DE10333066A1 - Container, e.g. box or bucket to transport and store goods has fold-down corners to permit stacking of full containers without damaging contents - Google Patents

Abstract

The box or bucket-shaped container has inclined sides, a peripheral top edge, and fold-down corners (2). In basic position, the corners are located in the edge and thereby permit space-saving stacking of containers (1). The corners are turned around pivots (3), and are locked in basic position by bars (4). When folded into the container interior, the corners form a stable base for a further container to be stacked on top of it without causing damage to the goods it contains.

Description

object the registration is a container with foldable corners, for storing and transporting Goods is determined.

nowadays are different types of containers in operation but these are not at the same time simple and fast Way stackable, with or without merchandise. They are almost always different Types of interliners or other position of the container to each other necessary around the containers reliable and stably stacked on each other.

As known from the practice of business, is always logistically demanding to hold several different parts together so that the Parts spatially so find that stacking the containers easily and easily is possible.

e.g. container lie spatially removed from interlining and when charging everything quickly and reliable is going to go missing mostly different components and the consignment comes sometimes in delay.

Therefore everything together, containers and interlining, possible Having one part is appreciated by many companies.

Just this goal, namely easy, fast and reliable the full containers pile up and empty containers save space, follows this invention.

The container ( 1 ) with sloping walls, because of stacking, has several foldable corners ( 2 ), which are in basic position, have their place in a border. The corners ( 2 ) are on bolts ( 3 ) and in basic position with rods ( 4 ) arrested.

In this state you can empty the containers ( 1 ) of the same kind to save space stacked on each other to simply push them into each other.

Once such a container ( 1 ) is filled with goods and you want to stack it on top of each other, are folding corners ( 2 ), which are located in the frame, fold inwards.

These form by their deformation a stable surface for the placement of other containers ( 1 ) until the payload limit is reached (eg ten containers on top of each other as shown). Payload limit depends on container material and weight of the goods. Is the product from the containers ( 1 ) and the containers ( 1 ) are empty after turning the corners ( 2 ) stacked in the border again.

These execution causes a space-saving and undemanding storage of containers that always complete and can be used without further parts.

Space-saving promotion of empty containers is promotional for economic and therefore also environmentally friendly behavior of the transport companies.

Such container are mostly used as plastic parts in the high-pressure spraying process made like many similar ones Parts. This technique is very common in the production of Returnable boxes and similar Products.

Introduction of this container in practice comes through his practical service high acceptance even in simple economic conditions in some production countries.

Claims (1)

Container ( 1 ) for the storage and transport of goods of all kinds in a round shape (bucket) or edged form (box, box) with - sloping walls - a border - folding corners ( 2 ) characterized in that the corners ( 2 ) are in the basic position in a border and a space-saving Aufstapelung the container ( 1 ) enable. The corners are rotatable on bolts ( 3 ) and locked in basic position with rods ( 4 ). When folding over the corners ( 2 ) in the interior of the container ( 1 ) form the corners of a stable pad for stacking (Aufstapelung) another container ( 1 ), without those in the lower tank ( 1 ) to touch the goods.
