■ jQ Stacked wagonload consisting of barrels

The invention relates to one consisting of numerous individual barrels, some of the same and some of different volumes stacked truckload.

In the case of special distribution services, it is customary to store the goods to be distributed or collected in barrels, which have to be stacked on a trolley during the distribution or collection process. as An example of these services is the distribution and collection of machine cleaning cloths, which Wipes at regular intervals or by arrangement with the user, for example a car repair shop, a machine factory or the like. in used, must be picked up in a soiled condition and replaced with fresh towels. The used towels are collected by the user in barrels, mostly plastic barrels, and the barrels are used by the lender, usually a laundry, picked up at the agreed time and with one or more barrels freshly washed towels exchanged.

Since the needs of the individual users for wipes are different, barrels are used for this exchange campaign different volumes are used, which can be

arranged or stacked in a loose order on the trolley Need to become.

It has proven itself and is widely used, for example barrels with a useful volume for these purposes of 110 liters and 220 liters.

The stacking of such transport barrels with different volumes next to one another and on top of one another, a car in as compact an arrangement as possible causes difficulties because of the different external dimensions of the barrels prohibit any arrangement, especially one on top of the other.

The consequence of this is that the car capacity is multiple is not optimally used, which is of course undesirable, on the other hand according to the prior art but could not be avoided.

2Q The invention is based on the object of a system indicate according to which a wagonload consisting of barrels of different volumes is compact and in any barrel arrangement can be packed or stacked.

To solve this problem, it is proposed that the height of all barrels be the same and the maximum linear plan dimensions of the larger barrels to those of the smaller barrels such as 1: 0.66.

With this barrel system it is easily possible to fully utilize the given car capacity, since the The specified external dimensions of the barrels make it possible on the one hand, for example on a given wagon floor plan, to accommodate two large barrels next to each other or instead three small barrels. Always

The same height of the barrels also allows the barrels to be stacked on top of each other, independently whether small barrels on large barrels, large barrels on small barrels or the same on the same barrels

c come to a standstill.

Further, it is possible with the given system of Faßabmessungen to stack the barrels on pallets, whereby the same alternately Anordnun _n gen be used by large and small barrels. Especially when bulk consumers have to be supplied with removable drums, it is often desirable or mandatory to place the required number of drums on one or more pallets.

p. gen, as there is often only one to change the barrels extremely limited time is available. In this case the delivery vehicle has to go to the appointed time Time to drive to the customer, there with a suitable device, for example a forklift, the pa-

_on lette or a larger number of pallets are taken from the trolley and the barrels with the used towels, which are also arranged on pallets, are placed in the vacated position. The barrels can be changed extremely quickly, after which

_OF - the trolley continues to the next customer, and barrels that are not arranged on pallets can also be unloaded or exchanged there without further ado.

Barrels with the specified size ratio are currently not available on the market. Usually The barrel systems offered have approximately the following dimensions:

It can be seen that the larger barrels with a capacity of 220 liters also have a greater height than the smaller ones Have barrels. A level stacking of the barrels in several rows one on top of the other is thus not possible.

Another disadvantage of the previously known barrel systems are the discharge openings of only 395 mm for the 120-liter and 470 mm for the 220 liter drum. These openings are smaller in relation to the diameter significant problems when unloading by automatic barrel tippers and similar devices. This is especially the case when the contents of the barrel, as in the example chosen, consist of parts that are difficult to pour, for example Cloths. Similar difficulties arise with other recycling products, such as for example metal chips, residue sludge and other things.

The barrel system according to the invention does not have these disadvantages, since the external dimensions are determined by the choice of the square format for the Euro-Pool pallet system fits, the 120 and 220 liter drums have the same height and the drums without constriction have one with the The barrel cross-section have the same discharge opening.

The invention is described below with reference to the attached Sewing drawings explained. They represent:

Fig. 1 is a side view of a trolley which is loaded with the specified barrel system;

Fig. 2 is a plan view of part of the truck load according to claim 1 in a schematic representation.

In Fig. 1, a trolley 1 is shown, its ig loading area 2 with barrels 3 in a compact arrangement loading is.

The barrels come in two sizes, one (4) 110 liters and the other (5) 220 liters grasps.

The height of all barrels is the same, so that the barrels can be stacked exactly on top of each other.

The linear plan dimensions of the larger barrels relate to those of the smaller barrels as 1: 0.66; it takes the diameter, for example of the smaller barrels is only 2/3 the diameter of the larger barrels. These relationships are over Fig. 2 can be seen.

From the specified sizes it follows that, for example on the width of a truckload two or four larger barrels 5 side by side or instead three or six smaller barrels 4 can be arranged side by side. The barrels can also be used without further ado - as can be seen from Fig. 1 - are stacked in two rows on top of each other, regardless of whether whether larger barrels on smaller, whether smaller barrels on larger or whether equally large barrels on top of each other come to a standstill.

It is also possible to arrange the barrels - depending on the size - in groups of four or nine on pallets 6, as for an arrangement of four of the larger barrels in the left half of FIG. 2 and for one Neuneranprdnung the smaller barrels in the right half of FIG. 2 is shown.

The pallets can and should be of standard size, with side dimensions 7 and 8 respectively, as is known each pallet is 1200 mm. As a rule, the loading area 2 of a normal transport vehicle takes up two pallets side by side.

When working with the given pallet system is thus loaded, for example, the cleaning cloth distributor or the laundry in the given order with barrels IQ of the transport vehicle 1 with the supplier. The order corresponds to the timetable according to which the driver will visit the individual customers.

At the customer's location, the number of barrels specified for this customer is now removed from the loading area, if necessary by means of a forklift, provided the barrels are arranged on pallets. To the one that has become free The barrels available at the customer's place, which are filled with used towels. The exchange goes extremely quickly and can be carried out regardless of the drums arranged one above the other. It can be seen that the wagon is always loaded in the same way and the barrels form a compact wagon load be strung together.
