Abstract

The invention relates to a stacking cassette or a container for transporting and storing long goods, e.g. B. of pipes with attached for transport at all four upper corners container corner fittings for the pivot of a load traverse. In order to be able to stack next to one another, each stacking cassette is provided with pyramid-shaped or conical projections at at least two, preferably diagonally opposite corners next to the container corner fittings and within the dimensions of the rectangular stacking cassette and each stacking cassette is provided with correspondingly negatively shaped pyramidal or conical depressions on the underside that the projections engage in the depressions when stacked.

The invention relates to a stacking cassette or a container for transporting and storing long goods according to the preamble of the claim.

So far, containers and stacking cassettes have generally not been equipped with special devices for Centering provided. Therefore it was necessary to attach a container or a Stacking cassette so-called Flipper, d. H. to arrange downward sloping arms that the traverse in brought the correct position for engaging the pivot pins in the openings of the container corner fittings.

Due to the protruding flippers, it was not possible to stack the containers close together. Much more Clearances between the containers of approx. 60 cm were required.

From US-PS 43 39 047, on the other hand, a stacking cassette is known which protrudes over the upper edge Has projections in correspondingly shaped conical depressions on the underside of a can engage the upper stacking cassette. Here, however, the full bearing pressure is on the projections and in the in normal rough operation, rapid damage or wear is likely to occur.

The object of the invention is to place the containers or stacking cassettes next to one another without any spacing to be able to stack and to design the stacking cassette so that the serving for centering the cassette Parts do not have to absorb the bearing pressure of the cassette stacked above. This task is done with solved the features specified in the claim.

The main advantage of the claimed solution is that the previously existing space between the containers or the stacking cassettes is omitted and thus per container or per stacking cassette When stacking in several rows next to each other, less space is required. By mutual Centering the containers or stacking cassettes when stacking one on top of the other is also advantageous a great security against shifting when filling or emptying given, since the projections and Wells between a lower and an upper stacked cassette are continuously engaged.

A little remains over the protrusions when stacking Space to the inside of the wells free so that the bearing pressure from the container corner fittings is recorded. The pyramidal or conical projections should therefore not reduce the bearing pressure take over a stacked cassette, but only to center the upper cassette to serve. A projection is attached to the upper end of a rod that is inserted into holes in the frame Stacking cassette is guided and rests on a carrier that connects the lower part of the frame with the underside attached wells forms. The rod is advantageously designed to be resilient, in particular from a Made of spring steel, so that breaking of the rod is avoided even in rough operation.

The subject matter of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

F i g. 1 shows a corner of a stacking cassette with a container corner fitting and protrusion on a pole viewed from the side,

F i g. FIG. 2 is a top view of the FIG. 1 corner shown and

F i g. 3 shows a view from a long side of several stacking cassettes stored next to one another and one on top of the other, with the upper stacking cassette hanging on a cross member and the centering device partially cut is.

As far as shown here, a stacking cassette consists of several frame parts 5 welded together, 6, 7, 8 and 9. The vertical frame part 7 has a container corner fitting 10 at the upper end welded, in which an elongated hole 11 for a pivot pin of a load traverse (14 / F i g. 3) is attached. Next to this container corner fitting 10 a rod 2 is arranged, which is at the lower end in a bearing 3, an opening in the diagonal frame part 6 passes through, with a guide bushing 4 within a certain tolerance is guided and carries a projection 1 at the upper end. This projection 1 can upwards with a Pyramid or a cone. A correspondingly negatively designed pyramid or a cone is in Lower frame part 5 incorporated in a straight line under the rod 2 in a recess 12.

From FIG. 2 it can be seen that neither the projection 1 nor the rod 2 or the bearing 3 or the Guide bushing 4 laterally beyond the outer boundary of the stacking cassette, namely the frame part 8 protrude so that no additional space is required.

This superposed arrangement of recess 12 in the lower frame part 5 and rod 2 with Protrusion 1 on the upper part can be designed stacking cassettes in a space-saving manner as in FIG. 3 shown are stacked close together and on top of one another. A projection 1 engages a lower stacking cassette into a recess 12 of a stacking cassette placed thereon. Be advantageous to diagonally opposite Corners of a stacking cassette each have a rod 2 with a projection 1 on the upper part and a corresponding one Recess 12 arranged in the lower frame part 5.

The height of the projection 1 on a rod 2 is advantageously dimensioned so that between a projection 1 and a recess 12 of a sta-

pelkassette a small distance 15 remains. This ensures that the bearing pressure is a superimposed Stacking cassette from a bearing plate 13 on the lower frame part 5 on the container corner fitting 10 of the The stacking cassette arranged underneath is transferred, thereby relieving the load on the new centering device.

Claims (1)

Claim: Stacking cassette or container for transporting and storing long goods, e.g. B. of pipes with protrusions and depressions on all four upper corners for stacking the stacking cassette or container, each stacking cassette at the top of the corners with pyramid-shaped or conical projections (1) is provided and on the underside with corresponding negatively shaped pyramidal or conical depressions (12) is provided in such a way that the projections (1) engage in the depressions (12) during stacking, characterized in that that the projections (1) are arranged next to known container corner fittings 10) and a projection (1) is attached to the upper end of a rod (2) which is inserted into holes in the frame of the stacking cassette is guided and rests on a frame part (5), which the lower part of the frame with the on the underside attached recesses (12), with over the projections (1) when stacked a small distance (15) to the interior of the depressions (12) remains free so that the bearing pressure is taken up by the container corner fittings (10). ! 0
