Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pallet container for storing and transporting liquid filling goods according to the features in the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such a pallet container with wooden pallet is such. B. from U.S. Design Patent No. Of. 297,619 known.
  • Another very similar pallet container on a steel tube / sheet pallet is further disclosed in the prior publication EP-A-0498984.
  • EP-A-0498984 With these pallet containers, the upper edge of the lattice jacket is closed by a circumferential angle profile or a U-profile that is open at the bottom.
  • two metal struts running closely next to the filler opening are provided, which are fastened on the outside to the angle or U profile.
  • a cover plate covering the upper floor of the inner container from above is provided, which has a corresponding recess in the middle for accessing the upper filling opening, and which is firmly connected on the circumferential side to the edge of the support jacket, the upper end edge of the support jacket being formed by the uppermost horizontally circumferential lattice bar or tubular bar, which extends from the cover plate by a piece in the horizontal or radial direction covered from above and covered with a flange edge pointing essentially at right angles downwards by a piece in the vertical or axial direction, with on each side of the supporting jacket or / and in its corner regions at least one vertically extending lattice bar or tubular bar upwards elongated, inserted through a corresponding hole in the cover plate and fixed from above against the cover plate.
  • the upper edge of the support sheath is also better protected against punctual loads during transport, which may result in lateral bending.
  • the overall stability of the lightweight pallet container is improved.
  • the cover plate rests everywhere on the top horizontally encircling lattice rod or tubular rod of the support jacket and on the underside of the cover plate in the flange edge arranged there is a corresponding recess or circumferential groove for receiving the top lattice rod, the upper edge of the support jacket is secure fixed in the plane of the cover plate and evasion or yielding in the horizontal or radial direction is prevented.
  • a particular stability of the pallet container as a whole is achieved according to the invention in that on each side of the supporting jacket and / or in its corner regions at least one vertically extending lattice bar or tubular bar of the supporting jacket is extended by a piece above the top horizontally rotating lattice bar, by a the corresponding hole in the cover plate and inserted from above against the cover plate.
  • the vertically extending upward and through the holes in the top plate inserted bars with a screw thread and the cover plate is firmly and easily detachably screwed and fastened to the extended bars by means of screw nuts or flange nuts screwed from above.
  • this enables simple and inexpensive assembly of the individual parts of a pallet container; on the other hand, the cover plate of such a pallet container is easy to dismantle again, e.g. when replacing or renewing a thin-walled plastic inner container for multiple use of the other parts of the pallet.
  • Such a pallet container is easy to disassemble for final recycling and disassembly into its individual components for complete material recycling, since all connections are designed to be easily detachable.
  • At least some of the vertical bars extended from above and inserted through the cover plate from above are likewise designed to be extended by a correspondingly longer length, inserted through corresponding holes in the floor pallet and fastened from below against the floor pallet , are preferably also screwed.
  • This special variant advantageously achieves secure fixing of the individual pallet parts to one another, secure encapsulation of the inner container and high stability of the overall construction with only comparatively few screw connections.
  • cover plate offers a secure support with even load distribution for a stacked second (and third) pallet container.
  • cover plate in the closed version also serves as cover and UV protection for the inner container when the pallet container is stored outside.
  • the reference number 10 denotes a pallet container which has a thin-walled blow-molded inner container 12 made of thermoplastic material and a support jacket 14 which tightly surrounds the inner container 12 and is made of galvanized wire mesh bars or tubular bars.
  • the support jacket 14 is firmly connected at the bottom to a forklift-compatible floor pallet 16.
  • the floor pallet 16 is preferably made from recycled plastic recycled material. In contrast to metal pipe or conventional wooden pallets, such a floor pallet made of plastic is on the one hand more moisture and acid resistant and on the other hand also free from corrosion problems.
  • the support jacket 14 consists of a single sheet of intersecting bars, which is angled by 90 ° in the four corner areas and whose connecting line (e.g. several welding points) lies vertically above the bottom-side removal valve 22 .
  • the connection of the wire basket support jacket is realized in the present case by a clinch plate 30 covering at least two vertical bars on both sides of the connecting line, which clinch sheet is additionally bent or clinched on its outer edges and inside the sheet with punched-out tongues around the covered vertical bars.
  • the inner container 12 has an upper filling opening 20 (FIG. 4) which is sunk in the top 18 and a removal valve 22 on the bottom for removing the liquid filling material.
  • the uppermost horizontally circumferential lattice bar 24, which forms the upper terminating edge of the supporting jacket 10, is a little in the horizontal or radial direction from the upper cover plate 26 and from a flange edge 34 of the cover plate 26 which points essentially at right angles downwards a piece covered in the vertical or axial direction from the outside.
  • a corresponding recess or circumferential groove 36 is provided on the underside of the cover plate 26 resting on the uppermost, horizontally rotating lattice bar 24 in the outside flange edge 34 for receiving the uppermost lattice bar 24.
  • an important feature of the invention is on each side of the support jacket 14 and / or in its respective Corner areas at least one vertically extending lattice bar 40 extended upward by about 20 mm above the top horizontally rotating lattice bar 24, inserted through a corresponding hole 38 in the cover plate 26 or the flange 34 and fastened against the cover plate 26 from above.
  • button sleeves could be attached with a force fit or disc-shaped abutments welded on.
  • the upwardly extended lattice bars 40 which are pushed through bores 38 or openings are provided with a screw thread at the top and the cover plate 26 is by means of screw nuts 42 screwed on from above firmly screwed to the support jacket.
  • the screw nuts 42 are preferably designed as flat flange nuts at the top and arranged in a corresponding recess / depression 32, sunk in the surface of the cover plate 26.
  • FIG. 3 shows a top view of the cover plate 26.
  • a corresponding rectangular recess 28 is provided in the center for accessing the upper filling opening of the inner container arranged underneath.
  • two opposing inwardly facing fork-shaped connecting pieces 44 are formed which are in positive connection with two corresponding connecting pieces 46 formed laterally next to the filling opening 20 of the inner container 12 on its upper floor 18.
  • two parallel support rods 48 are provided on the side next to the filling opening 20 of the inner container 12 or laterally next to the recess 28, on which the cover plate 26 can be supported in the central area.
  • the support rods 48 are themselves attached to the uppermost horizontally rotating lattice bar 24 on the outside.
  • a corresponding groove 50 is expediently formed on the underside of the cover plate 26, in which the support rod 48 is inserted sunk.
  • the stiffening ribs 58 formed on the underside of the flange edge 34 in the groove 36 running there are also only indicated by dashed lines.
  • three (to five) bores 38 are preferably formed along the flange edge on each outer edge of the cover plate for pushing through the extended lattice bars with a corresponding recess / depression 32 for the screwed-on flange nut.
  • rectangular stacking cams 52 or projections which protrude upward from the surface of the top plate 26 and are used for the aligned stacking of similar pallet containers, with each stacked pallet container in the underside or bottom surface of the base pallet 16 correspondingly arranged and designed recesses or recesses for engaging the stacking cams 52 are provided.
  • the stacking cams advantageously prevent e.g. Walking of stacked, in particular empty pallet containers, stacked on top of one another on the loading surface of a truck or on the forks of a forklift truck, due to the vibrations of the transporters.
  • FIG. 4 shows an enlarged section of the pallet container 10 in partial section.
  • the transversely extending support rod here designed as a support tube 56, on which the cover plate 26 rests.
  • an upstanding stacking cam 52 is arranged on its surface.
  • the cover plate 26 lies with its flange edge 34 all around on the uppermost horizontally extending lattice bar 24 and is screwed firmly but easily detachably to the elongated vertical lattice bar 40 which is pushed through.
  • FIG. 5 shows a partial section along the line VV in FIG. 3 through the edge region or flange edge 34 of the cover plate 26 in the region of a bore 38 for pushing through an elongated vertical lattice bar 40.
  • the thickness of the cover plate 26 is generally approximately 10 mm and in the region of the flange edge 34 approximately 30 mm.
  • the flange 34 is solid, while the flange 34 in the sections between the bores 38 is hollow from below and there - as can be seen in FIG. 7 according to section VII-VII - a variety of materials to save material stiffening ribs 58 are provided at a uniform distance from one another.
  • FIG. 6 shows a partial section along line VI-VI in FIG. 3 through the flange edge 34.
  • the groove 50 for the support rod 48 or the support tube 56 runs or opens at right angles into the lower groove 36 along the flange edge 34.
  • FIG. 9 shows how the support rod 48 inserted into the groove 50 is shaped on the outside into a hook and placed over the top, horizontally rotating lattice bar 24. After screwing the cover plate 26, the two support rods 48 are immovably fixed.
  • FIG. 8a shows a partial section along line VIII-VIII in FIG. 3 through the outer edge of the inner recess 28 (for accessing the upper fill opening 20). From this, the lateral fixation of the flat iron support rod 48 inserted into the groove 50 becomes clear.
  • the groove 50 is made somewhat wider and a hollow steel support tube 56 is inserted therein as a support rod.
  • the connector 44 is also shown, via which the positive connection to the top of the inner container is made by means of the corresponding connector 46 formed there.
  • Another advantageous lightweight construction of the cover plate according to the invention is characterized in that further openings or recesses 62, 64 are formed in a symmetrical arrangement next to the central opening 28 for the filling opening of the inner container and / or in the corner regions of the cover plate 26 '( Window version). In this way, plastic material can be saved for the production without loss of stability or rigidity of the cover plate and thus the weight of the plate itself can be reduced.
  • the upper cover plate thus represents a stable upper peripheral end part for the lattice frame and serves for an even load distribution.
