Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen tragbaren Behälter, insbesondere für kraftgetriebene Werkzeuge, mit einem Haupthandgriff und mindestens einem im Bereich einer Seitenfläche angeordneten Seitenhandgriff, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a portable container, in particular for power tools, having a main handle and at least one side handle arranged in the region of a side surface, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein derartiger Behälter ist aus der
Obwohl eine derartige Ausgestaltung der Handgriffe grundsätzlich das gemeinsame Tragen von nebeneinander angeordneten Behältern erlaubt, ist insbesondere dann, wenn die Behälter selbst sehr schwer sind, eine besonders ergonomische Gestaltung der Handgriffe erforderlich, um sowohl beim Tragen eines einzelnen Behälters als auch beim gemeinsamen Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter einen möglichst hohen Komfort zu gewährleisten.Although such a configuration of the handles basically allows the common carrying of juxtaposed containers, especially when the containers themselves are very heavy, a particularly ergonomic design of the handles is required to both when carrying a single container and when carrying two adjacent Container to ensure the highest possible comfort.
Aus der
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen verbesserten Behälter anzugeben, mit dem ein besonders hoher Tragekomfort sowohl beim Tragen eines einzelnen Behälters beim Ergreifen des Haupthandgriffes als auch beim gemeinsamen Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter durch Umgreifen der beiden Seitenhandgriffe zu gewährleisten.The invention has for its object to provide an improved container with which to ensure a particularly high level of comfort both when carrying a single container when gripping the main handle as well as the common carrying two adjacent container by grasping the two side handles.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen tragbaren Behälter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a portable container having the features of claim 1.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird auf diese Weise vollkommen gelöst.The object of the invention is completely solved in this way.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dadurch, dass der Haupthandgriff verschwenkbar angeordnet ist, ein deutlich verbesserter Tragekomfort beim Tragen des Behälters am Haupthandgriff gewährleistet. Da zusätzlich der Haupthandgriff an den Seitenhandgriff anklappbar ist, kann so beim Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter sowohl der Haupthandgriff mit dem zugehörigen Seitenhandgriff als auch der Seitenhandgriff des benachbarten Behälters mit einer Hand ergriffen werden. Auf diese Weise steht insgesamt beim Tragen zweier Behälter eine deutlich vergrößerte Querschnittsfläche zur Verfügung, wodurch sich ein deutlich verbesserter Tragekomfort ergibt.According to the invention is characterized in that the main handle is pivotally mounted, a significantly improved comfort when carrying the container on the main handle guaranteed. In addition, since the main handle on the side handle is hinged, so when carrying two adjacent container both the main handle with the associated side handle and the side handle of the adjacent container can be taken with one hand. In this way, when carrying two containers is a total significantly increased cross-sectional area available, resulting in a significantly improved comfort.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung taucht der Haupthandgriff in der zweiten Position teilweise in den Seitenhandgriff ein.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the main handle in the second position partially immersed in the side handle.
Hierzu können beispielsweise der Haupthandgriff und der Seitenhandgriff Rippenstrukturen aufweisen, die beim Anklappen des Haupthandgriffes an den Seitenhandgriff teilweise ineinander greifen.For this purpose, for example, the main handle and the side handle rib structures which partially engage when folding the main handle on the side handle.
Auf diese Weise kann einerseits ein Haupthandgriff verwendet werden, der einen relativ großen zum Tragen des Behälters ausschließlich am Haupthandgriff besonders geeigneten Querschnitt aufweist. Andererseits kann dieser Haupthandgriff beim Anklappen an den Seitenhandgriff zusammen mit diesem einen Gesamtquerschnitt aufweisen, der nur unwesentlich gegenüber der Querschnittsfläche des Haupthandgriffes vergrößert ist. So steht beim gemeinsamen Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter durch Umgreifen der beiden aneinander anliegenden Seitenhandgriffe und des zusätzlich angeklappten Haupthandgriffes eine Gesamtfläche zur Verfügung, die zwar größer ist als die Fläche des Haupthandgriffes, die jedoch nicht so groß ist, dass sich die Griffe nur schwer umgreifen lassen. So ergibt wird eine besonders gute Anpassung sowohl an das Tragen eines einzelnen Behälters an seinem Haupthandgriff als auch an das Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter ermöglicht.In this way, on the one hand a main handle can be used, which has a relatively large for carrying the container exclusively on the main handle particularly suitable cross-section. On the other hand, this main handle when folding on the side handle together with this have an overall cross-section which is only slightly larger compared to the cross-sectional area of the main handle. Thus, when two adjacent containers are jointly carried by grasping the two mutually adjoining side handles and the additionally folded main handle, a total area is available which, although larger than the area of the main handle, is not so great that the handles are difficult to embrace , Thus, a particularly good adaptation is made possible both to the carrying of a single container at its main handle as well as to the carrying of two adjacent containers.
Hierbei steht grundsätzlich im Vordergrund, dass der Querschnitt des Haupthandgriffes groß genug sein soll, um ein bequemes Tragen eines einzelnen Behälters zu ermöglichen. Andererseits soll der zu umgreifende Gesamtquerschnitt beim gemeinsamen Tragen zweier Behälter zwar größer sein soll, als der Querschnitt des Haupthandgriffes, jedoch nicht so groß, dass ein Umgreifen erschwert ist.Here, in principle, in the foreground that the cross section of the main handle should be large enough to allow comfortable carrying a single container. On the other hand, the overall cross-section to be encompassed while carrying two containers together should be larger than the cross-section of the main handle, but not so large that it is difficult to reach around.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weisen der Haupthandgriff und der Seitenhandgriff annähernd gleiche Querschnitte auf.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the main handle and the side handle on approximately the same cross sections.
Hierbei können insbesondere der Haupthandgriff und der Seitenhandgriff dreieckförmige Querschnitte mit einer abgerundeten Außenseite aufweisen.In this case, in particular, the main handle and the side handle have triangular cross-sections with a rounded outer side.
Diese Ausgestaltung hat den Vorteil, dass sowohl beim Tragen eines einzelnen Behälters an seinem Haupthandgriff als auch beim Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter durch Umgreifen der beiden Seitenhandgriffe und des angeklappten Haupthandgriffes eine besonders günstige Grifffläche zur Verfügung steht.This embodiment has the advantage that both when carrying a single container at its main handle as well when carrying two adjacent containers by grasping the two side handles and the folded main handle a particularly convenient grip surface is available.
Hierbei kann nämlich der Haupthandgriff in der zweiten Position zusammen mit einem Seitenhandgriff eines benachbarten Behälters zu einer Gesamtstruktur zusammengefügt sein, die eine annähernd durchgehende, gewölbte Tragfläche aufweist, was einen besonders hohen Tragekomfort ermöglicht.In this case, the main handle in the second position, together with a side handle of an adjacent container, can be joined together to form an overall structure which has an approximately continuous curved support surface, which allows a particularly high wearing comfort.
Vorzugsweise weist der Behälter zwei Seitenhandgriffe im Bereich jeweils einer Seitenfläche auf.Preferably, the container has two side handles in the region of a respective side surface.
Hierbei können die beiden Seitenhandgriffe entweder gleiche oder auch unterschiedliche Querschnittsformen aufweisen.Here, the two side handles can have either the same or different cross-sectional shapes.
Bei einer ersten Variante ergibt der Haupthandgriff zusammen mit einem ersten Seitenhandgriff in der zweiten Position etwa den gleichen Gesamtquerschnitt wie ein zweiter Seitenhandgriff eines benachbarten Behälters.In a first variant, the main handle together with a first side handle in the second position gives approximately the same overall cross-section as a second side handle of an adjacent container.
In einer zweiten Variante ergibt der Haupthandgriff zusammen mit einem ersten Seitenhandgriff in der zweiten Position einen Gesamtquerschnitt, der annähernd spiegelverkehrt zu einem Querschnitt eines zweiten Seitenhandgriffes eines benachbarten Behälters ausgebildet ist.In a second variant, the main handle together with a first side handle in the second position results in an overall cross-section which is approximately mirror-inverted to a cross-section of a second side handle of an adjacent container.
Mit beiden Varianten lässt sich ein guter Tragekomfort beim gleichzeitigen Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter erzielen.With both variants, a good wearing comfort while simultaneously carrying two adjacent containers can be achieved.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dem Haupthandgriff ein Mittel zur Begrenzung des Verschwenkwinkels zugeordnet. Hierbei kann es sich beispielsweise um einen Anschlag handeln.According to a further embodiment of the invention, a means for limiting the pivoting angle is assigned to the main handle. This may be, for example, a stop.
Hierdurch wird sichergestellt, dass der Haupthandgriff immer nur zu einem Seitenhandgriff angeklappt werden kann, so dass dieser entsprechend angepasst werden kann.This ensures that the main handle can always be folded to a side handle, so that it can be adjusted accordingly.
In zusätzlicher Weiterbildung dieser Ausführung ist der Haupthandgriff in der ersten Position und/oder in der zweiten Position arretierbar. Hierzu können etwa Rastnasen vorgesehen sein, die mit dem Haupthandgriff zusammen wirken.In an additional development of this embodiment, the main handle can be locked in the first position and / or in the second position. For this purpose, locking lugs may be provided, for example, which interact with the main handle.
Durch die Arretierung des Haupthandgriffes wird ein unerwünschtes Pendeln des Behälters durch eine Schwenkbewegung des Haupthandgriffes vermieden.By locking the main handle an unwanted oscillation of the container is avoided by a pivoting movement of the main handle.
Es versteht sich, dass die vorstehend genannten und die nachstehend noch zu erläuternden Merkmale der Erfindung nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen oder in Alleinstellung verwendbar sind, ohne den Rahmen der Erfindung zu verlassen.It is understood that the features of the invention mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the particular combination indicated, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the scope of the invention.
