Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection system for stackable containers with automatically latching and releasable connecting elements which connect two in the direction of a stacking axis abutting container with each other, wherein the connecting elements are connected to a first container and having a resilient portion with a locking element and the second container holding ribs are arranged for cooperation with these Veniegelungs instituten.
  • Stackable containers of this type are used, for example, as material containers, tool containers or storage and / or transport containers for any goods. Both the individual containers as well as the stacked containers are portable and / or transportable in other ways.
  • the corresponding containers are usually made of plastic, but may also consist of another material, for example metal.
  • Such stackable containers with latching and releasable connecting elements are known in various embodiments.
  • Stackable containers are known for storing and transporting goods in hospitals.
  • the containers described here have on two opposite side walls on connecting elements which automatically engage in the stacking of two containers and can be solved again.
  • connecting elements to U-shaped bent spring elements are present, which are on the one hand attached to the side walls and on the other hand at its free end locking cam exhibit.
  • These locking cams engage in stacked containers in corresponding counterparts on the other container, which adhere the locking cam.
  • the locking cam in this case have an inclined surface, over which a part of the connecting element is resiliently deflected when stacking the container and after reaching the stacked position, the locking cam can engage in the counterparts. To unstack the containers, the locking cams are manually pressed inwards and thereby unlocked.
  • Containers with such connecting elements have the disadvantage that the connecting elements must be mechanically very strong. If two or more containers are stacked and the container stack is raised and transported, for example via a carrying handle on the uppermost container, the load of the lower container is transferred via the connecting elements to the carrying handles on the uppermost container.
  • the whole fasteners and their attachments and brackets must therefore be so strong that they can transmit the whole weight, or corresponding forces. If the containers are filled with heavy goods and several containers are stacked on top of each other, these forces can become very large.
  • Another disadvantage is that the fasteners described can be unintentionally unlocked when the container stack laterally abuts obstacles or protrusions.
  • FIG. 1 Another embodiment of stackable containers is made US-A-5544751 known.
  • the containers described here are made of plastic and the connecting elements are molded integrally on the upper portion of the container. In this case, these connecting elements extend beyond the upper edge of the container and against the interior of the container.
  • the connecting elements have a locking cam on the free end and can be resiliently deflected due to the material elasticity.
  • At the bottom region of each container openings are arranged, in which the connecting elements of an adjacent or lower container can be inserted.
  • In the interior of the upper container holding ribs are arranged in the region of the openings, in which engage the locking cam of the connecting elements.
  • connection system for stackable container in which the weight of the stacked containers including the contents is not transmitted via the connecting elements to the uppermost container in which the connecting elements can not be unlocked unintentionally by external action and at which a container of a stack after unlocking the connecting elements can be raised by means of these connecting elements.
  • the solution should enable a wide range of design solutions and optimum ease of use.
  • the locking elements on the connecting elements on two power transmission surfaces which are spaced apart in the direction of the stack axis and approximately parallel to each other and approximately perpendicular to the stacking axis of the container.
  • Force-receiving ribs are arranged on the first container and cooperate with a first one of the force-transmitting surfaces in the form of a support surface, and on the second container are arranged the holding ribs which cooperate with a second one of the force-transmitting surfaces in the form of a blocking surface.
  • each of the force receiving ribs on the first container and its associated retaining rib on the second container via the locking element of a Connecting element directly to each other.
  • connection elements between the connecting elements and the container form a mechanical guide without power transmission between the containers and only the locking element and the retaining rib and the power transmission rib are formed for this power transmission.
  • the connecting elements and the associated bearing elements can therefore be designed in a lightweight design, since the forces are transmitted in the direction of the stack axis only via the locking elements and the walls of the container with the holding ribs and power transmission ribs.
  • the simple design results in cost savings.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the subject invention provides that the holding ribs are arranged on the second container on a collar of this second container, this collar overlaps an edge region of the first container in stacked containers and the force receiving ribs are arranged on this edge region of the first container.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that no elements of the connecting element itself protrude beyond the contours of a container, but only the collar with the retaining rib, which can be sufficiently strong.
  • the collar may be a structural projection, a protruding tab, a bracket, or other suitable design.
  • At least one pair of connecting elements is arranged on the first container, wherein the two connecting elements of a pair are positioned on opposite side walls and corresponding pairs of holding ribs are arranged on the second container. If necessary, especially in large containers, corresponding connecting elements and retaining ribs can be arranged on all side walls.
  • a spring element is arranged, which presses the locking cam away from the container wall to the outside.
  • This arrangement makes it possible that when stacking containers, the connecting elements can be deflected about the fulcrum and against the spring force from its rest positions.
  • the spring element pushes the locking cam outward on the connecting element and thus into the locking positions between the force-receiving rib on the first container and the holding rib on the second container. This process is automatic and without additional manual intervention.
  • the spring element pushes the lock back into the starting position and thus again into the provision for the next connection.
  • each connecting element is arranged in a depression on the outer surface of a side wall of a container.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that two or more containers are connected to one another via connecting elements.
  • the system does not set a limit. This is limited only by the height and weight.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the locking element consists of a cam, on which the two power transmission surfaces are arranged. But it may also be advantageous if the locking element consists of a C-shaped clasp on which the two power transmission surfaces are arranged.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the connecting element consists of a lever and is pivotally mounted on a storage element in the form of a fulcrum on the first container, wherein the locking element is arranged on an outer, pivotable end of this lever. It proves to be particularly advantageous if the connecting element is designed as a two-armed lever, wherein the locking element is formed on the first lever part and a handle element is formed on the second lever part.
  • the configuration of the connecting element as a two-armed lever has the advantage that the first lever part with the locking cam and the second lever part with the grip element can be designed so that the connecting element can not be unlocked by unintentional action from the outside.
  • the connecting elements must be pulled outwards for unlocking via the grip elements and around the pivot point against the force of the spring element and can not be unlocked by pressing.
  • the connecting element is thereby protected against unwanted unlocking that each of the connecting elements in a trough on the outer surface of a Side wall of the first container is arranged. This is also the case with the two-armed version, which in this solution further enhances safety.
  • the connecting element consists of a slider
  • said slide is mounted on guides on the first container and is displaceable approximately transversely to the stacking axis and the locking element is arranged on an edge region of this slider.
  • the slider may have the shape of a push button.
  • connection system is that the connecting elements can be arranged either on the bottom area of a container or also in the area of the upper edge.
  • One of the advantageous embodiments of the subject invention provides that the connecting elements and the force receiving ribs are arranged in the bottom region of side walls of the first container and on the second container, the holding ribs are formed at the upper edge.
  • another advantageous embodiment of the subject invention provides that the connecting elements and the force-receiving ribs are arranged at the upper region of side walls of the first container and the holding ribs are formed in the bottom region of side walls on the second container.
  • the connecting elements are arranged at the bottom region of a container, in the case of adjacent containers stacked one above the other, the first container is the upper container and the second container is the lower container.
  • the first container is analogously the lower container and the second container is the upper container. In terms of that Connection system, this designation of the container continues even if more than two containers are stacked on top of each other.
  • a free gap is formed, which the distance between the force transmission surfaces in the shape of the support surface and the locking surface on the locking element in the Shape of a cam corresponds.
  • the force transmission rib on the first container and the associated holding rib on the second container are arranged directed against each other and are encompassed in the direction of the stack axis by the locking element in the form of a C-shaped clip.
  • the C-shaped clip has an opening, this opening in the direction of the stack axis of the support surface and the blocking surface is limited and the distance between the support surface and the blocking surface of at least the sum of the height of the holding rib and the height of Force absorption rib corresponds.
