Description

Technical area

The present invention relates to a device for emptying containers, in particular for forming a tilting and emptying aid for craneable ready-made mortar buckets according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

State of the art

Cranable ready-made mortar buckets (other names include: craneable mortar troughs, ready-made mortar containers and mortar buckets) can be found on almost all construction sites and are in regular use. The buckets are used as transport containers for mortar, concrete and often construction rubble. The mortar buckets are moved by hanging them on the outer two brackets. A problem is the complete emptying of the bucket. Experience has shown that one of the two brackets is usually attached to the lifting device (crane, loading crane, excavator...) and the bucket is lifted at an angle. During this process, complete emptying is not possible due to the unfavorable center of gravity. It is necessary for another person to be in the danger area under the crane to manually tip the bucket, which is usually very heavy. This manual process is dangerous and requires a lot of physical strain.

From the prior art, for example US 77201 A a device for emptying containers is known, which has a first flexible traction means with an end fastening part for reversible arrangement on a container part (here on the underside of the container) and at least a second traction means (fastening part on the handle part of the container) for reversible arrangement on one of the container parts opposite container part (handle part), wherein the two traction means are connected to one another by means of a connecting means and the connecting means is fixedly attached to the second traction means at a defined distance from the fastening part and is further designed to slidably accommodate the first traction means within a receptacle provided on the connecting means . By pulling on the traction device arranged in the receptacle, the container is tilted upwards from its underside and the container is thus emptied. The main disadvantage here is the design of the connecting means, as it is not designed to withstand greater loads. Furthermore, the device is not designed to be reversibly arranged on ready-made mortar buckets that can be craned.

From the publications CH 624 636 A5 , FR 2 770 499 A1 , DE 198 15 192 B4 and US 77 201 A Various containers are already known that can be emptied in different ways using a pull rope, but none of these devices shows an attachment of two traction means that are connected to one another by means of a molded part. The DE 198 15 192 B4 shows a transport bag for storing and transporting bulk goods, which is equipped with a cable pull to which a loop or eyelet is attached to one of the four corners adjacent to the top.

The CH 624 636 A5 relates to a tipping container in which at least two opposing side walls are provided with stacking bars, which enable the top tipping container to be easily lifted off a stack.

Presentation of the invention

The present invention is based on the object of eliminating the aforementioned disadvantages and of creating a device which shifts the center of gravity by looping around the container in such a way that complete emptying is possible without manual intervention.

According to the invention, the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous refinements and further developments of the device according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

Implementation of the invention

How out 1 As can be seen, the device 1 according to the invention comprises at least a first flexible traction means 10 with an end fastener supply part 100 for reversible arrangement on a container edge 20 and at least one second flexible traction means 11 with an end fastening part 110 for reversible arrangement on a container edge 21 opposite the container edge 20.

The two preferably belt or band-like traction means 10, 11 are connected to one another by means of a connecting means 12, the connecting means 12 being fixedly fastened to the second traction means 11 at a defined distance from the fastening part 110 and further being designed to hold the first traction means 10 within one The receptacle 120 provided on the connecting means 12 can be displaceably accommodated in its longitudinal direction L.

According to the invention, the present device is designed in such a way that the connecting means 12 is formed from a molded part 121, which comprises two parallel-aligned and spaced-apart receiving slots 1210.

It is particularly advantageous to design the receiving slots 1210 with sharp edges on one side of the molded part 121.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the distance A between the receiving slots 1210 is less than/equal to the width B of the receiving slots 1210 and/or the height H of the molded part 121 has a maximum of the width B of the receiving slots 1210.

How out 3 As can be seen, the two fastening parts 100, 110 are preferably formed from a substantially U-shaped profile 1000 with two parallel spaced legs 10000, 10001 and at least one connecting part 10003 connecting the two legs 10000, 10001, on one leg 10000 of which there is a connection part parallel to the connecting part -Plane VE and orthogonal to the profile plane (PE) oriented receptacle 10002 is designed for the flexible traction means 10, 11.

The U-shaped profile 1000 can advantageously be formed (i.e. bent) from a rod-like material.

In order to empty commercially available mortar buckets, the attachment point must be moved to the lower area of the bucket. For this purpose, the two fastening parts 100, 110 (here in the form of enclosing hooks designated below) are each guided through the brackets of the container 2 and hung over the edge. With the help of an advantageously provided slotted buckle, the long, comprehensive, preferably belt-like, first traction means 10 is tightened. The bucket can now be attached to the crane hook using appropriate lifting equipment and emptied. The short second traction device 11 is looped through the middle web of the slot buckle and one of the enclosing hooks and sewn into a loop. The long strap is also looped through the middle bar, overlapping the short strap, through the slot buckle and through one of the wrapping hooks.

The device according to the invention can be used in all processes that require (complete) emptying of the containers 2.
