Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug-in container box made of plastic, which consists of a container box element and a hinged removable lid and can be stacked both with a closed lid and empty without a lid, in the latter case the folded lid in a above the bottom surface of the associated container box element remaining storage space is accommodated.
  • Reusable boxes of this type are used in the assembly, internal transport, storage, picking and shipping or external transport of goods both by the manufacturer and by wholesalers, and also for the storage, provision and display of goods in sales and delivery rooms .
  • plug-in container boxes provided they are thin-walled boxes, do not have the dimensional stability required to fulfill the above-mentioned tasks. If the plug-in container boxes offer sufficient dimensional stability, this is achieved by using a relatively large wall thickness and thus at the expense of the weight of the box, which leads to high freight costs.
  • this object is achieved in that the side walls of the container box element are retracted in three stages from the box edge to the box bottom and that two horizontally circumferential receiving strips are provided on the side walls.
  • vertical reinforcement fields are arranged in the corner areas of the container box element on the inside, which in addition to the effect of the multi-stage design of the side walls and the formation of the two mounting strips, further stiffening of the box is achieved and a higher load can be absorbed when the boxes are stacked.
  • the three stepped surface sections so that they each have approximately the same wall height. Furthermore, it is favorable to form the one receiving bar in the form of an edge receiving bar as the end edge of the container box element and to provide the second receiving bar as a side receiving bar at the level of the shoulder between the upper and the middle surface section of the side walls. In this way, when stacking empty container box elements, the side receiving bar of the upper container box element lies on the edge receiving bar of the lower container box element. In this way, a container box element is inserted into an underlying container box element to approximately two thirds of its side wall height, and thus a volume-saving stacking of empty plug-in container boxes is achieved. The removed and folded lid can be accommodated in the stacked container in the remaining storage space above the box bottom of the associated container box element.
  • the described embodiment of the two circumferential receiving strips also enables a plurality of container box elements stacked one inside the other to be accommodated, since a sufficiently large space remains between two respective side and edge receiving strips for inserting a corresponding receiving device.
  • This inclusion of stacked container box elements can e.g. with a forklift or from above e.g. with a gripping harness. It is therefore not necessary to pick up all of the stacked container box elements at once. This preferred embodiment thus leads to very good logistical handling options for the plug-in container box.
  • the three-stage retracted design of the container box element offers sufficient space for the fingertips between goods stacked in multiple layers in the container box element and the inner walls, so that the box can be filled or emptied manually from above.
  • Soft-shaped transitions between the steps of the side walls reduce the risk of injury for the personnel when filling manually and enable safe loading of the goods with automatic filling, since they cannot get caught on the step transitions.
  • soft transitions facilitate the cleaning of the side walls of the container box element.
  • one or more removable side wall inserts are provided, so that the plug-in container box is better suited for the presentation of goods in sales and delivery rooms.
  • the formation of a side wall insert is possible on each of the four side walls of the container box element.
  • the side wall insert can be positively connected to the side wall of the container box element, thereby protecting the contents of the box from splash water and dust.
  • the side wall insert is non-positively lockable with the side wall, so that the power transmission between the container box element and the mounting strips of the removable side panel insert is guaranteed.
  • the locking device is designed so that it can also be operated automatically.
  • the side wall insert can also have viewing windows made of transparent plastic for quick visual inspection of the goods in the box.
  • the profile of the edge receiving bar in a U-shape and to provide the top of the side receiving bar with a suitable groove, or to form on the top of the side receiving bar a slope that slopes towards the center of the box, which interacts with the underside of the edge receiving bar, thereby a removed side wall insert can be hung on the outside of a closed side wall of the container box element with the edge receiving bar in the groove or on the slope of the container-side side bar.
  • This suspension device can also be combined with a clamping device for better fixing the suspended side wall insert.
  • a right-hander can hang in the side wall insert on the right and a left-hander on the left.
  • several stops can be arranged all round on the side mounting bar, so that a secure fixation of a suspended side wall insert is ensured even when the container box element is inclined, e.g. in the presentation of goods.
  • a further embodiment of the invention is that the lid has two lid halves that can be folded so that at least the two upper sides of the lid halves can abut one another. The folded tops of the lid halves can then be locked together.
  • at least one lid locking nose can be formed on the top of a lid half, which for Locking device snaps into a suitable recess in the other half of the cover.
  • four locking cams can be arranged at the four corners of the top of the lid, which are alternately designed as single or double cams, so that a single cam snaps into a double cam to lock the folded-together lid halves.
  • the folded lids can be stowed on the bottom of the associated box when stacking empty container box elements, without the stacking of the container box elements being impaired thereby.
  • clamping strips at least on the two opposite edges of the cover parallel to the folding axis, and to form clamping grooves at least on the two matching, opposite edges of the container box element, which cooperate with the clamping strips of the cover.
  • the lid which is folded and locked with the upper sides, can be fastened with the clamping strips of one half of the lid in the associated clamping grooves of the container box element, the cover then covering half the opening of the container box element.
  • the described design of the container box edge with clamping grooves at least on the two edges parallel to the lid folding axis, the clamping grooves arranged on these two edges being oriented towards the center of the box, and the matching clamping strips on the lid edges leads to an advantageous manner of folding when closing the box.
  • the opposite clamping strips of the lid which are parallel to the folding axis, are attached to the corresponding clamping grooves on the edge of the box, the lid being folded like a gable, and then the lid is pressed down in the area of the hinges until it lies flat on the box edge.
  • This mere hanging up and Pressing the lid is a very convenient and easy way of closing.
  • the risk of injury to the operating personnel when closing the plug-in container box is reduced.
  • the terminal strips and the associated clamping grooves on the edges of the lid and the container box element can be designed in the form of several short pieces for mutual engagement.
  • locking fingers can be provided in the area of the hinges on the lid, which snap into corresponding recesses on the edge of the box.
  • the design of circumferential sealing edges between the lid and the edge of the box offers protection against splash water and dust, so that the plug-in container does not have to be additionally welded into a protective film.
  • a sealing device can also be provided between the lid and the edge of the box, which sealing device is then advantageously formed in the area of the lid hinges.
  • a securing device is effective both for the side wall inserts and for the lid and protects against unauthorized access to the contents of the goods.
  • the plug-in container box can be secured by a strap that advantageously runs around the lid hinges.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in providing limiting strips on the top of the lid which, together with corresponding depressions in the bottom of the container box element, prevent the boxes from slipping when they are stacked with the lid closed.
  • shipping papers or coding boards can be attached to the outside of the container box element between the edge and side mounting strips.
  • Corresponding retaining webs can be provided between and on the mounting strips to hold them.
  • trim weight elements can be attached to both the lid and the container box element.
  • a transponder can be used for automated handling of the plug-in container box, for example in the edge receiving strip of the container box element, so that it is protected by the plastic surrounding it and can nevertheless be replaced.
  • Suitable materials for the push-in container are preferably impact-resistant, dimensionally stable, weather-resistant, temperature-resistant, acid and alkali-resistant as well as recyclable plastics. Due to the multiple use of the box, a long service life of the material is required.
  • FIG. 1 shows the container box element 1 with three surface sections 9 of the side wall which are drawn in uniformly in steps from the box edge to the box bottom and each have approximately the same wall heights.
  • the edge receiving bar 2 and the side receiving bar 3 are shown, which run horizontally around the outside of the container box element 1.
  • the closed lid 20 is shown with the two lid halves 22 and the two film hinges 21. At the corners of the cover snap cams 29 are arranged, which serve to lock the folded top sides of the cover halves together.
  • Fig. 2 shows the container box element 1, wherein the lid 20 is not yet completely closed. It can be seen that the hinged lid when closing the container box element on the outer edges with the clamping strips 23 is snapped into the corresponding clamping grooves 5 of the box edge (see FIG. 9) and then the cover is brought into the horizontal position by pressure from above on the area of the film hinges 21.
  • FIG. 3 and Fig. 4 three empty container box elements 1 are shown, which are stacked on top of each other without a lid.
  • the side mounting strip 3 of a container box element lies on the edge mounting strip 2 of the container box element located below. It can be seen that the profiles of the undersides of the side mounting strips 3 and the tops of the edge mounting strips 2 are matched to one another in such a way that a sealing effect against dust and splash water results between two stacking mounting strips. As can be seen from FIG. 3, this means that all inner surfaces of the container box elements located in the stack are sealed with the exception of the uppermost container box element.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show the storage spaces 8, which each result between two empty stacked container box elements and in which the folded lid can be placed in each case. 3 also shows the areas for the labeling fields 10, which remain visible even when the container box elements 1 are stacked one inside the other.
  • FIG. 5 shows the container box element with the closed side wall insert 30.
  • Vertical reinforcement fields 4 are provided on the inside in the corner regions of the container box element.
  • clamping grooves 5 are provided, which serve to lock the lid edges, which are parallel to the folding axis.
  • locking bolts 31 are provided, which also can be automatically brought into the locking or unlocking position using compressed air.
  • Brackets 33 are also formed on the side wall insert for additional fixation in the container box element.
  • the locking lugs 32 serve to better fix a side wall insert which is suspended on the outside of the container box element (cf. FIGS. 7 and 8).
  • a stop 12 can be seen in FIG. 6, which prevents a side wall insert 30 (see FIGS. 7 and 8) suspended on the outside of the side mounting strip 3 from slipping when the container box element is inclined. Furthermore, a receptacle 13 for a transponder is shown.
  • Fig. 7 shows a removed side wall insert 30, which is suspended with the edge receiving bar 2, which has a U-shaped profile, in the corresponding groove 6 on the top of the side receiving bar of the container box element, the side wall insert being additionally fixed by the locking lugs 32.
  • a slope 11 (instead of a groove 6), on which the side wall insert 30 can be hung, is made on the upper side of the side mounting strip 3 and falls towards the center of the box.
  • FIG. 9 shows a cover 20, the cover halves 22 of which are folded together with the upper sides and are held together by a cover locking lug 25 which is latched into a corresponding recess 28.
  • the lid is locked to the edge of the container box by snapping the clamping strips 23 into the corresponding clamping grooves 5. In this way, half of the opening area of the container box element is closed by the lid.
  • the hinged lid has a hinge web 26 and two film hinges 21. A water-repellent edge 27 is also formed.
  • the lid is shown in the position in which it completely closes the container box element.
  • the locking finger 24 also snaps into a corresponding recess in the container box element.
