Benefits of technology

The invention is a transport container made up of two elements: a self-supporting outer shell and a tightly fitting inner liner that prevents contact between the two. The inner liner is made of plastic and has openings, making it lightweight but stable. The second element is a deep-drawn part that is simpler and cheaper than injection-molded parts, and can be adapted to different goods being transported. The first element is produced in large quantities for multiple use, while the second element has a shorter lifespan but has a more favorable energy balance and lower raw material and energy expenditure. The total energy balance of the transport container is advantageous for both its production and operation.

Problems solved by technology

However, this transport container is not suitable for transporting technical components or sensitive technical semi-finished products.

Embodiment Construction

[0026]The Figure shows the three elements of a transport container. These three elements are the first element 10, the second element 30 and the lid 50. The first element 10 is a plastic injection-molded part with four side walls 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d and a bottom 14. The side walls 12a to 12d and the bottom 14 enclose an inside space l1 which typically encloses a volume between 20 and 100 liters. The side walls 12a to 12d as well as the bottom 14 are configured in the manner of a lattice or grid, with ribs 16 and openings 18 in-between. The wall strength of the ribs typically ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 mm. To increase the stability, some of the ribs, in particular the ribs for the side walls 12a to 12d, can have a U-shaped cross section. The side walls 12a to 12d end in a circumferential top edge 20 which, as will be obvious later on, comprises a horizontal section and a downward pointing section.

[0027]The second element 30 is a deep drawn plastic part which also comprises four side walls...

Abstract

The invention relates to a transport container having a low weight. The transport container comprises a self-supporting first element (10), which is designed as an injection-molded plastic part and which has an inside (10b) and an outside (10a) and which encloses a first interior space (I1), and a second element (30), which lies against the first element (10) at least in some sections and which encloses a second interior space (l2). The second element (30) is arranged on the inside of the first element (10) so that the second interior space (l2) lies completely within the first interior space (I1).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a transport container as is disclosed in the preamble to claim 1.[0002]In modern economic systems, the transporting of goods and especially of semi-finished products plays a central role. In particular if the goods to be transported are relatively light-weight but sensitive components, the problem frequently arises that comparatively few components to be transported must be packed into in a transport container. As a result, the weight of the transport container, meaning the tare weight, accounts for a considerable share of the total weight of the load to be transported. An increase in the transport weight leads to an increase in the energy consumption during the transport which is undesirable for reasons of economy and ecology. A high tare weight, in particular, worsens the total energy balance for each component to be transported.PRIOR ART[0003]Transport containers used so far, especially for transporting sensitive goods, a...
