Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plastic, in particular Containers for the transport of fruits and vegetables consisting of one Container bottom and four hinged side walls.
  • Such containers are known, the side walls either over spaced apart, arranged over the circumference of the floor Articulated hinges or integrally molded film hinges on Container bottom are connected. This means that the side walls can be removed Use the container inside out on the floor so that for the Return transport and storage of the empty containers will reduce the Requires space.
  • the film hinges have compared to the Hinges have the advantage that they are easy to clean and also enable easy manufacture. The hinges bring the The advantage is that the side walls can be removed from the floor, so that in the event of damage, an exchange different from that of the one-piece film hinges is possible.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a container made of plastic, the allows easy mounting of the side walls on the tank bottom. Further the handling of the container should be particularly when folding and Raising process of the side walls enables and a stable design of the Container in transport position with goods picked up. The collapse of the container should also be quick and easy and just happen.
  • On at least two opposite side walls are for the transfer of the erected container in its folded position to be released with simple finger pressure Locking elements in particular in the two upper corner areas of the narrow side walls provided, the corresponding locking projections of the other side walls in the locking position grip and are arranged or designed such that by releasing the locking elements
  • the side walls which can be folded inwards at first, are also folded inwards by finger pressure only one operation for unlocking and folding in the side walls is required.
  • These locking elements are expediently by handle elements formed with a hook-like locking bar, the handle element is advantageously articulated at two points with respect to the side wall, so that when Pressing the grip element pivots around these articulation points and thus one Solution of the lock is guaranteed.
  • pressing the handle element with the release of the lock also the corresponding side wall on the inside folded the bottom of the container.
  • the plastic container shown in Figures 1 to 4 comprises two narrow side walls 1 and two longitudinal side walls 2, which are made separately from the floor 3 and by snap-fit quick connectors can be mounted on the tank bottom 3, whereby hinges are formed by plugging around which the side walls 1 and 2 can be folded towards the container bottom 3.
  • This folding position can be seen from Figure 4, with the first two narrow side walls 1 on the floor are folded, then the folding of the longitudinal side walls 2 takes place, according to Figure 4 overlap each other.
  • the container side walls 1 and 2 have elevations on their upper edge in the container corners 4 in the manner of projections, with on the two longitudinal side walls 2 also in Corresponding elevations or projections 5 are provided in the middle area, as they are can be seen quite clearly from FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • 3 corresponding stacking grooves are on the underside of the bottom provided, namely in the illustrated embodiment two stacking grooves 6 transversely to the longitudinal extent and a stacking groove 7 in the direction of the longitudinal extent, as is again results from Figures 1 and 2.
  • the stacking grooves 6, which are parallel to the Both narrow side walls run continuously, whereas the one in the middle trained stacking groove 7, which extends parallel to the longitudinal side walls 1, only partially 3, right half, which shows the view of the floor seen from below.
  • the recesses in the stacking groove 7 can be seen 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 on the upper edge of the side walls, since these at Staggered stacking in the stacking grooves 6 and 7 of the overhead container.
  • the Execution of the stacking groove 7 as a partial stacking groove has the advantage that the following Rib structure in the floor and side walls explained in more detail only in certain partial areas must be reduced in thickness, which has advantages for the stability of the container brings.
  • the stack grooves 6 and 7 are visible through recesses upwards inside of the floor are formed so that the bottom of the floor is largely kept flat is for stacking and trouble-free transport of the containers on transport conveyor rollers is advantageous.
  • Recesses 8 can be seen in which the hinges from the top of the floor the side walls are inserted. These recesses are spaced apart arranged, in the illustrated embodiment, two hinge recesses per longitudinal side wall 2 8 are provided on the bottom. These hinge recesses 8 are also from Figures 1 and 2, each left representation, in the engaged position with the corresponding Hinge counter elements of the side walls can be seen.
  • both the side walls 1 and 2 are in the illustrated embodiment also the floor is formed in a profile structure that leads to flat and smooth inner surfaces the walls and the bottom, so that no protruding ribs on the inside of the container are present, what a gentle transport of the recorded in the folding container Guts, especially fruits and vegetables, is beneficial.
  • This profile structure results in detail best from Figure 2, left representation for the longitudinal side wall 2, wherein Figure 5 shows a detailed view for explaining the profile structure of the wall and floor surfaces in an enlarged manner Representation shows.
  • the wall and floor can be seen through a small distance mutually arranged, here S or L-like rib profiles 9 are formed, the wall or floor thickness by a flat web 9a, the outside by a hook-like curved web 9b and the wall or floor inner surface through a flat web area 9c is formed.
  • the free gap between adjacent S-profiles is designated by 10. This is in particular dimensioned so that ventilation of the accommodated in the container Good, especially in a stack on a pallet from the outside is possible, however prevents the goods transported within the container from falling out or being pulled out is. You can see the outside of the side walls or the lower floor area of the bottom 3 delimited by the rib-like web areas 9b, whereas the wider one Web area 9c limits the inner wall surfaces and the floor surface.
  • FIG. 6 shows a longitudinal side wall 2 in individual representation, with a side end view on the right and a bottom view of this side wall is shown for information purposes only.
  • the side wall 2 has hinge elements at its lower edge which can be connected to the base 3 11, in the illustrated embodiment a total of six hinge elements 11, which are arranged at a distance across the long side at the bottom.
  • the hinge element 11 exposes itself in the illustrated embodiment two webs 12 projecting downwards and one that runs transversely thereto and thus integrally formed hinge pin 13 together.
  • the hinge pin 13 projects laterally with two hinge projections or projections 14.
  • the hinge elements 11 are used for the engagement in the corresponding hinge recesses in the bottom 3, what follows is explained in more detail.
