  • Reusable packaging system for household appliances
    Patent number: 5249678
    Abstract: Reusable packaging system having two specular side members (2) of rigid plastic material adapted to be applicable to the sides of a household appliance (1). Each one of said side members includes at its ends two corner pieces (6) having an upper protrusion (7) and a lower protrusion (8) interconnected by a flange (9). Two pairs of lower cross members (16, 17) and two pairs of similar upper cross members (18, 19) are adapted to form a lower frame and an upper frame interposed between the appliance, the flanges (9) and the protrusions (7, 8) of said corner pieces (6). A pair of cross members (16, 18) of each frame has a length which is equal to the length of the side members (2), whereas the other pair of cross members (17, 19) of each frame has a length which is shorter than that, but at least equal to the distance between the corner pieces (6) of each side member.
