<p>A low-cost totally recyclable container made of corrugated cardboard for packaging a large mass of coiled welding wire is disclosed. The improved container minimizes the costs of packaging and avoids the need of large volumes for transportation and storage of empty containers to and from the welding wire manufacturing plant and at the welding plant. The container in kit form or assembled with or without the wire coil includes a wire retaining device of simple and inexpensive design to press down on the top of the coil of wire when in the container without binding against the inner walls of the container while preventing the wire which is arranged in a multitude of layers of wire loops from tangling during transportation, storage, and unwinding while providing effective means for smooth and uninterrupted payout of welding wire to automatic welding machines. The wire retaining device is secured relative to the inner wall of the container by means of plastic or metallic strips passing through peripheral openings in the retaining device, said strips being fixed to the wall at two vertically spaced points along the height of the welding wire mass. The container is fully recyclable avoiding the environmental impact caused by other packaging materials.</p> |
