SOFT CONTAINER FOR TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE OF BULK CARGOES Russian patent published in 2025 - IPC B65D88/16 B65D88/22 B65D90/54 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of transportation, transshipment and storage of bulk and loose cargoes, bulk cargoes weighing not more than 15 tons, including food (grain) cargoes and some dangerous goods according to UN classification, such as lump sulphur, ammonium nitrate, coal-tar pitch, etc. Soft container for transportation and storage of bulk cargoes is made containing sleeve and bottom, made of base fabric and sheathed with belt load-bearing frame by non-detachable connection. Base fabric in its upper part forms an upper apron, and in its lower part it forms a lower apron. Vertical belts of the load-bearing frame, located in its upper part, form cargo lifting loops. Besides, it comprises bottom and sleeve attachment assembly made up of hinge lock between loops of vertical belts of said frame located at sleeve bottom and loops of radial bottom tapes, and locking assembly. Bottom and sleeve attachment assembly is provided with an integral part of the bottom and sleeve hinges connection. Unbreakable part is formed by small loops, each of which is sewn on outer side of loop base of each of two pairs of adjacent loops of sleeve and bottom. Multilayer tape ring is passed through the small loops. Locking assembly is located on the bottom and sleeve attachment assembly on the opposite side from the continuous part of the bottom and sleeve hinges connection. Locking assembly consists of two short adjacent bottom loops and one short sleeve loop. Metal ring is threaded into each of the short loops. On one side, the closing loop of the sleeve is made with possibility of passing through two rings of adjacent short loops of the bottom and its locking on the ring of the short loop of the sleeve with one metal pin. On the other side, the closing loops of the bottom and sleeves are made with possibility of their locking on the ring of the short loop of the sleeve with the second metal pin.

EFFECT: invention provides higher reliability, reduced repair and operating costs due to unloading of initial loop of hinge lock and prevention of its destruction, as well as improved operational characteristics due to unloading of such a container in two stages, alternately unloading the first half of the cargo and, if necessary, unloading the soft container completely.
