Abstract

A container assembly having an inner container and an outer cover fixedly attached to one another. The inner container has multiple sidewalls for forming the inner container sidewalls and has a bottom forming flap attached thereto. The outer cover has multiple cover sidewalls that fit over the inner container sidewalls to enclose the inner container. At least one attachment member attached to and extending from the outer cover is attached to the bottom forming flap, thereby fixedly attaching the inner container to the outer container. The attachment member can be separated from the container outer cover to allow removal of the outer cover from the inner container without marring the finish of the outside face of the sidewalls of the inner container. A knockdown assembly that is erectable to form the container assembly is also provided.

         20 . A container assembly comprising:
 an inner container having multiple sidewalls for forming outer walls of said inner container and which are capable of holding goods therein, said multiple side walls having a top edge and at least one bottom flap opposite said top edge which extends from a lower end of said multiple side walls to form said container bottom;   an outer cover having multiple cover sidewalls and which are configured to fit over said inner container, said outer cover sidewalls having a bottom edge, and at least one top forming flap opposite said bottom edge to form said cover top for enclosing said inner container, said inner container being positioned within said outer cover, said outer cover including at least one attachment member attached to and extending from said outer cover and attached to said bottom forming flap of said inner container thereby fixedly attaching said inner container to said outer cover in a position that allows said top flap to be foldable to enclose said container assembly.   
     
     
         21 . A container in accordance with  claim 20  wherein said attachment member comprises attachment flaps integrally attached to said bottom edge of said outer cover sidewalls and attached with an adhesive to said bottom flap. 
     
     
         22 . A container in accordance with  claim 21  further comprising a line of weakness formed in said attachment flaps along which said outer cover is detachable from said inner container. 
     
     
         23 . A container knockdown assembly capable of being erected into a container assembly having an inner container for holding goods and an outer cover for enclosing said inner container, said knockdown assembly comprising:
 an inner sleeve capable of forming said inner container when said knockdown assembly is erected, said inner sleeve having first and second inner sleeve walls which define inner container sidewalls having a top edge and bottom edge, and at least one bottom forming flap extending from a respective sidewall bottom edge at a bottom edge fold line, said first and second inner sleeve walls having inner and outer faces, with said inner faces adjacent one another;   an outer sleeve capable of forming said outer cover when said knockdown assembly is erected, said outer sleeve having first and second outer sleeve walls which define outer cover sidewalls having a top edge and a bottom edge, and at least one top forming flap extending from a respective sidewall top edge at a top edge fold line, said first and second outer sleeve walls having inner and outer faces, with said inner faces adjacent respective ones of the inner sleeve wall outer faces; and   at least one attachment member extending from said bottom edge of a respective outer cover sidewall and attached to said bottom forming flap of said inner sleeve so as to attach said inner sleeve to said outer sleeve in a generally fixedly position.   
     
     
         24 . A container knockdown assembly in accordance with  claim 23  wherein a line of weakness is defined in said attachment member aligned with a respective bottom edge fold line or spaced from the bottom edge fold line in a direction toward the bottom forming flap of said inner container. 
     
     
         25 . A container knockdown assembly in accordance with  claim 23  wherein the inner sleeve wall outer faces and the outer sleeve wall inner faces are unattached to one another. 
     
     
         26 . A container knockdown assembly capable of being erected into a container assembly having an inner container for holding goods and an outer cover for enclosing said inner container, said knockdown assembly comprising:
 an inner sleeve capable of forming said inner container when said knockdown assembly is erected, said inner sleeve having first and second inner sleeve walls which define inner container sidewalls having a top edge and bottom edge, and at least one bottom forming flap extending from a respective sidewall bottom edge at a bottom edge fold line, said first and second inner sleeve walls having inner and outer faces, with said inner faces adjacent one another;   an outer sleeve capable of forming said outer cover when said knockdown assembly is erected, said outer sleeve having first and second outer sleeve walls which define outer cover sidewalls having a top edge and a bottom edge, and at least one top forming flap extending from a respective sidewall top edge at a top edge fold line, said first and second outer sleeve walls having inner and outer faces, with said inner faces adjacent respective ones of the inner sleeve wall outer faces; and   at least one attachment member extending from said bottom edge of a respective outer cover sidewall and attached to said bottom forming flap of said inner sleeve so as to attach said inner sleeve to said outer sleeve in a generally fixedly position;   wherein the outer cover is removable from the inner container without marring the inner container sidewalls.
