Definitions

  • Storage boxes also called display boxes, are containers that are used in different, graduated sizes and are used in a warehouse to store appropriate items.
  • the storage boxes are either simply placed on a shelf, hung with their rear end face on a wall, or, if they are stackable, stacked on top of each other.
  • a special property of storage boxes is that a clear view of each box is possible from the front without this z. B. pull out of a shelf.
  • the front container opening allows easy filling and removal of the goods.
  • the containers are primarily made of plastic. However, designs in sheet steel, light metal or wood are also known. Clear storage, especially of small parts, is possible due to the different colored designs of the storage boxes.
  • the containers are also built with a load capacity of up to one ton; in this size they can usually be palletized. Versions are known in each size that can be stacked empty to save space.
  • a disadvantage of the known stackable storage boxes is that when empty they can either be placed one inside the other or only stacked one on top of the other. Those that can be stacked inside one another to save space cannot be stacked with content on top of one another without endangering the content. Storage of boxes that can be stacked on top of one another without exerting a stack pressure on the contents requires a great deal of space, which is particularly true for the transport and storage of unused boxes.
  • German Offenlegungsschrift DE-A-3 816 515 proposes a stack lock which is connected to the walls of the plastic container by a hinge. These joints need pivot pins, which makes the device expensive and prone to failure. The swivel path protrudes beyond the surface of the storage boxes, so that there is a risk that the lock will get caught in intermediate positions and be damaged during operation.
  • a joint construction is also known from the French publication FR-A-2 638 714, which is also provided with a lid.
  • US Pat. No. 4,241,831 also provides folding joints with physically designed steering axles in order to create a support lock. While maintaining the possibility of space-saving stacking in the empty state and making safe, stable stacking available from several filled units, the object of the present invention is to create a stackable storage box that can be stacked with boxes of the same size, the previously created Standardization for storage boxes can be maintained. That is, the storage boxes equipped according to the present invention are intended be compatible with conventional storage boxes without the additional equipment.
  • flaps are provided at the top in the side walls of a stackable storage bin, which fold inwards to form support for undersides and fold outwards to form space for side panels of further storage bin.
  • a particular advantage of this solution is that the outer and inner dimensions of the storage boxes do not have to be changed compared to known standard sizes.
  • each side wall which can also be arranged in corresponding bulges.
  • These bulges which cause the side walls to be profiled, increase the strength and stability of a storage display case.
  • the bulges can also have a nose at their bottom end, the dimensions of which are selected such that they engage in the folded flaps of a storage box located underneath when stacked storage boxes.
  • the boxes stacked one above the other are locked together so that they cannot slip and the stability of a stack is not impaired even from a large number of boxes standing one above the other.
  • the flaps are preferably provided with latching lugs which permit defined folding or unfolding and locking in these two states.
  • the flaps themselves can have a U-profile in plan view, the short leg being on the inside of the container, and as a counter bearing for a nose A bulge is used at the bottom end.
  • the flaps in plan view can also be designed in the form of a double-T profile, the middle leg providing a more stable fixation of the side legs and an additional web being provided on the inside of the profile, in which the nose of a bulge rests.
  • the flaps can be made of the same plastic and connected to the side walls by a film hinge.
  • FIG. 1 shows such a storage box 10, the longitudinal side two side walls 12, a rear wall 14 and a front opening 22.
  • Bulges 16 are formed in the side walls, which increase the stability and strength as a result of profiling. In each of these bulges there is a flap 18, which is shown folded into the box in FIG. 1.
  • Fig. 2 shows two stacked storage boxes.
  • the lugs 20 at the bottom ends of the bulges 16 of the upper box rest in the flaps 18 of the lower box.
  • the flaps 18 have a film hinge 100, via which they can be easily pivoted back and forth.
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional illustration along the line III-III in FIG. 2. From this drawing, the shape of the nose 20 is particularly clear, as well as its engagement with the flap 18 of a storage case 10 located underneath.
  • the film hinge 100 forms the transition from the flap 18 to the bulge 16 of a side wall 12.
  • Fig. 4 shows two nested storage boxes 10. From this illustration it is particularly clear that the space required for storage is significantly less due to the possibility of stacking empty storage boxes.
  • Fig. 5 again shows the cross-sectional view corresponding to Fig. 3, in this case along the line VV in Fig. 4.
  • the flap 18 of the lower box is shown in the swung-out state, so that the upper storage box is up to a corresponding step 24 can be placed below the film hinge 100 in the lower one.
  • the flaps 18 of the respective lower box must be pivoted out, as shown in FIG. 5. So that all flaps 18 of a storage box 10 can be swiveled in and out easily and quickly, the flaps are for both positions with respective Provide latches.
  • FIG. 6 Such a flap is shown in FIG. 6 seen from outside the box.
  • the flap has a U-shaped profile in plan view with side parts 150 and a wide connecting web 160.
  • the film hinge 100 is shown at the lower end of the flap.
  • first latching lugs 110 for the pivoted-out state shown, and also second latching lugs 120 opposite a stop 122 for the pivoted-in state.
  • the wide connecting web (160) serves as an abutment for one nose (20) at the bottom ends of the bulges (16).
  • Fig. 7 shows an alternative embodiment of a flap 18, which has a double-T profile in plan view.
  • the side parts 150 are connected by a central wall 170, in which case an additional web 180 is provided in the upper region of the flap, into which the nose of an upper box can be inserted.
  • the side walls surrounding the flap are not shown in this case.
  • a film hinge 100 is again provided here.
  • the respective latches in the folded or unfolded state take place by means of first latching lugs 130 or second latching lugs 140 with opposing latching lugs 142, which each engage with corresponding parts of the side wall of the box adjoining above.
  • This embodiment of a flap can be particularly advantageous with large storage boxes if the weight of the lower boxes is particularly high.
  • the central wall 170 and the additional web 180 provide greater stability and strength.
