Bulkhead divider system for a delivery container

Abstract

A bulkhead divider system including a delivery container, a divider wall, and at least one strap assembly is provided. The delivery container includes a plurality of walls defining an interior compartment. The at least one strap assembly is coupled with the divider wall for securely attaching the divider wall to at least two of the plurality of walls of the delivery container. In another aspect, the bulkhead divider system may include a divider wall having a top edge, a bottom edge, and two opposing side edges. The divider wall may further include a fold line positioned adjacent to at least one of the top edge, bottom edge, and opposing side walls to define a corresponding number of flanges. The flanges allow the divider wall to be frictionally engaged with a wall of the delivery container.

       6 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the divider wall is formed of corrugated plastic. 
   
   
       7 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the divider wall includes at least one handle aperture defined therein. 
   
   
       8 . A bulkhead divider system comprising:
 a delivery container including a plurality of walls defining an interior compartment;   a divider wall; and   at least one strap assembly coupled with the divider wall for securely attaching the divider wall to at least two of the plurality of walls of the delivery container, wherein the divider wall defines the two compartments within the delivery container.   
   
   
       9 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the divider wall includes at least one strap aperture defined therein, wherein the at least one strap assembly is positioned within the strap aperture to couple the at least one strap assembly to the divider wall. 
   
   
       10 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the at least one strap assembly includes an end fastener on each end for securing the at least one strap assembly to the at least two walls of the delivery container. 
   
   
       11 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the delivery container includes a rail mounted to each of the at least two of the plurality of walls, wherein the ends fasteners are each secured to the respective rails. 
   
   
       12 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 8 , further comprising a ratchet assembly associated with said at least one strap assembly, wherein the ratchet assembly increases the tension of the at least one strap assembly between the at least two walls of the delivery container to securely fasten the divider wall to the at least two walls. 
   
   
       13 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the divider wall includes a fold line that allows the divider wall to be collapsible. 
   
   
       14 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the divider wall is formed of corrugated plastic. 
   
   
       15 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the divider wall includes at least one handle aperture defined therein. 
   
   
       16 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the delivery container is a tractor trailer. 
   
   
       17 . A bulkhead divider system for separating an interior compartment of a delivery container, the bulkhead divider system comprising a divider wall having a top edge, a bottom edge, and two opposing side edges, the divider wall including a first fold line positioned adjacent to one of the top edge, bottom edge, and opposing side walls to define a first flange, wherein the first flange allows the divider wall to be frictionally engaged with a wall of the delivery container. 
   
   
       18 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the divider wall includes a second fold line positioned adjacent to another one of the top edge, bottom edge, and opposing side walls to define a second flange, wherein the second flange allows the divider wall to be frictionally engaged with another wall of the delivery container. 
   
   
       19 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the divider wall has a vent aperture defined therein, and a curtain for selectively covering the vent aperture. 
   
   
       20 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 17 , further comprising at least one strap assembly coupled with the divider wall for securely attaching the divider wall to at least two walls of the delivery container to couple the at least one strap assembly to the divider wall. 
   
   
       21 . A bulkhead divider system as recited in  claim 20 , wherein the divider wall includes at least one strap aperture defined therein, wherein the at least one strap assembly is positioned within the strap aperture.
