Abstract
A system is provided comprising a box with four bottom flaps, at least four durable pegs projecting from exterior surfaces of two opposing bottom flaps, the pegs positioned to function as a built-in pallet structure for the box, adhesive strips on interior surfaces of the two opposing bottom flaps to promote closure of the bottom flaps, four top flaps, interior surfaces of two opposing top flaps containing protected adhesive strips to promote closure of the top flaps, and wax paper covering the adhesive strips prior to use of the strips. The pegs are constructed from the same material as the box. Material comprising the pegs is denser than material comprising the box. The denser concentration of the peg material enables the pegs to sustain weight of the box and contained items. The pegs are positioned on the opposing bottom flaps.
Claims18
A system comprising
- a box with four bottom flaps,
- at least four durable pegs projecting from exterior surfaces of two opposing bottom flaps, the pegs positioned to function as a built-in pallet structure for the box,
- protected adhesive strips on interior surfaces of the two opposing bottom flaps configured to promote closure of the bottom flaps,
- four top flaps, interior surfaces of two opposing top flaps containing protected adhesive strips configured to promote closure of the top flaps,
- and
- a wax paper covering the adhesive strips prior to use of the strips,
- wherein the at least four durable pegs comprise six full-sized pegs and six half-sized pegs and wherein the half sized pegs are positioned on flaps to meet when the box is sealed to create three full-sized pegs.
A system comprising:
- means for storing or collecting a material including at least an object;
- means for closing a bottom portion of the material storing or collecting means and means for holding the material storing or collecting means in an open position;
- means for allowing movement or transport of the material storing or collecting means by forklift or pallet jack;
- wherein the movement or transport allowing means are position to function as a built-in pallet structure for the collecting or storing means;
- means for closing a top portion of the storing or collecting material means;
- means for promoting or securing closure of the means for holding the material storing or collecting means in an open position;
- means for covering the means for promoting or securing closure until the closure promoting or securing means are needed for use;
- and
- wherein the built-in pallet structure comprises of six full-sized pegs and six half-sized pegs and wherein the half-sized pegs are configured to be positioned on the closing means to meet when the closing means is sealed to generally create about three full-sized pegs.
A system comprising
- a box with four bottom flaps;
- at least four durable pegs projecting from exterior surfaces of two opposing bottom flaps, the pegs positioned to function as a built-in pallet structure for the box;
- adhesive strips on interior surfaces of the two opposing bottom flaps to promote closure of the bottom flaps;
- four top flaps, interior surfaces of two opposing top flaps containing protected adhesive strips configured to promote closure of the top flaps;
- and
- wax paper covering the adhesive strips prior to use of the strips,
- wherein the positioning of the pegs forms slots on a bottom panel of the box,
- wherein the slots are of dimensions wherein forks of a material handling device fit into and extend through the slots,
- wherein the slots accommodating full insertion of forks of the material handling device promotes the material handling device lifting the box,
- wherein the top flaps and the bottom flaps are of dimensions configured to enable the top and bottom of the box to completely close,
- wherein the adhesive strips on the bottom and top flaps configured to close the top and bottom of the box,
- wherein use of the adhesive strips one of reduces and alleviates a need to use adhesive tape,
- wherein the box is constructed of fiberboard in a double-wall format,
- wherein the pegs are made of compressed corrugated fiberboard of double-wall format,
- wherein the pegs are featured for positioning at width-wise borders of the assembled container, as well as its width-wise center,
- wherein the pegs are further featured for positioning at a width-wise center of the assembled container,
- wherein the pegs comprise six full-sized pegs and about six half-sized pegs and wherein the half sized pegs are positioned on flaps to meet when the box is sealed to create three full-sized pegs, and
- wherein the system is folded to a flattened state when not in use.
