Definitions
- This invention relates to a column stabiliser and its use in making stable columns of stacked objects of alternative sizes such as cans.
- GB 2 175 878 discloses a prior art stabiliser, corresponding to the preamble of appended claim 1.
- a column stabilising grid for stabilising a plurality of stacks of objects, the grid having obverse and reverse faces, the obverse face having a plurality of first locating means each dimensioned to locate in use the base of the first object and to resist lateral movement thereof, and a plurality of second locating means each dimensioned to locate in use the base of a second, smaller alternative object and to resist lateral movement thereof, wherein each second locating means is encompassed by a first locating means, and the reverse face having a plurality of stop means positioned to abut in use the top of an object to resist lateral movement thereof, and characterised in that at least some of the second locating means are located eccentrically within the respective first locating means.
- At least some of the second locating means are located eccentrically towards the periphery of the grid.
- first and second locating means comprise walls extending from the obverse face.
- Each first locating means may comprise a substantially circular wall, and may consist of a series of discontinuous wall segments.
- each second locating means may comprise a substantially circular wall, and may consist of a series of discontinuous wall segments.
- the first locating means are contiguous, and a perimeter wall may bound the first locating means.
- the column stabilising grid may further comprise smaller and smaller third, fourth and so on locating means for smaller and smaller objects wherein each of the smaller locating means is encompassed by the larger locating means.
- the grid comprises seven first locating means arranged in hexagonal form with one central locating means and six surrounding locating means.
- the grid may further comprise one or more support elements extending between a second locating means and the first locating means which encompasses it and/or another of the second locating means.
- a first object located in a first locating means rests on the second locating means and the support elements, and a second object located in a second locating means, rests on the obverse face of the grid.
- the stop means on the reverse face are aligned with the first locating means on the obverse face, and at least one further stop means on the reverse face which is aligned with at least one second locating means on the obverse face.
- the stop means comprise walls depending from the reverse face.
- the invention also provides a column comprising a plurality of stacks of objects, wherein a column stabilising grid as described is located between adjacent layers of objects in the stacks.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view from above of a column stabilising grid 1 in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention.
- the grid 1 has a substantially hexagonal perimeter wall 2 within which are located seven contiguous locating cells 3.
- the cells 3 are positioned in a hexagonal packing arrangement with a central cell 3a surrounded by six outer cells 3b.
- the locating cells may be arranged in many other ways and there may be fewer or greater than seven. Examples of suitable arrangements include three cells arranged as a triangle or four arranged as a square when viewed in plan.
- the grid 1 could be formed with a continuous floor within the perimeter wall 2, in this embodiment the floor 4 is provided with a number of circular and substantially triangular cutouts 5a, 5b to save weight and materials.
- Each locating cell 3 is defined by a primary locating means 6 which in this case is a substantially circular upstanding wall.
- the primary locating wall 6 is discontinuous to save weight and materials and assist in manufacture.
- the outer cells 3b each have a primary locating means 6 made up of a major arcuate segment 6a, and two minor arcuate segments 6b, 6c as shown.
- the major arcuate segment 6a merges into the perimeter wall 2.
- the central cell 3a is defined by six minor arcuate wall segments 6d.
- a secondary locating means 7 is provided within each cell 3.
- this is a continuous circular wall concentric with the primary locating means 6.
- this takes the form of a continuous circular wall eccentrically positioned within a respective primary locating means 6, such that it merges into the primary locating wall segment 6a and the perimeter wall 2.
- the secondary locating means 7 of the outer cells 3b are formed instead by a portion of primary locating means 6 extending over less than 180° and an additional arcuate wall segment 7a extending over,greater than 180° and having a leg 7b at each end adjoining the primary locating means 6 as shown.
- This alternative configuration is employed for manufacturing purposes and it will be appreciated that the primary and secondary locating means 6, 7 can be configured in a variety of different ways.
- radial support ribs 8 join the second locating means 7 of each outer cell 3b to the second locating means 7 of the central cell 3a, and to the primary locating wall segments 6b and 6c.
- the reverse face of the column stabilising grid 1 is generally similar for both embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, having locating cells 9 defined by a primary locating means 10 depending from the floor 4 in alignment with the primary locating means 6 on the upper surface of the grid 1.
- the primary locating means 10 are substantially circular, discontinuous walls.
- At least one locating cell 9 preferably also includes a secondary locating means 11. In the embodiment of Figures 4 this is a continuous circular wall concentric with the primary locating means 10 defining the central cell 9a.
- a secondary locating wall 11 could be provided in one or more of the outer cells 9b. In that case, the secondary locating means would be eccentric, in alignment with the respective secondary locating means on the upper side of the grid 1.
- the primary locating means 6 on the upper surface of the grid 1 are dimensioned to accommodate a desired first object 12, such as a 5 litre container of paint, with a relatively close fit but with some play allowed to facilitate placement of the container 12 within the cell 3.
- a desired first object 12 such as a 5 litre container of paint
- the primary locating means 6 resists any significant lateral movement of the bottom of the container 12.
- the secondary locating means 7 is dimensioned to accommodate an alternative second, smaller object 13 such as a 2.5 litre paint container, again with a relatively close fit but with some play allowed to facilitate placement of the container 13.
- an alternative second, smaller object 13 such as a 2.5 litre paint container
- the locating cells 3 may be arranged such that the distance between the first larger containers 12 when positioned in the positive lateral locating means is either only a few millimetres or many centimetres. Preferably the cans are separated by only a few millimetres as this means that a minimum amount of floor space is occupied. The smaller containers 13 will necessarily be separated by a greater distance because of their smaller diameter.
- a first grid 1 is placed on a suitable stable supporting surface such as the floor or a shelf.
- a plurality of containers are placed within the locating cells 3 on the upper side of the grid 1.
- a second grid 1 is then placed on top of the containers, with each container positioned within a respective locating cell 9 on the lower side of the grid 1.
- a second layer of containers can then be placed on top of the second grid 1 in the locating cells 3 and so on, to build up a stable compound column.
- the first layer of containers is preferably placed on a grid 1 rather than on the floor, as this positively locates the base of the column and improves stability.
- this first grid 1 could be omitted if desired.
- the column may be built up of one size of container only, with each locating cell 3 receiving a container. If the larger size of container is used, each is located within a primary locating means 6. If the smaller size of container is used, each is located within a secondary locating means 7. If desired, each layer may have fewer than seven containers. If so, preferably alternate outer cells 3b are filled to provide the column with stability.
- a mixed column of larger and smaller containers may be constructed.
- the larger containers are likely to be taller, in which case the second and subsequent grids will contact only the tops of the taller containers. Therefore, for stability it is preferable if the larger and smaller containers are arranged alternately in the outer cells 3b.
- a column may be built up of alternate layers of larger and smaller containers.
- any significant lateral movement of the bottom of the container is resisted by the first or second locating means 6,7 as appropriate to the size of the container.
- any significant lateral movement of the top of the container is resisted by the primary locating means 10 acting as stop means.
- those cells 9 on the underside of the grid 1 which have only a primary locating means 10 allow more lateral movement of the containers but the secondary locating means 11 on the underside keeps the grid 1 in alignment with the others in the column.
- the eccentric location of the secondary locating means 7 on the upper side of the grid 1 causes the smaller containers to be positioned adjacent to the peripheral wall 2, where it merges with the primary and secondary locating means 6 and 7 on the upper side, and where the primary locating means 10 merges with the perimeter wall 2 on the under side.
- these wall portions act as stop members against lateral movement of containers radially outward of the column.
- the column stabiliser may be made of any material of sufficient strength to support the weight of a compound column of containers.
- suitable materials include metal, wood and plastic.
- Plastic materials are preferred due to their light weight and ease of forming into complex shapes. Even more preferred are plastics selected from polyethylene, polypropylene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers and polystyrene. Most preferred is high impact resistant polystyrene.
