Lubricant Collection Container

Abstract

The invention pertains to a lubricant collection container with a dimensionally stable enclosure and a collection bag accommodated therein, wherein the collection bag is fixed in the dimensionally stable enclosure by means of a holding device and is stabilized during movement of the lubricant collection container such that the collection bag cannot move freely during movement of the lubricant collection container. The holding device comprises a folding insert with a base plate and a membrane that at least partially covers the base plate, wherein the collection bag is essentially arranged between the base plate and the membrane and the membrane preferably covers the collection bag completely in the folded state of the folding insert in order to fix and stabilize the collection bag in a simple fashion.

         5 . The lubricant collection container according to  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the membrane can be expanded by up to 400%. 
     
     
         6 . The lubricant collection container according to  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the dimensionally stable enclosure and/or the base plate of the folding insert comprises cardboard, paperboard, or corrugated board. 
     
     
         7 . The lubricant collection container according to  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the collection bag consists of a plastic bag. 
     
     
         8 . The lubricant collection container according to  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the collection bag is fixed on the base plate of the folding insert and/or on the dimensionally stable enclosure in the area of a filler opening of the collection bag such that it can be detached repeatedly. 
     
     
         9 . A lubricant collection device comprising at least one collection element that can be arranged at a lubricating point and that serves for collecting lubricant leaking from the lubricating point, wherein the collection element preferably is fluidically connected to at least one lubricant collection container according to  claim 1  via at least one collecting pipe. 
     
     
         10 . The lubricant collection device according to  claim 9 , characterized by the fact that the lubricant collection container is connected to the collecting pipe such that it can be detached repeatedly. 
     
     
         11 . A folding insert for a lubricant collection container comprising a dimensionally stable enclosure and a collection bag, wherein the folding insert comprises a base plate and a membrane that at least partially covers the base plate, wherein the collection bag can essentially be arranged between the base plate and the membrane, and wherein the collection bag can be covered by the membrane. 
     
     
         12 . The folding insert according to  claim 11 , characterized by the fact that the base plate comprises at least one predetermined folding point extending essentially parallel to an outer edge of the base plate. 
     
     
         13 . The folding insert according to  claim 11  or  12 , characterized by the fact that the folding insert can be folded in such a way that it forms at least two wall-like segments that adjoin at least two, adjacent walls of the dimensionally stable enclosure. 
     
     
         14 . The folding insert according to  claim 11 , characterized by the fact that the base plate comprises a recess for the arrangement of a filler opening of the collection bag and/or that the base plate comprises cardboard, paperboard or corrugated board. 
     
     
         15 . The folding insert according to  claim 11 , characterized by the fact that the membrane can be expanded by up to 400%. 
     
     
         16 . The lubricant collection container according to  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the base plate comprises at least four predetermined folding points extending essentially parallel to an outer edge of the base plate.
