  • the lid is attached to the container wall with a hinge.
  • the lid To load the container, the lid must either be held open by hand or swiveled about 270 ° over the container wall until it reaches a stable position. In order to perform this pivoting movement, a correspondingly large space is required behind the container. In particular, leave the lids of larger containers Do not move from the side of the container opposite the hinges to the stable position, as the lid must be held at a distance that can not be reached by hand.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a container of the type mentioned with an improved attachment of the lid.
  • this object is achieved in that the hinge are attached to the upper edge of a side wall at a distance from the corners thereof.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter, insbesondere Palettenbehälter, der einen Boden, Seitenwände und einen an einer der Seitenwände verschwenkbar angeordneten Deckel sowie Gleitlager aufweist, an denen der Decke! befestigt ist und die mit einer Oberkante der einen Seitenwand durch Scharniere verbunden sind und mittels deren der Decke! in einer zu der Oberkante senkrechten Richtung verschiebbar gelagert ist.The invention relates to a container, in particular pallet container, having a bottom, side walls and a lid on one of the side walls pivotally mounted and sliding bearing, where the ceiling! is fixed and which are connected to an upper edge of a side wall by hinges and by means of the ceiling! is slidably mounted in a direction perpendicular to the top edge.

Ein solcher Behälter geht aus der WO00/30946 hervor. An oberen Ecken einer Seitenwand sind schwenkbar um einen Schwenkstift winklige Schwenkführungen angeordnet, deren oberer Flansch über einen unteren Flansch einer an einem äußeren Rand des Deckels angebrachten winkligen Seitenstange greift und an denen entlang der Deckel verschiebbar ist.Such a container goes out of the WO00 / 30946 out. At an upper corner of a side wall are pivotally mounted pivotable about a pivot pin pivot guides whose upper flange engages over a lower flange of an attached to an outer edge of the lid angled side bar and along which the cover is slidable.

Aus der WO91/12999 geht ein Transportbehälter hervor, dessen Deckel Bandabwicklungen umfasst, die mit einer länglichen Ausnehmung versehen sind. Durch Ausnehmungen sind an Ecken des Transportbehälters angeordnete Gitterstäbe des Behälters geführt, entlang denen sich der Deckel verschieben lässt.From the WO91 / 12999 goes out a transport container whose lid comprises Bandabwicklungen, which are provided with an elongated recess. By recesses arranged at corners of the transport container bars of the container are guided along which the lid can be moved.

Bei weiteren durch Benutzung bekannten Behältern ist der Deckel mit einem Scharnier an der Behälterwand befestigt. Zum Beladen des Behälters muss der Deckel entweder von Hand offen gehalten werden oder um etwa 270 ° über die Behälterwand geschwenkt werden, bis er eine stabile Position erreicht. Um diese Verschwenkbewegung durchführen zu können, wird hinter dem Behälter ein entsprechend großer Raum benötigt. Insbesondere die Deckel größerer Behälter lassen sich von der den Scharnieren gegenüberliegenden Seite des Behälters aus nicht in die stabile Position bringen, da der Deckel dazu in einer Entfernung geführt werden muss, die mit der Hand nicht mehr erreichbar ist.In other containers known by use, the lid is attached to the container wall with a hinge. To load the container, the lid must either be held open by hand or swiveled about 270 ° over the container wall until it reaches a stable position. In order to perform this pivoting movement, a correspondingly large space is required behind the container. In particular, leave the lids of larger containers Do not move from the side of the container opposite the hinges to the stable position, as the lid must be held at a distance that can not be reached by hand.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter der eingangs genannten Art mit einer verbesserten Befestigung des Deckels zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a container of the type mentioned with an improved attachment of the lid.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Scharnier an der Oberkante der einen Seitenwand in Abstand von deren Ecken befestigt sind.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the hinge are attached to the upper edge of a side wall at a distance from the corners thereof.

Zum Öffnen des Behälters wird der Deckel aus seiner Schließposition, in der er auf den Seitenwänden oben aufliegt, zunächst etwas verschwenkt dann über die Oberkante bzw. die Scharniere geschoben und schließlich so weit zur Außenseite derjenigen Seitenwand, an der die Scharniere befestigt sind, weiter verschwenkt, bis er dort in der stabilen Position anliegt bzw. hängt.To open the container lid is first pivoted from its closed position in which it rests on the side walls above, then over the top edge and pushed the hinges and finally so far to the outside of that side wall to which the hinges are attached, further pivoted until it rests there in the stable position or hang.

Da der Deckel dabei nur um 90 ° verschwenkt und gleichzeitig verschoben wird, wird hinter und über dem erfindungsgemäßen Behälter wesentlich weniger Raum benötigt als bei den bekannten Behältern. Wird der Deckel zunächst senkrecht zu den Seitenwänden aufgeklappt und erst anschließend nach unten verschoben, steht auf der letztgenannten Seite des Behälters lediglich ein etwa der Dicke des Deckels entsprechender zusätzlicher Raumbedarf.Since the lid is pivoted only 90 ° and simultaneously moved, much less space is required behind and above the container according to the invention as in the known containers. If the lid is first unfolded perpendicular to the side walls and only then moved down, is on the latter side of the container only about the thickness of the lid corresponding additional space.

Auch der Deckel eines großen Behälters, wie beispielsweise eines Palettenbehälters, kann von der den Scharnieren gegenüberliegenden Seite des Behälters aus geöffnet und geschlossen werden, da der Deckel auch in der geöffneten Stellung mit der Hand erreicht werden kann.Also, the lid of a large container, such as a pallet container, can be opened and closed from the side of the container opposite the hinges, since the lid can be reached by hand even in the open position.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist der feststehende Teil des Gleitlagers mit den Scharnieren verbunden und der bewegliche Teil des Gleitlagers am Deckel befestigt.Appropriately, the fixed part of the sliding bearing is connected to the hinges and the movable part of the sliding bearing attached to the lid.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der feststehende Teil eine Buchse, die vorzugsweise einteilig mit dem Scharnier gebildet ist und der bewegliche Teil eine an dem Deckel befestigte Stange.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the fixed part is a bush, which is preferably formed integrally with the hinge, and the movable part is a rod fixed to the cover.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Deckel mit einer Halterung versehen, mit der er an der Oberkante, an der die Scharniere befestigt sind, eingehängt oder aufgelegt werden kann. Der Deckel kann somit in eine stabile geöffnete Position gebracht werden, in der er über die genannte Oberkante nach oben vorsteht.Conveniently, the lid is provided with a holder with which it can be hung or placed on the top edge to which the hinges are attached. The lid can thus be brought into a stable open position in which it projects upwards over said upper edge.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Seitenwände an den senkrechten Behälterkanten verbunden und sind zusammenfaltbar. Die Seitenwände passen im zusammengefalteten Zustand auf den Boden und unter den Deckel und können derart flach zusammengepackt werden, dass gemeinsam mit dem Boden und dem Deckel eine geschlossene Packung entsteht. Der zusammengelegte Behälter nimmt, beispielsweise beim Rücktransport, wesentlich weniger Raum ein als der aufgestellte.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the side walls are connected to the vertical container edges and are collapsible. The sidewalls fit in the folded state on the floor and under the lid and can be packed so flat that together with the bottom and the lid creates a closed package. The collapsed container takes, for example, during return transport, much less space than the established.

Während es vorstellbar wäre, die Seitenwände in einer achteckigen oder sonstigen faltbaren Form anzuordnen, ist der Behälter in einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung im aufgestellten Zustand quaderförmig und die an die mit den Scharnieren versehene Seitenwand angrenzenden Seitenwände in ihrer Mitte mit einer zu den senkrechten Behälterkanten parallelen Faltlinie versehen. Wenn die Seitenwände zusammengefaltet sind, liegen die durch die Faltlinie getrennten Seitenwandteile aneinander und zwischen den beiden anderen Seitenwänden.While it would be conceivable to arrange the side walls in an octagonal or other foldable form, the container in a preferred embodiment of the invention in the erected state is cuboid and the one with the hinges Provided sidewall adjacent side walls provided in its center with a fold line parallel to the vertical container edges. When the side walls are folded together, the side wall parts separated by the fold line lie against each other and between the other two side walls.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Boden an seinem Rand mit einer umlaufenden Rille versehen, in die die Seitenwände einzustecken und abzustützen sind und somit einen festen Halt finden.Conveniently, the bottom is provided at its edge with a circumferential groove into which the side walls are to be inserted and supported and thus find a firm grip.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist eine der Seitenwände an ihrer Unterkante durch ein weiteres Scharnier mit dem Boden verbunden und das Scharnier ist am Boden senkrecht zur Ebene des Bodens verschiebbar gelagert.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, one of the side walls is connected at its lower edge by another hinge to the ground and the hinge is slidably mounted at the bottom perpendicular to the plane of the ground.

Der Deckel, die Seitenwände und der Boden sind sowohl im aufgestellten als auch im zusammengefalteten Zustand stets miteinander verbunden und es besteht keine Gefahr mehr, einen Teil des Behälters zu verlieren. Insbesondere sind für den Transport des Behälters keine zusätzlichen Verbindungsmittel mehr notwendig.The lid, the side walls and the bottom are always connected to each other in the erected as well as in the folded state and there is no longer any danger of losing part of the container. In particular, no additional connecting means are necessary for the transport of the container.

Ist der Behälter aufgestellt, sitzt das Scharniergelenk in der Rille und beim Zusammenlegen verschiebt es sich in den Abstand vom Boden, in dem die mit dem Boden verbundene Seitenwand auf den anderen Seitenwänden liegt. Das Scharnier lässt sich also zumindest über eine Strecke verschieben, die der Summe der Dicken der anderen Seitenwände entspricht.When the container is set up, the hinge joint sits in the groove and, when folded, shifts to the distance from the floor where the side wall connected to the floor lies on the other side walls. The hinge can thus be moved at least over a distance that corresponds to the sum of the thicknesses of the other side walls.

Zweckmäßigerweise sind die genannten Scharniere an der Ober- und der Unterkante derselben Seitenwand angeordnet.Conveniently, said hinges are arranged on the upper and lower edges of the same side wall.

Um den Behälter aufzubauen, werden die zusammengefalteten Seitenwände zusammen mit dem Deckel senkrecht zum Boden verschwenkt. Anschließend werden die Seitenwände aufgefaltet und können in die Rillen am Boden eingesetzt werden.To build the container, the folded side walls are pivoted together with the lid perpendicular to the ground. Subsequently, the side walls are unfolded and can be inserted into the grooves on the floor.

Zur besseren Befestigung der Seitenwände am Boden sind an der Rille Rastnasen angeordnet, die zum Eingriff in Ausnehmungen der Seitenwände vorgesehen sind.For better attachment of the side walls at the bottom locking lugs are arranged on the groove, which are provided for engagement in recesses of the side walls.

Während es vorstellbar ist, den Behälter in allen möglichen Größen und Formen herzustellen, weist der Boden vorzugsweise nach unten ausgeformte Vertiefungen als Füße auf, zwischen denen Platz für den Eingriff der Hubgabel eines Gabelstaplers ist.While it is conceivable to make the container in all possible sizes and shapes, the bottom preferably has downwardly-shaped depressions as feet, between which there is room for the engagement of the forklift of a forklift.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist eine durch eine Feder in einer Rastposition gehaltene und mit dem Fuß in die geöffnete Stellung verschiebbare Raste zum Eingriff in eine in der dortigen Seitenwand angeordnete Ausnehmung vorgesehen.In a further embodiment of the invention, a detent held by a spring in a detent position and displaceable with the foot into the open position is provided for engagement in a recess arranged in the side wall thereof.

Durch die Raste werden die Seitenwände besser im Boden verankert.By the catch, the side walls are better anchored in the ground.

Wird die Raste aus ihrer Schließposition bewegt, können die Seitenwände gleichzeitig mit beiden Händen aus der Rille gehoben werden.If the catch is moved out of its closed position, the side walls can be lifted out of the groove with both hands at the same time.

Der mit 1 bezeichnete Behälter weist einen Boden 2, Seitenwände 3a bis 3d und einen Deckel 4 auf.The designated 1 container has a bottom 2, side walls 3a to 3d and a lid 4.

Der Boden 2 besteht aus einem Kunststoffformteil und hat an seinen vier Ecken Füße 30, die als Vertiefungen des Bodens 2 geformt sind und zwischen denen Platz für Eingriff einer Hubgabel eines Gabelstaplers ist. Wie aus den Figuren 5 und 7 hervorgeht, ist der Boden 2 an seinem Rand mit einer umlaufenden Rille 11 versehen. In den Figuren 6c und 7 ist gezeigt, dass er an seinen beiden kürzeren Seiten jeweils zwei über einen Steg mit dem Boden 2 verbundene und zur Seite vorstehende Rastnasen 12 aufweist.The bottom 2 consists of a plastic molding and has at its four corners of feet 30 which are formed as depressions of the bottom 2 and between which is space for engagement of a lifting fork of a forklift. Like from the Figures 5 and 7 shows, the bottom 2 is provided at its edge with a circumferential groove 11. In the FIGS. 6c and 7 is shown that it has on its two shorter sides in each case two via a web to the bottom 2 connected and projecting to the side locking lugs 12.

Die vier Seitenwände 3a bis 3d bestehen aus einem etwa nach Art von Wellpappe aufgebauten Kunststoff-Material und sind an ihren senkrechten Kanten derart verschweißt, dass sie dort gefaltet werden können. Ferner sind die kürzeren Seitenwände 3c,3d in ihrer Mitte mit einer zu den Kanten 9 parallelen und ebenfalls geschweißten Faltlinie 29 versehen.The four side walls 3a to 3d consist of a plastic material constructed approximately in the manner of corrugated cardboard and are welded at their vertical edges in such a way that they can be folded there. Furthermore, the shorter side walls 3c, 3d in their middle with a parallel to the edges 9 and also welded fold line 29 provided.

Wie insbesondere aus den Figuren 6a und 6b hervorgeht, sind die Seitenwände 3c,3d an ihrer Unterseite mit jeweils zwei mit Kunststoff verstärkten, zum Eingriff der Rastnasen 12 vorgesehenen Ausnehmungen 13 versehen. An ihrer Oberseite weisen die Seitenwände 3c,3d eine weitere Ausnehmung 28 auf.As in particular from the Figures 6a and 6b shows, the side walls 3c, 3d are provided on its underside with two plastic reinforced, provided for engagement of the locking lugs 12 recesses 13. On its upper side, the side walls 3c, 3d have a further recess 28.

An der vorderen Seitenwand 3a ist eine Ladeklappe 24 vorgesehen.On the front side wall 3a, a loading flap 24 is provided.

An der Unterseite der hinteren Seitenwand 3b sind zwei Scharniere 15 angeordnet, die den Boden 2 und die Seitenwand 3b miteinander verbinden.On the underside of the rear side wall 3b two hinges 15 are arranged, which connect the bottom 2 and the side wall 3b together.

Wie in den Figuren 5 und 8 gezeigt ist, ist das Scharnier 15 am Boden 2 in senkrechter Richtung verschiebbar gelagert. Am Boden der Rille 11 ist eine Öffnung vorgesehen, die den feststehenden Teil eines Lagers für das Scharnier 15 bildet und in der ein Teil 16 des Scharniers 15 in vertikaler Richtung beweglich geführt ist. Eine Ausformung 33 an der Unterseite des Teils sichert das Scharnier 15 gegen Herausgleiten aus der Öffnung. Der auf der anderen Seite des Scharniergelenks 17 liegende Teil 18 des Scharniers 15 ist mit der Rückwand 3b gelenkig verbunden.As in the FIGS. 5 and 8 is shown, the hinge 15 is slidably mounted on the bottom 2 in the vertical direction. At the bottom of the groove 11, an opening is provided which forms the fixed part of a bearing for the hinge 15 and in which a part 16 of the hinge 15 is movably guided in the vertical direction. A formation 33 on the underside of the part secures the hinge 15 against sliding out of the opening. The lying on the other side of the hinge joint 17 portion 18 of the hinge 15 is pivotally connected to the rear wall 3b.

Die Oberseite der Seitenwand 3b ist mit zwei weiteren Scharnieren 6 versehen, wobei jeweils ein Teil der Scharniere 6 an einer Oberseite der Rückwand 3b in Abstand von deren Ecken befestigt ist und im jeweils anderen Teil 7 durch eine Bohrung eine Lagerbuchse 27 gebildet ist.The top of the side wall 3b is provided with two further hinges 6, wherein in each case a part of the hinges 6 is secured to a top of the rear wall 3b at a distance from the corners and in the other part 7 by a bore a bearing bush 27 is formed.

Wie aus Fig. 2 hervorgeht, ist der Deckel 4 leicht haubenförmig und an seinem Rand mit vorstehenden Seitenwänden 30 versehen, die auf den Rand des Bodens 2 passen. Er weist ferner drei Griffe 22 sowie zwei Fenster 23 auf.How out Fig. 2 shows the lid 4 is slightly hood-shaped and provided at its edge with projecting side walls 30 which fit on the edge of the bottom 2. It also has three handles 22 and two windows 23.

In den Figuren 2 und 4 ist zu erkennen, dass auf der Innenseite des Deckels 4 parallel zu dessen Rändern zwei Stangen 26 angeordnet sind. Die Stangen 26 sind an den Seitenwänden 30 des Deckels 4 in einem derartigen Abstand von der Deckelwand befestigt, dass sie in den Lagerbuchsen 27 der Scharniere 6 verschoben werden können.In the FIGS. 2 and 4 it can be seen that two rods 26 are arranged on the inside of the lid 4 parallel to its edges. The rods 26 are fixed to the side walls 30 of the lid 4 at such a distance from the top wall that they can be moved in the bearing bushes 27 of the hinges 6.

Wie aus den Figuren 3b und 4 hervorgeht, ist der Deckel 4 auf seiner Innenseite ferner mit Vorsprüngen 8 versehen.Like from the FIGS. 3b and 4 it can be seen, the lid 4 is further provided on its inside with projections 8.

Um den Behälter 1 aus der in Fig. 1 gezeigten geschlossenen Stellung in die in Fig. 2 gezeigte geöffnete Stellung zu bringen, wird der Deckel 4 am Griff 22 gegriffen, etwas nach oben geschwenkt, indem die auf der Vorderwand 3a aufliegende Deckelseite angehoben wird, der Deckel 4 in Richtung der Rückwand 3b geschoben, bis die Vorsprünge 8 an der Oberkante der Rückwand 3b anliegen. Dabei gleiten die Stangen 26 in den Lagerbuchsen 27 der Scharniere 6. Gleichzeitig wird der Deckel 4 weiter verschwenkt, bis die Innenseite des Deckels 4 an der Außenseite der Rückwand 3b anliegt.To the container 1 from the in Fig. 1 shown closed position in the in Fig. 2 To bring shown open position, the lid 4 is gripped on the handle 22, pivoted slightly upwards, by resting on the front wall 3a Lid page is raised, the lid 4 is pushed in the direction of the rear wall 3b until the projections 8 bear against the upper edge of the rear wall 3b. At the same time, the lid 4 is further pivoted until the inside of the lid 4 rests against the outside of the rear wall 3b.

Der Behälter 1 wird verschlossen, indem der Deckel 4 in umgekehrter Richtung verschwenkt und wieder über die Seitenwände 3a bis 3d des Behälters 1 gezogen wird.The container 1 is closed by the lid 4 is pivoted in the reverse direction and pulled back over the side walls 3a to 3d of the container 1.

Um den Behälter 1 zusammenfalten zu können, muss der Deckel 4 über die Vorsprünge 8 hinweg aus der in Fig. 6a gezeigten geöffneten Stellung weiter verschoben werden, bis die Lagerbuchsen 27 an einem Rand 30 des Deckels 4 anliegen (vgl. Fig. 6b).To be able to fold the container 1, the lid 4 on the projections 8 away from the in Fig. 6a shown open position to be moved until the bushings 27 abut against an edge 30 of the lid 4 (see. Fig. 6b ).

Dann werden die Seitenwände 3a bis 3d an den als Griffe vorgesehenen Ausnehmungen 28 aus der Rille 11 gehoben, wobei die Seitenwände 3c,3d aus einer Raststellung der Rastnasen 12 in den Ausnehmungen 13 bewegt werden, und die Seitenwände 3c,3d an ihrer Faltlinie 29 nach innen geknickt, so dass die Seitenwände 3b,3c und 3d auf dem Boden 2 stehen, wie es in den Figuren 6b und 7 gezeigt ist.Then the side walls 3a to 3d are raised at the recesses 28 provided as handles from the groove 11, wherein the side walls 3c, 3d are moved from a detent position of the locking lugs 12 in the recesses 13, and the side walls 3c, 3d at its fold line 29 kinked inside, so that the side walls 3b, 3c and 3d stand on the floor 2, as in the FIGS. 6b and 7 is shown.

Anschließend werden die Seitenwände zusammengefaltet, indem die Vorderwand 3a in Richtung der Rückwand 3b geschoben wird, bis die Seitenwände 3a bis 3d aneinander stehen.Subsequently, the side walls are folded together by the front wall 3a is pushed in the direction of the rear wall 3b, until the side walls 3a to 3d to each other.

Die Seitenwände 3a bis 3d können dann gemeinsam mit dem Deckel 4 in Richtung des Bodens 2 verschwenkt werden, bis sie auf dem Boden 2 liegen. Dabei wird, wie insbesondere aus den Figuren 5 und 8 hervorgeht, der verschiebbar gelagerte Teil 16 des Scharniers 15 immer weiter nach oben verschoben, während der mit der Rückwand 3b verbundene Teil des Scharniers 15 immer weiter verschwenkt wird. Die Schub- und die Verschwenkrichtung sind in Fig. 8b durch die mit t bzw. r gekennzeichneten Pfeile kenntlich gemacht. Wie insbesondere aus den Fig. 5(c) und (d) hervorgeht, lässt sich das Scharnier 15 dabei zumindest so weit verschieben, dass das Scharniergelenk 17 sich in demselben Abstand vom Boden 2 anordnen lässt, den die Seitenwand 3b vom Boden 2 hat, wenn sie mit den anderen Seitenwänden 3a,3c,3d zusammengefaltet auf diesen aufliegt.The side walls 3a to 3d can then be pivoted together with the cover 4 in the direction of the bottom 2 until they lie on the floor 2. It is, as in particular from the FIGS. 5 and 8 shows the displaceably mounted part 16 of the hinge 15 is always displaced upward, while the part connected to the rear wall 3b of the hinge 15 is pivoted more and more. The pushing and the pivoting direction are in Fig. 8b indicated by the arrows marked with t and r respectively. As in particular from the Fig. 5 (c) and (d) it can be seen, the hinge 15 can be at least so far move that the hinge joint 17 can be arranged at the same distance from the bottom 2, the side wall has 3b from the bottom 2, when folded with the other side walls 3a, 3c, 3d on this rests.

Im zusammengelegten Zustand umgreifen die Seitenränder des Deckels 4 und des Bodens 2 die zusammengefalteten Seitenwände 3a bis 3d.In the collapsed state, the side edges of the lid 4 and the bottom 2 surround the folded side walls 3a to 3d.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 6 hervorgeht, nimmt der Behälter im zusammengelegten Zustand einen wesentlich geringeren Raum ein, als wenn er aufgestellt ist.As in particular from Fig. 6 shows, the container takes in the collapsed state a much smaller space than when it is erected.

Wie in den Figuren 9 und 10 gezeigt ist, ist in dem Boden 2 auf der Seite des Bodens 2, die der Seite, an der die an der Unterkante angeordneten Scharniere 15 gelagert sind, gegenüberliegt, eine Aussparung 40 für eine keilförmige Raste 41 und ein mit der Raste 41 verbundenes Pedal 42 vorgesehen. Die Raste 41 wird durch eine Feder 45 in ihrer Rastposition gehalten, in der sie in die Rille 11 eingreift. Die Raste 41 ist vorgesehen, um in eine Ausnehmung 43 in der vorderen Seitenwand 3a einzugreifen und somit die Seitenwand 3a in der Rille 11 zu halten. Mit dem zur Außenseite des Bodens 2 geführten Pedal 42 kann die Raste 41 mit dem Fuß gegen die Kraft der Feder 45 aus der Rastposition gedrückt werden. Die Seitenwand 3a kann dann aus der Rille 11 gehoben werden.As in the FIGS. 9 and 10 is shown in the bottom 2 on the side of the bottom 2, which is opposite to the side on which are mounted on the lower edge hinges 15, opposite, a recess 40 for a wedge-shaped latch 41 and connected to the latch 41 Pedal 42nd intended. The catch 41 is held by a spring 45 in its locking position, in which it engages in the groove 11. The detent 41 is provided to engage in a recess 43 in the front side wall 3a and thus to hold the side wall 3a in the groove 11. With the led to the outside of the bottom 2 pedal 42, the catch 41 can be pressed with the foot against the force of the spring 45 from the rest position. The side wall 3a can then be lifted out of the groove 11.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 10 hervorgeht, ist im Boden 2 oberhalb der Raste 41 eine mit einer Ausnehmung 43 versehene Abdeckung 44 vorgesehen. Durch die Ausnehmung 43 hindurch ist es möglich, die Raste 41 auch von der Oberseite des Bodens 2 aus von Hand zu betätigen. Wie in Fig. 10(c) gezeigt ist, ist die Raste 41 an einer im Wesentlichen rechteckigen Platte 46 gebildet, die etwa in ihrer Mitte eine Ausnehmung 47 aufweist, an der sich die Raste 41 von Hand betätigen lässt. An der der Raste 41 gegenüberliegenden Seite der Platte 46 sind zwei die Feder 45 bildende elastische Schenkel angeordnet, die einteilig mit der Platte 46 gebildet sind und sich gegen einen Ansatz der Abdeckung 44 anlegen, wenn die Raste 41 in eine Öffnungsposition gebracht wird.As in particular from Fig. 10 It can be seen that in the bottom 2 above the notch 41, a cover 44 provided with a recess 43 is provided. Through the recess 43 through it is possible to actuate the catch 41 from the top of the bottom 2 by hand. As in Fig. 10 (c) is shown, the detent 41 is formed on a substantially rectangular plate 46 which has approximately in its center a recess 47 at which the latch 41 can be operated by hand. At the latch 41 opposite side of the plate 46, two spring forming the elastic legs 45 are arranged, which are formed integrally with the plate 46 and bear against a projection of the cover 44 when the latch 41 is brought into an open position.

Fig. 9(a) und 10(a) zeigen die Raste 41 in geschlossener, Fig. 9(b) und 10(b) in geöffneter Stellung. Figs. 9 (a) and 10 (a) show the catch 41 in closed, Figs. 9 (b) and 10 (b) in open position.
