Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bulkhead for use with container liners. 5 More particularly, the present invention relates to a bulkhead for use with container liners wherein the bulkhead allows the container liner to be loaded with bulk product and then safely sealed with preferably just a single supporting bar structure. 0 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
- a bulkhead for a liner comprising:
- the present invention relates to a bulkhead for use with container liners which allows the container liner (which is a flexible item) to be loaded with bulk product and then safely sealed with a reduced number of supporting bar structures to that previously used which typically uses three bars.
- the present invention therefore relates to using less than three bars such as one supporting bars.
- the bulkhead may be used with shipping containers.
- the end section may be of a substantially rectangular shape with flaps (e.g. substantially rectangular) attached to a side of the end section.
- the end section may be substantially rectangular in shape with three substantially rectangular flaps attached separately to three of the sides of the end section.
- the end section may along with the flaps may be of a substantially planar nature until they are folded into a form ready for use. Once folded, the bulkhead may be of an open-box like structure.
- the at least one flap may be capable of engaging and/or abutting against at least part of a container liner and/or container as the liner is filed with bulk material.
- ties which may be used to secure the bulkhead to a container.
- the ties may be of any suitable form of attachment means and may, for example, be in the form of webbing or straps.
- a re-sealable member such as a hook and loop fastener e.g. a Velcro (Registered Trade Mark) member.
- the bulk material may be discharged through the opening and then re-sealed.
- the flaps may be folded to be substantially orthogonal with the end section to form an open-box like structure.
- One flap may extend under a liner with two other flaps extending around the sides of the liner.
- the flaps may therefore form an enclosure for a front part of the container liner which may be within a container (e.g. a shipping container).
- bars e.g. a steel bar
- one or two supporting bars may be used to safely seal the end section when the liner is filled with bulk material (e.g. powder material).
- the bar(s) may extend substantially horizontally across the top of the end section and/or or across an upper or middle portion of the end section.
- the bulkhead may be made from any suitable material which may be woven or non-woven such as polymeric material e.g. woven polypropylene.
- the bulkhead may provide restraining means to the container liner as it fills.
- the flaps extending around the side of the container liner may provide some support as does the flap which extends under the liner.
- As force is applied to the end section with the filling of the bulk material may be slightly forced out so that the flaps abut and/or engage with the sides of the container. There may therefore be a transfer of force to the container front doors and/or sides of the container.
- This present invention allows an opened door (e.g. the right-hand door) to be closed when the liner is fully filled.
- a method of providing restraining means to a container liner comprising:
- the method may use the bulkhead as defined in the first aspect.
- a container liner and a bulkhead as defined in the first aspect.
- the provision of this invention in having the liner-bag as a separate entity to the bulkhead is so that the liner-bag is the waste fraction, and the bulkhead may be re-used.
- the liner-bag is usually made from polyethylene film, whereas for the strength required of the bulkhead, polypropylene fabric is used. The combination of these two materials makes recycling of the waste element impracticable, and so this invention in keeping the bulkhead separate from the liner-bag aims to make the packaging more environmentally friendly, and promotes sustainable development.
- Figure 1 is a plan view of a bulkhead according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the bulkhead shown in Figure 1 in an arrangement ready for use.
- the present invention resides in the provision of a bulkhead for use with container liners.
- the container liners may be used in shipping containers.
- FIG. 1 represents a bulkhead according to the present invention, generally designated 10.
- the bulkhead 10 comprises an end section 12 and three connected flaps 14, 16, 18.
- the end section 12 and the flaps 14, 16, 18 may be of a unitary structure or connected to one another).
- the ties 20 may be of any suitable form of attachment means and may, for example, be in the form of webbing or straps.
- an opening 22 Located towards a lower region of the end section 12 there is an opening 22 which can be closed with a re-sealable member such as a hook and loop fastener e.g. a Velcro (Registered Trade Mark) member. Material in the container liner may exit through the opening 22.
- a re-sealable member such as a hook and loop fastener e.g. a Velcro (Registered Trade Mark) member.
- Material in the container liner may exit through the opening 22.
- Figure 2 shows the bulkhead 10 in a configuration ready to be used.
- the flaps 14, 16 are folded to be substantially orthogonal with the end section 12.
- the flap 18 extends under the container thereby forming an enclosure which forms a bulkhead for container liners.
- bar 30 e.g. a steel bar
- the bar 30 extends substantially horizontally across the top of the end section 12. (In alternative embodiments the bar 30 may extend across an upper portion of the end section 12).
- the bulkhead 10 is made from any suitable material such as polymeric material e.g. woven polypropylene.
- the bulkhead 10 In use, and as a container liner is filled, the bulkhead 10 provides restraining means to the container liner as it fills to prevent bulging at the front end.
- the flaps 14, 16 extending around the side of the container liner provide some support as does the flap 18 which extends under the liner. This means that the right-hand door can still closed when the liner is fully filled. This also provides the advantage in that the bulkhead 10 is much safer than a user trying to force the container doors shut which may result in injury. Material may exit through the opening 22 and may then be re-sealed with a re-sealable flap.
- a further advantage of the bulkhead according to the present invention is that as the bulkhead 10 is separate from the liner, the bulkhead 10 can be reused with the liner being disposed of once used. This provides significant environmental benefits and reduces waste. By use of only one or two bars also reduces the weight of the packaging (i.e. the liner and other associated items) by about 10 - 15 kg. This also allows more material to be transported in the container.
