Definitions

  • the invention relates to transport and storage containers for Liquids, with a pallet-like base from one electrically conductive material, a replaceable Inner container made of plastic with four side walls, one lower and an upper floor, an upper lockable Filling opening and a lower outlet opening with a Emptying device as well as a lattice or sheet metal jacket trained outer jacket.
  • EP 0 699 599 A1 describes an electrically grounded one Packaging containers for storing and transporting solid, liquid and pasty products that act as self-supporting Containers or as inliners or adjustable containers in load-bearing Outer containers such as corrugated cardboard boxes, wooden boxes, Lattice box pallets or barrels can be used.
  • the Packaging container consists of a multilayer Composite film combination consisting of an outer layer of the Container acting polymer film with Barrier properties, an intermediate layer from one electrically conductive material and another that Inner layer of the packaging film forming polymer film is constructed.
  • the inner layer of the packaging container is perforated, so that accumulating in the contents, electrostatic Charges through the openings in the inner layer the electrically conductive intermediate layer can flow, the via electrical contact points with a grounding system in Connection is established.
  • EP 0 014 491 A1 describes a double-walled storage tank for flammable liquids known to one through an outer wall formed from steel and a plastic inner wall Has monitoring room that is connected to a leak detector can be connected, which can work with positive or negative pressure.
  • the invention is based, the generic transport and storage containers for liquids to avoid electrostatic charging when filling with liquids and when removing liquids simple way to ground electrically.
  • the invention is based on a transport and Storage container for liquids with a plastic inner container, one as a metal mesh jacket or as Sheet metal jacket trained outer jacket and a pallet-like base is equipped in the Flow opening of the emptying device between the Drain valve of the same and the inner container an earthing part made of an electrically conductive material, preferably metal, to arrange that to an externally inserted, electrical conductive connecting element, preferably a metal screw with a ground connection to the base of the container, is connected so that electrical charges that are if necessary when filling and emptying the transport and Storage container and when stirring liquids in the container e.g.
  • the invention is based on a Sectional view of an emptying device of a transport and Storage container explained.
  • the transport and can be used as a disposable and reusable container Storage container 1 for liquids has as main components interchangeable inner container 2 made of polyethylene with four Side walls, a lower one, designed as a drainage floor Bottom, an upper bottom with a through a screw cap closable filler neck and a lower one Outlet opening 3 with an emptying device 4, which consists of a Outlet nozzle 5 with an emptying valve 6, one as Grid jacket formed outer jacket made of metal, a Pallet-like base with a base tray made of sheet metal positive reception of the plastic inner container 2 and two metal cover struts to protect the inner container 2 on.
  • interchangeable inner container 2 made of polyethylene with four Side walls, a lower one, designed as a drainage floor Bottom, an upper bottom with a through a screw cap closable filler neck and a lower one Outlet opening 3 with an emptying device 4, which consists of a Outlet nozzle 5 with an emptying valve 6, one as Grid jacket formed outer jacket made of metal, a Pallet-like base with a base tray made of sheet metal
  • the floor pan stands up with a certain ground clearance Corner and middle feet and a foot frame or skids so that the Floor pan for transporting the transport and storage container 1 from four sides of the gripper arms of a transport device, e.g. a forklift can be driven under.
  • the feet and the The foot frame or the runners are made of metal or one electrically conductive plastic, e.g. Polyethylene with a Partition black produced.
  • the pallet-like base of the Transport and storage container 1 has length and Width dimensions.
  • the outlet nozzle 5 For receiving the screw 7 is on the outlet nozzle 5 radially to the passage opening 10 of the emptying device 4 outwardly directed screw socket 11 arranged, the one blind hole 12 open to the outside for receiving the screw 7 having.
  • the wall 13 of the outlet nozzle of the emptying device 4 is when screwing the screw 7 into the blind hole 12th penetrated.
  • the screw socket 11 has one at its free end Ring approach 14 for sealing the screw 7 by a fixed Tightening the screw head 15 against the ring shoulder 14, the screw 7 additionally through the threads is sealed.
  • the grounding part 8 is as a part of itself the inner circumference of the passage opening 10 of the emptying device 4 extending sheet formed, the central opening 16 of the shaft 17 of the screw 7 is penetrated, which Earthing part 8 firmly against the wall of the passage opening 10 is dressed.
  • the earthing part 8 and the screw 7 preferably exist made of stainless steel.
  • An alternative, but not part of the invention could consist of a grounding part 8, which also in other places with Liquid-filled space of the container 1, i.e. for example in the inner container 2, is arranged, wherein in this case, the screw-in connector 11 on the corresponding Place of the outer wall of the inner container 2 is provided.
