WELDING CONSUMABLE PACKAGING

摘要

A container for packaging a welding wire on a spool includes a box with opposed first and second face panels that are separated by four vertical side walls. At least one aperture is provided on one of the first and second face panels located at one of the four vertically extending corners. Each aperture is defined by a frangible connection on one of the first and second face panels so that an interior of the box is initially inaccessible. At least one corner reinforcing element is provided that penetrates into the interior of the box via the aperture at one vertically extending corner after said frangible connection of the aperture is breached. The at least one corner reinforcing element engages the spool and forms a vertical support located at the vertically extending corner and between the first and second face panels.

1. A container for packaging a welding wire, said container comprising:
a box comprising opposed first and second face panels that are separated by four vertical side walls and four vertically extending corners; at least one aperture on the first and second face panels, located at one of the four vertically extending corners and being defined by a frangible connection on one of the first and second face panels so that an interior of the box is initially inaccessible; and at least one corner reinforcing element comprising a main body and an abutment member, the main body comprising a terminal end, and the abutment member comprising an outer profile that corresponds to a spool containing a coil of welding wire located within said box, wherein, after said frangible connection of the at least one aperture is breached, the at least one corner reinforcing element penetrates into the interior of the box via said at least one aperture at one of the vertically extending corners, and wherein the at least one corner reinforcing element engages an outer perimeter rim of said spool containing a coil of welding wire located within said box.
