Definitions

  • the invention relates to a collapsible container, in particular for clothing, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such containers are often used as wardrobes when camping or in the house for storing summer things in winter or winter things in summer. When not in use, the container should take up as little space as possible. Access to the inside of the container is made possible by a door in the casing, which can usually be opened and closed with a zipper. Due to the resilience of the material of the cover, opening and closing the zipper is tedious. Rods between the bottom and the ceiling part would solve this problem, but then the construction and collapse of the container would be labor-intensive, since the linkage must be inserted into the corresponding receptacles in the bottom and in the ceiling part or must be solved by them. In addition, the long rods must be stowed somewhere for themselves when clearing away.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a container of the generic type, which can be very easily folded and put back together.
  • the bottom part with the top part permanently by a collapsible Linkage is connected, the container is brought into its storage shape by simply pulling the bottom part and the top part apart and by pressing the bottom part and the top part together.
  • the linkage has rods which are pivotally attached on the one hand to the bottom part and on the other hand to the ceiling part and consist of at least two parts which are connected to one another by a hinge.
  • each corner of the container which can be folded parallel to one side of the container, each part of the rod being shorter than this side, in order to avoid that when collapsing of the container a rod part protrudes laterally from the bottom and top part.
  • the hinges can be designed so that they only allow the rod parts to pivot inwards.
  • the hinges can be locked in the extended position of the rod parts.
  • the two rods arranged on opposite corners of the container can be folded against one another and a connecting rod is provided between these rods, which is articulated at its ends to the two rods and consists of at least two parts which are connected to one another by a hinge.
  • this hinge designed so that it only allows pivoting of the connecting rod parts to the outside, the stretched position effectively prevents the parts of the rods which connect the base part from the ceiling part from collapsing.
  • the hinge can be locked in the extended position. This locking can take place automatically when the container is used in that the connecting rod, which is expediently arranged relatively close to the lid part, is loaded downwards, i.e. inwards, for example by connecting the connecting rods between pairs of rods arranged on opposite sides of the container as supports serve for a shelf or are connected to each other by a cross bar that serves as a clothes rail.
  • the base part and the ceiling part can have peripheral walls which lie on one another when the container is collapsed and form a closed container which receives the linkage and the casing.
  • the pivot bearings of the rod parts are then offset from one another on the inner sides of opposite peripheral walls of the base part and of the cover part such that the rods lie one above the other at the corners of a container side in the folded container.
  • the container has a bottom part 1 and a top part 2, which are connected to one another by a collapsible linkage.
  • An envelope not shown, made of a resilient material, for example a film, is attached on the one hand to the bottom part and on the other hand to the ceiling part and is provided with a door which can be closed by a zipper or the like.
  • the base part 1 consists of a rectangular base plate 3 and peripheral walls, one peripheral wall 4 of which is narrower than the opposite peripheral wall 5.
  • the cover part 2 has a rectangular cover plate 6 and peripheral walls, of which the peripheral wall 7 corresponds to the narrow peripheral wall 4 of the base part 1 is opposite, is as wide as the other peripheral wall 5 of the base part and the peripheral wall 8 of the cover part 2 opposite the wide peripheral wall 7 is as narrow as the peripheral wall 4 of the base part.
  • the different widths are provided to easily accommodate the rods in the collapsed container.
  • the bottom part 1 and the top part 2 lie on top of one another in the collapsed state of the container, and they then form a container which receives the linkage and the casing.
  • a collapsible linkage is arranged on opposite sides of the container, which is shown in detail in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • a rod 9 or 10 arranged, which consists of two rod parts 9a, 9b and 10a, 10b connected by a hinge 11 and 12, respectively.
  • the rod part 9a is connected to the ceiling part 2 by a pivot bearing 13 and the rod part 9b is connected to the bottom part 1 by a pivot bearing 14.
  • the rod parts 10a and 10b are connected to the ceiling part 2 and to the bottom part 1 by pivot bearings 15 and 16, respectively.
  • the hinges 11 and 12 are designed so that they only allow the rod parts to pivot inwards.
  • the container By pushing the hinges in the direction of the arrows in FIG. 2, the container can be folded up in a simple manner.
  • the hinges 11, 12 can additionally be designed such that they are locked in the extended position (FIG. 1) of the rod parts 9a, 9b or 10a, 10b, which increases the stability of the container when it is set up.
  • a lockable design of the hinges 11, 12 is not required if a connecting rod 17 is provided between the rods 9 and 10, which is pivotably attached to the rod parts 9a and 10a at 18 and 19 and also consists of two parts 17a and 17b, which are connected by a hinge 20.
  • the connecting rod 17 is expediently arranged near the ceiling part 2.
  • the hinge 20 is designed such that the rod parts 17a and 17b can only be pivoted upwards in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2. In the extended position 17 according to FIG. 1, the connecting rod 17 prevents the rods 9 and 10 from folding in.
  • the hinge 20 can in turn be designed such that it is releasably locked in the extended position of the connecting rod.
  • Such a lock arises automatically when the connecting rod is too loaded downwards, for example in that the connecting rods between the pairs of rods, which are arranged on opposite sides of the container, serve as supports for a shelf.
  • a cross bar 22 could be clipped onto the connecting rods, which serves as a clothes rail.
  • the pivot bearings 13 to 16 of the rods 9, 10 are attached to the inner sides of the peripheral walls 4, 5, 7 and 8 of the bottom part 1 and the ceiling part 2, in such a way that the pivot bearing 13 of the rod 9 on the ceiling part 2 has a smaller distance from the ceiling inner surface 23 than the swivel bearing 14 of this rod from the floor inner surface 24.
  • the distance of the swivel bearing 15 of the rod 10 from the cover inner surface 23 is greater than the distance of the swivel bearing 16 of this rod from the floor inner surface 24
  • the rod parts 9a, 9b and 10a, 10b easily overlap.
  • the container can be manufactured very inexpensively.
  • rods 9, 10 and 17 could also consist of more than two parts connected by hinges.
  • the bottom and the top part could also each be formed by a rectangular frame.
