Description

Container.

The present invention relates to a container, comprising a handle that can be placed in a plurality positions.

Background of the invention

The containers for the collection of materials premiums or waste (construction, urban or industrial) currently known are difficult to transport and of to download.

Usually to transport them include some wheels and have to be pushed manually, and to unload them, for example, the use of a special vehicle is necessary, in which it is loaded with the container and the contents of the container in said vehicle, for example a collection truck of trash.

Therefore, the need for a container that can be loaded, transported and unloaded more comfortably, both manually and with other instruments known, such as a crane with hook.

Description of the invention

With the container of the invention are achieved solve the aforementioned problems, presenting other advantages that They will be described.

The container of the present invention is characterized by the fact that it comprises a handle, whose ends they can slide in a plurality of positions in two guide profiles provided on two opposite sides of the container.

According to a preferred embodiment, each of said guide profiles comprises:

- a vertical guide that defines a position of rest, an air transport position and a position of container disassembly;

- at least one inclined guide defining a unloading position and a safety position of the container, said inclined guide being connected to the vertical guide by a connection guide

Preferably, said guide profile comprises a second inclined guide also connected to said vertical guide through a connection guide.

Advantageously, the handle comprises an area of grip on top.

In addition, said handle comprises in each of its ends a pivot that can slide along said guides, and each guide profile comprises a removable plate for allow the removal of the handle.

The main advantage of the container of the present invention is that it can be transported by air (thanks to the grip area), unloaded (thanks to the profiles guide) and returned to the point of origin with the intervention of a only operator.

Brief description of the drawings

For a better understanding of how much has been exposed Some drawings are accompanied in which, schematically and only to non-limiting example title, a case study of realization.

Figures 2 to 7 are side elevation views of the container of the present invention with the handle placed on different positions in the guide profiles provided in their lateral.

Description of a preferred embodiment

As can be seen in Figure 1, the container of the present invention, identified in general by reference number 1, it comprises a handle 2 whose ends can slide in a plurality of positions in ones guide profiles 3 located on the sides of the container 1. For this slide, at 1 end of the handle 2 comprises a pivot 4. In addition, the handle 2 also comprises a grip zone 5 in its part higher.

Each guide profile 3 comprises a guide vertical 3a and a pair of inclined guides 3b, which are joined to the vertical guide 3a through two connecting guides 3c.

These guides define a plurality of positions, indicated and represented in figures 2 to 7. In Specifically, the positions are as follows:

- A: rest position (represented in the figure
ra 2);

- B: air transport position (represented in figure 3);

- C: pre-discharge position (represented in the figure 4) and discharge position (represented in figure 5);

- D: safety position (represented in the figure 6);

- E: disassembly position (represented in D figure 7).

The container 1 of the present invention can be Charge in two possible ways: manual or mechanically assisted. In Manual loading, one or more people can deposit inside from the container the materials to be transported. In the load mechanically assisted, container 1 can be loaded with the machinery assistance that can transport and unload the material to be transported.

The container 1 of the present invention can be transport manually, with hook transport machinery and with transport machinery with forks.

When transported manually, handle 2 of the container 1 is in the resting position A (figure 2) and the container 1 must be placed on a smooth surface, being able to slide on wheels (not shown in the drawings).

When transported with machinery transport with hook, handle 2 is in its transport position air C (figure 3), the hook engaging the grip area 5 of the container handle

When transported with machinery transport with forks, the handle is in its transport position air C (figure 3), the forks being engaged between the part upper of the handle and a bar 6 provided for it next to said upper part of the handle.

The container 1 of the present invention is designed to be downloaded only with the assistance of transport machinery with hook or with transport machinery with forks.

During the download, the container of the This invention only requires the assistance of an operator, which will be where you are handling the machinery.

The download is made as follows way:

First, he places container 1 within the discharge zone, being in its transport position Aerial B (Figure 3). Through the movement of the hooks or forks, the guided pivots 4 of the handle move from the air transport position B to pre-discharge position C (figure 4).

Then proceed to raise the handle in a vertical movement, forcing container 1 to dump its content, leaving handle 2 in its discharge position C (figure 5).

Once the container has been emptied and it is suspended in the air in the unloading position, the container outside the unloading zone and is deposited in the ground.

With a movement of the crane or machine with pins 4 pivots move until they are placed in the air transport position B.

Finally, the handle is raised again vertical, forcing the container to recover its position of air transport B.

The different ones will be described below. positions of handle 2 of container 1.

Resting position A (figure 2): In this position the pivots 4 are placed near the lower end of the vertical guide 3a. It is used during the charging phase of the container, being located on a flat surface and handle 2 Resting.

Air transport position B (figure 3): In this position the pivots 4 are placed at the upper end of the vertical guide 3a, and the container 1 does not rest on the ground. A crane hook or forklifts or similar vehicle hold the handle 2, leaving the container 1 suspended in the air.

Pre-discharge position C (figure 4): During container unloading process, the pivots 4 are placed in the upper end of the inclined guide 3b before raising the handle 2 vertically to force dump of container 1.

Discharge position C (figure 5): Also in this position the pivots 4 are placed at the upper end of the inclined guide 3b. The download is caused by unbalancing the container. Finally the container is suspended in the air and Your content is poured.

Safety position D (figure 6): In this position the pivots 4 are placed at the lower end of the inclined guide 3b. In order to prevent the pivots 4 not are correctly placed in the resting position and can slide to one side, a position has been designed of security in the guides. In this way, in the case that the container 1 is in an elevated and loaded place, being handle 2 raised vertically for air transport, the trend of pivots 4 will return to air transport position B, and not to the pre-discharge position C. This prevents container 1 from being downloaded from a high point, emptying its contents towards below and creating a dangerous situation for workers that can be found on lower floors.

Disassembly position E (figure 7): In this position the pivots 4 are at the lower end of the guide vertical 3rd. To facilitate the maintenance and repair of the container 1, a removable plate 7 has been designed (represented in figure 1) at the bottom of the vertical guide 3a. In the disassembly position E handle 2 can be separated with the pivots 4 of container 1.

Although reference has been made to a concrete embodiment of the invention, is evident to an expert in the matter that the described container is susceptible to numerous variations and modifications, and that all the details mentioned can be substituted by others technically equivalent, without departing from the scope of protection defined by the attached claims.
