ABSTRACT:
A plastic reinforcing structure for use with a container of the type including a corrugated sleeve adapted to be removably attached to a plastic pallet or base member by the use of sliding latch members coacting with slots in the lower peripheral portion of the sleeve. The reinforcing structure is formed as a single piece of plastic material and includes an inner planar portion, an outer planar portion, a central wall portion, and inner and outer tubular portions carrying lips on their leading edges. In use, the central wall of the reinforcing structure is positioned under and along the lower edge of the sleeve beneath a slot in the sleeve and the inner and outer planar portions are swung upwardly about live hinges provided between the bottom wall and the inner and outer planar portions. As the inner and outer portions are swung upwardly and inwardly, the tubular portions enter the slot from the inner and outer faces of the sleeve and the lips on the tubular portions lockingly coact to positively secure the reinforcing structure to the sleeve with the tubular portions providing a liner for the slot in the sleeve and the planar portions positioned against protecting the outer and inner faces of the sleeve surrounding the slot.
