Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1.
- This container comprises a bottom, a front wall, a rear wall, two side walls and a peripheral upper edge formed by the upper boundaries of the front, rear and side walls.
- the walls of the present container taper towards the bottom in such a way that the container is nestable, that is to say that a plurality of containers can be stacked on one another so that in each case one container at least partially dips into the respectively underlying container.
- Such nestable containers are widely used.
- the nestability results in an advantageously small footprint during transport and storage, especially for the purpose of sale.
- the nestable formation of a container when it is made of plastic, counteracts production thereof by injection molding; because the resulting due to the taper of the front, rear and side walls tendency same ensures easy removal of the freshly injection-molded container from the injection mold.
- this inclination of the front, rear and side walls in the context of the present invention is in each case based on the opposite walls, and not on the level of the bottom or the peripheral upper edge.
- the rear wall could be designed to run at right angles, with the front wall all the more is formed inclined against this rectangular course to ensure a taper of the container to the ground.
- a container of the present type is provided at its upper edge and / or at its bottom with footprints and / or supports, which make it possible to stack two containers or stack several containers without these dive into each other, but the container itself are nestable.
- This can for example be achieved in that the peripheral upper edge of the container is provided at the upper boundary of the rear wall with, for example, two contact surfaces, placed on the two corresponding, arranged at the bottom of the container supports and preferably can be secured against slipping.
- the container is provided in the transition region between its bottom and its side walls with further supports which can be placed in contact areas, which are provided in the region of the peripheral upper edge, at the upper boundaries of the side walls, a first container which is nested in dips a second container, lifted out of this second container and are easily moved backwards to be placed on the lower container can.
- a differently configured in this point example of a container of the type mentioned is in the DE 203 15 859 U1 disclosed.
- the container described there is nestable in a first orientation, while it is then, when two superimposed containers are rotated by 180 ° about its vertical axis, stacked on each other. This is achieved by a special arrangement of projections and recesses formed as contact surfaces at the bottom and at the upper edge of the container.
- Nestable yet stackable containers are used in the case of the aforementioned utility model example, as a laundry basket; often such containers also serve for the storage of food. If these foods are those that are not to be stored without supply of fresh air, or even stored airy, such as onions and potatoes, come container of the type mentioned, at least if they are made of plastic, however hardly used. Such foods are usually stored in non-nestable hurdles or in forward-open, stackable wooden fruit or vegetable crates because there removal of the food from the front of the containers is possible without taking one or more containers from that container from which something is to be taken.
- the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to improve a container of the type mentioned in terms of an extension of its range of applications.
- a container of the aforementioned type is thus modified by the fact that the front wall has a removal opening which is provided with a flap pivotable about a substantially horizontal axis.
- a hinged flap allows access to the contents of the container from the front, without having to access the top of the container, so even without having to lift off about it set up a second container before. Nevertheless, the nestability of the container is not affected by this removal opening, since the flap, as mentioned, is designed to be pivotable.
- the flap In the swung-out state, the flap preferably forms a removal compartment and for this purpose has a boundary wall at least on its front side. Preferably, however, not only the front of the flap is provided with a boundary wall, but all the sides of the flap, which come to lie in the swung-out state outside the front wall of the container.
- a removal compartment is suitable, for example, for sales presentation of round or roll goods, for foods such as onions, potatoes and apples, which can then be removed by customers from the removal tray, after which slips from the container interior goods in the removal tray.
- the flap can also form a drawer in the swung-out state, which extends from the lower edge of the removal opening downwards to a contact surface of the container.
- This means that the pivot axis of the flap is arranged at the bottom of the removal opening.
- this container is a classic horde for storing in particular potatoes and apples. Nevertheless, this horde is further nestable by the pivotability of the invention according to the invention, which offers the advantages mentioned in the delivery and sale of the container.
- the flap is provided with locking elements for latching in the swung-out state, so that it thereby obtains a stability, which makes unnecessary an application to a bottom or table surface or a support surface of a container arranged underneath.
- such locking elements can essentially by notches on the circumferential Be formed boundary wall, which receive the removal opening bounding edges of the front wall elastically latching.
- the circumferential boundary wall of the flap can also be provided with projections on its container-side edges, which engage behind the removal opening bounding edges of the front wall and thereby form a stop for the pivoting movement.
- the two side walls each have a passage opening in the region of their upper boundaries, wherein the passage openings are preferably bounded above by the peripheral upper edge, which is then formed in the passage openings as a handle.
- the container according to the invention is preferably made of plastic, wherein the pivotable flap is integrally formed by means of a film hinge to the front wall. He is thus inexpensive to produce as an injection molded part.
- the container according to the invention preferably has at least in the region of its bottom a number of openings for aeration of the container contents.
- the container according to the invention although it is preferably made as a plastic injection molded part, the classic horde for storing potatoes and fruits, which can not only be produced inexpensively, but by their nestability is also inexpensive to sell.
- FIGS. 1 to 5 illustrated embodiment of a container comprises a bottom 1, a front wall 2, a rear wall 3 and two side walls 4.
- the said walls form at their upper boundaries a circumferential upper edge 5, which is shaped like a roof outwardly cantilevered to a visually pleasing as haptic Width of the upper edge of the container to ensure.
- the container is made of plastic and is manufactured by injection molding. All the walls are inclined to a plane formed by the upper edge 5 and their vertical, so that the container is nestable, that is, that an upper container can be immersed in a container standing underneath. This saves valuable space during transport and storage of several containers.
- the lower edge of the removal opening 6 is a piece pulled into the surface of the bottom 1 and carries a hinged on a film hinge 11 flap 7. This is on those sides, the swung-flap lie outside the front wall 2 in front of the container, provided with a peripheral boundary wall 8 to a removal tray or a Charge to form. In the present case, the peripheral boundary wall 8 is guided completely around the flap 7, with only the area of the film hinge 11 remaining free.
- the side walls 4 of the container are provided with passage openings 9 in the region of their upper boundary, wherein these passage openings 9 are bounded above by the peripheral upper edge 5, which is formed there in each case as a handle 10.
- the handles 10 in conjunction with the access openings 9 ensure easy handling of the present container.
- the bottom 1 of the container with respect to a riot plane 12 to the front wall 2 is designed sloping down, whereby it forms an inclined plane with the swung-flap 7.
- the container thus represents a classic horde for storing, for example, potatoes.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Dieser Behälter umfasst einen Boden, eine Vorderwand, eine Rückwand, zwei Seitenwände und einen von den oberen Begrenzungen der Vorder-, Rück- und Seitenwände gebildeten, umlaufenden oberen Rand.The present invention relates to a container according to the preamble of
Die Wände des vorliegenden Behälters verjüngen sich zum Boden hin derart, dass der Behälter nestbar ist, also dass mehrere Behälter so aufeinander gestapelt werden können, dass jeweils ein Behälter in den jeweils darunterliegenden Behälter zumindest teilweise eintaucht.The walls of the present container taper towards the bottom in such a way that the container is nestable, that is to say that a plurality of containers can be stacked on one another so that in each case one container at least partially dips into the respectively underlying container.
Solche nestbaren Behälter sind weit verbreitet. Durch die Nestbarkeit ergibt sich ein vorteilhaft kleiner Platzbedarf beim Transport und bei der Aufbewahrung, insbesondere zum Zweck des Verkaufs. Gleichzeitig kommt die nestbare Ausbildung eines Behälters, wenn dieser aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist, einer Herstellung desselben im Spritzgussverfahren entgegen; denn die sich aufgrund der Verjüngung der Vorder-, Rück- und Seitenwände ergebende Neigung derselben stellt eine leichte Entnahme des frisch spritzgegossenen Behälters aus dem Spritzgießwerkzeug sicher. An dieser Stelle sei angemerkt, dass diese Neigung der Vorder-, Rück- und Seitenwände im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung jeweils auf die gegenüberliegenden Wände bezogen ist, und nicht etwa auf die Ebene des Bodens oder des umlaufenden oberen Randes. Bezogen auf den oberen umlaufenden Rand könnte beispielsweise die Rückwand im rechten Winkel verlaufend ausgebildet sein, wobei dann die Vorderwand umso mehr gegen diesen rechtwinkligen Verlauf geneigt ausgebildet ist, um eine Verjüngung des Behälters zum Boden hin zu gewährleisten.Such nestable containers are widely used. The nestability results in an advantageously small footprint during transport and storage, especially for the purpose of sale. At the same time, the nestable formation of a container, when it is made of plastic, counteracts production thereof by injection molding; because the resulting due to the taper of the front, rear and side walls tendency same ensures easy removal of the freshly injection-molded container from the injection mold. It should be noted that this inclination of the front, rear and side walls in the context of the present invention is in each case based on the opposite walls, and not on the level of the bottom or the peripheral upper edge. For example, based on the upper peripheral edge, the rear wall could be designed to run at right angles, with the front wall all the more is formed inclined against this rectangular course to ensure a taper of the container to the ground.
Des weiteren ist ein Behälter der vorliegenden Art an seinem oberen Rand und/oder an seinem Boden mit Aufstandsflächen und/oder Stützen versehen, die es ermöglichen, zwei Behälter aufeinanderzustellen bzw. mehrere Behälter aufeinanderzustapeln, ohne dass diese ineinander eintauchen, trotzdem die Behälter an sich nestbar sind. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erzielt werden, dass der umlaufende obere Rand des Behälters an der oberen Begrenzung der Rückwand mit beispielsweise zwei Aufstandsflächen versehen ist, auf die zwei korrespondierende, am Boden des Behälters angeordnete Stützen gestellt und vorzugsweise gegen ein Verrutschen gesichert werden können. Wenn der Behälter im Übergangsbereich zwischen seinem Boden und seiner Seitenwände mit weiteren Stützen versehen ist, die in Aufstandsflächen gestellt werden können, welche im Bereich des umlaufenden oberen Randes, an den oberen Begrenzungen der Seitenwände, vorgesehen sind, kann ein erster Behälter, der genestet in einen zweiten Behälter eintaucht, aus diesem zweiten Behälter herausgehoben und ganz einfach nach hinten versetzt werden, um auf den unteren Behälter aufgestellt werden zu können.Furthermore, a container of the present type is provided at its upper edge and / or at its bottom with footprints and / or supports, which make it possible to stack two containers or stack several containers without these dive into each other, but the container itself are nestable. This can for example be achieved in that the peripheral upper edge of the container is provided at the upper boundary of the rear wall with, for example, two contact surfaces, placed on the two corresponding, arranged at the bottom of the container supports and preferably can be secured against slipping. If the container is provided in the transition region between its bottom and its side walls with further supports which can be placed in contact areas, which are provided in the region of the peripheral upper edge, at the upper boundaries of the side walls, a first container which is nested in dips a second container, lifted out of this second container and are easily moved backwards to be placed on the lower container can.
Ein in diesem Punkt anders ausgestaltetes Beispiel für einen Behälter der eingangs genannten Art ist in der
Nestbare und dennoch aufeinander stapelbare Behälter werden im Fall der eben genannten Gebrauchsmusterschrift beispielsweise als Wäschekorb verwendet; oft dienen solche Behälter auch zur Bevorratung von Lebensmitteln. Wenn es sich bei diesen Lebensmitteln um solche handelt, die nicht möglichst ohne Frischluftzufuhr gelagert werden sollen, oder die gar luftig gelagert werden müssen, wie zum Beispiel Zwiebeln und Kartoffeln, kommen Behälter der eingangs genannten Art, jedenfalls wenn sie aus Kunststoff bestehen, allerdings kaum zum Einsatz. Derartige Lebensmittel werden üblicherweise in -nicht nestbaren- Horden oder in nach vorne offenen, stapelbaren Obst- oder Gemüsekisten aus Holz gelagert, da dort eine Entnahme der Lebensmittel von der Vorderseite der Behälter her möglich ist, ohne einen oder gar mehrere Behälter von demjenigen Behälter herunternehmen zu müssen, aus dem etwas entnommen werden soll.Nestable yet stackable containers are used in the case of the aforementioned utility model example, as a laundry basket; often such containers also serve for the storage of food. If these foods are those that are not to be stored without supply of fresh air, or even stored airy, such as onions and potatoes, come container of the type mentioned, at least if they are made of plastic, however hardly used. Such foods are usually stored in non-nestable hurdles or in forward-open, stackable wooden fruit or vegetable crates because there removal of the food from the front of the containers is possible without taking one or more containers from that container from which something is to be taken.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter der eingangs genannten Art hinsichtlich einer Erweiterung seines Einsatzspektrums zu verbessern.The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to improve a container of the type mentioned in terms of an extension of its range of applications.
Gelöst ist diese Aufgabe durch einen Behälter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen dieses Behälters finden sich in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 14.This object is achieved by a container having the features of
Nach der vorliegenden Erfindung wird ein Behälter der eingangs genannten Art also dadurch modifiziert, dass die Vorderwand eine Entnahmeöffnung aufweist, die mit einer um eine im Wesentlichen horizontale Achse schwenkbaren Klappe versehen ist. Eine solche schwenkbare Klappe ermöglicht einen Zugang zum Inhalt des Behälters von vorne, ohne von oben auf den Behälter zugreifen zu müssen, also auch ohne einen etwa darauf aufgestellten zweiten Behälter zuvor abheben zu müssen. Gleichwohl wird durch diese Entnahmeöffnung die Nestbarkeit des Behälters nicht beeinträchtigt, da die Klappe, wie erwähnt, schwenkbar ausgebildet ist.According to the present invention, a container of the aforementioned type is thus modified by the fact that the front wall has a removal opening which is provided with a flap pivotable about a substantially horizontal axis. Such a hinged flap allows access to the contents of the container from the front, without having to access the top of the container, so even without having to lift off about it set up a second container before. Nevertheless, the nestability of the container is not affected by this removal opening, since the flap, as mentioned, is designed to be pivotable.
Die Klappe bildet im ausgeschwenkten Zustand vorzugsweise ein Entnahmefach und weist hierfür zumindest an ihrer Vorderseite eine Begrenzungswandung auf. Bevorzugterweise ist jedoch nicht nur die Vorderseite der Klappe mit einer Begrenzungswandung versehen, sondern sämtliche Seiten der Klappe, die im ausgeschwenkten Zustand außerhalb der Vorderwand des Behälters zu liegen kommen. Solch ein Entnahmefach eignet sich beispielsweise zur Verkaufspräsentation von runden bzw. rolligen Gütern, bei Lebensmitteln beispielsweise Zwiebeln, Kartoffeln und Äpfeln, die dann von Kunden aus dem Entnahmefach entnommen werden können, wonach aus dem Behälterinneren Ware in das Entnahmefach nachrutscht.In the swung-out state, the flap preferably forms a removal compartment and for this purpose has a boundary wall at least on its front side. Preferably, however, not only the front of the flap is provided with a boundary wall, but all the sides of the flap, which come to lie in the swung-out state outside the front wall of the container. Such a removal compartment is suitable, for example, for sales presentation of round or roll goods, for foods such as onions, potatoes and apples, which can then be removed by customers from the removal tray, after which slips from the container interior goods in the removal tray.
Die Klappe kann im ausgeschwenkten Zustand auch eine Lade bilden, welche sich vom unteren Rand der Entnahmeöffnung ausgehend nach unten bis zu einer Aufstandsebene des Behälters erstreckt. Dies bedeutet, dass die Schwenkachse der Klappe am unteren Rand der Entnahmeöffnung angeordnet ist. Wenn darüber hinaus der Boden des erfindungsgemäßen Behälters zur Vorderwand hin fallend ausgestaltet ist und zusammen mit der ausgeschwenkten Klappe im Wesentlichen eine schiefe Ebene bildet, handelt es sich bei diesem Behälter um eine klassische Horde zur Aufbewahrung von insbesondere Kartoffeln und Äpfeln. Gleichwohl ist diese Horde durch die erfindungsgemäße Schwenkbarkeit der Lade weiterhin nestbar, was die erwähnten Vorteile beim Ausliefern und Verkaufen des Behälters bietet.The flap can also form a drawer in the swung-out state, which extends from the lower edge of the removal opening downwards to a contact surface of the container. This means that the pivot axis of the flap is arranged at the bottom of the removal opening. Moreover, if the bottom of the container according to the invention is designed to fall down to the front wall and forms together with the swung flap substantially an inclined plane, this container is a classic horde for storing in particular potatoes and apples. Nevertheless, this horde is further nestable by the pivotability of the invention according to the invention, which offers the advantages mentioned in the delivery and sale of the container.
Besondere Vorteile ergeben sich, wenn zwei erfindungsgemäße Behälter so aufeinanderstellbar sind, dass der obere Behälter nach hinten versetzt auf dem unteren Behälter steht und der obere Rand der Vorderwand des unteren Behälters eine Auflagerfläche für die ausgeschwenkte Klappe des oberen Behälters bildet. Diese Auflagerfläche ersetzt dann eine Boden- oder Tischfläche, auf der der Behälter steht und auf der sich die Klappe nach unten abstützen kann, insbesondere wenn sie als Entnahmefach oder als Lade ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch ergeben sich für die Stabilität der schwenkbaren Klappe keine zusätzlichen Anforderungen aufgrund der zusätzlichen Stapelbarkeit des Behälters; auch ein auf einen anderen Behälter aufgestellter Behälter erhält dieselbe Unterstützung seiner Klappe im ausgeschwenkten Zustand, wie wenn er auf einer ebenen Boden- oder Tischfläche stehen würde.Particular advantages arise when two containers according to the invention are stackable so that the upper container is offset to the rear on the lower container and the upper edge of the front wall of the lower container forms a support surface for the swung-flap of the upper container. This support surface then replaces a floor or table surface on which the container stands and on which the flap can be supported downwards, in particular if it is designed as a removal compartment or as a drawer. This results in the stability of the hinged flap no additional requirements due to the additional stackability of the container; even a container placed on another container receives the same support of its flap in the swung out state, as if it were standing on a flat floor or table surface.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn die Klappe mit Rastelementen zum Einrasten im ausgeschwenkten Zustand versehen ist, so dass sie hierdurch eine Stabilität erhält, die gegebenenfalls ein Auflegen auf eine Boden- oder Tischfläche oder eine Auflagerfläche eines darunter angeordneten Behälters unnötig macht.Alternatively or additionally, it may be advantageous if the flap is provided with locking elements for latching in the swung-out state, so that it thereby obtains a stability, which makes unnecessary an application to a bottom or table surface or a support surface of a container arranged underneath.
Soweit die Klappe mit einer umlaufenden Begrenzungswandung versehen ist, können solche Rastelemente im Wesentlichen durch Einkerbungen an der umlaufenden Begrenzungswandung gebildet sein, welche die die Entnahmeöffnung begrenzenden Ränder der Vorderwand elastisch einrastend aufnehmen.As far as the flap is provided with a peripheral boundary wall, such locking elements can essentially by notches on the circumferential Be formed boundary wall, which receive the removal opening bounding edges of the front wall elastically latching.
Zusätzlich oder Alternativ zu solchen Rastelementen kann die umlaufende Begrenzungswandung der Klappe an ihren behälterseitigen Rändern auch mit Vorsprüngen versehen sein, welche die die Entnahmeöffnung begrenzenden Ränder der Vorderwand hintergreifen und hierdurch einen Anschlag für die Schwenkbewegung bilden.In addition or as an alternative to such latching elements, the circumferential boundary wall of the flap can also be provided with projections on its container-side edges, which engage behind the removal opening bounding edges of the front wall and thereby form a stop for the pivoting movement.
Zur besseren Handhabung des erfindungsgemäßen Behälters ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die beiden Seitenwände im Bereich von deren oberen Begrenzungen je eine Durchgriffsöffnung aufweisen, wobei die Durchgriffsöffnungen vorzugsweise nach oben vom umlaufenden oberen Rand begrenzt werden, der dann im Bereich der Durchgriffsöffnungen als Handgriff ausgebildet ist.For better handling of the container according to the invention, it is advantageous if the two side walls each have a passage opening in the region of their upper boundaries, wherein the passage openings are preferably bounded above by the peripheral upper edge, which is then formed in the passage openings as a handle.
Der erfindungsgemäße Behälter ist vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigt, wobei die schwenkbare Klappe mittels eines Filmscharniers an die Vorderwand angeformt ist. Er ist somit kostengünstig als Spritzgussteil herstellbar.The container according to the invention is preferably made of plastic, wherein the pivotable flap is integrally formed by means of a film hinge to the front wall. He is thus inexpensive to produce as an injection molded part.
Schließlich weist der erfindungsgemäße Behälter zumindest im Bereich seines Bodens vorzugsweise eine Anzahl von Öffnungen zur Belüftung des Behälterinhalts auf. Somit wird der erfindungsgemäße Behälter, trotzdem er bevorzugterweise als Kunststoff-Spritzgussteil hergestellt wird, zur klassischen Horde zur Bevorratung von Kartoffeln und Obst, welche nicht nur kostengünstig hergestellt werden kann, sondern durch deren Nestbarkeit ebenso kostengünstig im Vertrieb ist.Finally, the container according to the invention preferably has at least in the region of its bottom a number of openings for aeration of the container contents. Thus, the container according to the invention, although it is preferably made as a plastic injection molded part, the classic horde for storing potatoes and fruits, which can not only be produced inexpensively, but by their nestability is also inexpensive to sell.
