Definitions
- the invention relates to a container with flexible side-walls, used preferably to store and/or transport lumpy goods in bulk, primarily for use in the food industry, especially in cold stores. More exactly, the invention relates to a bag-shaped container with flexible side-walls, preferably to be mounted on a standardized pallet (so-called big bag) which can advantageously be used especially in the fields mentioned above.
- the Hungarian patent description No. 185 405 describes a solution for well-aired storage of agricultural products
- the Hungarian patent description No. 196 932 presents a container for storage of cereals e.g. seed-grains.
- the bottom plate of container charged with goods is subject to high stress when lifted; therefore, solutions to reinforce the bottom plate of containers suitable to be lifted were elaborated (Hungarian patent description No. 187 353).
- the bottom plate may be of less strength and, as the case may be, the container is placed on a suitable base e.g. a pallet or equivalent and is fastened by means of suitable steel structure.
- a suitable base e.g. a pallet or equivalent and is fastened by means of suitable steel structure.
- a steel structure for mounting on a standardized pallet (of size 800 x 1200 mm) suitable to be used in the meat industry is described in the Hungarian patent description No. 188 376.
- Steel structures mounted on pallets are also used in cold storage plants, that are usually fastened to the steel-reinforced edges of pallet, and consist of four L-profiles connected together by means of stiffening rods diagonally arranged.
- the space of parallelepiped shape with base area of 0.8x 1.2 m and 1.70 m height thus formed is bordered by a frame made of flat-iron.
- the space is suitable to accommodate cases or - lined with plastic panels - lumpy goods e.g. frozen green peas, vegetables scraped and cut up in bulk to be stored in cold storage.
- the operation of cold-storage industry is of seasonal character; during harvesting, the total capacity is reserved to accommodate and temporary storage of the yield, i.e. the emphasis is placed on cleaning and, possibly, cutting up the fruit and vegetables as well as freezing them within short time. Making up and packaging takes place at a later time which means that the frozen goods will be packaged, possibly cooked for conserve-making or delivered to other processing industries.
- the pallets provided with steel frame structure and, possibly, plastic panels will be removed by means of fork-lift trucks from the cold storage room and started to be discharged, mostly by means of rather complicated discharging mechanisms (see Hungarian patent description No. 188 883) or simply by lifting.
- the remaining quantity raises serious problems; in fact, according to the current practice of the cold storage industry, the remaining material is not allowed to be returned to the refrigerating room; otherwise, the goods would be congealed, as it cannot be sealed again.
- German publication document No. DE/OS/3 009 173 describes a container which has a bottom of rectangular shape and four side-walls also of rectangular shape where at least one of the side-walls is provided with an outlet opening without doorstep and a lug is arranged on the top of the same side-wall.
- This invention is aimed at eliminating the disadvantageous features of the known solutions and at developing a solution that, while maintaining the flexibility of walls of the container, is capable of preventing them from being protruded to a significant extent when loaded.
- the strength of side-walls can be increased even if the walls of the container are made of polypropylene, namely of woven structure, preferably with a polypropylene laminated additional internal lining.
- the strength of the material mentioned is the most suitable if the specific density of polypropylene lies between 150 and 250 g/m- preferably 200 g/m- with cloth density of 35 to 50/10 cm in both warp- and weft directions, and the density of laminated layer lies between 20 and 40 g/m-*- % preferably 30 g/m-*--.
- the load tests performed also confirmed that it is the reinforcement of X-shape that is the most suitable among the various kinds of reinforcement.
- the known containers of flexible wall are provided with a separate discharge opening which, in some cases, may render it difficult to use the container in a simple manner. It was also found that the inlet opening can also be used as a discharge opening, provided that the possibility of safe tilting of the container with flexible walls is ensured. Therefore, for the fastening of the container in its discharge position, it is recommended to arrange fastening elements on the side mantle that allow the quick connection.
- the container in a manner that even several outlets are arranged on the side mantle, or part of the side mantle, preferably even its full lower part - e.g. one quarter - is formed as an outlet.
- the outlet is designed as an opening on the side mantle in its full height.
- the invention relates to a container with flexible side-walls, used preferably to store and/or transport lumpy goods in bulk, primarily for use in the food industry especially in cold stores, which is of bag form connected to a pallet and preferably fit into and fastened by means of disconnectable fastening elements to a metal frame structure and is provided with an inlet opening, a side mantle and a base connected to the side mantle.
- the container is designed in a manner that, at least on the side mantle, reinforcement(s) formed from the flexible material of side mantle is (are) arranged in order to prevent the excessive deformation of the container if loaded - particularly the swelling out of the side mantle.
- the container is made of woven polypropylene, preferably provided with an additional internal lining made of polyprolilene laminated cloth.
- the solution is particularly advantageous if the specific density of polypropilene lies between 150 and 250 g/m ⁇ , preferably 200 g/m ⁇ , with cloth density of 35 to 50/10 cm in both warp- and weft directions, and the density of laminated layer lies between 20 and 40 g/m-2, preferably 30 g/m • ** • * .
- outlet(s) are arranged on the side mantle.
- the side mantle consists of rectangular side walls and the reinforcements that prevent the container from being deformed to an excessive extent when loaded are implemented from the woven polypropylene
- the container is made of, by means of sewing, preferably with thread of polypropylene of den 3000 to 4000 used.
- the side walls are reinforced according to an X-shape where the flexible material of the side mantle is taken in to an extent decreasing along the two branches of the X-shape starting from their point of intersection.
- the container is reinforced by means of several reinforcements of X-shape.
- the inlet also serves as the outlet and, on the side mantle, fastening elements that allow the quick connection are arranged for the purpose of fastening the container in its discharging position.
- Fig. 1 shows a known solution of the container with flexible side- walls
- Fig. 2 shows the preferred reinforcement on the side-wall of the container according to the invention
- Fig. 3 shows the reinforcement of multiple X-shape on the side-wall of the container according to the invention
- Fig. 4 shows a further preferred embodiment of the multiple X-shaped reinforcement.
- Fig. 1 shows a known solution of the container with flexible walls in which a 4 outlet duct as a continuation of the 4' outlet is arranged on the F I side wall.
- the container with flexible side-walls is of bag shape, connected to a 2 pallet, fit into and preferably connected by means of E disconnectable fastening elements to the S metal frame.
- the container has the NY inlet, P side mantle and L base connected to the P side mantle.
- This known solution shown in the Figure has the L base of rectangular shape and four FI , F2, F3, F4 side-walls that are also of rectangular shape.
- the container according to the invention is designed in a similar manner as the known solution shown in Fig. 1 , except that the 4' outlet arranged on the P side mantle is not necessarily the same as that used in the known solution; that is, it is not always advantageous if the 4 outlet duct is designed as a continuation of the 4' outlet.
- the 4' outlet is designed as an opening on the P side mantle in its full height.. In this latter case, the shape retaining feature that is considered to be the essence of invention shall be taken into consideration in an increased degree.
- Fig 2 shows only part of the container with flexible side wall, namely the given part of P side mantle i.e. the FI side wall where, according to the invention, M reinforcement(s) formed from the flexible material of the container are arranged in order to prevent the container from being deformed to an excessive extent - and especially, from being swelled out - when loaded.
- the container with flexible side-walls is made of woven polypropylene, preferably provided with an additional internal lining made of polypropylene laminated cloth.
- the specific density of polypropylene is between 150 and 250 g/m-2, preferably 200 g/m-2, with cloth density of 35 to 50/10 cm in both warp- and weft directions, and the density of laminated layer is between 20 and 40 g/m*-***, preferably 30 g/m-2.
- the reinforcements are arranged along the A diagonals of F I , F2, F3,
- the M reinforcement(s) is (are) implemented from the woven polypropylene of the container, by means of sewing, preferably with thread of polypropylene of den 3000 to 4000 used.
- the M reinforcements are best suited to their purpose if they are of X-shape where the flexible material of the P side mantle is taken in to an extent decreasing along the two branches of the X- shape starting from their point of intersection.
- the NY inlet is designed to serve at the same time as a discharge opening and, on the P side mantle, R fastening elements that allow quick connection are arranged.
- Fig 3 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention where the P side mantle and its F I side-wall is provided with several M reinforcements of X- shape.
- the M reinforcements can be arranged in various manner. In Fig. 3, the M reinforcements are arranged one above the other on the FI side-wall.
- M reinforcements other than X-shape can also be used; if necessary, the F I , F2, F3, F4 side-walls and parts of M reinforcements can also be overlapped.
- Fig. 4 shows a solution where the X-shapes of M reinforcements are intertwined, which ensures higher resistance to load.
- the container with flexible side-walls according to the invention can be made of woven polypropylene of either plane or circular design.
- the M reinforcements representing the essence of the invention can be implemented on the P side mantle in a simple manner, by means of sewing.
- the solution according to the invention can be used in a simple manner in various fields, preferably in the food industry, especially in the cold storage industry.
- the use of the container with flexible side-walls in the cold storage industry does not require any changes in the current cold storage practice.
- the container with flexible side-walls is fastened in the known traditional manner to the S frame structure made preferably of metal.
- the container with flexible side-walls can be filled with primarily lumpy goods , e.g. deep frozen products in a simple manner, on the one hand, and it can also be discharged quickly if necessary.
- the auxiliary device used to discharge the container Prior to the discharge of the container, the auxiliary device used to discharge the container by tilting up - e.g.
- lever system - is fastened by means of the R fastening elements arranged on the P side mantle to allow quick connection, by means of which the container can be tilted up even with a flick of the wrist.
- the R fastening elements serving for quick connection can be disconnected and the auxiliary device - e.g. some kind of lever system - removed, thus making the container suitable to be used again as described above.
- the discharge can also be accomplished through the 4' outlets.
