Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Lagerbehälter für Flüssigkeiten, insbesondere brennbare Flüssigkeiten wie Heizöl, Altöl, Schmieröl und Dieselkraftstoff, mit einem mit der Flüssigkeit befüllbaren Innenbehälter aus Kunststoff und einem den Innenbehälter unter Bildung eines Zwischenraumes aufnehmenden Auffangbehälter aus Kunststoff zur Lecksicherung des Innenbehälters.The invention relates to a storage container for liquids, in particular combustible liquids such as fuel oil, waste oil, lubricating oil and diesel fuel, with an inner container made of plastic which can be filled with the liquid and a plastic collecting container for securing the inner container which forms the inner container to form an intermediate space.

Lagerbehälter dieser Art, die aus der EP 0 901 972 B1, gemäss dem obergegrriff des Anspruchs 1, bekannt sind, werden vorwiegend zur Bevorratung von Heizöl in Gebäuden verwendet. Aufgrund der Ausstattung des Lagerbehälters mit einem Auffangbehälter zur Lecksicherung des Innenbehälters kann auf eine Abmauerung des Raumes zur Unterbringung des Lagerbehälters bzw. eine gesonderte Auffangwanne verzichtet werden. Bei dem bekannten Lagerbehälter liegt die Oberkante des topfförmigen Auffangbehälters in Höhe des Einfüllstutzens, des Entnahmestutzens sowie des Belüftungsstutzens des Innenbehälters, und der Auffangbehälter ist an seiner Oberkante zum gasdichten Verschluß des Zwischenraumes zwischen Auffangbehälter und Innenbehälter mit diesem verbunden. Zur Erhöhung der Formsteifigkeit bzw. der statischen Belastbarkeit sind die Seitenwände des Innenbehälters und des Auffangbehälters über die gesamte Behälterhöhe mit nutartigen Umfangseinzügen versehen.Storage containers of this type, which are known from EP 0 901 972 B1, according to the preamble of claim 1, are mainly used for storing fuel oil in buildings. Due to the equipment of the storage container with a collecting container for securing the inner container can be dispensed with a lining of the room to accommodate the storage container or a separate collection tray. In the known storage container, the upper edge of the pot-shaped collecting container in height of the filler neck, the sampling nozzle and the ventilation socket of the inner container, and the collecting container is connected at its upper edge to the gas-tight closure of the space between the collecting container and inner container with this. To increase the stiffness or the static load capacity, the side walls of the inner container and the collecting container are provided over the entire container height with groove-like peripheral draws.

Die Konstruktion dieses bekannten Lagerbehälters ist verhältnismäßig aufwendig, und die Herstellung des Behälters ist entsprechend teuer. Ein weiterer Nachteil des Lagerbehälters besteht darin, daß sich der Transport zum jeweiligen Aufstellungsort umständlich gestaltet.The construction of this known storage container is relatively expensive, and the production of the container is correspondingly expensive. Another disadvantage of the storage container is that the transport to the site is cumbersome.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Lagerbehälter für Flüssigkeiten zu entwickeln, der sich durch eine einfache Konstruktion, eine kostengünstige Herstellung und eine gute Transportfähigkeit auszeichnet.The invention has for its object to develop a storage container for liquids, which is characterized by a simple construction, cost-effective production and good transportability.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen Lagerbehälter für Flüssigkeiten mit den Merkmalen des Schutzanspruchs 1.This object is achieved by a storage container for liquids with the features of the protection claim. 1

An den oberen Öffnungsrand 23 des Auffangbehälters 4 ist eine umlaufende Griffleiste 24 zur Handhabung des Lagerbehälters 1 und zum Befestigen einer Schrumpffolie zum Schutz der an die Befüll- und Entnahmestutzen 25, 26 des Lagerbehälters 1 angeschlossenen Befüll- und Entnahmearmaturen beim Transport des Behälters angeformt.At the upper opening edge 23 of the collecting container 4, a circumferential handle bar 24 for handling the storage container 1 and for securing a shrink film to protect the filling and removal nozzles 25, 26 of the storage container 1 connected filling and removal fittings during transport of the container is formed.

Bei der Herstellung des Auffangbehälters 4 wird von dem einteilig blasgeformten Behälter der obere Behälterteil abgeschnitten. Der Innenbehälter 2 weist an den Stirnwänden 27, 28 Griffmulden 29 auf, und an den Stirnwänden 20, 21 des Auffangbehälters 4 sind Fallgriffe 30 angebracht.In the production of the collecting container 4, the upper container part is cut off from the one-piece blow-molded container. The inner container 2 has on the end walls 27, 28 recessed grips 29, and on the end walls 20, 21 of the collecting container 4 case handles 30 are attached.

Der in den Figuren 6 und 7 dargestellte Lagerbehälter 1 ist mit einer Transport- und Lagerpalette 31 gemäß Figur 8 ausgerüstet, die als Stahlrohrpalette ausgebildet ist. Der Lagerbehälter 1 ist mit der Versteifungsbandage 17 an Stützen 32 an den beiden Längsseiten der Transportpalette 31 festgeschraubt.The storage container 1 shown in Figures 6 and 7 is equipped with a transport and storage pallet 31 of Figure 8, which is designed as a steel tube pallet. The storage container 1 is bolted to the stiffening bandage 17 on supports 32 on the two longitudinal sides of the transport pallet 31.

Der Lagerbehälter 1 nach Fig. 9 ist mit einem Transport- und Lagergerüst 33 ausgestattet, das von einer Palette 34 mit vier vertikalen Eckpfosten 35 gebildet wird, die sich bis in den Bereich der Einsetzöffnung 10 des Auffangbehälters 4 erstrecken und im oberen Ende 36 jeweils eine Öffnung 37 zum Einhaken eines Geschirrhakens eines Krans aufweisen. Die oberen Enden 36 der vier Eckpfosten 35 der Palette 34 sind durch einen vierteiligen Versteifungsrahmen 38 miteinander verbunden, der jeweils an einem Steg 39 über der Einhaköffnung 37 der vier Eckpfosten 35 mit einer Schraube 40 befestigt ist. Die Einhaköffnungen 37 der vier Eckpfosten 35 des Transport- und Lagergerüstes 33 weisen eine Dreieckform auf, die sich nach oben erweitert, so daß ein Kranhaken ohne Behinderung durch die Befestigungsschraube 40 des Versteifungsrahmens 38 in die Einhaköffnung 37 eingehängt werden kann.The storage container 1 according to FIG. 9 is equipped with a transport and storage frame 33, which is formed by a pallet 34 with four vertical corner posts 35 which extend into the region of the insertion opening 10 of the collecting container 4 and in the upper end 36 one each Having opening 37 for hooking a dish hook of a crane.
