Description
21180~9 - -8-CB-10.738 -1-Genaral ~lectric Comp~ny of Schenectady, New York, United States of America ltlo: C O N T A I N E R
The present invention relates to a container for storing high-viscosity fluids, the container comprising an outlet aperture near its lower side.
It has so far been common practice to store such high-viscosity fluids, for example, silicone paste, in containers having a capacity of approximately 200 litres. The fluid is present in such containers in a large synthetic resin pouch sealed at its lower side by a sealing sheet. In addition, a few pouches containing hygroscopic material are usually incorporated in the container to prevent moisture from contacting the said fluid.
, After emptying such a container, the pouch in which the paste is incorporated, and the sealing sheet remain behind as waste material, while comparatively much-material adheres to said waste material and is also discarded. The processing ~ -of such waste material is becoming a problem which is more and more difficult to solve and only at higher and higher costs.
Moreover, a rather large quantity of valuable fluid is lost.
' r~ 21 18 0 S 9 8-CB-10.738 -2- ;~
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a container for storing high-viscosity fluids in : . : , ;.
which the disadvantages inherent in the so far commonly used solutions for storing such fluids can be avoided.
, '. "'~`', ' .',' ~;
According to the invention this can be achieved in that the container is constructed from two equal parts which `
are secured together near the centre of the container `-~
according to a plane extending at least substantially normal to a longitudinal axis of the holder, one end of a diaphragm which can be moved between a first position in which the diaphragm engages at least substantially the inner wall of one `
container part and a second position in which the diaphgragm engages substantially the inner wall of the second container part being clamped between the ends of the container parts secured together. - -When using a container according to the invention, an effective and uniform emptying of the container can be achieved, also when containers are used which have a considerably larger capacity than the above-mentioned so far conventionally used containers of approximately 200 litres, by moving the diaphragm from the above-mentioned first position to the above-mentioned second position, as a result of which the fluid will effectively be forced out of the container. ~ P
Such a container can be used several times, as a result of which the release of waste material will be effectively avoided.
