Abstract

Container for receiving ferromagnetic small parts with a pivotable or displaceable on the container (10) arranged closure element, wherein the closure element can be pivoted or moved so that the container (10) is opened thereby, wherein the container (10) or the closure element at least one magnet (18) which is arranged so that it can at least partially prevent falling out of the small parts when the container is open, wherein the container and the closure element itself are formed of a non-ferromagnetic and non-magnetic material.

Description

The The invention relates to a container for holding ferromagnetic small parts with a swiveling or slidable on the container arranged closure element. The term "ferromagnetic" in the sense The present invention includes small parts, consisting of a ferromagnetic material are made, a ferromagnetic portion or provided with a ferromagnetic component are. The small parts may be, for example, screws, Nuts, paper clips or inserts for tools, like Bits or drills, act.

Such Small parts become common in a container, for example made of cardboard a lid to open and closing of the container kept. Careless opening of the lid can lead to Falling out of the small parts come. If the container so is measured that the last small parts contained in the container can not be removed by grasping, they must be removed for removal Shake or Tilting the container in the area of the opening to be brought. This can also cause the parts to fall out. The well-known container is therefore in terms of its handling, especially for fast Remove the small parts or remove the last contained in the container Small parts, disadvantageous.

task The present invention is an improved in handling container specify.

These The object is solved by the features of claim 1. Appropriate embodiments are Subject of the dependent claims.

To proviso The invention is a container for Take ferromagnetic small parts with a swivel or slidable on the container arranged closure element provided, wherein the closure element can be pivoted or moved so that the container thereby open becomes. The container or the closure element has at least one magnet, which is arranged so that it falls out of the small parts when open container can at least partially prevent. Here are the container and the closure element itself from a non-ferromagnetic and not formed magnetic material.

At the inventive container are the ferromagnetic small parts at least partially provided by Magnet attracted and held in position. This will the removal of the small parts, in particular the last remaining in the container Small parts, relieved, because these small parts by shaking or Tilting the container in the area through the open Closure element formed opening can be brought. There They are then held by the magnet and can be easily removed. Particularly in the craft sector, the container according to the invention is of great advantage, because in manual work often only a free hand to disposal stands to the ferromagnetic small parts, such as screws, from the container refer to. At the one-handed Handling is particularly common in the previously known containers an accidental fall in it contained small parts.

Farther is the container according to the invention in Trade particularly advantageous if there ferromagnetic small parts piecemeal be sold because the removal of individual pieces of hardware especially is relieved. The desired quantity can then simply removed from the magnet and the container again be closed. So far it is usual the container for piecewise Withdrawal partly to empty, the desired number of small parts count and pour the rest back into the container. By the simplified handling of the container according to the invention can work time and thus Cost savings.

Of the container may have the shape of a cuboid, wherein the closure element as cover on one edge of the cuboid pivotable about this edge is arranged. The closure element can also be displaced on container be arranged. The closure element may, for. B. in the manner of a Slider be formed, which for releasing an opening of the container can be moved. Furthermore, the container in the manner of a matchbox be educated. This is a drawer-shaped insert of a Use surrounding sliding closure element closed. To open of the container the closure element is displaced relative to the insert.

The pivotable closure element may have at least one lateral boundary for preventing a lateral falling out of the small parts when the container is open. This further improves the safe handling of the container. The closure element can have, for example, in the case of a container designed as a cuboid with a closure element embodied as a pivotable lid, two lateral boundaries which are substantially parallel to one another and which are swung out of the container when the container is opened. When the container is open, these lateral boundaries can virtually form a continuation of the side walls of the container. Thus, falling out of small parts on both sides of Ver be prevented element.

Preferably is the pivotable closure element as a flap, in particular as Closing flap with a closing flap for holding the flap when the container is closed, educated. The magnet can be attached to the flap, the Locking tab or the lateral boundary be arranged d. H. he is on the flap, the closure flap or the lateral boundary fixed inside or outside. The magnet can but also in the flap, the closing flap or the lateral boundary, d. H. be embedded in it. Thereby is the magnet from the outside not visible and protected from mechanical influences. He can not do that so easily damaged or detached become. The hardware is attracted and held by the magnet. This will ensure that the hardware is open container easily accessible and are easy to remove, because to remove the small parts not in the container must be grasped, but the small parts of the open closure element can be removed.

At the container and / or on the closure element can, optionally next to or instead the locking tab, a means for holding the closure element when the container is closed be provided. The means for holding, for example, as an adhesive strip be educated. However, it is also conceivable, the closure element and the container with mutually corresponding means for holding, for example a Velcro or the like to provide. The closure element can also be held by the magnet so that the container thereby is closed. For this purpose, for example, a cord on the loading container or cord provided with a ferromagnetic metal plates is provided. The string and the metal plate are so dimensioned and arranged to keep the shutter member closed will if the metal plate held by the magnet. The metal plate can, for example have the shape of a seal. By the means of holding can an unwanted opening of the container and an associated falling out of the small parts avoided become.

Of the container is preferably made of a plastic or a metal, in particular Aluminum or of a foldable material, such as corrugated cardboard or Cardboard, formed. The container may be wholly or partly from a folded sheet of foldable material be formed. Such a container is very easy to make. For the preparation of the container according to the invention is the foldable material or the folded sheet before or after folding in the appropriate places with one or more Provided magnets.

It is possible, too, the container with a viewing window, preferably of a transparent film, to provide. This is a particularly easy way created, the remaining capacity on small parts in the container without opening of the container to check. Farther a container provided with such a viewing window is also suitable for presentation the one in the container recorded small parts, for example for sales purposes.

The container according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment and the figure:
The figure shows a container according to the invention 10 with a partially opened flap 12 , which for holding the flap with closed container, the locking tab 14 having. Furthermore, the closure flap 12 lateral limits 16 on, which swing out of the container during pivoting of the flap and thereby the side walls 20 extend, so to speak. Near the locking tab 14 is in the flap 12 the magnet 18 arranged. This is in the flap 12 integrated and not visible from the outside, but here shown to illustrate the invention.
