Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cuboid stackable container, which is provided below the corner areas of its base plate with foot pieces and above its lid with receiving pieces aligned with the foot pieces.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to create simpler stackable containers without these holding frame structures, which essentially meet the same requirements as the known containers.
  • the container according to the invention is characterized by a particularly simple construction.
  • the foot pieces are formed by simply folding extensions that are integrally connected to the base plate. To stabilize these foot pieces are welded to these U- or box profile pieces, which allow the insertion of forklift tines from opposite sides for the purpose of transporting the containers.
  • the angled extensions are each only so long that on the sides that adjoin the sides provided with the profile pieces, the forklift tines can reach under the container bottom between the extensions forming the foot pieces.
  • the upper edge region of the upper container part is stiffened by a U-shaped edge profile, with the corner regions of which the angle pieces forming the receiving pieces are welded.
  • the task is solved in that the base plate to form a U-shaped base profile. Extending beyond its edges is provided lobe-like extensions which are separated from each other by rectangular cutouts, so that their lengths correspond to the lengths of the associated edges of the base plate, and which are bent downwards and inwards at right angles to lines parallel to the edges, that in the Corner areas, the end edges of the correspondingly cut-out extensions are welded to one another, that a stiffening, circumferential, U-shaped cross-sectional edge profile is welded to the upper edge areas of the side walls, and that this outstanding angle pieces, which form the receiving pieces, are welded to the corner areas of this edge profile.
  • the U-shaped edge profile stiffening the upper edge regions of the side walls is formed by tab-like extensions which are extended beyond the edges of the cover plate and which are separated from one another by rectangular cutouts, so that their lengths correspond to the respectively associated lengths of the edges of the Correspond to the cover plate and which are bent upwards and inwards at right angles to lines parallel to the edges, and that the end edges of the correspondingly cut-out extensions are welded to one another in the corner regions.
  • the upper U-shaped edge profile is formed in one piece with the cover plate.
  • both legs of the circumferential U-shaped sheet metal or profile piece are welded to the edge region of the side walls and the upper leg forms the contact surface for the container lid. So that the top of the upper leg of the sheet metal or profile piece does not hinder the stacking, the elbows are welded above the lid with additional mounting plates for the foot pieces in this embodiment.
  • the strength of the container is increased in a further embodiment of the invention in that the side walls in the shape of a cylindrical shell are domed on the outside.
  • the legs of the edge profile enclosing the upper edge region are then provided with corresponding arcuate cutouts in the corresponding embodiment.
  • the stackable container 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 consists of a base plate 2 made of sheet metal, which is welded to the side walls 3, 4, 5, 6.
  • the bottom plate 2 is provided in one piece with extensions in its corner areas on its left and right side shown in FIG. 1, which are bent inwards about the bending lines 4 ', 5', 6 'to form the foot piece 7.
  • the extension is slightly acute-angled around the bending line 4 ′ and slightly obtuse-angled around the bending line 5 ′ in order to give the foot piece 7 a slightly beveled outside 8.
  • the short upstanding leg 9 formed by the bend around the bending line 6 ' is welded in the manner shown to the U-profile piece 10, the legs of which are welded to the base plate 2 of the container.
  • the foot piece 7 is higher than the profile pieces 10.
  • the end edges of the foot pieces 8 formed by the bends 4 to 6 run slightly wedge-shaped inwards.
  • the plate 11 is welded to these edges in order to close the foot pieces 8 and also to provide them on the end face with a slightly wedge-shaped inward sloping end plate.
  • the distance between the U-profile pieces 10 is selected so that a forklift can engage with its prongs for transporting the containers into them.
  • the spacing of the foot pieces 7 from one another is so large that between them a forklift can reach under the base plate 2 with its tines.
  • the upper container part 16 On the upper end edges of the side walls 3 to 6, the upper container part 16 is placed, which consists of the cover plate 30 with the circumferential U-shaped edge profile 12 formed by the bends of the extensions 31 to 34 (Fig. 7, 8). Angle pieces 14, which form the receiving pieces, are welded to the corner areas of the edge profile 12. The foot pieces 8 are stacked on the upper legs 15 (FIG. 3) of the edge profile 12 and are held laterally by the angle profiles 14.
  • the cover plate 30 is provided in a star shape with wide channel-shaped stiffening beads 17, the shape of which can be seen in FIG. 9.
  • the beads 17 each run on the center lines and on the diagonals.
  • the cover plate 30 is welded to the end edges of the side walls in the usual way.
  • the cover plate 30 is provided with a central bore 35 (FIG. 7) into which a piece of pipe 36 (FIG. 2) is welded, which forms the container opening. This opening can be closed in the usual way by a cover 19 which can be pivoted about the joint 18 (FIG. 3).
  • the cover plate with the upward-facing U-shaped edge profile forms a sump for liquids poured next to the filler opening and thus increases safety.
  • the corner areas of the peripheral edge profile 12 are additionally provided with recesses 20 ', which are used to hang crane hooks.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 While the container shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is used for the storage and transport of liquid waste materials, the container according to FIGS. 4 to 6 is intended for holding pasty waste materials.
  • the upper edge profile 20 is with the two legs pointing inwards with the upper Edge area of the container walls welded in such a way that they still protrude a short distance from the edge profile 20.
  • the upper circumferential legs of the edge profile 20 serve as a support for the cover 21.
  • the cover 21 is provided with abutments 22 for the tensioning bracket of tension locks 23.
  • the inwardly facing legs of the edge profile are provided with arcuate cutouts corresponding to the side walls which are curved in the shape of a cylindrical shell.
  • the upper container part 16 is formed from the blank shown in FIG. 7 in that the extensions 31 to 34 of the cover plate 30 are angled inwards at right angles about the bending lines 38, 39, so that they form the U-shaped edge profile shown in FIG. 8.
  • the inner bending lines 38 form the edges of the cover plate 30.
  • the corner cutouts are selected such that the lateral end edges of the angled extensions join together and can be welded together to form the circumferential U-shaped edge profile.
  • the end edges of the wider center pieces of the extensions are provided with semicircular recesses 40 which, when the extensions are welded, form the openings for attaching the crane hooks.
  • the base part consists of the base plate 41 with the U-shaped base profile connected in one piece with it.
  • 16 shows the flat blank, in which the base plate 41 is provided with the extensions 42 to 45.
  • the extensions 42 to 45 are bent around the bending lines 47, 48 to form the U-shaped base frame shown in FIG. 11, and the abutting lateral end edges of the extensions are welded together.
  • the still lying blank is, as can be seen from FIG. 10, provided in the middle parts of the extensions with rectangular punched openings 49, which are used to insert the forklift tines.
  • the base plate 41 is welded to the legs of U-shaped angled profile pieces 52.
  • Flat rectangular profiles 53 are welded to the corner areas of the U-shaped base frame 46 as foot pieces.
