Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kufe nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a runner according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Es ist ein stapelbarer Transportkasten dieser Art z.B. bekannt aus EP-A-0 876 963 , bei welchem in den Seitenwänden eine um eine horizontale Achse drehbare Klappe vorgesehen ist. Die Drehklappe ist mit einem Einsatzteil drehbar verbunden, welches in einen entsprechenden Einschnitt in der Seitenwand befestigt ist. Der Boden des Transportkastens ist an den Ecken und in der Mitte mit vertikalen Tragstützen versehen, die auf einem viereckigen Tragrahmen befestigt sind. Dieser Tragrahmen ist einstückig und massiv ausgebildet.There is a stackable transport box of this type, for example, known EP-A-0 876 963 in which a flap rotatable about a horizontal axis is provided in the side walls. The rotary flap is rotatably connected to an insert part which is fixed in a corresponding recess in the side wall. The bottom of the transport box is provided at the corners and in the middle with vertical support posts, which are mounted on a quadrangular support frame. This support frame is integral and solid.

Damit der Tragrahmen mechanisch genügend stabil ist, um Traglasten von über 1000 kg zuverlässig zu widerstehen, muss er eine bestimmte Dicke und Breite aufweisen. Bei Ausmassen des Transportkastens von mehr als 1 Meter auf 1 Meter bedarf die Herstellung eines solchen Tragrahmens besonders grosse Matrizen. Ausserdem muss der Tragrahmen mit den Tragstützen verschweisst oder mit einem Kunstharzklebstoff mit einer sehr hohen Festigkeit verleimt werden.So that the support frame is mechanically stable enough to reliably withstand loads of over 1000 kg, it must have a certain thickness and width. With dimensions of the transport box of more than 1 meter to 1 meter, the production of such a support frame requires particularly large matrices. In addition, the support frame must be welded to the support posts or glued with a very high strength resin adhesive.

Ein weiterer stapelbarer Transportkasten ist in US-A-5,735,431 beschrieben, der aus einem Traggerippe von vertikalen Tragstützen und einer wabenförmigen Bodenplatte besteht. Zwischen den Tragstützen sind mit Längslöchern gelochte Seitenwände vorgesehen. Die unterhalb der Bodenplatte vorstehenden Tragstützen sind mittels drei parallelen, der Länge des Transportkastens entsprechenden Kufen miteinander verbunden. Die beiden äusseren Kufen sind flach ausgebildet, während die mittlere Kufe bogenförmig ist.Another stackable transport box is in US-A-5,735,431 described, which consists of a support frame of vertical support columns and a honeycomb bottom plate. Between the support posts perforated side walls are provided with longitudinal holes. The support posts projecting below the floor slab are connected to each other by means of three parallel runners corresponding to the length of the transport box. The two outer runners are flat, while the middle runner is arcuate.

Die bei diesem Transportkasten vorgesehenen Längskufen verleihen dem Transportkasten zwar die nötige Stabilität und Handlichkeit, jedoch können sie zu einem Verkanten des Transportkastens in Förderanlagen, wie Transportbänder oder dergleichen, führen. Auch hier bedarf es für die Herstellung der Kufen relativ grosse Matrizen und müssen die Kufen mit den Tragstützen verschweisst oder mit einem Klebstoff hoher Festigkeit verleimt werden.Although provided in this transport box longitudinal skids give the transport box, although the necessary stability and maneuverability, but they can lead to tilting of the transport box in conveyors, such as conveyor belts or the like. Again, it is relatively necessary for the production of runners large dies and must the skids welded to the support posts or glued with an adhesive of high strength.

In WO-A-01/76960 ist ein Transportkasten beschrieben, der einen Gabelstapler-Riemen mit Eckbeinkappenelementen als Tragrahmen aufweist. Der Riemen besteht aus zwei gleichförmig ausgebildeten Riemenelementen, die U-förmig ausgebildet und deren Enden mit einem schwalbenschwanzförmigen Endteil ausgestaltet sind, um die beiden Riemenelemente zu einem Quadrat oder Rechteck zusammenzufügen. Dieser Gabelstapler-Riemen soll verhindern, dass ein Behälter von einem Paar Gabeln eines Gabelstaplers kippen kann, wenn der Behälter aus einer gehobenen oder gestapelten Position angehoben werden soll.In WO-A-01/76960 a transport box is described which has a forklift belt with Eckbeinkappenelementen as a support frame. The belt consists of two uniformly shaped belt elements, which are U-shaped and whose ends are designed with a dovetail-shaped end part in order to join the two belt elements into a square or rectangle. This forklift strap is intended to prevent a container from tilting from a pair of forks of a forklift when the container is to be lifted from an elevated or stacked position.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kufe für einen Transportkasten, eine Palette oder dergleichen anzugeben, die äusserst stabil, einfach herstellbar und schnell austauschbar ist.The present invention is based on the object to provide a runner for a transport box, a pallet or the like, which is extremely stable, easy to manufacture and quickly replaced.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Kufe mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a runner with the features of patent claim 1.

Die Erfindung hat den grossen Vorteil, dass die Kufen aus zusammensteckbaren Kufenelementen bestehen, die besonders in der Handhabung und in der Montage eine handliche Grösse aufweisen. Wenn die Kufenelemente hohl ausgebildet sind, kann viel Gewicht gespart werden und trotzdem die nötige Stabilität.erhalten bleiben.The invention has the great advantage that the runners consist of clip-on runner elements, which have a handy size, especially in handling and assembly. If the runner elements are hollow, a lot of weight can be saved while maintaining the necessary stability.

Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung folgen aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen und aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, in welcher die Erfindung anhand eines in den schematischen Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert wird. Es zeigt:

Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and from the following description in which the invention with reference to an embodiment shown in the schematic drawings is explained in more detail. It shows:
Fig. 1
a stacking container with runners,
Fig. 2
a pallet with runners,

In den Figuren sind für dieselben Elemente jeweils dieselben Bezugszeichen verwendet worden und erstmalige Erklärungen betreffen alle Figuren, wenn nicht ausdrücklich anders erwähnt.In the figures, the same reference numerals have been used for the same elements and first explanations apply to all figures, unless expressly stated otherwise.

In Figur 1 ist ein stapelbarer Transportkasten 1 dargestellt mit einer Bodenplatte 2, vier Seitenwänden 3, 4, 5 und 6, und mit Tragstützen 8 an den Ecken 9 und Tragstützen 10 in der Mitte zwischen zwei Ecken 9. Die innen hohl ausgebildeten Tragstützen 8 und 10 sind mittels Kufenelemente 12 miteinander verbunden. Die zusammengesteckten Kufenelemente 12 bilden ein geschlossenes Rechteck. Der hier dargestellte Transportkasten 1 ist zusammenlegbar, d.h. dass die Wände 3, 4, 5 und 6 mittels nicht-dargestellten Scharnieren längs der Kante 14 und 15 zusammenklappbar sind.In FIG. 1 is a stackable transport box 1 shown with a bottom plate 2, four side walls 3, 4, 5 and 6, and with support posts 8 at the corners 9 and support posts 10 in the middle between two corners 9. The inside hollow support posts 8 and 10 are by means Skid elements 12 connected together. The assembled skid elements 12 form a closed rectangle. The transport box 1 shown here is collapsible, ie that the walls 3, 4, 5 and 6 by means not shown hinges along the edge 14 and 15 are collapsible.

In Figur 2 ist eine Palette 20 aus einem harten Kunststoff wie Polypropylen (PP) oder dergeleichen gezeigt. Diese Palette 20 weist an den Eckbereichen 21 als Rohrstücke ausgebildete Tragstützen 22 auf, die einen Querschnitt eines länglichen Achtkants aufweisen. An den kürzeren Seiten 23 der Palette 20 sind zwischen den Tragstützen 22 die gleichen Tragstützen 24 vorgesehen. Ferner sind zwischen den Tragstützen 22 und 24 weitere, als Rohrstück ausgebildete Tragstützen 25 vorgesehen, die einen achtkantigen Querschnitt aufweisen. Längs der längeren Seiten 27 sind nun in die hohlen Tragstützen 22 und 25 Kufenelemente 28 eingesteckt, ähnlich wie in Figur 1. Die beiden Kufenelemente 28a und 28b sind identisch ausgebildet, d.h. sie weisen am äusseren Ende einen, den inneren Dimensionen der Tragstützen 22 entsprechenden hohlen Nocken 29 und einen hohlen Nocken 30 am inneren Ende auf. Der Nocken 30 entspricht der Hälfte des Innenquerschnittes des Tragstützens 25, so die innenliegenden Nocken 30 der Kufenelemente 28a und 28b zusammen genau den hohlen Tragstützen 25 ausfüllen. Die Kufenelemente 28a und 28b sind selber hohl entformt und mittels eines hier nicht-dargestellten Verbindungsstückes miteinander verbunden. Wie ersichtlich haben die Kufenelemente 28a und 28a flache Längsrippen 31, die in etwa 2 bis 3 mm hoch sind. Auf den mittleren Tragstützen 24 und 25 sind ähnlich ausgebildete Zapfen 32 mit rasterförmigen Rippen 33 aufgesteckt, welche dieselbe Höhe aufweisen wie die Kufenelemente 28a und 28b. Die Bodenplatte 35 der Palette 20 ist ebenfalls rasterförmigen Rippen 36 als Verstärkung versehen.In FIG. 2 For example, a pallet 20 of a hard plastic such as polypropylene (PP) or the like is shown. This pallet 20 has at the corner regions 21 as pipe sections formed support posts 22, which have a cross section of an elongated octagon. On the shorter sides 23 of the pallet 20, the same support posts 24 are provided between the support posts 22. Further, between the support posts 22 and 24 more, designed as a pipe piece support posts 25 are provided which have an octagonal cross-section. Along the longer sides 27 are now inserted into the hollow support posts 22 and 25 runner elements 28, similar to in FIG. 1 , The two runner elements 28a and 28b are identical, ie they have at the outer end a, the inner dimensions of the support posts 22 corresponding hollow cam 29 and a hollow cam 30 at the inner end. The cam 30 corresponds to half of the inner cross section of the support brace 25, so the inner cam 30 of the runner elements 28 a and 28 b together exactly fill the hollow support posts 25. The runner elements 28a and 28b are themselves hollow demolded and connected to each other by means of a connecting piece, not shown here. As can be seen, the runner elements 28a and 28a have flat longitudinal ribs 31 which are approximately 2 to 3 mm high. On the central support posts 24 and 25 similarly formed pins 32 are attached with grid-shaped ribs 33, which have the same height as the runner elements 28a and 28b. The bottom plate 35 of the pallet 20 is also provided with grid-shaped ribs 36 as reinforcement.

In den Figuren 3 und 4 sind die nun Kufenelemente 12 des Transportkastens 1 dargestellt. Sie sind entweder als kurzes Element 12a und gegengleiches kurzes Element 12b, oder als langes Element 12c und gegengleiches langes Element 12d ausgebildet. Die Kufenelemente 12 bestehen dabei aus einem länglichen, hohlen Tragteil 40 und einem inneren Nocken 41 und einem äusseren Nocken 42. Die inneren Nocken 41 und die äusseren Nocken 42 sind als Rohrstücke hohl ausgebildet und weisen eine wabenförmige Verstärkung 44 auf. Die Kufenelemente 12 sind nun in der Mitte mittels Verbindungsstücke 43, die in die Hohlräume der Tragteile 40 hingesteckt werden, miteinander verbunden. Die beiden äusseren Nocken 42 eines kurzen Elements 12a und eines gegengleiches langes Element 12d sind ebenfalls gegengleich geformt und mit einer zackenförmigen Trennwand 45a bzw. 45d versehen. Diese beiden Trennwände 45a und 45d passen somit ineinander, so dass die beiden Nocken 42 in einen hohlen Tragstützen 8 hineinpassen. Die beiden inneren Nocken 41 eines kurzen Elements 12a und eines gegengleichen kurzen Elementes 12d sind ebenfalls gegengleich ausgebildet und passen genau in den Hohlraum des mittigen Tragstützens 10 hinein. Auf diese Weise kann ein geschlossener rechteckigen Tragrahmen gebildet werden. Die Nocken 41 bzw. 42 können mittels (nicht-dargestellten) Schrauben an den Tragstützen 8 bzw. 10 befestigt sein, wozu in den Nocken 41 und 42 und in den Tragstützen 8 und 10 entsprechende Bohrungen 47 vorgesehen sind. Diese Kufenelemente 12a, 12b, 12c und 12d weisen ebenfalls Längsrippen 31 auf. Wie ferner ersichtlich weist der Hohlraum des Tragteils 40 einen trapezförmigen Querschnitt auf, kann aber auch bogenförmig ausgebildet sein.In the FIGS. 3 and 4 now the runner elements 12 of the transport box 1 are shown. They are formed either as a short element 12a and opposite short element 12b, or as a long element 12c and opposite long element 12d. The runner elements 12 consist of an elongated, hollow support member 40 and an inner cam 41 and an outer cam 42. The inner cam 41 and the outer cam 42 are hollow as pipe sections and have a honeycomb reinforcement 44 on. The runner elements 12 are now connected to each other in the middle by means of connecting pieces 43, which are put into the cavities of the support members 40. The two outer cams 42 of a short element 12a and a counter-opposed long element 12d are also formed counter-shaped and provided with a serrated partition 45a and 45d. These two partitions 45a and 45d thus fit into each other, so that the two cams 42 fit into a hollow support posts 8. The two inner cams 41 of a short element 12a and of a comparatively short element 12d are likewise of opposite design and fit exactly into the cavity of the central supporting support 10. In this way, a closed rectangular support frame can be formed. The cams 41 and 42 may be secured by means (not shown) screws to the support posts 8 and 10, respectively, for which in the cams 41 and 42 and in the support posts 8 and 10 corresponding holes 47 are provided. These runner elements 12a, 12b, 12c and 12d also have longitudinal ribs 31. As further shown, the cavity of the support member 40 has a trapezoidal cross-section, but may also be arcuate.

Die Kufenelemente 28 der Palette 20 sind nun ähnlich aufgebaut, wie die Kufenelemente 12 des Transportkastens 1.The runner elements 28 of the pallet 20 are now constructed similarly as the runner elements 12 of the transport box. 1

Zur Verstärkung der Kufenelemente 12 bzw. 28 können glasfaserverstärkte Stäbe eingeschoben werden, die passgenau in den inneren Hohlraum der Tragteile 40 hineinpassen. Die Stäbe können auch aus Metall wie Aluminium oder Stahl ausgebildet sein. Damit kann die mechanische Stabilität der Kufenelemente 12 bzw. 28 weiter vergrössert werden. Diese Stäbe können auch von den Verbindungsstücken 43 gebildet sein, die dann etwa gleich lang sind wie die Kufenelemente 12 bzw. 28. Zur weiteren Stabilisierung können die Hohlräume der Tragteile 40 mit - hier nicht weiter dargestellten - Längsrippen in weitere Hohlkammern unterteilt sein.To reinforce the runner elements 12 and 28, glass fiber reinforced rods can be inserted, which fit snugly into the inner cavity of the support members 40. The rods may also be formed of metal such as aluminum or steel. Thus, the mechanical stability of the runner elements 12 and 28 can be further increased. These rods can also from the connectors 43, which are then approximately the same length as the runner elements 12 and 28, respectively. For further stabilization, the cavities of the supporting parts 40 can be subdivided into further hollow chambers (not shown here).
