  • the end wall panels are further provided with side coats 12.3 and 14.3 along their outer side faces to co-operate with the fold-over tabs 22.1, 22.2, and 22.3.
  • the end wall panels 12 and 14 and the partition panel 16 may be wholly or partly of timber. A construction in which these panels 'are partly of timber will be described more fully hereafter.
  • panels such as 12, 14, 16, and 18 are suitably coated with contact adhesive as shown, and are then dispatched in unassembled form to the user.
  • the user when he requires the containers, will assemble the panels into container form, as shown for example in FIGURE 1.
  • the coated faces of the various panels are brought into registration and pressure is applied.
  • the panels then stick together at those regions and the container is firm and strong.
  • the contact adhesive coats may be activated immediately prior to use by wiping with a solvent. This activationmay be necessary if assembly takes place a long time after coatmg.
  • a cover panel is fixed on top by convenient means permitting opening for inspection of the contents.
  • Reference numeral 30 refers to an end wall panel comprising a peripheral timber framework, generally indicated by 32, and side panels 34.
  • the timber framework comprises upper and lower longitudinal members 36 and I 38, and front and rear uprightmembers 40 and42.
  • the longitudinal and upright members may be secured together, such as by staples,nails or adhesive, prior to the attachment of the side panels 34. But if desired, they may be held together merely by the side panels 34 when in position.
  • These side panels may be of cardboard, corrugated or plain, of kraft, or of synthetic plastic sheet material which may be translucent or transparent.
  • the framework and side panels are shown having coats of adhesive along regions 44 and 46 for securing them together.
  • This adhesive need not necessarily be a contact adhesive.
  • the panel may be used in the place of timber panels in the making of containers for example, for agricultural produce. Accordingly, these panels may be used ⁇ as end wall panels and partition panels in the manufacture of containers, as described.
  • FIGURES 6, 7, and 8 of the drawings there are shown a shallow tray-type container in FIGURE 6, and a deep box in FIGURE .7.
  • the tray container 50 of FIGURE 6 has a composite panel 18.6 similar to the composite panel for FIGURES 1 and 2, except that it has no tabs for, oo-operating with side coats, such as 14.3, on the end wall panels, and except that it has also top longitudinal strips 18.64. It has rear and front panels 18.61 and 18.62 corresponding to the panels 18.1 and 18.2 of FIGURES 1 and 2. .It has a floor panel 18.63 corresponding to the floor panel 18.3
  • FIGURES 1 and 2. It also has adhesive coats corresponding to 2-4.1 and 28.1 for adhering to the end wall panels 14.
  • This composite panel 18.6 looks very much like the composite panel 18.7 of FIGURE 7, except that panel 18.6 has no tabs 22.71, 22.72, 22.73, and 18.741. Furthermore, the side walls 18.61 and 18.62 are of'course shallower than the side walls 18.71 and 18.72.
