Abstract
A shipping container for lightweight articles such as blow molded plastic bottles includes a skeletal metal frame and plastic panels defining an open topped structure, a pair of doors in one side hingedly connected to the top of the frame, latches for normally holding the doors closed, brackets for interconnecting a plurality of containers end-to-end and a plurality of webs extending longitudinally and transversely of the container at different levels for distributing the load in the container to reduce or eliminate crushing of the lowermost articles by superjacent articles.
Description
~2~ 79 This invention relates to a shipping container and, in particular to a shipping container for lightweight articles such as plastic bottles.
In th~ mass production of lightweight articles, for example blow molded plastic bottles, the packaging and shipping of the articles often present problems. The bottles are produced in large numbers, in some cases thousands per day. Obviously, the packaging and transporting of the bottles in small cardboard ~artons is patently impractical. The bottles must be shipped in la larga containers capable of carrying large numbers of the bottles.
The containers should be easy to load and unload~ lightweight yet sturdy, readily movable to a truck or other vehicle and capable of carrying large numbers of bottles preferably without damage to the bottles~
lS The patent literature includes examples of containers of generally the type in question. Canadian Patents Nos. 899,799 issued to Richard H. Dement on May 9, 1972 and 1,016,087, issued to Alvar E. Nilsson on August 23, 1977 disclose lightweight con-tainer structures. However, such structures would not be suitable ~0 for the type of article mentioned above, namely bottles, since large numbers of such bottles in the containers would result in crushing of the bottom containers by the top containers.
The object of the present invention is to solve the problem mentioned above by providing a structurally simple shipping ~5 container for lightweight articles, which is relatively easy to - 1 - ~, ~6~7~ `
load and unload, and wh~ch reduces the likelihood of damage to the articles.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to a shipping container for lightweight articles comprislng skeletal frame means;
lightweight panel means connected to said frame means for defining an open topped structure with closed bottom and side walls; door means in one said side wall for unloading the container; and web means e~tending across said container defining dividers for support-in~ layers of the articles, said web means reducing the likelihood 1~ of crushing of articles near the bottom of the container by other superjacent articles.
The invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a container in accordance with the present invention;
Figure 2 is a front view of the container of Fig. 1, with parts removed;
Figure 3 is a bottom elevation view of all but one end o~ the container of Figs. 1 and 2;
Figure 4 is an end elevation view o~ the container of Figs. 1 to 3 as seen from the right of~ . 1 and 2;
Figure 5 is an end elevation view of the container of Figs. 1 to 3 as seen from the left of Figs. 1 and 2;
~5 Figure 6 is a side view of a bracket for connecting 12~7~
the container of Figs. 1 to 5 end-to-end with a similar container;
Figure 7 is an end view of the bracket of Fig. 6;
Figures 8 and 9 are perspective views from above and one ~ide of a coupler for connecting the container of Figs. 1 to 5 end-to-end with a similar container;
Figure 10 is a perspective view of one end of a door latch for use in the container of Figs. 1 to 5;
Figure 11 is a perspective view from below of the other end of the door latch of Fig. 10; and 1~ Figure 12 is a perspective view of a central portion of the latch of Figs. 10 and 11, With reference to Figs. 1 to 5 of the drawings, the container of the present invention includes a skeletal ~rame defined by bottom bars 1, defining a rectangle, end posts 2 and 1~ top bars 3. The bars 1, the posts 2 and the bars 3 are formed o~ angle iron. Gussets 5 are provided at the corners of the rame for strength, and additional strips 6 extend between the ends of the bottom for the same reasons. Inverted U-shaped crossbars 7 extend between the sides of the bottom for strengthening the latter. One end of each crossbar 7 is closed by a base plate 8 ~r defining a socket 9 for receiving a lift fork as described hereinafter in greater detail. Plates 10 supporting casters 11 are provided at each end of the bottom of the container for supporting the latter. The casters 11 are mounted at the junctions between the bars 1 and the strips 6. A generall~ V-shaped bracket ~L2q~
13 is provided at the bo~tom centre of each end 14 of -the container for pulling the container into or out of a vehicle. Loops 16 are mounted on the centre of each side of the ends 14 for receiving transversely extending bars (not shown) for pulling or pushing 5 the container.
The base 17 of the container is de~ined by a masonite panel. Each end 14 and the rear side (not shown) of the container is closed by a rectangular plastic panel 18. Each panel 18 is ~einforced by top and bottom crossbars 19 and 20, respectively and a central reinforcing strip 22 which prevents bulging of the panel.
A plurality of containers can be connected together end-to-end by means of brackets generally indicated at 23, and couplers 24 and 25 on the ends of each container. The brackets 23 are generally U-shaped, the bracket 23 on one end 14 of the container opening outwardly and the bracket 23 on the other end of the container opening inwardly. Referring to Figs. 6 and 7, each bracket 23 is defined by an inner, rectangular plate or arm 26 connected to the corner post 2, an outer arm 27 and a connecting 7~ plate 28 extending therebetween. The top and bottom ends 30 and 31 o~ the arm 27 and plate 28, respectively are bent outwardly to facilitate coupling of two brackets 23.
Adjacent brackets 23, on about to be aligned containers, are merely hooked together, and the containers are locked together ~S using the couplers 24 and 25 (Figs. 8 to 10) and a lock defined by a ~ 4 --~65~L7~
pin 32 and an arm 33. The coupler 24 at one end of th~ container is also U-shaped, being defined by top and bottom arms 34 and 35, respectively, which are interconnected by a plate 36 welded to the front corner of each end of the container. The coupler 25 on the other end of each container near the front thereof is merely a straight bar 38 for insertion between the arms 34 and 35 of the coupler 24. The pin 32 is inserted through aligned openings 39 in the arms 34 and 35, and through an opening 40 in the bar 33. The arm 33 is L-shaped, and one end thereof is connected to 1~ the end of the container above the bracket 24 by a bolt 41 and a nut ~2. With the top arm of the inverted L-shaped pin 32 at 90 to the longitudinal axes o~ the arms 34 and 35 (Fig. 9), the arm 33 is rotated on the bolt 41 through 180~ to abut or rest close to the top of the pin 32, locking the latter in position.
As best shown in Fi~. 2, the front side of the container is normally closed by a pair o~ doors 43 (one shown in Fig. 2) on each side of a central divider 44. Each door 43 includes a rect-angular metal frame and a plastic panel 45. The doors 43 are hingedly connected to the top of the front side of the container ~a by a plurality of hinges 46. The doors 43 are normally locked in ~he closed position by a pair of latches generally indicated at 47. Each latch 47 is defined by a pair of L-shaped hooks 49 for engaging an angle iron 50 defining the bottom of the door 43.
The bottom of the door is covered by a plastic plate 52, and ~5 semicircular grooves 53 are provided in the plate 52 for receiving ~ t7~
the hooks 49. Loops 54 are provided on the bottom outex ends of the hooks 49. The hooks 49 are welded to an L-shaped metal rod 55, which extends outwardly beneath the front edge of the container. The rod 55 is rotatably moun-ted in a pair of inverted L-shaped brackets 56 on the bottom of the container. The inner-most hook ~ is connected to the open end of a socket 57 by a helical spxing 58 (Fig. 11) which retains the rod 55 in the brackets 56 with the outer, vertical arms 59 of the hooks 49 aligned wit~ the grooves 53. The outer arm 61 (Fig~ 10) of the rod 55 normally extends upwardly and inwardly into a groove 62 in a retainer plate 63 on the end of the container. The spring 58 biases the arm 61 into the groove 62. In operation, the rod 55 is pulled outwardly against the force of the spring 58, and rotated lcounterclockwise in Fig. 10) to mo~e the hooks 49 from the latch position shown in solid lines in Figs. 11 and 12 to the release position shown in phantom outline in Fig. 12. Once released, the doors 43 are free to swing open around the axis of the hinges ~6.
Ledges 64 (Figs. 2 and 4) defined by square metal tubes P~tend around the periphery of the interior 0~ t~e c~tainer at two levels, approximately one-third and two-thirds of the distance between the bottom and the top. The ledges 64 support a plurality of webs 65, which extend between and are secured to the ledges 64.
The webs 65, which are defined by interwovenj longitudinally and transversely extending strips of lawnchair webbing andJor plastic, ~5 are intended to prevent crushing of the bottom bottles in the 47~
container by the hot~les thereabove. When the container is fully loaded with thin walled, blow molded plastic bot~les, there is a considerable load on the bottles in the bottom of the container.
The webs 65 are designed to assume part of the load so that the possibility of crushing is reduced if not eliminated. Each web 65 can be a single strip of lawnchair webbing which imparts a high degree of flexibility, or a sirip of lawnchair webbing with a wider strip of plastic thereon which is somewhat less flexible.
~ metal crossbar (not shown~ extends between the centre of the 1~ ~ront and rear sldes of ~he container beneath each layer of webs 65 ~or supporting the latter.
In use, the containers are top loaded with bottles using a pneumatic system. The bottles are counted as they pass through a slide into the containers~ When one container is filled, the 1~ slide is tipped automatically to an adjacent bin. Four fully loaded containers are connected together end-to-end using the brackets 23, and couplers 24 and 25. The resulting train is pulled onto a tractor trailer using a winch, and transported to the bottling location. The use of standardized containers lends ~0 the present invention to modern containerization, i.eO the loading and shipping of a plurality of containers and their contents in a large box, which may or may not be part of a tractor trailer.
Upon arriving at the bottling plant, the containers are removed from the trailer, again using a winch, and moved into a position ~5 adjacent to a pit for unloading. Unloading is effected by releasing 3L;~6S~7~
the latches 47, and opening the doors 43 which permit the bottles to spill into the pit. By inserting forks (not shown) into the sockets 9 and lifting, the container is tilted to empty the container c~mpletely.
