Description

Container for the transport of products, in particular in the form of coils

The present invention relates to a container for transporting products, in particular in the form of coils, the container being designed to be movable by cranes, forklifts, overhead cranes or container carriers.

US2003106822 discloses a container for transporting various products, including those having a circular cross-section, the floor of the container being provided with hinged cover plates. In the closed position, the wings of said cover plates form a plane with the floor, allowing the transport of products on pallets or products having a stable base. In the open position, said wings are folded out to open the cavities which are under the floor of the container and as a result provide two support points for oval objects that are horizontally positioned. In case the object has a large diameter, the support points are provided by tilted wings which, in the open position, form an extension of the cavity in the floor. A disadvantage of this solution, according to the invention, is that the container floor must be sufficiently thick to provide sufficient space for sufficiently deep cavities. As a result, while maintaining the standard external dimensions of the container, the amount of space available inside the container is reduced.

Patent application WO2008107626 discloses a container whose floor is adapted to support cylindrical objects. The container is equipped with a set of swivel carriers in the floor. The supports may be arranged perpendicular or parallel to the longer axis of symmetry of the floor. In the closed position, the carriers form one plane with the floor, while in the open position the carriers form a trough of an inverted isosceles trapezoid that provides three support points for oval objects. In this solution, the mechanism that blocks the carriers in the open and closed positions is located on the floor, directly below the carrier. The container is also provided with a fixed, removable roof, as a result of which the products can also be loaded and unloaded from the container also by crane or forklift. Due to the fact that the carriers for oval objects are narrow, the line of contact with the object is short. Therefore, at least two carrier pairs are required to ensure high stability of the oval object being transported. In the case of a short object, the distance between each pair of carriers may be too large for such an object to be held by two pairs of carriers. In addition, the system that blocks the carriers in the closed and open positions is subjected to rapid wear due to the relatively small dimensions that they exert in the event of a heavy load.

It was therefore an object of the invention to provide a container having a floor which is adapted to carry cargo on pallets, free-standing, and cylindrical objects such as e.g. steel coils, and which provides high stability to transport objects regardless of their length, while still being resistant to mechanical damage.

The invention is based on a container for transporting products, in particular in the form of coils, comprising a floor, two side walls, a front wall, a door with a lock and a removable fixed roof with a fastening mechanism, the floor being equipped with at least one pair of rotating carriers with a locking system. the carriers are grouped into at least one pair, positioned along a longer axis of symmetry, opposed to each other and forming a horizontal plane in the closed position with the floor, while forming a trough in the raised position. This solution is characterized in that the rotary carrier, which is part of one pair, is made of a wing which is connected to the wing carrier or of a wide wing which is connected to the wide wing carrier. The sash and wide sash are movably connected to the floor by hinges located at one of their edges. In addition, the sash and wide sash are movably attached by a second edge to the sash carrier or to the sash by means of hinges. The floor has two grooves that are parallel to one another and extend along its entire length, located on both sides of the longer axis of symmetry of the floor. The grooves lie horizontally below the wing carriers or broad wing carriers.

Preferably, the wing and broad wing, and the wing carrier and broad wing carrier are rectangular in shape. The floor preferably has two pairs of wings and two pairs of corresponding width carriers that are located at the shorter ends of the floor, and between them are two pairs of wide wings and wide wing carriers of corresponding width. The wing and wing carrier are narrower than the broad wing and wide wing carriers. Preferably, the wing and wing carrier have three hinges, while the broad wing and broad wing carriers have five hinges. The wing and wide wing are equipped with two oval gripping parts. In addition, the sash and wide sash are fitted against the slip layer. Against the slip layer is made of rubber. Preferably, the roof fastening mechanism consists of two locking bars which are arranged perpendicular to the longer edges of the roof. At the edges of the roof there is a sheet rubber gasket that contacts the side walls, the front wall and the beam. Preferably, at the top of the roof, two large grip portions are disposed along the long axis of symmetry of the roof and their openings are parallel to the longer edges of the roof, and four small grip portions are disposed at the long edges of the roof and their openings are perpendicular thereto. margins. Preferably, the lock of each door leaf consists of two locking bars. A leaf rubber gasket is provided at the door edges. Each door leaf preferably has a latching hook. Each of the side walls has two roof fastening mechanisms which are connected to the locking bars. Each of the side walls has door holders that are compatible with the latch hook. Preferably, the floor is provided with small suspended rectangular flaps which are located on opposite sides of the longer axis of symmetry of the floor, the flaps being mounted on the strap hinges and located below the wing carriers lying horizontally and / or wide wing carriers. The floor has two rectangular through holes that are located below its usable layer and are parallel to the shorter axis of symmetry of the floor, the spacing of these openings being identical to the spacing of the two large handle portions located on the roof. Two air holes are provided on each of the side walls, below the upper edge. Preferably, the usable floor layer is made of a flat board. The door frame filler consists of a flat plate with shaped sections, while the side wall filler, front wall and roof are made of a trapezoid plate, with the roof surface in the area extending between its longer edges and with large and small gripping parts , is made of flat plate. Preferably, the roof frame filler is a flat plate with shaped sections. On each side wall, along its upper and lower edges, there are eight small gripping portions. Above the upper edge of the door is a beam which is detachably connected to the side walls. Preferably, corner mounting members are provided at the corners of the container structure. Preferably, corner fasteners are provided on the corners of the container structure.

An advantage of the invention is to provide a container that is adapted to carry objects on pallets, free-standing objects and oval objects such as e.g. steel coils. The solution according to the invention permits the support of oval objects of different lengths. In the case of transport of short coils, only one carrier can be used to stabilize them and the rest of the floor can be left flat. This allows the container surfaces to be maximized. The long line of contact of the cylindrical object with the carrier provides greater friction and therefore greater stability of the object in case of movement of the container. In addition, mounted against the slip layer increases friction. In addition, the large surface area of the carrier consisting of wings and wing carriers increases its resistance to mechanical damage. Also, a simple connection system of the individual carrier elements makes their assembly and disassembly as well as the replacement of damaged parts simple.
