Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging container, in particular a packaging box or the like, with a base part and a plurality of side parts which can be brought into engagement with one another and with the base part and with connecting fittings between the side parts and between the side parts and the base part, these connecting fittings at least partially by U- Profile elements are formed, with which a free locking leg engagement angle can be brought into engagement.
  • packaging crates i.e.
  • Packaging containers which consist of interconnected crate elements, or packaging containers, such as packaging boxes with side walls, optionally stiffened by internal locking elements, usually made of wood, are customary, the packaging containers of this type being assembled with the aid of nails or screws and the removal of the packaged goods not at the destination rarely involves destruction of the packaging container.
  • packaging box made of stiffened multilayer boards made of wood or wood waste, the individual plate parts of the packaging box are connected to one another by metal clips, whereby there is always the risk of losing the metal clips during transport or after disassembly and a relatively complicated, hazardous installation is required.
  • packaging containers in the context of this application both packaging crates, consisting of individual, interconnected crate elements, as well as closed packaging containers, such as packaging boxes with closed side walls, are to be understood, for example for shipping machines or machine parts therefore disadvantageous both in the final packaging at the place of dispatch and when opening at the place of destination insofar as their assembly and disassembly often requires considerable labor using appropriate tools.
  • the problem arises that in many cases sufficient intrinsic stability is only achieved after the complete assembly of the box body, while manual assembly of the individual parts before their attachment to one another, possibly by several people, is necessary during assembly.
  • the objects to be packaged can often only be inserted into the packaging container from above, since there is no lateral access to the interior of the packaging container or packaging box.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of improving a packaging container of the type mentioned in such a way that, with high stability of the packaging container, even in the partially assembled or disassembled state, rapid and uncomplicated, inexpensive assembly or Disassembly, essentially without the use of assembly tools, is possible.
  • Associated connecting elements e.g. Pressure angle and U-profile elements of adjacent side walls extending at right angles to one another, or the U-profile elements interacting with the pressure angles of the base part from opposite side parts are brought into a comb-like locking engagement with one another, so that each element after assembly with the previous element is already an independent one positionally stable unit and an extremely simple assembly of the packaging body with high stability of the same is made possible.
  • the connecting elements are formed by fitting elements which are pressure angles, in particular angle plates with a free locking leg, these pressure angles engaging in U-profile elements which form the pressure angle as a recessed negative form, such fitting elements both rotating engagement of the pressure angle designed as an angle piece, but at the same time also permit comb locking by means of a straight-line relative movement.
  • the connecting fittings can therefore be formed on the one hand by, for example, identical pressure angles, for example angle plates, and on the other hand by U-profile rails or pieces, which at least partially form a profile body along a side inner surface of the U-profile to form an angle-profiled interior of the U-profile rail or the U-profile piece have, so that they form, for example, along two opposite edges of the base plate as recessed U-profile rails or U-profile pieces in the base plate counter-shaped elements for the free locking legs of associated angle pieces or angle plates, in which these engage by means of a lateral displacement or rotary movement, so that it It is not absolutely necessary that a lateral relative movement between the side parts and the bottom part takes place for the locking engagement and, for example, a side part can be erected by swiveling movement from the horizontal to the vertical and then self-retaining under the locking engagement of the free locking leg in the angle-profiled U-profile is connected to the base plate.
  • the profile bodies used in the U-profile elements are preferably profile bars welded to an inner side surface of the U-profile, in particular with a triangular, rectangular, semi-circular or semi-polygonal cross-section.
  • a U-profile can also be used, one profile leg of which protrudes inwards with the integral formation of a counter-pressure angle or an angle-profiled interior as an extruded profile.
  • a U-profile element is preferably provided on a profile leg with a plurality of spaced-apart beads projecting inwards into the U-profile, through which a partially angle-profiled interior space is formed for engagement of the free locking leg of the pressure angle.
  • these U-profile rails or U-profile pieces (U-profile elements) prepared for the rotary locking engagement of free locking legs of pressure angles are designed in such a way that a lateral displacement engagement of the free locking leg is possible, so that these U-profile rails narrowed from an inner side surface or U-profile pieces can be used both as part of a rotating fitting and as a sliding fitting by a free locking leg of an engagement angle engaging from one end.
  • connection fittings in addition to a connection by pivoting the locking leg into the angle-profiled interior of the U-profile element, a lateral displacement engagement between the free locking leg and the inner profile of this unilaterally narrowed U-profile element is also possible, so that the free locking leg of a pressure angle under displacement engagement of one end face can be inserted into the angle-profiled interior of the U-profile element, with simultaneous production of a meshing engagement.
  • a guader-shaped packaging box 100 is explained as a packaging container, which can be assembled and disassembled practically without assembly tools, is at the same time completely transport-stable and transport-safe without additional fastening elements and can be dismantled without damage, with a return of the individual elements of the packaging box 100 after disassembly the same to the packaging location is possible.
  • the basic element of the packaging box 100 is a base plate 102, which determines the basic dimensions of the packaging box 100 and, in the present exemplary embodiment, has a rectangular geometry with long sides and end faces.
  • the base plate 102 is firmly connected to a pallet 103, without this being absolutely necessary. However, this creates a very stable transport unit for forklift transport and increases the overall stability of the assembled packaging box 100.
  • Pallet 103 can be a Euro pallet or can e.g. with runners integral with the bottom plate 102, which perform a similar function, e.g. for unimpeded forklift transport.
  • the base plate 102 consists of a multi-layer composite plate made of plywood layers glued together with a thickness of approximately 20 mm.
  • the connecting fittings not only allow a comb engagement by lateral relative displacement, but also form rotating fittings, i.e. that e.g. a side part 5 can be stably mounted on the base plate 2 by a pure rotary movement.
  • This makes it possible, for example, to mount a side wall by a pure rotary movement or pivoting movement on the bottom part of the packaging box 1, the same fitting also being able to be used on the side parts themselves, so that a mounting pivoting movement about a vertical vertical axis depending on the use - And packaging purpose of the packaging box can be provided.

Abstract

The invention pertains to a packing container (1) that consists of at least a base (2) and side pieces (5), where the side pieces can be joined to each other and to the base by means of slide fittings (4) or, at least partially, combined slide fittings and pivoting fittings to form a firm interlocking engagement, so that the packing container can be assembled and disassembled without tools and can be used more than once.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verpackungsbehälter, insbesondere Verpackungskiste oder dgl., mit einem Bodenteil und einer Mehrzahl von miteinander und mit dem Bodenteil in Eingriff bringbaren Seitenteilen und mit Verbindungsbeschlägen zwischen den Seitenteilen sowie zwischen den Seitenteilen und dem Bodenteil, wobei diese Verbindungsbeschläge zumindest teilweise durch U-Profilelemente gebildet sind, mit denen einen freien Verriegelungsschenkel aufweisende Eingriffswinkel in Eingriff bringbar sind.The invention relates to a packaging container, in particular a packaging box or the like, with a base part and a plurality of side parts which can be brought into engagement with one another and with the base part and with connecting fittings between the side parts and between the side parts and the base part, these connecting fittings at least partially by U- Profile elements are formed, with which a free locking leg engagement angle can be brought into engagement.

Für eine Vielzahl von Verpackungsaufgaben, insbesondere für den Versand von Maschinenteilen und Anlagen, sind Verpackungsverschläge, d.h. Verpackungsbehälter, die aus miteinander verbundenen Verschlagelementen bestehen, oder Verpakkungsbehälter, wie Verpackungskisten mit Seitenwänden, gegebenenfalls versteift durch innere Riegelelemente, zumeist aus Holz, üblich, wobei die Montage derartiger Verpackungsbhälter mit Hilfe von Nägeln oder Schrauben erfolgt und die Entnahme des verpackten Gutes am Empfängerort nicht selten mit einer Zerstörung des Verpackungsbehälters einhergeht. Bei einer herkömmlichen Verpackungskiste aus versteiften Mehrschichtplatten aus Holz oder Holzabfällen werden die einzelnen Plattenteile der Verpackungskiste durch Metallklammern miteinander verbunden, wobei hierbei stets die Gefahr des Verlustes der Metallklammern beim Transport oder nach der Demontage besteht und eine verhältnismäßig komplizierte, gefahrgeneigte Montage erforderlich ist.For a variety of packaging tasks, especially for the shipping of machine parts and systems, packaging crates, i.e. Packaging containers, which consist of interconnected crate elements, or packaging containers, such as packaging boxes with side walls, optionally stiffened by internal locking elements, usually made of wood, are customary, the packaging containers of this type being assembled with the aid of nails or screws and the removal of the packaged goods not at the destination rarely involves destruction of the packaging container. In a conventional packaging box made of stiffened multilayer boards made of wood or wood waste, the individual plate parts of the packaging box are connected to one another by metal clips, whereby there is always the risk of losing the metal clips during transport or after disassembly and a relatively complicated, hazardous installation is required.

Herkömmliche Verpackungsbehälter, unter denen im Rahmen dieser Anmeldung sowohl Verpackungsverschläge, bestehend aus einzelnen, miteinander verbundenen Verschlagelementen, als auch geschlossene Verpackungsbehälter, wie Verpackungskisten mit geschlossenen Seitenwänden, verstanden werden, z.B. zum Versand von Maschinen oder Maschinenteilen, sind daher sowohl bei der Endverpackung am Versandort als auch beim Öffnen am Empfängerort insofern nachteilig, als ihre Montage und Demontage vielfach einen erheblichen Arbeitskräfteaufwand unter Einsatz entsprechender Werkzeuge erfordert. Bei der Montage tritt überdies das Problem auf, daß vielfach erst nach der kompletten Montage des Kistenkörpers eine hinreichende Eigenstabilität erreicht wird, während bei der Montage selbst eine manuelle Fixierung der Einzelteile vor ihrer Befestigung untereinander, gegebenenfalls durch mehrere Personen, erforderlich ist. Überdies können bei Verpackungskisten vielfach die zu verpackenden Gegenstände nur von oben in den Verpackungsbehälter eingesetzt werden, da eine seitliche Zugänglichkeit in den Innenraum des Verpackungsbehälters bzw. der Verpackungskiste nicht besteht.Conventional packaging containers, in the context of this application both packaging crates, consisting of individual, interconnected crate elements, as well as closed packaging containers, such as packaging boxes with closed side walls, are to be understood, for example for shipping machines or machine parts therefore disadvantageous both in the final packaging at the place of dispatch and when opening at the place of destination insofar as their assembly and disassembly often requires considerable labor using appropriate tools. During assembly, moreover, the problem arises that in many cases sufficient intrinsic stability is only achieved after the complete assembly of the box body, while manual assembly of the individual parts before their attachment to one another, possibly by several people, is necessary during assembly. In addition, in the case of packaging boxes, the objects to be packaged can often only be inserted into the packaging container from above, since there is no lateral access to the interior of the packaging container or packaging box.

Die Beseitung der Befestigungsteile beim Öffnen des Verpackungsbehälters bzw. der Verpackungskiste oder des Verpackungsverschlages führen durch den Werkzeugeinsatz vielfach zu einer irreparablen Beschädigung, so daß an eine Wiederverwendung des Verpackungsbehälters oft nicht gedacht werden kann, bzw. eine sinnvolle Rückführung des Verpackungsgutes an den Ausgangsort nicht möglich ist.The removal of the fastening parts when opening the packaging container or the packaging box or the packaging crate often leads to irreparable damage due to the use of tools, so that reuse of the packaging container often cannot be thought of, or meaningful return of the packaging material to the point of departure is not possible is.

Aus der DE-C-353 914 ist ein zerlegbarer Verpackungsbehälter der eingangs genannten Art mit ineinandergreifenden Verbindungsbeschlägen bekannt. Hierbei werden allerdings eine Mehrzahl unterschiedlicher Beschläge verwandt. Überdies ist die Montage bzw. Demontage des Behälters nicht in wünschenswerter Weise einfach.From DE-C-353 914 a collapsible packaging container of the type mentioned with interlocking connecting fittings is known. However, a variety of different fittings are used here. In addition, the assembly or disassembly of the container is not desirably easy.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Verpackungsbehälter der eingangs genannten Art zu verbessern, derart, daß bei hoher Stabilität des Verpackungsbehälters auch bei teilweise montiertem oder demontiertem Zustand eine rasche und unkomplizierte, kostengünstige Montage oder Demontage, im wesentlichen ohne den Einsatz von Montagewerkzeugen, möglich ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of improving a packaging container of the type mentioned in such a way that, with high stability of the packaging container, even in the partially assembled or disassembled state, rapid and uncomplicated, inexpensive assembly or Disassembly, essentially without the use of assembly tools, is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Verpackungsbehälter der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die U-Profilelemente entlang einer Seiteninnenfläche zumindest teilweise einen Profilkörper zur Bildung eines winkelprofilierten Innenraumes aufweisen.This object is achieved according to the invention in a packaging container of the type mentioned at the outset in that the U-profile elements at least partially have a profile body along a side inner surface to form an angle-profiled interior.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung können somit zugehörige Verbindungselemente, z.B. Eingriffswinkel und U-Profilelemente benachbarter, rechtwinklig sich zueinander erstreckender Seitenwände, oder aber die mit den Eingriffswinkeln des Bodenteiles zusammenwirkenden U-Profilelemente von gegenüberliegenden Seitenteilen in einen kammartigen Verriegelungseingriff miteinander gebracht werden, so daß jedes Element nach der Montage mit dem vorhergehenden Element bereits eine selbständig lagestabile Einheit bildet und eine äußerst einfache Montage des Verpackungskörpers bei hoher Stabilität desselben ermöglicht wird.Associated connecting elements, e.g. Pressure angle and U-profile elements of adjacent side walls extending at right angles to one another, or the U-profile elements interacting with the pressure angles of the base part from opposite side parts are brought into a comb-like locking engagement with one another, so that each element after assembly with the previous element is already an independent one positionally stable unit and an extremely simple assembly of the packaging body with high stability of the same is made possible.

Die Verbindungelemente werden dabei durch Beschlagelemente gebildet, die Eingriffswinkel, insbesondere Winkelbleche mit einem freien Verriegelungsschenkel sind, wobei diese Eingriffswinkel in U-Profilelemente eingreifen, die den Eingriffswinkel als ausgesparte Negativform bilden, wobei derartige Beschlagelemente sowohl einen Dreheingriff des als Winkelstück ausgebildeten Eingriffswinkels, zugleich aber auch eine Kammverriegelung durch geradlinige Relativbewegung gestatten.The connecting elements are formed by fitting elements which are pressure angles, in particular angle plates with a free locking leg, these pressure angles engaging in U-profile elements which form the pressure angle as a recessed negative form, such fitting elements both rotating engagement of the pressure angle designed as an angle piece, but at the same time also permit comb locking by means of a straight-line relative movement.

Die Verbindungsbeschläge können daher einerseits durch z.B. gleichartige Eingriffswinkel, z.B. Winkelbleche und andererseits durch U-Profilschienen oder -stücke gebildet werden, die entlang einer Seiteninnenfläche des U-Profiles zumindest partiell einen Profilkörper zur Bildung eines winkelprofilierten Innenraumes der U-Profilschiene oder des U-Profilstückes aufweisen, so daß diese z.B. entlang zweier gegenüberliegender Ränder der Bodenplatte als in die Bodenplatte eingelassene U-Profilschienen oder U-Profilstücke Gegenformelemente für die freien Verriegelungsschenkel zugehöriger Winkelstücke oder Winkelbelche bilden, in die diese vermittels einer lateralen Verschiebungs- oder Drehbewegung eingreifen, so daß es nicht unbedingt erfoderlich ist, daß für den Verriegelungseingriff eine laterale Relativbewegung zwischen z.B. den Seitenteilen und dem Bodenteil stattfindet und z.B. ein Seitenteil durch eine Schwenkbewegung aus der Horizontalen in die Vertikale aufgerichtet werden kann und dann unter Verriegelungseingriff des freien Verriegelungsschenkels in das winkelprofilierte U-Profil selbsthaltend mit der Bodenplatte verbunden ist.The connecting fittings can therefore be formed on the one hand by, for example, identical pressure angles, for example angle plates, and on the other hand by U-profile rails or pieces, which at least partially form a profile body along a side inner surface of the U-profile to form an angle-profiled interior of the U-profile rail or the U-profile piece have, so that they form, for example, along two opposite edges of the base plate as recessed U-profile rails or U-profile pieces in the base plate counter-shaped elements for the free locking legs of associated angle pieces or angle plates, in which these engage by means of a lateral displacement or rotary movement, so that it It is not absolutely necessary that a lateral relative movement between the side parts and the bottom part takes place for the locking engagement and, for example, a side part can be erected by swiveling movement from the horizontal to the vertical and then self-retaining under the locking engagement of the free locking leg in the angle-profiled U-profile is connected to the base plate.

Um durch eine solche U-Profilschiene oder ein U-Profilstück (U-Profilelement) einen Gegen-Eingriffswinkel zu bilden, sind die in die U-Profilelemente eingesetzten Profilkörper vorzugsweise mit einer Seiteninnenfläche des U-Profiles verschweißte Profilstäbe, insbesondere mit dreieckigem, rechteckigem, halbkreisförmigem oder Halbvieleckquerschnitt.In order to form a counter-pressure angle by such a U-profile rail or a U-profile piece (U-profile element), the profile bodies used in the U-profile elements are preferably profile bars welded to an inner side surface of the U-profile, in particular with a triangular, rectangular, semi-circular or semi-polygonal cross-section.

Gegebenenfalls kann auch ein U-Profil verwendet werden, dessen einer Profilschenkel nach einwärts vorspringend unter integraler Bildung eines Gegen-Eingriffswinkel bzw. eines winkelprofilierten Innenraumes als Strangpreßprofil ausgebildet ist.If necessary, a U-profile can also be used, one profile leg of which protrudes inwards with the integral formation of a counter-pressure angle or an angle-profiled interior as an extruded profile.

Vorzugsweise ist ein U-Profilelement an einem Profilschenkel mit einer Mehrzahl beabstandeter, einwärts in das U-Profil vorspringender Sicken versehen, durch die ein partiell winkelprofilierter Innenraum zum Eingriff des freien Verriegelungsschenkels des Eingriffswinkels gebildet ist.A U-profile element is preferably provided on a profile leg with a plurality of spaced-apart beads projecting inwards into the U-profile, through which a partially angle-profiled interior space is formed for engagement of the free locking leg of the pressure angle.

Die Montage der Einzelteile des Verpackungskörpers, d.h. sowohl einzelner Verschlagelemente als auch von geschlossenen Platten, mit z.B. an deren Innenseite vorgesehenen, versteifenden Riegelelementen, erfolgt also derart, daß entweder die zum Kammeingriff miteinander vorgesehenen, freien Verriegelungsschenkel der Eingriffswinkel (Winkelstücke) nach gegenseitiger Relativverschiebung in einen entsprechend profilierten Innenraum eines U-Profilelementes in die "Negativform" unter Drehbewegung um ca. 90° und/oder unter translatorischer (geradliniger) Relativverschiebung verriegelnd eingreift.The assembly of the individual parts of the packaging body, ie both individual crate elements and closed ones Plates, for example with stiffening locking elements provided on the inside, are made in such a way that either the free locking legs provided for combing with each other, the pressure angle (angle pieces) after mutual relative displacement into a correspondingly profiled interior of a U-profile element into the "negative shape" with rotary motion interlocking by approx. 90 ° and / or with translational (rectilinear) relative displacement.

Vorzugsweise sind diese für den Drehverriegelungseingriff freier Verriegelungsschenkel von Eingriffswinkeln vorbereiteten U-Profilschienen oder U-Profilstücken (U-Profilelemente) zugleich so gestaltet, daß auch ein seitlicher Verschiebungseingriff des freien Verriegelungsschenkels möglich ist, so daß diese von einer Innenseitenfläche her verengten U-Profilschienen oder U-Profilstücke sowohl als Teil eines Drehbeschlages als auch als Schiebebeschlag verwendet werden können, indem von einer Stirnseite ein freier Verriegelungsschenkel eines Eingriffswinkels verriegelnd eingreift.Preferably, these U-profile rails or U-profile pieces (U-profile elements) prepared for the rotary locking engagement of free locking legs of pressure angles are designed in such a way that a lateral displacement engagement of the free locking leg is possible, so that these U-profile rails narrowed from an inner side surface or U-profile pieces can be used both as part of a rotating fitting and as a sliding fitting by a free locking leg of an engagement angle engaging from one end.

In vielen Fällen ist es erwünscht, den Verpackungskörper, insbesondere bei Ausgestaltung als Verpackungskiste, durch ein Deckelteil zu verschließen.In many cases it is desirable to close the packaging body by a cover part, in particular if it is designed as a packaging box.

Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Verbindungsbeschläge ist neben einem Verbinden durch Einschwenken des Verriegelungsschenkels in den winkelprofilierten Innenraum des U-Profilelementes auch ein lateraler Verschiebungseingriff zwischen dem freien Verriegelungsschenkel und dem Innenprofil dieses einseitig verengten U-Profilelementes möglich, so daß ebenfalls der freie Verriegelungsschenkel eines Eingriffswinkels unter Verschiebungseingriff von einer Stirnseite her in den winkelprofilierten Innenraum des U-Profilelementes eingeschoben werden kann, unter gleichzeitiger Herstellung eines Kämmeingriffes.Through the connection fittings according to the invention, in addition to a connection by pivoting the locking leg into the angle-profiled interior of the U-profile element, a lateral displacement engagement between the free locking leg and the inner profile of this unilaterally narrowed U-profile element is also possible, so that the free locking leg of a pressure angle under displacement engagement of one end face can be inserted into the angle-profiled interior of the U-profile element, with simultaneous production of a meshing engagement.

Weitere, bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen des Erfindungsgegenstandes sind in den übrigen Unteransprüchen dargelegt.Further preferred embodiments of the subject matter of the invention are set out in the remaining subclaims.

In den nachfolgenden Ausführungsbeispielen wird als Verpackungsbehälter eine guaderförmige Verpackungskiste 100 erläutert, die praktisch ohne Montagewerkzeuge montiert und demontiert werden kann, dabei zugleich ohne weitere Befestigungselemente völlig transportstabil und transportsicher ist und beschädigungsfrei zerlegt werden kann, wobei auch eine Rückführung der Einzelelemente der Verpackungskiste 100 nach Zerlegen derselben an den Verpackungsort möglich ist.In the following exemplary embodiments, a guader-shaped packaging box 100 is explained as a packaging container, which can be assembled and disassembled practically without assembly tools, is at the same time completely transport-stable and transport-safe without additional fastening elements and can be dismantled without damage, with a return of the individual elements of the packaging box 100 after disassembly the same to the packaging location is possible.

Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel anhand der Fig. 1-17 erläutert.An exemplary embodiment is explained below with reference to FIGS. 1-17.

Grundelement der Verpackungskiste 100 ist eine Bodenplatte 102, die die Grundmaße der Verpackungskiste 100 bestimmt und im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel eine rechteckige Geometrie mit Längsseiten und Stirnseiten aufweist.The basic element of the packaging box 100 is a base plate 102, which determines the basic dimensions of the packaging box 100 and, in the present exemplary embodiment, has a rectangular geometry with long sides and end faces.

Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel (s. Fig. 1 und 2) ist die Bodenplatte 102 fest mit einer Palette 103 verbunden, ohne daß dies zwingend erforderlich ist. Allerdings wird hierdurch eine sehr stabile Transporteinheit für den Gabelstaplertransport geschaffen und die Gesamtstabilität der montierten Verpackungskiste 100 erhöht. Die Palette 103 kann eine Europalette sein oder kann z.B. durch Kufen, die integral mit der Bodenplatte 102 ausgebildet sind, ersetzt werden, wobei diese eine ähnliche Funktion, z.B. für einen ungehinderten Gabelstaplertransport, erfüllen. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel besteht die Bodenplatte 102 aus einer Mehrschicht-Verbundplatte aus miteinander verleimten Sperrholzschichten mit einer Dicke von ca. 20 mm.In the present exemplary embodiment (see FIGS. 1 and 2), the base plate 102 is firmly connected to a pallet 103, without this being absolutely necessary. However, this creates a very stable transport unit for forklift transport and increases the overall stability of the assembled packaging box 100. Pallet 103 can be a Euro pallet or can e.g. with runners integral with the bottom plate 102, which perform a similar function, e.g. for unimpeded forklift transport. In this exemplary embodiment, the base plate 102 consists of a multi-layer composite plate made of plywood layers glued together with a thickness of approximately 20 mm.

Die Verbindungsbeschläge gestatten nicht nur einen Kammeingriff durch seitliche Relativverschiebung, sondern bilden überdies auch Drehbeschläge, d.h., daß z.B. ein Seitenteil 5 durch eine reine Drehbewegung stabil auf der Bodenplatte 2 montiert werden kann. Dies ermöglicht es z.B., eine Seitenwand durch eine reine Drehbewegung bzw. Schwenkbewegung auf dem Bodenteil der Verpackungskiste 1 zu montieren, wobei der gleiche Beschlag auch an den Seitenteilen selbst verwandt werden kann, so daß auch eine Montage-Schwenkbewegung um eine vertikale Hochachse je nach Verwendungs- und Verpackungszweck der Verpackungskiste vorgesehen werden kann.The connecting fittings not only allow a comb engagement by lateral relative displacement, but also form rotating fittings, i.e. that e.g. a side part 5 can be stably mounted on the base plate 2 by a pure rotary movement. This makes it possible, for example, to mount a side wall by a pure rotary movement or pivoting movement on the bottom part of the packaging box 1, the same fitting also being able to be used on the side parts themselves, so that a mounting pivoting movement about a vertical vertical axis depending on the use - And packaging purpose of the packaging box can be provided.

Zur Erläuterung wird zunächst auf die Fig. 3-15 verwiesen, während eine Darstellung dieses Ausführungsbeispieles in Fig. 1 gezeigt ist, mit einer Draufsicht einer Bodenplatte nach diesem Ausführungsbeispiel in Fig. 2.For an explanation, reference is first made to FIGS. 3-15, while a representation of this exemplary embodiment is shown in FIG. 1, with a plan view of a base plate according to this exemplary embodiment in FIG. 2.

In diesem Fall sind zur Bildung eines Dreh-/Schiebebeschlages einerseits Winkelbleche als Eingriffswinkel 104 direkt mit den Seitenteilen 105 (Wandplatte 106) entlang der unteren Längsseiten derselben sowie entlang der vertikalen Seiten verbunden (verschraubt), derart, daß ein verhältnismäßig kurzer, freier Verriegelungsschenkel 104b beabstandet zur Unterseite der Wandplatte 106 mit einem Abstand angeordnet ist, der auf eine Profilbreite eines als Gegen-Eingriffswinkels vorgesehenen U-Profilschiene bzw. U-Profilstückes 120 festgelegt ist. Die U-Profilschiene bzw. das U-Profilstück 120 bildet einen Gegen-Eingriffswinkel durch einen winkelprofilierten Innenraum 104' als "Negativform" zum verriegelnden Kammeingriff mit dem freien Verriegelungsschenkel 104b des Winkelbleches 104 dadurch aus, daß entlang einer Innenfläche der U-Profilschiene bzw. des U-Profilstückes 120, zumindest partiell, ein Profilstab 121 befestigt, insbesondere mit diesem Schenkel der U-Profilschiene bzw. des U-Profilstückes 120 verschweißt ist, wobei der Profilstab 121 eine Geometrie aufweist, die ein Hineinschwenken des abgewinkelten Bereiches des Winkelbleches 104 mit dem freien Verriegelungsschenkel 104b unter Aufrichten aus einer in Fig. 3 gezeigten horizontalen Lage in eine vertikale Verriegelungsposition, die in Fig. 4 gezeigt ist, ermöglicht. In den Fig. 3 und 4 weist der Profilstab 121 eine dreieckige Querschnittskonfiguration auf. Dies gestattet, daß der Eingriffswinkel 104 nicht nur unter der dargestellten Schwenkbewegung in Verrriegelungseingriff mit dem Gegen-Eingriffswinkel, gebildet durch die einen winkelprofilierten Innenraum 104' aufweisende U-Profilschiene bzw. U-Profilstück 120 bringbar ist, der freie Verriegelungsschenkel 104b des Winkelbleches 104 auch durch einen Verschiebungseingriff in Längsrichtung der U-Profilschiene bzw. des U-Profilstückes 120 in denselben Verriegelungseingriff bringbar ist, so daß auf diese Weise ein Verbindungsbeschlag erhalten wird, der sowohl als Drehbeschlag verwendbar ist, als auch den bereits oben erläuterten Verschiebungseingriff zwischen dem freien Verrriegelungsschenkel 104b eines Eingriffswinkels 104 und dem durch die speziell profilierte Winkelschiene bzw. das speziell innenprofilierte U-Profilstück 120 gebildeten Eingriffswinkel (als Verschiebebeschlag) gestattet.In this case, on the one hand, to form a rotating / sliding fitting, angle plates as a pressure angle 104 are connected (screwed) directly to the side parts 105 (wall plate 106) along the lower longitudinal sides thereof and along the vertical sides, such that a relatively short, free locking leg 104b spaced from the underside of the wall plate 106 at a distance which is fixed to a profile width of a U-profile rail or U-profile piece 120 provided as a counter-pressure angle. The U-profile rail or the U-profile piece 120 forms a counter-pressure angle through an angle-profiled interior 104 'as a "negative shape" for interlocking comb engagement with the free locking leg 104b of the angle plate 104 in that along an inner surface of the U-profile rail or of the U-profile piece 120, at least partially, a profile bar 121 is fastened, in particular welded to this leg of the U-profile rail or of the U-profile piece 120, the profile bar 121 having a geometry which also allows the angled area of the angle plate 104 to pivot into it allows the free locking leg 104b to be raised from a horizontal position shown in FIG. 3 to a vertical locking position shown in FIG. 4. 3 and 4, the profile bar 121 has a triangular cross-sectional configuration. This allows the pressure angle 104 not only to be brought into locking engagement with the counter-pressure angle, formed by the U-profile rail or U-profile piece 120 having an angle-profiled interior space 104 ', the free locking leg 104b of the angle plate 104 not only under the pivoting movement shown can be brought into the same locking engagement by a displacement engagement in the longitudinal direction of the U-profile rail or of the U-profile piece 120, so that in this way a connecting fitting is obtained which can be used both as a rotating fitting and as already explained above Displacement engagement between the free locking leg 104b of a pressure angle 104 and the pressure angle formed by the specially profiled angle rail or the specifically internally profiled U-profile piece 120 (as a sliding fitting) is permitted.

In Fig. 3 ist im Teilschnitt ein Aufbau dargestellt, bei dem eine Mehrzahl von U-Profilstücken 120 in Längsrichtung entlang einer Außenseite des Bodenteiles auf die Bodenplatte 102 aufgesetzt sind, die ihrerseits mit der Palette 103 verbunden ist. Eine Leiste 122 ist als Montagehilfe und zusätzliche Abstützung entlang der Innenseite der U-Profilstücke 120 vorgesehen, ohne daß dies zwingend erforderlich wäre.3 shows a structure in partial section in which a plurality of U-profile pieces 120 are placed in the longitudinal direction along an outer side of the base part on the base plate 102, which in turn is connected to the pallet 103. A strip 122 is provided as an assembly aid and additional support along the inside of the U-profile pieces 120, without this being absolutely necessary.

Obwohl dies hier nicht dargestellt ist, sind in einem solchen Fall die Abstände zwischen benachbarten U-Profilstücken 120 entlang der Längsseite der Bodenplatte 102 durch Profilstäbe entsprechender Höhe ausgefüttert, da ansonsten eine flächige Abstützung der in ihrer Montageposition (s. Fig. 4) vertikal aufgerichteten Wandplatte 106 nicht gegeben wäre. In Fig. 4 ist eine alternative Ausführungsform dargestellt, die dies entbehrlich macht, in dem das U-Profilstück, wie auch in den Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigt, jeweils randseitig in die Bodenplatte 102 des Bodenteiles eingelassen und mit deren Oberfläche bündig ist, so daß in den Bereichen, in denen keine U-Profilstücke 120 vorgesehen sind, die Wandplatte 106 sich auf der Oberseite der Bodenplatte 102 abstützt. Die Palette ist in Fig. 4 mit 103 bezeichnet.Although this is not shown here, in such a case the distances between adjacent U-profile pieces 120 along the longitudinal side of the base plate 102 are lined with profile bars of a corresponding height, since otherwise a flat support of the vertically erected ones in their assembly position (see FIG. 4) Wall plate 106 would not be given. In Fig. 4 an alternative embodiment is shown, which makes this dispensable, in which the U-profile piece, as also shown in Figs. 1 and 2, each embedded in the bottom plate 102 of the bottom part and is flush with the surface thereof, so that in the areas in which no U-profile pieces 120 are provided, the wall plate 106 is supported on the top of the base plate 102. The pallet is designated 103 in FIG. 4.

Alternativ könnte hinsichtlich der Montage nach Fig. 3 selbstverständlich auch eine durchgehende U-Profilschiene 120 gewählt werden.Alternatively, with regard to the assembly according to FIG. 3, a continuous U-profile rail 120 could of course also be selected.

In den Fig. 5-9 sind verschiedene Ausführungsformen von U-Profilschienen 120 mit winkelprofilierten Innenräumen dargestellt, wobei in den Fig. 5-9 eingeschweißte Profilstäbe 121 unterschiedlicher Geometrie, nämlich mit dreieckigem, halbkreisförmigem oder rechteckigem Querschnitt dargestellt sind. Alternativ hierzu ist es selbstverständlich auch möglich, das U-Profilstück bzw. die Profilschiene 120 selbst gleich als Strangpreßprofil mit entsprechend einseitig profiliertem Schenkel als integrales Profil auszubilden, das sowohl in Längsrichtung einen Verschiebeeingriff eines freien Verriegelungsschenkels 104b als auch einen Dreheingriff eines solchen Verriegelungsschenkels 104b gestattet, ohne daß dann noch separate Profilstäbe 121 verwendet werden müßten (s. Fig. 8).5-9 different embodiments of U-shaped rails 120 are shown with angle-profiled interiors, 5-9 welded profile bars 121 of different geometry, namely with a triangular, semicircular or rectangular cross section, are shown. As an alternative to this, it is of course also possible to design the U-shaped piece or the profiled rail 120 itself as an extruded profile with a leg profiled on one side as an integral profile, which allows both a sliding engagement of a free locking leg 104b in the longitudinal direction and a rotational engagement of such a locking leg 104b without having to use separate profile bars 121 (see FIG. 8).

Anstelle einer Gesamtprofilierung des einseitig profilierten Schenkels der U-Profilschiene 120 ist es selbstverständlich auch möglich, die U-Profilschiene 120 einseitig mit einer Mehrzahl beabstandeter, einwärts vorspringender Sicken 121a zu versehen, zur Bildung eines winkelprofilierten Innenraumes, in den der freie Verriegelungsschenkel 104b des zugehörigen Eingriffswinkels 104 (s. Fig. 14) sowohl in einem Verschiebungseingriff als auch in einem Dreheingriff eingreifen kann. Fig. 13 zeigt einen Querschnitt im Bereich einer solchen Sicke 121a zur Bildung des winkelprofilierten Innenraumes 104' der U-Profilschiene 120.Instead of an overall profiling of the leg of the U-profile rail 120 profiled on one side, it is of course also possible to provide the U-profile rail 120 on one side with a plurality of spaced-apart, inwardly projecting beads 121a, in order to form an angle-profiled interior into which the free locking leg 104b of the associated one Pressure angle 104 (see FIG. 14) can engage both in a displacement engagement and in a rotational engagement. FIG. 13 shows a cross section in the area of such a bead 121a for forming the angle-profiled interior 104 ′ of the U-shaped rail 120.

In den Fig. 10-13 sind nochmals Querschnittsformen der U-Profilschienen bzw. U-Profilstücke 120 mit in diesen eingearbeiteten Profilstäben 121 zur Bildung winkelprofilierter Innenräume vorgesehen, wobei die Winkelprofilierung der Innenräume jeweils mit 104' bezeichnet sind, und in dieser Lage jeweils die Eingriffswinkel 104 mit ihrem freien Verriegelungsschenkel 104b angeordnet sind, wenn der Kämmeingriff zwischen den beiden Eingriffswinkeln 104 vollzogen ist.10-13, cross-sectional shapes of the U-profile rails or U-profile pieces 120 are again provided with profile bars 121 incorporated into them to form angle-profiled interior spaces, the angle profile of the interior spaces being designated 104 'in each case, and in this position each Pressure angle 104 are arranged with their free locking leg 104b when the meshing engagement between the two pressure angles 104 is completed.

In Fig. 14 ist ein Winkelblech 104 als Eingriffswinkel dargestellt, wie es jeweils ohne weitere Versteifungselemente oder Riegelelemente an den Seitenteilen 105 befestigt ist, wie dies in dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig.1 gezeigt ist, das eine Verpackungskiste ohne Deckelteil zeigt.In Fig. 14, an angle plate 104 is shown as a pressure angle, as it is attached to the side parts 105 in each case without further stiffening elements or locking elements, as is shown in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, which shows a packaging box without a cover part.

Aufgrund der Verwendbarkeit der durch die winkelprofilierten U-Profilschienen 120 gebildeten Eingriffswinkel sowohl als Schiebebeschlag als auch als Drehbeschlag ist es möglich, darartige, innenprofilierte U-Profilschienen oder - stücke 120 auch in Wandplatten 106 zu verwenden, so daß, wie in Fig. 15 ausschnittsweise gezeigt, z.B. eine Längswand 106 mit einem Eingriffswinkel 104 in Dreheingriff um eine vertikale Hochachse gebracht werden kann (wenn die Stirnwand 113 schon vorhanden ist) oder es kann nach entsprechender Montage der Wandplatte 106 die Stirnwand 113 von oben eingeschoben werden (s. Fig. 15, Stirnwand 113 mit U-Profilschienen 120 vertikal entlang der Seitenkanten mit eingesetzten Profilstäben 121), wobei in diesem Fall der speziell innenprofilierte Eingriffswinkel, gebildet durch die U-Profilschiene 120 mit dem freien Verriegelungsschenkel 104b des Eingriffswinkels 104 der Längswand 106 in Eingriff tritt.Due to the usability of the pressure angle formed by the angle-profiled U-profile rails 120 both as a sliding fitting and as a rotating fitting, it is possible to use such internally profiled U-profile rails or pieces 120 also in wall plates 106, so that, as in FIG shown, e.g. a longitudinal wall 106 with a pressure angle 104 can be brought into rotary engagement about a vertical vertical axis (if the end wall 113 already exists) or the end wall 113 can be pushed in from above after appropriate mounting of the wall plate 106 (see FIG. 15, end wall 113 with U-profile rails 120 vertically along the side edges with inserted profile bars 121), in which case the specially internally profiled pressure angle, formed by the U-profile rail 120, engages with the free locking leg 104b of the pressure angle 104 of the longitudinal wall 106.

Im übrigen ist in Fig. 15 in unterbrochenen Linien eine andere Profilstabgeometrie angedeutet (Rechteckprofil), während im allgemeinen das in Vollinien gezeigte Dreiecksprofil bevorzugt wird.Otherwise, a different profile rod geometry is indicated in broken lines in FIG. 15 (rectangular profile), while the triangular profile shown in solid lines is generally preferred.

Durch das vorgenannte Ausführungsbeispiel ist es möglich, Seitenwände auch an der Kiste auf- bzw. zuzuklappen und zu verschwenken, ohne daß es eine geradlinige Relativbewegung der miteinander zu verriegelnden Teile, insbesondere der Längsseitenwände 106 und der Bodenplatte 102 bedarf.The aforementioned embodiment makes it possible to open and close side walls of the crate and to pivot them without requiring a straight relative movement of the parts to be locked together, in particular the longitudinal side walls 106 and the base plate 102.

Die Verpackungskiste kann durch den Verriegelungseingriff der freien Verriegelungsschenkel 104b jeweils durch einfache Steckverbindung der Seitenteile untereinander und hinsichtlich der Längswände 108 mit der Bodenplatte 102 montiert werden und kann einfach durch Einschieben des Deckelteiles, wiederum unter Verriegelungseingriff der entsprechenden Verbindungsbeschläge, verschlossen werden. Sowohl die Montage als auch die Demontage ist ohne spezielle Werkzeuge durchführbar und kann durch jeweils einen Monteur erfolgen, ohne daß hierfür weitere Haltemittel oder zusätzliche Arbeitskräfte erforderlich sind. Die Verpackungskiste 100 kann leicht in ihre Einzelteile zerlegt werden und ist ohne weiteres wiederverwendbar. Bei einer Zerstörung oder Beschädigung von Einzelteilen der Verpackungskiste 100 in einer Weise, die eine weitere Verwendung ausschließen, kann die Verpackungskiste 100 leicht recycelt werden, da eine Trennung von Holz- und Metallteilen unkompliziert durch entsprechende Metallabscheider möglich ist.The packaging box can be easily locked by the locking engagement of the free locking legs 104b Plug connection of the side parts with each other and with respect to the longitudinal walls 108 with the base plate 102 and can be closed simply by inserting the cover part, again with the locking engagement of the corresponding connection fittings. Both assembly and disassembly can be carried out without special tools and can be carried out by one installer at a time, without the need for additional holding means or additional workers. The packaging box 100 can easily be dismantled into its individual parts and is easily reusable. If individual parts of the packaging box 100 are destroyed or damaged in a manner that prevents further use, the packaging box 100 can be easily recycled, since a separation of wood and metal parts is easily possible using appropriate metal separators.

In Fig. 2 ist die Bodenplatte 102 mit in dieser eingelassenen Drehbeschlägen in Form der innenprofilierten U-Profilstücke 120 in der Draufsicht dargestellt, wobei in diesem Fall das Einsetzen der Längswände 108 durch Verschwenken aus einer Horizontalposition in die Vertikalposition erfolgt, wie dies in den Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellt ist. Bei einer Montage der U-Profilschienen 120, die auch ein seitliches Einschieben von freien Verriegelungsschenkeln 104b zugehöriger Eingriffswinkel 104 gestatten würde, können Anschläge innerhalb der U-Profilschienen 120 vorgesehen sein, die eine relative Längsbewegung von freiem Verriegelungsschenkel 104b und U-Profilstück 120 relativ in Längsrichtung desselben zueinander auch ausschließen.In Fig. 2, the bottom plate 102 is shown in this view with the rotating fittings embedded in the form of the internally profiled U-profile pieces 120, in which case the longitudinal walls 108 are inserted by pivoting from a horizontal position into the vertical position, as is shown in FIGS 3 and 4 is shown. When mounting the U-shaped rails 120, which would also allow a lateral insertion of free locking legs 104b associated pressure angle 104, stops can be provided within the U-shaped rails 120, the relative longitudinal movement of the free locking leg 104b and U-profile piece 120 relatively in Exclude the longitudinal direction of the same to each other.

Die Verpackungskiste 100 bildet eine integrale Verpackungseinheit, die für den Transport keiner weiteren Befestigungselemente oder von Sicherungselementen bedarf. Gegebenenfalls kann ein das Deckelteil 114 noch zusätzlich in seiner Schließstellung sicherndes Sicherungselement, z.B. ein mit einem benachbarten Riegelelement in Eingriff bringbarer Verriegelungsstift vorgesehen sein, der gegen unbeabsichtigtes Lösen gesichert ist.The packaging box 100 forms an integral packaging unit which does not require any further fastening elements or securing elements for the transport. If necessary, a securing element which additionally secures the cover part 114 in its closed position, for example a securing element which can be brought into engagement with an adjacent locking element Locking pin can be provided, which is secured against unintentional loosening.

Es wird auch darauf hingewiesen, daß, ohne daß dies hier im einzelnen dargestellt wäre, innerhalb der montierten Verpackungskiste schwenkbeweglich entweder an einer Längswand 106 oder einer Stirnwand 113 nahe des Eckbereiches eine zusätzliche Verriegelungsvorrichtung (Schwenkplatte) vorgesehen sein kann, die in einen Schlitz zusammenwirkender Beschlagteile (Eingriffswinkel 104, U-Profilschienen 120) eingreift, so daß nach Montieren der Stirnwände 113 und Einschwenken der Verriegelungsplatte die Stirnwände nicht mehr herausgezogen werden können, sondern eine Demontage der Stirnwände 113 erst nach Zurückschwenken der Verriegelungsplatte möglich ist. Die Verpackungskiste 100 nach den vorerläuterten Ausführungsbeispielen wird als "mc Box" bezeichnet.It is also pointed out that, without this being shown in detail here, an additional locking device (swivel plate) can be provided within the assembled packaging box so that it can be pivoted either on a longitudinal wall 106 or an end wall 113 near the corner area and that cooperates in a slot of fitting parts (Pressure angle 104, U-shaped rails 120) engages so that after mounting the end walls 113 and swiveling in the locking plate, the end walls can no longer be pulled out, but disassembly of the end walls 113 is only possible after the locking plate has been swung back. The packaging box 100 according to the previously described exemplary embodiments is referred to as an “mc box”.

Wie oben bereits erläutert, wird es bei vielen Verpackungskisten 100 bevorzugt, diese mit einem Deckelteil 114 zu verschließen. Zur Lagearretierung des Deckelteiles 114 im geschlossenen Zustand der Verpackungskiste 100 ist unverlierbar eine Schließverriegelungsvorrichtung 30 an dem Deckelteil 114 vorgesehen, die schematisch in seitlicher Schnittdarstellung und Vorderansicht in den Fig. 16 und 17 dargestellt ist. Hierbei ist mit der Deckelplatte 15 am stirnseitigen Ende ein Hohlprofilstück 31 verschraubt, das an seinem inneren Ende einen vorspringenden Innenanschlag 32 aufweist. Andererseits lagert das Hohlprofilstück 31 in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel durch einen Stift 33 am stirnseitigen Ende des Hohlprofilstückes 31 schwenkbar eine Verschlußschelle 34, die nach Einschieben des Deckelteiles 114 in seine endgültige, die Verpackungskiste 100 verschließende Stellung aus der in Fig. 17 in unterbrochenen Linien dargestellten Vorbereitungsstellung in die in Vollinien gezeigte, heruntergeschwenkte Endstellung gebracht werden kann, in der die Verschlußschelle 34 gegen die Außenseite der Stirnwand 113 anlegt, während sich andererseits gegen ein Riegelelement 10 im Inneren der Innenanschlag 32 abstützt. Auf diese Weise ist das Deckelteil 114 unverlierbar arretiert und kann ebenso leicht durch Heraufschwenken der Verschlußschelle 35 geöffnet werden. Die Stirnwand 113 weist im Bereich des Hohiprofilstückes 31 eine Aussparung auf, wie dies in Fig. 17 dargestellt ist.As already explained above, it is preferred for many packaging boxes 100 to close them with a cover part 114. To lock the position of the cover part 114 in the closed state of the packaging box 100, a locking locking device 30 is provided on the cover part 114, which is shown schematically in a sectional side view and a front view in FIGS. 16 and 17. Here, a hollow profile piece 31 is screwed to the cover plate 15 at the front end, which has a projecting inner stop 32 at its inner end. On the other hand, in this exemplary embodiment, the hollow profile piece 31 is pivotably supported by a pin 33 at the front end of the hollow profile piece 31, a closure clip 34 which, after the cover part 114 has been pushed in, into its final position, which closes the packaging box 100, from the preparation position shown in broken lines in FIG. 17 in the swung-down end position shown in solid lines can be brought in which the locking clip 34 against the outside the end wall 113 abuts, while, on the other hand, the inner stop 32 is supported against a locking element 10 inside. In this way, the cover part 114 is locked captively and can just as easily be opened by pivoting the closure clamp 35 up. The end wall 113 has a recess in the area of the hollow profile piece 31, as is shown in FIG. 17.

Der Verpackungsbehälter nach der vorliegenden Erfindung ist nicht auf das gezeigte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt; z.B. ist es auch möglich, auf diese Weise einen Verpackungsverschlag auszubilden, wobei die Eingriffswinkel 104 und die U-Profilelemente 120 jeweils an den Enden von Riegelelementen angeordnet sind, die miteinander in Kämmeingriff treten und gegebenenfalls über versteifende Längs- und Querriegel miteinander verbunden sind.The packaging container according to the present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown; e.g. it is also possible to form a packaging crate in this way, the pressure angle 104 and the U-profile elements 120 each being arranged at the ends of locking elements which mesh with one another and are connected to one another via stiffening longitudinal and transverse bolts.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel wurde anhand einer Verpackungskiste 100 erläutert, die im wesentlichen aus Holzteilen mit den zur Verriegelung vorgesehenen metallischen Eingriffswinkeln besteht.The exemplary embodiment was explained with reference to a packaging box 100 which essentially consists of wooden parts with the metal pressure angles provided for locking.

Alternativ hierzu ist es selbstverständlich auch möglich, für die Verpackungskiste gänzlich andere Werkstoffe, wie z.B. Metall, insbesondere Aluminium, oder Kombinationen von mit Metallbeschlägen versehenen Holzteilen vorzusehen. Es ist überdies auch denkbar, die Eingriffswinkel einstückig mit den äußeren Plattenteilen vorzusehen. Die freien Verriegelungsschenkel 104b der Eingriffswinkel können auch als integrale Nasenvorsprünge von Metallprofilen vorgesehen sein, oder z.B. in Kunststoffausführung als integrales Strangpreßprofil ausgeführt sein. Wesentlich ist der kammartige Verriegelungseingriff der freien Verriegelungsschenkel mit den U-Profilelementen, der zu einer völlig in sich formstabilen Ausführung des Verpackungskörpers führt.As an alternative to this, it is of course also possible to provide completely different materials for the packaging box, such as metal, in particular aluminum, or combinations of wooden parts provided with metal fittings. It is also conceivable to provide the pressure angle in one piece with the outer plate parts. The free locking legs 104b of the pressure angle can also be provided as integral nose projections of metal profiles, or can be designed, for example, in plastic as an integral extruded profile. What is essential is the comb-like locking engagement of the free locking legs with the U-profile elements, which leads to a completely inherently stable design of the packaging body.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es auch in einfacher Weise möglich, innerhalb der Verpackungskiste 100 Trennwände vorzusehen.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is also possible in a simple manner to provide 100 partition walls within the packaging box.
