Abstract
A load capping arrangement (10) for stabilizing a load (100) comprising a plurality of articles (102) is disclosed. The load capping arrangement comprises a central region (12) for engaging at least some of the articles. A rim arrangement (15) extends around the central region and the rim arrangement is deformable from a non-deformed condition to a deformed condition around the load.
Claims16
A load capping arrangement tar stabilizing a load which comprises a plurality of articles, wherein the load capping arrangement comprises a central region for engaging at least some of the articles, and a rim arrangement extending around the central region, the rim arrangement being deformable from a non-deformed condition to a deformed condition around the load, in which the rim arrangement can extend around the load, wherein the rim arrangement comprises a deformable region, said deformable region including a plurality of downwardly extending projections provided to engage the load, the projections being configured to hold the articles at the periphery of the load, and wherein the rim arrangement comprises a plurality of elongate torsion bars extending along the edge of the central region, and the rim arrangement comprises a plurality of elongate members, each elongate member extending along the edge of the central region, and each torsion bar comprises a portion of one of the elongate members.
A load capping arrangement for stabilizing a load which comprises a plurality of articles, wherein the load capping arrangement comprises a central region for engaging at least some of the articles, and a rim arrangement extending around the central region, the rim arrangement being deformable from a non-deformed condition to a deformed condition around the load, wherein the load capping arrangement further comprises a lip arrangement extending around the rim arrangement, the lip arrangement curving downwardly from the rim arrangement, wherein the lip arrangement comprises a plurality of centring formations to allow the load capping arrangement to be centred on the load by a manipulating apparatus, each centring formation comprising a raised region of the lip arrangement, and wherein each raised region comprises an engagement surface for engaging the manipulating apparatus, each engagement surface extending transverse to the central region, and each engagement surface is substantially V or U shaped and extends substantially at right angles to the central region.
A load capping arrangement for stabilising a load which comprises a plurality of articles, wherein the load capping arrangement comprises a central region for engaging at least some of the articles, a rim arrangement extending around the central region, the rim arrangement being deformable from a non-deformed condition to a deformed condition around the load, and a plurality of centring formations arranged around the rim arrangement to allow the load capping arrangement to be centred, on the load by a manipulating apparatus, each centring formation comprising a raised region.
