Abstract

The folding box for transporting household articles, toys or laundry has a peripheral frame (4) and is spread by two rectangular braces (9, 9'). The free ends of these fit against the junction of the box walls (7, 7') and its floor.

Description

The application relates to a foldable flexible transport and storage containers, in particular for household items, toys, Laundry and the like, with four mutually perpendicular flexible side walls, one Ground and a cover, the container by a strut is stabilized.

Such a transport and storage container is from the DE 44 43 334 A1 known. In this container, a respectable in terms of manufacturing and handling complex removable frame for spreading of the container is provided. This frame consists of four supports and attached frames attached to it, which can be latched at different heights in the supports.

There is therefore the problem, a universal foldable flexible transport and storage container, esp. for household items, toys, linen and Like. To create, when not in use and for transport little Space needed, which can be set up quickly, is stackable and easy in the production is.

This problem is after a container the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the features the characterizing part achieved in that the container by at least one Frame is spread and two in particular rectangular wire bracket to two opposite sidewalls are mounted so pivotally that in the use position the Longitudinal side walls and the front walls an angle of about 90 ° with form the floor, are taut and their free thighs in the corresponding edge between the side wall and floor is fixed.

This training is on the one hand a clearly defined opening on the corresponding side of the container, suitably the Top, created and on the other hand allows a clamping mechanism, which consists of only two identical parts and integrated into the container is.

Further expedient refinements and advantages emerge from the dependent claims.

Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing.

Hereby show:

1 : A foldable flexible transport and storage container with closed cover in perspective view.

2 : The top view of the container with the lid open in the phase of folding into the transport position.

3 : A perspective view of an end wall with folded stabilization frame in position of use.

In 1 is a cuboid transport and storage container according to the invention 1 shown in the use position. The container is made of a flexible material such as linen fabric, is open at the top and with a cover 2 closable. He has, for example, a dimension of about 50 cm × 40 cm × 30 cm. The container 1 could of course also from another flexible material, such as a plastic film (eg nylon), esp. A laminated and / or embossed or textured plastic film or similar. consist. It is also possible to have an opening on a front or a longitudinal side wall of the container 1 to provide access to objects in the container 1 even with several stacked containers 1 is readily possible. For better handling is on the front side walls 7 . 7 ' a carrying handle 11 attached, eg sewn, glued or riveted. Likewise, a strap may be attached. Next can also be a pocket 12 for example, a name plate or the like. Be appropriate.

The cover 2 is how out 2 and 3 is recognizable, on one of the side walls 6 of the container 1 attached, for example, sewn or glued or integrally formed with a side or end wall. To close is a zipper 3 intended.

At the top of the container is a wire frame 4 mounted, for example, is attached by a folding of the edge and sewing and spreads the opening of the container. In the same way, of course, a wire frame 4 ' at the bottom of the container 1 be attached to the ground 5 spreads. It could of course be a solid base plate, for example, plywood or plastic inserted.

The container may for example be made of only two different rectangular material blanks; one piece of material of the same size for the cover 2 and the floor 5 and two equal pieces of material for a longitudinal side wall 6 the container to the one piece, the half end walls 7 connect. The zipper 3 is on the one hand at the edges of the cover 2 used (eg sewn or glued) and with the other half at (not shown) tabs of the side walls 6 and end walls 7 attached.

It would also be conceivable on the cover 3 to dispense, so that an open container is created.

It is also possible, e.g. to use four separate sidewalls, which are joined together at the edges by a decorative seam, cord or the like.

To create a stably deployable box is at the top of the front side walls 7 . 7 ' in a fold 8th each a rectangular or square wire hanger 9 . 9 ' in about the dimension of the respective end wall 7 . 7 ' pivotally mounted. By swinging up the wire hanger 9 . 9 ' until approximately parallel to the wire frame 4 at the top of the container 1 lie, the container can 1 be folded flat when it is not needed or transported empty. By simply swiveling the wire frame 9 . 9 ' until they are about parallel to the front walls 7 . 7 ' are and abut against these, a taut container can be formed with appropriate dimensioning. The free thigh 10 the wire hanger 9 . 9 ' can be clamped to the ground.

In 2 you can see how the container is 1 is folded up by the wire hanger 9 . 9 ' be folded up. You can use the wire frame 4 then press down, with the longitudinal side walls 6 . 6 ' and frontal walls 7 . 7 ' accordion-like foldable inwards.

In 3 is a container 1 with opened cover 2 shown in a partial view in position of use. The wire hanger 9 is hereby folded down so that he the front wall 7 of the container 1 and thus also the long side wall 6 taut. The free thigh 10 of the wire hanger 9 is trapped in the edge. But it is also possible to fix him eg with a (not shown) Velcro.
