Improved industrial container for packaging and transporting multiple glass panels or the like

Abstract

The invention relates to an industrial container (1) to be used as an envelope to protect the perimeter of the block formed by multiple panels (Cp) packaged into the container (1), for example flat glass panels or panels of other materials to be transported in the vertical position; the container comprises a framework (Qd) formed by a set of modular troughs (Cm), including an upper trough (Cm1), a lower trough (Cm2) and a pair of identical side troughs (Cm3), which are essentially composed of longitudinal profiles (2) with a U-shaped cross-section and a narrow width (x) for receiving a multiple panels (Cp); these profiles (2) are made of laminated paper or another suitable material, the profiles (2) of the upper trough (Cm1) and lower trough (Cm2) comprising reinforcement zones (3) for binding by means of strips (FT), the reinforcement zones (3) being formed by the juxtaposition of pairs of steel plates (3a) on the flat surface (2a) of the longitudinal profiles (2), while the longitudinal profiles (2) of each side trough (Cm2) also receive a protection cover (4) that has a U-shaped cross-section and is made of steel; the flat inside surface (2b) of the profiles (2) of the modular troughs (Cm) receives internal supports (5) for accommodating and protecting the peripheral edges of the multiple panels (Cp) packaged inside the framework (Qd).

[0001] Supplementary documents related to application PI0503994-0 dated January 17, 2005. [0002] Application field [0003] This addendum, in compliance with the legal provisions, is devoted to the improvements included in the same inventive concept presented against the object of the originally claimed invention, causing it to be applied to industrial containers to be used as protection by a group of packages in its An envelope for the edges of a block formed by an inner plate, such as a flat plate of glass or other material, to be transported in a longitudinal orientation, thus making it possible to handle these plates by lifting them for displacement and transport, where industrial containers Consists of a structural frame comprising a set of molded slots with internal supports to properly accommodate the plates, stiffeners for the assembly of the anchor bars, and also gussets to support the cables which ensure proper lifting A set of plates for shipping, storage, etc. B...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] But such containers are extremely heavy due to their considerable volume and the materials used, which, in addition to the fact that the wooden boards make assembly difficult, lead to slow and laborious production

[0007] Another inconvenience is that the construction of the aforementioned container makes it impossible to disassemble the container, thus requiring the use of a bulky area for storing the container

[0008] Another inconvenience is that containers made of treated wood require sanitation when designed for transport, thus increasing transaction costs
