Definitions

• This invention relates to collapsible storage and transport crates, which can be stacked one above the other in both collapsed and unfolded state and are intended particularly but not exclusively to receive compressed building insulation material, such as mineral wool.
• the crate consists of a square bottom and two lateral pieces located directly in front of each other in such a manner, that the bottom is formed so as to permit handling of the crate from all four sides by means of, for example, a fork truck.
• a collapsible storage and transport crate has been obtained, several of which can be stacked upon each other, at which crate the aforesaid inconveniencies are eliminated, and which opens a new field of application.
• the new crates require less storage space and reduce the transport costs compared with the conventional crates.
• the crate for example, can be loaded and unloaded rapidly on and from trucks and goods waggons.
• Fig. 1 is a section of the crate from the side
• Fig. 2 is an end view of the crate
• Fig. 3 shows a corner on an enlarged scale
• Fig. 4 is a section along the line IV-IV in Fig. 3.
• the bottom of the crate consists of a frame system in two planes 1 and 2 which is resistant to bending.
• the planes are interconnected by struts 3 and hollow corner connecting pieces 4, rendering it thereby possible to handle the crate from all four sides, for example by means of a fork truck.
• the lateral pieces of the crate are designated by 5 and consist a.o. each of two lateral frame members 6 and an upper frame member 7.
• the respective corner connecting piece extends, as appears from Figs. 1-3, from the plane 2 at least up to the upper or floor surface. of the bottom.
• the shell surface of the connecting piece 4 is extended upward above the floor side by a portion 8, which faces outward from the crate and is located in a plane in. parallel with the lateral piece 5 and with the portions 9, 10 extending perpendicularly thereto.
• the connecting piece further is provided on the inside and on a portion of the extension 10 with a vertical groove 11.
• a guide boss 12 also is located on the inside of the extension of the connecting piece and extends with a portion above the upper end of the connecting piece, as clearly appears from Figs. 1-3.
• the frame members 6 of the lateral piece 5 in question form at the lower end a pin 13, which movably fits into the connecting piece 4.
• the pin is provided downwardly with a guide head 14, which extends into and runs along the groove 11, which defines the upward and downward movements of the head 14 and therewith of the lateral piece 5.
• the head 14 preferably is a screw head with hexagonal recess which with a nut has been screwn firmly on the pin and been welded thereon.
• the pins of the lateral frame members 6 are sunk into the connecting pieces 4, and the heads 14 rest against the bottom of the groove 11.
• the lateral piece 5 of the crate hereby is held upright in relation to the bottom, and the entire connecting piece together with its extension 8 can take up the forces acting outward on the lateral piece.
• the bottom is provided on the lower surface with downwardly open angular sections 15, which extend along the plane of the respective lateral piece, as appears from Figs. 1-3.
• walls or flanges 16 are arranged, see Fig. 1, which form a pyramidal pocket.
• the respective lateral piece further is provided with two tongues 17, which are located straight above the respective pocket. The tongues are inclined slightly to the centre of the crate.
• a crate When the lateral pieces 5 are erected, a crate can be placed above the unfolded crate and be fixed laterally in relation to the same, in that the tongues 17 at the lower crate will be guided into the pyramidal pockets of the crate thereabove.
• the crate can be varied in different ways within the scope of the invention.
• the connecting pieces for example, may be circular in section, and the lateral frame members may correspondingly be tubular.
