Definitions

  • a disadvantage is, however, experienced in the stacking of bulk bags in storage.
  • the particulate materials tend to flow within the bags causing unstable stacks and there is a likelihood of bags becoming so displaced or even toppling that engagement of the lifting straps on the bags by fork lift trucks is rendered most difficult.
  • a bulk bag stacking frame comprising a carrier frame section, legs for supporting the carrier frame and which are adapted to stand upon the carrier frame of a similar bulk bag stacking frame, anchor means on the carrier frame to suspend a filled bulk bag therefrom so that with the carrier frame supported by the legs the bag is located within the stacking frame, and stabilizer formations on the stacking frame for engagement with the tines of a fork lift to facilitate lifting of the stacking frame.
  • the legs include struts extending therebetween and the stabilizer formations comprise spaced channel members extending between struts on the opposite sides of the stacking frame.
  • the carrier frame and legs are separate and have separate stabilizer formations thereon for engagement with the tines of a fork lift whereby the stacking frame as a whole can be raised or the carrier frame and the bag suspended therefrom can be raised separately from the legs.
  • the stabilizer formations on the carrier frame also comprise spaced channel members which extend between opposite sides of the carrier frame and on the upper side thereof.
  • the carrier frame includes upstanding guide means adapted to facilitate stacking of one stacking frame upon another.
  • the carrier frame section may be circular or triangular or other polygonal shape but the preferred structure is in the nature of a box-frame.
  • the carrier frame section is rectangular or square and legs are located at the corners thereof.
  • the frame may be constructed principally from lengths of angle section with the lower frame zone being so constructed as to permit the nesting of frames one on top of another.
  • the guide means may comprise spaced upstanding rods or plates, preferably at the corners of a square upper frame section, the guides extending from zones on the carrier frame section which permit neat location of a lower frame zone therearound.
  • Such guide means may usefully take the form of rods bent to inverted V-shape. This provides a good strong guide structure and the outer arm of the inverted V acts as a guide, so providing a quick, clean nesting location of one frame upon another without the necessity accurately to align the frames before lowering one upon the other.
  • the bag support means on the frame comprises spaced hooks to engage the hanger straps on the bag.
  • the arrangement is preferably one in which a bag suspended within the frame hangs from its straps with its base slightly raised from the floor.
  • the bag support means incorporates spaced bars about which the hanger straps may be laced before being anchored to a hook. In this way a sufficient length of the hanger strap may be used to suspend the bag at the required elevation.
  • spaced bar and hook bag support means are also located at the corners of the upper frame section.
  • a bulk bag stacking means comprises a rigid frame designated generally by the reference numeral 1.
  • Such frame 1 incorporates a carrier frame section 2 and leg members 4.
  • the leg members have struts 3 a and 3 b extending therebetween at the lower zone of the frame 1.
  • the carrier frame section 2 rests freely upon the legs 4 and the legs are accordingly also provided with strengthening ties 5.
  • the carrier frame a and opposite struts 3b have stabilizer formations in the form of spaced lip channel members 20 and 21 secured to the upper surface of carrier frame section 2 and similar lip channel members 22 and 23 secured to the lower struts 3 b.
  • a bulk storage bag 6 ordinarily for a particulate material and having hangar straps 7 secured to four corners of the bag, is mounted within a frame 1 by anchoring the hanger straps 7 to bag support hooks 10 provided at each of the four corners of the upper frame section 2 .
  • the carrier frame section 2 may be lifted off its legs 4 and placed upon the upper end of the filled bag 6 so that the hanger straps 7 of the bag can be laced over and under strap supporting bars 8 and 9, the strap then being secured by placing an end loop 11 thereof over the free end ioa of the hook 10.
  • the carrier frame section 2 is then lowered onto legs 4 so that the bag 6 is suspended within the frame 1 with its base raised from the floor and the whole frame 1 together with the bag 6 can then be raised by locating the tines 13 in the channel sections 22 and 23.
  • the raised frame 1 and bag 6 may then be stacked upon a similar frame and suspended bag arrangement so that the struts 3a of the upper frame 1 straddle angle sections 2a of the carrier frame section 2 of the lower frame 1 and rest upon ledge 2 b thereof.
  • FIG 2 there is illustrated three frames with their suspended bags stacked one upon another.
  • the upper carrier frame sections 2 are provided with corner guides 14 in the form of bars bent to inverted "V" shape. These guides are effective properly to locate a frame which is being lowered onto another frame but which is turned slightly either clockwise or anti-clockwise relative to the frame below it.
  • the guides 14 automatically align the upper frame 1 with the lower frame 1 by causing it to turn on engagement of the struts 3 a with the guides 14 ..
  • the stacking frame 1 of the present invention is made up of four substantially flat frame sections which may be transported and stored in dismantled form and assembled only when the frame is to be used for bulk bag storage.
  • the stacking frame comprises the separate carrier frame assembly 2 as one frame section.
  • Two further frame sections are provided by leg pairs 4 and the struts 3 a secured to the lower ends of each leg pair as well as the tie means 5a which are welded to legs and struts.
  • the fourth frame section is comprised of the struts 3 b upon which the channels 22 and 23 are mounted. To assemble the frame 1 the fourth frame section is bolted to the spaced apart leg pair frame sections and tie means 5b are bolted in place.
