Description

The present invention relates to a transport and storage container for transporting and providing objects, in particular of motor vehicle accessories in the range of mounting bands, a bottom plate, a first end wall and an opposite second end wall, a rear wall, a rear wall opposite the front wall and a bottom plate opposite , pivotally mounted lid, wherein the container in the empty state in its outer dimensions by at least partially pivoting the walls is reduced to each other, including bottom plate and walls and walls are connected to walls by hinges.

Transport containers, as indicated above, are used in a variety of ways to transport a wide variety of items. In particular, such transport containers are used in the automotive industry to transport accessories, assemblies or other parts necessary for mounting a vehicle from the supplier to the automobile manufacturer. On the assembly line of the car manufacturer then such transport containers are set up to take out the parts supplied therein and mounted on the vehicle.

These transport containers must be very stable, so that the transported parts are not damaged. The transport containers must also be reusable in order to use them repeatedly for the intended transport. For this reason, such containers are usually made of metal, whereby they have a significant weight.

Another requirement placed on such containers is compliance with given footprint dimensions; conventional containers, as in the above Used have a length of 1150 mm, a width of 1000 mm and a height of 1000 mm. Also, dimensions of 1200 x 1000 x 1000 or 1200 x 800 x 1000 (each length x width x height) are common. In particular, containers of this size are the subject of the present invention.

Since the emptied containers must be transported back to the supplier, in order to keep the transport costs low, it is necessary that the empty transport and storage containers can be reduced in their outer dimensions, i. they must be disassembled or folded, but at the same time they must not exceed the given basic surface dimension, even when folded or folded.

document US 2001/035412 A1 discloses a transport and storage container according to the preamble of claim 1.

Another requirement placed on such a transport and storage container is that, in addition to a lid opposite the bottom plate, a front wall can also be opened so that the parts provided in the container can be removed on the assembly line. At the same time, these containers must be stackable so that several containers can be placed one above the other during assembly in order then to be able to remove the parts via the respective open front side walls.

Based on the above-described prior art and the corresponding specifications that must meet such transport and storage containers, the present invention seeks to provide a transport and storage container of the type described in such a way that a secure transport of the items is guaranteed in that a simple removal of objects is made possible and that the container can be transported in a space-saving manner even when empty, without having to handle a large number of individual parts.

This object is achieved by a transport and storage container according to claim 1.

Further preferred embodiments of the transport and storage container are specified in the dependent claims.

It is thus provided a transport and storage container having both a lid and front door, so that the corresponding parts to be stowed in the container introduced from above the lid and on the front door opening into the container or taken out of this can be. At the same time it is also possible to collapse the transport and storage container so that it has a much lower height in the folded state and thereby can be transported and stored to save space in the empty state. It is advantageous that all parts, i. the bottom plate, the end walls, the rear wall and the lid and the door leaves are also connected in the folded state, via corresponding hinges. There are no items to handle, either when unfolding the transport and storage container still when folding the container. In addition, the container is designed in its construction, that it can be made in particular of stable materials, such as metal, but still has a relatively low weight, despite high stability, by the structure according to the invention.

In order for the first door leaf to lie flat on the base plate when folding the container, the pivot axis should lie between the bottom plate and the first end wall at a corresponding distance above the plane of the bottom plate. By such a flat support of the individual plates of the container, i. not only the bottom plate and the first end wall, but also the other walls, a lowest possible height is achieved in the folded state.

Furthermore, the pivot axis should lie between the bottom plate and the second end wall at a distance above the plane of the bottom plate, which corresponds approximately to the sum of the thickness of the first end wall and the first door leaf. Thus, the first end wall and the first door can be added under this second end wall and the second door.

Also, the pivot axis between the bottom plate and the rear wall should be at a distance above the plane of the bottom plate, which is about the sum of Thickness of the first end wall and the first door leaf and the thickness of the second end wall and the second door leaf corresponds, so that the back side wall and lid can lay flat on the underlying second end wall.

In order to achieve the corresponding position of the pivot axis of the first end wall, the pivot axis is formed at the upper edge of a fixed, connected to the bottom plate portion of the first end wall.

The same applies to the pivot axis of the second end wall, which is preferably formed at the upper edge of a fixed, connected to the bottom plate portion of the second end wall.

Also, preferably, the pivot axis of the rear side wall should be formed at the upper edge of a fixed, connected to the bottom plate portion of the rear side wall by corresponding parts.

In order to close the container during transport in its unfolded state, the respective door wings are each locked to the bottom plate on the one hand and the lid on the other hand by at least one lock. In a simple form, this lock is formed by two bolts, top and bottom of the door, which engage in the bottom plate and the lid, respectively.

Also, a container stiffening latch can be provided, which braces the bottom plate against the lid. Such a lock can be formed by a pivotally mounted on the door swing arm.

Such a pivot arm then preferably engages with its ends in each case a locking lug on the bottom plate and on the lid.

To make this swivel arm structurally simple, the pivot point of the swivel arm should be located approximately at half the height of the door leaf.

As already mentioned, it is an unavoidable requirement that such a transport and storage container in the folded state, the Grundflächenmaß, which is predetermined by the bottom plate, in projection on the Bottom plate does not exceed. This is not the case if the height of the rear wall, which is folded over, is less than the width of the lid. In such a case, then the lid pivoted on the outside of the back wall with its edge over the back wall, on the side of the rear side wall, where the hinge is located before. As a result, the Grundflächenmaß is exceeded by the projecting part of the lid. To avoid this condition, the pivot axis between the rear wall and lid is formed by at least one corresponding hinge associated with the lid, and this hinge with the lid is held in a guide arrangement on the rear wall so that the hinge separates from the associated longitudinal edge of the lid Rear side wall is spaced. This means that with such an arrangement, the lid folded onto the outside of the back wall can be displaced such that the edge of the region of the lid projecting beyond the basic surface dimension closes with the edge of the bottom plate.

Such a guide arrangement can be formed by two rods which are each guided in a sleeve assigned to the rear wall.

The two rods can be formed by the free ends of a U-shaped bracket, wherein the transverse ends connecting the two ends of the U-shaped bracket is associated with the lid.

It is also possible to divide the lid into two parts, which are connected to a hinge, so that the projecting over the basic dimension of the lid can be folded in the folded state inwards on the other cover part. As a result, however, the height of the folded transport and storage container increases by the thickness of the folded lid part.

In order to provide a stable connection between the door wings and the associated end walls, the respective pivotal connection between the first end wall and the first door and between the second end wall and the second door is formed by a tubular arrangement, with a thicker pipe section, the door leaf is assigned, and a thinner Pipe section, which is assigned to the end wall. The thin pipe section, which is associated with the end wall, is held only at its upper and lower ends, so that the thick pipe section with the attached door can rotate freely around the thin pipe section.

In order to increase the stability of the container even more, reinforcing plates can be arranged in the corner regions of the bottom plate and the side walls, the rear wall and the door leaf.

Furthermore, it is preferable to choose the length of the thicker pipe section so that it is less than the height of the side edge of the door leaf or the end wall; thereby the door can be raised and lowered again, for example, to release it from corresponding locking parts or to bring back with such locking parts in engagement. If the container has the above-mentioned reinforcing plates, the thick tube section should have a length which corresponds to the length of the side edge of the end wall minus the height of these reinforcing plates, so that the thick tube section of the door leaf can be raised above the reinforcing plate. As a result, for example, the door can be released from a lock with the reinforcing plate.

In order to be able to stack containers safely one above the other, but also to be able to detect them with forklifts, foot parts are formed on the underside of the bottom plate, which rest on the inside of a rim formed on the outside of the lid, with containers stacked one above the other; Here, an edge height of a few millimeters is sufficient.

the right side of the container FIG. 1 in a slightly enlarged view to show the connection between the front wall and the one door, and

FIG. 6

three collapsed containers, as well as in FIG. 2 can be seen in a stacked arrangement.

The transport container, as shown in the figures, in particular in the FIG. 1 is shown in a perspective, schematic representation, has a bottom plate 1, a first end wall 2, a second end wall 3, a rear wall 4, a first and a second door 5, 6 and a cover 7. The bottom plate 1 has at the bottom in each case in the corners of feet 8 such that the bottom plate 1 is held with a sufficient distance above a floor to accommodate the transport and storage container with a mobile stacker and can settle.

To the transport and storage container, as in FIG. 1 can be seen to fold, the respective, listed above parts of the container with hinges are held as follows. The in FIG. 1 right, first door 5 is pivotally connected to a hinge 9 in the direction of the pivot arrow 10 and 11 such that the first door 5 can be placed flat on the inside of the first end wall 2. A special hinge arrangement for pivoting the door leaf 5 on the end wall 2 is shown in FIG FIG. 5 and will be explained below.

It should be noted that, as far as in the figures of hinges is spoken, in the figures, only the corresponding pivot axes are shown

Furthermore, the in FIG. 1 left, second door 6 with the second end wall 3 about a hinge 12 in the direction of the pivot member 13 and pivot 14 so pivotally, that this door 6, corresponding to the door 5, on the inside of the second end wall 3 can be brought to bear.

The first end wall 2 is pivotable about a hinge 15 in the direction of the pivoting arrow 16 or of the pivoting arrow 17 toward the base plate 1. The same applies to the second end wall 3, which is pivotable about a pivot axis 18 in the direction of the pivot arrow 19 and 20 respectively. As based on the FIG. 1 can be seen, the hinge 18 is located with its axis higher above the bottom plate 1 than the hinge 15 of the first end wall. This is achieved by a corresponding edge strips 21 and 22, which forms part of the respective end wall and is firmly connected to the bottom plate 1. As will be apparent from the further description, the edge strip 21, which is associated with the first end wall 2, omitted when the hinge 15 is formed accordingly.

Finally, the rear side wall 4 on the bottom plate 1 and on an edge strip 23 which is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1 and forms part of the rear side wall 4, via a hinge 24 which is pivotable about the pivot axis 25 held. The lid 7 is connected to the upper edge of the rear side wall 4 by means of a hinge 26 which can be pivoted in the direction of the pivot arrow 270 outwards by 270 ° so that the lid 7 hangs with its outside on the outside of the rear side wall 4.

To the transport container of FIG. 1 collapse, first the two door leaves 5, 6 are unlocked. Each door 5, 6 may be associated with a lock, for example, by a pivot arm, which is held in its center and in the middle of the height of the door leaf 5, 6 about a pivot point, and the respective hooked ends of such a pivot arm can in retaining projections, which are assigned to the bottom plate 1 on the one hand and the lid 7 on the other hand, be locked. To release the lock, the two pivot arms are in the respective positions, as in FIG. 1 to be seen, panned.

In FIG. 1 a latch is shown in which in the region of the front edge of the lid 7, two lateral locking slide 28 are arranged, which lock on corresponding retaining projections 30 which are fixed to the side walls. When the lid 7 is locked to the side walls, the two doors 5, 6 are locked at the same time on the lid 7, including, for example, can be provided at the front edge of the lid tabs, which overlap the door 5, 6 outside.

After the latches are released, first the right, first door 5 is pivoted to the inside of the first end wall 2. Thereafter, the end wall 2 is pivoted about the hinge 15 around, with the underlying first door 5, to the bottom plate 1 and placed on the bottom plate 1. This arrangement of base plate 1, first door 5 and first end wall 2 is in FIG. 2 to see. Thereafter, the left, second door 6 is pivoted to the inside of the second end side wall 3, after which the second end wall 3 is pivoted about the hinge 18 to the bottom plate 1 out. As a result, the second door leaf 6, which adjoins the second end side wall 3, comes to rest on the first end wall 2, with the second end wall 3 located above it. Then the cover 7 is pivoted about the hinge 26 onto the outside of the rear side wall 4 and then subsequently the rear side wall 4 is pivoted together with the outer lid 7 about the hinge 24 in the direction of the bottom plate 1. The rear side wall 4 thereby comes to rest on the second end side wall 3, while the cover 7 above the rear side wall 4 lies. This results in a folded state of the transport and storage container, as in FIG. 2 you can see. It should be noted that the location of the individual surface parts of the transport container of the FIG. 1 in FIG. 2 for better illustration, are shown as thin lines, with respective distances therebetween; However, it should be understood that the individual parts preferably lie flat against each other in order to achieve the lowest possible height of the container in its folded state. The height of the container can, compared to its unfolded state, as in FIG. 1 is shown to be reduced to about one third of its height in the folded state.

In FIG. 3 Now, the bottom plate 1 of the container from the direction of the arrow IIIA in FIG. 1 with the edge strip 23, the folded inward rear wall 4 and the outside of the back wall 4 folded lid 7 shown. Based on FIG. 3A It can be seen that with the same dimensions of the width of the bottom plate 1 and the height of the rear wall 4 including the edge strip 23 when the lid 7, which has a width corresponding to the bottom plate 1, folded on the back wall 4 rests, the cover 7 outside protrudes beyond the bottom plate 1. This is because the rear side wall 4, due to the edge strip 23, is shorter than the corresponding dimension of the lid 7. On the other hand, the edge strip 23 of the rear side wall 4 is required to the rear side wall 4 in a plane above the two end side walls 3 and 4 with the connected door leaves 5 and 6 to bring, as the FIG. 2 shows and explained above. Since such over the base of the bottom plate 1 protruding cover 7 is not acceptable due to transport and space requirements, the lid 7, relative to the rear wall 4, held displaceable in the direction of arrow 43, in the region of the pivot axis 26, so that the lid 7 can be moved into such a position in which its free edge 31 terminates with the edge of the bottom plate 1 or directly above the edge strip 23. As a result, even in the folded state of the transport container whose Grundflächenmaß, given by the bottom plate 1, not exceeded.

To allow such a displacement of the lid 7, shows FIG. 4 an embodiment in which the lid 7 and its hinge 26 is held on a U-shaped bracket 32. The two free legs 33 of the U-shaped bracket 32 are in sleeve parts 34 which is fixedly secured to the rear wall 4, out. By this guide or the corresponding greater length of the free leg 33 of the U-shaped bracket 32 over the length of the sleeves 34 addition, the cover 7 can be moved in the direction of the arrow 43 until the thickened ends of the legs 33 of the bracket 32 at reach the end faces of the sleeves 34 to the plant.

The displacement of the cover 7 relative to the rear side wall 4 can also be solved in other ways; However, the displacement mechanism should be kept as flat as possible in order not to increase the overall height of the transport container in the folded state too much.

In FIG. 5 the hinge connection 9 between the right, first side wall 2 and the right, first door 5 is shown. This hinge connection is formed by a thin tube or rod 35 and a thick tube 36 pushed over it. The thin rod 35 is part of the first end wall 2 and is held between an upper bar 37 and a lower bar 38 at its ends. Between the thin rod 35 and the wall plate of the end wall 2, a small gap 39 is left so as not to hinder the rotation of the thick tube 36. On the thick tube 36, the door 5 is fixed, so that the door leaf 5 with the guided around thin rod 35 tube 36 is pivotable, as described above with reference to FIG. 1 is explained. In FIG. 5 It can also be seen that the tube 36 is shorter than the rod 35, by a length corresponding to the height of reinforcing plates 40, which stiffen the lower corner portion of the transport container and are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1. In order to pivot the door leaf 5, locking parts can be provided, which only then release from a corresponding engagement when the door leaf 5, before a pivoting movement, is lifted upwards in the direction of the arrow 41. Such locking parts can be provided directly in the region of the reinforcing plates 40, or between the lower edge of the door leaf 5 and the bottom plate. 1

Based on FIG. 2 It can be seen that the cover 7 has a raised edge, or edge parts, designated by the reference numeral 42 has. This edge 42 serves as in FIG. 6 is shown, individual transport containers, in particular in their folded state, stacked to arrange so that they can not move to each other. Because of this edge 42 but also both folded transport containers and transport containers that are unfolded, and also filled with objects, can be stacked. Based on FIG. 6 It can also be seen that about three of the folded transport containers occupy the space of an unfolded transport container.

Essential for the transport container, the type in question, as described above, is the principle of how his individual parts can be folded so that they save space, not exceed the basic size, but also in the unfolded state are very stable and especially suitable for being made of metal.
