Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pressure vessel outlined in the preamble of claim 1.
- US2004/0258864A1 of 3M Innovative Properties Company discloses a flexible pressure vessel comprising a first and second layer, each comprising a flexible, liquid impervious material having a plurality of edges. A first edge of the first layer is bonded to a first edge of the second layer by a fold-over seal, and a second edge of the first layer is bonded to a second edge of the second layer with a fold-over seal.
- release liners of the vessel prevent part of the first and second layer from bonding together, creating an opening through which materials can be placed in the pressure vessel.
- This flexible pressure vessel is able to withstand the substantial pressure loads that may be encountered during air transport, because of the bonding of the layers by a fold-over seal.
- wrap around holding means restricts the maximum size to which the volume of the pressure vessel can increase as a consequence of a pressure loss that may occur in an aeroplane transporting the vessel with article including its possibly hazardous content.
- costly provisions such as fold over seals, may be omitted, and mainstream adhesives may be used, both enabling a less costly production process.
- An embodiment of the pressure vessel according to the invention is characterised in that one sheet end at the at least partly open side edge has an extending flap which flap and/or the outer side of the sheet whereon it lands after folding are/is provided with an additional adhesive.
- the flap extending at the sheet end can be folded in a direction to fold the side edge after closing, while the flap is being adhered to the outer side of the other sheet end.
- two consecutive adhesive barriers at least partly acting together are provided between the chamber and the ambient atmosphere viz. the adhesive barrier on the bonded inner faces of the closed side edge, and the flap versus outer sheet end adhesive barrier.
- Advantageously less sophisticated and more general available non aggressive types of adhesive can be selected from a broader range of types, as each barrier of the series arrangement of barriers only has to withstand part of a total pressure exerted by a possible pressure difference present between the chamber and the ambient atmosphere. If aggressive adhesive types are chosen, due to the succession of adhesive barriers, still higher pressure differences can be resisted thereby, but then the vessel can not be reused after opening.
- a further embodiment of the pressure vessel according to the invention is characterised in that at least one outer side of the at least one sheet is provided with at least one adhesive strip whereon the bonded inner opposing faces, after folding double the sheet end concerned at least one time, can be adhered.
- FIGS. 1A, 1B , 2A and 2B show embodiments of a pressure vessel 1.
- Vessel 1 may be manufactured from one sheet which is to be folded double and where after two fringes or edges of the then single sheet, for example opposite side edges 2-1 and 2-2, are to be bonded. Also the bottom edge 2-3 is bonded and the top edge 2-4 is left open giving access through an opening 4 to a thus formed chamber 3.
- the vessel 1 may also be manufactured from two or at wish more separate sheets placed on top of one another, but then three of the edges, generally referred to as 2, of the sheets are to be bonded, while leaving open a fourth edge 2-4, which forms the access opening 4 to the chamber 3.
- the at least one flexible sheet which surrounds the chamber 3 is made of a plastic, preferably a transparent, more preferably a laminated plastic, still more preferably having a thickness of at least 150 ⁇ m.
- a plastic preferably a transparent, more preferably a laminated plastic, still more preferably having a thickness of at least 150 ⁇ m.
- the plastic comprises several layers, on of which is a minimal stretch layer. This provides a vessel 1 having a fixed maximum outer volume determined by the dimensions of the minimal stretch layer.
- Part of the open edge 2-4 may be bonded as shown in fig. 1A , similar to the left and right edges 2-1 and 2-2, in order not to provide an opening 4 which covers the whole open edge 2-4. This in particular prevents rupture of sheet material and prevents leakage of air out of the upper left and right corners of the chamber 3 if the vessel 1 is transported in an aeroplane that experiences a sudden drop of air pressure of the ambient atmosphere.
- the at least partly open side edge 2-4 has inner opposing faces 5-1 and 5-2 at least one of which is provided with an adhesive 6.
- both faces 5-1 and 5-2 are provided with adhesive 6, which adhesive will be covered originally by a well known fly leaf which on application of the vessel 1 after an article to be transported is inserted in the chamber 3 through the opening 4, is to be removed by hand.
- outer sheet sides 7-1 and 7-2 near the open side edge 2-4 are pressed together in order to form a firm airtight bond between the inner opposing faces 5-1 and 5-2.
- these faces may have respective seal rims not shown in the drawings in order to close the opening 4 alternatively by bonding the corresponding seal rims, such as by applying heat to these rims.
- the respective side edges 2 are bonded together by welding, heat sealing, gluing, fusion or the like.
- Fig 1A shows a first embodiment of the vessel 1 which has its opening 4 at the upper top edge 2-4.
- the inner faces 5-1 and/or 5-2 are here provided with the adhesive 6. After the bonding of the inner faces 5 the edge 2-4 is folded double once or twice or as often as necessary.
- One or more adhesive strips 8, 8-1, 8-2 are provided on several positions on one or both outer sides 7-1, 7-2.
- the already bonded inner opposing faces 5 can be joined or adhered to at least one of these outer sides after folding the sheet edge 2-4 concerned at least one time or alternatively rolling the joined edge 2-4 up.
- Fig 2A shows a second embodiment of the vessel 1.
- one sheet end has at the at least partly open side edge 2-4 an extending flap 9.
- the extending flap 9 and/or the outer side 7-2 of the sheet whereon in lands after folding are/is provided with adhesive 6.
- the inner faces 5-1 and/or 5-2 are here provided with the adhesive 6.
- the extending flap 9 is folded double and adhered to the outer side 7-2.
- the adhered assembly of faces 5 and folded flap 9 is thereafter folded further and possibly adhered to one or more adhesive strips 8-1 again provided on several positions on possibly one or both outer sides 7-1, 7-2.
- the pressure vessel 1 comprises wrap around means 10 for holding the closed vessel 1 together, for example embodied by a band, brace, belt, fastener, sleeve, wrapper, rope, tape or ribbon which means surround the vessel 1 and provides an extra resistance against an increase of volume of the chamber 3 and vessel 1 in case of an air pressure drop.
- the vessel 1 which may be closed by means of the extending flap 9 and is wrapped as described above advantageously has a limited and fixed volume even if it is subjected to a sudden pressure drop. This results from the robust and sturdy embodiment of the wrap around means which limited the maximum attainable volume and dimensions of the thus packed vessel 1.

Description
- The present invention relates to a pressure vessel outlined in the preamble of
claim 1. -
US2004/0258864A1 of 3M Innovative Properties Company discloses a flexible pressure vessel comprising a first and second layer, each comprising a flexible, liquid impervious material having a plurality of edges. A first edge of the first layer is bonded to a first edge of the second layer by a fold-over seal, and a second edge of the first layer is bonded to a second edge of the second layer with a fold-over seal. In one embodiment of this vessel, release liners of the vessel prevent part of the first and second layer from bonding together, creating an opening through which materials can be placed in the pressure vessel. This flexible pressure vessel is able to withstand the substantial pressure loads that may be encountered during air transport, because of the bonding of the layers by a fold-over seal. - It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved pressure vessel which although capable of withstanding substantial differential pressures can be manufactured less costly and in a reduced number of steps, while still being simple to handle by normally skilled personnel, and which only requires selection of mainstream, more general available adhesives.
- Thereto the pressure vessel according to the invention has characterising features outlined in
claim 1. - The application of such wrap around holding means restricts the maximum size to which the volume of the pressure vessel can increase as a consequence of a pressure loss that may occur in an aeroplane transporting the vessel with article including its possibly hazardous content. In this manner, costly provisions, such as fold over seals, may be omitted, and mainstream adhesives may be used, both enabling a less costly production process.
- An embodiment of the pressure vessel according to the invention is characterised in that one sheet end at the at least partly open side edge has an extending flap which flap and/or the outer side of the sheet whereon it lands after folding are/is provided with an additional adhesive.
- It is advantage of this embodiment according to the invention that the flap extending at the sheet end can be folded in a direction to fold the side edge after closing, while the flap is being adhered to the outer side of the other sheet end. In this way two consecutive adhesive barriers at least partly acting together, are provided between the chamber and the ambient atmosphere viz. the adhesive barrier on the bonded inner faces of the closed side edge, and the flap versus outer sheet end adhesive barrier. Advantageously less sophisticated and more general available non aggressive types of adhesive can be selected from a broader range of types, as each barrier of the series arrangement of barriers only has to withstand part of a total pressure exerted by a possible pressure difference present between the chamber and the ambient atmosphere. If aggressive adhesive types are chosen, due to the succession of adhesive barriers, still higher pressure differences can be resisted thereby, but then the vessel can not be reused after opening.
- A further embodiment of the pressure vessel according to the invention is characterised in that at least one outer side of the at least one sheet is provided with at least one adhesive strip whereon the bonded inner opposing faces, after folding double the sheet end concerned at least one time, can be adhered.
- By folding the bonded inner faces possibly with the inclusion of the above mentioned bonded flap one or more times a sequence of adhesive barriers is realised which are capable of withstanding very high pressure differences without the required application of specially selected aggressive adhesives.
- At present the pressure vessel according to the invention will be elucidated further together with their additional advantages, while reference is being made to the appended drawing, wherein similar components are being referred to by means of the same reference numerals. In the drawing:
-
Fig. 1A shows a first embodiment of an initially open vessel according to the prior art; -
Fig 1B shows the vessel offig. 1A after at least partially being closed; -
Fig. 2A shows a second embodiment of an initially open vessel according to the prior art; -
Fig. 2B shows the vessel offig. 2A after at least partially being closed. -
Fig. 3A and 3B show schematic sectional views of the open edges of the first and second embodiment of the vessels above; and -
Fig. 4 shows a vessel according to the invention provided with wrap around means. - The
figures 1A, 1B ,2A and 2B show embodiments of apressure vessel 1. Vessel 1 may be manufactured from one sheet which is to be folded double and where after two fringes or edges of the then single sheet, for example opposite side edges 2-1 and 2-2, are to be bonded. Also the bottom edge 2-3 is bonded and the top edge 2-4 is left open giving access through anopening 4 to a thus formedchamber 3. Thevessel 1 may also be manufactured from two or at wish more separate sheets placed on top of one another, but then three of the edges, generally referred to as 2, of the sheets are to be bonded, while leaving open a fourth edge 2-4, which forms the access opening 4 to thechamber 3. The at least one flexible sheet which surrounds thechamber 3, is made of a plastic, preferably a transparent, more preferably a laminated plastic, still more preferably having a thickness of at least 150 µm. In case of a laminated plastic the plastic comprises several layers, on of which is a minimal stretch layer. This provides avessel 1 having a fixed maximum outer volume determined by the dimensions of the minimal stretch layer. - Part of the open edge 2-4 may be bonded as shown in
fig. 1A , similar to the left and right edges 2-1 and 2-2, in order not to provide anopening 4 which covers the whole open edge 2-4. This in particular prevents rupture of sheet material and prevents leakage of air out of the upper left and right corners of thechamber 3 if thevessel 1 is transported in an aeroplane that experiences a sudden drop of air pressure of the ambient atmosphere. - As the
figures 3A and 3B show in detail the at least partly open side edge 2-4 has inner opposing faces 5-1 and 5-2 at least one of which is provided with an adhesive 6. In thefigs 3A and 3B both faces 5-1 and 5-2 are provided with adhesive 6, which adhesive will be covered originally by a well known fly leaf which on application of thevessel 1 after an article to be transported is inserted in thechamber 3 through theopening 4, is to be removed by hand. Subsequently outer sheet sides 7-1 and 7-2 near the open side edge 2-4 are pressed together in order to form a firm airtight bond between the inner opposing faces 5-1 and 5-2. Apart from applyingadhesive 6 on the faces, again generally referred to now with reference numeral, 5 these faces may have respective seal rims not shown in the drawings in order to close the opening 4 alternatively by bonding the corresponding seal rims, such as by applying heat to these rims. In general the respective side edges 2 are bonded together by welding, heat sealing, gluing, fusion or the like. -
Fig 1A shows a first embodiment of thevessel 1 which has its opening 4 at the upper top edge 2-4. The inner faces 5-1 and/or 5-2 (seefig. 3A ) are here provided with theadhesive 6. After the bonding of the inner faces 5 the edge 2-4 is folded double once or twice or as often as necessary. One or more adhesive strips 8, 8-1, 8-2 (seefigs. 2A and 2B ) are provided on several positions on one or both outer sides 7-1, 7-2. The already bonded inner opposing faces 5 can be joined or adhered to at least one of these outer sides after folding the sheet edge 2-4 concerned at least one time or alternatively rolling the joined edge 2-4 up. -
Fig 2A shows a second embodiment of thevessel 1. Now one sheet end has at the at least partly open side edge 2-4 an extendingflap 9. The extendingflap 9 and/or the outer side 7-2 of the sheet whereon in lands after folding are/is provided with adhesive 6. Also the inner faces 5-1 and/or 5-2 (seefig. 3B ) are here provided with theadhesive 6. After the bonding of the inner faces 5 the extendingflap 9 is folded double and adhered to the outer side 7-2. The adhered assembly of faces 5 and foldedflap 9 is thereafter folded further and possibly adhered to one or more adhesive strips 8-1 again provided on several positions on possibly one or both outer sides 7-1, 7-2. - As shown in
fig. 4 thepressure vessel 1 according to the invention comprises wrap aroundmeans 10 for holding the closedvessel 1 together, for example embodied by a band, brace, belt, fastener, sleeve, wrapper, rope, tape or ribbon which means surround thevessel 1 and provides an extra resistance against an increase of volume of thechamber 3 andvessel 1 in case of an air pressure drop. Thevessel 1 which may be closed by means of the extendingflap 9 and is wrapped as described above advantageously has a limited and fixed volume even if it is subjected to a sudden pressure drop. This results from the robust and sturdy embodiment of the wrap around means which limited the maximum attainable volume and dimensions of the thus packedvessel 1.
