Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement for a portable bucket or some other similar container which includes a carrying handle.
  • Previously disclosed is the design of containers intended for various purposes with a triangular peripheral form.
  • Previously disclosed for example, is a container intended for use in kitchens for serving drinks, which comprises a handle extending along one side of the container for its entire height. The advantage of this is that a long pouring pipe is obtained and also a long handle, which can be gripped with two hands if desired.
  • A, 5,062,542 is a triangular peripheral form for sealable containers with a view to being able to stack them together in a limited area.
  • the peripheral form in this case is equilateral, with three sides arranged relative to one another at a relative angle of 60°. If they are placed on a load pallet, for example, the entire surface of the pallet is not covered due to the absence of packaging, at least at the corners of the load pallet.
  • This previously disclosed container lacks a carrying handle.
  • the "Australian Armybucket” is another bucket that exhibits a triangular cross-section with all sides of equal length.
  • the bucket exhibits a carrying pivotal handle but has otherwise the disadvantages of the previously mentioned containers.
  • the principal object of the present invention is thus, in the first instance, to make available an arrangement, which solves the aforementioned problems associated with carrying and stacking the containers in question simply and effectively.
  • a portable bucket which includes a carrying handle, and which bucket exhibits triangular cross-sectional form wherein all sides of the bucket are flat, which is characterized essentially in that the angle between the two shortest sides of the bucket is essentially a right angle, in that the two short sides of the bucket are of identical length viewed around the periphery of the bucket, that the handle is pivotally mounted about pivot bearings situated on the shortest sides of the bucket, about pivot bearings situated on the side of the bucket below the upper peripheral edge of the bucket, in that the handle is supported in such a way that it is capable of being swung down over the upper edge of the bucket on the outside of the longest side of the bucket, and in that the handle is arranged in such a way that the effective carrying point for the bucket is situated in a vertical plane located at a point ca. 1/3 across the width of the bucket between the longest side of the bucket and the right angle closest to the aforementioned longest side of the bucket.
  • the bucket 2 or the container 2 1 exhibits triangular cross-sectional form.
  • the angle X between the two shortest sides 7, 8; 7 1 , 8 1 of the bucket is essentially a right angle.
  • the handle 6, 6 1 is arranged in such a way that the effective carrying point 9 for the bucket 2 or the container 2 1 is situated in a vertical plane 10 located at a point ca. 1/3 across the width B of the bucket 2 or the container between the longest side 11; 11 1 of the bucket 2 or the container and the right angle X closest to the aforementioned longest side 11, 11 1 of the bucket 2 or container 2 1 .
  • the aforementioned positioning of the carrying handle 6 means that the bucket 2, unlike previously disclosed buckets with traditional carrying handles, is much easier to carry because it also provides clearance 14 for the leg 15 of the person 16 who is carrying the bucket 2 situated closest to the bucket.
  • Fig. 1 Dotted lines are used in Fig. 1 to show the carrying of a previously disclosed bucket, although in a lowered position, from which it can be seen how the leg 15 risks striking the bucket 102 at each step.
  • the carrying arm 17 passes vertically downwards from the shoulder 18 to the carrying handle 6, which is not the case for a previously disclosed bucket 102, where the handle 106 is located further out from the body.
  • the handle 6 in this case is pivotally mounted about pivot bearings 12 situated on the shortest sides 7, 8 of the bucket in the aforementioned vertical plane 10 either on the side of the bucket 2, inside the bucket and below or above the upper peripheral edge 13 of the bucket.
  • the handle 6 in this case can be supported in such a way that it is capable of being swung down over the upper edge 13 of the bucket on the outside 2A of the bucket.
  • the shape of the handle 6 is adapted to the peripheral form of the bucket 2 along a section of it and, for example as shown in Figs. 6 and 11A, so as to be swung outside the bucket 2 or to be swung in such a way as to come to rest on a lid 19 between the pivot bearings 12.
  • Fig. 9 shows an example of a handle 6, in which this exhibits double-articulated 12, 20 vertical legs 21.
  • the buckets 2 shown here have their two short sides 7, 8 arranged with identical lengths L viewed around the periphery of the bucket, i.e. each of the angles between the sides is ca. 45°.
  • the sides 7, 8, 11 of the bucket 2 are essentially flat and are preferably inclined slightly outwards from the bottom 26 of the bucket.
  • the aforementioned bucket 2, which may be referred to in general terms as a vessel, is stackable both when empty and with a lid.
  • Fig. 4 shows how the entire surface 27 of a load pallet 28 is filled effectively without spaces thanks to the fact that the sides 7, 8, 11 of the buckets 2 extend along the peripheral edge 29 of the pallet and to another side 7, 8, 11 of an adjacent bucket 2.
  • a corresponding amount of space can also be saved if they can be hung along a wall.
  • a suitable material is a plastic or metallic material, and it is also possible to use a fibrous material such as cardboard.
  • Fig. 16 shows the difference between carrying a conventional bucket and a bucket in accordance with the invention, in which the carrying handle is displaced laterally towards the person who is carrying the bucket.
  • the effective position of the carrying handle is such that it is situated at a distance of ca. 33-40% from one of its sides, i.e. the side facing towards the person who is carrying the bucket.
  • Fig. 18 shows a bucket in which the side 11 of the bucket 2 intended to face towards the person who is carrying the bucket 2 is illustrated together with the internal flat surface 11A suitable for a roller to work against. It also shows how the corners 50 of the bucket 2 are executed with large radii, among other things to facilitate pouring the contents from the bucket 2.
  • the triangular form increases the consumption of material by ca. 20% compared with round buckets, although on the other hand material wastage of ca. 20% is obtained when stamping round lids and bottoms.
  • the triangular form of the bucket thus does not represent any real increase in material consumption.
  • FIGs. 17 and 17A show differences between the load capacity of previous round buckets 2 1 and triangular buckets 2 with a carrying handle in accordance with the invention.
  • a round bucket 2 1 with a capacity of 20 litres can be loaded with 11 per layer in two layers on a standard load pallet 28, whereas a triangular bucket 2 with a capacity of 20 litres can be loaded with 12 per layer in three layers.
  • This provides respective load capacities of 440 and 720 litres per pallet; i.e. it is now possible to transport 63% more paint or other contents with a triangular bucket 2 compared with a round bucket 2 1 of the same volume.
  • FIGs. 20 and 1 illustrate the modular concept of the system in clear text.
