Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport container system for receiving containers, in particular egg cartons, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • eggs are either sold loose using suitable egg pallets or packed in appropriate plastic or cardboard containers.
  • the containers are usually designed to hold six, ten or twelve eggs.
  • the egg pallets or containers are usually packed in shipping boxes and transported to retail. After shipping, the shipping boxes are thrown away, which is becoming increasingly prolematic with regard to the increasingly scarce waste disposal capacities.
  • Various solutions are known here with regard to reusable transport containers. Overall, they aim to design the transport containers so that they can be transported in a space-saving manner when they are transported back when empty are, so that the return transport costs can be kept low.
  • rectangular-shaped transport containers are known which have an overall conical shape which widens upwards. These containers have the advantage that they can be stacked one inside the other to save space. However, they have the disadvantage that when the container is full, the weight of the container stacked above it presses on the goods in the container below. As a result, this system does not guarantee a sufficiently safe stackability, nor an intact transport of pressure-sensitive goods.
  • transport container systems which also consist of rectangular transport boxes.
  • the transport boxes are designed in such a way that the side walls can be folded onto the bottom of the box, which means that a much lower transport volume can be achieved in the folded state.
  • the disadvantage here is that the folding of the boxes is relatively cumbersome and therefore time-consuming.
  • these boxes consist of a relatively large number of individual parts which are movably connected to one another, which overall results in increased wear and thus a certain susceptibility to repairs.
  • a conically shaped transport container comprises at least one movable stacking bracket in the area of a frame element running around the upper edge of the container.
  • two stacking brackets are preferably provided on two opposite sides, preferably on the opposite narrow sides of the container, on the outside of the frame element.
  • the stacking brackets are movably received in a hinge-like manner in two provided hinge sleeves, so that they can be folded from a folded-out position into a folded-in position.
  • the hinge sleeves are particularly designed so that they are easy to remove. This is especially necessary if a stacking bracket or a hinge sleeve is to be replaced.
  • the hinge sleeves can be snapped into a corresponding receptacle provided on the frame element by means of a latching mechanism.
  • the latching mechanism can be formed, for example, from a shoulder provided on the hinge sleeve side and a snap flap correspondingly designed on the housing side, so that when the hinge sleeve is positively inserted into the receptacle provided on the frame element, the snap latch snaps behind the intended shoulder when the hinge sleeve is in the stop position and secures the hinge sleeve in its position .
  • the stacking bracket which can be folded into two such hinge sleeves, preferably has a closed shape, two S-shaped bends being provided in the hinge-side end section of the bracket, which prevent the bracket from migrating sideways.
  • the overall symmetrical bracket is designed in such a way that that it lies flush in the corner area of the upper frame edge in the folded state and extends parallel to the hinge-side frame upper edge, at a distance therefrom, over the opening of the transport container.
  • the stacking bracket is pulled down in a step-like manner with respect to the upper edge of the container, so that the bottom of a container stacked above is gripped by the upper edge of the frame element of the container stacked below. This ensures that the stacked container cannot migrate sideways during the transport process.
  • the corner region of the frame element, in which the stacking bracket rests in the folded state, is designed to be stepped in a step-like manner with respect to the upper edge of the container, so that when the stacking bracket is folded in, its upper edge lies below the level of the upper edge of the long side of the container.
  • the load is transferred from the container-spanning section of the stacking bracket to the corner areas of the container.
  • the orientation of the stacking bracket which is provided parallel to the side edge, is particularly advantageous because it acts as a skid, particularly when stacking above eye level, and facilitates the lateral sliding of a container to be stacked onto the one below.
  • corresponding guide grooves can be provided on the underside of the base element, which engage in the stacking bracket during stacking.
  • the circumferential frame element has two continuous handle openings at least on two opposite sides, preferably on the narrow sides.
  • the handle openings can also be provided with a recessed grip, which lowered the folding of the stacking bracket from its on the outside of the frame Position relieved.
  • an outwardly projecting bead is provided on the upper edge of the frame element, which is preferably formed in the form of a hollow or U-shaped profile and, in particular in the region of the handle openings, contributes to a comfortable handling of the transport container.
  • the circumferential frame element has at least two circumferential, outwardly extending stiffening ribs which are arranged parallel to one another in vertical planes.
  • stiffening ribs can be combined with vertically running stiffening ribs, which in particular increases the torsional rigidity of the container.
  • stiffening ribs are in particular arranged in such a way that they surround the folded-out stack bracket in a U-shaped manner and thus form a ram and impact protection of the stack bracket.
  • the side walls which connect the frame element to the base element, have a series of recesses, so that there is a saving in material and weight with respect to the transport container.
  • the side walls consist in particular of struts or a grid, the inner walls of the container being smooth.
  • the base element is also preferably designed in the form of a grid, the grid being formed by longitudinal and transverse webs which run essentially perpendicular to one another.
  • the longitudinal and transverse webs of the base element are rounded in the area of the inside of the housing, as a result of which contamination is avoided.
  • the overall transport container is designed so that it is easy to clean.
  • the stacking bracket is preferably made of metal, with appropriate rust protection measures, such as galvanizing, being provided.
  • the transport container is - with the exception of the snap-in hinge sleeves - made in one piece, preferably from injection molded plastic.
  • the hinge elements are preferably made of a special solid and impact-resistant polyamide material formed in one piece.
  • transport containers work together in the manner described with regard to their variation possibilities with regard to the vertical stackability to form a transport container system.
  • the transport containers can be arranged not only vertically, but also horizontally, within the individual stack levels, to prevent them from slipping among one another.
  • adjacent transport containers (A, B, C, D) of a stack level are detachably connected by means of a transport securing element.
  • the transport securing elements engage in one or more adjacent transport containers when the stacking bracket is preferably folded in, that is to say when the transport containers are loaded, and releasably connect them to one another so that they cannot slip against one another during transport.
  • the transport securing elements can in particular connect two or four transport containers lying directly next to one another.
  • the transport securing element generally comprises a plate with at least two vertically protruding engagement elements.
  • the transport securing element is arranged in such a way that it engages in one corner of each of the four adjacent transport containers, whereby according to one embodiment the folded-in stacking bracket also grips and is thus additionally secured in its position.
  • the transport securing element comprises four engagement elements which project perpendicularly from the plate.
  • the plate itself is preferably rectangular and has a centrally arranged, continuous handle opening by means of the element can be easily removed.
  • the engagement elements are arranged in the corner region of the plate and preferably comprise an outwardly pointing web, which serves as a support surface for transport containers stacked on top.
  • such a transport securing element is made of plastic.
  • the transport container generally designated 1 in FIG. 1 consists of a circumferential frame element 2 and lattice-shaped side walls 3 which connect the base element 4 to the frame element 2.
  • Continuous handle openings 6 can also be seen on the narrow sides 5 of the frame element 2. 1, the hinge sleeves attached to the outside of the narrow side of the frame element 5 can also be seen.
  • spacer webs are attached to the sides of the transport container 1, in particular on the outer walls, so that the boxes cannot be distributed.
  • a T-shaped crossbar can be attached to the underside of the container in order to keep the weight loads when stacked low or to achieve a load transfer that is as uniform as possible.
  • Fig. 3 shows in particular the hinge sleeves 7 and the stacking bracket 10 in its folded state.
  • Fig. 4 shows the stacking bracket 10 in a partially removed state.
  • the stacking bracket 10 thus comprises a section 10a, which initially runs straight and is rotatably received in the hinge sleeve. This is followed by an S-shaped area 10b, which prevents the stacking bracket from migrating out of the side of the hinge.
  • area 10c several bends of approximately 90 ° are provided at a distance.
  • the load-bearing region 10d which is designed to be recessed in steps, extends parallel to section 10a.
  • the handle opening 6 and the recessed grip 14 provided here, as well as the step-like recessed corner area 17, become clear in this illustration.
  • FIG. 5 shows the corner areas of four transport containers A, B, C and D lying one against the other.
  • the shape of the bracket with the sections 10b, 10c and 10d can again be seen quite clearly from this figure.
  • the transport boxes A, B, C and D are each arranged in such a way that two transport boxes A, D and B, C rest directly against one another with their hinge sleeves 7.
  • FIG. 6 again shows a schematic top view according to FIG. 5, the transport securing element 11 being shown here, which is inserted in such a way that it engages in the transport containers A, B with its engagement elements 12, which extend approximately perpendicular to a plate 13 , C and D intervene.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 show a side and a front view of the transport securing element 11 used in FIG. 6 for four transport containers.
  • the plate 13 is clearly recognizable with the four integrally formed engagement elements 12.
  • the support lugs 16 provided on the engagement elements become clear.
  • the further embodiment of a transport securing element consists of a base plate 22 with four engagement elements 23 extending in the corner region of the base plate.
  • the base plate 22 is generally elongated and comprises a central engagement opening 24.
  • the base plate has a first width 25, which tapers towards the narrow sides of the base plate to a second width 26.
  • the base plate finally has a third width 27 in the area of the laterally formed engagement elements 23.
  • FIG. 10 shows a side view of the transport securing element 21 according to FIG. 9. From this view, the design of the engaging elements 23 is particularly clear.
  • FIG 11 shows a front view of the transport securing element 21 in the stacking position.
  • the laterally widened base plate 22 can be seen.
  • FIG. 12 finally shows the arrangement of the transport securing element according to FIGS. 9 to 11 in the corner region of four stacked transport containers.
  • the uppermost transport containers of the transport container stack are labeled A, B, C and D.
  • FIG. 12 corresponds to FIG. 6 already discussed above.
  • the arrangement of the transport securing element 21 is different here.
  • the transport securing element 21 is placed on the corner region of the four adjacent transport containers A, B, C and D. stuck.
  • the engagement elements 23 engage in recesses 30 provided on the inner wall of the transport containers A, B, C and D.
  • the recesses 30 mentioned are in particular again in FIG. 6 shown.
  • a stacking bracket 10 which is pivotably provided on the transport containers, rests on the transport securing element 21.
  • the particular advantage of the transport securing element described in contrast to that described in FIGS. 6 to 8, can be seen in the fact that, despite the transport securing element 21 being inserted, the stacking brackets 10 can be folded out and in again.
