Abstract (en)
A multi-trip container, i.e. an assembled container which can be used to transport goods and be returned in a collapsed state for re-assembly, includes two U-shaped wall portions 13, 14 which face each other and come together to form an upstanding wall 12, having a pair of opposed double-thickness walls, 16, 16 and 17, 17 and two opposed single-thickness walls 15, 15. A lid 10 and base 11 are provided which are each erected from blanks to have a top or bottom and flanged surrounding edges or lip 32, 33. The material from which the parts of the container are formed is of dual-wall or triple-wall cardboard, either wax-impregnated or not. For a container 18.30 x 15.15 x 14.17 cm. the material may be dual-wall 7-ply wax-impregnated (at 200 DEG F) or triple-wall 9 or 11-ply non-waxed. The U-shaped wall members are creased so that the limbs 16, 17 can fold to overlie the web 15 when out-of-use. The container is advcantageous in being light but sturdy, easily handled during assembly and requires no stapling to attach one piece to the other.
