Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements to a flexible liner for an 'ISO container.
  • ISO containers specially adapted for the carriage of bulk cargo are well known, and generally comprise a large rectangular prismatic shaped container specifically designed in modular sizes to fit on road trailers, rail trucks and container-carrying ships.
  • the top of the container will generally incorporate one or more hatches to facilitate filling of the container, and some form of hatch in the lower part of one end to allow discharge of the product.
  • the product is most commonly discharged by tipping the whole container, so that it flows out through the hatch into a hopper, rotary valve or other means by which it is transported to a silo or other receptacle.
  • the liner is usually fitted with filling sleeves located to match the positions of the hatches at the top of the container, and a hanging system to suspend it within the container.
  • the liner also incorporates a discharge sleeve which is situated behind the discharge hatch. This discharge sleeve is commonly of triangular or fishtail shape, and is folded so that when the hatch is opened, it may be unfolded and used to direct the contents into a suitable receptacle.
  • the filling sleeves are tied off, or closed in other suitable fashion, and documents relating to the consignment are commonly put into a pouch attached to the top of the liner before the hatches are closed and transport seals fitted to all doors and hatches.
  • the document pouch should be sited under the discharge hatch, so that the operative does not need to climb onto the top of the container, and also that the sample should be taken from around the discharge area for the same reasons.
  • the discharge hatch is opened after the container has been filled, the pressure of the product within the liner will make it bulge out through the hatch aperture, thereby preventing subsequent closure of the hatch, either for subsequent sealing and transport, or to await the results of sample checking.
  • a liner for a bulk cargo container having a cargo discharge hatch comprising support means in the region corresponding to the discharge hatch to prevent bulging of the liner through the discharge hatch.
  • the support means is movable from a first position in which it supports, and prevents bulging of the liner to a second a position in which the liner is not supported.
  • the support means for preventing bulging of the liner comprises a flap formed from a sheet of strong flexible material which is preferably adapted to be anchored along one edge between the lower face or floor of the liner and the container floor, and which is also preferably adapted to be secured to the container body at a point or points above the discharge hatch.
  • the liner may further comprise a discharge sleeve which is normally covered by the flap.
  • the flap is attached to the liner itself.
  • the edge of the flap is attached to the floor of the liner, the edge is trapped and secured in place under the weight of the liner when filled.
  • the edge of the flap is attached to the floor of the liner by adhesive tape or similar, but it will be appreciated that other attachment means may be employed.
  • the flap may be attached to the floor of the container and/or it may be of sufficient length to extend under the liner whereby the weight of the filled liner acts on the flap, thereby ensuring that it is trapped by the weight of the liner when filled.
  • the flap With the edge of the flap firmly secured to the floor of the liner it can be pulled up to cover that part of the liner which lies behind the discharge hatch and anchored in position to the container body so as to be taut enough to prevent bulging of the liner and the discharge sleeve, if present.
  • the flap may be anchored to the container using hooks or similar devices already provided in the container for the purpose of hanging the liner, or purposely designed anchor points can be provided in the container. Where the container anchors take the form of hooks, reinforced eyelets may be provided in the sheet which can be positioned over the hooks.
  • the flap is anchored prior to filling the liner and is anchored in such a way as to lift the front edge of the floor of the liner from the floor of the container, thus ensuring that as the liner is filled the sheet is tautened.
  • the sheet preferably comprises a material which is not prone to stretching, such as heavy duty polythene or polypropylene.
  • the material may also comprise a reinforced plastics sheet.
  • a rip cord is provided in the sheet which may be used to cut through the sheet when discharging of the liner is to be carried out. Once the sheet has been cut through the discharge sleeve is made accessible. Also, a document pouch may be provided in the sheet.
  • a small sleeve may be provided in that part of the liner which is accessible in use through the open discharge hatch.
  • this sleeve is provided in the liner at the side thereof where the liner content is likely to remain quite static.
  • the sleeve is usually closed off to prevent product from leaking out through it, but can be opened to allow a sample of product to be taken, or to admit a test probe.
  • the sampling tube may be positioned to one side of the said sheet or it may pass through a hole in the sheet.
  • the flap may extend over the liner so as to substantially fully cover that area of it which is exposed when, in use, the discharge hatch is opened.
  • the product tends to be static along the sides of the liner so that it tends to bulge in the middle, it may conveniently be triangular in shape so as to cover only that part of the liner which is subject to bulging.
  • a self venting port is provided in the liner which obviates the need for one or more of the filling sleeves to be opened prior to discharge.
  • This aperture is covered by an impermeable sheet which is folded, pleated or otherwise shaped to form corrugations so that air can be admitted but water or condensation will run off.
  • the present invention also includes a liner in accordance with the present invention in combination with a tank container.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown the discharge or rear end of a bulk liner 10 for an ISO container, with filling sleeves 11 and a discharge sleeve (not visible) located towards the bottom thereof, behind a triangular flap 12.
  • the bottom edge of the flap 12 extends under the liner 10 for a distance and is secured thereto by welding or adhesive tape.
  • Towards the apex of the flap 12 is provided a reinforced attachment point consisting of an eyelet 13, which is intended, in use, to be attached to a hook or other fixing inside the container.
  • the liner 10 is suspended within a container using conventional hangers with the filling sleeves 11 adjacent to the filling hatches therein and the discharge sleeve adjacent to the discharge hatch therein.
  • the apex of the flap 12 covering the discharge sleeve is secured to the inside of the container so as to lift the adjacent edge of the floor of the liner and place the flap under tension.
  • the liner is then filled.
  • the triangular flap supports and retains the weight of the product within the liner when the discharge hatch is opened, thereby preventing bulging of the liner which would otherwise prevent the discharge hatch from being closed. Consequently, it is possible to carry out certain operations which would otherwise have to be carried out through the filling hatches. Documentation can be carried on the liner behind the discharge hatch and the product can be sampled through the discharge hatch. To this latter end a sample extraction tube 15 is provided in the liner to one side of the flap 12.
  • the apex of the flap 12 is attached to the liner by means of welding or adhesive tape.
  • a rip cord 14 is provided behind the flap 13 and extends the full width of the flap 13. By pulling on the free end of the rip cord 14 it is possible to cut across the flap 13 to make the discharge sleeve in the liner accessible.
  • venting port provided in the front or forward face of the liner.
  • This venting port comprises an aperture filled with air permeable material 18 and covered by a pleated or corrugated flap 19 of water impermeable material. The flap hangs down over the aperture to prevent water or condensate seeping into the liner, but allows air to pass freely through the pleats therein.
