Definitions
- the invention relates in general to a platform-type container.
- it relates to a platform-type container that is adjustable during the stages of loading objects, transporting said objects and of returning and/or storing said empty container.
- Platform-type containers commonly referred to as flat containers, are often fitted for heavy freight loads that require them to be loaded via the top or through the sides of the container.
- Existing containers of whatever type are of standard size and their production is subject to international standards. Their shape, external dimensions, the maximum mass that they can carry and the handling grips are precisely defined in order to render the container as multimodal as possible while providing maximum volume. It has to be able to go everywhere, be transportable equally by road, train or ship. Therefore, it must be integrated into the loading gauges for road, rail or sea. In particular, two standard container lengths have been defined: 20 feet (6.06 m) and 40 feet (12.19 m).
- standardised flat containers including platform-type containers are not suited to the transport of certain objects of a size that only slightly exceeds the internal dimensions of said containers.
- the standard 20 feet (6.06 m) container is not suitable because its minimum internal length, a measurement commonly specified for all types of container, is less than 5.8 m.
- glass sheets cannot be loaded into the container, either via the top or through one of its sides.
- the standard 40 feet (12.19 m) container is much too large for the transport of such glass sheets.
- foldable there exist platform-type containers that are referred to as "foldable”, or in other words that can be folded when they are empty. These foldable containers then have an economical advantage since, when folded, they have a minimum volume for their return and/or storage. Moreover, they are mostly stackable once folded.
- the object of the present invention aims to benefit from the economical advantage of the already known foldable container while avoiding the above-mentioned disadvantages of standardisation of this type of container for the transport of objects of a size that only slightly exceeds the internal dimensions of said container.
- the present invention provides a container that has several configurations that allow it to be adjustable
- the container according to the present invention differs from containers known in the art on the basis that it enables a particular configuration to be adopted for loading objects of a size that exceeds the internal dimensions of said container in its configuration adapted to the transport of said objects.
- the present invention provides a container as described in claim 1.
- the invention provides a method for loading flat glass sheet as described in claim 9.
- the present invention also relates to the use of a container according to the invention for the transport of flat glass sheets as described in claim 11. Particular embodiments of the invention are described in dependent claims.
- Figure 1 is a view in vertical section of the longest side of the container in so-called transport configuration.
- Figure 2 is a view in vertical section of the shortest side of the container in so-called transport configuration.
- Figure 3 is a similar view to Figure 1 with the container in a configuration adapted to loading an object with a length greater than the minimum internal length of said container when it is in a configuration adapted to transport.
- Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 1 with the container folded up.
- the container is a platform-type container.
- the container is formed from
- loading platform (1) a dimensionally stable rectangular base intended to receive the objects to be transported, referred to as loading platform (1), which is itself formed from a rigid and dimensionally stable frame (2) enclosing a floor (3)fixed to said floor (2),
- the loading platform (1) is formed from a rectangular frame (2) enclosing a floor (3).
- This frame according to the invention comprises two beams that form the two longest sides of the frame and two rectangular panels, each forming one of the two smallest sides of the frame.
- the two rectangular panels according to the invention preferably have a thickness of a minimum of 4 mm and 8 mm at maximum.
- the two rectangular panels according to the invention are preferably made of steel.
- the angle posts (5) are cuboidal and articulated thanks to the fixture of their base to a linkage system (4) pivoting in a plane parallel to the longest sides of the frame (2).
- the linkage systems (4) are respectively arranged at each of the 4 corners of the frame (2) and are fixed thereto.
- the angle posts (5) are fixed in pairs in the width of the platform by a rigid rectangular partition (6). According to the invention, no partition connects the angle posts on the side faces located on the longest sides of the container. Because of this, each of the partitions forming a side wall cause the two linkage systems (4) to which it is fixed to pivot in identical manner.
- the height of the angle posts (5) must be less than half the length of the loading platform (1).
- the container according to the invention can be characterised by opening angles. Opening angle is understood to mean the angle defined by any of the two side walls with the floor (3). The container according to the invention is thus characterised by two opening angles.
- the container of the invention has traditional locking means for the two opening angles that, independently of one another, can only have two values equal to 0° and 90° respectively.
- the term traditional locking means relates to the locking of a foldable container that is already well known in the transport sector.
- the container also has additional locking means for at least one of the two opening angles at a value greater than 90° and at maximum equal to 180°.
- the opening angle preferably reaches a value equal to 120° at maximum.
- the two opening angles of the container can be locked at an identical or different angle value by means of the additional locking means.
- the traditional locking means according to the invention that enable locking of the opening angles at a value of 0° or 90° can be different from or identical to the additional means that enable locking of the opening angle at a value greater than 90°.
- the traditional locking means are preferably identical to the additional locking means.
- the pivoting linkage systems (4) according to the invention that are arranged at each of the 4 corners of the frame (2) and are fixed thereto can be of several types. For example, as illustrated in the figures, a linkage system according to the invention can be formed:
- this articulation means (8) can be formed, for example, by a pivoting axis passing through the angle post in parallel to the partition (6) and fixed to each panel, or from two rivets, which are secured to each of the panels and on which said angle post is mounted to pivot.
- the locking means form part of the pivoting linkage systems (4).
- the locking means are preferably of the rotary lock type, also commonly called twist lock, currently used in the handling and stowage of standard containers on the means of transport.
- the container according to the invention can adopt a plurality of configurations depending on the values of the opening angles locked by the locking means of said container.
- the container according to the invention can be locked in at least 6 configurations: a) when the two opening angles are equal to 90°, b) when the two opening angles are equal to 0°, c) when one opening angle is equal to 90° and the other is equal to 0°, d) when one opening angle is greater than 90° and the other is equal to 90°, e) when one opening angle is greater than 90° and the other is equal to 0°, f) when the two opening angles are greater than 90°.
- some of these configurations are specially adapted to the different steps necessary for the transport of objects by container, i.e. a) loading of the objects into the container, b) transport therein, c) return and/or storage of the empty container.
- the container when the two opening angles are equal to 90°, the container is in a configuration referred to as "open transport configuration".
- This configuration shown schematically in Figure 1 effectively gives the container a standard cuboidal form adapted to the transport of said container.
- the container when at least one opening angle is greater than 90° and the other opening angle is equal to or greater than 90°, the container is in a configuration referred to as "open loading configuration".
- This configuration shown in Figure 3 in fact allows an object, whose largest dimension is slightly larger than the minimum internal length and smaller than the maximum internal length of the container in the open transport configuration, to pass into the interior of the container.
- Minimum internal length is understood to mean the shortest distance between the two upper corner elements located on the same longest side of said container in the open transport configuration.
- Maximum internal length is understood to mean the distance between the two opposing rectangular partitions (6) of said container in the open transport configuration.
- the container according to the invention can also be used to transport objects having dimensions that are smaller than the minimum internal dimensions of said container.
- the open loading configuration is not used and the objects are loaded into the container via the top or at one of its longest sides when it is in the open transport configuration.
- the open loading configuration is obtained when only one opening angle is greater than 90°.
- the open loading configuration is obtained when both opening angles are greater than 90°.
- the opening angles can be identical or different.
- the container is folded up or is in a configuration referred to as "closed (transport) configuration".
- This configuration shown schematically in Figure 4 occupies a minimum volume and allows return and/or economical storage of the empty container.
- the pivoting linkage systems (4) according to the invention allow the container to change from one locked configuration to another. In particular, it can change from an open loading configuration to an open transport configuration once loaded. When it is emptied of its load, it can be locked in closed configuration for its return or storage, then positioned once again in one open locked configuration or the other for a subsequent use.
- the rectangular rigid partitions (6) of the container according to the invention preferably have a thickness of a minimum of 4 mm and 8 mm at maximum.
- the rectangular rigid partitions are preferably made of steel.
- the rectangular rigid partitions (6) according to the invention preferably have a maximum height equal to the height of the angle posts (5).
- the container according to the present invention has a maximum number of 8 corner elements (7), also commonly referred to as corner fittings, fixed to each of the 4 corners of the frame (2) and at the end of each of the 4 angle posts (5) opposite their base. These corner fittings (7) enable handling and stowage of the container when it is locked in the open transport configuration.
- the corner fittings (7) according to the invention are standardised, i.e. are identical to those of standard containers. Their dimensions and their horizontal and vertical spacing are defined most precisely by standard ISO 668, since they are not only used for handling by specialised trucks, but also, and above all, for stowing containers on the decks of ships, on lorries or rail wagons.
- the container can be stacked in the open transport configuration. Its external height must therefore be adapted to the size of the object to be transported, or in other words it must be at least slightly more than the height of said object.
- the height from the base of an angle post (5) to the top of the corner fitting secured to said angle post (5) must be less than half the length of the loading platform (1) in order to permit the closed configuration, or in other words to permit an opening angle equal to 0° to be obtained.
- the container has the height of a standard container when it is in the open transport configuration.
- the container when it is in the open transport configuration, has a height that is greater than the height of a standard container, but equal to or less than half the length of the platform (1).
- the container has a height that is less than the height of a standard container when it is in the open transport configuration.
- the angle posts (5) according to the invention can each have a handling grip (9). These handling grips (9) are preferably located on the upwardly directed face of each of the angle posts when the two opening angles are equal to 0°.
- the container when it is locked in the closed configuration, the container occupies a volume that is at least four- times smaller than the volume of the same container when locked in the open transport configuration.
- This embodiment of the invention enables return and/or economical storage of the empty container, as already mentioned above. Moreover, when locked in the closed configuration, the container according to the invention can be stacked for transport and/or storage.
- the container has hooking means for a tarpaulin for protection of its load.
- these hooking means for the tarpaulin correspond to (a) a bar secured transversely to the upper end of each of the two rectangular partitions (6) and/or (b) four bars respectively secured to each of the angle posts (5) and/or (c) at least two bars respectively secured along each of the longest sides of the frame (2).
- the platform (1) of the container has the length and the width of that of a standard container.
- the container according to the invention thus provides an arrangement that benefits from the advantages of standardisation for transport by virtue of its dimensions, its cuboidal shape and its handling grips that are identical to those of the known standard containers.
- the floor (3) of the loading platform (1) of the container can have structures (10) that enable said container to be transported on a cellular-type container ship. This is one of the most commonly used types of ship for container transport by sea.
- the container preferably has a minimum internal length that is less than or equal to 6 metres in the open transport configuration.
- a standard 20 feet container in fact has a minimum internal length of 5.70 m although it has a maximum internal length of more than 6 m.
- the container in the open transport configuration has the length of a standard 20 feet container
- the fact that at least one opening angle is locked at a value greater than 90° allows the minimum internal length of said container to be increased beyond 5.70 m.
- the open loading configuration allows a minimum internal length of more than 6.02 metres to be obtained.
- the present invention also provides a method for loading objects into a container according to the invention.
- the objects loaded using the method according to the invention have a larger dimension or a length that is slightly greater than the minimum internal length of the container in the open transport configuration.
- the objects loaded using the method according to the invention are preferably elongated in shape.
- the loading method according to the invention comprises the following consecutive steps:
- the insertion and placement of elongated objects in the container is preferably conducted so that the length of said objects is parallel to the length of the platform (1). In particular, this arrangement is necessary when the length of the objects is larger than the width of the container.
- the insertion of the objects into the container is conducted via the top of the container.
- the insertion of the objects into the container is preferably conducted vertically via the top. The insertion can also be conducted simultaneously sideways and via the top.
- the loaded container can be handled, stowed, stacked, stored ... It can also be covered by a tarpaulin to protect its load.
- the method when the container has a minimum internal length of less than 6 metres and a maximum internal length of more than 6 metres in the open transport configuration, the method allows elongated objects with a length of less than or equal to 6 metres to be loaded into the container.
- the method allows flat glass sheets with a length of less than or equal to 6 metres to be loaded.
- the tarpaulin possibly used to protect the load of the container can be housed in the space left between the floor (3) and the side walls when the container is in the closed configuration. The tarpaulin can thus be easily brought to the starting point of the loaded container.
- the invention also relates to the use of a container according to the invention for the transport of flat glass sheets with a length of less than or equal to 6 m.
- the use of the container according to the invention also provides for the use of a trestle for transporting flat glass sheets.
- the trestle is the support commonly used for the transport of flat glass sheets in general.
- the trestle is preferably made of metal.
- the invention provides for the use of a standard trestle that is modified.
- a first modification of the standard trestle relates to it being rendered dismountable so that it can be housed in the space left between the floor (3) and the side walls when the container is in the closed configuration.
- the trestle can thus be easily brought to the starting point of the container and then re-assembled so that it can be reused for a subsequent load.
- the tarpaulin possibly used to protect the load of the container during transport can be housed there at the same time as the trestle.
- a second modification of the standard trestle provided by the invention relates to the distance between the internal feet of said trestle being increased 5 to 10% without increasing the total length of the trestle.
- the thus modified trestle can then be placed, and possibly secured, directly on the floor (3) avoiding the structures (10) that enable the transport of the container in a cellular type ship with cell guides.
- This modification enables the increase in height of the container according to the invention, in relation to the standard height, necessary for stacking said container containing flat glass sheets of large dimensions to be reduced.
