Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pallet container with a pallet, an outer casing and an inner container made of plastic, the outer casing being releasably connected to the pallet in the region of its lower edge and the inner container being inserted into the outer casing and being supported on the pallet, as in US Pat. A-5 110 000 known.
  • Pallet container denotes an assembly of the structure described, which can be picked up and manipulated with the aid of a pallet truck or the like.
  • the pallet is equipped with appropriate entry channels for the fork arms of a forklift.
  • the inner container is regularly blow molded from thermoplastic. It is used to hold, store and transport chemical substances in particular.
  • the outer casing which is designed as a grid made of round steel bars, is with the pallet positively connected, with the aid of locking tongues which enclose a lower round steel rod running in the circumferential direction.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop a pallet container of the construction described above so that a connection of the outer jacket with the pallet can be made and also dissolved again.
  • the pallet should be able to be freed from the outer jacket in operational use, for example in order to use the pallet elsewhere.
  • the outer jacket can be removed from the inner container in a simple manner if this is desired and if the design of the inner container is set up accordingly, taking into account the weight of the filling material.
  • the invention teaches that the retaining tongues, which fasten the lower edge of the outer casing in the receiving groove, have latching formations in the region of the tongue end, surround the latching elements of the pallet and fix the desired position of the retaining tongues in receiving pockets.
  • the receiving groove on the pallet is shaped by plastic shaping.
  • the invention teaches that the receiving pockets for the retaining tongues are formed in connection with the receiving channel towards the center of the pallet.
  • the pallet, the outer jacket and the inner jacket can have any, for example also a round, plan.
  • the arrangement is such that the pallet has a square or rectangular plan - with rounded corners - and the retaining tongues and / or the receiving pockets are arranged along the sides of the plan.
  • the retaining tongues have latching shapes in the area of the tongue end, enclose the latching elements in the pallet and fix the desired position of the retaining tongues in the receiving pocket. This can be done in such a way that a fixation of the retaining tongues is ensured when the inner container is filled, but can be easily released and removed when the inner container is emptied.
  • the pallet is elastically deformable in the area of the locking elements, that in the undeformed State of these pallet areas, the latching elements release the latching formations in the retaining tongues, and that the latching elements can be pressed into the latching formations when the inner container is filled under the influence of the weight of the filling material and under elastic deformation of the elastically deformable regions of the pallet.
  • the pallet can consist of a wide variety of materials.
  • the pallet is formed from plastic, in particular from thermoplastic recycled plastic. This can be achieved in a simple manner also with regard to the measures described for the connection of the outer casing to the pallet in that the pallet is composed of two plastic shells formed by deep drawing, the lower molded pallet feet and the upper one having the circumferential receiving groove, and that the receiving pockets through Formations are formed on the one hand the lower plastic shell and on the other hand the upper plastic shell, which formations complement each other to the plastic pockets.
  • the two plastic shells can be joined together to form the pallet by thermoplastic welding or in some other way, the insertion channels for the fork arms of a forklift being located between the pallet feet.
  • the basic structure of the pallet container shown in the figures consists of a pallet 1, an outer jacket 2 and an inner container 3 made of plastic.
  • the outer jacket 2 is detachably connected to the pallet 1 in the region of its lower edge.
  • the inner container 3 is inserted into the outer jacket and stored on the pallet 1.
  • the inner container 3 may have an outlet 4. It also has an upper end with a lid and the outer jacket 2 is guided up to the height of this upper end of the inner container, which was not drawn.
  • the pallet 1 has a circumferential receiving groove 5 for the outer jacket 2, in which the outer jacket 2 is inserted with its lower edge 6.
  • the lower edge 6 of the outer casing 2 is fastened in the receiving channel 5 by holding tongues 7.
  • the retaining tongues 7 are passed through edge-closed recesses 8 in the walls of the receiving channel 5. They cover components of the lower edge 6 of the receiving jacket 2 and are detachably fixed in the pallet 1.
  • a lattice opening of the lattice, which forms the outer jacket 2 is covered and the lower circumferential lattice rod 9 is covered. 3 that the receiving channel 5 is formed on the pallet by plastic shaping. Following the receiving channel 5, one can see receiving pockets 10 pointing towards the pallet center for the holding tongues 7.
  • the pallet 1 has a rectangular plan with rounded corners.
  • the holding tongues 7 and / or the receiving pockets 10 are arranged along the sides of the plan.
  • the retaining tongues 7 in the area of the tongue end have latching formations 11, into which latching elements 12 of the pallet 1 surround. If the latching elements 12 engage in the latching formations 11, the desired position of the retaining tongues 7 is fixed in the associated receiving pocket 10.
  • the detent formation 11 in the holding tongues 7 may be designed as a bare bore.
  • FIG. 3 shows a state of a pallet container according to the invention, in which the inner container 3 is empty.
  • the pallet 1 is formed elastically deformable in the area 13 of the locking elements 12.
  • the design is such that, in the undeformed state of the assigned area 13, the latching elements 12 sufficiently release the latching formations 11 in the retaining tongues.
  • Arrows 14 indicate how the weight of the filling material acts on the bottom 15 of the inner container 3. It then bends further and touches the top of pallet 1. It is achieved that the latching elements 12 are pressed into the latching formations 11 when the inner container 3 is filled under the influence of the weight of the filling material and under elastic deformation of the already described elastically deformable regions 13 of the pallet 1. This results in a secure locking, which also all transport stresses, shocks u. The like.
  • the pallet 1 is designed to be elastically deformable in the region of the latching elements 12 and in the undeformed state of this pallet region the latching elements 12 release the latching formations 11 in the holding tongues 7.
  • the latching elements 12 can be pressed into the latching formations 11 when the inner container 3 is filled under the influence of the weight of the filling material and under elastic deformation of the elastically deformable regions 13 of the pallet 1.
