Description

The invention initially relates to a device for transport and / or storage
of articles according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such devices, which may be formed in particular in the manner of a conventional suitcase, are used to accommodate, ie in particular the transport or storage of handling items, tools, luggage od. Like. Conventional suitcases are typically composed of two half-shells articulated, for example by means of Hinges, are interconnected. The half-shells represent molded parts, each having a bottom wall and four side walls attached thereto. The free edge of a half-shell-like molded part may be provided with a peripheral frame, which cooperates in the closed state of the case with a frame attached to the opposite half-shell and in this way the container is completely sealed. A carrying handle can serve the hand-carried transport of the container. Optionally, rollers or the. Like. Be provided for a mobile transport of the device.

Known devices have half-shell-like molded parts, which consist of plate-shaped materials, such as plastic plates. The components of a half-shell-like molded part, namely the bottom wall and the four side walls to be fastened thereto, are initially manufactured separately, for example punched out of a plastic plate, and then attached to one another via fastening elements, for example via connector elements. Separate corner elements provide for the desired stability of the molded part. These can also fulfill attachment functions.

The invention has the object of developing a device known by public prior use device according to the preamble of claim 1 such that it has a simplified design and can be produced with low manufacturing costs.

The invention solves this problem with the features of claim 1, in particular with those of the characterizing part and is accordingly characterized in that the molded part consists of a honeycomb panel made of plastic, which has an inner skin, an outer skin and a honeycomb-providing middle skin arranged therebetween , wherein in each case between a side wall and the bottom wall to form a fold line a groove-like, in cross-section triangular recess is introduced into the honeycomb panel, which injures the inner skin and the middle skin.

The principle of the invention is therefore essentially to use a plastic honeycomb plate instead of conventional materials for the production of a molded part. As a honeycomb plate made of plastic materials are referred to, which are commercially available, for example, under the brand Con-Pearl. These are, for example, three with each other, for example, by welding or by lamination interconnected plastic plates. While the outer and inner skin are arranged parallel and spaced apart from each other and formed continuously, there is a middle skin therebetween, which is provided for example by performing a deep-drawing operation with a plurality of honeycomb-marked elevations and recesses. The center skin provides the honeycombs, with the open pores of the honeycombs being closed by the inner skin and the outer skin. The inventively used for the production of a suitcase plastic honeycomb panel is in this respect an inexpensive producible, commercially available, lightweight, but very dimensionally stable and high rigidity and resilience exhibiting material.

According to the invention, a groove-like recess is introduced into this plastic honeycomb plate. The recess can be incorporated in particular by means of a milling cutter in the honeycomb panel, and have a particular substantially triangular cross-section. The recess is inventively mounted such that the inner skin and the middle skin are injured. The groove-like recess runs towards the outer skin pointed, so that the outer skin remains intact. The recess forms a fold line, so that the two regions of the honeycomb panel which are separated from one another by the recess can be folded against one another. The portion of the honeycomb panel located on one side of the recess may form the bottom wall, and the portion of the honeycomb panel located on the opposite side of the fold line may form a side wall.

If four such recesses are introduced into a honeycomb panel, the four side walls can be folded over and folded up relative to a fixed bottom wall. Characterized in that the inner skin and the middle skin are injured, a curable filling material can be introduced into the groove-like recess, which fill the cavities provided by the honeycomb and in particular behind behind graspable wall portions of the center skin can engage. After folding up or folding down the side walls relative to the bottom wall, for example, by a holding device od. Like. The folded state remain under exercise of a constraining force for a short period of time until the filling material is sufficiently cured. In the cured state, the filling material keeps the side walls substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall and ensures lasting dimensional stability.

The device according to the invention allows an individual Maßgebung. The existing plastic honeycomb panel can be cut to size according to the desired dimensions and provided with the groove-like recesses. Then the four side walls can be folded up. By leaving the outer skin to form a film hinge on the one hand captivation of the side walls of the molded part is guaranteed, which allows easy handling, and on the other hand provided the ability to a precise and precise alignment of the side parts to the bottom part by simple means of a very simple folding process enable. The groove-like extension preferably has a triangular cross-section, such that the two cut surfaces of the recess approximately at a 90 ° angle to each other, so that the cut surfaces, ie the side surfaces of the recess in the folded state of the side wall touch or abut each other , Thus, at the same time a positioning of the side walls further simplifying stop position is provided.

The device according to the invention is characterized by a high dimensional stability with low weight. In addition, it is inexpensive to produce. The production cost is low and the production times can be kept short. This means that only a small storage capacity is required.

Devices for transporting and storing objects are well known in the art. So is out of the DE 202 12 402 U1 a case shell in natural fiber sandwich construction known, but it lacks the attachment of groove-like recesses to form a fold line. Here, the deformation of the plate to a shell in a preheating, in which the material is heated to the melting point of the polyethylene.

The DE 41 155 38 C2 Although already describes suitcases that use honeycomb structures made of plastic. Here, however, luggage compartments made of natural stone slabs are being considered. Groove-like recesses for the formation of fold lines are not described in this document equally.

The DE 91 12 018 U1 describes a multi-purpose case, in which two side walls of the suitcase base with a bottom wall element form a U-shaped shell part and two more side walls are inserted into edge-side slots of the U-shaped shell part. This document proposes to make a cut between the bottom wall and the two side walls, which forms a rectangular slot. In the slot two strips are each used with triangular cross-section and glued to the outer skin and the edge of the honeycomb part. A groove-like recess with a substantially triangular cross section is not apparent from this document. Likewise, the document does not show any curable molding compound which is introduced into the recess and, after hardening, ensures a dimensional stability of the molding shell. Finally, from this document no fold-down or at least articulated mounted on the side walls projections emerge, which cooperate with recordings of the adjacent side wall.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the invention leaves the outer skin unharmed to form a film hinge. As a result, the respective side wall can be folded relative to the bottom wall, without the need for special aids. By attaching the groove-like recess with a substantially triangular cross-section, the two cut surfaces of the recess, so the two side surfaces of the recess, in the folded state of the side wall relative to the bottom wall to each other. This enables stable positioning. The sidewall can with simple tools in their 90 ° pivoted position are held until the curable molding material is cured.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the recess is filled with a curable filling material. This allows a particularly simple construction of the device according to the invention. The curable filling material is introduced into the milled recess and passes there into the cavities provided by the middle skin. By attaching a particular substantially triangular groove-like recess behind reachable wall sections are created. The wall sections can be engaged behind by the curable filling material. The filling material penetrates into all accessible cavities. Subsequently, the side wall can be folded up relative to the bottom wall and harden the filling material. In the cured state, the cured filling compound ensures a positive connection between each side wall and the bottom wall.

In addition, it should be noted that the narrow sides of the side walls can be equally milled. In particular, the narrow sides of the side walls may be provided with a 45 ° bevel. Two adjacent side walls can also be connected to each other in this way, by introducing into the located in the region of the chamfer cavities a curable filling material and is brought to cure.

The basic idea to provide a suitcase shell or provided for a corresponding device molding by a plastic honeycomb plate, are provided by attaching groove-like recesses, leaving fold lines bottom and four attached side walls, and in by introducing a curable molding material in the groove-like recess a very simple and inexpensive production is possible, is one of the present patent application underlying independent idea. This is preferably, but not necessarily, to be realized in combination with a substantially triangular recess.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the recess are assigned tangible wall sections. These wall sections can be provided in particular by the middle skin, but equally by the inner skin.

Within the meaning of the present patent application, the material regions of the honeycomb panel which define a cavity which is accessible from the groove-like recess towards the inner skin or towards the edge of the recess are referred to as grippable wall sections. In that regard, the grippable wall sections may also be formed by material regions of the inner skin.

The arrangement of engage behind Wandungsabschnitten or the attachment of a groove-like recess such that hintergreifbare wall sections arise ensures cured compound for a particularly advantageous force and form fit such that the unfolded relative to the bottom wall side walls, so at about an angle of 90 ° standing to the bottom wall side walls, can remain permanently in this position and in this way the shape of the molding is resistant.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the filling compound engages behind the wall sections. The filling material penetrates in this advantageous embodiment of the invention so far into the cavities that it engages behind the wall sections - when viewing the honeycomb panel in a viewing direction of the viewer perpendicular to the adjacent side surfaces of the recess. This allows a particularly advantageous positive locking and force closing.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a projection projecting beyond the contour of this side wall and a receptacle for the projection on an adjacent side wall are arranged on a side wall. The projection may for example be formed mushroom-shaped and connected with his foot with the side wall. In the production of the side wall of the projection is mitgebildet, for example, by cutting, milling, punching od. Like. Taking place processing.

Advantageously, the projection is connected to the side wall via a groove-like recess with in particular substantially triangular cross-section, wherein the outer skin is unhurt and provides a film hinge. On an adjacent side wall a complementary area is cut free, so that there is a recording achieved. In this recording, the projection brought in, in particular be plugged.

In the production of the suitcase, the four side walls are first set up and folded by about 90 ° relative to the bottom wall. Each side wall then abuts with its narrow side on the narrow side of the adjacent side wall. Subsequently, the projection can be pivoted like a tab and pressed into the receptacle.

The invention further relates to a method for producing a device for transporting or storing objects according to the preamble of claim 16. Methods for producing such cases or containers are known.

The invention has for its object to further develop a method according to the preamble of claim 16 such that the production of the case is possible in a simplified manner.

The device according to the invention, designated in the figures in its entirety by 10, consists, for example, of two half-shell-like molded parts 22 according to FIG Fig. 6 , First, it will be described how a corresponding half-shell 22 according to Fig. 6 can be made from a honeycomb plastic plate. For this purpose, it should be noted that in the present description of the figures the same parts or elements that are comparable in their function are provided for the sake of clarity with the same reference numerals, partially with the addition of small letters, even as far as different embodiments are concerned.

Fig. 1 shows in longitudinal section a plastic honeycomb panel 11, as it is commercially available, for example, under the name Con-Pearl. It has an inner skin 12, an outer skin 13 and a middle skin 14 lying therebetween. The three skins may for example consist of polypropylene or other suitable plastic. The middle skin 14 is provided, for example, by a deep-drawing process with a plurality of elevations and depressions, so that alternating cavities result in the manner of honeycombs 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d. The honeycomb structure can, like Fig. 2 indicates, for example, be formed in the manner of a honeycomb structure, according to which each six honeycombs of a honeycomb are immediately adjacent. However, other geometric honeycomb patterns can also be used.

The three foils or skins 12, 13, 14 are firmly attached to each other, for example by welding and / or laminating. Typically, a production of the plastic honeycomb panel 11 takes place in an extruder process, wherein the three films are brought together in the heated state and are welded directly together in this way.

The honeycomb panel 11 is formed very dimensionally stable despite its low weight and can be used in an excellent manner for the production of a suitcase wall.

Regarding the arrangement of the honeycomb, as out Fig. 2 As can be seen, it is noted that the honeycombs of two adjacent rows r ₁ , r ₂ , r ₃ , r ₄ , r ₅ of honeycombs are arranged slightly offset from each other so as to form a honeycomb structure that deviates from a checkerboard pattern.

Conventional honeycomb panels 11 are in predetermined dimensions with a certain width B and a certain length L before. From a honeycomb plate 11 with predetermined Dimensions should now be made a suitcase with a certain size.

For this purpose, the honeycomb panel 11 according to Fig. 2 initially tailored. Fig. 3 shows the blank obtained in the flat state, in which, starting from a rectangular shape, first the desired width dimensions b and length dimensions I have been selected. Subsequently, a notch 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d made in the respective corner areas, thus made a free cut. In this way, a substantially cross-like body is created, which already reveals a bottom wall 17 and four side walls 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d. In the embodiment, each side wall 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d has the same height H and the same length S. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the lengths S of the four side walls 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d may be different and only respectively two opposite side walls (eg 18a and 18c) may have an equal length S.

Between each side wall 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d and the bottom wall 17, a groove-like recess 19a, 19b, 19c, 19d made in Fig. 3 each indicated only in dashed lines.

evidenced Fig. 4 the groove-like recess has a substantially triangular cross-section and extends from the inner skin 12 to the outer skin 13. The groove-like recess 19a thus runs towards the outer skin 13 towards pointed.

It should be mentioned in this context that the terms inner skin 12 and outer skin 13 in the unprocessed honeycomb panel 11 according to Fig. 1 and 2 are arbitrarily assigned, since the honeycomb panel 11 is substantially mirror-symmetrical to its longitudinal center plane. In the production of a molding 22 and a From this to be formed suitcase referred to the term inner skin 12 but facing the interior of the container and the term outer skin 13, the side facing toward the outside of the honeycomb panel 11.

evidenced Fig. 4 the groove-like recess 19a has two cut surfaces 20a and 20b, which form the side surfaces or boundary surfaces of the recess and which have a substantially right angle to each other (90 °). Accordingly, the two angles α and β between the cut surfaces 20a and 20b and a vector T perpendicular to the inner skin 20 are about 45 °.

The groove-like recess 20a injures the inner skin 12 and the middle skin 14. The outer skin 13, however, is not injured, so that a film hinge is formed. In the region of the vertex of the recess 19a, a fold axis F and thus a film hinge form due to the geometry of the recess 19a, which allows a pivoting of the side wall 18a relative to the fixed bottom wall 17 (cf. Fig. 5 ). This allows the substantially flat blank according to Fig. 3 in a cup-shaped shape according to Fig. 6 be transferred.

The groove-like recess 19 a can be milled into the honeycomb panel 11. Here, for example, an unillustrated milling head relative to the fixed blank according to Fig. 3 emotional.

When milling out the groove 19a, the cavities of the honeycombs 15h, 15e and 15j are broken. These cavities are now accessible from the groove 19a forth through the resulting openings. A hardenable filling compound 21 can now be introduced into the groove 19a and into the cavities accessible from the groove 19a. This may be, for example, a conventional adhesive or a paste-like or viscous filling material, for example, which is preferably metered by machine can be applied. Fig. 5 makes it clear that the filling compound spreads in the cavities and, where possible, also detects the furthest corners. It should be noted that the filling material, for example, also an expanding material, such as a polyurethane foam od. Like., May be.

After introduction of the filling compound, the respective side wall 18a is pivoted relative to the bottom part 17 by 90 ° about the folding axis F, so that a configuration according to Fig. 5 arises. The process is carried out on all four side walls, so that the molding according to Fig. 6 is formed.

The filling compound can now harden. Wall sections of the inner skin or the middle skin are engaged behind by the molding compound. The following effect is of interest:

The filling compound 21 is shown Fig. 5 fully cured and forms a single hard body, so to speak, a workpiece. This workpiece engages behind wall sections 28a and 28b of the inner skin and wall sections 28c and 28d of the middle skin. The term "engage behind" refers to the sectional plane of the central plane located between the two cut surfaces 20a and 20b and parallel to the cut surfaces 20a and 20b. A movement of the side wall portion 18a clockwise about the folding axis F relative to the bottom wall 17 prevents the filling compound 21 in the cured state due to the engaging behind these four said wall sections. This is achieved in a particularly advantageous manner, a stable arrangement.

Such forces, which tend to relocate the side walls relative to the bottom wall, so caught by the cured filling in an excellent manner.

On the other hand, are defined by the cut surfaces 20 a and 20 b positioning or contact surfaces, which in a pivoting of the side walls starting from a state according to Fig. 4 towards a state according to Fig. 5 provide for a defined end position of the side walls.

The molding 22 can be made particularly simple in this way.

It should also be noted that a corresponding hardenable mass 21 can also be introduced between each two adjacent side walls. For this purpose, it is sufficient if the narrow side edges (eg 29a, 29b) of the side walls (shown by way of example in the lower right corner of the Fig. 3 ) are provided with corresponding 45 ° bevels. Correspondingly, the section through a corner region of the molded part 22 would be approximately according to section line VI-VI in FIG Fig. 6 alike a representation, as they do Fig. 5 shows, with the proviso that the bottom part 17 would be thought to replace by the side wall portion 18b.

evidenced Fig. 7 Now, another embodiment will be explained, in which two mushroom-shaped projections 23, 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d are mounted on two opposite side parts 18a and 18c. Each projection 23a has a head 24 and a comparatively narrower foot 25. The foot 25 is connected via a groove-like recess 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d to the respective side part 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d. The groove-like recess 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d is analogous to that in FIG Fig. 4 shown groove-like recess 19a introduced into the honeycomb panel 11. Consequently, the outer skin 13 remains unhurt and forms a film hinge. The respective projections 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d are integrally connected to the respective side part 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d and are used in the production of the corresponding notches and exits 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d (FIG. Fig. 3 ).

In each case adjacent to a projection 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d, a notch or receptacle 27a, 27b, 27c, 27d is arranged in the respectively adjacent side part 18d, 18b. The respective receptacle (e.g., 27a) is complementary in shape to the shape of the corresponding projection 23a. The receptacle 27a is incorporated, for example, by punching, cutting or milling in the respective side part 18b or 18d.

For the production of the molding 22 according to Fig. 8 Now, first the side parts 18b and 18d folded out of the plane of the bottom part 17, based on the plane of the paper FIG. 7 , so folded against the viewer. Subsequently, the two side parts 18c and 18a are folded out of the plane of the bottom part 17 and pivoted counter to the viewer. Now, a pivoting of the respective projections 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d about their respective film hinge axis 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d relative to the associated side wall take place and thereby subsequently the respective projection, for example the projection 23a, enter into the associated receptacle 27a and in this way, the side walls securely lock together.

Although already a purely mechanical connection of the side walls together using the projections 23 a and the receptacles 27 a, 27 b, 27 c, 27 d sufficient to achieve a dimensionally stable shell part 22. In addition, however, can also aids such as adhesives, curable fillers od. Like. Be used to secure the locking tabs 23 a, 23 b, 23 c, 23 d securely in the associated receptacles 27 a, 27 b, 27 c, 27 d.

In the following, will be explained briefly, as from the molding 22 according to Fig. 6 or Fig. 8 a suitcase-like container can be shown:

The upper, designated R edge region of the molding 22 according to Fig. 6 can od with a non-illustrated circumferential profile frame. Like. Be provided. A second molding, which is identical to the molding according to Fig. 6 may be formed, is now directed with the open side to the molding 22 and od by means of hinges. Like. At the first mold part 22 hinged. If the two mold parts, ie, the two half-shells, pivoted against each other, and contact the two frames, the container is closed. Retaining tabs can lock the two mold parts in the closed state successively. A handle part can be provided, for example, on a side wall for the carried transport of the case thus formed. Rolls, Kofferecken, retractable drawbar od. Like. Can be determined on the side walls or possibly also on the bottom walls without much difficulty.
