Abstract
A core box with interchangeable rails for holding a variety of sizes of cores.
Claims21
A method of transferring a plurality of cores from a core box, comprising the steps of:
- providing a core box having at least one recess having a first side, a second side, and a bottom;
- providing a first removable rail in the at least one recess, wherein the first removable rail includes a plurality of channels each configured to hold a core from a plurality of cores;
- loading the at least one recess with the plurality of cores, each core held in position by a channel of the plurality of channels;
- inserting a spindle through the plurality of cores;
- transferring the plurality of cores away from the core box via the spindle,
- removing the first removable rail from the at least one recess, wherein the plurality of cores is a first plurality of cores;
- inserting a second removable rail in the at least one recess, the second removable rail having a plurality of second channels each configured to hold a core from the second plurality of cores, each core of the second plurality of cores having a different dimension from each core of the first plurality of cores, wherein the different dimension is at least one of width, diameter, and thickness;
- and
- loading the at least one recess with the second plurality of cores, each core held in position by a channel of the plurality of second channels.
