  • Figure 6 in a view corresponding to that of Figure 2 shows a variant of the tool box.

In Figur 1 sind zwei stapelbare Werkzeugkoffer 5, 7 gezeigt, die jeweils aus einem Unterteil 10 und einem Deckel 12 bestehen. Der untere Koffer 7 hat ein größeres Volumen als der Koffer 5, da sein Unterteil 10 höher ausgeführt ist als das Unterteil des Koffers 5. Am Deckel 12 jedes Koffers kann ein Griff 14 angebracht sein, und am Unterteil jedes Koffers kann ein Tragegriff 16 angebracht sein.In Figure 1, two stackable tool cases 5, 7 are shown, each out a lower part 10 and a cover 12 are made. The lower case 7 has a larger volume than the case 5, since its lower part 10 is made higher than the lower part of the case 5. On the lid 12 of each case, a handle 14th be attached, and at the bottom of each suitcase, a carrying handle 16 is attached be.

Der Deckel 12 ist mit dem Unterteil 10 über ein Scharnier 18 verbunden. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite sind zwei Verschlußriegel 20 angebracht. Diese sind mittels einer Lagerachse 22 in einem Langloch 24 am Deckel 12 schwenkbar gelagert. In seiner Verschlußstellung (siehe in Figur 1 den rechten der beiden Verschlußriegel) greift der Verschlußriegel an zwei Verschlußvorsprüngen 26 an, von denen einer am Unterteil 10 und der andere am Deckel 12 angebracht ist. In der Verschlußstellung ist die Lagerachse 22 entlastet; eine den Deckel 12 vom Unterteil 10 trennende Kraft wird zum einen vom Scharnier 18 und zum anderen unmittelbar von den Verschlußriegeln 20 aufgenommen, die den Verschlußvorsprung 26 am Deckel 12 und den Verschlußvorsprung 26 am Unterteil 10 umgreifen.The lid 12 is connected to the lower part 10 via a hinge 18. On the opposite side two locking latch 20 are attached. These are pivotable by means of a bearing axis 22 in a slot 24 on the cover 12 stored. In its closed position (see in Figure 1, the right of the two Locking latch), the locking latch engages two locking projections 26, one of which is attached to the lower part 10 and the other to the cover 12. In the closed position, the bearing axis 22 is relieved; a lid 12 from Lower part 10 separating force is on the one hand from the hinge 18 and the other taken directly from the closure bolts 20, the Closure projection 26 on the lid 12 and the closure projection 26 on Embrace lower part 10.

In der Verschlußstellung werden die Verschlußriegel 20 von Rastvorsprüngen 28 gehalten, die an den Verschlußriegeln 20 ausgebildet sind und elastisch an dem am Unterteil 10 angebrachten Verschlußvorsprung 26 einrasten. Um die Verschlußriegel 20 zu öffnen, greift ein Benutzer mit seinen Fingern in eine auf der Unterseite der Verschlußriegel 20 vorgesehene Greifaussparung 30 und zieht die Verschlußriegel 20 nach vorne, so daß sie sich von dem am Unterteil 10 angebrachten Verschlußvorsprung 26 lösen (siehe in Figur 1 den linken der beiden Verschlußriegel). Der Deckel 12 kann nun um das Scharnier 18 in eine geöffnete Stellung verschwenkt werden, in der ein Zugang zum Inneren des Werkzeugkoffers möglich ist. Dabei werden die Verschlußriegel 20 mitgenommen, so daß sie sich nicht mehr auf der Vorderseite des Werkzeugkoffers befinden, wo sie stören.In the closed position, the locking latch 20 of locking projections 28, which are formed on the closure bolts 20 and elastically on the engage on the lower part 10 mounted locking projection 26. To the To open the closure latch 20, a user engages with his fingers in one the underside of the locking bolt 20 provided gripping recess 30 and pulls the locking latch 20 forward, so that they are different from the lower part 10th attached closure projection 26 solve (see in Figure 1, the left of the two Locking latch). The lid 12 can now around the hinge 18 in an open Be pivoted position in which access to the interior of the Tool case is possible. In this case, the locking latch 20 taken so that they are no longer on the front of the Tool case are where they bother.

Die Werkzeugkoffer sind so ausgebildet, daß sie übereinander gestapelt werden können. Um ein Verrutschen zu verhindern, ist in jedem Deckel 12 eine Vertiefung 32 vorgesehen, während auf der Unterseite jedes Unterteils 10 ein Vorsprung 34 ausgebildet ist. Dieser greift, wenn die Werkzeugkoffer übereinander gestapelt werden, in die Vertiefung 32 des Deckels 12 des darunterliegenden Werkzeugkoffers ein.The tool cases are designed to stack one on top of the other can be. To prevent slipping, 12 is in each cover Recess 32 provided while on the bottom of each lower part 10 a Projection 34 is formed. This attacks when the toolbox stacked one above the other, in the recess 32 of the lid 12 of the underlying tool case.

Die übereinander gestapelten Werkzeugkoffer können auch miteinander verbunden werden, so daß sie als eine Einheit gemeinsam hochgehoben und transportiert werden können. Zu diesem Zweck sind Verbindungsriegel 36 vorgesehen, die an den beiden Seitenflächen jedes Werkzeugkoffers angeordnet sind, also an den Seiten, die zwischen der mit dem Scharnier 18 versehenen Rückseite und der mit den Verschlußriegeln 20 versehenen Vorderseite angeordnet sind. Jeder Verbindungsriegel 36 weist eine Lagerachse 38 auf, mit der er in einem Langloch 40 am Unterteil 10 befestigt ist. Dadurch ist jeder Verbindungsriegel 36 am Unterteil 10 in vertikaler Richtung verschiebbar, und zwar zwischen einer Ruhestellung, in der er sich in einer oberen Stellung befindet, nicht über die Unterseite des Unterteils 10 hervorsteht und an einem Verbindungsvorsprung 42 arretiert ist, der am Unterteil 10 angebracht ist, und einer nach unten verschobenen Verbindungsstellung, in der er sowohl an dem am Unterteil 10 angebrachten Verbindungsvorsprung 42 als auch an einem am Deckel des darunterliegenden Werkzeugkoffers angebrachten Verbindungsvorsprung 43 angreift. In der Verbindungsstellung werden also die Verbindungsvorsprünge 42, 43 von zwei unterschiedlichen Werkzeugkoffern unmittelbar mittels der Verbindungsriegel 36 verbunden, während die Lagerachse 38 der Verbindungsriegel 36 entlastet ist.The stacked tool cases can also with each other be connected so that they are lifted together as a unit and can be transported. For this purpose, connection bolts 36 provided, which are arranged on the two side surfaces of each tool box are, ie on the sides, between the provided with the hinge 18 Rear side and provided with the lock latches 20 front are arranged. Each connecting bolt 36 has a bearing axis 38, with he is attached in a slot 40 on the lower part 10. This is everyone Connecting bolt 36 on the lower part 10 in the vertical direction displaceable, and although between a rest position in which he is in an upper position, does not protrude over the bottom of the lower part 10 and on a Connecting projection 42 is locked, which is attached to the lower part 10, and a downwardly shifted connection position, in which he both at the am Lower part 10 mounted connecting projection 42 and at one on the lid of the underlying tool case mounted connection projection 43rd attacks. In the connecting position, therefore, the connecting projections 42, 43 of two different tool cases directly by means of Connecting bolt 36 connected while the bearing shaft 38 of the Connecting bolt 36 is relieved.

Es ist selbstverständlich auch möglich, den Deckel des unteren Werkzeugkoffers zu öffnen, obwohl auf diesem der zweite Werkzeugkoffer angebracht ist. Der zweite Werkzeugkoffer wird in diesem Fall mit dem Deckel nach hinten geschwenkt.It is of course also possible to cover the lower one Tool case open, although on this the second tool case is appropriate. The second tool case will in this case with the lid swung backwards.

Es sind Rastvorsprünge 44 am Verbindungsriegel 36 vorgesehen, mittels denen der Verbindungsriegel 36 lösbar in seiner Verbindungsstellung am unteren Verbindungsvorsprung 43 einrastet. Zum Lösen der Verbindungsriegel 36 greift ein Benutzer mit seinen Fingern in eine Ausnehmung 46 und schwenkt die Verbindungsriegel 36 nach außen. Dann werden sie nach oben geschoben und wieder nach innen gedrückt, so daß die Verbindungsriegel mit ihren Rastvorsprüngen 44 am Verbindungsvorsprung 42 an ihrem Unterteil 10 einrasten. Auf diese Weise sind die Verbindungsriegel 36 zuverlässig in ihrer Ruhestellung gehalten, in der sie nicht stören, falls sie nicht erforderlich sind.There are locking projections 44 are provided on the connecting bolt 36, by means which the connecting bolt 36 releasably in its connection position at the bottom Connecting projection 43 engages. To release the connecting bolt 36 engages a user with his fingers in a recess 46 and pivots the Connecting bolt 36 to the outside. Then they are pushed up and pushed back inwards so that the tie bars with their Locking projections 44 on the connecting projection 42 at its lower part 10th engage. In this way, the connecting bars 36 are reliable in their Rest position held in which they do not disturb if they are not required.

In Figur 6 ist eine Ausführungsvariante der in den Figuren 4 und 5 gezeigten Verbindungsriegel dargestellt. Für die von der ersten Ausführungsform bekannten Bauelemente werden dieselben Bezugszeichen verwendet, und es wird auf die obigen Erläuterungen verwiesen. FIG. 6 shows a variant of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 Connection bar shown. For those known from the first embodiment Components are the same reference numerals, and it is on the referenced above.

Der wesentlichste Unterschied zwischen dem Verbindungsriegel gemäß Figur 6 und dem in den Figuren 4 und 5 gezeigten Verbindungsriegel besteht darin, daß bei Figur 6 der Verbindungsriegel 36 um 180° nach oben verschwenkt wird, um aus seiner Verbindungsstellung in seine Ruhestellung zu gelangen. In seiner Ruhestellung wird der Verbindungsriegel durch zwei Rastnasen 48 gehalten, die seitlich in der Aussparung angebracht sind, in welcher der Verbindungsriegel 36 angeordnet ist.The most important difference between the connecting bolt according to FIG 6 and the connecting bolt shown in Figures 4 and 5 is that in Figure 6, the connecting bolt 36 is pivoted by 180 ° upwards to to get from its connection position to its rest position. In its Rest position, the connecting bolt is held by two locking lugs 48, the are mounted laterally in the recess, in which the connecting bolt 36th is arranged.

Der Vorteil des beschriebenen Werkzeugkoffers besteht darin, daß weder bei den Verschlußriegeln noch bei den Verbindungsriegeln hohe Kräfte auf die Lagerung der Riegel wirken. Stattdessen werden sämtliche Kräfte unmittelbar von den Riegeln als solche zwischen dem Deckel und dem Unterteil bzw. dem Unterteil und dem darunterliegenden Deckel übertragen. Dies macht das System besonders belastbar und auch langlebig. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, daß die Verschlußriegel am Deckel angebracht sind und beim Öffnen des Deckels mit diesem nach oben verschwenkt werden, so daß sie einen Benutzer der Werkzeugkoffer nicht stören. Die Verbindungsriegel sind seitlich angeordnet und befinden sich damit ebenfalls in einem Bereich, in welchem sie nicht stören.The advantage of the tool case described is that neither at the locking bolts still high forces on the connecting bolts Storage of the bars act. Instead, all forces are directly from the bars as such between the lid and the lower part or the Transfer base and the underlying lid. This is what the system does particularly durable and durable. Another advantage is that the Lock bolts are attached to the lid and when opening the lid with be pivoted upwards so that they are a user of Do not disturb tool case. The tie bars are arranged laterally and are thus also in an area where they do not bother.

Obwohl die Erfindung anhand eines Werkzeugkoffers beschrieben wurde, ist selbstverständlich, daß in einem erfindungsgemäß ausgeführten Behältnis auch andere Dinge als Werkzeuge transportiert werden können.Although the invention has been described with reference to a tool case, is of course, that in a container designed according to the invention also other things than tools can be transported.
