Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a large-volume packaging container made of flexible material, preferably of polypropylene fabric, with a rectangular footprint on which the packaging container stored in transport position, and four lateral surfaces and a ceiling surface for transporting bitumen, wherein footprint, lateral surfaces and top surface respectively by seams with the adjacent surface (s) are connected, each lateral surface having the shape of a rectangle and at least a first side length of the footprint is more than 80%, preferably more than 100% longer than the height of the packaging container, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the 2008/018878 A1 relates to a lifting bag for 24,000 pounds (equivalent to approximately 11.9 t) loading dimensions of 8 x 7 x 4.5 ft (equivalent to approximately 244 x 213 x 137 cm) or 8 x 5, 5 x 5.5 ft (approximately 244 x 168 x 168 cm) and with multiple straps.
  • the lifting bag is intended for bulk goods.
  • the container of US 4 963 037 A has on one side several narrow loops for lifting the container and straps and rings for stabilization.
  • the container of US 5,865,540 has a carrying strap which connects two opposite side edges of the top surface on the outside together and is as wide as the side edges are long. Length, width and height are approximately the same for this container.
  • bitumen was first filled into dimensionally stable containers for transport purposes, it has gone over for cost reasons to pack them by flexible containers such as small packages of cardboard or plastic film. But even this has proved to be uneconomical due to the small capacity of the small packages, which is why bulky packaging container made of flexible material for the transport of bitumen were used.
  • these large-volume packaging containers could hold a sufficiently large quantity of bitumen in order to make the transport economical, but on the other hand they were also very resistant due to their structure. They consisted and still consist of polypropylene fabric with a preferred specific gravity of 200g / m 2 .
  • an inner bag is provided, which is melted together with the bitumen at the destination.
  • each lateral surface has the shape of a rectangle and at least a first side length of the contact surface is longer than the height of the packaging container by more than 80%, preferably by more than 100% that the height is always less than 100 cm and in that at least one, preferably exactly one, first carrying loop is provided, which connects two opposite side edges of the cover surface to each other via the outside thereof and which forms a tunnel with the cover surface and the width of the at least one, preferably exactly one, first carrying loop or the entirety of the Widths of the support loops on the top surface is at least three quarters of the length of the two side edges, which connects them together, wherein the side edges are parallel to the first side length of the footprint, and a filling opening is provided in one of the two lateral surfaces, preferably in one of the two smaller lateral surfaces.
  • the specified ratio between a first side length of the footprint to the height of the packaging container causes an increase in the moment of inertia about the affected axis of inertia, while taking advantage of the available stability of the lateral surfaces, whereby a drop over can be effectively prevented.
  • Packaging container with the geometry of the lateral surfaces leads to a tuning of the packaging container such that the flow of bitumen does not affect the stability of the container, as in compliance with the inventive conditions or geometries, the strength of the material of the packaging container during the flow of the bitumen during the Transports occurring forces can easily without deforming stability endangering.
  • Particularly good results in terms of stability of the packaging container can be achieved if the length of the first side length is reduced in the range according to the invention with increasing volume of the packaging container. It has been found that in compliance with the features according to the invention, the embodiment of the lateral surfaces proposed as mandatory in the prior art as an isosceles trapeze or embodiment of the container as frustoconical is not required, which greatly improves the transportability. Additional stiffeners in the lateral surfaces are not necessary in a packaging container according to the invention.
  • At least one first / second support loop is arranged, which connects two opposite side edges of the top surface / footprint over the outside thereof, wherein the width of the at least a first / second carrying loop or the entirety of the widths of the carrying loops on the top surface / footprint at least three quarters of the length the two side edges, which connects them together.
  • the carrying loops thereby have sufficient rigidity and form a tunnel together with the top surface or the contact surface. As a result, the threading of a technical lifting means over packaging containers with less wide and thus less dimensionally stable carrying loops is facilitated.
  • exactly one first carrying loop is arranged on the cover surface, connecting two opposite sides thereof, and exactly two second carrying loop on the contact surface, also connecting two opposite sides thereof, both carrying loops with a width of at least three Quarter of the length of the two side edges.
  • the threading of a technical lifting means designed as particularly simple since the technical lifting means must be threaded only once per packaging container in the carrying strap.
  • contact area, the lateral surfaces, the top surface and the at least one first / second support loop made of identical material, which simplifies the production.
  • the support loops can also serve as points of attack for clamping or holding means when, as in the invention, a filling opening for filling bitumen in one of the lateral surfaces, preferably the two smaller lateral surfaces is provided. Due to the elongated, tubular configuration of the packaging container according to the invention, the arrangement of the filling opening in one of the two smaller lateral surfaces offers the advantage of a more stable filling possibility along the longitudinal axis of the packaging container.
  • each carrying loop may have a holding opening, preferably in the form of a holding lug, in which lifting means can engage in order to lift the packaging container or by pulling the carrying loops in respectively opposite directions, the filling opening in the lateral surface to open.
  • a particularly stable embodiment results when, according to the invention, a second side length of the footprint is more than 25%, preferably more than 50% shorter than the first side length of the footprint and at least equal to the height of the packaging container.
  • a further embodiment variant of the invention provides that two opposing lateral surfaces are interconnected by an intermediate wall which divides the volume of the packaging container into two chambers, whereby two smaller units can be filled into a packaging container, which brings advantages in the melting of the bitumen.
  • Fig.1 shows a known from the prior art large volume packaging container 1 for bitumen, which has a wide footprint and is narrowing with increasing height.
  • the lateral surfaces are trapezoidal and are provided for the purpose of additional stiffening with seams.
  • Fig.2 shows a filled inventive large-volume packaging container 2 consisting of a footprint 3, lateral surfaces 4 and a top surface 5.
  • Each lateral surface 4 has the shape of a rectangle, a square is therefore possible, so that forms a well stackable and transportable packaging container. Since the packaging container in Fig.2 filled, this bulges, so that the appearance appears that the lateral surface have no rectangle shape. However, these bulges arise due to the stretchability of the lateral surfaces. The rectangle shape can be seen particularly well when unfilled.
  • At least a first side length (10,11) of the footprint is more than 50%, preferably more than 80% longer than the height H of the packaging container, whereby the packaging container also has the stability required for the transport of bitumen, so that the Tough flowing bitumen even after filling the packaging container can not cause tipping over.
  • First and second carrying loops 6, 7 connect the respective opposite side edges 8 and 9 or 10 and 11, which are preferably the longer side edges of the contact surface / cover surface 3, 5.
  • First and second strap 6,7 are made of the same material as the packaging container 2 as such, namely polypropylene fabric.
  • from the symmetrical arrangement of the carrying straps 6,7 with respect to the longitudinal axis of the packaging container 2 results in easy Einfädelhus of technical lifting means, such as the fork of a forklift.
  • a filling opening 12 is formed on a lateral surface 4, preferably on one of the two smaller lateral surfaces of the packaging container 2.
  • each carrying loop 6, 7 has holding openings 13 in its end area facing the lateral surface 4 with filling opening 12, which can be designed as holding eyes and on which the packaging container 2 can be suspended.
  • retaining openings 17 may also be provided at the opposite end regions in order to improve the handling.
  • the filling opening 12 is covered by tabs 22, 23 which are formed above and which are formed on the lateral surface 4 having the filling opening.
  • the tabs can be brought by means of a closure 18 in a covering the filling opening 12 position.
  • one of the tabs 22 is provided with a loop 19 which can be fastened with a band 20 to a further loop 21, which is attached to a seam defining the lateral surface 4, which has the filling opening 12.
  • two mutually opposite lateral surfaces are interconnected by an intermediate wall 14 which divides the volume of the packaging container 2 into two chambers 15, 16.
  • two filling openings (not shown) are provided accordingly.
