Drum, particularly suitable for dispatching chemicals or waste

摘要

A drum for storing and transporting liquids is disclosed, which has a pallet part and a container part. The container part bounds an enclosed volume and has an inlet and an outlet and a reservoir part which extends therefrom. The outlet is arranged on the reservoir part. The pallet part receives the container part and the reservoir part and has means for the secure fastening of the container part in the pallet part. Furthermore, the pallet part has means for receiving a part of a lifting device for lifting the drum and means which allow access to the outlet in the reservoir part through the pallet part. The pallet part has a hollow space of predetermined dimensions, whereas the container part has predetermined dimensions which correspond to those of the hollow space, so that the container part can be inserted in the pallet part and brought into engagement therewith, preferably in the manner of a snap-in closure. The container part furthermore has a recessed top part with a closure with a venting valve. The drum preferably also has means which engage in one another so that the drums can be stacked one above the other without having to fear any movement between them which could cause them to tip over.
