Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container made of plastic, in particular storage and Transport box, which is ribbed on the bottom surface of its bottom, which on the one hand form a soil center field and on the other hand run all the way along of the bottom edge extending flat webs forming an outer rim wear.
  • a container or box has become known from DE 43 38 063 A1 a flat surface on the underside by flat webs as Runner spaced by stiffening ribs running across the bottom edge are supported below the floor level, is formed.
  • the the flat webs supporting stiffening ribs are here without connection to the longitudinal and transverse stiffening ribs of the floor central field.
  • the in the edge area frame-like circumferential flat webs, so that the container in Edge area is provided with a quasi double floor, put one on roller tracks or the like well-functioning skirting board.
  • Such a tread provided by flat webs is also from the DE 39 09 022 C2 known.
  • This version with only one-sided opening of the tread and in cross section This enables C-shaped pockets due to the hollow chamber or sandwich construction a composite that gives the container a high torsional rigidity there and also occur when loaded with heavy industrial goods Resists deflection without any major influence on the tread.
  • a major disadvantage, however, is that in particular in the corners the bags accumulate dirt and insufficient cleaning water can drain off.
  • the invention has for its object a generic, in one piece Plastic to create containers made by injection molding, which is both a has particularly high stability as well as on any type of roller or roller conveyor has excellent running properties and also a large one Offers protection against dirt and is easy and effective to clean is.
  • This object is achieved in that the vertical spaces between the tread flat webs and the bottom surface of the floor at the inner and / or outer front flat web edges with plate elements are closed.
  • the tread can thus be easily completely closed Hollow chamber profile, which is also available from the already existing the flat webs on the bottom of the container cross ribs another Support is provided with a correspondingly increased stiffness and stability. This is irrespective of whether a container with initially tunnel-like passages or one-sided open pockets with the plate elements closed on the side becomes. Furthermore, is achieved by the completely closed tread that there are no more dirty corners and no bacteria can penetrate, so that such a container also meets hygiene requirements, for example in the food industry justice.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the plate elements as swivel flaps are molded onto the flat web edge.
  • the plate elements can be injection molded in one go with the container production and then all you need is the quasi-existing film hinge pivoted into its position closing the side of the tread to become.
  • external or separate plate elements can also be used provide and insert into the vertical clearances with locking brackets. It understands themselves that such a locking bracket on the film hinge distal end can be provided with pivotable plate elements.
  • the plate elements welded to the tread flat webs and / or the floor.
  • a rivet attachment or an exclusive locking The welding process ensures that the hollow chamber tread is leakproof reached.
  • the goal of high tightness when welding the panel elements to all sides Closing the rim is preferably further supported by that the bottom of the plate element on its inner surface with a contact edge overlapped upwards. It can be used to define a welded joint achieve favorable stop positioning.
  • the tread flat webs be designed with a slope are provided in a radius on the inner rim side End wall merges.
  • the cover can be in the area lower the midfield. This bombing in the middle of the raised floor the tread appears more clearly.
  • the invention When the container is designed with a raised floor, the invention is used suggested that starting from the inner floor surface to the outer surface of the cover bottom are formed with continuously closed water drainage channels are.
  • the cleaning and getting into the container in case of fire Extinguishing water that is sprayed on from above and otherwise only when completely filled of the container with water by overflowing from top to bottom could flow smoothly and directly. Dirt corners that are almost unclean are no longer available and the proportion of drag water becomes clear reduced.
  • the water drainage canals are particularly cheap in the intersection area the cross ribs with the longitudinal rib.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that the floor uprights compared to the Lowered tread flats and connected to them via a slope are.
  • the lowering or crowning gives a certain degree of freedom, if if the container is very heavily loaded in the middle, it will bend a little should.
  • the slope in the transition area from the floor uprights to The tread in turn serves to improve the start-up behavior of the container.
  • FIGS. 1, 9 and 13 On its bottom underside Longitudinal and several transverse ribs 6 and 7, which define a floor center panel 8. This is bordered like a frame by flat webs 9a and 9b, respectively via connecting ribs 10 to the lower surface 11 (see e.g. FIG. 2) of the base 5 are connected.
  • Laukranz flat webs 9a, 9b are on the inside facing the container means Front edge 12 through a from there to the lower surface 11 of the bottom 5 extending vertical rib or end wall 13 in cooperation with two adjacent connecting ribs 10, the bottom 5 and the flat webs 9a and 9b in a sandwich-like hollow chamber construction, initially on one side pockets 14 open to the outside (cf. e.g. FIGS. 2 to 8) are carried.
  • the vertical space 15 between the bottom 5 or its lower surface 11 and the flat webs 9a, 9b on their outer end edges 16 by plate elements 17 closed which is injected immediately during the manufacture of the container and then from their horizontal orientation shown in Fig. 1 around the film hinge formed on the outer end edge 16 only still need to be pivoted into the vertical space 15, such as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the plate elements can be in this closed position 17 preferably weld tightly to the bottom of the container.
  • the panel elements 17 is the bottom 5 according to FIG. 4 with a plate element 17 on its inner surface upwardly overlapping contact edge 19 is formed. If there, i.e. in the region of the contact edge 19 there is also a depression 20 shown in FIG. 5 is provided, a melt pocket can be realized in the melted Material can run.
  • 6 to 8 are various designs of the transition from the Flat webs 9a, 9b to the plate elements completely closing the running ring or the inner rib or end wall 13 shown, the start and Improve the running behavior of the container 1 on a roller or roller conveyor.
  • These measures consist of a starting radius 21 (see FIG. 6), a starting slope 22 (see FIG. 7) or a combination of a run-up slope 22 and a starting radius 21, as in FIG. 9, as an example for the inner tread side shown, is trained.
  • the container 100 according to FIGS. 9 to 12 has a full-surface double floor on, i.e.
  • the flat webs 9a, 9b of the running ring are in one piece with the floor central field 8 covering bottom 23 formed.
  • it is completely closed System again achieved in that at the outer end edges 16th molded plate elements 17 after swiveling with the inner bottom 5 are welded.
  • the cover 23 is according to FIG. 4 by a crown 24 somewhat lowered compared to the running ring 9a, 9b and also by a centrally arranged longitudinal rib 25 is additionally supported, in this case the end walls 13, which otherwise limit the pockets 14 inwards, are eliminated can.
  • the container 100 is with water drainage channels 26 provided, starting from the top 4 of the inner bottom 5 to are continuously circumferentially closed to the outer surface of the cover base 23.
  • FIGS. 13 to 15 Another construction of a plastic container 200 is shown in FIGS. 13 to 15 shown.
  • the floor pillars 27 are in the area of the central floor panel 8 opposite the tread flat webs 9a, 9b lowered and go with a slope 28 in the crown 24 about. 14, the floor uprights 27 are divided by a rib 29, i.e. they are not always open in this design variant.
