Definitions

  • the invention concerns foldable transport container.
  • the container comprises a pallet base-unit, opposite facing ⁇ nd-wall-units and side-wall-units, and a roof-unit.
  • the wall-units have an upper-part and a corresponding lower-part.
  • the lower-part being connected to the base-unit and said upper-part being moveably hinged to the lower-part.
  • the wall units being detachably connected together and foldable with respect to the base unit.
  • the aim of the invention is to present a foldable transport container that can be used for transportation of general goods, but during the return transport the container can be folded and then used as a platform for transport of other goods, or just folded and stabled to reduce the space required. By this, it is possible to safe valuable transport space, and thereby, reduce transport costs.
  • This aim is achieved by the invention being unique, in that the container forms in erected position a first transport housing and further in folded position a flat platform for return transportation. Thereby a second housing is formed enveloping said roof unit to be placed there in-between, eventually together with supplementary partition wall units. At least one of the inwardly folded upper wall parts constitute an upwardly facing load bearing surface.
  • the transport container can be folded to form a flat transport platform or pallet, which can either be used as base for transport of other goods or just to stable such pallets one on top of the other to reduce space.
  • the invention is further unique according to the specifications in the characterized part of the patent claims 2 - 7.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the container.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of how the container is folded.
  • Figure 3 shows a cut-view of the container in folded position
  • Figure 4 shows a cut-view of the side-wall in an upright position.
  • Figure 5 shows a cut-view of the end wall unit in an upright position.
  • Figure 6 shows a cut-view of the side-wall in folded position with seats for the ceiling unit
  • Figure 7 shows the container in upright position with one of the wall units half-way open and how it is supported.
  • Figure 1 show the container (1) in an upright position seen in perspective view.
  • the container (1) has side-wall units (3) and end-wall units (12), and roof-unit (4).
  • the wall units rest on a flat base unit (2).
  • the side-wall and end-wall are fastened together with a locking device (not shown).
  • a single partition wall unit (14). is shown. Its purpose is to divide the space in the container into sections for the animals.
  • One of the end wall units (12) is in outwardly folded position and thereby forming a pathway into the container.
  • Figure 2 show how the container is folded. First the end wall units (12) are folded outwardly, then the side wall units folded out, but supported by supporters (23). Finally the container is shown in folded position (8) forming a load bearing platform (32).
  • Figure 3 show a sectional cut view of the container.
  • the container is in folded position.
  • the side-walls are made of upper parts (5) and lower parts (6).
  • the two wall parts are fastened to each other by hinges (7). allowing the upper parts (5) to be folded over the base (2).
  • the lower parts of opposite wall units (6) have different heights. This allows the left hand wall-unit to be folded over the corresponding right hand side wall-unit.
  • the lower parts farther include seats ( 15) for the end wall units (12).
  • detachable partition-wall units ( 14) are placed underneath the end-wall units (12).
  • the partition wall units (14) are shown in upright position on fig. 1. 3 and 6.
  • Figure 4 show details of the side-wall unit.
  • the lower part (6) of the side wall unit (1 1 ) rests on the base (2).
  • the lower part (6) and the corresponding upper part (5) are fastened to each other by hinges (7).
  • the upper part can be turned about the hinges, to the left to open the container, or to the right to fold the container into a pallet.
  • the connection (21) between the end wall (12) and the upper part of the side-wall is shown as well as the partition wall unit (14).
  • Figure 5 shows the cut a cut view of the end wall unit (12).
  • the end-wall unit (12) consists of an upper part (5) and a lower part (6) connected by hinges (7).
  • Figure 6 show in more details the cut-view of the container in folded position. Resting on the base (2) are two partition units (14). There above, resting on a seat (15) on the lower part of the side wall unit, is the end wall unit (12). Further there above is a roof unit (22) and folded over each other the two upper parts (5) of the side wall units.
  • Figure 7 show the container (1) in an upright position with the right hand side-wall (5) in an open position.
  • the side-wall is supported by an arm (23).
  • the roof-unit (22) is removed, then the side walls (5) are opened to the sides as shown in the figure or fully opened to a horizontal position.
  • the partition wall-units (14) if in use, are dismantled from their position and placed in a horizontal position on the bottom of the container.
  • the end- wall units (12) are turned on the hinges (7) and placed over the partition wall units.
  • the roof unit (22) is placed on top of the end wall units.
  • the side wall units are folded over each other to form a flat transport pallet as shown f.ex. in figure 2.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un conteneur de transport pliable, comprenant une unité de base, des unités de paroi et une unité de toit. Les unités de parois sont repliables sur l'unité de base de manière à former une plate-forme de transport plate. Les unités de paroi possèdent une partie supérieure et une partie inférieure correspondante, ladite partie inférieure étant reliée à l'unité de base et la partie supérieure étant articulée de manière mobile à la partie inférieure. Le conteneur forme un premier logement de transport lorsqu'il est en position déployée. En position repliée, le conteneur forme une plate-forme plate avec un second logement enveloppant l'unité de toit.
