He maintains V / asserb, especially for motor vehicles

The innovation relates to a water container, in particular for motor vehicles, consisting of a container body and a holding frame for it.

7625127 09.12.76

Water tanks already built into motor vehicles are known for windscreen washer systems. These containers are also detachably stored under the hood, e.g. of the engine compartment, but only for the use is suitable for the stated purpose «In addition, this water is often mixed with solution additives, so that it is unsuitable for washing hands« With heavily soiled windshields, especially due to dense insect infestation or after a In the event of a breakdown, a larger amount of water is required in order to be able to thoroughly clean the windshield with a sponge and possibly a scraper or to be able to wash your hands. This is what one is up to now Dependent on an external water supply, i.e. tied to certain locations such as petrol stations, although a separate container may still be available for transporting the water to the vehicle is required, which is usually also lacking. The procurement of additional water is therefore difficult connected·

The task of the innovation is therefore to create an additional water supply in the vehicle that is always accessible and in is practically applicable.

This object is achieved by the innovation in that the container body is releasably mounted and a closure Has closable drainage pipe.

A particularly useful embodiment results in a further embodiment of the innovation in that the drain pipe as Hose formed and a holder for the hose is arranged on the container body.

The advantages achieved with the innovation are in particular that the container body is both detachably arranged and is provided with a closable drain pipe «The container body can thus be removed for filling with water and for

subsequent transport of the water can be used. The holding frame carrying the container body and the closure on the drain pipe secure the transport of water. If necessary, such a Any part of the vehicle is moistened with water and cleaned or water is drained to wash hands or the engine cooler or the windscreen washer system can be refilled without having to go to a specific location beforehand. The additional water supply can thus be used in a variety of ways in the container body and makes the driver independent. The container after the The innovation therefore increases safety and improves the equipment of the motor vehicle.

Embodiments of the innovation are shown in the drawing and are described in more detail below. Show it:

Figure 1 is a side view of a container;

FIG. 2 shows the front view of the container according to FIG. 1;

Figure 3 is a side view of a container of a different design:

figure if die Ansicm; of the closure of the ADiiuiiroüres.

The intended for installation in a motor vehicle container consists of a container body 1 and a holding frame 2 on which the Container body 1 is releasably mounted. The container body 1 receiving the water can preferably be made as a rigid hollow body Plastic or fabric or film can be designed as a flexible bag-like hollow body. Form and training of Container body 1 and holding frame 2 are dependent on the type of vehicle and adapted to this.

FIG. 1 shows a fender or another body part 3 to which the holding frame 2 is fastened by means of adapted shoes k by screws 5 or the like. The holding frame 2 consists of an upwardly open profile frame with an upper one

7625127 09.12.76

horizontal profile pair 6 and a lower profile pair 7. Eaide profile pairs 6 and 7 each carry a rear through profile 8 and 9 arranged transversely thereto, which in turn are connected to one another by vertical profiles 10. The front ends of the profile pairs 6 and 7 are coupled to one another by further vertical profiles 11 (FIG. 2), while short profiles 12 and 13 parallel to the passage profiles 8 and 9 protrude against each other at these ends, with a central free space ^v ia left on both sides is limited by vertical profiles 14. Corresponding parallel vertical profiles can also be provided between the passage profiles 8 and 9, which are then connected to one another at the bottom by profile arches 15 to increase the strength.

The container body 1 is inserted into the profile frame of the holding frame 2. This has little lateral play to the profile frame for guidance and has a radially protruding frame 16 surrounding the opening at the top, which rests on the passage profiles 8 and 9 and the profile pair 6. A cover rests on a & Oi frame 16? with an edge 18 dipping into the surface. The frame 16 also carries a handle 19 that spans the cover 17 transversely. The cover 17 and frame 16 are held in place by an elastic band 21 hooked into hooks 20 on the vertical profiles 10 and 11.

In the bottom of the container body 1, a drain pipe designed as a hose 23 is connected to a drain opening, which in its rest position outwardly upwards and by inserting the bent end 23 * into one on the frame 16 of the container body 1 provided, also serving as a bracket clamp-like Shutter 24 is closed and held.

It can be seen that the container body 1 after loosening the straps 21 by lifting it on the handle 19 from the holding frame 2 can be pulled out upwards, the drain pipe 23

In a further embodiment of the innovation, the outside of the container body 1 another pocket 25 with preferably self-closing Closing flap 25 'be arranged to hand detergent or the like. to be able to accommodate. Furthermore, the handle 19 can still. a hook 26 may be attached to the container body 1 at a To be able to hang up the edge, e.g. of the roof gutter of the motor vehicle. Finally, the edge 18 of the cover 17 can be made so high be that the lid 17 can, conversely, serve as a water bowl.

Another embodiment of the innovation is shown in FIGS. 3 and k , parts corresponding to the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 1 and 2 being provided with the same reference numerals. The holding frame 2, which is fastened to a body part 3 by screws 5, has a horizontal arm 27 at the top with a downwardly pointing nose 28 which dips into a corresponding recess 29 in the container body 1 like a snap-lock. At the lower end of the holding frame 2, a nose 31 of the container body 1 is positively seated in a groove 30, with a further projection 32 on the container body 1 resting against a bevel 33 of the holding frame 2 and thus preventing upward movement. It can be seen that after lifting the nose 28 with the help of the handle 3h attached to the arm 27 from the recess 29, the container body 1 can be pivoted clockwise until the projection 32 is out of the area of the bevel 33, after which the container body 1 is lifted can be. The fill port located at the top is closed by a screw cap 35 is arranged while the discharge pipe 23 in the manner described and supported at its end. According to FIG. K , a valve 36 can also be provided for each closure, which can be inserted into the holder, such as clamp 2 / f », or hooks or the like can be hooked into place

This clamp ZIf or the hook can be attached to one side wall of the container body 1, while the pocket 25 is arranged on the other side wall so that the closed position is set automatically when it is released,

In a further embodiment, the drain pipe 23 can also be provided on the screw cap 35, the hook 26 expediently being arranged in the vicinity of the bottom 22 in order to be able to hang the container body upside down in the drain position, as indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. Of course, in this embodiment, a handle can also be provided on or in the vicinity of the base 22 . For insertion into the holding frame 2, a handle 38 is at the upper end, can be actuated by gripping the same time the handle 3k ·

The drain pipe 23 can also be used as a short piece of pipe Form a closure, e.g. valve 36. It is finite conceivable also to equip the container body 1 with a water or air pump in order to be able to pump out the water.
