Claims21
A container comprising:
- an assembly of a base, a top and at least two wall structures, each of said wall structures having an inside surface, an outside surface, a thickness joining the inside and outside surfaces, and four inside edges and four outside edges, a first of said outside edges of said wall structure having an interface feature comprising an extension, said extension having a thickness and a wrapping portion that wraps at a substantially 90° angle about a portion of said corresponding first inside edge, forming a channel therebetween the inside and outside surface.
A container for loading and transporting a cargo item comprising:
- a base structure having a top surface and a bottom surface joined by a thickness, said top surface having a main platform portion, an interface feature surrounding the main platform portion, and an outer edge portion surrounding the interface feature;
- and
- two identical wall structures, each of said wall structures having an inside surface, an outside surface, a thickness joining the inside and outside surfaces, four inside edges and four outside edges;
- wherein each wall structure having an interface feature for mating with said interface feature of said base and an interface feature for mating with an interface feature of an adjacent wall to form an enclosure;
- wherein a first of said outside edges of each of said wall structures having an interface feature comprising an extension, said extension having a thickness and a wrapping portion that wraps at a substantially 90° angle about a portion of said corresponding inside edges, forming a channel therebetween the inside and outside surface for receiving a corresponding mating interface feature of one of other said edges of an adjacent wall structure.

A container for loading and transporting a cargo item in a volume comprising:
- a base structure having a top surface and a bottom surface joined by a thickness, said top surface having a main platform portion, an interface feature surrounding the main platform portion, and an outer edge portion surrounding the interface feature;
- four identical wall structures, each of said wall structures having an inside surface, an outside surface, a thickness joining the inside and outside surfaces, four inside edges and four outside edges;
- wherein each wall structure having an interface feature for mating with said interface feature of said base and an interface feature for mating with an interface feature of an adjacent wall to form an enclosure;
- and
- a plurality of supports extending from the bottom surface of said base structure;
- wherein a first of said outside edges of each of said wall structures having an interface feature comprising an extension, said extension having a thickness and a wrapping portion that wraps at a substantially 90° angle about a portion of said corresponding inside edge, forming a channel therebetween the inside and outside surface for receiving a corresponding mating interface feature of one of other said edges of an adjacent wall structure.
