Abstract
A transportation case for a heavy object. A top portion and a mating bottom portion, are proven to be the bottom portion having a lesser height than the top portion to minimize lift-over height into the bottom portion. The bottom portion employs a substantially frusto-conically shaped cushion projecting upwardly therefrom, toward the top portion. The top portion employs a similar frusto-conically shaped cushion projecting downwardly therefrom, toward the bottom portion, the cushions being substantially aligned. The cushions are adapted to be partially inserted into respective apertures in the heavy object, such as, in an aircraft brake assembly. The bottom portion provides for attachment of a removable skid on an exterior surface thereof, the top portion having a corresponding recess for receiving the skid of another transportation case stacked thereon. The top and bottom portions are formed of a double-walled plastic shell, the shell being filled between the walls with a plastic foam, to provide for impact and shock resistance.
