Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a storage receptacle according to the preamble of claim 1 for papers or sheet material, e.g. boxes for collecting periodical journals, letter baskets and the like.
  • a storage receptacle according to the preamble of claim 1 for papers or sheet material, e.g. boxes for collecting periodical journals, letter baskets and the like.
  • the present invention has the object of providing storage receptacles which can be produced by a very simple tool without any laterally movable tool jaws and therefore there is achieved a very cheap receptacle with the aid of the invention.
  • the receptacles are implemented such that two or more receptacles can be pushed into each other within approximately the same volume as is normally required for a single receptacle.
  • Fig. 1 there is shown a periodical journal collector, where 1 denotes the right side wall thereof, 2 denotes its front wall, 3 the bottom, while 4,5,6 and 7 denote four strips or bars delimiting openings 8 - 12.
  • the side wall 1 has a wider part 13 closest to the front wall 2 and a similarly wide part 14 closest to the lower rear wall of the collector.
  • apertures 15 and 16 In the upper part of the front wall 2 there are apertures 15 and 16 for facilitating removal of the collector from such as a bookshelf. It will also be seen from Fig.
  • the front wall 2 has a lesser width 17 along its middle part for a distance corresponding to the openings 18 in both side walls, so that the edges of this narrower width 17 are somewhat spaced from the plane of the inner surface of the side wall 1.
  • the different strips or bars 4,5,6 and 7 are inclined at an angle 19 to the front wall 2 of the collector and have their delimiting edges substantially parallell.
  • the inner part or "half" of a tool for moulding the collector forms the inner surfaces of it, and the outer half of it has wide parts forming the openings 8 - 12 and 18 by direct engagement against the inner half. These parts are defined by parallell edges, although these edges can have a certain amount of rake to facilitate pulling off at the angle 19 to the front of the collector, this angle being that at which the openings 8 - 12 and bars 4 - 7 are placed. Both tool halves can thus be entirely without moving parts.
  • the apertures 15 and 16 can also be made in this tool, although they will have somewhat sloping edges, which does not have any importance for their function.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the collector from above with the right hand side wall 1 in Fig. 1, its opposing side wall 1' and front wall 2.
  • the back wall 20 of the collector is also shown, this wall sloping at the same angle 19 as that of the openings 8 - 12 and bars 4 - 7, which is best seen by the sloping rear edge in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates the collector seen directly from below, and the denotations in said Fig. 3 are the same as have been used earlier. There are apertures 21 in the bottom. Such apertures decrease the weight of the material required for the collector, which of course also results in its having a lower cost.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates a group of three collectors, denoted by 22,23,24, which are stacked one inside the other. They are similarly implemented, with the sole essential distinction that the widths 25,26 and 27 of the collectors increase from the collector 22 to the collector 24, see Fig. 5 - 7.
  • the difference in width is approximately twice the wall thickness of the collector on the outside.
  • more or less than three collectors can be implemented such that they can be thrust one into the other.
  • the fact that the collectors that can be stacked one inside the other have somewhat different widths lacks any great importance in practice, since it is more a question of appearance when the collectors are placed side by side on a shelf, for example. The difference between two such collectors is so small that it is hardly spontaneously observed.
  • Fig. 5 is a view in the direction of the arrow V in Fig. 4 of the smallest of the collectors in Fig. 4, and the outside width of the collector is denoted by 25.
  • Fig. 6 illustrates the middle one of the collectors in Fig. 4 seen from the front, and with its outside width being denoted by the numeral 26.
  • Fig. 7 illustrates in the same way as Fig. 6 the largest of the collectors, with its outside width denoted by 27.
  • Fig. 8 illustrates a collector 28 of the same principle embodiment as the one in Fig. 1.
  • the collector 28 has three strips or bars 29,30,31 and an aperture 32, the latter being a finger grip for removing the collector from a shelf. This aperture can also be achieved with the aid of a tool not having moving parts.
  • Fig. 8 also illustrates the recesses 33,34,35 and 36 made in the plane of the collector bottom.
  • Fig. 9 illustrates a collector 37 with an embodiment including a front higher part 38 and a rear lower part 39. Both parts each have two side openings having recesses 38,39,40,and 41 in the plane of the bottom, and made by the outstanding parts of the outside half of the tool.
  • Fig. 10 illustrates a periodical journal collector 42 with a different appearance, primarily with regard to the implementation of its side walls, which have openings 43 with curved defining edges 44, both ends of which extend to the bottom of the collector and have a configuration such that the front and rear tangents 45,46 to the curved line at the bottom are parallell to the defining edge 47 of an opening 48 in each side wall of the collector and adjacent its front wall. All these lines 45,46 and 47 have the same angle 49 to the front wall of the collector 42, with the object of enabling the tool forming the openings 43 to open in the direction determined by the angle 49 when the collector is ready-moulded in the tool.
  • Fig. 10 also shows a long recess 50 in the plane of the bottom of the collector between the edges of the opening 43 at the tengents 45 and 46.
  • the side opening 43 can also be given a shape such that its tangents 45 and 46 converge, i.e. they have an intersection point above the bottom of the collector. The releasing angles in the injection moulding tool will thus be greater and the ready-moulded collector is easier to remove from the tool. It is also obvious that the angle 51 for the upper defining edge of the side wall must not be greater than the angle 49.
