Description

The invention relates to storage boxes for storing agricultural products, mainly vegetables and fruits. A well-known box for vegetables and fruits, comprising a body and cone-shaped racks, the outer sides of which protrude beyond the side walls for stacking boxes. The disadvantage of this box is the low rigidity of the connection of the racks to the bottom. A well-known box for vegetables and fruits, comprising a body consisting of a bottom and side walls extending upwards and having edges bent outward and also end walls 2. A disadvantage of this box is the occurrence of tensile stresses in the box walls when stacked. The purpose of the invention is to increase the strength of the box. This goal is achieved by the fact that in the fruit and vegetable box, comprising a housing consisting of a bottom and side walls, extending upwards and having edges bent outward, as well as end walls, on each end edge of the bottom, there is a transverse L-shaped bend with the holes on the edge of each side wall are made of two transverse slots, and the end walls have on the side edges of the L-shaped protrusions that are placed in the slots when assembling the box, and in the lower part of the end walls there are holes for mounting fasteners s. FIG. 1 shows the box, a general view; in fig. 2 shows section A-A in FIG. one; in fig. 3 shows a section BB in FIG. 2; in fig. 4 shows a section in FIG. five; in fig. 5 is a section of YYD in FIG. four; in fig. 6 - stacked boxes; A fruit and vegetable box consists of body 1, two end posts 2 and fastening elements 3. Case 1 includes two side walls 4 expanding upwards, the top edges 5 of which are bent outwards, and the bottom 6. In bent edges transverse slots 7 are made on the sides. In the bottom, in the plane of each of these slots, an L-shaped bend 8 is made, facing with its narrowing part into the box. Holes 9 are made in the crest of the bend. The end wall in the lower part has a trapezoid notch 10, and on the side edges L-shaped protrusions 11. In the upper part of the end wall there is a trapezoidal protrusion 12. In the lower part of the wall there are two holes 13 for mounting fasteners 3 The height of the end wall is greater than the height of the side walls, which provides ventilation of the product. The box is assembled as follows. The end walls are mounted in the housing. In this case, the protrusions 14 of the end walls enter the holes 9 in the bend 8, and the L-shaped projections enter the slots 7. Thereafter, the end wall is fastened to the case with a fastening element 3, made in the form of a wedge, which is inserted into the hole 13. As a result, a vent 15 is formed. The protrusions 14 serve as supports for the crate. When stacked, the top box is placed on the bottom so that the end wall with its protrusion 12 enters into the cavity of bend 8. The possible movement of the boxes when they are transported in piles is limited in one direction by bend 8 and in perpendicular direction to it by protrusions 14. Due to walls with a housing using L-shaped projections box has a high strength. When stacked in pallets, the boxes are securely connected to each other, which ensures their transportation without destroying the pile and damaging it by any means of transport. The proposed box is easily disassembled and assembled in field conditions, with empty boxes being transported disassembled by compactly placing the cases one into the other, and the end walls are tied together with twine, wire or packed in separate boxes. At the same time, disassembled and stacked boxes occupy a small volume. Transporting them is efficient.
