Definitions
- THIS INVENTION relates to a collapsible container.
- the word "container” should be construed to mean a reusable container of the type having a predetermined or standard size and shape used for the transport of commercial goods or cargo, typically by sea, but also by rail or by road, in accordance with a concept commonly referred to as containerisation.
- a collapsible container which includes a container body comprising a plurality of body members, at least some of which are hingedly connected together by lockable hinge mechanisms so that hinged displacement of the hingedly connected body members allows the container body to be collapsed from an erect state to a collapsed state, and erected from the collapsed state to the erect state, the lockable hinge mechanisms including locking means for locking the container body in its erect state and its collapsed state.
- the body members may include a top, a base opposed to the top, and opposed sides which extend between the top and the base to form an orthogonal or boxed construction when the body is in its erect state and which are collapsed inwardly, so that the top and the base are displaced towards each other, when the body is in its collapsed state.
- the container of the invention will have a body which can relatively easily be changed, or collapsed, from an erect or operative configuration in which it can be used, to a collapsed or inoperative configuration, in which it can, for example, be stored or transported, and vice versa.
- At least one of the lockable hinge mechanisms may be an erect state lockable hinge mechanism which includes a link part and body parts which are pivotally linked to the link part and which is adjustable between an extended state in which the container body is in its erect state and a folded state in which the container body is in its collapsed state, and erect state locking means for locking the erect state lockable hinge mechanism in its extended state thereby locking the container body in its erect state.
- an erect state lockable hinge mechanism which includes a link part and body parts which are pivotally linked to the link part and which is adjustable between an extended state in which the container body is in its erect state and a folded state in which the container body is in its collapsed state, and erect state locking means for locking the erect state lockable hinge mechanism in its extended state thereby locking the container body in its erect state.
- the erect state locking means may include openings in the link parts and the body parts which are in register when the or each said hinge mechanism is in its extended state so that inserting a locking member to extend through the registering openings of the or each said hinge mechanism locks the or each said hinge mechanism in its extended state.
- the locking member may be a locking pin.
- the locking pin may be tapered to facilitate easy insertion and withdrawal of the locking pin from the openings.
- the body members may include side panels and the erect state lockable hinge mechanisms may hingedly connect the side panels to one another.
- the collapsible container may include collapsed state lockable hinge mechanisms which are arranged so that at least two of the said hinge mechanisms are adjacent one another when the container body is in its collapsed state and collapsed state locking means for locking the said pair of hinge mechanisms together thereby locking the container body in its collapsed state.
- the collapsed state locking means may include openings in the pairs of collapsed state lockable hinge mechanisms which are in register when the container body is in its collapsed state so that inserting a locking member to extend through the registering openings locks the said hinge mechanisms together.
- the locking members may be locking pins as hereinbefore described.
- the body members may include side panels, a top and a base and the collapsed state lockable hinge mechanisms may hingedly connect the side panels to the top and to the base.
- the container body, in the collapsed state, in top plan view and in bottom plan view, may resemble the container body in the erect state in top plan view and in bottom plan view. Further, in side view, the container body in the collapsed state may be flatter or slimmer by about 30 - 35% compared with the container body in the erect state, ie the body may have a height in its collapsed state of about 30 - 35% of its height in its erect state.
- the hinge mechanisms will thus be arranged so that appropriate hinged displacement of the hingedly connected body members, when the container body is in its erect state, causes displacement of the top relatively towards the base and appropriate hinged displacement of the hingedly connected body members when the container body is in its collapsed state causes displacement of the top relatively away from the base.
- each side member may include an upper and a lower side panel and the hinge mechanisms may be arranged so that, when the container body is collapsed, the upper and lower side panels are displaced foldingly and inwardly so that the body collapses concertina-fashion with the top being displaced towards the base.
- the body members may include upper and lower side panels, the upper side panels having lower engagement portions and the lower side panels having upper engagement portions, which upper and lower engagement portions are engaged when the container body is in its erect state, and sealing means for providing a seal between the upper and lower engagement portions when the container body is in its erect state to prevent ingress of water into the container.
- Each upper and lower engagement portion may be a profiled portion, the profiled portions being shaped so that, in their engaged state, a generally vertically oriented channel-shaped gap is defined between the profiled portions, the sealing means being provided by a deformable sealing member located sealingly in the gap.
- the profiled portions may be shaped so that the generally vertically oriented channel-shaped gap extends between a pair of generally horizontal channel-shaped gaps extending respectively outwardly from the inside of the container body and inwardly from the outside of the container body.
- each upper and lower engagement portion may be a profiled portion, the profiled portions being shaped so that, in their engaged state, a generally horizontally oriented gap is defined between the profiled portions, the sealing means being provided by a deformable sealing member located sealingly in the gap.
- the lockable hinge mechanisms may include removable hinge pins so that, by removal of the hinge pins, the hingedly connected body members can be disconnected from one another.
- the hinge pins may, for example, be provided with screw threads for screw-threaded engagement with an extraction device having a complementary screw thread for extraction of the screw pins.
- the hinge mechanisms may include bushes in which the hinge pins are received or receivable. Typically, the bushes will be of Vesconite (trade name) or of Nylon (trade name)
- the container may include removable doors.
- the container body may include releasable or disconnectable door hinges by which the or each door is connected or connectable to the container body when it is in its erect configuration.
- the door hinges may include tapered hinge pins.
- the container body may have opposed ends with a pair of doors at each of its ends.
- the container body may include attachment means for attaching a lifting mechanism to the body or for securing two container bodies together.
- the attachment means may include slots opening into cavities in the container body, of the type used with twist locks for lifting or interlocking conventional shipping containers.
- the invention extends, further, to a collapsible container which includes a container body comprising a plurality of body members, at least some of which are hingedly connected together by hinge mechanisms so that hinged displacement of the hingedly connected body members allows the container body to be collapsed from an erect state to a collapsed state, and erected from the collapsed state to the erect state, at least some of the body members being engagement members which are engaged when the container body is in its erect state, and sealing means for providing a seal between the engagement members in their engaged state, when the container body is in its erect state, to prevent ingress of water into the container.
- the engagement members may be upper and lower side panels as hereinbefore described.
- the container body may include lockable hinge mechanisms as hereinbefore described.
- the invention extends to a container which includes a container body comprising a plurality of body parts, at least some of which are connected together by releasable connection means so that, by releasing the releasable connection means, the body parts can be disconnected from one another so that the container body can be disassembled.
- the releasable connection means may include hinge mechanisms, having removable hinge pins.
- the invention extends to a container assemblage, which includes a container body comprising a plurality of body members, at least some of which are hingedly connected together by lockable hinge mechanisms so that hinged displacement of the hingedly connected body members allows the container body to be collapsed from an erect state to a collapsed state, and erected from the collapsed state to the erect state, the lockable hinge mechanisms including locking means for locking the container body in at least one of its erect state and its collapsed state and at least one door which is mountable on the body in its erect state.
- the or each door may be receivable within the container body in its collapsed state.
- the container body in its collapsed state, may define an opening or cavity which is large enough to permit the door or doors to be received within the opening or cavity.
- the container body may be as hereinbefore described.
