Description

Container for the transport of products, in particular in the form of spools.

The present invention relates to a container for transporting products, in particular in the form of bobbins, which container is designed to be moved by cranes, forklifts, overhead cranes or container carriers.

US2003106822 discloses a container for transporting various products, including those having a circular cross-section, the floor of which container is provided with hinged cover plates. In the closed position, the wings of said cover plates form one plane with the floor, thereby allowing the products to be transported on pallets or to have a stable base. In the open position, said wings are folded out to open the cavities below the floor of the container and as a result provide two support points for oval objects that are horizontally positioned.

In case the article in question has a large diameter, the support points are provided by tilted wings which, in the open position, form an extension of the floor cavity. A disadvantage of this solution, according to the invention, is that the container floor must be sufficiently thick to provide sufficient space for sufficiently deep cavities. As a result, while maintaining the standard dimensions of the container, the amount of space available inside the container is reduced.

In patent application WO2008107626 there is shown a container whose floor is adapted to carry cylindrical objects. The container is provided with a set of rotating carriers in the floor. The supports can be arranged perpendicular or parallel to the longer axis of symmetry of the floor.

In the closed position of the carrier, it forms one plane with the floor, while in the open position of the carrier it forms a trough in the shape of an inverted isosceles trapezoid that provides three support points for oval objects. In this solution, the mechanism that blocks the carriers in the open and closed positions is located below the carrier. The container is also provided with a fixed, removable roof, whereby the products can also be loaded and unloaded from the container by cranes or a forklift. Due to the fact that the carriers for oval objects are narrow, the line of contact with the object is short. Therefore, at least two carrier pairs are required to ensure high stability of the oval object being transported. In the case of a short object, the distance between each carrier pair may be too large for such an object to be held by the two carrier pairs. In addition, the system that locks the carriers in the closed and open positions is subject to rapid wear due to the relatively small dimensions it exerts in the case of heavy loads, high forces.

It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide a container having a floor which is adapted to carry cargo on pallets, free-standing, and cylindrical objects such as steel coils, and which provides high stability for transporting objects regardless of their length while still resistant to mechanical damage.

The present invention provides a container for transporting products, in particular in the form of coils, the container comprising a floor, two side walls, a front wall, a door with a lock and a removable fixed roof with a fastening mechanism. wherein the carriers are grouped into at least one pair, positioned along a longer axis of symmetry, opposed to each other and forming a horizontal plane in the closed position with the floor, while forming a trough in the raised position. This solution is characterized in that the rotatable carrier, which is part of one pair, is made of a wing which is connected to the wing carrier or a wide wing which is connected to the wide wing carrier. The wing and the wide wing are movably connected to the floor by means of hinges which are located on one of their edges. In addition, the sash and the wide sash are movably connected by the other edge to the sash carrier or the wide sash carrier. The floor has two grooves that are parallel to each other and are located on both sides of the longer axis of symmetry of the floor. The grooves lie horizontally below the wing carriers or wide wing carriers.

Preferably, the wing and wide wing, and the wing carrier and the broad wing carrier are rectangular in shape. The floor preferably has two pairs of wings and two pairs of wing carriers of corresponding length, which are located at the shorter ends of the floor, and between them are two pairs of broad wings and wide wing carriers of corresponding width. The wing and wing carrier are narrower than the broad wing and wide wing carriers. Preferably, the wing and wing carrier have three hinges, while the broad wing and wide wing carriers have five hinges. The wing and wide wing are provided with two oval gripping parts. In addition, the sash and wide sash are provided with a non-slip layer. The non-slip layer is made of rubber. Preferably, the fastening mechanism on the roof consists of two locking bars that are located perpendicular to the longer edges of the roof. At the edges of the roof there is a sheet rubber gasket that meets the side walls, the front wall and the beam. Conveniently on top • ·

St ·· * ·· * ...... · roofs are provided with two large grips, which are located along the long axis of symmetry of the roof and whose holes are parallel to the longer edges of the roof, and four small grips, which are located near the roof longer roof edges and whose openings are perpendicular to these edges. Preferably, the lock of each door leaf consists of two locking bars. A leaf rubber gasket is provided at the door edges. Each door leaf preferably has a latching hook. Each of the side walls has two roof fastening mechanisms which are connected to the locking bars. Each of the side walls has door holders that are compatible with the latch hook. Preferably, the floor is provided with small suspended rectangular flaps which are located on opposite sides of the longer axis of symmetry of the floor, the flaps being mounted on long hinges and located below wing carriers lying horizontally and / or wide wing carriers. The floor has two rectangular through holes that are located below its usable layer and are parallel to the shorter axis of symmetry of the roof, the spacing of these holes being identical to the spacing of the two large gripping parts located on the roof. Two air holes are provided on each of the side walls below the upper edge. Preferably, the usable floor layer is made of a flat plate. The door frame infill consists of a flat panel with a shaped section, while the side wall, front wall and roof structure infill is made of a trapezoidal panel, with the roof surface in the area extending between its longer edges and large and small grips. is made of flat plate. Preferably, the roof frame filler is a flat plate with a shaped section. Eight small gripping portions are provided on each side wall along its upper and lower edges. Above the upper edge of the door is a beam which is detachably connected to the side walls. Preferably, corner mounting members are provided at the corners of the container structure. Preferably, corner fasteners are provided at the corners of the container structure.

An advantage of the invention is to provide a container that is adapted to carry objects on pallets, free-standing objects and oval objects such as steel coils. The solution according to the invention makes it possible to carry oval objects of different lengths. In the case of transporting short coils, only one carrier can be used to stabilize them and the rest of the floor can be left flat. This allows the container surfaces to be maximized. The long line of contact of the cylindrical article with the carrier provides more friction and therefore greater stability of the article in case of movement of the container. In addition, the mounted anti-slip layer increases friction. In addition, the large surface of the carrier consisting of wings and wing carriers increases its resistance to mechanical damage. Also, the simple connection system of the individual carrier members makes their assembly and disassembly as well as the replacement of damaged parts simple.
