Abstract
A partition set for reinforcing a container's handles, the partition set including at least one interlocking subcomponent without hand holes and at least one interlocking subcomponent with two end panels with hand holes; the hand holes alignable with the container's hand holes; thereby providing reinforcement to the container's handles. Also, a container with hand hole reinforcement provided by the partition set.
Claims16
A partition set for reinforcing a container's handles, the partition set comprising:
- at least one interlocking subcomponent without hand holes and a plurality of interlocking subcomponents with two end panels, one on each end, with hand holes, wherein the interlocking subcomponents are provided as a partition and for bearing a vertical load, the interlocking subcomponents constructed and configured to interlock with one another orthogonally;
- the hand holes alignable with the container's handles, the interlocking subcomponents having an equal height and constructed and configured to abut the top of the container when the top is closed to provide distribution of the vertical load over the partition subcomponents;
- wherein two of the interlocking subcomponents with the hand holes and the end panels on each end are assembled parallel to each other so that an end panel from each of the interlocking subcomponents are grouped to form a pair of proximal end panels, the proximal end panels constructed and configured to contact one another and further including a covering of a low-tack, pressure-sensitive glue coating on the end panels for adhering to one another and a side of the container for reinforcement;
- thereby providing reinforcement to the container's handles and reduced load when the container top is closed.

A container with hand hole reinforcement, comprising:
- a container with a content, a bottom, a top, sides and hand holes;
- at least one interlocking partition subcomponent without hand holes and a plurality of interlocking subcomponents with two end panels with hand holes, the subcomponents constructed and configured to interlock with one another orthogonally;
- the interlocking subcomponents interlocked and inserted in the container;
- the interlocking subcomponents having an equal height and constructed and configured to abut the top of the container when the top is closed;
- the end panels folded to align the hand holes with the container's hand holes;
- wherein two of the interlocking subcomponents with hand holes and end panels are constructed and configured to contact one another and further including a covering of a low-tack, pressure-sensitive glue coating on the end panels for adhering to one another and a side of the container for reinforcement;
- thereby providing a container with reinforced hand holes.

A container with hand hole reinforcement, comprising:
- at least one interlocking partition subcomponent without hand holes and at least two interlocking partition subcomponents with two end panels with hand holes folded to fit in the container;
- the interlocking subcomponents interlocked and inserted in the container;
- a plastic wrapping encompassing the container with partition;
- the plastic wrapping including hand holes;
- the hand holes in the partition aligning and abutting with the hand holes in the plastic wrap;
- all subcomponents abutting against the top plastic wrapping to provide a resisting force against the vertical force of lifting;
- wherein two of the interlocking subcomponents with hand holes and end panels on each end are assembled parallel to each other so that an end panel from each of the interlocking subcomponents are grouped to form a pair of proximal end panels, the proximal end panels constructed and configured to contact one another and further including a covering of a low-tack, pressure-sensitive glue coating on the end panels for adhering to one another and a side of the container for reinforcement;
- thereby providing a container with reinforced hand holes.
