  • Patent number: 11667436
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a closed-head drum (10) with inserted thin-walled inliner (22) of multilayer plastic film for storing and transporting liquid or free-flowing filling materials. In order to improve the use of liners in closed-head drums, and to facilitate in particular the handling for the users such as the filling and emptying operators, so as to allow the closed-head drum (10) with liner (22) to be handled in precisely the same way as a closed-head drum without a liner, the present invention provides for the liner surface to adhere, or be adhesively bonded in a detachable manner, to the inner wall of the drum by virtue of a vacuum being created in the intermediate air space between the inner wall of the drum and liner surface and by thermal activation by means of hot air injection into the interior of the inliner.

  • Patent number: 11608220
    Abstract: Flexible inliner having an upper filling connector and a lower retrieving connector the flexible liner for a pallet container (10) for storing and for transporting liquid and free-flowing filling goods. Each of the filling connector and the retrieving connector is welded to an inliner wall such that film cutting edges are covered in relation to contact with the filling goods, and no film cutting edge, neither the film cutting edge on a welded flange rim of the welded filling connector or the retrieving connector nor the film cutting edge on the internal-side delimitation of a retrieving opening in the inliner wall, comes into contact with the filled liquid filling goods.

  • Patent number: 9931175
    Abstract: A container includes a base, and a jacket adjoining the base and having a peripheral flange which defines an opening cross section which can be closed by a cover. The cover includes first snap-fit hooks distributed about a periphery of the cover for engagement in complementing first latching openings in the peripheral flange to thereby establish a form fit that prevents a movement away from the base and parallel to a vertical axis of the container in perpendicular relation to the base. The peripheral flange has four corner regions, each provided with a second latching opening for engagement of a second snap-fit hook of the cover. The second latching opening has at least one portion configured curved or inclined in relation to both a transverse axis and a longitudinal axis of the container, or has at least two straight portions extending at an inclination in relation to one another.
