Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0665166A1] The invention relates to a container particularly for heavy duty use or in harsh storage conditions. The container comprises wall panels (2, 4, 6, 8) formed from a blank (10). In an example illustrated, each wall panel (2, 4, 6, 8) or a reinforcing member thereof (69) is provided with inturned flanges which contribute to the formation of a bottom wall of the container. A lower retainer means (64) may also form part of the bottom wall. The retainer means (64) serves to retain in position each of four interior corner support posts (42) of plastics material which are of generally triangular cross-section so as to provide a flat face (43) confronting the contents of the container. Each post (42) is provided with a top end cap (40) and preferably a lower end cap (56) having knurled outwardly facing surfaces (46, 60) so as to enhance grip on a storage pallet. A lid (72) is provided to close the container but apertures (82) are provided to expose the surfaces (46). <IMAGE>
