Description

CONTAINER PROVIDED WITH HANGERS
The present invention relates to a transport cage comprising an essentially V-shaped base frame, an opposed pair of vertical wall elements hingedly connected to distal ends of said base frame, respectively, and a cage floor element hingedly connected to a lower edge of one of the vertical wall elements, which floor element in a load transport position of the cage is hingedly lowered onto support brackets adapted to a lower edge of the opposite vertical wall and, in an empty return position of the cage, is hingedly elevated into a vertical position so as to rest against the vertical wall element to which it is pivotally connected, thus facilitating pivo- ting of the vertical wall elements of the cage into a plow-like angled position abutting to both branch legs of the base frame.
Conventionally, hanging garments are transported using purpose-designed transport gear having garment hanger rods placed extending across the loadable space. Due to the special needs related to hanging garment transportation, a dedicated delivery service has been required. Particularly in distribution deliveries, it has been extremely difficult to combine hanging garment deliveries with normal unit goods delivery operations owing to the differing demands set on the transport equipment and handling methods. Moreover, the transport of hanging garments is heavily concentrated in certain seasons of the year, which owing to the low off-season utilization of the transport fleet tends to disencourage the carrier from providing separate transport services also during these off-season times. However, due to mutual competition the carriers providing hanging garment transport services must offer their customers a sufficient delivery capacity also during off-season times, thus forcing the carriers to keep their hanging garment transport network functional through these times of low demand. Moreover, extending transport services for hanging garments to locations not having a hanging garment terminal and other facilities has been problematic. Such locations are to be found in Russia, the Baltic countries and Aland, for instance.
Hence, there has been a need to develop such a unit load transport cage for hanging garments that can ensure safe support for hanging garments during transportation and facilitate the transport of hanging garments along with normal unit goods deliveries. Accordingly, the goal is to eliminate the special-delivery character of hanging garment deliveries by providing a transport cage which can make such a transport operation equivalent to a standard delivery suitable for being carried out along with normal unit load deliveries, whereby existing transport and delivery networks and their acknowledgedly high round- the-year service level can be utilized. Such transport gear must have its dimensions so designed that its transport costs even during an off-season time do not hamper the carrier from keeping up a high standard of delivery services.
From the prior art are known different kinds of unit load transport gear adapted for hanging garments, but all conventional embodiments are hampered by their clumsy construction, need for large footprint during their return transport to the home terminal and poor handling proper- ties. Resultingly, none of these prior-art embodiments have gained a wider acceptance.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a transport cage which has a light-weight construction with a standard-dimension bottom structure conforming to those of a standardized FIN/EUR pallet, is designed to effectively support different types of hanging garments and, as a major specification of the invention, is provided with some kind of stacking facility offering reduced footprint during the return transport of the empty cages. Moreover, the transport cages must offer a vehicle packing density with as many hanger-rod meters per square meter of vehicle floor area as are available by virtue of conventional transport gear equipped with fixed hanger rods; and finally, the transport cage should not include any detachable elements that are easily lost during its use.
The goal of the invention is achieved by virtue of a transport cage based on a prior-art transport cage embodiment, whereby the novel cage is characterized by having both of its opposed vertical wall elements equipped with a separate pivotable support element for hanging garments at different levels so that each of said support elements is pivotally placeable into a horizontal garment transport position in which its free end is supported by the opposite vertical wall or a support bracket mounted thereon and is pivotally lowerable into a vertical position so as to rest against the vertical wall element to which it is pivotally connected.
Further features of the invention will be evident from the appended dependent claims.
In the following the invention is described in greater detail with reference to appended drawings in which
Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the transport cage according to the invention with the cage floor element elevated into an intermediate position;
Figure 2 shows in a direct top view the transport cage illustrated in Fig. 1, now prepared into its transport position; and Figure 3 shows in a direct top view two transport cages mounted into their return transport position in which the cages are pushed tightly into each other.
Referring to Fig. 1, the transport cage according to the invention shown therein comprises an essentially V-shaped base frame 1 having an opposed pair of vertical wall elements 2,3 of tubular-frame structure hingedly connected to the distal ends of said base frame, respectively. To the lower edge of one vertical wall element 2 is hingedly connected a cage floor element 4 of the transport cage so that, in the garment transport position of the cage, the cage floor element rests hingedly lowered onto support brackets 5 which are adapted to the lower edge of the opposite vertical wall 3. When these support brackets 5 clamp the perimeter of the cage floor element 4, they lock the base of the transport cage into the garment transport position of the cage. Additionally, the transport cage includes two garment hanger assemblies 6 and 7, both adapted at different levels and pivotally connected to a separate vertical wall 3 and 2, respectively. In its garment transport position, each hanger assembly 6 and 7, respectively, is rotated to have its unconnected free end resting on a support bracket 8 mounted on the opposite wall element 2 and 3, respectively, thus providing each transport cage with two parallel upper and lower rows of hanging garments when the clothes to be transported are of the "jacket-size" length. When all the garments to be transported are of full length, the garment hanging assembly 7 of the lower level can be pivoted down so as to rest against the vertical wall element 2, whereby the transport cage accommodates two parallel rows of full- length hanging garments.
Advantageously, each hanger assembly 6, 7 may be formed by a pair of rods, and the rods of the lower hanger assembly are preferably connected by a pivotal joint each separately to its own vertical tube 2a on the vertical wall element 2. When at least a portion of the transported garments have a full length and the other portion is of the " acket-length" size, one rod of the lower hanger assembly 7 can be lowered down, whereby the transport cage can be loaded with one row of full-length garments and two "jacket-size" garment rows loaded one over the other.
When the transport cage is prepared for its empty return position, the floor element 4 is pivoted into a vertical position against the wall element 2 to which it is pivotally connected and the lower garment hanger assembly 7, which is also pivotally connected to the same wall element 2, is next lowered into its vertical position, whereby the floor element 4 will remain clamped between the vertical wall element 2 and its hanger assembly 7. Additionally, the upper garment hanger assembly 6 is lowered into its vertical position against its vertical wall element 3, after which both vertical wall elements 2 and 3 are hingedly pivoted about their vertical hinges 11 against the branch legs of the base frame 1 thus making the cage to assume an essentially plow-like angled position in which a number of thus angled transport cages can be pushed home into each other forming a long continuous row of cages. When so inserted one into another, each transport cage adds to the length of the row only about 20 % of its own length as is evident from Fig. 3.
Advantageously, the rods of the lower hanger assembly 7 are each separately pivotally connected to two vertical tubes 2a spaced at a distance from each other in the tubular-frame vertical wall element 2 by means of slida- ble bushing-type pivotal joints 9 adapted to move over a limited length of the tube. The vertical tubes 2a have stops located at about the midpoint of each tube, whereby the stops determine the lower limit of the travel of the slidable bushing joints 9 and, simultaneously, the level of the lower garment hanger assembly 7 in its horizontal, that is, the garment transport position. By virtue of the bushing joints 9, the hanger rods of the lower garment hanger assembly 7 can be readily lowered into their vertical positions unhampered by the fact that the length of the rods 7 and also of the floor element 4 is greater than half the length of the vertical tubes 2a. When the transport cage is prepared for its empty return transport position, the bushing joints 9 with the rods of the lower garment hanger assembly 7 are pushed upward along the vertical tubes 2a so high that the floor element 4 can be hingedly elevated under the hanger assembly, after which said hanger assembly 7 can be lowered into its vertical position pivotally supported by the bushing joints 9. For locking said hanger assembly 7 into this vertical position, the lower perimeter of the floor element may advantageously include two locking pegs, aligned vertically upward in this position, on which pegs the free, mating ends of the rods 7 are lowered for return transport.
In the garment transport position of the cage, the free ends of the rods of the lower hanger assembly 7 are independently from each other pivotally placeable and lockable on the support brackets 8 mounted at the same level on the opposed vertical tubes 3a of the opposite wall element 3. The locking of the free ends of the rods to the brackets can be implemented by means of a pin or similar arrangement.
Advantageously, the upper garment assembly 6 is hingedly connected to pivote about a horizontal tube 3b forming the upper edge of the tubular-frame vertical wall 3 and, at its free end, this garment hanger assembly 6 is pro- vided with a common, downward open U-shaped support/locking trough 6a, which can be lowered onto the upper edge of the opposite vertical wall element 2 and locked thereto. According to an embodiment of the invention, both of the garment hanger assemblies 6 and 7 are formed by a planar grid or lattice structure.
To improve the transportability of the transport cage, the lower corners of both vertical wall elements 2 and 3 are preferably provided with swinging castors 10.
For the protection of the transported garments, the open sides of the transport cage may advantageously be equipped with elastic bands or similar elements. Additionally, a plastic bag with a length extending down to the lower edge of the loadable space of the cage can be pulled over the cage carrying the garments.
Advantageously, the floor of the transport cage is made from a steel wire fabric permitting transport of other type of goods in the cage when the rods of the lower hanger assembly 7 are pivoted into their vertical posi- tions and the cage is not needed for transporting hanging garments .
