The frame and cables are made from material which is resistant to degradation by UV and to gnawing by animals.

Description

The invention relates to a silo or a container below Use of limp wall material, which hanging on the top of a support frame, and outlet aids are provided on the underside and being safety aids to prevent damage through UV light and others the load capacity impairing attacks are provided or a silo or a container with a support frame, which has vertical supports and / or cross members, wherein a soft, flexible cover in the area of its upper end Includes straps attached to the horizontal beams of the Support frame are supported,  It has been known for a long time, with slack Wall material hanging container for storing form bulk goods with a funnel-shaped outlet. The proposal is from AT-PS 234042 (from the years 1962/63) known, down on the silo walls extending risers to be provided with a lower Interact support ring.

In the meantime, the high loads of Wall and strap material demands for UV-resistant Materials brought to light. There are also security chains known. The use of security chains requires however special expenses and offers Difficulties in adapting to operational influences.

Such containers usually use a carrying frame four columns built on a square floor plan, the on the floor or near the floor your connections are interconnected. They have a stable frame at the upper ends. The frame and the supports are possibly secured by reinforcements, for example the supports by striving against buckling. Bars or chains running diagonally through the fields ensure a stable position.  

The container wall material usually consists of high strength plastics with black threads in weft and chain are secured against UV light. It is coming however, also before that other stable materials should be used.

In any case, the top ends of the wall material designed into loops through which the top, as a carrier serve supporting rods. These can be components of the frame or additionally attached to the frame become. It should also be borne in mind that the seams made of suitable, resistant for outdoor use Materials exist.

If not all risks can be adequately checked and can be checked regularly, it is a good idea recognizable and easily monitored additional fuses to attach, because it occasionally happens that the Tear out the belt loops or, above all, without you it looks from below, rodents gnaw the holding elements, which can be expected especially for feed silos.  

In order to prevent dangers, safety chains around the limp containers looped and suitable attached. Ropes have also been used.

Wire ropes and chains are not simply endless around the Loop suspension. You need anchor points to the load homogeneous and also when the Introduce filling material safely into the suspension.

The invention is based on the usual top with container Wall loops or belt loops on one usually square upper frame suspended limp Shell out and suggest outside trending, everyone Straps that meet safety requirements use one hand on a lower frame attack and on the other hand on the upper support elements of the container frame are fixed and when mounting and reenactment pulling through the top areas of the Allow seat belts.

Such an additional safety suspension can do that Damage to the wall material from protruding from ropes Avoid wire ends when filling and emptying and can the respective need through continuous tightening and Attach to be adjusted.  

In particular, the invention can do this in more detail be defined in the lower container area and above the wall areas of which extend upwards Aids are provided which, at least in the attack Wrapping area made of UV-resistant and rodent-resistant belt material and in the lower converging space enclosing area one of external ring-shaped holding ring frame exhibit. You can also use the invention if necessary see that for security purposes on the support frame supported, the lower container area outside continuously provided safety risers are.

In a further embodiment of the invention can be provided be that the safety risers are gnawed Materials and structures exist. You can also do that Assign safety straps to spacer elements.

Essential aspects of the invention consist in the injury-free and safety-related in particular favorable adjustment. For that they can the support aids contain adjustable belt tensioners.

A very good, sensible and easy to add afterwards The solution to be provided sees a continuous security Webbing with a belt tensioner in front. However, there can be many Security needs for existing and / or already to give largely prefabricated containers, where already Safety aids are available, such as chains  or ropes. In such and similar cases, the Develop the invention in such a way that the support Aid only in the areas in which they are Support the support frame, made of UV-resistant belt material exist while others abut the container wall Traction device parts are designed as chains and / or side.

An embodiment of the invention is as follows explained using the drawings.

Show it:

Fig. 1 The oblique view of a container or silo with four supports, upper frame, bracing with chains and safety devices with belt strap tensioner and ring frame;

FIG. 2 shows an oblique view of the upper right corner of the support frame according to FIG. 1 with the representation of the looping of a continuous safety support belt;

Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of a belt tensioner.

The Siio or container 10 , which is primarily intended for feed storage and feed discharge in small portions, has a support frame 11 with four columns 11.1 to 11.4 standing on a square plan, lower floor connections 12.1 to 12.4 and upper support beams 14.1 to 14.4 .

Diagonal stiffening chains 15.1 to 15.8 ensure a stable stand.

The soft-flexible or pliable casing 19 of the silo or container 10 has upper belt loops 21 , some of which - as not shown - can possibly also be torn out. The lower conical container wall part 26 has an annular outlet connector 28 as the outlet aid 27 with appropriate closing and opening device. A ring frame 30 is assigned to the lower conical container wall part 26 . On each of the four sides, 31 safety carrying belts 32.1 to 32.8 act on the ring frame 30 as support aids. They are carried out with their lower stop band parts 33.1 to 33.8 from the inside of the ring frame 30 and struck on an outside pin 34 of the ring frame 30 .

With their upper ends 38 , the support aids 31 - as illustrated more clearly in FIG. 2 - are drawn through from the inside, passed over the upper walls 36.1 to 36.4 of the frame corner 35 and the vertical frame walls 37.1 to 37.4 for the purpose of wrapping and under the frame Corner 35 led with a continuous belt part 38.9 looping around the frame corner 35 . This also prevents lateral displacement. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the safety risers 32.1 to 32.8 are loosely fitted with at least one commercially available belt tensioner 45 per belt strap in the area of the lower, in the slack state or with little filling. Such belt tensioners have - as illustrated in FIG. 3, for example - a support frame 51 with four tensioner pins 52.1 to 52.4 . The support tool ends 31.1 and 31.2 are - as can be seen from Fig. 3 - or in another conventional manner such that one can pull the support tool ends 31.1 and 31.2 further or push back in a loosened state by a suitable belt tension to achieve.

For the invention is in a manner not shown To use webbing material, which due to the Material properties and weaving structure training is resistant to UV light and rodents offers sufficient resistance so that the straps with Don't tear security.

It is important for the invention that the support aids 31 are attached to the frame and the ring frame 30 in such a way that they can be pulled through for re-adjustment or can be changed in their relative position, which is only discontinuous in chains with hooks the structure size is possible at certain intervals. The infinitely variable adjustment option is important because the slack material of the casing 19 changes slightly under load due to permanent expansions, but the safety risers should fit in every filling condition in such a way that thermal expansion and level expansion have no adverse effect on the load-bearing capacity. The security requirements can thus be easily met and adapted to changing experiences and regulations.
