Definitions

  • This invention relates to a container, and in particular, but not exclusively to a small shipping and storage container for liquids or other flowable products.
  • the 44 gallon (55 US gallon) drum or barrel, or similar sized drums, are widely used around the world today.
  • the 44 gallon drum is typically just under 34 1 A inches (875 millimetres) high and just under 24 inches (610 millimetres) in diameter and was originally designed to meet military shipping requirements around the time of the First World War. At this time trucks were increasingly being used for transportation. In addition, the manufacture of drums from cold rolled steel was possible allowing mass production of these containers.
  • the 44 gallon drums were sized such that four could fit onto a standard shipping pallet, which in turn could easily be handled using a fork truck. Individual drums could be handled using a two wheeled hand truck, or manually either by tilting the drum to a shallow angle and rolling on the lower rim, or by lying the drum flat and rolling it.
  • Shipping charges are often volume related for cargo densities of less than one tonne per cubic metre. Above this density, shipping charges are typically calculated by weight. Many drums however contain oil, or other liquids, pastes or fine powders, with a gross weight of less than one tonne per cubic metre. In addition, the drums are round and do not fully occupy the entire space they take up when being shipped or stored.
  • the invention may broadly be said to consist in a shipping and storage container, the container having a top end, a bottom end, two first sidewalls substantially at right angles to each other, and a third sidewall, the container having a substantially triangular shaped cross section in a plane substantially parallel to the top or bottom ends, the triangular cross section being generally in the shape of a right angled isosceles triangle.
  • the container is sized to fit alongside circular shipping drums or barrels on a square or rectangular shipping pallet without extending beyond the footprint of the pallet when the container is resting on its bottom end.
  • the container is generally elongate in shape, the distance between the ends of the container, or the height of the container, being greater than the width of the third sidewall.
  • the two first sidewalls of the container each include a recessed region or regions adapted to accommodate any ribs or other projections on the exterior of a circular shipping drum or barrel.
  • the third sidewall of the container includes a recessed region or regions adapted to accommodate any ribs or other projections on the exterior of a circular shipping drum or barrel.
  • any recesses in the first sidewalls, or the third sidewall, of the container are in the form of a recessed channel extending across the width of each sidewall.
  • each of the two first sidewalls in a direction substantially parallel with the top or bottom ends of the container, is in the range of 190 to 270 millimetres.
  • each of the two first sidewalls in a direction substantially parallel with the top or bottom ends of the container, is in the range of 210 to 240 millimetres.
  • the height of the container is in the range of 290 to 900 millimetres.
  • the height of the container is in the range of 400 to 480 millimetres.
  • the third sidewall of the container is curved, however, in a preferred embodiment, the third sidewall of the container is substantially flat.
  • first sidewalls of the container is/are curved, however, in a preferred embodiment the two first sidewalls of the container are substantially flat.
  • the container includes a sealable opening.
  • the> sealable opening includes a thread adapted to receive an externally or internally threaded cap.
  • the sealable opening is provided in the top end of the container.
  • the sealable opening is provided within a recessed area in the top end of the container.
  • the top end of the container is adapted to at least partially engage with the bottom end of a similarly configured container.
  • the top end of the container includes one or more projections adapted to engage with corresponding recesses in the bottom end of a similarly configured container. - A -
  • the top end of the container is shaped to facilitate pouring from the container, for example including a recessed area about the opening, the recessed area having an apex adjacent to an edge of the top of the container.
  • the container includes one or more handles.
  • each handle is formed as a recess within one of the sidewalls of the container.
  • the body of the container is formed from a fibrous product, for example dense paper or cardboard, and the top and bottom of the container are formed from plastic or metal, for example sheet steel.
  • the invention may broadly be said to consist in a pallet loaded with circular shipping drums or barrels, and at least one container as specified herein.
  • the invention may also broadly be said to consist in the parts, elements and features referred to or indicated in the specification of the application, individually or collectively, and any or all combinations of any two or more of the parts, elements or features, and where specific integers are mentioned herein which have known equivalents, such equivalents are incorporated herein as if they were individually set forth.

  • the container (10) is sized to fit alongside circular shipping drums or barrels on a square or rectangular shipping pallet without extending beyond the footprint of the pallet.
  • the containers (10) are suitable for use between or alongside any two or more drums that are arranged side by side. Where there are four or more drums, the containers (10) are suited for use when each set of four drums is arranged in a generally square pattern.
  • the containers (10) can be used for shipping or storage on their own, the shape of them being suitable for stacking, and allowing convenient and efficient use of space, and their size making them relatively easy to handle.
  • first sidewalls (15) and the third sidewall (17) of the container (10) are shown substantially flat, however, in an alternative embodiment, either or both of the first sidewalls (15), and/or the third sidewall (17) of the container (10), can be curved, for example having a concave shape which can mate more closely with the curved exterior of a drum or barrel.
  • the two first sidewalls (15) and/or the third sidewall (17) of the container can each include a recessed region (19) or regions adapted to accommodate any ribs or other projections from the exterior of a circular shipping drum or barrel.

  • the recesses or channels (19) can help to improve the stiffness of the sidewalls (15) or (19), for example to help prevent the sidewalls from bulging outward when the container (10) is loaded.
  • the width of each of the two first sidewalls (15), in a direction substantially parallel with the top or bottom ends, (11) or (13), of the container (10), is approximately 225 millimetres. It is envisaged that this width can be in the range of 190 to 270 millimetres, and preferably within the range of 210 to 240 millimetres, for a container (10) designed for use alongside a typical 44 gallon drum, or similar sized drum or barrel.
  • the container could have a height that is similar to a typical 44 gallon drum or barrel, in this example the container (10) is approximately half the height of such a drum, that is, about 440 millimetres high. This gives the container (10) a generally elongate shape in which the height of the container (10), or the distance between the ends of the container (11) and (13), is greater than the width of the third sidewall (17). Alternatively the container (10) could be a third or a quarter of the height of a typical drum or barrel.
  • a container (10) height that is about half the height of a 44 gallon drum or barrel is considered advantageous.
  • Such a container (10) is relatively easy to handle, for example, one such container (10) could be carried in each hand, suspended from each hand.
  • the height of the containers (10) allows them to hang freely from each hand while they are being carried, without dragging on the ground.
  • the height of the containers (10) was similar to that of a 44 gallon drum or barrel they would be very awkward to carry, not being able to hang freely from either hand.
  • a container (10) that is the full height of a 44 gallon drum or barrel would be much heavier to handle, and would be more prone to splitting or bulging if dropped. It would also be less stable when standing alone.
  • the height of the container (10) can be in the range of 290 to 900 millimetres, and preferably the height of the container (10) is in the range of 400 to 480 millimetres.
  • the container (10) is approximately half the height of a typical 44 gallon drum, and there are two recesses (19) in each of the first sidewalls (15).
  • the recesses (19) are in the form of recessed channels which extend across the width of each first sidewall (15).
  • One of the recesses (19) in each sidewall (15) is situated at approximately one third of the height of the container (10), and the other is situated at approximately two thirds of the height of the container (10).
  • recesses (19) can simply be shorter or radiused channels designed to neatly fit about the rib on a drum, it is considered advantageous to extend the ribs right across the width of the sidewalls (15) or (17) as they can improve the rigidity of the sidewalls, as noted above.
  • Such recesses or channels (19) can also be used to accommodate tie straps, for example when tying a pair, or a larger number, of containers (10) together if shipping them by themselves, that is, not alongside drums or barrels.
  • the container (10) includes a single use, or a re-sealable, opening (21), which in this example includes an external thread adapted to receive an internally threaded cap (not shown).
  • the re-sealable opening (21) is situated in the top end (11) of the container (10).
  • the sealable opening (21) is recessed below the surface of the top end (11) of the container (10) to facilitate stacking of the containers (10).
  • the top end (11) of the container can be adapted to at least partially engage with the bottom end (13) of a similarly configured container (10) for example, the top end (11) of the container (10) can include one or more projections adapted to engage with corresponding recesses in the bottom end (13) of another container (10).
  • the top end of the container (10) is provided with two raised domes (23) which are configured to mate with two corresponding recessed dimples (25) in the bottom end (13) of a similar container (10).
  • the top end (11) of the container (11) is shaped to facilitate pouring from the container (10).
  • the container (10) includes a recessed area (27) about the opening (21), the recessed area having an apex (29) adjacent to an edge of the top (11) of the container (10).
  • the container (10) includes a handle (31).
  • the handle (31) is formed as a recess within the third sidewall (17) of the container (10), adjacent to the top end (11) of the container (10).
  • the container (10) can have more than one handle (31), and the handle or handles could be located in a number of places to suit handling and/or manufacturing requirements.
  • edges of the container (10) can be chamfered or radiused for improved durability.
  • the chamfered or radiused corners can also be useful in providing clearance between the container (10) and any protruding rim at the top or bottom end of a drum.
  • the container (10) is designed for use alongside drums or barrels on a shipping pallet, or alongside drums or barrels inside a larger shipping container.
  • three 44 gallon drums (33) are shown as they would normally be arranged on a shipping pallet.
  • the fourth drum to complete the pallet load is omitted to enable the containers (10) to be seen more clearly.
  • Figures 7 and 8 show pallets loaded with eight and four drums respectively. It can be seen that twelve of the containers (10) described herein can be loaded onto a pallet loaded with four drums. The containers (10) fit on the pallet alongside the drums (33), without extending beyond the footprint of the pallet. The containers (10) are stowed completely within the lines of the set of four drums and are therefore reasonably well protected from damage when the pallet load of drums is moved about or when other similar pallet loads are placed alongside.
  • each container can hold about twelve litres, and therefore twelve containers providers an increase of about one hundred and forty four litres of storage capacity for each pallet load of four drums. This increases the storage capacity of the pallet load from eight hundred litres (four times two hundred litres), to nine hundred and forty four, representing an eighteen percent increase in storage capacity.
  • a pallet load of eight drums provides spaces for twenty eight containers, allowing an increase in storage capacity in the region of twenty one percent. For some products, particularly low density products such as oil based products, this additional capacity can be transported at little or no additional cost.
  • Figures 9 and 10 show a second example of a container (50), according to the present invention.
  • the geometry of the container (50) is generally similar to that of the first example of a container (10) described above, however its construction is different.
  • the container (50) has a body (51) that can be made from any suitable material, for example a fibrous material such as dense paper or cardboard, and the top (53) and bottom (55) are made separately.
  • the top (53) and bottom (55) can be made from metal, for example from sheet steel, or they could be made from other suitable materials such as plastic.
  • the top (53) and bottom (55) can be fastened to the body (51) using a clip or similar fastening system, as is commonly used on fibrous barrels (57). While the top (53) could be removable, it could also be fixed to the body (51) and be provided with a single use or a re- sealable opening (not shown).
  • the tops (53) and the bottoms (55) are configured to allow stacking of one container (50) on top of another, for example having a raised rim on each top (53) which can engage with a recessed channel on each bottom (55).
  • a fibrous container (50) could be used to transport liquids, pastes, powders or granules for example, and could be used in conjunction with a plastic liner.
  • Figure 10 shows a pallet loaded with four fibrous barrels (57), about which twelve containers (50) can be stacked, in a similar fashion to the containers (10) described in the first example.
  • containers (10) and (50) are made from plastics material or fibrous material, however it is envisaged that other container constructions could be used, for example the container (10) could be made from metal, wood or other composite materials.
  • the opening (21) is shown centrally located in the top end (11), however, in an alternative configuration the opening (21) could be positioned nearer an edge of the top end (1 1), or on one of the sides.
  • At least the preferred form of the invention provides a container which can be stored on a pallet that also includes drums and which can do so without increasing the overall footprint of the loaded pallet while at the same time provide storage for additional flowable product.
  • This additional material can be shipped at little or no additional cost since the total density of the loaded pallet can remain below or near one tonne per cubic metre.
  • Two or four containers according to the present invention can be stacked adjacent to one another to form a stack having a generally square footprint. For this reason the containers are equally well suited for shipping and storage requirements in their own right, that is, including when they are not being used alongside drums or barrels.
  • the triangular shape also provides a convenient shape for storing a single container in a corner, providing minimal disruption to the remaining space.
