Page 1 TARIFF DEMOUNTABLE SUPERSTRUCTURE SOLIDIFIABLE MATERIAL TRANSPORT AND BLOCKING. REMOVAL CONTAINER TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to concrete, mortar, cement grout, cement-based injection mortar (grout), and similar materials; can solidify as a result of hydration, binding reactions, chemical reactions, or cooling. Storage and transportation of fluid or semi-fluid materials and block formation of solidified material. The invention relates to reusable transport containers used for removing the contents from the container. In land and sea operations; liftable containers, skips, waste containers, molds or transport units. It can be implemented as follows. STATE OF THE ART Top-loading metal skis for transporting solidifiable materials, waste containers, concrete Buckets, molds, and crumb boxes are used. These products have fixed lids, hinged lids, The container may have a sliding lid, a bottom discharge hatch, or an open top structure. The material is inside the container. If it forms a solid block, the block can adhere to the body surfaces or the body It can be mechanically locked within its geometry. In containers with a fixed top or narrow opening. Removing the solidified block using methods such as impact, scraping, cutting, or vibration shortens the life of the container. and additional procedures that pose occupational safety risks may be required. In some of the known solutions, the lid can be opened, in others the body can be reversed, and In concrete technology, lifting anchors can be used that are placed separately within the casting. However, in solutions known to the applicant, carrying solidifiable material a main body that can be completely detached or, while remaining attached, removed over the top opening equipped with a superstructure and the solidified block passing through this opening, inverted or inside the container the elements of extraction via a positioned embedded load transfer element, as described No solution has been found where they are used together within a structural relationship. THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the invention is to create a container in which a solidifiable material is held during filling and transport, with a high-speed upper section. and a reusable carrying case that can be safely separated or removed to provide. Page 2 One purpose of the invention is to ensure that when the superstructure is detached, regardless of its form or operating mechanism, or by removing it, freeing the existing upper opening of the main body, thus solidifying the block. The goal is to enable it to be detached from the main body. Another purpose of the invention is to allow the superstructure to be attached manually, by rope / chain, by crane or lifting equipment, or Alternative transport methods that allow it to be detached with a forklift or removed while remaining attached. The goal is to provide interfaces. Another purpose of the invention is to remove the solidified block by inverting the main body or by solidifying it. lifted via an embedded load-transfer element previously placed in the material The goal is to ensure its removal. Another aim of the invention is to enable the solidified block to be lifted even after it has been removed from the container. The goal is to ensure it is portable and reusable. Another purpose of the invention is to provide lifting, securing and load transfer systems suitable for land and sea transport. The goal is to enable the components to be applied to the same housing.

Normal position, rotation and reverse position stages are shown in Figure 3(a). The situation where the top opening (13) is reversed and directed downwards is shown schematically. In the second block extraction application shown in Figure 3(b), the main material is removed before it solidifies. At least one embedded load transfer element (41) in the internal volume of the body and carrier frame (10) It is positioned. The embedded load transfer element (41) is used to fill the fluid material. Then, the still-wet material can be placed inside from above, or the main filling can be done beforehand. It can also be placed inside the body and carrier frame (10), for example on the base (11); in this case The fluid material is filled onto the embedded load transfer element (41). The anchor section of the element (43) remains inside the material and integrates with the solidified material block (40) to transfer the load. The accessible connection section (42) remains exposed on or near the top surface of the block. and with rope, chain, sling or shackle connection (44) or with hook, lifting beam, crane or forklift Page 6 It enables connection with the attachment. Solidified material block (40), removable superstructure (20) After being removed, it can be pulled upwards through the top opening (13) that is left free. Alternatively, the accessible connection section (42) will be located in an area adjacent to the base (11). It can be arranged in this way. In this application, after the removable superstructure (20) is removed, the main body and in the solidified material block (40) that is removed by inverting the carrier frame (10) The accessible connection section (42) is connected on the upward-facing surface of the block. remains and solidified block of material (40); e.g. ballast, counterweight, test weight or anchor as a block, it can be lifted, transported and reused independently of the captain. This allows (Figure 7). Embedded on the base (11) or in the main body and supporting frame (10). with a holder (35) that ensures the load transfer element (41) maintains its position during filling. a socket or a groove that prevents the accessible connection section (42) from being covered with fluid material A gap-forming or protective element (36) may be present. Accessible connection in this specification. Accessibility in section (42) refers to the section being able to connect with lifting equipment. It indicates that it is arranged in such a way as to allow access. Accessible connection section (42), door depending on its position and orientation inside, during the filling phase or of the solidified material block (40) It may be accessible after being removed from the main body and carrier frame (10). As shown in Figure 4, the embedded load transfer element (41) consists of metal rod, reinforcement, plate, and anchor. cage, ring, eye, socket, threaded sleeve, hook element, wire rope termination or any of these It can consist of a combination of anchor sections (43); flat, curved, expanded, plate, cage or It has a geometry that prevents peeling within the solidified material block (40) which is hooked. It is possible. The accessible connection section (42) is permanently transported together with the solidified material block (40). It can be a single piece, or it can be removed from the anchor section (43) and reused. It could also be a connecting piece. As shown in Figure 6, the demountable superstructure (20) has an embedded load transfer element (41) a connection section (42) that allows its placement or access to be left outside The passage opening (34) may include a slit, a removable panel or a detachable closing element (25).
