US Patent:

6401433, Jun 11, 2002

Filed:

Aug 14, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/929725

Inventors:

David Michael McCown - Arlington TX
George M. Hall - Colleyville TX

Assignee:

Olympic General Corporation - Reno NV

International Classification:

B65B 4304

US Classification:

53442, 53452, 53455

Abstract:

A protective covering for a lumber stack is constructed by providing an appropriately sized sheet of heavy duty heat shrinkable plastic material, folding the side edges of the plastic sheeting material inwardly along spaced apart longitudinally extending lines to form top and bottom layers and joining the ends of the top and bottom layer to define a top layer which is imperforate throughout its entire length and width and a bottom layer which is imperforate throughout its entire length and width except for an opening extending along the longitudinal center line of the bottom wall from one end to the other. A lumber stack is received through the opening in the bottom wall thereby forming initially outwardly extending triangularly shaped panels which are folded downwardly and secured to the ends of the lumber stack. The portions of the plastic sheeting extending adjacent the ends and the corners of the lumber stack are then heated to shrink the plastic sheeting into secure engagement with the lumber stack.

A lumber stack is received through the opening in the bottom wall thereby forming initially upwardly extending rectangularly shaped panels which are folded downwardly and secured to the ends of the lumber stack. The portions of the plastic sheeting extending adjacent the ends and the corners of the lumber stack are then heated to shrink the plastic sheeting into secure engagement with the lumber stack.
