Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kassette zur Aufbewahrung von Gegenständen, insbesondere Werkzeugen wie Schneidwerkzeuge, Bohrwerkzeuge und dergleichen, mit einem aus Vorderwand, Rückwand, zwei Seitenwänden und einem Bodenteil gebildeten Kassettenunterteil, mit einem an der Rückwand gelenkig angeschlossenen Deckelteil und wenigstens einem im Kassettenunterteil zwischen den Seitenwänden angeordneten, an die Vorderwand angrenzenden Einsatzteil, das vollständig aus dem Kassettenunterteil ausstellbar ist. Eine derartige Kassette ist z.B. aus der US-A-3301619 bereits bekannt.The invention relates to a cassette for storing objects, in particular tools such as cutting tools, drilling tools and the like, with a lower part of the cassette formed from the front wall, rear wall, two side walls and a bottom part, with a lid part hinged to the rear wall and at least one in the lower part of the cassette between the side walls arranged, adjacent to the front wall insert, which is completely extendable from the lower part of the cassette. Such a cassette is e.g. already known from US-A-3301619.

Bei bekannten derartigen Kassetten ist das Einsatzteil als eigenständiges Teil in das Kassettenunterteil eingesetzt, kann also zur Entnahme der unterhalb des Einsatzteils angeordenten Werkzeuge vollständig aus dem Kassettenunterteil herausgenommen werden. Hierdurch besteht zunächst die Gefahr, daß das Einsatzteil nach Abschluß der mit Hilfe der in der Kassette aufbewahrten Gegenstände durchgeführten Arbeiten nicht wieder in das Kassettenunterteil zurückgestellt, also vergessen wird und damit verloren geht. Da das Einsatzteil in der Regel zugleich als Anschlag für beispielsweise in Schwenkeinsätzen angeordnete weitere Werkzeuge wie Spiralbohrer oder Gewindebohrer dient, können diese aus ihren Aufnahmen herausfallen, wenn beim Schließen und Aufnehmen der Kassette vergessen wird, zunächst das Einsatzteil in das Kassettenunterteil einzusetzen.In known cassettes of this type, the insert part is inserted as an independent part in the lower part of the cassette, so it can be removed from below the insert part arranged tools can be completely removed from the lower part of the cassette. As a result, there is initially the risk that after the work carried out with the aid of the items stored in the cassette has been completed, the insert will not be put back into the lower part of the cassette, ie it will be forgotten and thus be lost. Since the insert generally also serves as a stop for other tools such as twist drills or taps arranged in swivel inserts, they can fall out of their holders if you forget to insert and insert the insert into the lower part of the cassette.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kassette der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß bei bestimmungsgemäßem Gebrauch Schließen des Deckelteils nur bei in das Kassettenunterteil zurückgesetztem Einsatzteil möglich ist, ohne daß die Entnahme der unterhalb des Einsatzteil angeordneten Werkzeuge erschwert wird.The invention has for its object to design a cassette of the type mentioned in such a way that, when used as intended, the lid part can only be closed when the insert part is set back into the lower part of the cassette, without making it difficult to remove the tools arranged underneath the insert part.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß am Einsatzteil wenigstens zwei Auslegerarme angeschlossen sind, die parallel zu den Seitenwänden verlaufen und an ihrem freien Ende eine die Ausstellbewegung begrenzende Anschlagfläche für einen am oberen Rand von der Seitenwand vorstehenden Vorsprung aufweisen, wobei der Vorsprung zugleich die der Vorderwand gegenüberliegende Begrenzung für das Einsatzteil bildet, und daß die Auslegerarme an ihrer zum Bodenteil weisenden Unterseite jeweils eine Aussparung aufweisen, in die bei ausgestelltem Einsatzteil der obere Rand der Vorderwand greift.This object is achieved according to the invention in that at least two cantilever arms are connected to the insert part, which run parallel to the side walls and have at their free end a stop surface limiting the deployment movement for a projection projecting at the upper edge of the side wall, the projection at the same time forms the boundary for the insert part opposite the front wall, and that the extension arms each have a recess on their underside facing the bottom part, into which the upper edge of the front wall engages when the insert part is exposed.

Der durch die Erfindung erreichte Vorteil besteht im wesentlichen darin, daß das Einsatzteil zwar vollständig aus dem Kassettenunterteil ausgehoben werden kann, so daß die darunter befindlichen Gegenstände bzw. Werkzeuge frei zugänglich sind, daß gleichwohl aber über die Auslegerarme eine Verbindung zu dem Kassettenunterteil besteht, so daß ein Schließen des Deckelteils nur dann möglich ist, wenn das Einsatzteil wieder vollständig in das Kassettenunterteil eingebracht ist. Die Aussparungen an den Auslegerarmen sorgen dabei für eine Fixierung des Einsatzteils in seiner ausgestellten Lage. Dennoch besteht die Möglichkeit, das Einsatzteil bedarfsweise vollständig vom Kassettenunterteil zu lösen, indem die Auslegerarme durch Anheben des Einsatzteils soweit nach unten geschwenkt werden, daß die Anschlagfläche unterhalb des Vorsprungs durchtreten kann. Eine vollständige Entnahme des Einsatzteils wird jedoch nur in seltenen Ausnahmefällen erforderlich sein und bedarf darüberhinaus zusätzlicher Handgriffe, so daß bei üblichem Gebrauch der Kassette das Einsatzteil stets mit dem Kassettenunterteil in Verbindung bleiben wird.The advantage achieved by the invention consists essentially in the fact that the insert part can be completely lifted out of the lower part of the cassette, so that the objects or tools underneath are freely accessible, but that there is nevertheless a connection to the lower part of the cassette via the extension arms, so that a closing of the cover part is only possible when the insert part is fully inserted into the lower part of the cassette. The recesses on the cantilever arms ensure that the insert is fixed in its exposed position. Nevertheless, there is the possibility of completely detaching the insert part from the lower part of the cassette, if necessary, by pivoting the extension arms downwards by lifting the insert part so that the stop surface can pass below the projection. However, complete removal of the insert will only be required in rare exceptional cases and, moreover, requires additional manipulations, so that the insert will always remain in contact with the lower part of the cassette during normal use of the cassette.

In bevorzugter Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der unterhalb des Einsatzteils verlaufende Teil des Auslegerarms an seinem unteren Rand eine sich bis zur Aussparung erstreckende schräge Anlaufkufe bildet. Dadurch wird das Einsatzteil nach dem Ausheben aus dem Kassettenunterteil beim weiteren, im wesentlichen horizontalen Ausziehen, geringfügig angehoben, bis der Rand der Vorderwand in die Aussparung gleitet. Die Aussparung ist dabei vorteilhafterweise im Randbereich des Einsatzteils angeordnet, so daß das Einsatzteil in seiner ausgestellten Lage das Kassettenunterteil vollständig freigibt.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the part of the cantilever arm running below the insert part forms at its lower edge an inclined run-up runner which extends as far as the recess. As a result, the insert part is slightly raised after being lifted out of the lower part of the cassette when it is pulled further, essentially horizontally, until the edge of the front wall slides into the recess. The recess is advantageously arranged in the edge region of the insert part, so that the insert part in its exposed position completely removes the lower part of the cassette releases.

Weiter ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Auslegerarme in dem unterhalb des Einsatzteils verlaufenden Bereich winkelprofilförmig ausgebildet sind, da dann der eine Schenkel des Winkelprofils als Anschluß an der Unterseite des Einsatzteils Verwendung finden kann.It is also advantageous if the cantilever arms are designed in the form of an angle profile in the region running below the insert part, since then one leg of the angle profile can be used as a connection on the underside of the insert part.

Das Einsatzteil ist vorteilhafterweise mit einem Griffelement zum Ausheben aus dem Kassettenunterteil versehen. Hierdurch erübrigt es sich, das Einsatzteil beispielsweise an einer der Seitenwände zu greifen. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Griffelement an zwei Flügelteilen angeschlossen, die am vorderseitigen Rand des Einsatzteil nach unten vorstehen, wobei die Vorderwand des Kassettenunterteils im Bereich der Flügelteile mit einer Aussparung versehen ist. Das Griffelement kann dann Zugleich zum Transport der Kassette dienen. Die beiden Flügelteile sind an ihrem unteren freien Rand vorteilhafterweise mit einer zu den Auslegerarmen hin gerichteten, leichten Abwinklung versehen, um das Einsatzteil leichter in das Kassettenunterteil einführen zu können. Die Flügelteile sind in besonders einfacher Ausgestaltung der Erfindung aus dem Boden des Einsatzteils freigeschnitten und rechtwinklig aufgestellt.The insert part is advantageously provided with a handle element for lifting out of the lower part of the cassette. This makes it unnecessary to grip the insert, for example, on one of the side walls. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the handle element is connected to two wing parts which project downward on the front edge of the insert part, the front wall of the lower part of the cassette being provided with a recess in the area of the wing parts. The grip element can then also be used to transport the cassette. The two wing parts are advantageously provided on their lower free edge with a slight bend directed towards the cantilever arms in order to be able to insert the insert part more easily into the lower part of the cassette. In a particularly simple embodiment of the invention, the wing parts are cut free from the bottom of the insert part and set up at right angles.

Weiter ist im Rahmen der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß am Auslegerarm ein Mitnahmefinger zum Aufstellen eines im Kassettenunterteil im Bereich der Vorderwand gelenkig angeschlossenen Schwenkeinsatzes für die Aufnahme von Werkzeugen angeordnet ist. Dieser Schwenkeinsatz befindet sich also bei geschlossener Kassette unterhalb des Einsatzteiles und wird beim Ausstellen des Einsatzteils in eine schräg aufwärts gerichtete Lage gebracht, wodurch die Entnahme von beispielsweise im Schwenkeinsatz angeordneten Spiralbohrern erleichtert wird. Der Schwenkeinsatz ist dabei vorteilhafterweise mit seitlich vorstehenden Lagerzungen versehen, die in mit Lagerausnehmungen versehenen Lagerlaschen gehalten sind. Unterhalb des Schwenkeinsatzes kann zusätzlich ein ebenfalls durch Lagerzungen in den Lagerausnehmungen gehaltenes Stützteil angeordnet sein, das an seinem den Lagerzungen abgewandten Rand eine rechtwinklig aufgebogene Anschlagleiste für die Werkzeuge aufweist.It is further provided within the scope of the invention that a driving finger is arranged on the cantilever arm for setting up a pivoting insert articulated in the lower part of the cassette in the region of the front wall for holding tools. This swivel insert is therefore below the when the cassette is closed Insert part and is brought into an obliquely upward position when the insert part is exhibited, which facilitates the removal of, for example, twist drills arranged in the swivel insert. The swivel insert is advantageously provided with laterally projecting bearing tongues which are held in bearing brackets provided with bearing recesses. A supporting part, which is likewise held by bearing tongues in the bearing recesses and has a stop bar for the tools which is bent at right angles to its edge facing away from the bearing tongues, can additionally be arranged below the pivot insert.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung an einem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert; es zeigen:

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Kassette dient zur Aufbewahrung von Gegenständen, insbesondere von im einzelnen nicht dargestellten Werkzeugen wie Schneidwerkzeuge, Bohrwerkzeuge und dergleichen.The cassette shown in the drawing is used for Storage of objects, in particular tools such as cutting tools, drilling tools and the like, not shown in detail.

Die Kassette besteht im einzelnen aus einem Kassettenunterteil 1 mit einer Vorderwand 2, einer Rückwand 3, zwei Seitenwänden 4 sowie einem Bodenteil 5, ferner aus einem an der Rückwand 3 gelenkig angeschlossenem Deckelteil 6 und einem im Kassettenunterteil zwischen den Seitenwänden 4 angeordneten Einsatzteil 7, das bei geschlossener Kassette an die Vorderwand 2 angrenzt.The cassette consists in detail of a lower part 1 of the cassette with a front wall 2, a rear wall 3, two side walls 4 and a bottom part 5, furthermore a cover part 6 articulated to the rear wall 3 and an insert part 7 arranged in the lower part of the cassette between the side walls 4, which adjacent to the front wall 2 when the cassette is closed.

Im Bereich der Gelenkachse des Deckelteils 6 ist ein Schwenkeinsatz 8 angeordnet, der über ein oder mehrere, in der Zeichnung nicht wiedergegebene Verbindungsglieder mit dem Deckelteil 6 verbunden sein kann und somit beim Öffnen der Kassette selbsttätig aufgestellt wird. Dieser Schwenkeinsatz 8 dient beispielsweise zur Aufnahme von Gewindebohrern.In the area of the hinge axis of the cover part 6, a swivel insert 8 is arranged, which can be connected to the cover part 6 via one or more connecting links, not shown in the drawing, and thus is automatically set up when the cassette is opened. This swivel insert 8 is used, for example, to accommodate taps.

Am Einsatzteil 7 sind an dessen Unterseite zwei Auslegerarme 9 angeordnet, die parallel zu den Seitenwänden 4 verlaufen und an ihrem freien Ende eine Anschlagfläche 10 aufweisen, die von einem hakenförmig nach oben stehenden Teil gebildet wird und die Ausstellbewegung des Einsatzteils 7 zusammen mit einem am oberen Rand von der Seitenwand 4 vorstehenden Vorsprung 11 begrenzt. Der Vorsprung 11 bildet zugleich die der Vorderwand 2 gegenüberliegende Begrenzung für das Einsatzteil 7, so daß dieses in seiner in das Kassettenunterteil 1 eingestellten Lage einerseits durch die Seitenwände 4 und andererseits durch die Vorderwand 2 bzw. den Vorsprung 11 gehalten ist.On the insert part 7 two outrigger arms 9 are arranged on the underside thereof, which run parallel to the side walls 4 and have a stop surface 10 at their free end, which is formed by a hook-like upstanding part and the deployment movement of the insert part 7 together with one on the top Edge of the side wall 4 protruding projection 11 is limited. The projection 11 also forms the boundary for the insert part 7 opposite the front wall 2, so that this in its position set in the lower part 1 of the cassette on the one hand through the side walls 4 and on the other hand through the front wall 2 or the projection 11 is held.

Die Auslegerarme 9 weisen an ihrer zum Bodenteil 5 weisenden Unterseite jeweils eine Aussparung 12 auf, in die bei ausgestelltem Einsatzteil 7 gemäß Fig. 2 der obere Rand der Vorderwand 2 greift. Auf diese Weise ist das Einsatzteil 7 in seiner aus dem Kassettenunterteil ausgestellten Lage fixiert.The cantilever arms 9 each have a recess 12 on their underside facing the bottom part 5, into which the upper edge of the front wall 2 engages when the insert part 7 is shown in FIG. 2. In this way, the insert 7 is fixed in its position shown in the lower part of the cassette.

Der unterhalb des Einsatzteils 7 verlaufende Teil des Auslegerarmes 9 bildet an seinem unteren Rand eine sich bis zur Aussparung 12 erstreckende schräge Anlaufkufe 13. Hierdurch besteht die Möglichkeit, das Einsatzteil 7 nach dem Ausheben aus dem Kassettenunterteil 1 in der Art einer Schublade nach vorne zu ziehen, bis die Aussparung 12 am oberen Rand der Vorderwand 2 einrastet. Die Aussparung 12 ist im Randbereich des Einsatzteils 7, also unterhalb der rückseitigen Wand angeordnet, wodurch das Einsatzteil 7 in seiner ausgestellten Lage den Öffnungsquerschnitt des Kassettenunterteils 1 vollständig freigibt. Um die Auslegerarme 3 einfach am Einsatzteil 7 anschließen zu können, sind diese in dem unterhalb des Einsatzteils verlaufenden Bereich winkelprofilförmig ausgebildet.The part of the cantilever arm 9 running underneath the insert part 7 forms at its lower edge an inclined run-up skid 13 which extends to the recess 12. This makes it possible to pull the insert part 7 forward in the manner of a drawer after it has been removed from the lower part of the cassette until the recess 12 engages in the upper edge of the front wall 2. The recess 12 is arranged in the edge region of the insert part 7, that is to say below the rear wall, as a result of which the insert part 7 in its exposed position completely clears the opening cross section of the lower part 1 of the cassette. In order to be able to simply connect the cantilever arms 3 to the insert part 7, they are designed in the area below the insert part to have an angular profile.

Das Einsatzteil 7 ist zum einfacheren Ausheben aus dem Kassettenunterteil 1 mit einem Griffelement 14 in Form eines kunststoffummantelten Metallbandes versehen. Das Griffelement 14 ist im einzelnen an Zwei Flügelteilen 15 angeschlossen, die am vorderseitigen Rand des Einsatzteil 7 nach unten vorstehen. Die Vorderwand 2 des Kassettenunterteils 1 ist dazu im Bereich der Flügelteile 15 mit einer Aussparung 16 versehen, durch die die Anschlußpunkte des Griffelements 14 bei im Kassettenunterteil 1 angeordneten Einsatzteil 7 hindurchtreten können. Die beiden Flügelteile 15 sind an ihrem unteren freien Rand mit einer zu den Auslegerarmen 9 hin gerichteten, leichten Abwinklung 17 versehen, um das Einsetzen des Einsatzteil 7 in das Kassettenunterteil 1 zu erleichtern. Die Flügelteile 15 selbst können in nicht näher dargestellter Weise aus dem Boden des Einsatzteils 7 freigeschnitten und rechtwinklig aufgestellt sein.The insert part 7 is provided with a handle element 14 in the form of a plastic-coated metal band for easier removal from the lower part of the cassette 1. The grip element 14 is connected in detail to two wing parts 15 which protrude downward on the front edge of the insert part 7. The front wall 2 of the lower part 1 of the cassette is provided in the area of the wing parts 15 with a recess 16 through which the connection points of the grip element 14 at Cassette lower part 1 arranged insert 7 can pass through. The two wing parts 15 are provided at their lower free edge with a slight bend 17 directed towards the extension arms 9 in order to facilitate the insertion of the insert part 7 into the lower part 1 of the cassette. The wing parts 15 themselves can be cut free from the bottom of the insert part 7 and set up at right angles in a manner not shown.

Unterhalb des Einsatzteils 7 ist jeweils ein an die Seitenwand 4 angrenzender im Bereich der Vorderwand 2 gelenkig angeschlossener Schwenkeinsatz 18 vorgesehen, der zur Aufnahme von weiteren Werkzeugen, insbesondere von Spiralbohrern dient. Am Auslegerarm 9 ist ein Mitnahmefinger 19 vorgesehen, durch den der Schwenkeinsatz 18 aufgestellt wird, wenn das Einsatzteil 7 aus dem Kassettenunterteil 1 heraus in seine ausgestellte Lage überführt wird.Provided underneath the insert part 7 is a swivel insert 18, which adjoins the side wall 4 and is articulated in the region of the front wall 2, and serves to hold further tools, in particular twist drills. On the cantilever arm 9, a driving finger 19 is provided, by means of which the swivel insert 18 is set up when the insert part 7 is moved out of the lower part 1 of the cassette into its exposed position.

Der Schwenkeinsatz 18 ist in nicht näher dargestellter Weise mit seitlich vorstehenden Lagerzungen versehen, die in mit Lagerausnehmungen 20 versehenen Lagerlaschen 21 im Kassettenunterteil 1 gehalten sind.The swivel insert 18 is provided in a manner not shown in detail with laterally projecting bearing tongues which are held in bearing brackets 21 provided with bearing recesses 20 in the lower part 1 of the cassette.
