DESCRIPTION OF THE PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE Corrugated shipping containers are used as a method to handle materials in large quantities. The containers are usually formed as large boxes, typically comprise side walls, a bottom defining a flat surface to support materials packed therein, and a top sheet of cover. The shipping container is usually placed on a wooden pallet to provide space and support means to allow a sufficient distance from the floor to allow the teeth of the forks of the lift truck to be inserted under the pallet and the shipping container onto the pallet. the same to support the load so that it can move from one place to another. The pallets used for this purpose are made of wood, metal, plastic, or combinations thereof. Conventional pallets manufactured from these materials are costly to make and use due to the cost of the materials, the cost of construction and the cost of disposal. Usually, these conventional types of pallets have to be returned after shipment to the shipper to be reused or the pallets have to be disposed of in an appropriate manner. Disposal of conventional wooden pallets and nails is a problem after exposure to chemical or biochemical materials, which contaminate the pallet since not all construction pallet materials can be destroyed through incineration and should generally be discarded in a hazardous waste field, which is inconvenient and expensive.

DESCRIPTION PE THE PREFERRED MODALITY The present invention is a package of corrugated collapsible container and integral pallet made of a corrugated, disposable or recirculating, high strength, low weight material, which provides a compact collapsible shipping container including an integral corrugated pallet and providing superior access or lateral in the erect state. The preferred embodiment uses corrugated end wrapping supports having a sheet of corrugated material having a plurality of score lines bent inwardly forming a generally rectangular conduit support member which are used in combination with at least one corrugated sheet to form a corrugated pallet. Within the hollow conduit of the end shell supports, individual support members are formed from one or more layers of a narrow strip of corrugated material having a plurality of marks cut thereon along the surface of a side to fold the strip in a generally square configuration. The creases of the corrugated material comprising the support member and the opposing panel support ends are oriented in the vertical plane to maximize resistance to the weight ratio. It is contemplated that the present invention can be manufactured from a plastic material, as well as other types of card stock.

The various embodiments of the corrugated pallet used in the present invention should be described in detail and then described in combination with the aspects of the container.

CORRUGATED PALETTE The corrugated pallet 10 of the present invention is designed using one or more layers of individual or multiple folds of semi-rigid material, such as corrugated cardboard, cardboard fiber. Corrugated plastic sheets for the manufacture of inexpensive disposable slides. It is contemplated that the sheet material may be coated with oil, wax, a surfactant, or a polymer film to repel moisture. The semi-rigid material is typically cut into sheets and strips of material held together preferably with an adhesive, such as rubber, or through staples, rivets, or other fastening means. The sheet material is fed to a die, which makes the cuts and marking lines for the number of flexing panel limbs required for the load capacity of a particular pallet. As shown in Figure 1, a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a corrugated blade of individual sheet 12 having at least one first primary support sheet 14 comprising a single sheet of a single fold, two folds, three folds, of four folds, or of corrugated multiple corrugated pleats supported by a plurality of support end members 16. Figure 1 shows the primary support sheet 14 of a preferred embodiment, including a plurality of flexable panels 18 each being defined by a pair of parallel cutting lines 20 on each side opposite each other and intersecting with a central cutting line 22 in a general form of "I". In addition, perforations are formed by marking lines 24 on the primary support sheet 14 intersecting the distal ends of each of the cut lines 20 to loosely join the generally rectangular or square panels 18 formed therein for the primary support sheet 14. The support members 16 are also made of strips 30 of double folded corrugated cardboard having four marked lines 32 spaced apart from one another normal to the longitudinal axis as illustrated in Figures 12 and 13. The strips 30 are folded into a square or rectangular formation, so that the distant ends 34 and 36 respectfully join at a point 40 between the corners, preferably in the central section of square support member 16. The thickness and size of the wall of the support members 38 vary depending on the weight of the load supported and the number of support members 16 used. As best illustrated in Figures 4-10, exerting pressure on the surface of the panel template through the insertion of a support member 16 forces the flexable panels 18 downwardly opposite each other and normal to the surface of the panel. the primary support sheet 14 forming a pair of opposite panel ends 26. The support members 16 are rotated and are placed between the panel ends 26, so that the junction point 40 of the distal ends 34, 36 of the Support member 16 are adjacent and contiguous with one side of one of the flexible panels 18. Support members 16 can be attached to panel ends 26 through various fastening means such as staples, rivets, tape, locking tabs , or fasteners; however, in the preferred embodiment, a gum, preferably a water-soluble gum, is used as an adhesive to hold the opposing panel ends 26 securely to the support members 16. In the preferred embodiment, the end members of support 16 are dimensioned and configured to provide a complementary fit with the panel ends 26. The insertion of the support members 16 into the panel ends 26 provides a reinforcing structure, since the depth of the support member 16 extends in the length of the panel ends 26 and the thickness of the primary support panel 14 in order to provide optimum support for the load as best shown in Figures 1-11. Surrounding or wrapping the panel ends 26 with a support member 16 provides a reinforcing structure, since the depth of the support members 16 extends the length of the panel ends 26 minus the thickness of the primary support panel 14, so that the upper edge of the support members 16 support the bottom surface of the primary support panel 14 around the opening formed by the panels 18 to provide optimum support for the load and to mitigate the stress at the junction of the panel ends 26 to the panel support panel 14. However, it is contemplated that the support members 16 may be of a greater or lesser depth than that of the primary support panel by providing the lateral support and providing an edge or side wall between the panel ends 26 and the support member to facilitate the stacking of the corrugated blades 10 one on top of the other. In addition, as shown in Figure 4, an adhesive, such as a water soluble or biodegradable gum, is applied to the template surface of the primary support sheet 14 prior to insertion of the support member 16. The insertion of the support members 16 through the primary support panel 14 distribute the adhesive on the surface of the support members 16 as the support members 16 are pushed through the marked template. Figure 10 shows a side view of a single sheet corrugated blade 12 showing the end panels 16 secured to opposite sides of a support member 38. Figure 11 shows an end view of a single sheet corrugated blade, where folds 42 of the flex panels 18 are aligned with the folds 44 of the primary support sheet 14, so that the flexable panel folds 42 extend normal to the support surface. Figures 3-11 shows a top plan view of folds 36, 46 of the support members 16, 48 extending through the primary support sheet 14. Furthermore, it is contemplated that several layers of multiple pleat sheets may be adhesively connected by forming layers of corrugated sheets in combination with the primary panel 14 and the support members 16 having multiple layers of folds to provide the desired strength required for a particular load carrying an application. Figures 4-7 show a support member 48 made from a strip 30 of the corrugated material having 8 score lines 32 extending normal to the longitudinal axis of the strip 30 forming strip sections (50, 52, 54, 56, 58 , 60, 62, 64 and 66). The distal ends 34 and 36 are bent inwardly so that the outer surface of the strip sections 50 and 66 are contiguous with and adhesively secured to the inner surface of the strip section 58 to form double layer reinforcement means with "T" shape inside the reinforced support member 48. The reinforced support members 48 may be inserted into the primary support panels 14, 48 instead of, or in addition to, the square support members 16 as shown in FIG. Figure 13. The insertion of support members 16, 48 through the sheets 14 and 68 compresses the flexable panels 18 downwards and simultaneously extends the adhesive from the surface of the first panel of the primary support 14 and / or the second primary support panel 68 onto the external surface of the support member 16 to securely hold the support member between them at the four ends of panel 26. As shown in Figures 8-11, an alternative embodiment employs a first laminated, multi-pleated, double-superior support sheet 72 as a sheet of top cover adhesively bonded to the surface of the primary support sheet 14, 68, and the folded edges 46 of the corrugated support members 16, 48. The upper support sheet 72 is generally rotated 90 ° before adhesion to the primary support sheet 14 or 68, so that the folds of the sheet 74 run perpendicular to the folds of the primary support sheet 44 to increase The resistance of the corrugated pallet 10 is shown as shown in Figure 16. The primary support sheet folds 44 run parallel with the flex panel folds 42. Also, as shown in Figure 12, a base sheet of pleats multiple bent 26 can also be adhesively secured to the edges of the panel ends 28 and the edges of the support members 16 secured therein forming a corrugated blade of three sheets 80. As with the top sheet, the base sheet 76 it is usually rotated 90 ° before the adhesion to the primary support sheet 14, 68, so that the folds of the laminated sheet 74 run perpendicular to the folds of the primary support sheet 44 to maximize the strength of the three-layered corrugated pallet 80. The folds of the first laminated sheet 74 run parallel to the base sheet folds 78 opposite the supporting sheet pleats. rimaria 44 and the flexable panel folds 42 as shown in Figures 22-24. Figures 13 and 16-17 illustrate corrugated multilayer end wrap blades having longitudinal end wrap supporting members 106 extending the full length of the corrugated blades. The corrugated end wrap vanes 104 provide longitudinal support means that extend across the width of the vane 10 and are adapted to move by extending the teeth of a lift truck between the end caps 106 and / or through the passages. formed through the end wraps 106. As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the end wrap support members 106 are manufactured by marking a sheet of multi-pleated corrugated end wrap 107 on one side and folding the sheet 107 around a plurality of separate and parallel marks forming folds 108 along the same and panel sections therebetween. The folds 108 separate the corrugated sheet 107 into wide upper panel and lower panel sections having alternating narrow side sections therebetween. More particularly, a first wide panel section 110 and a second wide panel section 112 are hingedly connected together through a first narrow side panel section 114 positioned therebetween. A second narrow side panel section 116 is hingedly connected to the first wide panel section 110, and a third narrow side panel section 118 is hingedly connected to the second wide panel section 112. Support means are applied, such as a pressure-sensitive adhesive or water-soluble gum, between the outer narrow side panel sections 116 and 118 and the panel sections that join them together and form the end shell supports rectangular shape 106. In addition, transverse grooves can be formed 120 o transverse grooves with rupture fins 122 in the end wrapping supports 108 simultaneously with the marking process. The fins 120 and the finned grooves 122 are adapted to accommodate the teeth of the fork of a lift truck. The finned grooves 122 are formed by creating score lines 124 in and cut 126 through the corrugated sheet 107 as best seen in Figures 41-44. The slots 120 are formed by stamping cuts 126 through the corrugated sheet 107. The panel sections 106-118 are folded along the folds 108 to a position aligning the slots 120.122 formed therein providing a passage or conduit 128 with a generally rectangular shape, extending normal to the longitudinal axis of the end wrap 108 through the vertical side panel sections 114-118. The slots 120, 122 are sized to provide the necessary clearance according to the width and thickness of a typical fork lift truck tooth. The slots 120, 122 are formed in the upper portion of the narrow side panel sections 114-118, so that the forks of the elevator car inserted in the slots 120, 122 are raised upwards distributing the upward force on the underside of the upper upper panel section 110 of the end shell 106. The corrugated end shell vane 104 shown in Figure 13 incorporates at least two end envelopes 106, and preferably three end shells 104, spaced apart in alignment parallel. The end wraps 106 can be attached to a support surface comprising sheets or panels using support means such as staples, rivets, tapes, closure tabs formed therein, etc.; however, the preferred attachment means is through the use of a biodegradable adhesive, such as a water soluble or solvent soluble gum. The end wraps 106 can also be manufactured having a backing of adhesion sensitive adhesive 96 covered with a non-tacky film, or waxed paper material 98 forming an independent end wrap backing 106 that can be attached to the bottom of any type of slide or pallet 10 for additional structural support. A multi-pleated corrugated base sheet 76 may be attached through supporting means, such as through an adhesive, to the lower surface of the end shells 106 of the single layer end shell corrugated vane 130 shown in Figure 13 to form a sandwich vane of corrugated end wrap 140. The base sheet 76 is usually aligned so that the base sheet pleats 78 run perpendicular to the end shell plies 132 to maximize resistance of the sandwich end wrap sandwich 140. Shown in Figure 15, there is the corrugated support sheet 72, 76 and is perforated with a pair of separate parallel score lines consisting of an inner mark line 86 and a line of external mark 88 forming an internal panel 90 and an outer panel 92 on each side of the support sheet 72-76 forming a doublet therein. As shown in Figures 16-17, the end caps 106 and / or conduit supports 142 are inserted and adhesively fixed to the bottom of the support sheet 72 or the base sheet 76. The internal panels 90 and the outer panels 92 are bent inwardly around the end shells 106 or conduit supports 142 forming side rails 84 on each side of the corrugated vane 10. It is contemplated that additional support sheets 72 and / or base sheets 76 may be used in combination with the corrugated pallet 156 having side slides 84. As shown in Figures 18-31, the corrugated collapsible container package 158 of the present invention includes an integral corrugated pallet as described above. Preferably, an end shell support vane 130, as shown and described in Figure 13, has ducts 128 that accommodate the teeth of a lift carriage extending through the sides of the end shell supports 106, as well as between them. The backing sheet 72, 74 of the preferred embodiment may optionally include cutting thorns 160 to provide a depression for adapting the multiple layers of the corners and side corners, which must be overlapped at the corners of the collapsible container 158 to provide side access.

The side panels 174 are placed in a tray 164 between the side walls of the end wrapper blade 130 and the inner surface of the tray lid 188. , so that the vertical edges of the side panels 180 of the side wall sheets 174 overlap each other. A cutting tray reinforcement sheet with die 200 having cutouts 202 to facilitate the teeth of a lifting carriage to be placed between the inner surface of the strip lip 188 and the outer surface of the sidewall sheets 174 to provide structural support and rigidity to the structure. Figure 28 shows an alternative modality, wherein only three sheets are used to provide the side walls of the container pack 210. A removable side wall sheet 124, as described above, is used in combination with two wraparound side wall sheets 212. The wraparound side wall sheets 212 consist of a sidewall sheet 174 having score lines to facilitate flexing of the sheet forming corners 216 and the forming end panels 214 attached thereto or formed therein, such that the vertical end faces 218 of each of the wraparound side wall sheets 212 coincide in the center. Each of the end panels has a cutting portion 220 in the bottom to align with the cuts 128 formed in the end wrapping supports 106 or in alignment with the space between the end wrapping supports 106. Of course, it is contemplated that the individual side wall sheet 174 can also be removed each time a wraparound side wall sheet 212 can use a second opposite end panel 214; however, the convenience of the lateral entry could be eliminated, and lateral access is an important aspect of the present invention. It is contemplated that the vertical support members 162 may be cut to a selected length, so that two or more could be adjusted end-to-end at the corners of the container package 158 between the interior surface of the corner of the tray 164 and / or lid 166 and the outer surface of the corners of the side wall sheets 174 and secured in place through a frictional fit of other holding means such as an adhesive or staples; however, additional support is usually not necessary to obtain a solid fit. As shown in Figures 23, 27, 29-30, a folded corrugated panel or compressible strip 204 can also be used at the corners of the container package 158 between the bottom surface of the corner of the tray 164 and / or lid 166 as damping means, and around the outer surface of the corners of the sidewall sheets 174 as protective means secured in place through a friction fit or other supporting means such as an adhesive, staples or strips. As shown in Figures 21 and 22, a separation panel 204 can be fabricated having separate projections 206 using multiple pleated corrugated cardboard strips 208 having a plurality of notches cut therein at selected positions forming protrusions therebetween. The corrugated cardboard strips 206 shown in the separation panel 204 consist of two strips secured normal to a corrugated sheet; however, a plurality of cardboard strips 208 may be used to separate and hold the material in place. The separation panel 204 can simply be placed on the surface of the pallet 130 within the tray and / or inverted and placed on the items that will be held in place within the container package 158 and held in place by the lid 1.66 . A collapsible, corrugated, complete container package 158 is shown erect in Figures 26 and 27, wherein the secured lid corners 194 and the secured tray corners 184 are positioned on the right side and the separable lid corners 196 separable tray corners 186 are placed on the left side. The corrugated collapsible container package 158 shown shown in Figure 27 utilizes the vertical support members 162, which are supported by the lid 166 in the collapsed position, are used as cushioning means to provide extra protection to the band strips 225 used. to hold the lid 166 to the body of the corrugated collapsible container 158. In addition, tray protectors 197 and 199 can be provided, as shown in Figure 29, which provide optional means to protect the tray and / or lid of the container. damage to strip 225. The assembly of the collapsible corrugated container is simple, as best illustrated in Figure 29, take the top of the crushed package and remove all parts of the package. Insert the long side panels into the bottom tray so that the cuts on the bottom tray will coincide with the cuts on the side panels. Place the end panel on the back of the bottom tray, where the fins are joined by staples and glued with rubber. The front of the package has fins with hook and loop fasteners that match and are close to the bottom tray. Place the upper extension bars 211 or the lid support members in line with the marking lines of the two side panels. Place the lid on top of the two side panels and the end panel. The hook and loop fasteners are on the front, and the fins placed with staples and glued with rubber will be on the back coinciding with the bottom tray according to the illustration. The front flaps secured with the hook and loop can be kept open to load household items in the package. After loading the package, place the front panel in front of the adjustment package ensuring that the cuts on the front panel match the cuts on the bottom tray. The fins on the front panel will be fixed inside the bottom tray fins and top cover fins. To bring the unit closer, fold the upper lid flaps underneath the bottom tray fins securing them with the hook and loop fasteners. The finished corrugated collapsible container is as shown in Figure 30. Additional structural strength can be provided by running a band horizontally around the top cap making sure that the band is located in the small cuts 213 formed in the cap as shown in the Figure 31. You can also run a band horizontally around the bottom tray. Another horizontal band centered can be extended around the container and supported by protective corner strips. Then, a pair of strips can be made to run around the height length of the container, and around the length and width of the container.
