Definitions
- the invention relates to a box-shaped container made of plastic for holding objects, in particular packaged vegetables, fruit or the like, with a base, four side walls and a grip frame that runs all the way around the mouth. .
- Containers are also known in the prior art in which the container walls can be folded down in order to be able to fold them together to form a small transport volume. Such boxes are complex to manufacture and cumbersome to handle.
- containers made of plastic are also known (DE 41 26 749 AI), in which two opposite side walls are fixed with a circumferential bar and the bottom, while the other two side walls can be folded inwards. With the side walls folded inwards, it is possible to stack these containers into one another while empty with side walls folded outwards, contact surfaces are formed which allow the boxes to be stacked on top of one another.
- the object of the invention is to create a box-shaped container of the generic type which is simpler
- Manufacturing and easy handling enables the stacking of filled containers and the nesting of empty containers.
- the side walls are hinged to the handle frame with their upper edge, the lower edge of the side walls merge into a surface area or tongues which forms part of the floor, and this surface area or the tongues with its associated Edge edge facing away from the side wall is articulated to an edge or a cutout of a rectangular bottom middle part, so that when the bottom middle part is arranged in one plane and the surface areas which form an edge part of the bottom, the side walls are pivoted outwards in a stacking position relative to the grip frame and towards the grip frame parallel displaced bottom middle part, the side walls are pivoted relative to the handle frame inwards into a nesting position.
- the side walls with the integrally formed surface area, which forms part of the base are preferably approximately L-shaped, the upper edge edges of the side walls being articulated on the handle frame and the free edge edge of the surface area forming part of the base, likewise on the base middle part is articulated.
- This configuration has the result that when pulling forces are exerted on the erected container at the bottom center ⁇ part, so that this is displaced quasi by a certain way to the mouth of the container, the hinged side walls together with the molded-on surface regions which form a part of the bottom to be pivoted inwards by a certain degree of angle, so that an essentially conical container shape is created which enables nesting of empty containers.
- the design according to the invention enables such containers to be produced easily, and handling is also very simplified. It is preferably provided that the articulation areas are formed by film hinges.
- the corresponding hinges can be molded directly during the injection molding process of the box, so that neither a separate assembly nor a separate production of individual parts is required.
- the side walls and the molded-on surface areas which form part of the base are trapezoidal, the long base side of the side walls on the handle frame and the short base side of the surface areas is articulated on the floor middle part.
- the trapezoidal design of the side walls ensures that when the side wall parts are pivoted into the nesting position, they rest against one another with their marginal edges, that is to say the container forms a truncated pyramid, while when the side walls are pivoted outwards into the stacking position, the container has a rectangular basic shape.
- a free space is formed on the parallel side edges of the side walls by the conical design of the side walls.
- Such material films or material bridges enable the intended pivoting of the side wall parts, the material film or material bridge being slightly deformed when the side walls are pivoted in and tightened when pivoting open into the stacking position. At the same time, such material bridges limit the pivoting movement when transferring to the stacking position.
- Another, possibly preferred possibility of limiting the pivoting movement of the side walls is seen in the fact that stop strips are formed on the handle frame, to which the side walls in the region close to the handle frame are placed in the stacking position.
- Stop strips are formed, which lie in the stacking position on the bottom middle part or on the surface areas.
- the bottom middle part has at least one handle bar or similar handle configuration, preferably in the middle.
- the handle frame has recesses on the end face, into which stacking projections can be inserted when the container is in the stacking position and protrude from the container bottom of a stacked container, in the area of the bottom of the container lower edge of the side walls connects.
- the side walls are formed or articulated on the handle frame in such a way that their outer surface lies behind the outer surface of the handle frame and that webs are formed beginning on the outer surface of the side walls at the edge which faces the handle frame. the edge of the side edge, which is flush with the side wall edge, is placed against the lower surface of the handle frame when the side wall is in the stacking position.
- Cross-section are formed as a fillet or V-profile, the channel opening facing away from the channel-shaped webs thus formed facing away from the corresponding side wall.
- the grip frame is designed as a closed hollow profile, in particular a rectangular cross section.
- At least two mutually parallel frame legs of the handle frame have handle recesses in the center.
- FIG. 1 and 2 are schematic representations of a box-shaped container in the stacking position (FIG. 1) and in the boxing position (FIG. 2);
- Figure 3 seen a container in the position of Figure 1 from above.
- Figure likewise without the handle frame running around the mouth; Figure 5 seen the container in the position of Figure 2 from above.
- Figure 6 seen the container of Figure 3 in section VI-VI of Figure 3;
- FIG. 7 is a sectional view in the direction of line VII-VII of FIG. 5;
- Fig. 9 seen a detail in section.
- a box-shaped container made of plastic is shown, which is used to hold any objects, especially vegetables or fruit.
- the container has a bottom, four side walls 1, 2 and a grip frame 3 encircling the mouth.
- the side walls 1 and 2 are articulated with their upper edge 4 on the handle frame 3.
- the lower edge 5 of the side walls 1, 2 go over if necessary
- the articulation areas between the side walls 1, 2 and the handle frame 3 and in the area 6 and between the areas 6 and the bottom middle part 8 are each formed by film hinges.
- the side walls 1, 2 and the molded-on surface areas 6 forming part of the base are trapezoidal, the long base of the side walls 1, 2 on the handle frame 3 and the short base of the
- the adjacent edge edges of the side walls 1, 2 can be connected to one another via a material film or the like thin material bridges. Stop strips 9 are formed on the handle frame 3, against which the side walls 1, 2 in the area close to the handle frame 3 are placed in the stacking position according to FIGS. 1 and 6. At the surface areas 6 and / or also formed on the lower edge of the side walls 1, 2
- Bottom middle part 8 are formed on stop strips 10 which rest in the stacking position according to FIG. 1 or FIG. 6 on the bottom middle part or on the surface areas 6. These stop bars serve as limitation of the swivel path for the side walls or for the areas 6.
- the bottom middle part 8 has a handle bar 11 so that the user can grip this handle bar 11 and the bottom part! can easily be transferred from the position shown in FIG. 6 to the position shown in FIG. 7.
- the handle frame 3 has recesses 12 on the end face into which stacking projections 13 can be inserted when the container is in the stacking position and protrude from the container bottom of a stacked container, specifically in the area of the bottom that touches the lower edge 5 of the side walls 1 and 2 connects.
- the side walls 1 and 2 are formed or hinged to the handle frame 3 such that their outer surface is behind the outer surface of the handle frame 3. This can be seen in particular from FIG. 8.
- webs 14 are formed beginning at the edge which faces the handle frame 3, the edge of which ends with the edge of the side wall (in the figure 8 above) with the side wall 1 in the stacking position on the lower surface of the handle frame 3 is created, so that this also forms a swivel path limitation.
- These webs 14 run approximately over half the height of the side wall 1 and they are designed in cross section as a fillet or V-profile, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 8 and FIG. 8a.
- the channel mouth of the channel-shaped webs 14 thus formed faces away from the corresponding side wall 1.
- insertion aids are formed when nesting corresponding containers into one another, and a relatively large insertion depth of the nested containers can also be achieved through the channels.
- the grip frame 3 is preferably designed as a closed hollow profile with a rectangular cross section. At least two parallel frame legs of the handle frame 3 have handle recesses 15 in the center.
- the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments, but is often variable within the scope of the disclosure.
