Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen klappbaren Behälter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a hinged container according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE 696 04 197 T2 ist ein klappbarer Behälter bekannt, der als Anhänger für Fahrräder ausgebildet ist. Der klappbare Behälter besitzt einen oberen und einen unteren Rahmen, zwischen denen sich flexibles Gewebe erstreckt. Der klappbare Behälter besitzt jeweils zwei zusammenwirkende Streben, die am oberen Rahmen gelagert sind. Eine der Streben ist am unteren Rahmen an der Achse der Räder des Anhängers gelagert. Diese Achse besitzt ein Verbindungsstück, an dem sich das zweite Rahmenteil abstützt. Dadurch, daß zuerst das erste Rahmenteil an der Achse und anschließend das zweite Rahmenteil an dem Verbindungsstück des ersten Rahmenteils fixiert werden muß, ist das Aufklappen und Zusammenklappen des Behälters vergleichsweise aufwendig.From the DE 696 04 197 T2 a hinged container is known, which is designed as a trailer for bicycles. The hinged container has an upper and a lower frame, between which flexible fabric extends. The hinged container has two cooperating struts which are mounted on the upper frame. One of the struts is mounted on the lower frame on the axle of the wheels of the trailer. This axis has a connecting piece, on which the second frame part is supported. The fact that first the first frame part on the axis and then the second frame part has to be fixed to the connecting piece of the first frame part, the unfolding and folding of the container is relatively expensive.

Die US 2,655,970 zeigt einen klappbaren Behälter, der eine Bodenplatte und einen oberen Rahmen besitzt. An dem Rahmen sind zwei Seitenbügel schwenkbar angeordnet, die sich in aufgeklapptem Zustand am Boden abstützen. Am Boden des Behälters sind Rippen angeformt, die die Seitenbügel in ihrer nach außen geschwenkten Stellung halten. Zum Zusammenklappen des Behälters müssen die Seitenbügel vom Bediener von Hand gegriffen werden.The US 2,655,970 shows a hinged container having a bottom plate and an upper frame. On the frame two side brackets are pivotally mounted, which are supported in the unfolded state on the ground. At the bottom of the container ribs are formed, which are the side bars in their hold outward pivoted position. To fold the container, the side brackets must be gripped by the operator by hand.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen klappbaren Behälter der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, der schnell und einfach zusammen- und aufgeklappt werden kann und der eine hohe Stabilität besitzt.The invention has for its object to provide a folding container of the generic type, which can be quickly and easily folded and unfolded and has a high stability.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen klappbaren Behälter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a hinged container having the features of claim 1.

Ein einfaches Aufklappen und Zusammenklappen des Behälters kann dadurch erreicht werden, daß sich der Stützabschnitt in aufgeklapptem Zustand des Behälter an dem anderen formstabilen Element, also dem oberen Rahmen oder dem Boden des Behälters, abstützt. Dadurch sind keine zusätzlichen Einrichtungen für die Abstützung notwendig. Bei mehreren Klappelementen können alle Klappelemente gleichzeitig in einem Arbeitsgang umgeklappt werden.A simple opening and folding of the container can be achieved in that the support portion in the unfolded state of the container on the other dimensionally stable element, ie the upper frame or the bottom of the container, is supported. As a result, no additional facilities for support are necessary. With several folding elements all folding elements can be folded at the same time in one operation.

Vorteilhaft ist mindestens ein Klappelement an dem Rahmen gelagert und stützt sich gegen den Boden ab. Dadurch kann der Rahmen einfach und ohne zusätzliche Abstützflächen ausgebildet sein. Die ohnehin vorhandene Bodenfläche kann zur Abstützung genutzt werden. Weitere Einrichtungen hierfür sind nicht erforderlich. Um eine hohe Stabilität des Behälters in aufgeklapptem Zustand zu erreichen, ist vorgesehen, daß für mindestens ein Klappelement mindestens eine Rasteinrichtung vorgesehen ist, die das Klappelement in aufgeklapptem Zustand des Behälters in seiner Position hält. Dadurch kann das Klappelement nicht unbeabsichtigt aus der Position, in der es sich gegen eines der formstabilen Elemente abstützt, in die zusammengeklappte Position verstellt werden. Insbesondere ist im Bereich jeder Lagerung eines Klappelements eine Rasteinrichtung an dem formstabilen Element angeordnet.Advantageously, at least one hinged element is mounted on the frame and is supported against the ground. As a result, the frame can be designed simply and without additional support surfaces. The already existing floor space can be used for support. Other facilities are not required. In order to achieve a high stability of the container in the unfolded state, it is provided that at least one latching device is provided for at least one folding element, which holds the folding element in the unfolded state of the container in its position. As a result, the folding element can not be moved inadvertently from the position in which it is supported against one of the dimensionally stable elements in the folded position. In particular, a latching device is arranged on the dimensionally stable element in the region of each mounting of a folding element.

Um ein einfaches Zusammenklappen des Behälters zu ermöglichen, ist eine Betätigungseinrichtung für die Rasteinrichtung vorgesehen. Die Betätigungseinrichtung ist dabei insbesondere in einer Betätigungsrichtung zu betätigen, die quer, vorteilhaft senkrecht zu mindestens einem Stützabschnitt liegt. Über den Stützabschnitt werden die im Betrieb auftretenden Lasten vom oberen Rahmen zum Boden geleitet. Dadurch, daß die Betätigungsrichtung quer zu dem Stützabschnitt liegt, liegt sie in einer Richtung, in der im Betrieb keine oder nur geringe Kräfte auftreten. Dadurch ist ein unbeabsichtigtes Betätigen im Betrieb vermieden.In order to allow a simple folding of the container, is an actuator for the locking device intended. The actuating device is to be actuated in particular in an actuating direction which is transverse, advantageously perpendicular to at least one support section. About the support section, the loads occurring during operation are passed from the upper frame to the ground. Characterized in that the actuating direction is transverse to the support portion, it is in a direction in which no or only small forces occur during operation. As a result, unintentional operation during operation is avoided.

Eine einfache Gestaltung der Betätigungseinrichtung ergibt sich, wenn der Stützabschnitt des Klappelements stabförmig ausgebildet ist und die Betätigungseinrichtung an einem in Betätigungsrichtung gebogenen Ende des Stützabschnitts ausgebildet ist. Für die Betätigungseinrichtung sind damit keine zusätzlichen Bauteile notwendig. Dadurch ergibt sich ein einfacher Aufbau des Behälters. Die stabförmige Gestalt des Stützabschnitts bedingt außerdem eine Eigenelastizität des Klappelements, so daß der Stützabschnitt bei geeigneter Vorspannung eine Federwirkung entgegen der Betätigungsrichtung ausüben kann.A simple design of the actuator results when the support portion of the folding element is rod-shaped and the actuating device is formed on a bent in the direction of actuation end of the support portion. For the actuator so no additional components are necessary. This results in a simple construction of the container. The rod-like shape of the support portion also requires an inherent elasticity of the flap member, so that the support portion can exert a spring action against the actuation direction with a suitable bias.

Vorteilhaft besitzt die Rasteinrichtung eine Einführschräge, die beim Aufklappen des Klappelements in Betätigungsrichtung wirkt. Dadurch wird das Aufklappen erleichtert. Zum Aufklappen muß lediglich das Klappelement bewegt werden. Eine Betätigung der Betätigungseinrichtung ist nicht notwendig. Diese wird über die Einführschräge aufgrund der Klappbewegung betätigt. Beim Zusammenklappen übt die Einführschräge eine Kraft auf das Klappelement in Zusammenklapprichtung aus, so daß die Einführschräge auch das Zusammenklappen erleichtert. Insbesondere weist die Rasteinrichtung eine Rastvertiefung auf, in der das Klappelement in aufgeklapptem Zustand des Behälters gehalten ist. Dadurch kann die Position des Klappelements in aufgeklapptem Zustand des Behälters konstruktiv auf einfache Weise vorgegeben werden. Dadurch kann eine hohe Stabilität des Behälters in aufgeklapptem Zustand sichergestellt werden.Advantageously, the locking device has an insertion bevel, which acts on the folding of the folding element in the actuating direction. As a result, the unfolding is facilitated. To open only the folding element must be moved. An actuation of the actuator is not necessary. This is actuated via the insertion bevel due to the folding movement. When folding the insertion bevels exerts a force on the folding element in the folding direction, so that the insertion bevel also facilitates the folding. In particular, the latching device has a latching recess in which the hinged element is held in the unfolded state of the container. As a result, the position of the folding element in the unfolded state of the container can be specified constructively in a simple manner. As a result, a high stability of the container can be ensured in the unfolded state.

Vorteilhaft ist das Klappelement als im wesentlichen U-förmiger Bügel ausgebildet, wobei jeder Schenkel des U einen Stützabschnitt bildet. Dadurch, daß der Bügel zwei Stützabschnitte aufweist, können mit einem Handgriff des Bedieners zwei Stützabschnitte zwischen Rahmen und Boden positioniert werden. Dadurch wird ein schnelles Aufklappen des Behälters ermöglicht. Vorteilhaft sind zwei Klappelemente vorgesehen, die an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Behälters gelagert sind. Die Stützabschnitte sind dabei insbesondere im Bereich der vertikalen Kanten des Behälters angeordnet, so daß sich eine hohe Stabilität des Behälters ergibt.Advantageously, the folding element is designed as a substantially U-shaped bracket, wherein each leg of the U forms a support portion. Characterized in that the bracket has two support portions, two support portions between the frame and the floor can be positioned with a handle of the operator. This allows a quick opening of the container. Advantageously, two folding elements are provided, which are mounted on opposite sides of the container. The support portions are arranged in particular in the region of the vertical edges of the container, so that there is a high stability of the container.

Vorteilhaft besitzt der Behälter Haltegriffe zum Tragen des Behälters. Dadurch kann der Behälter einfach transportiert und vielseitig eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise als Fangbehälter für einen Gartenhäcksler, als Einkaufskorb oder dgl.. Das flexible Material ist insbesondere ein Gewebe. Der Boden besteht vorteilhaft aus Metall und ist insbesondere ein Tiefziehteil. Dadurch kann der Boden auf einfache Weise hergestellt werden. Das Gewebe ist insbesondere fest mit dem Boden verbunden. Der obere Rahmen ist insbesondere ein Metallrahmen, der vorteilhaft aus einem Metallstab gebogen und verschweißt ist.Advantageously, the container has handles for carrying the container. As a result, the container can be easily transported and used in a variety of ways, for example as a catching container for a garden shredder, as a shopping basket or the like. The flexible material is in particular a woven fabric. The bottom is advantageously made of metal and is in particular a deep-drawn part. This allows the soil to be easily produced. The fabric is especially firmly connected to the ground. The upper frame is in particular a metal frame, which is advantageously bent and welded from a metal rod.

Der in Fig. 1 gezeigte Behälter 1 besitzt einen formstabilen Boden 2, an dem ein umlaufender Rand 3 angeformt ist. Der Boden 2 besteht aus Metall und ist ein Tiefziehteil. Zur Erhöhung der Stabilität weist der Boden 2 eine Strukturierung auf. An dem umlaufenden Rand 3 des Bodens 2 ist flexibles Material, nämlich ein Gewebe 5 festgelegt, das sich über den gesamten Umfang des Behälters 1 erstreckt. Dem Boden 2 gegenüberliegend besitzt der Behälter 1 einen oberen Rahmen 4, der sich in einer parallel zum Boden 2 liegenden Ebene erstreckt. Der Rahmen 4 besteht aus einem Metallstab, der gebogen und zusammengeschweißt ist. Das Gewebe 5 weist Schlaufen 19 auf, die den oberen Rahmen 4 umschlingen. Dadurch ist das Gewebe 5 auch am oberen Rahmen 4 festgelegt.The in Fig. 1 shown container 1 has a dimensionally stable bottom 2, on which a peripheral edge 3 is formed. The bottom 2 is made of metal and is a deep-drawn part. To increase the stability of the bottom 2 has a structuring. At the peripheral edge 3 of the bottom 2 flexible material, namely a fabric 5 is set, which extends over the entire circumference of the container 1. Opposite the bottom 2, the container 1 has an upper frame 4 extending in a plane parallel to the bottom 2. The frame 4 consists of a metal rod which is bent and welded together. The tissue 5 has Loops 19, which wrap around the upper frame 4. As a result, the fabric 5 is also fixed to the upper frame 4.

Der Behälter 1 ist annähernd quaderförmig ausgebildet und besitzt zwei Längsseiten 16 sowie zwei kürzere Querseiten 17. An den Querseiten 17 des Behälters 1 weist das Gewebe 5 im Bereich des Rahmens 4 Aussparungen 27 auf. Dadurch liegt der Rahmen 4 in diesem Bereich frei und bildet Haltegriffe 18, an denen der Behälter 1 vom Bediener gehalten werden kann. Durch die tragbare Ausbildung kann der Behälter 1 vielseitig eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise als Fangkorb, insbesondere als Fangkorb für einen Gartenhäcksler, als Einkaufskorb oder dgl..The container 1 is formed approximately cuboid and has two longitudinal sides 16 and two shorter transverse sides 17. At the transverse sides 17 of the container 1, the fabric 5 in the region of the frame 4 recesses 27. As a result, the frame 4 is exposed in this area and forms handles 18 on which the container 1 can be held by the operator. Due to the portable training, the container 1 can be used in many ways, for example as a catcher, especially as a grass catcher for a garden shredder, as a shopping basket or the like.

Zur Fixierung der Lage des oberen Rahmens 4 gegenüber dem Boden 2 besitzt der Behälter 1 zwei Bügel 6, von denen in Fig. 1 einer gezeigt ist. Die Bügel 6 sind im wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildet und besitzen jeweils zwei Stützabschnitte 7, die von den Schenkeln des U gebildet werden, sowie einen Verbindungsabschnitt 8, der sich zwischen den beiden Stützabschnitten 7 erstreckt (Fig. 3). Wie Fig. 3 zeigt, ist jeder Bügel 6 aus einem Metallstab gebogen. Der Verbindungsabschnitt 8 ist in aufgeklapptem Zustand des Behälters 1 im Bereich des Bodens 2 angeordnet. Der Verbindungsabschnitt 8 kann zum Boden 2 jedoch auch einen Abstand besitzen.To fix the position of the upper frame 4 relative to the bottom 2, the container 1 has two brackets 6, of which in Fig. 1 one is shown. The brackets 6 are formed substantially U-shaped and each have two support portions 7, which are formed by the legs of the U, and a connecting portion 8, which extends between the two support portions 7 ( Fig. 3 ). As Fig. 3 shows, each bracket 6 is bent from a metal rod. The connecting portion 8 is arranged in the unfolded state of the container 1 in the region of the bottom 2. However, the connecting portion 8 may also have a distance to the bottom 2.

Wie Fig. 1 zeigt, ist jeder Bügel 6 in jeweils zwei Halterungen 21 gelagert. Die Halterungen 21 sind im Bereich der Ecken des rechteckigen Rahmens 4 angeordnet. Die Halterungen 21 sind fest mit dem Rahmen 4 verbunden. Jede Halterung 21 besitzt eine Öffnung 20, durch die ein umgebogenes Ende 9 (Fig. 4) der Stützabschnitte 7 ragt. An jeder Halterung 21 ist eine Rasteinrichtung 10 angeordnet, deren Funktion im folgenden noch näher erläutert wird.As Fig. 1 shows, each bracket 6 is mounted in two brackets 21. The brackets 21 are arranged in the region of the corners of the rectangular frame 4. The brackets 21 are firmly connected to the frame 4. Each holder 21 has an opening 20 through which a bent end 9 ( Fig. 4 ) of the support sections 7 protrudes. On each holder 21, a locking device 10 is arranged, whose function will be explained in more detail below.

In aufgeklapptem Zustand des Behälters 1 sind die Bügel 6 im Inneren des Behälters 1 angeordnet. Die Stützabschnitte 7 erstrecken sich im Bereich der vertikalen Kanten 15 des Behälters 1. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind die vertikalen Kanten 15 abgerundet ausgebildet. Es kann jedoch auch vorgesehen sein, die vertikalen Kanten 15 des Behälters 1 eckig auszubilden.In the unfolded state of the container 1, the bracket 6 are arranged in the interior of the container 1. The support portions 7 extend in the region of the vertical edges 15 of the container 1. In the embodiment, the vertical edges 15 are rounded. However, it can also be provided to form the vertical edges 15 of the container 1 angular.

Fig. 2 zeigt den Behälter 1 in zusammengeklapptem Zustand. Der obere Rahmen 4 liegt im Bereich der Halterungen 21 auf dem Rand 3 des Bodens 2 auf. Das Gewebe 5 kann ins Innere des Behälters 1 gefaltet sein. Die Bügel 6 liegen im Inneren des zusammengeklappten Behälters 1 auf dem Gewebe 5 bzw. dem Boden 2. Zum Aufklappen des Behälters 1 greift der in Fig. 2 schematisch gezeigte Bediener 22 die Haltegriffe 18 und hebt den oberen Rahmen 4 nach oben an. In zusammengeklapptem Zustand liegen die Stützabschnitte 7 der Bügel 6 oberhalb, also auf der dem Rahmen 4 zugewandten Seite, eines unteren Abschnitts 28 der Halterungen 21. Die Abschnitte 28 sind jeweils auf der dem Boden 2 zugewandten Seite der Öffnungen 20 angeordnet und verlaufen vorteilhaft etwa parallel zur Ebene des Bodens 2. Die Bügel 6 sind so ausgebildet, daß sie in zusammengeklapptem Zustand des Behälters 1 im wesentlichen ohne Spannung locker auf dem Boden 2 aufliegen. Es kann jedoch auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Bügel 6 bereits in zusammengeklapptem Zustand des Behälters 1 eine Vorspannung besitzen. Fig. 2 shows the container 1 in the folded state. The upper frame 4 is located in the region of the brackets 21 on the edge 3 of the bottom 2. The fabric 5 may be folded inside the container 1. The bracket 6 are inside the collapsed container 1 on the fabric 5 and the bottom 2. To open the container 1 engages in Fig. 2 schematically shown operator 22, the handles 18 and raises the upper frame 4 upwards. In the folded state, the support portions 7 of the bracket 6 are above, ie on the side facing the frame 4, a lower portion 28 of the brackets 21. The sections 28 are each disposed on the bottom 2 side facing the openings 20 and advantageously extend approximately parallel to the level of the bottom 2. The bracket 6 are formed so that they rest in the collapsed state of the container 1 substantially without tension loosely on the floor 2. However, it may also be provided that the bracket 6 already have a bias in the collapsed state of the container 1.

Beim Aufklappen des Behälters 1 werden die Bügel 6 in Richtung der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Pfeile 25 nach unten, also zum Boden 2 hin, und nach außen geschwenkt. Dabei schwenken die Bügel 6 um eine Schwenkachse 24, die parallel zur Erstreckung des oberen Rahmens 4 an den Längsseiten 16 des Behälters 1 liegt. Beim Aufklappen liegen die Stützabschnitte 7 der Bügel 6 jeweils an einer Einführschräge 14 der Rasteinrichtungen 10 an. Jede Einführschräge 14 ist an einem unteren Abschnitt 28 einer Halterung 21 angeordnet (Fig. 2). Jede Einführschräge 14 lenkt den an ihr angeordneten Stützabschnitt 7 nach innen, also in Richtung auf den gegenüberliegenden Stützabschnitt 7, aus. Dabei wird der Bügel 6 elastisch verformt.When opening the container 1, the bracket 6 in the direction of Fig. 3 shown arrows 25 down, so the floor 2 out, and pivoted outward. In this case, the bracket 6 pivot about a pivot axis 24 which is parallel to the extension of the upper frame 4 on the longitudinal sides 16 of the container 1. When unfolding the support portions 7 of the bracket 6 are each at an insertion bevel 14 of the locking devices 10 at. Each insertion bevel 14 is arranged on a lower portion 28 of a holder 21 ( Fig. 2 ). Each insertion bevel 14 deflects the support section 7 arranged on it inwards, that is to say in the direction of the opposite support section 7. In this case, the bracket 6 is elastically deformed.

Benachbart zur Einführschräge 14 besitzt der untere Abschnitt 28 eine Rastvertiefung 13 (siehe auch Fig. 4), in der der Stützabschnitt 7 in vollständig aufgeklapptem Zustand des Bügels 6 einrastet. In der Rastvertiefung 13 liegt jeder Stützabschnitt 7 unter Vorspannung, da der Stützabschnitt 7 gegenüber seiner unbelasteten Lage ins Innere des Behälters 1 ausgelenkt wurde. Dadurch ergibt sich ein sicherer Halt der Stützabschnitte 7 in den Rastvertiefungen 13. Der in Fig. 3 vorne gezeigte Bügel 6 ist in vollständig aufgeklapptem Zustand gezeigt. In diesem Zustand liegt das dem Rahmen 4 abgewandt liegende Ende 23 des Stützabschnitts 7 am Boden 2 an und stützt sich gegen diesen ab. Dadurch ist der Abstand zwischen dem Rahmen 4 und dem Boden 2 festgelegt. Dadurch, daß die Bügel 6 in den Rasteinrichtungen 10 verrastet sind, muß das Gewebe 5 zwischen dem Rahmen 4 und dem Boden 2 nicht gespannt sein, sondern kann locker zwischen den beiden Elementen liegen.Adjacent to the insertion bevel 14, the lower portion 28 has a latching recess 13 (see also Fig. 4 ), in which the support portion 7 engages in the fully unfolded state of the bracket 6. In the locking recess 13 each support portion 7 is under bias, since the support portion 7 has been deflected relative to its unloaded position into the interior of the container 1. This results in a secure hold of the support portions 7 in the locking recesses 13. Der in Fig. 3 Front bracket 6 shown is shown in fully unfolded state. In this state, the frame 4 facing away from the end 23 of the support portion 7 abuts the bottom 2 and is supported against it. As a result, the distance between the frame 4 and the bottom 2 is fixed. Characterized in that the bracket 6 are latched in the locking devices 10, the fabric 5 between the frame 4 and the bottom 2 is not required be curious, but can lie loosely between the two elements.

Zum Zusammenklappen des Behälters 1 muß die Rasteinrichtung 10 gelöst werden. Wie Fig. 4 zeigt, sind die Bügel 6 mit einem abgebogenen Ende 9 in den Öffnungen 20 der Halterungen 21 gelagert. Die gebogenen Enden 9 erstrecken sich etwa parallel zum Rahmen 4 an den Längsseiten 16 und zur Schwenkachse 24 der Bügel 6. Die gebogenen Enden 9 ragen durch die Halterungen 21. Wie Fig. 1 zeigt, ist im Bereich der Halterungen 21 kein Gewebe 5 angeordnet. Dadurch sind die Enden 9 von der Außenseite des Behälters 1 zugänglich. Zum Lösen der Rasteinrichtung 10 wird das gebogene Ende 9 jedes Stützabschnitts 7 in einer Betätigungsrichtung 12 nach innen gedrückt. Die Betätigungsrichtung 12 liegt in Richtung der gebogenen Enden 9 und parallel zur Schwenkachse 24. Es ist vorgesehen, daß an den Enden 9 jeweils eine Druckkappe 11 von außen aufgesetzt ist, auf die der Bediener zum Lösen der Rasteinrichtung 10 in Betätigungsrichtung 12 drückt. Durch die Betätigung wird jeder Stützabschnitt 7 wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt ist entgegen der Vorspannung der Stützabschnitte 7 aus seiner Rastvertiefung 13 ausgelenkt. Sobald die Stützabschnitte 7 aus den Rastvertiefungen 13 ausgelenkt sind, können die Bügel 6 in Richtung des in Fig. 4 gezeigten Pfeils 26 nach innen und oben geschwenkt werden. Ein Drücken der Druckkappen 11 ist nur notwendig, bis die Stützabschnitte 7 aus der Rastvertiefung 13 in den Bereich der Einführschräge 14 gelangt sind. Die Einführschräge 14 drückt den Bügel 6 nach innen und erleichtert so das Zusammenklappen.To fold the container 1, the locking device 10 must be solved. As Fig. 4 shows, the bracket 6 are mounted with a bent end 9 in the openings 20 of the brackets 21. The bent ends 9 extend approximately parallel to the frame 4 on the longitudinal sides 16 and the pivot axis 24 of the bracket 6. The bent ends 9 protrude through the brackets 21. Like Fig. 1 shows, in the region of the brackets 21 no fabric 5 is arranged. As a result, the ends 9 are accessible from the outside of the container 1. To release the latching device 10, the bent end 9 of each support portion 7 is pressed in an operating direction 12 inwards. The actuating direction 12 is in the direction of the curved ends 9 and parallel to the pivot axis 24. It is envisaged that at the ends 9 each have a pressure cap 11 is placed from the outside, presses the operator to release the locking device 10 in the direction of actuation 12. By the operation, each support portion 7 as in Fig. 4 is shown against the bias of the support portions 7 deflected out of its detent recess 13. Once the support portions 7 are deflected out of the locking recesses 13, the bracket 6 in the direction of in Fig. 4 shown arrow 26 are pivoted inwards and upwards. Pressing the pressure caps 11 is only necessary until the support portions 7 have passed from the detent recess 13 in the region of the insertion bevel 14. The insertion bevel 14 pushes the bracket 6 inwards, thus facilitating the folding.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Boden 2 und/oder der Rahmen 4 mehrteilig ausgebildet sind.It can be provided that the bottom 2 and / or the frame 4 are formed in several parts.
