  • the intermediate bulk containers (IBC) consist of a 275 gallon container mounted to a skid or pallet.
  • a wire mesh cage is also mounted to the skid and surrounds the container on all four sides. The top of the container is generally exposed. Additional pallets or intermediate bulk containers can accordingly be stacked for shipping and storage.

  • the alignment means 22 includes two alignment wings or pair of tabs located on either side of the clipping mechanism 20.
  • the alignment wings or pair of tabs can be upstanding alignment wings.
  • the protruding member 16 adapted to slide into a sliding guide member 18 ensures that the first supporting member 12 and a second supporting member 14 are assembled easily and correctly. With known gland retaining clips the supporting members slip as there are no guiding means. Thereby the assembly means 16 and 18 ensure that the first supporting member 12 and a second supporting member 14 are aligned correctly to ensure that they are assembled easily, snugly and quickly.
  • the clipping mechanism 20 and the alignment means 22 are located on the edge of the first supporting mem ber 12 and a second supporting member 14 opposite to the assembly means 16 and 18.
  • the first supporting mem ber 12 and a second supporting member 14 and its components are respectively integrally formed, made of plastics material and injection moulded.
  • the gland retaining clip 10 in accordance with the invention thus is adapted to be easily, quickly and snugly assembled and is adapted to fit snugly and ensure alignment in all intermediate bulk container openings having differing size variants.
  • the gland retaining clip 10 (generally 2") comprises two identical parts that are clipped together around a gland and into the outlet opening of an intermediate bulk container to prevent the gland from moving out of this position or from rotating when decanting tools are fitted or removed from the gland. Accordingly the gland retaining clip interfaces effectively with all required intermediate bulk containers (I BC).
  • the flexible collapsible bags of the intermediate bulk containers are made of plastics material, such as polyester.
  • the intermediate bulk container has a capacity of 50 to 500 gallons (or about 189 to 2000 litres).
  • the flexible collapsible bag in accordance with the invention provides for a method for a quick and labour-saving method for locating a flexible collapsible container into an intermediate bulk container and for locking the outlet means of the flexible collapsible container to the outlet of the intermediate bulk container.
  • FIG. 15 to 19 various images illustrating the method of installation of the gland retaining clip according to the invention are shown.
  • the 2" gland retaining clip in accordance with the invention is installed by trained personnel as follows: (a) Two 2" gland retaining clip parts (the first supporting member 12 and the second supporting member 14) are clipped and assembled together around a gland 26 at a production facility;
  • the gland retaining clip 10 is clipped into the outlet opening 28 of the intermediate bulk container by a distributor, either by pushing it into the opening from the inside of the intermediate bulk container or by pulling it into the opening from the outside of the intermediate bulk container.
  • the clipping mechanism 22 locking with the locking member 30 of the outlet opening 28 ensures that the gland retaining clip is clipped into position and prevents the gland retaining clip 10 and the gland 26 from moving out of this position or from rotating.
  • the abutting means 24 ensures that the gland retaining clip 10 is kept in position where the locking member 30 of the outlet opening 28 is somewhat larger than normal whereas the alignment means 22 ensures that the gland retaining clip 10 is correctly positioned in the outlet opening 28 where the locking member 30 of outlet opening 28 is somewhat smaller - hence the alignment wings of the alignment means 22 stop against the locking member 30 - accordingly the liner is kept in position (also no tools are used);
  • Assembly of a tamper cap may happen before or after distribution.
