Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a stackable canister for the storage and transport of flowable material according to claim 1.
  • a canister which has a lower side, an upper side and at least one side wall connecting the underside and the upper side and defining the canister circumference, and a pouring opening which can be closed by a cap (5), the underside having spaced-apart base sections and the upper side receiving surfaces from the pouring opening (6) are spaced.
  • the top of this canister has a local maximum, which is followed by a pouring opening, wherein the underside has a pointing in the direction of the canister interior and spaced from the base sections depression, of which the receiving surfaces of the top and closed with the cap pouring a second identical canister at least partially receivable, wherein on the upper side on opposite sides of the pouring opening at least two boundary surfaces are provided which have a positive slope in the direction of the pouring opening, wherein the upper side between the boundary surfaces and a side wall portion extending approximately perpendicular to this side wall portion edge portion as a receiving surface wherein the receiving surfaces comprise at least 10% of the cross-sectional area of the canister
  • Such canisters are used for example for the transport and storage of chemicals, pesticides and / or fertilizers.
  • they often have on their upper side laterally arranged beads which project upwards beyond a pour spout and form a receiving surface or base for a canister to be stacked above it.
  • this entails the drawback that the liquid contained in such a canister, even if the canister is turned upside down, partially collects in the depressions formed by the beads in this position. The canister is therefore not completely emptied and there is always a residue of the contents in the canister.
  • the canister content is an environmentally harmful and / or hazardous product
  • the disposal of the product is not completely emptied Kanisters associated with a considerable effort and costs.
  • the consumer can not use a part of his purchased product, as this remains in conventional canisters in the canister. Particularly with comparatively expensive products, noticeable losses occur.
  • the above NL 6 707 947 provides a depression at the bottom of the canister. She is silent about whether the depression takes up the collection of an underneath canister with little play or not. Such a game can add up to a larger number of stacked canisters and lead to a tilting of the stack.
  • the present object is achieved by a canister having the features of claim 1
  • the recess (9) of the underside corresponding to first receiving surfaces (8) hereinafter referred to only as “receiving surfaces (8)", without “first" of the top (3) designed so that two identical canisters ( 1) equal to a key-lock principle, that is complementary and fit, are engageable with each other.
  • this local maximum during a pouring process corresponds to a local minimum on the inner surface of the upper side, in which the canister content collects or in whose direction the canister contents flow. This allows complete emptying of the canister contents.
  • the local maximum of the top must also be the absolute maximum or the only local maximum of the top, although this is generally advantageous. Another, far away from the pouring spout maximum will not prevent complete emptying when the container is tilted over one side and largely emptied and placed only shortly before the complete emptying upside down.
  • the local maximum is arranged and configured such that, in the case of a pouring operation, ie with a corresponding inclined position of the canister, the entire canister contents are directed in the direction of the pouring opening is movable. This avoids that a portion of the canister contents during pouring in other possibly existing local maxima of the top collects, as long as they are in the region of the relatively tilted when tilting the canister area of the top. If necessary, the transfer and discharge of a portion of the canister contents which has accumulated in a further local maximum of the top of the upside-down canister can also be achieved by tilting the canister back and forth.
  • a “local maximum of the top” refers to an orientation of the canisters with its footprint on flat, horizontal ground. Specifically, the local maximum refers to the inner surface of the top of the canister, located within the canister interior. If the upper side has a constant wall thickness, then a local maximum of the inner surface of the upper side simultaneously corresponds to a local maximum of the outer surface of the upper side.
  • a local maximum within the meaning of the invention also includes a saddle point, in which part of the canister contents can collect during a pouring operation.
  • the underside of the canister has a pointing in the direction of the canister interior and spaced from the base portions recess from which the local maximum of the top and the cap-closed pour opening of a second identical canister are receivable, a plurality of identically constructed canisters are stacked.
  • the multiple identical canisters can be arranged so space-saving and safe one above the other for transport and / or storage.
  • a plate for stacking, as in conventional canisters, is therefore not necessary in the canisters according to the invention.
  • the receiving surfaces of the upper side of the lower canister engage with corresponding surfaces of the underside at least in sections.
  • the receiving surfaces of the lower canister engage with the base surfaces and with the surfaces of the upper canister delimiting the underside of the underside. The weight of the upper canister is thus distributed over the corresponding receiving surfaces on the lower canister.
  • a cap means any device with which the pouring opening of the canister can be closed in such a way that the canister contents can not escape through the closed pouring opening.
  • a cap can be a screw cap, a stopper or a seal, the latter also being able to be glued onto the pouring opening.
  • a closure seal sometimes under a (screw) cap additionally provided a closure seal.
  • the canister may have a rectangular or other polygonal or even a circular cross section in a plan view of the upper side.
  • Canisters with a rectangular cross-section can be particularly space-saving next to each other and arranged one above the other, so that a high packing density can be achieved.
  • At least two receiving surfaces which have a positive gradient in the direction of the pouring opening, are provided on the upper side on opposite sides next to the pouring opening.
  • the receiving surfaces interact with corresponding surfaces on the underside of a similar canister, so that the two canisters are stacked securely on top of each other. If the receiving surfaces have a positive slope in the direction of the pouring opening, the contents of the canister can only be moved along the inner surface of the receiving surfaces during a pouring process Flow direction of the pouring opening. If the receiving surfaces are arranged on at least two opposite sides of the pouring opening, this causes a symmetrical load distribution when stacking canisters of identical construction.
  • the canister contents may flow from each of these sides toward the pouring spout.

  • the upper side between the pouring opening and the nearest side wall section has an edge section extending approximately perpendicular to the side wall section as a further receiving surface. This edge portion can be brought into engagement with corresponding surface portions of the bottom of a similar canister, so that they can be stably stacked.
  • the peripheral edge portion when the peripheral edge portion extends circumferentially along part of the circumference, preferably along more than one third of the circumference, a canister having the same configuration and footprint portions appropriately formed on the bottom surface can be securely placed on the peripheral portion of a canister disposed thereunder.

  • the canister has a handle connected to the upper side, which can form an additional receiving surface, which is provided for engagement with a complementary surface in a recess on the underside of another, similar to be stacked canister is.
  • An additional receiving surface causes the weight force acting on the top of a canister to be distributed more evenly.
  • the top of the cap, with which the pouring spout is closed, may be part of the additional receiving surface in one embodiment.
  • the entire receiving surface is enlarged in this way, so that the weight is distributed more evenly on the top of each canister.
