Definitions

  • the present invention relates to logistics equipment.
  • the invention relates to thermally insulated roll containers. More specifically, the invention relates to a nesting roll container and a thermally insulating cover according to the preambles of claims 1 and 12.
  • the prior art discloses roll containers with fixed insulation panels that are typically made of expanded polystyrene.
  • the disadvantage of these roll containers is that they are nonnesting, i.e. they cannot nest.
  • the Japanese patent JP 2772947 B2 discloses a foldable and nesting roll container that can be queued when collapsed. This has several disadvantages.
  • the walls and roof must be folded away manually for queuing, the container folds away into a semi-collapsed "L formation", i.e. "W formation” nesting cannot be implemented, and the insulation material is rigid, i.e. the insulating panels must be manually folded away for nesting to be possible.
  • the aim of the present invention is achieved with a novel nesting roll container which is configured to receive an outer thermally insulating cover and has rearward descending bevelled sidewalls. More specifically, the roll container according to the present invention is characterized by the characterizing portion of claim 1.
  • the aim of the invention is achieved with a novel thermally insulating cover which includes two opposing side portions which have a rearward descending up- per edge and which each are configured to cover a rearward descending bevelled side wall of a roll container.
  • the cover also includes a rear portion which connects the side portions and which is configured to cover a rear wall of the roll container.
  • the cover has a top portion which connects the side portions and which is configured to cover the top of the roll container.
  • the cover also has an openable front portion which is hinged to the front edge of the top or side portion such that the front portion is configured to be guided to a closed position, wherein the front portion connects the side portions and covers the front of the roll container, and to an open position, wherein the front portion is folded adjacent to the top or side portion.
  • the cover is thus configured to envelop a nesting roll container. More specifically, the roll container according to the present invention is characterized by the characterizing portion of claim 12.
  • a nesting roll container with thermal insulation may be constructed such that the thermally insulating cover remains in place when a plurality of roll containers is arranged in a nesting formation, i.e. queuing configuration.
  • This has a further benefit of not having to remove the thermal insulation structure from the roll container when storing empty container, which is the case with known thermally insulating roll containers.
  • the novel cooperating solution enables thermally insulating and nesting roll containers.
  • the bevelled side portion of the cover and on the other hand the bevelled side wall of the roll container enable the use of a fixed top portion in the cover which has sufficient room to nest beneath a similar top portion in a nesting configuration.
  • the roll container is easy to handle compared to known roll containers.
  • the fixed top portion may be provided with no seams between the top, rear, side and front portions, which is especially advantageous for thermal insulation.
  • Fig. 1 shows an isometric front view of a roll container equipped with a thermally insulating cover which is in an open position
  • Fig. 2 shows an isometric view from the underside of the roll container of Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 3 shows a front elevation view of roll container of Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 4 shows an isometric rear view of the roll container of Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 5 shows an isometric front view of the roll container of Fig 1 with the thermally insulating cover being in a closed position and equipped a document pouch
  • Fig. 6 shows an isometric rear view of the roll container of Fig. 5
  • Fig. 7 shows an isometric front view of five nested roll containers of Fig. 5, and
  • Fig. 8 shows an isometric rear view of the five nested roll containers of Fig. 7.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates one exemplary embodiment in which a nesting roll container 100 is fit- ted with an outer thermally insulating cover 200.
  • the nesting roll container 100 has rearward descending bevelled side walls 102 and a rear wall 103 and the nesting roll container 100 is tapered, i.e. the rear wall 103 of the roll container 100 is narrower than the front of the container on nesting.
  • the rearward bevelled side walls 102 provide a space for the top portion of the cover 200 to fit underneath the top portion of a cover of a simi- lar subsequent roll container in a queue of nested roll containers.
  • the bevelled profile of the side wall 102 means that, at the front of the roll container 100, the side wall 102 has a height - i.e. vertical extension - which is greater than the height of the side wall 102 at the rear of the roll container 100.
  • the top frame piece of the side wall 102 is therefore rearward descending.
  • the sidewalls 102 are preferably hinged to further accommodate nesting.
  • the front of the roll container 100 means the face or side of the container which is intended for loading and unloading. It is also the face or side which is used for receiving the rear face or side of another similar roll container for nesting.
  • the rear of the roll container 100 means the side or face or wall of the container opposite to the front.
  • the rear wall is the face or side which is used for embedding the container via the front face or side of a receiving container in nesting.
  • the rear wall may be perceived as the "back wall" of the container.
  • Side walls are the panel elements connecting the front side and rear wall in a mutually parallel manner and orthogonally in respect to the front and rear sides or faces.
  • the top and bottom sides are similarly panel elements connecting the front side and rear wall in a mutually parallel manner and orthogonally in respect to the front and rear sides or faces.
  • the nesting roll container 100 includes a chassis 101.
  • the sidewalls 102 are pivotally attached to the front end of the chassis 101 in such a way that the sidewalls 102 can be moved towards each other at the rear of the container 100.
  • the chassis 101 is preferably an A-frame or, more preferably, an H-frame chassis.
  • the rear wall 103 of the roll container 100 includes an accordion folding, i.e. the rear wall 103 folds in on itself, and in a further embodiment the rear wall 103 includes two hinged halves 103 a, 103b which may be folded inwards about a hinge (Fig. 3) between the two halves. When folded in, the rear halves 103a, 103b reduce the width of the rear of the roll container 100 to assist nesting (Figs. 7 and 8).
  • the nesting roll container 100 includes a liftable floor 106, which is essentially solid, i.e. not made of mesh or other substantially open structure, in order to minimise the amount of heat exchange through the bottom of the roll container 100 and in a preferred example the liftable floor 106 is made of a polymer, more preferably poly- ethene which has suitable heat insulating properties for maintaining the inner temperature of the container.
  • the floor 106 acts as a bottom side of the container.
  • the thermally insulating cover 200 includes two opposing side portions 202 with a rearward descending upper edge.
  • each rearward descending upper edge of the opposing side portions 202 is configured to cover a rearward descending bevelled side wall 102 of a roll container 100.
  • the side portions 202 of the cover therefore has at its front a height which corresponds to that of the side wall 102 and which is greater than its the height of the side portion 202 at the rear of the roll container 100, which rear height also corresponds to the rear height of the side wall 102.
  • the thermally insulating cover 200 includes a rear portion 203 connecting the side portions 202 and is configured to cover a rear wall 203 of the roll container 100.
  • the thermally insulating cover also includes a top portion 204 connecting the side portions 202 and is configured to cover the top of the roll container 100.
  • the top portion 204 of the cover forms the top side of the roll container 100.
  • the cover 200 further includes an openable front portion 201 which is hinged to the front edge of the top 204 or side portion 202.
  • the front portion 201 is configured to be guided to a closed position, wherein the front portion 201 connects the side portions 202 and covers the front of the roll container 100 (Fig. 6).
  • the front portion 201 is also configured to be guided to an open position, wherein the front portion 201 is folded adjacent to the top 204 or side portion 202 (Fig. 4).
  • the thermally insulating cover 200 is configured to envelop a nesting roll container 100.
  • the insulating cover 200 is attached to the roll container 100, more specifically to the side walls 102 thereof, by means of a Velcro strips or similar detachable fixing means.
  • the front portion 201 of the cover 200 is adapted to be detachably fixed to the side portions 202 by means of a Velcro strips or similar detachable fixing means.
  • the thermally insulating cover 200 is made of flexible tarpaulin sheets with thermal insulating properties.

  • An overall heat transfer coefficient of 0,9 W/(m 2 -K) can be achieved with relatively a thin insulating tarpaulin weighing about 300 g/m 2 which is suitably light for the present purposes.
  • the material preferably has a thermal conductivity value, i.e. so called lambda value, of about and including 0,048 W/mC. Slight deviations from the values given above are possible without departing from the technical effect of such a thermally insulating cover.
