  • the upper crate 60 comprises four identical side panels 68.1, 68.2, 68.3 and 68.4, as well as a roof panel 70.
  • the roof panel 70 is similarly clamped onto the upper edges of the side panels 68.1 to 68.4 by means of the clamps 69.
  • Each side panel is provided with six horizontal slot formations 72 which are spaced away from the major edges of the side panels by a uniform marginal distance D m for accommodating the clamping projections on the clamps 69.

  • the acute angle of 79° between the legs 86 and 88 allows the bracket to be maintained in a condition of clamping tension when enveloped around a pe ⁇ endicular comer, which has the effect of urging the clamping projections 92 and 94 even more firmly into the slots.

  • a rectangular cut-out 104 is formed midway along the comer edge 12A, and extends into both the long and short plate-like legs 14A and 16A so as to define L-shaped interconnecting limbs 106 and 108.
  • An advantage of the cut-out 104 is that it allows for greater flexure of the bracket about the corner edge 12 on the interconnecting limbs 106 and 108.
  • the bracket 102 has rectangular cut-outs 30A and 32A which are substantially reduced in depth in comparison with the cut-outs 30 and 32 of Figure 1, with the result that the corresponding extension arms 26A and 28A carrying the clamping projections 18, 20, 22 and 24 are considerably shortened.
  • the lever plate 50 is thus more easily accessible for facilitating the removal of the bracket on collapsing of the stacked containers.
  • the legs have an increased continuous planar surface area adjacent the clamping projections, with the result that there is greater contact with the outer surfaces of adjacent comer , .,1s.
  • the container 110 has a base panel 112 constituted by the uppermost panel of a pallet 56A.
  • the sides of the container are defined by opposed minor rectangular panels 114.1 and 114.2 and opposed major rectangular panels 114.3 and 114.4, and a top panel 114.5 is clamped over the sides.
  • the six panels are held together by means of clamping devices which are indicated schematically in broken outline at 116.
  • These clamping devices may be in the form of any of the clamping devices illustrated in Figures 1, 5 or 6, in which each of the legs of the clamping devices terminate in double spaced apart clamping projections as opposed to the single clamps 69 which are normally used to hold the comer edges of the panels together.
  • Each panel 112, 114.1 and 114.5 is provided with six slot formations 118 located towards the outer periphery of the panels for accommodating the double clamping projections of the clamps 116.
  • the slots 118 are naturally longer than the slots 74 illustrated in Figure 2, which are used to accommodate the clamping projections of the single clamps 69.
  • only two slots 118 may be required per edge of each panel. This reduces the number of machining operations required to form the slots in the panels, as well as the number of clamps required to hold the various panels together.
  • a crate 110 requires twenty four clamps 116, whereas a container which is held together with single clamps of the type illustrated at 69 in Figure 2 requires at least thirty two, if not thirty six separate clamps. Further, the increased surface area provided by the double clamps 116 lends greater rigidity to the overall structure of the container.
  • the vertical slots 118A and 118B may be replaced with a single pair of intermediate slots 118C located midway along the outer edges of the respective panels 114.1 and 114.3.
  • additional shortened slots 120 substantially identical to the slots 76.3 and 76.4 of Figure 2 may be located in the side panels of 114.1 and 114.3 for accommodating the clamping projections 20 and 24 or 92 and 94 of the respective clamps 10 and 102 or 84.

Abstract

Un dispositif de fixation comprend un support (10) en L doté d'un coude (12) et de deux branches (14, 16) partant de ce coude vers des extrémités libres. Ces branches se terminent chacune par une paire de projections (18, 20, 22, 24) de fixation séparées portant des tenons (34). Ceux de la première paire de projections (18, 22) de fixation partent vers l'intérieur, l'un vers l'autre, et sont disposés pour s'introduire dans des premières fentes (76.1, 76.2) correspondantes ménagées dans des faces adjacentes d'un premier coin défini pour une première paire de panneaux (68.1, 68.2) perpendiculaires. Les tenons (34) de la deuxième paire de projections (20, 24) de fixation partent vers l'intérieur, l'un vers l'autre, et sont disposés pour s'introduire dans des deuxièmes fentes (76.3, 76.4) correspondantes ménagées dans des faces adjacentes d'un deuxième coin formé par une deuxième paire de panneaux (64.1, 64.2).
