Description

The invention relates to a roll container for receiving cleaning cloths, reusable incontinence articles, laundry parts or the like articles having a substantially rectangular, square or barrel-shaped cross-section plastic base body which is tightly closed by means of hinged cover, wherein the base body means for receiving an axle including transport wheels are provided, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

From the German patent DE 100 28 354 B4 is a generic roll container for receiving cleaning cloths previously known.

This roll container meets all the requirements of the regulatory authorities and has excellent stability and tightness.

Usually, prior art roll containers consist of a base body having a rectangular cross-section, which has rounding sections in the edge regions. A hinged lid seals the container, i. the base body, wherein the base body means for receiving an axle including transport wheels are provided. For this purpose, lateral recesses are formed in the bottom region of the base body, so that the wheels do not or only slightly protrude laterally and remain in the stationary or rest position, the running surfaces of the wheels ground contact.

The fastening means for the fittings for fixing the lid are, without penetrating the body, embedded in the injection molding. By a Such measures increase the overall tightness of the container, since in the region of the attachment points of the fittings neither liquids nor gases can enter or leave the container.

At the front of the body according to DE 100 28 354 B4 are fasteners attached, wherein a hook-like arm engages each in a corresponding shape in the lid. The buckles are secured by spring, locking pin or the like means. Just like the hinged fittings of the lid, the clamp fasteners, such as nuts, are embedded in the body without any breakouts.

To identify the type of container, the contents of the container and / or classes of dangerous goods, according to the prior art, designations are already given by the injection mold during manufacture of the container or stickers are affixed to the container at the most planar surfaces possible for identification.

However, it has been found in long-term use case that stickers, especially by aggressive liquids are easily damaged and / or have become unrecognizable with the result that regular checks must be carried out and, if necessary, the labels are to be renewed.

For form-fitting labels, a change in the label, e.g. adapted to new applications, not easily possible.

From the foregoing, it is therefore an object of the invention to provide a further developed roll container for receiving cleaning cloths, reusable incontinence articles, laundry items or the like articles, which has labeling surfaces that are labeled according to the respective intended use of the container or the male article or with a Labeling can be provided, which is basically interchangeable. Furthermore, it is important to fix the interchangeable label or marking on the container so that protection against damage is created.

The object of the invention is achieved by the feature combination according to protection claim 1, wherein the dependent claims represent at least expedient refinements and developments.

It is therefore assumed that a rolling container for receiving cleaning cloths, reusable incontinence articles, laundry parts or similar articles having a substantially rectangular, square or barrel-shaped cross-section plastic base body which is tightly closed by means of a hinged lid.

According to the invention, at least one metallic plate or a metallic net is located on the plastic base body, which serves for fixing markings of the container contents, for information about hazardous goods classes or the like.

The relevant markings and information are applied to a magnetic sheet. This magnetic film can then be easily fixed on the metallic plate or the metallic mesh.

In a preferred embodiment, the metallic plate or the metallic mesh is secured by back-blowing in the plastic base body.

In addition, it is possible to surround the metal plate or the metallic mesh on all sides by a plastic base material, care being taken to ensure that the side of the plastic material facing the magnetic foil does not exceed a maximum thickness, with respect to the permanent magnet forces to ensure secure fixing of the magnetic film.

Particularly preferably, the metallic plate or the metallic mesh is surrounded in the edge region by the plastic base material. In this case, this edge region protrudes outwards, ie towards the surface of the roll container, and forms a protective frame for the surface of the metallic plate and the magnetic foil which can be fastened thereon.

In this sense, the metallic plate jumps back surface side relative to the edge region.

The edge region represents a lateral stop for the magnetic film.

In addition, according to the invention there is the possibility that not only on the main body is a metallic plate or a metallic mesh befindlich, but that also or exclusively on the lid, a metallic plate is used to fix there an interchangeable magnetic sheet with labeling instructions.

The invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment and with the aid of figures.

Hereby show:

Fig. 2

a side view of the roll container according to Fig. 1 also with recognizable removable plates surfaces;

Fig. 3

a rear view of the roll container according to the Fig. 1 and 2 with removable disk surface and

Fig. 4

a detailed representation of the attachment of a metallic plate by Hinterblasen (Detail A).

The rolling container according to the embodiment consists of a base body 1 with a substantially square cross-sectional area.

On the underside of the main body 1 means 2 for receiving an axle (not shown) are provided. Lateral recesses 3 form guides for receiving the roll container by means of a forklift.

At least on the front and back of the base body 1 identification surfaces are present, for example, specify a dangerous goods class, contain references to the use of the container or provide similar information.

According to the invention, metallic plates 4 are located in the plastic base body 1, in particular in the side surfaces. These preferably flat metallic plates 4 are used to fix a removable magnetic film containing the relevant labels and information printed.

The metallic plates 4 can be fixed by back-blowing on the base body 1.

This forms an edge region 5, which surrounds the respective metallic plate 4 on all sides.

The curved, surface side protruding edge region 5 also represents a protection of the labeled magnetic film, which is located on the metal plate 4 in question.

Instead of a metallic plate, it is also possible to fasten a metallic net to the main body 1. In the representations after the Fig. 1 to 4 it is assumed that the metallic plate 4 is exposed in each case with its outer surface, that is not surrounded by plastic material.

Complete encapsulation of the metallic plates 4 is also possible in one embodiment of the invention. In this case, however, care must be taken that the plastic layer located on the outside of the metallic plate 4 does not exceed a maximum thickness in order to ensure secure fixing of the magnetic foil.

Although not shown in the figures, there is the additional possibility that the plastic lid at least one metallic plate or a metallic net to receive a magnetic film tag that is replaceable record.

Even the metallic plates themselves can be replaced by using metallic material with elastic properties. By slightly arching and bending a plate this can engage in grooves provided, which are located in the plastic body, relax.
