Abstract

Abstract The present invention provides a transport container for very pure liquid chemicals having an inner container or flask made of synthetic resin with an upper sealing flange, the inner container being in an outer container, which has a protective collar, provided with openings, surrounding the sealing flange at a distance. The inner container 1 is made of two skins, the inner skin being made of an inert fluoro-synthetic resin and the outer sheet 10 being made of glass-fiber-reinforced synthetic resin completely enclosing the inner skin. The outer skin 10 is in one piece with a cylindrical mantle 11, the upper section of which forms the protective collar 14.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 99 words
A transport container for very pure liquid chemicals having an inner container consisting of synthetic resin with an upper sealing flange, the inner container being in an outer container, which has a protective collar, provided with openings, surrounding the sealing flange at a distance, wherein the inner container is made of two skins, the inner skin being made of an inert fluoro-synthetic resin and the outer skin being made of glass-fiber-reinforced synthetic resin completely enclosing the inner skin, the outer skin being made in one piece with a cylindrical mantle, the upper section of which forms the protective collar.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 99 words
A transport container for very pure liquid chemicals having an inner container consisting of synthetic resin with an upper sealing flange, the inner container being in an outer container, which has a protective collar, provided with openings, surrounding the sealing flange at a distance, wherein the inner container is made of two skins, the inner skin being made of an inert fluoro-synthetic resin and the outer skin being made of glass-fiber-reinforced synthetic resin completely enclosing the inner skin, the outer skin being made in one piece with a cylindrical mantle, the upper section of which forms the protective collar.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 35 words
The transport container according to claim 1, wherein the upper side of the container slopes down on all sides from the sealing flange to several flow-off openings on the lower edge of the protective collar.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 29 words
The transport container according to claim 1, wherein at least two openings of the protective collar, made as grip openings, lie in the lower region of the protective collar.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 186 words
A transport container for pure liquids, the container comprising: a flask having a liner for contact with the liquid, the liner being made of an inert fluoro-synthetic resin and being laminated with a glass-fiber-reinforced synthetic resin to provide mechanical strength, the flask having an opening therein surrounded by a flange; a cover bolted to the flange, the cover having first and second connections therethrough, the first connection communicating with the interior of the flask with an immersion tube extending therefrom to the bottom of the flask and the second connection communicating with the interior of the flask above the level of liquid in the flask so that gas pressure introduced through the second connection forces the liquid through the immersion tube and out of the flask, and a cylindrical mantle, integral with the flask and having a first portion extending above the flask and the connections thereto and a second portion extending below the flask, the first portion forming a collar having an open top, the collar having openings therethrough whereby clean-room air impinging on the container from above flows over the top of the container.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 186 words
A transport container for pure liquids, the container comprising: a flask having a liner for contact with the liquid, the liner being made of an inert fluoro-synthetic resin and being laminated with a glass-fiber-reinforced synthetic resin to provide mechanical strength, the flask having an opening therein surrounded by a flange; a cover bolted to the flange, the cover having first and second connections therethrough, the first connection communicating with the interior of the flask with an immersion tube extending therefrom to the bottom of the flask and the second connection communicating with the interior of the flask above the level of liquid in the flask so that gas pressure introduced through the second connection forces the liquid through the immersion tube and out of the flask, and a cylindrical mantle, integral with the flask and having a first portion extending above the flask and the connections thereto and a second portion extending below the flask, the first portion forming a collar having an open top, the collar having openings therethrough whereby clean-room air impinging on the container from above flows over the top of the container.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 40 words
The container of claim 5 wherein the flask has a convex top surface when viewed from the first portion of the mantle and wherein there are openings through the first portion of the mantle where the mantle joins the flask.
