Definitions

  • the invention concerns a container sidewall for containers as well as a container with at least one such container sidewall. Moreover, the invention concerns of product-transporting receptacle comprising such a container.
  • the container sidewall functions as a stabilizing means.
  • Such stabilizing means for example, so-called sandwich structures, are generally known and are utilized in different fields of application, for example, insulation technology, truck superstructures, industrial construction, advertisement boards, stage construction, furniture building etc.
  • Sandwich structures comprise in general two stiff cover layers between which a more light-weight core material, for example, honeycomb structures of paper, lightweight wood, polyurethane, styrofoam or the like is arranged.
  • a more light-weight core material for example, honeycomb structures of paper, lightweight wood, polyurethane, styrofoam or the like is arranged.
  • the cover layers can be clamped together with the core material in a mold and pressed, glued or welded.
  • This manufacture is relatively labor-intensive and cost-intensive and requires additional molds and machines that, for example, must also be matched in a complex way to the shape to be produced of the sandwich structure or to the form of the starting materials; this makes the production of the sandwich structures even more expensive.
  • Containers for bulk material and corresponding sidewalls are also generally known.
  • An example for such containers are barrels or kegs, cardboard packages or intermediate bulk containers (IBC) that are rigid and often heavy (rigid intermediate bulk container, RIBC) or lightweight and flexible (flexible intermediate bulk container, FIBC) wherein the latter are also referred to as “big bag” and are essentially in the form of large bags with rectangular or round cross-section.
  • IBC intermediate bulk containers
  • RIBC rigid and often heavy (rigid intermediate bulk container, RIBC) or lightweight and flexible (flexible intermediate bulk container, FIBC) wherein the latter are also referred to as “big bag” and are essentially in the form of large bags with rectangular or round cross-section.
  • the RIBCs that often are comprised of metal or plastic material are used frequently for transporting liquid or pasty materials and FIBCs are used frequently for transporting flowable bulk material, for example, construction materials such as sand, gravel, or rocks but also pharmaceutical substances, foodstuff or their intermediates.
  • the FIBCs are also stabilized by means of rigid plates that are placed or inserted between inner and outer surfaces, for example, made of wood or metal; however, as a result of excess material required for the inner and outer surfaces in order to enable placement or insertion, i.e., a play between these surfaces, handling of such FIBCs, in particular before the filling process, is made difficult and the stability is reduced.
  • An object of the invention resides therefore in that a lightweight, stable, easily producible and inexpensive container sidewall for containers is to be provided. Moreover, a lightweight and easy-to-use container with at least one such container sidewall is be provided which in particular is foldable and is distinguished by excellent shape stability especially in the filled state. Moreover, a product-transporting receptacle is to be provided that comprises at least one such container.
