Definitions
- This invention relates to collapsible bins and storage systems therefor particularly, but not exclusively, designed for the transport of loose solid objects such as grain, apples etc. These objects tend to "flow" when store in quantity to form a conical structure unless prevented from doing so by a mechanical restraint such as a sack, bin or
- Collapsible bins are well known as a means of storing products for transport whereafter they can be stored away in a disassembled state and/or returned in bulk to the original point of origin, thus saving considerable space and expense in the process.
- the collapsible storage bin is made of a foldable material, such as cardboard
- assembly and disassembly is very easy but where considerable strength and rigidity is required of the bin, such as for the storage and transport of apples etc., assembly and disassembly of such storage bins has generally tended to be difficult and time
- a collapsible storage bin comprising a rectilinear pallet including upper and lower surfaces defining a space
- side walls being detachable for storage and being guidingly receivable in or on releasable locking formations in or on side edges of the pivotable side walls, in which
- the detachable side walls collectively support the pivotable side walls from inward collapse and the pivotable side walls collectively support the detachable side walls from at least outward collapse, characterised in that the lower surfaces of the pallet comprise or include a continuous outer frame connecting each of the corners of the pallet to
- the upper surface of the pallet is shortened on the opposing
- each such detachable side wall thickness of each such detachable side wall, thereby to permit the lower edge of each such
- detachable side wall to extend past the upper surface of the pallet.
- edge portions of the detachable side walls are received in slotted formations which prevent
- the pivotable side walls are also foreshortened by an amount corresponding to the upper surface of the bottom pallet so that the detachable side walls
- pivotable side walls are pivoted on hinge pins, the major axes of which are raised above the upper surface of the bottom pallet by an amount
- each pivotable side wall assumes a slightly inclined position when collapsed inwardly against or adjacent to the upper surface of the pallet, thereby to provide drainage and airflow between the inside walls of the pivotable side walls and the
- the storage bin may include locking means for each detachable side wall which may be in the form of a latch on the lower end thereof, the latch incorporating
- the locking means are provided by a swivellable latch on the lower end of each such detachable side wall, the latch incorporating a slot or other locking
- a pair of swivellable latches may be attached to respective sides of the pallet, each cooperating with a locking formation, such as a peg, extending
- the locking formation may be vertically offset from
- Figure la is a perspective view of a collapsible bin according to the
- Figure lb is an enlarged detailed view of a corner portion of the collapsible bin shown in Figure la,
- Figure 2 is a perspective view from below of the collapsible bin of Figure
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the collapsible bin of Figure 1 showing
- invention comprises a wooden pallet shown generally at 1 having a planar upper surface
- the collapsible bin includes a pair of opposing side walls 5 which are each pivotably mounted to respective sides of the pallet 1 so that they can be
- Each of the pivotable side walls 5 are mounted at respective ends on pivot plates 6 secured to opposing corners of the pallet 1 on respective pairs of blocks 4 in the manner as more clearly shown with reference to Figure lb.
- the pivot plates 6 are secured
- the pallet 1 and each includes a hinge pin 7 which is received within a correspondingly
- Each detachable side wall 10 includes at opposing upper ends thereof a pair
- brackets 8,11 cooperate to prevent outward collapse of all four side walls 5,10.
- pivotable side walls 5 are generally longer than the detachable side walls 10 and could therefore bend more easily in their mid sections, support plates
- the inside of the bin is filled with loose "flowable” objects.
- pivotable side walls 5 and detachable side walls 10 each cooperate with the other to
- pivotable side walls 5 relative to the detachable side walls 10, the latter are provided with elongate wooden support plates 13 secured to adjacent opposing inner side edges but spaced therefrom by the thickness of each of the pivotable side walls 5.
- locking means in the form of a swivellable latch 14 is pivotably mounted on a raised latch plate 15 centrally secured to respective sides of the pallet 1 on respective middle blocks 4 in the manner as shown in Figures 2 and 3 and include slotted locking formations which cooperate with an outwardly projecting peg 16 fixed centrally to the lower part of each detachable side wall 10 but vertically offset from the pivot of the latch in an over-centre manner so that gravity prevents or inhibits accidental unlatching. Because the upper edge of the latch plate 15 is raised above the block 4 it will be appreciated that it also forms part of the slot defined by the forward edges of the foreshortened upper surface 2 of the pallet and the
- each detachable side wall 10 must be inserted to assemble the bin also ensures that any warping or distortion of a detachable side wall 10 is minimised and/or stablised.
- the collapsible storage bin of the invention is assembled in the reverse
- flowable objects such as apples etc. may be introduced for transport.
- the lower surface 3 of the pallet 1 comprises or includes a
- structure is generally very rigid and suitable for storing filled bins one on top of the other
- each such storage bin may be disassembled by hand in the
- each side wall 5, 10 is equal to the length of each side wall 5 it will be apparent that complementary pairs of detachable side walls
- the invention therefore provides a sturdy and simple to erect and dismantle
- collapsible storage bin in which many of the disadvantages of known storage bins are obviated, requiring only a minimum of expertise on the part of a user thereof for assembly and disassembly and without the use of hand tools.
