DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a container for storing, transporting and dispensing liquid, especially water for drinking or watering, with a hollow body unit, with vehicle rollers present on the underside of the hollow body unit, with an inlet orifice, with an outlet orifice and with a handle for pulling the container by rolling.


PRIOR ART

Watering with normal watering cans having a volume of, for example, 10 or 15 1 (liters) requires relatively great effort and is very laborious. For people who are not very strong or are elderly, it is often a problem which it is scarcely possible to solve, especially when the water point is a long distance from the place of use. This problem is encountered frequently, for example in domestic gardens, allotments and cemeteries, but also in the agricultural or horticultural sector.
German Utility Model G 91 04 697.1 describes a watering can which is distinguished by the presence of traveling rollers which are arranged in that end region of the can lower body side located opposite the can spout, and in that the can spout is designed so as to be lengthened as an actuating lever. This measure improves the handling or transport of the watering can. There remains the problem, however, that the watering can has to be lifted for watering, so that, even here, increased effort is required during the watering operation itself. Furthermore, the can spout is made relatively long, so that it either has to be removed for watering or causes an obstruction during watering as a result of its length.


PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

The technical problem or object on which the present invention is based is to specify a container of the initially mentioned type which is improved in comparison with the prior art mentioned and which has a simple design, ensures easy transport and makes watering or water extraction easy and effective.
The container according to the invention is defined by the features of the independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
The container according to the invention for storing, transporting and dispensing liquid is accordingly distinguished in that a solar cell device is arranged on the outside of the container, a liquid pump device is present for pumping off or sucking in, as required, the liquid stored or to be stored inside the hollow body unit, and the solar cell device transmits its generated electric power at least partially to the liquid pump device.
A lightweight plastic container is preferably used for the container, care being taken to ensure particular ease of movement of the wheels. The liquid (water) can thereby be transported with little effort. At the same time, the carrying of the heavy liquid load both during the transport operation and during the watering operation is avoided and the body is protected due to the absence of one-sided loading.
An especially preferred embodiment of the container according to the invention is distinguished in that, in the inlet region, there is a flexible hose capable of being pulled out of the hollow body unit as far as a stop. This makes easy filling possible. The flexible hose is pulled out of the container and can easily be led to the water point or the faucet for filling. In a further embodiment, a removable sieve is mounted in the hose, so that floating matter is kept way.
The hollow body unit has a volume in the range of 0 to 40 1 (liters), especially approximately 35 1 (liters).
A particularly flexible embodiment of the container according to the invention is distinguished in that the container has a carrying grip and watering recesses arranged diametrically to the carrying grip, especially in the corner region of the handle, so that the container can be used as a watering can for watering.
The solar cell device used comprises solar cells of the commercially available type which supply the necessary sufficient current for the installed liquid pump device. The current is supplied directly to the pump via installed cables. The pump m
