Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container with fold-out legs according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Containers of this type are known; for example, CH-PS 583 118 describes a multipurpose basket, in particular a laundry basket, on the bottom of which foldable and foldable legs are attached.
  • the legs are held in their folded position by a locking device.
  • the locking device When the locking device is released, the legs fold down under the influence of springs which are arranged on their pivot pins and tend to bring the legs into their unfolded position.
  • the legs To fold in, the legs must be swung in by hand against the force of the spring and locked using the locking device. This is cumbersome, especially when the basket is full and cannot be tilted to fold the legs or vice versa.
  • the object of the invention is seen in creating a container of the type mentioned, in which the legs can be folded in effortlessly even when the container is full.
  • container is to be understood here in the broadest sense and includes everything that is suitable for holding objects, such as baskets, tubs, trays and the like.
  • a preferred embodiment of the container is designed according to claim 2, wherein the training according to claim 3 is appropriate.
  • the link is rigid and designed as a rod; but it can also be designed as a flexible element, preferably as a rope.
  • the actuating member can be used as an eccentric member, e.g. be designed as a one-armed lever, the pivot of which is arranged on the container bottom.
  • the eccentric link can also be designed as a roll, on which the flexible element is wound when the legs are folded in or out.
  • a safety device is advantageously arranged to hold the legs in their unfolded position; it can be designed, for example, according to claim 10.
  • the securing device can have a locking part fastened to the container and a latch part fastened to the handle part according to claim 11.
  • the securing device according to claim 12 contain a spring which biases the legs in their unfolded position.
  • Such a safety device can be arranged so that it can also be used as a locking device for the folded legs.
  • the embodiment according to claim 13 is advantageous, the eccentric arrangement of the legs on the pivot promoting the unfolding.
  • An embodiment of the container according to claim 18 facilitates the folding of the legs, an embodiment according to claim 19 being particularly advantageous since it is simple and also includes the possibility of holding the parts of the securing device in engagement when the legs are extended.
  • FIG. 1 shows a container with one pair of legs folded in and out, in a simplified representation, in section I-I of FIG. 2;
  • Fig. 2 shows the container of Figure 1 with legs folded, from above.
  • 3 shows a first embodiment of a folding device, in the folding position, in vertical section;
  • Fig. 4 the folding device of Figure 3, in the extended position.
  • FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the folding device, in the folding position, in vertical section
  • FIG. 6 shows the folding device of FIG. 5, in the unfolded position
  • Fig. 7 shows a third embodiment of the folding device, in the folding division, schematically, in vertical section
  • FIG. 8 shows the folding device of FIG. 7 in the unfolded position
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show a variant of the design of the actuating element in an embodiment of the folding device, similar to that of FIGS. 7 and 8;
  • FIG. 10 shows a bearing with a first and a second securing device with the leg extended, in section X-X of FIG. 11;
  • FIG. 11 the bearing of FIG. 10 in section XI-XI of FIG. 10;
  • the container 10 has a horizontal container base 12 and four approximately vertical sides walls 14, 16, 18, 20 and four legs 22.
  • the container bottom 12 contains a peripheral, downwardly projecting edge 24 which practically forms the continuation of the side walls.
  • the container bottom 12 forms with its edge 24 a space 26 which receives the legs in the folded state and parts of a folding device arranged on each narrow side wall 16, 20. When the legs are folded in, the container stands on the edge 24 of the container base 12.
  • the narrow side walls 16, 20 have carrying handles 30, 32 arranged centrally in their upper region, each with a recess 34 visible in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • parts of the folding device protrude, namely a handle part 36 and the upper region of a connecting member 38, in whose lower, angled end 40 a horizontal axis 42 is received.
  • the axis 42 extends approximately along the entire narrow side wall 20 and is connected at its ends to an eccentric actuator 44 of the folding device.
  • the actuator 44 designed as an eccentric lever and the connecting member 38 are thereby articulated to one another.
  • Each actuator 44 is supported by a pivot 46 in a recess 48 in the container bottom 12.
  • the recess 48 is designed as a vertically arranged elongated hole, so that the pivot 46 can move vertically therein. The mode of operation of this training is described below.
  • the leg 22 is fastened eccentrically to the pivot pin 46.
  • a locking part 50 of a locking device which, when the legs are folded in, cooperates with a latch part 52 which is arranged below the handle part 36 on the connecting member 38.
  • a resilient element 54 is arranged, which has the tendency to push the link 38 away from the side wall 20 to the outside.
  • the container also has a safety device for the legs which is effective in the unfolded position.
  • Two downwardly projecting lugs 56, 5 are arranged on the container bottom 12.
  • the longer extension 56 forms a stop to limit the unfolding movement of the leg.
  • it forms a latching opening 60 which tapers conically upwards and is arranged above the pivot 46 of the actuating element 44.
  • On this or on the pivot pin a locking cam 62 is arranged, which rests on the long extension 56 when the legs are folded out and is located below the locking opening.
  • the container works as follows:
  • the container 10 is, as mentioned, on the edge 24 of the container base 12 or is 30.3? held.
  • the connecting member 38 with the grip part 36 is in its lowest position relative to the side walls, and the locking device 50, 52 prevents the legs from unfolding because their locking part 50 and their pawl part 52 engage behind one another.
  • the resilient element 54 presses the connecting member 38 with the pawl part 52 away from the side wall 20 or from the locking part 50.
  • the securing device for the unfolded legs is combined with the locking device for the folded legs. It has a pawl part 70 which is arranged on a pawl lever 72 which is articulated on the handle part 36.
  • This latch lever interacts with the locking part 74 both when the legs are folded out and in, and can be deflected against the force of a resilient element 76 into a position in which the connecting member 38 is displaced, under the effect of the weight of the legs when unfolding or under pressure on the handle part 36 when folding, is possible.
  • the recess 48 for the pivot 46 is circular in this case and of the approaches there is only the longer approach 56, which serves as a stop for the locking cam 62 to limit the leg movement. 3 and 4 corresponding parts are provided with the same reference symbols.
  • a flexible element 80 for example a rope
  • a flexible element 80 can also be provided according to FIGS. 7 and 8, which is connected on the one hand to the handle part 36 and on the other hand to the actuating member 44, which in turn is designed as an eccentric lever .
  • the handle part is when the NEN 24 in its lower position, with a catch lug 82 of the grip part 36 engaging in a catch hook 84 on the side wall 20.
  • the catch lug 82 engages in an upper catch hook 86 and, together with the latter, forms the locking device which prevents the legs from unfolding.
  • a roller 92 can also be used as the actuating element, as shown in FIG. 9, to which a leg is attached eccentrically and onto which the flexible element 80 rolls when the leg is folded out and when the legs are folded in. Otherwise, this embodiment corresponds to that of FIGS. 7 and 8.
  • 10 to 12 show a particularly preferred embodiment of one of four bearings for the legs 22 on the container bottom 12, which has a first securing device 94 and a second securing device 96 for securing the legs 24 in the unfolded position.
  • the first and the second securing device are offset from one another with respect to the pivot axis 98 of the legs 22 by approximately 180 °.
  • the bearing contains a bearing pin 102, which is connected to the container bottom 12 or its edge 24 projecting downwards via a fastening plate 100 and engages in a bearing bore 104 in a shaft 106 which carries two legs 22. The other end of the shaft 106 is also held with a bearing corresponding to the bearing shown.
  • the first securing device 94 is formed by two flats 108 lying opposite one another on the bearing journal 102, which, when the legs 24 are extended, enable the bearing journal 102 to snap into a lower elongated hole 110, which is arranged in the shaft 106 and opens into the bearing bore 104.
  • the second securing device 96 has a hole 112 opposite the elongated hole 110 in the wall of the bearing bore 104.
  • FIG. 12 shows the position when the leg 22 is folded in and with the first and second securing devices 94, 96 disengaged, the bearing pin 102 being located in the bearing bore 104.
  • the bearing of FIGS. 10 to 12 is equipped with a spring device 116, which facilitates the folding of the legs and, when the legs are extended, promotes and holds the engagement of the safety devices 94, 96.
  • the spring device has a circumferential spring 118, for example a rubber ring, which is held above the bearing on a holder 120 on the container bottom 12 and is laid down around the housing 122 of the bearing bore 104 and the elongated hole 110.
  • Guide grooves 124, 126, 128 on the bearing journal 102, on the housing 122 and on the holder 120 prevent the spring 118 from sliding off.
  • an eccentric engagement point 130 is obtained which is arranged in the direction of the leg 22 at a distance from the bearing is.
  • the holder 120 is designed such that it protrudes in the direction of the folded leg 22 with respect to the vertical axis 132 of the bearing.
  • This design of the spring device 116 brings the securing devices 94, 96 into engagement, as can be seen from FIG. 10 and on the other hand, gives the leg 22 a force component which supports the folding movement when folding in, as can be seen from FIG. 12.
  • the legs By means of the actuator and under the influence of gravity, the legs must then be folded out against the force of the spring and secured by means of the securing device.
