Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stacking box for holding objects, in particular for supplying retail stores.
  • stacking boxes have an upper edge outer dimension of 600 x 400 mm according to an ISO standard, but the design of the box is largely freely selectable.
  • box designs There is a wide variety of box designs. It should be borne in mind that the construction often depends on the objects for which the box is intended. For heavy content, a larger wall thickness of the box is usually chosen than for goods with low weight.
  • a stacking box should not only be stackable with itself, but also with other types of stacking boxes in order to simplify storage. In practice, these requirements are often not met. In particular, it happens that stacking boxes different types in the stacked state can be shifted to one another to such an extent that the upper stacking box sinks into the lower one or can be brought into a position in which it does not find the required support. If the prescribed upper edge outer dimension is adhered to in a thin-walled stacking box, the lower contact area becomes so narrow that it does not fit on the upper wing of a thick-walled edge.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a stacking box that offers multiple uses and allows mixed stacking with a variety of other boxes.
  • the peculiarity of the stacking box according to the invention is that at least one recess open to the inside of the box is provided in the wings.
  • the wings form continuous, continuous sliding surfaces for pulling and pushing on further boxes.
  • the wings have a relatively large maximum width, but the cutouts also allow thin-walled boxes to be put on, provided that these are provided on their footprint with corresponding shapes which penetrate into the cutouts. This results in compatibility with boxes with different edge widths, including existing boxes.
  • Another advantage of the stacking box according to the invention is that other boxes with less Locking dimension can be placed on the stacking box if corresponding projections of the upper box engage in the recesses of the lower box. Smaller boxes can be placed on a stacking box and secured against displacement, as well as hung in a stacking box.
  • numerous cutouts are arranged in a regular sequence on the longitudinal edges of the stacking box, e.g. with a grid dimension of 50 mm.
  • the wing width is changed periodically.
  • the minimum wing width (in the area of the cutouts) is 1/2 to 2/3 of the maximum width.
  • the recesses not only create space for the protrusions of an upper box to penetrate, but also great stability is achieved while at the same time saving material.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section of a side wall 10 of the stacking box according to the invention. Above the side wall 10 is shown a part 11 of an upper box which is stacked on the lower box but is not designed in the manner according to the invention.
  • the side wall 10 is a vertically projecting wall with a wall thickness of approximately 8 mm, which is designed here as a hollow wall.
  • the upper end face of the wall 10 forms an airfoil 12 on which the upper box 11 can rest.
  • In this wing 12 are for Recesses 13 open to the inside and upwards arranged in a regular sequence.
  • the outer edge 14 of the wing 12 is straight and continuous.
  • the recesses 13 have a vertical extension of 8 mm.
  • Their (horizontal) width in the transverse direction to the wall is such that the width of the wing 12 is at least 4 mm at the narrowest point.
  • the upper box 11 has an immersion base 15 which is laterally drawn in opposite to the vertical side wall 16 in order to immerse into the lower box.
  • the immersion base 15 is surrounded by the higher contact surface 17.
  • the recess 13 generally has the shape of an upside down trapezoid, the base of which is arranged in the wing 12 and which tapers towards the bottom. Only one half of this trapezoid is shown in FIG. From the horizontal bottom wall 19, oblique flanks 20 extend up to the wing 12. The transitions from the flanks 20 into the vertical side surfaces 21 and 22 are rounded in the upper region of the recess 13 with an increasing radius. These rounded transitions are designated 23.24 in FIG. They begin about halfway up the flank 20, the radius of curvature increasing upwards until the two transitions 23 and 24 in the plane of the wing 12 Merge into an S-shape.
  • the resulting edge line 25 is S-shaped and kink-free. It passes from the upper edge of the inner surface 21 without kinks into the upper edge of the inner surface 22. This prevents hooking and blocking of protrusions penetrating into the recess 13.
  • the edge line 25 generally forms an incline running at approximately 45 °.
  • the flanks 20 likewise run at 45 ° to the horizontal.
  • FIG. 3 shows a top view of the entire box.
  • This has longitudinal walls 10 and transverse walls 26, which give an overall dimension of 600 x 400 mm.
  • the wing 12 is visible from each of the walls 10 and 26, the contact surfaces 12 of all four walls lie continuously in a common plane over the corner regions. They are interconnected without interruption.
  • Recesses 13 are formed in each wing 12.
  • the bottom surface 19 of each recess has a length of 20 mm, so that there is a length of approximately 30 mm for the total length of the recess 13.
  • the distance dimension a of the recesses 13, that is the size of the center distance between two adjacent recesses, is 50 mm.
  • the length of a recess 13 is in any case 60 to 80 percent of the basic dimension a. This means that the recesses 13 are present in relatively close succession without significant distances.
  • Figure 4 shows an upper box 11, which can rest with its contact surface 17 on the support surface 12 of the lower box, but here is slanted for sliding, the edge of the contact surface 17 can slide on the support surface 12 of the lower box.
  • the Projection 18 is lifted out of the recess 13 into which it can be immersed because of the inclined position.
  • the projection 18 also has a general trapezoidal shape that tapers downwards. However, its height is significantly smaller than the vertical depth of the recess 13, so that it does not reach the bottom of the recess when immersed.
  • FIG. 5 An exemplary embodiment is shown in FIG. 5, in which the support surface 12 is formed on an edge 30 which is arranged offset to the outside relative to the side wall 10 of the container. This makes it possible to make the side wall 10 relatively thin-walled.
  • the maximum width of the wing 12 is 10 mm and the minimum width (in the area of the recesses 13) is 4 mm.
  • the vertical depth of the recesses 13 is 8 mm.
  • the bottoms 19 of the cutouts 13 form the upper sides of the horizontal webs which merge into the edge 30.
  • an outwardly offset edge 30 is also provided.
  • the wing 12 also has a maximum width of 10 mm here.
  • This free area 31 has a width which corresponds approximately to half the maximum width of the wing 12.
  • the free area 31 forms an additional depth gradation. It is particularly useful for thick-walled containers and for compatibility with old boxes, such as meat boxes.
  • FIG. 7 shows a representation of the entire box 33, the wall construction of which is shown in FIG. 6.
  • This box not only allows the same or similar boxes to be stacked on top of one another, but also the insertion of inner boxes 34 which have protrusions 35 which project laterally at their upper edge and which can be inserted into the cutouts 13. The protruding edge of the inner box is also supported on the open area 31.
  • Each inner box 34 is thereby fixed in the outer box.
  • the inner box can be a display attachment or a small box.
  • FIG. 8 shows an embodiment of a box corner which is slightly modified compared to FIG. 7, the box wall being hollow and having no laterally projecting edge.
  • the box wall has a non-protruding outer contour, but horizontal free areas 31 protruding on the inner sides of the outer walls.
  • FIG. 9 shows a modified exemplary embodiment of a box 40 which has a widening 41 on each of its four side walls in the central region, in which there is a single recess 13 of the type described above.
  • the continuously circumferential wing 12 merges into the top of the widening 41.
  • the widening 41 has an overall trapezoidal shape, tapering towards the top.
  • the reverse-trapezoidal recess 13 is contained therein.
  • protrusions 43 which are arranged in a regular sequence and whose height is less than that of the widening 41. This means that the elongated projections 43 do not reach the height of the wing 12.
  • the box of Figure 9 is compatible with boxes having runners on their undersides.
