Definitions

  • FLCs Flexible Large Containers
  • FLCs comprise relatively rigid, individually collapsible and erectable side panels (these are alternatively called “walls”).
  • the cross-sectional thickness of the lid is not the same or not generally uniform across the lid’s extension. It is preferable, however, if the lid is made of a polymeric material, that the lid has a generally uniform cross-sectional thickness, for ease of manufacturing, for example by injection moulding.
  • any raised surface portions on the lid underside which correspond to any bottom surface portions on the lid outer side, may correspond to container stacking features for stacking containers on top of each other when fully erected, or when folded.
  • such zones correspond to the conventional pallet skids.
  • Other configurations are however possible.
  • said sloping surface portions may have an inclination that goes from a lower level corresponding to a bottom of the lid underside, to an upper level measured at an edge of the lid underside, to direct water towards said edge during rotation.
  • this upper level substantially corresponds to the aforementioned raised level measured at the raised surface portions of the lid underside.
  • FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of an SPC comprising another removable lid as described herein;
  • the lids 107 shown in Figures 2, 3, 8 and 9 also comprise further water-guiding features 200 in the form of one or more drainage channels 118 arranged to discharge the water from the lid 107 during rotation of the lid 107 around the rotation axis z.
  • Each drainage channel 118 extends away from the lid’s border 113, with a slight outward slant.
  • the drainage channels 118 have a substantially U-shaped fluidic cross section, and are formed, in particular, on a skirt 117 that wraps around the lid 107 and the lid underside 111.
  • Each channel 118 has an inlet 118i in fluidic connection with the corresponding corner 114 of the lid underside 111.
  • Each channel also has a fluidic outlet 118o that discharges water during rotation from the lid’s skirt 117.
  • one or more drainage channels 118 as one of the water guiding features 200 described herein is in principle independent from the presence of such skirt 117. Also, it can be appreciated that, given that the water is moved centrifugally, the channel 118 has aptly been designed with said generally U-shaped fluidic cross section having an opening accessible by water incoming from the inside of the lid 107, or of the folded container assembly 110.
