The invention is directed to a latch for a sleeve pack assembly.

A passive locking system is used to attach molded plastic bottom and cover members to the bottom and top edges of a four-sided sleeve to create a container that can be handled by a forklift and knocked down for storage and/or return shipment. The locks comprise molded tabs and receiver slots and allow for easy attachment and removal of the sleeve to the bottom and top members without the need for tools or manipulation of slide latches. In the preferred embodiment, foldable clips are attached to the sleeve edges to provide tabs on the sleeve. The clip tabs enter into apertures in the outside rim of the pallet and cover only when the sleeve edges are fully inserted into the pallet and cover.

A molded plastic clip for attachment to the edge of a container sleeve to form part of a passive lock operable between he sleeve and a base structure such as a molded plastic pallet having a peripheral groove for receiving the edge of the panel. The clip comprises a molded plastic body having two generally planar panels joined at one end by a double hinge that allows the panels to be folded into a parallel condition spaced apart by the geometry of the double hinge wherein the inner surfaces of the panels are provided with integral male and female snap lock features and an outer panel is provided with an integral protruding tab feature near the double hinge to fit into a locking slot or opening in the structure groove. The clips are used in multiples.

In the present invention related to an electric vehicle battery transportation container having a shield sleeve, a ratchet tightens a belt to fix an electric vehicle battery to a seat base in a state in which a battery fixing hook connected to a leading end portion of the ratchet accommodated in a ratchet accommodation recess part formed in the seat base is inserted into an assembly hole formed in a lower bracket of the electric vehicle battery loaded on the seat base, one or more foldable anti-slip parts installed on the seat base stand upright to prevent left-right slip and front-rear slip of the electric vehicle battery at the same time, and a corner support shaft formed with an inclined structure having a decreasing inner diameter is unevenly coupled to a support shaft insertion groove to load seat bases on a transportation vehicle in multiple stages. When the seat base is manufactured as a grid frame, and front, rear, left, and right surfaces of the seat base are shielded using a shield sleeve according to the present invention, a weight of the seat base may be minimized to reduce a transportation cost when the seat base is loaded on and transported by a transportation vehicle or vessel, and contamination of the electric vehicle battery due to dust or foreign matters may be prevented while the electric vehicle battery loaded on the seat base is transported for a long time.

Disclosed are systems, apparatus and methods for transporting a palletized stack of bottles or other similar bulk-produced containers using a unique pallet base and a unique set of side panels that may be engaged with the base and with each other in order to protect the stacks of bottles on the pallet base during shipping and transport. Embodiments of the invention dampen vibrations, protect the bottles from exterior contaminants, and allow the bottles to be viewed from the outside. Embodiments of the invention also provide reusable pallet systems that are easy to assemble and disassemble, and ship back for reuse.

A collapsible bulk container 10 comprising a bag 12 for holding a bulk load, a support base 14, four collapsible legs 16 and a rectangular upper frame member 18. The legs 16 are secured to the support base 14 by means of hinge assemblies 20 which permit hinged displacement of the legs between upright positions and folded positions wherein the legs are folded onto the support base 14.

A pallet for transporting products thereon includes a top having a product support surface and an opposing underside, and with outer sides extending between the product support surface and the opposing underside. The top includes a hand access hole extending through the top and located at a center of gravity of the pallet. Four feet each extend away from the underside of the top. Each foot has a first opening facing out through the product supporting surface for allowing stacking of such pallets.

The invention relates to a mounting ring for a transport container (11), which can be arranged between a base (12) and a lid (16) of the transport container, having at least two ring sections (18, 19) which form a closed mounting ring (14) having several side walls (15), wherein each ring section (18, 19) comprises at least one side wall section (23, 24, 31, 32), which in each case has an upper and lower front surface (33, 34), and a front edge (37) extends at the respective end of the ring section (18, 19) between the upper and lower front surface (33, 34), said front edge forming a connection point (22) with an opposite front edge (37) of an adjacent ring section (18, 19), wherein the opposite front edges (37) of the side wall sections (23, 24, 31, 32) of the ring sections (18, 19) are connected to a retaining profile (21) to form a common side wall (15).

This disclosure provides a configurable pallet or load-bearing platform, such as a pallet, for supporting goods. The load-bearing platform may include one or more plastic bases having two or more protrusions connected by one or more bridge pieces. The two or more protrusions are spaced apart one or more distances. The load-bearing platform further includes a cardboard base having openings spaced apart an amount wherein the openings are configured to receive the two or more protrusions of the plastic base. A load distribution member may be included and configured to contact at least a portion of the plastic base. The load distribution member may support at least a portion of the goods and distributes at least a portion of the weight of the goods to at least a portion of the plastic base. The size of the cardboard base, as well as other components of the load-bearing platform, in certain implementations, may be customized on demand.

Packaging configuration comprising: a pallet comprising a top surface, a bottom surface and a height HP; a first stack of bagged goods having a total height HL1, stacked on the pallet and comprising at least two layers; and a support structure comprising at least four walls situated over the first stack of bagged goods, one of the walls being a top wall and at least three of the walls being sidewalls. The support structure has a height HC that meets one of the following equations: HC>HL1, when the bottom end of at least one sidewall of the support structure is positioned on the top surface of the at least one pallet; or HC>HP+HL1, when the bottom end of at least one sidewall of the support structure and the bottom surface of the pallet are both positioned on the same surface. An air gap having a height HAG is situated between a top layer of the first stack of bagged goods and the top wall of the support structure.
