Abstract: This invention relates to a collapsible box for shipments between plants of heavy loads up to 5,000+ pounds per box for heavy parts. The box is designed to be collapsible to be returned flat for less shipping costs. The box is fabricated in an octagonal shape made from 8 sides of hardboard on the outside, and a sheet of aluminum secured thereto with hinges holding the sides together in an octagon with strips holding the box on a pallet.The hinges hold the sides together from the base on the pallet to the top of the box. The hinges are of two types. One hinge is a double pivot for opposite corners of the collapsed box, and it folds back on itself with two pivot points, shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The other hinge folds from a flat position on the top or bottom of the collapsed position to a 45.degree. bend inwardly toward the assembled box with only one pivot point, shown in FIG. 4 and 5.

Abstract: A dry abrasive delabeling apparatus for both plastic and glass bottles, sometimes called a label stripper, in which the bottles are fed by an in-feed starwheel to a circular starwheel which rotates the bottles slowly. Within the starwheel are wire bristle brushes rotating at a high speed against the bottles to flick off paper, foil, or plastic from the label on the bottle while restraining the bottle in close contact to the ends of the wire bristle by means of a rubber bladder to press against the bottles. The bottles are held against the wire bristles while the bottles are rotated as they are held against the bladder. The debris is vacuumed away from the apparatus.
