Abstract

The collapsible container comprises a lid (8), a baseplate (1) on blocks (2) and runners (3), and side sections (4-7) connected to the bottom plate by rectangular clamps (9). The clamps locate in second slots which on one side (11,15,16) are cut in the support blocks (2) in the region of the load bearing surface of the baseplate or lower down in the block itself, and on the other side (10) are cut in the upper side of the lid at a distance from the lid edge coinciding with the length of the clamp leg (9a). The clamps lie upon the lid edge by the angle section (13) where the two legs abut.

Description

Die vorliegende Neuerung betrifft einen Behälter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Solche Behälter sind beispielsweise weltweit zum Transport von Automobilteilen zwischen verschiedenen Herstellungsstätten und dergleichen im Einsatz. Dabei handelt es sich meist um Behälter, deren Bodenplatte als Palette ausgebildet ist, die Seitenwände sind aus Sperrholz, und Seitenwände, Boden und Deckel werden durch Stahlklammern miteinander verbunden. Bei einer quaderförmigen Kiste sind zu deren Aufbau und Verschluß pro Kante in der Regel mindestens zwei Klammern erforderlich. Das heißt, es werden dann mindestens 24 Klammern benötigt, die zum vollständigen Zerlegen einer Kiste neben den aufeinandergestapelten Boden-, Seiten- und Deckelteilen zum Ursprungsort zurückgeschickt werden.The present innovation relates to a container according to the preamble of the claim 1. Such containers are for example worldwide for the transport of automotive parts between different manufacturing sites and the like in use. These are mostly containers, the base plate of which is designed as a pallet is, the side walls are made of plywood, and side walls, bottom and lid are connected by steel clips. With a rectangular box are generally at least two for their structure and closure per edge Brackets required. This means that at least 24 brackets are required those for completely dismantling a box next to the stacked one Bottom, side and lid parts are sent back to the place of origin.

Es sind zerlegbare Behälter bekannt, bei denen die Klammern beim Rücktransport der Behälter im zusammengeklappten Zustand an dem Stapel, bestehend aus dem Deckel, den Seitenwänden und dem Boden seitlich befestigt werden. Zu diesem Zweck sind zwischen den Klötzen des palettenartig ausgebildeten Bodens auf der Bodenunterseite im Abstand einer Schenkellänge der rechtwinkligen Klammern Nuten eingefräst. Die zwei Stirnwände sowie die zwei Seitenwände und der Deckel werden auf dem Boden übereinandergestapelt. Der Deckel wird hierzu mit der Innenseite nach oben aufgelegt, damit die Klammer in die umlaufende Falzfräsung eingreifen kann. Dadurch liegen die Klammerenden frei. Die Klammerenden sind an ihrer Stirnseite nach außen umgebogen, um deren Einfügen in die Nuten sowohl beim Aufbau des Behälters als auch beim Verklammern des Plattenstapels beim zerlegten Behälter zu erleichtern. Dies hat zur Folge, daß dieser umgebogene Bereich bei der am Plattenstapel befestigten Klammer nach oben über die Deckoberfläche überstehen kann. Beim Übereinanderstapeln garniturenweise gepackter Behälter besteht somit die Gefahr, dass die freiliegenden, überstehenden Klammerenden nach außen weggedrückt werden und sich somit lösen und abspringen können. Dies ist ebenfalls beim Verrutschen durch Transport- und Lagervorgänge möglich. Außerdem funktioniert diese Variante der garniturenweisen Verklammerung des Behälters nur, falls alle sechs Plattenschichten übereinander zu liegen kommen und alle Platten eine ganz spezifische, einheitliche Dicke haben.Detachable containers are known in which the clamps are transported back the container in the folded state on the stack consisting of the Lid, the side walls and the bottom are attached laterally. To this Purpose are between the blocks of the pallet-like bottom on the Bottom of the floor at a distance of one leg length of the right-angled brackets Milled grooves. The two end walls as well as the two side walls and the lid are stacked on the floor. The lid comes with the inside placed upwards so that the clip fits into the all-round rebate can intervene. This will expose the clip ends. The clip ends are on its end face is bent outwards so that it can be inserted into the grooves when assembling the container and when stapling the stack of plates when to facilitate disassembled container. As a result, this bent area with the clamp attached to the stack of plates above the top surface can survive. When stacking sets of containers packed with one another there is therefore a risk that the exposed, protruding clip ends are pushed outwards and can thus come loose and jump off. This is also possible when slipping through transport and storage processes. In addition, this variant of the fitting-by-parenthesization of the Container only if all six plate layers come to lie on top of each other and all panels have a very specific, uniform thickness.

Der vorliegenden Neuerung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgemäßen Behälter so zu verbessern, daß ein Abspringen der Klammern bei der Handhabung der zerlegten Behälter vermieden wird.The present innovation is based on the task, a generic To improve the container so that the clips come off when handling the disassembled container is avoided.

Diese Aufgabe wird anspruchsgemäß gelöst.This task is solved according to the requirements.

In den Unteransprüchen sind bevorzugte Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Behälters gekennzeichnet.Preferred embodiments of the invention are in the subclaims Marked container.

Im folgenden wird die Neuerung anhand der Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegenden Figuren näher erläutert.

  • Figur 1 zeigt einen senkrechten Teilschnitt durch den erfindungsgemäßen Behälter im Bereich der Befestigung der Klammern, und
  • Figur 2 zeigt eine Aufsicht auf den Bereich der Befestigung der Klammern, wobei die beiden Stirnwände des Behälters nebeneinander zu liegen kommen.
    • The innovation is explained in more detail below on the basis of the description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the accompanying figures.
  • Figure 1 shows a vertical partial section through the container according to the invention in the region of the fastening of the clips, and
  • Figure 2 shows a top view of the area of the fastening of the clamps, the two end walls of the container coming to lie side by side.

    • Wie in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellt, sind an einer Bodenplatte 1 Klötze 2 befestigt, die an ihrer Unterseite mit Kufen 3 miteinander verbunden sind. Dieser palettenartige Aufbau der Behälterböden erlaubt deren Handhabung mit einem Gabelstapler. Bei dem zerlegten Behälter liegen auf der Bodenplatte 1 die Seitenwände 4 bis 7, wobei die Seitenwände 6 und 7 und die Stirnwände 4 und 5 unterschiedliche Abmessungen haben können. Oben auf dem Stapel liegt der Deckel 8. In dessen oberer Seite ist eine Nut 10 eingefräst, in einem Abstand von der Deckelseitenkante 14, die der Länge des Schenkels 9a der Klammer 9 entspricht. Eine zweite Nut 11 ist in dem Bereich, in dem die Bodenplatte 1 auf dem Klotz 2 aufliegt eingefräst. Dieser Ort ist so gewählt, daß die Klammern 9 mit ihrem anderen Befestigungsende dort eingreift, d.h. der Abstand der oberen Seitenwand der Nut 11 von der oberen Seitenkante des Deckels 8 entspricht der Länge des Schenkels 9b der Klammer 9.As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, blocks 2 are attached to a base plate 1, which are connected to each other on their underside with runners 3. This pallet-like The construction of the container bottoms allows them to be handled with a forklift. In the disassembled container, the side walls 4 lie on the base plate 1 to 7, the side walls 6 and 7 and the end walls 4 and 5 different Can have dimensions. The lid 8 is on top of the stack A groove 10 is milled into the upper side, at a distance from the edge of the cover side 14, which corresponds to the length of the leg 9a of the clip 9. A second groove 11 is milled in the area in which the base plate 1 rests on the block 2. This location is chosen so that the brackets 9 with their other fastening end intervenes there, i.e. the distance of the upper side wall of the groove 11 from the upper The side edge of the cover 8 corresponds to the length of the leg 9b of the clip 9.

    Weiterhin ist es möglich, daß nicht alle Seitenteile 4, 5, 6, 7 unterhalb der Deckplatte 8 und auf der Bodenplatte 1 übereinander zu liegen kommen. Dies ist der Fall, wenn die Behältergröße derart ist, daß beispielsweise zwei Seitenwände nebeneinander gelegt werden können. Dies reduziert die Stapelhöhe, da die Schichtanzahl der Seitenwände um eine verringert wird. Somit ist es nicht erforderlich, die Nut 11 im Bereich der Auflagefläche des Bodens auf den Klötzen anzuordnen, sondern im Klotz 2 selber. Können zwei der vier Seitenwände nebeneinander positioniert werden, muß die Nut 11 um eine Plattenhöhe weiter unten eingefräst werden, wodurch sich die Nut 15 ergibt. Wenn es möglich ist, daß neben den beiden Seitenwänden 6, 7 auch die beiden Stirnwände 4, 5 ebenfalls nebeneinander zu liegen kommen, reduziert sich die Stapelhöhe um zwei Plattenhöhen, so daß die Nut um zwei Plattenhöhen nach unten gesetzt werden muß, wie es in der Nut 16 gezeigt ist. Außerdem wäre es möglich, dass Platten unterschiedlicher Dicken verwendet werden. In diesem Fall richtet sich die Positionierung der Nutfräsung im Klotz 2 nach der Geamtdicke des Plattenstapels einer Behälter-Garnitur. Somit ergibt sich gegenüber der bisherigen Lösung eine größere Variabilität und Stabilität.Furthermore, it is possible that not all side parts 4, 5, 6, 7 below the cover plate 8 and come to rest on the bottom plate 1. This is the case if the container size is such that, for example, two side walls side by side can be placed. This reduces the stack height because of the number of layers the side walls is reduced by one. It is therefore not necessary to use the groove 11 to be arranged in the area of the bearing surface of the floor on the blocks, but in Block 2 itself. If two of the four side walls can be positioned side by side, the groove 11 must be milled down one plate height, whereby the groove 15 results. If it is possible that next to the two side walls 6, 7, the two end walls 4, 5 also come to lie side by side, reduced the stack height by two plate heights so that the groove by two plate heights must be set down, as shown in the groove 16. Moreover it would be possible to use plates of different thicknesses. In this In this case, the positioning of the groove in block 2 depends on the overall thickness of the plate stack of a container set. Thus, compared to the previous solution greater variability and stability.

    Bei dieser Befestigungsart der Klammer 9 sind die Stirnkanten der Befestigungsbereiche der Klammern an beiden Enden tief in die Nuten 10, 11 bzw. 15, 16 versenkt. An der Deckeloberseite 12 liegt lediglich der Schenkel 9a auf, und die Kante 13 des Winkels 9 umschließt bündig die obere Seitenkante 14 des Deckels 8. Bei dieser glatten Oberfläche der Klammeranordnung sind Verhakungen der Klammer mit auf die Deckeloberseite 12 geschobene Teile, wie z.B. den Kufen des darauf gestapelten zerlegten Behälters unmöglich. Ein Abspringen der Klammern tritt somit ebenfalls nicht ein. With this type of fastening of the bracket 9, the front edges of the fastening areas of the clamps at both ends deep into the grooves 10, 11 and 15, 16, respectively. Only the leg 9a rests on the top side 12 of the lid, and the edge 13 of the Angle 9 is flush with the upper side edge 14 of the lid 8. In this smooth surface of the clip assembly are hooked onto the clip the top of the lid 12 pushed parts, e.g. the runners of the stacked on it disassembled container impossible. The brackets also come off not a.

    Je nach Behältergröße weist der Boden des Behälters mindestens vier Klötze auf. In der Regel werden pro Behälterkante zwei Klammern 9 benötigt, so daß die insgesamt für den Behälter vorgesehene Klammeranzahl beim Rücktransport auf die oben beschriebene Art untergebracht werden kann.Depending on the size of the container, the bottom of the container has at least four blocks. In usually two brackets 9 are required per container edge, so that the total number of clips intended for the container when returning to the above described type can be accommodated.

    Die neuartige Anordnung bzw. Unterbringung der Klammern am zerlegten Behälter stellt einen großen Fortschritt in bezug auf die herkömmliche Unterbringungsart dar, da das Risiko, Klammern bei der Handhabung der zerlegten Behälter auch beim Transport zu verlieren, ausgeschaltet wurde.The new arrangement and placement of the clips on the disassembled container represents a major advance in the traditional type of accommodation, since the risk of staples when handling the disassembled container also when Losing transportation was turned off.

    Die Neuerung beschränkt sich nicht auf das oben erläuterte Ausführungsbeispiel, sondern umfaßt alle durch die Ansprüche gedeckten Varianten.The innovation is not limited to the exemplary embodiment explained above, but includes all variants covered by the claims.
