Description

Behälter container
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter mit einer Behälterwand, einem Behälterboden und einer Behälteröffnung, wobei sich die Behälterwand vom Boden zur Öffnung hin im Wesentlichen konisch erstreckt und die Innenseite der Behälterwand axial verlaufende, über den Umfang verteilte Stapelrippen aufweist.The invention relates to a container having a container wall, a container bottom and a container opening, wherein the container wall extends from the bottom to the opening substantially conical and the inside of the container wall has axially extending, distributed over the circumference stacking ribs.
Die an der Innenseite der Behälterwand angeordneten Stapelrippen dienen dazu, dass beim Stapeln mehrerer Behälter ineinander der jeweils obere Behälter in dem jeweils unteren Behälter abgestützt werden kann, so dass die beiden konisch geformten Behälterwände sich nicht ineinander verklemmen. Aufgrund der Abstützung durch die Stapelrippen verbleibt zwischen den beiden Behälterwänden ein geringes Spiel, dass ein einfaches Trennen der ineinander gestapelten Behälter gestattet. Die durch die Stapelrippen abgestützten Behälter sind so ineinander angeordnet, dass der Randbereich der Behälteröffnung des jeweils oberen Behälters mit der Befestigungseinrichtung für den Tragbügel außerhalb der Behälteröffnung des jeweils unteren Behälters angeordnet ist.The arranged on the inside of the container wall stacking ribs serve to ensure that when stacking a plurality of containers each other in each case the upper container can be supported in the respective lower container, so that the two conically shaped container walls do not jam into each other. Due to the support of the stacking ribs remains between the two container walls a small clearance that allows easy separation of the nested containers. The supported by the stacking ribs containers are arranged one inside the other, that the edge region of the container opening of the respective upper container is arranged with the fastening device for the support bracket outside the container opening of the respective lower container.
Bei der Handhabung und dem Transport derartiger ineinander gestapelter Behälter kann es zu Instabilitäten der Lage der durch die Stapelrippen abgestützten Behälter kommen. Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Behälter der eingangs genannten Art bereit zu stellen, die die Stabilität der Lage ineinander gestapelter Behälter verbessern.When handling and transporting such containers stacked inside one another, the position of the containers supported by the stacking ribs can be unstable. The present invention has for its object to provide containers of the type mentioned, which improve the stability of the position of stacked containers.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass bei einem Behälter der eingangs genannten Art der Behälterboden im radial außen liegenden Bereich seiner Außenseite mit mindestens einer Ausnehmung versehen ist, in die beim Stapeln mehrerer Behälter ineinander mindestens eine Stapelrippe eines darunter angeordneten Behälters eingreifbar ist und dadurch die Behälter un- verdrehbar zueinander festlegbar sind.The object is achieved in that in a container of the type mentioned in the container in the radially outer region of its outer side is provided with at least one recess into which at least one stacking rib of an underlying container is engageable when stacking a plurality of containers into each other and thereby the Container are rotatably fixed to each other.
Aufgrund dieser Konstruktion wird der beim Stapeln mehrerer solcher Behälter jeweils oben liegende Behälter unverdrehbar auf den Stapelrippen des jeweils unten liegenden Behälters gehalten. Weiterhin können die ineinander gestapelten Behälter in einer vorbestimmten zueinander ausgerichteten Position angeordnet und gehalten werden. Dadurch wird eine weitestgehend stabile Lage der ineinander gestapelten Behälter während ihrer Handhabung oder ihres Transports gewährleistet.Due to this construction, the stack of a plurality of such containers each upper-lying container is held non-rotatably on the stacking ribs of each underlying container. Furthermore, the nested containers may be arranged and held in a predetermined aligned position. This ensures a largely stable position of the containers stacked in one another during their handling or transport.
Mindestens eine der Stapelrippen kann eine größere axiale Höhe vom Behälterboden aus als die übrigen Stapelrippen aufweisen, wobei ihre Höhendifferenz bezüglich der übrigen Stapelrippen mindestens der Tiefe der an der Außenseite des Behälterbodens angeordneten Ausnehmung entspricht.At least one of the stacking ribs may have a greater axial height from the container bottom than the remaining stacking ribs, wherein their height difference with respect to the remaining stacking ribs corresponds at least to the depth of the recess arranged on the outside of the container bottom.
In einer bevorzugten Ausbildung der Erfindung weist die Außen- seite des Behälterbodens in seinem radial außen liegenden Bereich einen axial vorstehenden, im Wesentlichen umlaufenden Stehfuß auf, der mindestens eine Unterbrechung aufweist, die mindestens eine Ausnehmung am Behälterboden bildet.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer side of the container bottom in its radially outer region on an axially projecting, substantially encircling standing foot having at least one interruption, which forms at least one recess on the container bottom.
Die mindestens Unterbrechung bei einem umlaufenden Stehfuß an der Unterseite des Behälterbodens erlaubt eine besonders einfache Herstellung der für den Eingriff mindestens einer Stapelrippe vorgesehenen Ausnehmung am Behälterboden. Bei der Ausnehmung bzw. den Ausnehmungen kann es sich jedoch auch um geeignete Ausformungen des Randbereichs des Behälterbodens handeln, die zur Unterseite hin und vorzugsweise auch, zur radialen Außenseite hin offen sind. Auch können am Behälterbo- den Stege oder Vorsprünge angeordnet sein, zwischen die ein oder mehrere oberen, d.h. zur Behälteröffnung weisenden Enden der Stapelrippen eingreifen und zwischen ihnen unverdrehbar um die Behälterachse gehalten werden.The at least interruption in the case of a circulating standing foot on the underside of the container base allows a particularly simple production of the recess provided on the container bottom for the engagement of at least one stacking rib. However, the recess or the recesses may also be suitable formations of the edge region of the container bottom, which are open towards the bottom and preferably also towards the radial outside. Also, webs or projections may be arranged on the container bottom, between which engage one or more upper ends of the stacking ribs, that is to say towards the container opening, and which are held non-rotatable about the container axis between them.
Die Breite der Ausnehmungen in Umfangsrichtung des Behälterbo- dens kann etwas größer bemessen sein als die Breite der Stapelrippen in Umfangsrichtung der Behälterwand, so dass zwischen den oberen Enden der Stapelrippen und den Wänden der Ausnehmungen ein vorbestimmtes Spiel verbleibt.The width of the recesses in the circumferential direction of the container bottom can be dimensioned slightly larger than the width of the stacking ribs in the circumferential direction of the container wall, so that a predetermined clearance remains between the upper ends of the stacking ribs and the walls of the recesses.
Andererseits kann die Breite der Ausnehmungen geringfügig klei- ner als die Breite der Stapelrippen gewählt sein, um eine vorbestimmte Klemmwirkung zwischen den oberen Enden der Stapelrippen und den Wandbereichen der Ausnehmungen zu erzielen. In diesem Falle lassen sich die ineinander gestapelten Behälter nur durch Überwindung der vorbestimmten Klemmkraft von einander trennen.On the other hand, the width of the recesses may be selected to be slightly smaller than the width of the stacking ribs in order to achieve a predetermined clamping action between the upper ends of the stacking ribs and the wall regions of the recesses. In this case, the containers stacked one inside the other can only be separated from each other by overcoming the predetermined clamping force.
Die an der Innenseite der Behälterwand angeordneten Stapelrippen können, z.B. durch Spritzguss in einem Spritzgießwerkzeug, an die Behälterwand angeformt sein und eine zum Formen und Entformen des Behälters geeignete Geometrie aufweisen. Bevor- zugt erstrecken sie sich vom Behälterboden aus.The stacking ribs disposed on the inside of the container wall may be, e.g. by injection molding in an injection mold, be molded to the container wall and have a suitable for molding and demolding of the container geometry. Preferably, they extend from the container bottom.
Die Höhe der Stapelrippen bzw. deren Länge vom Behälterboden aus ist zweckmäßigerweise so bemessen, dass die Behälterwände ineinander gestapelter Behälter sich nicht verklemmen. Zwischen den Behälterwänden verbleibt ein geringes Spiel, das eine ge- genseitige Ausrichtung ineinander gestapelter Behälter in einer vorbestimmten Orientierung erlaubt. Aufgrund der Anordnung der Stapelrippen und der mit diesen zusammenwirkenden Ausnehmungen am Behälterboden kann die gewünschte Orientierung der ineinan- der gestapelten Behälter festgelegt und durch den unverdrehba- ren Eingriff der Stapelrippen in die Ausnehmungen während der Handhabung oder des Transports der Behälter beibehalten werden.The height of the stacking ribs or their length from the container bottom is expediently dimensioned so that the container walls of stacked containers do not jam. There remains a slight clearance between the container walls, which allows a mutual alignment of nested containers in a predetermined orientation. Due to the arrangement of the stacking ribs and the recesses cooperating therewith on the container bottom, the desired orientation of the interior of the container can be achieved. fixed to the stacked container and maintained by the non-rotatable engagement of the stacking ribs in the recesses during handling or transport of the containers.
Andererseits können die Stapelrippen die gleiche Länge aufwei- sen, wobei der Behälterboden an seiner Außenseite mit mehreren Ausnehmungen versehen ist, in die beim Stapeln mehrerer Behälter ineinander die Stapelrippen eines darunter angeordneten Behältes eingreifen, wobei mindestens eine der Ausnehmungen durch Eingriff mindestens einer Stapelrippe in diese die Behäl- ter unverdrehbar zueinander festlegt.On the other hand, the stacking ribs may have the same length, wherein the container bottom is provided on its outside with a plurality of recesses into which the stacking ribs of a container arranged underneath engage in one another when stacking a plurality of containers, wherein at least one of the recesses engages by engaging at least one stacking rib the containers are fixed non-rotatably to each other.
Insbesondere kann der Behälterboden an seiner Außenseite mit entsprechend zu den Stapelrippen über den Umfang verteilten Ausnehmungen versehen sein, in die jeweils die Stapelrippen eines darunter angeordneten Behälters eingreifen und die Behäl- ter dadurch unverdrehbar um die Behälterachsen festlegbar sind.In particular, the container bottom can be provided on its outside with recesses distributed correspondingly to the stacking ribs over the circumference, in each of which the stacking ribs of a container arranged underneath intervene and the containers can thereby be fixed non-rotatably about the container axes.
Um eine genügende Stabilität bei der Abstützung einer Vielzahl von ineinander gestapelten Behältern und gegen Verdrehung dieser Behälter gegeneinander zu gewährleisten, weisen die Stapelrippen eine radiale Erstreckung von der Behälterwand auf, die zwischen dem ein- bis dreifachen der Wanddicke des Behälters in diesem Bereich entspricht. Vorzugsweise entspricht .die radiale Erstreckung dem ein- bis zweifachen der Randdicke des Behälters .In order to ensure sufficient stability in the support of a plurality of nested containers and against rotation of these containers against each other, the stacking ribs have a radial extent of the container wall, which corresponds to one to three times the wall thickness of the container in this area. Preferably, the radial extent corresponds to one to two times the edge thickness of the container.
Vorzugsweise ist die Behälteraußenwand nicht mit einem umlau- fenden Flansch versehen. Die Behälteraußenwand ist vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen glatt und/oder vorsprungsfrei und/oder frei von Hinterschneidungen ausgebildet, gegebenenfalls mit Ausnahme der radial nach außen vorstehenden Haltebereiche für einen Tragbügel und den entsprechenden Verbindungsbereichen mit der Behäl- terwand.Preferably, the container outer wall is not provided with a circumferential flange. The container outer wall is preferably substantially smooth and / or free of projections and / or free of undercuts, optionally with the exception of the radially outwardly projecting holding regions for a mounting bracket and the corresponding connection areas with the container wall.

Die Figuren 1 bis 4 zeigen ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Behälters 1 mit einer Behälterwand 2, einem Behälterboden 3 und einer Behälteröffnung 4. Die Behälterwand 2 erstreckt sich vom Behälterboden 3 zur Behälteröffnung 4 hin im Wesentlichen ko- nisch. An der Innenseite der Behälterwand 2 sind axial verlaufende, über den Umfang der Behälterwand 2 verteilte Stapelrippen 5 vorgesehen. Der Behälter ist aus Kunststoff durch Spritz- guss zusammen mit den an seiner Innenseite angeformten Stapelrippen 5 gefertigt. Die Stapelrippen 5 dienen dazu, dass beim Stapeln mehrerer Behälter 1 vor Anbringung des Deckels 6 ein jeweils in den Behälter 1 angeordneter Behälter abgestützt werden kann, so dass ein Verklemmen der konisch verlaufenden Behälterwände 2 der beiden Behälter 1 vermieden wird. Zwischen den Behälterwänden 2 verbleibt aufgrund der Abstützung durch die Stapelrippen 5 ein geringes Spiel, so dass die beiden ineinander gestapelten Behälter 1 leicht wieder voneinander ge- β trennt werden können.Figures 1 to 4 show an embodiment of a container 1 with a container wall 2, a container bottom 3 and a container opening 4. The container wall 2 extends from the container bottom 3 to the container opening 4 is substantially conic. On the inside of the container wall 2 axially extending, over the circumference of the container wall 2 distributed stacking ribs 5 are provided. The container is made of plastic by injection molding together with the stacking ribs 5 formed on its inside. The stacking ribs 5 are used so that when stacking a plurality of containers 1 prior to attachment of the lid 6, a respective container arranged in the container 1 can be supported, so that jamming of the conical container walls 2 of the two containers 1 is avoided. Due to the support provided by the stacking ribs 5, a slight clearance remains between the container walls 2, so that the two containers 1 stacked one inside the other are easily separated from one another. β can be separated.
Um einen in den Behälter 1 gestapelten Behälter 1 unverdrehbar gegenüber dem Behälter 1 festzulegen, ist der Behälterboden 3 im radial außen liegenden Bereich seiner Außenseite mit Ausneh- mungen versehen, in die das zur Behälteröffnung 4 weisende Ende der Stapelrippen 5 des darunter und außenseitig angeordneten Behälters 5 eingreifen und dadurch die Behälter 1 unverdrehbar zueinander festlegen.In order to set a container 1 stacked in the container 1 non-rotatably relative to the container 1, the container bottom 3 is provided in the radially outer region of its outer side with recesses into which the container opening 4 facing end of the stacking ribs 5 of the below and outside arranged container 5 engage and thereby set the container 1 non-rotatable to each other.
Die Ausnehmungen sind in dem durch die Figuren 1 bis 4 be- schriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel als Unterbrechungen 7 eines im radial außen liegenden Bereich der Außenseite des Behälterboden 3 axial vorstehenden Stehfußes 8 ausgebildet. Wie insbesondere den Figuren 3 und 4 zu entnehmen ist, erstreckt sich der Stehfuß 8 ringförmig über den gesamten Umfang des Behälterbodens 3.In the exemplary embodiment described by FIGS. 1 to 4, the recesses are formed as interruptions 7 of a standing foot 8 projecting axially in the radially outer region of the outside of the container bottom 3. As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 3 and 4, the standing foot 8 extends annularly over the entire circumference of the container bottom 3.
Der Stehfuß 8 kann weiterhin beim Stapeln mehrerer Behälter 1 mit daran befestigten Deckeln 6 in eine korrespondierende axiale Vertiefung im Randbereich 9 des Deckels 6 eines darunter angeordneten Behälters eingreifen, vgl. Fig.l, so dass aufeinander gestapelte Behälter 1 mit Deckeln 6 radial zueinander festgelegt sind und nicht aufeinander verrutschen können.The standing foot 8 can furthermore intervene when stacking a plurality of containers 1 with lids 6 attached thereto into a corresponding axial depression in the edge region 9 of the lid 6 of a container arranged underneath, cf. Fig.l, so that stacked container 1 with lids 6 are fixed radially to each other and can not slip on each other.
Die als Unterbrechungen 7 eines ringförmigen Stehfußes 8 geformten Ausnehmungen sind entsprechend den Stapelrippen 5 über den Umfang des Behälterbodens 3 verteilt angeordnet. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind vier Stapelrippen- 5 und ent- sprechend vier Unterbrechungen 7 des Stehfußes 8 vorgesehen, die einen Winkel von 90° zu den nächst benachbarten Stapelrippen 5 bzw. Unterbrechungen 7 angeordnet sind.The recesses 7 formed as an interruptions 7 of an annular standing foot 8 are distributed according to the stacking ribs 5 over the circumference of the container bottom 3. In the present exemplary embodiment, four stacking ribs 5 and correspondingly four interruptions 7 of the standing foot 8 are provided, which are arranged at an angle of 90 ° to the next adjacent stacking ribs 5 or interruptions 7.
Figur 5 zeigt eine aufgebrochene Darstellung von zwei ineinan- dergestapelten Behältern nach den Figuren 1 bis 4. Der in der Figur obere Behälter 1 setzt hierbei mit dem Behälterboden 3 auf dem oberen Rand der Stapelrippe 5 auf. Zwischen den Behälterwänden 2 der beiden ineinandergestapelten Behälter 1 verbleibt ein Spiel, welches bei zentrierter Anordnung der Behäl- ter den inneren Behälter vollumfänglich umgeben kann. Entsprechendes gilt auch bei einer Stapelung von Behältern nach dem weiter unten gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel. Allgemein kann auch hier ein seitliches spiel zwischen den Behälterwänden 2 der ineinandergestapelten Behälter verbleiben. Auch im Bereich der Ausnehmung 10 können die Stapelstege mit seitlichem und/oder radialem Spiel in die Ausnehmung eingreifen, um so ein Festklemmen der Behälter in gestapeltem Zustand zu vermeiden, was unabhängig von dem Ausführungsbeispiel gelten kann.FIG. 5 shows a broken-away illustration of two containers stacked in one another according to FIGS. 1 to 4. The upper container 1 in the figure here is placed on the upper edge of the stacking rib 5 with the container bottom 3. Between the container walls 2 of the two containers 1 stacked in one another there remains a clearance which, when the containers are centered, ter can surround the inner container completely. The same applies to a stacking of containers according to the embodiment shown below. In general, a lateral clearance between the container walls 2 of the containers stacked in one another can also remain here. Also in the region of the recess 10, the stack webs can engage with lateral and / or radial play in the recess, so as to avoid jamming of the container in a stacked state, which may apply regardless of the embodiment.
In den Figuren 6 und 7 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel für die unverdrehbare Festlegung ineinander gestapelter Behälter 1 dargestellt. Hier weist der Behälterboden 3 an seiner radialen Außenseite über den Umfang verteilte Ausnehmungen 10 auf, die als lokale Einformungen in den Behälterboden 3 ausgebildet sind. In die Ausnehmungen 10 greift jeweils der obere Rand einer Stapelrippe 5 eines darunter gestapelten Behälters 1 ein. Die Ausnehmungen 10 sind, wie aus Figur 6 hervorgeht, zur Unterseite sowie zur radialen Außenseite des Behälterbodens 3 hin offen. In the figures 6 and 7, another embodiment for the non-rotatable definition of stacked container 1 is shown. Here, the container bottom 3 on its radially outer side over the circumference distributed recesses 10 which are formed as local recesses in the container bottom 3. In the recesses 10 in each case engages the upper edge of a stacking rib 5 of a container 1 stacked below. The recesses 10 are, as is apparent from Figure 6, open to the bottom and the radial outside of the container bottom 3 out.
