Abstract

The rectangular skip is open to the top and has a pair of lifting stubs (10) on each of the long sides. These are gripped by the conventional lifting slings attached to the lifting arms to transfer the skip between the vehicle and the ground. Two parallel hollow ducts (11) along the length of the base provide a grip for the forks of a fork lift truck. The skip has vertical end faces and has a length not greater than the width of the transport vehicle. This allows it to be stacked on the vehicle alongside similar skips. Additional grips on the end faces allow the skip to be gripped by hooked ends of lifting/tipping arms. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen nach oben offenen Container für den Transport von Abfallstoffen, insbesondere Schrott, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an open-topped container for the transport of waste materials, in particular scrap, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Abfallcontainer für den Transport von Abfallstoffen, wie z.B. Schutt oder dergleichen, werden üblicherweise mit sogenannten Absetzkipperfahrzeugen transportiert. Diese Fahrzeuge weisen eine Hubvorrichtung in Form eines doppelten Schwenkarms auf, an denen jeweils ein Geschirr befestigt ist, das an Aufhängezapfen an den Seitenwänden der Container befestigt werden kann. Mittels dieser Hubvorrichtung werden die Container, die üblicherweise eine muldenförmige Gestalt mit vertikalen Seiten- und geneigten Stirnwänden haben, parallel zur Längsachse des Fahrzeugs über dessen rückwärtiges Ende abgesetzt bzw. aufgeladen; der Transport solcher Container mit anderen Fahrzeugen ist nicht ohne weiteres möglich.Waste containers for the transport of waste materials, e.g. Rubble or the like is usually transported using so-called demountable trucks. These vehicles have a lifting device in the form of a double swivel arm, to each of which a harness is fastened, which can be fastened to hanging pegs on the side walls of the containers. By means of this lifting device, the containers, which usually have a trough-shaped shape with vertical side walls and inclined end walls, are deposited or loaded parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle via its rear end; the transport of such containers with other vehicles is not easily possible.

Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen universell verwendbaren Container zu schaffen, der sowohl mit den bekannten Absetzkipperfahrzeugen, als auch mittels beliebiger anderer Hubgeräte bzw. Transportmittel auf- und abgeladen sowie transportiert werden kann.Against this background, the object of the invention is to create a container which can be used universally and can be loaded and unloaded and transported both with the known skip loader vehicles and with any other lifting equipment or means of transport.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Container mit den im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.This object is achieved by a container with the features specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous further developments result from the subclaims.

Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, den Container nicht nur mit den an sich bekannten Aufhängezapfen für das Geschirr eines Absetzkipperfahrzeugs zu versehen, sondern auch Vorkehrungen für den Angriff der Gabel eines Gabelstaplers vorzusehen, die zweckmäßigerweise am Boden angeordnet werden. Wenn die Länge des Containers gleich oder geringer ist als die im Hinblick auf die Straßenverfahrbarkeit maximale Breite der Pritsche eines Lkw, dann gelingt es, einen oder mehrere Container von der Seite her mittels Gabelstapler auf die Pritsche des Lkw aufzusetzen. Durch die gleichzeitige Anordnung der Aufhängezapfen besteht auch die Möglichkeit, den Container durch beliebige andere kranartige Hebezeuge auf- oder abzuladen, insbesondere auch durch ein übliches Absetzkipperfahrzeug, das von der Seite her quer an den betreffenden Lkw heranfahren und die Container nacheinander entnehmen und in an sich bekannter Weise durch Kippen mittels eines Kipphakens entleeren kann.The basic idea of the invention is to use the container not only with the hanging pins known per se for the To provide dishes of a skip loader vehicle, but also to provide precautions for attacking the fork of a forklift, which are expediently arranged on the floor. If the length of the container is equal to or less than the maximum width of the platform of a truck in terms of road mobility, then one or more containers can be placed from the side onto the truck platform using a forklift. Due to the simultaneous arrangement of the suspension pins, there is also the possibility of loading or unloading the container by any other crane-like lifting equipment, in particular also by a conventional skip loader vehicle, which approaches the relevant truck from the side and removes the containers one after the other and in itself can empty in a known manner by tilting by means of a tilting hook.

Für das Recycling von Schrott ergibt sich ein besonderer Vorteil dadurch, daß diese Container in leerem Zustand als Zuladung zu Stahltransporten vom Stahlwerk zu einem Abnehmer gebracht und in gefülltem Zustand bei der Rückfahrt des leeren Fahrzeugs auf dessen Pritsche zum Stahlwerk zur Verwendung des Schrotts zurückgebracht werden können. Da auf der Pritsche eines für den Stahltransport entsprechend langen Lkw mehrere Container untergebracht werden können, erspart man sich dadurch mehrere Fahrten mit einem eigenen, für den Transport nur eines Containers eingerichteten Absetzkipperfahrzeugs.A particular advantage for the recycling of scrap results from the fact that these containers can be brought from the steelworks to a customer in the empty state as a payload for steel transport, and can be returned to the steelworks in the filled state when the empty vehicle returns on its platform to the steelworks for use of the scrap . Since several containers can be accommodated on the platform of a truck that is long enough to transport steel, this saves you from having to travel several times with your own skip loader vehicle that is set up to transport only one container.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigt

The invention is explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. It shows
Fig. 1
a container according to the invention partly in longitudinal section, partly in side view,
Fig. 2
the container in front view and
Fig. 3
a top view of the container.

Der erfindungsgemäße Container 1 hat, wie Fig. 3 zeigt, rechteckigen Grundriß; er besteht aus zwei vertikalen Seitenwänden 2 und 3, zwei ebenfalls vertikalen Stirnwänden 4 und 5 sowie einem Boden 6. Horizontale Verstärkungen 7 und 8, z.B. in Form von U-Profilen, umgeben den oberen Rand des Containers 1 bzw. die Seiten- und Stirnwände (2, 3, 4, 5) in halber Höhe. Die Verstärkungen 7 und 8 sind an den Seitenwänden 2 und 3 durch vertikale Verstärkungen 9 miteinander verbunden, an denen die Aufhängezapfen 10 für das Geschirr eines - nicht dargestellten - Absetzkipperfahrzeugs befestigt sind.The container 1 according to the invention, as shown in FIG. 3, has a rectangular plan; it consists of two vertical side walls 2 and 3, two likewise vertical end walls 4 and 5 and a bottom 6. Horizontal reinforcements 7 and 8, e.g. in the form of U-profiles, surround the upper edge of container 1 or the side and end walls (2, 3, 4, 5) at half height. The reinforcements 7 and 8 are connected to one another on the side walls 2 and 3 by vertical reinforcements 9, on which the suspension pins 10 for the dishes of a skip loader vehicle (not shown) are fastened.

An der Innenseite des Bodens 6 befinden sich in Längsrichtung des Containers 1, also parallel zu den Seitenwänden 2 und 3, zwei tunnelförmige Hohlräume 11, sogenannte Gabeltunnel, welche die Stirnwände 4 und 5 des Containers 1 durchdringen. In diese Gabeltunnel 11 können von den Stirnseiten des Containers 1 her die Gabeln eines Gabelstaplers eingeführt werden. Durch die vertikale Ausrichtung der Stirnwände 4 und 5 kann der Gabelstapler bis dicht an die jeweilige Stirnwand heranfahren und den Container 1 aufheben oder absetzen.On the inside of the base 6 there are two tunnel-shaped cavities 11, so-called fork tunnels, which penetrate the end walls 4 and 5 of the container 1, in the longitudinal direction of the container 1, that is to say parallel to the side walls 2 and 3. The forks of a forklift can be inserted into these fork tunnels 11 from the end faces of the container 1. Due to the vertical alignment of the end walls 4 and 5, the forklift can move up to the respective end wall and lift or set down the container 1.

Die Länge L, die Breite B und die Höhe H des Containers 1 sind so gewählt, daß das Volumen des Containers 1 demjenigen eines üblichen Containers entspricht; allerdings sollte die Länge L gleich oder kleiner sein als die maximale Breite der Pritsche eines Lkw, so daß ein oder mehrere dieser Container von der Seite her in Querrichtung auf einen Lkw aufgeladen werden können.The length L, the width B and the height H of the container 1 are chosen so that the volume of the container 1 corresponds to that of a conventional container; however, the length L should be equal to or less than the maximum width of the platform of a truck, so that one or more of these containers can be loaded onto a truck from the side in the transverse direction.

In den unteren Bereichen der Stirnwände 4 und 5 sind die üblichen Hakenaufnahmen 12 vorgesehen, an denen bei an einem Hebezeug aufgehängtem Container Kipphaken angreifen können, um den Container zu entleeren.In the lower areas of the end walls 4 and 5, the usual hook receptacles 12 are provided, on which at one Hoist suspended container can attack the tipping hook to empty the container.
