Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen quaderförmigen stapelbaren Behälter.The invention relates to a cuboid stackable container.

Behälter dieser Art sind in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen bekannt und dienen je nach ihrer besonderen Ausbildung entweder der Aufnahme von festen oder der Speicherung von flüssigen Stoffen. Derartige Behälter müssen besonderen Sicherheitsanforderungen genügen und daher bei stabiler Konstruktion stoßfest ausgebildet sein.Containers of this type are known in different embodiments and, depending on their particular design, serve either to absorb solid or to store liquid substances. Such containers must meet special safety requirements and must therefore be designed to be shockproof with a stable construction.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen quaderförmigen stapelbaren Behälter zu schaffen, der bei einfacher stabiler und stoßfester Konstruktion sowohl die Speicherung von festen als auch von flüssigen Stoffen bei einfacher Handhabung ermöglicht.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a cuboid stackable container which, with a simple, stable and shockproof construction, enables both solid and liquid substances to be stored with simple handling.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einem Behälter der gattungsgemäßen Art durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved in a container of the generic type by the characterizing features of patent claim 1.

Aus der DE-OS 34 32 830 sind Behälter nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 2 bekannt, die sich je nach ihrer Ausgestaltung entweder zur Aufbewahrung von festen oder von flüssigen Stoffen eignen. Die gestellte Aufgabe wird in besonders vorteilhafter Art bei Behältern dieser Art durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 2 gelöst.From DE-OS 34 32 830 containers are known according to the preamble of claim 2, which, depending on their design, are suitable either for storing solid or liquid substances. The object is achieved in a particularly advantageous manner in containers of this type by the characterizing features of claim 2.

Der Deckel dieses erfindungsgemäßen Behälters weist ein dieses aussteifendes hohles Randprofil auf, das durch die Abkantung der lappenartigen Fortsätze in wesentlichen Teilen mit dem Deckel einstückig ist. Die Herstellung des Deckels aus Abkantzuschnitten vereinfacht und verbilligt nicht nur die Konstruktion, es wird auch ein umlaufendes Hohlprofil gebildet, das ebenso wie das Bodenprofil und das Randprofil des Behälters dessen gute Stabilität und Stoßfestigkeit gewährleistet. Denn sollte der Behälter von einem Transportfahrzeug herabfallen oder aus anderen Gründen stürzen, fällt er immer auf eines seiner die Außenkanten schützenden Hohlprofile, die sich, ohne die Behälterwandungen zu gefährden, verformen können und dadurch Stoßenergien aufzehren und von den Behälterwandungen beschädigungsfrei fernhalten.The lid of this container according to the invention has a stiffening hollow edge profile, which is integral with the lid due to the folding of the tab-like extensions. The production of the lid from folded edges not only simplifies and reduces the cost of the construction, it also forms a circumferential hollow profile which, like the bottom profile and the edge profile of the container, ensures its good stability and impact resistance. Because if the container falls off a transport vehicle or falls for any other reason, it always falls on one of its hollow profiles that protect the outer edges, which can deform without endangering the container walls, thereby consuming impact energy and keeping it away from the container walls without damage.

Werden in dem Behälter Flüssigkeiten gespeichert, läßt sich diese durch die in dem Deckel vorgesehene Öffnung einfüllen, die durch einen weiteren Deckel verschließbar ist. Sollte der Behälter nicht durch einfaches Absaugen wieder entleert werden können, weil beispielsweise die Flüssigkeit feste Rückstände enthält oder feste Bestandteile in den Behälter eingefüllt worden sind, läßt sich der dichtend auf dem Behälterrandprofil anliegende Deckel abnehmen, so daß sodann zur Entleerung der gesamte Behälterquerschnitt zur Verfügung steht.If liquids are stored in the container, these can be filled through the opening provided in the lid, which can be closed by a further lid. If the container cannot be emptied again simply by suction, for example because the liquid contains solid residues or solid constituents have been poured into the container, the cover sealingly resting on the container edge profile can be removed, so that the entire container can then be emptied Container cross section is available.

Um die rückstandslose und saubere Entleerung zu gewährleisten, kann in den Behälter ein Plastikbeutel eingelegt werden, der ein Plastikinlett bildet, das sich bei dem Entleeren des Behälters herausnehmen läßt und gewährleistet, daß die Behälterinnenwandungen mit den gespeicherten Materialien überhaupt nicht in Berührung kommen.In order to ensure the residue-free and clean emptying, a plastic bag can be inserted into the container, which forms a plastic insert that can be removed when the container is emptied and ensures that the inner walls of the container do not come into contact with the stored materials at all.

Der erfindungsgemäße Behälter läßt sich somit nicht nur universell einsetzen, er weist aufgrund seiner hohlen Randprofile auch stoßsichere Knautschzonen auf.The container according to the invention can thus not only be used universally, it also has shockproof crumple zones due to its hollow edge profiles.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist der obere Schenkel des Behälterrandprofils mit einer umlaufenden, eine Dichtkante bildenden Sicke versehen. Die nach innen weisenden Schenkel des L-förmigen Profils können über ihren Verbindungsbereich mit den Deckelseitenkanten hinaus verlängert sein, wobei die verlängerten Teile zur Bildung einer umlaufenden Aufnahmenut für den Dichtungsring im Bereich der Deckelseitenkanten rechtwinkelig zur Deckelebene und im Abstand von den Deckelseitenkanten nach außen abgekantet sind.The upper leg of the container edge profile is expediently provided with a circumferential bead which forms a sealing edge. The inward-pointing legs of the L-shaped profile can be extended beyond their connection area with the cover side edges, the extended parts being bent at right angles to the cover plane and at a distance from the cover side edges to form a circumferential receiving groove for the sealing ring in the area of the cover side edges .

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß das L-förmige Profil zur Bildung eines Hohlflansches zwischen seinen Schenkeln im Abstand voneinander mit rechtwinkeligen Abwinkelungen nach außen, unten und innen versehen ist. Die Eckbereiche des Deckels können mit dessen Deckelrandprofil überragenden Winkelstücken verschweißt sein, die Haltestücke für Fußstücke gestapelter Behälter bilden.According to an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the L-shaped profile to form a hollow flange between its legs at a distance from each other is provided with right-angled bends outwards, downwards and inwards. The corner regions of the lid can be welded to the corner pieces which protrude from the lid edge profile and form the holding pieces for foot pieces of stacked containers.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß der erste Deckel in seinem mittleren Bereich mit einer kreisförmigen Öffnung versehen ist, in die domförmig ein Ring mit L-Profil eingeschweißt ist, dessen oberer nach außen weisender Schenkel den Dichtrand für den runden, schwenkbar gehalterten und durch mit Klemmstücken versehene Spannschrauben in seiner Verschlußstellung fixierten Deckel bildet.According to an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the first cover is provided in its central region with a circular opening, into which a ring with an L-profile is welded in the shape of a dome, the upper leg pointing outwards forms the sealing edge for the round, pivotally held and fixed in its closed position by clamping screws provided with clamping screws in its closed position.

Auch diese Ausgestaltung entspricht der Ausgestaltung des oberen Behälterrandprofils, die in der DE-OS 34 32 830 anhand der Fig. 4 bis 6 beschrieben worden ist. Der obere Schenkel 9 des U-förmigen Randprofils ist jedoch mit einer nach oben gewölbten umlaufenden Sicke 11 versehen, die eine Dichtkante für den Dichtring 12 aus Gummi oder elastomerem Material des Behälterdeckels 13 bildet. Weiterhin ist in das umlaufende Randprofil 8 ein Verstärkungsblech 14 eingeschweißt. Schließlich sind die Schenkel 9, 10 in den außen liegenden Bereichen des Behälterrandprofils 8 mit fluchtenden Bohrungen 15, 16 für Spannschrauben 17 versehen.The upper edge region of the container is stiffened by a circumferential U-shaped container edge profile 8, the inwardly directed legs 9, 10 of which are welded to the upper regions of the side walls 4 to 7. This configuration also corresponds to the configuration of the upper container edge profile, which has been described in DE-OS 34 32 830 with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. The upper leg 9 of the U-shaped edge profile is, however, provided with an upwardly curved circumferential bead 11, which forms a sealing edge for the sealing ring 12 made of rubber or elastomeric material of the container lid 13. Furthermore, a reinforcing plate 14 is welded into the peripheral edge profile 8. Finally, the legs 9, 10 are provided in the outer regions of the container edge profile 8 with aligned bores 15, 16 for clamping screws 17.
