Abstract: A resilient metal clip is suitable for use in securing adjacent panels of a knock-down structure, for example a collapsible container, to one another. The resilient clip includes two legs that extend away from one another, the two legs being resiliently connected to one another at one end in order for the legs to be resiliently displaceable relative to one another. Each leg has a free end, with the free ends terminating in panel engagement formations. A disengagement member is displaceably connected to one of the legs, and is displaceable relative to the leg between a rest position in which it does not interfere with an engagement formation provided on the leg, and a release position in which at least part of the disengagement member exerts a release force on the engagement formation of the leg.

Abstract: The invention relates to a releasable clip for use in a knock-down structure, and more particularly but not exclusively, to a releasable plastic clip for use in securing panels of a knock-down structure, for example a collapsible container, to one another. The releasable clip includes two legs that extend away from one another, with the legs being connected at one end, and each leg having an opposite free end that terminates in a panel engagement formation. At least one of the panel engagement formations is an adjustable engagement formation that is adjustable between a locked position, in which the engagement formation is adapted to engage a securing aperture provided in a panel, and a release position, in which the engagement formation is adapted to be released from the securing aperture.

Abstract: A reusable knock down stillage box comprises a base pallet assembly including a rectangular base panel and four side walls extending from the base panel, and a top panel, Each of the side walls comprise lower and upper side wail panels, with three of the lower side wall panels being hinged to three of the upper side wall panels, and the lower side wall panels in turn being connected to the base panel by means of L-shaped clips. The upper or side wall panels are movable between an erected cargo stowing position In which stillage components are erected for stowing cargo such as motor vehicle panels within the box and a collapsed stillage stowing position. In the collapsed position, the top panel and the upper side wall panels, in combination with the base panel and the lower side wall panels, provide a sub-box defining a closed sub-volume within which the stillage components are stowable in the collapsed condition.

Abstract: An ergonomically designed collapsible container comprises a split pallet assembly having first and second detachably mountable pallet portions. The first pallet portion includes a first raised platform and defines a walk-in loading zone adjacent the first pallet portion for pre-loading the first raised platform. The second pallet portion includes a second raised platform which is co-planar with the first raised platform and which is arranged to occupy the loading zone for subsequent loading of the second raised platform after pre-loading of the first raised platform. The split pallet assembly is formed with an outer peripheral rebate for accommodating four side walls or panels which are clipped detachably both to the pallet and to one another by L-shaped clamps. The split pallet assembly allows for a relatively deep and high volume collapsible container to be manually loaded with heavy cargo such as glass goods without having to bend or stretch unnecessarily.

Abstract: The present invention relates to transport containers with side walls connected to one another at their edges by clamps and with as a base a pallet which is also fastened to the side walls by clamps. The pallet is a four-sided pallet, with blocks arranged at the corners and possibly at predetermined distances along the edges of the base plate of the pallet and in the middle thereof. The outwardly directed side surfaces of the blocks are flush with the outer surfaces of the adjoining side walls. The transport container has skid planks which are fastened to the underside of the blocks. The outwardly directed side surfaces of the skid planks at least over part of their height, maintain a constant distance from the outwardly directed side surfaces of the block, and the distance is determined by the thickness of the side walls plus a handling play which is not greater than about half a wall thickness.
