Abstract
A shipping carton is made with a wrapper which is placed between the end frames of a reel. The wrapper has folded over flaps at the transverse edges which are biased against the end boards of the respective frames and abutted at the ends against the hook strips of the reel. The placement of the wrapper between the end frames and the abutment of the flaps against the hook strips serve to strengthen the carton. The winding machine includes inwardly directed clips on the outer ends of holders on the end frames for holding the hook strips in rigid condition during winding of a pile fabric on the reel.

A shipping carton for pile fabric comprising
- a reel having a pair of end frames, each said end frame including an endboard of polygonal shape and a plurality of radially disposed hook strips secured to said endboard;
- a wrapper disposed peripherally about said reel between said end frames, said wrapper having a plurality of flaps folded inwardly of said wrapper in abutting parallel relation with a respective endboard, each pair of adjacent flaps having a respective one of said hook strips disposed therebetween in abutting relation;
- and
- means securing said wrapper to each said frame of said reel.
In a shipping carton for pile fabric, the combination comprising
- an endboard having a plurality of radially disposed hook strips secured thereto, each said hook strip having a hook-containing flange disposed in perpendicular relation to said endboard;
- and
- a wrapper disposed in perpendicular relation to said endboard at the periphery of said endboard, said wrapper having a plurality of flaps along a transverse edge, said flaps being folded inwardly of said wrapper and being disposed in abutting parallel relation with said endboard, each pair of adjacent flaps having a hook-containing flange of a respective hook strip disposed therebetween in abutting relation.
In a shipping carton for pile fabric, the combination comprising
- an endboard;
- at least one hook strip adjacent said endboard and having a hook-containing flange disposed in perpendicular relation to said endboard;
- and
- a wrapper having at least one pair of inwardly folded flaps at a tranverse edge, said flaps being disposed in abutting parallel relation with said endboard and having said hook-containing flange disposed therebetween in abutting relation.
