Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container system with containers and with at least one pallet.
  • Such a container system preferably uses at least one box-like plastic container with two end frame parts and a longitudinal part of the container which can be attached between the end frame parts and forms the bottom part and the side walls and with means for fastening the end frame parts to the longitudinal part of the container, the plastic container on its two opposite end faces as a frame-shaped end wall Fitting with an upper and a lower edge, a pair of parallel side edges connecting these and with a plate-shaped insert made of rigid foam, which receive between them a container longitudinal part designed as an extruded profile body made of non-foamed plastic, which has at least two cross-sections running in its longitudinal direction has thinner than the remaining region of the longitudinal part, slightly flexible hinge regions along which the container longitudinal part can be bent, and the front frame parts are provided at their upper and lower edges near their corners with projections and recesses which fit into one another in pairs when stacking several identical plastic containers.
  • rigid foams It is known to use rigid foams, rigid foams being understood to be a rigid foam which is characterized in that that it shows a low elastic deformability with a relatively high deformation resistance, a distinction being made here between tough and brittle hard foams.
  • Polystyrene and polyurethane, among others, are proposed as starting materials for the production of rigid foams.
  • no special advice has been given to the material selection for a container or pallet in such a way that the end walls are made of polypropylene, while the longitudinal wall part consists of a non-foamed plastic, since here too very special difficulties in container construction have to be overcome were.
  • a plastic pallet produced by injection molding ranges from a large pallet consisting of one part to pallets made from a large number of identical parts.
  • An example of a one-piece plastic pallet is described in US Patent 3,636,888 to Angelbeck.
  • An example of a two-part large-capacity pallet in which two parts are connected by vibration welding is described in French Patent 2,387,850.
  • a Another approach is to create a series of differently shaped connected parts that are assembled to build pallets of different sizes from small to very large.
  • One such pallet using snap-in parts is described in U.S. Patent 3,307,504.
  • An example of a pallet with brackets for connecting each part is described in German laid-open specification 2.241.289.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a plastic container and a related pallet system, in which the individual container is deformation-resistant even under thermal stress, has a permanent connection between the components, is easy to stack and inexpensive to manufacture, and one or more containers if necessary can be combined to form a unit in conjunction with a specially designed pallet.
  • This design of the container makes it possible to combine containers with one another to form a composite and to arrange them on a pallet.
  • Such a plastic container includes a pair of plastic end walls which are attached to the opposite ends of a plastic side wall.
  • Each of these end walls includes a pair of narrow side edges that are spaced apart by a pair of wide, parallel top and bottom side edges.
  • the narrow side edges each have at the opposite ends an upward projection which engages with the recesses of an adjacent container when the containers are stacked vertically one above the other.
  • Each of these upward projections also defines a molded, upwardly open groove, the bottom surface of the groove being substantially parallel to the upper edge of the end wall.
  • a further embodiment of the plastic container on which this invention is based comprises a pair of plastic end walls with a plastic longitudinal wall fastened between them.
  • a cover is provided with a pair of end edges arranged at a distance from one another and having a plurality of projections extending outwards.
  • the end walls are each provided with a pair of narrow side edges spaced apart by parallel wide upper and lower side edges, the wide upper edges having at least one upper pin spaced from at least one lower pin, their first faces run parallel to the wide upper edge.
