ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a transporting device for transporting a voluminous container according to the preamble of claim
1
.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Such a transporting device is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,161,263. These transporting devices consist essentially of a system or storing and handling collapsible rubberised containers used in the transporting of fluent materials within bulk material transporting trailers. This known container is used as lining in a shipping container. The maximum volume of this known container is limited, because restricted to the volume of the shipping container.
This known handling system does not provide a solution to the problem of the transport of the voluminous container, with a volume exceeding the volume of a shipping container.
Further it is described in FR-A-1,231,391 that the transport of a voluminous container for fluids is done empty and preceeded with complicated and labour-intensive folding operations, in particular containers having dimensions, in particular a width exceeding the dimension allowed on the public road, in general 2.60 meters.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention dispenses with these problems and provides for this purpose a transporting device having the features of claim
1
.
Such a transporting device enables the transport of a voluminous, substantially empty container in simple and rapid manner.
The permitted width dimension of a container for transporting which is rolled up on the rolling-up member of the sub-frame increases considerably by turning the sub-frame round the main frame.
Turning means, for example turning tables as such are known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,634,056 in a compost spreader. As for a lot of agricultural vehicles turning means are known to provide a larger width on the farmed land than on main road.
The invention likewise relates to a container which is transported with a transporting device according to the invention and consists substantially of a flexible material, which container is manufactured substantially from a material which can be rolled up and is adapted for the storage of material which can be pumped, wherein the container is provided with rolling-up means for coupling to the rolling-up device.
A container according to the invention is preferably provided with safety provisions for pressure, stabilization and/or level control.
A preferred embodiment of the container is particularly suitable for storing animal manure and preferably provided with sampling means and homogenizing means.
The invention is further elucidated with reference to the description following hereinbelow of the drawing.
