20080296194 | NESTABLE AND STACKABLE CONTAINER FOR THE TRANSPORT OF HEAVY BAKED ITEMS - A container for containing and transporting baked goods is described herein. The container includes a front wall, left side wall, rear wall and a right side wall, wherein each of the walls is substantially orthogonal to a base. The base includes a substantially flat, smooth upper surface, whereby baked goods that are being stored and/or transported are prevented from being damaged. Integrally formed as part of and rising from the base are a plurality of base projections, each with a plurality of sloped curved wall surfaces that substantially prevent packages of the baked goods from shifting and/or sliding when in transit, thereby further preventing damage. The radii of curvature of the curved surfaces of the base projections is substantially similar to the radii of curvature of the packages of baked goods, as well as the baked goods themselves. There are at least two stacking feet per wall of the container, thereby providing operators with the ability to transport and store different types of baked goods, for example baked tortillas, which are generally heavier than most baked goods. The container described herein further includes 180° stacking recesses located on a rim that surrounds the container and that substantially prevent an upper container from shifting or sliding when stacked in a 180° stacking orientation, preferably for the transportation of baked goods. Each of the recesses further comprises a “U” or “[” shaped projection to interface and retain the stacking feet of an upper container when stacked in the 180° stacking orientation. | 12-04-2008 |
20090314675 | BEVERAGE CRATE WITH CONSTANT-DIAMETER POCKETS - A nestable crate or container for holding bottles. The crate has a floor portion substantially in a first plane having a plurality of bottle seating areas, with each bottle seating area being adapted to receive a lower portion of a bottle. The crate also includes a peripheral wall surrounding the floor portion and extending upward from the floor portion, a plurality of central columns extending upward from the floor portion and oriented proximate to a longitudinal centerline of the crate, and a plurality of pylons extending upward from the floor portion along the periphery of the crate. Each central column includes at least one first bottle-contacting surface and each pylon includes at least one second bottle-contacting surface. Both the first and second bottle contacting surfaces are substantially orthogonal to the first plane. | 12-24-2009 |
20100196134 | STACKABLE PACKAGED GOODS PALLET - A pallet for shipping and displaying of packaged goods wherein the pallet comprises a plurality of stacking feet joined together by angled ribs to substantially prevent or inhibit spreading of the stacking feet due to high weight loads, a plurality of handles that include handle-strengthening areas and finger recesses to increase the strength and lifting ergonomics of the pallet, and an angled surface on the bottom of the stacking feet to facilitate transporting of the loaded pallet from a distribution vehicle to a retail location over certain obstacles. Accordingly, the packaged goods can comprise beverage trays filled or partially filled with beverage bottles, or any good and/or raw material for sale and/or use in manufacturing. | 08-05-2010 |
