ABSTRACT:
Transport packaging, capable of being erected or folded, and when erected serving as a shipper for commercial packaging of goods. The packaging is defined by a structural framework [100] capable of carrying a sheath, film wrap or cover, or other materials of vessel-forming character to hold and protect products to be transported within the framework. The framework when erected provides contents-receptive configuration to protect the packing and its contents against the stresses of filling, storage, distribution, merchandising and use of the packaging. The framework has a plurality of horizontal and vertical members [102, 103, 105, 106, 107, 108, 110, 111], wherein horizontal members define lengthwise structural elements and the vertical members define upright structural elements, together defining an exoskeleton having windowed open frame panels of the framework joined pivotally at lower and fixedly/securely at upper corners defined by the upright structural elements. At each of the lower corners is a shiftable stabilizer [123], selectively securing the horizontal and vertical elements on each lower corner in stabilized, locked, relationship when the framework is erected, but the stabilizers each being selectively shiftable from stabilizing position to permit the frame to fold into or out of an unerected condition so it can be returned to a location for being refilled with contents, so as to be sustainably capable of reuse many times. The framework also provides for stacking
esting and securement together of tiers of the new transport packages.
