ABSTRACT:
A cargo container which includes a plurality of elongated frame members each having an outer surface and an interior region opposite the outer surface, two elongated channels opening to the interior region on either side edge of the frame member and an elongated recess adjacent to and parallel with each of the channels. A plurality of coupling members are removably engagable with ends of the frame members and a plurality of panels are affixed to openings defined by the frame members. Panel edging is affixed around a periphery of each of the panels. The edging has a projecting portion removably insertable into the channels and an elongated recess around the perimeter thereof such that, when said edging is engaged with corresponding channels in said frame members, the edging recess in combination with corresponding recesses of said frame members form an elongated slot around the perimeter of said edging. An inclined wall portion couples the projecting portion to a panel receiving portion of the edging such that an associated panel attached to the panel receiving portion of the edging is substantially flush with the outer surface of said frame members. A resilient strip is insertable into each of the slots for removably affixing each of the panels to the frame members such that edges of the panels may reversibly move slightly against only the compression resistance of a corresponding resilient strip.
