Plate (10) for a metal cage (110) for a tank (130) containing a liquid, wherein said metal cage (110) comprises a base frame (120) on which a base of said tank (130) rests and a plurality of horizontal bars (111) and vertical bars (112), associated with each other and forming a grid, which contains said tank (130), said plate (10) being separably mounted with at least two bars (111, 112) of said plurality of horizontal (111) and vertical bars (112), characterised in that said plate (10) comprises a vertical wall (14) and at least two through openings (15) hollowed in said vertical wall (14), at least two C-shaped engagement elements (20), each C-shaped engagement element comprises a first portion (23) adapted to pass through a through opening (15) of said at least two through openings (15) and adapted to enclose at least a first portion (113) of a bar (111, 112) of said plurality of said bars (111, 112) and a second portion (24) adapted to enclose at least one end portion (11, 12) of said plate (10) and at least a second portion (114) of a bar (111, 112) of said plurality of said bars (111, 112).

A container for transporting and storing liquid, viscous or pourable substances, in particular a container of the Intermediate Bulk Container type, includes a base, a side wall and at least one outlet recess in the base and/or the side wall, in which an outlet valve is or can be arranged and which is closable on the outside of the container by a cover. The cover has a base section, by which the cover is fastened or fastenable to the container, and a closure section that is hinged on the base section via a hinge assembly such that it can pivot about a rotational axis. The hinge assembly is designed to hold or lock the closure section in a self-supporting manner in a position releasing the outlet recess.

Retractable handle assembly used in a valve of an Intermediate bulk container (IBC) includes a valve body, a valve core, and a valve stem. The valve stem is used to drive the valve core to move so as to open/close the valve. The handle of the handle assembly is connected to the valve stem and can be rotated around the central rotating axis of the valve stem. When the valve needs to be opened/closed, the handle is rotated around the central rotating axis to a deployed state to open/close the valve. The handle is rotated around the central rotating axis to a retracted state so as to reduce the space occupied by the valve for the valve to be welded to the liner bag or installed to IBC. The handle can be switched between a deployed state and a retracted state.

The present invention relates to a pallet container (10) for storing and for transporting in particular hazardous liquid or free-flowing filling materials, having a thin-walled rigid inner container (12) from a thermoplastic plastics material, having a tubular lattice frame (14) of horizontal and vertical tubular bars (18, 20) which are welded to one another, said tubular lattice frame (14) as a supporting jacket tightly enclosing the plastics-material inner container (12), and having a base pallet (16) on which the plastics-material inner container (12) bears and to which the tubular lattice frame (14) is fixedly connected, wherein the base pallet (16) is configured as a composite embodiment or as a frame pallet having corner feet (22) and central feet (24) from plastics material, steel, or timber, wherein for stacking pallet containers (10) of identical types on top of one another a clearance (32) in the corner feet (22) and the central feet (24) is provided on the base along the external edges of all four sidewalls of the base pallet (16), said clearance (32) being configured such that when stacking two pallet containers (10) on top of one another, the uppermost encircling horizontal tubular bar (18) of the tubular lattice frame (14) of a pallet container (10) stacked therebelow engages or nests in a mutually adapted and form-fitting manner in the clearance (32), wherein for a secure transportation of two filled pallet containers (10) stacked on top of one another by means of a forklift truck, a deeper clearance (32) is formed such that it is deeper, i.e. up to twice as deep (or high) in the vertical direction than in the horizontal or radial direction.
