  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a container 1 of the present invention is used for storing and transporting powders, granules, liquids, and the like, and is configured with a container body 10 supported by a container support member 2. An openable and closable lid (not shown), a stirrer, and the like are installed at the upper part of the container body 10 to form an upper opening 11 that is sealed when used, and the lower part is discharged using a valve (not shown). A lower opening 12 connected to the portion is formed. The container body 10 has a tapered shape in which the upper part is a rectangular parallelepiped and the lower part is a quadrangular pyramid upside down. However, the container body 10 is not limited to such a shape and form, and is rectangular, cylindrical, etc. Various known shapes and forms can be used.

  The container support member 2 is a member that supports the container main body 10, and extends upward from the pedestal portion 3 that directly contacts the installation surface on which the container 1 is installed, and the upper surface 37 of the pedestal portion 3, and directly supports the container main body 10. A book column 4 is provided.

  The pedestal portion 3 is made to correspond to the shape of the container body 10, and four linear pedestal members 30 are welded to the container body 10 having a square shape in plan view to form a rectangular frame shape in plan view. doing. The pedestal member 30 may be a solid rod-like body, but is preferably formed of a hollow pipe in order to reduce the weight of the pedestal portion 3 or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pedestal member 30 has side surfaces 33, 33 that extend upward from both the upper surface 31, the bottom surface 32, and both ends of the bottom surface 32, and contact the side edges of the upper surface 31 at the upper ends. 33 is formed in a planar shape, the entire upper surface 31 is formed in a convex shape upward, and the entire upper surface 37 of the pedestal part 3 is formed in a convex shape in the upward direction. The side surface 33 may not be perpendicular to the bottom surface 32.

  Thus, since the upper surface 37 of the base part 3 is formed in a convex shape upward, a horizontal plane and a recess are not formed on the upper surface 37. Therefore, water drains well and water and dirt do not accumulate on the upper surface 37 of the pedestal 3. Moreover, when welding the base part 3 and the support | pillar 4, it can make it difficult to produce distortion in the upper surface 31 of the base part 3 with the heat of welding.

  The convex shape of the pedestal member 30 is not limited to these, but as shown in FIG. 3, an arc shape (a) as a convex curved surface having a longitudinal cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the pedestal member 30. Or an elliptic arc shape (b), an isosceles triangle shape (c), a triangle shape (d) in which the lengths of the two sides are different, and a shape (e) in which an arc and a straight line are combined.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (f), the pedestal member 30 may have a shape in which the convex upper surface 31 rises from both ends of the bottom surface 32 without having a side surface. In this case, the shape of the upper surface 31 is also a longitudinal cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the pedestal member 30, and an arc shape, an elliptical arc shape, an isosceles triangle shape, a triangle shape having different two side lengths, and an arc and a straight line are combined. It can be set as the shape which was made.

  Further, although not shown, the pedestal portion 3 may be constructed such that an auxiliary rod is installed between the pedestal members 30 to increase the strength of the pedestal portion 3 and the support member 2. In this case, similarly to the pedestal member 30, the auxiliary bar also has a top surface formed in a convex shape, and the top surface 37 of the pedestal portion 3 is formed in a convex shape. Moreover, although it is desirable for the pedestal member 30 and the auxiliary rod to have a flat bottom surface in order to improve stability, a member having a circular longitudinal section may be used. The upper surface in this case means a portion seen in a plan view.

  As shown well in FIGS. 1 and 2, the support column 4 is fixed to the four corners of the pedestal portion 3 by fixing the lower end of the support column 4 to the upper surface 31 of the pedestal member 30 by welding or the like. It is installed. The column 4 may be a solid rod-like body, but is preferably formed of a hollow pipe for weight reduction or the like. Moreover, although a support | pillar with a circular cross section may be used, it is not limited to this shape, You may use support | pillars, such as a pillar with a square cross section, an L-shaped board.

  A support plate 41 corresponding to the shape of the container body 10 is provided at the upper end of the support column 4, and the four support plates 41 are fixed to the side surface of the container main body 10 by welding or the like, and the support body 4 is supported by the support column 4. doing.

  Further, as another embodiment of the container 1 and the container support member 2, the pedestal portion 3 is not the same shape as the planar view of the container body 10, but a frame body having a circular shape in plan view with respect to the container body having a square view in plan view, etc. May be. Further, the shape of the pedestal portion 3 is not limited to an integral frame shape, and may be divided. For example, the two pedestal members 30 are arranged in parallel without being connected to each end portion. A configuration in which the support columns 4 are installed, a configuration in which the three pedestal members 30 are connected in a U-shape, a configuration in which the four pedestal members 30 are arranged without being connected, and a configuration in which the support columns 4 are installed on the respective pedestal members 30 Etc. Further, the pedestal portion 3 may form a leg portion that protrudes downward on the bottom surface 32 of the pedestal member 30.

  The container 1 is not limited to the configuration in which the container main body 10 is fixed so as not to move to the container support member 2 as described above. A configuration capable of relative movement with respect to the support member 2 can also be employed. Specifically, the container main body 10 may be placed on the receiving plate 41 without fixing the receiving plate 41 and the container main body 10, and the container main body 10 may be detachable from the container support member 2. However, the container tilts the support columns installed on both ends of the same side of the base member 30 on the base portion 3 as described above, and fixes the tip ends of the support columns above the base portion 3. Thus, two opposing pairs of triangular support pillars are provided, bearings are provided at the respective apexes, and shafts protruding from the tank body are inserted into the bearings so that the container body is rotatably supported. You can also.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, the container support member 2 may be constructed such that a reinforcing beam 5 is installed between the columns 4 to increase the strength of the columns 4 and the container support member 2. In particular, when the container body 10 is configured to be detachable from the container support member 2 without fixing the container body 10 to the column 4 by welding or the like, in order to prevent the column 4 from being deformed outward, It is preferable to provide the reinforcing beam 5. As with the shape of the pedestal member 30, it is desirable that the reinforcing beam 5 has a convex upper surface. The reinforcing beam 5 may be a member having a circular longitudinal section.
