Segmented monoblock container with wheels

Abstract

The present application describes a monoblock container, with wheels, consisting of two compartments intended, for example, for product storage and transportation. The monoblock container is formed in one piece, which is divided in two compartments of distinct dimensions, favouring the segmentation of products to be stored/transported among said compartments.

Claims

1. A segmented monoblock container with wheels comprising a main body made from a single piece of material, which is segmented in two compartments with distinct volumes, a first compartment being of relatively larger volume than that of a second compartment, wherein the first compartment is adjoined with the second compartment, wherein each compartment is defined by a bottom surface and four lateral walls, wherein the first compartment comprises a first fixed wheel and a second fixed wheel placed at a back part of the bottom surface and a first pivoting wheel and a second pivoting wheel are placed at a front part of the bottom surface, wherein the first fixed wheel and the first pivoting wheel is the same as a distance between the second fixed wheel and the second pivoting wheel on the bottom surface of the first compartment, and wherein one of the four lateral walls of the first compartment is longer than the remaining lateral walls, having a handle arranged at its upper end, opposite to an end contacting the bottom surface of said compartment, to maneuver the container.

2. The segmented monoblock container according to claim 1, wherein the container's material is of the thermoplastic type.

3. The segmented monoblock container according to claim 2, wherein the container's material is polypropylene.

4. The segmented monoblock container according to claim 1, wherein the first compartment has a volume of 50 L capacity and the second compartment has a volume of 5 L capacity.

Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

(1) For an easier understanding of the present application figures are appended, which depict preferred implementations that, however, are not meant to limit the art disclosed herein.

(2) FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic representation of a particular embodiment front view of the monoblock container, wherein the reference signs mean: 3—fixed back wheels; 4—pivoting front wheels; 5—monoblock container.

(3) FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic representation of an upper view of the developed monoblock container (5), wherein the reference signs mean: 1—represents compartment one; 2—represents compartment two;

(4) FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic representation of the two compartments view of a particular embodiment of the developed monoblock container, wherein the reference signs mean: 1—represents the compartment with capacity for 50 L; 2—represents the compartment with capacity for 5 L.

(5) FIG. 4 illustrates a schematic representation of the developed monoblock container bottom view, wherein the reference signs mean: 3—fixed back wheels; 4—pivoting front wheels.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

(6) Referring to the figures, some embodiments will now be described in a more detailed way, which are not meant, however, to limit the scope of the present application.

(7) In an embodiment of the developed double monoblock container (5) with wheels, said container comprises two joined compartments (1 and 2), resultant from the main body division in two, having different dimensions, and including in total two bottoms and eight walls. A first compartment (1) has a capacity for up to 50 L, whereas the second compartment (2) has a capacity for up to 5 L. Furthermore, the developed container (5) has four wheels allowing its displacement on flat surfaces and or with a slight inclination. At the lower part of the recipient (5) the back wheels (3) are fixed, enabling driving the same with inclination. The front wheels (4) are pivotal favouring driving the container (5) in the vertical position using, in this way, the 4 wheels and ensuring its stability.

(8) As illustrated in FIGS. 1-3, a practical scenario of the developed double monoblock container (5) application is in commercial retail areas.

(9) The present description is not, naturally, in any way restricted to the embodiments presented herein and a person with average knowledge in the field may foresee many possibilities for modification thereof without departing from the main idea, as per defined in the claims. The preferred embodiments above described are obviously combinable with each other. The following claims further define preferred embodiments.
