Description

The present invention relates to a packaging container, comprising a base, a jacket protruding therefrom with a wall which encloses a packaging space and comprises a free edge on the side facing away from the base, two or more longitudinal reinforcement elements, a first reinforcement element extending from the base in Direction of the free edge extends and a second reinforcement element is aligned transversely and in particular perpendicular to the first reinforcement element and is arranged at a distance from the floor, and a connecting device which comprises a first receptacle for the first reinforcement element and a second receptacle for the second reinforcement element and with the wall is engaged.

The invention also relates to a connecting device for such a packaging container.

Packaging containers with reinforcing elements have a high level of stability. These packaging containers can have large dimensions with high weight at the same time. For example, packaging containers with areas of approximately 110 cm x 60 cm or 250 cm x 150 cm are used. A height of the packaging containers can be 80 cm or more, for example. The mass of the loaded packaging container can be, for example, up to approximately 1 t or more. The above figures are presently non-limiting for the invention, they only serve to explain a typical use of such packaging containers, for example for the transport of sea freight or for storage.

It is known to stack multiple packaging containers of this type on top of one another, so that stack heights of a few meters can result. It is all the more important to give the packaging container a robust design. For this reason, for reinforcement and for improved force dissipation in the case of packaging containers stacked on top of one another, reinforcement elements are provided which can be coupled to the wall of the jacket via the connecting device. A first reinforcement element can stand on a floor and extend in the height direction of the packaging container, and a second reinforcement element extends transversely and in particular perpendicular to the first reinforcement element, for example across the packaging space.

The object of the present invention is to provide a packaging container and a connecting device for a packaging container which has improved handling.

This object is achieved according to the invention in a packaging container of the type mentioned in that the connecting device engages directly or indirectly with the wall and a fixing element is fixed or formed on the wall, which engages with the first receptacle and / or engages with the second shot.

In the packaging container according to the invention, the fixing element is arranged together with the first reinforcing element in the first receptacle and / or arranged together with the second reinforcing element in the second receptacle and can thus be in engagement with the respective receptacle. Since the fixing element is fixed or formed on the wall, this offers in particular the possibility that the connecting device is immovable relative to the wall and thus to the jacket when the packaging container is used as intended. In particular, in contrast to conventional connecting devices, the connecting device can preferably be designed to be immovable relative to the wall of the packaging container. In this way, via the connecting device, the first reinforcing element and / or the second reinforcing element are preferably also designed to be immovable relative to the wall of the packaging container. As a result, a defined target position of at least one reinforcement element can be assumed. This proves to be advantageous, for example, for an assembly of the packaging container in which the reinforcing elements are attached to the jacket with the connecting device. This preferably proves to be advantageous for the stability of the packaging container in that the reinforcing elements maintain their intended position even when the load is high and / or the packaging containers are stacked one on top of the other.

The reinforcing elements are, for example, strip-shaped.

The connecting device can for example be arranged on the free edge.

The fixing element is preferably formed in one piece with the wall. This allows the packaging container to be manufactured in a technically simple and inexpensive manner, for example from a paper material such as corrugated cardboard.

In another preferred embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that the fixing element is formed separately from the wall and fixed to it.

It can prove to be advantageous, for example, if the fixing element is formed as a tongue or tab on the wall. The tongue or tab can, for example, engage in the first receptacle and / or in the second receptacle and be arranged between wall sections of the connecting device which delimit the receptacle.

The wall can preferably comprise two recesses arranged at a distance from one another and extending in the direction of the floor, between which the fixing element is arranged. The fixing element is designed, for example, as a tongue or tab between the recesses.

The recesses can be formed, for example, by punching the wall.

The recesses are, for example, slot-shaped. The connecting device can engage in the recesses with, for example, plate-shaped or slot-shaped wall sections and thereby be in engagement with the wall.

The recesses are preferably aligned parallel to one another.

From the above it follows that it can be advantageous if the connecting device, in particular with two spaced-apart wall sections of the first receptacle and / or the second receptacle, engages in the recesses and is in engagement with the wall.

It can be favorable if a free edge of the fixing element facing away from the floor is set back relative to the free edge in the direction of the floor and a recess is formed on the wall between the free edge and the free edge. In the recess, for example, the connecting device which is in engagement with the wall is arranged in sections in such a way that, in a preferred embodiment, it does not protrude over the free edge.

The second receptacle can, for example, be arranged in the height direction of the packaging container in the region of the recess.

It is advantageous if the connecting device comprises an abutment area and, via this abutment area, bears against the wall on the side facing away from the packaging space. This enables a reliable target position of the connecting device on the jacket.

It is advantageous if the contact area has a flat design and the connecting device rests on the wall in a flange-like manner. For example, on the side facing away from the packaging space, the connecting device is designed to surround the first receptacle and / or the second receptacle in the form of a plate and forms a flat contact area.

The first receptacle is formed in the shape of a shaft, for example.

The second receptacle can, for example, comprise or form a support element for the second reinforcement element.

It is advantageous if a width of the fixing element is equal to or substantially equal to a width of the first reinforcing element transverse to its longitudinal extension and / or a width of the second reinforcing element is transverse to its longitudinal extension.

In combination with the last-mentioned advantageous embodiment of the invention, it proves to be advantageous if the fixing element and the first reinforcing element engage positively in the first receptacle and / or if the fixing element and the second reinforcement element engage positively in the second receptacle. It is expediently provided that the form fit of the fixing element and the first reinforcing element and / or the second reinforcing element are provided in the respective receptacle in two directions, which are aligned in a plane transverse and in particular perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the reinforcing element.

It is advantageous if the fixing element and the first reinforcing element in the first receptacle and / or if the fixing element and the second reinforcing element in the second receptacle bear against one another, preferably bear flat against one another. This proves to be advantageous, for example, for the positive fit of the fixing element with the respective reinforcing element in the first or second receptacle. The fixing element is preferably better protected against damage in contact with the respective reinforcing element, for example against kinking if the fixing element is a tongue or a tab.

It is favorable if the connecting device and / or the second reinforcing element is aligned with the free edge.

It can be advantageous if the connecting device and / or the second reinforcing element does not protrude beyond the free edge in a direction pointing away from the floor.

The second receptacle preferably comprises or forms a preferably planar support element for the second reinforcement element. A force acting on the second reinforcement element can be effectively diverted to the connecting device via the support element and via this to the first reinforcement element.

The second receptacle is advantageously in the direction of a wall of the packaging container opposite the wall beyond the first receptacle, in particular a further wall of the casing. In this way, a sufficiently large receptacle can be provided for the second reinforcing element.

The second receptacle is expediently open on a side facing away from the floor. This facilitates handling, with the second reinforcement element being able to be placed on a support element of the second receptacle from above, for example.

It can prove to be advantageous if a cross section of the first receptacle and a cross section of the second receptacle partially overlap. For example, a force acting on the second reinforcement element can thereby be better diverted to the first reinforcement element.

The second receptacle and the second reinforcing element are advantageously arranged in sections above the first receptacle and the first reinforcing element.

It can be favorable if the connecting device comprises at least one through opening in a wall delimiting the first receptacle and the second receptacle. A fastening element such as a nail or a screw for fixing the reinforcing elements to one another can, for example, reach through the through opening.

The first reinforcing element advantageously rests against the wall of the jacket. As a result, the packaging space can essentially be completely filled with packaged goods. In addition, buckling or bending of the wall can preferably be avoided.

The second reinforcement element is preferably aligned parallel to the floor.

It is favorable if the connection direction can be connected to the fixing element and the reinforcing elements manually and / or without tools and / or can be detached from them.

For connecting to the jacket, the connecting device can advantageously be plugged onto the fixing element.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is advantageous if the packaging container comprises a further reinforcing element which is arranged opposite the first reinforcing element on a further wall of the jacket, and a further connecting device for connecting the second reinforcing element and the further reinforcing element to one another. The further reinforcement element is aligned, for example, parallel to the first reinforcement element. Corresponding to the connection with the first reinforcement element, the second reinforcement element can be connected to the further reinforcement element via the further connection device and preferably to the jacket.

The coat 16 in the present case comprises four walls. The walls are from this 26th and 28 opposite each other and are on the long sides of the packaging container 10 arranged. Walls 30th and 32 are opposite each other and are on the transverse sides of the packaging container 10 arranged.

It goes without saying that the invention does not apply to a packaging container 10 with a rectangular floor plan is limited.

Position and orientation information such as “below”, “above” or the like are on the intended use of the packaging container 10 related. Here is the packaging container 10 with the pallet 12th Oriented below and, for example, on an installation surface 34 positioned. The lid 18th is on the top of the packaging container 10 arranged.

The coat 16 takes up a packaging room 35 one that is underneath from the ground 20th and, if present, on the top of the lid 18th closed is. In the packing room 35 is in 1 schematically packaged goods 37 shown.

To increase the stability of the packaging container 10 reinforcement elements are provided. This includes the packaging container 10 a first reinforcing element in the sense of the invention 36 and a second reinforcement element within the meaning of the invention 38 .

In addition, there is another reinforcing element 40 provided, which is identical in function and design to the first reinforcing element 36 is.

The reinforcement elements 36 , 38 can by means of a connecting device according to the invention 42 , which is present in the present example in a preferred embodiment, with each other and with the jacket 16 get connected.

In a corresponding manner, the reinforcing elements 38 and 40 by means of a further connecting device 44 with each other and with the coat 16 get connected.

The connecting devices 42 and 44 are designed identically, which is why the following only refers to the connecting device 42 is received. The relevant explanations using the example of the reinforcement elements 36 and 38 apply in a corresponding manner to the connection device 44 and the reinforcement elements 38 and 40 .

The reinforcement elements 36 to 40 are elongated in the present case and designed, for example, strip-shaped. A longitudinal extension runs in the reinforcement elements 36 and 40 in the height direction of the packaging container 10 and at the reinforcement element 38 in the transverse direction between the walls 26th and 28 .

The reinforcement elements 36 to 40 have a cross section with a width transversely to the longitudinal extent 46 along a first spatial direction and a width 48 along a second spatial direction. The present is the width 46 on the extension in the longitudinal direction of the packaging container 10 related, ie parallel to the walls 26th and 28 . The width 48 is at the reinforcement elements 36 and 40 on the transverse direction of the packaging container 10 related, ie parallel to the walls 30th and 32 . At the reinforcement element 38 is the width 48 on the height direction of the packaging container 10 based.

In the width direction 46 and / or the width direction 48 can use the reinforcement elements 36 , 38 have identical dimensions. A length of the reinforcement elements 36 , 38 can be identical.

The reinforcement elements 36 to 40 are made of wood in the present case.

The reinforcement element 36 serves to increase the stability of the packaging container 10 in the height direction. The reinforcement element 36 stands on the floor 20th on, especially on the bottom wall 22nd .

From the ground 20th extends the reinforcing element 36 in the height direction. The reinforcement element lies here 36 on the wall 26th on, preferably flat. A retaining element 50 is provided over which the reinforcing element 36 with the wall 26th connected is. The holding element 50 is bow-shaped and has a through opening through which the reinforcing element 36 reaches through. The holding element 50 is in a through opening in the wall 26th used and by means of a flange-like contact area on the outside of the wall 26th supported.

To accommodate the connecting device 42 includes the packaging container 10 a fixing element 52 . The fixing element 52 is particularly on the coat 16 arranged, especially on the wall 26th .

In the present case, the fixing element is 52 integral with the wall 26th educated. To this Way can be a simple and inexpensive production of the packaging container in terms of production technology 10 be achieved.

By manufacturing the fixing element 52 as part of the wall 26th is the fixing element 52 in the from the wall 26th defined plane. This enables a compact connection of the reinforcement elements 36 , 38 on the wall 26th .

As in particular from the 7th and 8th is on the wall 26th a recess 54 educated. The recess 54 extends from the free edge 24 towards the bottom 20th . In the longitudinal direction of the wall 26th is the recess 54 of edges 56 limited.

The recess extends in the vertical direction 54 up to a free edge 58 a tongue 60 than that of the fixing element 52 is presently designed. The tongue 60 extends in the longitudinal direction of the wall 26th between two spaced apart recesses 62 . The recesses 62 are towards the bottom 20th extends, as an extension of the recess 54 .

The recesses 54 and 62 are for example by punching the wall 26th educated.

Here are the recesses 62 Slit-shaped and are thereby on one side by the extension of the respective edge 56 bounded and on the opposite side by the tongue 60 .

The recesses 62 are aligned parallel to each other. In addition, the recesses 62 across and especially perpendicular to that of the free edge 24 in the defined direction ( 7th ).

It goes without saying that on the wall 28 a corresponding fixing element 52 is arranged, also designed as a tongue 60 . Due to the identically designed connecting devices 42 and 44 The above statements also apply to that on the wall 28 arranged fixing element.

In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that a separate from the wall 26th formed fixing element is used. The fixing element can for example be glued and / or stapled to the jacket 16 be connected. The further fixing element can be designed, for example, as a tongue or as a tab.

The shape of the connector 42 is in particular from the 2 to 7th evident.

The connecting device 42 is advantageously designed in one piece, in particular with a base body, and made, for example, of a plastic material.

The connecting device 42 comprises a first receptacle on the base body 62 for the first reinforcement element 36 and a second shot 66 for the second reinforcement element 38 .

The first shot 64 is essentially shaft-shaped and of two wall sections arranged at a distance from one another 68 limited that when the connection device is used as intended 42 in the longitudinal direction of the wall 26th are spaced from each other.

The recording 64 is also limited by two wall sections, which when the connecting device is used as intended 42 in the transverse direction of the packaging container 10 are spaced from each other. Here is one in the packing room 35 arranged front wall section 70 provided and a rear wall section spaced from this 72 that on the the packing room 35 facing away from the wall 26th is arranged.

The recording 64 is on the top, at the bottom 20th remote side, through an upper wall section 74 limited. In the wall section 74 can, for example, have at least one through opening 76 be provided. There are three through openings 76 available.

The second shot 66 is above the first recording 64 arranged. Laterally, in the longitudinal direction of the wall 26th , it is from the wall sections 68 limited that over the top wall section 74 protrude. At the back is the second shot 66 over the rear wall section 72 that is over the top wall section 74 protrudes, limited.

At the top, on the bottom 20th facing away, is the recording 66 open.

The wall section 74 forms a support element 78 the recording 66 for the reinforcement element 38 . In particular, the support element 78 designed planar.

The wall section 74 protrudes from the rear wall section 72 facing away from the front wall section 70 out. This is how the recording stands 66 towards the wall 28 about the recording 64 out.

The recordings 64 and 66 have an overlapping cross-section in sections, with the receptacle in particular 66 partially above the inclusion 64 wall section delimiting above 74 is arranged.

The connecting device comprises an abutment area 80 . The investment area 80 is designed in the present planar and flange-like. The investment area 80 is by an outer edge 82 of the rear wall section 72 formed with the outer edge 82 across the wall sections 68 laterally and downwards via an access opening 84 the first shot 64 protrudes.

The clear dimension of the intake 64 between the wall sections 68 is sized so that the tongue 60 and the reinforcement element 36 in width direction 46 form-fit in the receptacle 64 can intervene. In addition, the distance between the wall sections 68 dimensioned so that this distance corresponds to the distance between the recesses 62 corresponds to each other.

In the width direction 48 is the clear dimension of the uptake 64 sized so that the tongue 60 and the reinforcement element 36 , lying flat against each other, form-fitting in the receptacle 64 can be arranged.

The clear dimension of the intake 66 in the width direction 46 is sized so that the reinforcing element 38 form-fitting in the receptacle 66 can be arranged.

The distance between the wall sections 72 of the two connecting devices 42 , 44 from each other is dimensioned so that the reinforcing element 38 form-fitting between the wall sections 72 can be arranged.

The reinforcement element 38 in particular is parallel to the ground 20th aligned when it is on the connecting devices 42 , 44 is held.

In use of the connector 42 can, for example, initially the reinforcing element 36 on the wall 26th applied adjacent to the tongue 60 . In particular, the distance preferably corresponds to the free edge 58 from the ground 20th essentially the longitudinal extension of the reinforcement element 36 ( 7th and 8th ).

The connecting device 42 can engage with the wall 26th be brought by the wall sections 68 into the recess 62 introduced and brought into a positive fit with this. In doing so, the tongue will be used at the same time 60 and the reinforcement element 36 in the recording 64 inserted and positively received therein ( 9 and 10 ).

Then the reinforcement element 38 from above into the recording 66 introduced and on the support element 78 be filed ( 8th to 10 ).

The recordings 64 and 66 are aligned transversely and in particular perpendicular to one another. The ones in the recordings 64 and 66 recorded reinforcement elements 36 or. 38 are aligned transversely and especially perpendicular to each other when used as intended.

Is the connecting device 42 in engagement with the wall 26th , is the investment area 80 at the packaging room 35 facing away from the wall 26th arranged. In particular, the investment area 80 flange-like on the wall 26th lie against and support yourself on this ( 8th and 10 ).

The reinforcement elements 36 , 38 can use the connection facility 42 reliably with each other and with the wall 26th get connected. It is particularly advantageous that the connecting device 42 in engagement with both reinforcing elements 36 , 38 and additionally with the wall 26th stands. In this way, a reliable target position is achieved.

The target position in the longitudinal direction of the wall 26th can in particular through the engagement of the wall sections 68 into the recesses 62 be achieved so that the tongue 60 in the recording 64 intervenes. This is the connecting device 42 against moving relative to the wall 26th secured. The contact area is in the transverse direction 80 a reliable seat of the connecting device 42 on the wall 26th for sure.

Due to the flat contact of the reinforcement element 36 on the tongue 60 is the tongue 60 protected against damage.

In the present case, in the connected state, neither the connecting device protrudes 42 nor the reinforcement element 38 over the free edge 24 out. Especially ( 8th and 10 ) aligns the reinforcement element in the present example 38 with the free edge 24 . This proves to be advantageous for the seat of the lid 18th on the coat 16 .

With stacked packaging containers 10 can be the weight of the upper packaging container 10 on the packaging container below 10 be derived. The weight force can be from the reinforcement element 38 added and via this to the reinforcing elements 36 and 40 be derived. The reinforcement element 38 It also increases the stability of the packaging container 10 in the transverse direction, ie the direction in which the walls extend 30th , 32 .

About the strength of the reinforcement element 36 in the width direction 48 can be adjusted to the thickness of the wall 26th respectively. In the example of the packaging container considered so far 10 is the wall 26th made of two-ply corrugated cardboard ( 10 ). The reinforcement element 36 is in the width direction 48 so strong that a form-fitting fit in the receptacle 64 is made possible.

The same applies to the preferred embodiment of the invention in FIG 11 where the wall 26th is made of three-ply corrugated cardboard. The greater thickness of the wall in this case 26th requires a less strong reinforcement element 36 . Here, too, there is a positive fit in the receptacle 64 achieved.

The 12th shows an overall with the reference number 90 occupied packaging container according to the invention in a preferred embodiment. Identical reference symbols are used for features and components that are the same or have the same effect. The one with the packaging container 10 achievable advantages can with the packaging container 90 can also be achieved. To avoid repetition, reference is made to the above statements.

With the packaging container 90 are in addition to the reinforcement elements 36 to 40 and the connecting devices 42 , 44 further reinforcement elements and connecting devices are provided. On each of the longitudinal walls 26th , 28 are two connecting devices 42 or. 44 arranged as well as two reinforcing elements 36 or. 40 . There are two reinforcing elements in a corresponding manner 38 on the top of the coat 16 intended.

The packaging container 90 points compared to the packaging container 10 an even higher stability.

It can be advantageous if the in the direction of extent of the walls 26th , 28 through the reinforcement elements 36 to 40 made is evenly divided. The reinforcement elements are accordingly 36 to 40 and the connecting devices 42 , 44 at the packaging container 10 positioned centrally in its longitudinal direction. With the packaging container 90 this is preferably followed by a subdivision into three equal sections.

It goes without saying that alternatively or additionally on the walls 30th , 32 Reinforcing elements and connecting devices could be present.

In the case of the connecting device, it can be favorable if a fastening element is provided which reaches through a through opening and in particular the reinforcing elements 36 , 38 connects to each other to provide an even greater stability of the packaging container 10 (or 90).

Can be advantageous in the connection device 42 for example, if there is a gap between the front wall portion 70 and the top wall section 74 is available. The connecting device 42 has two such, in the present case gap-shaped interspaces 92 on ( 4th ). About the spaces in between 92 Any tolerances, especially in the case of the reinforcement element 36 better compensated.

For this purpose it is advantageous if one of the receptacles is on one of the wall sections 64 , 66 Voting areas 94 are provided for any dimensional tolerances. In the present example, the front wall section 70 two tuning areas 94 on. At the voting areas 94 is the wall section 70 non-planar. It's a head start 96 in the recording 64 formed into it. At the lead 96 can the wall section 70 are deformed, in particular due to the gap 92 to compensate for dimensional tolerances.
