Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container, of the type comprising a body made of synthetic material, this body comprising, on at least one side, a pair of juxtaposed orifices, each orifice giving access to a receiving housing of an arm of fork of handling equipment.
  • the invention more particularly intends to remedy by proposing a container made of synthetic material able to withstand shocks and repeated contacts between forklift trucks and the body of the container.
  • the invention relates to a container of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the body comprises a bottom and four sides, each side having a pair of orifices and being equipped with a metal shield integral with the body and covering the side near the orifices.
  • the parts of the sides of the container body located in the vicinity of the forks receiving the forks are protected from shocks, since the metal shield is a mechanical protection against these shocks.
  • a metal shield reinforces the structure of the container and, with a suitable configuration, guide the forks of the trucks to the inside of the orifices.
  • the container 1 comprises a body 3 of synthetic material, for example high density polyethylene.
  • the body 3 comprises a bottom 311 of rectangular section and four sides substantially perpendicular to the bottom 311, namely two longitudinal sides 313 rising from the lengths of the bottom 311 and two transverse sides 315 rising from the widths of the bottom 311
  • the bottom 311 has on its upper face 311A unrepresented reliefs, additional parts to be housed and transported in the container 1.
  • the container 1 may, for example, be intended for the transport of spare parts of motor vehicles. The reliefs are then designed to accommodate as precisely as possible these spare parts.
  • the body 3 is made by rotational molding of high density polyethylene, the reliefs being directly made by rotational molding on the bottom 311 of the body 3.
  • the bottom 311 of the body 3 further comprises drainage holes for water or runoff liquid also not shown.
  • the body 3 comprises four uprights 314 which rise from each of its corners.
  • the portion 314A of the body 3, located below each upright 314, is shaped to have a shape complementary to the outer shape of each upright 314. In this way, several containers 1 are able to be stacked, when are empty, by mutual interlocking of their uprights 314, as shown in FIG. figure 8 .
  • the body 3 comprises, on each of the four sides 313 and 315, a pair of orifices 318 juxtaposed, each orifice 318 giving access to a housing 319 formed in the body 3 and adapted to receive an arm of a fork of handling trolley.
  • Each side 313 or 315 is equipped with a shield 5 consisting of a steel plate.
  • Each shield 5 has a main portion 51 which extends against the side 313 or 315 concerned around the orifices 318, so as to protect the outer surface 313E or 315E of the body 3 located in the vicinity of the upper and lateral areas of the orifices 318.
  • Each shield 5 also comprises, for each orifice 318, three folding wings which are able to engage from the surfaces 313E or 315E inwards of the housing 319 adjacent and, thus, to protect the entrance to the orifice 318. More specifically, two lateral wings 53 and 53 ', visible at Figures 2 to 4 are capable of covering the lateral faces 319A of each housing 319. These wings 53 and 53 'are of substantially rectangular shape, with a width slightly smaller than the height of each orifice 318 and a length substantially equivalent to half the length of each orifice 318.
  • each housing 319 is partially covered by a third wing 54 of substantially rectangular shape, with a length substantially equivalent to the length of each orifice 318 and a width of the order of a few centimeters.
  • the shield profile represented in Figures 2 to 4 corresponds to a shield installed on a longitudinal side 313 of the body 3.
  • the shields 5 installed on the transverse sides 315 have a similar profile, but their shape is adapted to facilitate their implantation on the sides 315.
  • the four shields 5 are fixed on each side 313 or 315 of the body 3 by riveting by means of stampings 55.
  • the attachment of each shield 5 can be made by screwing.
  • the flat configuration of the shield 5 shown in FIG. figure 4 is obtained from a substantially flat steel blank, in which are formed fold lines 531, 531 'and 541 able to be superimposed on the side edges 318A and upper 318B of the orifices 318.
  • the outline of the wings 53, 53' and 54, as well as the general contour of the shield 5, are cut in the steel blank.
  • the blank thus prepared is then applied to each side 313 or 315 of the body 3 so as to superpose the folding lines 531, 531 'and 541 on the edges 318A and 318B of the orifices 318.
  • the wings 53, 53 'and 54 are folded and fixed against, respectively, the side faces 319A and 319B upper housing 319.
  • each shield 5 may be made of another metallic material having good impact resistance.
  • the presence of the four shields 5 on the container 1 according to the invention makes it possible to preserve the zones of the body 3 located in the vicinity of the orifices 318 against any damage due to shocks or repeated contacts with forks of handling equipment, while strengthening the structure of rotomolded body 3.
  • the presence of the wings 53, 53 'and 54, folded from the outer surface 313E or 315E of the body 3 towards the inside of the housings 319 ensures a function of guiding the forks of the handling equipment towards the inside of these housing.
  • the container 1 represented at figure 1 also comprises two stacking tees 7, each tee 7 consisting of a central bar 71 and two wings 73, arranged generally in a shape of "T". Each wing 73 is provided at its distal end 731 with an anchoring loop 75 on an upright 314 of the body 3.
  • the wings 73 of each tee 7 form a receiving zone 733 of another container, substantially perpendicular to the bar central 71 and separated from each of the distal ends 731 by an inclined pan 735, the corresponding distal end 731 to the receiving zone 733, towards the central bar 71.
  • Each of the tees 7 is articulated on a transverse side 315 of the body 3.
  • Each tee 7 is movable between a low position in which the central bar 71 is substantially parallel to the bottom 311, and a high position in which the central bar 71 is substantially perpendicular at bottom 311, while the wings 73 extend parallel to the transverse side 315 on which the tee 7 is hinged and rest on the uprights 314 flanking this side 315.
  • the tees 7 When the container 1 is empty, the tees 7 are in the low position. As soon as the two tees 7 are in the low position, a container homologous to the container 1 can be stacked on it by mutually interlocking the uprights 314 of the two containers, as shown in FIG. figure 8 .
  • each of the stacking tees 7 Prior to the loading on the face 311A of the body 3 of parts intended to be transported in the container 1, each of the stacking tees 7 is moved from its lower position to its upper position, by a tilting around an axis directed parallel to the sides transverse 315 of the body 3.
  • Each tee 7 has an oblong slot 711 formed in the central bar 71, parallel to the axis of this central bar.
  • a rod 316 integral with the body 3 is able to slide in the oblong slot 711.
  • the sliding of the rod 316 in the oblong slot 711 makes it possible to raise each tee 7, in the vicinity of its upper position, with respect to the amounts 314, as shown in figure 5 .
  • the distal ends 731 can thus be made to cap the upper portion 314B of the uprights 314, without risk of blocking the ends 731 by the uprights 314 during the tilting of the tees 7 from their lower position to their upper position.
  • an oblong slot 711 may be formed in the body 3 while the corresponding rod 316 is integral with the central bar 71 of each tee 7.
  • the uprights 314 are equipped, at their upper part 314B, with relief shapes 314C intended to receive the anchoring loops 75.
  • the two reception zones 733 are able to receive together the bottom of a container, homologous or not with the container 1, stacked on the container 1, as shown in FIG. figure 9 .
  • the presence of inclined faces 735, which surround each receiving zone 733, makes it possible to guide and maintain the positioning of the stacked container on the container 1.
  • the anchoring of the loops 75 on the uprights 314 and the support of the panels inclined 735 against the lateral faces 314D of the uprights 314 make it possible to maintain the spacing of the uprights 314 when stacking the containers in the high position of the tees 7.
  • Each tee 7 also comprises a load transfer bracket 713 fixed on the central bar 71 and adapted to bear on a support 312 formed at the transverse side 315 on which is articulated the tee 7.
  • a load transfer bracket 713 fixed on the central bar 71 and adapted to bear on a support 312 formed at the transverse side 315 on which is articulated the tee 7.
  • the container 1 comprises two flanges 9 for retaining pieces housed in the body 3.
  • Each flange 9 comprises a main bar 91, extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal sides 313 of the body 3 and two tabs 93 bent, oriented in the same direction, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the bar 91.
  • Each tab 93 of a flange 9 is articulated on a transverse side 315 of the body 3 by means of a pin 95 formed on the tab 93 and adapted to be inserted into a well overmolded in the body 3.
  • Each leg 93 is furthermore fixed to a tension spring 97 disposed between the lug 93 and the transverse side 315 on which it is hinged.
  • the two springs 97 associated with each flange 9 thus exert on it an elastic return force towards the bottom 311 of the body 3.
  • the tension springs 97 may be replaced by gas cylinders or flat springs.
  • Each retaining flange 9 is movable between a low position in which the tabs 93 are substantially parallel to the bottom 311 and a high position in which the tabs 93 are substantially inclined, or even perpendicular to the bottom 311.
  • each flange 9 is arranged in its lower position, to allow a container homologous to the container 1 to be stacked on the container 1 by interlocking the uprights 314 of these containers, as shown in FIG. figure 8 .
  • each flange 9 Before parts intended to be transported in the container 1, are placed on the face 311A of the body 3, the flanges 9 are moved from their low position to their high position retaining these parts. They are then released and, under the action of the springs 97, they are pressed by their respective main bars 91 on the upper parts of the parts to be transported. In this position, each flange 9 holds in place the parts housed in the body 3, thanks to the action of the springs 97 directed towards the bottom 311. Moreover, during the transport of the parts in the container 1, each spring 97 is able to unfold more or less in order to adapt the force exerted on the flange 9 corresponding to shocks or vibrations occurring during transport. Thus, the pressure exerted by the flanges 9 on the transported parts is substantially constant during transport.
  • a container 1 according to the invention is therefore able, thanks to the presence of the shields 5, to withstand damage due to the action of forks of handling equipment on the body 3 of the container.
  • Such a container 1 has, moreover, several additional advantageous characteristics.
  • the container 1 is stacked empty, in the low position of the tees and retaining flanges, by interlocking its amounts 314 with the amounts of a homologous container.
  • the container 1 is also stackable to the full, when the tees 7 and the flanges 9 are in the up position. Finally, the presence of the retaining flanges 9 ensures the maintenance of parts to be transported in the container 1.
