Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0690010A1] A collapsible container of a kind used as an intermediate bulk container, particularly for carriage of hazardous materials. The container has a base (10) on which are placed sides (12) and a front gate (11) and a rear gate (not shown in Figure 1). The lid of the container sits flush between the top edges of the frameworks which constitute the sides and front and rear gates. A feature of the invention is that the front and rear gates are attached to the sides by means of U-shaped brackets (40) which are welded to the vertical members (41) of the side frames (12). A bolt (47) passes through aligned holes in the two ends of the U-shaped brackets and in the vertical side members of the gates and sides of the container. Further features include a strengthened base, upstanding lugs to support a second container stacked on the first, and modifications to prevent the nozzles for filling and emptying a plastic bag, to be placed in the container, from splitting from the bag when the container is mishandled. <MATH>
