ABSTRACT:
A plastic reinforcing clip 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 circular apertures in the lower peripheral edge portion of the sleeve. The reinforcing clip structure is formed of a single piece of molded plastic material and includes an outer annular planar portion, an inner annular planar portion, an outer cup-shaped liner portion, an inner cup-shaped liner portion, and a central hinge portion. In use, the central hinge portion is positioned under and along the lower edge of the sleeve beneath an aperture in the sleeve and the inner and outer planar portions are swung upwardly about live hinges provided between the hinge portion and the inner and outer planar portions. As the inner and outer planar portions are swung upwardly and inwardly, the cup-shaped liner portions enter the slot from the inner and outer faces of the sleeve. A circular annular wall section of the outer liner portion is seated within and engages an outer annular portion of the circular aperture edge with a planar base section of the liner portion positioned centrally within the aperture and a circular annular wall section of the inner liner portion is seated within and engages an inner annular portion of the circular aperture with a planar base section of the inner liner portion abutting the base section of the outer liner portion. The abutting planar base sections are suitably secured together as by stabling to fixedly secure the clip on the sleeve to preclude damage to the sleeve in response to repeated actuation of the latch members.
