Description Wire mesh container

Transport containers with wire mesh walls, rigid or collapsible, e.g. Euro mesh boxes are well known. The wire mesh is usually welded into angle frames. For many transport purposes, these mesh walls have the disadvantage that the transported goods can be damaged due to the high specific load on the wires. For this reason, plastic linings have been attached to the inner wall of the containers. These plastic walls are attached using metal hooks that are riveted and hooked into the wires. This method has the disadvantage that it is very complex and uneconomical. Furthermore, at the location of the rivet, the head of which has to be quite large due to the risk of it tearing out, there is a chafing point that can damage the transported goods.

The inventor has made it his task to eliminate these disadvantages. He proposes attaching the inner lining using screwable, push-through clamps, where at least the part on the inside of the container is made of plastic. This can be the fixed part as well as the screwable part. This means that the inside of the container is made entirely of plastic, even in the fastening area.

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a wire mesh wall (1). The wire mesh (3) is usually located in an angle frame (2). The plastic plate (4) is located on the wire mesh (3) on the inside of the container. The clamps (5+6) are designed as screwable elements in which at least the inner part that holds the plastic plate against it is made of plastic.

Fig. 2 shows a section through the wire mesh wall. The wire mesh (3) is located in the angle frame (2). The plastic plate (4) is attached to the wire mesh wall via the fastening element (5). This

The fastening element consists of the inner part 5b with the arms (5a). These have hooks (c). The bridge (5d) with the arms (5e) is pushed over the arms (5a). These have hooks (5f). The threaded bolt (5h) is turned in the bridge (5d), which sits on the bar of the wire mesh (3) and thus firmly fastens the plastic plate.

Fig. 3 shows the same arrangement but with the fastening element (6). A hook (6a) is threaded on the side that goes through the plastic plate (4). The other side (6d) hooks behind the wire mesh. A plastic cap (6c) is screwed or clipped onto the thread and tightens the plastic plate (4) against the mesh (3). The plastic cap (6c) has a slot for the screwdriver.

Claims (4)

Transport container with inner wall plastic lining, aluminum sheet or the like, which lie against the wire mesh walls of the transport container or similar counter-holdings, characterized in that they are fastened via screwable elements (5,6). 2.) Transport container according to claim 1 &tgr;characterized in that at least the part (5b, 6c) of the element (5, 6) facing the interior of the container is made of plastic. 3.) Transport container according to claim 1+2, characterized in that the screwable elements can be clipped, so that during assembly the inner plastic element is clipped onto a thread of a hook etc. that is held to the wires of the grid and is unscrewed during disassembly. 4.) Transport container according to claims 1-3, characterized in that a U-shaped hook is provided with a thread at each end, onto which a fastening plastic cap is clipped or screwed, so that two plastic caps are present per fastening on the inside of the container.
