Description

CONTAINER FOR TRANSPORT OF PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY UNDER SHAPE

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a container for the transport of products, especially those in the form of coils, designed to be moved by means of cranes, forklift trucks, rolling bridges or container transporters.

A container for the transportation of various products, including those with a circular cross-section, in which the floor is equipped with folded cover plates, is known from US Patent Application US2003106822. In the closed position, the folding plates form a plan with the floor, which allows the transport of the products on pallets or the existence of a stable base. In the open position, the folding plates bring out the cavities located in the floor of the container, which provide two support points for the oval objects, placed horizontally. If the object is large in diameter, the support points are provided with bent folding plates which, in the open position, form an extension of the floor cavity. The disadvantage of the solution according to the invention is that the floor of the container must be thick in order to provide sufficient space for the deep enough cavities. Therefore, while maintaining the standard outer dimensions of the container, the volume of useful space inside is reduced.

In the patent application W02008107626 there is presented a container that supports a floor adapted for the transport of cylindrical objects. The container is equipped with sets of pivoting supports on the floor. The supports can be arranged perpendicular to or parallel to the longest axis of symmetry of the floor. In the closed position, the supports form a plane with the floor, while in the open position, they form a recess in the form of an inverted isosceles trapeze, which provides three support points for oval objects. In this solution, the mechanism that locks the supports in the open and closed position is located on the floor, directly below the supports. The container is also equipped with a rigid removable roof so that the products can be loaded and unloaded from the container with the help of a crane or a truck with a high lift fork. Since the supports for the oval objects are narrow, the line of contact with the object is small. Thus, to ensure high stability of an oval object, it is necessary to use at least two pairs of supports. in the case of an object

3 \ "2 Ο 1 4 0 0 8 0 6-t 3 -09- 2012 In short, the distance between each pair of supports may be too large for this object to be supported by two sets of supports. In addition, a system for locking the supports in closed and open positions is subject to rapid wear due to the relatively small dimensions on which large forces act in the case of heavy loads.

The object of the invention is the development of a container having a floor adapted for the transport of goods on pallets and of non-fixed objects, in cylindrical form, such as steel wire coils, to ensure a high stability for the transport of objects, regardless of their length, while still resistant to mechanical damage.

The essence of the solution, according to the invention, is a container for the transport of products, especially in the form of sheets, comprising a floor, two side walls, a front wall, two doors with a lock and a rigid roof that can be dismantled with a fixing mechanism, wherein the floor is equipped with at least one pair of pivoting supports with a locking system, grouped in at least one pair, located on its longest axis of symmetry, opposite to each other, which, in the closed position, forms a horizontal plane with the floor, while in the raised position, they form a recess. The solution is characterized by the fact that the pivoting support, which is part of a pair, is made of a folding plate, connected to the support of the folding plate, or from a wide folding plate, connected to the support of the wide folding plate. The folding plate and the wide folding plate are removably connected to the floor by means of hinges located on one of their edges. In addition, the hinged plate and the wide hinged plate are connected, in a movable manner with the other edge, to the support of the hinged plate or to the support of the wide hinged plate by means of hinges. The floor has two grooves parallel to each other and running along its entire length, located on both sides of the axis of symmetry of the longest floor. The grooves extend horizontally beneath the supports of the folding plates or under the supports of the wide folding plates.

Preferably, the folding plate and the wide folding plate and the support of the folding plate and the support of the wide folding plate have the form of a rectangle. The floor preferably has two pairs of folding plates and two pairs of folding plate supports, with an appropriate width, which are on the shorter ends of the floor, and between them are two pairs of wide folding plates and two pairs of supports. of the wide folding plates, of an appropriate width. Flapper

i. C Q 3 G o _ Î 3 Ό9-2012 and the support of the folding plate is narrower than the wide folding plate and the supports of the wide folding plate. Preferably, the hinged plate and the hinged plate holder each have three hinges, and the wide hinged plate and the wide hinged plate supports each have five hinges. The folding plate and the wide folding plate are equipped with two oval levers. In addition, the folding plate and the wide folding plate are equipped with an anti-slip layer. The anti-slip layer is made of rubber. Preferably, the fixing mechanism on the roof consists of two locking bars positioned perpendicular to the longest edges of the roof. On the edges of the roof is a gasket of a rubber sheet, which protrudes out of the side walls, the front wall and the crossbar. Preferably, on the top of the roof are two large levers, located on the longer axis of symmetry of the roof, the levers of the levers being parallel to the longer edges of the roof, and four small levers, located on the longer edges of the roof, the holes of the levers being perpendicular to these edges. Preferably, the lock of each door leaf consists of two locking bars. At the edges of the doors there is a gasket of a rubber sheet. Each door leaf preferably has a ratchet hook. Each side wall has two roof fixing mechanisms, which are connected to the lock bars. Each side wall has a door stop compatible with the hook. Preferably, the floor is equipped with small hinged rectangular folding plates, located on opposite sides of the longer axis of symmetry of the floor, the folding plates being mounted on hinges and being placed under the supports, which extend horizontally, of the folding plates and / or below the supports of the wide folding plates. The floor has two rectangular passage holes, located below its useful layer, parallel to the axis of shorter symmetry of the floor, the distance between the holes being identical to the distance between the two large levers, located on the roof. On each side wall, below the upper edge, there are two ventilation holes. Preferably, the useful layer of the floor is made of a flat sheet. The filling in the door frame structure consists of a flat sheet with hinged sections, while the filling in the structure of the side walls, the front wall and the roof is made of a trapezoidal sheet, in which the surface of the roof in the area extends between its edges further. long, where the big and small levers are positioned, is made of a flat sheet. Preferably, the filling in the structure of the roof frame is a flat sheet with embossed sections. On each side wall, along its upper and lower edges, are located eight small levers. Above the edge (Λ- 2 0η 0 ο 3 0 Ο ί 3 -09- 20ί2 above the door is a cross that is connected, with disassembly, on the side walls. Preferably, on the corners of the container structure are corner reinforcements.

Preferably, there are corner reinforcements on the corners of the container structure.

An advantage of the invention is that it provides a container that is adapted to carry objects on pallets, non-fixed and oval objects, such as steel wire coils. The solution according to the invention makes it possible to transport oval objects of different lengths. In the case of transporting small coils, only a support for stabilization can be used and the rest of the floor can be left free. This allows to maximize the surface of the container. A long contact line of a cylindrical object with a support ensures greater friction and, therefore, greater stability of the object, in the case of moving the container. In addition, the fitted anti-slip layer increases friction. Moreover, a large support area, consisting of a folding plate and the support of the folding plate, increases its resistance against mechanical damage. Also, the simple system of connecting the individual elements of the support makes assembly and disassembly as well as the replacement of defective parts easy.
