Abstract

The separate halves of the box are each shaped to hold selected contents. One edge of the box half has hinge mouldings (5) offset towards one end and with the hinge sections and their spacings in equal lengths. This allows similar box halves to be linked by a single hinge pin (15), which is secured in the hinge sections by a ratchet grip. The box halves can be provided with recesses for magnets which secure the close box. Alternately the open ends of the box can be secured by a similar hinge section and pin arrangement. Carrying grips on the box halves complete the fitting. <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Boxenteil für eine Box mit Kunststoffaufnahmen für Teile eines Satzes von Stücken, wie beispielsweise von Schraubschlüsselsätzen, Bohrersätzen, Schraubenziehersätzen etc., welche zwei Boxenteile aufweist, woran je im wesentlichen linear ausgebildete Scharnierseiten mittels eines Scharniers verbunden sind, wobei hierzu jeder Boxenteil mindestens zwei in Scharnierachsrichtung gleich lange Scharnierlaschen aufweist, welche zwischen sich einen Abschnitt freilassen.The present invention relates to a box part for a box with plastic receptacles for parts of a set of pieces, such as wrench sets, drill sets, screwdriver sets, etc., which has two box parts, to each of which essentially linear hinge sides are connected by means of a hinge, each of which for this purpose Box part has at least two hinge tabs of equal length in the hinge axis direction, which leave a section between them.

Die Erfindung betrifft im weiteren eine Box, aufgebaut mit zwei der erwähnten Teile, sowie einen Satz von mindestens drei derartigen Boxenteilen.The invention further relates to a box, constructed with two of the parts mentioned, and a set of at least three such box parts.

Es sind Kunststoffboxen eingangs genannter Art bekannt, bei welchen in mindestens einem der Teile Kunststoffaufnahmen eingeformt sind. Dabei sind weniger Boxen angesprochen, welche einen Gehäuseteil umfassen, woran, lösbar und ähnlich Pralineneinlagen, Einlagen aufgenommen sind jeweils mit den erwähnten Stückaufnahmen, sondern vielmehr Boxen, woran die erwähnten Aufnahmen in die diesbezüglich einteilig ausgebildeten Boxenteile eingeformt sind.Plastic boxes of the type mentioned are known, in which plastic receptacles are molded in at least one of the parts. Fewer boxes are addressed, which comprise a housing part, on which detachable and similar praline inserts, inserts are accommodated in each case with the piece recordings mentioned, but rather boxes, on which the mentioned receptacles are molded into the box parts formed in one piece in this regard.

Derartige Boxen weisen entlang jeweiliger Scharnierpartien je vorspringende, gleich lange Scharnierlaschen auf, welche, an jedem der Teile einzeln betrachtet, Abschnitte zwischen sich frei lassen, in welche jeweils die Laschen des andern Teils eingreifen.Boxes of this type have, along respective hinge parts, projecting hinge tabs of the same length, which, viewed individually on each of the parts, leave sections between them, into which the tabs of the other part engage.

Dabei ist es üblich, dass, betrachtet ausgehend vom einen Ende der Scharnierpartie eines der Boxenteile, sich gleich lang ausgebildete Scharnierlaschen und Abschnitte so folgen, dass entweder an beiden Enden der Scharnierpartie je eine Lasche vorgesehen ist oder je ein laschenfreier Abschnitt für die Aufnahme einer Lasche des andern Teils. Diese Boxenteile sind durch eine im wesentlichen unlösbare Scharnierverbindung miteinander verbunden.It is common that, viewed from one end of the hinge part of one of the box parts, the same follow long hinge straps and sections so that either one flap is provided at each end of the hinge section or one flap-free section for receiving a flap of the other part. These parts of the box are connected to one another by an essentially non-detachable hinge connection.

Damit legt eine vorliegende Box der erwähnten bekannten Art abschliessend, mit ihren Kunststoffaufnahmen in vorzugsweise beiden Boxenteilen, die Stücke, welche in der Box aufgenommen werden können, fest.In conclusion, a present box of the aforementioned known type, with its plastic receptacles in preferably both box parts, defines the pieces that can be accommodated in the box.

Ausgehend von den erwähnten bekannten Boxen bzw. ihren Teilen ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, Boxenteile vorzuschlagen, welche flexibel, je nach Bedarf, frei zu einer Box zusammengestellt werden können. Damit soll möglich werden, dass nicht mehr ganze Boxen mit zugehörigen Sätzen von Stücken beispielsweise zum Verkauf angeboten werden müssen, sondern, dass ein Käufer, je nach seinen spezifischen Bedürfnissen, Boxenteile mit den gewünschten Aufnahmen und damit Stücken "modular" zusammenstellen und die Box auf einfache Art und Weise komplettieren kann. Desgleichen sollen beispielsweise Handwerker je nach Bedarf eine Box so zusammenstellen können, dass die gerade benötigten Werkzeugteile dann vereint aufgenommen werden.Based on the known boxes or their parts mentioned, it is the object of the present invention to propose box parts which can be flexibly combined as required to form a box. This is to make it possible that, for example, it is no longer necessary to offer entire boxes with associated sets of pieces for sale, but that a buyer, depending on his specific needs, compose box parts with the desired receptacles and thus pieces and put the box on simple way to complete. Likewise, for example, craftsmen should be able to assemble a box as needed so that the tool parts they need are then combined.

Dies wird, ausgehend von den Boxenteilen eingangs genannter Art, auf höchst einfache Art und Weise dadurch erreicht, dass, entlang der Scharnierpartie am Boxenteil, am einen Ende eine Scharnierlasche, am andern eine Aussparung für eine Scharnierlasche angeordnet sind und dass mindestens ein vorgesehener Abschnitt zwischen Scharnierlaschen mindestens gleich lang ist wie die Scharnierlaschen.Starting from the box parts of the type mentioned at the beginning, this is achieved in a very simple manner in that, along the hinge part on the box part, a hinge bracket is arranged at one end, and a recess for a hinge bracket is arranged at the other, and that at least one section is provided between Hinge tabs are at least as long as the hinge tabs.

Damit wird es möglich, zwei der erwähnten erfindungsgemäss ausgebildeten Boxenteile frei zu verbinden. Es können bezüglich der Scharnierpartie gleich ausgebildete Boxenteile mit völlig unterschiedlichen Aufnahmemustern versehen werden und flexibel jeweils zwei, den jeweiligen Bedürfnissen entsprechend, zu einer Box komplettiert werden.This makes it possible to freely connect two of the mentioned box parts according to the invention. With regard to the hinge section, box parts of the same design can be provided with completely different mounting patterns, and two, depending on the respective requirements, can be flexibly combined to form a box.

Obwohl die Lösbarkeit der einzelnen Boxenteile auch durch entsprechende Ausformungen und Einformungen an den Laschen in Scharnierachsrichtung, schnappverschlussähnlich, realisierbar ist, wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Laschen eine mindestens im wesentlichen geschlossene Durchgangsöffnung in der erwähnten Achsrichtung definieren. Im weiteren ist der erwähnte Boxenteil vorzugsweise einteilig aus Kunststoff gefertigt und weist auf einer Flachseite die erwähnten Aufnahmen auf. Eine erfindungsgemässe Box mit zwei der erwähnten Boxenteile weist weiter mindestens einen ausziehbaren Scharnierstift auf, welcher die Laschen an den jeweiligen Boxenteilen scharnierartig verbindet und vorzugsweise mit den Laschen eine Schnappverbindung eingeht.Although the detachability of the individual box parts can also be achieved by means of corresponding shapes and recesses on the tabs in the hinge axis direction, similar to a snap lock, it is proposed that the tabs define an at least substantially closed through opening in the axis direction mentioned. Furthermore, the mentioned box part is preferably made in one piece from plastic and has the mentioned recordings on a flat side. A box according to the invention with two of the box parts mentioned further has at least one pull-out hinge pin which connects the tabs on the respective box parts in a hinge-like manner and preferably forms a snap connection with the tabs.

Das sich ergebende weitere Problem, wonach nämlich erfindungsgemäss zwei gleiche Boxenteile am Scharnier ohne weiteres verbindbar sind, jedoch auch komplementäre Verschlussteile aufweisen sollten, wird in einer ersten Variante dadurch gelöst, dass an der erfindungsgemässen Box bzw. den erfindungsgemässen Boxenteilen entfernbare Verschlusspartien vorgesehen sind, bevorzugterweise je ein oder mehrere Magnete, die in entsprechende Aufnahmen an den Boxenteilen einlegbar bzw. einklemmbar sind.The further problem that arises, according to which, according to the invention, two identical box parts can be easily connected to the hinge, but should also have complementary closure parts, is solved in a first variant in that removable closure parts are preferably provided on the box or box parts according to the invention one or more magnets each, which can be inserted or clamped into corresponding receptacles on the box parts.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante weisen die Boxenteile an zwei sich gegenüberliegenden Seiten Scharnierpartien der angegebenen Art auf, mit Abschnitten und Laschen, wobei die Laschen und Abschnitte an einer Scharnierpartie bezüglich denjenigen an der anderen versetzt angeordnet sind. Dabei weisen auch hier die Laschen Durchgangsbohrungen auf, womit aus zwei der letzterwähnten Boxenteile eine Box zusammengestellt werden kann, indem je ein Scharnierbereich jedes Teils mittels Stiften scharnierverbunden wird und die Scharnierpartien an den nicht verbundenen Teilseiten mit den identischen Stiften als Verschlusspartien eingesetzt werden. Damit wird eine sehr hohe Flexibilität erzielt, die Boxen nach Wunsch zusammenzustellen.In a further preferred embodiment variant, the box parts have hinge parts of the specified type on two opposite sides, with sections and tabs, the tabs and sections on one hinge section being offset from those on the other. Here, too, the tabs have through-bores, so that a box can be assembled from two of the last-mentioned box parts by hinge-connecting a hinge area of each part and using the hinge parts on the unconnected partial sides with the identical pins as closure parts. This gives a very high flexibility to put the boxes together as desired.

Im weiteren wird ein Satz von mindestens drei der erfindungsgemässen Teile vorgeschlagen, welche unterschiedliche Aufnahmen für unterschiedliche Sätze von Stücken aufweisen.Furthermore, a set of at least three of the parts according to the invention is proposed which have different receptacles for different sets of pieces.

Die Erfindung wird anschliessend beispielsweise anhand von Figuren erläutert.The invention is subsequently explained, for example, using figures.

Fig. 1 zeigt, perspektivisch, eine erste erfindungsgemässe Box mit zwei erfindungsgemässen Boxenteilen in erster Realisationsform.1 shows, in perspective, a first box according to the invention with two box parts according to the invention in a first embodiment.

Ein erster Teil 1, vorzugsweise einteilig aus Kunststoff geformt, umfasst eine sich linear erstreckende Scharnierpartie 3, woran mindestens eine, vorzugsweise zwei oder mehr Scharnierlaschen 5 angeformt sind. Entlang der Partie 3, in Scharnierachsrichtung x fortschreitend, ist am einen Ende der Partie 3 eine Lasche 5, hingegen am andern Ende ein laschenfreier Abschnitt 7 vorgesehen. Entlang der Partie 3 sind Laschen 5 und Abschnitte 7 ohne Laschen vorgesehen, wobei in besagter Richtung x alle Laschen und laschenfreien Abschnitte 5 bzw. 7 im wesentlichen gleich lang oder die Abschnitte 7 länger sind.A first part 1, preferably molded in one piece from plastic, comprises a linearly extending hinge section 3, on which at least one, preferably two or more hinge tabs 5 are formed. Along the part 3, proceeding in the hinge axis direction x, a tab 5 is provided at one end of the section 3, while a tab-free section 7 is provided at the other end. Straps 5 and sections 7 without straps are provided along the section 3, all straps and strap-free sections 5 and 7 being substantially the same length or sections 7 being longer in said direction x.

Am Teil 1 sind Aufnahmen 9 für die Stücke eines Satzes von z.B. Werkzeugen eingeformt. Bündig mit der Flachseite 11 des Teiles 1, worin die Aufnahmen 9 eingeformt sind, ist eine Halteschlaufe 13 angeformt.At part 1 are recordings 9 for the pieces of a set of e.g. Molded in tools. A retaining loop 13 is formed flush with the flat side 11 of part 1, in which the receptacles 9 are molded.

Der zweite Teil 20 der erfindungsgemässen Box ist, insbesondere bezüglich Scharnierpartie 3, gleich ausgebildet wie die Partie 3 am vorbeschriebenen Teil 1. Damit können diese beiden Teile 1 und 20 verbunden werden und durch Einführen eines lösbaren Scharnierstiftes 15 in Oeffnungen 17, je in den Scharnierlaschen 5, verbunden werden. Am zweiten Teil 20 sind gleiche oder anders ausgeformte Aufnahmen 9' für den gleichen oder einen andern Satz von Stücken, insbesondere Werkzeugstücken, eingeformt.The second part 20 of the box according to the invention is, in particular with regard to hinge section 3, of the same design as section 3 on the above-described part 1. This allows these two parts 1 and 20 to be connected and by inserting a releasable hinge pin 15 into openings 17, each in the hinge tabs 5, be connected. On the second part 20, the same or differently shaped receptacles 9 'for the same or a different set of pieces, in particular tool pieces, are molded.

Der Verschluss der zu einer Box zusammengestellten Boxenteile 1 und 20 wird z.B. mittels entfernbarer Verschlussorgane je an den Teilen 1, 20 realisiert, z.B. durch Permanentmagnete 21, welche in entsprechende Aufnahmen 9a bzw. 9a' eingesteckt werden.The closure of the box parts 1 and 20 assembled into a box is realized, for example, by means of removable closure members on each of the parts 1, 20, for example by permanent magnets 21, which are inserted into corresponding receptacles 9a and 9a '.

Wie ersichtlich, können für die Fertigung dieser Teile 1 und 20, was ihre Aussenform mit den Scharnierpartien 3 anbelangt, die gleichen Werkzeuge eingesetzt werden. Beliebig können Teile entsprechend 1 und 20 frei zusammengestellt werden, je nach Bedürfnis bezüglich der aufzunehmenden Sätze von Stücken.As can be seen, the same tools can be used for the production of these parts 1 and 20 as far as their outer shape with the hinge parts 3 is concerned. Parts according to 1 and 20 can be freely put together, depending on the needs regarding the sets of pieces to be recorded.

In Fig. 2 ist, in Darstellung analog zu derjenigen von Fig. 1, eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemässen Box mit entsprechend bevorzugter Ausbildung ihrer Boxenteile dargestellt. Es sind für die funktionell gleichen Teile der Box die bereits in Fig. 1 verwendeten Bezugszeichen verwendet. Die Boxenteile 1 und 20 weisen je zwei Scharnierpartien 3 auf, die sich entlang paralleler Seiten gegenüberliegen. Entlang dieser an einem Teil 1 bzw. 20 vorgesehenen Scharnierpartien 3 wechseln sich die Laschen 5 mit Abschnitten 7 gestaffelt ab, wie in Fig. 2 durch die gestrichelt eingetragene Zuordnung dargestellt ist. Bevorzugterweise ist auf beiden Seiten je eines Teils eine Halteeinformung 16 vorgesehen.FIG. 2 shows, in a representation analogous to that of FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of the box according to the invention with a correspondingly preferred design of its box parts. The reference numerals already used in FIG. 1 are used for the functionally identical parts of the box. The box parts 1 and 20 each have two hinge parts 3, which lie opposite one another along parallel sides. Along these hinge parts 3 provided on a part 1 or 20, the tabs 5 alternate with sections 7 in a staggered manner, as is shown in FIG. 2 by the assignment shown in broken lines. A holding recess 16 is preferably provided on both sides of a part.

Wie ersichtlich, können nun diese Teile völlig frei zusammengestellt werden, und zudem wirkt eine Scharnierpartie tatsächlich als Scharnier, während die andere als Verschlusspartie dient. Hierzu werden für Scharnierbildung und Verschlussbildung vorzugsweise dieselben Stifte 15a bzw. 15b eingesetzt, die bevorzugterweise mit den jeweiligen Laschen 5 eine Schnappverbindung eingehen und zu diesem Zweck beispielsweise mit einem Schnappring 30 endständig versehen sind.As can be seen, these parts can now be put together completely freely, and moreover one hinge part actually acts as a hinge, while the other part serves as a closure part. For this purpose, the same pins 15a and 15b are preferably used for hinge formation and closure formation, which preferably form a snap connection with the respective tabs 5 and are provided with a snap ring 30 for this purpose, for example.

Bevorzugterweise, und wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, sind die Scharnierlaschen 5 in die abgerundete Form der Teile 1 bzw. 20 eingeformt, welch letztere je Standausformungen 22 aufweisen, um die erfindungsgemässe Box auf der jeweiligen scharnierbehafteten Schmalseite abstellen zu können.Preferably, and as shown in Fig. 3, the hinge tabs 5 are in the rounded shape of the parts 1 and 20 molded in, the latter each having stand formations 22 in order to be able to place the box according to the invention on the respective hinge-laden narrow side.

Im weiteren können (nicht dargestellt) auf der Aussenseite der Box Markierungsschieber vorgesehen sein, mit welchen, flexibel, beispielsweise mit selektiv abdeckbarer Pfeilangabe, jeweils angezeigt werden kann, was Scharnierpartie und was Verschlusspartie ist, damit, je nach Füllinhalt der Box, jeweils auf der richtigen Seite geöffnet wird.In addition, (not shown) marking slides can be provided on the outside of the box, with which, flexibly, for example with selectively coverable arrow information, it can be shown what the hinge part and what the locking part is, so that depending on the contents of the box on the right side is opened.
