Description

technical field

The present invention relates to a foldable transport device for transporting electric scooters, with the aid of which electric scooters can be transported particularly easily and comfortably.

Background of the Invention

Previously known are transport devices for electric scooters with reinforcing insert plates in a bottom section of the transport device. Advantages of such transport devices are the dimensional stability when moving the transport device and the even distribution of the scooter weight over the floor section, which makes it possible to transport the transport device in a particularly comfortable manner. In particular, this also prevents the transport device from sagging. However, these transport devices are difficult to stow, compress and/or transport in the unloaded state due to the dimensional stability of their large pack size. An unloaded or empty state is understood to mean that state of a transport device in which there is no item to be transported in the transport device. In contrast, the loaded state is that state of a transport device in which transport goods intended for the transport device are located in the transport device. A pack size is the space required in length x width x height.

Also known are transport devices for electric scooters made of a flexible textile material without stiffening elements. Flexible means that the material can be deformed with the help of average muscle power, in particular almost any bendability without visibly damaging it. The advantage of such transport devices is that they can be easily compressed when empty, for transport and/or when the transport device is stowed away.

In particular, such transport device for electric scooters are not known from the prior art, which have both the advantages of dimensional stability when transporting electric scooters, as well as the advantages of deformability and compressibility in the unloaded state.

There is a constant need to improve the wearing comfort of transport devices for electric scooters. There is also a constant need to improve the compressibility of transport devices to a reduced pack size, ie in the unloaded state without goods to be transported.

Description of the invention

Proceeding from this situation, it is an object of the present invention to provide a transport device for electric scooters which combines the advantages of predominantly hard-shelled, ie dimensionally stable, and predominantly soft-shelled, ie flexible and thus deformable, transport devices.

The object of the invention is solved by the features of the independent main claims. Advantageous configurations are specified in the dependent claims. As far as technically possible, the teachings of the subclaims can be combined with the teachings of the main and subclaims in any way.

According to the invention, a transport device for a scooter, in particular an electric scooter, is provided, the transport device having a base body with at least one floor section and with at least one side segment connected to the floor section for edging the floor section, the at least one floor section and the at least one side segment together enclose at least one accommodation space, designed to accommodate a scooter in a folded state, wherein the at least one floor section forms a lower segment of the accommodation space; and wherein the floor section has at least one first insert, designed to reinforce the floor section and for even weight distribution of a weight of the scooter accommodated in the receiving space over the floor section and wherein the floor section has at least one folded seam, over which a packing size of the transport device, in a empty state, is collapsible.

Advantageous aspects of the claimed invention are explained below and preferred modified embodiments of the invention are further described below. Explanations, in particular on advantages and definitions of features, are basically descriptive and preferred, but not limiting, examples. If an explanation is limiting, this is expressly mentioned.

Electric scooters usually consist of a footboard, a handlebar, an electric drive unit, a battery and at least two wheels. The running board and the handlebars are usually responsible for the largest part of the pack size. The battery is also mostly on and/or installed in the running board and/or the handlebar. The handlebars and footboard are usually arranged in an L-shape relative to one another. In order to reduce the pack size of the entire scooter, these can usually be separated at the connection point of footboard and handlebar by, for example, separating or folding in the area of the corner of the L-shape to an elongated I-shaped pack size. In the further course, the state of this I-shaped pack size is also referred to as the folded state of a scooter. Universal transport devices for electric scooters must be of a certain size in order to be able to accommodate various models from different manufacturers. The fluctuations of scooters in weight and dimensions are not negligible. When folded, the pack dimensions usually range up to 1.2 mx 0.5 mx 0.5 m and the weight up to 25 kg.

The purpose of transportation devices for electric scooters is usually to make the transportation of electric scooters more comfortable when they are not in use. This includes, among other things, transport in buildings and over impassable surfaces. In addition, electric scooters are protected from external environmental influences in transport devices. In many countries, transport devices allow electric scooters to be taken on public transport free of charge. For this reason, these transport devices are often carried or pulled over long distances and many steps, e.g. when accessing train or subway stations, and are also used within the public transport system itself. Comfortable transport behavior and adequate protection of the transported electric scooter are correspondingly important requirements for such transport devices. Reinforcing inserts in transport devices not only ensure stability, but also protect the goods being transported, for example when the transport device is pulled across the floor or up stairs. Additional skids on the underside provide additional protection.

Padded handles and shoulder straps can be used to carry the bag more comfortably. Likewise, by fixing the goods to be transported within the transport device in that inserts are used for an optimized weight distribution and the goods to be transported are held in position by additional tension belts. The wearing comfort is further increased by various transport options such as the use of carrying handles, shoulder straps and/or a rolling device.

When folded, some scooters still have a fairly wide extension perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Reasons for this can be, for example, wide handlebar grips or large wheels that cannot be dismantled, folded or generally modified in terms of their spatial extent, for the benefit of a small pack size. Such scooters are usually difficult to stow in transport devices.

A large opening in the transport device, which extends over the entire length and width of the transport device, also makes it possible to store large and bulky electric scooters in the transport device and to get them out again without any problems.

Transport devices that can be locked can protect the transported goods from external influences. In particular, the transported goods can thus be protected from the weather. In the case of base materials that are not water-repellent or waterproof per se, an impregnation can usually be applied to create the effect. Reinforced inserts offer additional protection of the transported goods against impacts and other damage. Additional distances between the transport devices and the ground, e.g. skids, can also increase protection. In this way, the floor section and/or the goods to be transported can be protected from dirt and/or impacts and/or abrasive damage.

With zippers, transport devices for electric scooters can be opened and closed quickly and reliably.

The movement behavior of the transport device with built-in rolling devices is influenced by various influencing factors. These include the number of rollers, the way the rollers are attached, the center distance of the rollers, the roller diameter and the roller width, the dimensional stability of the transport device, the dimensions and extent of the transport device, the weight distribution of the transported goods in the transport device, etc.

The dimensional stability of the transport device is influenced by the strength and rigidity of the basic processing material and additional strength and rigidity provided by reinforcement plates, edge reinforcements, etc., which are firmly or loosely connected to the basic processing material, against the static loads of the transport goods and the transport device, as well as against the dynamic loads in the moving state.

In particular, it is provided that the receiving space is elongate along a longitudinal axis of the transport device. As a result, the receiving space of the transport device for the Particularly suitable for accommodating folded scooters. Unused areas of the receiving space are avoided when transporting scooters and the use of space is improved.

Preferably, the bottom portion tapers in a direction along the longitudinal axis. This advantageously results in improved use of the receiving space. In this way, the transport device is advantageously adapted to the geometry of the handlebars and the handlebars of the scooter, with the entire handlebar including the handlebar grip being configured in a T-shape.

It is also particularly preferred that at least one roller is arranged on a side of the base section pointing away from the receiving space. With such a roller, the transport device can be rolled over a surface, which opens up additional transport options that increase comfort for the user.

It is also advantageous that at least one roller is connected to the floor section on a side of the floor section pointing away from the receiving space. As a result, the roller is coupled to a dimensionally stable part of the transport device, so that a one-sided lever is created, which opens up further additional transport options that increase comfort.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that two rollers are arranged on a side of the base section pointing away from the receiving space. In particular, the stability of the transport device is improved by the additional roller. In this way, lateral tipping of the transport device can be avoided. This increases the wearing comfort.

It is also advantageous that two rollers are connected to the floor section on a side of the floor section pointing away from the receiving space. As a result, the rollers are coupled to a dimensionally stable part of the transport device, so that a one-sided lever is created in which lateral tipping is avoided, which opens up further additional transport options that increase comfort.

In particular, it is provided that the at least one roller is connected to the base section and/or arranged on the base section at a narrower end region of the tapering base section.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the base section is triangular or quadrangular. Due to the configuration of the floor section, the transport device can be adapted to the transport goods, scooters. Improved carrying behavior of the transport device can thus be made possible.

It is also advantageous that the bottom section has a trapezoidal shape. Due to the configuration of the floor section, the transport device can be adapted to the transport goods, scooters. Improved carrying behavior of the transport device can thus be made possible.

In particular, it is provided that the bottom section is designed as an isosceles trapezoid and wherein the legs of the trapezium of equal length are both longer than both sides extending parallel to one another. Due to the configuration of the floor section, the transport device can be adapted to the transport goods, scooters. Improved carrying behavior of the transport device can thus be made possible.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention it is provided that the bottom section is designed as an isosceles trapezoid and parallel sides of the trapezium have an aspect ratio in a range from 1/4 to 1/2, preferably an aspect ratio of 3/5. Due to the configuration of the floor section, the transport device can be adapted to the transport goods, scooters. In addition, the movement behavior in a confined space can be improved. Improved transport behavior of the transport device can thus be made possible.

It is also advantageous that the base section is designed as an isosceles triangle and with legs of the triangle of the same length both being longer than a third side of the triangle. Due to the configuration of the floor section, the transport device can be adapted to the transport goods, scooters. In addition, the movement behavior in a confined space can be improved. Improved transport behavior of the transport device can thus be made possible.

In particular, it is provided that the bottom section is designed as an isosceles trapezoid or as an isosceles triangle, with the third side of the triangle or a longer of the two parallel sides of the trapezoid being at most half as long as the bottom section along the longitudinal axis. Both modified embodiments described above are particularly preferred. Due to the design of the floor section, the transport device can be particularly well adapted to the transport goods, scooters. In addition, the movement behavior can be improved in a confined space. Improved transport behavior of the transport device can thus be made possible.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the bottom section is designed as an isosceles trapezoid or as an isosceles triangle, with the third side of the triangle or a longer of the two parallel sides of the trapezium having a length ratio to a length of the bottom section along the longitudinal axis in a range of 1/4 to 7/16, preferably 5/12. This particularly advantageous configuration of the floor section allows the transport device to be adapted to the transport goods, scooters. In addition, the movement behavior in a confined space can be improved. Improved transport behavior of the transport device can thus be made possible.

It is also advantageous if the base section has an oval shape. In addition to adapting to the geometry of a scooter, this allows more sensitive accessories, e.g. B. in additional, provided in the body pockets, stowed, such as a helmet.

In particular, it is provided that the folding seam divides the base section into two parts transversely to the longitudinal axis. As a result, the transport device can be folded in particular along the longitudinal side and can therefore be compressed particularly well.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the folded seam is arranged at a distance from a center of the longitudinal axis of the base section. A preferred folding can thereby be achieved insofar as, for example, the arrangement of the roll in one of the parts makes a central folding disadvantageous. In this way, the compressibility can also be improved accordingly.

It is also advantageous that the folding seam divides the base section into two parts transversely to the longitudinal axis, with a first part extending over 2/5 of the total length of the base section along the longitudinal axis and a second part extending over 3/5 of a total length of the base section along the longitudinal axis extends. A particularly preferred fold can thus result if, for example, the arrangement of the roll in one of the parts makes a central fold disadvantageous. In this way, the compressibility can also be improved accordingly.

In particular, it is provided that the folding seam divides the base section into two parts transversely to the longitudinal axis, with a first part extending over 1/3 of a total length of the base section along the longitudinal axis and a second part extending over 2/3 of a total length of the base section along the Long axis extends. A particularly preferred fold can thus result if, for example, the arrangement of the roll in one of the parts makes a central fold disadvantageous. In this way, the compressibility can also be improved accordingly.

In particular, it is provided that the folding seam is designed in such a way that the base body can be folded in such a way that, in a folded state, the bottom section encloses a large part of the at least one side segment.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the transport device has the following: a first section at the first longitudinal end of the receiving space, a second section opposite the first section, the first section and the second section being connected to one another via the fold seam and together enclose the receiving space, the first section having a rolling device and the second section having a handle.

Due to the combined arrangement of a rolling device and a handle in the opposite sections of the transport device, the transport device can be rolled over a surface like a trolley by applying a pushing or pulling force to the handle with the help of the rolling device. The weight of the transport device to be lifted is reduced by the effect of the one-sided lever, making transport more comfortable.

It is also advantageous that the rolling device has at least one roller. Advantageously, rolls can be stored easily and offer good rolling behavior and low resistance on various surfaces.

In particular, it is provided that the at least one roller is a smooth-running roller. Smooth-running rollers have a particularly low rolling resistance and are intended to make it easier to pull or push the transport device over the rolling device.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention it is provided that the at least one roll has a diameter of at least 0.03 meters, preferably at least 0.06 meters, particularly preferably at least 0.08 meters, in particular which has 0.09 meters. Larger wheels take up more space, but they also run well on uneven surfaces. The size of 0.09 meters shows a particularly good compromise between running behavior on typically encountered surfaces and roll size, so that the comfort when transporting the transport device is increased.

It is also advantageous that the at least one first insert is flat or plate-shaped. Flat means in particular that the thickness of the insert is at least one, preferably two decimal orders of magnitude smaller than the length of the longest direction of extension of the insert. The insert nestles against the shell of the recording room and requires very little space in the recording room.

In particular, it is provided that the at least one insert is non-detachably connected, in particular riveted, to the base section. The insert is fixed in the receiving space by connecting the insert and the base section. The uniform distribution of the weight of the transported goods on the floor section can be reliably implemented.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the base section is reinforced by at least one additional insert, the first insert extending over the base section in the first section of the transport device and the additional insert extending over the base section in the second section of the transport device extends. By using additional inserts, the entire floor section is reinforced so that the weight can be distributed over the entire floor section.

It is also advantageous that the first and the further insert are each aligned with at least one edge parallel to the at least one fold seam and adjoin the fold seam, the first and the further insert together extending over the entire bottom section. Due to the adjoining inserts directly at the fold seam, these can be placed one on top of the other via a fold at the fold seam, as a result of which the transport device can be compressed. Furthermore, the stability of the transport device is increased as much as possible.

In particular, it is provided that the at least one side segment is configured so flexibly and the fold seam is arranged such that the packing size of the transport device can be reduced by up to 70% by folding it together. Due to the flexibility of the side segments, they can be folded in the area of the edge between the bottom section and side segment in such a way that the transport device can be compressed in its entirety by a zigzag fold, thereby reducing the pack size by up to 70%.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the longest side of the spatial extent of the transport device can be reduced by at least half, preferably by two-thirds, by folding it together. Reducing the length of the longest side is the most efficient way to reduce pack size and thus achieve compression of the transport device.

It is also advantageous that the floor section has at least one runner which, in cooperation with the at least first insert, is designed to space the entire floor section from a surface over which the transport device for transporting the scooter can be moved. An additional spacing from the ground protects both the goods to be transported and the transport device itself from impacts, dirt and abrasive damage, both in the stationary state lying on the ground and in the moving state over the ground or over steps.

In particular, it is provided that the at least one runner extends parallel or almost parallel to the longitudinal axis or to one of the side segments of the transport device running on the longitudinal side. This makes it easier to pull the transport device over stairs, for example.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one skid is designed to reinforce the transport device along the longitudinal axis. This makes it easier to pull the transport device over stairs, for example.

It is also advantageous that the floor section has at least two runners, which are connected to the floor section on a side of the floor section pointing away from the receiving space. In this way, in particular, additional stability is achieved, both in the stationary state lying on the ground and in the moving state over the ground or over steps.

In particular, it is provided that the floor section has at least two runners, the runners extending from the at least one roller in a first end area of the floor section to a second end area of the floor section along the longitudinal axis. Through the first Covering the entire length of the floor section achieves additional reinforcement of the floor section and at the same time provides increased protection for the transport device.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the base section has at least two runners, the runners each extending in an edge region of the base section along one of the side segments running longitudinally. Due to the arrangement in the edge areas, additional stability is achieved both when lying on the ground when not in motion and when in motion over the ground or over steps.

Another advantage is that the runners are interrupted at the fold seam. As a result, the transport device can also be folded over the fold seam in the areas of the runners.

In particular, it is provided that the base body and the folded seam are formed from the same textile fabric. Fabrics are known to be light, strong and durable materials that are deformable and initially subject to structural deformation under load. Such a deformation ensures that the shape of the receiving space of the transport device adapts to the load on the transported goods.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the base section is formed from two segments, the segments being connected to one another at the fold seam, in particular sewn and/or welded. The two separate segments and a seam between the segments make it easier to fold at this very seam. A connection via a seam reinforces the material locally. Welded seams are also impermeable to splash water and thus increase the protection of the transport device from external environmental influences.

It is also advantageous that a seam, at which the segments of the base section are sewn together, protrudes into the receiving space. For such a seam, the material of the floor section segments is bent into the inner space when they meet and then sewn together. Thus, an outward fold at this very seam results in a flattening of the material of the floor portion segments. The induced bending of the Nahe is accordingly eliminated. This makes the folding process easier. In addition, the relocation of the seam into the receiving space on the outside of the transport device ensures a pleasing visual appearance.

In particular, it is provided that the folding seam is designed in such a way that it preferably enables the base body to be folded in such a way that, in a folded state, the bottom section encloses a large part of the at least one side segment. As a result of such a fold and the enclosing of the side segments, the bottom section segments of the transport device are on the outside in the folded state. In particular, this means that the robust segments of the floor section are on the outside. As a result, the transport device is better protected from external influences in the folded state.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the transport device has a locking device which is designed in such a way that it holds the main body together in a folded state. As a result, the transport device can be fixed in a maximally compressed state and stowed away in a particularly space-saving manner, without the transport device being able to unfold again on its own.

It is also advantageous that the transport device has at least one pocket. Additional storage options in the transport device are advantageous in order to also be able to transport accessories such as charging cables, spare batteries, etc.

In particular, it is provided that the at least one pocket is attached to an outside and/or an inside of the transport device. It is advantageous here that outside pockets enable quick access. Inner pockets, on the other hand, offer greater protection than outer pockets.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one pocket can be closed, in particular by means of a zipper or Velcro fastener. A closable opening allows the transported goods to fall out and provides increased protection against various environmental influences. Zippers and Velcro fasteners can be opened and closed particularly quickly and at the same time reliably close the transport device. Waterproof and airtight designs are possible for zippers.

It is also advantageous that the receiving space can be closed by a closing means, in particular by a zipper. The opening of the transport device can be reliably closed by a closing means. This can prevent the transported goods from falling out and provide increased protection against various environmental influences are realized. Zippers can be opened and closed particularly quickly and can be used particularly well with large openings. Waterproof and airtight designs are possible for zippers.

In particular, it is provided that the at least one closing means is arranged in such a way that it enables an opening over the entire length and width of the transport device. This enables a particularly fast and convenient loading and unloading of the transport device with bulky scooters that pack large dimensions.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the transport device consists of a flexible material, preferably a flexible and textile material, particularly preferably a water-repellent, flexible and textile material. Water-repellent means in particular that the material passes a DIN EN ISO 811:2018-08 water column test with a water column of over 1000 mm. Either the material itself can have the water-repellent properties, or this property is achieved by impregnating the material.

It is also advantageous that the transport device has a strap for carrying over one shoulder. In this way, the transport device can be transported in a particularly comfortable manner and the wearer has his hands free during transport.

In particular, provision is made for the transport device to have at least two attachment points, designed to accommodate the belt, with these attachment points being arranged on the base body. A shoulder strap can advantageously be attached to the transport device by the attachment points, so that the transport device is held stably in its position when carried via the shoulder strap.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the strap is removable and/or adjustable in length and/or padded and/or rotatably mounted by 360° at the attachment points. The rotatable mounting at the suspension points prevents the shoulder strap from twisting, making the carrying process more comfortable. Due to the adjustable length, the shoulder strap can be adjusted individually, e.g. to different body sizes of the wearer, thus increasing comfort when carrying. The padding transfers the weight more evenly to the wearer's shoulder and increases comfort.

It is also advantageous that the transport device has two opposite grip straps for lifting the transport device. This makes it possible to carry the transport device in different ways. The grips can be held by two people, which means that the weight to be carried is divided between two people. Alternatively, a single person can take hold of both grip straps and lift the transport device alone. The different carrying options offer increased comfort when carrying, in particular because it is possible to switch between them and thus the type of load can be changed.

In particular, it is provided that the two handle straps are connected to the base body over an entire width of the transport device. As a result, the handle straps are connected particularly securely to the base body and the seams that connect the handle straps and the transport device are relieved.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the two handle straps have wrapping padding for the detachable connection of the handle straps and/or for padding when carried. As a result, the grip straps can be connected to one another during the carrying process by a single person. The individual handle straps then no longer fall sideways next to the transport device when the handle straps are released, but remain in the center above the transport device. The grip area of the grip straps is reinforced by the padding in such a way that the comfort when holding the transport device in one hand is increased.

It is also advantageous that the transport device has at least one tension belt designed to fix the scooter in the receiving space and to compress the transport device in a loaded state. As a result, the scooter is held in the receiving space in such a way that it cannot slip on the floor section during the carrying process. In particular, the scooter is thus held in the middle on the floor section. In addition, the excess empty space of the receptacle not occupied by the scooter is reduced in a portion of the transport device. The tension belt thus ensures that the pack size of the transport device is compressed.

In particular, it is provided that the transport device has two tension belts, designed to fix the scooter in the receiving space. As a result, the scooter is held at two points in the receiving space in such a way that it cannot slip on the floor section during the carrying process and also cannot twist. In particular, the scooter is held in place at two points in the middle of the floor section. addition Lich the excess empty space of the receptacle that is not occupied by the scooter is reduced in both sections of the transport device. The tension belt thus ensures that the pack size of the transport device is compressed.

According to a modified embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one tensioning strap is connected to the floor section and/or to the side segment. This prevents the tension belt from slipping lengthwise or crosswise. In particular, the two tensioning straps are spaced apart from one another by an advantageous distance, so that the scooter can be fixed particularly well in the transport device.

It is also advantageous that the at least one tensioning strap has a click fastener. As a result, the tension belt can be operated particularly easily, in particular with just one hand.

It is also advantageous that the receiving space of the transport device has a cross-sectional area perpendicular to the direction of longitudinal extension, this cross-sectional area increasing from one section to the other section, the receiving space.

Detailed description of the exemplary embodiments

The exemplary embodiments described are merely examples that can be modified and/or supplemented in a variety of ways within the scope of the claims. Each feature described for a particular embodiment can be used on its own or in combination with other features in any other embodiment. Each feature that is described for an embodiment of a certain category of claims can also be used in a corresponding manner in an embodiment of another category of claims.

the 1 until 4 show schematic views of the transport device 1 according to an embodiment from different perspectives.

The transport device 1 comprises a base body with a base section 3 (see 4 ). Four side segments 6 are provided in the present exemplary embodiment. The side segments 6 (see 1 and 3 ) are connected to the bottom section 3. Furthermore, the side segments 6 are each connected to one another.

Both the bottom section 3 and the side segments 6 are made of a flexible material, which can be a textile material made of plastic or leather, for example. A material is preferred which has dimensional stability over pack dimensions of 30 cm x 60 cm x 120 cm. For example, the material made of polyamide, e.g. Example, nylon, or made of polyester.

The side segments 6 and the bottom section 3 together enclose a receiving space (not provided with reference numbers). The receiving space is via a tab 4 (see 2 ) lockable. The tab 4 can be connected to the side segments 6 via closure means 2, as a result of which the receiving space is closed. To close the receiving space, the transport device 1 can have a connecting segment 6a which, in the closed state of the Recording space the tab 4 with the side segments 6 connects.

Two of the side segments 6 have handles 10 (see 1 until 3 ) on. The handles 10 are firmly connected to the side segments 6. In this case, connecting means of the handles 10 extend as far as the bottom section 3 (see FIG 4 ) and are connected to the bottom section 3 and the side segments 6.

The accommodation space is designed to accommodate a scooter. When carrying the transport device 1, this is held in shape by the recorded scooter. The transport device 1 has two inserts, not shown, on its bottom section 3 . The inserts are accommodated in the accommodation space and rest on the floor section 3 on an inside of the accommodation space. The deposits are firmly connected to the floor section. They keep the bottom section 3 in shape. Furthermore, shape-retaining means are the runners 12 (see 4 ). In the present embodiment, four runners 12 are provided. This is to be understood as equivalent to an interruption of two runners 12 by a fold seam 5. The runners 12 can be designed as hollow profiles, for example. In cross-section, they can be rectangular or crescent-shaped. The runners 12 each extend in an edge region of the floor section 3. In other words, the runners 12 laterally delimit the floor section 3. They extend along a longitudinal axis of the floor section 3. The runners 12 here extend on both sides of a folded seam 5 (see 4 ) which is provided on the bottom section 3. In the present exemplary embodiment, the runners 12 extend together over the entire length of the floor section 3.

The folded seam 5 is formed on the bottom section 3 . The folded seam 5 extends transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the longitudinal axis of the base section 3.
