A storage container for shipping fan blades includes blade compartments each housing one or more fan blades, where each compartment includes an upper foam retention holder that maintains a fan blade tip end in place and a lower foam retention holder that maintains a blade root in place, both holders configured and positioned to prevent twisting or lateral movement of the blades when in the compartment. The compartments form container rows, such that a housing of the storage container has one or more retainer walls that are movable between an access position allowing user access to insert and remove fan blades from compartments and retaining position blocking user access to insert and remove fan blades from compartments.

A packing unit for an air-conditioning apparatus includes an outdoor unit with heavy objects that are provided on a bottom plate of a housing of the outdoor unit. On the packing unit, the outdoor unit is placed. The packing unit includes: a support base that has a cuboid framework structure made by combining a plurality of wood pieces, and supports the outdoor unit; a long wood piece that has a long plate shape, and that forms part of an upper surface portion of the support base and faces the bottom plate, the long wood piece having end portions, one of the end portions being fixed to the support base, the other being a free end that is movable in a vertical direction; and a support wood piece that is provided on an upper surface portion of the end portion on a free end side of the long wood piece.

A packaging system for packaging components includes a plurality of frames arranged on top of one another. A laminar structure is fixed to each of the frames. At least one component is arranged and held between two laminar structures—one laminar structure is fixed to one frame—supported by two frames, which forms a holding component of the packaging system.

A container for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse has a body, slotted guides attached to opposite sides of the body, and a plurality of dunnage supports extending between the guides. Outer portions of the dunnage supports may have one or more narrowed or flattened portions which enable the dunnage supports to slide along the slots. Dunnage holding parts is suspended by the dunnage supports.

Disclosed is a multiple seat shipping container (100) that includes a bottom base structure (101) configured to attach one or more first seats (120), a forward wall (103) with a lower portion (103a) pivotally attached to a forward side of the bottom base structure, a top wall (104) pivotally attached to an upper portion (103b) of the forward wall, the top wall configured to attach one or more second seats (121), and a rear wall (105) attached to a rear side of the bottom base structure. The multiple seat shipping container is configured to fold into a box shape configuration such that the one or more second seats are suspended from the top wall adjacent to the one or more first seats.

The blade support apparatus involves storing and transporting helicopter blades until the blades are needed for reassembly to the helicopter. The blade support apparatus comprises a lid, a container, a root attachment, and a plurality of attachment bars. One end of the helicopter blade is the root. The blade root is secured to the root plug. A multiplicity of supports secure the container to a transport. The height and angle of each blade in the container can be adjusted, enabling them to conform to the blade curvature which spirals from the blade root to the tip of the blade. Height adjustment to a helicopter blade is achieved by a plurality of contoured pads mounted in the container at varying points along the helicopter blade. Angle adjustment is achieved by a plurality of pivot supports mounted in the container at varying points along the helicopter blade.

The invention relates to a transport device (10) for piece goods, comprising a base part (14) which has a base plate (16) and side walls (18) which are elevated from the base plate (16) and are circumferential, the side walls (18) delimiting a placement surface of the base plate (16), a number of first compartments (22), wherein each of the first compartments (22) has circumferential walls (24) which each have a lower edge on the placement surface, an intermediate base (26) which bears on the first compartments (22) and has a downwardly projecting edge (28), which surrounds the first compartments (22) at upper edges (24b) of their circumferential walls (24), and an upwardly pointing further placement surface (30), a number of second compartments (32), wherein each of the second compartments (32) has circumferential walls (34) which each have a lower edge (34a) on the further placement surface (30), and wherein the first and second compartments (22, 32) are foldable for the purpose of volume reduction. The intermediate base (26) has two base parts (44, 46) which are connected to one another in an articulated manner, have each a part (50, 52) of the further placement surface (30) and are pivotable relative to one another about a pivot axis (48) up to a contact of the parts (50, 52) of the further placement surface (30), wherein each of the base parts (44, 46) has a rectangular or square contour, one side (56, 58) of which is shorter than both sides of the placement surface and the other side (60, 62) of which is shorter than at least one of the sides of the placement surface.

A packaging apparatus forming a box with an integral product holder from a single biodegradable material. The box comprises a top flap, bottom flap, and side panels extending longitudinally therebetween, all the panels foldably connected such that the box substantially encloses a heavy object. The integral holder is preferably foldably connected to a side panel of the box to be placed within the box, and is sized such that the integral holder cradles the heavy object to prevent movement during shipment. Tabs are foldably connected to the integral holder and are adjacent to side panels to secure the position of the integral holder during transportation and storage.

A nested dunnage arrangement is provided for compactly storing or transporting parts, each having a concave surface defining a cavity and a convex surface opposite the concave surface, and includes a panel defining an opening, and means for positioning a first part on one face of the panel with the concave surface of the first part facing the opening. The opening is sized to receive therein from an opposite face of the panel a convex surface of a second part such that the convex surface of the second part extends through the opening and at least partially into the cavity of first part. A periphery of the opening is configured to engage the convex surface of the second part received therein to nest the second part within the first part while also preventing the convex surface of the second part from contacting the concave surface of the first part.
