Abstract

A collapsible container 10 includes a plurality of walls 14, 18 collapsible onto the base 12. At least one wall 18 has a support 20 pivotably mounted to an upper end portion thereof. The support 20 is pivotable between a support position where it is partially supported on an adjacent wall 14 and a retracted position. In the retracted position, the wall 18 can be pivoted downward onto the base 12, with a portion 21 of the support 20 passing though a channel 24 formed on the interior of the adjacent wall 14. As the wall 18 is pivoted to the upright position, the support 20 is automatically deployed into the support position by its engagement with the channel 24. The base 12 further includes at least one channel 34 formed therein for receiving at least a portion of the support structure 20 when the adjacent wall 14 is in the collapsed position. The at least one channel 34 is preferably located in an opposing pair of upstanding base portions 32.

Description

CONTAINER
BACKGROUNj OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to collapsible crates and more particularly to a collapsible crate with support members for supporting another Container thereon.
Collapsible crates are well known. Four walls each connected via a hinge to a base are selectively movable about the hinge between a use position, in which the wall is generally perpendicular to the base, and a collapsed position onto the base.
Various mechanisms have been provided to connect adjacent walls at the corner to selectively lock the crate in the use position.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a collapsible container having a plurality of walls collapsible onto the base. At least one wall has a support mounted to an upper end portion thereof.
In one example embodiment, the support is pivotably mounted to an upper end portion of the at least one wall. The support is pivotable between a support position where it is partially supported on an adjacent wall and a retracted position.
In the retracted position, the wall can be pivoted downward onto the base, with a portion of the support passing through a channel formed on the interior of the adjacent wall.
In another example, the support is integrally formed with the upper portion of the at least one wall.
The supports may be formed on short end walls of the container, such that the supports and end walls can be collapsed onto the base and the long side walls can be pivoted onto the end walls. In this manner, the supports are protected from damage during shipping of the containers in the collapsed position. The supports may also be formed on long side walls of the container, such that the supports and side walls can be collapsed onto the base and the short end walls can be pivoted onto the side walls.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to Figure 1, a container 10 includes a base 12 having upstanding side walls 14 (or long walls) and upstanding end walls 18 (or short walls). The side walls 14 and end walls 18 are pivotably connected along long and short edges of the base 12, respectively. The side walls 14 and end walls 18 are movable between the upright position shown and a collapsed position on the base 12.
Each end wall 18 has a support 20 (or flap) pivotably mounted to an upper portion thereof. The supports 20 are shown in Figure 1 pivoted to a support position generally perpendicular to the end walls 18 and projecting into the interior of the container 10. In the support position, laterally-extending tabs 21 are supported on the side walls 14.
The interiors of the side walls 14 each include an upper frame portion 22 protruding into the container 10. A pair of curved channels 24 is formed through each upper frame portion 22. The interiors of the side walls 14 each further include a lower frame portion 26 having a pair of channels 28 formed therethrough. A recess 30 is defined between the upper frame portion 22 and the lower frame portion 26. The base 12 includes a pair of side upstanding portions 32 to which the side walls 14 are pivotably attached. Each side upstanding portion 32 includes a pair of IS channels 34 formed on an interior thereof. The channels 24, 28 and 34 are aligned with one another in a manner that will be explained below. The base 12 further includes a pair of end upstanding portions 36 to which the end waIls 18 are pivotably attached.
Referring to Figure 2, with the supports 20 in the support position, another container 100 can be supported on the supports 20 of the container 10.
Figure 3 is an interior perspective view, partially broken away, of the container 10 of Figure 1. The support 20 includes a stop member 38, such as an elongated rib projecting outwardly from a bottom edge of the support 20. The support 20 further includes an interlocking feature 40, such as an elongated rib extending upwardly from an upper edge of the support 20. As shown, the tab 21 of the support 20 is received in a recess 44 at the upper edge of the side wall 14 when the support 20 is in the support position. As can also be seen in Figure 3, the tab 21 does not align with the channels 24, 28 or 34 when the support 20 is in the support position. The end wall 18 includes a handle 42 formed therein.
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken along lines 4-4 of Figure 3. The end wall 18 may be pivotably connected to the base 12 via a hinge including a hinge member 48 integral with the end wall 18 and a hinge pin 50 integral with the base 12.
Figure 5 is a sectional view taken along lines 5-5 of Figure 3. The support is pivotably connected to an upper portion of the end wall 18 via a hinge including a hinge member 54 integrally molded with the support 20 and a hinge pin 56 integrally molded with the end wall 18.
Figure 6 is a view similar to that of Figure 3, with the support 20 in the retracted position (i.e. retracted from the interior of the container 10). In the retracted position, the support 20 is pivoted upwardly until the stop member 38 abuts the upper edge of the end wall 18, thereby preventing further movement. In the retracted position, the support 20 does not project into the interior of the container 10 and is generally parallel to the end wall 18, extending upwardly from the upper edge of the end wall 18. As can be seen in Figure 6, the tab 21 includes a recess 58 on its underside that receives a projection 60 adjacent the recess 44 in the side wall 14 so that the tab 21 interlocks with the side wall 14.
Figure 7 illustrates the container 10 of Figure 6 with the end wall 18 being pivoted toward the collapsed position. With the support 20 in the retracted (upright) position, as the end wall 18 is pivoted downwardly, the tab 21 of the support 20 passes through the channel 24 in the upper frame portion 22, through the recess 30, through the channel 28 in the lower frame portion 26 and through the channel 34 in the side upstanding portion 32 of the base 12. Figure 8 illustrates the container 10 of Figure 6 with the end wall 18 in the collapsed position. The tab 21 of the support 20 is received in the channel 34 in the side upstanding portion 32 of the base 12. The end wall 18 and support 20 lie flush with the base 12. The other end wall 18 (not shown) collapses similarly and the end walls 18 do not overlap each other. The side walls 14 can then be collapsed onto the end walls 18. The supports 20 are flush with the end walls 18 and protected by the side walls 14.
Figure 9 is an enlarged sectional view take along line 9-9 of Figure 6. As shown, the hinge member 54 of the support 20 includes a projection 64 that interacts with a projection 66 on the end wall 18 to form a detent that retains the support 20 in the retracted, upright position. The hinge member 54 extends into a cavity 70 formed at the upper inner edge of the end wall 18. The projection 66 is formed on a lower surface of the cavity 70. The stop member 38 of the support 20 abuts the upper edge of the end wall 18 to prevent further rotation.
Figure 10 illustrates the container 10 of Figure 8 with the side wall 14 collapsed onto the end wall 18. Figure 1OA is an exterior perspective view of the container 10 showing a latch 72 that could be used to connect adjacent walls 14, 18.
Although for clarity they have not been illustrated in the other Figures herein, it is known that collapsible containers, such as the collapsible container 10 (and the collapsible container 110, below), have latches connecting adjacent walls in the upright position. The latches can be manual latches 72 as shown in Figure 1 OA, or knock-down latches. The latch 72, or any other sort of latch, could also be used in the container 110 described below.
Figure 11 illustrates a container 110 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The container 110 includes a base 112 having upstanding side walls 114 (or long walls) and upstanding end walls 118 (or short walls). The side walls 114 and end walls 118 are pivotably connected along long and short edges of the base 112, respectively. The side walls 114 and end walls 118 are movable between the upright position shown and a collapsed position on the base 112.
Each end wall 118 has a support 20 pivotably mounted to an upper portion thereof. The supports 120 are shown in Figure 11 pivoted to a support position generally perpendicular to the end walls 118 and projecting into the interior of the container 110. Each support 120 includes an elongated rail 123 and a pair of arms 125 extending perpendicularly from the rail 123. In the support position, laterally-extending ends 121 of the rail 123 arc supported on the side walls 114.
The interiors of the side walls 114 each include an upper frame portion 122 protruding into the container 110. A pair of curved channels 124 is formed through each upper frame portion 122. The interiors of the side walls 114 each further include a lower frame portion 126 having a pair of channels 128 formed therethrough. A recess 130 is defined between the upper frame portion 122 and the lower frame portion 126. The base 112 includes a pair of side upstanding portions 132 to which the side walls 114 are pivotably attached. Each side upstanding portion 132 includes a pair of channels 134 formed on an interior thereof. The channels 124, 128 and 134 are aligned with one another. The base 112 further includes a pair of end upstanding portions 136 to which the end walls 118 are pivotably attached.
Figure 12 illustrates the container of Figure II with the second container 100 supported thereon.
Figure 13 is a perspective view of one of the supports 120 of Figure 11. Each support 120 includes the elongated rail 123 and the pair of arms 125 extending perpendicularly from the rail 123. A slot 127 is formed on the underside of the rail 123 adjacent each end 121. Each of the arms 125 includes an integral pivot pin 129 at an end of the arm 125 opposite the rail 123. Each of the arms 125 includes a shoulder 131 spaced away from the rail 123.
Figure 14 is an interior perspective view, partially broken away, of the container 110 of Figure 11. As shown, the end 121 of the support 120 is received in a recess 144 at the upper edge of the side wall 114 adjacent the channel 124 when the support 120 is in the support position. The end 121 of the rail 123 does not align with the channels 124, 128 or 134 when the support 120 is in the support position.
The end wall 118 includes a handle 142 formed therein.
Figure 15 is a sectional view taken along lines 15-15 of Figure 14. The end wall 118 may be pivotably connected to the base 112 via a hinge including a hinge member 148 integral with the end wall 118 and a hinge pin 150 integral with the base 112.
Figure 16 is a view similar to that of Figure 14, with the support 120 in the vertical position. In Figure 16, the support 120 has been pivoted about pivot pin 129 from the support position shown in Figure 16 to the vertical position. The rail 123 is spaced above an upper edge of the end waIl 118, with the arm 125 fully extended.
The pivot pin 129 is pivotably and slidably connected to a channel 170 in the end wall 118. An upwardly projecting rib 160 is adjacent the recess 144 in the upper edge of the side wall 114 for interlocking with the slot 127 in the end 121 of the rail 123.
Figure 17 is a view similar to that of Figure 16, with the support 120 in the fully retracted position. The arm 125 is inserted into the channel 170 in the end wall 118 until the shoulder 131 abuts the upper edge of the end wall 118, leaving the rail 123 and the end 121 of the rail 123 a known distance from the upper edge of the end wall 118.
In this position, the end wall 118 can be pivoted to the collapsed position as shown in Figure 18. As the end wall 118 is being pivoted toward the collapsed position, the end 121 of the rail 123 passes through the channel 124, the recess 130, the channel 128 and the channel 134 until the end wall 118 lies on the base 112, as shown in Figure 19. Figure 20 is an enlarged sectional view take along line 20-20 of Figure 19.
Referring to Figure 21, a container 210, according to a third embodiment, includes a base 212 having upstanding side walls 214 (or long walls) and upstanding end walls 218 (or short walls). The side walls 214 and end walls 218 are pivotably connected along long and short edges of the base 212, respectively. The side walls 214 and end walls 218 are movable between the upright position as shown and a collapsed position as shown in Figure 28.
Each end wall 218 has a support 220 integrally molded to an upper portion thereof. The supports 220 are fixed in a support position generally perpendicular to the end walls 218 and include support tabs 221, projecting into the interior of the container 210. The support tabs 221 extend substantially horizontally inward from the end walls 218.
The interiors of the side walls 214 each include an upper frame portion 222 and a lower frame portion 226 protruding into the container 210. A pair of vertical channels 224 is formed on an outer surface of each of the pair of side walls 214. A recess 230 is defined between the upper frame portion 222 and the lower frame portion 226.
The base 212 includes a pair of side upstanding portions 232 to which the side walls 214 are pivotably attached. A pair of support channels 228 is formed as a pair of openings through the base 212. The base 212 further includes a pair of end upstanding portions 236 to which the end walls 218 are pivotably attached.
Figure 22 is a top view of an interior of the container 210, which includes the base 212 having upstanding side walls 214 (or long walls) and upstanding end walls 218 (or short walls) pivotably connected along long and short edges of the base 212 respectively. The side walls 214 and the end walls 218, which are moveable between an upright position and a collapsed position (Figure 28), are shown the upright position.
Supports 220 are integrally molded along an upper edge of each of the pair of end walls 218. Each of the supports 220 includes a support tab 221 that extends substantially horizontally inward from each of the end walls 218, such that each support tab 221 is substantially perpendicular to each respective end wall 218. In the upright position, the support tabs 221 provide structure to support a second container 310 (Figure 25) stacked thereon. It should be appreciated, however, that each of the supports 220 including the support tabs 221 could also be formed separate from the end walls 218 and subsequently mounted to the end walls 218.
A pair of support channels 228, which are formed within the base 212, extend from one of the side walls 214 to the other of the side walls 214. The support channels 228 provide clearance for the support tabs 221, when the container 210 is in the collapsed position as shown in Figure 28.
Referring to Figure 23, the side wall 214 is pivotable about an axis A-A from an upright position as shown to a collapsed position as shown in Figure 28. The axis A-A is located at an intersection formed by the side upstanding portion 232 of the base 212 and the side wall 214.
Referring to Figure 24, the end wall 218 is pivotable about an axis B-B from an upright position as shown to a collapsed position as shown in Figure 28. The axis B-B is located at an intersection formed by the end upstanding portion 236 of the base 212 and the end wall 218.
Figure 25 illustrates the container 210 of Figure 21 with the second container supported thereon.
Figure 26 is a sectional view taken along lines 26-26 of Figure 25. The second container 100 includes a bottom 312, side walls 314 and end walls 318. A support lip 320 protrudes from an underside 322 of the bottom 312 of the second container 100 and extends around a periphery of the underside 322.
As further illustrated in Figure 27, the support lip 320 includes a support surface 324 that rests on the support tabs 221 of the container 210 to support the second container 310 thereon.
Figure 28 illustrates the container 210 of Figure 21 in the collapsed position.
End walls 218 are pivoted inward about axes A-A and collapsed onto the base 212.
Side walls 214 are pivoted inward about axes B-B and collapsed substantially onto the end walls 218. In the collapsed position, the end walls 218 define a first plane substantially parallel to a base plane defined by the base 212. Further, in the collapsed position, the side walls 214 define a second plane substantially parallel to both the first plane and the base plane. The first plane being a first distance D1 away from the base plane and the second plane being a second distance D2, greater than the first distance D1, away from the base plane.
Figure 29 illustrates the collapsed container 210 of Figure 28 with a second collapsed container 210' stacked thereon.
Figure 30 is a sectional view taken along lines 30-30 of Figure 29. The collapsed container 210 has the second collapsed container 210' stacked thereon.
Each collapsed container 210, 210' includes a base 212, 212' having support channels 224, 224' formed therethrough.
