Description

  The present invention relates to a container used for transporting and storing, for example, powder products such as industrial materials, bulk products, and the like.

  Conventionally, a drum can has been used as a container used for transporting or storing a powder product, a lump product, or the like. The drums are usually made of steel, and can be arranged without gaps, and can be stacked on top (Patent Document 1). As a result, it is possible to store a large number of drums in a factory warehouse or the like using the space without waste.

  When industrial materials are needed, carry out the specified cargo handling work and place it on a transport vehicle such as a forklift, carry out the drum can from the warehouse, etc., or carry the empty drum can to the designated location in the warehouse, etc. I was drunk.

JP 2000-85971 A

  However, the empty drum can after taking out the contents from the drum can also take up space in the warehouse. Also, when transporting drums, it was inefficient to carry empty drums. In view of the above background, an object of the present invention is to propose a new type of container that can replace a drum can.

  The drum container of the present invention includes a cloth bag body having a bottom surface and a side surface extending upward from an outer edge of the bottom surface, and a plurality of side plates attached to the side surface side by side in the circumferential direction of the side surfaces, And can be folded so as to match. Here, the bag body may be made of a chemical resin, and the side plate may be made of a plastic cardboard.

  According to the configuration of the present invention, when the contents are not contained in the bag body, the side drums can be folded together so that the empty drum container does not take up space. Warehouse management costs and transportation costs can be reduced.

  The drum container of this invention WHEREIN: The said side plate may be accommodated in the bag-shaped accommodating part formed in the said side surface. By storing the side plate in the bag-shaped storage portion in this way, it is possible to realize a rigid side surface made of cloth on the outside.

  In the drum container of the present invention, eight side plates may be attached to the side surface, the bag body may have a substantially octagonal shape when viewed from above, or six side plates may be attached to the side surface. It may be a substantially hexagonal shape. The drum container can be appropriately folded by the configuration having eight or six side plates. In the case of having eight side plates, for convenience of explanation, if the numbers 1 to 8 are assigned clockwise to the eight side plates, the surfaces 1, 2 and the surfaces 6, 5 are overlapped, and the surfaces 1, 2, and 6, 6 The bag body can be easily folded by overlapping the surfaces 3 and 4 and the surfaces 8 and 7 connecting the two in a valley fold. In the case of having six side plates, for convenience of explanation, when numbers 1 to 6 are assigned clockwise to the six side plates, the surfaces 1 and 4 are overlapped, and the surfaces 2 and 3 and the surfaces connecting the surfaces 1 and 4 are combined. The bag can be easily folded by stacking 6 and 5 in a mountain fold. Further, since the drum container has a substantially octagonal shape in a top view or a substantially hexagonal shape in a top view, it has substantially the same shape as a conventional cylindrical drum can and can be used in place of the drum can.

  The drum container of the present invention may include a lid for covering the opening of the bag body and having the top plate facing the bottom surface. Here, the top plate may be made of plastic cardboard.

  For example, when the granular contents are put into the bag body by a hopper or the like, the center becomes higher. However, according to the configuration of the present invention, the opening of the bag body is covered by the lid having the top plate, so the upper surface of the drum container is flat Thus, the drum container can be stacked vertically as in the drum can.

  The drum container of the present invention comprises a string attached to the upper part of the side surface and a hook provided on the opposite side of the attachment position of the string across the center line of the bag body, to the opening of the bag body In the state where the lid is covered, the string is turned to the hook side through the lid, the string is tensioned and tied to the hook, and the lid is stopped with respect to the bag body. Good. With this configuration, the lid can be stopped on the bag body by tying the string to the hook. The center line of the bag body is a line extending in the vertical direction from the center of the bottom surface.

  The drum container of this invention WHEREIN: The said lid | cover is provided with the plane part containing the said top plate, the collar part extended below from the outer edge of the said plane part, and the hook_and_loop | surface fastener formed in the inner surface of the said collar part. Good. With this configuration, the lid can be easily attached to the bag body.

  The drum container of the present invention may have a belt wound around the side surface of the bag body. With this configuration, when the contents are put in the bag, the shape of the drum container can be reduced from being deformed due to the bending of the side plate.

  The drum container of the present invention may have a suspension belt used when lifting the drum container. With this configuration, the drum container can be lifted by pulling the suspension belt with a crane, a forklift, or the like.

  According to the present invention, when the contents are not contained in the drum container, the drum container can be folded, and the management cost and the transportation cost can be reduced.

Hereinafter, a drum container according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an external appearance of a drum container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The drum container 1 shown in FIG. 1 contains contents. The drum container 1 has a bag body 10 in which the contents are put, and a lid 30 that covers an opening at the top of the bag body 10.

  The lid 30 is fixed to the bag body 10 by hanging the string 18 attached to the side surface 12 of the bag body 10 in a cross shape. The string 18 is tied to a hook 19 on the side surface 12 of the bag body 10 through a notch 36 formed in the lid 30. Thus, the lid 30 is not only moved upward but not removed, and is prevented from rotating.

  The configuration of the drum container 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2A is a diagram showing the configuration of the bag body 10, FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view of the bag body 10, FIG. 2C is a view of the bag body 10 from above, and FIG. It is a figure which shows the bottom face 11 of the bag body 10. FIG. The bag body 10 has a circular bottom surface 11 and a side surface 12 extending upward from the outer edge of the bottom surface 11. The bag 10 is a cloth made of a chemical resin such as polypropylene. Created by sewing a rectangular web along the edge of a circular web. In one example, the circular bottom surface 11 has a diameter of 560 mm and the side surface 12 has a height of 880 mm, which is approximately the same size as a 200 liter drum.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, the side surface 12 is divided into eight bag-like portions by sewing. And in the bag-shaped part of each side surface 12, the rectangular side board 13 which consists of a plastic corrugated cardboard is put. Thereby, when viewed from above, the drum container 1 has a substantially octagonal shape as shown in FIG. The side plate 13 has substantially the same height as the side surface 12, and the drum container 1 is self-supported by the side plate 13, as shown in FIG.

  Reinforcing belts 14 and 15 are wound around the side surface 12 of the drum container 1. The reinforcing belts 14 and 15 are belts that prevent the drum container 1 from becoming large and deforming like a barrel when the contents are put into the drum container 1. By preventing the diameter of the drum container 1 from changing greatly in the vertical direction, the drum containers 1 can be arranged without gaps. In one example, the thickness of the reinforcing belts 14 and 15 is 70 mm, the position of the reinforcing belt 14 is 130 mm from the top, and the position of the reinforcing belt 15 is 230 mm from the bottom.

  The drum container 1 has a suspension belt 16. The drum container 1 can be carried by lifting the suspension belt 16 with a crane or a forklift. In the case of a normal drum can, the drum can itself cannot be transported by a crane or a forklift, and cannot be transported without using a tool such as a rope. The drum container 1 according to the present embodiment has the suspension belt 16 so that the cargo handling work is facilitated.

  The suspension belt 16 is a surface opposed to the side surface 12 of the drum container 1, and is sewn and fixed to a portion between the upper and lower reinforcing belts 14 and 15. Since the two reinforcing belts 14 and 15 are sewed and reinforced from above the suspension belt 16 sewn on the side surface 12, even if a large load is applied to the suspension belt 16, it cannot be easily removed. For this reason, a heavy content can be put in the drum container 1. The suspension belt 16 is not sewn above the upper reinforcing belt 14 (specifically, above the position indicated by the arrow 17). In one example, the length of the suspension belt 16 is 2240 mm.

  Four hooks 20 are provided on the side surface 12 of the drum container 1 at equal intervals to the height of the upper reinforcing belt 14. This hook 20 is a hook 20 for fixing to a device for putting contents so that the drum container 1 does not wobble when putting contents into the drum container 1.

  As described above, the string 18 for fixing the lid 30 is attached to the side surface 12 of the drum container 1. In one example, the string 18 has a width of 50 mm and a length of 1300 mm. The string 18 is sewn on the side surface 12 of the bag body 10, and the reinforcing belt 14 is further sewn from the sewn string 18 to be reinforced.

  FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the lid 30. The lid 30 includes a circular flat portion 31 that covers the opening of the bag body 10 and a flange portion 35 that extends downward from the edge of the circle. In one example, the diameter of the circle is 570 mm and the length of the flange 35 is 100 mm.

  FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the flat surface portion 31. The flat surface portion 31 is configured by sewing up and down two circular cloths 32 and 34 with a plastic circular top plate 33 interposed therebetween. The collar portion 35 of the lid 30 is created by sewing a strip-shaped original fabric having a width of 100 mm along the edge portion of the flat surface portion 31.

  The collar portion 35 is formed with cuts 36 for passing the string 18 for stopping the lid 30 at four locations. The string 18 on the side surface 12 of the bag body 10 is passed upward through the notch 36 of the lid 30 in a state where the lid 30 is put on the opening of the bag body 10 containing the contents. Further, the string 18 is crossed across the diameter of the lid 30 and then bent downward, and the string 18 is passed down through the notch 36 on the opposite side of the lid 30 and tied to the hook 19 in a tensioned state. . Similarly, the lid 30 is fixed to the bag body 10 by applying the other string 18 through the top of the lid 30 in the opposite direction.

  A color tape 37 is sewn on the collar portion 35 of the lid 30. A color tape 21 is also sewn on the upper portion of the side surface 12 of the bag body 10. The color tapes 21 and 37 are marks for alignment when the cover 30 is put on the bag body 10. By aligning the positions of the color tapes 21 and 37, the lid 30 can be covered in an appropriate direction in which the string 18 is passed through the cut 36.

  Fig.4 (a) is a figure which shows the bag 10 which does not contain the contents. Since the portion of the cloth connecting the rectangular side plates 13 arranged side by side on the side surface 12 is bent, the bag body 10 can be folded. Specifically, the surfaces of the upper two side plates 13 and the surfaces of the lower two side plates 13 are matched. In order to match the two upper and lower side plates 13, the two side plates 13 of the side surface 12 are valley-folded (folded inward). Since the bottom plate 11 does not contain the side plate 13, the bottom surface 11 does not hinder folding, and the bag body 10 can be folded as shown in FIG. The drum container 1 of the present embodiment has been described above.

  Since the drum container 1 of the present embodiment can be folded when no contents are contained, it does not take up space when not in use.

  Since the drum container 1 according to the present embodiment includes the eight side plates 13 on the side surface 12, the drum container 1 can be substantially cylindrical like the drum can. Moreover, as shown in FIG.4 (b), the drum container 1 can be folded up neatly.

  The drum container 1 of the present embodiment has a top plate 33 in the lid 30, and the upper surface of the drum container 1 can be made flat when the lid 30 is put, so that the upper surface of the contents placed in the bag body 10 is uneven. Even if there is, the drum container 1 can be stacked vertically as shown in FIG.

  In the drum container 1 of the present embodiment, the suspension belt 16 is sewn on the middle of the side surface 12 of the bag body 10, and a portion above the upper reinforcing belt 14, specifically, a position indicated by an arrow 17. The top is not sewn. Therefore, the collar portion 35 of the lid 30 can be positioned outside the side surface 12 of the bag body 10, and the lid 30 can be appropriately covered with the bag body 10.

  Although the drum container according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

  In the above-described embodiment, the lid 30 is fixed by hanging the string 18 on the lid 30, but the method of fixing the lid to the bag body 10 is not limited to the method of hanging the string 18. A hook-and-loop fastener may be formed on the inner side surface of the collar portion 35 of the lid 30, and a hook-and-loop fastener may be formed at a location of the bag body 10 corresponding to the hook-and-loop fastener 35 when the lid 30 is put on. Thereby, the lid | cover 30 can be fixed with a hook-and-loop fastener.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which eight side plates 13 are placed on the side surface 12 of the bag body 10 has been described. However, the number of side plates placed on the side surface 12 of the bag body 10 is not limited to eight. For example, the number of side plates may be 4, 6 or 10 or more.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the bottom portion 11 is circular has been described. However, the bottom portion of the drum container does not necessarily have to be circular. It may be a polygon such as a square, hexagon, or octagon. Further, the shape of the lid 30 is not limited to a circle but may be a square, a polygon such as a hexagon, an octagon, or the like.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the suspension belt 16 is sewn between the reinforcement belt 14 and the reinforcement belt 15 in the middle of the bag body 10 has been described. However, the suspension belt 16 crosses the bottom surface of the bag body 10. The hanging belt 16 may be sewn in the range from the middle of the bag body to the bottom surface. Thereby, the intensity | strength of the suspension belt 16 can be raised and it can respond also when the contents put into the bag body 10 are heavy. In this case, however, it is not possible to sew the portion above the reinforcing belt 14, specifically above the position indicated by the arrow 17, so that the suspension belt 16 does not interfere with the cover 30. preferable.

  The present invention is useful, for example, as a container used for transporting or storing powdered products such as industrial materials, bulk products, and the like.
