Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for releasably connecting at least two rectangular transport boxes for a number of packs, in particular bottles and containers for liquids, the transport boxes being provided with a bottom and side walls, the latter enclosing an upward opening.
  • the invention lies in the field of transport and storage for small packs of the same format, volume and weight, of which a certain number must be transported and stored.
  • An extensive field of application for such small packs are bottles and other containers for liquids, for the transportation of which bottle crates have become common, which are used in different standard sizes and can each hold a certain number of packs in their compartments.
  • the transport can be handled with mechanical and mechanical means without any problems, but problems arise for the small user, which the manual handling of such transport boxes by inexperienced and especially strong people make it difficult or impossible.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that on the outside of two opposite side walls of each transport box, at least approximately parallel to the side walls, oblique holding rails are arranged, the holding rails being pluggable into one another, so that a positive connection between the two transport boxes is produced.
  • the fact that the connecting means are integrated in the transport boxes means that they can be put together as desired, which optimally meets both the requirements for transporting large units and those of the small user.
  • the rectangular bottle crate 1 shown in FIG. 1 has longitudinal walls 2, 3 and transverse walls 4, 5 placed on a floor that is not visible, which walls enclose an upward opening 6.
  • Reinforced corner pillars are provided on the corner parts of the bottle crate 1, of which the corner pillars visible in FIG. 1 are designated 7, 8, 9 and the invisible corner pillars 10.
  • retaining webs 13 are formed as complementary elements to the holders, which also extend over the height of the longitudinal wall 3 and approach each other against the ground.
  • a transport unit can be put together if the holding webs 13 of one transport box are inserted into the holders 12 of the other transport box, but with Can be separated again into the individual transport boxes as required.
  • the holders 12 form with the retaining webs 13 a positive, hook-shaped connection extending over the height of the longitudinal walls 2, 3, with which the two transport boxes are reliably held together.
  • the transport box shown in Fig. 1 has further features that are not related to the means described above for releasably connecting two transport boxes.
  • the bottle crate 1 is a transport crate made of plastic; the transverse and longitudinal walls 2-5 set back compared to the reinforced corner columns 7-10 have windows 15 and web-shaped reinforcements 16 in the area of the upper edge of the opening.
  • a compartment 17 is indicated in the interior of the transport box 1, but the interior can be solved in various ways.
  • a handle 20 is provided, which is fastened to the bottom of the transport box 1 by means of arms 21.
  • the size of the transport box can also be selected differently. For example, six one-liter bottles can be accommodated in a transport box, three bottles being accommodated on each side of the handle.
  • This transport box is a handy device with which the manual transport can be carried out without difficulty in terms of both its weight and its dimensions. Any number of transport boxes can be put together for mechanical and mechanical transport. It is of course possible that the means for releasably connecting the transport units 1 can also be arranged on the transverse walls 4, 5. In this case, the holders 12 and the holding webs 13 are arranged on both sides of each corner column.
  • the means for releasably connecting two transport boxes are shown in different variants, only the region of a longitudinal wall 2 of one transport box A being shown with the longitudinal wall 3 of the second transport box B.
  • the holders 12 and the holding webs 13 form part of an upside down trapezoid.
  • the arrangement of the holders 12 and the holding webs 13 in the form of a standing trapezoid is also conceivable.
  • the application of one or the other arrangement depends primarily on the shape of the transport box. If corner pillars 7-10 are provided with increasing reinforcement towards the floor, the arrangement of the brackets and webs 12, 13 in the form of the reverse trapezoid offers itself, since the corner pillar and brackets then run in the same direction.
  • the retainers 12 are directed outwards, the retaining surface 11 of the retaining groove 12 interacting with the retaining surface 14 of the retaining webs 13 directed inwards.
  • the holding surfaces 11, 14 here form a hook which forms the positive connection. This hooking is also present in the other variants according to FIGS. 2-5.
  • the holders 12 and the holding webs 13 are arranged in the same way as in FIG. 2. There is only the difference that the holding surfaces 11, 14 of the holding webs and grooves extend on both sides of the vertical contact plane 25 of the transport boxes A, B, so that the holding webs 13 projecting over their entire length in FIG. 2 are only half opposite the surfaces the corner pillars 7, 10 protrude.
  • the holding surfaces 11 of the holders 12 are directed towards one another, while the holding webs 13 are directed outwards.
  • This is the solution that is also shown in FIG. 1. So that the transport box B can be separated from the transport box A by lifting, the holding web is widened towards the opening edge to such an extent that the part of the holding webs near the ground can be extended.
  • the boundary surface 18, as can also be seen from FIG. 1, runs essentially vertically, so that the holding groove 12 widens upwards.
  • the transport boxes A, B are relatively thin-walled, for example made of a metallic material al or a plastic.
  • the longitudinal wall 2 is a plate of the same wall thickness, at the ends of which the holding surfaces 11 are formed as part of a hook-shaped extension 22 of the transverse walls 4, 5.
  • the holding surfaces 14 are provided here at the ends of the longitudinal wall 3 of the transport box B. 5, the hook-shaped, form-fitting connection of the holding webs to the holding channel 12, 13 is clearly visible. However, this hook-shaped connection is also present in FIGS. 2-4, even if the hook shape is not so clearly recognizable there.
  • the holders 12 do not need to weaken the box structure if it is arranged essentially in the area of the reinforced corner pillars 7-10.
  • the corner columns 7-10 can still be designed so that the filled transport boxes are stackable.
