End face boards for styles 1 and 2 boxes shall be placed with the grain horizontal, except that when horizontal battens are used in end panels, the grain of the face boards shall be
42、 vertical. End face boards for style 3 boxes shall be placed with the grain vertical. When 2-ply veneer ends are used for style 3 boxes, the two plies of single thickness veneer shall be c.rassed with the grains at right angles and stapled together with not less than two lines of staples. A line of
43、staples shall be located approximately 1 inch fran the parallel to each horizontal edge of the end face boa.rd (see 3.3.7.2). The aion of grain of the ply to which the end wire is stitched shall be vertical. 3.3.2 Cleats. Cleats are pieces of lumber which form the framwork of the box and to which fa
44、ce boards of the top, bottan, and sides are stapled. Cleats shall be mde of group II, III, or IV woods only. Each cleat shall be a single piece of wood without any joints. Cleats shall be made with mitered ends or with mortised and tenoned ends tongue-and-groove. Dimensions shall be actual dimension
45、s, 1-1/32 inch. Rige cleats of all styles of boxes shall be 13/16 inch wide and 7/8 inch in thickness for boxes having weight of contents up to 300 pounds. For boxes having weight of contents fran 300 to 500 pounds, edge cleats shall be 1-1/8 inches wide and 1-1/8 inches in thichss, except that when
46、 HVB or HVBW end pat- are used (see 3.4), edge cleats shall be 13/16 inch wide and 7/8 inch in thickness. 3.3.2.1 Intermediate cleats. Boxes for types 2 and 3 loads, having greater between-cleat dimensions than specified in table III, shall be reinforced with one or more rows of intermediate cleats,
47、 except as belm. Raws of intermediate cleats are not required on boxes for type 1 loads. The distance between adjacent rows of cleats shall not exceed the distance indicated in table III. In special designs for types 2 and 3 loads, where required, size and location of intermediate cleats shall be sp
48、ecified (see 6.3). If the use of intermdiate cleats is undesirable or impractical, the intedate cleats may be anitted but the thickness of face boards shall be increased to the thickness specified for the between cleat dimension indicated in table III. , 10 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproducti
