Definitions

  • a container which consists of a crate box with detachable walls made up of stacked elements which are detachably connected together by means forming part of these elements.
  • Such a container has an advantage over known containers having walls made in one piece in that the height of the walls is variable at will by using for these walls a greater or smaller number of the elements concerned.
  • Such a container is, however, mainly suitable only for transporting loose goods, unless the goods inside the container are each individually packaged and the container is consequently filled with packaged articles.
  • the present invention has for its object to improve t-his known container so that, as a result of a particular shaping of its walls, the articles may be kept separated from one another without it being necessary to package the articles each individually.
  • the container according to the invention is particularly suited to transporting breakable similar articles such as, for example glass cones or screens for bulbs of cathode-ray tubes.
  • the container of the aforesaid type according to the invention has the -feature that, in conjunction with the method of packing and/ or the shape of the elements the crate box has bearing faces or supporting ledges at different levels extending substantially parallel to its surface.
  • the articles to be packaged in the container may each individually be placed on these bearing faces and as a result of forming the walls of loose elements these will separate the articles from one another.
  • the elements constituting several walls of a space inside the container are stacked at, while the elements forming the other walls of said space are stacked high so that adjacent surfaces of contiguous at-stacked elements are spaced apart from one another.
  • the preferably uniform elements of several walls of a space inside the container are partially stacked at and partially stacked high so that one or more high-stacked elements are situated between each two flatstacked elements.
  • the elements forming the walls of the container may have a shape closed in itself, for example a ring-shape, it is, in general, preferable to use elements consisting of straight parts, for example Wooden beams or laths.
  • adjacent elements are secured together by letting them partially or entirely into one another.
  • the container according to the invention may be constructed so that, as is customary, it has only one space in a transverse direction.
  • the container may have more than one space in a transverse direction, exactly as a result of using said elements for forming the container, the elements then defining more than one space.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views of the elements used for building up the containers shown in FIGS. 3 to 8.
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 show in two lateral views and in plan view respectively one form of the container according to the States Patent O ICC invention for packaging substantially conical glass articles, for example cones for cathode-ray tubes.
  • FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 show in two lateral views and in plan view respectively one form of the container according to the invention intended for packaging glass screens for cathode-ray tubes.
  • FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the construction and illust-rates the method of stacking the parts of the elements together constituting a corner joint for the container shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8.
  • the elements A and B consist of wooden laths or ⁇ boardlike elements which are locally recessed.
  • the slots of the element A are more widely spaced apart than those of the element B.
  • the slots are so shaped as to permit the element A to be partly let into the element B. This yields an extremely sturdy connection between the elements A and B if, for example, the slots 1 and 2 engage each other.
  • the slots 2 may if desired, be provided with chamfered edges in order to facilitate the assemblage.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 the elements A and B are both shown on edge.
  • definite space invariably remains between the opposing sides of the elements of a pair of walls facing each other.
  • each of the elements A and B has 3 sets of slots so that, using the elements shown in these figures, a container is constructed, which comprises four separated spaces at right angles to the direction of height.
  • the lowermost elements can be placed directly on the upper surface of the crate box S shown in FIGS. 3 to 8, the weight of the load inside the container preventing the walls from sliding laterally from the crate box.
  • the lowermost elements may be xedly secured to the crate box. for example by providing suitable recesses in the surface of the lcrate box or by secu-ring a few chocks or laths thereto.
  • FIGS. l and 2 a further wall form of the container is obtainable, for example by stacking the elements A flat and the elements B high (FIGS. 3, 4 and 5).
  • the Hat-stacked elements are designated by A, the high-stacked elements by B.
  • the elements A provide rests on each pair of which one of the articles is supported in the container.
  • C in this case a glass cone for a cathode-ray tube, which cone is naturally breakable.
  • a next cone may be placed on the faces of flat-stacked elements A10 and A11 facing each other, which cone comes to rest on surfaces A., and A5 at two opposed edges.
  • the next elements A (not shown) ilat into the slots 12 and 13
  • the lower edge of these elements which edge faces the article referred to, will practically rest against the outer side of the article.
  • This is shown for the cone C where the lower edges of the elements A10 and A11 extend short of the surface of the cone C. It is evident that in this manner the cone C is no longer movable in horizontal direction in the plane of FIG. 3. Motion in vertitical direction is also extremely limited.
  • the relative spacing of the elements B is so chosen as to substantially preclude lateral displacement also in horizontal direction as shown in FIG. 4.
  • This provides a container for breakable articles, which not only has the advantage of its height being adjustable according to convenience within wide limits, but also, as has been found experimentally, has the advantage that the articles may be introduced unpackaged into the container and can thus be shipped without risk of fracture.
  • a continuous plate will be provided on top of the highest elements, the container thus obtained, which may be braced lby means of a few iron strips passing under the crate box S, being ready -for transport.
  • the elements When the container is unloaded, the elements are detached and, when the empty container is returned, the elements tied up into a bundle may be Areturned together with the crate box.
  • the elements B shown in FIG. 2 are all stacked vertically, but the elements A are alternately stacked at and high.
  • the space 6 thus formed between each two superposed layers of the element D is closed on all its four sides, that is to say by the vertically stacked elements B and the vertically stacked elements E.
  • the upper surfaces of the elements D again serve as rests.
  • This container is particularly suited to packaging glass screens for cathode-ray tubes, a few of which are denoted by -F in the drawing.
  • the articles F have extremely little freedom of movement in their cornpartments so that they can also be shipped unpackaged in the container.
  • FIG. 9 parts of the stacked elements forming part of this corner joint are perspectively shown in FIG. 9, from which it is seen that a suitable choice of the size of the slots and the elements themselves yields a joint which is extremely sturdy and permits the compartments of the container to be formed. If the slots have a suitable size and the material has a suitable thickness, the elements D and E on the one hand and the elements B on the other hand may all be used in any desired position relative to one another. Should, however, the part 17 left between the slots 15 and 16 of the elements D not have a square cross-sectional area, the slots 18 and 19 of the elements B must have widths dierent from each other. Y
