Bulk box dampening systems

摘要

A packaging assembly comprises a bulk box having a shock absorber to dampen a kinetic energy of product being dispensed from a conveyor system. The shock absorber may be a rectangular sheet shock absorber disposed diagonally in the bulk box, a shuttle tray shock absorber disposed in an opening of the bulk box, a deflector net disposed in an opening of the bulk box, or a inflatable bag shock absorber disposed in the bulk box, for example.

主权项

1. A bulk box for receiving product, the bulk box comprising:
a bottom surface; a front wall opposite a back wall perpendicular to the bottom surface; and a planar sheet formed of a corrugated material disposed diagonally from a top edge of the back wall to a bottom corner of the bottom surface and the front wall, the planar sheet having a fold line arranged to fold as a result of an accumulation of product dispensed into the bulk box, wherein the planar sheet includes a front edge disposed proximate to the bottom corner of the bottom surface, the front edge held stationary by the front wall and the back wall, wherein the fold line is disposed a first distance from the front edge of the planar sheet that is a same distance or nearly a same distance as a width of the bottom surface, and is disposed a second distance from a back edge of the planar sheet that is a same distance or nearly a same distance as to a depth of the back wall of the bulk box.
