Pallet-like support base for transport and storage containers for liquids

Abstract

A pallet-like support base for transport and storage containers for liquids includes an inner container of plastics material and an outer jacket of a metal grid or of sheet metal which is adapted to be manipulated by a forklift, a shelf operating system or a similar transport medium, and with a bottom of metal resting on support legs of metal, a middle runner and two outer runners for supporting the inner container which is equipped with a closable filler connection and a drain connection for connection to a drain fitting. The middle runner and the two outer runners of the support base are constructed as wooden runners.

1 . A pallet-like support base for transport and storage containers for liquids, the support base comprising 
 an inner container of plastics material    an outer jacket of a metal grating or of sheet metal, wherein the outer jacket is adapted to be manipulated by forklifts, shelf operating systems or similar transport systems, and    a bottom of sheet metal resting on support legs of metal, a middle runner and two outer runners for supporting the inner container, wherein the inner container is equipped with a closable filler connection and a drain connection for connection to a drain fitting,    wherein the middle runner and the two outer runners of the support base are wooden runners.    
   
   
       2 . The support base according to  claim 1 , wherein the middle runner and the outer runners of the support base are flat boards.  
   
   
       3 . The support base according to  claim 2 , comprising a connection of the wooden runners to the support legs by self-cutting sheet metal screws, wherein the sheet metal screws extend through bores in the wooden runners and are screwed into tulip-like recesses of the support legs.  
   
   
       4 . The support base according to  claim 2 , comprising a connection of the wooden runners of the support legs by rivets extending through bores in the wooden runners and in the support legs having the same size, wherein the heads of the rivets are bent toward a wooden runner and toward a support leg, respectively.  
   
   
       5 . The support base according to  claim 2 , comprising a connection of the wooden runners to the support legs by hollow rivets extending through bores in the wooden runners, wherein a first end of each hollow rivet is welded to a support leg and a second end of the hollow rivet is bent toward a wooden runner.  
   
   
       6 . The support base according to  claim 2 , comprising a connection of the wooden runners of the support legs by nails driven into the wooden runners, wherein tips of the nails which are in contact with the support legs are welded to the support legs.  
   
   
       7 . The support base according to  claim 1 , further comprising a middle support member for supporting the bottom on the middle runner.  
   
   
       8 . The support base according to  claim 7 , wherein the middle support member is screwed to the bottom and the middle runner.  
   
   
       9 . The support base according to  claim 7 , wherein the middle support member is of wood, plastics material or metal.
