Abstract

Material containers, which are therefore intended only to serve for the weather-resistant and theft-proof accommodation of materials and tools, etc., must be capable of being produced very cheaply. However, the time which has to be added for the mounting and dismounting of these material containers is an even more important factor in their economical use. The invention provides a material container of this type, which, by virtue of its special construction, can be mounted and dismounted very simply and therefore quickly or only with low labour costs. This is achieved by means of a fixed bottom unit, a similar roof unit and rigid wall units to be inserted between these two units. <IMAGE>

Description

Material container

The invention relates to a material container consisting of a Cuboid frame structure with upper and lower chords as well as four corner posts, in the trapezoidal sheets are inserted, in which an upwardly open, circumferential channel is provided for adjusting the trapezoidal sheets and the upper chords S-shaped bevels in the cross-section are likewise, however, afterwards At the bottom there is an open, again circumferential channel, with the upper chords, however, at the top Continued in an Ir-shape, so that another one pointing into the container, too Circumferential channel to accommodate the trapezoidal roof sheets arises and the longitudinal, upper and lower chords can be screwed to the corner post (patent application P 31 10 705.2).

Such material containers are, as the name suggests, for Storage of material and tools etc. required, so only have to allow to be able to store this material weatherproof and theft-proof. The structure can therefore very simple and the container can therefore be manufactured cheaply overall. It however, it is not just the manufacturing or selling price of such a container for its usefulness is decisive, but also the possibility of quick and dismantling. Of course, this in addition to the other requirements, such as weather resistance, Longest possible service life with multiple installation options, easy transport option Etc.

The simplest and therefore cheap containers meet these requirements generally not, or at least not in all points to be fulfilled; in particular all such containers on the market require a proportionate long up and down time, which is particularly undesirable because this is the case is associated with relatively high wage costs.

It is therefore the task of such a material container specify the requirements placed on such a container in addition to the other requirements there is also the demand for quick and easy assembly and disassembly Fulfills. This is achieved after a process that has not yet cured to the state of the art Suggestion by the fact that on the lower chords an upwardly open, circumferential channel is provided for adjusting the trapezoidal sheets and the top chords in cross-section Are bent in an S-shape and thus also create a downwardly open, turn around running channel results, with the upper chords however are continued at the top in an L-shape, so that another pointing into the container, also circumferential channel for receiving the roof trapezoidal sheets is created and that the longitudinal, upper and lower chords can be screwed to the corner post.

The cuboid frame does not have to be the same as before in a difficult, skilled manner using many Screw points are joined together, making sure that this frame is zW is extremely stiff, but according to the invention, only the two end frames will be after inserting the trapezoidal sheets with the longitudinal belts over a total of eight screws tied together. With these eight screw connections, which are easily carried out by unskilled workers are to be carried out, the assembly of the material container according to the invention is already finished in a fraction of the time it took to set up such a Containers was required.

This was achieved by pre-assembling the two end walls the particularly simple adjustment construction for the trapezoidal sheets and in particular the narrowing to a total of eight screw connections. With these screw connections Press nuts can be used so that these connecting parts are not lost can go. Of course, the screw bolts can also be attached to the corresponding Straps remain, so that no small items that can easily be carried out during such assembly work can be lost, are present. Also the transport of the dismantled material container does not run into difficulties, since the two end walls stand up easily or are to be transported lying down, as are the trapezoidal sheets on the long sides, respectively of the roof and the associated straps.

This construction also makes it relatively quick to assemble and dismantling is possible, the assembly in particular requires extreme care, especially when setting up the floor unit and adjusting the sand sheets. Even pushing in the roof trapezoidal sheeting does, as experience has shown, nevertheless difficulties, especially if not a well-rehearsed assembly team can be used.

The invention aims to do not yet belong to the state of the art Improve the construction precisely in this regard, without losing the advantages the cheap manufacturability and the easy portability are lost. In particular, to simplify the assembly of the material container according to the invention and to enable them not to be incorporated forces, is according to the invention suggested that the lower chords to cross bows arranged in the form of a ladder a floor unit and the upper chords by joining and pushing in the trapezoidal roof sheet are combined into a roof unit and that the wall trapezoidal sheets through to the front edges placed on, in cross-section U-shaped sheet metal channels are stiffened.

So no longer as in the case of the not yet state-of-the-art technology In the construction, the two end walls are pre-assembled, but it becomes a floor unit and a roof unit specified to be inserted between the wall units, the however, in contrast to the older construction, are already stiffened in such a way that that assistants are sufficient for assembly.

So the material container can be built up so that the floor unit is deposited and two wall units, a longitudinal edge and a transverse wall, butt against each other be placed on which the roof unit can then already be placed. After setting up the other wall parts and connecting the longitudinal straps the material container is already mounted through corner posts. Any set-up aids are not required here. In addition, the container is already after assembly already so stiff that the corner posts practically only have a security function, the whole structure is extremely solid and stable.

In the construction, which is not yet part of the state of the art the lower chords were also bent in an S-shape in cross-section in order to to form circumferential channel. For easier production, according to the invention proposed to design the lower chords U-shaped in cross-section and by bending them back part of the upper leg to form a torsion box. One of those Lower chord is extremely stiff, so that a relatively weak material for manufacture can be used. However, the circumferential channel is now missing, which is after the Invention is formed in that running parallel to the torsion box at a distance a square tube is attached to the cross bows. Through this square tube the cross bows are fixed during manufacture so that the welding of the Lower chords is easily possible. Without prejudice to this, you can of course the transverse sides, as far as this is necessary, in turn bent in an S-shape in cross-section Lower chords can be used to form the upwardly open channel.

The trapezoidal wall sheets should be fitted with, be stiffened in cross-section U-shaped sheet metal channels. Appropriately, these Sheet metal channels riveted to the trapezoidal sheets and the sheet metal channels on the underside with them provided with a fold pointing to the inside. This fold lies on a on the cross bows resting on the chipboard, the in the Not yet state-of-the-art construction or laborious parts the substructure had to be screwed on. Not only is through this though Formation of the underside sheet metal channel held the floor chipboard securely, but rather the entire construction also continues to be stiffened.

It has been found to be extremely useful for quick assembly that the corner posts have terminal, longitudinal elongated holes and the longitudinal straps are provided with outwardly open, terminal longitudinal slots. The elongated holes respectively slots allow adjusting the corner posts respectively relatively large manufacturing tolerances too. In that the longitudinal belts have slots open to the outside the eight fastening screws can remain on the corner post and simply pushed into the longitudinal straps and tightened there.

It is easier to assemble here if on the introduction side of the slots a slight increase is embossed or welded to a to prevent unintentional slipping out of the screw bolts during assembly.

It has proven to be very useful if the corner posts are one-sided are integrally connected to wall parts, so each to the transverse or to the Side walls, or on one corner edge each on the front and side wall parts.

The drawing shows the individual construction elements of the material container shown schematically according to the invention, namely show: Fig. 1 the view on a Längzgurt-FuBpunkt, Fig. 2 shows a section along the line II / II of the Fig. 1 with inserted corner post, Fig. 3 is a cross section of the underside longitudinal chord, FIG. 4 shows a cross section of the upper chord, FIG. 5 shows a underside and FIG. 6 shows an upper-side sheet metal channel.

Cross bows 1 are welded to longitudinal square tubes 2 in such a way that that a ladder-like floor unit is formed. At the outer edges of the cross bows 1 then lower chords 3 are welded, the upper side, by bending back a Part of the upper leg 4, form a torsion box 5.'Zwischen this torsion box 5 and the square tube 2 is an upwardly open channel into which the Trapezoidal wall sheets 6, which are stiffened on the underside by a sheet metal channel 7, are used can be.

The inner leg of the sheet metal channel 7 is provided with a bevel 8, which rests on a floor chipboard 9 in the assembled state. On shown in Fig. 1 A corner post 10 is also attached to the base point, this corner post 10 being a Has a longitudinal slot 11 into which a screw bolt 12 engages. The screw bolt 12 is in a nach.vorne open slot 13 of the longitudinal belt 3 inserted, over a (welding point) elevation 14, which during assembly an unwanted Slipping out of the screw bolt 12 prevented.

Fig. 4 finally shows the cross section of the upper belt with the channel 15, which is open at the bottom and which is provided on the inside for receiving the trapezoidal roof sheets Channel 16 and another closed channel 17 serving as a rain gutter. 6 finally shows the sheet metal channel 18 on the upper side, which, like the underside Sheet metal channel 7 is placed on the associated trapezoidal sheets and riveted.
