- the tube part of the ascending tube is arranged eccentrically to the base of the ascending tube, which enables the placement of the tube part of the ascending tube in one of the chambers for transport even better.
- a container comprises a body that is intended for underground installation.
- Transport mounts are arranged in the body on at least one side thereof. In that case it is possible to transport the container lying on the side.

- containers lying on their sides may be superimposed for transport.
- the superimposed containers support on the transport mounts of one another.
- the transport mounts on one side of the container may be made concave and those on the other side of the container may be made convex.
- the container in transport the container is placed with the concave transport mounts downwardly and the convex transport mounts upwardly and on top of a first container there is placed a second container such that the concave transport mounts of the second container fit against the convex transport mounts of the container below.

- the body 1 is made of plastic, such as polyethylene PE or polypropylene PP or some other suitable plastic material.
- the container further comprises an ascending tube 2 arranged in the body 1.
- the ascending tube 2 includes a tube part 3, which extends above the ground when the container is in use.
- the ascending tube 2 further includes a base 4 that is integral with the tube part 3.
- the ascending tube 2 is configured to be detachable from the body 1, whereby the ascending tube may be arranged partly inside the body 1 during the transport of the container in a manner shown in Figure 2.
- the base 4 of the ascending tube 2 comprises a flange 5, and when the container is in use the ascending tube 2 is attached to the body 1, to a connecting end 6 provided in the body 1.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a container having a body that is configured for underground installation, and an ascending tube.
- The invention further relates to a container having a body that is configured for underground installation.
- There are known containers, such as depositing tanks, which have a body and an ascending tube. It is known to configure the container body such that the container is intended for installation in the ground. Thus, typically only a part of the ascending tube will remain visible on the ground. It is relatively cumbersome to transport these containers. Because of the ascending tube it is practically impossible to stack the containers one on top of the other. There are also known containers comprising a hole for the ascending tube, and during transport the body and the tube are kept apart. An ascending tube that is separate from the body may be transported independently of the body, whereby it may get damaged or disappear during transport. Solutions have been proposed, in which the tube is connected outside the container body for transport, but this requires extra arrangements and it is not a completely reliable solution either in view of keeping the ascending tube intact and safe in transport. A solution is also known, in which the ascending tube is of telescopic type. In that case its length is adjustable and for transport the tube parts are fitted one inside the other. The telescopic structure is very complex, however, and therefore very difficult and expensive to manufacture. It also requires carefulness to make sure that it remains intact in transport. For the duration of transport it may be necessary to place the container on a pallet so that it can be handled with a forklift truck and/or a hand pallet truck. It is possible to avoid using a pallet in a solution, in which the container bottom comprises transport mounts. The transport mounts of the container raise the rest of the container body up such that the fork of a forklift truck or a hand pallet truck may be fitted under the container. Installation of a container like this, however, poses a problem that on preparing the final installation base for the container a recess should be provided for the mounts in order for the bottom of the container to be completely supported against the ground. This is relatively difficult, however, and unsupported areas easily remain underneath the container with the mounts.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a novel container.
- The container of the invention is characterized by what is stated in the independent claims.
- A container comprises a body that is intended for underground installation and an ascending tube. The ascending tube is detachable from the body. The ascending tube comprises a tube part and a base, which base is larger in the outer dimensions than the tube part seen in the axial direction of the tube part. For transport it is possible to stack containers one on top of the other. As the base of the ascending tube is larger than the tube part of the ascending tube, it is possible to produce a relatively large hole in the container body, whereby the interior of the container may be utilized extremely well for transport of parts or accessories relating to the container. This solution facilitates transport and reduces a risk that the parts and accessories would be damaged in transport. The container may be divided into chambers with partition walls. The chambers are serviced through the ascending tube, and advantageously, the ascending tube is so large and arranged such that two or more chambers, preferably all chambers, may be serviced through one ascending tube. As the base of the ascending tube is larger than the tube part it is possible to make the hole in the body so large that the tube part of the ascending tube or some other part or accessory relating to the container may be placed through the hole in one of the chambers for transport, i.e. in such a manner that the partition walls do not hinder the placement of the ascending tube or another part or accessory inside the container body for transport. Advantageously, the tube part of the ascending tube is arranged eccentrically to the base of the ascending tube, which enables the placement of the tube part of the ascending tube in one of the chambers for transport even better.
- Further, a container comprises a body that is intended for underground installation. Transport mounts are arranged in the body on at least one side thereof. In that case it is possible to transport the container lying on the side. Hence, the container may be moved during transport with a forklift or a hand pallet truck, i.e. the fork of the forklift truck or the hand pallet truck fits under the container lying on the side. When the container is installed, the foundation on which the container is to be mounted can be packed and levelled to be even. The bottom of the container is flat, i.e. no air will remain beneath the container and the container will not stand on its legs alone. In accordance with one embodiment, the transport mounts are arranged on at least two opposing sides of the container. Thus, containers lying on their sides may be superimposed for transport. The superimposed containers support on the transport mounts of one another. Thus, the transport mounts on one side of the container may be made concave and those on the other side of the container may be made convex. In that case in transport the container is placed with the concave transport mounts downwardly and the convex transport mounts upwardly and on top of a first container there is placed a second container such that the concave transport mounts of the second container fit against the convex transport mounts of the container below. Thus the containers will be precisely aligned and firmly in place during transport.
- The invention will be described in greater detail in the attached drawings, wherein
- Figure 1 shows schematically a depositing tank seen obliquely from above,
- Figure 2 shows the tank of Figure 1 with an ascending tube in transport position,
- Figure 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional side view of the depositing tank,
- Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional side view of the tank of Figure 3 with the ascending tube in transport position,
- Figure 5 shows a top view of the container of Figure 3, and
- Figure 6 shows a top view of the depositing tank in the situation of Figure 4.
- For the sake of clarity, in the figures some embodiments of the invention are shown in a simplified form. Like reference numerals refer to like parts in the figures.
- Figure 1 shows a depositing tank. The depositing tank comprises a
body 1, which is configured for allowing the container to be buried in the ground. Preferably thebody 1 is made of plastic, such as polyethylene PE or polypropylene PP or some other suitable plastic material. - The container further comprises an
ascending tube 2 arranged in thebody 1. Theascending tube 2 includes atube part 3, which extends above the ground when the container is in use. Theascending tube 2 further includes abase 4 that is integral with thetube part 3. - The
ascending tube 2 is configured to be detachable from thebody 1, whereby the ascending tube may be arranged partly inside thebody 1 during the transport of the container in a manner shown in Figure 2. - The
base 4 of theascending tube 2 comprises aflange 5, and when the container is in use theascending tube 2 is attached to thebody 1, to a connectingend 6 provided in thebody 1. Theflange 5 is thus set over the connectingend 6. The connectingend 6 is a vertical collar that surrounds the hole in the upper part of thebody 1. A seal is arranged between theflange 5 and the connectingend 6 such that thebody 1 and the ascendingtube 2 will be tightly fitted and the joint concerned will not leak. Theflange 5 thus constitutes a sleeve that is arranged over the connectingend 6. The ascendingtube 2 and thebody 1 may also be interconnected with screws or bolts, whereby thebase 4 may be designed to conform to the outer surface of the hole in thebody 1 and a suitable seal is arranged between thebase 4 and thebody 1. Between thetube part 3 and thebase 4 of the ascendingtube 2 there is further provided a stiffening rib 7. The stiffening rib 7 reinforces the structure of the ascendingtube 2. - Figure 3 also illustrates how the ascending
tube 2 is arranged in connection with thebody 1. - Thus, the attaching figures show a depositing tank, in which there is a
partition wall 8 or a plurality ofpartition walls 8 inside thecontainer body 1. Thepartition walls 8 divide the interior of the container into chambers. As it appears from Figure 5, thetube part 3 of the ascendingtube 2 is arranged such that all chambers inside the container may be serviced through the ascendingtube 3. - Figures 4 and 6, in turn, illustrate how the eccentric placement of the
tube part 3 of the ascending tube in thebase 4 enables the tube part of the ascending tube being arranged in a chamber of the container during transport without thepartition walls 8 preventing the tube part from being placed inside the container. In Figure 6,partition walls 8 that remain invisible behind the ascendingtube 2 and thecontainer body 1 are indicated by broken lines. - If the hole in the
container body 1 is arranged to be sufficiently large, and correspondingly, thebase 4 of the ascendingtube 2 is sufficiently large and thetube part 3 is sufficiently small, thetube part 3 may also be arranged in a centralized manner in relation to thebase 4, but nevertheless the tube part could be placed inside a container chamber. When thetube part 3 is arranged eccentrically to thebase 4, a hole to be made in thebody 1 need not be large as a whole, and yet it is possible to place the tube part inside the chamber. In addition, eccentricity makes it possible that during transport thebase 4 is supported throughout to the rims of the hole in thecontainer 1. - The
container 1 is still further provided withlugs 9, by means of which the ascendingtube 2 may be secured firmly into place for transport. Said lugs may also be utilized for holding the ascendingtube 2 in place, when the container is in normal use. It is possible to connect to the lugs 9 a strap, a rope or a binding line by which the ascendingtube 2 is held in place. - There may be one, two or
more lugs 9 for securing the ascendingtube 2. - The
container body 1 is further provided with arecess 10. Therecess 10 may be arranged at the end of thebody 1 and it is intended for accommodating a distribution well during transport. Namely, subsequent to the depositing tank there is typically arranged a separate distribution well. The distribution well to be transported to the installation site together with the depositing tank can be transported attached to therecess 10. The container further comprises adowel pin 11. The dowel pin is designed in size and shape to correspond to a pipe that is inserted in an inlet of the distribution well. Thus, the distribution well inlet may be arranged in thedowel pin 11. Thecontainer body 1 further compriseslugs 12. Thus, the distribution well may be firmly attached to thebody 1 by means of thedowel pin 11 and thelugs 12 for transport. Thanks to thedowel pin 11, twolugs 12, to which the strap, the rope or the connecting line are to be connected, will typically suffice for securing the distribution well. - Instead of the
dowel pin 11, it is possible to use another aligning element, such as a rib, a notch or another suitable structural element. In that case the aligning element is not necessarily supported to the inlet of the distribution well, but it may be supported to some other shape in the distribution well. - On at least one side, i.e. flank, of the
container body 1 there are arranged transport mounts 13. In a normal use position the container is naturally in a position shown in Figure 1, i.e. the ascendingtube 2 points upwardly. When the transport mounts 13 have been arranged on the side of thebody 1, the container is transported to the installation site on its side, i.e. the transport mounts pointing downwardly. - The transport mounts 13 may be arranged on the first side and additionally to a second side opposite to the first side. This allows a plurality of containers being superimposed during transport.
- The transport mounts 13 may be provided such that on the first side of the container the transport mounts are concave. It is thus advantageous to transport the container with these concave mounts downwardly. The transport mounts 13 on the other side of the container are convex. Then, the convex transport mounts 13 point upwardly during transport. It will be relatively easy to place another container with concave downwardly pointing transport mounts on top of the convex transport mounts 13. Consequently, the concave transport mounts 13 of the upper container will fit smoothly and firmly against the convex transport mounts 13 of the lower container.
- In some cases the features set forth in this application may be used as such, irrespective of other features. On the other hand, features set forth in this application may be combined, where necessary, to provide various combinations.
- The drawings and the relating description are only intended to illustrate the inventive idea. The details of the invention may vary within the scope of the claims.
- So, the container to which the presented features are applied, may be, for instance, a depositing tank as indicated in the attached drawings. Also, the container may be another container intended for installation in the ground, such as a sewage tank or any other liquid tank, a well, such as a distribution well, or a corresponding container or well. Further, if the container comprises partition walls, the container may be a depositing tank or a small-scale purifying plant or another corresponding container having two or more chambers inside the body. In addition to or instead of the ascending tube or a section thereof it is possible to transport inside the body also other parts or accessories relating to the container completely or such that part of them is located inside the body. These parts or accessories may include inlet and outlet connections, inlet and outlet pipes, filter bed pipes, joints and branches, etc. During transport the ascending tube may also be mounted in its use position, and then the ascending tube will not be at all inside the body during transport. If the
container body 1 is sufficiently large, it is possible to make the hole for the ascendingtube base 4 in thebody 1 so large that relatively large pieces may be transported in the interior of thebody 1. The capacity of thebody 1 may vary, for instance, between 500 and 5000 litres. If the capacity of thebody 1 is sufficient, it is possible to transport a distribution well inside it, for instance.
