Definitions

  • Known cases of this general type are made of wood and, to keep the cost of manufacturing low as well as to permit greater ease in manufacturing, the wooden packing cases have sharp edges. Moreover, when the known cases are stacked, the drainage water of the upper cases tends to drain into the lower cases so that the product contained in the lower cases is often contaminated by the drainage water from the upper cases. When stacking these known cases they are placed merely one on top of the other without locking the one case on the other.
  • a packing case for fish or other perishable products that are mixed with pieces of ice comprising a bottom wall having drain holes at opposite ends thereof, two opposite longitudinal walls and two opposite transverse walls, the longitudinal walls extending upwardly from the bottom walls at converging inclines and formed each with an outwardly extending rib at the lower edge thereof.
  • the drain holes extend through the ribs, and the ribs of the higher case overlap the upper edge of the inclined transverse walls of the lower case when two or more of the packing cases are stacked one on the other whereby water formed by the melting of the ice in each packing case is individually drained out of the respective packing case without passing into the lower packing cases.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a packing case constructed in accordance with our invention
  • FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section taken along the line AA of FIG. 1 in the direction of the arrows and showing two cases stacked one on the other;
  • FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section taken along the line BB of FIG. 1 in the direction of the arrows showing two stacked cases.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a packing case having a bottom wall 4, a pair of longitudinal walls 8 and a pair of transverse walls 9.
  • a pair of supporting brackets or ledges 6 extend inwardly toward the center of the case so as to provide support for other packing cases to be stacked thereon or for any other objects.
  • Reinforcing ribs 1 are provided between the transverse Walls 9 and the brackets 6.
  • Drainage holes 2 are formed at the ends of the bottom wall 4 to permit water from the melting ice that is mixed with the fish or other perishable products contained in the packing case to drain therethrough.
  • Auxiliary drain holes 3 are provided in the longitudinal walls 8 through outwardly extending longitudinal ribs 5 located at the bottom of the walls 8, which serve as a reinforcement and also as a means for retaining the case in position when it is stacked upon a similar case.
  • the bottom wall 4 of the case is doubly canted, somewhat similar to a peaked roof. It declines from a center ridge line parallel to the transverse walls 9 toward the drain openings 2 at the ends thereof so as to provide gravity flow means for carrying the water from the melting ice through the discharging drain holes 2.
  • FIG. 2 there are shown two stacked cases in section along the line AA of FIG. 1.
  • the drain holes 2 are located between the lower end of the transverse walls 9 and the slightly downwardly extending end ll of the bottom wall 4.
  • the ridge line in the center of the doubly canted bottom wall is supported by a central rib 11 which reinforces the bottom wall 4 so as to prevent bending thereof particularly when the packing case is loaded with a heavy supply of ice and product.
  • FIG. 2 also clearly shows the inclination of the transverse walls 9 which tend to converge in an upwardly direction so as to place the upper edge of the transverse walls 9 closer in the longitudinal direction to the center of ridge line of the bottom wall 4 by an amount which is at least equal to the distance between the bent ends 10 of the bottom wall 4 and the lower edge of the transverse wall 9 between which the drain holes 2 are located. Consequently, when one casing is mounted on another, the drain holes 2 of the upper case extend beyond the supporting brackets 6 of the lower case. Consequently, water draining from the drain holes 2 of the upper packing case will not enter the lower packing case but will travel down the outer sloping side of the transverse walls 9.
  • the bent end 10 of the bottom wall 4 and the longitudinal ribs 5 of the longitudinal walls :8 aiford means for securely stacking one packing case on top of another in a telescoping manner and thereby prevents the upper packing case from slipping off the stack when a laterally directed force is accidentally applied to the packing case.
  • FIG. 3 shows two stacked cases in section taken along the line BB of FIG. 1 showing more clearly the longitudinal ribs 5 and the manner in which they grip the bracket 6 and the upper edges of the longitudinal sides 8 of the lower case when the cases are stacked one on the other.
  • Case for packing fish or other perishable products in ice comprising a peaked bottom wall canted in opposite longitudinal directions, a pair of longitudinally extending side walls located at opposite sides of said bottom wall, said side walls having respectively an elongated notch at the upper edge and intermediate end portions thereof and having respectively outwardly extending longitudinal ribs at the lower edge thereof, and a pair of transverse end walls located at opposite ends of said bottom wall and inclined upwardly toward one another, said transverse end walls having a supporting surface portion respectively at the upper ends thereof, said supporting surface portions extending substantially horizontally in a direction toward the peak of said bottom wall and being reinforced by ribs extending laterally from the respective transverse end walls and by the end portions of said side walls respectively for supporting another packing case thereon, the lower ends of said transverse end walls and the respective ends of said bottom wall defining therebetween a plurality of drainage holes for draining water formed by the melting of ice supplied into the packing case, the drainage holes at one end of said bottom wall being spaced from the drainage holes at the other end of said bottom
  • Packing case according to claim 4 wherein said longitudinally extending side walls are formed with drainage openings extending through said outwardly extending ribs, and the upper ends of said longitudinally extending side walls of a lower packing case are lockable between said outwardly extending ribs of an upper packing case supported on said lower packing case.
  • Packing case for fish or other perishable products in ice comprising a peaked bottom wall canted in opposite longitudinal directions, a pair of longitudinally extending side walls located at opposite sides of said bottom wall and having respectively an elongated notch at the upper edge and intermediate end portions thereof and an outwardly extending rib at a lower edge thereof, and a pair of transverse end walls located at opposite ends of said bottom wall and inclined upwardly toward one another, said transverse end walls having substantially horizontal supporting ledges at the upper edges thereof respectively and having lower ends respectively extending below the upper surface of said bottom wall, said horizontal supporting ledges extending in a direction toward the peak of said bottom wall and being reinforced by ribs extending laterally from the respective transverse end walls and by the end portions of said side walls respectively for supporting another packing case thereon, said bottom wall having downwardly extending ends adjacent the respective lower ends of said transverse walls and spaced from one another a distance corresponding to the distance between the upper edges of said transverse end walls, said downwardly extending ends of said bottom wall and the respective lower
