Definitions

  • THIS INVENTION relates to a collapsible bin or crate, and, in particular, to the style of collapsible bin or crate wherein, in the process of collapsing, side panels fold along a vertical axis.
  • the present invention achieves its object in the provision of: side walls for containing goods therebetween, said side walls being collapsible on vertical hinge lines into a flat pack; and a pallet to support the side walls thereover providing a floor thereto to contain produce therein; characterised in that: a plurality of the said pallets are stackable one above the other; and a respective plurality of collapsed side walls are so dimensioned that in a side by side assembly of a predetermined number of vertically stood flat side walls, said side-by-side assembly nests in a stable configuration on the uppermost pallet of the pallet stack.
  • the height of the walls of the collapsible crate may be varied by selection of an appropriate assembly of panels depending upon what is to be stored therein with lower vertical heights when the collapsible crate is to be used to contain objects that cannot be loaded onto each other to too great a depth.
  • the bin or crate of this invention can comprise walls of a chosen height over a pallet which is stackable and dimensioned to receive a set number of collapsed walls stacked side by side over a vertical stack of their respective pallets. This arrangement reduces the volume of the bins to a particularly useful degree, creating a collapsed pack which is readily handled.
  • the same techniques can be applied to walls of a range of heights so that a small number of wall panels can be produced over a desired range to permit shallow depths when fruits, etc., cannot be packed to any great depth.
  • the bin or crate is readily produced with pallets able to be stood over crates below to gain useful storage volumes with the full height of a transport, etc., able to be used by stacking of crates.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bin or crate in accordance with the present invention showing how the walls may be collapsed;
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the side walls of the crate or bin of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a view of one side wall of the crate or bin of FIGS. 2 and 3;
  • FIGS. 9 to 11 are plan and sectional views of a pallet which may be employed as the base of a bin or crate in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 12 shows how a plurality of bins or crates might be collapsed and shipped;
  • FIG. 13 shows a detailed view of how walls might be mounted to a pallet
  • FIGS. 14 to 19 illustrate features of a lid which might be used with the bin and pallet of the above figures.
  • FIGS. 20 to 23 show features of a cap which might be used with the lid of FIGS. 14 to 19.
  • a bin or crate may be formed with vertical interconnected walls 10 supported over a pallet or tray bottom (not shown). Side walls 11 and 12 collapse towards each other when side walls 13 and 14 are each collapsed about hinges 15 and 16 respectively. By this means the bin or crate may be collapsed for return and reuse.
  • the crate or bin 10 is provided with corner hinges 22 to 25 which open to 90° to form a square or rectangular shape.
  • Hinges 26 and 27 open to 180° to form side walls that are collapsible onto themselves between the other two connecting walls to form a flat collapsed pack.
  • Side walls are formed by identical sections 32 and 33 and 34 and 35 differing only in length.
  • the lugs such as 110 provided around the crate walls are to engage in slots in a perimeter flange of the pallet bellow as described below with reference to FIG. 13.
  • plastic technology may be utilised and the bin or crate can be established from a small range of parts.
  • FIG. 3 a side wall is shown between corner hinges 24 and 25 with mid-side panel hinge 27 therebetween.
  • the central fold line comprises the hinge axis of hinge 27.
  • FIG. 4 is a section through the lower end of a corner of a bin or crate showing an internal detail of the formation of a hinge.
  • the hinge part 69, and each successive hinge part thereabove (not shown) are strengthened by a star section hinge pin locator 70.
  • the hinge pin 71 is threaded therethrough and the bottom can be plugged by a plug 72 to retain a hinge pin or rod 71 therein.
  • the extra ring of material adds to strength vertically to assist in supporting against downward loads. It also provides a buffer against impacts which might otherwise damage the hinge pin and its hinge parts. A bent pin would adversely affect the operation of the crate.
  • FIG. 5 is seen the section A-A of FIG. 4 to show in section the shape of hinge pin locator 70 which exists in hinge part 69 on panel 72 to locate hinge pin 71 therein.
  • FIGS. 9 to 11 show details of a pallet that might be employed with the above described walls.
  • FIG. 10 is a sectional view on A-A in FIG. 9.
  • FIG. 11 is a sectional view on B-B in FIG. 9.
  • the pallet has an upper deck 71 supported above a ground surface on legs or feet such as 72, 73 and 74.
  • the deck 71 is ribbed and boxed as described below to the depth 75 (in FIG. 10) to leave space thereunder into which lifting forks may be fitted in the usual way.
  • the dotted lines represent flanges beneath to strengthen the deck.
  • the feet 72 to 74 are open topped and hollow such that a plurality of pallets may be stacked, nested into each other to save space on a return journey.
  • the upper deck 71 may have an upstanding lip 76 (see FIG. 10) about its periphery. In use, the collapsible walls nest against the inside of this lip to provide support to the side walls against outward pressures.
  • the feet of the pallet may be indented as seen in FIGS. 10 and 11 to enable stacking of bins or crates on atop the other as at point marked 77.
  • the centre of the pallet may be provided with an opening 82 (see FIG. 11) through which pallet contents may be discharged.
  • Granular materials might be stored in a liner which may be punctured or opened from below to enable discharge.
  • the boxing which strengthens the pallet may comprise downwardly projected flanges which cross the bottom of the pallet being provided in an orthogonal pattern as indicated by the dotted lines in FIG. 9.
  • the use of four legs to stand the pallet off a ground beneath provides four way access to the pallet by fork lifts, etc.
  • the legs of the pallet can have a recess in the bottom to assist and locate the pallet when it sits on another crate.
  • FIG. 12 shows how a plurality of crates may be collapsed and stacked for return and reuse. Pallets are shown stacked one above the other with their respective collapsible walls collapsed and stacked side by side over the top of the top pallet.
  • Lid 83 which might be used with the aforementioned bins or crates.
  • Lid 83 comprises a cover 84 with indentations 85 and a central hole 86.
  • the indentations 85 are proportioned and shaped to complement the pallet feet so as to enable a pallet to be stood on the lid of a crate below with its feed located by the indentations.
  • the hole 86 is constructed, as desired below, so as to receive a cap therein.
  • the material of the lid 83 provides a continuous cover 84 with indentations 87 to 89 to receive pallet feet therein.
  • the lid 83 has a downward projected edge 90 to overlap a crate or bin 91 therebeneath.
  • FIG. 16 is a section through the centre of a pallet 92 to show how the lid 83 complements and supports it.
  • the pallet 92 of FIG. 16 is on the same section as that of FIG. 17.
  • the feet 95 and 96 are received in the indentations 97 and 98 of FIG.
  • FIG. 17 is a section on AA of the lid of FIG.
  • the central hole 86 is provided with screw threads 99 and 100 whereby a cap, described below, may be removably held.
  • FIG. 18 is a section at the edge of lid 83 in FIG. 14 at 103.
  • FIG. 19 is the section CC of lid 83 of FIG. 18.
  • lid 83 has a downward edge flange 90 which has tabs 101 projected inwards to engage under the upper lip 102 of bin or crate 91.
  • a number of tabs or lugs 101 around the edge of the lid 83 provide a means whereby the lid 83 is removably held to the bin or crate beneath.
  • FIG. 20 is seen a plan view of a cap 104 shown from the top.
  • the cap 104 is provided with indentations 105 and 106 which create a ridge 107 which provides a means whereby the cap can be held and turned so as to either lock it in place or remove it.
  • FIG. 21 is a section DD of the cap 104 of FIG. 20.
  • edge 108 of cap 104 is provided with channels such as 109 in separated segments about the periphery.
  • the channels 109 receive the screw threads of FIG. 17 therein.
  • the separated segments are angularly extended a short distance only being limited so as to slot into the gaps between the thread in the hole of lid 83.
  • FIG. 22 is the section EE of cap 104 of FIG.
