Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container element made of plastic.
  • the container elements according to the invention are, in particular, separable elements which form the bottom, the lid and the side walls of a box-shaped container and can be assembled to form the container. They are used for the packaging, transport and exhibition of sales goods, especially food and beverages.
  • the invention also relates to container elements which themselves form a container.
  • the containers formed from container elements are stacked one above the other for transport and storage in a known manner, the bottom surfaces being able to be arranged congruently to one another or transversely to one another. Since the new containers are also used for sale as display boxes, it often happens that the individual boxes are also inclined. There is therefore a need to secure the containers or container elements against slipping against one another or even slipping off.
  • US-A-3 616 943 which proposes a stackable body according to the preamble of claim 1 with upper and lower surfaces, said surfaces containing groups of bulges arranged in rows so that when stacked the Bodies snap these rows into one another, the bulges of a row being arranged axially between the bulges of a row and being offset with respect to these.
  • the rows are parallel and the bulges are evenly spaced.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to create a container or a container element by means of which not only slipping of containers or of container elements is formed Containers, especially in the case of mixed stacking with cardboard boxes, are prevented but at the same time labeling information can be conveyed.
  • the measures according to the invention which provide open areas in the nub fields in the form of nub-free areas which are designed in the shape of symbols or letters, convey an additional marking function in a very simple and effective manner in addition to the anti-slip function.
  • knobs are expediently arranged in the corner areas of the respective surfaces. If the center line symmetry or center point symmetry is observed, it is ensured that when stacking and stacking containers on top of each other, knob fields are on top of each other or lie against one another. This prevents the containers from sliding against each other, even if they are on an inclined plane or are arranged at an angle for sale. Furthermore, according to the invention, a safety function is achieved because the arrangement and configuration of the knobs ensures that only container elements are compatible with the same knob system are, so they can be safely stacked together. When using the knob system on the loading surface of a pallet, only container elements with corresponding corresponding knob systems can be stacked on their base or contact surface.
  • the surfaces of the container elements are often subdivided into a plurality of surfaces, between which there are tracks or grooves for sealing tapes which are looped around the container elements.
  • the studded areas are arranged in the corner areas of the individual surfaces.
  • the dimpled areas are dimensioned and spaced from one another such that at least two dimpled areas always lie or rest on one another if surfaces provided with the dimpled areas lie congruently or transversely to one another.
  • a container formed from the container element according to the invention can thus be stacked as desired.
  • Each pimple field is preferably formed by the arrangement of closely spaced pimples on the container surface. It is advantageously proposed that the knob areas are formed within a rectangular contour, the knobs being arranged either in lines running parallel to the sides of the rectangular contour or in oblique lines. Successive rows are preferably offset from one another, in particular with a gap.
  • the dimpled fields are not arranged in a rectangular contour, but, for example, in a round one, they are arranged parallel or at an angle to a right-angled coordinate system.
  • the knobs are preferably spherical segment-shaped projections, which can also have a hemispherical shape.
  • an anti-slip device is provided in an ideal manner, which acts practically in every direction of movement. Even if the container element provided with the knobs is used as the side surface of a container, the knob fields offer a slip protection against the sliding of adjacent containers. Otherwise, the container elements are used as a bottom or top surface, so that the containers can be stacked accordingly.
  • the knob systems provide a surprising holding effect of stacked containers by the interlocking of the knobs, whereby stacked container elements do not slip against each other even in a considerable inclined position. Even with mixed stacking of plastic and cardboard containers, there is a good hold between the containers.
  • the containers are particularly subject to cleaning regulations, it is advantageously proposed to design the contact edges between the knobs and the container element surface as radii, which results in smooth transitions. Dirt is difficult to settle in these soft transitions, so that the container elements are easy to clean. The radii further reduce the risk of injury.
  • knobs arranged in rectangular contours offer a visually uniform appearance, which is an aesthetic moment that comes into play when the containers formed from the container elements can be used as display boxes.
  • tray-shaped container elements 1 which have two surfaces 2 and 3, two longitudinal edges 4 and 5 and two narrow edges 6 and 7.
  • One of the surfaces is provided as an outer surface 3, the other as an inner surface 2.
  • an outer surface 3 and the longitudinal edges 4, 5 groove-like or track-like depressions 8 are provided for fastening tapes.
  • the container elements are provided with a recess 9 in the lower area, as a result of which the container elements can be stacked one inside the other. Otherwise, the container elements are provided with connecting devices 10 and inside with stiffening elements 11.
  • knobs 12 On the underside of the container 3 there are knobs 12 which, as shown in FIG. 2, have a spherical segment-shaped cross section. As shown in FIG. 1, the knobs 12 are grouped in rectangular knobs that lie essentially within a rectangular contour. The knobs are arranged in rows 14a and 14b, which are advantageously from Row to row are evenly spaced from each other. The knob fields 13 themselves are arranged symmetrically to the surface center lines in the corner regions of the surface 3 of the container.
  • the surface 3 of the container element 1 is divided into two, namely by the fastener tape track 8 along the central axis. Rectangular pimples are therefore arranged in the corner areas of the surfaces formed, symmetrically to the center lines of the respective surface. In a manner not shown, the dimpled fields have open areas according to claim 1.
  • nub fields when they lie against or on top of one another when stacking containers formed from container elements according to the invention. Even if a container element with its surface provided with nubs is placed transversely on another container element, at least two nub fields with parts of their nubs lie one above the other.
