Definitions
- the invention relates to a bundle of compressed gas cylinders in which a plurality of compressed gas cylinders are accommodated within a cuboid bundle frame, the bundle frame protruding beyond the outer dimensions of the compressed gas cylinders at least in a vertical sense and having a bottom surface and an upper horizontal surface delimiting the bundle frame at the top.
- Compressed gas cylinders which are usually made of steel, aluminum or a composite material, are used to store compressed gases and liquids.
- cylinder bundles are increasingly being used. These are arrangements in which several compressed gas cylinders, for example 4, 6, 8, 12, 18 or 28, are combined standing or lying within a bundle frame and fluidically connected to one another by means of piping.
- the cylinder bundle is equipped with one or more gas extraction valves for gas extraction.
- Gas cylinder bundles of this type are, for example, in the DE 3 805 497 C1 or the EP 0 230 904 A2 described.
- the pallet includes a transport cage mounted on a base equipped with recesses for engaging forklift forks, in which compressed gas cylinders of various sizes are placed for transport be able.
- a transport cage mounted on a base equipped with recesses for engaging forklift forks, in which compressed gas cylinders of various sizes are placed for transport be able.
- mutually corresponding straightening and locking elements are provided on the pallets.
- the aligning elements each comprise slanted lateral guide rails on the upper horizontal surface of the transport cage and in the base, on which the pallets can be pushed one over the other in one direction, as well as protruding stoppers in the rear area (seen in the sliding direction) of the upper horizontal surface, which limit the displacement path.
- the upper pallet is driven up to the stopper and then lowered, whereby the inclined guide rails ensure that the pallets are exactly centered on top of each other.
- the stacked pallets are then locked by means of bolts which are arranged laterally on the base of the upper pallet and are provided with a spring mechanism and which engage in corresponding openings arranged in the region of the upper horizontal surface of the lower pallet.
- the arrangement known from this document is very complex in its construction and allows the forklift truck to be driven in from only one direction when the pallets are stacked on top of one another.
- the conditions for transport pallets are only partially comparable with those of bundles of compressed gas cylinders; compressed gas cylinder bundles are equipped with piping and extraction fittings, which ultimately also have an impact on the structure of the frame.
- Another difference is that the device is used to stack the pallet during transport, while the device according to the invention is used to stack the bundle when it is stored in a fixed location.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a bundle of compressed gas cylinders which is particularly suitable for stacking in stationary storage and which is simple in construction and easy to stack.
- a bundle of compressed gas cylinders of the type and purpose mentioned above is characterized in that a plurality of centering elements protrude from the upper horizontal surface and correspond to at least one centering opening in the base surface, with a centering opening in the base surface being assigned several centering elements on the upper horizontal surface.
- the centering elements are fixed or detachable to profile elements that are arranged on the upper horizontal surface of the bundle frame or are themselves part of the cuboid bundle frame, or are made in one piece with them.
- Centering elements and centering opening or centering openings correspond to one another, i.e. they are arranged within the respective area in such a way that when the compressed gas cylinder bundles are stacked, the centering elements of the respective lower bundle engage in a centering opening of the respective upper bundle and thus prevent the upper compressed gas cylinder bundle on the lower compressed gas cylinder bundle from shifting in fix at least one horizontal direction, preferably against movement in both horizontal axes.
- the centering elements are preferably arranged in such a way that when the centering elements of the respective lower bundle engage in the centering opening of the respective upper bundle, the side surfaces of the stacked bundles are essentially flush with one another.
- the centering elements are preferably designed in such a way that centering takes place automatically during stacking. If other protruding elements, such as lifting lugs, are arranged on the upper horizontal surface, suitable measures must of course be taken to ensure that these do not stand in the way of stacking the bundles of compressed gas cylinders; For example, the lifting lug can be offset downwards or sunk in relation to the upper horizontal surface, or a corresponding recess is provided in the bottom surface, into which the transport lug protrudes when stacked.
- transport lug or transport lugs themselves as centering elements which, when stacked, engage in corresponding centering openings on the bottom side.
- inventive Compressed gas cylinder bundles thus enable safe stacking during stationary storage, while at the same time easy-to-handle removal or addition of bundles from or to the stack.
- the centering elements are tapered, with a base arranged in the area of the upper horizontal surface, which at the same time has the largest cross-sectional area of the centering element, and with an end portion remote from the horizontal plane, which has a smaller cross-sectional area than the base and is formed, for example, as a tip.
- the centering elements are preferably in the form of pyramids, triangular prisms, cones or truncated cones.
- the centering openings in the bottom surface are each adapted to the base diameter of the centering elements in order to achieve reliable fixation in the horizontal plane when stacking bundles of the same type.
- centering elements on the upper horizontal surface are assigned to a centering opening in the bottom surface.
- centering elements of the lower bundle arranged in each case engage in a centering opening of the upper bundle in each case, the centering elements being arranged on at least two sides of the centering opening tightly against the borders of the centering opening in order to achieve reliable horizontal fixation.
- the centering elements assigned to the centering opening point towards one another with their end sections protruding from the upper horizontal surface, ie are arranged overall along the side edges of an imaginary pyramid or an imaginary triangular prism.
- the surfaces of the centering elements that face one another have a similar effect to the inclined surfaces of the aforementioned conical or pyramid-shaped centering elements and also lead in case of not quite exact positioning when stacking, to an automatic centering in the desired position and, if necessary, to an equally simple removal of the respective upper bundle from the stack.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the bundling frame is equipped on its upper horizontal surface and on its bottom surface with surface profiles spaced at the same distance from one another, and upwardly bent profiles are provided as centering elements on the facing edges of the surface profiles on the top side, which in Stacked state protrude into the gap between the surface profiles of the bottom surface of each upper bundle, precisely along the facing edges of the surface profiles. This ensures at least a lateral fixation of the bundle of compressed gas cylinders.
- the surface profiles can also run in the form of a strip around the bundle frame and their outer surfaces can represent the outer boundary of the bundle, with the above-mentioned centering elements being provided in the area of the upper horizontal surface, which engage in the gap between the surface profiles in the area of the bottom surface when stacked.
- suitable measures can also be provided, for example further profiles that run transversely to the surface profiles mentioned, or recesses in the floor surface adapted to the centering elements are provided in the surface profiles, or existing profiles of the frame of the bundle of bottles can be used for this purpose.
- the compressed gas cylinder bundle 1 shown comprises a number of compressed gas cylinders 2, 2', 2", which are accommodated in a manner known per se within a bundle frame 3.
- the compressed gas cylinders 2, 2', 2" are fluidically connected to one another by a pipework 5, on which, also in a manner known per se, a pressure gauge 6 and a discharge valve 7 with hand wheel 8 and discharge connection 9 is arranged.
- a pipework 5 on which, also in a manner known per se, a pressure gauge 6 and a discharge valve 7 with hand wheel 8 and discharge connection 9 is arranged.
- a pressure gauge 6 and a discharge valve 7 with hand wheel 8 and discharge connection 9 is arranged.
- additional extraction valves at which gas can be extracted at the same pressure as at the extraction valve 9 or - with the interposition of a pressure reducer at the relevant extraction valve - at reduced pressures.
- the bundle frame 3 comprises an outer frame 11, cuboid in the exemplary embodiment, made of metal profiles connected to one another, for example by welding, for example hollow steel profiles.
- the frame 11 is dimensioned in such a way that all the gas cylinders 2, 2', 2", the piping 5 and the extraction valve 7 are arranged within the outer edges of the frame 11. Additional transverse bars 12, 13 serve in particular to prevent the compressed gas cylinders 2, 2' to prevent 2'.
- the frame 11 also has a pallet-like base section 14, which allows forklift forks to be gripped and which has a base plate 15 on its underside, i.e.
- a floor panel or a grid or a frame construction made of hollow profiles is equipped.
- the upper part of the frame 11 and the frame profile 12 delimit an access opening 16 through which the extraction valve 7 is accessible and a gas connection line (not shown here) can be mounted on the extraction connection 9 .
- the bundle of compressed gas cylinders 1 is also equipped with centering elements 18, 18', which enable several bundles of compressed gas cylinders of the same type to be stacked securely.
- centering elements 18, 18' which enable several bundles of compressed gas cylinders of the same type to be stacked securely.
- several, for example four (of which in the side view in 1 only two are visible) conical or pyramid-shaped metal body is provided, each with its base firmly connected to profiles of the frame 3, for example are welded, which are arranged in the region of the upper horizontal surface 19 which closes off the frame 3 on the upper side.
- the centering elements 18, 18' correspond to centering openings 20, 20' in the base plate 15.
- the centering openings 20, 20' each have an inner diameter which is the same as or slightly larger than the base diameter of the conical centering elements 18, 18' and are in of the base plate 15 arranged in such a way that when stacking two bundles of compressed gas bottles 1, the centering elements 18, 18' engage in the centering openings 20, 20' and the side surfaces 21, 21' of the stacked bundles of compressed gas bottles are essentially flush with one another.
- the tapering (conical in the exemplary embodiment) design of the centering elements 18, 18' leads to a self-centering of the stacked compressed gas cylinder bundle 1.
- Figures 2a and 2b show a reduced representation of a bundle frame according to the invention for compressed gas cylinder bundles, each in an oblique view of the top and bottom.
- the bundle frame 25 shown for a bundle of compressed gas cylinders comprises an essentially cuboid frame 26 made of hollow profiles, within which, when installed as intended, several compressed gas bottles - which are not shown here for reasons of clarity - together with the piping and extraction connections are accommodated in such a way that the outer edges of the bundle frame 25 match the outside dimensions of the set compressed gas cylinders as well as the piping.
- Crossbars 27 are provided in order to protect the compressed gas bottles from falling out.
- the bundling frame 25 comprises an upper horizontal surface 28 terminating the bundling frame at the top and a bottom surface 29 .
- Surface profiles 30 , 30 ′ are arranged on the upper horizontal surface 28 of the bundling frame 25 .
- the surface profiles 30, 30' are, for example, essentially rectangular metal sheets arranged parallel to one another at a predetermined distance A.
- the surface profiles 30, 30' are provided with centering elements 31, 31'; 32, 32' are equipped, for example, in one piece with the surface profiles 30, 30' or are firmly connected to them, for example welded.
- a central beam 33 with a lifting eyelet 34 welded thereto enables the bundle of compressed gas cylinders to be transported by crane in a manner known per se.
- surface profiles 35, 35' are also provided, which are arranged parallel to one another and correspond in their dimensions to the surface profiles 30, 30' and whose inner edges 36, 36' have the same distance A from one another as the surface profiles 30, 30' .
- the centering elements 31, 31' When stacking two compressed gas cylinder bundles with the bundle frame 25, the centering elements 31, 31'; and in such a way that the centering elements rest against the inner edges 36, 36' of the surface profiles 35, 35' and the inner edges of the edge profiles 37, 37' and in this way fix the two bundles stacked on top of one another in both horizontal axes.
- centering elements 31, 31 '; 32, 32' corresponding centering opening is thus delimited in this exemplary embodiment by the inner edges 36, 36' and the edge profiles 37, 37' of the bundle frame 25. Due to the sloping bend and the tapering configuration of the centering elements 31, 31'; 32, 32', when stacked on top of each other, the bundles of compressed gas cylinders stacked on top of one another are automatically centered.
- the lifting eye 34 of the lower bundle of compressed gas cylinders protrudes into the free space between the surface profiles 35, 35' of the upper bundle of compressed gas cylinders and in this respect does not prevent them from being stacked.
- the two surface profiles arranged transversely to the surface profiles 35, 35' along the outer edges of the frame profile 25 are provided, by means of which a fixation against displacement forwards or backwards (instead of a fixation by the edge profiles 27, 27') can be achieved .

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Druckgasflaschenbündel, bei dem eine Mehrzahl von Druckgasflaschen innerhalb eines quaderförmigen Bündelgestells aufgenommen ist, wobei das Bündelgestell die äußeren Abmessungen der Druckgasflaschen zumindest in vertikaler Hinsicht überragt und eine Bodenfläche sowie eine das Bündelgestell oberseitig begrenzende obere Horizontalfläche aufweist.The invention relates to a bundle of compressed gas cylinders in which a plurality of compressed gas cylinders are accommodated within a cuboid bundle frame, the bundle frame protruding beyond the outer dimensions of the compressed gas cylinders at least in a vertical sense and having a bottom surface and an upper horizontal surface delimiting the bundle frame at the top.
Zum Lagern von Druckgasen und Flüssigkeiten werden Druckgasflaschen eingesetzt, die in der Regel aus Stahl, Aluminium oder einem Verbundmaterial gefertigt sind. Um einen größeren Gasebedarf eines Kunden abzudecken, kommen in zunehmendem Maße Flaschenbündel zum Einsatz. Dabei handelt es sich um Anordnungen, bei denen mehrere, beispielsweise 4, 6, 8, 12, 18 oder 28 Druckgasflaschen stehend oder liegend innerhalb eines Bündelgestells zusammengefasst und mittels einer Verrohrung strömungstechnisch miteinander verbunden sind. Zur Gasentnahme ist das Flaschenbündel mit einem oder mehreren Entnahmeventilen ausgerüstet. Gasflaschenbündel dieser Art werden beispielsweise in der
Ist eine Mehrzahl von Druckgasflaschenbündeln auf einem Werksgelände abzustellen, werden diese aus Sicherheitsgründen nebeneinander angeordnet. Das Stapeln von Druckgasflaschenbündeln wurde bislang mangels sicherer Fixierungsmöglichkeit der Bündelstapel und/oder aufgrund von Handhabungsschwierigkeiten beim Aufeinandersetzen der Bündel oder beim Entnehmen der Bündel vom Stapel weitgehend unterlassen. Auch machen häufig die spezielle Geometrie der Bündel oder etwaige von der oberen Horizontalfläche vorstehenden Elemente, wie beispielsweise Tragösen, das Aufeinanderstapeln unmöglich.If a number of compressed gas cylinder bundles are to be parked on a factory site, they are arranged next to one another for safety reasons. The stacking of pressurized gas cylinder bundles has hitherto largely been omitted due to the lack of a secure fixation option for the stack of bundles and/or due to handling difficulties when stacking the bundles on top of one another or when removing the bundles from the stack. Also, the special geometry of the bundles or any elements protruding from the upper horizontal surface, such as lifting lugs, often make stacking impossible.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein insbesondere zur Stapelbarkeit bei einer ortfesten Lagerung geeignetes Druckgasflaschenbündel zu schaffen, das einfach im Aufbau und unkompliziert zu stapeln ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a bundle of compressed gas cylinders which is particularly suitable for stacking in stationary storage and which is simple in construction and easy to stack.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Druckgasflaschenbündel mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung werden in den Unteransprüchen beansprucht.This object is achieved with a bundle of compressed gas cylinders having the features of patent claim 1 . Advantageous developments of the invention are claimed in the dependent claims.
Ein Druckgasflaschenbündel der eingangs genannten Art und Zweckbestimmung ist erfindungsgemäß also dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass von der oberen Horizontalfläche eine Mehrzahl von Zentrierelementen vorstehen, die wenigstens mit einer Zentrieröffnung in der Bodenfläche korrespondieren, wobei einer Zentrieröffnung in der Bodenfläche mehrere Zentrierelemente auf der oberen Horizontalfläche zugeordnet sind.According to the invention, a bundle of compressed gas cylinders of the type and purpose mentioned above is characterized in that a plurality of centering elements protrude from the upper horizontal surface and correspond to at least one centering opening in the base surface, with a centering opening in the base surface being assigned several centering elements on the upper horizontal surface.
Die Zentrierelemente sind dabei mit Profilelementen, die auf der oberen Horizontalfläche des Bündelgestells angeordnet oder selbst Teil des quaderförmigen Bündelgestells sind, fest oder lösbar verbunden oder einstückig mit diesen ausgeführt. Zentrierelemente und Zentrieröffnung bzw. Zentrieröffnungen korrespondieren einander, d.h. sie sind innerhalb der jeweiligen Fläche derart angeordnet, dass beim Stapeln der Druckgasflaschenbündel die Zentrierelemente des jeweils unteren Bündels in eine Zentrieröffnung des jeweils oberen Bündels eingreifen und damit das obere Druckgasflaschenbündel am unteren Druckgasflaschenbündel gegen eine Verschiebung in zumindest eine horizontale Richtung, bevorzugt freilich gegen eine Bewegung in beiden horizontalen Achsen, fixieren. Bevorzugt sind die Zentrierelemente derart angeordnet, dass beim Eingreifen der Zentrierelemente des jeweils unteren Bündels in die Zentrieröffnung des jeweils oberen Bündels die Seitenflächen der gestapelten Bündel im Wesentlichen bündig zueinander verlaufen. Die Zentrierelemente sind dabei bevorzugt so ausgestaltet, dass beim Stapeln selbsttätig eine Zentrierung erfolgt. Sind andere vorstehende Elemente, wie beispielsweise Tragösen, an der oberen Horizontalfläche angeordnet muss selbstverständlich durch geeignete Maßnahmen dafür gesorgt werden, dass diese der Stapelbarkeit der Druckgasflaschenbündel nicht im Wege stehen; Beispielsweise kann die Tragöse gegenüber der oberen Horizontalfläche nach unten versetzt oder versenkbar angeordnet sein, oder in der Bodenfläche ist eine entsprechende Ausnehmung vorgesehen, in die im Stapelfall die Transportöse vorsteht. Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist es übrigens auch vorstellbar, die Transportöse bzw. die Transportösen (falls mehrere vorhanden sind) selbst als Zentrierelemente einzusetzen, die im Stapelfall in entsprechende Zentrieröffnungen auf der Bodenseite eingreifen. Das erfindungsgemäße Druckgasflaschenbündel ermöglicht so eine sichere Stapelung während einer ortsfesten Lagerung, bei gleichzeitig einfach zu handhabender Entnahme oder Hinzufügung von Bündeln vom bzw. zum Stapel.The centering elements are fixed or detachable to profile elements that are arranged on the upper horizontal surface of the bundle frame or are themselves part of the cuboid bundle frame, or are made in one piece with them. Centering elements and centering opening or centering openings correspond to one another, i.e. they are arranged within the respective area in such a way that when the compressed gas cylinder bundles are stacked, the centering elements of the respective lower bundle engage in a centering opening of the respective upper bundle and thus prevent the upper compressed gas cylinder bundle on the lower compressed gas cylinder bundle from shifting in fix at least one horizontal direction, preferably against movement in both horizontal axes. The centering elements are preferably arranged in such a way that when the centering elements of the respective lower bundle engage in the centering opening of the respective upper bundle, the side surfaces of the stacked bundles are essentially flush with one another. The centering elements are preferably designed in such a way that centering takes place automatically during stacking. If other protruding elements, such as lifting lugs, are arranged on the upper horizontal surface, suitable measures must of course be taken to ensure that these do not stand in the way of stacking the bundles of compressed gas cylinders; For example, the lifting lug can be offset downwards or sunk in relation to the upper horizontal surface, or a corresponding recess is provided in the bottom surface, into which the transport lug protrudes when stacked. Incidentally, it is also conceivable within the scope of the invention to use the transport lug or transport lugs (if there are several) themselves as centering elements which, when stacked, engage in corresponding centering openings on the bottom side. The inventive Compressed gas cylinder bundles thus enable safe stacking during stationary storage, while at the same time easy-to-handle removal or addition of bundles from or to the stack.
Um eine zuverlässige Zentrierung zu erreichen und zugleich die Handhabung der Druckgasflaschenbündel durch einen Gabelstapler zu erleichtern, ist es besonders vorteilhaft, dass die Zentrierelemente verjüngend ausgebildet sind, mit einer im Bereich der oberen Horizontalfläche angeordneten Basis, die zugleich die größte Querschnittsfläche des Zentrierelements aufweist, und mit einem von der Horizontalebene entfernten Endabschnitt, der eine kleinere Querschnittsfläche als die Basis aufweist und beispielsweise als Spitze ausgebildet ist. Bevorzugt sind die Zentrierelemente zu diesem Zweck dementsprechend jeweils pyramiden-, dreieckprismen- kegel- oder kegelstumpfförmig ausgebildet. Beim Stapelvorgang wird dadurch eine selbsttätige Zentrierung in die gewünschte Position erreicht, selbst wenn zunächst nur eine etwas ungenaue Positionierung des oberen Bündels über dem unteren Bündel erfolgt. Die Zentrieröffnungen in der Bodenfläche sind jeweils dem Basisdurchmesser der Zentrierelemente angepasst, um beim Stapeln gleichartiger Bündel eine zuverlässige Fixierung in der Horizontalebene zu erreichen.In order to achieve reliable centering and at the same time to facilitate the handling of the bundle of compressed gas cylinders by a fork lift truck, it is particularly advantageous for the centering elements to be tapered, with a base arranged in the area of the upper horizontal surface, which at the same time has the largest cross-sectional area of the centering element, and with an end portion remote from the horizontal plane, which has a smaller cross-sectional area than the base and is formed, for example, as a tip. For this purpose, the centering elements are preferably in the form of pyramids, triangular prisms, cones or truncated cones. As a result, automatic centering in the desired position is achieved during the stacking process, even if initially the upper bundle is only positioned somewhat imprecisely over the lower bundle. The centering openings in the bottom surface are each adapted to the base diameter of the centering elements in order to achieve reliable fixation in the horizontal plane when stacking bundles of the same type.
Erfindungsgemäß sind einer Zentrieröffnung in der Bodenfläche mehrere Zentrierelemente auf der oberen Horizontalfläche zugeordnet. Im Stapelfall greifen also mehrere Zentrierelemente des jeweils unteren angeordneten Bündels in eine Zentrieröffnung des jeweils oberen Bündels ein, wobei die Zentrierelemente an wenigstens zwei Seiten der Zentrieröffnung eng an die Umrandungen der Zentrieröffnung anliegend angeordnet sind, um eine zuverlässige horizontale Fixierung zu erreichen. Zweckmäßig ist dabei, dass die der Zentrieröffnung zugeordneten Zentrierelemente mit ihren von der oberen Horizontalfläche vorstehenden Endabschnitten aufeinander zu weisen, also insgesamt entlang der Seitenkanten einer imaginären Pyramide oder eines imaginären Dreieckprismas angeordnet sind. Die aufeinander zu weisenden Flächen der Zentrierelemente wirken in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ähnlich wie die schrägen Flächen der vorgenannten konischen oder pyramidenförmigen Zentrierelemente und führen auch bei nicht ganz exakter Positionierung beim Stapeln zu einer selbsttätigen Zentrierung in die gewünschte Position und im Bedarfsfalle zu einem ebenso einfachen Abnehmen des jeweils oberen Bündels vom Stapel.According to the invention, several centering elements on the upper horizontal surface are assigned to a centering opening in the bottom surface. When stacked, several centering elements of the lower bundle arranged in each case engage in a centering opening of the upper bundle in each case, the centering elements being arranged on at least two sides of the centering opening tightly against the borders of the centering opening in order to achieve reliable horizontal fixation. It is expedient here that the centering elements assigned to the centering opening point towards one another with their end sections protruding from the upper horizontal surface, ie are arranged overall along the side edges of an imaginary pyramid or an imaginary triangular prism. In this exemplary embodiment, the surfaces of the centering elements that face one another have a similar effect to the inclined surfaces of the aforementioned conical or pyramid-shaped centering elements and also lead in case of not quite exact positioning when stacking, to an automatic centering in the desired position and, if necessary, to an equally simple removal of the respective upper bundle from the stack.
Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Bündelgestell an seiner oberen Horizontalfläche und an seiner Bodenfläche mit voneinander im gleichen Abstand beabstandeten Flächenprofilen ausgerüstet ist, und als Zentrierelemente an den einander zugewandten Kanten der oberseitigen Flächenprofile nach oben aufgebogene Profile vorgesehen sind, die im Stapelzustand in die Lücke zwischen den Flächenprofilen der Bodenfläche des jeweils oberen Bündels vorstehen, und zwar genau entlang der einander zugewandeten Kanten der Flächenprofile. Dadurch wird eine zumindest seitliche Fixierung der Druckgasflaschenbündel gewährleistet. Die Flächenprofile können dabei auch bandförmig rund um das Bündelgestell verlaufen, und mit ihren Außenoberflächen die äußere Begrenzung des Bündels darstellen, wobei im Bereich der oberen Horizontalfläche die vorerwähnten Zentrierelemente vorgesehen sind, die im Stapelfall in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Flächenprofilen im Bereich der Bodenfläche eingreifen. Um eine Fixierung in der gesamten Horizontalebene zu erreichen, können weiterhin geeignete Maßnahmen vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise weitere Profile, die quer zu den erwähnten Flächenprofilen verlaufen, oder in den Flächenprofilen sind den Zentrierelementen angepasste Ausnehmungen der Bodenfläche vorgesehen, oder vorhandene Profile des Rahmengestells des Flaschenbündels werden zu diesem Zweck benutzt.A particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the bundling frame is equipped on its upper horizontal surface and on its bottom surface with surface profiles spaced at the same distance from one another, and upwardly bent profiles are provided as centering elements on the facing edges of the surface profiles on the top side, which in Stacked state protrude into the gap between the surface profiles of the bottom surface of each upper bundle, precisely along the facing edges of the surface profiles. This ensures at least a lateral fixation of the bundle of compressed gas cylinders. The surface profiles can also run in the form of a strip around the bundle frame and their outer surfaces can represent the outer boundary of the bundle, with the above-mentioned centering elements being provided in the area of the upper horizontal surface, which engage in the gap between the surface profiles in the area of the bottom surface when stacked. In order to achieve fixation in the entire horizontal plane, suitable measures can also be provided, for example further profiles that run transversely to the surface profiles mentioned, or recesses in the floor surface adapted to the centering elements are provided in the surface profiles, or existing profiles of the frame of the bundle of bottles can be used used for this purpose.

Das Bündelgestell 3 umfasst einen äußeren, im Ausführungsbeispiel quaderförmigen Rahmen 11 aus beispielsweise durch Verschweißen miteinander verbundenen Metallprofilen, beispielsweise Hohlprofile aus Stahl. Der Rahmen 11 ist so bemessen, dass alle Gasflaschen 2, 2', 2", die Verrohrung 5 sowie das Entnahmeventil 7 innerhalb der Außenkanten des Rahmens 11 angeordnet sind. Zusätzliche Querholme 12, 13 dienen insbesondere dazu, ein seitliches Herausgleiten der Druckgasflaschen 2, 2', 2" zu verhindern. Um den Transport des Druckgasflaschenbündels 1 zu erleichtern, weist der Rahmen 11 des Weiteren einen palettenartigen, das Eingreifen von Staplergabeln ermöglichenden Bodenabschnitt 14 auf, der auf seiner Unterseite, also der Seite, auf der das Druckgasflaschenbündel 1 im bestimmungsgemäßen Zustand steht, mit einer Bodenplatte 15, beispielsweise ein Bodenblech oder ein Gitter oder eine Rahmenkonstruktion aus Hohlprofilen ausgerüstet ist. Der obere Teil des Rahmens 11 und das Rahmenprofil 12 begrenzen eine Zugangsöffnung 16, durch die hindurch das Entnahmeventil 7 zugänglich ist und eine hier nicht gezeigte Gasanschlussleitung am Entnahmeanschluss 9 montiert werden kann.The
Das Druckgasflaschenbündel 1 ist zudem mit Zentrierelementen 18, 18' ausgerüstet, die ein sicheres Stapeln von mehreren Druckgasflaschenbündeln des gleichen Typs ermöglichen. Als Zentrierelemente 18, 18' sind im Ausführungsbeispiel mehrere, beispielsweise vier (von denen in der Seitenansicht in

Beim Aufeinanderstapeln zweier Druckgasflaschenbündel mit dem Bündelgestell 25 greifen die Zentrierelemente 31, 31'; 32, 32' des unteren Druckgasflaschenbündels in den Raum zwischen den Flächenprofilen 35, 35' auf der Bodenseite 29 des oberen Druckgasflaschenbündels sowie in den Raum zwischen dem vorderen und hinteren Kantenprofil 37, 37' der bodenseitigen Rahmenprofile des Bündelgestells 25 des oberen Druckgasflaschenbündels ein, und zwar derart, dass die Zentrierelemente an den Innenkanten 36, 36' der Flächenprofile 35, 35' sowie der Innenkanten der Kantenprofile 37, 37' anliegen und auf diese Weise die beiden aufeinander gestapelten Bündel in beiden horizontalen Achsen fixieren. Die mit den Zentrierelementen 31, 31'; 32, 32' korrespondierende Zentrieröffnung wird bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel also durch die Innenkanten 36, 36' sowie die Kantenprofile 37, 37' des Bündelgestells 25 begrenzt. Aufgrund des schrägen Aufbugs und der spitz zulaufenden Ausgestaltung der Zentrierelemente 31, 31'; 32, 32' kommt es beim Aufeinanderstapeln zu einer selbsttätigen Zentrierung der aufeinandergestapelten Druckgasflaschenbündel.On the
