Side wall construction for a container for shipping goods

摘要

A side wall construction for a container for shipping goods includes upper and lower hollow tubular chords which are interconnected by a side wall portion. Each chord is of substantially rectangular configuration and includes a lower downwardly sloping wall with a bottom opening directly adjacent the downwardly sloping wall in the adjacent wall and with a top opening vertically offset and diagonally opposite the lower opening. The interior of each chord is provided with a plurality of downwardly inclined and oppositely directed sheet metal deflectors. The deflectors advantageously extend inwardly from respective opposite walls and the clearance between the end of the deflector with the adjacent opposite wall is smaller than the cross-section of the openings in the chords.
