Definitions

  • the invention concerns a container for liquids according to the preamble of claim 1 .
  • Containers for liquids are known in multiple embodiments. For example, it is known to store liquids in bottles. Oil, on the other hand, can be stored in large oil barrels.
  • the present invention concerns containers in the most general sense with respect to the type of liquids as well as the quantity of liquid.
  • a known special shape of containers for liquids provides that they have a triangular cross-section. These triangular cross-sections are always isosceles triangles, i.e., the sides of the triangle are of the same length. This means that the sides of the triangle define between them an angle of 60 degrees, respectively.
  • the technical solution is characterized by the features in the characterizing portion of claim 1 .
  • the cross-section is an isosceles triangle wherein specifically the two legs of identical length of this triangle define a right angle between them.
  • This has the very great advantage that a plurality of containers can be positioned in a very compact configuration because the peripheral contour of the package of containers forms a square or a rectangle. This means that absolutely no space is lost due to air interstices.
  • the containers can be provided with one or two openings.
  • larger containers also have two openings, in general, a large opening for emptying and a smaller opening for venting, as is conventional in case of barrels.
  • a preferred embodiment according to claim 2 proposes that the cross-section is the same across the entire height of the hollow body.
  • the embodiment according to claim 3 proposes that the closure of the opening can be plugged in or screwed on.
  • conventional closures can be employed, in particular screw closures.
  • also closures can be employed which are plugged in, in particular also clipped on.
  • closures are round or, in accordance with the shape of the container, are also triangular. Likewise, any other shape or form of the closure can be employed. In particular, these closures are designed such that they do not project past the peripheral contour of the hollow body.
  • the embodiment according to claim 5 proposes that the hollow body is made of glass, sheet metal, steel or plastic material.
  • the container according to the invention can be produced from any conventional material.
  • claims 6 and 7 propose possibilities in order to assemble several of these containers to larger units.
  • Claim 6 concerns in this context the horizontal variant and claim 7 the upright variant.
  • FIG. 1 a a first embodiment of the container with a round closure
  • FIG. 1 b a somewhat different view of the container of FIG. 1 a;
  • FIG. 2 a the containers of FIGS. 1 a and 1 b in the stacked state
  • FIG. 2 b the containers of FIGS. 1 a and 1 b in the upright assembled state
  • FIG. 3 a a second embodiment of the container with a round closure
  • FIG. 3 b a somewhat different view of the container of FIG. 3 a;
  • FIG. 4 a the containers of FIGS. 3 a and 3 b in the stacked state
  • FIGS. 1 a and 1 b how a first embodiment of a container for liquids.
  • the container has in this context a hollow body 1 with a topside opening 2 .
  • This opening 2 can be closed by a round closure 3 in the form of a screw closure.
  • the special feature of this container resides in the cross-sectional shape of the hollow body 1 .
  • the cross-sectional shape is triangular. More specific, the shape is an isosceles triangle whose two identical legs define an angle of 90 degrees between them.
  • FIG. 2 a thus shows a total of four such containers as they are stacked in horizontal position.
  • the basic principle resides in this context in that first two containers are placed with their long legs onto the support surface. Into the formed V-shaped area between them, a third container is inserted, namely with the 90 degree angle pointing downwardly. Onto this third container, a fourth container can be placed, here with the 90 degree angle at the top.
  • This system can be continued endlessly in that next to the lowermost containers further containers are placed laterally and further containers are stacked thereon.
  • FIG. 2 b shows the containers when positioned in upright form.
  • the basic idea resides in that always two containers are assembled in pairs contacting each other wherein the triangles are contacting each other with their long sides.
  • FIGS. 3 a and 3 b differs from the first embodiment variant only in that the closure 3 is not round but has a triangular shape.
  • the cross-sectional contour of this triangular closure 3 is embodied likewise as an isosceles triangle.
  • FIGS. 4 a and 4 b show then the situation in accordance with FIGS. 2 a and 2 b when the containers are stacked or, in upright position, are assembled while standing.
