Description

Aspects of the invention relate to freight containers.

Freight containers are known in a variety of designs. They are usually made of metal. In order to meet the high requirements for transport and loadability and also high transport loads, their basic structure must be very stable. Therefore, they usually have a corresponding dead weight of several tons.

In order to be suitable for lifting by loading devices, especially when the freight containers are loaded with cargo, coupling areas of a freight container that are intended for coupling to the loading devices must also be designed accordingly. Loading devices can be, for example, ground-based vehicles, such as a forklift, or loading cranes.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a freight container which is improved for coupling with elongated loading elements of a loading device. In particular, the functionality of the freight container should be improved with regard to the coupling with such an elongated loading element and yet a high level of mechanical stability should be provided, especially at the interface at which the loading element engages the freight container.

This task is at least solved by a freight container that has the features of an independent claim.

An independent aspect of the invention relates to a freight container

• - in particular with a support frame which has a base unit, the base unit having base longitudinal beams which are oriented with their longitudinal axes in the depth direction of the freight container,
• - in particular with side walls that are arranged on the support frame, and
• - in particular with at least one fork receptacle for receiving a fork arm of a loading device for loading, in particular lifting, the freight container, the fork receptacle being part of the base unit and being oriented in the width direction of the freight container, the fork receptacle being in this width direction has a laterally outer end, and at this laterally outer end is open to the side, in particular so that a fork can be inserted through the laterally outer end in the width direction into the fork tine receptacle, whereby
• - In particular, the fork receptacle with a section having the outer end is coupled or connected to a bottom-side connection node of the support frame with an outer floor longitudinal beam viewed in the width direction of the freight container, and
• - In particular, the fork receptacle is open downwards at least along the section that begins at the outer end and is dimensioned in the width direction, when viewed in the height direction of the freight container, and
• - In particular, the fork tine receptacle has at least one anti-tip and/or anti-loss device for the fork tine.

With the anti-tip device, in particular a tilting angle of the freight container, in particular about an axis oriented in the depth direction of the freight container, in particular relative to the fork, is limited, in particular when the fork is inserted into the fork receptacle in a transport position. In the transport position, the fork tine is arranged to overlap with the anti-tip device in the width direction. With the anti-loss device, in particular a vertical movement of a fork, which is inserted into the fork receptacle in the transport position, and out of the fork receptacle downwards, is blocked.

In one exemplary embodiment, the anti-tip and/or anti-loss device also allows the freight container to be rotated or turned over by an angle of at least 170°, in particular by at least 180°, compared to the basic position when fork arms are inserted into the fork receptacle in the transport position and the loading device allows such a rotation of the fork device. A basic position is the one in which the upper loading opening of the freight container points upwards, i.e. the base unit is at the bottom. This means that a freight container with the loading device can also be turned upside down, so that, for example, unloading can also take place by tipping over in the coupled state with the loading device. In particular, this unloading rotation is made possible around an axis of rotation oriented in the width direction of the freight container.

In particular, an anti-tip and/or anti-loss device is therefore a tip protective and/or captivity and/or turning device. The device is then designed to be so stable that it can be positioned upside down and the freight container then hangs freely on the fork arms in this position.

In particular, the fork tine receptacle has at least one captive device formed at least locally along the length of the fork tine receptacle as a fork tine loss protection device, which prevents a fork tine from moving out of a receiving space of the fork tine receptacle vertically downwards from the fork tine receptacle, when the fork tine is inserted into the fork tine receptacle in the width direction to such an extent that it is arranged to overlap with the loss protection device in this width direction.

In particular, a fork receptacle, viewed in the height direction of the freight container, is arranged to overlap with the height of the outer floor longitudinal member.

An independent aspect of the invention relates to a freight container

• - in particular with a support frame which has a base unit, the base unit having base longitudinal beams which are oriented with their longitudinal axes in the depth direction of the freight container,
• - in particular with side walls that are arranged on the support frame, and
• - in particular with at least one fork receptacle for receiving a fork arm of a loading device for loading, in particular lifting, the freight container, the fork receptacle being part of the base unit and being oriented in the width direction of the freight container, the fork receptacle being in this width direction has a laterally outer end, and at this laterally outer end is open to the side, in particular so that a fork can be inserted into the fork receptacle through the laterally outer end when viewed in the width direction of the freight container, whereby
• - In particular, the fork tine receptacle has at least one fork tine loss protection device which is formed at least locally along the length of the fork tine receptacle and which prevents a fork tine from moving out of a receiving space of the fork tine receptacle vertically downwards from the fork tine receptacle when the fork tine is moved is inserted into the fork tine receptacle in the width direction to such an extent that it is arranged to overlap with the loss protection device in this width direction.

In particular, in this freight container, the fork receptacle can be coupled or connected to a section having the outer end on a floor-side connection node of the support frame with an outer floor longitudinal beam in the width direction.

The fork anti-lost device can also be called a fork vertical anti-slip device or a fork vertical removal protection device. This can be used to prevent or block the fork from moving vertically downwards out of the receiving space of the fork receptacle, especially if the fork is inserted into the fork receptacle in the width direction to such an extent that it is arranged to overlap with the anti-loss device. At the location of the captive device, the receiving space has a height of in particular a maximum of 25 cm, in particular a maximum of 20 cm. In particular, the height is between 15 cm and 25 cm.

The anti-tip and/or anti-loss device can be an at least local closure of the receiving space of the fork tine holder downwards. Viewed in the width direction, the captive device can therefore only be designed locally.

In an advantageous exemplary embodiment, the fork loss protection device and the tipping protection device can be formed by a common device.

The anti-tip and/or anti-loss device can have the partial section. The anti-tip and/or anti-loss device can be designed to be open at the bottom at least in sections, viewed in the width direction. However, especially if it is only formed locally along the length of the fork receptacle, it can be completely closed at the bottom, in particular when viewed over the entire clear width of the fork receptacle in the depth direction of the freight container. The anti-tip and/or anti-loss device can therefore be designed, for example, as at least one local safety bracket. But it can also be formed as the underside, in particular as the bottom, of the fork receptacle.

In one exemplary embodiment, the anti-tip and/or anti-loss device can be designed to protrude downwards relative to the rest of the floor unit. This allows a local base of the freight container to be formed.

A bottom of the fork receptacle can be formed like a plate. Such a base can, for example, also extend over at least 50% to 100%, in particular between 50% and less than 100%, of the length of the fork mount. The bottom can have at least one downwardly open opening, for example at least one uninterrupted slot.

Not only in this exemplary embodiment, the floor can also be designed as a grid and/or perforated plate or the like.

With such a freight container, easy and safe coupling with a fork is possible. A precise insertion of the fork tine into the fork tine holder is possible. This allows the freight container to be loaded more quickly. This makes the coupling process of a fork with or into the fork holder easier and quicker. Furthermore, in one example, it is also achieved that the fork tine receptacle and also the tipping protection and/or loss protection device can be designed in a geometrically simple manner. Components of this can also be made smaller. This can also save installation space. This also makes it possible in exemplary embodiments to improve the assembly process of the freight container. Because the individual parts are easier to handle, they are also easier to assemble.

An independent aspect of the invention relates to a freight container

• - in particular with a support frame which has a base unit, the base unit having base longitudinal beams which are oriented with their longitudinal axes in the depth direction of the freight container,
• - in particular with side walls that are arranged on the support frame, and
• - in particular with at least one fork receptacle for receiving a fork arm of a loading device for loading, in particular lifting, the freight container, the fork receptacle being part of the base unit and being oriented in the width direction of the freight container, the fork receptacle being in this width direction has a laterally outer end, and at this laterally outer end is open to the side, in particular so that a fork can be inserted through the laterally outer end in the width direction into the fork tine receptacle, whereby
• - In particular, the fork receptacle with a section having the outer end is coupled or connected to a floor side member on the bottom side of the support frame with an outer floor longitudinal beam in the width direction, and
• - In particular, the fork receptacle has an underside in the height direction of the freight container, which is designed to be open at least partially downwards in the direction of its longitudinal axis with an opening, whereby
• - In particular, the opening has a clear width measured in the depth direction, which is smaller than a clear width measured in the depth direction of an upward volume space or receiving space of the fork receptacle, in particular the clear width of the opening is less than 10 cm, in particular between 1 cm and 10 cm.

Through such an underside, the receiving space is partially delimited at the bottom with a floor which has this opening integrated. In one exemplary embodiment, in particular, a tipping protection device and/or loss protection device is also formed on the underside of the fork tine receptacle. In exemplary embodiments, it can be integrated and thus also formed in one piece with the underside, in particular the floor. The underside can extend at least in some areas over the length of the fork receptacle measured in the width direction. In particular, the opening extends uninterrupted over the entire length of the underside.

In one exemplary embodiment, the support frame is constructed like a skeleton. This means in particular that it has beam-like scaffolding elements that form the skeleton. The basic size of the freight container is determined by the skeleton. In particular, floor supports, in particular floor longitudinal supports and floor cross supports, form a floor frame of the floor unit. The floor cross members are oriented with their longitudinal axes in the width direction of the freight container. Floor longitudinal beams are oriented with their longitudinal axes in the depth direction of the freight container. In particular, the floor frame is rectangular.

In one exemplary embodiment, the freight container, in particular the support frame, also has an overall cleanliness, in particular a Upper frame. In one exemplary embodiment, this can close the support frame at the top. The upper frame can be formed from upper cross beams and upper longitudinal beams. The upper frame can limit a filling and/or dumping opening of the freight container for filling with freight or for removing and/or pouring out freight. Vertical supports of the support frame can be arranged at least in corner areas of the freight container. These can be connected to the base unit and/or the upper frame, in particular directly. For example, one welded connection can be provided here. A screw connection can also be possible in addition to or instead of this. The framework elements of the support frame are in particular made of metal, preferably steel.

In particular, a fork receptacle is also a channel-like guide for a fork. The fork mount is particularly part of the base unit. In one embodiment, the fork receptacle is oriented with its longitudinal axis in the width direction of the freight container. In one exemplary embodiment, a fork receptacle has a length measured in the width direction of the freight container, which is at least so long that a fork can be inserted into it at least 70%, in particular at least 80%, of its length. The fork receptacle is therefore in particular at least 1 meter, in particular at least 1.5 meters long.

In one exemplary embodiment, an anti-tip and/or anti-loss device is arranged at a lower end of a fork receptacle when viewed in the height direction of the freight container. In one exemplary embodiment, it therefore limits the fork receptacle downwards. In particular, the tilt angle is considered around a tilt axis of the freight container that is oriented in the depth direction. If a fork is inserted into a fork receptacle in the width direction of the freight container and the freight container is lifted with the loading device, this tipping protection device alone prevents the freight container from tipping forward from the fork. This is because the underside of the fork tines hits the anti-tip device when the tipping process begins. In particular, the tipping angle of the freight container, particularly in the raised state, is limited by the tipping protection device to a value less than or equal to 20°, in particular between 2° and 20°, relative to an upper side of the fork. In this regard, every intermediate value, especially in steps of one, is to be viewed as disclosed. To prevent tipping, the fork tine is arranged to overlap in the width direction with the tipping protection device, in particular the tipping protection and/or loss protection device.

In one exemplary embodiment, the section is formed as a channel that is open at the bottom. In particular, the section is designed to be open at the bottom over its entire length measured in the width direction. In one exemplary embodiment, the section is thus open in cross section perpendicular to its longitudinal axis oriented in the width direction. In particular, side walls of the channel shape are straight downwards in one embodiment.

Preferably, a clear width of the lower opening of the section, measured in the depth direction of the freight container, is at least 80%, in particular between 80% and 130%, of the length of the ceiling wall of the channel, measured in the depth direction. In particular, this clear width is larger than a width of the fork. As a result, a lower insertion opening for a fork tine is formed in the section in a particularly advantageous manner. This is particularly advantageous because it means that a fork can be placed under the section and then only has to be arranged in the exact position in the depth direction to the fork receptacle in order to then be able to couple with the fork receptacle. It is then no longer necessary to set an exact position of the fork in the height direction before coupling. Rather, a rough position can be set here in the height direction. When the fork is subsequently raised, the fork is automatically immersed in the fork holder from below. At least in the height direction, the fork tines can therefore also be positioned more inaccurately outside the fork tine holder during loading and before coupling with the fork tine holder. This means that loading processes can also take place more quickly. Outside the fork mount, the fork can then be positioned overlapping the section in the width direction of the freight container. To connect, all you have to do is lift the fork so that it enters the fork holder from below via the insertion opening. This is also particularly advantageous because, in comparison to the functionally and structurally completely different introductions with a closed cross-section, such as tubular forklift pockets, the front tip of the fork tines is avoided when threading into the side openings of such forklift pockets is difficult. With such a relatively lengthy and technically difficult threading maneuver, as can be the case with solutions closed at the bottom, it can also happen that the lateral insertion is due to the small but completely closed cross-section is damaged, especially bent.

This will make threading even more difficult or require a repair. This is also avoided with the proposed concept.

In one exemplary embodiment, the section is a separate insert from the outer floor longitudinal beam, in particular also from the other parts of the freight container. This means that it can be manufactured separately as a separate component. This also makes production easier. In one exemplary embodiment, the insert can be U-shaped in cross section perpendicular to its longitudinal axis measured in the width direction of the freight container. It can also be made in one piece, in particular made in one piece, for example as a bending component made of a sheet metal plate or a steel plate. In particular, the insert then also represents a central part of the connection node. In particular, further parts of the freight container then end at this insert. The insert can be in one piece. In terms of shape, it can be a channel, in particular a U-shape rotated through 180°, so that the U-opening is oriented downwards.

In one exemplary embodiment, the anti-tip and/or anti-loss device can close the insert from below. The anti-tip and/or anti-loss device can be thicker than the walls of the insert, viewed in a cross section of the freight container in which the width direction is perpendicular to the cross-sectional plane, at least in some areas, in particular completely. This means that the wall thickness of the insert is thinner, in particular thinner at all points, than the wall thickness of components of the anti-tip and/or anti-loss device. As a result, improved impact protection can also be formed at the lower end of the fork receptacle by the more massive anti-tip and/or loss protection device, in particular at the entrance, in particular at the outer end, of the fork receptacle. As a result, a collision of a fork, in particular a fork tip, when inserted into the volume space of the fork receptacle on the lower contour area that delimits the fork receptacle can be better recorded. An undesirable deformation, in particular of the lower region of the fork receptacle, particularly at the entrance or the insertion opening, due to such forces can thereby be better avoided. This applies in particular to an anti-tip bar or a safety bar, in particular the anti-tip and/or anti-loss device. Preferably, a base formed by the anti-tip and/or anti-loss device or a local support bearing formed thereby is also more stable.

In one embodiment, the anti-tip device has an anti-tip bar. This extends with its longitudinal axis in the depth direction. Viewed along this longitudinal axis, it is at its greatest extent. It closes off the fork mount at least in some areas at the bottom.

Generally speaking, the anti-tip bar can also be a safety bar for the anti-loss device. An anti-tip and/or safety bracket can then be formed.

In one exemplary embodiment, the anti-tip and/or safety bracket is a component separate from the section. This allows the individual requirements for material and/or wall thickness and/or shape and geometry and/or manufacturability to be better taken into account.

In one embodiment, the anti-tip and/or safety bracket is made in one piece. In another exemplary embodiment, the bracket is constructed in several parts. The parts can be connected by permanent connections. These connections can be welded connections, for example.

In one embodiment, the anti-tip and/or safety bracket is formed as a bridge. This creates a very simple yet stable component. A bridge tensioned in the depth direction also connects the opposite areas so that they are mechanically stabilized. These opposing areas can be areas, in particular side walls of the insert, to which the bridge is directly attached. But there can also be areas of an outer floor longitudinal beam to which the bridge is directly attached. Depending on the position of this bridge in the width direction, this bridge can also be attached directly to boundary walls, in particular hollow profile parts. These hollow profile parts are in particular separate from the floor longitudinal beam and, in particular, limit the fork mount to the front and rear when viewed in the depth direction. These hollow profile parts are oriented with their longitudinal axes, particularly in the width direction.

In one embodiment, the bridge has bridge bases. In particular, the bridge bases are formed as insert plates. They can also be called adapter plates. This allows the bridge height to be increased in the height direction of the freight container can be individually configured. Furthermore, geometrically very simple parts can be used to build the bridge.

In one exemplary embodiment, the bridge has a bridge arch, in particular a straight one. In particular, the bridge arch is designed as a plate strip, in particular as a flat, rectangular plate strip.

In one embodiment, the bridge arch is arranged, in particular welded, to the bridge base when viewed from below in the height direction of the freight container.

In one exemplary embodiment, the anti-tip and/or safety bracket is offset inwards in the width direction of the freight container at least towards the outer end of the section. This is particularly advantageous. Because then the section can be provided in the width direction outwards with an insertion opening for the fork tines that is open at the bottom and offset in the width direction inwards only then can the anti-tip and / or loss protection device begin.

In one exemplary embodiment, the anti-tip and/or safety bracket is offset inwards in the width direction, in particular starting from the outer end of the fork tine receptacle, at least by the width of the outer floor longitudinal member. In particular, the bracket is then arranged in the width direction without overlapping the outer floor longitudinal member. As a result, the downwardly open section is formed at least over the width of the outer floor longitudinal member.

In one embodiment, the section is formed as an insert separate from the bracket. The insert can be U-shaped in cross section.

In one exemplary embodiment, the anti-tip and/or safety bracket has a width of between 5 cm and 20 cm, in particular between 10 cm and 15 cm, in the width direction of the freight container. In particular, the bracket is arranged at a distance in the width direction from an inner floor longitudinal member of the floor unit, viewed in the width direction. A bracket is formed as only a local bracket in the width direction. As a result, in one exemplary embodiment, such a downward limitation of the fork tine receptacle is formed only at local locations in the width direction along the length of the fork tine receptacle measured in the width direction.

In principle, a fork mount that is open at the bottom is advantageous in terms of accessibility. Furthermore, it can be avoided that objects collect in it and narrow or obstruct the volume space of the fork mount. This is the case with forklift pockets that are significantly different and tubular and are closed at the bottom. The insertion and removal of a fork is therefore always possible in an improved manner. Cleaning the fork holder is also much easier thanks to the concept that is open at the bottom.

In one embodiment, the anti-tip and/or safety bar is larger in the depth direction of the freight container than in the width direction.

In one exemplary embodiment, the section is formed as an insert that is separate from the other components of the freight container. In one exemplary embodiment, the insert extends in the width direction of the freight container to a maximum of the width of the outer floor longitudinal beam. In particular, it is arranged to overlap with the outer floor longitudinal beam in the width direction of the freight container. In particular, the insert is arranged in the width direction completely within the width of the outer floor longitudinal member. Viewed in the width direction, it can also protrude in the direction of another, opposite, further outer floor longitudinal member of the floor unit beyond the outer floor longitudinal member on which it is directly arranged. In particular, the insert is arranged overlapping in the height direction of the freight container, in particular completely within the height of the outer floor longitudinal beam.

In one exemplary embodiment, the fork receptacle has at least one further anti-tip and/or anti-loss device, in particular at a lower end when viewed in the height direction of the freight container. This also limits a tilt angle, in particular around a tilt axis oriented in the depth direction, of the freight container relative to the fork when the fork is inserted into the fork receptacle in a transport position. Accordingly, a captive protection for a fork tine is also achieved, as was explained above for the first tipping protection and/or captivity device. In one exemplary embodiment, the further anti-tip and/or anti-loss device is spaced apart in the width direction of the freight container and is arranged further inwardly offset than the first anti-tip and/or anti-loss device.

In one exemplary embodiment, the further anti-tip and/or anti-loss device is arranged integrated in an inner floor longitudinal member of the floor unit. It is therefore in one piece with the floor longitudinal beam. The inner floor longitudinal beam is in particular arranged parallel to the separate, outer floor longitudinal beam.

In one exemplary embodiment, a further device can be formed which has the further anti-tip device and the further anti-loss device. Here too, the further anti-tip device and the further anti-loss device can be designed as a common device. For example, the anti-tip device is then also the anti-loss device at the same time. Here too, at least some components can be both part of the anti-tip device and at the same time part of the anti-loss device. This means that components can be saved here and others can be used multifunctionally. A compact and weight-saving design can therefore also be achieved here.

In particular, the floor unit has two outer floor longitudinal beams. In particular, the floor unit has at least one inner floor longitudinal beam, in particular two floor longitudinal supports. In particular, the floor unit has two floor cross members. These are connected at the ends to ends of the outer floor longitudinal beams, in particular at lower corner connection nodes of the freight container. A vertical beam of the support frame preferably also ends at these corner connection nodes. The upper frame preferably has upper frame longitudinal beams and upper frame cross beams. The upper frame cross members terminate with ends at ends of the upper frame longitudinal members, particularly at upper corner connection nodes. The vertical supports preferably also end at these.

In one exemplary embodiment, the further anti-tip and/or anti-loss device is formed with a continuous hole in the inner floor longitudinal member, the hole being in particular completely surrounded in cross section. It therefore has a closed cross section.

In one exemplary embodiment, the fork receptacle is limited at least in the area adjacent to an inner side of the outer floor longitudinal member in the width direction by a front limiting part in the depth direction of the freight container and by a rear limiting part arranged at a distance therefrom in the depth direction. These boundary parts are oriented in particular with their longitudinal axes in the width direction of the freight container. This preferably also forms a guide for the fork. This achieves a straight insertion of a fork into the fork receptacle and the most straight-line movement of the fork in the fork receptacle.

In one embodiment, the front limiting part is a hollow profile rod and/or the rear limiting part is a hollow profile rod. Such limiting parts are very stable and resilient. They also serve as reinforcement parts for the freight container. In particular, the boundary parts can be formed as square tubes, at least in some areas. In particular, the floor unit is thereby particularly stiffened, in particular between an outer floor longitudinal member and an adjacent inner floor longitudinal member. In particular, such limiting parts serve as connecting struts between an outer floor longitudinal member and an adjacent inner floor longitudinal member. In particular, viewed in the width direction, they end on the one hand at the outer floor longitudinal beam and on the other hand at the adjacent inner floor longitudinal beam.

In one exemplary embodiment, the two limiting parts extend in the width direction only between the outer floor longitudinal beam and an adjacent inner floor longitudinal beam of the floor unit, which is arranged parallel and spaced apart therefrom.

In one embodiment, the outer floor longitudinal beam is formed from several separate, elongated support parts or longitudinal support parts. Two support parts end at the connecting node. In particular, when viewed in the depth direction, they end on opposite sides of the section. They can be welded there, for example.

In one embodiment, the outer floor longitudinal member is formed in one piece. This means that it is not made up of individual parts, for example welded together. Rather, it is made as one piece. For example, cast or formed as an extruded profile. Such a floor longitudinal beam in particular has at least one coherent, integrally formed ceiling wall. Preferably, such an outer floor longitudinal member has a cutout at the connecting node that is open at the bottom. The section of the fork mount that is separate from the outer floor longitudinal member can be arranged in the cutout. The cutout is completely continuous in the width direction.

In one exemplary embodiment, the clear width of the lower opening of the downwardly open section, measured in the depth direction of the freight container, is between 5 cm and 25 cm, ins especially between 5 cm and 20 cm. In particular, all values in between, especially in steps of one, are to be viewed as disclosed. This makes it possible to provide an insertion opening for a fork, which can then be inserted into the fork receptacle from below simply by lifting it in the height direction. In particular if, before lifting, it is already positioned outside the fork mount in the width direction, overlapping the fork mount.

In one exemplary embodiment, the section has lower bottom wall sections in cross section. These face each other and are arranged without contact. In particular, these bottom wall sections are arranged at an angle to the side walls of the cross section. A distance measured in the depth direction between mutually facing free edges of the bottom wall sections is preferably between 3 cm and less than 15 cm, in particular between 5 cm and 10 cm.

In one exemplary embodiment, the bottom wall sections are each designed to be uninterrupted in the width direction, in particular they are each designed to be uninterrupted over the length of at least the partial section measured in the width direction. In particular, a continuous slot is thereby formed in the width direction. This also improves the accessibility and cleanability of the fork mount, especially from below.

In one embodiment, the fork receptacle extends in the width direction with the bottom wall sections from the outer end to at least one adjacent inner floor longitudinal member of the floor unit.

In one embodiment, the fork receptacle is formed as a tubular part which has an axial (longitudinal axis in the width direction) free cut on its lower jacket wall, in particular an underside, which extends in particular over the entire axial length of the jacket wall.

In one exemplary embodiment, the fork receptacle, viewed in the width direction of the freight container, has first bottom wall sections at a first width point that are spaced apart from one another in cross section. In a second width point that is different from this, the fork receptacle has second bottom wall sections which are arranged separately in the width direction and spaced apart from the bottom wall sections at the first width point.

Bottom wall sections can be spaced apart in cross section at the second width point, so that an open contour is formed in cross section. In particular, mutually facing free edges of the bottom wall sections can be spaced between 5 cm and 15 cm apart when viewed in the depth direction.

In one embodiment, the bottom wall sections at the first width point are connected to the bottom wall sections at the second width point by connecting elements oriented in the width direction, in particular supported against one another. This is advantageous in order to support the bottom wall sections when force is applied and to avoid bending.

In one exemplary embodiment, the fork receptacle has a tube section, in particular with a hollow profile with a closed cross section, and additionally has the outer section in the width direction, which directly connects to the tube section in the width direction to the outside. It is also possible for an underside or a lower jacket wall or a bottom of the pipe section to have an axial free cut, in particular which extends over the entire length of the pipe section. This entire part can be formed in one piece or composed of several parts, in particular the parts can be welded.

In one exemplary embodiment, viewed in the depth direction, a vertically oriented reinforcement beam of the freight container is arranged at the depth point of the connection node. The section and the reinforcement beam in particular are then positioned at this depth point.

In one embodiment, the vertical reinforcement beam sits directly on the section from above.

In one exemplary embodiment, viewed in the height direction of the freight container, a separate intermediate unit is arranged between the section and the vertical reinforcement beam. In particular, the vertical reinforcement beam sits on the intermediate unit from above. This creates a very stiff and resilient structure at the connecting node. This means that the fork receptacle, which in one exemplary embodiment is particularly open towards the bottom, is subject to less stress.

In one exemplary embodiment, the intermediate unit has at least one ceiling wall of the outer floor longitudinal member. Thus, there is between the partial section and the vertical Reinforcement carrier at least this separate ceiling wall is arranged. This creates a stable support platform for the reinforcement beam. The section can then be configured independently. This means that the weight of the vertical support does not act directly on the section. The reinforcement beam can sit directly on the ceiling wall from above.

In one exemplary embodiment, the intermediate unit has an additional plate or a separate additional block that is separate from the outer floor longitudinal member and the section and the separate reinforcement member. This further increases the stability of the connecting node. In particular, this separate component allows its shape and material as well as the connection to the other components to be designed very specifically.

The intermediate unit can also be present in an embodiment in which the outer floor longitudinal member has at least one continuous ceiling wall. The intermediate unit can then sit directly on this ceiling wall from above. In particular, if the outer floor longitudinal member is formed from separate sections, between which a section is arranged, in particular as an insert, the intermediate unit can also sit directly on the section.

In one exemplary embodiment, the intermediate unit is formed as a solid solid component. It is therefore designed to be void-free. This means that the mechanical stability is particularly high. It then also serves as a central and deformation-free connecting body to the connecting node.

In one exemplary embodiment, the intermediate unit is arranged to overlap with the side wall of the freight container when viewed in the height direction of the freight container. This allows a connection to be formed with the side wall. In particular, this further increases the stability and stiffening, especially at the connecting node. It can be provided that the intermediate unit is arranged on an outside and/or on an inside of the side wall, in particular rests directly against it. It can be provided that in one embodiment the side wall has a free cut into which the intermediate unit is arranged to be immersed. Such a nested arrangement improves stability. In particular, the intermediate unit is welded to the separate side wall.

In one embodiment, at least one side wall is uneven on its outside and/or on its inside. It can have several unevenness valleys, so that a fanned contour is formed in a vertical section (plane is spanned by the height direction and the width direction). This increases the inherent rigidity of the side wall. At least in an unevenness valley, in particular the lower unevenness valley in the height direction, a stiffening part, in particular solid or void-free, is arranged, in particular separate from the side wall. This means that it is arranged to save space and further increases the rigidity of the side wall, particularly in the area above the connecting node. In particular, the stiffening part is arranged in the depth direction of the freight container at the depth point at which the connection node is arranged. In particular, when viewed in the height direction, the side wall is fanned out by the unevenness valleys. The unevenness valleys are then compartment chambers.

In one exemplary embodiment, the vertical reinforcement beam sits from above, in particular directly, on the stiffening part, which is in particular separate from it. In particular, the stiffening part sits from above, in particular directly, on the separate section. The hollow-free stiffening part can be part of the intermediate unit. As a result, the reinforcement beam is decoupled and spaced from the section. With such a construction, lateral forces that act on the side wall and the reinforcement beam and the connecting node during loading by the loading device, for example a forklift of a forklift, can be better absorbed.

In one exemplary embodiment, the vertical reinforcement beam has a channel-like profile part which is arranged on the separate side wall.

In one exemplary embodiment, the profile part has side walls which, at least in some areas, have unevenly shaped edge regions that are complementary to the unevenness regions of the side wall. The uneven edge regions engage in the unevenness regions when the profile part is arranged on the side wall, so that when viewed in the width direction of the freight container, the side wall of the freight container and the side walls or edge regions of the profile part overlap. Such a toothed arrangement improves the stable connection. Especially in the height direction, the edge areas can be supported on the sloping uneven walls.

In one exemplary embodiment, a vertical support can be formed at least in some areas, in particular completely, as a solid support. He In one exemplary embodiment, it can be formed from individual, in particular separate, void-free and therefore solid stiffening wedges. These can be arranged in all or in some compartment chambers or unevenness valleys.

In the figures, identical or functionally identical elements are given the same reference numbers.

In 1 an exemplary embodiment of a freight container 1 is shown in a perspective view. The freight container 1 is designed in particular as a roll-off container. It is particularly advantageous if the freight container 1 is a standardized container in terms of size, which can be transported as a sea freight container, for example on a container ship, but on the other hand also in particular on a rail vehicle, such as a freight train, as well as on a truck can be transported. This makes it possible with such a freight container 1 to be able to transport goods by sea, by rail, and by land.

The freight container 1 can be intended to hold bulk goods. However, it is particularly advantageous if the freight container 1 is intended to hold scrap. This can include electronic devices as well as other scrap metal parts.

The freight container 1 has a skeletal support frame 2. This is in 1 shown. The freight container 1 has a height that is measured in the height direction (y direction). It has a width that is dimensioned in the width direction (x direction). It has a depth that is measured in the depth direction (z direction). Viewed in the height direction, this support frame 2 has a floor unit 3 in the lower area. In the exemplary embodiment, the floor unit 3 has several floor side members. In the exemplary embodiment, a first, outer, floor longitudinal member 4 and a second, outer floor longitudinal member 5 are provided. The longitudinal axes L ( 4 ) of these outer floor longitudinal beams 4 and 5 are oriented in the depth direction. They are arranged at a distance from one another and run parallel to one another. In addition, the floor unit 3 in the exemplary embodiment has at least one inner floor longitudinal member 6. In the exemplary embodiment, two separate, inner floor longitudinal beams 6 and 7 are provided. These are oriented with their longitudinal axes in the depth direction. They are arranged parallel and spaced apart from each other. They are offset inwards in the width direction compared to the outer floor longitudinal beams 4, 5. The inner floor longitudinal beams 6, 7 are arranged at a distance from the outer floor longitudinal beams 4, 5 in the width direction. In the exemplary embodiment, the floor unit 3 therefore preferably has four floor longitudinal beams, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

In addition, in one exemplary embodiment, the base unit 3 can also have several struts 8 oriented in the width direction. For the sake of clarity, the following are shown in 1 only some of these struts 8 are provided with the corresponding reference number.

The support frame 2 also has corner supports 9, 10, 11 and 12 oriented in the height direction. These corner supports 9 to 12 are preferably arranged at corner areas of the base unit 3.

In addition, the support frame 2 has upper supports 13, 14, 15 and 16 in one exemplary embodiment. In one exemplary embodiment, these upper supports 13 to 16 form an upper frame. In one exemplary embodiment, this can limit or frame a loading opening 17 of the freight container 1. Through the loading opening 17, freight can be introduced into the interior 18 of the freight container 1 and removed again. As can be seen, these upper supports 13 to 16 are connected to the corner supports 9 to 12 at the upper ends of the corner supports 9 to 12 in one exemplary embodiment.

In the front area, the freight container 1 can have a front receptacle 19. The receptacle 19 is intended in particular so that a receiving bracket can be arranged on it. The receiving bracket or the receiving hook is intended so that the freight container 1 can be unloaded or loaded from a truck, for example. With a corresponding The end engagement hook can then be engaged in this roll-off bracket or roll-off hook and the freight container 1 can be loaded or pulled up onto the truck or unloaded or unrolled accordingly.

In 2 the freight container 1 is shown in a corresponding perspective view, as in 1 . In 2 is the one too 1 explained component structure shown. In addition, side walls 20, 21, 22 and 23 are also shown. These side walls 20 to 23 are arranged on the support frame 2. They limit the interior 18 to the side, to the front and to the back. In addition, a bottom wall 24 is also shown. This limits the interior 18 at the bottom.

In one exemplary embodiment, a longitudinal side wall or the side wall 20 and/or 22 can be designed to be uneven. It can be shaped like a fan. The relevant fan slats can extend in the horizontal direction and in the context in the depth direction. The stability of these side walls 20 and 22 is increased by such a multiple, in particular multiple V-like, shape.

Like beyond that in 2 As shown, the freight container 1 has additional reinforcement beams that are oriented vertically and thus in the height direction. In 2 In this context, two vertical reinforcement beams 25 and 26 are shown on a long side of the freight container 1. Correspondingly, in the exemplary embodiment, corresponding reinforcement supports are also arranged on the opposite long side. As can be seen in the exemplary embodiment, these vertical reinforcement beams 25 and 26 are arranged on an outside of the side wall 22. Accordingly, two further vertical reinforcement beams are arranged on the outside of the side wall 20.

These vertical reinforcement supports 25, 26 are preferably arranged only on this outside 27 and only on the outside of the further side wall 20. In the exemplary embodiment, no further vertical reinforcing supports are arranged on the respective inner sides of these side walls 20 and 22 facing the interior 18. However, it is also possible for additional vertical hollow profiles to be arranged on the inside.

In one exemplary embodiment, trough-shaped components are provided by the vertical reinforcement supports 25 and 26. Viewed in a cross section, these channel-shaped or U-shaped vertical hollow profiles of the reinforcement beams 25 and 26 are formed open towards the outside 27. The reinforcement beams 25, 26 are closed in cross section through the outside 27. Therefore, in one exemplary embodiment, the vertical reinforcing beams 25 and 26 and the side wall 22 directly adjacent to them result in a reinforcing beam structure 28 and 29 that is completely closed in the horizontal cross section. The same is also formed in the preferably present vertical reinforcing beams on the further side wall 20.

Preferably, these vertical reinforcing beams 25 and 26 are separate components from the side wall 22. They are attached to the outside 27, in particular attached by a non-destructively inseparable connection. For example, they can be attached to it by a welded connection.

In one exemplary embodiment, the freight container 1 has a fork receptacle 30 ( 1 ) on. This is intended to hold a fork of a loading device. Such a loading device is designed for loading the freight container 1. A loading device can be, for example, a vehicle. It could be a forklift, for example. It is also possible that the loading device is a crane. For example, such a system can be arranged at a marshalling yard or a freight yard. However, it can also be located in a port. Such a fork receptacle 30 is configured such that a fork, for example a forklift fork, can be inserted into this fork receptacle 30 to at least 50 percent, in particular at least 70 percent, in particular at least 80 percent of its length.

The fork receptacle 30 is in particular part of the base unit 3. The fork receptacle 30 is oriented with its longitudinal axis A in the width direction. The fork receptacle 30 is open to the side when viewed in the width direction. This means that a fork can be inserted from the side into this fork receptacle 30 in this width direction. This fork receptacle 30 has a laterally outer end 31 in this width direction. At this laterally outer end 31, the fork receptacle 30 is open to the side, so that a fork can be inserted into this fork receptacle 30 through the laterally outer end 31 in the width direction. In the exemplary embodiment, this freight container 1 has a further fork receptacle 32. This is designed to be open in the width direction towards the same side as the fork tine receptacle 30. This makes it possible for a loading device with two parallel fork tines coming from this one side to be loaded into one of the fork tine receptacles 30 at the same time and 32 can be introduced. In one exemplary embodiment, in addition to or instead of this, it can be provided that the freight container 1 has further fork receptacles 33 and 34. These are open to the opposite side when viewed in the width direction. This means that a loading device can also be inserted from the opposite side with its forks in the width direction into these additional fork receptacles 33 and 34. These additional fork receptacles 33 and 34 are also part of the base unit 3.

The fork receptacle 30 has a section 35. This section in particular has the outer end 31. This section 35 is connected in particular at a connection node 36, which is a floor-side connection node of the support frame 2, to an outer floor longitudinal beam 4 in the width direction. In one exemplary embodiment, the same applies to a corresponding section of the fork receptacle 32. The same can also be provided for a section of the further fork receptacles 33 and 34. There, too, connection nodes on the floor side can be provided, at which these respective sections are connected to the outer floor longitudinal beams 4, on the other hand 5.

In one embodiment, it is provided that the fork receptacle 30 is open downwards at least along this section 35 extending in the width direction, which begins at this outer end 31 and is dimensioned in the width direction, when viewed in the height direction of the freight container 1. This fork receptacle 30 therefore has at least one section 35 which, viewed locally in the width direction, is arranged here at the outer end and which is open towards the bottom. In particular, in one embodiment, this opening is formed with a clear width measured in the depth direction of the freight container 1, which is larger than the width of a fork. Such a fork receptacle 30 also has the significant advantage that a fork only has to be positioned relatively precisely in the depth direction to the fork receptacle during the coupling process, but can be positioned with a certain inaccuracy in the height direction. Because the fork tine can then be positioned further downwards and can still be inserted into a volume space, in particular a receiving space 30a, of this fork tine receptacle in the width direction if it is arranged at least in the depth direction at the same depth as the outer end 31. This simplifies a coupling process for a fork and can also be carried out more quickly in this context. In particular, damage to the outer end when threading a fork can be better avoided or reduced.

Another advantage of a fork receptacle 30 that is generally open downwards, regardless of the width of the opening, can also be seen in the fact that accessibility to the fork receptacle 30 is improved. The collection of objects and/or liquids, such as rainwater or the like, can then be better avoided, as it can immediately drain downwards or fall out. Clogging of a fork mount, as is the case with completely tubular forklift pockets, can then be avoided here. Accessibility to cleaning or maintenance work is then significantly improved. It is also improved to prevent objects from becoming trapped in such closed forklift pockets and then being difficult to remove. The concept of the fork receptacle 30 presented here also completely avoids the presence of animals in such completely closed forklift pockets.

In one embodiment, the fork receptacle 30 is designed with at least one anti-tip device, in particular at a lower end when viewed in the height direction. Such a tilt protection device is intended to limit a tilt angle, in particular around a tilt axis oriented in the depth direction, of the freight container 1 relative to a fork when this fork is inserted into the fork receptacle in a transport position. This is the case when the fork tine is arranged to overlap with this anti-tip device in the width direction. This tipping protection device can then prevent the freight container 1 from tipping over from a fork. Because even if even a slight tendency to tip over occurs around a tilt axis oriented in the depth direction, the threaded fork tine hits the tip protection device arranged underneath and further tipping is thereby already blocked or prevented. The above-mentioned design of the fork receptacle 30 not only makes threading easier, but also creates a very specific local possibility of coupling a highly advantageous anti-tip device in this area.

In particular, the fork tine receptacle 30 is designed with a captive device for the fork tine. In particular there is one Anti-tip and/or anti-loss device is formed.

In one exemplary embodiment, said section 35 is formed as a channel that is open at the bottom. In a cross section of this section, which is spanned by the depth direction and the height direction, this section can have an inverted U-shape. It can be provided that the side walls of this channel, which is open at the bottom, are straight. They can therefore be oriented in the cross-section in the height direction. It can be provided that the clear width of this lower opening 30b ( 3 ) of the section 35 is at least 80%, in particular between 80% and 130%, of the length of the receiving space 30a formed above it, measured in the depth direction, and/or in particular the length of a ceiling wall of this section 35, measured in the depth direction.

In this context is in 3 an embodiment of a freight container 1 shown. This is shown in perspective with a view of the floor unit 3 from below. As can be seen there, in this exemplary embodiment the section 35 is U-shaped in the cross section explained. It can be provided that the section is formed as a separate insert 37.

In one embodiment, as in 3 is shown, the outer floor longitudinal member 4 can be formed from several separate parts. In the exemplary embodiment, for example, three separate elongated longitudinal beam sections or elongated longitudinal beam parts 4a, 4b and 4c can be provided here. These are arranged in series with each other. The fork receptacles 30 and 32 are arranged in between. In the present exemplary embodiment, the fork tine receptacles 30 and 32 thus form an interruption between the separate longitudinal support parts 4a, 4b and 4c.

In the exemplary embodiment, such a partial section 35 therefore also forms a connecting structure, in particular a connecting bridge, to the longitudinal support parts 4a and 4b adjacent to it in the depth direction. The same is then also provided in the exemplary embodiment in the corresponding section of the fork receptacle 32. In 3 It can also be seen in detail that this fork receptacle 30 is open downwards in the height direction, in particular at least over the section 35.

In the exemplary embodiment, the opening 30b is an insertion opening for a fork. This can therefore be lifted simply and purely by a vertical movement and inserted into the receiving space 30b if it is positioned in a rough positioning under the section 35.

As in 3 can also be seen, the vertical reinforcement support 25 in this exemplary embodiment sits directly from above on the fork receptacle 30, in particular the section 35, in particular the insert 37. In particular, a connection, in particular a welded connection, can be provided here.

In an advantageous exemplary embodiment, the fork tine receptacle 30 is designed to be open downwards starting from its laterally outer end 31 viewed in the width direction over at least the width of the outer base longitudinal member 4. In the exemplary embodiment, this also means in particular that an anti-tip device 38, shown here as an example and preferably present, is arranged offset inwards when viewed in the width direction. In particular, it is provided that this anti-tip device 38 is shifted inwards in the width direction so far that it is designed to have no overlap in the width direction, in particular with the adjacent outer floor longitudinal beam 4.

As in the exemplary embodiment in 3 can also be seen, the fork tine receptacle 30, viewed in the width direction, is designed to be open at the bottom, at least up to the adjacent inner floor longitudinal member 6, except for the anti-tip and / or anti-loss device 38. In one exemplary embodiment it can be provided that the inner floor longitudinal member 6 has an opening 39. This can be a continuous breakthrough or a hole. In one exemplary embodiment, it is therefore provided that the fork receptacle 30 is also dimensioned through this inner floor longitudinal member 6. This opening 39 can also be a completely surrounded hole in this floor longitudinal beam 6. In such an exemplary embodiment, it is then also achieved that a further anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 41 is formed by a downwardly formed support region 40 of this inner floor longitudinal beam 6, through which region this opening or this hole 39 is delimited downwards is formed. This anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 41 is thus integrated into the inner floor longitudinal beam 6.

In one exemplary embodiment, the first anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38 is made of components that are separate from the floor longitudinal beam 4 and in particular also from the fork tine receptacle 30, in particular the section 35 built up. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38 has a anti-tip and/or safety bracket 42. The anti-tip and/or safety bracket 42 is in particular a component separate from the section 35. The section 35 can, in an exemplary embodiment, as shown in 3 shown to be a separate insert. In particular, this insert can have an allowance in the width direction which corresponds to the width of the outer floor longitudinal member 4. However, it is also possible that this section 35 is wider when viewed in the width direction. For example, it can also extend to the next inner floor longitudinal member 7, in particular welded to it.

As already mentioned, the section 35 has a top wall 43 and side walls 44 and 45.

In particular, in the exemplary embodiment, this insert represents a central part, in particular at the connection node 36, at which, in the exemplary embodiment, several separate parts end or are directly connected to it.

In one embodiment, the anti-tip and/or safety bracket 42 is constructed in several parts. This is in the exemplary embodiment in 3 shown. The anti-tip and/or safety bracket 42 is formed in particular as a bridge 46 in one exemplary embodiment. In one exemplary embodiment, the bridge 46 can have bridge bases 47 and 48. These bridge bases 47 and 48 can be insert plates in one exemplary embodiment. They can be adapter plates. Through these bridge bases 47 and 48, a bridge arch 49 of this bridge 46 is moved downwards when viewed in the height direction. In one exemplary embodiment, the bridge arch 49 can be a, in particular flat, plate strip.

In the exemplary embodiment, the bridge arch 49 is arranged on the bridge bases 47 and 48 when viewed from below in the height direction of the freight container 1. It may be welded to it.

The anti-tip and/or safety bracket 42 is arranged offset inwards at least to the outer end 31 of the section 35 when viewed in the width direction of the freight container 1. In particular, when viewed in the width direction, this bridge 46 is arranged without overlapping with the outer floor longitudinal beam 4 and/or without overlapping with the section 35. It is possible that when viewed in the width direction, the anti-tip and/or safety bracket 42 is arranged directly adjacent to the inner end of the outer floor longitudinal member 4 in the width direction.

As can also be seen here, the section 35 is formed as an insert separate from the anti-tip and/or safety bracket 42. Preferably, the anti-tip and/or safety bracket 42 has a width b (which is measured in the width direction of the freight container). 4 ), which is between 5 cm and 20 cm, in particular between 10 cm and 15 cm. In particular, this anti-tip and/or securing bracket 42, with its width b measured in the width direction, does not extend to the adjacent inner floor longitudinal member 6. In particular, the width of the anti-tip and/or securing bracket 42 is many times smaller than in the width direction measured distance between the outer floor longitudinal beam 4 and an inner floor longitudinal beam 6 adjacent in the width direction. This makes it particularly advantageous to have a relatively narrow and, in relation to the remaining components of the freight container 1, compact and small as well as filigree anti-tip and/or or safety bracket 42 is formed.

This also provides a very compact and space-saving and yet highly functional first anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38. Although this anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38 is present, it is particularly advantageous in terms of the space concept and the accessibility to other components in the area of the floor unit 3. As also in the exemplary embodiments in 3 and when viewing the freight container 1 from below 4 can be seen, the anti-tip and/or safety bracket 42 is larger in the depth direction of the freight container 1 than in the width direction. Furthermore, in 3 and 4 It can also be seen that the partial section 35, which is formed as a preferably separate insert 37, only extends over the width of the outer floor longitudinal member 4 when viewed in the width direction. In particular, this is already the case 3 and 4 was explained, the first anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38 is arranged at a distance in the width direction from the further anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 41.

In one exemplary embodiment it is provided that the fork tine receptacle 30 is adjacent, at least in the area, to an inner side 50 in the width direction ( 4 ) of the outer floor longitudinal member 4 is limited by a front limiting part 51 in the depth direction of the freight container 1 and a rear limiting part 52 arranged at a distance therefrom. These two spaced-apart and in particular mutually parallel limiting parts 51 and 52 are oriented with their longitudinal axes in the width direction. In one exemplary embodiment, these limiting parts 51 and 52 are hollow profiles. They can be designed as hollow profile rods, for example square tubes be. It is advantageous, as is also the case in 3 and 4 it is shown that these limiting parts 51 and 52 extend completely over the clear width between an outer floor longitudinal beam 4 and an inner floor longitudinal beam 6 arranged adjacent thereto in the width direction. In particular, they open directly onto these mentioned floor longitudinal beams 4 and 6. In particular, they can each be welded to the ends. In particular, it can be provided that these limiting parts 51 and 52 only extend between an outer floor longitudinal member 4 and an inner floor longitudinal member 6 arranged adjacent thereto. Preferably, these limiting parts 51 and 52 are therefore not formed continuously from an outer floor longitudinal member 4 to an opposite floor longitudinal member 5. They are therefore only arranged locally between two adjacent floor longitudinal beams 4 and 6 and only in the area of a fork receptacle 30.

In the 3 and 4 The aspects explained in the area of one fork receptacle 30 also apply in particular in a corresponding manner and thus also in a corresponding embodiment in the area of the other fork receptacles 32, 33 and 34. This is also corresponding in 3 and 4 shown in an exemplary embodiment.

As well as in 3 and 4 can be seen, two longitudinal support parts 4a and 4b end at the mentioned bottom-side connection node 36. In particular, they end at the mentioned section 35. The same is then also the case in the exemplary embodiment for the longitudinal support parts 4b and 4c in the area of the further bottom-side connection node 53, as shown in 3 and 4 is identified, is provided. The same applies to the arrangement on the opposite fork receptacles 33 and 34, whereby connecting nodes on the bottom side are also formed here.

Through the exemplary embodiments explained here, only local and very limited and delicate anti-tip and/or anti-loss devices 38 and/or 41 can be provided particularly advantageously.

The concept enables a particularly simple and quick threading of a fork into a fork receptacle 30, but also provides a highly efficient tipping protection concept and/or loss protection concept. In addition, particularly easy and extensive access from the front as well as from below to the respective areas of the fork receptacle 30, which is open at the bottom, is made possible. Both the cleaning and the assembly and maintenance of partial areas in this area of a fork mount 30 are then made possible particularly advantageously. It is also particularly advantageous to prevent the accumulation of dirt, liquid and bulky objects in a fork receptacle 30.

In these explained exemplary embodiments, the clear width of a lower opening 30b of the fork receptacle 30, measured in the depth direction, can be the extent or essentially the extent of the fork receptacle 30 at the upper end in the height direction, in particular on a ceiling wall of the fork receptacle 30. has.

It is also possible that this clear width at the downwardly open opening 30b of this fork tine receptacle 30 is smaller, at least in section 35, than a clear width measured in the depth direction in an upper region in the height direction, in particular the receiving space 30a, of these fork tines -Recording 30. This also results in a correspondingly advantageous concept. Even then, a relatively simple lateral threading of a fork in the width direction is still possible, and on the other hand, accessibility from below is still very extensive. The removal or draining of objects and media from the fork receptacle 30 through this open structure formed at the bottom is then still very advantageously possible.

In 5 is shown in an enlarged view of the freight container 1 in the area of the fork receptacle 30.

In another exemplary embodiment, the anti-tip and/or safety bracket 42 can also be designed differently than the exemplary embodiment explained so far. Instead of the bridge base 48, 47 and the bridge arch 49, for example, a one-piece, U-like connecting clasp, for example formed from a curved plate strip, can be provided. This can then, for example, be arranged directly on opposite side walls 51a and 52a of the preferably present boundary parts 51 and 52, for example welded on.

It is also possible that, in another exemplary embodiment, the inner floor longitudinal beam 6 is not designed in one piece in its longitudinal extent, but is also constructed, for example, from several separate longitudinal beam parts. In particular, it can then also be interrupted in the area of the fork receptacle 30. For example An insert 37 can then also be provided at this point, as is realized by the section 35. Likewise, an anti-tip device can then also be provided at this local location, which corresponds to the anti-tip device 38, for example.

It is also possible for the anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38 to be integrated into the limiting parts 51 and 52. In this context, in one exemplary embodiment, the construction between the coupling device 38 and the limiting parts 51 and 52 can be realized as a continuous corresponding hollow chamber profile, which is then designed as a corresponding overall insert, in particular a U-shaped overall insert.

In another exemplary embodiment, the anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38 can also be arranged further inwards when viewed in the width direction, in particular towards the inner floor longitudinal beam 6.

In another exemplary embodiment, it can also be provided that the insert, which has the section 35, has a greater width than the outer floor longitudinal member 4. In such an exemplary embodiment, such an insert can then extend, for example, to the inner floor Longitudinal beams 6 extend. This can then be a U-shaped insert over its entire length measured in the width direction, which is open at the bottom. In particular, however, it is then also provided here that the anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38 is offset inwards relative to the outer end 31, in particular over at least the width of the floor longitudinal beam 4, and is therefore arranged without overlapping with the section 35. This then remains completely open and exposed at the bottom.

In another exemplary embodiment, it is also possible that, in contrast to the exemplary embodiments explained so far, an outer floor longitudinal beam 4 and / or 5 is not constructed from several separate longitudinal beam parts 4a, 4b and 4c, but is formed in one piece along its longitudinal axis. It can then be provided that at those points in the depth direction where the fork tine receptacles, for example the fork tine receptacles 30 and 32, are formed, downwardly open cutouts are formed in these one-piece outer base longitudinal members 4. In such an embodiment, a fork receptacle 30 is then limited at the top by the outer base longitudinal member 4 itself. In this context, an inner wall cladding or an insert can then also be inserted into this free cut of the outer floor longitudinal member 4, 5 designed as a hollow support, which closes the relevant hollow profile in the free cut or in the cutout. For example, this can be the case in the exemplary embodiment in 3 and 4 This may be the case if the insert 37, which characterizes the section 35, is not continuous upwards, but is then lower in the height direction and the particularly hollow profile of the one-piece outer floor longitudinal member 4 upwards and to the front and to the rear closed.

In such an exemplary embodiment, in which all other exemplary embodiments explained so far can be implemented individually or in total, it is then advantageous if the vertical reinforcing beam 25 sits on the floor longitudinal beam 4, in particular sits directly on it. This vertical reinforcement support 25 no longer sits directly on the fork receptacle 30, as in the exemplary embodiments in 3 and 4 is shown, but is spaced upwards, in particular through the narrower section of the outer bottom longitudinal member 4 to this fork tine receptacle 30. In particular, at least one ceiling wall 4d ( 10 ) of the floor longitudinal support 4 arranged in between.

In a further exemplary embodiment, regardless of the previous explanations and the various exemplary embodiments so far, it can also be provided that the vertical reinforcement beam 25 is not completely hollow when viewed over its entire height, but is implemented as a solid component at least in some areas. In such an exemplary embodiment, it can be particularly advantageously provided that a solid part 54 ( 3 ) is arranged. This is in 3 only indicated with the reference number to also include this exemplary embodiment 3 to symbolize. This solid part 54, which is therefore designed to be void-free, then connects directly to the fork receptacle 30 from above and sits directly on it. In the other exemplary embodiment described, in which the outer floor longitudinal beam 4 is continuous in one piece, this solid part 54 can then sit directly from above on the outer floor longitudinal beam 4, in particular in the depth direction at the point below and then spaced from it Fork receptacle 30 is formed.

In one exemplary embodiment, in the connection between the section 35 and/or between the continuous, one-piece outer longitudinal floor member 4 and a verti cal reinforcement beam 25 an intermediate unit 55 (in 3 also indicated symbolically for an exemplary embodiment). In one exemplary embodiment, the intermediate unit 55 can be designed separately from the vertical reinforcement beam 25. In such an embodiment, the vertical reinforcement beam 55 is then shorter when viewed in the height direction. It then ends at this separate intermediate unit 55. Viewed in the height direction, this separate intermediate unit 55 is then arranged between the vertical reinforcement beam 25 and the section 35. In the other exemplary embodiment, this separate intermediate unit 55 can then be arranged between the vertical reinforcement beam 55 that follows upwards and the narrow area directly underneath, in particular at least the ceiling wall 4d, of the one-piece continuous outer longitudinal floor beam 4. In particular, the vertical reinforcement beam 25 then sits directly on this separate intermediate unit 55 from above. This separate intermediate unit 55 can sit directly on the section 25 or directly on the outer floor longitudinal member 4, depending on the exemplary embodiment, from above. The separate intermediate unit 55 is designed as a solid unit. It is therefore particularly designed to be void-free. This creates local stiffening. An increase in stability can thus be achieved, especially at the reinforcement node 36. Forces acting, for example when threading a fork and/or when lifting the freight container 1 with the loading device, can then be better absorbed at this point. Undesirable deformations due to tension and/or leverage forces or the like can then be better absorbed and diverted locally at this point.

In such an exemplary embodiment, the intermediate unit 55 can also have a ceiling wall 4d of the outer floor longitudinal member 4. The intermediate unit 55 can also be an additional plate and an additional block separate from the outer floor longitudinal beam 4 and from the section 35 and from the separate reinforcement beam 25. This intermediate unit 55 can be formed as a solid solid component. In an advantageous exemplary embodiment, this intermediate unit 55 can be arranged overlapping the side wall 22 when viewed in the height direction of the freight container 1. In this context, it is possible for the intermediate unit 55 to be formed both on the outside 27 and on an inside of this side wall 22. However, it is also possible for the intermediate unit 55 to be formed only on the outside 27 or only on the inside of the side wall 22.

In this context, especially in an advantageous exemplary embodiment in which the outside 27 has a fanned structure shown, it can be provided that the intermediate unit 55 has at least one compartment chamber 56 ( 3 ), which represents a valley of unevenness, at least partially fills it. As a result, such a solid component is also designed to be recessed to a certain extent in such a compartment chamber 56. The same can be provided both on the outside 27 and on a particularly fanned inside of the side wall 22. In particular, these compartment chambers 56 form examples of unevenness valleys if such an outside 27 is uneven and/or an inside of the side wall 22 is uneven. In one exemplary embodiment, such an intermediate unit 55 has a void-free stiffening part. As explained, this can be arranged in such a compartment chamber 56 or in an unevenness valley of a side wall 22. In particular, when viewed in the depth direction, this solid component is arranged at a point at which a fork receptacle 30 is formed. Thus, such a solid component is arranged at this deep point when viewed in the depth direction and above and adjacent to it when viewed in the height direction, so that in particular a bottom-side connecting node 36 is also stiffened.

In 6 In one exemplary embodiment, an arrangement of the anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38 is shown, which is offset even further inwards than that shown in the previous exemplary embodiment. It is therefore arranged at a distance from the outer floor longitudinal beam 4 in the width direction. Otherwise, in one exemplary embodiment it can be used in accordance with the explanations 1 until 5 be designed and have the appropriate bridge design.

In 7 an exemplary embodiment of a freight container 1 is partially shown. This is shown here in perspective in a horizontal section. The cutting plane is in the xz plane. It can be seen that the vertical reinforcement beam 25 is constructed in several parts here. It has a channel-shaped hollow profile 58. This is only arranged here on the outside 27 of the side wall 22. The vertical reinforcing beam 25 is thus formed by this hollow profile 58 and the portion of the side wall 22, so that in this horizontal section it is formed as a closed reinforcing beam. In cross section, a completely bordered body is formed, which represents the hollow profile structure. In particular, this applies over the entire height of the reinforcement support 25. Here too, the further reinforcement supports 26 and 59 and 60 that are preferably present are preferably designed accordingly.

In relation to a fanned side wall 22, in an advantageous exemplary embodiment, the hollow profile 58 is as shown in 12 educated.

In 12 In this context, a partial area of an exemplary embodiment of such a hollow profile 58 is shown in a perspective view. The U-like shape has a top wall 61 and adjoining side walls 62 and 63. As can be seen, the side walls 62 and 63 are shaped like a sawtooth. This shape is in particular complementary to the shape of the outside 27 of a particularly fanned side wall 22. In this context, it is also particularly advantageous that an edge contour 62a and 63a can be arranged to fit precisely against the uneven outside 27, in particular in the compartment chambers 56 . By such an arrangement, also overlapping in the width direction, between the side walls 62 and 63 with the unevenness valleys of the outside 27, a toothed arrangement can also be achieved. This also increases the stiffening and, in particular, forces that occur can be better absorbed. Especially in the height direction, corresponding forces can be absorbed in an improved manner on the one hand on the bottom stiffening node 36 and/or on the other hand on the vertical reinforcement beam 25 itself.

In 8th A further exemplary embodiment of a freight container 1 is shown in a partial perspective view in the area of a fork receptacle 30. For the sake of clarity, only the base unit 3 is shown here. In this exemplary embodiment, the fork receptacle 30 can be designed differently than the previous exemplary embodiments. In this context, a section 35, which has the outer end 31, can again be designed to be open towards the bottom. In contrast to the previous exemplary embodiments, however, it is provided here that the cross-sectional shape of this section 35 is not strictly U-shaped, but is C-shaped. This means that the downwardly open design in the lower region is narrower than a clear width of the section 35 measured in the depth direction when viewed upwards in the height direction. Preferably, however, a corresponding clear width d1 of the opening 30b, measured in the depth direction, is smaller than a width of a fork, measured in the depth direction, which is intended for insertion into the fork receptacle 30. This clear width d1 is preferably smaller than 15 cm, in particular between 5 cm and 15 cm. The clear width d1 is in particular smaller than a clear width of the receiving space 30a formed above it, measured in the depth direction.

In one embodiment it can be provided that additional stiffening struts 64 and 65 are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, these stiffening struts 64 to 65 can extend with their longitudinal axes in the width direction. They can preferably extend between free ends 66 and 67 of the cantilevered C-legs oriented in the depth direction up to a preferably existing floor longitudinal beam 6. In one example, these legs can be arranged at the end 31 when viewed in the width direction. However, they can also be offset further inwards, in particular so that a partial section 35 is formed here too. The legs with the ends 66, 67 can be rod-shaped or bar-shaped.

In particular, these stiffening struts 64 and 65 are welded to the components mentioned. They can be separate components from the boundary parts 51 and 52, if these are preferably present, and in particular if necessary also spaced apart. The stiffening struts 64 and 65 can be hollow profiles. However, they can also be solid components, such as rods or the like.

In one exemplary embodiment, these stiffening struts 64 and 65 and/or the legs with the ends 66, 67 can be used to form components for an exemplary embodiment of an anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38. In particular, the distance d2 between these stiffening struts 64 and 65, measured in the depth direction, is smaller than a width of a fork of a loading device measured in this depth direction. In particular, this distance d2 is preferably less than 15 cm, in particular between 5 cm and 10 cm.

In one exemplary embodiment, it can also be provided that a local bridge arch is formed which is oriented in the depth direction (z direction) and extends between the stiffening struts 64 and 65. For example, this may be a plate as illustrated by component 49 in examples.

In 9 A further exemplary embodiment of a freight container 1 is shown in a schematic perspective view in the partial area of the fork receptacle 30. In this context, it is also possible for the fork receptacle 30 to have a pipe section 68. This pipe section 68 extends with its longitudinal axis in the width direction. This pipe section 68 is designed in a cross section in one exemplary embodiment as a closed hollow profile. In particular, this fork receptacle 30 also has the width in one exemplary embodiment towards the outer section 35, which directly connects to the outside of the pipe section 68 when viewed in the width direction. In particular, this section 35 can be formed in one piece with the pipe section 68. It is also possible for the section 35 to be separate from the pipe section 68 and for these two parts to be connected to one another, for example, by a corresponding connection, in particular an inseparable connection such as a welded connection. In particular, it can be provided that the pipe section 68 extends to a preferably existing inner, floor longitudinal member 6. In particular, the pipe section 68 can be welded to this inner floor longitudinal member 6, which is adjacent to the outer floor longitudinal member 4.

In another exemplary embodiment, it is also possible for a lower wall 68a, in particular a bottom wall, of this pipe section 68, viewed in the height direction, to have a slot in the width direction of the freight container 1. This can be designed to be uninterrupted and continuous over the entire length of the pipe section 68 measured in the width direction. Such a slot 68b is in 8th indicated by the dashed lines.

This then forms bottom wall sections 68c and 68d. In one exemplary embodiment, these bottom wall sections 68c and 68d can be designed to be uninterrupted when viewed in the width direction. Such a pipe section 68, in particular the wall 68a and/or the bottom wall sections 68c, 68d, also forms an exemplary embodiment of components for a tipping protection and/or loss protection device 38.

It is also possible that the height of the section 35 measured in the height direction is different from the height of the pipe section 68. This is in 9 shown. There, the height of the section 35 is smaller than the height of the pipe section 68. However, it is also possible for this section 35 to be the same height as the pipe section 68.

Also the exemplary embodiments that too 9 have been explained, can be combined in a variety of ways with other exemplary embodiments as explained, in particular also individual features, so that these exemplary embodiments can also be viewed as disclosed. In particular, this also applies here, for example, to the connection and design of the vertical reinforcement beam 25 and/or the intermediate unit 55 and/or the ceiling wall 4d and/or the design of the inner floor longitudinal beam 6 etc. etc.

As already mentioned 8th was explained, in particular in relation to the exemplary embodiment of a fork receptacle 30, the bottom wall sections with the ends 66 and 67 are also formed there by the said legs of the preferably predetermined C shape, which face one another in the depth direction, but are arranged at a distance from one another . In this context, these free ends 66 and 67 of the bottom wall sections, which face one another, are arranged without contact with one another. In one embodiment, these lower floor wall sections can also be formed in the width direction over an entire width that extends between the outer end 31 and the inner floor longitudinal member 6.

It is also possible for a fork receptacle 30 to be designed which has a first section 35 which corresponds to the design in 6 is formed. In this exemplary embodiment, a construction is then created at a first width point, viewed in the width direction, which has the bottom wall sections with the free ends 66 and 67. It can then be provided in an exemplary embodiment that, viewed in the width direction, a corresponding further construction with a partial section is formed at a width point different from the first width point and which is closer to an inner floor longitudinal member 6, which in turn also has such floor wall sections with free ends 66 and 67. The first section 35 is then spaced in this width direction from the at least second corresponding further section with a corresponding shape. Several such sections can also be provided, which are arranged at a distance from one another in the width direction. It is also possible for such a further section to be formed, for example, by a section that is integrated into the inner floor longitudinal beam 6. In such an exemplary embodiment, the inner floor longitudinal member is also open at the bottom at this corresponding point and is interrupted accordingly.

In particular, however, the distance d1 and/or d2 measured in the depth direction is between 5 cm and 15 cm, in particular smaller than a width of a fork to be inserted.

In 10 an exemplary embodiment of an outer floor longitudinal member 4 is shown in a schematic representation. However, such an exemplary embodiment was explained using the exemplary embodiments already mentioned above. In this exemplary embodiment, the floor longitudinal beam 4 is formed as a continuous, uninterrupted component, at least in the area of a ceiling wall 4d. In particular, at least the ceiling wall 4d is made in one piece forms. In one embodiment it can be provided that the floor longitudinal member 4 is formed as a hollow profile component. This has a cutout or a free cut 69 at a specific point at which a fork receptacle is to be formed. This free cut 69 is open at the bottom. In one exemplary embodiment, the section 35 can be formed by this cutout 69. In one exemplary embodiment, this floor longitudinal beam 4 can also be present in the different exemplary embodiments mentioned above, as was explained, for example, for a floor longitudinal beam 4, which is constructed from separate longitudinal beam parts 4a, 4b and 4c.

In such an exemplary embodiment, for example, the vertical reinforcement beam 25 can sit directly on the top of the ceiling wall 4d, in particular directly above the free cut 69. In another exemplary embodiment, an intermediate unit 55 can be arranged directly on the top of the ceiling wall 4d. This intermediate unit 55 is designed in particular as a solid solid component. It can then be provided in an exemplary embodiment that the reinforcement beam 25 does not sit directly on the top of the ceiling wall 4d, but that this intermediate unit 55 is arranged in between when viewed in the height direction. In particular, the vertical reinforcement beam 25 can then sit on this intermediate unit 55 from above. The intermediate unit 55 can also have one or more block-like solid components here. In one exemplary embodiment, these can at least partially fill at least one unevenness valley of a side wall 22 on its outside 27 and/or on its inside.

In 11 a further exemplary embodiment of a freight container 1 is shown, here again only partial components - here too, as in the other explanations, for example and in particular also representative of possible other fork receptacles 32, 33, 34 - in the area of a fork receptacle 30 are shown. The floor longitudinal beam 4 can be present here, as it is 10 was explained. The fork receptacle 30 can here be formed from at least two U-shaped channel parts 70 and 71. These are separate components and are arranged at a distance from one another when viewed in the height direction, so that in one exemplary embodiment a, in particular slot-like, free area 72 is formed between these two half-shells. In particular, these two half-shells mentioned can be attached, in particular welded, to the floor longitudinal beam 4. In one exemplary embodiment, these half-shells can have a width that corresponds in particular to the width of the outer floor longitudinal member 4. However, it is also possible in another exemplary embodiment for at least one of the two half-shells to have larger dimensions in the width direction. For example, in this context at least one of the two half-shells can also extend to an adjacent inner floor longitudinal member 6. For example, this can, in particular, only be the lower channel part 71.

In another exemplary embodiment, the channel parts 70 and 71 can be formed as a continuous nozzle or ring. The free space 72 is then not available. This connector or ring then preferably extends only over the width of the outer floor longitudinal member 4, in particular in which it is arranged. Then, as with the example in 11 In particular, a component for an anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38 is formed by the lower channel part. However, this can also have other components.

In one exemplary embodiment, an exemplary embodiment of an explained anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38 can also be present. In one exemplary embodiment, this can begin at the outer end 31 viewed in the width direction. However, it can also be offset further inwards when viewed in the width direction. For example, it can be offset inwards in the width direction as much as the lower half-shell in particular is dimensioned. This means that the anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38 is arranged without overlapping with the lower half-shell or the channel part 71 when viewed in the width direction.

In 13 an exemplary embodiment of a freight container 1 is shown in a simplified vertical sectional view. As can be seen here, in one example an intermediate unit 55 is arranged sitting directly on the ceiling wall 4d of an outer floor longitudinal member 4. Here, for example, an unevenness valley, in particular a compartment chamber 56, of the side wall 22 shown here is at least partially, in particular completely, filled with this solid intermediate unit 55. The vertical reinforcement beam 25 is arranged above the intermediate unit 55 when viewed in the height direction. This exemplary embodiment with the intermediate unit 55 at the corresponding position can also be designed in all of the exemplary embodiments explained so far. This means that regardless of the design of the outer floor longitudinal member 4, 5 and / or a fork receptacle 30, this arrangement of an intermediate unit 55 between a vertical, high len reinforcement carrier 25 and a fork receptacle 30 can be provided.

In 14 is in another vertical section representation as in 13 a further exemplary embodiment of a freight container 1 is shown. In contrast to 12 Here, the intermediate unit 55 has two separate, solid components, in particular void-free, stiffening parts 57a and 57b instead of one solid component 57 ( 13 ) on. These can be exemplary embodiments of an intermediate unit 55. As can be seen, one of the two solid stiffening parts 57a is arranged on an outside 27 of the side wall 22 and the second stiffening part 57b is arranged directly on the inside of this side wall 22. In the height direction, in these exemplary embodiments, these void-free and therefore solid stiffening parts 57a and 57b are not designed over the entire height of an unevenness valley, but are lower. It is also possible that one of the two stiffening parts 57a or 57b is higher than the other.

In 13 and 14 The structure of the freight container 1 can be varied, especially below the intermediate unit 55. In particular, a wide variety of exemplary embodiments of the floor longitudinal member 4 and/or the section 35 and/or at least one coupling device 38, 41 and/or a captive device and/or a fork receptacle 30, 32, 33, 34 etc. etc. can also be used here. as explained in many ways above. This means that further exemplary embodiments are disclosed.

In the exemplary embodiments of the side wall 22 shown, the upper compartment wall part is arranged to be inclined outwards from below. In particular, led to the upper support 16 to the outside. As a result, a pocket can be formed between the carrier 16 and this upper compartment wall part. In an advantageous exemplary embodiment, this upper compartment wall part of the side wall 22 is inclined inwards when viewed in cross section from below. As a result, such a pocket between the upper carrier 16 and this upper compartment wall part can be avoided. Especially when the freight container 1 is to be emptied by turning, accumulation of cargo in such pockets can be avoided and the cargo can slide out or fall out with almost no residue. Such an inclined compartment wall then advantageously serves as an exit ramp. The same is particularly the case on the opposite side wall.

In 15 A further exemplary embodiment of a freight container 1 is shown in a perspective view from below. A partial area is shown here. In this exemplary embodiment, the floor unit 3 can be constructed with the floor longitudinal beams, in particular the floor longitudinal beams 4, 5, 6, 7. An anti-tip and anti-loss device 38 can be formed here between the two inner floor longitudinal beams 6, 7. The anti-tip and anti-loss device 38 can be closed at the bottom here. This may be the case throughout its length as viewed in the latitudinal direction. For example, the anti-tip and anti-loss device 38 can have a pipe section 73. This can be a U-shaped gutter. The pipe section 73 can also be a hollow profile with a closed cross section. This can be formed over the entire length. Such a tube can be formed in one piece. The pipe section can be a separate part from other components. In particular, the pipe section can extend over the entire clear width between the inner floor longitudinal beams 6, 7. The pipe section 73 can be connected, in particular welded, directly to the inner floor longitudinal member 6 and/or directly to the inner floor longitudinal member 7. The anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38 can only have this pipe section 73. In another exemplary embodiment, however, it can also have further components, in particular as explained in the other exemplary embodiments. It is also generally possible for this anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38 to be a further anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 41. In particular if there is an anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38, as explained in the other exemplary embodiments.

At the in 15 In the exemplary embodiment shown, the fork receptacle 30 is open downwards, in particular from the outer end 31 to the first inner floor longitudinal member 6, in particular over the entire relevant length. However, other examples could also be provided. For example, with an exemplary embodiment of an anti-tip bar 42 and/or an exemplary embodiment of the pipe section 68 and/or an exemplary embodiment according to 8th or 11 .

In general, freight containers 1 are provided which, at least in their configurations, have at least one fork receptacle 30, 32, 33, 34 and/or at least one anti-tip and/or anti-loss device 38, 41 and/or an intermediate unit 55 and/or with regard to at least one floor longitudinal beam 4, 5, 6, 7 and / or with respect to at least one vertical reinforcement beam 25, 26, 59, 60 can be designed in a variety of ways and thus build on this The exemplary embodiments of these components and/or assemblies mentioned in each case can be combined in many ways, even beyond the exemplary embodiments explained.

In exemplary embodiments, the anti-tip and/or anti-loss device can have at least one anti-tip and/or safety bracket and/or have free legs with free ends and/or have bottom wall sections of a lower jacket wall.
