KGaA Actual Inventor(s): Udo Schutz Address for Service and Correspondence: PHILLIPS ORMONDE FITZPATRICK Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys 367 Collins Street Melbourne 3000 AUSTRALIA Invention Title: STORAGE CONTAINER FOR LIQUIDS AND METHOD TO PRODUCE THE OUTER CONTAINER OF THE STORAGE CONTAINER Our Ref: 705291 POF Code: 20412/455950 The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to applicant(s): -1- 600eq Storage container for liquids and method to produce the outer container of the storage container The invention concerns a storage container for liquids, in particular flammable liquids like heating oil, used oil, lubricating oil and Diesel fuel, with a parallelepiped or cubic shaped plastic inner container that can be filled with the liquid, that has four lateral walls, a bottom end and a top end with a filler socket, a discharge socket, a ventilation socket as well as a socket to insert a fuel gauge, further with an outer container accommodating the inner container to leak-proof the inner container, as well as with a pallet-like base for the setting down and transporting of the storage container by means of fork lifts or similar transporting means.
The storage containers of this type for heating oil described in DE 100 65 077 C1 have an outer container to leak-proof the inner container, the outer container being a sheet metal jacket and two end sheet metals welded together. The manufacture of such an outer container, made up by welding sheet metals together, is relatively expensive.
The object of the invention is to further develop the construction of the outer container of the storage container of the generic type with regard to a costeffective manufacture of the storage container.
According to the invention this objective is achieved by a storage container having the features of patent claim 1 as well as by the method to manufacture the outer container according to patent claim 7.
The sub-claims contain advantageous and useful further developments of the invention.
The plastic construction of the outer container of the storage container makes a simple and cost-effective manufacture of the outer container, fitted with a removable plastic end, feasible.
2 The invention is explained in the following based on the figures of the drawing, illustrating the following in: Fig.1 a perspective illustration of a storage container, Fig.2 an exploded illustration of the storage container according to Fig.1, Fig.3 a detailed, enlarged longitudinal sectioned illustration of the top end of the inner container as well as of the top edge region and of the lid of the outer container as well as of the bottom end region of the inner container and of the outer container with the base of the storage container, and Fig.4 a detailed, enlarged longitudinal sectioned illustration of the top end region of the blow-moulded body of the outer container.
Main components of the storage container 1 for liquids, in particular flammable liquids like heating oil, used oil, lubricating oil and Diesel fuel, are a parallelepiped shaped, blow-moulded plastic inner container 2, that has four lateral walls 3-6, a bottom end 7 and an arched top end 8 with a filler socket 9, a discharge socket 10, a ventilation socket 11 as well as a socket 12 to insert a fuel gauge, further a blow-moulded plastic outer container 13 accommodating the inner container 2, the outer container being formed by four lateral walls 14-17, a bottom 18 and a removable plastic arched cover 19 with holes 20 corresponding to the filler socket 9, the discharge socket 10, the ventilation socket 11 as well as the socket 12 for the fuel gauge of the inner container 2 and serving the purpose of leak-proofing the inner container, an outer grate jacket 21 from vertical and horizontal metal grate rods 22, 23 as well as a pallet-like metal base 24 for the setting down and transporting of the storage container 1 by means of fork lifts or similar transporting means.
The base 24 of the storage container 1 has a sheet metal bottom 25, on which the inner container 2 and the outer container 13 stand. The sheet metal bottom of the base 24, together with the bottom frame 26 of the grate jacket 21 are fastened on the corner and central feet 27, 28, that are mounted on a foot-frame 29.
The rectangular cover 19 of the outer container 13, that is arched correspondingly to the arched top end 8 of the inner container 2, has a downward drawn edge 31 enclosing the top opening edge 30 of the outer container, the edge having hookshaped clamping elements 33 moulded in the corner areas 32 for the purpose of fastening the cover 19 on the edge 30 of the opening of the outer container 13, that has corresponding holders 35 in the corner areas 34. The cover 19 of the outer container 13 has a continuous, flat edge strip 36 for the positioning of the foot-frame 29 of the base 24 of a stacked storage container 1 and in the central section 37 of the cover 19 a flat collecting depression 38 is formed for the liquid leaked drop-by-drop from the connecting threads and fittings.
The cover 19 is secured on the outer container 13 by two locking straps 39 made of a flat bar, abutting against the cover, the locking straps screwed to two opposite situated frame parts 41, 42 of the top frame 40 of the grate jacket 21.
The cover 19 is additionally secured by locking caps 43 screwed onto the sockets 9-12 of the inner container 2.
On the cover 19 of the outer container 13 along the locking straps 39 gliding edges 44 are formed to assist the gliding of the grasping arms of a transport device when lifting a stacked storage container 1.
In the front lateral wall 3 of the inner container 2 a vertical groove 45 is moulded, that merges into an arch 46 in the bottom end 7 of the inner container. The vertical groove 45 and the arch 46 of the inner container 2 form between the inner container and the outer container 13 a channel 47 to accommodate a leakage sensor 48 or a hose to evacuate the leaked liquid. For the retrofitting of the storage container 1 with a leakage sensor 48 in the edge strip 36 of the cover 19 of the outer container 13 above the channel 47 there is a small centring 49 to make a hole 50 to push through the leakage sensor 48.or an evacuating hose.
The body 51 of the outer container is blow-moulded from an extruded plastic tube with the four lateral walls 14-17, the bottom end 18 and the dome-shaped top end 52 with the upset, flat, horizontal or slightly outward sloping edge strip 36, while the edge strip 36 merges via the frame-like edge 31 with four edge sections 53 that are parallel to the lateral walls 14-17 of the body 51 of the outer container and four inwardly arched narrow connecting sections 54 into four upper, inward offset edge sections 55 of the four lateral walls 14-17 of the body 13 of the outer container and the frame-like edge 31 of the top end 52 protrudes slightly outward by a dimension a past the upper edge sections 55 of the four lateral walls 14-17 of the body 51 of the outer container (Fig.4). After the cooling of the blowmoulded body 51 of the outer container the top end 52 forming the cover 19 of the outer container 13 is separated by cutting out the connecting sections 54 from the closed body 51 of the outer container.
