DE2344423A1 - Sterilising crates of wire lattice - stackable within each other when empty or upon each other when full - Google Patents

Abstract

The crates are of rectangular cross section tapering inwards on all sides from top to bottom. The top rectangular frame is of thick wire to which are welded the wires forming the sides and bottom. On two opposite sides at the top thick wire stirrups are hinged on eyes. In the position shown the outer ends of the stirrups rest on the top frame. Just within the frame the stirrups are bent downwards and then horizontally. Another crate can now be stacked above, resting on the horizontal bars and located within the framework and the vertical side pieces. In the alternative position the stirrups can be hinged upward, outward and downward about their eyes when the parts from handles for lifting or dropping the crates.

Description

Sterilization basket

The invention relates to a sterilization basket made of wire mesh existing wall and floor parts and an upper frame consisting of a wire, on which on opposite sides Edge struts as handles folding bracket with a width essentially equal to the width of the upper one The frame are articulated and have side sections offset towards the outside with respect to the articulation eyes, which are located in Support the inwardly folded position on the upper frame struts.

This sterilization basket is used to hold textiles or sieves loaded with items to be sterilized, which are also basket-like are executed.

Such a strainer basket is known from utility model 7 108 150, which in connection with the upper one from an opposite the wire mesh with an enlarged cross-section Has frame handles of the type specified above. The end of the handle side sections facing away from the eyelets is connected by the straight bracket section serving as the actual handle. This remains above the level determined by the upper frame even when the handles are folded inwards.

In the case of strainer baskets, this has the purpose of damaging the introduced To prevent items to be sterilized, in particular their wrapping. At the same time, there is also an upper support created for sieve baskets stacked on top of it, and also between the eyelets and the side sections of the The crankings located in the handles contribute to the support of the upper strainer baskets.

This design is useful for sieve baskets that are arranged in a sterilization basket. The well-known version, which creates a stable support on the frame forming a relatively rigid part, but leads to certain uncertainties because there is no lateral guidance.

The invention is directed to a sterilization basket that can directly accommodate items to be sterilized, in particular textiles, or several of the sieve baskets described above. In the case of sterilization baskets, handles are generally made by interrupting the mesh on opposite end faces formed below the circumferential upper frame.

The stackability of a sterilization basket is generally achieved in that either under the bottom section a special stand frame is arranged, which fits into the frame forming the upper frame, or that a lower Part of the Sextenwandabschnxtte is angled conically inwards, so that the bottom can be inserted into the upper frame is. In the first case, the baskets only interlock with the frame, so that a relatively high and space-wasting stacking occurs; in the latter case, the stacking engagement is not defined unless it is an additional stacking frame laid around the outside.

The invention is based on the use of a handle, as assumed above as being known using a strainer basket has been. The invention is based on the object of creating a sterilization basket with handles which can be used as a stack carrier to support an upper sterilization basket with its base within and below the level of the upper frame are suitable.

This task is carried out with a sterilization kit of the type specified at the beginning Art solved in that foldable handles are provided for stacking purposes, which are supported by the side on the struts of the upper frame with bent legs also cause a side guide of a stacked basket.

It is particularly preferred that the one turned away from the eyelets The section connecting the end of the side sections has a substantially U-shaped section bent in such a way, that it is located on the upper frame struts Extends side sections within the upper frame as supports in the basket. This is the sunk and laterally guided support guaranteed.

The substantially U-shaped section preferably has a width that its legs extend directly next to the frame struts into the basket. This makes it practical the entire width of the sterilization basket is used for stacking.

According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, there are bends provided between the eyelets and the side sections of the handle immediately behind the eyelets, so that the Length of the upper frame for receiving the lower part of an attached basket is not inadmissibly impaired.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a conically conical downward facing on all sides for stacking purposes

young basket that is in a folded position with edge support handles serving as a stacking support. Due to the uniform conicity, they are continuous in their plane Wall parts created that have a good filling factor enable, whereby a much closer stacking is achieved when empty by folding the handles outwards will.

It is practical if vertical parts of the wire mesh are provided in relation to the length of the side sections of the handle, that the angled, essentially U-shaped section can be folded into the basket between two vertical struts.

It is preferred that the substantially U-shaped and the actual handle forming portion at right angles, i.e. in the is essentially bent by 90, opposite the side sections. Certain angular deviations are possible.

Furthermore, an advantageous embodiment is that the eyelets used to articulate the handle from the the side sections and their bends formed plane are bent in the direction of the angled section, and that the uppermost wall frame of the wall sections, which runs parallel to the upper frame, is lower than a lowest one Part of the handle that is folded outwards. This makes it possible for the side sections to be folded out when the Handle can extend in part between vertical parts of the wire mesh.

The invention is illustrated below using an exemplary embodiment explained, which is shown in the drawing. In the drawing show:

Pig. 1: a partial side view in section of a sterilization basket, wherein in particular the upper part is shown at one edge with a handle;

- 5 pig. 2: a plan view of FIG. 1 in partial representation;

3: a perspective view of a device according to the invention Handle;

4: a schematic partial side view of the stacking several baskets on handles folded inwards;

5: a schematic partial side view one inside the other stacked empty baskets with handles folded outwards.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, an upper frame of a basket can be seen in sections, namely in the region of a corner in which a side strut 2 and a cross strut 3 on one Front side are provided. At the other corner of the cross strut 3 is the handle designated as a whole with 4, the is shown in the folded position, designed and articulated in a corresponding manner. The handle is shown as a whole in FIG.

Immediately behind the eyelets 5, 6 the handle faces outwards lying bends 7 »8, so that side sections 9» 10 in the folded-in state on the longitudinal struts 2 of the upper Frame come.

The ends of the side sections 9 » 10, which are bent towards one another, are connected by a U-shaped section 11 which is bent substantially at right angles. Its legs 12, 13 are provided directly on the inside next to the longitudinal struts 2 of the upper frame 1, so that the part 14 forming the actual handle extends practically over the entire width of the basket.

509813/0911

It can also be seen from FIGS. 1 and 3 that the eyelets 5, 6 from that formed by the side sections 9, IO and bends 7, 8 Level in the same direction as section 11.

Two vertical parts 15, 16 of the side wall braid can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, which are at the top on the inside of the frame 1 are attached. It can be seen that the essentially U-shaped section between these parts protrudes downwards, so that the legs 12, 13 can be arranged as outwardly as possible. If the legs 12, 13 greater length have, their angle to the sixth sections 9, 10 can be a little more than 90 °.

In Fig. 1 the handle is shown at '4' in the outwardly folded position. It can be seen that an upper wall frame 17 running parallel to the upper frame is conveniently lower than the lower part of the outwardly folded handle 4 ¹ , so that the side sections 9, 10 run between or on the outside of correspondingly arranged vertical parts 18 of the end walls can.

In Figs. 1 and 2, the parts 15, 16, 18 of the wire mesh, which form walls, attached to the inside of the upper frame 1 by spot welding or the like. An attachment on the outside is also included.

In Fig. K three baskets 19, 20, 21 are shown schematically and partially. The handles 4 are each folded inwards and are supported in the manner described with their side sections on the associated upper frame 1. The bottom 22, 23 of an upper basket is supported on the part 14 which forms the actual handle.

509813/0911

The side walls are correspondingly conical like "the end walls executed. The legs 12, 13 of the handles 4 can therefore also have a corresponding conicity, i.e. obliquely inwards, to the part 14 forming the handle.

When the baskets are stacked one inside the blank 19 to 21, the handles% are folded outwardly, and the baskets can the taper "are largely nested together its wall portions accordingly.
