Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container.
  • the invention relates in particular to a container comprising a pallet with which the container can be picked up and moved.
  • containers which comprise a bottom on which a wall can be built up by pivoting pivotable wall panels up from the bottom and connecting them mutually by means of clamps, locking pins, clips or the like.
  • Such containers have the advantage that in empty condition they take up little space during storage and transport.
  • a disadvantage of such containers is that the bottom cannot be used separately as a loose item for transport and storage of products.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved container of the type described in the preamble.
  • a container according to the invention is characterized by the features according to claim 1 .
  • the wall is formed from wall parts, at least panels that can be stored separately from the pallet, while the pallet can be used as an independent pallet for storage and transport. Consequently, the wall can also be cleaned separately from the pallet and, for instance, be adjusted to the load to be transported.
  • the wall is preferably manufactured from plastic, and preferably rests on the upper side of the pallet during use, that is, in set-up condition of the container.
  • a bottom is formed which is connected or is to be connected with the wall.
  • the top surface of the pallet is screened from the load which is included or is to be included in the inner space of the container.
  • the bottom can prevent shifting of the wall relative to the pallet.
  • the bottom is formed from a number of bottom parts which are connected with the wall.
  • the bottom parts may then be provided with means for mutual coupling and/or for coupling with the pallet.
  • Mutual coupling provides the advantage that setting up is further simplified.
  • the bottom can, if desired, be made of moisture-tight design, in which case the coupling secures the bottom better still.
  • the bottom parts are pivotably connected with wall parts, preferably by way of integrally formed hinges such as living hinges.
  • Such hinge means can be formed in a simple manner, are relatively strong and can moreover be made of, for instance, moisture- and dust-tight design in a simple manner.
  • the wall parts are adapted to be mutually coupled, or are mutually coupled, at least during use for storage or transport of goods such as solid or liquid products, in such a manner that the wall is moisture- and/or dust-tight, so that a proper protection is obtained.
  • lashing means can be used for retaining the wall during use.
  • lashing means can be, for instance, securing straps or foil, or clamps with which the wall parts can be pulled against each other.
  • straps or the like because these are relatively simple and cheap in use and are simple to replace.
  • the wall parts do not need to have special provisions and the closure can be optimized at all times.
  • the wall parts can be designed such that on a pallet several walls can be formed onto each other, which walls are adapted to be coupled mutually and/or with the pallet, for varying the height of the container with relatively low wall parts.
  • a bottom is provided, as described, it is preferably provided, on the side facing the pallet during use, with friction enhancing means such as studs, ribs, friction material or the like, so that shifting of the bottom relative to the pallet is prevented even better.
  • the invention further relates to a set of a series of panels, for forming a container according to the invention.
  • the invention relates to such a set characterized by the features according to claim 14 .
  • a container in a particularly simple manner, a container can be obtained having a suitable inner space for storage of different products, which can rest on the bottom formed by the bottom panels.
  • the bottom parts are preferably provided with cooperating coupling means, so that they can be mutually secured to each other.
  • the bottom parts are then preferably formed such that they can jointly form a closed bottom, in particular a substantially rectangular bottom which substantially corresponds in dimension and shape to a modular form of a pallet, for instance a Euro pallet.
  • the wall parts of the panels are preferably provided with further coupling means for supporting the wall parts against each other and/or coupling them mutually, for obtaining a relatively stiff outer form.
  • a set according to the invention comprises at least three different panels, which panels are distinguished from each other in at least the width of the wall parts and/or the shape of the bottom parts.
  • the different panels of this set are adapted to be mutually coupled, such that through a suitable choice of the panels different dimensions and shapes of the inner space can be obtained.
  • the invention further relates to a method for forming a container, characterized by the features according to claim 19 .
  • Such a method provides the advantage that a container can be set up and collapsed again in a particularly simple manner, so that a container can be obtained which in set-up condition has an inner space of suitable size and in collapsed condition takes up minimal space, while moreover for instance standard pallets can be used.
  • a method according to the invention is preferably characterized in that on a pallet a bottom is formed from bottom panels which are connected or are to be connected with at least a number of the wall parts, such that an inner space is defined by the wall parts above the bottom.
  • the bottom is then preferably assembled so as to be moisture-tight, while the bottom parts are preferably mutually coupled.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a method for the transport of products, characterized by the features according to claim 24 .
  • the wall of the container is formed around the products which have been disposed on a pallet, so that loading is possible in a particularly simple manner. For unloading, the wall can then be removed, so that the products are readily accessible from a side.
  • a bottom is formed from bottom parts connected or to be connected with the wall, so that the load will rest on the bottom and is physically separated from the pallet.
  • liquid or paste-like, low- or high-viscous fluids can be transported on wooden pallets, while the bottom prevents parts of the pallet, such a splinters and dirt which may have been left on it, coming into contact with the liquid or paste.
  • base materials for manufacturing rubber and the like can be transported on wooden pallets.
  • other pallets can naturally be used as well, for instance made of plastic or metal. Moreover, particular cleaning of the pallets is then not necessary anymore.
