Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container as a flexible IBC with an outer container having outer side walls, in which several, an inner lining, side by side forming inner containers are arranged.
  • IBCs are large packaging materials according to DIN 55 461 from one body and the corresponding operating equipment, Safety, protection and handling devices consist.
  • the body is the actual container and is made of foil, tissue, paper or one other flexible material or combinations thereof manufactured.
  • IBCs are primarily made from heavy polypropylene ribbon fabrics with or without coating. As a rule, a cubic shape becomes square or rectangular base, so that loading on pallets in trucks, high-bay warehouses, overseas containers or rail wagons is possible to save space.
  • the inner container is usually made from a film. For strength reasons is primarily a 180 ⁇ thick Material used. Since the arrangement of such containers of strut elements covering the outside walls stabilize the outer container, not possible is bracing elements inside the inner container provided, in the form of the corner areas of the bracing straps bridging the inner container. They are attached by welding.
  • a disadvantage of such containers is that for the inner container a relatively thick film must be used because the shape-stabilizing forces from the inner container need to be included and the welds the foil material weaknesses. This fact as well as the effort the inner container makes for the attachment of the strut elements expensive. This is all the more disadvantageous than that Disposed of the inner container after its use and only that Outer container is reconditioned.
  • a generic container is in GB 1 544 631 A. disclosed.
  • the one shown in Figure 5 of this document Containers are square within a cross section
  • GB 2 207 120 shows a container in which in one circular or oval outer container several inner containers are used, the outer container is open at the bottom.
  • the inner containers have their own gaps Outlet openings, the inlet openings being adjacent Inner containers can be connected to each other. This solution is also complex.
  • EP 0 663 351 shows a container in which the interior is divided by partitions so that separate Chambers are formed, each with its own entry and exit Have outlet openings. Since no inner lining is provided, such containers are not suitable for the Transport of dusty or sensitive goods.
  • the invention has for its object a container to design the genus mentioned above so that the Manufacturing and operating costs of such a container be significantly reduced without this Dimensional stability of the container suffers.
  • the basic idea of the invention is therefore two each of the inner containers by a U-shaped curve Form hose, which is much cheaper as separate inner containers with their own outlet openings should be provided.
  • the invention also opens up the possibility of different To transport bulk goods in a container by they are distributed to the inner containers. hereby there are new uses for the container.
  • the inner cases can be easily Way to be kept aseptic, since inside the inner containers manipulations are no longer necessary.
  • the strut element for example, as a strut wall, -strip and / or -wire can.
  • strut elements also have an effect Bulge out the container by increasing the distance limit the outside walls. In this case the shape-stabilizing effect on the outer container relocated. The cost of the installation is not significant weight because the outer container is reconditioned several times can be.
  • each case two adjacent inner containers on their adjoining Side walls are interconnected.
  • Provided more than two inner containers can be provided Groups of inner containers or even all inner containers be connected in this way.
  • the side walls welded together form a double wall Stabilization against bulging of the outer container in this area. This opens up the possibility for the inner containers a much thinner, preferably only use half the film material.
  • the connection of the side walls can cover the entire surface his. However, it is sufficient if the connection or welding only on the edges of the side walls is carried out, if possible over the entire Height of the side walls.
  • the inner containers should expediently be the same Have base area and shape. This does not rule out im If necessary, different sizes for the inner containers to be used provided they are arranged side by side in the outer container so that they complement the Fill the interior of the outer container.
  • the container 1 shown in Figure 1 has a cube-shaped Outer container 2 with rectangular bottom wall 3 and four likewise rectangular outer side walls 4, 5, 6, 7 on.
  • the opposite outer walls 4, 6 and 5, 7 have identical dimensions, the Outside walls 4, 6 a larger horizontal extent have as the outer side walls 5, 7.
  • Loops 8, 9, 10, 11 attached at the four upper corners of the outer container 2 . Over these loops 8, 9, 10, 11 the container 1 can be handled, i.e. he can with appropriate dishes lifted by means of a crane and be moved. Both the outer container 2 itself as well as the loops 8, 9, 10, 11 consist of a polypropylene ribbon fabric are flexible.
  • a strut wall 12 extends from the same Material from which the outer container 2 is also made.
  • the strut wall 12 goes to the upper edges of the longer outside walls 4, 6 and is over their entire Height connected to the outer side walls 4, 6, for example sewn and / or welded.
  • the strut wall 12 divides the interior of the outer container 2 in two equally large container chambers 13, 14 ends however somewhat above the bottom wall 3.
  • the inner container 15 In the right container chamber 14 is an inner container 15 used, the container chamber 14 practically completely fills out and up over the outer container 2 tall.
  • the inner container 15 thus one to the container chamber 14 adapted shape, so it is cube-shaped educated.
  • the inner container has a bottom 16 with an outlet opening 17 to which there is an outlet nozzle 18 connects.
  • the outlet connector 18 passes through a central Opening 19 in the bottom wall 3 and opens into one outlet port adjoining the opening 19 20.
  • the outlet nozzle 18 on the inner container 15 can each opened and closed as needed. Is filled the inner container 15 via a not shown here Opening at the top.
  • the effect caused by filling the inner containers 15 The tendency to bulge the side walls is shown in the Container 1 through the shape-stabilizing effect the strut wall 12 kept within limits. supports the strut wall 12 is also by the division on two inner containers 15. Overall, only form slight bulges, so that the container 1 can be placed to save space.
  • FIG. 2 shows a container 21, which is also cubic, the - like the container 1 - an outer container 22 with a square bottom wall 23 in this case and four outer side walls 24, 25, 26, 27, which stand vertically from the bottom wall 23.
  • the outer container 22 is not here - as with the container 1 according to Figure 1 - through a strut wall in container chambers divided up.
  • outer container 22 In the outer container 22 are inserted side by side two inner containers 28, 29, which of the outer container 22 enclosed interior almost completely take in. They have two adjacent side walls 30, 31 on which on their vertical edges - that is vertical to the drawing level - with one over the entire Height of the inner containers 28, 29 weld 32 33 are connected. In this way they support each other Side walls 30, 31 mutually when they through the in the Inner containers 28, 29 filled bulk goods loaded on train become. This opens up the possibility for the inner containers 28, 29 a film only 90 .mu.m thick - common 180 ⁇ should be used.
  • the side walls also work 30, 31 shape stabilizing in such a way that bulges of the outside walls 24, 26 in the middle Avoid completely and in the adjacent area Areas occur only to a small extent.
