Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the transport and / or storage of piece goods, with a collapsible sheet of film or fabric material which is folded together to form at least one essentially U-shaped pocket in which the piece goods can be received, and with a hanging device at the upper end of the bags, which can be hung on at least one hanging device attached to a basic structure, the hanging device being connectable to the upper end of the bag, preferably via a loop, and extending in the transverse direction across the width of the bag, the carrying rod of which End can be hung at opposite suspension points.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for loading and unloading an appropriately designed device.
  • Piece goods are sealing washers, bearing shells and many other parts which have sensitive surfaces which would be scratched or otherwise damaged when the articles were stacked or poured onto one another as desired. It is currently becoming sensitive to shock and touch Packaged goods for transport over long distances and also for storage mostly very elaborately packaged. Transport boxes or cartons are given a specially shaped insert, generally made of polystyrene, which is adapted to the shape of the piece goods and keeps its sensitive parts or surfaces at a safe distance from other objects. Occasionally, instead of one or more specially shaped polystyrene blocks, a bed of smaller polystyrene chips is used, but usually only for the packaging of a single part in a larger container.
  • Corresponding boxes and / or boxes are then loaded and transported, for example, in trucks or iron wagons, then have to be unloaded and the piece goods are then removed from the individual packaging containers if required.
  • This is a relatively complex and expensive procedure.
  • the space required for transportation is many times higher than the total volume of the piece goods transported, because the packaging of the piece goods is very voluminous.
  • the packaging is often damaged when unloading and unpacking the piece goods and is then unsuitable for reuse.
  • the empty packaging must be transported back to the place of origin of the piece goods in a further transport trip, which is equivalent to an empty trip of a corresponding truck or railroad car.
  • the packaging process and also the unpacking of the items is relatively time-consuming, personnel-intensive and accordingly expensive.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a device for the transport and storage of piece goods, as well as a corresponding method for loading and unloading this device, which is a quick, easy and space-saving loading and unloading enable with general cargo.
  • a device having the features mentioned at the outset, which is additionally characterized in that it has a loading frame which is pivotably and optionally detachably articulated either at the lower end or at the upper end of the basic structure, and of the devices for receiving the carrying rods having.
  • a method solving the problem is defined by claim 24.
  • the piece goods are simply placed in the U-shaped pocket formed by the film or fabric web, which in turn is then hung on the upper ends of the U-legs.
  • the film or fabric web wraps around and against the piece goods, so that the suspended pocket does not take up much more space than the inserted piece goods themselves.
  • the film or fabric sheets can of course also be fed or be padded, with the filled pocket still requiring relatively little volume.
  • the loading frame enables a very simple and quick loading and unloading of the corresponding transport device without the piece goods having to be removed from the individual pockets.
  • the carrying bars are taken directly into the loading frame and can then either be opened and emptied better and more easily in the loading frame, or the entire loading frame can be transported further with several pockets of this type, or the bags can be transferred from a transport device using the loading frame, e.g. mobile and intended for truck transportation, passed into a stationary receiving device.
  • loops are provided at the upper ends of the U-legs, which facilitate hanging the bags.
  • An embodiment of the invention is preferred in which the loop is formed by the connection of the U-legs of adjacent pockets. The best way to do this is to simply use a continuous fabric web that is zigzag-folded in a row of successive U-shaped pockets, the transition from one U-leg of a pocket to the U-leg of the next adjacent pocket facing it forming the loop mentioned. If desired, this loop can be fixed with a so-called darts.
  • the loops do not need to be continuous in the transverse direction of the pockets, but several loops can expediently be arranged in the transverse direction across the width of the pocket, the loops on the opposite U-legs a bag are expediently offset from one another, so that when the two legs of the bag are folded at their upper ends, the loops on one side lie between those on the other side and can be aligned one behind the other in the transverse direction.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung für den Transport und/oder die Aufbewahrung von Stückgut, mit einer zusammenlegbaren Bahn aus Folien- oder Gewebematerial, welche unter Bildung mindestens einer im wesentlichen U-förmigen Tasche zusammengelegt ist, in welcher das Stückgut aufnehmbar ist, und mit einer Aufhängeeinrichtung am oberen Ende der Taschen, welche an mindestens einer an einem Grundaufbau befestigten Aufhängeeinrichtung aufhängbar ist, wobei die Aufhängeinrichtung eine mit dem oberen Ende der Tasche vorzugsweise über eine Schlaufe verbindbar und sich in Querrichtung über die Breite der Tasche hinweg erstreckende Tragestange ist, deren Ende an gegenüberliegenden Aufhängpunkten aufhängbar sind.The present invention relates to a device for the transport and / or storage of piece goods, with a collapsible sheet of film or fabric material which is folded together to form at least one essentially U-shaped pocket in which the piece goods can be received, and with a hanging device at the upper end of the bags, which can be hung on at least one hanging device attached to a basic structure, the hanging device being connectable to the upper end of the bag, preferably via a loop, and extending in the transverse direction across the width of the bag, the carrying rod of which End can be hung at opposite suspension points.

An derartige Vorrichtung ist zum Beispiel aus der französischen Patentschrift FR-C-1 455 414 bekannt. Auch die US-A-4,527,694 offenbart eine Vorrichtung der vorgenannten Art.Such a device is known, for example, from French patent FR-C-1 455 414. US-A-4,527,694 also discloses a device of the aforementioned type.

Darüberhinaus betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung auch noch ein Verfahren zum Be- und Entladen einer entsprechend ausgestalteten Vorrichtung.In addition, the present invention also relates to a method for loading and unloading an appropriately designed device.

An derartige Transport- und Aufbewahrungssysteme gibt es in der Praxis je nach der Art des Stückgutes sehr unterschiedliche Anforderungen. Unempfindliche Stückgüter können in Kisten, Kartons oder auf Ladeflächen von LKW's gestapelt oder aufeinandergeschüttet werden. Der Transport und die Lagerung von empfindlichen Stückgut ist jedoch wesentlich aufwendiger. In der Industrie wird eine Vielzahl von Fertigteilen und Halbfertigteilen gefertigt, die anschließend eines Weitertransportes oder einer Zwischenlagerung bedürfen. Hierbei kann man beispielsweise an bestimmte Einzelteile bei der Kraftfahrzeugherstellung denken. So werden Getriebeteile oft in großer Entfernung von dem Werk hergestellt, in welchem das Getriebe montiert und/oder zusammengesetzt wird. Auch Karosserieteile, wie zum Beispiel die Türen eines PKW werden in der Regel nicht in unmittelbarer Nähe der Fertigungsstraße hergestellt, wo sie an dem entsprechenden Fahrzeug angebracht werden. Andere Beispiele für derartiges Stückgut sind Dichtungsscheiben, Lagerschalen und viele andere Teile, die empfindliche Oberflächen haben, welche beim beliebigen Aufeinanderstapeln oder -schütten der Gegenstände verkratzt oder sonstwie beschädigt würden. Derzeit wird stoß- und berührungsempfindliches Stückgut für den Transport über längere Strecken und auch für die Lagerung zumeist sehr aufwendig verpackt. Transportkisten oder -kartons erhalten dazu einen speziell geformten Einsatz, im allgemeinen aus Polystyrol, welcher der Form des Stückgutes angepaßt ist und dessen empfindliche Teile oder Flächen in sicherem Abstand von anderen Gegenständen hält. Gelegentlich findet anstelle eines oder mehrerer speziell geformter Polystyrolblöcke auch eine Schüttung aus kleineren Polystyrolchips Verwendung, in der Regel jedoch nur für die Verpackung eines einzelnen Teils in einem größeren Behälter. Entsprechende Kisten und/oder Kartons werden dann zum Beispiel in LKW's oder Eisenwaggons verladen und transportiert, müssen anschließend entladen werden und das Stückgut wird dann bei Bedarf den einzelnen Verpackungsbehältern entnommen. Dies ist eine relativ aufwendige und teure Vorgehensweise. Der Platzbedarf beim Transport ist um ein vielfaches höher als es dem Gesamtvolumen der transportierten Stückgüter entspricht, weil die Verpackungen der Stückgüter sehr voluminös sind. Außerdem werden beim Entladen und beim Auspacken der Stückgüter die Verpackungen oftmals beschädigt und sind dann für eine Wiederverwendung nicht geeignet. Selbst wenn sie jedoch unbeschädigt bleiben, müssen die leeren Verpackungen in einer weiteren Transportfahrt wieder an den Ursprungsort der Stückgüter zurücktransportiert werden, was einer Leerfahrt eines entsprechenden LKW oder Eisenbahnwaggons gleich kommt. Schließlich ist auch der Verpackungsvorgang und auch das Auspacken der Gegenstände relativ zeitaufwendig, personalintensiv und dementsprechend teuer.In practice, such transport and storage systems have very different requirements depending on the type of piece goods. Insensitive piece goods can be stacked in boxes, cartons or on the loading areas of trucks or poured onto one another. However, the transport and storage of sensitive general cargo is much more complex. A large number of finished and semi-finished parts are manufactured in industry, which then require further transport or intermediate storage. Here one can think, for example, of certain individual parts in the manufacture of motor vehicles. Gear parts are often manufactured at a great distance from the factory in which the gear is assembled and / or assembled. Even body parts, such as the doors of a car, are generally not manufactured in the immediate vicinity of the production line, where they are attached to the corresponding vehicle. Other examples of such piece goods are sealing washers, bearing shells and many other parts which have sensitive surfaces which would be scratched or otherwise damaged when the articles were stacked or poured onto one another as desired. It is currently becoming sensitive to shock and touch Packaged goods for transport over long distances and also for storage mostly very elaborately packaged. Transport boxes or cartons are given a specially shaped insert, generally made of polystyrene, which is adapted to the shape of the piece goods and keeps its sensitive parts or surfaces at a safe distance from other objects. Occasionally, instead of one or more specially shaped polystyrene blocks, a bed of smaller polystyrene chips is used, but usually only for the packaging of a single part in a larger container. Corresponding boxes and / or boxes are then loaded and transported, for example, in trucks or iron wagons, then have to be unloaded and the piece goods are then removed from the individual packaging containers if required. This is a relatively complex and expensive procedure. The space required for transportation is many times higher than the total volume of the piece goods transported, because the packaging of the piece goods is very voluminous. In addition, the packaging is often damaged when unloading and unpacking the piece goods and is then unsuitable for reuse. However, even if they remain undamaged, the empty packaging must be transported back to the place of origin of the piece goods in a further transport trip, which is equivalent to an empty trip of a corresponding truck or railroad car. Finally, the packaging process and also the unpacking of the items is relatively time-consuming, personnel-intensive and accordingly expensive.

Bei den bekannten Transport- und Aufbewahrungsvorrichtungen ist ein Be- und Entladen immer relativ aufwendig, da das Stückgut jeweils einer einzelnen Tasche entnommen und weiter transportiert bzw. verwendet werden muß. Dies ist insbesondere dann schwierig, wenn die Vorrichtung mit einer Reihe gleichartiger Taschen weitgehend gefüllt ist, so daß es nicht möglich ist, die zwei Tragestangen, an welchen eine Tasche hängt, genügend weit auseinander zuziehen, um bequemen Zugang zu dem Stückgut zu erhalten. Auch die Übergabe und der Transport in andere, gleichartige Aufbewahrungsvorrichtungen, z.B. von einer mit einem LKW transportierten in eine stationäre Vorrichtung in einem Lager, kann praktisch nur durch Entnehmen der einzelnen Stückgüter und Wiedereinsetzen in die Tasche einer anderen Vorrichtung erfolgen oder es müssen die Taschen selbst einzeln aus dem Rahmen herausgehoben und übergeben werden. Dies ist zeitaufwendig und umständlich.In the known transport and storage devices, loading and unloading is always relatively complex, since the piece goods must be removed from a single bag and transported or used further. This is particularly difficult when the device is largely filled with a number of bags of the same type, so that it is not possible to pull the two carrying rods on which a bag hangs sufficiently far apart in order to obtain convenient access to the piece goods. The transfer and transport to other, similar storage devices, e.g. from a truck transported to a stationary device in a warehouse, can practically only be done by removing the individual piece goods and putting them back in the bag of another device, or the bags themselves have to be lifted out of the frame and handed over. This is time consuming and cumbersome.

Gegenüber diesem Stand der Technik liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung für den Transport und die Aufbewahrung von Stückgütern, ebenso wie ein entsprechendes Verfahren zum Be- und Entladen dieser Vorrichtung zu schaffen, welche ein schnelles, einfaches und platzsparendes Be- und Entladen mit Stückgütern ermöglichen.Compared to this prior art, the present invention has for its object to provide a device for the transport and storage of piece goods, as well as a corresponding method for loading and unloading this device, which is a quick, easy and space-saving loading and unloading enable with general cargo.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den eingangs genannten Merkmalen gelöst, die zusätzlich dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß sie einen Laderahmen aufweist, der entweder am unteren Ende oder an oberen Ende des Grundaufbaus schwenkbar und wahlweise lösbar angelenkt ist, und der Einrichtungen zur Aufnahme der Tragestangen aufweist.This object is achieved by a device having the features mentioned at the outset, which is additionally characterized in that it has a loading frame which is pivotably and optionally detachably articulated either at the lower end or at the upper end of the basic structure, and of the devices for receiving the carrying rods having.

Ein die Aufgabe lösendes Verfahren wird durch den Anspruch 24 definiert.A method solving the problem is defined by claim 24.

Das Stückgut wird einfach in die von der Folien- oder Gewebebahn gebildete, U-förmige Tasche eingelegt, die dann wiederum an den oberen Enden der U-Schenkel aufgehängt wird. Dabei legt sich die Folien- oder Gewebebahn um das Stückgut herum und an dieses an, so daß die aufgehängte Tasche nicht wesentlich mehr Platz beansprucht als das eingelegte Stückgut selbst. Je nach der Art des zu transportierenden Stückgutmaterials können die Folien- oder Gewebebahnen selbstverständlich auch gefüttert bzw. gepolstert sein, wobei durch die gefüllte Tasche immer noch verhältnismäßig wenig Volumen beansprucht wird. Dabei ermöglicht der Laderahmen ein sehr einfaches und schnelles Be- und Entladen der entsprechenden Transportvorrichtung, ohne daß das Stückgut aus den einzelnen Taschen entnommen werden muß. Stattdessen werden die Tragestangen direkt in den Laderahmen übernommen und können dann entweder in dem Laderahmen besser und einfacher geöffnet und entleert werden, oder aber der gesamte Laderahmen wird mit mehreren deartiger Taschen weiter transportiert oder die Taschen werden mit Hilfe des Laderahmens von einer Transportvorrichtung, die z.B. fahrbar und für einen LKW-Transport vorgesehen ist, in eine stationäre Aufnahmevorrichtung übergeben.The piece goods are simply placed in the U-shaped pocket formed by the film or fabric web, which in turn is then hung on the upper ends of the U-legs. The film or fabric web wraps around and against the piece goods, so that the suspended pocket does not take up much more space than the inserted piece goods themselves. Depending on the type of piece goods material to be transported, the film or fabric sheets can of course also be fed or be padded, with the filled pocket still requiring relatively little volume. The loading frame enables a very simple and quick loading and unloading of the corresponding transport device without the piece goods having to be removed from the individual pockets. Instead, the carrying bars are taken directly into the loading frame and can then either be opened and emptied better and more easily in the loading frame, or the entire loading frame can be transported further with several pockets of this type, or the bags can be transferred from a transport device using the loading frame, e.g. mobile and intended for truck transportation, passed into a stationary receiving device.

Zweckmäßigerweise sind an den oberen Enden der U-Schenkel Schlaufen vorgesehen, die das Aufhängen der Taschen erleichtern. Bevorzugt ist dabei eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung, bei welcher die Schlaufe durch die Verbindung der U-Schenkel benachbarter Taschen gebildet wird. Am zweckmäßigsten verwendet man hierfür einfach eine durchgehende Gewebebahn, die zickzackförmig in einer Reihe aufeinanderfolgender U-förmiger Taschen zusammengelegt wird, wobei der Übergang eines U-Schenkels einer Tasche zu dem ihr zugewandten U-Schenkel der nächst benachbarten Tasche die erwähnte Schlaufe bildet. Falls gewünscht, kann diese Schlaufe durch einen sogenannten Abnäher fixiert werden. Die Schlaufen brauchen in Querrichtung der Taschen allerdings nicht durchgehend zu sein, sondern es können zweckmäßigerweise in Querrichtung über die Breite der Tasche mehrere Schlaufen angeordnet sein, wobei die Schlaufen an den gegenüberliegenden U-Schenkeln einer Tasche zweckmäßigerweise zueinander versetzt sind, so daß beim Zusammenlegen der beiden Schenkel der Tasche an ihren oberen Enden die Schlaufen der einen Seite zwischen denen der anderen Seite liegen und in Querrichtung hintereinander ausgerichtet werden können.Conveniently, loops are provided at the upper ends of the U-legs, which facilitate hanging the bags. An embodiment of the invention is preferred in which the loop is formed by the connection of the U-legs of adjacent pockets. The best way to do this is to simply use a continuous fabric web that is zigzag-folded in a row of successive U-shaped pockets, the transition from one U-leg of a pocket to the U-leg of the next adjacent pocket facing it forming the loop mentioned. If desired, this loop can be fixed with a so-called darts. However, the loops do not need to be continuous in the transverse direction of the pockets, but several loops can expediently be arranged in the transverse direction across the width of the pocket, the loops on the opposite U-legs a bag are expediently offset from one another, so that when the two legs of the bag are folded at their upper ends, the loops on one side lie between those on the other side and can be aligned one behind the other in the transverse direction.

Die erfindungsgemäße Aufhängeeinrichtung ist zweckmäßigerweise eine mit den Enden der Schlaufe verbindbare und sich in Querrichtung über die Breite der Bahn bzw. der Tasche hinweg erstreckende Stange, deren Enden an gegenüberliegenden Aufhängepunkten aufhängbar sind. Die Aufhängepunkte für die Taschen bzw. für die Enden der Stange sind zweckmäßigerweise an zwei parallelen, am Grundaufbau befestigbaren Schienen angeordnet Es versteht sich, daß die Länge der Tragestangen dann in etwa dem lichten Abstand zwischen den Schienen entspricht, damit die Enden der Stange an den entlang der Schienen angeordneten Aufhängpunkten aufhängbar sind.The suspension device according to the invention is expediently a rod which can be connected to the ends of the loop and extends in the transverse direction across the width of the web or the pocket, the ends of which can be suspended at opposite suspension points. The suspension points for the pockets or for the ends of the rod are expediently arranged on two parallel rails which can be fastened to the basic structure. It is understood that the length of the support rods then corresponds approximately to the clear distance between the rails, so that the ends of the rod at the arranged hanging points along the rails can be suspended.

Dabei weisen die Schienen zweckmäßigerweise eine Reihe von Raststellen als Aufhängepunkte auf.The rails expediently have a number of locking points as suspension points.

Bevorzugt ist eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung, bei welcher die Schienen im Profil C-förmig sind, und zwar so, daß die freien Enden des "C" soweit herumgezogen sind, daß sie aufeinander zulaufen. Sie bilden dann ein Profil mit einem Längsschlitz, das sich in seinem Inneren hinter dem Schlitz erweitert. In einem solchen Fall können die Haltestangen beispielsweise ein verdicktes Ende bzw. eine Einschnürung im kurzen Abstand von ihren Enden oder aber stimseitig angebrachte Rollen mit zur Längsrichtung der Stange im wesentlichen parallelen Achsen haben, wobei entweder die verdickten Enden oder aber die Rollen stirnseitig in das C-Profil eingeführt werden, wobei sich die Einschnürung bzw. die Welle der Rolle durch den im C-Profil gebildeten Schlitz zur Haltestange hin erstrecktAn embodiment of the invention is preferred in which the rails are C-shaped in profile, in such a way that the free ends of the "C" are drawn around so far that they converge. They then form a profile with a longitudinal slot, which widens inside behind the slot. In such a case, the support rods can have, for example, a thickened end or a constriction at a short distance from their ends, or else end-mounted rollers with axes essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rod, with either the thickened ends or the end faces into the C Profile are introduced, the constriction or the shaft of the roller extending through the slot formed in the C profile to the support rod

Als Grundaufbau für die Anbringung der Aufhängevorrichtung bzw. der zuletzt erwähnten Schienen kann man zweckmäßigerweise einen LKW-Aufbau verwenden. Der Grundaufbau kann jedoch auch ein im wesentlichen einen Quader aufspannender Rahmen sein, der an zwei gegenüberliegenden oberen Kanten bzw. in deren Nähe zwei sich parallel erstreckende Aufhängevorrichtungen, insbesondere die eben erwähnten Schienen, aufweist. Dabei sollten die Außenmaße des aufgespannten Rahmens einem Standardmaß entsprechen, so daß einer oder mehrere derartige Rahmen in entsprechend standardisierten größeren Behältern bzw. Containern platzsparend aufgenommen werden können. Die Aufhängevorrichtung kann auch unmittelbar in einem Wechselcontainer angeordnet sein, der sowohl auf LKW als auch auf Eisenbahnwaggons oder Schiffen transportiert werden kann.A truck body can expediently be used as the basic structure for attaching the suspension device or the last-mentioned rails. However, the basic structure can also be a frame which essentially spans a cuboid and has two parallel hanging devices, in particular the rails just mentioned, on two opposite upper edges or in the vicinity thereof. The outer dimensions of the clamped frame should correspond to a standard dimension, so that one or more such frames can be accommodated in space-saving manner in correspondingly standardized larger containers. The suspension device can also be arranged directly in an interchangeable container, which is used both on trucks and on railway wagons or ships can be transported.

Der erwähnte Rahmen sollte zumindest an einer Stirnseite offen sein, damit von dieser Seite her die U-förmigen Taschen leicht in den Rahmen eingeschoben werden können. Der Rahmen kann auch, abgesehen von etwaigen Verstärkungsstreben, an seiner Oberseite offen sein. Das Profil der C-Schienen sollten zumindest an einem Ende, vorzugsweise an beiden Enden bzw. in der Nähe der Enden Verriegelungen aufweisen, welche den freien C-Querschnitt der Schienen mindestens teilweise verschließen. Sind nämlich die verdickten Enden der Haltestangen oder aber entsprechend passende Rollen in das C-Profil eingeschoben, so kann man sie durch Schließen der Verriegelungen in dem Profil sichern, damit sie während des Transportes nicht aus den Stirnseiten C-Schienen herausrutschen. Darüber hinaus können weitere Verriegelungen entlang der C-Schienen oder ähnlicher Aufhängvorrichtungen vorgesehen sein, um die aufgehängten Taschen einzeln oder gruppenweise gegen Verrutschen zu sichern.The frame mentioned should be open at least on one end so that the U-shaped pockets can be easily inserted into the frame from this side. Apart from any reinforcing struts, the frame can also be open on its upper side. The profile of the C-rails should have locks at least at one end, preferably at both ends or in the vicinity of the ends, which at least partially close the free C cross section of the rails. If the thickened ends of the handrails or correspondingly suitable rollers are inserted into the C-profile, they can be secured in the profile by closing the locks so that they do not slip out of the end faces of the C-rails during transport. In addition, further interlocks can be provided along the C-rails or similar suspension devices in order to secure the suspended pockets individually or in groups against slipping.

Der Rahmenaufbau wird zweckmäßigerweise als eine zusammenklappbare Scherengitter- oder Fachwerkkonstruktion gewählt Auf diese Weise spart kann man Rücktransport der leeren Taschen und der entsprechenden Rahmen Platz einsparen, der für den Transport anderer Gegenstände zur Verfügung steht. Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung weist eine Tasche bzw. weisen eine Reihe aus einer kontinuierlichen Bahn gefertigte Taschen zweckmäßigerweise an einem der äußersten Taschenenden ein Stück überstehendes Bahnende auf, das über die gefüllten Taschen zurückklappbar ist und so deren Oberseite abdecktThe frame structure is expediently chosen as a collapsible scissor-lattice or truss construction. In this way, one can save the return transport of the empty pockets and the corresponding frame, and save space that is available for the transport of other objects. According to the present invention, a pocket or a row of pockets made from a continuous web expediently has a web end protruding a piece at one of the outermost pocket ends, which end can be folded back over the filled pockets and thus covers the top thereof

Weiterhin ist eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung bevorzugt, bei welcher die einzeinen Taschen einer kontinuierlichen Bahn erst dadurch definiert werden, daß die Bahn über sich quer zur Bahn erstreckende Tragestangen gelegt und der jeweils auf einer Tragestange aufliegende Abschnitt der Bahn mit einer im Querschnitt im wesentlichen U-förmigen Halteklammer auf der Tragestange fixiert wird. Die Größe der Tasche wird dann jeweils durch die Länge des Bahnabschnittes definiert, der sich zwischen zwei benachbarten Tragestangen erstreckt. Durch Abnehmen und Versetzen der Halteklammern kann man so aus einer langen, kontinuierlichen Bahn eine Reihe aufeinanderfolgender U-förmiger Taschen erzeugen, deren Größe variabel ist und entlang der Taschenreihe variieren kann.Furthermore, an embodiment of the invention is preferred, in which the individual pockets of a continuous web are only defined in that the web is placed over support bars extending transversely to the web and the section of the web resting on a support bar with a cross section that is essentially U-shaped. shaped bracket is fixed on the support rod. The size of the bag is then defined in each case by the length of the web section which extends between two adjacent carrying bars. By removing and moving the retaining clips, you can create a series of successive U-shaped pockets from a long, continuous path, the size of which is variable and can vary along the row of pockets.

Die seitlichen Öffnungen der U-förmigen Taschen können durch vorzugsweise abnehmbare Faltbögen verschlossen sein. Die Form derartiger Taschen ist im Prinzip aus Hängeregistraturen bekannt, die teilweise auch sogenannte "Leinenfrösche" aufweise, weiche die seitlichen Öffnungen der Taschen von Hängeregistraturen verschließen. In ähnlicher Weise sollen auch die Faltbögen gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung seitliche Öffnungen der Taschen verschließen. Dabei sollen diese Faltbögen doch vorzugsweise abnehmbar sein, sie können beispielsweise mit Druckknöpfen oder dergleichen seitlich an den Taschen befestigt werden.The side openings of the U-shaped pockets can be closed by preferably removable folding sheets. The shape of such bags is known in principle from hanging files, some of which also have so-called "linen frogs" which close the side openings of the bags of hanging files. The folding sheets should be similar close side openings of the pockets according to the present invention. These folding sheets should preferably be removable, for example, they can be attached to the pockets laterally with snap fasteners or the like.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind an den Wänden der Taschen kleinere Zusatztaschen vorgesehen. Die Taschen können dann wahlweise für den Transport größerer Stückgüter in den von der Bahn gebildeten U-förmigen Taschen als auch für den Transport kleinerer Stückgüter in den zusätzlichen kleineren Taschen verwendet werden.According to a further embodiment of the invention, smaller additional pockets are provided on the walls of the pockets. The bags can then be used either for the transport of larger piece goods in the U-shaped bags formed by the train and for the transport of smaller piece goods in the additional smaller bags.

Die Be- und Entladevorrichtung besteht aus einem im wesentlichen rechteckigen Laderahmen, der mit seinem unteren Ende an dem unteren Ende der Stirnseite des Grundaufbaus bzw. Rahmens schwenkbar angelenkt ist. Die Maße des Laderahmens 30 sind in etwa den Maßen der Stirnseite des Grundaufbaus angepaßt. Am oberen Ende des Laderahmens sind Einrichtungen zur Aufnahme einer Tragestange vorgesehen. Der Laderahmen wird an den Grundaufbau bzw. Rahmen herangeklappt, dann wird die am weitesten vorn liegende Tragestange in dem Rahmen bzw. Grundaufbau in den Laderahmen überführt, der anschließend wieder von dem Grundaufbau weggeklappt wird und dabei die erste Tragestange der am weitesten vom liegenden Tasche mitnimmt, die dabei geöffnet wird und zum Be- bzw. Entladen zugänglich ist.Vorzugsweise wird der Laderahmen in einer Schrägstellung durch eine Sicherungskette gesichert. Die Aufnahmeeinrichtung für die Tragestange ist vorzugsweise ähnlich ausgebildet wie die entsprechenden Halterungen in dem Rahmen selbst und haben vorzugsweise die Form von C-förmigen Profilschienen, in welchen die an den Enden von Tragestangen aufgenommenen Rollen laufen können. Ein Sicherungsbolzen oder dergleichen sorgt dabei dafür, daß die eine Tragestange einer jeweils aufklappenden Tasche am oberen Ende des Laderahmens gesichert ist. Außerdem ist zweckmäßigerweise eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung vorgesehen, welche bei weggeklapptem Laderahmen das Herausnehmen oder Herausgleiten der am weitesten vom liegenden Tragestange im Grundaufbau verhindert. Diese Verriegelungsvorrichtung kann dabei in der bevorzugten Ausführungsform so gestaltet sein, daß sie durch Heranklappen des Laderahmens betätigt, d. h. entriegelt wird, so daß in diesem Zustand das Überführen von Tragestangen von dem Grundaufbau in den Laderahmen und umgekehrt möglich ist.The loading and unloading device consists of a substantially rectangular loading frame, which is pivotally articulated at its lower end to the lower end of the end face of the basic structure or frame. The dimensions of the loading frame 30 are adapted approximately to the dimensions of the end face of the basic structure. At the upper end of the loading frame, devices for receiving a carrying bar are provided. The loading frame is folded up to the basic structure or frame, then the most forwardly supporting bar in the frame or basic structure is transferred into the loading frame, which is then folded away again from the basic structure and takes the first carrying bar of the most distant pocket with it which is opened and accessible for loading and unloading. The loading frame is preferably secured in an inclined position by a safety chain. The receiving device for the support rod is preferably designed similar to the corresponding holders in the frame itself and preferably have the shape of C-shaped rails in which the rollers accommodated at the ends of the support rods can run. A securing bolt or the like ensures that the one supporting bar of a respective opening pocket is secured at the upper end of the loading frame. In addition, a locking device is expediently provided which, when the loading frame is folded away, removes or slides out the furthest from the lying position Carrying bar prevented in the basic structure. This locking device can be designed in the preferred embodiment so that it is actuated by folding the loading frame, ie unlocked, so that in this state the transfer of support rods from the basic structure into the loading frame and vice versa is possible.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung, insbesondere für kleinere U-förmige Taschen, braucht die Tragestange nicht an beiden Enden aufgehängt werden, sondern kann beispielsweise als untere Querstange einer Aufhängeinrichtung ausgebildet sein, die im wesentlichen die Form eines Kleiderbügels mit einem mittig über der Querstange angeordneten Aufhängehaken, Öse oder dergleichen versehen ist.In another embodiment of the invention, in particular for smaller U-shaped bags, the support rod does not need to be hung at both ends, but can, for example, be designed as a lower crossbar of a suspension device, which essentially has the shape of a clothes hanger with one arranged centrally above the crossbar Suspension hook, eyelet or the like is provided.

In Figur 1 ist schematisch eine Reihe U-förmiger Taschen dargestellt, die aus einem flexiblen Material, zum Beispiel einer Folien- oder Gewebebahn hergestellt sind. Ein Ausschnitt des oberen Endbereiches einer Tasche ist in Figur 1 vergrößert dargestellt. Man erkennt, daß die Bahn unter Bildung U-förmiger-Taschen über einer Reihe aufeinanderfolgender Tragestangen gelegt ist, wobei jeweils zwischen zwei benachbarter Stangen 4 von der Bahn 2 die erwähnte Tasche 1 gebildet wird.In Figure 1, a series of U-shaped pockets is schematically shown, which are made of a flexible material, for example a film or fabric web. A section of the upper end region of a pocket is shown enlarged in FIG. 1. It can be seen that the web is laid with the formation of U-shaped pockets over a row of successive carrying rods, the mentioned pocket 1 being formed between two adjacent rods 4 by the web 2.

Dabei bilden die oberen, zusammenhängenden Enden der Wände benachbarter Taschen 1 eine Schlaufe 3, durch welche jeweils eine Tragestange 4 geführt ist. Die die Schlaufe 4 bildenden Wände benachbarter Taschen können auch unterhalb der Tragestangen 4 zusammengenäht bzw. zusammengeheftet sein, so daß die gebildete Schlaufe 3 dauerhaft istThe upper, contiguous ends of the walls of adjacent pockets 1 form a loop 3, through which a support rod 4 is guided. The walls of adjacent pockets forming the loop 4 can also be sewn or stitched together below the carrying rods 4, so that the loop 3 formed is permanent

In Figur 2 erkennt man eine ganz ähnliche Reihe U-förmiger Taschen 1, welche aus einer kontinuierlichen Folien- oder Gewebebahn 2 gebildet sind, indem die Bahn über eine Reihe paralleler Tragestangen gelegt wird, wobei zwischen den Tragestangen 4 von der Bahn 2 die U-förmigen Taschen 1 ausgebildet werden. Die Größe der Taschen 1 ist bei dieser Ausführungsform variabel und wird allein dadurch festgelegt, daß die jeweils zwischen benachbarten Taschen 1 gebildeten Schlaufen 3 auf den Tragestangen 4 durch vorzugsweise federnde Klammern 8 fixiert werden. Die Klammern 8 werden entweder stimseitig oder von oben auf die von der Bahn 2 überdeckte Tragestange 4 aufgeschoben. Die Bahn 2 ist dabei von einem Ende her zu einer Rolle aufgewickelt, wobei die Gesamtlänge der Bahn der maximalen Anzahl und Größe der zu bildenden Taschen entspricht und wobei außerdem vorzugsweise noch ein gewisser Überstand vorgesehen ist, der ausreicht, um die Gesamtheit der Taschen 1 durch Zurückschlagen des verbleibenden freien Endes der Bahn 2 von der Oberseite her abzudecken.FIG. 2 shows a very similar row of U-shaped pockets 1, which are formed from a continuous sheet of film or fabric 2 by placing the sheet over a row of parallel support rods, the U- between the support rods 4 of the web 2 shaped pockets 1 are formed. The size of the pockets 1 is variable in this embodiment and is determined solely by the loops 3 formed in each case between adjacent pockets 1 being fixed on the carrying rods 4 by preferably resilient clamps 8. The clips 8 are pushed either on the end face or from above onto the support rod 4 covered by the web 2. The web 2 is wound from one end into a roll, the total length of the web corresponding to the maximum number and size of the pockets to be formed and, in addition, a certain protrusion is preferably provided which is sufficient to cover the entirety of the pockets 1 Cover back the remaining free end of the web 2 to cover from the top.

In Figur 3 erkennt man verschiedene Ansichten einer Reihe von Taschen 1, die an Tragestangen 4 aufgehängt sind, welche ihrerseits an ihren Stirnseiten Rollen 7 aufweisen, die in im Profil C-förmigen Schienen 5 laufen.FIG. 3 shows various views of a row of pockets 1 which are suspended from carrying rods 4, which in turn have rollers 7 on their end faces, which run in rails 5 which are C-shaped in profile.

Dabei erkennt man das C-Profil der Schienen am besten in der in Figur 3a dargestellten Vorderansicht der Taschenreihe. Man erkennt weiterhin in Figur 3a, daß der Durchmesser der stirnseitig angebrachten Rollen 7 größer ist als die Breite des Schlitzes in den C-Profilschienen, so daß die Rolle nicht seitlich aus dem C-Profil herausrutschen können.The C-profile of the rails can best be seen in the front view of the row of pockets shown in FIG. 3a. It can also be seen in FIG. 3a that the diameter of the rollers 7 attached at the end is greater than the width of the slot in the C-profile rails, so that the roller cannot slide out of the C-profile laterally.

Figur 3b ist eine Ansicht auf die in Figur 3a dargestellte Taschenreihe von oben, wobei die obere Wand eines Teils der rechten Profilschiene weggebrochen dargestellt ist, so daß man darunter die Rollen 7 erkennt, die koaxial zu den Tragestangen 4 angeordnet sind. Figur 3c entspricht schließlich einer Ansicht auf eine Schnittebene entlang der Linie A-A, die in Figur 3b eingezeichnet ist. Die Blickrichtung verläuft hier parallel zur Achse der Tragestangen 4, man erkennt durch den Schlitz des C-Profils der Schienen 5 die darin liegenden Rollen 7. Außerdem erkennt man bei dieser Darstellung, daß die Schlaufen 3 der Taschen 1 zwischen den benachbarten Taschen dadurch gebildet werden, daß die nebeneinanderliegenden Wände benachbarter Taschen unterhalb der Tragestangen 4 miteinander verbunden bzw. zusammengeheftet sind, so daß dauerhafte und feste Schlaufen 3 gebildet werden.FIG. 3b is a view of the pocket row shown in FIG. 3a from above, the upper wall of part of the right-hand profile rail being shown broken away, so that one can see underneath the rollers 7, which are arranged coaxially to the support rods 4. Figure 3c finally corresponds to a view of a sectional plane along the line A-A, which is shown in Figure 3b. The direction of view here runs parallel to the axis of the support rods 4, you can see through the slot of the C-profile of the rails 5, the rollers 7 therein. In addition, it can be seen in this representation that the loops 3 of the pockets 1 are formed between the adjacent pockets that the adjacent walls of adjacent pockets below the support rods 4 are connected or stapled together so that permanent and firm loops 3 are formed.

Figur 4 ist eine Vorderansicht einer Tasche gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung, bei welcher auf die Wände der Taschen 1 mehrere Reihen zusätzlicher, kleinerer Taschen 1' aufgenäht, aufgeklebt oder sonstwie befestigt sind. In Figur 4b erkennt man in einem Längsschnitt sind, wobei der Abstand aufeinanderfolgender Reihen auf derselben Seite einer Taschenwand jeweils größer ist als die Höhe der Taschen, was einerseits das Befüllen der Taschen erleichtert, andererseits beim Zusammenschieben einer Reihe derartiger Taschen auch dazu führt, daß die Taschenreihen einer Taschenwand jeweils zwischen den Reihen von Taschen auf der gegenüberliegenden Wand Platz finden. Die Stückgüter werden so ausgesprochen platzsparend in den kleinen Zusatztaschen 1' aufgenommen. Es versteht sich, daß bei einer solchen Taschenreihe nicht alle kleinen Zusatztaschen gefüllt sein müssen, so daß die Taschen 1 auch als große Taschen für größere Stückgüter genutzt werden können. Die kleineren Taschen, die ebenfalls aus einem flexiblen Gewebe- oder Folienmaterial bestehen sollten, dienen dann als Polstermaterial. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, gleichzeitig in einer Tasche 1 als auch in den an dieser Tasche 1 angebrachten Zusatztaschen 1' entsprechend geeignetes Stückgut aufzunehmen.FIG. 4 is a front view of a bag according to a further embodiment of the invention, in which several rows of additional, smaller bags 1 'are sewn, glued or otherwise fastened onto the walls of the bags 1. 4b shows a longitudinal section are, the distance between successive rows on the same side of a pocket wall is each greater than the height of the pockets, which on the one hand facilitates the filling of the pockets, and on the other hand when pushing together a number of such pockets also leads to the pocket rows of a pocket wall between the rows of Bags can be found on the opposite wall. The piece goods are accommodated in the small additional pockets 1 'in a way that saves space. It goes without saying that with such a row of pockets not all small additional pockets have to be filled, so that the pockets 1 can also be used as large pockets for larger piece goods. The smaller pockets, which should also consist of a flexible fabric or film material, then serve as a cushioning material. Of course, it is also possible to accommodate correspondingly suitable piece goods simultaneously in a pocket 1 and in the additional pockets 1 'attached to this pocket 1.

Die Figuren 5 bis 8 eigen einen Grundaufbau 6 in Form eines zusammenklappbaren Rahmens, an dessen Oberseite auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten parallel verlaufende Schienen 5 angeordnet sind. Diese Schienen 5 sind vorzugsweise die im Zusammenhang mit Figur 3 beschriebenen C-Profilschienen. Das Be- und Entladen eines solchen Aufbaus kann auch im Zusammenhang mit Figur 3 beschrieben werden.Figures 5 to 8 own a basic structure 6 in the form of a collapsible frame, on the top of which parallel rails 5 are arranged on opposite sides. These rails 5 are preferably the C-profile rails described in connection with FIG. 3. The loading and unloading of such a structure can also be described in connection with FIG. 3.

Der in Figur 6 dargestellte Grundaufbau oder Rahmen 6 besteht aus quaderförmig zusammengesetzten Rahmenrohren 11, 12 und 13. Dabei sind die Vertikalrohre 12 in der Mitte geteilt, wobei die oberen und unteren Hälften jeweils durch ein Scharnier 17 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Vertikalrohre 12 sind außerdem über weitere Scharniere 18 im Endbereich der oberen und unteren Längsrahmenrohre 11 angelenkt. In Querrichtung sind die vertikalen Rohre 12 und die Längsrohre 11 durch vier Querrohre 13 an den Ecken miteinander verbunden, so daß insgesamt der Rahmen 6 in den Umrissen eines Quaders aufgespannt wird. Außerdem weist dieser Rahmen 6 als Boden noch ein Bodengitter 16 auf. Nach unten wird der Rahmen 6 durch ein an zwei gegenüberliegenden Enden gekröpftes Bodenblech 14 abgeschlossen, welches durch darauf befestigte Querträger 15 verstärkt ist. Die Querträger 15 ermöglichen den Transport des Rahmens 6 mit Hilfe eines Gabelstaplers, ähnlich wie bei einer Palette. Man erkennt an den oberen Längsrohren 11 noch die innen angebrachten Profilschienen 5. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel haben die Rahmenrohre 11, 12 und 13 sämtlich einen quadratischen Querschnitt, sie können jedoch auch einen beliebigen anderen rechteckigen oder auch runden Querschnitt haben.The basic structure or frame 6 shown in FIG. 6 consists of frame tubes 11, 12 and 13 assembled in a cuboid shape. The vertical tubes 12 are divided in the middle, the upper and lower halves each being connected to one another by a hinge 17. The vertical tubes 12 are also articulated via further hinges 18 in the end region of the upper and lower longitudinal frame tubes 11. In the transverse direction, the vertical tubes 12 and the longitudinal tubes 11 are connected to one another by four transverse tubes 13 at the corners, so that the frame 6 is stretched overall in the outline of a cuboid. In addition, this frame 6 also has a floor grid 16 as the floor. At the bottom, the frame 6 is closed off by a bottom plate 14 which is cranked at two opposite ends and which is reinforced by cross members 15 fastened thereon. The cross member 15 allow the transport of the frame 6 with the help of a forklift, similar to a pallet. On the upper longitudinal tubes 11 you can still see the internally attached profile rails 5. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the frame tubes 11, 12 and 13 all have a square cross section, but they can also have any other rectangular or round cross section.

In Figur 7 ist derselbe Rahmen 6 im zusammengeklappten Zustand dargestellt. Die im Bereich der Scharniere 17 in Figur 6 erkennbaren Verriegelungen werden hierzu gelöst, so daß die oberen und unteren Hälften der Vertikalrohre 12 um die oberen und unteren Scharniere 18 verschwenkt werden können und dabei relativ zueinander um die Mittelscharniere 17 verschwenken, bis der in Figur 7 dargestellte, zusammengeklappte Zustand erreicht ist. Das Aufrichten und Ausklappen des Rahmens erfolgt umgekehrt, indem einfach das obere Rahmenrechteck, gebildet aus den oberen Längsrohren 11 und den Querrohren 13, angehoben wird, wobei die Hälften der Vertikalrohre 12 wieder um die Scharniere 18 und 17 verschwenken, bis der in Figur 6 dargestellte, gestreckte Zustand der Vertikalrohre 12 erreicht ist. In diesem Zustand werden die Verriegelungen 20 aktiviert, so daß die Vertikalrohre 12 nicht mehr im Bereich der Scharniere 17 einknicken können und damit im gestreckten Zustand bleiben. Es versteht sich, daß für einen solchen zusammenklappbaren Aufbau Rahmenrohre mit rechteckigem Querschanitt bevorzugt sind.In Figure 7, the same frame 6 is shown in the folded state. The locks which can be seen in the area of the hinges 17 in FIG. 6 are released for this purpose, so that the upper and lower halves of the vertical tubes 12 can be pivoted about the upper and lower hinges 18 and thereby pivot relative to one another about the central hinges 17 until the one in FIG shown, collapsed state is reached. The frame is erected and folded out in reverse by simply lifting the upper frame rectangle, formed from the upper longitudinal tubes 11 and the transverse tubes 13, the halves of the vertical tubes 12 pivoting again about the hinges 18 and 17 until the one shown in FIG. 6 , stretched state of the vertical tubes 12 is reached. In this state, the locks 20 are activated so that the vertical tubes 12 can no longer buckle in the area of the hinges 17 and thus remain in the stretched state. It goes without saying that frame tubes with a rectangular cross section are preferred for such a collapsible structure.

In Figur 8 ist der Verriegelungsmechanismus 20 genauer dargestellt. Die Rahmenrohre 12 sind hierzu durchsichtig gezeichnet. Der Verriegelungsmechanismus 20 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem im Inneren der Rohre 12 längsverschiebbar angeordneten Rohr 21, von dem aus sich in radialer Richtung ein Zapfen 22 durch einen L-förmigen Schlitz 24 im Rahmenrohr 12 nach außen erstreckt. Der Zapfen 22 ist mit einem Griffknopf 23 versehen. Im linken unteren Teil der Figur 8 ist der Verriegelungszustand dargestellt. Der Zapfen 22 liegt dabei am Ende des in Längsrichtung verlaufenden Schenkels des Schlitzes 24 an, und das Rohr 21 erstreckt sich über die am Scharnier 17 gebildete Verbindungsstelle der beiden oberen und unteren Rohrhälften des Rohres 12 hinaus. Vorzugsweise ist das Rohr 21 spielfrei oder mit nur sehr geringem Spiel in den Rohrhälften 12 geführt. In einer bevorzugten, jedoch hier nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Rohr 21 leicht exzentrisch ausgebildet, und der Schlitz 24 ist U-förmig, derart, daß durch Bewegung des Zapfens 22 imn zweiten U-Schenkel, der sich quer zur Längsrichtung der Rohre 12 erstreckt, das Rohr 21 nochmals relativ zu den Rohren 12 verdreht werden kann, so daß das Rohr 21 sich aufgrund seiner exzentrischen Form in den Rohren 12 verkeilt. Wird der Zapfen 22 zurückgeschwenkt in den sich in Längsrichtung der Rohre 12 erstreckenden Schlitzteil, so wird die größte exzentrische Ausdehnung des Rohres 21 mehr in Richtung der Diagonalen der Rohre 12 verdreht, so daß nunmehr das Rohr 21 in vertikaler Richtung mit Spiel in den Rohren 12 bewegbar ist. Zum Entriegeln wird der Zapfen 22 in dem Schlitz 24 aufwärts bewegt und erneut durch Verschwenken entlang des Querschenkels des Schlitzes 24 in dieser Position gesichert. Die Länge des Schlitzes 24 und die Lage seines oberen Querschenkels sind so auf die Länge des Rohres 21 bzw. den Abstand des Zapfens 22 zum unteren Rohrende abgestimmt, daß das Rohr 21 in dieser entriegelten Stellung vollständig in der oberen Hälfte des Rohres 12 aufgenommen ist und sich nicht mehr in die untere Hälfte des Rohres 12 erstreckt. In diesem Zustand können die beiden Rohrhälften 12 ohne weiteres um das Scharnier 17 gegeneinander verschwenkt werden.In Figure 8, the locking mechanism 20 is shown in more detail. The frame tubes 12 are drawn transparently for this purpose. The locking mechanism 20 essentially consists of a tube 21 arranged longitudinally displaceably in the interior of the tubes 12, from which a pin 22 extends in the radial direction to the outside through an L-shaped slot 24 in the frame tube 12. The pin 22 is provided with a handle button 23. The locking state is shown in the lower left part of FIG. The pin 22 lies against the end of the longitudinal leg of the slot 24, and the tube 21 extends beyond the connection point formed on the hinge 17 of the two upper and lower tube halves of the tube 12. The pipe 21 is preferably guided in the pipe halves 12 without play or with only very little play. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, which is not shown here, the tube 21 is designed to be slightly eccentric, and the slot 24 is U-shaped, such that by moving the pin 22 in the second U-leg, which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the tubes 12 extends, the tube 21 can be rotated again relative to the tubes 12 so that the tube 21 is wedged due to its eccentric shape in the tubes 12. If the pin 22 is pivoted back into the slot part extending in the longitudinal direction of the tubes 12, the greatest eccentric extension of the tube 21 is rotated more in the direction of the diagonals of the tubes 12, so that the tube 21 is now vertical with play in the tubes 12 is movable. To unlock the pin 22 is moved upward in the slot 24 and secured again in this position by pivoting along the transverse leg of the slot 24. The length of the slot 24 and the position of its upper transverse leg are so matched to the length of the tube 21 or the distance of the pin 22 to the lower tube end that the tube 21 is completely accommodated in the upper half of the tube 12 in this unlocked position and no longer extends into the lower half of the tube 12. In this state, the two tube halves 12 can easily be pivoted relative to one another about the hinge 17.

Eine Ausführungsform einer Be- und Entladeeinrichtung und eine Durchführung eines entsprechenden Be- und Entladevorganges einschließlich der zugehörigen Vorrichtung ist in den Figuren 9 bis 11 dargestellt. In Figur 9 erkennt man den bereits im Zusammenhang mit den Figuren 6 bis 8 näher beschriebenen Rahmen. In diesem Rahmen sind außerdem eingehängte Taschen 1 dargestellt, deren Tragestangen 4 mit Rollen 7 versehen sind, welche in den Profilschienen 5 laufen. Zusätzlich ist jedoch an einer Stirnseite des Rahmens 6 ein Laderahmen 30 über ein an seinem unteren Ende angebrachtes, lösbares Scharnier angelenkt. Die Funktion dieses Laderahmens 30 wird deutlich aus den Figuren 10 und 11. In Figur 10 ist der Laderahmen 30 in einem abgeklappten Zustand dargestellt. Dabei ist eine Tragestange 4 mit ihren Rollen im oberen Teil des Laderahmens 30 aufgenommen, das zugehörigen Tasche 1 hängt an einer Tragestange 4, die noch im Rahmen 6 aufgenommen ist. Durch Wegklappen des Laderahmens 30 von dem Rahmen 6 wird die Tasche geöffnet und man hat einen leichten Zugang, um die Tasche 1 zu be- oder entladen. Eine Sicherungskette 34 sorgt dafür, daß der Laderahmen nicht vollständig herabgeklappt wird, sondern unter einem Winkel zwischen 30 und 50° relativ zu den vertikalen Rohren 12 stehenbleibt, so daß die geladenen Teile nicht aus der Tasche 1 herausfallen. Es versteht sich, daß nicht nur die am vorderen Ende des Rahmens 6 befindliche Tasche auf diese Art und Weise be- und entladen werden kann, sondern daß auch alle folgenden Taschen auf die gleiche Art und Weise beladen oder entladen werden können.An embodiment of a loading and unloading device and a corresponding loading and unloading process including the associated device are shown in FIGS. 9 to 11. FIG. 9 shows the frame already described in more detail in connection with FIGS. 6 to 8. In this frame also suspended pockets 1 are shown, the support rods 4 are provided with rollers 7 which run in the rails 5. In addition, however, a loading frame 30 is articulated on an end face of the frame 6 via a detachable hinge attached to its lower end. The function of this loading frame 30 is clearly shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. In FIG. 10, the loading frame 30 is shown in a folded-down state. Here, a support rod 4 is added with its roles in the upper part of the loading frame 30, the associated bag 1 hangs on a support rod 4, which is still included in the frame 6. By folding the loading frame 30 away from the frame 6, the bag is opened and there is easy access to load or unload the bag 1. A safety chain 34 ensures that the loading frame is not completely folded down, but remains at an angle between 30 and 50 ° relative to the vertical tubes 12, so that the loaded parts do not fall out of the pocket 1. It goes without saying that not only the bag located at the front end of the frame 6 can be loaded and unloaded in this way, but also that all the following bags can be loaded or unloaded in the same way.

Zur Erläuterung dieses Vorganges wird zusätzlich auf die Figur 11 Bezug genommen. Zunächst soll der Entladevorgang beschrieben werden. Der lösbar am unteren Ende des Rahmens 6 angelenkte Laderahmen 30 wird mit seinem oberen Teil an den Rahmen 6 herangeklappt. Ein Ladenocken 33 gleitet dabei in den Schlitz 42 einer Rollenverriegelung 40 hinein. Diese Rollenverriegelung 40 besteht aus einem Rohr 41 mit dem bereits erwähnten Schlitz 42, wobei das Rohr 41 vertikal verschiebbar in dem oberen Ende eines Rahmenrohres 12 auf einer Druckfeder 43 gelagert ist Ein Verriegelungsbügel 44 ist an dem Rohr 41 befestigt und ist so ausgestaltet, daß er das stimseitig offene Ende der Profilschiene 5 verschließt, die an dem oberen Längsrohr 11 des Rahmens 6 angebracht ist, wenn das Rohr 41 unter der Wirkung der Druckfeder 43 sich in seiner oberen Endposition befindet. Ein Schlitz 45 im Rohr 12 fluchtet mit dem Schlitz 42, ist jedoch etwas länger ausgebildet als der Schlitz 42. Aus Gründen der Anschaulichkeit sind auch in Figur 11 die Rohre 11, 12 und 13 sowie auch andere Teile teilweise durchsichtig dargestelltTo explain this process, reference is also made to FIG. 11. The unloading process will first be described. The loading frame 30, which is detachably articulated at the lower end of the frame 6, is folded up onto the frame 6 with its upper part. A loading cam 33 slides into the slot 42 of a roller lock 40. This roller lock 40 consists of a tube 41 with the slot 42 already mentioned, the tube 41 being vertically displaceably mounted in the upper end of a frame tube 12 on a compression spring 43. A locking bracket 44 is fastened to the tube 41 and is designed such that it closes the end of the profile rail 5 which is open at the end and which is attached to the upper longitudinal tube 11 of the frame 6 when the tube 41 is in its upper end position under the action of the compression spring 43. A slot 45 in the tube 12 is aligned with the slot 42, but is somewhat longer than the slot 42. For reasons of clarity, the tubes 11, 12 and 13 and also other parts are also shown partially transparent in FIG. 11

Beim Heranklappen des Laderahmens 30 an den Rahmen 6 gleitet der Ladenocken 33 durch den Schlitz 45 in den Schlitz 42 hinein, wobei der Nocken 33 dabei so gestaltet und angebracht ist, daß durch den Eingriff des Nockens 33 in den Schlitz 42 das Rohr 41 gegen die Wirkung der Druckfeder 43 nach unten bewegt wird. Dabei wird auch der Bügel 44 nach unten gezogen und gibt die stirnseitige Öffnung der C-Profilschiene 5 frei. Die Rolle 7 kann dann nach vom aus der Profilschiene 5 herausrollen und gelangt dabei in die unmittelbar anschließende und sich in vertikaler Richtung erstreckende Profilschiene 35. Das obere Ende der Profilschiene 35 ist angeschrägt, um sicherzustellen, daß die Rolle 7 in die Profilschiene 35 hineinläuft und sicher darin aufgenommen werden kann. Im Abstand von dem oberen Ende der Profilschiene 35 ist ein Stoppriegel 36 vorgesehen, der sich in das Innere der Profilschiene 35 hinein erstreckt und so fedemd gelagert ist, daß er über einen Betätigungsknopf gegen die Federwirkung aus der Profilschiene 35 herausgezogen werden kann. Der Stoppriegel 36 stützt die Rolle 7 nach unten ab, sobald sie in das obere Ende der Profilschiene 35 hineingerollt ist. Die Profilschiene 35 hat zweckmäßigerweise exakt den gleichen Querschnitt wie die Profilschiene 5. Es versteht sich, daß der eben beschriebene Vorgang gleichzeitig auf beiden Seiten des Laderahmens 30 bzw. des Rahmens 6 stattfindet Damit erstreckt sich also die erste Haltestange 4 zwischen den oberen Enden der Profilschienen 35 am Laderahmen 30, wobei die zugehörigen Rollen 7 in dem oberen Abschnitt der Profilschienen 35 sicher gehaltert sind. In diesem Zustand wird der Laderahmen 30 von dem Rahmen 6 weggeklappt in die in Figur 10 dargestellte Stellung. Dabei wird durch die erste Tragestange 4 das eine Ende der Tasche 1 mitgenommen, während das andere Ende an der nächstfolgenden Tragestange 4 hängt, die sich noch am Rahmen 6 befindet. Während des Wegklappens des Laderahmens 30 wird nämlich der Ladenocken 33 aus dem Schlitz 42 herausgezogen, so daß das Rohr 41 sich unter der Wirkung der Druckfeder 43 wieder nach oben bewegt und die stirnseitige Öffnung der Profilschiene 5 vor der nächstfolgenden Rolle 7 wieder verschließt.When the loading frame 30 is folded up against the frame 6, the loading cam 33 slides through the slot 45 into the slot 42, the cam 33 being designed and attached so that the tube 41 against the engagement of the cam 33 in the slot 42 Effect of the compression spring 43 is moved down. The bracket 44 is also pulled down and the front opening of the C-rail 5 is free. The roller 7 can then roll out of the profile rail 5 and thereby reaches the immediately adjoining and extending in the vertical direction profile rail 35. The upper end of the profile rail 35 is chamfered to ensure that the roller 7 runs into the profile rail 35 and can be safely included. At a distance from the upper end of the profile rail 35, a stop bolt 36 is provided which extends into the interior of the profile rail 35 and is spring-mounted so that it can be pulled out of the profile rail 35 against the spring action via an actuating button. The stop bolt 36 supports the roller 7 downwards as soon as it is rolled into the upper end of the rail 35. The profile rail 35 expediently has exactly the same cross-section as the profile rail 5. It goes without saying that the process just described takes place simultaneously on both sides of the loading frame 30 or the frame 6. The first support rod 4 thus extends between the upper ends of the profile rails 35 on the loading frame 30, the associated rollers 7 being securely held in the upper section of the profile rails 35. In this state, the loading frame 30 is folded away from the frame 6 into the position shown in FIG. 10. In this case, one end of the pocket 1 is carried along by the first carrying rod 4, while the other end hangs on the next carrying rod 4, which is still on the frame 6. While the loading frame 30 is being folded away, the loading cam 33 is pulled out of the slot 42, so that the tube 41 moves up again under the action of the compression spring 43 and the front opening of the profile rail 5 closes again before the next roller 7.

Nachdem nun das in der Tasche 1 aufgenommene Stückgut entladen ist, wird der Stoppriegel 36 gelöst, so daß die Tragestange 4 mit ihren Rollen 7 in der Profilschiene 35 weiter nach unten gleiten kann. Soweit erforderlich, wird dabei die Bahn 2 der betreffenden Tasche 1 nach unten in Falten gelegt. In diesem Zustand wird der Laderahmen 30 wieder an den Rahmen 6 herangeklappt, wobei sich derselbe Vorgang mit der nächstfolgenden Tragestange 4 und ihren Rollen 7 wiederholt, so daß nunmehr also die zweite Tasche geöffnet wird. Dieses wird fortgesetzt, bis sämtliche Taschen 1 entladen sind, wobei die leeren Taschen jeweils außerhalb des Laderahmens 30 in Falten gelegt werden können.After the piece goods received in the pocket 1 are unloaded, the stop bolt 36 is released so that the support rod 4 with its rollers 7 can slide further down the rail 35. If necessary, the web 2 of the pocket 1 in question is folded down. In this state, the loading frame 30 is folded back onto the frame 6, the same process being repeated with the next support bar 4 and its rollers 7, so that the second bag is now opened. This continues until all pockets 1 have been unloaded, the empty pockets being able to be folded in each case outside the loading frame 30.

Der Beladevorgang verläuft entsprechend umgekehrt, indem nacheinander die Tragestangen 4 mit ihren Rollen 7 über den Stoppriegel 36 angehoben werden, der zu diesem Zweck kurzzeitig entriegelt wird, woraufhin der Laderahmen 30 an den Rahmen 6 herangeklappt wird, so daß man nun die Tragestange 4 mit ihren Rollen 7 in die Profilschiene 5 hinüberrollen bzw. schieben kann. Dann wird die nächstfolgende Tragestange 4 mit den Rollen 7 über den Stoppriegel 36 angehoben und in dieser Position gesichert, woraufhin der Laderahmen 30 weggeklappt werden kann und dabei die betreffende Tasche 1 leicht zugänglich öffnet. Sobald die Tasche 1 beladen ist, wird der Laderahmen 30 wieder an den Rahmen 6 herangeklappt, die obere Tragestange 4 wird mit ihren Rollen 7 in die Profilschienen 5 eingeschoben und es kann die nächste Tragestange 4 nach dem Entriegeln des Stoppriegels 36 über diesen hinweg angehoben werden, so daß nun die nächste Tasche geöffnet und beladen werden kann.The loading process is accordingly reversed by successively lifting the support rods 4 with their rollers 7 via the stop bolt 36, which is briefly unlocked for this purpose, whereupon the loading frame 30 is folded up onto the frame 6, so that the support rod 4 can now be moved with it Roll 7 in the rail 5 roll over or push. Then the next support bar 4 is lifted with the rollers 7 over the stop bar 36 and secured in this position, whereupon the loading frame 30 can be folded away and the relevant pocket 1 opens easily accessible. As soon as the bag 1 is loaded, the loading frame 30 is folded back onto the frame 6, the upper support rod 4 is pushed with its rollers 7 into the profile rails 5 and the next support rod 4 can be lifted over it after unlocking the stop bolt 36 , so that the next bag can now be opened and loaded.

Eine weitere, nicht dargestellte Ausführungsform einer Be- und Entladevorrichtung ist der eben beschriebenen Vorrichtung mit einem Laderahmen sehr ähnlich, wobei jedoch der entsprechende Laderahmen am oberen Ende des Rahmens 6 gelenkig angeordnet ist und mit seinem unteren Ende nach oben geklappt werden kann, so daß die Rollen 7 nacheinander direkt in damit fluchtende Profilschienen, ähnlich den Profilschienen 35, hinübergerollt werden können. Das freie Ende eines solchen Laderahmens muß dann gegebenenfalls abgestützt werden. Auch dabei öffnen sich nacheinander die einzelnen Taschen. Ein solcher Laderahmen könnte auch, sofern er lösbar an dem oberen Ende des Rahmens 36 angelenkt ist, die bereits beschriebenen Ladeschienen ersetzen.Another embodiment, not shown, of a loading and unloading device is the same described device with a loading frame very similar, but the corresponding loading frame is articulated at the upper end of the frame 6 and can be folded up with its lower end so that the rollers 7 successively directly in alignment rails, similar to the profile rails 35, can be rolled over. The free end of such a loading frame may then need to be supported. The individual pockets also open one after the other. Such a loading frame could also, if it is detachably articulated to the upper end of the frame 36, replace the loading rails already described.
