4 Claims, 9 Drawing Figures PAIENIEU M 3,7855% SHEEI 1 (IF 3 PAIENIE JAN 151914 SHEE! 2 BF 3 I PAIENTEUJAN 1 SIHH DISPENSING SHIPPING CONTAINER WITH FUNNEL-TYPE PALLET BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to shipping containers, and more particularly to a dispensing-type shipping container which is especially adapted for use in connection with flowable materials.
The use of bin-type containers to permit the transporting and subsequent dispensing of flowable materials in bulk form is well-known. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,083,879, which issued Apr. 2, I963, to C. B. Coleman, discloses a dispensing bin suitable for handling by means of fork-lift trucks and by means of which bulk quantities of flowable materials can be conveniently handled. However, the Coleman device is a large, cumbersome structure, it must be returned as a unit for refilling, and it cannot be dismantled for easy return. When being returned for refilling, the Coleman dispensing bins consume a considerable amount of space, thus rendering their use relatively expensive.
The drawbacks of the Coleman device with regard to return for refilling are overcome by the structure disclosed in us. Pat. No 2,762,551, which issued Sept. 11, I956, to C. D. Fallert. The Fallert device consists of a multi-wall paper board container which is secured to a flat wooden pallet and adapted to transport flowable materials in bulk form. The Faller't device, how ever, does not include dispensing means for facilitating the controlled flow of material from the container; instead, the materials must be removed from the top of the container, as by scooping or otherwise transferring them'to their point of use.
Additionally, the prior art has also taught the use of a bag-like inner lining used in conjunction with a paperboard shipping container which is attached to a wooden pallet. Specifically, U.S. Pat. No. 3,433,400, which issued Mar. 18, I969 to M. R. Hawkins discloses such a container. However, the nature of the container construction is such that incomplete emptying of the contents can occur unless the bag is itself withdrawn from the dispensing slot, as shown in FIG. 3 of the patent. That particular operation requires the presence of some operator and thus contributes to the cost of this approach.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome the above-described difficulties in connection with the prior art structures.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Briefly stated, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a dispensing shipping container is provided for transporting and dispensing flowable materials in bulk quantities. The container includes a base in the form of a pallet which includes downwardly and inwardly sloping walls which terminate in a dispensing opening. The pallet includes a plurality of legs which space the dispensing opening from the plane of the lowermost portion of the legs. The container includes means for closing the dispensing opening to prevent the inadvertent loss of material therefrom and also includes a plurality of sidewalls which extend upwardly from the pallet to define a substantially tubular structure, which together with the pallet defines the container volume. Cover means are provided for closing the top of the container.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to the drawings and particularly to FIG. 1 thereof, there is shown the dispensing shipping container of the present invention. The container comprises a base 10 in the form of a pallet having depending legs 11 a number of sidewalls l2 and a top cover portion 13. The container of the present invention is particularly adapted to the transportation and subsequent dispensing of flowable materials, which can be either liquids or particulate solids. In the case of the latter, the materials which can advantageously be transported in the container of the present invention range from finely divided powders and granular materials to discrete particles of relatively substantial size. For example, among other products, the container of the present invention is suitable for use in connection with abrasive grains, powdered and particulate chemicals, various liquids, and particulate matter of substantial size such as, for example, nuts, and the like.
The container of the present invention is shown in cross section and in assembled form in FIG. 4. As
therein shown, sidewalls 12 of the container rest on base and can include an outer wall 18 and an inner wall 19 each of which can be formed from, for example, corrugated paperboard. The number of plys of sidewall required for any particular application would be dependent upon the nature of the material carried by the container and its density, which would be reflected in a deflecting force which tends to bow the side walls outwardly unless they are reinforced or of multiple wall construction. Sidewalls 12 can, if desired, be supported by a ledge 16 which extends around the periphery of base 10 and in addition be restrained from lateral movement by means of upstanding lip 17 formed around the outer periphery thereof. As shown in FIG. 4, base 10 includes a closure device 20 at dispensing opening to prevent inadvertent loss of material therethrough. Additionally, a plastic liner in the form of a bag 21 can be provided in the event liquid materials are to be carried in the container of the present invention, or in the event dry products which are hygroscopic are shipped, in order to prevent excessive absorption of moisture thereby during transit.
As is shown in phantom in FIG. 5, a sheet 29a of plastic material of substantial thickness, say, several mils can be provided in overlying relationship to dispensing opening 15 to thereby prevent undesired flow of the material therethrough. If desired, the sheet can be of a thermoformed nature with a protruding projection (not shown) which corresponds with and extends into dispensing opening 15. Sheet 29a can be employed whether or not a cover is provided and in the latter case can take the place of the cover, if desired.
FIG. 9 shows an alternative embodiment for outer wall 18 and which obviates the need of a separate cover 13 shown in FIG. 8. In this embodiment, the several panels 35 each includes a hinged flap member 36 which is hingedly secured to its respective panel 35 by score line 37 and which is adapted to be inwardly folded in overlapping relationship in a well-known manner to close the top of the container.
In use, the container of this invention can be filled by any convenient means and shipped to its destination either stacked one upon another or in single layers, as desired. Although not absolutely necessary, cover 13 and sidewalls 12 can be secured to base 10 by means of straps or the like (not shown) in a manner well-known to those skilled in the art. Upon arrival at its destination, the container can be positioned above a hopper or other vessel into which its contents are to be discharged. If the container includes a closure 20 such as that illustrated in FIG. 4 hereof, the closure can be opened when desired to permit the material to flow through dispensing opening 15. Similarly, if the closure is in the form of a sheet of plastic or other material 29a such as shown in phantom in FIG. 5, flow of the material through the dispensing opening can be initiated by inserting a knife or other sharp object through dispensing opening 15 to puncture the film or sheet and thereby permit the material to flow from the container. Because of the downward and inward slope of panels 14 of base 10, complete emptying of the container is assured. The angle of inclination of the several panels 14 of base 10 can be determined experimentally for any type of material which may be shipped.
While particular embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made and it is intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications that are within the scope of this invention.
