- the longitudinal side walls 4 and the transverse side walls 5 and the side walls 6 have mutually facing inner surfaces 7 which, in an angular position to the floor 3 of pivoted side walls 6 or at a right angle to the floor 3, form an interior 8 for receiving various transport goods.
- the side walls 6 form a side wall plane 10 running parallel to the side walls 6 through their outer surfaces 9.
- the transverse side walls 5 and the longitudinal side walls 4 or the side walls 6 do not have to be arranged at right angles to one another and can form an interior space 8 delimited by at least three side walls 6.
- the longitudinal side walls 4 and the transverse side walls 5 and the side walls 6 are pivotally connected to the floor 3 via the hinge arrangements 11.
- this joint arrangement 11 can be formed by any possible joint arrangement 11 known from the prior art, with which the side walls can be pivoted in a range from 0 ° to 270 °.
- a connecting device 12 is arranged in the end regions of the side walls 6, which is designed to fix the side walls 6 in their upright filling position.
- These connecting devices 12 comprise coupling receptacles 13 arranged on side walls 6 or in this case on transverse side walls 5, which correspond to coupling elements 14 which are arranged in the further side walls 6 or in the longitudinal side walls 4.
- the coupling receptacle 13 is formed by three webs running perpendicular to one another and is connected in one piece to an end wall, with the side wall 6 designed in this case as a transverse side wall 5.
- the webs of the coupling receptacle 13 with the end wall of the side wall 6 delimit an interior space which serves to receive the coupling element 14 for locking purposes.
- the side walls 6 are provided with stiffening ribs 15 to increase their bending stiffness over their entire extent, wherein the stiffening ribs 15 can be arranged in a horizontal or vertical direction.
- Arresting devices 16 are now arranged in two side walls 6 or in the longitudinal side walls 4, which locking devices have adjustable locking elements 18 via an elastically deformable holding arm 17.
- This locking device 16 or the holding arm 17 runs parallel to a longitudinal extension of the side wall 6 receiving it and is integrally formed on a stiffening rib 15 running perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the side wall 6.
- the opening 19 of the further stiffening rib 15 is penetrated by the holding arm 17 and the opening 19 forms a guide arrangement for an end region of the holding arm 17 which forms the locking element 18.
- the side wall 6 has an opening in the area between the wall bar and the stiffening rib 15 having the opening 19, which enables the locking element 18 to move freely in the direction perpendicular to the side wall plane 10.
- the locking device 16 is completely integrated into the structure of the longitudinal side wall 4 or the side wall 6 receiving it, so that an undesired protrusion beyond the side wall levels 10 formed by the side walls 6 is avoided and thus a space-saving stacking of the transport containers 2 in the filling position side by side is made possible.
- the coupling receptacle 13 or the locking device 16 can be arranged on all side walls 6 of the transport container 2 and thus enables the side walls 6 to be fixed in a filling position which is at an angle to the floor 3.
- all side walls 6 can have openings 20 distributed over their extension, which can contribute to adequate ventilation of the goods to be transported.
- a width 21 of the transverse side wall 5 is of the same size or slightly smaller than an opening width 22, which separates two longitudinal side walls 4, which are positioned vertically to the floor 3. This enables the coupling receptacles 13 to penetrate into the locking devices 16 when the transverse side wall 5 is also pivoted in a position perpendicular to the floor by slightly deforming the longitudinal side walls 4.
- the locking device 16 has a locking element 1 which is adjustably mounted in a side wall 6 and / or the base 3 via an elastically deformable holding arm 17 and which, when the side walls are in the filling position, counteracts at least one of the side walls 6 Pivots locked relative to another side wall 6.
- the locking element 18 is connected to the side wall 6 via at least one elastically deformable holding arm 17 and can be adjusted therefrom from a blocking position into a release position for canceling the pretensioning force in the connecting device 12.
- the holding arm 17 runs between the inner surface 7 and the outer surface 9 and parallel to them and parallel to the floor 3 and the connecting device 12 expands toward the locking element 18.
- the locking element 18 is arranged on an end region of the holding arm 17 facing away from the stiffening rib 15 and the locking element 18 is formed by webs. Furthermore, at least one stiffening rib 15, which runs perpendicular to the holding arm 17 and is provided with the opening 19, is arranged in the side walls 6 for receiving or guiding the elastically deformable holding arm 17. Furthermore, openings or openings in the side walls 6 are arranged in the area of the locking elements 18, through which openings a Mobility of the locking element arranged on the end region of the holding arm 17 facing the further side wall 6 is made possible, the coupling element 14 projecting in this opening or in this opening parallel to the longitudinal extension of the side wall and in the direction of the locking element 18.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 a partial area of the transport container 2, which has the coupling receptacle 13 and the locking device 16, is now cut in the top view or shown in the side view. It can be seen that in the locked position in the filling position of two side walls 6, the coupling receptacle 13 completely engages around the coupling element 14 extending in the direction of the locking device 16.
- a material elevation 23 is arranged on the coupling element 14, which corresponds to a recess 24 in the coupling receptacle 13 that accommodates this material elevation 23.
- This material elevation 23 or the recess 24 are designed in such a way that when the coupling receptacle 13 is attached, it snaps onto the coupling element 14 and thus an independent release of the fixation of the transverse side wall 5 from the longitudinal side wall 4 is reliably avoided.
- a blocking surface 27 of the locking element 18 is now arranged at a distance 25 from an end face 26 of the edge strip of the longitudinal side wall 4.
- the locking element 18 is formed in one piece on the holding arm 17 and, facing the connecting device 12, forms a blocking surface 27 which is approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the holding arm 17. This distance 25 corresponds approximately to a thickness of the transverse side wall 5 in order to avoid a disturbing protrusion of the transverse side wall 5 over the end face 26 of the longitudinal side wall 4.
- the locking element 18 is now connected in the direction of the first stiffening rib 15 by the elastically deformable holding arm 17, which is integrally formed on its end region facing away from the locking element 18 on the stiffening rib 15 running perpendicular to the longitudinal extension to the first in the side wall 6.
- a second stiffening rib 15 is arranged over the longitudinal extension of the holding arm 17 and has a breakthrough 19 for receiving or guiding the holding arm 17 and also perpendicular to a longitudinal extension of the holding arm 17.
- This second stiffening rib 15 is spaced a distance 28 from the first stiffening rib 15, the distance 28 being to be selected such that pivoting of the locking element 18 when the holding arm 17 is deformed is ensured. It is advantageous here if the distance 28 between the stiffening ribs 15 is approximately 2/3 of a total length of the holding arm 17 between a connection point with the stiffening rib 15 and the blocking surface WO 00/01586. g. PCT / AT99 / 00168
- a distance between the end face 26 and the side wall 6 and the locking surface 27 of the locking element 18 corresponds approximately to a thickness of the side wall 6.
- the holding arm 17 can be arranged in its locking element 18 in any angular position with respect to the floor 3, in order to be able to advantageously adapt to stability-increasing conditions in the side walls 6.
- the locking element 18 is formed by webs 29 and has a thickness 30 measured perpendicular to the side wall plane 10, which is greater than a thickness 31 of the holding arm 17.
- the locking element 18 is now formed by at least one web projecting over a surface of the holding arm 17, wherein the web 29 is supported on the holding arm 17 via side webs, the web 29 and the side webs being integrally formed on the holding arm 17.
- the thickness 30 of the locking element 18 is selected such that an end region of the locking element 18 facing the coupling element 14 protrudes beyond the inner surface 7 of the side wall 6 or the longitudinal side wall 4 and thus a locking surface 27 of the locking element 18 on the inner surface 7 of the further side wall 6 or the transverse side wall 5 is applied to achieve a pretensioning force and the locking between the two side walls 6 is thus realized.
- the holding arm 17 or the locking element 18 has a width 32 measured parallel to the side wall plane 10, which is slightly smaller than an opening width 33 of the opening 19. Furthermore, an opening thickness 34 of the opening 19 is slightly larger than the thickness 31 of the holding arm 17.
- the holding arm 17 which is integrally formed on the first stiffening rib 15 and which has the locking element 18 facing away from the first stiffening rib 15 is designed to be elastically deformable and, in the event of the application of force - according to arrow 35 - the holding arm 17 can be deformed. which is shown by the dashed representation of the holding arm 17. For this reason WO 00/01586. Q. PCT / AT99 / 00168
- an opening thickness 34 is to be selected such that when force is applied to the intermediate area between two stiffening ribs 15 - according to arrow 35 - pivoting of the locking element 18 in the direction of the outer surface 9, which enables the locking device 16 to accommodate the side wall 6.
- This pivoting of the locking element 18 releases the further side wall 6 or the transverse side wall 5 from the locking device 16, and thus pivoting the transverse side wall 5 in the direction of the holding arm 17 is possible.
- the release of the connection between the two side walls 6 is now achieved in that the transverse side wall 5 is pivoted outwards by an amount which corresponds to a length 36 of the coupling element 14, whereby the coupling receptacle 13 from a position encompassing the coupling element 14 into a position thereof releasing position is moved.
- the longitudinal side wall 4 can then be moved away from the transverse side wall 5, as a result of which the transverse side wall 5 is completely released and a pivoting of the transverse side wall 5 can be pivoted into a position which is flat with the base 3 or in any other angular position with respect to the base 3.
- the application of force - according to arrow 35 - leads to an increase in the length of the section of the holding arm 17 arranged between the stiffening ribs 15, as a result of which the distance 25 is increased and an unimpeded pivoting of the locking element 18 into a position releasing the transverse side wall 5 is made possible.
- two projections 37 Adjacent to the holding arm 17 or the locking element 18, two projections 37 extend in the direction running parallel to the side wall plane 10, end edges 38 being spaced a short distance 39 from narrow sides 40 of the holding arm 17.
- This advantageous arrangement of the projections 37 enables an additional guidance of the locking element 18, and in this way prevents an undesired pivoting of the holding arm 17 in a direction running parallel to the side wall plane 10.
- the mounting of the holding arm 17 in the side wall 6 is now implemented as follows.
- the holding arm 17 runs parallel to the longitudinal extent of the side wall 6 in the direction of a further side wall 6.
- the holding arm has a greater thickness 30, as a result of which this locking element 18 projects beyond the inner surface 7 of the first side wall 6 and thus locks it the other side wall 6 enables.
- the latter is integrally formed on a first stiffening rib 15 running perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the side wall 6.
- a parallel to the first stiffening rib 15 and at a distance 28 in the direction of the connection device 12 arranged second stiffening rib 15 is an opening 19 for the movable mounting of the holding arm 17, the dimensions of the holding arm 17 being slightly smaller than the dimensions of the locking element 18 receiving or leading opening 19. Furthermore, the opening 19 is designed such that the holding arm 17 can be moved elastically deformable from a first position fixing the side wall 6 or the transverse or longitudinal side wall 5, 4 to a second position releasing the transverse or longitudinal side wall 5, 4. As a result, the second stiffening rib 15 forms a bearing point for holding the holding arm 17 pivotably parallel to a side wall plane 10 formed by the side wall 6.
- the connecting device 12 in turn represents the transverse side wall 5 in the position locked with the longitudinal side wall 4, the coupling receptacle 13 completely engaging around the coupling element 14 and the material elevation 23 of the coupling element 14 engaging in the recess 24 of the coupling receptacle 13.
- the final locking of the transverse side wall 5 in the longitudinal side wall 4 is also realized in this embodiment variant by the locking device 16, which in turn has a holding arm 17 integrally formed on a first stiffening rib 15 running perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the side wall 6.
- the locking element 18 On the end region of the holding arm 17 facing away from this connection, the locking element 18 is in turn arranged, the thickness 30 of which is greater than a thickness 31 of the holding arm 17.
- This locking element 18 has on its blocking surface 27 an extension 41 which is inside the through the webs of the coupling receptacle 13 delimited interior protrudes.
- the blocking surface 27 does not come into contact with the inner surface 7 of the transverse side wall 5, but in this special case lies against an end edge 42 of the coupling receptacle 13.
- a second stiffening rib 15 is again arranged, which is spaced 28 from the first stiffening rib 15.
- the webs 29 of the locking element 18 extend in this embodiment in the direction of the side wall plane 10 and not in the direction of the transverse side wall 5, whereby the locking element 18 with its locking surface 27 touches the coupling receptacle 13 and locks it in its position.
- the arrangement of the extension 41 can also be dispensed with, since the locking can be achieved by the blocking surface 27 alone.
- a further stiffening rib 43 is now additionally arranged parallel to the longitudinal guide of the holding arm 17 and adjacent to the second stiffening rib 15.
- This stiffening rib 43 also has, like the second stiffening rib 15, the opening 19 which is also arranged for the guided mounting of the holding arm 17 having the locking element 1.
- This stiffening rib 43 is now spaced a distance 44 from the second stiffening rib 15, this distance 44 being freely selectable depending on an overall length 45 of the holding arm 17.
- a further stiffening rib 43 which is provided with a breakthrough 19 for the holding arm 17, is arranged parallel to the stiffening rib 15 having the opening 19, so that the immediately adjacent stiffening ribs 15, 43 have a guide track 46 for linear guidance of the locking element 18 Form end region of the holding arm 17.
- the holding arm 17 or the locking element 18 is via a through the stiffening ribs 15, 43 formed guideway 46 is linearly displaceable parallel to the side wall plane 10 formed by the side wall 6. If a force - according to arrow 35 - is now applied to the holding arm 17 between the first stiffening rib 15 and the second stiffening rib 15, then due to its elastic properties it deforms in the direction of the interior 8 of the transport container 2.
- This design has the advantage that the locking element 1 8 when releasing the lock or when elastic deformation of the holding arm 17 does not protrude beyond the side wall plane 10 and thus an undesirable interlocking of the locking element 18 or the holding arm 17 with adjacent containers can be avoided.
- the locking is achieved in that when a pressure force is applied to the holding arm 17 - according to arrow 35 - in the area between two stiffening ribs 15, the end area of the holding arm 17 having the locking element 18 linearly adjusts in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the holding arm 17 and the distance 25 between the end face 26 and the locking surface 27 is enlarged.
- the holding arm 17 is advantageously designed to be rigid in a plane running parallel to the inner surface 7 of the side wall 6, as a result of which undesired deformation in the direction of the side wall plane 10 of the holding arm 17 can be reliably avoided. It should also be noted here that an overall length 45 and a width 32 of the holding arm 17 is a multiple of a thickness 31 of the holding arm 17.
- the length of a holding arm section 47 is to change or increase in such a way that the locking element 18 is moved by the linear movement into a position releasing the coupling receptacle 13 of the connecting device 12 is moved.
- This is achieved in that an adjustment path 48 of the locking element 18 from the position shown in full lines to the position shown in dashed lines is equal to or greater than a width 49 of the coupling receptacle 13.
- the linear adjustment of the locking element 18 or a section of the holding arm 17 is made possible because the holding arm 17 is designed to be deformable perpendicular to the side wall plane 10 formed by the side wall 6, and an extension of the holding arm section 47 of the holding arm 17 is realized by this deformation and over the mounting of the holding arm 17 in the second stiffening rib 15 and the stiffening rib 43 converts this elastic deformation into a linear adjustment of the locking element 18.
- an extension 51 is arranged on an inner section 50 of the longitudinal side wall 4, an end face 52 of the extension 51 abutting or being slightly distanced from the holding arm 17, and thus the holding arm 17 or the locking element 18 is guided in the vertical direction to the longitudinal extent of the side wall 6.
- 6 shows a further embodiment variant of the connecting device 12 for connecting side walls 6 of the transport container 2 in a top view, wherein here one side wall 6 is referred to as the longitudinal side wall 5 and the further side wall 6 as the longitudinal side wall 4.
- the arrangement of the connecting device 12 or the holding arm 17 can be arranged in any side wall 6, ie in the longitudinal side wall 4 or in the transverse side wall 5.
- the longitudinal side wall 4 has, in an end region 53 facing away from the transverse side wall 5, a projection 54 projecting beyond the inner surface 7 of the longitudinal side wall 4.
- An outer surface 55 of the projection 54 is advantageously in the same plane with the end face 26 of the longitudinal side wall 4, so that a disruptive protrusion of the projection 54 beyond the transverse side wall 5 is avoided.
- the projection 54 is formed in one piece on the longitudinal side wall 4 and has a web 56 which projects in the direction of the interior 8 and which forms the coupling device of the coupling receptacle 13 in this embodiment variant.
- a web 60 for forming the coupling element 14 is now also arranged on an end region 59 of the transverse side wall 5 facing the longitudinal side wall 4, the orientation of this web 60 or the coupling element 14 opposite the web 56 or the coupling receptacle 13, is.
- the design of the coupling element 14, or of the web 60 enables the coupling element 14 to protrude into the receiving chamber 58 and so the transverse side wall 5 and the longitudinal side wall 4 are secured against stresses in the longitudinal directions of the transverse side wall 5 and the longitudinal side wall 4 .
- the coupling receptacle 13 or the coupling element 14 can be designed in any desired form, these forms having to fulfill the purpose or the benefit.
- the elastically deformable holding arm 17, with the locking element 18 integrally molded thereon, is in turn arranged in a recess in the longitudinal side wall 4, the holding arm 17 in turn being integrally formed on a stiffening rib 15 arranged in the longitudinal side wall 4.
- the holding arm 17 extends from this connecting area on the stiffening rib 15 in the direction of the end area 53 Longitudinal side wall 4, the holding arm widening in this longitudinal direction in the direction of the interior 8, so that the locking element 18 projects beyond an inner surface 7 of the long side wall 4.
- This advantageous embodiment prevents the transverse side wall 5 or the coupling element 14 from being released from the projection 54 of the longitudinal side wall 4 or from the coupling receptacle 13, as a result of which the transverse side wall 5 prevents it from collapsing in the direction of the interior 8 of the transport container 2 is secured.
- a small distance 61 is arranged between the inner surface 7 of the transverse side wall 5 and the locking surface 27 of the locking element 18 in order to prevent the locking element 18 or the holding arm 17 from being braced against the transverse side wall 5.
- the locking surface 27 comes to rest on the inner surface 7 of the transverse side wall 5, and exerts a certain pretensioning force on it, as a result of which a secure holding of the transverse side wall and thus a low-noise use of the transport container 2 is achieved.
- the elastically deformable properties of the material of the holding arm 17 is made possible by the elastically deformable properties of the material of the holding arm 17.
- the inner surface 7 of the longitudinal side wall 4 is arranged in one piece, a support web 62, which extends only over a partial region of the thickness of the longitudinal side wall 4.
- Holding arms 17 are brought in the direction of the outer surface 10 of the longitudinal side wall 4 and thus shifted from a blocking position into a release position of the connecting device 12. Due to the deformation of the holding arm 17 between the support web 62 and the stiffening rib 15, a change in length with respect to the support web 62 also occurs in the section of the holding arm 17 facing the end region 53 of the front side wall 4, which also means that a suspension on the transverse side wall 5 or the connecting device 12, acting pretensioning force occurs, or the distance 61 between the locking surface 27 of the locking element 18 and the inner surface 7 of the transverse side wall 5 is increased, whereby a pivoting out of the holding arm 17, or the locking element 18, is made possible in the position shown in broken lines .
- a limiting web 63 it is also possible on the outer surface 10 facing away from the support web 62 to arrange a limiting web 63, and in this way to prevent the entire holding arm 17 from being pivoted out in unintended situations beyond the outer surface 10 of the transverse side wall 4.
- a limiting web 63 it is also possible to connect the holding arm 17 in one piece or in one piece to the support web 62 without the free movement of the locking element 18 being restricted.
- the formation of the limiting web 63 can be dispensed with, since an unavoidable emergence of the holding arm 17 via the outer surface 10 of the longitudinal side wall 4 is prevented.
- the holding arm 17 extends in the direction of the locking element 18 and has an angular profile of the stair 29 in the area of the locking element 18, as a result of which an angular plane, or inclined plane 64, is formed between the locking element 18 and the holding arm 17.
- the particular advantage of this design is that when the connecting device 12 is released, or when the transverse side wall 5 is folded in the direction of the interior, when the transverse side wall 5 is re-erected into its position of use, no force has to be applied to the holding arm 17.
