Definitions

  • the present invention relates to containers for transport, storing and handling of liquids, and more closely to a container shaped as a cylinder and made of sheet material, placed edgeways on a load transporting platform and containing a liquidproof insert in the form of a plastic sack or similar.
  • This known container consists of a cylinder of sheet material such as fibre board, cardboard, plastic or similar which cylinder is placed edgeways on a load transporting platform such as a pallet, around a bottom located upon this platform.
  • a conventional lid closes the end of the cylinder faced upwards.
  • a container of the type mentioned is cheap and is of a low weight empty, it is good for the environment and can easily be refused e.g. by firing. If any portion of the container is broken such as by outer mechanical damages this portion can easily be substituted without any special measures or tools while remaining portions of the container can be further used in the condition in which they are. Regardless of whether the container is used as a container of disposable type or a container to be used several times it is of such evident advantages that an enlargement of the use thereof is highly desirable.
  • the problem of handling liquids within the container of the type mentioned is, accordingly, to get the cylinder wall to resist the shock impacts appearing when the liquid within the container is subjected to movements.
  • the unsophisticated solution of this problem would apparently be a reinforcement of the cylinder wall in some way, such as by increasing the thickness of the wall, by stretching a band around the cylinder or by arranging reinforcing ridges.
  • the object of the present invention is to remove the above problems. This object is reached by a container of the type referred to in the claims from which claims also the especially characterizing features of the invention are clear.
  • the container 1 shown in the drawing consists of a cylinder 2 of sheet material, preferably fibre sheet or fibre board, which is placed edgeways around a bottom 4 on a load transporting platform 3 in the shape of a pallet.
  • a lid 5 closes the upper end of the cylinder 2 and an insert 6 in the shape of a plastic sack for containing the liquid for which the container 1 is to be used is mounted in the cylinder 2.
  • the bottom 4 is in the shown embodiment constituted by a circular plate of plywood, fibre board or similar material and around the periphery thereof there is a profile which is L-shaped in cross section, the one leg of which extends under the bottom 4 and the other leg of which extends upwards a distance above the upper plane of the bottom 4.
  • the bottom 4 is preferably attached thereto e.g. by nailing.
  • the cylinder 2 consists of double walls, an inner wall 8 and an outer wall 9 both of which are of fibre board having a thickness of between 2 and 5 mm.
  • the starting material is a rectangular sheet which has been bent or shaped to a cylinder and the overlapping edge portions of which are locked to each other by stapling, riveting, screwing or the like.
  • the inner cylinder wall 8 has, in this connection, an inner diameter which is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the bottom 4 so that it easily can be threaded over the L-shaped profile delimiting the periphery of the bottom 4.
  • the outer cylinder wall is formed in the same way as the inner one but it is so much bigger that it without play worth mentioning can be threaded outside the inner cylinder wall 8.
  • the laps In order to avoid the laps from gripping each other and giving rise to damages of the cylinders during the movements of the walls in relation to each other when the container is in use the laps must be displaced a distance from each other. Further, in order to obtain such a good strength as possible in the cylinder the laps ought to be displaced so much from each other that the shock impacts which might appear can act only against one lap at a time. In this connection, the laps should neither be located opposite each other but a displacement between 45 and 9 0 ° between the laps is suitable.
  • the lid 5 consists of a plate 10 preferably of the same structure as the bottom 4 but having a diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the cylinder 2.
  • a L-shaped profile 11 is extended around its periphery having one leg extending in over the plate 10 and the other leg down around the cylinder 2.
  • a plane plastic sack 6 is inserted in the container 1 which sack in a conventional way has its upper portion tied.
  • Such an insert sack may be provided with a sleeve which is folded down over the upper edge of the inner cylinder wall 8 and in this connection, the sleeve is clamped between the two cylinder walls 8 and 9 and depending on the material in the sleeve as well as the distance it extends inwards in the interspace it can add to keep the friction low between the abutting walls.
  • a skirt may exist at the bottom of the insert sack, which skirt is clamped between e.g. the upwards extending leg of the L-shaped profile 7 and the internal side of the inner cylinder wall 8.
  • An emptying valve may be arranged in the bottom of the container and this valve opens then preferably in the most central space 12 in the pallet 3 where the portions of the valve are well protected for damage.
  • the container in accordance with the present invention differs from previously known containers of similar type primarily by the fact that the cylinder 2 is constituted by a double wall. As mentioned in the preamble it would be normal to increase the thickness of the wall or to provide the wall with reinforcements in order to increase the strength of the wall. Tests in that direction have, however, not given the desired result. One is in this connection neither allowed to disregard the advantages residing in the fact that it is possible to make use of a material which is relatively easy to shape and which is of low weight in comparison with the strength thereof.
  • suitable material for the cylinder walls are different types of sheet material such as fibre board, board consisting of several layers of cardboard and similar, like such boards as glass fibre reinforced fibre board.
  • bundle straps may extend into and through the pallet 3 and up along the cylinder wall 2 and above the lid 5, the bundle straps crossing each other under the bottom 4 and upon the lid 5.
