Patent number: 5351846Abstract: An improved collapsible sidewall structure for a stackable bin having a sidewall which is of a two-ply construction defined by inner and outer layers, each being extruded plastic layers having inner and outer sheets joined by transversely extending ribs so as to define elongated flutes or channels, with one of the inner and outer layers having the flutes projecting horizontally, and the other layer preferably having the flutes projecting vertically. The horizontally fluted layer also defines a corner hinge arrangement of the sidewall structure. The horizontally fluted layer, adjacent the free edge of the vertically fluted layer, is provided with an undercut slot projecting vertically thereof and opening inwardly for communication with the interface between the inner and outer layers. This slot has a vertically elongated reinforcing bar adhesively secured therein.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 1993Date of Patent: October 4, 1994Assignee: Carter Associates, Inc.Inventor: Alan T. Carter

Patent number: 5322213Abstract: A storage container or bin primarily constructed of extruded fluted plastic panels. The container includes two opposed pairs of generally parallel side walls, each side wall including at least one upright extruded plastic panel disposed with the flutes extending vertically to provide vertical column strength. A stacking and reinforcing loop of metal rod is positioned in direct load-bearing engagement with the upper edges of the side walls, with the rod being fixedly secured to each side wall by securing flanges which are integral with the fluted material defining the side walls and which snugly wrap around the top rod and are fixedly secured to the respective side wall. The top stacking rod is provided with a stacking bracket adjacent each corner of the container, which bracket is positioned outwardly and upwardly of the reinforcing rod to secure and cooperate with a lower corner of a second container when the latter is vertically stacked on the top stacking rod of the first container.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1993Date of Patent: June 21, 1994Assignee: Carter Associates, Inc.Inventors: Alan T.

Patent number: 5295726Abstract: A sidewall panel for securement between posts associated with a truck bed. The panel is defined by a generally rectangular ringlike frame having generally parallel top and bottom edge rails which are rigidly joined together by vertically extending edge rails. Corner members couple the horizontal and vertical edge rails together. The interior of the frame is occupied by a sheet of stiffening material, such as a rigid plastic foam sheet. Opposite sides of the panel are defined by thin covering sheets of hard material, such as rigid plastic.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1993Date of Patent: March 22, 1994Assignee: Carter Associates, Inc.Inventors: Alan T. Carter, Kirk A. Myers

Patent number: 4899880Abstract: A packaging separator adapted to be disposed in load bearing engagement between a pair of articles, such as windshields. The separator includes a sheet-like supporting element constructed of a generally nonresilient plastic foam and having enlarged opposed side surfaces for respectively contacting opposed surfaces associated with a pair of adjacent windshields. The supporting member has one or more shallow recesses formed inwardly from one of said side surfaces, and each recess contains therein a sheet-like gripping pad constructed of a resilient foam. The gripping pad, in a resiliently nondeformed condition, has a thickness which is significantly greater than the depth of the recess to define an outer gripping surface which extend generally parallel with but is normally spaced outwardly from the respectively adjacent side surface of the supporting element.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1989Date of Patent: February 13, 1990Assignee: Carter Associates, Inc.Inventor: Alan T.
