Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container, particularly intended for pourable goods, of the kind which includes a hose-like casing of pliant material and a rope which has one end thereof joined to a first end-part of the casing, said first end-part being gathered to form a bottom of the container, and extends from said bottom up through the container space and slideably out through a second end-part of the casing, said second end-part being gathered to form an upper part of the container, and the other end of which rope is bound around said second end-part of the casing and a portion of the rope surrounded by said second end-part, said w rope forming between the bindning location where it is bound around said second end-part and the opening for its passage out through said second end-part of the casing a U-shaped lifting loop intended for receiving a lifting hook or like device for lifting the container together with its contents.
- Containers of this kind are known, inter alia, from US Patent Specifications Nos. 3 973 609, 4 069 852 and 4 222 422.
- a lifting hook or like device which is inserted in the lifting loop and which permits such sliding of the rope that the stresses therein are distributed substantially uniformly over both parts of the loop, these stresses, as a result of the ability of the rope to slide in said second end-part of the casing, are advantageously transmitted to,. and distributed substantially evenly between the upper part and the bottom of the container.
- the container When handling such containers together with their contents, for example when moving a container, suspended from a hook passed through the lifting loop, between filling station and store, from store to truck, and vice versa; from truck to boat, and vice versa; and between store and consumer station, the container is constantly subjected to dynamic stresses, i.e. the load acting between lifting loop and lifting hook constantly varies and can reach peak levels which exceed several times the load exerted under static conditions on the rope of a filled container suspended from a hook. Depending on different circumstances, the time interval between these peak values may vary from one third of a second to one second which means 60-180 load peaks per minute.
- each such loading peak can cause the rope to slip slightly relative to the surrounding casing material at the upper part of the container, resulting in wear and in the risk that the casing material may be worn away.
- the rope is able to slide extensively relative to the casing material at the upper part of the container, often resulting in an undesirable change in the shape of the filled container when it is lifted from or lowered on to a resting place, such as the floor of a storeroom, the platform of a lorry etc.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a novel and useful container construction with which the aforementioned disadvantages are at least substantially eliminated.
- the container proposed in accordance with the invention has been found to be equally as strong as the known containers in which no provision is made for locking the rope relative to the upper part of the container, while substantially reducing the risk of wearing the casing material away at the upper part of the container, and providing advantages with respect to the shape taken by the container when filled.
- the rope may extend out through an opening formed in said second end-part of the casing, above said binding location, said end-part of said casing suitably being folded over in the region of the opening for passage of the rope out therefrom, and is preferably bound by means of a single or double sheet bend or some other corresponding, self-tightening knot.
- the durability of the connection between the rope and said second end-part of the casing can be improved to some extent when the rope, in accordance with a suitable embodiment of the invention, is a double-stranded or, preferably, a single-stranded rope.
- the container may advantageously be provided between said rope portion and said second end-part of the casing with a tubular part which surrounds the rope and which comprises a soft, flexible, preferably liquid-tight material, and which accompanies the rope out through said opening and extends along at least a portion of that part of the rope located outside the casing.
- the sack-like container illustrated in Figure 1 comprises a casing 10, which has the form of a hose made from a flexible, for example woven plastics material, and the mutually opposite end-parts of which are gathered together to form the upper part 11 and the bottom 12 of the container.
- the casing is held gathered at the bottom 12 by means of a suitable holder means 13, such as a rope, a clamp or the like.
- the casing 10 encloses a container space 14, which is filled with pourable goods, such as pulvurent or granulated fertilizer, cement or seeds, as illustrated in dotted fashion.
- One end of a rope 15 is joined to the lower end-part of the casing 10 gathered by the holder means 13, and extends up through the container space 14 and slideably out through an opening 16 formed in the gathered upper end-part 17 of the casing 10.
- the opposite end of the rope 15 is bound or tied around the upper end-part 17 of the casing, at a binding location beneath the opening 16, in a manner to obtain a self-tightening knot 18, the rope-part located between the binding location and the opening forming an external U-shaped lifting loop 19, intended to receive a lifting hook or like device which is intended for lifting the container together with its contents and which permits the rope 15 to slide relative to the loop.
- the knot 18 is so formed that when the filled container is lifted initially, the rope 15 is able to slide axially within the end-part 17 of the casing, so that the loads acting on the upper part 11 and the bottom 12 of the casing 10 are distributed substantially uniformly, via the rope 15, between said upper container part and said bottom, such that the container will take a favourable shape with respect to the loads exerted thereon.
- the filled container, suspended from the loop 19 is subjected to a dynamic load which substantially exceeds, preferably 1 - 2.5 times the load exerted by the filled container on the lifting loop when the suspended, filled container is stationary, the knot 18 tightens and locks the part of the rope 15 embraced by said casing end-part 17 relative to said end-part 17.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a container, particularly intended for pourable goods, of the kind which includes a hose-like casing of pliant material and a rope which has one end thereof joined to a first end-part of the casing, said first end-part being gathered to form a bottom of the container, and extends from said bottom up through the container space and slideably out through a second end-part of the casing, said second end-part being gathered to form an upper part of the container, and the other end of which rope is bound around said second end-part of the casing and a portion of the rope surrounded by said second end-part, said w rope forming between the bindning location where it is bound around said second end-part and the opening for its passage out through said second end-part of the casing a U-shaped lifting loop intended for receiving a lifting hook or like device for lifting the container together with its contents.
- Containers of this kind are known, inter alia, from US Patent Specifications Nos. 3 973 609, 4 069 852 and 4 222 422. When lifting such containers, together with their contents, by means of a lifting hook or like device which is inserted in the lifting loop and which permits such sliding of the rope that the stresses therein are distributed substantially uniformly over both parts of the loop, these stresses, as a result of the ability of the rope to slide in said second end-part of the casing, are advantageously transmitted to,. and distributed substantially evenly between the upper part and the bottom of the container.
- When handling such containers together with their contents, for example when moving a container, suspended from a hook passed through the lifting loop, between filling station and store, from store to truck, and vice versa; from truck to boat, and vice versa; and between store and consumer station, the container is constantly subjected to dynamic stresses, i.e. the load acting between lifting loop and lifting hook constantly varies and can reach peak levels which exceed several times the load exerted under static conditions on the rope of a filled container suspended from a hook. Depending on different circumstances, the time interval between these peak values may vary from one third of a second to one second which means 60-180 load peaks per minute. If it is assumed that a filled disposable container can be handled, in accordance with the above, up to 30 times in its useful life, and that each handling period covers a duration of one minute, the filled container may thus be subjected to 1800-5400 load peaks. In the case of the known containers of the aforedescribed kind, each such loading peak can cause the rope to slip slightly relative to the surrounding casing material at the upper part of the container, resulting in wear and in the risk that the casing material may be worn away. As a result of the ability of the rope to slide freely relative to the casing material in the known containers of the aforedescribed kind, the rope is able to slide extensively relative to the casing material at the upper part of the container, often resulting in an undesirable change in the shape of the filled container when it is lifted from or lowered on to a resting place, such as the floor of a storeroom, the platform of a lorry etc.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a novel and useful container construction with which the aforementioned disadvantages are at least substantially eliminated.
- To this end it is proposed that in a container of the kind described in the introduction said other end of the rope forms a self-tightening knot so arranged that it permanently locks said rope portion against sliding relative to the surroudning end-part of the casing, when the lifting loop, with the container filled with the intended load and suspended from said loop, is subjected to a load which substantially exceeds, preferably by 1 - 2.5 times the load exerted on the lifting loop by the suspended, filled container in a static condition. As a result of this arrangement, that portion of the rope passing through the upper part of the container will be locked relative to said upper part when the lifting loop is subjected to dynamic loads, when the loads acting on the upper part and the bottom of the container casing are substantially equally as great and the container, together with its contents, adopts a substantially optimal shape. The container proposed in accordance with the invention has been found to be equally as strong as the known containers in which no provision is made for locking the rope relative to the upper part of the container, while substantially reducing the risk of wearing the casing material away at the upper part of the container, and providing advantages with respect to the shape taken by the container when filled.
- In accordance with an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the rope may extend out through an opening formed in said second end-part of the casing, above said binding location, said end-part of said casing suitably being folded over in the region of the opening for passage of the rope out therefrom, and is preferably bound by means of a single or double sheet bend or some other corresponding, self-tightening knot.
- The durability of the connection between the rope and said second end-part of the casing can be improved to some extent when the rope, in accordance with a suitable embodiment of the invention, is a double-stranded or, preferably, a single-stranded rope.
- To provide, inter alia, protection against wear on the casing, the container may advantageously be provided between said rope portion and said second end-part of the casing with a tubular part which surrounds the rope and which comprises a soft, flexible, preferably liquid-tight material, and which accompanies the rope out through said opening and extends along at least a portion of that part of the rope located outside the casing.
- The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to a number of exemplary embodiments thereof illustrated in the accompanying drawing, further characterizing features of the invention and advantages afforded thereby also being made apparent.
- Figure 1 is an axial sectional view of the upper and lower part of a first embodiment of a container according to the invention.
- Figures 2 - 4 are axial sectional views of the upper part of a second, a third and a fourth embodiment respectively of the container according to the invention.
- Corresponding elements of the various embodiments have been referenced by the same numerals in the various Figures of the drawing.
- The sack-like container illustrated in Figure 1 comprises a
casing 10, which has the form of a hose made from a flexible, for example woven plastics material, and the mutually opposite end-parts of which are gathered together to form theupper part 11 and thebottom 12 of the container. The casing is held gathered at thebottom 12 by means of a suitable holder means 13, such as a rope, a clamp or the like. Thecasing 10 encloses acontainer space 14, which is filled with pourable goods, such as pulvurent or granulated fertilizer, cement or seeds, as illustrated in dotted fashion. - One end of a
rope 15 is joined to the lower end-part of thecasing 10 gathered by the holder means 13, and extends up through thecontainer space 14 and slideably out through an opening 16 formed in the gathered upper end-part 17 of thecasing 10. The opposite end of therope 15 is bound or tied around the upper end-part 17 of the casing, at a binding location beneath theopening 16, in a manner to obtain a self-tighteningknot 18, the rope-part located between the binding location and the opening forming an externalU-shaped lifting loop 19, intended to receive a lifting hook or like device which is intended for lifting the container together with its contents and which permits therope 15 to slide relative to the loop. Theknot 18 is so formed that when the filled container is lifted initially, therope 15 is able to slide axially within the end-part 17 of the casing, so that the loads acting on theupper part 11 and thebottom 12 of thecasing 10 are distributed substantially uniformly, via therope 15, between said upper container part and said bottom, such that the container will take a favourable shape with respect to the loads exerted thereon. When the filled container, suspended from theloop 19, is subjected to a dynamic load which substantially exceeds, preferably 1 - 2.5 times the load exerted by the filled container on the lifting loop when the suspended, filled container is stationary, theknot 18 tightens and locks the part of therope 15 embraced by said casing end-part 17 relative to said end-part 17. - In the Figure 1 embodiment the
casing 10 is provided with a liner orinner casing 20 in the form of a substantially hose-like part of soft, flexible, liquid-tight plastics material, the bottom part of which is gathered between thecasing 10 and therope 15 by means ofholder means 13 and which, by means of asimilar holder means 21 is held gathered around therope 15 at the upper part of said inner casing, via asleeve 22 arranged for displacement along therope 15. With the illustrated arrangement, theinner casing 20 will be effectively supported by thecasing 10 and will automatically adopt a position in which the loads thereon are minimal. Theinner casing 20 is provided with a so-calledfilling valve 23 which, in order to facilitate filling of the container, can be pulled out through anaxial slit 24 in theouter casing 10, and then re-inserted into the outer casing, to be protected thereby. Thereference 25 identifies a means for closing thevalve 23.. Thereference 26 identifies a connection or bond between thecasings inner casing 20 can move relative to therope 15 and relative to the upper part of theouter casing 10 respectively. - Arranged between the end-
part 17 of the casing and the portion of therope 15 embraced thereby is atubular member 27 which encloses the rope and which is made of a soft, pliant material and accompanies the rope some distance out through the opening 16. Thetubular member 27 may advantageously comprise a liquid-tight material and may be gathered externally of the opening 16 around therope 15, or be caused to lie close to the outside of therope 15, in a manner to prevent the passage of moisture and water between said tubular member and said rope into the interior of the container. Thetubular member 27, illustrated in side view, which protects the end-part 17 of the casing against wear by therope 15, is flared internally of thecasing 10, to form a bell-shaped cape 28, shown in axial section, which covers and protects the upper part of theinner casing 20. The material from which thecape 28 with associatedtubular member 27 is made may be provided with additives capable of absorbing or reflecting radiation harmful to theinner casing 20, such as UV-radiation. Thecape 28 can be reached through theslit 24, to enable the bottom-edge part of the cape to be drawn up, to expose thevalve 23 when filling the container, and then lowered again to the illustrated position. Thereference 29 identifies a bowl-shaped protective insert made of a soft, pliant material, which is connected at itsupper end 30, for example with the aid of an adhesive, to the outer and/or "inner casing casings insert 29 may also be placed within theinner casing 20. - The container illustrated in Figure 2 is not provided with an inner casing, and it is assumed that the
casing 10 is made from a liquid-tight material. For example, thecasing 10 may consist of a hose formed from a woven plastics material coated internally with a water-tight plastics layer. Arranged in theupper part 11 of the illustrated container is afilling valve 23. The upper end-part 17 of the casing is shown to be gathered and folded over in the region of theopening 16, and bound by means of a self-tighteningknot 18 formed with the aid of therope 15 which forms thelifting loop 19 and extends through the container space. That portion of therope 15 which is embraced by the casing end-part 17 is embraced by thetubular member 27 of soft, flexible material located between said rope and said end-part 17. Thetubular member 27 comprises the upper part of a liquid-tight tube 31 which extends down through the whole of thecontainer space 14, to form a liquid-tight shield between said space and that part of therope 15 extending therethrough. - Arranged in the embodiment illustrated in Figure 3 is an
inner casing 20 having a container-filling valve which extends through the slit in theupper part 11 of theouter casing 10. Therope 15 extends up through thecontainer space 14, and out through the opening 16 in the gathered end-part 17 of the outer casing. The rope forms alifting loop 19 above thecasing 11, and therope 15 is bound around the foldedend part 17, to form a self-tighteningknot 18. Thetube 25 embracing therope 15 in the region where it passes through the gathered end-part 17 is formed by an upper end-part of.-reduced diameter of theinner casing 20. - The embodiment illustrated in Figure 4 is substantially the same as that illustrated in Figure 1 and will not therefore be described in detail. The only difference between the Figure 4 embodiment and the Figure 1 embodiment is that the
cape 21 is omitted and that thetubular member 27 embraces, within the container, the upper end-part of theinner casing 20 gathered around thesleeve 22. The lower end of thetubular member 27, shown in axial section, is secured by means of the holder means 21. In this embodiment, thetubular member 27 restricts the extent to which theinner casing 20 can move along therope 15, and hence thebond 26 illustrated in the Figure 1 embodiment can also be omitted. - The invention is not restricted to the embodiments described with reference to the drawing, and the design of the container according to the invention can naturally be modified in various ways within the scope of the following claims. The
knot 18 can be caused to lock the end-part 17 of the casing relative to therope 15, under controlled conditions, in conjunction with filling the container, by purposely subjecting the container suspended from thelifting loop 19 to movements of such nature as to cause thelifting loop 19 to be subjected to dynamic loads of sufficient magnitude to tighten said knot.
