ABSTRACT:
A security container or pallet bin which may be knocked down or quickly erected, includes corner connectors for securing the intersecting side and end walls together. The corner connectors are sheet metal with first and second angled, generally planar legs which abut the adjacent intersecting outer surfaces of the intersecting walls which are jointed to each other along a common corner. The legs of the connector have transversely extending tabs which engage the adjacent upper surface of one of the walls to define the seated position of the connector, and each leg teminates in a flange which extends normal to the associated leg, but which is tapered or inclined with respect to the common corner so that the connector is wider at the bottom than at the top. The flange is received in an accommodating slot formed or cut in the walls so that when the connector is inserted the walls are caused to be cammed or urged together into a tightening relationship. Additional connectors are disclosed by which wall panels may be stacked one on the other to build up bins or containers of varying height and/or support intersecting walls or partitions. Corner and edge protectors are disclosed by which the completed bin is protected from damage. Further, the bin is provided with footer and footer locators on the respective bottom and top panels to permit stacking and to permit eight-way entry for forklift trucks.
