Description

Collapsible Containn (For this enrollment, the priority of January 26, 1967 from the Swiss patent application No. 1181/67.) The invention relates to a collapsible container with a basic pallet and four side walls with side supports and an attachable ceiling. In particular the invention relates to a Rlein transport container in Leichteauweise and a @@ system of small transport containers standardized in size and design, which are used in particular as inner containers for large containers, but also as individual containers should be used for piece goods.

So far, large containers with the goods have usually been optimally adapted Loads of various types of packaging, which leads to major stowage losses (empirical values up to 50% congestion losses).

Side supports on collapsible containers are generally used as reinforcement strips executed on the side edges of the side walls. For assembly are two specially profiled and laterally attachable frames with a U-shaped profile Profile known. Such a container according to the patent specification 1,059,341 has through this frame additional components and does not allow for a close-knit grouping Space for return transport.

In another transport container according to US Pat. No. 2,710,703 the side walls that meet at the corners are designed differently. Farther there is also no requirement for this container in the collapsed state to hold together without additional funds.

The invention is based on the following: 1. The interior of the large container to make optimum use of it, 2. to accelerate and facilitate their loading and unloading, 3. to make a measurement superfluous due to the standardized sizes, 4. the to replace conventional packaging of the piece goods, 5. the cost of the Reduce packaging.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the oden range is provided with column-like socket pins at the corners, which for fixing the side walls in the upright position and for fastening the lid when folded and under the stacked side walls in the interior space between the bottom pallet and the lid Absorption of the load are provided.

This makes ene from standardized and interchangeable individual parts existing execution, which is expedient in standardized, in practice Large co @ tainers used are manufactured to matched dimensions. Thereby skills several of these containers filled or empty and put together through one another The corner supports or stud bolts can be stacked to absorb the load.

The loaded container is held together with a steel belt. The container can be put empty without further @@ rei @ ung @@ - sa @@@ and at a minimum @@@ to graze gestapalt.

The side walls are each advantageous @@ a side edge with a Provided corner support, which can be placed on a plug. There is a The essential @ er @@ times is that on the other side of the page @ walls there is a Malteprofile is arranged.

Advantageously, the supports have a profile at one end, especially from @@@ nu @@, @um @upon the socket pin and one at the other end Fährgapfen, whereby Dirchbrbruch at the corners of the lid @chlweise on the guide peg when the container is assembled or on the bolts when the container is folded can be pulled up.

According to an essential design, the corner supports are at on the side facing away from the attached side wall il a guide channel, into which the l, old profile of the adjacent side wall e can be inserted through the Invention, a small container is created, the dimensions of which allow maximum use of the interior of the common large containers. In particular, it is essential that this if necessary without further mechanical enclosure in a collapsed State after placing the side walls in the interior between the floor pallet and Lid can be transported stackable.

The invention is illustrated below with the aid of some exemplary embodiments explained, which are shown in the drawings. In these show: Fig. 1: a perspective view of an embodiment with broken parts, FIG. 2 : a perspective view of a further embodiment with broken parts, Fig. 3 3: Parts of a container according to lilio 1 in the disassembled state for Explanation of the assembly, in perspective view, Fig. 4: a plan view of a corner support with adjacent or attached side walls, FIG. 5: a perspective view of the container according to FIG. 1 in a collapsed state State, with broken parts, Fig. 6: a stack of several containers 1 and 2, in perspective view, FIG. 7: a stack of collapsed Container according to Fig. 1, in perspective view, Fig. 8: a stack of collapsed Container according to Fig. 2, in connection with a collapsed container according to Fig. 1, in perspective view.

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the the smaller one, the dimensions of which are adapted to the large containers in use today Small container. This type is referred to in or sequence as Type I, The Floor Pallet 1 is na matures with a frame 11 and contains a corner support 7 in each corner, which is riveted with a side wall 5 each. Each side wall also contains two Bracing 10 on the outside. These two pursuits are Again riveted to each other and to the side wall0 Against the floor pallet 1, the side walls are pressed against the frame 11 from the inside. The side walls are can be pushed in individually. After loading and inserting the last side wall, the Cover 3 put on. It contains an adjoining breakthrough in each of the corners the guide pins 14 of the side supports.

The Ranmen 11 is at least open to seal against spray water the inside covered with a sealing layer (e.g. rubber layer), a rubber seal (not shown here) can also be used for the guide pin be brought in.

Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the larger, the dimensions of the large containers in use today Small container. This type is referred to as Type II in the following.

This container contains the analogous elements as described above. The side wall 6 of double size is of this type with a central support 8 provided with two guide pins. This central support is used to take the weight a possibly stacked container. This center support B, like the two Vertical struts 9 are with the side wall and with each other with the cross strut 12 riveted. The floor pallet 2 is in turn strapped with a frame 13. The lid 4 with inserted frame 16 is for better visualization of the Center support 8 shown cut open, as well as the end wall 5, which in the assembled state, like all other walls, is also enclosed by the frame 13, which prevents an outbreak to the outside.

Fig, 3 shows the assembly of the empty small container using the example of Type I. The floor pallet 1 is placed on the floor, and the side walls 5 5 with One corner support 7 each is placed on the socket pin 17. The side wall is inside of the frame 11, which is covered with a sealing layer 20 on its inside is lowered. When inserting the second and all subsequent side walls at the same time when @ lowering the other side @nlteprofil 19 in the leadership of the Sckstitze introduced. The vertimal strobe @ points to gain and to gain the tensile stress of the steel strapping a profile with a wave-shaped cross-section on. The small container can be fitted with two, three or four side walls be bel @ den. After loading, the remaining side walls are inserted and the Cover 3 placed over it, through the openings in the corners of the guide pin 14 of the corner supports can be carried out.
