ABSTRACT:
Shipping container for transporting a fragile cylindrical sleeve is constructed to facilitate mounting and demounting of the sleeve without any damage thereto. The container is designed to align the sleeve with a mandrel in a surfacing machine or a drum of a nonwoven fabric producing machine, which is useful when a cylindrical sleeve is being transferred from the shipping container onto the mandrel or drum, or vice versa. The container is useful in transporting a blank cylindrical sleeve from its production facility to a surfacing facility, aligning and mounting the blank sleeve on a mandrel in a surfacing machine, removing the machined sleeve from the surfacing machine, transporting the machined sleeve to a nonwoven fabric production facility, and mounting and aligning the machined sleeve on a nonwoven fabric producing machine. The container includes an elongated outer housing having front and rear ends. Two doors are positioned at the front end of the outer housing to provide access to the interior of the housing to place a cylindrical sleeve therein or to remove a cylindrical sleeve therefrom. A support tube, on which the cylindrical sleeve is supported in the container, is mounted within the container by a cantilever mounting at the rear end of the outer housing.
