Definitions

  • the invention relates to a box-shaped container made of plastic, in particular Storage and transport box, in which a floor under training at least of an outer, circumferential running ring stabilized on the underside with stiffening ribs is.
  • DE 37 09 190 C2 is a container or box, the bottom of which has a flat top is stabilized on the underside by stiffening ribs.
  • the stiffening frame thus present are also transverse for its longitudinal webs insertion or push-through channels under the floor molded into which a stiffening profile can be inserted if necessary. This means that with high loads, especially heavy central loads, the associated floor deflection was kept relatively low.
  • a disadvantage of this container is its runnability, since the tread of the container from the individual transverse and longitudinal webs of the ribbing becomes. This is what happens when the container is used in the area of roller and roller conveyors and especially on ball transfer tables due to malfunctions lack of cornering and increased deflectability of the individual containers, whereby the operating sequence in automatically controlled loading and Extraction systems are often significantly affected.
  • the invention has for its object a container of the aforementioned To create a type that not only ensures high ground rigidity under loads, but at the same time also enables safe runnability while doing so injection molding is still easy to manufacture.
  • the bendable or bendable connection of the strip elements enables that Make them directly with the container or have them injection molded because they are flexible the connection is the prerequisite for optimizing demolding Alignment of the position of the strip elements in the tool allowed. After demolding the strip elements then only need to be in their operating position to be bent or pivoted. The cost of manufacturing as well the effort for an otherwise separate tread to be provided is thus eliminated path. Locking, in particular welding the strip elements to the Stiffening ribs, then leads to a hygienically tight and smooth construction or underbody construction that is easy to clean and for use with high content loads easily with any multiple ribbing, e.g.
  • the invention provides a container with a double-walled container body before that this is provided with a two-part strip element, wherein one part element with a first connection tab / film hinge - continuous or web-like - is attached to the respective outer wall and at its end distant from the wall via a second continuous or bridge-like trained connection tab / film hinge connected to the other sub-element is.
  • This strip element can be horizontal and therefore easy Create demoldable alignment in the tool and after demolding by first turning around the first and then the second connection to the Bring the top layer.
  • the first sub-element bridges the distance from the Outer wall for ribbing the floor or the outermost rib there; it will then removed by cutting so that only the second, the tread defining sub-element remains under the ribbing.
  • Another proposal is for a double-walled container a strip element on its outer wall via a connecting tab / film hinge provided that has an angle section on the hinge side, the after turning around the hinge in the cover layer vertical angled web a recess in the complementary, in situ adjacent container wall assigned.
  • the last element is vertical, injection-molded also easily demouldable orientation. After demolding and bending over the hinge that is only present here, the angled section is placed under the floor, being in this position vertical angular web in the Immersed recess and flush with the adjacent wall or floor rib creates. The angular section need not be cut off from the cover part become. Due to the vertical alignment of the last element during injection molding the closing force of the tool is reduced.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that the strip elements on their free ends removed from the swivel axis with in situ in the tread area engaging locking means are provided.
  • These locking means e.g. Cones with nose-like Ends can be easily made with those in the tread area Arrest arranged stiffening ribs, the strip elements only folded over their molded film hinges and clipped on the engagement side need to be.
  • the Film hinges on the side of the container facing the outer walls of the container Tread area are arranged.
  • the last elements are made their initial position, which extends the container beyond its external dimensions pivoted inwards over the tread area and with their locking means the stiffening ribs of the tread area facing the center of the floor locked.
  • the invention provides that the film hinges on the outer walls side of the tread area facing away from the container.
  • the strip elements overlap in their initial or non-operational position on the underside of the bottom of the container. You will then be from the soil midfield from to the outer walls of the container in its closed position, to Cover of the tread area, swung in. The last elements are thereby via their locking means on the outer walls of the container Bracing ribs of the tread area locked.
  • Another embodiment of the invention provides that one on the bottom of the container body One-piece or multi-piece attached via film hinges or the like Cover plate closes the entire ribbed floor area, there the bottom ribs are locked, preferably welded. It is therefore a complete closed bottom, i.e. the standing or running surface and the floor center field before, so that in this case the entire floor area is double-walled is. This leads to improved running ability and floor deflection counteracted with high loads.
  • too Hinged film hinges directly during the injection molding of the container body namely advantageous for easier pivoting on the transverse or longitudinal walls side of the tread area facing the container.
  • the cover plate is also on the bottom area definable locking means trained.
  • the locking means can arranged both in the middle area and in the edge area of the cover plate his.
  • Snap-in hooks and clips are used as locking means or locking hooks provided when swiveling the cover plate to the bottom underside towards complementary recesses in the area of the stiffening ribs intervene in the center of the floor or the tread area.
  • a well-known storage and transport box 1 which is essentially one rectangular design with a base, two of which protrude at right angles Longitudinal walls and two also protruding at right angles Has transverse walls, in the figures is essentially only its floor design shown.
  • a flat top 2 inside in the exemplary embodiment having container bottom 3 instructs according to FIG its bottom underside transverse and longitudinal stiffening ribs 4 and 5 respectively.
  • the stiffening ribs 4 and 5 define a floor central field 6 and one surrounding it delimiting tread ring 7 (cf. FIGS. 2 to 4).
  • This is in concrete exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 2 to 4 with respect to the floor center field 6 increases, resulting in an outer, frame-like standing or running area results.
  • the transverse and longitudinal stiffening ribs 4 and 5 of the running ring 7 can be used to improve the runnability of the container 1 by strip elements 8 to 11, which are attached to the tread ring 7 by means of film hinges 12 are injected.
  • the strip elements have 8 to 11 locking means, which as nose-like Locking pin 13 are formed and one opposite each other through the Film hinges 12 resulting pivot axis 14 at the free end of the strip elements 8 to 11 are arranged.
  • the embodiment according to Figure 2 provides that the film hinges 12 on the outside of the tread 7 are arranged.
  • the strip elements 8 to 11 by folding (Arrow direction 15) from their open position into the dashed line Closed position pivoted, the nose-like locking pin 13 into an opening 16th a longitudinal stiffening rib 5 of the running ring 7 engages.
  • the film hinges 12 are inside on the tread 7 on a longitudinal stiffening rib 5 of the tread area arranged.
  • the strip elements 8 to 11 are thus from the floor middle field 6 facing opening position in the closed position shown in dashed lines Outside of the container 1 pivoted over the tread area 7 (arrow direction 17) until the nose-like locking pin (13) into an opening 18 of the outer edge 19 of the tread 7 facing longitudinal stiffening rib 5. engages
  • the bottom dimensions can essentially be used corresponding cover plate 20 both the tread 7 and that Close the bottom center panel 6 towards the bottom so that it covers the entire surface is present.
  • the cover plate 20 is attached by means of a film hinge 21 to the cross or longitudinal walls of the container 1 facing the outer edge 19 of the tread 7 attached.
  • cover plate 20 On the cover plate 20 are removed from that formed by the film hinges 21 Swivel axis 22 locking means 23, for example nose-like Locking pin, arranged.
  • the cover plate 20 is used to close the whole Floor area 6,7 from its opening position shown in dashed lines in the Closed position covering floor area pivoted (direction of arrow 24).
  • the locking means 23 then engage in complementary openings 25, 26 any in the longitudinal stiffening ribs 5 of the tread 7 and / or in Longitudinal stiffening ribs 5 of the floor center panel 6 are formed.
