Definitions

  • Embodiments of reduced sized have other uses, such as for a modeling agent or modeling toy.
  • Smaller-scale containers of the embodiments for consumer beverages and the like allow the consumer to use the containers as creative architectural modeling, since the units interconnect solidly even when left empty. In the latter respect, use as a type of architectural "toy" can be implemented by a broad age span of users.
  • All uses of the present invention result in significant reductions of container material direct to the waste streams and dumping areas. Moreover, all versions are ultimately recyclable, such that the design yields an entire lifecycle of uses as an efficient container for the initial delivery of goods, as a sturdy, highly adaptable, durable, and inexpensive construction material and/or component for architectural designs, and as an eventual standard material for recycling.
  • the introduction of a container as both useful to hold goods and perform as a construction base represents at least a 50% increase in product functionality in an era where full and well-directed use of resources is ever more critical. When combined with the aforementioned efficiencies in shipping, this multi-cycle employment attains some of the highest goals for the design of responsible products.

  • Triangular top sections 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12dof top end 12 rise from side walls to neck 18 and provide additional resistive strength to a weight of an additional container that may be stacked on top of container 2.
  • Bottom end 14 is shaped in a pyramidal form similar to top end 12. As shown in Figures 3, 4, bottom end 14 comprises triangular bottom sections 14a, 14b, 14c, and 14d that rise from each bottom edge of walls 4-8, respectively, to converge at cylindrical indention 20. Indention 20 is sized to receive a cap from a similar container to 2 that has a similar cap to 16. Likewise, bottom end ridges 14a-14d would rest against top end ridges from a similar container having ridges formed as ridges 12a-12d.
  • Containers 2 and container 2' which are similar in all respects, are arranged to illustrate how the two containers would connect vertically.
  • Container 2' has a top end with pyramidal rise 12', a bottom end with indented pyramidal rise 14', and an indention 20" at its apex that is sized to receive top end pyramidal rise 12.
  • bottom end pyramidal rise 14' and indention 20' receive top end pyramidal rise 12 and cap 16.
  • Containers 2 and 2' are secured together by the weight of container 2' and its contents (if any) upon container 2, and also by a reasonably snug fit of the inserted cap. Containers 2 and 2' also have some horizontal interconnectivity when cap 16 is received by indention 20'.
  • Container 2 provides a mechanism to connect with another container in an interlocking manner using handle 26 and corresponding recessions 28, 30, and 32.
  • Handle 26 is integrated into side 4 in a perpendicular orientation to bottom end 4. Handle 26 may extend a partial or full length of side 4.
  • FIG. 7A containers 2 and similarly-constructed container 42 are illustrated interlocked, where handle 26 is slidably inserted into recessed groove 44.
  • Figure 7B illustrates a series of four containers 2, 42, 46, and 48 partially interlocked horizontally using the handle-in-groove method of slidable connections.
  • Figure 8 shows containers 2, 42, 46 and 48 interlocking where each block's handle is slidably inserted into a recessed groove of each adjoining block at a right angle.
  • container 2 has handle 26 with three recessed grooves 32
  • container 42 comprises handle 58 and three recessed grooves 60
  • container 46 comprises handle 56 and three recessed grooves 54
  • container 48 comprises handle 52 and three recessed grooves 50.
  • handle 26 When assembled, handle 26 inserts into groove 50, handle 52 inserts into groove 54, handle 56 inserts into groove 60, and handle 58 inserts into groove 32, thereby forming a squared unit 62 of four containers. Due to the 3:1 ratio of grooves-to-handles, there are no protruding parts on the perimeter of the assembled unit of containers. This 3:1 configuration allows a cubed design of containers to maximize the number of lateral connections that can interlock with additional containers from any of the three grooved sides. Using a handle/recessed groove in a configuration of one handle with three grooves to a container also allows a construction of multiple containers to have relatively flat faces on corners and walls when constructed with multiple containers.
  • Figures 9A and 9B illustrate plan views of structures that are possible to build with the modular container 2 of the embodiments.
  • the embodiments of the present invention supporting one connection point and three recessed grooves in a square footprint, allows diversions of walls in any direction with the same thickness in each wall.
  • the containers allow simple construction of the walls and ease of construction in aligning right angle corners without the use of tools.
  • Structure 64 in Figure 9A illustrates multiple exemplary containers aligned in a single file to form walls.
  • Arrows drawn in exemplary containers 66 represent the direction of each handle 26 from a container 2 that is inserted into an adjacent container's recessed groove 28, 30, or 32. Turns are all constrained as a right angle.
  • shallow notch marks may be placed at halfway locations (and/or other locations) on each vertical wall of a container allows builders to line up containers without instruments.
  • FIG. 11 various walls constructed with exemplary containers 2 comprising a 1 -handle and 3-recessed groove design are shown. Corners and ninety degree turns in wall 80 (in plan view) can be
  • wall 82 comprises two columns of four stacked containers, one column of two stacked exemplary containers and one column being a single container.
  • Such design functionality using the embodiments provides for diversions of and changes to walls in virtually any direction with the same or similar thickness of walls and makes it very easy to align right angle corners without any tools. The resulting structures square up almost automatically.
  • any number of containers comprising the given structure can be filled with lower density materials such as paper, cloth scraps, leaves, grass and the like to provide good insulation without significant additional weight.
  • inventions may be used in the construction of effective shelter and roofing solutions.
  • Materials and methods to construct a roof may vary by world region and depend upon materials locally available.
  • exemplary modular containers are stacked and interlocked to form a structure 84, which is illustrated in a plan view.
  • Figure 12B shows a wall side view 86, and how pyramid-shaped top ends 12 of each container 2, when interlocked side-by-side, form V-slots 88 that may receive roofing members 90 of practically any form that provide support for a flat style roofing cover.
  • a height-to-width ratio of exemplary container 2 ranges between approximately 1 :1 and 2:1. This ratio accounts for a combined advantage of lower center of gravity for each container and the 1:2 ratio for a sloping roof that is common on many roofs worldwide.
  • the range of ratios provided should not be understood as limiting, however. One skilled in the art will recognize that other ratios are useful and possible.
  • a walled structure 100 built with modular interlocking containers 2 of the embodiments is illustrated in plan view.
  • rope, wire or cords 102 are tied and stretched between opposing wall structures, thereby providing support for a canvas, plastic tarp, or other roofing cover materials.
  • neck 18 of container 2 is slightly elongated as it protrudes away from top end 12. Neck 18 provides an area around which to secure cords or rope 102 to cover the exposed area within shelter 100.
  • Cap 16 prevents cords 102 from slipping off of each container 2.
  • This configuration provides the builder an anchoring device from which to extend a tight line along certain roof axes, creating a grid upon which one can place or stretch roofing material such as grasses, fronds, large leaves, tarps, plastic sheeting, etc. If solid roofing members, such as plywood or aluminum sheeting, are available and desirable, then cap 16 on each top row container provides a stable and versatile base for tylng down roof members and roofing material.
  • Figure 15 illustrates alternative embodiments of container 2, where an allowance is made for under-girding support and pass-through wires around the container.
  • a modular interconnected container 104 is formed similar to container 2 with an addition of a notch 106 that is formed at the central base of each sidewall 108, 110, 112, 114 at the base of each of three interlocking recessed grooves 116.
  • a notch 106 is thereby also formed under handle 118. Placing a corresponding notch at the bottom end 120 of container 104 allows an underpassage of wires for additional support and interconnection.
  • One example would be to add horizontal support for bridging a doorway.
  • Figure 16 illustrates a plan view 122 and side view 124 of palletized containers 2 that have been securely interlocked together and prepared for shipping.
  • Pallet 126 can be any size of common pallet in the marketplace, such as the Imperial measure 40 inch by 48 inch pallet, very near to the European pallet 1000mm by 1200mm (39.37 inches by 47.24 inches). Each of these sizes is a reasonably close fit for a block of containers, where each container measures approximately nine inches square at the base, holding about 10 liters.
  • Figure 17 illustrates two side views of palletized containers.
  • View 128 is a side view looking directly at top ends of interlocked containers that are oriented in a horizontal, instead of vertical, position on pallet 126.
  • View 130 is a side view of the container unit in view 128. Such a stacking
  • each container 132 and 134 is formed with a cuboid design of one handle and three recessed grooves having a squared footprint of similar depth with a 3:1 modular interconnectivity described in relation to container 2.
  • Container 134 is twice the vertical height of container 132 but maintains the same horizontal depth, thus providing approximately twice the volumetric capacity as container 132.
  • Figure 18C shows another embodiment where container 136 comprises a construction design of one handle 131 and five recessed grooves 137 on a rectangular footprint.
  • Container 136 appears as two containers 135, 135' but is in fact a single container. There is no dividing wall separating two similarly formed "halves" 135 and 135'.
  • container 136 is designed as single container, it maintains the interconnectivity features as if two container shapes with individual pyramidal top ends 133. 133' and recessed pyramidal bottom ends had been joined together. Interlocking mechanisms are formed on the walls of each container and spaced around the perimeter to allow side-to-side and vertical interconnectivity with individual or joined containers of similar square footprints and similar depths.
  • Container 136 has a 2:1 footprint that equates to a volumetric capacity roughly four times that of container 132 and roughly double that of container 134.
  • the footprint of container 136 is the same depth as containers 132 and 134 thereby allowing vertical interlocking with square footprint embodiments such as containers 132 and 134.
  • a double cap arrangement 141 , 141 ' and bottom end
  • pyramidal indentions are maintained for vertical connectivity with other containers.
  • Bottom ends of container halves 135, 135" are each formed similar to bottom end 14 illustrated in Figures 3 and 4, and thus receive individual pyramidal top ends from other containers in a stacked arrangement.
  • Cap 141' could be a "dummy" cap used only for connectivity while cap 141 is a working cap that covers an opening for filling and pouring contents.
  • both caps may be retained as working flow apertures.
  • unit 136 could be stacked on top of two individual containers 132 that are interconnected.
  • While modular unit 138 is three times the height and three times the width of container 132, it shares the same depth as container 132 such that it has roughly nine times the volumetric capacity as container 132.
  • the triple-spout top section 139, 139', and 139" allows vertical integration with square footprint versions of the exemplary containers described herein. With the triple-spout arrangement, all three caps could cover an opening or caps 139' and 139" (or just one of them) could be "dummies" used for vertical connectivity but offering no access to fill container 138 while cap 139 covers the actual access opening for filling and pouring of contents.
  • channels 194 from a bottom end 186 receive ridges 192 from a top end 184 of a container stacked underneath.
  • the position of ridges and channels can be reversed, i.e., with the channels in the pyramidal tops and the ridges on the corresponding pyramidal bottoms.
  • a container 182 may have channels 194 bisecting both top end and bottom end pyramidal portions. This modification could be used to create increase the number of tie points for a container by guiding a wire, twine, or other type of cord for through a channel and around the top cap anchor to an outside or inside wall surface.
  • Additional grooves 210', 212', and 214' provide the ability to interlock with connecting containers at an approximate 50% offset, which creates greater flexibility in shelter construction designs and maximizes strength when doubling a horizontal thickness such as for retaining walls and defensive bulwarks.
  • This 50% offset handle and groove design allow a departure from container 2 that allows for only right angles and straight lines for construction. Further, the additional handles and grooves can enhance a living space by providing a greater number of exterior and interior elements on which to attach wall coverings and other useful items.
  • each octagonal container has a single connection tongue or wedge and between one and seven recessed grooves formed along an equivalent number of side walls.
  • Figure 27 shows a cross- sectional view of an exemplary octagonal modular container 235.
  • connection wedge (which alternatively could be a handle) 241 is formed on side wall 243 and a recessed connection groove 239 is formed on side wall 237.
  • An example of interconnection of a group of modular containers similar to 235 is also shown in Figure 27, where exemplary containers 235, 245, 247, and 249 connect using the wedge-in-groove mechanism.
  • Interconnected octagonal containers may be connected with any of the wedge, handle, and groove elements described in the embodiments, and their equivalents.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un contenant à verrouillage mutuel modulaire pouvant être adapté à une échelle avec une utilisation à usage multiple. Une interconnectivité verticale et horizontale est obtenue à l'aide de mécanismes de verrouillage mutuel. Un premier exemple d'utilisation est celui du transport et/ou du stockage de liquides ou de solides qui peuvent être versés. Un deuxième exemple d'utilisation est celui d'un matériau de bloc de bâtiment robuste, de faible coût et facile à assembler de nature normalisée. Chaque unité modulaire se verrouille latéralement avec d'autres unités de façon à former des structures de paroi et de bâtiment robustes qui peuvent être remplies de terre naturelle, de sable et d'autres matériaux de ce type, de façon à former ainsi une structure robuste sans l'utilisation de mortier, et peut s'adapter à des surfaces de base irrégulières que l'on trouve typiquement dans un terrain naturel.
