  • Patent number: 12195244
    Abstract: The invention relates to a box casing (1), such as a transport box, for shipment and/or storing of goods, which is cost-effective to produce and easy to assemble while at the same time having a considerable strength. The box casing comprises a tray-like bottom member (2) and two wall members (7, 8), each having three interconnected casing walls (9, 10a-b, 13, 14a-b). The wall members are foldable to a position standing in the bottom member and to a substantially flat state to be placed lying on the bottom member, for transferring the box casing between an assembled and a collapsed state. Each wall member comprises corner elements (15) configured to hold the casing walls in place by a resilient function. The invention also relates to a kit for creating such a box casing, as well as use thereof.

  • Patent number: 12024334
    Abstract: The invention relates to an element (1) to be arranged in a corner of a parallelepipedic cage-like structure where a bottom or a top plane of the structure meets two walls of the structure extending perpendicularly to this plane and to each other. The element (1) comprises a bottom portion (2), outer wall portions (6, 7), inner wall portions (9, 10) and wall members (16, 17) so as to receive components of said structure in the form of first and second board-like members, such as wooden planks, therebetween with wide sides of these board-like members bearing on each other. The inner wall portions (9, 10) each comprises a spring member (90, 100) configured to bear onto and urge a said second board-like member to press a said first board-like member against an outer wall portion (6, 7), so as to clamp these board-like members between a couple of inner (9, 10) and outer (6, 7) wall portions. The invention also relates to a cage-like structure provided with such elements (1) at said corners thereof.

  • Patent number: 11987419
    Abstract: The invention relates to a collapsible pallet casing assembly (1), comprising a pallet (2) with a frame structure enclosing a loading surface thereof, a rear casing wall, a front casing wall (32) a top casing wall (15), as well as first (17) and second lateral casing walls. The assembly (1) is transferable between an erected state, in which it is used as a shipping crate for bulky objects, and a collapsed state in which it may be stored or transported as a unit claiming little space. The assembly (1) is transferable from the erected state to the collapsed state by folding all said casing walls (15, 17, 32) on top of each other onto the pallet (2). The invention also relates to use of such a pallet casing assembly (1) for shipping bulky objects, especially server racks or power cabinets.

  • Patent number: 9266645
    Abstract: A system for creating a container having a bottom and four lateral walls comprises a bottom member (1), four walls (2) and an arrangement (3) for interlocking said walls with respect to said bottom member so as to create a container. The arrangement comprises for each wall a first section (4) and the bottom has for each outer border thereof a second section (10). The second section allows introduction of the first section therein with a corresponding wall tilted outwards from a center of a container to be created and has a part (12) forming a stop to the first section preventing lifting of the wall with respect to the bottom member in a vertical position of the former.

  • Publication number: 20130315652
    Abstract: A clamp (1) for interconnecting two plate-like members (16, 17) so as to make them together form a substantially rectangular corner has two legs (2, 3) resiliently connected to each other and making an angle being less than 90° with each other in a rest state of the clamp. Each leg has at an outer end thereof remote to a transition (4) to the other leg a member (7, 8) configured to engage a part of the said plate-like member in an interconnecting state of the clamp. At least one of said legs is provided with an opening designed to receive an end of an elongated tool member in said interconnecting state of the clamp for enabling removal of said clamp in said interconnecting state from said plate-like members by influencing that leg in the direction apart from the other leg.

  • Patent number: 6443508
    Abstract: A device for interlocking two disc-like parts (2, 3) comprises a locking element (4), which presents first locking means (5) for fixing the locking element to a first one (3) of the parts, and second locking means (6) for fixing the second one (3) of the parts in relation to the locking element, and thereby in relation to the first part (2) as the latter and the locking element are interconnected. The first locking means (5) of the locking element and the first part (2) comprise a first set of first and second locking members (6′, 7) engaging each other. These first and second locking members are designed as a projection (6′) and a recess (7), respectively. These are mobile into engagement with each other in a direction (R1) which forms an angle that is preferably generally perpendicular in relation to the plane (3) of the first part (2).

  • Patent number: 5323921
    Abstract: A foldable container comprises a bottom member (1), a foldable wall arrangement (2) and a lid (3). A locking arrangement included in the container and having locking means (7) on the lid and/or locking means (8) on the bottom member is arranged to interlock the lid and the bottom member in the folded state of the container in a position, in which they are located substantially closer to each other than when the container is filled. The lid and the bottom member form a space therebetween in the interlocked state, in which space the folded wall arrangement may be received.
