Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such containers are especially known for use in fast food restaurants. They are used to hold foods, such as sandwiches or burgers. After the sandwich or burger has been placed in the bottom part of the container, the lid of the container is closed and the closed container is handed over to the customer.
- GB 2 359 295 A shows a container in box form of various wall parts, wherein certain connecting tabs are provided, which are connectable to each other by a locking mechanism for erecting the container from a flat blank.
- adhesive is used to connect corresponding tabs.
- DE 2 001 499 A1 discloses a carton according to the preamble of claim 1, which is unfolded shortly before its use in a ready-to-use form. One part of the tabs is then fastened, while another part is freely movable.
- US 2,692,722 discloses a container with a corresponding attachment of the container walls in an upright position, but the container is for disposal or the like in a flat position compressible.
- US 5,603,450 relates to a box with lid part, wherein the wall parts in particular of the carton are folded outwards, for example, to be able to consume a food directly from the formed flat part can.
- US 2,982,465 discloses a further container with adhered on an inner side of wall parts connecting straps.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a container available, which is structurally simple as possible, all these requirements.
- the present invention is characterized in that at least one of the side wall panels of the bottom part is pivotable about the edge of the bottom panel connecting this side wall panel and the bottom panel.
- this side wall panel can therefore be pivotable between a folded-up position, in which the bottom part is closed box-shaped for the transport of the food, and a folded or folded down position.
- the side wall panel could be aligned, in particular, with the bottom part, the food can be guided into the bottom part particularly well or removed from the bottom part; because in this position, the bottom part is not only accessible vertically from above, but it also receives a lateral access through the folded down side wall.
- each unfolded side wall panel in the folded-out position is aligned with the bottom panel or has only a small angle of inclination relative to the bottom panel.
- the bottom panel and the folded sidewall panels effectively form a tray for the food, the area of the tray being that of the bottom panel plus the areas of the folded-out sidewall panels.
- a connection tab is provided between two adjacent side wall panels. Such a connection tab has several advantages.
- the tabs serve to at least partially seal the contact edges between two adjacent side wall panels in a folded position of the bottom part to prevent falling out or dripping of parts of the food.
- the connecting tabs in the unfolded, tray-like position of the bottom portion may serve to further increase the area of the tray.
- a connecting lug may in particular also be provided at each corner, on which two side wall screens of the bottom part are adjacent to one another.
- the connecting plate projects in an approximately box-shaped position of the bottom part obliquely into the interior of the bottom part. In this way, the container can be better closed because the connection tab does not protrude on the outside of the bottom part.
- the connection tab can fill in the interior of the bottom part further, advantageous tasks.
- the connecting strap preferably has a predetermined bending line along the bisecting line between the two adjacent side wall panels. This facilitates the folding of the connecting tab when the side wall panel is pivoted relative to the bottom panel.
- a recess At the outer edge of a connecting tab, i. provided on the edge facing away from the bottom edge of the connecting strap, a recess. If the corresponding side wall panels are swung up in relation to the bottom panel, the connecting tab projects into the interior of the bottom part and has the recess there. This recess can now serve to attach a recorded in the container Good, such as a food.
- the recess can be arranged approximately in the middle region of the outer edge of a connecting plate, preferably symmetrically to the bisector between the two adjacent side wall panels. This results in the two portions of the recess lying on the opposite sides of the bisectors when the connecting tab protrudes into the interior of the bottom part, in this way together to form an enlarged recess.
- the recess is positioned at half the height of the side wall panels in relation to the ground field when the side wall panels are swung up in relation to the ground panel. If a food is then fixed in the recess, this has the advantage, in particular in the case of heated or even hot foods, that they are kept at a distance from the bottom field. Thus, an air gap remains between the food and the soil field, which thermally isolates the food from the soil field. This keeps the food warm longer and improves the handling of the container for the user.
- the dimensions of the bottom field approximately correspond to the dimensions of the cover panel, or they are at least partially slightly smaller than the cover panel. In this way, the container can be made particularly well in a closed position in which the lid part covers the bottom part.
- the three flanks of the lid part are fastened to each other so that they are each approximately perpendicular to the lid field.
- the lid part is particularly stable, and he gets a box-shaped configuration in which he can overlap the bottom part.
- each two adjacent flanks of the cover part are glued together.
- other types of connection were conceivable.
- At least one flank of the cover part is provided with a crease line along the angle bisector between the connecting edges of this flank to the cover panel and the connecting edge of this flank to the adjacent flank. This makes it possible to fold or swivel the corresponding flank into a position lying flat on the cover panel, so that it takes up less space.
- flanks of the cover part are provided with a respective bending line along the bisecting line between the connecting edge of the respective flank to the cover panel and the connecting edge of the respective flank to the adjacent flank.
- This has the advantage that the two opposite flanks are pivotable in a flat resting on the blanket field position, whereby they transfer this movement over the bending line on the middle edge, so that it is also folded flat on the lid field.
- the cover part is foldable overall in a flat position in which all its components lie flat on each other.
- One way to form crease lines is to provide a perforation in the material of the container at the appropriate location of the container. This is a technically easy to implement way to specify the course of the bending line and to facilitate the buckling of this line by the material weakening.
- the container is foldable in a closed position in which the bottom part assumes a box-shaped position and in which the lid part engages over the bottom part.
- This has the advantage that the lid part prevents the swinging of the side wall panels of the bottom part by the overlapping of the bottom part and thus ensures the whereabouts of the bottom part in the box-shaped position.
- the contained in the container Good can be transported without the risk that the container unfolds unintentionally.
- flanks of the cover part are arranged approximately plane-parallel to and outside the side walls of the box-shaped bottom part.
- the corresponding side walls of the bottom part are doubled by the flanks, which may still be an air gap in the interior of the double walls. Both significantly improve the heat insulation of the container.
- a further, advantageous embodiment consists in that a side wall panel is connected at a first edge to the cover panel and at an edge opposite this first edge to the bottom panel.
- the axis about which the lid part is pivotable relative to the bottom part is located at an upper edge of a side wall of the box-shaped bottom part. From there, the lid part can be pivoted particularly easily into a position that overlaps the bottom part.
- At least one flank of the cover part is provided with a handle recess. It allows the user to take in the closed position of the container with at least one finger the bottom part, so that it can be held while the lid part is pivoted relative to the bottom part.
- the handle recess is provided at the end of a flank adjacent to the edge connecting the cover part and the bottom part. In this way, it is ensured that the handle recess is positioned as close as possible to the pivot axis connecting the cover part and the bottom part, which is particularly advantageous for handling the container, in particular for swiveling the cover part.
- a technically simple and also aesthetically satisfactory possibility for forming the handle recess is to round off a corner on the corresponding flank.
- a further improvement of the container according to the invention is that at least one side wall of the bottom part has a locking tab, which in a closed position of the container in a closure opening or a closure pocket on the lid part is inserted.
- the engagement between the locking tab and the closure opening or closure pocket ensures that in the closed position of the container, the freedom of movement of the cover part is limited relative to the bottom part, so that the container retains its closed position safer.
- the container is formed from a one-piece blank.
- a one-piece blank would have the advantage of easier and faster production.
- the blank could be e.g. be produced by a punching tool.
- the production could also be simplified in that the container is formed from a symmetrical blank.
- a material for the container are basically a variety of different materials conceivable, not only foldable materials. However, to facilitate handling of the container and its manufacture, foldable materials such as plastic, paper, cardboard or other cellulosic materials are preferred.
- Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a flat blank 1 for a preferred embodiment of a container according to the invention 2.
- the blank is preferably made of a foldable material such as paper or cardboard.
- the blank may for example be punched out of a larger area of this material.
- the in Fig. 1 blank 1 shown a pivot edge 3.
- the container 2 is integrally formed by cover part 4 and bottom part 5 are each part of a single blank 1.
- the cover part 4 has centrally a rectangular, in particular square cover panel 6, which later forms the top or the lid surface of the container 2 in a closed state of the container 2.
- the pivot edge 3 which is one of the side edges of the cover panel 6, the cover panel 6 is pivotally connected to the bottom part 5.
- the pivot edge 3 can serve as a pivot axis.
- the cover panel 6 with flanks 10, 11, 12 is connected, with two mutually opposite side flanks 10, 12 and a central edge 11, which is the pivoting edge 3 exactly opposite.
- the two lateral flanks 10, 12 each have an adhesive tab 13, 14, which are separated by incisions 15, 16 from the middle edge 11.
- the bottom part 5 has a central bottom panel 17, which is also rectangular, here in particular square. At its four edges 18, 19, 20, 21, the bottom panel 17 is connected to a side wall panel 22, 23, 24, 25 so that the bottom panel 17 and the side panel panels 22, 23, 24, 25 form a cross shape as a whole. Between each adjacent pair of sidewall panels, a connecting tab 26 is provided. Each connecting strap 26 has a substantially triangular shape with two side wall edges 27, 28, at which the connecting strap 26 each touches an adjacent Thiswandfetd 22, 23, 24, 25, and a remote from the bottom panel 17 outer edge 29. In its central region is at the outer edge 29, a recess 30 is provided. This recess 30, which is approximately semicircular here, is arranged symmetrically to the two adjacent side wall panels 22, 23, 24, 25.
- each segment-shaped cuts 31, 32 may be provided in order to promote a buckling of the connecting straps 26 along the side wall edges 27, 28.
- each connecting strap 26 is provided along the bisecting line between the adjacent side wall panels 22, 23, 24, 25 with a predetermined bending line 33, the course of which may be predetermined in particular by a perforation.
- Each of the side wall panels 22, 23, 24, 25 is in the illustrated embodiment about the common edge 18, 19, 20, 21 opposite the bottom panel 17 pivotally.
- the side wall panel 25 closest to the cover part 4 adjoins the bottom panel 17 via an edge 21, while the edge 21 of the side wall panel 25 lying opposite the edge 21 is the pivoting edge 3 which pivotally connects the cover part 4 to the bottom part 5.
- a small gradation 34 can be seen on both sides of the blank.
- This obliquely formed gradation 34 has the consequence that a longitudinal dimension of the bottom panel 17 is slightly smaller than a corresponding dimension of the cover panel 6. This later favors the inclusion of the bottom part 5 in the lid part 4 in a closed position of the container. 2
- Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the container 2 according to the invention, which consists of the in Fig. 1 formed blank was formed.
- the two lateral, opposite flanks 10, 12 of the cover part 4 were pivoted by 90 ° relative to the cover panel 6 upwards.
- the adhesive tabs 13, 14 were pivoted by 90 ° onto the cover panel 6 until they were aligned parallel with the edge 8 of the cover panel 6.
- the middle edge 11 was folded up so that they are both perpendicular to the two adjacent flanks 10, 12, and vertically to cover field 6 stands.
- An adhesive bond between the adhesive tabs 13, 14 and the middle flank 10 secures the three flanks 10, 11, 12 permanently together and ensures that the cover part 4 in the in Fig. 2 shown position remains, in which each flank 10, 11, 12 is aligned perpendicular to the ceiling field 6 respectively.
- the lateral flanks 10, 12 each have a rounding 35 with a wide radius of curvature.
- the rounding 35 is provided at that end of the lateral flanks 10, 12 which is closest to the pivot edge 3 connecting the lid part 4 and the bottom part 5.
- the rounding 35 here has a radius of curvature which corresponds exactly to the height of the respective flank 10, 12 with respect to the cover panel 6.
- the rounded portions 35 later serve to provide a handle recess on the cover part 4.
- Fig. 2 is the bottom part 5 in the same, flat position as in Fig.1 ,
- the side wall panels 22, 23, 24, 25 and the connecting plates 26 are in a common plane in which the lid panel 6 is located.
- the components of the bottom part 5 form a "tray", ie a flat surface.
- Fig. 3 shows the already in Fig. 2 shown container 2. Unlike Fig. 2 shows Fig. 3 However, a position in which three side wall panels 22, 23, 24 of the bottom part 5 have been pivoted or folded around the corresponding edges 18, 19, 20 relative to the bottom panel 17 that they are each perpendicular to the bottom panel 17. To effect this, starting from the "tablet position" in FIG Fig. 2 - First, the two opposing lateral side wall panels 22, 24 are pivoted by 90 ° upwards. Subsequently, the middle side wall panel 23 is also pivoted by 90 ° upwards. During this movement, the two connecting straps 26 adjacent to the side wall panel 23 fold so that their bending lines 33 face the interior of the bottom part 5.
- Fig. 4 shows a vertical section through the in Fig. 3 shown embodiment of a container 2 according to the invention at the in Fig. 3 with IV-IV designated position. It can be seen here that the side wall panels 22, 24 are pivoted about the edges 18 and 20 relative to the bottom panel 17 so that they are approximately perpendicular to the bottom panel 17. In this position, the bottom part 5 assumes an approximately box-shaped position, wherein the bottom of the box through the bottom panel 17 and the side walls of the box through the side wall panels 22, 24 are formed.
- the connecting straps 26 project obliquely into the interior of the box-shaped bottom part 5. Since the recesses 30 are arranged in the middle region of the outer edges 29 of the connecting straps, the recess 30 is in the box-shaped position of the bottom part 5 shown here approximately at half the height of the side wall panels 22, 24th
- an object 36 for example a food
- It may be z. B. to act a sandwich or a burger. Since the object 36 is clamped between the recesses 30, it can not move in the bottom part 5. In particular, therefore, he can not fall down on the ground field 17.
- An air gap 37 thus remains between the article 36 and the bottom field 17.
- the air gap 37 can serve for the thermal insulation of the article 36 relative to the container 2. This has the advantage that the article 36 cools more slowly, and that the walls 17, 22, 24 of the container 2 are not heated and can be more easily grasped by a user.
- Fig. 5 shows the container 2 according to the invention in a closed position.
- the bottom part 5 is formed into a box by all its side wall panels 22, 23, 24, 25 have been swung by 90 ° relative to the bottom panel 17.
- a connection tab 26 protrudes into the interior of the bottom part 5 and can therefore be an object 36 in the in Fig. 4 shown type in the bottom part 5 hold.
- the cover part 4 has then been pivoted about the pivoting edge 3 over the box-shaped bottom part 5 over that the cover part 4 engages over the bottom part 5.
- the overlapping is facilitated by the fact that due to the gradations 34, the cross-sectional dimensions of the bottom part 5 are slightly smaller than those of the cover part.
- 4 In the closed position of the container 2 are on three side walls of the container 2, a flank of the lid part 4 and a side wall panel of the bottom part 5 plane-parallel one above the other.
- the flank 10 lies plane-parallel over the side wall panel 24, the middle flank 11 is plane-parallel over the side wall panel 23 and the lateral flank 12 is plane-parallel over the side wall panel 22.
- Fig. 6 shows a second embodiment of a container according to the invention 2. It differs in two points from the preceding embodiment, wherein both points can be realized independently of each other on a container 2.
- a first difference between the in Fig. 6 shown container 2 and the previous embodiment is that the container 2 in Fig. 6 having a locking mechanism.
- a closure tab 39 is integrally formed on the edge of the side wall panel 23 facing away from the bottom panel 17. It has an elongated shape and lies in a plane with the side wall panel 23rd
- a closure pocket 40 is provided, with which the locking tab 39 can engage.
- the closure pocket 40 is formed by an incision in the adhesive tabs 13, 14, through which the locking tab 39 can enter into a gap between the adhesive tabs 13, 14 and the middle flank 11, when the Cover part 4 is pivoted about the bottom part 5 in a closed position of the container 2. It would also be conceivable that a closure opening is formed by an incision in the edge 8 between the cover part 6 and the middle flank 11, wherein the closure flap 39 can then engage with this closure opening.
- the two opposing side flanks 10, 12 of the cover part 4 are each provided with a crease line 41.
- the crease lines 41 are respectively arranged along the bisecting line between the connecting edge 7, 9 of the respective edge to the cover panel 6 and the connecting edge of the flank 10, 12 to its associated adhesive tab 13, 14.
- the course of the bending line 41 can be predetermined, for example, by a perforation.
- the respective flank 10, 12 can be folded so that the flank 10, 12 rests flat on the cover panel 6.
- this folding movement is transmitted to the middle edge 11, that this also pivots about the edge 8 relative to the cover panel and passes into a position lying flat on the cover panel 6 position.
- the glue flaps 13, 14 are still glued to the middle flank 11, the container 2 can thus be folded into a completely flat position. In this position, the containers can be stacked and transported very well.
- the container 2 can be modified in many ways.
- the container 2 is not limited to a food use. Instead, other items 36 may be received in the container 2 and transported.
- the container 2 is not limited to the cuboid shape shown here. It would be conceivable, for example, that the shape of the lid and bottom panels 6, 17 is a circle, a triangle, a polygon or any other geometric figure. The shapes of the blanket field 6 and the bottom panel 17 do not even have to correspond. Of course, then increases or decreases, the number of side walls.
- the bottom part prefferably has only one side wall panel 22, 23, 24, 25, which is pivotable relative to the bottom panel 17, while the position of the remaining side wall panels is fixed to the bottom panel 17. This already offers advantages because pivoting the pivotable side wall panel facilitates access to an object 36 located in the container 2.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Behälter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1.
Solche Behälter sind insbesondere für die Verwendung in Fastfood-Restaurants bekannt. Sie dienen zur Aufnahme von Lebensmitteln, beispielsweise von Sandwiches oder Burgern. Nachdem das Sandwich oder der Burger in den Bodenteil des Behälters hineingelegt wurde, wird der Deckel des Behälters geschlossen und der geschlossene Behälter dem Kunden übergeben.Such containers are especially known for use in fast food restaurants. They are used to hold foods, such as sandwiches or burgers. After the sandwich or burger has been placed in the bottom part of the container, the lid of the container is closed and the closed container is handed over to the customer.
Es ist durchaus üblich, dass Kunden die Fastfood-Lebensmittel nicht bereits im Fastfood-Restaurant selbst essen, sondern die Lebensmittel zunächst noch an einen anderen Ort transportieren oder sie unterwegs essen. Die Behälter müssen daher nicht nur eine schnelle und einfache Befüllung erlauben, sondern sie sollen darüber hinaus auch einen sicheren (insbesondere tropffreien) Transport der Lebensmittel ermöglichen und anschließend eine möglichst gute Handhabung der Lebensmittel beim Essen erlauben.It is quite common that customers do not already eat fast food in the fast food restaurant themselves, but first transport the food to another location or eat it on the way. The containers must therefore not only allow a quick and easy filling, but they should also allow a safe (especially drip-free) transport of food and then allow the best possible handling of the food while eating.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Behälter zur Verfügung zu stellen, der mit konstruktiv möglichst einfachen Mitteln all diesen Anforderungen gerecht wird.Object of the present invention is to provide a container available, which is structurally simple as possible, all these requirements.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Behälter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.This object is achieved by a container having the features of claim 1.
Die vorliegende Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass mindestens eines der Seitenwandfelder des Bodenteils um die dieses Seitenwandfeld und das Bodenfeld verbindende Kante des Bodenfeldes schwenkbar ist. Insbesondere kann dieses Seitenwandfeld daher schwenkbar sein zwischen einer hochgeklappten Stellung, in der das Bodenteil für den Transport des Lebensmittels kastenförmig geschlossen ist, und einer herausgeklappten bzw. heruntergeklappten Stellung. In dieser heruntergeklappten Stellung, in der das Seitenwandfeld insbesondere mit dem Bodenteil fluchten könnte, kann das Lebensmittel besonders gut in den Bodenteil hineingeführt bzw. aus dem Bodenteil entnommen werden; denn in dieser Stellung ist der Bodenteil nicht nur senkrecht von oben zugänglich, sondern er erhält durch die heruntergeklappte Seitenwand auch einen seitlichen Zugang.The present invention is characterized in that at least one of the side wall panels of the bottom part is pivotable about the edge of the bottom panel connecting this side wall panel and the bottom panel. In particular, this side wall panel can therefore be pivotable between a folded-up position, in which the bottom part is closed box-shaped for the transport of the food, and a folded or folded down position. In this folded-down position, in which the side wall panel could be aligned, in particular, with the bottom part, the food can be guided into the bottom part particularly well or removed from the bottom part; because in this position, the bottom part is not only accessible vertically from above, but it also receives a lateral access through the folded down side wall.
Noch besser ist es, wenn zwei, drei oder vier der Seitenwandfelder um die das jeweilige Seitenwandfeld und das Bodenfeld verbindende Kante des Bodenfeldes schwenkbar sind. Zum einen werden auf diese Weise zusätzliche Zugangsmöglichkeiten zum Inneren des Bodenteils geschaffen. Zum anderen wäre es denkbar, dass jedes ausgeklappte Seitenwandfeld in der herausgeklappten Stellung mit dem Bodenfeld fluchtet bzw. lediglich einen geringen Neigungswinkel relativ zum Bodenfeld aufweist. In diesem Fall bilden das Bodenfeld und die herausgeklappten Seitenwandfelder gewissermaßen ein Tablett für das Lebensmittel, wobei die Fläche des Tabletts diejenige des Bodenfeldes zuzüglich der Flächen der herausgeklappten Seitenwandfelder ist. Zwischen zwei benachbarten Seitenwandfeldern ist eine Verbindungslasche vorgesehen. Eine solche Verbindungslasche hat verschiedene Vorteile. Zum einen kann sie dazu dienen, die Bewegung eines Seitenwandfeldes beim Ein- oder Ausschwenken auf das benachbarte Seitenwandfeld zu übertragen, so dass dieses an der Bewegung teilnimmt. Zum zweiten dienen die Laschen dazu, in einer zusammengefalteten Stellung des Bodenteils die Kontaktkanten zwischen zwei benachbarten Seitenwandfeldern zumindest teilweise abzudichten, um das Herausfallen oder Heraustropfen von Teilen des Lebensmittels zu verhindern. Zum dritten können die Verbindungslaschen in der aufgefalteten, tablettartigen Stellung des Bodenteils dazu dienen, die Fläche des Tabletts weiter zu vergrößern. Eine Verbindungslasche kann insbesondere auch an jeder Ecke vorgesehen sein, an der zwei Seitenwandfeider des Bodenteils zueinander benachbart sind. Die Verbindungslasche ragt in einer etwa kastenförmigen Stellung des Bodenteils schräg in das innere des Bodenteils hinein. Auf diese Weise kann der Behälter besser verschlossen werden, weil die Verbindungslasche nicht auf der Außenseite des Bodenteils hervorsteht. Darüber hinaus kann die Verbindungslasche im Inneren des Bodenteils weitere, vorteilhafte Aufgaben verfüllen.It is even better if two, three or four of the side wall panels are pivotable about the edge of the bottom panel connecting the respective side wall panel and the bottom panel. On the one hand, additional access to the interior of the bottom part is created in this way. On the other hand, it would be conceivable that each unfolded side wall panel in the folded-out position is aligned with the bottom panel or has only a small angle of inclination relative to the bottom panel. In this case, the bottom panel and the folded sidewall panels effectively form a tray for the food, the area of the tray being that of the bottom panel plus the areas of the folded-out sidewall panels. Between two adjacent side wall panels a connection tab is provided. Such a connection tab has several advantages. On the one hand, it can serve to transmit the movement of a sidewall field when swiveling in or out on the adjacent sidewall field, so that it participates in the movement. Secondly, the tabs serve to at least partially seal the contact edges between two adjacent side wall panels in a folded position of the bottom part to prevent falling out or dripping of parts of the food. Third, the connecting tabs in the unfolded, tray-like position of the bottom portion may serve to further increase the area of the tray. A connecting lug may in particular also be provided at each corner, on which two side wall screens of the bottom part are adjacent to one another. The connecting plate projects in an approximately box-shaped position of the bottom part obliquely into the interior of the bottom part. In this way, the container can be better closed because the connection tab does not protrude on the outside of the bottom part. In addition, the connection tab can fill in the interior of the bottom part further, advantageous tasks.
Die größte Fläche erhält dieses "Tablett" dann, wenn das gesamte Bodenteil in eine ebene Stellung auffaltbar ist, indem insbesondere sämtliche Seitenwandfelder des Bodenteils gegenüber dem Bodenfeld schwenkbar bzw. aufklappbar sind. Je größer das so gebildete Tablett ist, desto besser kann es verhindern, dass Teile des Lebensmittels wie beispielsweise Soßen oder Ähnliches aus dem Behälter herausfallen bzw. fließen.The largest area receives this "tray" when the entire bottom part is folded into a flat position, in particular by all side wall panels of the bottom part relative to the bottom panel are pivotable or hinged. The larger the tray thus formed, the better it can prevent parts of the food such as sauces or the like from falling out of the container.
Vorzugsweise weist die Verbindungslasche entlang der Winkelhalbierenden zwischen den beiden benachbarten Seitenwandfeldern eine vorgegebene Knicklinie auf. Dies erleichtert das Einfalten der Verbindungslasche, wenn das Seitenwandfeld gegenüber dem Bodenfeld verschwenkt wird.The connecting strap preferably has a predetermined bending line along the bisecting line between the two adjacent side wall panels. This facilitates the folding of the connecting tab when the side wall panel is pivoted relative to the bottom panel.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist an der Außenkante einer Verbindungslasche, d.h. auf der vom Bodenfeld abgewandten Kante der Verbindungslasche, eine Aussparung vorgesehen. Werden die entsprechenden Seitenwandfelder gegenüber dem Bodenfeld hochgeschwenkt, so ragt die Verbindungslasche in das Innere des Bodenteils hinein und verfügt dort über die Aussparung. Diese Aussparung kann nun dazu dienen, ein in dem Behälter aufgenommenes Gut, beispielsweise ein Lebensmittel, zu befestigen.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, at the outer edge of a connecting tab, i. provided on the edge facing away from the bottom edge of the connecting strap, a recess. If the corresponding side wall panels are swung up in relation to the bottom panel, the connecting tab projects into the interior of the bottom part and has the recess there. This recess can now serve to attach a recorded in the container Good, such as a food.
Insbesondere kann die Aussparung dabei etwa im Mittelbereich der Außenkante einer Verbindungslasche angeordnet sein, vorzugsweise symmetrisch zur Winkelhalbierenden zwischen den beiden benachbarten Seitenwandfeldern. Dies führt dazu, dass die beiden Abschnitte der Aussparung auf den gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Winkelhalbierenden aufeinander liegen, wenn die Verbindungslasche in das Innere des Bodenteils hineinragt, um auf diese Weise gemeinsam eine vergrößerte Aussparung zu bilden.In particular, the recess can be arranged approximately in the middle region of the outer edge of a connecting plate, preferably symmetrically to the bisector between the two adjacent side wall panels. This results in the two portions of the recess lying on the opposite sides of the bisectors when the connecting tab protrudes into the interior of the bottom part, in this way together to form an enlarged recess.
Günstig ist es auch, wenn die Aussparung bei gegenüber dem Bodenfeld hochgeschwenkten Seitenwandfeldern etwa auf halber Höhe der Seitenwandfelder gegenüber dem Bodenfeld positioniert ist. Wenn dann in der Aussparung ein Lebensmittel befestigt ist, so hat dies insbesondere bei erwärmten oder sogar heißen Lebensmitteln den Vorteil, dass diese in einem Abstand zum Bodenfeld gehalten werden. So verbleibt zwischen dem Lebensmittel und dem Bodenfeld ein Luftspalt, der das Lebensmittel thermisch gegenüber dem Bodenfeld isoliert. So bleibt das Lebensmittel länger warm, und die Handhabung des Behälters wird für den Benutzer verbessert.It is also favorable if the recess is positioned at half the height of the side wall panels in relation to the ground field when the side wall panels are swung up in relation to the ground panel. If a food is then fixed in the recess, this has the advantage, in particular in the case of heated or even hot foods, that they are kept at a distance from the bottom field. Thus, an air gap remains between the food and the soil field, which thermally isolates the food from the soil field. This keeps the food warm longer and improves the handling of the container for the user.
Günstigerweise entsprechen die Abmessungen des Bodenfeldes etwa den Abmessungen des Deckelfeldes, oder sie sind zumindest teilweise etwas kleiner als das Deckelfeld. Auf diese Weise kann der Behälter besonders gut in eine geschlossene Stellung gebracht werden, in der der Deckelteil den Bodenteil überdeckt.Conveniently, the dimensions of the bottom field approximately correspond to the dimensions of the cover panel, or they are at least partially slightly smaller than the cover panel. In this way, the container can be made particularly well in a closed position in which the lid part covers the bottom part.
Zweckmäßig ist es, wenn die drei Flanken des Deckelteils so aneinander befestigt sind, dass sie jeweils etwa senkrecht zum Deckelfeld stehen. Dadurch wird der Deckelteil besonders stabil, und er bekommt eine kastenförmige Konfiguration, in der er den Bodenteil übergreifen kann.It is expedient if the three flanks of the lid part are fastened to each other so that they are each approximately perpendicular to the lid field. As a result, the lid part is particularly stable, and he gets a box-shaped configuration in which he can overlap the bottom part.
Im Interesse einer möglichst dauerhaft stabilen Ausbildung des Deckelteils ist es vorteilhaft, wenn je zwei benachbarte Flanken des Deckelteils miteinander verklebt sind. Alternativ waren auch andere Arten der Verbindung denkbar.In the interest of a permanently stable design of the cover part, it is advantageous if each two adjacent flanks of the cover part are glued together. Alternatively, other types of connection were conceivable.
In einer weiter verbesserten Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung ist mindestens eine Flanke des Deckelteils mit einer Knicklinie entlang der Winkelhalbierenden zwischen den Verbindungskanten dieser Flanke zum Deckelfeld und der Verbindungskante dieser Flanke zur benachbarten Flanke versehen. Dies ermöglicht es, die entsprechende Flanke in eine flach auf dem Deckelfeld aufliegende Position zu falten bzw. zu verschwenken, so dass sie weniger Platz beansprucht.In a further improved embodiment variant of the invention, at least one flank of the cover part is provided with a crease line along the angle bisector between the connecting edges of this flank to the cover panel and the connecting edge of this flank to the adjacent flank. This makes it possible to fold or swivel the corresponding flank into a position lying flat on the cover panel, so that it takes up less space.
Noch besser ist es, wenn zwei einander gegenüberliegende Flanken des Deckelteils mit jeweils einer Knicklinie entlang der Winkelhalbierenden zwischen der Verbindungskante der jeweiligen Flanke zum Deckelfeld und der Verbindungskante der jeweiligen Flanke zur benachbarten Flanke versehen ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die beiden gegenüberliegenden Flanken in eine flach auf dem Deckeifeld aufliegende Position verschwenkbar sind, wobei sie diese Bewegung über die Knicklinie auf die mittlere Flanke übertragen, so dass diese ebenfalls flach auf das Deckelfeld gefaltet wird. Auf diese Weise ist der Deckelteil insgesamt in einer flache Stellung faltbar, in der alle seine Komponenten flach aufeinander aufliegen. Dies wiederum hat den Vorteil, dass bei entsprechend flachfaltbarem Bodenteil das gesamte Material für den Behälter in eine flache Stellung faltbar ist, in der eine Vielzahl von Behältern sehr platzsparend stapelbar ist. Folglich hat dies enorme logistische Vorteile.It is even better if two mutually opposite flanks of the cover part are provided with a respective bending line along the bisecting line between the connecting edge of the respective flank to the cover panel and the connecting edge of the respective flank to the adjacent flank. This has the advantage that the two opposite flanks are pivotable in a flat resting on the blanket field position, whereby they transfer this movement over the bending line on the middle edge, so that it is also folded flat on the lid field. In this way, the cover part is foldable overall in a flat position in which all its components lie flat on each other. This, in turn, has the advantage that, with a correspondingly flat-foldable bottom part, the entire material for the container can be folded into a flat position in which a large number of containers can be stacked in a very space-saving manner. Consequently, this has enormous logistical advantages.
Eine Möglichkeit zur Ausbildung von Knicklinien besteht darin, an der entsprechenden Stelle des Behälters eine Perforation in dem Material des Behälters vorzusehen. Dies ist eine technisch einfach zu realisierende Möglichkeit, den Verlauf der Knicklinie vorzugeben und durch die Materialschwächung das Knicken an dieser Linie zu erleichtern.One way to form crease lines is to provide a perforation in the material of the container at the appropriate location of the container. This is a technically easy to implement way to specify the course of the bending line and to facilitate the buckling of this line by the material weakening.
Um den Transport des in dem Behälter enthaltenen Gutes zu erleichtern, ist es günstig, wenn der Behälter in eine geschlossene Stellung faltbar ist, in der der Bodenteil eine kastenförmige Stellung annimmt und in der der Deckelteil den Bodenteil übergreift. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Deckelteil durch das Übergreifen des Bodenteils ein Aufschwenken der schwenkbaren Seitenwandfelder des Bodenteils verhindert und so den Verbleib des Bodenteils in der kastenförmigen Stellung sichert. Das in dem Behälter enthaltene Gut kann so transportiert werden, ohne dass die Gefahr besteht, dass sich der Behälter ungewollt auffaltet.In order to facilitate the transport of the goods contained in the container, it is advantageous if the container is foldable in a closed position in which the bottom part assumes a box-shaped position and in which the lid part engages over the bottom part. This has the advantage that the lid part prevents the swinging of the side wall panels of the bottom part by the overlapping of the bottom part and thus ensures the whereabouts of the bottom part in the box-shaped position. The contained in the container Good can be transported without the risk that the container unfolds unintentionally.
Noch besser ist es, wenn in der geschlossenen Stellung des Behälters die Flanken des Deckelteils etwa planparallel zu und außerhalb der Seitenwände des kastenförmigen Bodenteils angeordnet sind. Auf diese Weise werden durch die Flanken die entsprechenden Seitenwände des Bodenteiles verdoppelt, wobei sich im Inneren der Doppelwände noch ein Luftspalt befinden kann. Beides verbessert die Wärmeisolation des Behälters erheblich.It is even better if, in the closed position of the container, the flanks of the cover part are arranged approximately plane-parallel to and outside the side walls of the box-shaped bottom part. In this way, the corresponding side walls of the bottom part are doubled by the flanks, which may still be an air gap in the interior of the double walls. Both significantly improve the heat insulation of the container.
Eine weitere, vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung besteht darin, dass ein Seitenwandfeld an einer ersten Kante mit dem Deckelfeld und an einer dieser ersten Kante gegenüberliegenden Kante mit dem Bodenfeld verbunden ist. So befindet sich die Achse, um die der Deckelteil gegenüber dem Bodenteil schwenkbar ist, an einer Oberkante einer Seitenwand des kastenförmigen Bodenteils. Von dort aus kann der Deckelteil besonders leicht in eine den Bodenteil übergreifende Stellung verschwenkt werden.A further, advantageous embodiment consists in that a side wall panel is connected at a first edge to the cover panel and at an edge opposite this first edge to the bottom panel. Thus, the axis about which the lid part is pivotable relative to the bottom part is located at an upper edge of a side wall of the box-shaped bottom part. From there, the lid part can be pivoted particularly easily into a position that overlaps the bottom part.
In einer weiteren, vorteilhaften Variante ist mindestens eine Flanke des Deckelteils mit einer Griffaussparung versehen. Sie ermöglicht es dem Benutzer, in der geschlossenen Stellung des Behälters mit zumindest einem Finger den Bodenteil zu ergreifen, so dass dieser festgehalten werden kann, während der Deckelteil gegenüber dem Bodenteil aufgeschwenkt wird.In a further advantageous variant, at least one flank of the cover part is provided with a handle recess. It allows the user to take in the closed position of the container with at least one finger the bottom part, so that it can be held while the lid part is pivoted relative to the bottom part.
Besonders günstig ist es dabei, wenn die Griffaussparung an dem Ende einer Flanke vorgesehen ist, das der den Deckelteil und den Bodenteil verbindenden Kante benachbart ist. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, dass die Griffaussparung möglichst nah an der den Deckelteil und den Bodenteil verbindenden Schwenkachse positioniert ist, was für die Handhabung des Behälters, insbesondere für das Aufschwenken des Deckelteils, besonders vorteilhaft ist.It is particularly advantageous if the handle recess is provided at the end of a flank adjacent to the edge connecting the cover part and the bottom part. In this way, it is ensured that the handle recess is positioned as close as possible to the pivot axis connecting the cover part and the bottom part, which is particularly advantageous for handling the container, in particular for swiveling the cover part.
Eine technisch einfache und zudem ästhetisch befriedigende Möglichkeit zur Ausbildung der Griffaussparung besteht darin, eine Ecke an der entsprechenden Flanke abzurunden.A technically simple and also aesthetically satisfactory possibility for forming the handle recess is to round off a corner on the corresponding flank.
Eine weitere Verbesserung des erfindungsgemäßen Behälters besteht darin, dass mindestens eine Seitenwand des Bodenteils eine Verschlusslasche aufweist, die in einer geschlossenen Stellung des Behälters in eine Verschlussöffnung oder eine Verschlusstasche am Deckelteil einführbar ist. Der Eingriff zwischen der Verschlusslasche und der Verschlussöffnung bzw. der Verschlusstasche stellt sicher, dass in der geschlossenen Stellung des Behälters die Bewegungsfreiheit des Deckeiteils gegenüber dem Bodenteil eingeschränkt wird, so dass der Behälter seine geschlossene Stellung sicherer beibehält.A further improvement of the container according to the invention is that at least one side wall of the bottom part has a locking tab, which in a closed position of the container in a closure opening or a closure pocket on the lid part is inserted. The engagement between the locking tab and the closure opening or closure pocket ensures that in the closed position of the container, the freedom of movement of the cover part is limited relative to the bottom part, so that the container retains its closed position safer.
Denkbar wäre es, dass der Behälter aus einem einstückigen Zuschnitt gebildet ist. In einer ebenfalls denkbaren Variante, bei der der Deckelteil und der Bodenteil zunächst separat ausgebildet sind, hätte ein einstückiger Zuschnitt den Vorteil einer leichteren und schnelleren Herstellung. Der Zuschnitt könnte dabei z.B. durch ein Stanzwerkzeug erzeugt werden.It would be conceivable that the container is formed from a one-piece blank. In a likewise conceivable variant, in which the cover part and the bottom part are initially formed separately, a one-piece blank would have the advantage of easier and faster production. The blank could be e.g. be produced by a punching tool.
Die Herstellung könnte ebenfalls dadurch vereinfacht werden, dass der Behälter aus einem symmetrischen Zuschnitt gebildet ist. Als Material für den Behälter sind grundsätzlich eine Vielzahl von verschiedenen Materialien denkbar, nicht nur faltbare Materialien. Um die Handhabung des Behälters und seine Herstellung zu erleichtern, werden jedoch faltbare Materialien wie Kunststoff, Papier, Karton oder auch andere Zellulosematerialien bevorzugt.The production could also be simplified in that the container is formed from a symmetrical blank. As a material for the container are basically a variety of different materials conceivable, not only foldable materials. However, to facilitate handling of the container and its manufacture, foldable materials such as plastic, paper, cardboard or other cellulosic materials are preferred.

Gleiche Teile sind in allen Figuren durchgängig mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen bezeichnet worden.Identical parts have been designated in all figures consistently with the same reference numerals.
An seinem schmalsten Bereich definiert der in
Der Deckelteil 4 weist zentral ein rechteckiges, hier insbesondere quadratisches Deckelfeld 6 auf, das später in einem geschlossenen Zustand des Behälters 2 die Oberseite bzw. die Deckelfläche des Behälters 2 bildet. Über die Schwenkkante 3, die eine der Seitenkanten des Deckelfeldes 6 ist, ist das Deckelfeld 6 schwenkbar mit dem Bodenteil 5 verbunden. Die Schwenkkante 3 kann dabei als Schwenkachse dienen. An seinen drei anderen Kanten 7, 8, 9 ist das Deckelfeld 6 mit Flanken 10, 11, 12 verbunden, und zwar mit zwei sich gegenseitig gegenüberliegenden, seitlichen Flanken 10, 12 sowie einer mittleren Flanke 11, die der Schwenkkante 3 genau gegenüber liegt. Die beiden seitlichen Flanken 10, 12 verfügen jeweils über eine Klebelasche 13, 14, die durch Einschnitte 15, 16 von der mittleren Flanke 11 getrennt sind.The cover part 4 has centrally a rectangular, in particular
Der Bodenteil 5 verfügt über ein zentrales Bodenfeld 17, das ebenfalls rechteckig, hier insbesondere quadratisch ausgebildet ist. An seinen vier Kanten 18, 19, 20, 21 ist das Bodenfeld 17 jeweils mit einem Seitenwandfeld 22, 23, 24, 25 verbunden, so dass das Bodenfeld 17 und die Seitenwandfelder 22, 23, 24, 25 insgesamt eine Kreuzform bilden. Zwischen jedem einander benachbarten Paar von Seitenwandfeldern ist jeweils eine Verbindungslasche 26 vorgesehen. Jede Verbindungslasche 26 hat eine im Wesentlichen dreieckige Form mit zwei Seitenwandkanten 27, 28, an der die Verbindungslasche 26 jeweils ein benachbartes Seitenwandfetd 22, 23, 24, 25 berührt, sowie einer vom Bodenfeld 17 abgewandten Außenkante 29. In ihrem Mittelbereich ist an der Außenkante 29 eine Aussparung 30 vorgesehen. Diese Aussparung 30, die hier etwa halbkreisförmig ist, ist symmetrisch zu den beiden benachbarten Seitenwandfeldern 22, 23, 24, 25 angeordnet.The
Im Mittelbereich der Seitenwandkanten 27, 28 können jeweils streckenförmige Einschnitte 31, 32 vorgesehen sein, um ein Einknicken der Verbindungslaschen 26 entlang der Seitenwandkanten 27, 28 zu begünstigen. Darüber hinaus ist jede Verbindungslasche 26 entlang der Winkelhalbierenden zwischen den benachbarten Seitenwandfeldern 22, 23, 24, 25 mit einer vorgegebenen Knicklinie 33 versehen, deren Verlauf insbesondere durch eine Perforation vorgegeben sein kann.In the middle region of the side wall edges 27, 28 each segment-shaped
Jedes der Seitenwandfelder 22, 23, 24, 25 ist in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel um die gemeinsame Kante 18, 19, 20, 21 gegenüber dem Bodenfeld 17 schwenkbar. Das dem Deckelteil 4 am nächsten liegende Seitenwandfeld 25 grenzt über eine Kante 21 an das Bodenfeld 17 an, während die der Kante 21 gegenüber liegende Kante des Seitenwandfeldes 25 die Schwenkkante 3 ist, die den Deckelteil 4 schwenkbar mit dem Bodenteil 5 verbindet.Each of the
Im Bereich der Schwenkkante 3 ist auf beiden Seiten des Zuschnittes eine kleine Abstufung 34 zu erkennen. Diese hier schräg ausgebildete Abstufung 34 hat zur Folge, dass eine Längsabmessung des Bodenfeldes 17 geringfügig kleiner ist als eine entsprechende Abmessung des Deckelfeldes 6. Dies begünstigt später die Aufnahme des Bodenteils 5 im Deckelteil 4 in einer geschlossenen Stellung des Behälters 2.In the area of the
Zu erkennen ist ferner, dass die seitlichen Flanken 10, 12 jeweils eine Abrundung 35 mit einem weiten Krümmungsradius aufweisen. Die Abrundung 35 ist an demjenigen Ende der seitlichen Flanken 10, 12 vorgesehen, das der den Deckelteil 4 und den Bodenteil 5 verbindenden Schwenkkante 3 am nächsten ist. Die Abrundung 35 hat hier einen Krümmungsradius, der genau der Höhe der jeweiligen Flanke 10, 12 gegenüber dem Deckelfeld 6 entspricht. Die Abrundungen 35 dienen später dazu, eine Griffaussparung am Deckelteil 4 zur Verfügung zu stellen.It can also be seen that the lateral flanks 10, 12 each have a rounding 35 with a wide radius of curvature. The rounding 35 is provided at that end of the lateral flanks 10, 12 which is closest to the
In
Die Verbindungslaschen 26 ragen schräg in das Innere des kastenförmigen Bodenteils 5 hinein. Da die Aussparungen 30 im mittleren Bereich der Außenkanten 29 der Verbindungslaschen angeordnet sind, befindet sich die Aussparung 30 in der hier gezeigten, kastenförmigen Stellung des Bodenteils 5 etwa auf halber Höhe der Seitenwandfelder 22, 24.The connecting straps 26 project obliquely into the interior of the box-shaped
Zwischen den beiden hier gezeigten Aussparungen 30 ist ein Gegenstand 36, beispielsweise ein Lebensmittel, aufgenommen. Dabei kann es sich z. B. um ein Sandwich oder einen Burger handeln. Da der Gegenstand 36 zwischen den Aussparungen 30 eingeklemmt ist, kann er sich im Bodenteil 5 nicht bewegen. Insbesondere kann er daher nicht auf das Bodenfeld 17 herunterfallen. Zwischen dem Gegenstand 36 und dem Bodenfeld 17 verbleibt so ein Luftspalt 37. Bei einem erwärmten oder erhitzten Gegenstand 36 kann der Luftspalt 37 zur thermischen Isolation des Gegenstands 36 gegenüber dem Behälter 2 dienen. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Gegenstand 36 langsamer abkühlt, und dass die Wände 17, 22, 24 des Behälters 2 nicht erwärmt werden und so leichter von einem Benutzer ergriffen werden können.Between the two
Der Deckelteil 4 ist dann um die Schwenkkante 3 so über den kastenförmigen Bodenteil 5 herüber geschwenkt worden, dass der Deckelteil 4 den Bodenteil 5 übergreift. Das Übergreifen wird dadurch erleichtert, dass auf Grund der Abstufungen 34 die Querschnittsdimensionen des Bodenteils 5 leicht kleiner sind als diejenigen des Deckelteils 4. In der geschlossenen Stellung des Behälters 2 liegen an drei Seitenwänden des Behälters 2 eine Flanke des Deckelteils 4 und ein Seitenwandfeld des Bodenteils 5 planparallel übereinander. Die Flanke 10 liegt planparallel über dem Seitenwandfeld 24, die mittlere Flanke 11 liegt planparallel über dem Seitenwandfeld 23 und die seitliche Flanke 12 liegt planparallel über dem Seitenwandfeld 22. Lediglich eine einzige Wand des Behälters 2, die durch das Seitenwandfeld 25 gebildet wird, bleibt einlagig. Alle anderen drei Seiten des Behälters 2 sind durch die übereinander liegenden Flanken und Seitenwandfelder doppellagig ausgebildet, wobei zwischen den Flanken und den zugeordneten Seitenwandfeldern noch ein Luftspalt bestehen kann. Sowohl die Doppellagigkeit, als auch der Luftspalt tragen weiter zu einer thermischen Isolierung des Behälters 2 bei.The cover part 4 has then been pivoted about the pivoting
Durch die Abrundung 35 ist die Überdeckung des Seitenwandfeldes 24 durch die Flanke 10 nicht vollständig, sondern es verbleibt eine Griffaussparung 38. Eine entsprechende Griffaussparung 38 findet sich auch auf der gegenüber liegenden Seitenwand des Behälters 2, wo die Flanke 12 die Seitenwand 22 auf Grund der Abrundung 35 ebenfalls nicht vollständig überdeckt. An den Griffaussparungen 38 liegt das jeweilige Seitenwandfeld 22, 24 des Bodenteils 5 frei und kann von einem Benutzer ergriffen werden. Während der Benutzer den Bodenteil 5 auf diese Weise festhält, kann er mit der anderen Hand den Deckelteil 4 gegenüber dem Bodenteil 5 verschwenken. Auf diese Weise erleichtern die Griffaussparungen 38 die Handhabung des Behälters 2.By rounding 35, the overlap of the
Ein erster Unterschied zwischen dem in
Am Deckelteil 4 ist eine Verschlusstasche 40 vorgesehen, mit der die Verschlusslasche 39 in Eingriff gelangen kann. Die Verschlusstasche 40 ist gebildet durch einen Einschnitt in den Klebelaschen 13, 14, durch den die Verschlusslasche 39 in einen Zwischenraum zwischen den Klebelaschen 13, 14 und der mittleren Flanke 11 gelangen kann, wenn der Deckelteil 4 über den Bodenteil 5 in eine geschlossene Stellung des Behälters 2 verschwenkt wird. Denkbar wäre es auch, dass eine Verschlussöffnung durch einen Einschnitt in der Kante 8 zwischen dem Deckelteil 6 und der mittleren Flanke 11 gebildet ist, wobei die Verschlusslasche 39 dann mit dieser Verschlussöffnung in Eingriff gelangen kann. Durch den Eingriff der Verschlusslasche 39 in der Verschlusstasche 40 bzw. in der Verschlussöffnung wird die Bewegungsfreiheit des Deckelteils 4 gegenüber dem Bodenteil 5 eingeschränkt, so dass der Behälter 2 sicherer in seiner geschlossenen Stellung transportiert werden kann.On the cover part 4, a

Ausgehend von den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen kann der erfindungsgemäße Behälter 2 auf vielfache Art und Weise abgewandelt werden. Selbstverständlich ist der Behälter 2 nicht auf einen Einsatz für Lebensmittel beschränkt. Stattdessen können auch andere Gegenstände 36 in den Behälter 2 aufgenommen und transportiert werden. Ferner ist der Behälter 2 nicht auf die hier gezeigte, quaderförmige Gestalt beschränkt. Denkbar wäre es beispielsweise, dass die Form der Deckel- und Bodenfelder 6, 17 ein Kreis, ein Dreieck, ein Polygon oder jede beliebige andere geometrische Figur ist. Dabei müssen sich die Formen des Deckeifeldes 6 und des Bodenfeldes 17 noch nicht einmal entsprechen. Selbstverständlich erhöht oder erniedrigt sich dann auch die Zahl der Seitenwände.Starting from the illustrated embodiments, the
Denkbar wäre es insbesondere auch, dass der Bodenteil nur ein einziges Seitenwandfeld 22, 23, 24, 25 aufweist, das gegenüber dem Bodenfeld 17 schwenkbar ist, während die Position der übrigen Seitenwandfelder gegenüber dem Bodenfeld 17 fest ist. Schon dies bietet Vorteile, weil ein Aufschwenken des schwenkbaren Seitenwandfeldes den Zugang zu einem in dem Behälter 2 befindlichen Gegenstands 36 erleichtert.It would also be conceivable, in particular, for the bottom part to have only one
