Definitions
- the invention relates to a reusable packaging system, comprising reusable packaging according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a possibility with which a combination of different module elements of both a module system and different module systems can be carried out simply and inexpensively.
- the combinable modular elements such as tray-like floor / cover elements or wall frame elements, have an interface configuration provided over the circumference of the respective elements, such that the individual elements alone are independent of their general shape, size and design a compatible interface configuration can be connected to other module elements.
- the interface is configured in the region of the upper edge of a module element by the arrangement of tongue and groove connections, which are preferably designed in the form of immediately adjacent tongues and recesses.
- the direct transition between the tongues and recesses is in particular stepless, namely in the form of an inclined surface.
- the inclination of this inclined surface corresponds to the inclination of the inclined surfaces with which the tongues and recesses are offset from the interface surface and is preferably 30 °.
- the tongues and recesses engage in the respective corresponding recesses and tongues of an opposing module element, so that a connection or locking of the elements is achieved overall.
- the tongues or recesses can extend over the entire width of the interface edge; however, they can also be made narrower than the width of the interface edge.
- the interface edge can be designed in the form of a bumper strip projecting outwards, in particular in the case of module elements which are designed as base or cover elements.
- the tongues / recesses are preferably conical.
- the outer surfaces of the tongues are designed in alignment with the preferably straight outer wall of the container.
- the inner surface of the tongue / recess contributes to the conical formation of the tongues and recesses in addition to the lateral inclined surfaces.
- the obliquely outward configuration of the inner surface of the tongue advantageously enables problem-free stacking of similar top / bottom elements.
- the tongues and recesses are advantageously dimensioned such that the upper edge of the tongues, which runs parallel to the cutting plane, lies flush on a corresponding surface of the recesses and thus contributes to the load transfer of the supporting module elements.
- the interface it is advantageous both for manufacturing and design reasons to provide a tongue and a recess in the immediate vicinity as interface configuration elements.
- a certain number of these tongues / recesses is evenly “in series", i.e. seen in an alternating sequence over the scope of the interface.
- the arrangement “in series” enables a further degree of freedom with regard to the connection possibilities, since the module elements can be arranged on one another in two positions, which are different by rotation through 180 ° about the vertical axis of the container.
- the interface configuration can further be characterized by suitably arranged locking elements.
- locking elements are, for example, snap-in or snap-in lugs which are arranged in the area of the interface and, when the module-like elements are brought together, bring about a secure locking of the same.
- this can involve semicircular, partially undercut snap noses, which are also provided on the outside of the container and are designed in an aligned arrangement therewith.
- semicircular cone-like extensions can be provided in the region of the interface in a semicircular recess, which complement a corresponding configuration of an oppositely arranged module element and form a total of two semicircular cones which are adjacent can be closed by means of a ring element.
- This ring element can preferably be so-called tamper-evident rings, which engage, for example, in a groove provided on the pin side, in such a way that loosening of such rings is only accompanied by their destruction.
- a preferably hot water-soluble adhesive connection is also conceivable for fixing the module elements.
- deflecting ribs are provided in addition to the transverse ribs, which are preferably at an angle of 90 ° to the longitudinal ribs.
- the purpose of these is to avoid placing the cardboard bottom on one of the longitudinal ribs when loading the containers, for example with cardboard boxes.
- the deflection ribs are designed to taper inwards from the edge of the frame element and are designed in their shape in such a way that they reject objects to be loaded from the longitudinal ribs and thus enable proper loading activity.
- tray-shaped base / cover elements As already indicated above, these advantageously consist of a circumferential bumper strip, on the upper edge of which the interface is formed.
- the side wall extending from the bumper to the lid / bottom is preferably conical in order to cooperate in a suitable manner with the tongues of the interface, which are likewise conical, when stacked.
- the corner areas of such tray-like base / cover elements are non-conical, so that when such elements are stacked, the corner areas in particular form an enlarged area for load transfer.
- the interface is complementary in this regard, ie in this case no tongues or recesses are provided in the corner areas.
- the proposed interface configuration is suitable, regardless of the size, the general shape and the particular design of separable module elements, for securely connecting or latching the respective elements.
- the tongue-recess pairs described as a repeating element for configuring the interface it is possible to design and manufacture it in a simple manner.
- the proposed combination of the designing interface elements and their arrangement enables a compatible design of the interface and thus a connection of different elements.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of a reusable transport container consisting of module elements
- FIG. 2 shows a side view of the narrow side of a reusable transport container according to FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 shows a side view of the inner wall of a wall frame element
- FIG. 4 shows a partial view of the outside of a wall frame element according to FIG. 3
- 5 is a side view of the long side of a bottom / cover element
- FIG. 6 shows a side view of the narrow side of a base / cover element according to FIG. 5,
- FIG. 7 is a plan view of the corner area of an interface of a wall frame element and the hinge locking provided here
- FIG. 8 shows a plan view of the corner region of an upper side of the container, the corner not being conical.
- the module-like container generally designated 1 in FIG. 1 consists of a cover element 2, a preferably collapsible wall frame element 3 and a base element 2, which is preferably identical in design to the cover element. Furthermore, between the wall frame element 3 and the overlying or underlying cover or base element, an interface 4 becomes clear, which shows a toothed appearance towards the outside. This appearance is essentially characterized by the mutual engagement of the tongues 5 in corresponding recesses 6 of the elements. The lower / upper edge of the interface 4 is formed in the area of the cover / bottom elements 2 in the form of a peripheral bumper strip 4. As the Fig.
- the bumper strip 7 extends over the circumference of the delimiting side walls of the base / cover elements
- FIG. 2 shows a side view of a modular reusable transport container according to FIG. 1.
- the interface is here also arranged in pairs by tongues 5 and recesses 6, two tongue recesses in each case. pairs of pairs 5, 6 are provided per narrow side, configured.
- Both the tongues 5 and the recesses 6 are offset from the plane of the interface 4 via inclined surfaces 7.
- the angle of the inclined surface is preferably 30 °.
- the recessed grips 9 can be seen, which in this exemplary embodiment are designed in the form of trough-shaped depressions, that is to say not broken through to the interior of the container.
- the hinge 10 can also be seen, which is preferably designed as a film hinge.
- the wall frame element 3 shows a side view of the inner wall of a wall frame element 3, as is used in particular for the long side of the wall frame.
- the wall frame element 3 has pivot pins 11 on both narrow sides for the movable connection to wall frame elements, in particular wall frame narrow sides.
- the tongues 5 and recesses 6 can also be seen in pairs in the region of the interface.
- two pairs of tongues and recesses are preferably provided for each interface, which are arranged in series, ie tongues and recesses are arranged alternately.
- the tongues 5 and the recesses 6 are formed in their width only over a partial area of the interface edge, namely the outer edge thereof.
- the stiffening ribs provided on the inner wall, which prevent the wall frame elements from twisting and thus ensure a safe interaction of the interface with the complementary interface of another module element.
- the vertical stiffening elements are preferably aligned with the lateral ends of the tongues and recesses, which leads to an increase in strength in the area of the interface configuration.
- the stiffening elements include in particular longitudinal ribs 12, which are arranged at the edges, and longitudinal ribs 12a, which are provided parallel and at a distance from the longitudinal ribs 12.
- the longitudinal ribs 12 and 12a are connected to the transverse ribs 13 arranged perpendicularly thereto.
- deflection ribs 13a are additionally provided. As shown, these extend from the marginal longitudinal rib 12 over the longitudinal rib 12a and then taper to the inside of the wall. These are also preferably arranged in the area of the interface configuration.
- FIG. 4 shows a partial view of the outside of the wall frame element according to FIG. 3.
- the recess 14 in the region of the interface 4 can also be seen . This serves to guide tensioning straps, with the aid of which several module elements can be securely connected.
- the outside is completely smooth-walled due to the ribs formed on the inside, which leads to a maximization of the advertising medium area.
- FIG. 5 shows a side view of the long side of a cover or base element. This figure in particular shows the non-conical design of the corner areas 15.
- FIG. 6 shows a side view of the narrow side of a cover or base element 2 according to FIG. 5.
- the arrangement of the recessed grip 9 is again clear here.
- a latching lug 16 which is provided in the area of the hinge pin and has a blind hole-like recess 17, which is provided in the area of the corresponding hinge wing, is used to latch the hinge in the open state of the wall frame element 3 , cooperates in such a way that tensioned state, the catch 16 snaps into the blind hole-like recess 17 and thus a folding of the hinge wings formed by the wall frame elements is only possible with the application of force.
- FIG. 8 finally shows a top view of a cover element 2.
- the non-conical design of the corner regions 15 is clear from this illustration.
- the corner region 15 is offset from the otherwise conical side walls 16 of the module elements 2. This enables the module elements 2 to be securely stacked one inside the other, since the non-conical design of the corner regions 15 provides an enlarged contact surface for load transfer.
