Description
- This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) of U.S. Provisional No. 60/636,103, filed Dec. 16, 2004.
- The present invention relates to a collapsible crate assembly. More particularly, the present invention relates to a collapsible crate assembly having a base which support posts are removably connected. Still more particularly, the present invention relates to a collapsible crate assembly having a support assembly secured to a base and a post assembly removably connected to the support assembly. The collapsible crate assembly is quickly and easily collapsed by removing the support posts from the support assembly connected to the base.
- Wood pallets are relatively inexpensive, and thus are preferred in many applications. However, wood pallets do not provide support to the product when floor stacked. Many products require expensive packaging for support when stacked. Crates with uprights support the product when stacked, but wood crates are more difficult to assemble than wood pallets.
- Steel pallets and crates have been used for applications that require the storage and transportation of heavy articles, and for applications in which wood pallets and crates are unsuitable. However, steel pallets and crates are significantly more expensive than the wood pallets and crates. For certain applications, steel pallets are too expensive to be a viable solution. A need exists for an inexpensive and strong crate assembly that is strong enough to be used with heavy articles.
- Crate assemblies are typically large and bulky, and are difficult to store and transport when assembled. Crates that do not collapse when empty require extra warehouse storage space. Moreover, non-collapsible crates are expensive to return to the manufacturer because their size limits the amount of crates that can be carried on a return truck. Therefore, a need exists for a crate assembly that is easily collapsible for empty storage and return transportation.
- Due to the abundance of wood pallets, it would be inefficient and costly to discard existing wood pallets to acquire a new and stronger crate assembly. Therefore, a need exists for a crate assembly made by modifying existing wood pallets.
- Thus, a need exists for an improved crate assembly that is easily and quickly assembled and collapsed while providing improved strength.
- Accordingly, it is an objective of the present invention to provide a quickly and easily collapsible crate assembly.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a collapsible crate assembly having a support assembly that is retrofittable to existing pallet bases.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive and strong collapsible crate assembly.
- The foregoing objects are basically attained by providing a collapsible crate assembly, which includes a base and a first support member secured to the base. The first support member has first and second ends. A first socket member is connected to the first end and a second socket member is connected to the second end of the first support member. A first post is removably received by the first socket member. A second post is removably received by the second socket member. A first cross support member is removably connected to the first and second posts. The first and second posts are received by the first and second socket members and the first cross support member is received by the first and second posts when the crate assembly is in an assembled condition. The first and second posts are removed from the first and second socket members and the first cross support member is received by the first and second socket members when the crate assembly is in a collapsed condition.
- The foregoing objects are also attained by providing a reinforced pallet assembly, which includes a wood pallet having upper and lower decks secured together by at least one wood stringer. At least one metallic support member is secured to the at least one wood stringer. A metallic socket is connected to each end of the metallic support member and is adapted to removably receive a support assembly. Thus, a reinforced pallet assembly is provided that is quickly assembled and collapsed while providing increased strength.
- Other objects, advantages and salient features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, which, taken in conjunction with the annexed drawings, discloses preferred embodiments of the invention.
