Abstract

The four side walls (2,3) at right angles to the base each have a top half staggered outwards in relation to the bottom half. The side walls' top rim is formed by an outward pointing flange (7). The two side wall halves (2A,3A) contain outward bulges (14) holding support-feet (8) positioned in the lower side wall halves (2B,3B) beneath the bulges. Above the bulges are breaks in the flanged rim. The bulges in one side wall are staggered in position in relation to the outer side wall. The outer edges of the bottom ends of the feet have protruding lugs (11) which fit into cavities or holes (12) in the flanged rim when stacked on top of one another. The feet are formed by ridges (9,13) on the outside of the lower crate half and joined by a ridge (10) parallel with the base.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Transportbehälter aus Kunststoff, der nach dem Drehstapelprinzip stapelbar ist.The invention relates to a plastic transport container, which is stackable according to the rotating stack principle.

Es sind verschiedene Arten von Transportbehältern bekannt geworden, die nach dem Drehstapelprinzip ohne Verwendung eines Deckels übereinander im beladenen Zustand stapelbar sind und die im unbeladenen Zustand ineinander stapelbar sind und dadurch für den Leertransport weniger Transportraum benötigen. Diese Transportbehälter weisen die Form umgestülpter Pyramidenstümpfe auf, im Querschnitt verjüngen sie sich nach unten. Das bringt es mit sich, daß in die Behälter eingestellte quaderförmige Waren während des Transportes kippeln können. Sind die quaderförmigen Waren in mehreren Schichten übereinander in die Transportkästen eingestellt, kann infolge des mit der Höhe zunehmenden Freiraumes zwischen eingestellter Ware und Transportbehälterinnenwand die Ware während des Transportes durcheinanderpurzeln und dabei beschädigt werden. Hohe Stapel verlieren mit zunehmender Höhe wegen der Verjüngung an Standfestigkeit. Various types of shipping containers have become known, which according to the rotary stack principle without using a Lids are stackable one on top of the other when loaded and which are stackable one inside the other when unloaded and thereby require less transport space for empty transport. These transport containers have the shape of inverted truncated pyramids on, in cross-section they taper downwards. This entails that cuboid set in the container Can tilt goods during transport. are the cuboid goods in several layers one on top of the other The transport boxes can be adjusted due to the height increasing space between the goods placed and the inside of the transport container tumble the goods during transport and get damaged in the process. Lose high stacks with increasing height due to the taper in stability.

Ein weiterer Nachteil dieser Art pyramidenstumpfförmiger Transportkästen ist die Notwendigkeit, daß die Wände sich über ihre Höhe erstreckende nach außen gerichtete Ausbuchtungen aufweisen, welche für diese Kästen notwendige Stützfüße bilden und beim Ineinanderstapeln der Aufnahme der Stützfüße von ineinander gestapelten Transportkästen dienen. Durch diese Ausbuchtungen ist die Innenwand der Transportkästen zerklüftet, die Standfestigkeit eingestellter kleinvolumiger quaderförmiger Ware verringert und oft gefährdet und die Reinigung solcher Kästen erschwert.Another disadvantage of this type of truncated pyramid-shaped transport boxes is the need for the walls to overlap theirs Have height-extending bulges, which form the necessary support feet for these boxes and when stacking the support feet into each other stacked transport boxes. Through these bulges the inner wall of the transport boxes is jagged, the Stability set small-volume cuboid Goods are reduced and often endangered and the cleaning of such Boxes difficult.

Bekannt sind auch Kästen mit rechtwinklig zur Bodenfläche angeordneten Seitenwänden, deren obere Hälfte mit Rippen, Etikettenfeldern und eventuell Handgriffen oder Handgrifflöchern versehen ist und deren obere Hälfte der Seitenwände gegenüber der unteren Seitenwandhälfte nach außen versetzt ist, wobei der Übergang durch einen Absatz gebildet ist. Diese Art von Kästen hat den Vorteil, daß der untere Teil der Ware fest in einem quaderförmigen Hohlraum steht und, soweit die Ware in die obere Hälfte des Transportkastens hineinragt, leicht mit den Händen ergriffen und ausgeladen werden kann.Boxes arranged at right angles to the floor surface are also known Side walls, the upper half with ribs, label fields and possibly handles or handle holes is provided and the upper half of the side walls opposite the lower side wall half is offset to the outside, whereby the transition is formed by a paragraph. This kind of Boxes has the advantage that the lower part of the goods are firmly in a cuboid cavity and, as far as the goods in the upper half of the transport box protrudes slightly with can be taken by hand and unloaded.

Die Erfindung vermeidet die Nachteile des Standes der Technik. Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, mit einfachen Mitteln unter geringem Materialaufwand einen drehstapelbaren Kasten hoher Stabilität und hoher Standfestigkeit zu schaffen, der in seinem Unterteil einen quaderförmigen Raum für das Einstellen von Ware aufweist, d.h. einen Raum aufweist, dessen Seitenwände glatt und eben ohne Aus- und Einbuchtungen sind und rechtwinklig zur Bodenfläche stehen. The invention avoids the disadvantages of the prior art. It is the object of the invention to take with simple means low material cost a stackable box high To create stability and high stability, which in its Lower part of a cuboid space for setting Goods, i.e. has a room whose side walls are smooth and level with no bulges and indentations and are rectangular stand on the floor.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch einen Transportbehälter aus Kunststoff, der nach dem Drehstapelprinzip stapelbar ist, bestehend aus einem Boden und vier rechtwinklig zum Boden verlaufenden Seitenwänden, deren obere Hälfte gegenüber der unteren Hälfte nach außen versetzt ist und deren oberer Rand durch eine nach außen weisende Krempe gebildet ist, bei dem in den oberen Seitenwandhälften nach außen gerichtete Ausbuchtungen für die Aufnahme von unter diesen Ausbuchtungen in den unteren Seitenwandhälften angeordnete Stützfüße vorgesehen sind, bei dem oberhalb dieser Ausbuchtungen Ausnehmungen in der Krempe befindlich sind, bei dem die Ausbuchtungen an einer Seitenwand versetzt gegenüber Ausbuchtungen an der anderen Seitenwand angeordnet sind, bei dem die Stützfüße an ihrem unteren Ende mit einem an der Außenkante liegenden nasenartigen Vorsprung versehen sind, der beim Übereinanderstapeln in Ausnehmungen oder Vertiefungen in der Krempe eintaucht, und bei dem die Stützfüße durch Rippen an der Außenseite der unteren Kastenhälfte gebildet sind, welche durch eine bodenparallele Rippe miteinander verbunden sind, welche den nasenartigen Vorsprung trägt.The invention solves this problem with a transport container made of plastic, which can be stacked according to the rotary stack principle, consisting of one floor and four at right angles to the floor Sidewalls, the top half of which is opposite the bottom Half is offset to the outside and its upper edge through an outward-facing brim is formed, in which in the upper side wall halves outward bulges for the inclusion of these bulges in the lower side wall halves arranged support feet are provided in the above these bulges are recesses in the brim are, in which the bulges offset on a side wall arranged opposite bulges on the other side wall are, with the support feet at their lower end with one the nose-like projection lying on the outer edge is provided, that when stacking in recesses or depressions immersed in the brim, and in which the support feet by ribs which are formed on the outside of the lower half of the box are connected to each other by a rib parallel to the floor, which carries the nose-like projection.

Dieser Transportbehälter ist drehstapelbar, weist eine hohe Stabilität und Standfestigkeit auf, weist in seinem Unterteil einen quaderförmigen Raum für die Aufnahme der Ware ohne Ausund Einbuchtungen der Seitenwände in der unteren Hälfte auf. Da die für das Drehstapeln notwendigen Stützfüße an der Außenseite des unteren Teiles angebracht sind, ist die Stabilität und Standfestigkeit erhöht. Da diese Stützfüße aus Rippen gebildet sind, ist der Materialverbrauch für die Stützfüße gering und ihre Herstellung einfach. Da die Stützfüße einen nasenartigen Vorsprung an ihrem Ende aufweisen, der in Ausnehmungen bzw. Vertiefungen in der die obere Kante des Kastens bildenden Krempe eingreift, ist bei der Beladung mit schwerem Schüttgut ein Auswölben der Seitenwände vermieden.This transport container is stackable and has a high height Stability and stability, shows in its lower part a cuboid-shaped space for receiving the goods without baffles Indentations of the side walls in the lower half. As the supporting feet for the stacking on the outside the lower part is attached, is the stability and increased stability. Because these support feet are formed from ribs the material consumption for the support feet is low and making them simple. Because the support feet have a nose-like Have protrusion at their end, the in recesses or depressions in the top edge of the box Brim engages when loading with heavy Bulk prevents the side walls from bulging.

Eine hohe Stabilität bei niedrigem Materialverbrauch wird auch dadurch erzielt, daß die Stützfüße jeweils durch zwei parallel zueinander verlaufende, sich bis zur Unterkante der oberen Seitenwandhälfte erstreckende Rippen und eine sie verbindende Fußfläche gebildet sind.A high stability with low material consumption is also achieved in that the support feet each by two in parallel mutually extending, up to the lower edge of the upper Side wall half extending ribs and a connecting them Foot surface are formed.

Diese Stabilität läßt sich noch dadurch steigern, daß zwischen den beiden Parallelrippen eine weitere vorzugsweise kurze und vorzugsweise dreieckförmige Rippe angeordnet ist.This stability can be increased by the fact that between the two parallel ribs another preferably short and preferably triangular rib is arranged.

Weiter dient es der Steigerung der Stabilität, wenn die Stützfüße paarweise nebeneinander und nur durch einen Abstand von etwas mehr als einer Rippenbreite nebeneinander angeordnet sind.It also serves to increase stability when the support feet in pairs next to each other and only by a distance of slightly more than one rib width are arranged side by side.

Auch dient es hierbei einer zusätzlichen Steigerung der Stabilität, wenn die Ausbuchtungen der oberen Seitenwandhälfte mittig eine nach innen gerichtete Rippe aufweisen.It also serves to increase stability, if the bulges of the upper half of the side wall are in the middle have an inward rib.

Ein doppelter Boden steigert nicht nur die Stabilität des Bodens gegen Auswölbungen nach unten bei hoher mittiger Belastung, sondern kann auch die Stabilität der Stützfüße erhöhen, wenn an den an seiner Unterseite verrippten Boden ein weiterer an seiner Oberseite verrippter Boden angeschweißt ist, und bei dem dieser Boden an seinen Kanten mit etwa mittig unter die Stützfüße reichenden nach oben verrippten Vorsprüngen versehen ist, deren Rippen mit den unter den Stützfüßen befindlichen Rippen verschweißt sind.A double floor not only increases the stability of the floor against bulging downwards under high central loads, but can also increase the stability of the support feet when on the bottom ribbed on the bottom another on his Top of the ribbed bottom is welded, and in which this Bottom at its edges with the middle reaching under the support feet projections ribbed upwards is provided, the Ribs welded to the ribs located under the support feet are.

Dieser Transportbehälter eignet sich auch, ein Paar von darüber gestapelten Transportbehältern der halben Grundfläche zu tragen, bei denen die Stützfüße an den Stirnseiten angeordnet sind, wenn beidseits der Transportbehältermittelebene weitere Ausnehmungen oder Vertiefungen für die Aufnahme von vorspringenden Stützfüßen quer gestapelter Transportkästen der halben Bodenfläche angeordnet sind. Andererseits kann der Transportbehälter auch auf einem Paar von Transportbehältern halber Grundfläche gestapelt werden, wenn in der Krempe mindestens der einen Längsseite Ausnehmungen oder Vertiefungen der Länge angeordnet sind, bei der die Vorsprünge eines Paares von Stützfüßen angenommen werden können.This transport container is also suitable for a pair of them stacked transport containers to half the floor space wear, where the support feet are arranged on the end faces if on both sides of the middle of the transport container further recesses or recesses for the reception of protruding support feet of stacked transport boxes half the floor area are arranged. On the other hand, the Transport containers also on a pair of transport containers half of the base area, if at least in the brim one long side recesses or depressions the length at which the protrusions of a pair can be accepted by support feet.

Der Transportbehälter der Fig. 1 - 4 besteht aus einem Boden 1 und zwei Längsseitenwänden 2 sowie zwei Stirnseitenwänden 3. Der Boden 1 ist zweischalig gefertigt, aus einem oben glatten, ebenen Oberboden 1A, der nach unten weisende Rippen 4A aufweist, und einen Unterboden 1B, welcher nach oben gerichtete Rippen 4B aufweist. Diese Rippen 4A, 4B sind an ihren Stirnseiten in der Schweißebene 5 miteinander verschweißt.1-4 consists of a bottom 1 and two longitudinal side walls 2 and two end side walls 3. The bottom 1 is made of two shells, from a smooth top flat top floor 1A, which has downward-pointing ribs 4A, and an underbody 1B which has upward ribs 4B. These ribs 4A, 4B are in at their end faces the welding level 5 welded together.

Die Längsseitenwände 2 und die Stirnseitenwände 3 bestehen aus einem an die Kanten des Bodens angeformten unteren Teil 2B, 3B und einem nach außen vorspringenden oberen Teil 2A, 3A. Diese beiden Teile sind über einen bodenparallelen Absatz 6 miteinander verbunden. Der obere Teil 2A, 3A ist am oberen Rand durch eine Randrippe oder Krempe 7 abgeschlossen.The longitudinal side walls 2 and the end side walls 3 consist of a lower part 2B molded onto the edges of the base, 3B and an outwardly projecting upper part 2A, 3A. This the two parts are connected to one another via a parallel shoulder 6 connected. The upper part 2A, 3A is at the upper edge completed by a rib or brim 7.

Sowohl die Längsseitenwände 2 als auch die Stirnseitenwände 3 tragen an ihrer Außenseite Stützfüße 8. Diese bestehen aus einem Paar von senkrecht zur Bodenebene verlaufenden Rippen 9, die sich vom Boden 1 bis zum Absatz 6 erstrecken. An ihrer Unterkante sind diese Rippen 9 durch eine die Fußfläche 10 bildende Rippe miteinander verbunden, die an ihrer nach außen gerichteten Kante einen nach unten gerichteten Vorsprung 11 trägt. Dieser Vorsprung 11 greift beim Übereinanderstapeln der Transportbehälter in Ausnehmungen oder Vertiefungen 12 der Krempe 7 ein und bewirkt dadurch einen festen Sitz des darüber gestapelten Kastens sowie eine Stabilisierung der Seitenwände 2, 3 des darunter gestapelten Kastens.Both the longitudinal side walls 2 and the end side walls 3 wear support feet 8 on their outside a pair of ribs 9 running perpendicular to the ground plane, which extend from floor 1 to paragraph 6. On its lower edge these ribs 9 are formed by a foot surface 10 Rib joined together, the one facing outward Edge carries a downward projection 11. This projection 11 engages when stacking the transport containers in recesses or depressions 12 of the brim 7 and thereby causes a firm fit of the stacked over it Box and a stabilization of the side walls 2, 3 of the box stacked underneath.

Der Versteifung der Fußfläche 10 dient eine weitere, zwischen den Rippen 9 angeordnete Stützrippe 13, die im Ausführungsbeispiel dreieckförmig geformt ist und deren eine längere Seite an der Seitenwand 2, 3 und deren eine kürzere Seite an der oberen Fläche der Fußfläche 10 angeformt ist, während die längste Seite frei nach außen weist.The stiffening of the foot surface 10 serves a further, between the ribs 9 arranged support rib 13, which in the embodiment is triangular and one of them longer side on the side wall 2, 3 and a shorter one Is formed on the upper surface of the foot surface 10, while the longest side faces outwards.

An den Längsseitenwänden 2 sind die Stützfüße 8 jeweils als ein Paar dicht nebeneinander an zwei Orten in der bei Drehstapelkästen üblichen und notwendigen Versetzung angeordnet. An den Stirnseitenwänden 3 sind die Stützfüße 8 hingegen einzeln angeordnet.On the longitudinal side walls 2, the support feet 8 are each as a pair close to each other in two locations in the rotary stacking boxes usual and necessary transfer arranged. On the end walls 3, however, the support feet 8 are individual arranged.

Damit ein Ineinanderstapeln für den Leertransport möglich ist, weisen die oberen Hälften der Seitenwände 2, 3 Ausbuchtungen 14 auf, die so dimensioniert sind, daß sie die Stützfüße 8 eines hineingestapelten Kastens aufnehmen können.So that stacking for empty transport is possible, have the upper halves of the side walls 2, 3 bulges 14, which are dimensioned so that they support the 8th of a stacked box.

Es ist zweckmäßig, die Stützfüße in den Doppelboden 1 zu integrieren und den Doppelboden 1 in die Fußfläche 10 hineinragen zu lassen.It is advisable to place the support feet in the raised floor 1 integrate and the raised floor 1 protrude into the foot surface 10 allow.

Wie die Fig. 8 zeigt, erstreckt sich der Doppelboden 1 bis vor die Stirnseite 17 des Stützfußes 8, unter der sich der Vorsprung 11 befindet.As shown in FIG. 8, the double floor 1 extends to in front of the end face 17 of the support leg 8, under which the Projection 11 is located.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 9 erstreckt sich der Hohlraum 16 des doppelten Bodens 1 über den Vorsprung 11 hinaus. In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 9, the cavity extends 16 of the double bottom 1 beyond the projection 11.

In den Fig. 5 bis 7 ist ein weiterer Transportbehälter dargestellt. Dieser weist die halbe Grundfläche des Transportkastens der Fig. 1 bis 4 auf. Er ist paarweise auf einem Transportkasten der Fig. 1 bis 4 stapelbar, andererseits ist ein Transportkasten der Fig. 1 bis 4 auch auf einem Paar von Transportkästen der Fig. 5 bis 7 stapelbar.5 to 7 a further transport container is shown. This has half the base of the transport box 1 to 4. It is in pairs on one 1 to 4 stackable, on the other hand 1 to 4 is also on a Pair of transport boxes of FIGS. 5 to 7 stackable.

Der Transportkasten der Fig. 5 - 7 weist an den Stirnseiten Stützfüße 8 gleicher oder zumindest ähnlicher Form wie die des Transportkastens der Fig. 1 - 4 auf. Die nach unten gerichteten Vorsprünge 11 dieser Stützfüße 8 greifen in Vertiefungen 12A und 12B der Krempe 7 ein. Die Vertiefungen 12A sind allein für diese Vorsprünge 11 an den Stützfüßen 8 der Kästen der Fig. 5 - 7 vorgesehen. Sie weisen eine der Vorsprunglänge entsprechende Länge auf. Die Vertiefungen 12B sind erheblich länger ausgeführt, weil sie für die Aufnahme von Vorsprüngen 11 sowohl der Kästen der Fig. 1 - 4 als auch der Kästen der Fig. 5 - 7 dienen. 5-7 has on the end faces Support feet 8 of the same or at least similar shape as that of the transport box of FIGS. 1-4. The down directed projections 11 of these support feet 8 engage in depressions 12A and 12B of brim 7. The depressions 12A are alone for these projections 11 on the support feet 8 of 5-7 provided. They have one of the protrusion lengths corresponding length. The depressions 12B are running significantly longer because of the inclusion of projections 11 of both the boxes of Figs. 1-4 and 5 to 7 serve the boxes.
