Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a folding connection, and a foldable container with such a compound, which is convertible from a folded to an unfolded state.
  • Foldable containers are known from the prior art in a variety of forms.
  • these containers can be folded in the unused state to a relatively compact shape and can be stowed so as to save space. By unfolding the container this obtained his usable as such container shape.
  • containers are known in which the individual container walls or bottom or lid part are connected to one another in an articulated or pivotable manner. The junction of these contiguous container parts is in the unfolded state typically in the region of an edge of the container.
  • Simple containers of this type are composed of typically cuboid side parts, whose outer edges extend in three mutually perpendicular directions.
  • the fixing K is guided in the manner shown here on the edges and end faces of the respective side parts.
  • a load L in Fig. 1 is indicated with corresponding arrows and is generated, for example, by a stored in the container Good, thereby strives to move the side panels A and B in the direction of arrows.
  • This results in that the fixing agent K in particular is lifted in the region of the respective end faces of these side parts.
  • the side parts then no longer touch each other along a common pivot axis; instead, this edge of the container experiences a disturbing play, which negatively influences the stability of the container and also the tightness.
  • the fixing agent K can completely detach from both end faces of the side parts A and B, so that it remains attached (if at all) only on the respective outer surface of the side parts and otherwise "free", as indicated by the dashed line K. ' in Fig. 1 is indicated.
  • the band connects the two outwardly directed side surfaces of the side parts over the common edge of the container.
  • the band includes with the two end faces of the side walls a space that is theoretically reduced to zero when folding the side walls.
  • no common and defined axis of rotation of the side parts is formed (in particular, the two inside opposite edges of the two side parts can be moved freely by a measure against each other.) Rather, both parts over the free length of the band between the front sides are loosely hung together, which the stability and dimensional accuracy of the container adversely affected.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to offer a folding connection, in particular for a foldable container, which allows a stable and articulated connection of two adjacent side parts to be folded and reduces the risk of localized detachment of the fixing agent.
  • the object is achieved by a folding connection or a foldable container according to claim 1 and 10.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that the fixing means K can provide a better hold of the two side parts to be joined together when they abut each other adjacent end faces of the respective parts assume an optimized shape.
  • the fixing means K then experiences better hold or is less easily detached when the two adjoining end faces in an extreme range include an angle ⁇ , which is greater than the enclosed by the insides of the two adjacent side panels angle ⁇ ,
  • the forces which, because of a load L, are intended to push apart the side parts A and B are at least partially absorbed by the fixing means K in the region of the end faces of the side parts and transmitted to the adjacent side part.
  • the fixing means K contributes to the fact that the two side parts are better fixed relative to one another in the region of their pivot axis. Furthermore, a common and stable pivot axis for the two adjoining side parts is thus defined. The entire container remains dimensionally stable and precisely fitting with these connections.
  • connection according to the invention of these side parts provides that, by the predetermined shape of the end faces of the side parts, the fixing means K applied thereto can absorb at least some of the forces directly and forward them in their longitudinal or transverse direction to the adjacent part, so that these parts are adjacent to one another being held. This advantageously increases the stability of such a folded connection or a foldable container with such folded connections.
  • the foldable container can be converted from a folded state into an unfolded state and, for this purpose, has at least one essentially flat container side which, in the unfolded and folded state, in a boundary region adjoins at least one further, substantially planar one Container side adjacent.
  • the container sides are pivotally connected to each other in the boundary region via a fixing means about an axis of rotation.
  • Each of the two sides of the container is limited in the border area in each case by an end face and the container sides close in the unfolded state an angle ⁇ arranged in the container.
  • the frontal surfaces or the two passing through the pivot point, applied to the respective end faces tangent in the unfolded state at the pivot point include an angle ⁇ , which is greater than the angle ⁇ .
  • the angle ⁇ is greater than 90 °.
  • the specification ⁇ > 90 ° ensures that a fixing means arranged on the outside of the respective connecting edges is able to absorb the occurring loads in the manner described above.
  • the bisectors of the angle ⁇ and ⁇ are on a straight line, so that the end sides mirror-symmetrical to this straight line to the pivot axis.
  • any other container shape in particular polygonal in plan view, is also conceivable, so that the container has three, four, five, six or a different number of side walls.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the angle ⁇ has a value of 180 ° or greater. This case, which also in the FIGS. 2 and 3 is described, ensures a particularly advantageous introduction of force in the fixing and thus a particularly good stability of the compound.
  • ⁇ ⁇ 180 ° when the condition ⁇ ⁇ 180 ° is reached, a movement of the one side part relative to the other side part inevitably also experiences a movement component in a first direction in a second direction perpendicular to this first direction. Vividly this shows the Fig.
  • the frontal surfaces have a planar shape in the border area and lie in the unfolded state in a common plane.
  • the flat shape in the entire boundary region is not a condition for the function according to the invention.
  • Rounded or shaped with another profile end faces are possible as long as the passing through the pivot axis tangents that abut the end faces, the angle ⁇ > ⁇ include.
  • a particularly advantageous continuation of this idea provides that the end face encloses an angle of 45 ° with the respective inner side of the associated container side.
  • the two side parts cohesive fixative covers according to an embodiment of the invention, the frontal surfaces in the boundary area by a predetermined amount.
  • the dimension depends on the desired stability and the chosen connection method with which the fixing agent is attached to the container elements.
  • the fixing agent can be glued or alternatively or additionally fixed by further frictional or even positive connection means.
  • a plurality of fixing means such that a first strip of tape is applied in the longitudinal direction of the pivot axis over the end faces (and optionally parts of the outer sides) of the side parts.
  • Another fixing means of the same or different kind can additionally be applied transversely to this first orientation and transversely to the pivot axis via the end faces and also parts of the outer sides of the elements to be connected. This increases the stability of the connection as a whole and can be provided in particular in the region of an above or below adjacent lid or floor.
  • the folding connection can be stabilized according to the invention in that also on the inside of the adjoining side parts a fixing means is applied, which may be identical or different to the fixing means on the outside.
  • this fixing additionally increases the stability, it also serves for the advantageous sealing of the container against, for example, free-flowing or otherwise flowable material.
  • the fixing means is designed as a flexible, substantially tensile band. It can have a woven structure.
  • a suitable structure of synthetic fiber or the incorporation of wound or woven metallic threads is conceivable in order to further increase the stability.
  • a substantially or completely made of metal band is advantageously conceivable.
  • the fixative may be secured by gluing, stapling, jamming, screwing or other suitable manner known to those skilled in the art.
  • the invention also extends to a container having a plurality (in particular six) of container sides which are suspended from each other, each container side being fastened with at least one adjoining side in the sense of the above-described folding connection.
  • the side parts should be connected to each other or in total via at least one fixing means, wherein the arrangement of the interconnected side parts is collapsible.
  • Such a container is advantageous to handle and in particular in the unfolded state is a very stable container.
  • the container may have a container bottom and / or container lid, wherein the bottom or lid may also be connected in a suitable manner in the sense of the above-described folding connection with the remaining container sides ,
  • the wall thickness of the container elements which are to be connected to each other via the above-described folding connection, can be selected substantially freely. Particularly advantageous results in a stable container when the wall thickness is in the range of several millimeters.
  • the individual container elements of wood, metal, composite material, plastic or similar material may be formed, in particular for the rough operation of storage, even on pallets, a robust embodiment of suitably stable material is preferable.
  • Fig. 1 shows the already described prior art in a schematic plan view, wherein two container sides A and B with perpendicular end faces adjoin one another and are connected to one another via a fixing means K applied in the region of the end faces.
  • a load L in the direction of the arrows shown there leads to the described detachment of the fixing means K, so that this assumes an undefined shape K 'and the side parts A and B no longer defined bordering each other.
  • Fig. 2 shows an inventive solution to this problem, in turn, two side parts A and B in the region of a pivot axis T adjacent.
  • a fixing means K mounted on the outside, the side parts A and B are fixed relative to each other and pivotable about the pivot axis T.
  • the end faces of the side parts A and B are provided with a chamfer of 45 °, so that they in the unfolded state of the container according to Fig. 2 lie in a common plane over which the fixative K extends.
  • a further fixing means K is also arranged on the inside in the region of the enclosed angle between the container sides A and B, which additionally stabilizes the pivot connection and at the same time further seals the container to the outside.
  • Fig. 3 shows the connection Fig. 2 in an enlarged section.
  • the side parts A and B abut each other in a boundary region G, where they are pivotable about the pivot axis T relative to each other.
  • the fixing means K to be applied at least in the boundary region G is in Fig. 3 omitted for clarity.
  • the side parts A and B each have end faces A S and B S , which have a substantially planar shape and enclose an angle of about 45 ° with the inside of the respective side part.
  • the end faces are in a common plane N, and the bisectors S ⁇ and S ⁇ lie on a straight line.
  • a jointly applied over the two end faces A S and B S fixing agent K achieves a particularly good stability of the compound according to the above-described principle.
  • Fig. 4 shows a schematic plan view of a folding container H, which is shown for clarity without cover and bottom.
  • Six side parts A, B, C, D, E and F are pivotally connected to each other, wherein the compounds at the corners of the substantially rectangular (here even square) box shape in the sense of the above-described invention are executed.
  • the applied fixing K are partially shown, as well as the pivot axes T, which allow a relative movement of the side parts to each other.
  • the container according to the invention can be folded particularly easily by the in Fig. 4 Side parts F, A, D and C shown above and below are pivoted inwards in the direction of the respective indicated arrows. As a result, the side parts E and B shown on the right and left move toward each other until finally touching the other side parts folded therebetween and the container thus occupies a particularly advantageous compact form.
  • edges are designed to be rounded or bevelled so that a repelling of outwardly directed acute or even rectangular edges in the unfolded or also folded state is avoided.
