DEFINITION

Classification: 206/170

(under subclass 162) A carrier so articulated, or readily foldable, that in a nonuse state (i.e., without containers)

it may be repeatedly rearranged without destroying a joint into a relatively flat or compact form for shipment storage.

(1) Note. Merely disassembling an interfitted or interlocked joint- which joint can subsequently be interlocked again by relative position of its element is not "destroying" in the sense of tearing, delaminating, deforming (beyond elastic limits), or removal of separate fastener elements.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

193+, for a carrier erected from a folded blank which may be restored to its blank form without destroying any joint structure.
