Abstract: A container comprises bottom, left and right side, front, back and top asblies. The side, front, back and top assemblies have a rectangular sheet with a batten frame affixed to the perimeter of a first face thereof and coincident with the edges thereof. The bottom assembly has a rectangular sheet with a base frame affixed to the perimeter of a bottom face thereof. The base frame extends beyond the perimeter of the sheet to form a circumferential extension dimensioned therearound to be equal to the thickness of the sheet used in the other assemblies plus the thickness of the batten frame. During construction of the container, each assembly is glued and stapled prior to being glued and screwed to other assemblies. The side, back and front assemblies are arranged to form a rectangular tube with an inner surface defined entirely by the side, back and front assemblies' sheet.

Abstract: A tubular corrugated paperboard shipping container having a rigid base frame, a cleat-reinforced tubular corrugated paperboard body attached thereto, and a top frame. The corrugated paperboard body includes a pair of spaced-apart attaching strips fixed on opposing side wall panels of the body. One of the pair of attaching strips on each panel is disposed in alignment with a member of the base frame. The other one of the pair of attaching strips is positioned on the panel in alignment with the top frame. Staples driven through the paperboard wall and the attaching strips secure the paperboard container to the base frame and to the top frame to ensure against component separation, thereby providing a cleated container with improved structural rigidity. A plastic sheet in the top frame prevents dust and dirt from entry into the container.

Abstract: A fully collapsible box with four sidewalls comprising vertical slats, horizontal cleats and interconnected wires at the ends of the cleats at the corners of the box, wherein the ends of the cleats have reverse miters so that the box may be hingedly collapsed along these corners when not in use. Hinged collapsing of this box does not require disconnection of the wires and does not adversely affect the tightness of the wire interconnections between adjacently located cleats. Because the reverse miters allow the box to be hingedly collapsed while the sidewalls remain interconnected, this invention assures a sturdy box over a period of use, while eliminating the need to connect and disconnect the cleats at the corners of the box during assembly and disassembly, respectively. In one embodiment the wire internconnection comprises a single loop extending completely around the box and secured to the cleats.

Abstract: A combination shipping and display crate includes a pair of end walls to which are fixed a plurality of slats in which at least one slat is slidably mounted in opposing slots formed in the crate end walls, and held in place by friction or torsion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a framework means for collecting, preferably, frozen animal carcasses and similar pieces of goods, including a wooden crate and strapping means. The novelty resides in the feature that in the crate, which comprises a bottom frame (1), end pieces (9), and a top frame (12), the end piece (9) extremities engaging the bottom frame (1) and the top frame (12) are arranged laterally non-displaceable, and that there are defined abutments or hooking means (14) for the strapping means (13) extending diagonally and serving as struts bracing the crate, there also being strapping means (15) enclosing the end pieces (9) and the load and preventing together with the load the end pieces (9) from bending outwardly.

Abstract: Lightweight, strong, thermoplastic foamed crates for storage and shipment of tender or fragile materials, especially produce such as fruit and vegetables, are prepared from (a) an extruded base and side panel structural foamed thermoplastics and (b) end plates and a divider or dividers which are injection molded foamed thermoplastic materials. This combination of materials reduces the number of molds and molding operations required to provide a large number of containers, since only end pieces and dividers need be molded and carried in inventory.The containers may also have perforated end plates to provide for ventilation or cooling as well as a ridged base or flooring to provide drainage and containment for juices of decaying produce.In addition to providing superior insulating qualities regarding loss of heat or refrigeration, the all-foam crate construction provides improved vibration dampening characteristics which in turn prevent bruising or breakage of tender or fragile items during transportation.

Abstract: A molded plastic carton end includes a thin face panel reinforced by molded ribs and bounded on four sides by rim sections each comprising a plurality of parallel walls abutting against a face member with closely spaced cross members to add additional stiffness and resistance to crushing. The multiple walls also provide a plurality of parallel layers to receive and hold nails for attaching side, top and bottom members to complete the carton. The walls intersect at the corners, thus forming a large number of individual box sections at each corner, making the corners of the carton end very resistant to deformation. A number of plastic materials and fillers may be used including polyethylene filled with wood and/or a limited amount of a blowing agent.
