Abstract
A recyclable protective cradle and a recyclable edge protective packaging and distribution system for preventing rolling and allowing distribution and shipping of rolls of laminar stock rollingly oriented on a pallet. The protective cradle is formed of an interengaging pallet covering and a series of wedge members which act as chocks to prevent the roll from rotating. A wedge removal system allows for the selective removal of one or more wedge members to allow the roll to freely be removed from the protective cradle.
Claims67
A protective cradle for a roll of laminar stock rollingly oriented on its outer surface on a pallet, comprising:
- pallet covering means on the pallet for covering at least a portion of the pallet, supporting and cushioning the roll of laminar stock;
- wedge means, coupled to the pallet covering means and contacting the roll of laminar stock proximate a portion of the pallet covering means supporting the roll of laminar stock, for preventing the roll of laminar stock form rolling;
- and
- said wedge means including handle means for selectively removing at least a portion of the wedge means from contact with the roll of laminar stock.
