Closed container for receiving and transporting Sam melgut, such as paper, glass, textiles and the like

The invention relates to a closed container for

Pick-up and transport of, in particular, reusable or recyclable groupage such as paper, Glass, textiles and the like, which are carried with a vehicle, preferably one with a set-down and pick-up device Vehicle, transportable to the container installation site, there can be removed and filled again and removed.

Containers of the aforementioned type are known. They are, for example, with skip loaders known per se, i.e. with vehicles, who have a pick-up and set-down facility for containers that hold bulk goods, drove to Sainmelort and set them down there and picked up again in the filled state and driven off.

The locations of such S amine 1 he keeps are often far apart, so that the installation of empty containers alone causes considerable transport costs. The closed ones

Containers should have a high capacity and thus have considerable structural dimensions. Transportation of empty Containers for installation sites is therefore uneconomical. In addition, collection is only partially uneconomical Container filled with groupage.

The invention is based on the object of creating a closed container of the aforementioned type which is more cost-effective transport and distribute to the sites leaves.

A closed container is the solution to this problem of the aforementioned type has been created, which is characterized in that it consists of releasably interconnected shells is composed.

The measure according to the invention enables a container to be transported in a dismantled state. Leave the pods transport themselves more space-saving than a completely hollow container, since they are given a shape with particular advantage can that allows an essential to the invention stacking of the shells on the transport vehicle. With a vehicle several containers can thus be transported at the same time. Even locations that are far apart can be used with a vehicle are driven one after the other and a container can be set up at each installation site by it is assembled on the spot from shells. The transport costs for the distribution of the containers to the installation

As a result, locations can be reduced to a previously unattainable minimum.

The individual shells can easily be lifted, set down and joined together, for example, with conventional truck loading cranes. The assembly of the shells to a container is made easier in a manner essential to the invention in that a first shell as its lower part and a second shell as its upper part, which is equipped with insertion openings for the collective goods is trained. Thus, only two shells are required to form a container, namely a lower part and a Put the upper part on top of each other and connect them to each other. Such assembly work can, if a hoist, e.g. a Truck loading crane, is available, can be carried out on site in the shortest possible time with little personnel expenditure.

According to a further development, the container is characterized in that each shell has a trough-shaped half-shell a bottom and sides that are sloping outwards. The trough-shaped half-shells thus form a cross-section hexagonal container as soon as they are placed on top of one another, this shape being particularly advantageous because an optimal degree of filling is achieved. The trough-shaped half-shells mean that the container is centered at half the height divided lengthways, narrowing in cross section from the center downwards. Dumped groupage fills this narrowing lower part of the container optimally

the end. With its sloping side walls, the upper part again accommodates the naturally occurring angle of repose.

The above-described, particularly advantageous trough-shaped Formation of the half-shells also has the significant advantage that all half-shells can be stacked one inside the other due to their shape. Leave the half-shells for the lower part stack on top of each other. The half-shells for the upper part can also be stacked one inside the other and are also a combination conceivable by stacking half-shells for the upper part in half-shells for the lower part and vice versa.

Furthermore, the container is characterized in that the shells lie against one another in the area of their when the container is closed Have edges with each other in mutual releasable engagement connecting elements.

The simplest form of the connecting elements can be the connecting areas through bolts tightening the two shells can be used. However, it is also possible use appropriate coupling, locking or latching elements. A particularly simple type of connection is on both The shell is aligned with eyelets through which a rod is pushed and then secured.

According to another development, the container is characterized in that the edge of the half-shell forming the upper part has an approach that extends over the edge of the half-shell forming the lower part. This measure has the advantage that

the joint between the two shells placed one on top of the other is protected against the ingress of rainwater, for example.

According to an expedient development, the container is also characterized in that it has partition walls that are shown in are designed as pendulum walls in a manner known per se. The container is thus also known as a multi-chamber container usable in the various collective goods, e.g. white glass, stained glass, paper, plastic, textiles and so on can be collected separately from each other.

Furthermore, the container is characterized by the fact that fittings provided for putting down and picking up on the Lower part forming shell are arranged. This has the advantage that forces acting on the container, e.g. lifting forces during transport and handling of the filled container are to be taken up solely by the shell forming the lower part. That The lower part can be reinforced accordingly. The shell forming the upper part, on the other hand, can be of a lighter type, since it does not have to absorb or intercept any forces. The assembly of the container from two half-shells is made easier by the weight savings in the upper part. Furthermore, there is another one for the production of the Container advantageous simplification, in that a known emptying flap on which the upper part forms Shell is hinged, with a closure associated with the emptying flap on the shell forming the lower part.
