CONTAINER WITH V-SHAPE TROUGHS

摘要

1. A dry bulk transport and storage unit for use in a transport container such as a sea container chassis, a railway car or a flatbed truck trailer, comprising: a continuous rectangular sheet of extruded, twin-walled, fluted plastic based upon a polypropylene copolymer scored along three (3) spaced, parallel lines, said sheet being configured along said three lines to produce first, second, third and fourth panels together having an M-shape in cross-section, with the first and fourth panels being parallel to and positioned against the opposing sidewalls of the transport container, and the second and third panels forming a V-shaped configuration whose apex is in close proximity to the floor of said transport vessel. 2. The unit according to Claim 1, including in addition thereto, at least one support member resting on the floor of said transport container, for each of said second and third panels, and upon which said second and third panels, reside, respectively, when said V-shaped configuration of said second and third panels is filled, at least partially, with the dry bulk material being transported or stored. 3. The unit according to Claim 2, including in addition thereto, a polyethylene lining encompassing said configured plastic panels, said support members, and said dry bulk materials being transported or stored. 4. A dry bulk transport and storage unit for use in a transport container such as a sea container chassis, a railway car or a flatbed truck trailer, comprising: a continuous rectangular panel of extruded, twin-walled, fluted plastic based upon a polypropylene copolymer scored along seven (7) spaced, parallel lines, said sheet being configured along said seven lines to produce first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth panels with the first and eighth panels being parallel to and positional against the opposing sidewalls of the transport container, and the second and third panels forming a V-shaped configuration whose apex is in close proximity to the floor of said transport vessel, and the fourth and fifth panels forming a V-shaped configurations whose apex is in close proximity to the floor of said transport vessel, and the sixth and seventh panels forming a V-shaped configuration whose apex is in close proximity to the floor of said transport vessel. 5. A dry bulk transport and storage unit for use in a transport container such as a sea container chassis, a railway car or a flatbed truck trailer, comprising: a continuous rectangular sheet of extruded, twin-walled, fluted plastic based upon a polypropylene copolymer scored along N spaced, parallel lines, said sheet being configured along said N lines to produce N + 1 panels, with the first and last panels being parallel to and positioned against the opposing sidewalls of the transport container, and the remaining panels forming-V-shaped configurations, each of whose apex is in close proximity to the floor of said transport vessel, when N is any number of three (3) or greater.
