Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container of a type according to the features of the preamble in claim 1.
  • Such commercially available containers are composed of several sheet metal parts, in which a handle holder and a bow-shaped handle each represent separate components and the handle from a vertically hanging rest position against a stop of its support part is movable into an approximately horizontally to obliquely upwardly projecting functional position.
  • Containers of similar design made of sheet metal or plastic, but without horizontal stiffening ribs on the upper edge, are known from DE-PS 26 55 721 and US-PS 3933269. Both in containers made of sheet metal and in plastic containers of commercial design, recessed handles or grip strips are known as molded handles. In the practical application of all such stackable containers, the removal of the first container from a full stack position is made considerably more difficult by the inaccessibility to the carrying handles, since this first container can only be gripped and lifted with fingertips at opposite, usually rounded corners.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a container of the known type with a handle which, on the one hand, does not impede the stackability of the containers in a horizontal and vertical arrangement with respect to one another, and on the other hand, ergonomically advantageous handling of the containers even when inserting and removing of the last or first container of a stacked layer is ensured without substantially reducing the stiffness of the container secured by the stiffening ribs.
  • the handle fits both in its hanging rest position and in its standing functional position in the free space existing on the respective side wall of the container within of a stack and engages over the stiffening ribs of the individual containers touching each other in the respective recesses adapted to the handle, which require only an insignificant weakening of the stiffening ribs due to the small cross section of the handle.
  • the handles of this container are held in the standing functional position by the abutting upper container edges of the neighboring containers and thus ergonomically best conditions are guaranteed for later removal of the last inserted container as the first container to be removed.
  • At least one carrying handle is then directly accessible on the remaining containers of a stacked layer, and one carrying handle, which is arranged opposite each other, is freely accessible after creating a corresponding space for moving it into the standing functional position.
  • the recesses on the horizontal stiffening ribs arranged under the edge of the container also ensure that carrying handles in the vertical functional position are free from containers located in the stack below.
  • Subclaims 2 to 7 contain further developments of the invention.
  • the features of claim 2 enable a particularly slight weakening of the stiffening ribs on the upper container edge due to the locally flat cross section of the handle.
  • the features of claim 3 create a particularly efficient handle that also uses the spatial advantages in conjunction with the features of claim 2.
  • the features of claim 4 include a one-piece development of the handle according to claim 3 as a sheet metal or plastic component.
  • a particularly simple storage of the handle contain the features of claim 6 in cooperation with vertical stiffening ribs of the container.
  • a stackable transport container 1 essentially consists of a one-piece, externally ribbed plastic molded part 2.
  • a pair of handles 3 is pivotally attached to it by means of a bearing axis 4 between a hanging rest position and a standing functional position.
  • the plastic molded part 2 of the container 1 has a bottom 5 with four slightly obliquely upwardly opening side walls 6, whereby the outer contour of the bottom 5 can be stacked into the inner contour of the upper edge of the container.
  • the side walls 6 of the container 1 have three essentially horizontal stiffening ribs 7, 8 and 9.
  • each side wall 6 between the horizontal ribs 7, 8 and 9 has a plurality of vertical stiffening ribs 10, each in an approximately symmetrical arrangement and close to the approximately vertical connecting edges between the side walls 6.
  • the outer edges of all the ribs 7 to 10 together form an outer contour 11 which determines the lateral outer dimensions of the container 1.
  • the handles 3 each consist of a sheet metal connecting part 12, on the horizontal curls of which are formed in the same direction from the main plane.
  • a curl forms a bearing bush 13 which is penetrated by the bearing axis 4 with bearing play.
  • the second curl forms a clamping fist 14 for an essentially C-shaped wire handle 15 of the carrying handle 3.
  • a positive connection between the handle 15 and the sheet metal connecting part 12 is produced by means of form-fitting flats or welding spots 16.
  • the bearing axis 4 of the handle 3 is arranged directly under the second upper rib 8 such that the bearing bush 13 and the underside of the rib 8 in connection with the bearing play of the bearing bush 13 abut on the bearing axis 4 when the handle 3 is loaded by weight and by direct power transmission relieve the bearing axis 4 itself and its bearing points in bores of the vertical ribs 10.
  • the bearing axis 4 is introduced axially with a tight fit in the bores of the ribs 10, while the bearing bush 13 of the handle 3 is fastened with the aforementioned bearing play and axial fixing between the ribs 10.
  • the bearing axis is relieved of load-bearing forces and stuck in the ribs 10 4 forms an additional stiffening in the upper region of the container 1.
  • the horizontal ribs 7, 8 and 9 have flat edge recesses 17, which enable the vertical functional position of the handles 3 without them protruding beyond the outer contour 11 of the container 1. Due to the particularly flat design of the handle 3 by means of the sheet metal connecting part 12 in the area of the upper ribs 7 and 8, the recesses 17 are also particularly flat at these points and thus the stiffening function of the ribs 7 and 8 is only insignificantly reduced and by the additional Stiffening effect of the bearing axis 4 at least compensated.
  • the lower rib 9 is set back locally so far by a recess 17 that a stacking handle 3 of a lower container, which is in a functional position, projects between the vertical ribs 10 of the upper container 1 during stacking. From Fig. 5 it can be seen that recesses 17 are also arranged on the lower ribs 9 of the longer side walls 6 formed without handles to enable stacking of containers of different sizes, in particular two smaller containers on a double larger.
  • the handle 3 consists essentially of a U-shaped one-piece component 18 made of sheet metal or - preferably fiber-reinforced - plastic.
  • Bearing bushes 13 are formed on each of the U-leg ends 19 of the handle 3 or 18.
  • a hand rest protruding in the same direction as the bearing bushes 13 from the main plane of the component to the side wall 6 is formed on the handle bracket 20.
  • the U-leg ends 19 are flat, so that at this design of the handle 3, the advantages of flat recesses 17 in the upper ribs 7 and 8 are given.
  • FIG. 5 several containers 1 according to the invention are shown stacked next to and on top of each other.
  • the carrying handles 3 protrude within reach from the upper container level in a vertically standing functional position, so that a container 1 located in the middle of the upper stacking layer can also be gripped by its carrying handles 3 and can be removed from the stack in an ergonomically advantageous manner.
  • the handles 3 of the respective lower rows of stacks protrude into the cavities between the side walls 6 and the horizontal and vertical ribs 7, 8, 9 and 10 without their own space requirements, so that the horizontal space requirement of the container 1 is not increased by the handles 3. Since the cavities between the containers 1 widen downward, there is also sufficient space for their lateral overlap when upper hanging and lower carrying handles 3 meet.
