Description

Drum.

The present invention relates to a drum.

Background of the invention

Drums used for the transport of all types of goods, especially liquids, suspended solids, etc. These drums are usually arranged on platforms such as pallets, which allow transport by forklifts or similar devices.

Sometimes, in order to avoid falls of the drums of the platforms, these are fixed to them by various types of joining means. Some of these means Binding consist of strapping or packing tapes. I also know They know drums designed to be arranged on plastic pallets provided with some housings for the drums, which once placed are screwed to the pallet.

The described drums have the drawback that it is necessary to have independent pallets or platforms to transport them, and means to fix the drums to the pallet This implies an economic cost in obtaining pallets and a waste of time in the placement and fixing of drums in the same.

Description of the invention

The objective of the present invention is solve the inconveniences of the devices known in the art, providing a drum for transport of goods comprising a single body that includes a container in which the merchandise is housed and a base for support of said container, characterized by the fact that the base it comprises at least one housing for introduction therein of the blades of a lifting and transport device.

Thanks to these characteristics, the drum of the invention can be transported without using any type of pallet. The can can be lifted and transported introducing the blades of a lifting and transport device in the accommodations provided at its base.

In the present invention, it will be understood by a lifting and transport device any type of device intended for the transfer or handling of goods for storage or similar, either manual or automatic, such as A forklift.

Preferably, the at least one housing it comprises at least one recess in the lower surface of the base.

Advantageously, the at least one accommodation it comprises at least one hole that extends through the base.

These housings allow the drum to be lifted by various types of forklifts or similar devices, and that the drum is well seated in the wheelbarrow shovels.

According to the present invention, the container It comprises a top opening and a lid.

Preferably, the top cover comprises the less an opening and at least one lid smaller than the lid higher. This allows inspection or inspection operations. shaking and mixing the merchandise without having to open the lid higher.

Advantageously, the top surface of the lid upper comprises a form substantially complementary to that of the bottom surface of the drum base for stacking the drum. In this way, several drums can be safely stacked one on top of the other fitting their top caps with their  lower surfaces.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the container comprises an opening and a lid on the part bottom of the base.

This lower opening allows emptying the Canister contents quickly and conveniently.

Preferably, the drum base is wider than the container This gives the drum greater stability and makes more difficult a possible overturn of it.

Brief description of the drawings

In order to facilitate the description of how much It has been exposed above are attached some drawings in which, schematically and only by way of non-limiting example, represents a practical case of realization of the drum of the invention, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the drum of the invention;

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the bottom of the drum of the invention;

Figure 3 is an exploded view of the drum of the invention.

Description of a preferred embodiment

As can be seen in the figures, the drum 1 of the invention comprises a single body having a upper part constituting a cylindrical container 2 in which the merchandise to be transported is housed, and a lower part that it constitutes a base 3 of substantially quadrangular plant.

The base 3 comprises a recess or recess 4 in its lower surface 7 defining a free space between base 3 and the support surface of the drum 1, and holes 5 that are extend substantially parallel to the surface bottom 7 of base 3 on two of its sides.

The function of said entrant 4 and of said holes 5 are used to serve as a reception area for the blades or horns of a forklift (not shown) or of a similar device for lifting and transporting the drum 1.

Thanks to incoming 4, drum 1 can be picked up and raised by introducing the shovels of a wheelbarrow manual or automatic lift by 6 side entrances of the incoming 4. Drum 1 can also be collected by entering truck shovels through holes 5.

In the embodiment shown, the blades of the wheelbarrow could be arranged inside the entrances 6 lateral and of the central part of the entrant 4, or through of the holes 5. In this way, the drum 1 is well seated on the shovels of the forklift, and avoid possible movements or sliding of drum 1 that could cause a fall of it.

As can be seen, base 3 is configured as a pallet, which allows the drum 1 to be manipulated in the same way as the usual drums arranged on pallets. To the the container 2 and the base 3 being constituted in the same body, drum 1 can be transported independently and very much Safer.

Base 3 may have the same dimensions as a standard pallet, so that drum 1 can be stored next to other goods or in pallet spaces with measures normalized

Preferably, the base 3 of the drum 1 will be more wide than container 2, in order to make it more stable and prevent it from accidentally tipping over.

The container 2 of the drum 1 also comprises a upper opening 8 and an upper cover 9, which in the embodiment shown is fixed to the upper edge of the container 2 by a 10 perimeter strap. The top cover 9 may be provided with several openings 11, of smaller size, and of individual covers 12. These openings 11 allow inspection or stirring and mixing the contents of container 2 without it being you need to remove the top cover 9. On the bottom of your base 3, the drum 1 is also provided with an opening 13 and a lower cover 14 which allows the contents of the container 2 quickly and conveniently.

In order to stack several drums 1 securely over each other, the top cover 9 of the drum 1 has protrusions 15 on its upper surface intended to stay in the entrance 4 of the lower surface 7 of the base 3 of another drum 1 stacked thereon. Thanks to these features, sliding between drums 1 is avoided that could cause the fall of a drum 1 or the collapse of the battery

The drum 1 of the invention may be constituted by any type of material, although preferably Formed plastics will be used for manufacturing rotation molding. This manufacturing procedure allows forming the drum 1 of the invention in a single body shape relatively simple and economical.
