Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Flexible containers for fluids The present invention provides an inner container made of a flexible material and a flexible material surrounding the inner container. a support means comprising a support means in the direction of the axis of symmetry of the support means for receiving the stabilizer. The present invention relates to a flexible container for fluids having a channel in the form of a channel.

Such containers are currently well known in various fields of the art.

This container is used for the shipping and storage of different fluids, e.g. liquids and high-temperature cargoes. It will be done. This container is manufactured in a variety of different sizes. For example, 500 liters , 800 liter and 1000 liter containers. this container is intended to be disposable and is delivered folded to the user.

Push the stabilizer into the channel of the support means and fasten it to the support structure before filling the container do. This structure may be, for example, a conventional pallet or a structure specially designed for this purpose. It may also be a pallet. Stabilizers hold the containers in place on the pallet.

As mentioned above, the stabilizer is placed in a channel provided in the support means. child The channel may, for example, be a pocket that is closed at the top and opens downwards ( , formed by sewing a longitudinal strip of material to the outer surface of the support means.

A strip of material is sewn onto the outer surface of the support means at both long edges. child The width of the strip of material is determined by the width of the stabilizer on the outer surface of the supporting means and the strip of this material. selected to fit the space defined by the inner surface of the

The problem with such known solutions is that the implementation of these solutions is cumbersome and, in other words, If so, two seams would be required to form each channel. Labor today The known solutions are therefore relatively expensive. many more Another disadvantage is that the manufacturing time required for sewing the seams is relatively short. For example, transportation If the space available for cooling is slightly smaller than the space in the non-cooled vehicle, Problems sometimes arose regarding the means of transportation chosen. In such a case, this space The number of containers that can be stored in the space is the total number of containers that can be stored in the non-cooled space. The space for is not filled.

The aim of the invention is to obtain a container that makes it possible to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art. Ru. This object is achieved by the container of the invention, which container has a flexible channel. formed from a strip of flexible material, the strip of material being bent form a loop, the ends of which are overlapped, and the loop-shaped strip is the main Support means consisting of flexible material at the edges which must be qualitatively overlapped characterized by being attached to the inner surface of In particular, the present invention has the advantage that channels can be formed in a particularly suitable manner, and Now, two channels can also be formed by a single seam or the like. other benefits In particular, the solution according to the invention provides a container with two essentially planar opposite sides. This allows the container to occupy a given space better than traditional containers. It is to adapt to the A further advantage of the invention is its simplicity, which makes it Therefore, it is inexpensive to put the present invention into practical use.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

According to an essential feature of the invention, the channel 3 is a strip of flexible material. 8. The strip of material 8 is bent to form a loop, both of which The edges are overlapped. The looped strips 8 are overlaid. attached to the inner surface of the support means 2 of flexible material at the required edges; It is being The length of the strip of material 8 must correspond to the height of the support means 2. It is assumed that For example, as shown in Fig. It is formed so that

The strip 8 of flexible material is preferably attached to the support means 2 by a single seam 9. attached to the inner surface of the Said seam 9 joins both edges of the strip 8. Preferably, the seams are the same as the seams that are joined together. This arrangement is particularly shown in Figure 8. is well shown. This arrangement allows the channel for the stabilizer to form a single seam It can be obtained with

However, both edge ends of the strip of material 8 are tied together by one seam. (and the attachment to the support means 2 is done with another seam) It is obvious that this is a good thing.

FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of the invention regarding channel formation. Figure 9 is the same as Figure 8. It is formed in a similar way. The support means are referenced 12 and the channels are numbered 13. , the stabilizer is rated 14, the strip of flexible material is rated 18, and the seam is rated 14. 19. In this embodiment of FIG. 9, the strip of flexible material The taps 18 are arranged to form two channels 13. This channel 1 8 bends the strip 18 to form a loop, and connects both edges to the center of the loop. It is formed by making it necessary to overlap each other. Here you can see "Essentially a loop" The expression "in the center of the material" means that the loop is flat and both edges are located in the center of the material. This means that it is mandatory to This arrangement is clearly shown in Figure 9. Ru. The strip of material 18 is attached to the support means 12 at said overlapping edges. Attached to the inner surface. This attachment is preferably done in the first place as in FIG. 19. This seam 19 can be used, for example, to join both edges of the strip 18 together. The seams may be the same as the seams used to connect the seams. However, the support means 12 Attachment to may be effected by special seams as previously shown in the example of FIG. most Ideally, using this arrangement two channels 13 can be obtained by a single seam 19. It will be done.

Therefore, the reduction in workload is considerable compared to the conventional method.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the container according to the invention, the width of the strip 8.18 of material is From the joining point of the strip and the support means 2.12, i.e. from seam 9 to the bottom of the loop The length of the loop is equal to the distance between the connection point and the stabilizer 4, 14 furthest from the connection point. It is chosen so that it also has a large value. The expression "bottom of the loop" here refers to the seam The loop was stretched so that the part of the material between the bottom of the loop and the bottom of the loop was straight. if the length of said part is greater than the distance between the seam and the farthest point of the stabilizer; means. Therefore, the width of the strip of material is such that the stabilizer is in channel 3.13. The strips 8, 18 are chosen so that they do not become taut when pressed. material If the width of the trip is chosen in this way, in other words when the inner container is empty, When the filling strip loosens and the container is then filled, the two opposite sides of the container It has been found that an essentially planar shape can be obtained. This planar form is the seventh clearly shown in the figure. A strip of material that touches the inside surface of the stabilizer and extends toward the seam. Trip 8.18 section is bent outwards when the inner container is full, i.e. safe. Further bending around the fixture results in a planar surface. In such cases, inward a force directed toward the center of the container occurs at seam 9.19; Try to keep the sides straight along with the seams. As a result, two The result is a container with straight sides. If placed in order, a certain number of such contents A vessel fits into a smaller space than an equal number of vessels with a circular cross section. Therefore shipping In this case, there are substantial advantages over the prior art.

The above embodiments are not intended to limit the invention in any way ( The invention may be varied freely within the scope of the claims. Therefore, the container of the present invention or its Pond type solutions are also possible, although details do not necessarily have to be shown exactly in the diagram. It is. For example, the use of seams to attach strips of material to supporting means This is not the only possibility (other solutions such as adhesives, heat seams, Various hooks etc. may be used as well depending on the material used for the strip and the supporting means. It is possible to use Any material can be used as long as it meets the strength requirements. good.

Such materials include, for example, textile materials, plastic-reinforced textile materials. , plastic materials, etc.
