- FIGURE 7 shows a corrugated material casket (10) that consists of the inner and outer corrugated sheet materials (11) and (20) that Is placed, aligned on top of each other and laminated by means of an adhesive substance. Because of the strong latent tensile springiness of the double wall corrugated board used on both sheet materials (11) and (20), the Inner corrugated sheet (20) will bounce back to the horizontal original position If the Inward compression force from the end panels (38) Is released. With the triangular beams (27) of the Inner corrugated sheet under tension, the Inner sheet (20) aligns with the outer sheet (11). If the tensile springiness of the double walled board forces the inner sheet (20) to spread back to its original (or zero memory) position, the inner sheet will be longer than the outer sheet
- the panels (34) between the triangular beams (27) are glue covered at the bottom side over the whole area of the sheet element (20) and aligned and put on the top of the outer sheet element
- each laminated panel (34) Is a tensile strength Indicator of the Increased strength achieved by laminating and curing two sheet elements to each other, the Inner with tension and the outer without tendon and both under vertical pressure until the adhesive has cured.
- the increased tensile strength Is Illustrated by the outwards and compression arrows along crease lines (12) and (13) of the casket (10) In the first configuration.
- the same extra force is needed when the side panel (16) is bent to the opposite side as explained above (i.e. to the bottom side of the bottom panel of the casket (10)) In the second configuration.
- FIGURE 9 shows a corrugated casket (10) with a leak resistant pflable sheet material (90) that Is attached to pa neb (18) by means of staples, hot melt glue or cold glue.
- FIGURE 10 shows a corrugated sheet element that Is creased to form a top lid panel (50) and side panels (52) and which forms the lid of the casket arrangement (10) In the first configuration and the shipper tray of the casket arrangement (10) In the second configuration.
