DE202005008115U1 - Inlay plug-in system for plastic boxes has cross dividers and longitudinal dividers which are not directly fitted into wall of plastic box but into laterally extending cross divider wall and longitudinal divider wall - Google Patents

Abstract

The inlay plug-in system for plastic boxes consists of accurately fitting cross partitions comprising a cross divider outer wall (1), a longitudinal divider outer wall (2), cross dividers (3), and longitudinal dividers (4), which are not directly fitted into the wall of the plastic box but into the respectively laterally extending cross divider wall and longitudinal divider wall. The inlay system is formed and fitted so that it fits accurately into the conically formed inner walls of the plastic box and as a conical seat is connected to the plastic box with positive locking.

Description

A) Problem / Task

The available on the market Stacking boxes are injection molded using very expensive molds prepared. For these stacking boxes often become partitions needed (Separation compartments or compartments). For this purpose, different manufacturers offer different Systems to the following accomplished are:

1. insert elements

Insertion elements, in the injection molding or Deep drawing process also be made with a mold.

Disadvantage:

• - higher Price due to high mold costs for the injection molds
• - no flexible system, but only certain compartments in certain sizes possible
• - higher Volume loss in the plastic box
• - Not tiltable, since the inserts are not fixed (would fall out)

2. Partition walls / separating inserts Plastic or cardboard

Partitions, the inserted into the plastic box through incorporated grooves or noses become. or even no firm connection with the plastic box to have.

Disadvantage:

• - very high costs for the change the injection molding for the Plastic box (about 80 000 EUR), as the attachment of the grooves or Noses a high technical effort brings with it.
• - no flexible system (no change on individual requirements possible)
• - the in the plastic box introduced protruding noses damage under Circumstances the Goods in the boxes (especially if the boxes are prepared for dividers, but without dividers to be used)
• - The partitions do not have a positive connection with the boxes, if not the corresponding noses or slots be incorporated into the plastic boxes

B) Innovation through our Inlay plug-in system (IS) for plastic boxes

The Inlay plug-in system (hereafter referred to as IS) is our development, to circumvent the disadvantages of the products available on the market and additional Achieve benefits that are of high economic value.

1st construction:

Our IS consists of accurately fitting partitions, which are not inserted directly into the wall of the plastic box, but in a laterally extending outer wall, which is manufactured by us and is inserted into the box. ( 1 )

This spares any costly changes the injection mold The plastic boxes and dividers hold by a positive connection (Turning / tilting the box is possible).

explanation

The interior walls Each box are for better demolding from the injection mold with a slant of a few degrees (usually 2 to 5 degrees) provided.

The IS is shaped and fitted so that it fits exactly into the conical inner walls of the plastic box and is firmly connected to the box like a conical seat. ( 2 )

The IS sits so tightly in a positive connection that it does even upside down can be made without the dividing inserts fall out.

All Parts of the IS can Without tools by a tongue and groove system are plugged together.

The IS is also a flexible solution by which any division of the plastic box is possible. Because the parts of the IS milled or can be punched, are changes possible with minimum effort. It can any variants are made which allow any division and even for storage of parts e.g. with certain required storage points as a special solution needed become. (e.g., bearing points for stress-free bearing of camshafts, Crankshafts) (see sketch 3)

The Wall thickness and material type from which the IS is made can meet the requirements and claims, which are provided by the goods stored therein, adjusted become. (Plastic antistatic, oil resistant etc.).

Advantages:

• - height flexibility because of every shape, size and type of Stackable boxes customizable
• - By simple removal of partitions is also a convertible division z. B. from 8 to 2 Fä possible without compromising the stability of the separating inserts.
• - none expensive change at the stacking boxes or their injection molds required
• - height Cost savings (low cost of manufacture, low cost for change and adaptation)
• - self-retaining conical shape, holding dividers by itself in the stacking box (no falling out even when Tilting the box possible)
• - any Sizes and Number of dividers and Special forms possible
• - lower Space required for production, delivery and storage (flat folding possible)
