Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of material handling. More particularly, the invention relates to a container.
  • Containers are widely used for package, storage and transportation of commerce items.
  • Bulk containers are a well-known type of such containers, generally rectangular shaped and made of thermoplastic material, such as high density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP), allowing low manufacturing costs, reduced weight, sturdiness and the ability to be easily cleaned.
  • HDPE high density polyethylene
  • PP polypropylene
  • Many bulk containers are provided with lids that allow closure of the container, in addition to stacking of two or more container on one another.
  • a particularly important sturdiness consideration is the stacking of containers on one another that requires increased support of the contact points between the top and bottom containers.
  • Some commercially available containers comprise vertical support columns, the bottom sides of which are suitable to fit on the top sides of support columns of another container.
  • a filled bulk container is required to be liftable mechanically with the aid of material handling equipment. Accordingly, the base of many bulk containers comprises skids allowing the containers to be lift by a forklift. Such lifting requires the forklift to have access to one of the sides of the container, which is not always possible.
  • Other bulk containers comprise handling elements (e.g. handles), either in the form of recesses or protrusions, which allow the containers to be lifted from above by attaching chains or straps to the handling elements and lifting the chains or straps, for instance, by a crane.
  • handling elements e.g. handles
  • these handling elements are located at one of the sturdiest components of the container, i.e. at the vertical support columns of the containers.
  • the present invention relates to a container comprising a rectangular base made of thermoplastic material, a plurality of vertical support columns integrally formed with said base and a plurality of side walls located between two vertical support columns, which are integrally formed with said base. At least two of said side walls are provided with handling elements from which the container can be suspended.
  • the handling elements are provided adjacent to the support columns. According to another embodiment of the invention, the handling elements are provided at two parallel side walls. According to yet another embodiment of the invention, each handling element is provided adjacent to a vertical support column.
  • the handling elements typically (but not limitatively) comprise a top side opening, an internal wall, an external wall, a passage between said walls, and a bottom side opening.
  • the side walls comprise an internal side facing the base and an external side facing away from the base, and the handling elements are provided on the external side of said side walls.
  • the container further comprises aligning members suitable for reversibly stacking two or more containers.
  • the container further comprises skids suitable for lifting and tilting the container with a forklift.
  • the present invention relates to a rectangular shaped lid for the container, which comprises openings and aligning members suitable to bring the openings into operational positioned relationship with the handling elements of the container.
  • the container may be coupled with a lid, such that the opening in the lid allows access to the handling elements of the container from above the lid when the lid is placed on the container.
  • the lid further comprises aligning members suitable for stacking lidded containers.
  • the present invention relates to a container-lid combination, comprising a container formed by a rectangular base made of thermoplastic material, a plurality of vertical support columns integrally formed with said base, a plurality of side walls located between two vertical support columns, which are integrally formed with said base, handling elements from which the container can be suspended, and a rectangular shaped lid comprising openings and aligning members suitable to bring said openings into operational positioned relationship with the handling elements of said container.
  • Figs. 1A and IB show perspective views from the top and bottom sides, respectively, of a container, according to an embodiment of the present invention
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B show enlarged perspective views of a handling element, according to an embodiment of the present invention

  • Openings 112 in rim 110 allow insertion of a lifting element through and past handling 111.
  • Handling element 111 comprises an internal wall 201 and an external wall 202.
  • a passage 203 is formed between opening 112, walls 201 and 202, and an opening 204 on the bottom side of handling element 111.
  • a lifting element passed through opening 112 and passage 203 may be further passed through opening 204 to the bottom side of handling element 111.
  • a container according to the present invention may by lifted by a lifting element comprising a holding member that is configured to be brought from a closed position to an expanded position.
  • a lifting element comprising a holding member that is configured to be brought from a closed position to an expanded position.
  • the lifting element In the closed position the lifting element is able to pass through handling element 111, while in the expanded position the lifting element is prevented from passing through handling element 111.
  • This configuration is suitable for passing the lifting element in its resting position through opening 112, passage 203 and opening 204, and, in its expanded position, lifting container 101 from the handling element. Accordingly, in order to allow lifting of a heavily loaded container 101 from handling elements 111, they contain a sufficient amount of material to withstand such heavy weight.
  • Fig. 4A shows a lifting element 401 with a holding member 402 in an expanded position, sufficient to lift container 101.

  • Fig. 5A schematically illustrates lifting element 401 attached to a chain 501 engaging rim 110 at the top side of opening 112, and therefore holding member 402 obtaining a closed position.
  • Fig. 5B shows lifting element 401 after exiting opening 204, wherein holding member 402 engages the bottom side of external wall 202 and is in position to lift container 101.
  • the handling elements 111 are provided along the walls of container 101 generally adjacent to support columns 103, thereby enhancing sturdiness of the handling elements while not compromising the sturdiness of the support columns.
  • Lifting container 101 from handling elements on the walls thereof causes collapsing forces between the handling elements (i.e. along the walls from which the container is not lifted). Points that are far from a handling element is applied with increased collapsing forces than points that are close to a handling element. Recognizing that the collapsing forces are lower on wide side walls 105 than on side walls 106, handling elements 111 are provided along wide side walls 105 (rather than narrow side walls 106) and are merged therewith, causing handling elements 111 to reinforce side walls 105 and side walls 105 to support handling elements 111. The reinforcement is enhanced by external wall 202 being arranged around the top rib 113 of container 101 (as shown in Fig. 2B), which in particular contributes to support of the side wall while lifting the container.
  • rim 110 defines the boundaries of container 101. Due to the fact that handling elements 111 do not project beyond the external side of rim 110, the net size of container 101 is not influenced thereby.
  • the peripheral skids of a high container are laid on the rims 110 of the bottom container and the aligning members cooperatively arrange the stack in a unified structure.
  • narrow portions 107a in the peripheral skids 107 allow access to handling elements 111 of the bottom container, and a lifting element may be passed through the handling elements of top containers to the handling elements of the bottom container so as to allow the unified structure of stacked containers to be lifted unitedly.
  • container 101 further comprises one or more drainage openings (not shown in the Figs.) provided in one or more of the side walls 105 and/or 106, for draining fluids outwards from the container.
  • the exterior of side walls 105 and/or 106 comprises areas that may be utilized for various indications, such as information regarding the contents of the container.
  • Fig. 3 shows a perspective exploded view of container 101 and a container lid 301, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Lid 301 comprises aligning members (e.g. 302), the position and shape of which correspond to aligning elements 108 and 109 such that when lid 301 is placed upon a first container 101 and a second container 101 is placed upon lid 301, the male aligning member 109 of the first container is inserted into bottom female side of aligning member 302 and the top male side of aligning member 302 is inserted into the female aligning member 108 of the second container.
  • Lid 301 further comprises sunken areas (e.g. 303) and risen areas (e.g. 304) such that skids 107 of a container 101 that is placed on top of lid 301 fit in sunken areas 303 and are prevented from moving to the sides.
  • sunken areas e.g. 303
  • risen areas e.g. 304
  • Lid 301 further comprises openings (e.g. 305) the shape, size and location of which correspond to openings 112 in the container's rim 110 such that when the lid is placed upon a container 101 openings 305 grant access from above the lidded container to handling elements 111. Due to the shape of the bottom side of container 101, and as can be seen in Fig. IB, openings 305 are not blocked when a container is placed upon the lid due to narrow portions 107a in skids 107. Accordingly the handling elements 111 of a lidded container 101 remain accessible when another container is placed thereupon.
  • container 101 and lid 301 are made of thermoplastic material such as, but not limited to, high density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP).
  • HDPE high density polyethylene
  • PP polypropylene
