Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Faltcontainer, insbesondere für Schüttgut wie Kunststoffgranulat oder dergleichen, wie bekannt aus der GB-A-2 037 711.The invention relates to a folding container, in particular for bulk goods such as plastic granules or the like, as known from GB-A-2 037 711.

Für den Transport und die vorübergehende Lagerung von rieselfähigem Schüttgut wie Kunststoffgranulat oder dergleichen kennt man behälterähnliche Einwegverpackungen aus beispielsweise Wellpappe. Derartige Einwegverpackungen, die häufig noch durch Stahlbänder stabilisiert werden müssen, bringen nach ihrer Entleerung ein erhebliches Entsorgungsproblem mit sich. - Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen.For the transport and temporary storage of free-flowing bulk goods such as plastic granules or the like, container-like disposable packaging made of corrugated cardboard, for example, is known. Disposable packaging of this type, which often still has to be stabilized by steel strips, entails a considerable disposal problem after being emptied. - The invention seeks to remedy this.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Container für den Transport, die Lagerung und die Verarbeitung von Schüttgut zu schaffen, der nach seiner Entleerung wiederverwendet und in raumsparender Bauweise zu seinem Füllort zurücktransportiert werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a container for the transport, storage and processing of bulk goods that can be reused after its emptying and transported back to its filling location in a space-saving design.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist Gegenstand der Erfindung ein Faltcontainer gemäß Anspruch 1. - Nach Lehre der Erfindung wird also für den Transport, die Lagerung und die Entleerung des zu verarbeitenden Schüttgutes wie Kunststoffgranulat oder dergleichen ein im Leerzustand zusammenlegbarer Container, nämlich Faltcontainer verwirklicht. Ein solcher Faltcontainer, der nach bevorzugter Ausführungsform aus recycelbarem Kunststoff besteht, läßt sich als Mehrwegverpackung für das Schüttgut einsetzen, ist also häufig wiederverwendbar. Darüber hinaus stellt der erfindungsgemäße Faltcontainer ein raumsparendes Leergut dar, läßt sich also nach der Entleerung auf engem Raum lagern und an seinen Füllort zurücktransportieren. Dadurch entfallen die bisherigen Entsorgungsprobleme. Ferner werden die Verpackungskosten erheblich reduziert. - Darin sind die wesentlichen durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile zu sehen.To achieve this object, the subject of the invention is a folding container according to claim 1. According to the teaching of the invention, the transport, storage and emptying of the a collapsible container in the empty state, namely folding container, is realized for bulk goods to be processed such as plastic granules or the like. Such a folding container, which according to a preferred embodiment consists of recyclable plastic, can be used as reusable packaging for the bulk material and is therefore often reusable. In addition, the folding container according to the invention is a space-saving empties, so it can be stored in a narrow space after emptying and transported back to its filling location. This eliminates the previous disposal problems. Furthermore, the packaging costs are significantly reduced. - This shows the main advantages achieved by the invention.

Weitere erfindungswesentliche Merkmale sind im folgenden aufgeführt. So sind die Entleerungsöffnung und der Verschlußdeckel zweckmäßigerweise kreisrund ausgebildet, wobei der in die Entleerungsöffnung eindrehbare Verschlußdeckel mittels eines Bajonettverschlusses in Schließstellung gesichert ist. Der Verschlußdeckel kann Wasserdurchtrittsschlitze aufweisen, die z. B. im Randbereich des Verschlußdeckels angeordnet sind und eine ständige Entwässerung des Faltcontainers gewährleisten. Zweckmäßigerweise besitzt der Verschlußdeckel auf seiner Unterseite eine Handhabe, z. B. eine über einen Deckeldurchmesser verlaufende Verrippung als Handhabe, so daß der Faltcontainer bzw. seine Entleerungsöffnung bei gefülltem Container unschwer von unten geöffnet werden kann. - Weiter sieht die Erfindung vor, daß der Containerboden auf seiner Unterseite in vorgegebenen Abständen parallel zueinander verlaufende Gleitkufen aufweist, so daß sich der erfindungsgemäße Faltcontainer unschwer von einem Gabelstapler untergreifen und im übrigen verschieben läßt. Das macht den Einsatz von gabelstaplerfähigen Paletten überflüssig, die für die Manipulation von behälterähnlichen Einwegverpackungen erforderlich sind. Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Gleitkufen an den Containerboden angeformt und im Bodenrandbereich als durchlaufende Kufen ausgebildet, dagegen im Bereich der Bodenmitte wegen der sich dort befindenden Entleerungsöffnung unterbrochen. - Nach einem Vorschlag der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß zumindest eine Containerwand eine Seitenöffnung mit einer Verschlußklappe aufweist und die Verschlußklappe mittels einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung in Schließstellung verriegelbar ist. Diese Seitenöffnung ermöglicht die Seitenentleerung des erfindungsgemäßen Faltcontainers, falls eine Bodenentleerung aus technischen oder räumlichen Gründen nicht möglich sein sollte. Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung ist erfindungsgemäß als federbeaufschlagter Schieberiegel ausgebildet und in einer Führungsausnehmung auf der der Anlenkung der Verschlußklappe gegenüberliegenden Seite angeordnet. Die den Schieberiegel beaufschlagende Feder sorgt dafür, daß der Schieberiegel stets einwandfrei in seiner Verriegelungsstellung gehalten ist, also die Verschlußklappe in Schließstellung stets einwandfrei verriegelt. Im Rahmen der Erfindung können selbstverständlich mehre Schieberiegel für die Verschlußklappe vorgesehen sein. Zum Entriegeln der Verschlußklappe wird der Schieberiegel gleichsam hochgefahren und ist zweckmäßigerweise in Entriegelungsstellung aus der Führungsausnehmung ausrastbar, läßt sich also in ausgerasteter Stellung arretieren und zur Verriegelung der Verschlußklappe aus dieser Entriegelungsstellung wieder in die Führungsausnehmung einrasten, um niederzufahren und die Verschlußklappe zu übergreifen. - Nach einer anderen Ausführungsform kann die Verriegelungsvorrichtung auch als Reiber bzw. als mehrere Reiber ausgebildet sein.Further features essential to the invention are listed below. Thus, the emptying opening and the sealing cover are expediently circular, the sealing cover which can be screwed into the emptying opening being secured in the closed position by means of a bayonet catch. The closure lid can have water passage slots which, for. B. are arranged in the edge region of the closure lid and ensure constant drainage of the folding container. Advantageously, the closure lid has a handle on its underside, e.g. B. a rib over a lid diameter as a handle, so that the folding container or its emptying opening can be easily opened from below when the container is full. - Furthermore, the invention provides that the container floor has on its underside at predetermined intervals parallel skids, so that the folding container according to the invention easily reach under a forklift and in other moves. This makes the use of pallet-compatible pallets, which are necessary for the manipulation of container-like disposable packaging, superfluous. The sliding runners are expediently formed on the container floor and are designed as continuous runners in the area of the floor edge, on the other hand interrupted in the area of the floor center due to the emptying opening located there. - According to a proposal of the invention it is provided that at least one container wall has a side opening with a closure flap and the closure flap can be locked in the closed position by means of a locking device. This side opening enables the folding container according to the invention to be emptied from the side if it is not possible to empty the floor for technical or spatial reasons. According to the invention, the locking device is designed as a spring-loaded slide bolt and is arranged in a guide recess on the side opposite the articulation of the closure flap. The spring acting on the sliding bolt ensures that the sliding bolt is always held correctly in its locking position, that is to say the locking flap is always properly locked in the closed position. Within the scope of the invention, of course, several slide bars can be provided for the closure flap. To unlock the closure flap, the slide bolt is raised, as it were, and can be expediently disengaged from the guide recess in the unlocked position, so it can be locked in the disengaged position and latched back into the guide recess to lock the closure flap out of this unlocked position, in order to lower it and the To reach over the flap. - According to another embodiment, the locking device can also be designed as a friction device or as a plurality of friction devices.

Nach einem weiteren Vorschlag der Erfindung mit selbständiger Bedeutung ist vorgesehen, daß die Anlenkung der Containerwände an den Rahmen und der Verschlußklappe im Bereich der Seitenöffnung an der betreffenden Containerwand mittels T-förmiger Scharnierbolzen erfolgt, die in T-förmige Scharnierausnehmungen eingreifen, z. B. einrastbar sind. Die T-förmigen Scharnierbolzen können sich an den Containerwänden bzw. an der Verschlußklappe oder auch umgekehrt an dem Rahmen und der Containerwand im Bereich der Seitenöffnung befinden. Das gleiche gilt in umgekehrter Weise für die T-förmigen Scharnierausnehmungen.According to a further proposal of the invention with independent importance, it is provided that the articulation of the container walls to the frame and the closure flap in the region of the side opening on the container wall in question takes place by means of T-shaped hinge bolts which engage in T-shaped hinge recesses, e.g. B. are clickable. The T-shaped hinge bolts can be located on the container walls or on the closure flap or vice versa on the frame and the container wall in the area of the side opening. The same applies in reverse for the T-shaped hinge recesses.
