Abstract
The invention is directed to a pallet container assembly with a thin-walled rigid inner container of thermoplastic material for the storage and transport of liquid or flowable contents, including a cage-like bar frame closely surrounding as support jacket the inner plastic container, and a bottom pallet for placement of the inner plastic container and secure attachment of the support jacket, wherein there are provided, within the support area of the inner plastic container on the surface of the bottom pallet optionally on the surface of an intermediate plate, respective means (form-fitting means/frictional connection means) which—as viewed in the direction of the horizontal plane—result in a substantial increase of the slip resistance between the downwardly pointing outer surface of the bottom pallet or the intermediate plate.
Claims14
A pallet container assembly comprising:
- a bottom pallet providing at least one upper surface area
- a thin-walled rigid inner receptacle for storage and transport of liquid or free-flowing contents;
- and
- a cage-like bar frame closely surrounding the receptacle and securely connected with the bottom pallet,
- wherein the upper surface area provided at the bottom pallet and bounded by a support area of the inner plastic container is provided with means for increasing slip resistance between a downwardly pointing outer surface of the inner container bottom and an upwardly pointing corresponding surface at the bottom pallet., wherein the means for increasing the slip resistance are configured as form-fitting elements, said formfitting elements provided in the bottom wall of the inner plastic container and in the at least one upper surface area provided at the bottom pallet, are configured as downwardly pointing material projections and wherein the corresponding surface at the bottom pallet is provided with one of respective dimples or slits, that are pointing downwardly for interlocking engagement in positive manner and relative to the horizontal plane.
