Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport container according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such transport containers are generally rectangular, ie their bottom portion has a rectangular base and two side wall portions and two end wall portions, which are connected via respective along an edge of the bottom portion extending fold lines with the bottom portion.
  • the recess for connecting the walls is formed by handle openings in the central region of the end walls.
  • all the wall sections which overlap the end sections formed on the bottom section have aligned handle openings.
  • the paperboard material is not completely cut out of the handle opening, but firmly connected to the corresponding paperboard layer in the region of the upper edge of the handle opening.
  • this cardboard material is inserted through all aligned handle openings and folded over.
  • the said transport containers all have the disadvantage that the connecting elements formed by a cardboard section offer only a low resistance to mechanical stress.
  • the plastic elements themselves create no connection, but have in mutually opposite sections aligned holes for receiving a rivet, which ensures the firm connection of the plastic element to the wall.
  • the plastic elements are provided only for reinforcing the cardboard wall, but not for connecting two or more wall elements. Due to the required separate rivets (four each in the two described embodiments of the plastic elements), the plastic elements are made of GB 2 343 883 A quite costly and complicated to handle.
  • the EP 0 842 858 A1 Plastic connector elements are proposed which do not protrude through recesses, but enclose parts of the wall sections. Although this considerably increases the stability of the corner, the connecting elements are quite cumbersome to install.
  • GB 2 277 731 A represents the closest state of the art.
  • resilient locking hooks are integrally formed on both sides of connecting plates made of injection-molded plastic, which engage behind corresponding recesses in the cardboard walls.
  • plastic edge rails are provided which comprise the upper longitudinal edges and transverse edges of the container and have a stepped upper surface with an outer abutment collar.
  • the outer collars of the four edge rails prevent slipping of the stacked containers.
  • connecting elements are usually made of plastic by injection molding, elements of other materials, in particular of cast metal or sheet metal are quite conceivable.
  • a transport container with vertical container walls is known.
  • two plastic connecting clips are attached near the corners, which have two mutually parallel bracket legs with locking projections.
  • the latching projections pass through openings in the transverse wall of the container.
  • the narrow upper end face of the connecting bracket has a rib which is intended to project through an opening in the bottom of a container stacked above.
  • the opening in the bottom of the container considerably weakens it and reduces its tightness against the ingress of dirt and dust.
  • the small footprint of the connecting brackets cause an unsteady state of the stacked containers.
  • the narrow rib offers only little protection against slipping of two stacked containers to each other.
  • the publication FR-A-2 690 135 shows a transport container with a complex connecting element for the transverse walls.
  • This connecting element consists of two mutually parallel wall webs, which each extend U-shaped and engage over the end portions of the longitudinal walls and in each case a transverse wall in the region of the upper edge. Again, the container walls are vertical. Border elevations lying outside the container contour make it possible to place the bottom of a second container on the complex connecting elements and to stack the containers in this way.
  • the complex U-shaped fasteners are very expensive and expensive to manufacture and have a large space requirement, so that they require a large transport volume during transport without the container.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an easy-to-use and cost-effective transport container, which is easy to stack.
  • the connecting elements can be formed from two positively and detachably interconnected parts. These fasteners can be solved as often as desired due to the resistance of the plastic material. This makes it possible to disassemble the transport container, after he has transported a certain product from the manufacturer to the dealer, and unfold into its flat carton blank, without causing the fasteners are damaged. In a connection of the container walls on cardboard sections according to the prior art, this was possible only to a very limited extent.
  • the connecting elements can be opened and closed as often as desired. For return transport from the dealer to the manufacturer of the transport container can be unfolded and several carton blanks are transported one above the other to save space.
  • the plastic connecting element according to the invention makes it possible to considerably increase the stackability of the transport container.
  • the connecting elements are designed such that they protrude by a certain amount from the wall to which they are fixed into the interior of the container and thus form a projecting into the container supporting surface on which another transport container can be placed.
  • the recesses projected through the connection elements must be arranged near the upper edge of the respective container wall.
  • the contour encompassed by the inside of the container walls in the region of the upper edge of the container substantially corresponds to the outer contour of the container in the region of the bottom, so that the container bottom can be readily inserted up to the wings in the upper portion of another container.
  • their walls In order for the transport containers to be stacked without undue effort, it is advantageous if their walls have a slightly trapezoidal course, i. sloping from the bottom to the top.
  • the wings of all fasteners lie in erected container walls essentially in a horizontal plane running parallel to the floor surface, so that a container floor placed on the wings rests on the bearing surfaces of all four connecting elements.
  • the wings of the plastic fasteners have a significantly increased strength compared to the upper edge of the container wall itself.
  • the connecting element In contrast to the subject matter of the above-mentioned GB 2 277 731 A is ensured only by the connecting element both the stable connection of the wall sections of the container and the good stackability.
  • the connecting element itself forms the bearing surface for a second container stacked on the container. As the wings protrude into the container, the edge of the container wall above the connector encloses the bottom of the stacked container and prevents slippage.
  • the connecting element stops or Arret ists stresses. There are thus no additional elements such as skirting required to form a wing and to fix the stacked container.
  • the connecting element can be fixed in any way to the wall of the container.
  • it may consist of two mutually movable parts, one of which is first inserted through the recess in the container wall and engages behind the edge of the opening after the displacement with respect to the first part.
  • a connecting element also consist of two parts, which are connected either detachably or non-detachably by insertion into one another.
  • the two parts may be formed as complementary threaded elements or form a kind of bayonet closure.
  • the connecting elements may be provided a positive locking between the two parts of the connecting elements.
  • the parts can also be glued or welded together.
  • the transport container according to the invention is preferably rectangular with two side walls and two end walls.
  • the wings In order to provide sufficient support for a container bottom resting on the wings, it is recommended that the wings have an extension of at least 10 mm in the direction at right angles to the wall to which the respective connecting element is fastened.
  • a also known transport container and the transport container according to the invention preferably in the end wall region a plurality of mutually overlapping wall sections, which each have mutually aligned recesses for receiving a connecting element.
  • two wall sections which in each case overhang an end wall in an upright position.
  • an inner wall section can be arranged at the free end of the end wall, which can be folded over to the end wall by 180 °.
  • the end wall thus consists of four cardboard layers, namely on the one hand formed on the bottom wall portion wall itself, the integrally formed on the first side wall wall portion, integrally formed on the second side wall wall portion and integrally formed on the free end of the end wall inner wall portion.
  • the cardboard material in the region of the handle opening, which is formed by aligned openings in all said wall sections very thick. As a result, the risk of injury to a person carrying the container is considerably reduced.
  • a narrow web portion is arranged between the end wall and the inner wall portion, wherein on both sides of the web portion two fold lines parallel to each other, one of which connects the web portion with the end wall and the other the web portion with the inner wall portion.
  • the inner wall section is - folded inwardly by 180 °, starting from the end wall, wherein each of the two fold lines delimiting the web section is bent by 90 ° in each case.
  • the web section thus lies on the edges of the two wall sections formed on the side walls on. In this way, the various cardboard layers of the end wall are covered by the web section.
  • the bridge section is also excellent for receiving stickers with labels or bar codes to identify the goods contained in the transport container.
  • connection element made of plastic.
  • this connection element may be inserted an electronic circuit with data memory, the memory contents can be read out either by connecting a connecting cable to electrically conductive contacts or preferably contactless and overwritten.
  • memory chips are also known by the term transponder for contactless data exchange. They have a non-volatile memory and a dipole antenna. This dipole antenna transmits both the necessary operating energy and digital signals and data on the transponder. Upon receipt of a particular digital control command, the transponder sends its memory content to an external receiving device. Another command overwrites the memory contents with new data. Since the connecting elements are reusable over a very long period of time, a transponder can readily be inserted at least into a connecting element of each transport container, which allows the marking of the container by storing certain data and identification by reading out these data.
  • a handle opening is preferably provided in the middle of each end wall.
  • the handle opening can be used to close the transport container when its upper edge is up to a few millimeters higher when erected container walls than the support surface of the arranged on both sides of the handle opening fasteners.
  • the transport container can be closed with a flat cardboard cover whose contour is essentially the Inner circumference of the transport container at the level of the upper edge of the two opposite handle openings corresponds.
  • the lid projections are provided which protrude into the handle openings. The lid edge itself lies in the lateral areas of the end edges on the bearing surfaces of the connecting elements.
  • the transport container according to the invention can be stacked without a lid, since the wings are formed for a stacked transport container from the connecting elements of the lower transport container.
  • the connecting elements can be realized in various ways. Preferably, a part of the connecting element on a cardboard material on one side of the recess engaging behind the head portion.
  • the second part can, as already mentioned, be detachably connected to the first part.
  • elastically deformable hook or locking elements are suitable.
  • a connection in the manner of a bayonet lock is conceivable.
  • the second connecting element can be fixed inseparably but rotatably on the connecting element with head section.
  • To connect the container walls of the rotatable part without a head portion is inserted through the recess and then rotated so that it engages behind the cardboard material on the opposite side of the head portion of the recess.
  • a connecting plate can be arranged between these parts.
  • This is preferably made of plastic and can be folded down along two mutually parallel film hinges, so that the two adjacent to the parts of the connecting elements areas of the connecting plate from the recess upwards to the upper edge of the container wall and the web between the two film hinges the upper edge the container wall covers.
  • the said connection plate forms a further receiving surface for stickers or advertising prints.
  • the part of the connecting element without head section is also possible to form the part of the connecting element without head section to the part with head section in a direction parallel to the plane of the container wall, preferably vertically displaceable.
  • the two parts are shifted to each other so that their contours are substantially aligned.
  • both parts are inserted through the recess in the container wall, whose cross-section substantially corresponds to the contour of the two parts in front view.
  • the second part engages behind a portion of the container wall and locks the various overlapping wall sections of the container wall against each other.
  • the second part of the connecting element may be formed as a pivotable part, wherein this part is inserted in a first pivot position through the recess in the overlapping wall sections and then pivoted into a second pivot position, in which it engages behind the edge regions of the recess and in the the pivoting part locked with the other part of the connecting element.
  • the wings of the connecting elements and the bottom of the transport container may have additional fixing elements which fix the position of a set up on the wings transport container. This is particularly necessary if the edge portion of the peripheral container wall above the wings is not high enough or interrupted and for this reason does not provide sufficient support for the stacked container.
  • the fixing elements at the bottom of the transport container can be formed in the simplest case by holes in each corner of the floor.
  • the hereby cooperating fixing elements on the wings of the connecting elements may consist of thorn-like projections approximately in the middle of each wing. When stacking the pin-like projections engage in the holes in the corners of the container bottom.
  • the said fixing elements are particularly advantageous if the height of at least one side wall of the transport container is less than the height of the end walls. This is advantageous, for example, if the in this goods are placed together with the container in a store shelf, ie when the goods are to be sold directly from the transport container out. Through the gap between the bottom of a stacked on the wings container and the lower edge of the side wall, a customer can see on the shelf, with which goods the transport container is filled. At least one side wall section may for this purpose have an additional fold line. After folding along this fold line by 180 °, this fold line forms the upper edge of the side wall.
  • At least one protruding tab can be formed on the free edge of the side wall, which can be inserted into a slot in the container bottom in order to fold the folded section of the side wall parallel to the fold after folding along the additional fold line to fix on the floor adjacent section of the side wall.
  • At least some of the wall sections can be glued together.
  • a pressure-sensitive adhesive when setting up the carton blank ensure that the wall sections remain in their predetermined position to each other and the connecting elements can be easily inserted through the mutually aligned recesses.
  • an adhesive can enhance the structural strength of the container.
