Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nestable container and in particular but not exclusively to frusto-conical, metal containers that are configured to nest when empty but that are capable of being stacked when filled.
- the container In order to allow frusto-conical containers to be nested so that they can be readily separated the container is usually provided with a nesting bead.
- This bead is a continuous annular protrusion or projecting flute that is formed around the circumference of the side wall of the container a predetermined distance from its upper rim. The bead facilitates separation of two nested containers by preventing the inner container from nesting completely within the outer as the inner container can only slide into the outer container until its annular bead contacts an upper rim or lip, known as a body curl in this field, of the outer container. This enables the two containers to be separated easily without distortion.
- the bead reduces the load-bearing capacity of the side wall of the container above the bead.
- a balance has to be struck because increasing the thickness of the metal from which the container is made to make the container stronger increases both the weight and the cost of the container.
- GB2075462 discloses a metal container with a perimeter bead formed in its side wall.
- An aim of the present invention is to provide a nestable container, in particular one fabricated from sheet metal that overcomes or substantially mitigates the aforementioned stacking problems.
- a nestable container having a side wall, characterized in that it is in the form of a frusto-conical drum with a body curl defined by a rolled top edge and in that the side wall is provided with a plurality of discrete protrusions spaced around a perimeter of the side wall's outer surface.
- the protrusions comprise dimples pressed outwardly from the side wall.
- the side wall comprises an annular bead or annular bead portions that are located between the lower edges of the protrusions and the body curl of the container and that are shallower than the protrusions.
- the container is fabricated from sheet metal that is 0.5mm or more in thickness and advantageously comprises a one-piece or two-piece, frusto-conical drum.
- a nestable container 1 in accordance with the present invention comprises a side wall 2 that defines a body curl 3, provided with a rolled edge or lip as shown in Figs. 1 and 5 , and that is connected to a base 4.
- a container 1 may be fabricated from sheet metal, such as rolled sheet steel, that is 0.5mm or more in thickness and is preferably between 0.5 mm and 0.9mm thick. With these techniques, however, it is possible that containers 1 may be fabricated from sheet metal that is below 0.5mm in thickness.
- the container 1 is in the form of a frusto-conical drum with a body curl 3 defined by a rolled top edge.
- the side wall 2 is provided with a plurality of discrete protrusions 5 that are spaced around a perimeter of the side wall's outer surface.
- the protrusions 5 are preferably identical, evenly spaced and have lower edges 6 located a fixed distance H from the body curl 3, that is the protrusion are all arranged at the same height above the base 4 around the side wall 2.
- the container 1 is made in a one piece or two piece construction and the protrusions 5 comprise dimples that have been pressed outwardly from the side wall 2 to a predetermined depth D, as shown in Fig. 2b . It will be appreciated that this is readily accomplished when the container 1 is made from a pressable material such as sheet metal and is a cost effective method of providing the protrusions 5.
- the distance H should be the same for all of the protrusions 5 to ensure even nesting but it will be appreciated that the height H and size of the protrusions 5, in particular the depth D to which they protrude from the outer surface of the side wall 2 is determined by the size of the container 1 and the angle that the side walls 2 make with the base 4.
- the depth D of each protrusion 5 is at least 4 mm, which is a little less, but still comparable with, that of the annular bead used in conventional containers.
- the depth D of each protrusion 5 is only limited by the need to stop the nestable containers 1 from being fully nested and becoming stuck.
- each protrusion 5 is preferably one that defines a lower edge 6 which provides a ledge that can bear on the body curl 3 of an outer container 1 when nested rather than being in the form of a point.
- the shape of the protrusion 5 is not critical and many different shapes are possible.
- each protrusion 5 has a peripheral shape that is substantially trapezoidal or rectangular and has a cross-sectional profile that is in the shape of half of a teardrop as shown in Figs. 2a and 2b respectively. Such a shape can be readily stamped or pressed into the sheet metal from which the wall 2 of the container 1 may be made.
- Each such protrusion 5 preferably has a longitudinal axis orientated upwardly with respect to the container 1, that is substantially in line with the longitudinal axis of the container as shown in Fig. 1 and schematically in Fig. 3 .
- each protrusion 5 it is also possible for each protrusion 5 to have its longitudinal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the container and aligned with a ring around the perimeter of the outer wall surface on which it is formed, as shown schematically in Fig. 4 .
- a second embodiment of container 10 is shown in Fig. 5 .
- This is similar to the first embodiment of container 1 in that a plurality of protrusions 11 is spaced around the perimeter of its side wall 12.
- the side wall 12 comprises an annular bead 13 that is located between lower edges 14 of the protrusions 11 and a body curl 15 of the container 10.
- the maximum depth of the bead 13 is shallower than the depth D of the protrusions 11.
- the bead 13 intersects the protrusions 11 so that bead portions link the protrusions 11 rather than the bead 13 being located above the protrusions and closer to the body curl 15.
- the bead 13 may be continuous or interrupted by the protrusions 11 dependent on the shape and depth of the protrusions 11 at the regions where the two intersect.
- the annular bead 13 is preferably pressed outwardly from the side wall 12 when the container 1 is made from a pressable material such as sheet metal.
- the bead 13 preferably has a part-circular cross-sectional profile and projects by at least 2 mm at its maximum height from the side wall 12.
- containers 1 with discrete protrusions 5 withstand compression loads better than conventional containers with continuous annular beads because the side wall 2 of the container 1 is geometrically uninterrupted and straight between the base and the rim of the container around most of its periphery between the protrusions 5. This increases the load bearing capability of the side wall 2 and therefore of the container 1 as a whole. Also, when the compression load is such that the container 1 starts to yield it has been found that it does not collapse catastrophically in the same way as a conventional container with a continuous annular bead but retains its integrity therefore making such containers much safer to use. Hence, to provide a container in accordance with the invention with the same compression strength as a conventional container, the wall thickness of the container can be reduced, thereby saving materials and cost.
- the use of the protrusions 5, 11 enables the containers 1, 10 to be nested more evenly, with a better nesting definition so that they can be more easily separated when required. Also, the use of the protrusions 5, 11 when pressed outwardly from the side wall 2, 12 of the container 1, 10 does not reduce the height of the container 1, 10 to the same extent as a conventional annular bead. This slightly increases the capacity of the container 1, 10 with consequent cost savings.
