Container having vertical support elements adaptable to container pallet

Abstract

The present invention relates to a container for the transportation and stacking of bulk, powder, grained, liquid, fluid, or semi-fluid and similar materials of any kind, the container comprises plurality of vertically positioned columns in connection with the pallet, being easily connectable either to a standard pallet or to a pallet with holes opened thereon, and the container optionally not containing a rigid connection element such as a frame on its upper part.

1 . A container comprising a pallet for the transportation and stacking of any kind of bulk, grained, powder, liquid, fluid, semi-fluid and similar materials, a number of vertically-extending vertical columns connected to the pallet, and a big bag associated with the columns; said container being characterized by comprising at least one fastening element, having one side connected to a section where at least one of said vertical columns is present, and the other side connected to a proper section of said pallet. 
   
   
       2 . A container according to  claim 1 , characterized by further comprising stitches providing the fastening of said fastening element from one end to the outer surface of big bag, and from the other end to the outer surface of said big bag after being looped around the pallet's support block. 
   
   
       3 . A container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said pallet is a commercially available standard pallet. 
   
   
       4 . A container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said vertical columns are made preferably in a hollow tubular geometry from any materials such as plastic, cardboard of adequate rigidity. 
   
   
       5 . A container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said big bag contains an outer part and an inner part for connecting said vertical columns to the big bag, and in that pockets are provided between the stitches by means of which said outer part is stitched to the inner part for fixing the position of these vertical columns. 
   
   
       6 . A container comprising a pallet for the transportation and stacking of any kind of bulk, grained, powder, liquid, fluid, semi-fluid and similar materials, a varying number of vertical columns connected to this pallet on the vertical direction, and a big bag connected to said columns; said container being characterized in that the upper part of said vertical columns are left open by not providing any element combining the upper part of these columns and in that at least one of said vertical columns comprises at least one fixation bar to fix such, at least one vertical column to the pallet. 
   
   
       7 . A container according to  claim 6 , characterized in that said fixation bar that provides supporting force for avoiding the big bag from falling down from the pallet is positioned within the respective vertical column, and in that this vertical column is positioned essentially at the central part of the pallet edges. 
   
   
       8 . A container according to  claim 6 , characterized in that holes are opened on the pallet into which said fixation bars are introduced in order to have said fixation bars be directly fixed to the pallet. 
   
   
       9 . A container according to  claim 6 , characterized in that said fixation bars comprise a fastener and a pin in order to have said fixation bars be directly fixed to the pallet. 
   
   
       10 . A container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the fabric of big bag is relatively thinner to provide a convenient folding of the big bag. 
   
   
       11 . A container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that slots are formed on the pallet to connect to the pallet the vertical columns, which are not fixed to the pallet, but reacting to the stacking loads originating as the containers placed one on the other.
