Container for shipping fragile products and method for making the same

摘要

A container for transporting glass sheets includes a bottom structure, a back wall and first and second side walls coupled to the back wall, all three walls extending upwardly from the bottom structure. The container also includes a back support structure coupled to the back wall that is configured to constrain a plurality of glass sheets. The back support structure includes at least one back support member that extends in a substantially vertical direction and includes at least one offset member that includes a first/second side defining a first/second length extending inwardly a first/second distance from the back support member. The second length is greater than the first length. The back support structure also includes at least one foam rail coupled to a foam rail support member. The foam rail support member is coupled to the offset member.

1. A container for transporting glass sheets, said container defining an internal volume and comprising:
a bottom structure; a back wall extending upwardly from said bottom structure; a first side wall coupled to said back wall and extending upwardly from said bottom structure; a second side wall opposite said first side wall coupled to said back wall and extending upwardly from said bottom structure; and a back support structure coupled to said back wall and configured to constrain a plurality of glass sheets, said back support structure comprising:
at least one back support member, said at least one back support member extending in a substantially vertical direction;at least one offset member comprising:
a first side defining a first length extending inwardly a first distance from said at least one back support member toward the internal volume of said container; anda second side defining a second length extending inwardly a second distance from said at least one back support member toward the internal volume of said container, wherein said second length is greater than said first length; andat least one foam rail coupled to a foam rail support member, said foam rail support member is coupled to said at least one offset member.
