Description

Palletizable container

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a container, intended for the transport of goods, which on the one hand determines a fully closed rectangular prismatic receptacle, with optimal protection for its content, which is also independent through internal compartmentalizing nests, and that on the other hand it also constitutes a pallet that allows its easy handling with the contest of a forklift or Similary.

The object of the invention is to achieve a container of great functional versatility and high resistance mechanical, with a minimum participation of material.

Background of the invention

Containers are known that combine a prismatic receptacle with a conventional pallet, so that confer on said pallet, maintaining the functional benefits of the same, those of a container that immobilizes its content with respect to said pallet. In this sense, it is worth mentioning the Model of Utility with publication number ES 1059661 U, in which a conventional wooden pallet is fixed a container also conventional cardboard, with its corresponding lid, without any type of internal compartmentalization.

This type of palletizable container, with independence of your configuration prismatic-octagonal, offers a low level of benefits, in particular as regards the protection of the products housed inside, as it is planned to bagged bulk products, capable of receiving significant blows no damage, but proving absolutely unusable when intend to house objects with certain fragility, which require due protection.

On the other hand containers are known compartmentalized, such as the one shown in the Model Utility with publication number ES 1059914 U, which maintaining the problematic of the previous case regarding the low level of protection for their content, they are also not palletizable, which It makes its handling very difficult.

In this same line it is also possible to mention the Model of Utility ES 1060140 U.

Description of the invention

The container that the invention proposes comes to fill the existing technical gap to date in this area industrial, constituting a solution of great mechanical strength and with optimal performance both from the point of view of manipulation as protection for its content, being in addition to detachable character allowing volumetric occupancy minimum in inoperative situation.

For this and more specifically the container which is recommended is constituted by the functional combination of several pieces, specifically a base plate, obtained by injection molding based on plastic material, which presents several peculiarities, first of all accommodations for nine-legged tongue and groove coupling base on a pallet, secondly a housing for armor metal that considerably enhances the structural rigidity of said base and consequently of the pallet, and thirdly a large profusion of drain holes.

This motherboard has on its upper face with a perimeter groove through which it is attachable inside a strip materialized in a tubular body, intended to constitute the side walls of the container, said strip being pluggable to the groove of the base and fixed with the collaboration of a ring perimeter that also fits into said slot.

On the base plate and prior to mounting the aforementioned belt is susceptible to the implantation of one or more nests, also materialized in tubular bodies of rectangular section, obviously of considerably smaller size.

The structure described is complemented by a top cover, with characteristics similar to those of the motherboard, but obviously lacking accommodation for the implementation of tacos in leg functions, and provided with a hinge that allows partial decoupling with respect to the upper mouth of the belt, with a partial opening of the container that facilitates the access to its interior without removing the cover complete.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined and in particular of figure 1, can be seen as the container palletizing that the invention proposes is constituted from a flat and rectangular contour base (1), injected into plastic, with a large profusion of drain holes (2) and with a series of housings (3) for tongue and groove coupling of respective legs or studs (4), provided with insertion males (5), slightly convergent towards its free limb, for its snap coupling on the complementary female elements (6) of the base (1).

The base (1) is also provided with a housing for tight coupling of a metal reinforcement (7), which It is represented in detail in Figure 10 and as shown this figure is also coupled between the studs (4) and the base proper (1), thus being immobilized and endowing said base of a high degree of mechanical resistance.

On its upper face the base (1) is equipped with a perimeter groove (8), particularly visible in the figure (11), intended to also receive by tongue and groove coupling to the lower mouth of a belt or belt (9) materialized in a tubular, foldable body, which in work situation adopts a rectangular prismatic configuration, said belt being able to (9) be simply inserted in the slot (8) and pressed with the collaboration of a perimeter ring (10), represented in detail in figure 6, ring (10) that has die cuts (11) that allow the optional coupling of fasteners for fixing both the ring as of the strip, not represented in the figures, but liable to settle in the accommodations (12) of which it is provided for this purpose the base (1).

As shown in figure (8), on the base (1) and internally with respect to the belt (9), can place one or more nests (13), materialized in turn in bodies tubular, as shown in figure 7, whose smaller walls have with short lower extensions (14) provided with grooves (15) numerically and positionally coinciding with the planned closures in the container, and for the parallel fixing of said nests (13).

As can be seen in the aforementioned figure 8, the nests (13) are substantially distanced from each other, so that between them independent, defined spaces are defined outwardly by the belt (9) and which constitute "nests" complementary.

Finally and as a complement to the structure described, the container is complemented with the lid (16), provided inferiorly of a perimeter groove (17) through which Attach the upper mouth of the belt (9).

The cover (16) is also obtained by injection molding, like the base (1), and presents the particularity that incorporates paths on its minor sides angular recesses (18) that converge on a line longitudinal weakening (19), so that it acts in the practice like a hinge that allows the partial opening of one of the two constituent sectors of the cover and delimited by said hinge for a partial opening of the container when this be necessary.

As can be deduced from the above, the different pieces integrated in the container are easily mountable / detachable, allowing storage and transport of said container is carried out in optimal conditions of use of available space.
