Definitions

  • the invention relates to a storage box, in particular storage box, with a bottom wall, a front wall and a rear wall, and with two mutually opposite side walls, each of which has a stacking edge on its upper edge, each side wall extending at least one from the bottom wall and has the bulge interrupting the stack edge.
  • Storage boxes are stackable plastic trays in which small parts such as screws etc. can be stored.
  • Storage boxes of this type which are used both by do-it-yourselfers and in the professional sector by craftsmen to store small parts, are mostly offered as so-called storage boxes, in which the front wall has a viewing or removal opening. A handle is usually attached below the viewing opening.
  • the upper edge of the storage box is designed as a stacking edge on which the edge region of the bottom of the attached storage box rests.
  • bulges are provided in the side walls that extend vertically from the floor to the edge of the storage box. These bulges interrupt the stacking edge and often correspond to each other in terms of their dimensions so that the inner surfaces of the recesses of a lower storage box serve as a guide for the outer surfaces of the corresponding recess of a second storage box inserted into the lower storage box.
  • the bulges also fulfill the task of a stiffening profile for the storage boxes, which must be both stable and light.
  • a generic storage box is known from DE 44 02 219 AI.
  • the bulges are wedge-shaped downwards. Since the bulges interrupt the stacking edge at the top, in order to stack several storage boxes one above the other, it is necessary to move the storage boxes towards each other in such a way that the bottom area of a bulge of the upper storage box rests on the stacking edge of the lower storage box and not in the corresponding bulge is inserted into one another as in the case of stacking of storage boxes.
  • small recesses are provided in the stacking edge on the side of the stack edge interruptions, in which the wedge tips of the bulges of a storage box stacked above can engage securely against displacement.
  • the storage boxes of a stack are thus offset from one another.
  • the directions of displacement in a stack must alternate.
  • the recesses are provided on both sides of each bulge.
  • a disadvantage of the known storage box is on the one hand the necessity for the boxes to be moved alternately when a stack is formed, which makes it impossible to insert a single box into an existing stack.
  • the necessary anti-shift device prevents a storage box from being moved like a drawer against underlying boxes in the stack for easier access.
  • No. 3,347,394 discloses further storage boxes which can be stacked on one another, but which cannot be stacked one inside the other.
  • Another storage box is known from DE 93 04 071 U1, which is designed such that two storage boxes can be stacked one inside the other in a first relative orientation and can be stacked on top of each other in a second relative orientation rotated 180 ° about a vertical axis. This is achieved by appropriately distributing the bulges and thus the stack edge interruptions around the circumference of the storage box.
  • a disadvantage of this known storage box is the requirement of rotational symmetry at least against rotations through 180 ° about a vertical axis. This concept is therefore not applicable to storage bins that have a specially designed front.
  • DE 70 32 037 U also discloses storage boxes which can be stacked on one another or one inside the other at relative rotations through 180 °.
  • GB 2 0605 66 A discloses similar storage boxes, which, however, can be stacked on one another or in one another at relative rotations through 90 °.
  • Another storage box is known from US 4,372,444, which has no stacking edge.
  • Several storage boxes can be stacked one inside the other to save space.
  • the open top of a lower storage box has to be spanned with brackets standing transversely to the side walls, so that another storage box can rest on these brackets.
  • the brackets that span the entire width of a storage box must be made of very stable material, for example steel, in order to be protected against bending or breaking, which is expensive and disadvantageously increases the overall weight.
  • a bridge element is provided which can be used in the region of the bulge and whose surface is adapted to the shape of the stack edge and is flush with it.
  • the stack edge is interrupted by the bulges in the side walls in order to enable space-saving stacking of the storage boxes one inside the other, for example for transport purposes.
  • a continuous stacking edge is advantageous so that the individual boxes can be stacked vertically and do not have to be offset from one another.
  • the stacking edge in the area of the bulges is continued, supplemented or completed if stacking of the storage boxes on top of one another is desired.
  • the stacking edge completed by the bridge elements also enables a safe, drawer-like sliding possibility of at least the uppermost storage box of a stack without the risk of this box slipping off its support, as would be the case in the prior art if the sliding possibility there was not entirely with additional security measures would be prevented.
  • the bridge elements can be used in sufficient number, preferably one per bulge, added by the user before use.
  • the bridge element has first latching means which interact with second latching means on the side wall.
  • the latching means can preferably consist of pins and associated openings into which the pins are pressed. As a result, the bridge elements are captively secured.
  • the stacking edge and the bridge element each have a guide groove which are in alignment with one another when the bridge element is in use, and that a spring which is adapted to the guide groove is formed at the lower end of the bulge.
  • the lower ends of the bulges thus form protrusions, which are supported in the guide groove and secured against slipping sideways.
  • Another advantage of the guide groove in connection with the adapted design of the spring is that a storage box within a stack can be displaced in the horizontal direction in the guide groove relative to the storage box located immediately below it.
  • the guide groove is preferably designed as a centering groove, ie a tongue inserted into the groove within relatively large, lateral tolerances is inserted when it is inserted deeper into the groove Groove aligned by their special shape, especially centered in the groove.
  • a tongue inserted into the groove within relatively large, lateral tolerances is inserted when it is inserted deeper into the groove Groove aligned by their special shape, especially centered in the groove.
  • efforts are usually made to achieve the thinnest possible wall thicknesses. However, this can cause the side walls to warp outwards when being filled with heavy bulk goods. If the guide groove and tongue are configured in a straight line, there is therefore a risk that the tongue will not engage the groove correctly, so that no perfect stacking of the storage boxes is guaranteed.
  • the guide groove as a centering groove, it preferably has a first and a second flank and a groove base from which at least one flank rises flat.
  • the bottom of the groove can be reduced to the line of contact of the two flanks, but can also be designed as a flat surface between the flanks.
  • the centering groove preferably has a V-shaped cross section, wherein the V-shaped centering groove can be configured symmetrically or asymmetrically.
  • the spring adapted to the centering groove has two side surfaces, at least one side surface of which is preferably complementary to one of the two flanks of the centering groove.
  • the spring can be designed such that it fills the centering groove when the storage boxes are stacked on top of each other, i.e. that the two side surfaces of the spring rest on both flanks of the centering groove, so that a positive connection between the centering groove and the spring is achieved.
  • Another possible embodiment of the spring provides that only one side surface of the spring rests on a flank of the centering groove and that the second side surface is arranged at a distance from the corresponding flank of the centering groove.
  • the bottom wall of the bulge is advantageously designed as a spring. It preferably has at its lower end a first and a second wall section, which advantageously form a V-shaped cross section, which can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.
  • the base wall of the bulge preferably has at least one gently rising wall section. When stacking on top of each other comes the gently rising wall section to rest on the gently rising flank of the centering groove, so that in the event of a possible offset the flank in question slides over the assigned wall section until the centered end position is reached.
  • the second wall section of the bottom wall of the bulge preferably merges into the bottom wall of the storage box via a curved wall section, so that a groove-like configuration is likewise achieved in the bottom area.
  • the bulges preferably have a rectangular, trapezoidal or undulating horizontal cross section.
  • the lower end of the bulge does not protrude downward from the bottom wall of the storage box.
  • the lower end of the bulges lies in one plane with the bottom wall. This measure prevents the storage boxes from getting caught on transport and distribution systems.
  • the bottom wall is preferably drawn inwards.
  • the bottom wall is drawn in in a pyramid shape. This configuration has the advantage that the bottom wall cannot bend downward when heavily loaded, which would otherwise have adverse effects on the side walls. The distortion of the side walls is reduced, so that a safe engagement of tongue and groove is supported.
  • the side walls and / or the bulges are preferably conically inclined, as a result of which the stacking of the storage boxes is facilitated.
  • the angle of inclination is preferably 2 °.
  • stacked seats are formed in the corner regions of the walls. When stacking one inside the other, the storage boxes rest on the stacking seats of the storage box underneath.
  • the storage boxes are advantageously made of plastic, in particular of injection molded plastic. This material has the advantage that the storage boxes can be carried out easily and can be manufactured in a simple manner.
