Abstract
The invention relates to a container with multiple chambers or partial containers, which are connected along an axis that corresponds to a longitudinal axis or parallels to the longitudinal axis or along a spiral form at least in sections. A central element, which can be manufactured together with the partial containers, has proven itself for such a connection. Outside such connection, the partial containers are separated as far as possible by air gaps. The container according to the invention facilitates the simultaneous storage and transport of different substances, in particular liquids, whereby the substances are thermally insulated well from each other.
Claims20
Container for receiving and storing a plurality of different fluid and/or granular media;
- wherein the container comprises a body (10) and at least two partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312) each having its own walls;
- wherein a first partial container can receive a first medium and a second partial container can receive a second medium, and
- the container is designed in such a way that the first medium in the first partial container can be stored separately from the second medium in the second partial container;
- the partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312) being connected to one another by at least one connecting means (16;
- 116);
- the at least one connecting means (16;
- 116) being fixed to the walls of the partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312);
- the at least one connecting means (16;
- 116) separating the walls of the individual partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312) from each other;
- where the distance between the outer surfaces of the walls is not less than 0.2 mm;
- wherein at least one of the connecting means (16;
- 116) is a central element (16;
- 116) extending from the bottom of the body (10) to the neck (11) thereof and having the shape of a cylindrical tube which has a cavity inside and the outer wall of which is connected to the individual partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312);
- wherein a closure (20;
- 320) is provided that is mounted on the upper part of the body (10);
- and
- wherein several or all of the partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312) have their own opening, which, with the closure (20) mounted and closed, are sealed from the openings of the other partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312) and/or from the outside world;
- wherein the closure (20;
- 320) has at least one flap (32;
- 332) which, when the closure (20;
- 320) is mounted, is associated with one of the openings of the partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312) and uncovers said opening with respect to the outside world when the flap (32;
- 332) is open.
Container having a body (10) of height (H) and at least two self-contained partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312),
- wherein the partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312) are connected
- along the longitudinal axis (L) of the body (10) or
- along at least one other axis substantially parallel to this longitudinal axis (L) or
- along a spiral running about the longitudinal axis (L) or one of the other axes
- at least in sections with one another by means of a central element (16;
- 116),
- which extends at least in sections along the longitudinal axis (L) and/or at least one of the other axes, and,
- apart from such connection, are separated from each other by an air gap (18;
- 118;
- 318), where the air gap (18;
- 118;
- 318) along adjacent partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312) has a total length whose value corresponds to at least 50% of the height (H);
- and
- the central element (16;
- 116) extends from the bottom of the body (10) to the neck (11) thereof and having the shape of a cylindrical tube which has a cavity inside and the outer wall of which is connected to the individual partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312);
- wherein a closure (20;
- 320) is provided that is mounted on the upper part of the body (10);
- and
- wherein several or all of the partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312) have their own opening, which, with the closure (20) mounted and closed, are sealed from the openings of the other partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312) and/or from the outside world;
- wherein the closure (20;
- 320) has at least one flap (32;
- 332) which, when the closure (20;
- 320) is mounted, is associated with one of the openings of the partial containers (12;
- 112;
- 212;
- 312) and uncovers said opening with respect to the outside world when the flap (32;
- 332) is open.
