Abstract

The locking device (1) includes a locking spring (8) that is arranged at a first hinge joint portion (6) and cooperates with the first arm (9) of a pivoting bracket (4). The first arm is arranged opposite to the pivoting bracket's second arm (10)retained by a second hinge joint portion (7).

Description

The invention relates to a cover display for a transport container according to the preamble of claim 1.

From the WO 2008/041988 A1 is a generic lid display known. In the open position, the two half-shells of this lid stand can be fixed by two webs, which engage in slot-like recesses of the other half.

However, this generic cover display is in need of improvement insofar as the open lid during loading or unloading of the container can fail unintentionally due to the lack of a sufficient determination by the purely non-positively acting arrangement and result in injury hazards.

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a cover display for a transport container according to the type mentioned in the preamble, which allows reliable locking of the open lid.

The solution of this object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

By providing a flexible locking spring on an underside of one of the hinge parts, the cover display device according to the invention makes it possible for a bracket element to be guided by this locking spring to a locking position corresponding to the open position of the cover and held there. In this locking position, the first bracket leg of the swivel bracket is located by the action of the locking spring in a space between a locking range of the locking spring and an end face of the first hinge part. As a result, an accidental Zufunden a container provided with the lid carrier transport container is safely avoided.

To open the pivoted half-shell is pivoted back into the closed position, wherein the holding arm held by the stirrup leg pushes back a flexible holding portion of the locking spring and, preferably over bevels, in a bottom portion of the half shell, in which Ironing leg is no longer restrained by the locking spring and thus a closing of the swung-half shell or the lid portion of the transport container arranged thereon is made possible.

The dependent claims have advantageous developments of the invention to the content.

Further details, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment with reference to the drawing.

In Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the lid upright 1 according to the invention shown. How out Fig. 1 it can be seen, this cover stand 1, a first half-shell 2 and a second half-shell 3, which are trough-shaped, and a swivel bracket 4, which is arranged on a bottom portion 2a of the first half-shell 2 and a bottom portion 3a of the second half-shell 3. On the upper side of the first and second half-shells 2, 3, a hinge 5 is further arranged, which has a first hinge part 6 and a second hinge part 7, wherein the first hinge part 6 on the first bottom portion 2a is fixed and the second hinge part 7 is fixed on the second bottom portion 3a.

How out Fig. 1 Furthermore, it can be seen, the second hinge part 7 has a holding device 7a, which holds a bracket leg 10 of the pivot bracket 4 pivotally mounted on the end face of the trough-shaped second half-shell 3. This holding device 7a is described below with reference to Fig. 4 and 5 be described in more detail.

In Fig. 2 is a partial side view of the partially cut open lid 1 illustrated. How out Fig. 2 can be seen, a locking spring 8 is fixed to the first hinge part 6, which has a substantially V-shaped flexible holding portion 12 which is disposed between a first fixing portion 13 and a second fixing portion 14 to which the locking spring 8 is fixed to the first hinge part 6 , How out Fig. 2 can be seen, protrude from the bottom portion 2a of the first half-shell 2 two chamfers 11 to the interior of the first half-shell 2, of which in this sectional view, only a ramp 11 is visible.

Based on Fig. 3 the function of the lid erector 1 according to the invention will be described in detail below. While Fig. 1 illustrates a closed position of the hinge 5, shows Fig. 3 a position of the lid upright 1 according to the invention, wherein the second hinge part 7 and the half-shell 3 attached thereto at an angle of at least 90 ° from the in Fig. 1 shown horizontal (ie closed) position of the hinge 5 (or provided with the lid display 1, but not shown transport container) are pivoted counterclockwise. In this in Fig. 3 shown opening position of the lid 1, the first bracket leg 9 of the pivot bracket 4 between the bottom portion 2a of the first half-shell 2 and the holding portion 12 of the locking spring 8 is positioned and locked.

When closing the lid of the transport container (ie pivoting back of the hinge parts 6, 7 in the in Fig. 1 shown position) of the held by the holding means 7a of the second hinge part 7 stirrup leg 10 of the pivot bracket 4 is pivoted clockwise downwards. Further, the opposite becomes Stirrup leg 9 of the swivel bracket 4 from the locked position between the bottom portion 2 a of the first half-shell 2 and the holding portion 12 of the locking spring 8 in the direction of the second half-shell 3 pulled. Here, the stirrup leg 9 deforms the flexible holding portion 12 of the locking spring 8 and moves in the further course of movement over the ramp (s) 11 away up to an end position on the bottom portion 2a, the in Fig. 1 illustrated closed position of the lid erector 1 corresponds.

From the synopsis of the plan view of the second hinge part 7 of Fig. 4 and the perspective view of Fig. 5 is the structure of the holding device 7a for holding the second stirrup leg 10 of the pivot bracket 4 in the region of the end face 19 of the second half-shell 3 can be seen. In particular, the second half-shell 3 comprises in its bottom region 3 a two inwardly projecting recesses 15 a and 15 b (see Fig. 5 ). The end face 19 of the second half-shell 3 forms in each case a first, substantially perpendicular wall section 21, and the indentations 15a, 15b form a circular segment-shaped or approximately semicircular second wall section 22 and a third, horizontally extending wall section 23. The over the second half-shell 3 arranged second hinge part 7 has two indentations 16 a and 16 b, which are arranged offset to the indentations 15 a and 15 b in the second half-shell 3. These indentations 16a and 16 have, with respect to the plane of the hinge part 7, an obliquely downwardly extending first wall region 24, a substantially horizontally extending second wall region 25 and an obliquely upward-extending third wall region 26. The first, second and third wall regions 21, 22 and 23 in the bottom region 3 a of the second half shell 3 and the first, second and third wall regions 24, 25 and 26 of the indentations 16 a and 16 b in the hinge part 7 form a receiving space 20 in which the bar leg 10 the swivel bracket 4 is held stationary and rotatable.

By means of the above-described, simply constructed lid display according to the invention, it is thus possible with a minimal number of components to securely lock the covers of common transport containers in the open position and to prevent the lid from being inadvertently when the container is being loaded or unloaded falls. When closing the lid of the transport container, the locking of the swivel bracket 4 can be solved again without much effort.

In addition to the above description, it should be noted that the fixing portion 13 of the locking spring 8 is movably guided on the associated hinge part 6 and loosely rests on this and according to the in FIGS. 2 and 3 selected representation escapes upward when the bracket is moved.

Furthermore, it is possible in principle, form the lid display according to the invention without a hinge with its hinge parts. In this case, the hinge parts can be installed in the region of the transport container, so that the two half-shells 2 and 3 are connected to each other by suitable fixing of the swivel bracket 4 to these half shells only on the swivel bracket.

To supplement the disclosure is explicitly to the drawings of the invention in the FIGS. 1 to 5 directed.
