Definitions

• the present invention relates to a container for pourable objects and in particular to an insert which can be used in connection with such a container.
• So-called lattice boxes are often used for the storage and transport of objects, such as semi-finished or individual parts used in industrial production. These are stable, stackable, reusable containers that have side walls made of a coarse-mesh, stiff wire mesh in a frame made of metal profiles. Objects to be transported or stored can be stacked in such a lattice box; compact, sufficiently large objects can also simply be poured into them.
• the object of the invention is to provide a container for pourable objects or an insert for such a container, which are suitable for holding small objects, effectively protecting them from dirt during storage and transport and a simple individual removal of the objects up to complete emptying allow the container.
• Such an insert expediently comprises two longitudinal and two transverse side parts.
• the transverse side parts are preferably foldable in itself, so that the insert can still be folded in the container.
• the transverse side parts preferably comprise two foldable halves of the same size.
• the insert can also comprise a base part, which is foldably connected to one of the side parts and supports the objects contained in the insert, possibly covered by a sack, from below.
• the use may already be sufficient to prevent small objects from falling out of the mesh box through the openings in the mesh.
• the sack can be reduced to a simple tarpaulin that covers the objects to protect them from dust.
• the side part which is connected to the bottom part, is preferably the same on which the cover is also held.
• the base part also preferably comprises at least two foldably connected elements.
• This gripping element is preferably attached in the vicinity of the connection between the two foldably connected elements or on that of the two elements which is not connected to a side part.
• At least one side part is preferably provided with a cutout which, when the insert is folded, comes to coincide with the gripping element. This makes it possible to grasp the gripping element of the base part and the side part at the same time and thus prevent the insert from unfolding when the insert is lifted out of the container.
• the transverse side parts each comprise a strip-shaped element which adjoins the side part connected to the base part and whose width corresponds to twice the thickness of the base part.
• This strip-shaped element makes it possible to first fold up the bottom part and then fold the transverse side parts towards the bottom part and in this way form a compact body that can be easily removed from the container.
• the base part can be folded around the folded side parts.
• the envelope is preferably resealable. If it is designed as a sack, this can in particular have a drawstring for reclosing. In this way, the protective effect against contamination can be retained, even if objects have already been removed from the container.
• means are also preferably provided for temporarily securing the cover to at least one second side part.
• Figure 1 is a perspective view of an insert according to the invention in the filled state
• Figure 2 is a view of the foldable frame of the insert of Figure 1 in an unfolded position
• Figures 3 and 4 are views of the frame of Figure 2 in two stages of folding
• Figure 5 is a perspective view of the foldable frame according to a second embodiment
• Figures 6 and 7 are views of the frame of Figure 5 in two stages of folding.
• Fig. 8 shows a third embodiment of the foldable frame.
• Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the insert according to a first embodiment of the invention.
• the insert is constructed from a foldable frame 1, e.g. made of corrugated cardboard, each with two longitudinal side parts 2, 3 and transverse side parts 4, 5.
• the side parts 2 to 5 are each foldably connected to one another in the corners.
• the edge lengths of the frame 1 are adapted to the inside dimensions of a mesh box.
• the height of the side parts is chosen so that they reach just below the L-profiles running around under the upper edge of the lattice box, which ensure that the lattice boxes can be stacked.
• the side parts 2, 3, 4, 5 can, as shown here, all have the same height and be connected over their entire height at their adjoining edges.
• the edges of the longitudinal side part 3 can be cut free from above to the level of a dashed line 6, and an embossing can be formed along the line 6, so that the region 7 of the longitudinal side part 3 can easily be folded down above line 6 in order to be able to access the contents of the insert even if there is another lattice box stacked over it.
• the area 7 can alternatively be simply omitted.
• a bag 8 filled with objects to be stored is held on the side part 2.
• This can be a permanent bracket, e.g. act an adhesive, but it is also conceivable to produce the holder only when the sack 8 is opened to remove parts from it.
• means for temporarily fastening the sack to other side parts 3, 4 or 5 are also provided.
• fasteners are e.g. suitable double-sided adhesive strips, which adhere to one side part on one side and the sack can be pressed against the other side if necessary, and which are able to release the sack undamaged if it is to be closed again in the partially emptied state.
• FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the frame 1 alone, without the sack 8.
• a bottom part 11 can be seen here, which serves to support the sack 8 and its contents. It is foldably connected to the lower edge of the longitudinal side part 2.
• the base part 11 comprises two elements 13, 14 that are foldably connected along an embossing 12, both of which are provided with a gripping cutout 15 in the vicinity of the embossing 12.
• the width of the bottom part 11 is slightly smaller than that of the longitudinal side part 2, as can be seen from a narrow gap 16 between the bottom part 11 and the transverse side part 4.
• transverse side parts 4, 5 After the bottom part 11 has been pressed flat against the longitudinal side part 2, the folding of the transverse side parts 4, 5 can be started.
• the transverse side parts 4, 5 are divided by vertical embossments 17, 18 into a narrow, strip-shaped element 19 and two halves 20, 21 of essentially the same size.
• the width of the strip-shaped element 19 is shown disproportionately large in the figures, it corresponds approximately to twice the thickness of the base part 11, possibly a little more, so that the emptied sack 8 can also be comfortably compressed between the longitudinal side wall 2 and the base part 11 ,
• Figure 4 shows the frame 1 with partially folded cross-side parts 4, 5. When they are completely folded, the two halves 20 each lie directly on the element 14 of the base plate.
• a gripping cutout 22 of the longitudinal side part 3 is arranged such that it is aligned with the gripping cutouts 15 of the bottom part 11 in this folded state. In this way, the entire frame 1 can be securely gripped into the gripping cutouts 15 with one hand through the gripping cutout 22 and removed from the grid box without the risk of undesired unfolding.
• the transverse side parts 4, 5 are divided into two identical halves 20, 21 by a single embossing 18; the strip-shaped element 19 is missing.
• the base part 31 is divided into two strip-shaped elements 37, 39 and two large-area elements 38, 40 by three embossments 34, 35, 36.
• the width of the strip-shaped element 37 corresponds approximately to twice that of element 39 three times the thickness of the side parts.
• the transverse side parts 4, 5 are first pulled inwards on the embossments 18, as shown in FIG. 6, and pressed against the longitudinal side part 2 and the sack 8 (not shown).
• the base part 31 can then be gripped by its gripping cutout 15 and folded up.
• the resulting position is rotated by 180 ° in relation to the perspective of FIGS. 5 and 6, shown in FIG.
• the width of the large-area element 38 corresponds to the height of the side parts, so that the embossment 35 comes to lie at the height of the upper edge of the side parts.
• the bottom part is now bent along the embossments 35, 36, so that the strip-shaped element 39 lies on the upper edges of the side parts and the large-area element 40, as indicated by the arrow 41, on the outside of the longitudinal side part 2 comes to rest.
• the gripping cutout 15 of the base part is congruent with a gripping cutout 22 of the longitudinal Side part 2, so that a user can comfortably engage through the two gripping cutouts 15, 22 in the cavity 42 remaining due to the thickness of the transverse side parts 4, 5 between the two longitudinal side parts 2, 3 and thus easily lift the frame out of the mesh box can.
• the gripping cutout 15 can be designed not only as an opening, but also as a C-shaped cross section with a foldable tab remaining therein, which is pressed into the gripping cutout 22 and the cavity 42 when the frame is removed from the lattice box, and thus the frame holds even after being put down in the folded state.
• the frame can thus easily be removed from the mesh box undamaged and stored in a space-saving manner for reuse.
• FIG. 8 shows a third embodiment of the insert in a perspective view
• the insert 1 is foldable as in the above embodiments, for this purpose it can have the same structure as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 4.
• the frame 1 forms a tight envelope downwards and to the sides, which protects filled objects from dirt. Therefore, the sack that surrounded the objects on all sides in the first two configurations is reduced here to a flexible tarpaulin or film 24, which is dimensioned such that it can close the open top of the frame 1.
• This tarpaulin 24 can be attached to the edges of at least two opposite side parts, at least one attachment being releasable and reclosable, e.g. B. with the help of adhesive tape, as mentioned above, or Velcro.
• Fig. 8 shows an embodiment where the releasable attachment is formed by a rigid bracket 25 with the cross-side parts 4, 5 around the outside hook 27 which carries the releasably attached end of the tarpaulin 24 and in the closed state in two notches 26 engages the corners of the frame.
• a semi-open state is shown, in which the bracket 25 rests in a central area on the edges of the transverse side parts 4, 5.
• the bracket 25 with the tarpaulin 24 can also be folded out of the grid box containing the insert 1.
