Description

COLLAPSIBLE, STACKABLE, SEMI-RIGID UNIVERSAL TANK FOR HAZARDOUS AND NON-HAZARDOUS GOODS
[0001] This application is based on Provisional Patent Application Serial Number 60/927,992 which was filed on 07 May 2007 and the contents of the entirety which is incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
[0002] This invention is related to universal collapsible, reusable, stackable, flexible shipping containers for shipping all types of cargo, ranging from dry bulk materials to slurries to fluids. This invention is achieved generally utilizing components which are flexible and when used as a system provides a container with superior shipping qualities. These flexible design components used in this invention of the universal shipping container allows them to be disassembled and folded into a package when they are empty, which is substantially smaller in volume than when they are assembled to form a container for carrying cargo. However, when they are assembled these, containers hold more volume when full than conventional containers.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0003] This novel inventive system allows the sum of the component parts to achieve a synergistic effect, which means that the resultant container formed is substantially stronger than any of its component parts and because it is made of independent rigid and semi-rigid components it is able to withstand damage from shipping events such as drops, collisions, etc.
[0004] This universal container is actually a series of panels and containers using components, which as assembled, provides a series of containers which can be used for varying and different cargos ranging from simple bulk cargos to non-toxic cargos dry or fluid to toxic cargos which are dry or fluid. These containers may also be configured to carry food grade and other products of high purity. [0005] In certain configurations these containers are designed to provide containment against environmental leaks if the primary component of the container leaks. This containment feature is achieved by providing multiple film layers used in one of the components of these containers, such that if one film layer fails the other layers retain the product.
[0006] These universal containers are reusable many times over. They may even be reusable for different products without the necessity of washing the container, as was not the case in the prior art, because in one configuration of components in these containers a film and/or films layer is a removable inexpensive container which can be removed and disposed of and a new and inexpensive container inserted into the remaining components of the container to allow the container to handle different cargo.
[0007] This universal container invention also provides safe and environmentally sound disposal of products and containers without the need for washing and containment of wash water and product, by incineration of one of the component containers. Further, the container component which is be incinerated has fittings which may be removed and reused in new containers. Also, these fittings are relative expensive and therefore provide good recycle material incentive for both the seller and the user.
[0008] Because of the way these component elements are constructed in this container system, these containers although flexible are very stackable. These containers may be stacked at least two layers high. The stackability of this container allows it to be used two high in shipping containers. Further, the stackable containers maintained their rectangular side shape and do not expand out to become stuck in a shipping container, even when they are stacked two high.
[0009] Further, by the configuration of the Universal Container, these containers may be changed from wet too dry cargo by simply changing one component of this universal container system.
[00010] These containers from their simplest component configuration to the most complex component configuration are relatively inexpensive. [00011] The components of these containers may be disassembled and laid flat, which greatly reduces the volume these universal containers take up when shipped empty. Further, these containers may be stored in their flat configuration until cargo is ready. Also by being greatly reduced in volume, it requires less freight to be shipped empty containers to destinations for filling because more of these containers can be placed in a freight container than a standard container, thereby reducing the cost of shipping these universal containers. It would also be appreciated by the skilled in the art, that many more of these containers can be stored in a smaller space, than previous containers of the prior art.
[00012] Other features and advantages of the universal containers which are the subject of this invention will become apparent upon reading the description of some preferred embodiments of this invention when viewed in conjunction with the drawing and the appended suggested scope of coverage, even though reference is made to specific embodiments herein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[00026] The present invention now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in which a preferred embodiment of the invention is shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiment set forth herein; rather, this embodiment is provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.
[00027] Referring now to Fig. 1, an embodiment of an outer component layer is shown in general reference number 10 with its bottom 1OB and top covering parts 1OT.
[00028] Referring to Fig 2, a bottom component 11 is shown in a flat configuration with fold lines 1 IF shown for forming a bottom component 11. This bottom component 11 may be folded to form a bottom component 11 to be used as shown here after and then folded back flat after use for stacking and later reuse.
[00029] Referring to Fig 3, a triangular stacking corner component 13 is shown in a partially folded position with fold lines 13F shown for forming a triangular stacking corner component 13. In some embodiments, at least two or more triangular stacking corner components 13 may be used.
[00030] Referring to Fig 4, a wall core section component 14 is shown in a partially folded position with fold lines 14F shown for forming a wall core section component 14.
[00031] Referring to Fig. 5, an outer component layer 10 and its bottom 1OB are shown receiving two wall core section components 14, bottom panel 15 and four triangular stacking corner components 13. In this embodiment, a bottom component 11 is being received into the at least two wall core section components 14. Once all the components are in place at least one embodiment of this container has been formed.
[00032] Referring to Fig 6, an assembly for forming at least another embodiment of this container, is shown, wherein at least two wall core section components 14 are placed on bottom panel 15 and then are provided for receiving a bottom component of 11 which in turn receives a flexible container member 16. After all these combinations of components have been assembled, at least another embodiment of this container is formed. This formed container may be inserted into an outer component layer 10, not shown, for the formation of a least yet another embodiment of this universal container. [00033] Referring to Fig 7, an assembly for forming at least yet another embodiment of this universal container, is shown, wherein at least six wall core section components 14, four triangular stacking comer components 13 have been positioned and inserted into a bottom 1OB of outer component layer 10, for forming yet another embodiment of this universal container.
[00034] Referring to Fig 8, an assembly of one embodiment of this universal container has been completed showing the outer component layer 10 having its bottom 1OB and top covering parts 10 mated and secured. The inner components shown in this figure being shown in hidden lines are four triangular stacking comer components 13, two wall core section components 14 and secured with securing straps 17 for forming yet another embodiment of this universal container.
[00035] Referring to Fig 9, a footprint, top view, of this universal container formed from its outer composite layer 10, which would cover a standard palette, not shown, has superimposed by hidden lines for four 55 gallon drums 18. From this superimposed positioning of the 55 gallon drums, it can be seen that the universal container of this invention provides greater volume of storage on a palette than four 55 gallon drums.
[00036] Referring to Fig 10, the universal container is shown in its collapsed stage in packages 19. These collapse stage packages 19, had been stacked four high on a pallet 20, which would be as high as four 55 gallon drums 18 if those 55 gallon drums 18 had been stacked on the palate 20. Referring now to Fig. 11, which is four palettes 20 with four 55 gallon drums 18 on each palette 20, it can be seen by comparing Fig 10 and Fig 11 the relative volumes of the universal container stored for shipment empty against 55 gallon drums, which would hold less volume, stored for shipment empty.
[00037] Referring to Fig 12, an assembly for forming at least another embodiment of this universal container, is shown, wherein four triangular stacking corner components 13 are being positioned into the bottom 1OB of outer component layer 10 for farming yet another embodiment of this universal container or as preparation for the formation of many different embodiments for this universal container. [00038] In the drawings and specification, there have been disclosed typical preferred embodiments of the invention and, although specific terms are employed, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for the purpose of limitation of the scope of the invention being set forth in the following claims.
