced intervals along the terminal portions 52 and extending from the terminal portions 52 in a direction away from the interior 18 of the container 10.
  • the tabs 54 have arcuately shaped, conically converging surfaces 56 which define a truncated cone.
  • the arcuate surfaces 56 form an oval shaped tab 54 when viewed in Figure 6.
  • the oval shaped tabs 54 have a longitudinal axis A which is substantially vertical and perpendicular to the bottom 20 of the base 12 when the walls 14 are in their upright position.
  • the terminal portions 52 are themselves defined by a pair of marginal members 62 which are disposed in spaced parallel relationship with respect to one another and parallel to the plane defined by their associated sidewalls 14.
  • a plurality of reinforcing flanges 64 extend between the marginal members 62 so as to form open ended box-like sections between the marginal members 62.
  • This arrangement strengthens the terminal portions 52 while presenting a smooth planer surface on the surface 66 of the marginal members 62 facing the interior 18 of the container at the terminal portions 52 when the container is in its upright position.
  • the side and end walls 14, 16 present smooth planer surfaces facing the interior of the container even on the surface 66 of the marginal members 62 of the terminal portions 52 of the sidewalls 14.
  • hinge axes 70 for the opposed end walls 16 are also disposed on a common horizontal plane bisecting these axes 70.
  • the plane bisecting the hinge axes 68 is spaced vertically from and parallel to the plane bisecting the hinge axes 70.
  • the end walls 16 are supported as will be discussed in further detail below.
  • the base sides 32 for the opposed end walls 16 have an upper marginal edge 76 disposed above each hinge axis 68, 70 which forms a platform surface 78 for supporting another container 10 when one container is stacked on another in the collapsed position.
  • the collapsible material handling container as described above is preferably molded of a thermoplastic such as high density polyethylene, or Xenoy®, Cycolac®, Cycoly® or Lexan®, the latter four of which are engineering thermoplastics available from General Electric Company GE Plastics division.
  • the container of the subject invention is not formed using a structural foam molding process. Rather, the walls and base of the subject invention are formed via a gas assist, low pressure injection molding process using the methods and apparatuses as described for example in United States Patent No. 4,824,732 issued to Watson et al. for a Process and Apparatus for Injection Moulding and Mouldings Produced Thereby; United States Patent No.
