Description

According to a first aspect the present disclosure relates to a roll container, having a receiving space for receiving products, said roll container comprising:

a support element for bounding said receiving space at a bottom side thereof, wheels for moving said roll container on a surface, two side elements, extending upwards from said support element, bounding said receiving space at opposite sides thereof, wherein, in use, products may be loaded in and unloaded from said receiving space via a loading side of said roll container.

According to a second aspect the present disclosure relates to a cover for a roll container according to the first aspect of the present disclosure.

According to a third aspect the present disclosure relates to a use of the cover according to the second aspect of the present disclosure for covering, in a first position of said cover, said loading side of said container and for uncovering, in a second position of said cover, said loading side.

Roll containers are frequently used for storing and/or transporting goods such as groceries packed in boxes, placed on trays or wrapped in foil. Known roll containers comprise side panels that are hingedly connected to each other for allowing a user to open the roll container for providing access to any goods present inside said roll container. These known roll containers are, however, relatively heavy and thereby limit the amount of weight that can be transported.

In an alternative embodiment, known roll containers are provided with only two or three side panels. After providing goods inside said roll container according to this alternative embodiment the roll container is wrapped in foil to avoid any goods to fall of the roll container. A drawback of these known roll containers according to the alternative embodiment is an increase of waste material due to use of the foil.

Moreover, wrapping the roll container in foil and removing the foil is rather labour intensive.

An object of the present invention is to provide a solution to the aforementioned drawbacks.

The aforementioned drawbacks are overcome by providing said roll container with a cover, wherein said cover is releasably attached to said side elements in a first position of said cover for covering said loading side of said container, said cover comprising:

attachment elements for releasably attaching said cover to said side elements;

a cover element, wherein said cover element comprises a flexible mesh structure and a rectangular perimeter structure, wherein said rectangular perimeter structure is connected to said mesh structure and forms a rectangular perimeter of said mesh structure, longitudinal rigid elements for maintaining said cover element, in use, in an upright direction, and wherein said cover element in a second position of said cover for uncovering said loading side may be folded or rolled up in a direction transversal to said upright direction.

The roll container according the first aspect of the present disclosure comprises a cover that is releasably attached to side element of the roll container. A releasable attachment allows for re-using the cover. Re-use of the cover allows to realise a relative small amount of waste as compared to the known foil solution. Moreover, by providing longitudinal rigid elements there is no longer a need to wrap the roll container. Since the longitudinal rigid elements are arranged for maintaining said cover element, during use, in said upright direction, the cover can be applied to a side of said receiving space for covering a loading side, whereas the known foil needs to be wrapped around the roll container for providing structural stability to the foil for covering the loading side. Since there is no need to wrap the cover around the roll container, removing the cover requires relative little time.

By providing said longitudinal rigid elements in combination with said flexible mesh structure and said perimeter structure a relative lightweight cover may be realised for covering said loading side and thereby increasing the amount of weight that can be transported by a single roll container.

A further advantage of the roll container according to the present disclosure is that said mesh structure allows air to pass the cover element. Allowing air to pass the cover element is beneficial to reduce any drag that wind may have on the cover element. A relative small drag is beneficial for avoiding empty roll containers to be propelled by the wind.

A yet further advantage is that a user may visually observe any products that are received in said receiving space. Allowing a user to visually observe any products present in said receiving space is beneficial for allowing a user to sort out filled containers.

Yet another advantage is that a user may scan any products that are received in said receiving space using an optical scanning device. This is beneficial for determining a characteristic of goods that may be present in said receiving space in a relative fast manner without the need to remove any foil.

Within the context of the present disclosure a mesh structure may be a barrier comprising a flexible sheet material provided with a plurality of openings for providing an open structure allowing air to pass said mesh structure via said plurality of openings. In an embodiment according to the present disclosure, a mesh structure is a barrier made of connected strands of flexible material.

Preferably, said loading side of said roll container extends between said side elements.

It is beneficial if said rectangular perimeter structure is provided with receiving arrangements for removably receiving said longitudinal rigid elements. This is beneficial for folding said cover element in a longitudinal and a transversal direction when transporting said cover element, when said longitudinal rigid elements are removed from said receiving arrangements.

Preferably, said longitudinal rigid elements comprise wood, preferably are rods made from wood. Wood is an attractive material to realise a relative low carbon foot print of the cover. Moreover, wood is relatively durable and may be recycled to realise a relative low impact on the environment.

In an embodiment of the roll container according to the present disclosure first attachment elements of said attachment elements for attaching said cover to a first side element of said side elements are provided with hook and loop fasteners, wherein said hook and loop fasteners, at least in said first position, are wrapped around a part of said first side element of said side elements such that the hook an loop fasteners are attachable to itself for said attaching. Hook and loop fasteners are attractive for attaching and removing the cover in a relative short time period.
