Abstract

The collapsible box is particularly for transport purposes. The base (1), lid (4), sidewalls (2) and ends are detachably secured to each other by tongued-and-grooved joints (5, 6) sliding in and out of engagement. The joints may be of dovetail section. There may be sockets (7) at opposite sides of the base, to accommodate the sidewalls, also supporting ribs (8) under the base, on opposite sides. A part from the grooves, there may be guides in base and lid (9) to accommodate the end walls in the dismantled state. Means may be provided in lid and side and/or end walls to accommodate locking pins (10).

Description

The invention relates to a collapsible container, in particular.

a transport box.

Transport boxes are known in many designs. You will be after mostly destroyed and thrown away during transport. More valuable boxes will also be returned to the sender. Sending back empty boxes is because of that required transport space expensive. That is why the boxes are usually broken apart and sent back disassembled into individual wall parts. Since when the Crates that are frequently damaged are costly repairs for re-use necessary.

The invention is intended to avoid these disadvantages and the object can be solved to create a transport box that is easy to dismantle When disassembled, it is space-saving and can be translated safely.

To solve this problem, the invention proposes the Bottom, the lid, the side walls and the end walls of the box with slide-in strips to provide un / or grooves through which the parts can be detachably connected to one another sina.

It has proven to be useful to insert the slide-in strips and / or -to train grooves as dovetail guides.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, two opposite sides of the floor base parts for attaching the side walls be arranged. This enables the cover in the collapsed state to attach and to store the side walls safely between the lid and the bottom.

Spacer bars can be attached under the floor so that here The forks of a fork lift truck can be inserted to load heavy boxes onto them Way to transy) locate.

On the bottom part and on the cover part you can outside of the slide-in rails and / or grooves guides for receiving the end walls attached in the dismantled state be. The box according to the invention can serve as a shelf. The removed end walls but can also be placed between spacer bars half of the bottom part be stored if the box is to serve as a shelf.

To fix the crate parts to each other both in the assembled and even in the collapsed state, the cover part and at least one side wall should or end wall provided with receptacles for a locating pin.

In the drawings, an embodiment of the invention is shown. Show on the drawings; Fig. 1 the transport box according to the invention in a built-up State, FIG. 2 the box in the collapsed state, FIG. 6 a section through the box according to line AB in at. 1, FIG. 4 shows a part of FIG. 1 on an enlarged scale Representation, FIG. 5 shows a part of FIG. 2 in an enlarged representation, and FIG.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the assembly of the box.

The box is set up and merged with part 1 (testicles) where the parts 2 (side walls) are inserted horizontally.

Parts j (end walls) are pushed vertically into parts 2 and 1. Part 4 (cover) is then pushed over parts 2 and @ To insert the parts into each other are these with slide-in guide bars 5 and slide-in grooves 6 Mistake.

Part 4 is used in part 2 by inserting a simple jack bolt LO held against slipping. When used and as a shelf, the parts 3 are after briefly back and forth slide the part 4 pulled out and into the grooves 9 of the parts 1 and 4 inserted (Tig. N or enlargement Fig. 4), thereby causing the parts ; an additional stiffening of the parts that are still pushed together.

To save space when transporting empties, the respective two Parts 2 and; placed on part 1 in the order 2-3-3-2. This kind of amalgamation prevents these parts from slipping out, since the dimensions of the parts are the same Correspond to the dimensions of part 1 between the ridges 11 or outer walls, thus the parts 3 lie between the ridge strips 11 and / or the outer walls, thus the parts n also lie between the ridges of the parts 2.

Part 4 is then pushed over Part 1 to prevent it from slipping the rivet pin 10 prevented. (Fig. 2 or enlargement Fig. 5) Under part 1 can Corresponding numbers of support strips depending on the filling quantity and the size of the crate 8 The height dimension of the transportie- @ m @ a forklift truck can be attached required are.
