Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container, in particular plastic container, preferably in the form of a bucket, with a lid for closing the container, which has a receiving area, in which the container opening bounding edge of the container is engaged and held in the closed state, wherein the receiving area of the Lid and on the edge of the container opening against each other acting locking elements and sealing surfaces are provided, wherein the locking elements are designed so that in the closed state of the container, the sealing surfaces securely against each other and seal, wherein the receiving portion of the lid has a constriction, which forms a film hinge, the a lower segment is formed, wherein at least two differently acting and stacked locking element pairs are provided on the lower segment and the edge of the container opening, of which at least one locking element pair is formed so that the Lösu ng the latching would have to be done with different, in particular opposite movement than the other locking element pairs, so that a movement of at least a portion of the receiving area of the lid or the edge of the container opening to solve the locking differently acting locking element pairs in different directions, in
  • Containers for the safe transport of liquid or pasty hazardous substances have long been known. These containers have in common that on the one hand they must have sufficient tightness to prevent the escape of the transported hazardous substances. On the other hand, you must also have a closure that ensures a safe closing of the container even under extreme loads. In particular, such containers and their closures must withstand a load that can also occur in case of accidents, such as dropping the container from a certain height.
  • the segment and the edge of the container opening have two differently acting and superimposed locking element pairs, of which a locking element is designed so that the solution of the locking must be done with different, in particular opposite movement.
  • the CH 672 473 A5 shows a container with a lid on which a tear strip is arranged. At this tear strip, however, there are no means to ensure a secure closure between the lid and container. In the further state of the art is on the US 5,979,691 to point.
  • the container according to the invention which is preferably in the form of a bucket or in a barrel-like shape, has a lid for closing the container, wherein the lid has a receiving area, in which engages the edge of the container opening of the container in the closed state and held there ,
  • the container of the invention starts from known containers.
  • the basis of the container according to the invention is the recognition that a secure and tight sealing of a container is made possible by the provision of positively locking interconnected latching elements and correspondingly cooperating sealing surfaces.
  • By the use of form-fitting connections by means of locking elements and corresponding sealing surfaces ensures that both the handling and the production are kept simple. This ensures effective use of the container.
  • the positive connections of locking elements are formed so that the lid of the container can only be solved if at least part of the lid or a part of the container is destroyed. This is a verifiable Clearö Stammsgarantie given to the user, since only a never opened container is intact, while a container already opened once has damage to the lid or the container.
  • the receiving area of the lid and the edge of the container opening which engage in closing, or the latching elements which form the positive connection, and the sealing surfaces are designed so that the placement of the lid or the closing of the Container takes place by a translational movement of the lid to the container.
  • the lid is merely pushed or clipped onto the container from above. This allows a automatic closing of the container by a machine, since a translational movement or the placement or clipping on a machine is easy to carry out.
  • At least two, preferably three or more locking element pairs are provided on the receiving area of the cover or on the edge of the container opening, since a plurality of locking element pairs allow multiple security and thus contribute to the secure closing of the container.
  • a plurality of locking elements which, however, are considered due to their similar design and the same mode of action only as a pair of locking elements. For example, this applies to locking elements, which are formed only by a subdivision.
  • the at least two, preferably three or more locking element pairs of the container are designed such that at least one of these locking element pairs is so different from the other locking element pairs, that the movement to release the locking element pair is different from the other locking element pairs.
  • a part of the receiving area has to be moved to open both outwards and inwards. This is therefore in particular beyond that different, in particular opposite solution movements are required for circumferential locking elements on opposite sides. Rather, here different locking element pairs are meant, which are adjacent to each other, for example, arranged one above the other.
  • sealing surfaces may also be provided on the positive connection generating latching elements corresponding sealing surfaces, especially when using different types of detent element pairs with different directions of movement to release the locking and a mutual wedging can be effected, which leads to that in itself positive locking elements in a certain way are pressing together and thus form sealing surfaces.
  • additional sealing means may be provided in the receiving area of the lid and / or at the edge area of the container, in particular in the form of inserted or injected sealing rings.
  • the receiving area of the lid has a substantially U-shaped cross-section, the receiving area being open at the bottom in order to receive the edge of the container opening from there.
  • the thighs of the U-shaped receiving area then close the edge of the container opening and holds it by means of locking elements form-fitting firmly, while the sealing surfaces in close contact with each other, so as to ensure the sealing effect.
  • the present invention in the U-shaped receiving area, which is formed by an outer and an inner leg, on the inside of the outer leg two locking lugs or hooks, which cooperate with two locking lugs on the outside of the edge of the container opening.
  • the outer leg of the U-shaped receiving portion on the outside of a further latching hook which cooperates with an undercut of the edge formation of the container opening, which is provided in a double-walled part of the edge formation on the outer web of the edge.
  • latching hooks or lugs both on the inside and on the outside of the outer leg of the U-shaped receiving area and the corresponding formation of corresponding undercuts or latching elements on the edge region of the container opening two different types of locking element pairs are formed by distinguish that the one type of locking element pairs can be solved in their latching when the outer leg is moved outwards, while the other type of locking element pairs requires movement of the outer leg inwardly to effect a solution of the latching.
  • a constriction is formed in the outer leg of the U-shaped receiving area, so that forms in this area a film hinge, which forms a lower segment of the outer leg.
  • this film hinge causes the lower segment of the outer leg to perform the corresponding movements in order to pass the locking lugs or hooks and undercuts when the container is closed or the cover is placed on top of it.
  • the film hinge or the constriction provides the ability to separate the lower segment by simply cutting with a cutting tool, such as a knife along the film hinge.
  • the locking elements or locking element pairs are arranged circumferentially around the container opening or to the lid, again a break or subdivision of a locking element through recesses, webs, etc. may cause a corresponding plurality of locking elements is formed, but in the context of the present invention, the purpose of the uniform closure and the treatment is maintained as a locking element or two locking elements in a locking element pair.
