Definitions
- the invention relates in generalto new and useful improvements in corrugated boxes and the like, and more particularly seeks to provide a compartmented corrugated box which is suitable for holding large quantitles of free flowing solids and the like, and a filling device for simultaneous filling of each of the compartments of the box.
- a corrugated box may be readily reinforced against endwise collapsing by placing upright reinforcing therein.
- the outward pressure of the solids on the walls of the box results in the bowing of the walls notwithstanding the existence of internal reinforcement which would normally prevent endwise collapsing.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a largecorrugated box to function as a bulk carrier, the corrugated box being formed in sections whereby not only is the strength of the box greatly increased, but also the individual compartments are provided so that, if desired, more than one type of bulk material may be stored within the box, and/or each individual compartment may be detached from the main body and handled 'as a separate unit.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide a novel bulk carrier in the form of a corrugated box which includes a base having an upstanding peripheral flange,
- a further object of the invention is to provide a corrugated box for free flowing solids, the corrugated box being provided with a plurality of compartments which are disposed adjacent a common center, and there being provided a filling device which may be seated on the upper ends of the individual compartments and which filling device will simultaneously direct streams of free flowing solids into the individual compartments so that the entire box may be filled at one time through the use of the.
- a still further object of the invention is to provide a corrugated box particularly adapted to function as a bulk carrier for free flowing solids and the like, the corrugated box being generally of the size of a conventional pallet and having feet on the underside thereof which are spaced apart suitable distances to receive the tines of a fork 3,248,037 Patented Apr. 26, 1966 inafter appear, the nature of the invention will be more clearly understood by reference to the following detailed description, the appended claims, and the several views il lustrated in the accompanying drawings:
- FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the bulk carrier of this invention, and shows the general details thereof.
- FIGURE 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the bulk carrier of FIGURE 1, with the cover removedtherefrom and the filling device in position for filling the compartments of the bulk carrier.
- FIGURE 3 is an enlarged bottom perspective View of thefilling device of FIGURE 2, and shows the specific details of the construction thereof for mounting upon the sleeves of the bulk-carrier.
- FIGURE 4 is an enlarged plan view of the bulk carrier as it appears in FIGURE 1, and shows the specific relationship of the filling device with respect to the individual sleeves.
- FIGURE 5 is an enlarged vertical sectional view, taken substantially upon the plane indicated by the section line 5-5 of FIGURE 1, and showsthe specific internal construction of the bulk carrier, there also being shown the details of a strap which may be used for holding together the individual sleeves intermediate their ends.
- FIGURE 6 is an enlarged exploded perspective view of the various components of the bulk carrier and shows the various details thereof.
- FIGURE 1 The general details of the embodiment of the invention disclosed herein are generally illustrated in FIGURE 1, the bulk carrier being generally referred to by the numeral 10.
- the bulk carrier 10 is formed of a base, generally referred to by the numeral 11, a plurality of upstanding sleeves or tubes 12 seated within the base and projecting thereabove, and a cover, generally referred to by the numeral 13. It is to be noted that the bulk carrier 10 is generally rectangular or square in outline, which shape is the preferred shape for shipment and storage purposes.
- ponents of the bulk carrier 10 may be secured together by various types of conventional fastening means, including stapling, gluing, etc.
- the base 11 is folded from a fiat blank, and includes a bottom wall 14 which has extending along the edges thereof flaps 15 and 16.
- the flaps 16 differ from the flaps 15 in that they are provided with extension flaps 17. Also, the flaps 16 are provided with diagonal fold lines 18 at their corners to facilitate the folding of the assembled base 11 to a relatively flat state for storage and shipment, if so desired.
- the flaps 15 and 16 are connected together by extending the flap extensions 17 into overlapping relation with respect to the flaps 15 and suitably securing them to the flaps 15, as by staples 19 illustrated in FIGURES 1 and 2.
- Each of the sleeves 12 is folded from an elongated blank so as to have four sides.
- the free edges of the blank from which the sleeves 12 are formed are suitably connected together by, for example, an elongated cloth the sleeves 12 may be reinforced by cloth tape (not shown).
- the sleeves 12 are rigidly secured to the base 11, and the cover 13 is rigidly secured to the sleeves 12.
- the sleeves 12 may be rigidly secured to each other by such fastening means as adhesive, staples or tape.
- the relative proportions of the sleeves 12 are such that they will nest together having corners disposed along a common center line and will snugly fit within the flanges of the base 11 and the cover 13.
- the lower parts of the sleeves 12 are secured to the flaps 15 and 16 of the base 11 by staples 27, and to the flaps 22 and 23 of the cover 13 by staples 28.
- the bulk carrier 10 Under certain conditions, it will be desired to form the bulk carrier 10 so that it is reusable and can be knocked down for shipment.
- the individual sleeves 12 will not be rigidly secured to each other, but may be secured together by a strap, such as the strap 29 illustrated in FIGURE 5.
- the strap 29 will extend about the sleeves 12 and may be removed therefrom so that the sleeves may be disassembled.
- the base 11- and the cover 13 will not be rigidly secured to the sleeves 12.
- suitable strapping may be used for retaining the cover and base in clamping relation with respect to the ends of the sleeves.
- the size of the bulk carrier 10 may vary as is desired. However, it is contemplated to form the bulk carrier 19 of the same size as a conventional pallet so that it may be readily handled by a fork lift truck.
- the base 11 may be provided with a plurality of feet 30.
- the feet 30, in the preferred embodiment, will be nine in number and will be secured to the underside of the bottom wall 14 about the periphery of the base 11 in the arrangement illustrated in FIGURE 2.
- the presently proposed bulk carrier 10 is actually four boxes formed in one for ease of handling and ease of construction, as well as simplicity of construction and minimum costs. Because of the construction and since the pressures exerted on the side walls of the individual sleeves 12 will bear against only relatively short side walls, as opposed to long side walls in containers of equal size, the problem of the side walls bulging is minimized. Further, the construction of the sleeves 12 and the manner in which they are assembled, prevent endwise collapsing of the bulk carrier 10 so that a number of the bulk carriers 10 may be stacked one upon the other.
- the feet 30 will be of a size to properly transmit the loads from one bulk carrier to another. Also, it will be apparent that the feet 30 i are arranged so that the pressures exerted thereby on a next lower bulk carrier will be taken properly by the sleeves.
- the bulk carrier 10 is divided into at least four. compartments, it will be apparent that, when desired, the
- individual bulk carrier 10 may carry more than one kind 1 of material.
- three of the sleeves 12 may.
