Tubular corrugated paperboard shipping container with a pair of attaching strips

A wood-reinforced tubular corrugated paperboard shipping container, comprising:

• a corrugated paperboard body comprising a wall-forming blank of paperboard scored to provide a first, a second, a third, and a fourth main panel defining interior container walls and exterior container walls, foldably joined together at corners, said panels each defining an upper portion and a lower portion;
• a pair of vertical supports fixedly secured to the interior wall of said first main panel and said third main panel of said corrugated paperboard body, each of said pair of vertical supports having a top portion and a notched lower portion, said notched portion being one-half the width of the remaining portion of said vertical support;
• a plurality of lower attaching strips secured about a lower portion of said corrugated paperboard body such that at least one of said attaching strips is secured to one of each of said first, said second, said third and said fourth main panels in substantial alignment with said notched lower portion of said vertical supports, said attaching strips being of a width substantially equal to that of said vertical supports at said notched portions;
• a wooden rigid base member for mating connection with said corrugated paperboard body such that said base member is aligned with said lower attaching strips;
• a top frame for mating engagement with said top portions of said vertical supports;
• and
• means for attaching said attaching strips to said respective base member and top frame, whereby attachment of said attaching strips of said corrugated paperboard body to said base member and said top frames provides a face-to-face connection ensuring against separation thereof.

A wood-reinforced tubular corrugated paperboard shipping container, comprising:

• a base frame for supporting an article to be packed, said base frame including at least two wood strips that extend substantially the length of said base frame;
• a tubular corrugated paperboard body defining inner container walls and corresponding outer container walls, said paperboard body comprising a wall forming blank of paperboard scored to provide a series of panels foldably joined together at a plurality of corners and configured for engagement to said base frame;
• a plurality of substantially vertical, wooden supports fixedly secured to said inner container walls adjacent said corners and sufficiently distanced therefrom to permit collapse of said paperboard body;
• a top frame for receipt by said tubular body and supporting contact with upper ends of said supports;
• at least two pairs of spaced-apart attaching strips fixedly secured to a lowermost portion and an uppermost portion of said container walls, said attaching strips extending substantially a length of said container walls;
• and
• means for securing said attaching strips to said wood strips, and said attaching strips on said upper portions to said top frame,
• whereby said tubular corrugated paperboard body is secured to said base frame and said top frame to assure against component separation.

A reinforced tubular corrugated paperboard shipping container, comprising:

• a base frame for supporting an article to be packed, said base frame including at least two elongate members;
• a corrugated paperboard body comprising a wall forming blank of paperboard scored to provide a series of panels foldably joined together at a plurality of corners and configured for engagement to said base frame;
• a plurality of substantially vertical supports fixedly secured to said container walls adjacent said corners for reinforcing said paperboard body;
• at least two pairs of attaching strips, each pair fixedly secured to opposing ones of said panels, each of said pairs of attaching strips spaced-apart with one of each said pair of attaching strips positioned for alignment with one of said elongate members and the other one of each pair of attaching strips positioned for alignment with said top frame;
• and
• means for connecting said attaching strips to said elongate members and said top frame,
• whereby engagement of said reinforced corrugated paperboard body to said base frame and said top frame by connecting said attaching strips to said elongate members and said top frame ensures against component separation.
