Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container made in particular of plastic for the transport of fruit and vegetables consisting of a container bottom and four hinged side walls.
  • Such containers are known, the side walls either over spaced Articulated hinges distributed over the circumference of the floor or integrally molded film hinges attached to the bottom of the container are. This means that the side walls can be adjusted after using the container fold inside on the floor so that for return transport and storage the empty container is accompanied by a reduction in the space requirement.
  • the film hinges have the advantage over the hinge that they easy to clean and easy to manufacture.
  • the hinge have the advantage that the side walls are removed from the floor leave, so that in the event of damage, an exchange different from the one-piece Film hinges is possible.
  • a container with hinged side walls is known from US-A-4 081 099, in which a hinge arrangement of a hinge pin and one around the hinge pin arranged, rotating hinge sleeve is provided. There is one on the hinge sleeve Formed locking lug, which abuts a stop when the side wall is erected, by one prevent further rotation of the side wall outwards beyond the vertical position.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a container with foldable side walls which the hinges are designed as snap-in connectors and in which the erect Sidewalls cannot be swung outwards or pressed, so that a very stable container is guaranteed in the upright position.
  • This stability of the Container should also be improved by allowing vertical movement of the side walls is largely avoided in an upright position.
  • At least one latch is provided on the hinge pin in particular integrally formed, which is arranged in the upright position of the side wall with a bottom side Stop shoulder interacts, engages behind and so a mechanical Lock forms, so that the side wall is fixed in the open position and not can be given away to the outside. This will make any "rickety feeling" of such a container with foldable side walls excluded.
  • the side walls are connected to the floor via hinges, whereby the hinges are designed in the manner of lockable plug connections by the formed hinge elements in corresponding insertion openings insertable on the bottom side and behind locking lugs or similar locking elements can be locked.
  • the locking elements are connected with the hinge elements on the side wall, the hinges or part of the hinges form.
  • the side walls are expediently mounted vertically from above the hinge elements inserted in the bottom openings, the locking lugs, the are preferably arranged opposite each other within the opening, dodge and then snap behind the hinge pin so that the side walls are firmly anchored to the floor are.
  • a removal of the side walls is expediently possible by that the locking lugs are pressed separately, possibly with a tool to the rear become.
  • at least a latch protrudes laterally from the hinge pin and with one inside the insertion opening trained stop cooperates in the manner of a shoulder, so that in unfolded Position of the side wall as a result of the direct contact of the latch on the stop shoulder an additional mechanical lock is formed. This results in a very stable Feeling of the folding container when handling in transport position. Because the latches or locking springs that snap behind the hinge pin and lock it, at the same time part of the hinge bearing, there is a simple design of the hinges.
  • the plastic container shown in Figures 1 to 4 comprises two narrow side walls 1 and two longitudinal side walls 2, which are separate from the floor 3 manufactured and by means of snap-fit quick connectors on the bottom of the container 3 can be mounted, by hinge hinging together are formed, around which the side walls 1 and 2 towards the container bottom 3 are foldable.
  • This folding position can be seen in FIG. 4, where first the two narrow side walls 1 folded onto the floor are then the folding of the longitudinal side walls 2, which according to Figure 4 overlap each other.
  • the container side walls 1 and 2 have at their upper edge in the container corners Elevations 4 in the manner of projections, with on the two longitudinal side walls 2 corresponding elevations or projections also in the central area 5 are provided, as can be seen quite clearly from FIGS. 1 and 2 results.
  • 3 corresponding stacking grooves are provided on the underside of the base, namely in the illustrated embodiment, two stacking grooves 6 transverse to Longitudinal extension and a stacking groove 7 in the direction of the longitudinal extension, such as again results from Figures 1 and 2.
  • the recesses of the stacking groove 7 are visible in the areas 7a and 7b, that is to say provided at the edge and in the middle, in fact in agreement with the elevations 4 and 5 at the top of the side walls, because this with offset stacking in the stacking grooves 6 and 7 of the overhead container intervention.
  • the execution of the stacking groove 7 has only a partial stacking groove the advantage that the rib structure in the floor, which will be explained in more detail below and side walls can be reduced in thickness only in certain partial areas must, which brings advantages for the stability of the container. You can see them Stacking grooves 6 and 7 formed by recesses upwards within the floor are so that the underside of the floor is largely kept flat, what the stacking and the trouble-free transport of the containers on transport conveyor rollers is advantageous.
  • both the side walls 1 are in the illustrated embodiment and 2, like the floor, are formed in a profile structure that is level and smooth inner surfaces of the walls and floor leads, so that the inside of the Container no protruding ribs are present, what a gentle Transport of the goods in the folding container, in particular fruit and Vegetables, is beneficial.
  • This profile structure is best seen in detail Figure 2, left representation for the longitudinal side wall 2, wherein Figure 5 is a detailed view to explain the profile structure of the wall and floor surfaces in shows enlarged view.
  • the wall and floor are visible with little S-type or L-type rib profiles 9 arranged at a distance from one another formed, the wall or floor thickness by a flat web 9a, the outside by a web 9b curved in the manner of a hook and the wall or bottom inner surface is formed by a flat web area 9c.
  • the free Gap between adjacent S-profiles is designated by 10. This is special dimensioned so that ventilation of the goods in the container, in particular in a stack on a pallet from the outside is possible, however one Falling out or reaching out of the transported inside the container Good things are prevented.
  • the outside of the side walls or the can be seen lower bottom surface of the bottom 3 delimited by the rib-like web areas 9b, where the wider web area 9c the inner wall surfaces as well as the floor surface.
  • This profile structure results a lightweight, but extremely stable structure of soil and Sidewall surfaces.
  • This structure increases the stability of the container due to the arrangement of the stack grooves 6 and 7 described above not weakened because the continuously formed stacking grooves 6 extend in the longitudinal direction of the "S" rib profiles 9 and the stacking groove 7 is only partially formed, in particular in the middle and in the edge area only part of the "S" rib profiles 9 in terms of thickness to form the stacking groove must be weakened.
  • the profile structure advantageously complements each other of the bottom and the stack recesses.
  • FIG. 6 shows a longitudinal side wall 2 in individual representation, one on the right lateral front view and a view from below of this side wall in is presented informatively.
