Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transport container according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such transport containers are usually made of plastic and are used for transporting numerous products, with a large market for bottle crates.
  • bottle crates have a base and a circumferential side wall consisting of four walls, between which receptacles for certain beverage bottles are provided.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a transport container in which traces of wear are either avoided or at least do not appear optically to the same extent as with transport containers that have been used so far, so that such transport containers can be kept in circulation longer under the same transport conditions the previously used.
  • the transport container according to the invention is characterized in that a structure with groove-like depressions is provided at least in some areas on one or more outer surfaces of the container, the depths and widths of which are in the range from 0.01 to 1 mm, the distance between the depressions in one area from 0.01 to 0.7 mm is provided.
  • the depressions are present in a multiplicity and very closely spaced, so that a so-called brush structure is formed by the depressions, i. a structure such as is created, for example, by a rotating brush or grinding belt guided on a smooth surface when building up a structure of a ski bearing.
  • a structure of such furrow-like depressions can cover up traces of wear which are caused during transport and which are present in the form of scratches.
  • such a brush structure results in a visually pleasing design.
  • the structure is particularly preferably applied so as to run essentially parallel or perpendicular to a delimiting edge of the walls or of the floor. Then the structure runs essentially in the direction in which the wear occurs during transport.
  • the depressions of a structure preferably run essentially parallel to one another, since scratches running parallel can then be largely concealed.
  • the depressions of all structures preferably run essentially parallel to one another. However, it can be provided that the depressions are oriented differently in certain structures, even if the course of wear is different here due to handling.
  • the structure is provided on the boundary edges between the walls. Furthermore, the structure can advantageously also be provided on the delimiting edges between the walls and the floor and, moreover, the structure can advantageously be provided on the upper edge of the wall, in particular in the area of the handle recess.
  • one or more, in particular central areas of the outer surfaces of the walls are arranged set back inwardly with respect to the other areas. These recessed areas are then subject to less wear and tear and can preferably be used for the application of prints and the like. For identification, advertising and the like. ⁇ . Be used.
  • the brush structure is provided in the surface area and / or in the area near the surface.
  • the depressions preferably have a depth of 0.03 mm to 0.07 mm, in particular 0.05 mm to 0.06 mm. Then wear and tear are concealed particularly comprehensively. Wear is also comprehensively concealed or completely prevented if the width of the depressions, at least in the area of the surface of the bottom wall, is preferably 0.03 to 0.07 mm, in particular 0.05 to 0.06 mm.
  • the width of the depressions at the bottom of the depression is then dependent on the geometric shape of the depressions, with wedge-like or rounded shapes being preferred.
  • the distances between adjacent furrows are also advantageously in the aforementioned areas.
  • the structure is a brush structure that can be easily produced, for example, by etching or eroding.
  • the length of the depressions is advantageously between 1 mm and 50 mm, preferably 2 mm to 10 mm and in particular not all depressions are of the same length, that is to say that the length of the multiplicity of depressions in a structure follows a statistical distribution within the specified length limits.
  • the possibility of concealing wear and tear can be increased in that the depressions have a distance of 0.05 to 0.7 mm, in particular 0.3 mm, from one another.
  • the distance to one another is determined by the outer edges of the depressions.
  • Such brush structures are generally known, but up to now they have only been used for the surface design of foils, for example, in order to increase the grip, but not for transport boxes. In this context, the inventors recognized that such brush structures can be used advantageously for concealing scratches.
  • Fig. 1 shows purely schematically a first embodiment of the transport container according to the invention in the form of a bottle crate 1, which has a circumferential side wall 2, consisting of the four walls 3, 4, 5, 6, a base 7 and a receiving area 8 for numerous bottles (not shown).
  • the boundary edges 9, 10, 11, 12 between the walls 3, 4, 5, 6, the boundary edges 13, 14 between the walls 3, 4, 5, 6 and the bottom 7 and the upper edge 15, 16 of the walls 3, 4, 5, 6, in particular in the area of the handle recesses 17, 18, 19, 20 of the walls 3, 4, 5, 6 are provided with a structure 21 which has a plurality of substantially parallel recesses 22.
  • the recesses 22 are in Fig. 1 indicated only schematically by the dash-dotted lines.
  • the recesses 22 are aligned essentially parallel to the delimiting edges 13, 14 between the walls 3, 4, 5, 6 and the base 7.
  • areas 23, 24 are provided, which are set back inwardly to the receiving area 8 of the bottle crate 1 with respect to the areas provided with the structure 21.
  • These areas are centrally arranged areas 23, 24 which are provided as areas for product identification. Prints or stickers can be attached here.
  • the bottle crate 1 When transporting the bottle crate 1 or its general manipulation in use, the bottle crate 1 will often come into contact with walls, guide aids or other bottle crates 1, in most cases a horizontal displacement of the bottle crate 1 relative to these other objects, i.e. H. a displacement parallel to the floor 7. In this way, the surface areas 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 of the bottle crate 1 that come into contact with the other objects show signs of wear due to scraping and scratch marks.
  • Fig. 2 a corner area of the same bottle crate 1 'is shown, which is provided in the same areas 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 with a structure 21', which, however, consists of recesses 22 running closer together than the closer ones the drawn lines indicate purely schematically.
  • the structure 21 ' is a brush structure that is shown in FIG Fig. 3 for area X.
  • Fig. 2 Partially enlarged is shown.
  • Fig. 3 It can be seen that the depressions 22 'are not exactly parallel but essentially parallel to one another, ie that the depressions as a whole follow a preferred direction, namely in this case the alignment of the structure 21' along the upper delimiting edge 30 of the wall 4.
  • the brush structure was produced by erosion, the depressions 22 'having a length of approximately 2 to 10 mm and a depth of approximately 0.05 to 0.06 mm.
  • the present invention can provide transport containers in which traces of wear are either avoided or at least do not appear to the same extent visually as with transport containers that have been customary so far, so that the transport containers are identical Transport conditions can be kept in circulation longer than previously used.
