Definitions

  • the invention relates to a case for receiving and Transport of objects, especially tools and working materials, from at least two elements that have at least a hinge are hinged together and of which a lower element as a recording room for recording and to transport the items and an upper element as Lid is formed for the lower element, the case at least one locking device for locking the Has elements in the folded state, in a modular manner assembled suitcase each designed as a recording room Element is a module of a module system which is based on one of other modules of the module system is stackable, everyone Module at least one base shell with a bottom and one has circumferential side shell, and the side shell two side walls, one front wall and one with hinge sleeves provided back wall and also the elements with guided Connecting rods are connected to each other the relative positions of the elements in the open position determine each other.
  • a case of this type is, for example, from FR-A-335595 known.
  • tool cases of this type are diverse Form and design known. As a rule, it is about such tool cases around a simple case shell, which is covered by a lid, the content of the Case shell is accessible after lifting the lid.
  • This Cases can be molded from metal or plastic however very limited in their function.
  • the used Means e.g. connecting rods
  • the used Means that determine the relative positions determine the elements in the open state to each other, are functionally mostly unsatisfactory. It also says a single fixed position of a handle relative available for the recording room and hinge parts are not easy to use.
  • the present invention is based on the object to develop a case of the type mentioned, which does not have these disadvantages, variable in its function, in his recording room, preferably under approximate Maintaining balance on the handle is expandable, and where the content is easily accessible to the user.
  • the case consists of modules, which as required stackable and connectable or easily detachable are connected, so as a modular system as desired at any time an expansion or reduction of the entire available recording space can take place.
  • the side walls, the back wall and the front wall are double-walled, with an outer skin and an inner skin enclose a surrounding inner chamber.
  • This inner chamber serves to accommodate other modular elements Extension of the case.
  • In the inner chamber of the A sliding track is used for each side wall, which with a slider on a connecting rod to the next one Module interacts.
  • This slide track is special trained and overall serves the easy use of the Case while being easy to assemble and modular Extension of the case allowed. It is essential that the lid or module relative to the following underlying module without attacking the connecting rod opened, held in the open position and closed again can be. This happens because at least two positions of two modules working together can be determined by the glider and connecting rod.
  • the spring tongue can come from the wall, for example formed by punching or the like be. When inserting the hinge part into the inner chamber the spring tongue snaps into the end position of the Hinge part behind the latch.
  • the glider runs on the guideway into the recess, in which position then the relevant overhead Element, i.e. the lid or another module, in the open position is held.
  • To return the element to its rest position now only needs to raise the element a little further to get the glider out of the recess, after which he falls behind the recess and along a base strip described in more detail below can slide back until it reaches the elastic strip and there through the elastic strip and the guideway formed slot wedges so that it can then again comes to rest above the guideway.
  • This is extremely simple sequence of movements that can be accomplished with just one hand can be, with only that overhead Element that is actually being moved is attacked should, i.e. the lid or another module.
  • the as a rising surface trained guideway inclines into the recess and it forms an abutment for the glider, during the substrip along with the above Baseline a path to return the glider to its Limited rest position.
  • the glide strip is located approximately in the level of the guideway and then bends to the curb down.
  • the slot mentioned above is close to this kink formed with the end of the guideway. Usually points the slot has a width that is smaller in any case than the diameter of the glider. So the glider runs, if it is above the guideway or on the sliding strip is across this slot. However, he does come from below, guided on the curb, to the slot, so this slot limits its movement until the slot has opened to a width that the slider can drive through the slot.
  • the base strip runs below the guideway and also below the recess, so that if it falls out or sliding the glider out of the locking recess of the glider can fall this base strip and then along this Base strip is performed.
  • the glider can be comfortable can be introduced into the guideway, on the other hand if desired, he can be removed from the guideway, to separate one element from the other.
  • the second catch runs away from the cover strip to together with the other Hook to form the passage for returning the glider, and it ensures that the slider after it is moved beyond the locking recess into the culvert, now slide back slightly in the opposite direction can, and that in the extension of the guideway beyond the

  • the glider has to push the security strip away to pass through the bottleneck to come out of the recess or, if necessary also get into the recessed recess.
  • the columns consist of a tower-like wall.
  • the Handle can be attached to any module of the case the undercuts Groove inserted and the remaining groove openings be closed by compensating pieces. Another difference between the height of the projections on the handle and the undercut groove can be compensated by compensating pieces will.
  • the advantage of these measures is that the carrying handle on any module and on it using compensating pieces can be used at any altitude, so that the carrying handle is optimally above the expected Center of gravity of the loaded case can be arranged and the case spontaneously maintains an acceptable position when carried. By mounting on a selected module the carrying handle can be roughly positioned, and by means of the compensating pieces the carrying handle can also be finely positioned will.
  • the latch is attached to a bat-shaped plate, which are inserted from below into a column and is fixed for example by screws.
  • Main part of the Riegel is a bolt body that is shaped like a segment of a circle is. This bolt body sits at one end by means of a pivot pin in a pivot hole, being around this Pivot pin can rotate in the pivot hole.
  • This spring leg causes that an opposite stop edge of the bolt body strikes another rib, so that the bolt body is held between these two ribs but can move against the force of the spring leg.
  • This Movement is brought about by a sliding bar, which is located on the outside of the column, but after reaching around one Bottom of the column and reaching through an arch segment in the plate with the bolt body in connection. This arc segment is also the rest of the locking hook penetrated.

This allows the slider 8 to slide through the slot 22 and return to its rest position I in this way. After this Passage of the slider 8 through the slot 22 closes this again up to the width b, so that the slider 8 when opening or lifting the top of the two elements from lower can slide over this slot 22 and not undesirably down through the slot 22 got back.
