ABSTRACT:
A modular knock-down packing container system, generally of wood, includes interchangeable wall panels with corresponding channel guides for guaranteeing the structurally reinforcement and sealing of the interchangeable walls. The panels are held in place by a combination of the position of the panels within corresponding channel guides and of the use of central sphere rod connectors, which connectors may be rapidly and easily loosened for dismantling of the packaging system, so that the panels can be re-used in other configurations. A systematic plurality of wall panels is provided with incremental dimensioned variations, so that the size of the containers can be varied while preserving the ability to create large hollow interiors uninterrupted by perpendicular floor members. Expansion of the size of the containers is also accomplished without limiting interior container storage space by axial connection of the stacking of the panels end over end. The joints between successive layers of axially connected panels may be reinforced by overlapping strip elements connected in a like manner to the panels are the panels are connected to themselves by the central sphere rod connectors.
