ABSTRACT:
Large heavy objects, such as garden tractors, other wheeled vehicles and non-wheeled objects are packaged in a carton which includes a rectangular skid or frame formed of elongated structural members, preferably wood, arranged with two spaced parallel side members (footings) and a plurality of cross members extending therebetween. Some of said cross members (slats) are attached to the underneath surface of the side members while others of the cross members (chocks) are attached to the top surface of the side members at points spaced inwardly a prescribed distance from the outermost of the slats lying therebeneath. A cover member formed from some conventional material such as corrugated cardboard includes an opposed pair of side walls connected by an opposed pair of end walls, and a pair of upper major side flaps and upper minor side flaps attached to and extending upwardly from the upper edge of said side and end walls respectively. The lower edge of the cover member is preferably without flaps and is secured to the side members of the skid by means of corrugated runners attached to the undersurface of the skid and which fold up around the lower edges of the cover after it is assembled and are then stitched to the skid.
The inner walls of the cover are provided with vertical structural members (posts) secured thereto and which extend from a point near the top edge thereof to a point closely adjacent the bottom edge thereof. A plurality of transverse bridging cross members (beams) are secured to the minor flaps of the cover at points so designed that when assembled, folded and secured, the beams rest upon and extend between the upper ends of the posts so that there is a continuous structural vertical support member from top to bottom. Therefore substantial rigidity and support is provided for stacking a plurality of such cartons in warehouses or storage points.
