Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container for the storage and transport of flowable material according to the preamble of claim 1 and a container system according to the preamble of the independent claim.
- canisters flowable material, in particular liquids with high or low viscosity, and / or free-flowing material or bulk material, in particular granules, can be easily stored and transported.
- a canister usually has a closable by means of a cap filling or pouring opening, which is rather kept small.
- the canister content is often in a more accessible container with a larger opening, such.
- canisters known in the art.
- a container according to the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed, which is attachable to a beverage container / glass or attachable.
- this liquid dispenser is filled with beverage additives or the like and serves to allow a user to add the liquid contained therein into a beverage and thus to be able to produce a mixed drink himself.
- complete leakage of the liquid in the liquid dispenser is possible only by manual squeezing of a user.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a container or canister that allows as complete emptying of the container contents in a bucket or in a second container, without having to be held by a human or a separate holding structure.
- a container or canister according to the invention serves for the storage and transport of flowable material, such as liquids or free-flowing bulk material.
- This has a container bottom, on which the container can be placed as intended, a container top and a Be Strukturerunter- and top connecting container side wall.
- a nozzle is integrally formed or formed, which is closable with a cap and having a filling or pouring opening.
- the invention is on the container top, adjacent to the nozzle, further cooperating with the nozzle abutment portion, wherein an imaginary line from the base of the abutment portion to the upper edge of the nozzle with the vertical axis of the container at an angle of 20 ° to 40 °, in particular of 25 ° to 35 °, particularly preferably 30 °, formed, in such a way that the inverted or upside down container, ie when the nozzle facing down, between the nozzle and the abutment portion self-locking or -klemmend or form-fitting fastened to a bucket edge or can be suspended in order to remain alone in a predetermined overhead position.
- the container according to the invention therefore need not be held by a person or a corresponding separate apparatus for emptying the contents into a bucket or other second container, but is designed such that the container in a certain position and / or position, in which the nozzle pointing downwards or into the bucket, can be loosened at the edge of the bucket and, above all, fastened without tools.
- the abutment portion is preferably designed so that it can pinch a bucket edge in terms of distance and / or shape in cooperation with the already existing filler neck of the container.
- the abutment portion and the neck are preferably designed such that the container is inclined to the container interior releasably fastened to the edge of the bucket. About the weight of the container or the torque acting on the container of the bucket edge between the nozzle and abutment portion is clamped.
- the container is preferably a container made in one piece from a plastic.
- the container sidewall may have the shape of a truncated cone so that the container can be placed in the bucket in which the container contents are to be evacuated and delivered together with it.
- the neck can be arranged on the edge side and the abutment portion between the container center and the neck can be arranged.
- the neck and the abutment portion may be arranged symmetrically with respect to a median plane of the container.
- the container may be formed in total mirror-symmetrical to the median plane. In this way it can be ensured that the center of gravity of the container is also located in this median plane when the container attached to the bucket edge. Thus, it can be prevented that the container tilts to the side or only needs to absorb moments in the container center plane.
- the container in the overhead position is loosely attachable to a bucket edge such that the container abuts with the neck on the bucket inner wall and with the anvil portion on the upper bucket edge and / or the bucket outer wall.
- an imaginary line from the base point of the abutment portion to the upper edge (portion) of the nozzle with the vertical axis of the container closes at an angle of 20 to 40 °, more preferably 25 to 35 °, more preferably of 30 °.
- the root of the abutment portion is the intersection of the abutment portion projecting from the container top with the container top.
- the container may have a handle formed on the container upper side, and the counter bearing portion may be formed on the side of the handle facing the nozzle.
- the handle gives the abutment portion equal to the necessary strength, so that the abutment portion is not in danger of breaking off.
- no separately trained projection must be provided, which again, z. B. when cleaning the container, disadvantages.
- the abutment portion may extend transversely to a median plane of the container passing through the stub and the handle. More specifically, the abutment portion is formed symmetrically to this center plane.
- the abutment portion may be inclined or cantilever-shaped towards the neck in such a way that an undercut retainer rim receptacle is formed between the stub and the abutment portion.
- the surface of the abutment portion facing the neck is curved such that it follows the course of a curved bucket outer wall when the bucket rests against the abutment portion.
- the larger surface contact between the bucket and the counter bearing section ensures that it experiences better lateral stabilization in the overhead position.
- the abutment portion may be inclined with respect to the vertical container axis such that the abutment portion rests against the bucket outer wall over its entire height. This achieves further stability of the container in the overhead position.
- a, in particular circular segment-shaped, groove-like Eimerrandage can be formed on the container top, which extends between the nozzle and the abutment portion.
- This groove-like receptacle serves to receive the bucket edge, whereby the bucket edge is also positively supported on both sides of the abutment portion on the bucket edge receiving on the container top. This will prevent the container from tilting or slipping so easily when placed over the top of the bucket edge.
- the groove-like rim rim receptacle on the container top is substantially perpendicular to the median plane formed by the stub and handle. If, however, the container is provided for fastening to a circular bucket, then the groove-like bucket edge receptacle has a corresponding circular segment shape.
- the width of the bucket rim receiving can increase from the center to both side edges of the container in each case.
- the groove or receptacle may be formed so that it can accommodate both straight and curved running bucket or container edges.
- the groove-like bucket edge reception can lie in a plane inclined to the container transverse plane or container surface plane by a predetermined inclination angle, in particular by an angle of 20 ° to 40 °, preferably from 25 ° to 35 °, particularly preferably 30 °.
- the angle of inclination of the bucket edge receiver should correspond to the tilt angle of the container.
- the neck and the abutment portion may be formed so as to protrude from the container top.
- the nozzle and the abutment portion can be formed by corresponding recesses in the container top (negative mold).
- the container for stacking identical or compatible container on its container underside having a recess which is designed such that it can completely accommodate the neck and the abutment portion and optionally the handle of a container stacked below.
- a recess which is designed such that it can completely accommodate the neck and the abutment portion and optionally the handle of a container stacked below.
- the recess may be arranged such that two containers stacked one above the other are rotated by ⁇ 90 ° to each other. This on the one hand achieved that the weight distribution is improved, and on the other hand prevents the liquids stacked containers, z. B. during transport, not synchronously slosh back and forth.
- the recesses on the container bottom which protrude into the container interior, namely prevent sloshing or swinging of the liquid in the transverse axis direction.
- the container may have two footprint sections separated by the recess.
- the recess on the underside of the container may have a shape or anti-slip, which forms a positive connection with the abutment portion or handle of the container stacked below. This prevents that the container does not slip laterally or in the longitudinal direction of the recess from the underlying container.
- two ribs formed on the container bottom and inside the recess and separated by a gap in the stacked state surrounds an intermediate handle and abutment portion of a container portion stacked thereunder on both sides.
- the upper container is held in a form-fitting manner on the lower container.
- the invention further relates to a container system with a container according to one of the preceding aspects and a, in particular slightly conical, bucket, wherein the container is designed such that, when in the overhead position and with the nozzle on the inner side of the bucket on the bucket edge of the bucket is placed, by itself in a predetermined, preferably inward or inclined towards the center of the bucket, overhead position remains.
- the container system according to the invention thus enables emptying of the contents of the container into the bucket, without having to use a separate holding device for this purpose or having to hold the bucket in the overhead position over the bucket. This ensures that the container emptied completely even in very viscous liquids in the bucket, without further handling steps of an operator.
- the angle of inclination between the bucket edge plane and the vertical container central axis in the predetermined overhead position is 50 ° to 70 °, in particular 55 ° to 65 °, particularly preferably 60 °.
- This angle of inclination is achieved taking into account the cone angle of the bucket by a corresponding design of the abutment portion. In this way it is achieved that the container is completely emptied without having to bring the container during the emptying process in different inclination positions.
- the bucket below the bucket edge on the outside have a peripheral lid edge, wherein the container in the overhead position with the anvil portion also bears against the lid edge.
- the container may be loosely attached inwardly to the rim of the bucket so that the center of gravity of the container when empty is vertically above the footprint of the bucket. This ensures that the container placed on the bucket does not tilt the bucket when it is empty or when it is full.
- the container system further comprises an insert which can be placed in the bucket and in turn can receive the container completely.
- Bucket and tray are configured to define a closed chamber for a second component therebetween.
- the insert can thus already for separating and / or sealing one in the bucket existing liquid or component and the canister. As a result, a so-called.
- Two-component container system is created.
- the canisters may be secured to the bucket rim of the bucket as described above and emptied into the second component.
- the insert when it is received in the bucket, can rest with a peripheral, projecting edge on an upper edge of the bucket or be attached thereto in a form-fitting manner, in particular hooked, so that the insert bottom is spaced from the bottom of the bucket ,
- the insert may be configured to define a fill volume for a second component between the bucket inner wall of the bucket and an outer shell of the insert.
- the Fig. 1 shows a container 2 according to the invention or canister, which is suitable for storage and transport of flowable or free-flowing material such as liquids or bulk material.
- the container 2 has a container bottom 4 or a bottom and a container top 6 and a container side wall 8 connecting the container bottom and container top.
- the container 2 is made in one piece from a plastic and has on its container top 6 an integrally formed filler neck 10 with a filling or pouring opening 12 and a likewise integrally projecting from the container side 6 and handle 14.
- the filler neck 10 and the handle 14 lie in a vertical center plane ME with respect to which the container is mirror-symmetrical.
- the filler neck 10 is arranged close to the edge of the container 2.
- the handle 14 is formed substantially bow-shaped or U-shaped and defined between itself and the container top 6 a handle opening 16.
- the handle 14 has a thickened ergonomically shaped holding portion 18 which respectively on both sides via thin-walled rib portions 20 and 22 on the container top 6 is connected.
- the filler neck 10 facing rib portion 22 has a the neck 10 facing reinforced or in the transverse direction spread portion 24, which to the vertical center axis A of the container 2 (see Fig. 2 ) is inclined by a predetermined angle a, namely to the filler neck 10.
- the reinforced portion 24 serves as an abutment portion according to the present invention and is connected to the thickened holding portion 18 via a horizontally extending reinforcing rib 26.
- the filler neck 10 and the abutment portion 24 jump the same distance from the container top 6 before or close at about the same height. Due to the inclination of the abutment portion 24, a (in the median plane) undercut Eimerrandability Scheme 28 is formed between the filler neck 10 and the abutment portion 24.
- the filler neck 10 has an external thread 30 to the container opening 12 with a (in the Fig. 6 shown) screw cap 11 or a cap to close tight.
- a circular segment-shaped groove 32 which leads to both sides to the container edge.
- This groove 32 serves to receive a bucket edge when the container 2 is placed upside down on this. From the Fig. 2 shows that the groove extends in a Nutebene NE, which is employed with respect to the transverse plane of the container 2 by an angle ⁇ . This angle is about 30 °, which corresponds to the desired tilt angle of the container 2 during emptying.
- At the bottom of the container 4 is a transversely to the median plane ME or in the transverse direction to the line of filling nozzle 10 and handle 14 extending and continuous recess 34, which provided for receiving a filler neck 10 and a handle 14 of a stacked below 90 ° stacked container 2 is.
- In the center plane ME are located in the recess 34 two spaced by a gap 36 vertical ribs 38, whose function will be described later in detail.
- the Fig. 3 shows the right side of the container 2 in the Fig. 2 , From the Fig. 3 is the center plane E to recognize along which the handle 14 and the filler neck 10 is arranged. Furthermore, from the FIGS. 2 and 3 to recognize the circular cylindrical or frusto-conical shape of the container side wall 8, which is why the container 2 according to the invention can be placed in a correspondingly large circular and slightly conical bucket.
- the Fig. 4 shows the container 2 in an overhead position in which the container 2 is tilted with its Grestutzenseite down. From the Fig. 4 Furthermore, the inclination angle ⁇ of the groove 32 to the surface plane of the container 2 is characterized.
- the angle ⁇ corresponds approximately to the angle ⁇ of an imaginary line from the upper edge 40 (the portion of the upper edge facing the abutment portion 24) of the filler neck 10 and the base 42 of the abutment portion 24.
- ⁇ ⁇ - bucket cone angle.
- a bucket 44 can be seen, which is slightly conical, has a circular cross-section and is provided slightly below the bucket edge with a lid rim 48 completely surrounding the bucket. If now as in the Fig. 4 indicated the container is rotated over the head and placed from the top of the bucket edge, so that the bucket edge 46 between the filler neck 10 and the abutment portion 24 engages and the filler neck 10 is within the bucket 44, so comes the outer top edge 40 of the filler neck 10th in abutment with an inner wall 50 of the bucket 44. The bucket edge 46 comes into abutment with the base 42 of the abutment portion 24 and the lid edge 48 comes into abutment with the abutment 24th
- the container can remain unattended to the bucket, without fear that the container or the bucket changes its position or overturns. From the Fig. 5 It can also be seen that the center of gravity of the container in the completely filled or even empty state is already vertically above the pail bottom or the footprint of the bucket 44, so that the full container 2 does not cause the empty bucket 44 to tilt.
- the Fig. 6 shows a partial perspective view of three containers stacked one above the other. In this case, each of the containers 2 located one above the other are rotated relative to one another by ⁇ 90 °.
- Fig. 7 shows a bottom view of the container 2 and its bottom.
- the bottom of the container 4 and the bottom has two spaced by the Stapelaus predominantlyung 34 shelf sections 52.
- the stack recess 34 has a central narrow portion 54 and flared portions 56 on both sides.
- the widened receiving portions 56 provide space for a filler neck 10 together with the closure cap 11.
- the ribs 38 surround the rib portion 22 of the handle 14 of a container 2 stacked thereunder and rotated at 90 ° between the anvil portion 24 and the thickened handle 18.
- the container 2 Since the gap 36 between the ribs 38 is approximately the width of the rib 22 in FIG Is the area of the handle, the container 2 is caught between the widened abutment portion 24 and the widened handling portion 18 and prevented from slipping. In the transverse direction, the container 2 is held by the lateral flanks of the recess 34.
- Fig. 8 shows a detailed partial cross-sectional view of two stacked containers with a section along the in the Fig. 2 drawn axis A.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter bzw. Kanister für die Aufbewahrung und den Transport von fließfähigem Material gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie ein Behältersystem gemäß dem Oberbegriff des nebengeordneten Anspruchs.The present invention relates to a container for the storage and transport of flowable material according to the preamble of claim 1 and a container system according to the preamble of the independent claim.
In Kanistern lässt sich fließfähiges Material, insbesondere Flüssigkeiten mit hoher oder geringer Viskosität, und/oder rieselfähiges Material oder Schüttgut, insbesondere Granulat, auf einfache Weise aufbewahren und transportieren. Dabei weist ein Kanister in der Regel eine mittels einer Kappe verschließbare Einfüll- bzw. Ausgießöffnung auf, welche eher klein gehalten ist. Vor dem Gebrauch wird daher der Kanisterinhalt oftmals in einen leichter zugänglichen Behälter mit einer größeren Öffnung, wie z. B. einen Eimer oder eine Wanne, umgeschüttet. Dies ist insbesondere dann erforderlich, wenn zwei oder mehrere Komponenten, welche miteinander chemisch reagierende Subtanzen aufweisen und daher getrennt von einander in zwei oder mehreren Kanistern abgefüllt und ausgeliefert werden, erst beim Verbraucher vor Ort zusammengemischt werden müssen. Beispielsweise sind in den Druckschriften
Beim Umleeren des Kanisterinhalts in einen leeren oder mit weiteren Komponenten gefüllten Eimer bzw. Wanne stellt sich oftmals das Problem, dass das vollständige Entleeren des Kanisterinhalts besonders bei zähflüssigen Materialien oft sehr lange dauert. Wenn man versucht, den Kanister kopfüber auf den Eimer zu stellen, dann kann es bei Eimern mit großen Öffnungen passieren, dass der gesamte Kanister in den Eimer fällt. Bei kleinen Eimern dagegen besteht die Gefahr, dass der Eimer samt Kanister umkippt. Um nicht über die gesamte Entleerungszeit eine Person abstellen zu müssen, welche den Kanister kopfüber über dem Eimer hält, sind auch separate trichter- oder siebförmig Halterungen denkbar, welche mit einem Gestell über dem Eimer platziert werden. Solche Gestelle sind jedoch oftmals nicht vor Ort bzw. müssten separat mitgeliefert werden, was nicht wünschenswert ist.When emptying the canister contents into an empty bucket or tub filled with other components, the problem often arises that the complete emptying of the canister contents, especially in the case of viscous materials, often takes a very long time. If you try to put the canister upside down on the bucket, then it can happen with buckets with large openings that the entire canister falls into the bucket. In the case of small buckets, on the other hand, there is a risk that the bucket, including canisters, will fall over. In order not to have to turn off a person over the entire emptying time, which holds the canister upside down over the bucket, separate funnel or sieve-shaped brackets are also conceivable, which with a frame above the Buckets are placed. However, such frames are often not on site or would have to be supplied separately, which is not desirable.
Aus der
Vor diesem Hintergrund besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, einen Behälter bzw. Kanister bereitzustellen, der ein möglichst vollständiges Entleeren des Behälterinhalts in einen Eimer oder in ein zweites Behältnis ermöglicht, ohne hierfür von einem Menschen oder einer separaten Haltestruktur gehalten werden zu müssen.Against this background, the object of the present invention is to provide a container or canister that allows as complete emptying of the container contents in a bucket or in a second container, without having to be held by a human or a separate holding structure.
Diese Aufgabe wird hinsichtlich des Behälters durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 und hinsichtlich eines Behältersystems durch die Merkmale des nebengeordneten Anspruchs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind jeweils Gegenstände von Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved with respect to the container by the features of claim 1 and in terms of a container system by the features of the independent claim. Advantageous developments are each objects of dependent claims.
Ein erfindungsgemäßer Behälter bzw. Kanister dient zur Aufbewahrung und zum Transport von fließfähigem Material, wie Flüssigkeiten oder rieselförmiges Schüttgut. Dieser weist eine Behälterunterseite, auf welche der Behälter bestimmungsgemäß gestellt werden kann, eine Behälteroberseite und eine die Behälterunter- und -oberseite verbindende Behälterseitenwandung auf. An der Behälteroberseite ist ein Stutzen einstückig ausgebildet oder angeformt, der mit einer Kappe verschließbar ist und eine Einfüll- bzw. Ausgießöffnung aufweist. Erfindungsgemäß ist an der Behälteroberseite, benachbart zu dem Stutzen, ferner ein mit dem Stutzen zusammenwirkender Gegenlagerabschnitt, wobei eine gedachte Linie vom Fußpunkt des Gegenlagerabschnitts zum oberen Rand des Stutzens mit der vertikalen Achse des Behälters einen Winkel von 20° bis 40°, insbesondere von 25° bis 35°, besonders bevorzugt von 30° einschließt, ausgebildet, und zwar derart, dass der umgedrehte oder auf den Kopf gestellte Behälter, d.h. wenn der Stutzen nach unten weist, zwischen dem Stutzen und dem Gegenlagerabschnitt selbsthaltend oder -klemmend bzw. formschlüssig an einem Eimerrand befestigbar oder einhängbar ist, um von alleine in einer vorbestimmten Überkopfstellung zu verbleiben.A container or canister according to the invention serves for the storage and transport of flowable material, such as liquids or free-flowing bulk material. This has a container bottom, on which the container can be placed as intended, a container top and a Behälterunter- and top connecting container side wall. On the container top, a nozzle is integrally formed or formed, which is closable with a cap and having a filling or pouring opening. According to the invention is on the container top, adjacent to the nozzle, further cooperating with the nozzle abutment portion, wherein an imaginary line from the base of the abutment portion to the upper edge of the nozzle with the vertical axis of the container at an angle of 20 ° to 40 °, in particular of 25 ° to 35 °, particularly preferably 30 °, formed, in such a way that the inverted or upside down container, ie when the nozzle facing down, between the nozzle and the abutment portion self-locking or -klemmend or form-fitting fastened to a bucket edge or can be suspended in order to remain alone in a predetermined overhead position.
Der erfindungsgemäße Behälter muss somit zum Entleeren des Inhalts in einen Eimer oder ein anderen zweiten Behälter nicht von einer Person oder einer entsprechenden separaten Apparatur gehalten werden, sondern ist derart ausgebildet, dass der Behälter in einer bestimmten Position und/oder Stellung, bei welcher der Stutzen nach unten bzw. in den Eimer hinein weist, am Eimerrand lösbar und vor allen Dingen werkzeuglos befestigt werden kann.The container according to the invention therefore need not be held by a person or a corresponding separate apparatus for emptying the contents into a bucket or other second container, but is designed such that the container in a certain position and / or position, in which the nozzle pointing downwards or into the bucket, can be loosened at the edge of the bucket and, above all, fastened without tools.
Der Gegenlagerabschnitt ist vorzugsweise so konzipiert, dass er hinsichtlich Abstand und/oder Formgebung im Zusammenwirken mit dem ohnehin vorhandenen Einfüllstutzen des Behälters einen Eimerrand einklemmen kann. Der Gegenlagerabschnitt und der Stutzen sind vorzugsweise derart konzipiert, dass der Behälter zum Behälterinneren geneigt lösbar am Eimerrand befestigbar ist. Über die Gewichtskraft des Behälters bzw. das am Behälter wirkende Drehmoment wird der Eimerrand zwischen Stutzen und Gegenlagerabschnitt eingeklemmt.The abutment portion is preferably designed so that it can pinch a bucket edge in terms of distance and / or shape in cooperation with the already existing filler neck of the container. The abutment portion and the neck are preferably designed such that the container is inclined to the container interior releasably fastened to the edge of the bucket. About the weight of the container or the torque acting on the container of the bucket edge between the nozzle and abutment portion is clamped.
Gemäß der oben beschriebenen Konfiguration ist es möglich, den Behälter derart über Kopf an einem Eimerrand befestigen zu können, dass dieser von alleine in dieser Stellung verbleibt und ohne weiteres Zutun der Behälterinhalt, selbst wenn er zähflüssig ist, sich in den Eimer entleert.According to the above-described configuration, it is possible to fix the container upside down on a bucket edge so as to remain in this position by itself and to empty the bucket without further manipulation of the contents of the container, even if it is viscous.
Bei dem Behälter handelt es sich vorzugsweise um einen einstückig aus einem Kunststoff gefertigten Behälter.The container is preferably a container made in one piece from a plastic.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann die Behälterseitenwandung die Form eines Kegelstumpfes aufweisen, so dass der Behälter in dem Eimer, in welchem der der Behälterinhalt ausgeleert werden soll, platziert und zusammen mit diesem ausgeliefert werden kann.According to one aspect of the invention, the container sidewall may have the shape of a truncated cone so that the container can be placed in the bucket in which the container contents are to be evacuated and delivered together with it.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Stutzen randseitig angeordnet sein und der Gegenlagerabschnitt zwischen der Behältermitte und dem Stutzen angeordnet sein. Durch die randseitige Anordnung des Stutzens und der Ausgießöffnung wird sichergestellt, dass bei entsprechend geneigtem Behälter das fließfähige Material vollständig über die Öffnung ausfließen kann.According to one aspect of the invention, the neck can be arranged on the edge side and the abutment portion between the container center and the neck can be arranged. By the edge-side arrangement of the nozzle and the pouring opening ensures that with appropriately inclined container, the flowable material can flow out completely through the opening.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Stutzen und der Gegenlagerabschnitt symmetrisch bezüglich einer Mittelebene des Behälters angeordnet sein. Der Behälter kann insgesamt spiegelsymmetrisch zur Mittelebene ausgebildet sein. Auf diese Weise kann sichergestellt werden, dass sich der Schwerpunkt des Behälters ebenfalls in dieser Mittelebene befindet, wenn der Behälter an dem Eimerrand befestigt wird. Somit kann verhindert werden, dass der Behälter zur Seite kippt bzw. nur Momente in der Behältermittelebene aufnehmen muss.According to one aspect of the invention, the neck and the abutment portion may be arranged symmetrically with respect to a median plane of the container. The container may be formed in total mirror-symmetrical to the median plane. In this way it can be ensured that the center of gravity of the container is also located in this median plane when the container attached to the bucket edge. Thus, it can be prevented that the container tilts to the side or only needs to absorb moments in the container center plane.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung ist der Behälter in der Überkopfstellung derart an einem Eimerrand lose befestigbar, dass der Behälter mit dem Stutzen an der Eimerinnenwandung und mit dem Gegenlagerabschnitt an dem oberen Eimerrand und/oder der Eimeraußenwandung anliegt.According to one aspect of the invention, the container in the overhead position is loosely attachable to a bucket edge such that the container abuts with the neck on the bucket inner wall and with the anvil portion on the upper bucket edge and / or the bucket outer wall.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung schließt eine gedachte Linie vom Fußpunkt des Gegenlagerabschnitts zum oberen (zum Gegenlagerabschnitte weisenden) Rand(abschnitt) des Stutzens mit der vertikalen Achse des Behälters einen Winkel von 20 bis 40°, insbesondere von 25 bis 35°, besonders bevorzugt von 30° ein. Bei dem Fußpunkt des Gegenlagerabschnitts handelt es sich um den Schnittpunkt des von der Behälteroberseite vorspringenden Gegenlagerabschnitts mit der Behälteroberseite. Durch das Winkelverhältnis von dem oberen Rand des Stutzens und dem Fußpunkt des Gegenlagerabschnitts wird die Neigung des Behälters, wenn er am Eimerrand kopfüber lose eingeklemmt oder befestigt wird, bestimmt. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass sich bei einem Winkel von 30° der Behälterinhalt am vollständigsten und am schnellsten entleert.According to one aspect of the invention, an imaginary line from the base point of the abutment portion to the upper edge (portion) of the nozzle with the vertical axis of the container closes at an angle of 20 to 40 °, more preferably 25 to 35 °, more preferably of 30 °. The root of the abutment portion is the intersection of the abutment portion projecting from the container top with the container top. By the angular ratio of the upper edge of the nozzle and the base of the abutment portion, the inclination of the container when it is clamped loosely at the edge of the bucket edge or determined, determined. It has been found that at an angle of 30 °, the contents of the container are most completely and quickly emptied.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Behälter einen auf der Behälteroberseite ausgebildeten Handgriff aufweisen und der Gegenlagerabschnitt auf der dem Stutzen zugewandten Seite des Handgriffs ausgebildet sein. Auf diese Weise wird ermöglicht, dass der Gegenlagerabschnitt am ohnehin vorhandenen Handgriff ausgebildet ist. Darüber hinaus verleiht der Handgriff dem Gegenlagerabschnitt gleich die notwendige Festigkeit, so dass der Gegenlagerabschnitt nicht Gefahr läuft abzubrechen. Darüber hinaus muss kein separat ausgebildeter Vorsprung vorgesehen sein, welcher wieder, z. B. beim Reinigen des Behälters, Nachteile mit sich bringt.According to one aspect of the invention, the container may have a handle formed on the container upper side, and the counter bearing portion may be formed on the side of the handle facing the nozzle. In this way it is possible that the abutment portion is formed on the already existing handle. In addition, the handle gives the abutment portion equal to the necessary strength, so that the abutment portion is not in danger of breaking off. In addition, no separately trained projection must be provided, which again, z. B. when cleaning the container, disadvantages.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Gegenlagerabschnitt quer zu einer durch den Stutzen und den Handgriff verlaufenden Mittelebene des Behälters verlaufen. Genauer gesagt ist der Gegenlagerabschnitt symmetrisch zu dieser Mittelebene ausgebildet.According to one aspect of the invention, the abutment portion may extend transversely to a median plane of the container passing through the stub and the handle. More specifically, the abutment portion is formed symmetrically to this center plane.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Gegenlagerabschnitt derart zum Stutzen hin geneigt oder auskragend ausgeformt sein, dass zwischen Stutzen und Gegenlagerabschnitt eine hinterschnittene Eimerrandaufnahme ausgebildet wird. Durch die Anstellung des Gegenlagerabschnitts zum Stutzen hin wird sichergestellt, dass der Eimerrand, wenn er zwischen dem oberen Rand des Stutzens und dem Fußpunkt des Gegenlagerabschnitts eingeklemmt wird, bei dem, insbesondere zur Eimermitte hin, geneigten Behälter nicht aus der Eimerrandaufnahme herausrutschen kann.According to one aspect of the invention, the abutment portion may be inclined or cantilever-shaped towards the neck in such a way that an undercut retainer rim receptacle is formed between the stub and the abutment portion. By the employment of the abutment portion to the neck out ensures that the bucket edge, if it is trapped between the upper edge of the nozzle and the base of the anvil portion, in which, in particular towards the bucket center, inclined container can not slip out of the bucket edge receiving.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann die dem Stutzen zugewandte (Anlage)Fläche des Gegenlagerabschnitts zur vertikalen Behälterachse um einen Winkel von 10° bis 20°, vorzugsweise um 15° geneigt sein.According to one aspect of the invention, the nozzle (facing) surface of the abutment portion to the vertical container axis by an angle of 10 ° to 20 °, preferably be inclined by 15 °.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung ist die dem Stutzen zugewandte Fläche des Gegenlagerabschnitts derart gekrümmt, dass sie dem Verlauf einer gekrümmten Eimeraußenwandung folgt, wenn der Eimer an dem Gegenlagerabschnitt anliegt. Durch den größeren Flächenkontakt zwischen Eimer und Gegenlagerabschnitt wird sichergestellt, dass er in der Überkopfstellung eine bessere seitliche Stabilisierung erfährt.According to one aspect of the invention, the surface of the abutment portion facing the neck is curved such that it follows the course of a curved bucket outer wall when the bucket rests against the abutment portion. The larger surface contact between the bucket and the counter bearing section ensures that it experiences better lateral stabilization in the overhead position.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Gegenlagerabschnitt bezüglich der vertikalen Behälterachse derart geneigt sein, dass der Gegenlagerabschnitt über dessen gesamte Höhe an der Eimeraußenwandung anliegt. Dadurch wird eine weitere Stabilität des Behälters in der Überkopfstellung erreicht.According to one aspect of the invention, the abutment portion may be inclined with respect to the vertical container axis such that the abutment portion rests against the bucket outer wall over its entire height. This achieves further stability of the container in the overhead position.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann an der Behälteroberseite eine, insbesondere kreissegmentförmige, nutähnliche Eimerrandaufnahme ausgebildet sein, welche zwischen dem Stutzen und dem Gegenlagerabschnitt verläuft. Diese nutähnliche Aufnahme dient zur Aufnahme des Eimerrands, wodurch der Eimerrand auch zu beiden Seiten des Gegenlagerabschnitts über die Eimerrandaufnahme an der Behälteroberseite formschlüssig abgestützt ist. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass der Behälter nicht so leicht kippt oder abrutscht, wenn der über Kopf an dem Eimerrand platziert wird.According to one aspect of the invention, a, in particular circular segment-shaped, groove-like Eimerrandaufnahme can be formed on the container top, which extends between the nozzle and the abutment portion. This groove-like receptacle serves to receive the bucket edge, whereby the bucket edge is also positively supported on both sides of the abutment portion on the bucket edge receiving on the container top. This will prevent the container from tilting or slipping so easily when placed over the top of the bucket edge.
Wenn der Behälter zum bloßen Befestigen an einer rechteckigen Wanne oder einem rechteckig ausgebildeten Eimer vorgesehen ist, verläuft die nutähnliche Eimerrandaufnahme an der Behälteroberseite im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu der vom Stutzen und Handgriff gebildeten Mittelebene. Ist hingegen der Behälter zum Befestigen an einem kreisrund ausgebildeten Eimer vorgesehen, so hat die nutähnliche Eimerrandaufnahme eine entsprechende Kreissegmentform. Um den Behälter an Eimern mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern befestigen zu können, kann gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung die Breite der Eimerrandaufnahme von der Mitte zu beiden Seitenrändern des Behälters hin jeweils sich vergrößern. Die Nut oder Aufnahme kann derart ausgebildet sein, dass sie sowohl gerade als auch gekrümmt verlaufende Eimer- oder Behälterkanten aufnehmen kann.When the container is intended for mere attachment to a rectangular tub or bucket, the groove-like rim rim receptacle on the container top is substantially perpendicular to the median plane formed by the stub and handle. If, however, the container is provided for fastening to a circular bucket, then the groove-like bucket edge receptacle has a corresponding circular segment shape. In order to attach the container to buckets of different diameters, according to one aspect of the invention, the width of the bucket rim receiving can increase from the center to both side edges of the container in each case. The groove or receptacle may be formed so that it can accommodate both straight and curved running bucket or container edges.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann die nutähnliche Eimerrandaufnahme in einer zur Behälterquerebene oder Behälterstellflächenebene um einen vorbestimmten Neigungswinkel, insbesondere um einen Winkel von 20° bis 40°, vorzugsweise von 25° bis 35°, besonders bevorzugt von 30° gekippten Neigungsebene liegen. Um den Behälter mit seiner Oberseite und in einer gekippten Stellung auf dem Eimerrand platzieren zu können, sollte der Neigungswinkel der Eimerrandaufnahme dem Kippwinkel des Behälters entsprechen.According to one aspect of the invention, the groove-like bucket edge reception can lie in a plane inclined to the container transverse plane or container surface plane by a predetermined inclination angle, in particular by an angle of 20 ° to 40 °, preferably from 25 ° to 35 °, particularly preferably 30 °. In order to be able to place the container with its upper side and in a tilted position on the edge of the bucket, the angle of inclination of the bucket edge receiver should correspond to the tilt angle of the container.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Stutzen und der Gegenlagerabschnitt derart ausgebildet sein, dass sie von der Behälteroberseite vorragen. Alternativ kann der Stutzen und der Gegenlagerabschnitt durch entsprechende Vertiefungen in der Behälteroberseite (Negativform) ausgebildet werden.According to one aspect of the invention, the neck and the abutment portion may be formed so as to protrude from the container top. Alternatively, the nozzle and the abutment portion can be formed by corresponding recesses in the container top (negative mold).
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Behälter zum Übereinanderstapeln baugleicher oder kompatibler Behälter an seiner Behälterunterseite eine Ausnehmung aufweisen, welche derart ausgebildet ist, dass sie den Stutzen und den Gegenlagerabschnitt und gegebenenfalls den Handgriff eines darunter gestapelten Behälters vollkommen aufnehmen kann. Auf diese Weise lassen sich beispielsweise zwei identische Behälter mit unterschiedlichen Komponenten in einem Eimer übereinander platzieren und können anschließend durch Entleeren der beiden Behälter die gewünschten Zwei-Komponenten-Mischung ermöglichen.According to one aspect of the invention, the container for stacking identical or compatible container on its container underside having a recess which is designed such that it can completely accommodate the neck and the abutment portion and optionally the handle of a container stacked below. In this way, for example, two identical containers with different components in a bucket place one on top of the other and then allow the desired two-component mixture by emptying the two containers.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann die Ausnehmung derart angeordnet sein, dass zwei übereinander gestapelte Behälter um ± 90° zueinander verdreht sind. Dadurch wird zum einen erreicht, dass die Gewichtsverteilung verbessert wird, und zum anderen verhindert, dass die Flüssigkeiten übereinander gestapelter Behältern, z. B. beim Transport, nicht synchron hin und her schwappen. Die Ausnehmungen an der Behälterunterseite, welche in das Behälterinnere einkragen, unterbinden nämlich ein Schwappen bzw. Schwingen der Flüssigkeit in Querachsenrichtung.According to one aspect of the invention, the recess may be arranged such that two containers stacked one above the other are rotated by ± 90 ° to each other. This on the one hand achieved that the weight distribution is improved, and on the other hand prevents the liquids stacked containers, z. B. during transport, not synchronously slosh back and forth. The recesses on the container bottom, which protrude into the container interior, namely prevent sloshing or swinging of the liquid in the transverse axis direction.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Behälter zwei durch die Ausnehmung getrennte Aufstandsflächenabschnitte aufweisen.According to one aspect of the invention, the container may have two footprint sections separated by the recess.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann die Ausnehmung an der Behälterunterseite eine Formgebung oder Rutschsicherung aufweisen, welche einen Formschluss mit dem Gegenlagerabschnitt bzw. Handgriff des darunter gestapelten Behälters eingeht. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass der Behälter nicht seitlich bzw. in Längsrichtung der Ausnehmung vom darunter befindlichen Behälter rutscht.According to one aspect of the invention, the recess on the underside of the container may have a shape or anti-slip, which forms a positive connection with the abutment portion or handle of the container stacked below. This prevents that the container does not slip laterally or in the longitudinal direction of the recess from the underlying container.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung können zwei an der Behälterunterseite und innerhalb der Ausnehmung ausgebildete und durch einen Spalt getrennte Rippe im gestapelten Zustand einen Zwischenhandgriff und Gegenlagerabschnitt angeordneten Verbindungsabschnitt eines darunter gestapelten Behälters zu beiden Seiten umgreift. Dadurch wird der obere Behälter formschlüssig auf den unteren Behälter gehalten.According to one aspect of the invention, two ribs formed on the container bottom and inside the recess and separated by a gap in the stacked state surrounds an intermediate handle and abutment portion of a container portion stacked thereunder on both sides. As a result, the upper container is held in a form-fitting manner on the lower container.
Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Behältersystem mit einem Behälter nach einem der vorhergehenden Aspekte und einem, insbesondere leicht konisch ausgebildeten, Eimer, wobei der Behälter derart ausgebildet ist, dass er, wenn er in Überkopfstellung und mit dem Stutzen auf der Eimerinnenseite auf den Eimerrand des Eimers platziert wird, von alleine in einer vorbestimmten, vorzugsweise nach innen bzw. zur Eimermitte hin geneigten, Überkopfstellung verbleibt.The invention further relates to a container system with a container according to one of the preceding aspects and a, in particular slightly conical, bucket, wherein the container is designed such that, when in the overhead position and with the nozzle on the inner side of the bucket on the bucket edge of the bucket is placed, by itself in a predetermined, preferably inward or inclined towards the center of the bucket, overhead position remains.
Das erfindungsgemäße Behältersystem ermöglicht somit ein Entleeren des Behälterinhalts in den Eimer, ohne eine separate Haltevorrichtung hierfür verwenden oder den Eimer in der Überkopfstellung über den Eimer halten zu müssen. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass sich der Behälter selbst bei sehr zähflüssigen Flüssigkeiten restlos in den Eimer entleert, ohne weitere Handhabungsschritte einer Bedienperson.The container system according to the invention thus enables emptying of the contents of the container into the bucket, without having to use a separate holding device for this purpose or having to hold the bucket in the overhead position over the bucket. This ensures that the container emptied completely even in very viscous liquids in the bucket, without further handling steps of an operator.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung beträgt der Neigungswinkel zwischen Eimerrandebene und vertikaler Behältermittelachse in der vorbestimmten Überkopfstellung 50° bis 70°, insbesondere 55° bis 65°, besonders bevorzugt 60°. Dieser Neigungswinkel wird unter Berücksichtigung des Konuswinkels des Eimers durch eine entsprechende Gestaltung des Gegenlagerabschnitts erreicht. Auf diese Weise wird erreicht, dass sich der Behälter vollständig entleert, ohne den Behälter während des Entleerungsvorgangs in unterschiedliche Neigungspositionen bringen zu müssen.According to one aspect of the invention, the angle of inclination between the bucket edge plane and the vertical container central axis in the predetermined overhead position is 50 ° to 70 °, in particular 55 ° to 65 °, particularly preferably 60 °. This angle of inclination is achieved taking into account the cone angle of the bucket by a corresponding design of the abutment portion. In this way it is achieved that the container is completely emptied without having to bring the container during the emptying process in different inclination positions.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Eimer unterhalb des Eimerrands außenseitig einen umlaufenden Deckelrand aufweisen, wobei der Behälter in der Überkopfstellung mit dem Gegenlagerabschnitt ferner am Deckelrand anliegt. Durch das Anliegen am oberen Stutzenrand, am Fußpunkt des Gegenlagerabschnitts und an der Fläche des Gegenlagerabschnitts wird eine ausreichende Kontaktierung und Abstützung des Behälters am Eimer erzielt.According to one aspect of the invention, the bucket below the bucket edge on the outside have a peripheral lid edge, wherein the container in the overhead position with the anvil portion also bears against the lid edge. By the concerns of the upper nozzle edge, at the base of the abutment portion and on the surface of the abutment portion a sufficient contact and support of the container is achieved on the bucket.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Behälter derart nach innen geneigt lose am Eimerrand befestigt sein, dass sich der Schwerpunkt des Behälters im leeren Zustand vertikal über der Aufstandsfläche des Eimers befindet. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, dass der auf dem Eimer platzierte Behälter weder im Leerzustand noch im gefüllten Zustand den Eimer zum Kippen bringt.According to one aspect of the invention, the container may be loosely attached inwardly to the rim of the bucket so that the center of gravity of the container when empty is vertically above the footprint of the bucket. This ensures that the container placed on the bucket does not tilt the bucket when it is empty or when it is full.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung weist das Behältersystem ferner einen Einsatz auf, welcher in den Eimer gestellt werden kann und seinerseits den Behälter vollständig aufnehmen kann. Eimer und Einsatz sind derart konfiguriert, dass sie zwischen sich eine geschlossene Kammer für eine zweite Komponente definieren. Der Einsatz kann somit zum Trennen und/oder Abdichten einer im Eimer bereits vorhandenen Flüssigkeit oder Komponente und dem Kanister dienen. Dadurch wird ein sog. Zweikomponentenbehältersystem geschaffen. Somit kann nach dem Entnehmen des Kanisters und des Einsatzes der Kanister an dem Eimerrand des Eimers wie oben beschrieben befestigt und in die zweite Komponente entleert werden.According to one aspect of the invention, the container system further comprises an insert which can be placed in the bucket and in turn can receive the container completely. Bucket and tray are configured to define a closed chamber for a second component therebetween. The insert can thus already for separating and / or sealing one in the bucket existing liquid or component and the canister. As a result, a so-called. Two-component container system is created. Thus, after removal of the canister and insert, the canisters may be secured to the bucket rim of the bucket as described above and emptied into the second component.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Einsatz, wenn er im Eimer aufgenommen ist, mit einem umlaufenden, auskragenden Rand auf einem oberen Rand des Eimers aufliegen oder an diesem formschlüssig befestigt sein, insbesondere eingehängt sein, so dass der Einsatzboden vom Boden des Eimers beabstandet ist.According to one aspect of the invention, the insert, when it is received in the bucket, can rest with a peripheral, projecting edge on an upper edge of the bucket or be attached thereto in a form-fitting manner, in particular hooked, so that the insert bottom is spaced from the bottom of the bucket ,
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann der Einsatz derart ausgebildet sein, dass er zwischen der Eimerinnenwandung des Eimers und einer Außenhülle des Einsatzes ein Füllvolumen für eine zweite Komponente definiert.In one aspect of the invention, the insert may be configured to define a fill volume for a second component between the bucket inner wall of the bucket and an outer shell of the insert.
