Definitions

  • the invention relates to a large container with a bottom part and at least one foot element.
  • Such large containers which are also referred to as large load carriers, usually have dimensions of 800x600 mm, 1200x800 mm, 1200x1000mm and 1200x1600 mm, which are standard dimensions.
  • the height of such large load carriers depends on the desired absorption capacity.
  • a usual height calculated from the footprint of the large load carrier on the ground to the upper edge of the side walls is 1000 mm, but this is not limiting.
  • a definition of the large container over other smaller containers is given, such as on pallets in several layers over and next to each other stackable fruit and vegetable containers or crates u.
  • the large containers or large load carriers are used to hold in particular piece goods and are so often used for the transport of large-volume food as well as the non-food sector, industry and in particular automotive sector.
  • Such large containers are voluminous and designed thicker compared to the usual fruit and vegetable containers and also heavier overall, so that the transport of filled large containers usually only mechanically, in particular by forklift u. Like. Can be done.
  • the side walls are either total or only partially or individually folded, which means that the side walls in transport position firmly locked together have to be.
  • Such locking devices for such containers are known. It concerns locking lugs which are formed on a side wall and engage in the locking position in a recess of the adjacent side wall or behind a locking bar of the adjacent side wall and thus accomplish the locking.
  • Such large containers are usually constructed from a bottom part, are arranged on the circumferential side walls.
  • hinge elements are formed both on the bottom part and on the underside of the side walls, which can be assembled to form a hinged hinge. This allows the side walls to fold inwards.
  • Such large containers are typical return elements, that is, such large containers are used in large batches for deliveries, then transported back as empties, cleaned and used again so that they circulate over many years as a container.
  • the floor is the strongest wearing part of such large containers, so that they are therefore usually provided with detachable Stitzfußan angelen different structure, which can then be replaced due to the possible wear.
  • WO 01/76960 A1 From the WO 01/76960 A1 is a large container with hinged on a bottom part arranged side walls are known, which are hinged after unlocking in a transport position.
  • the folding side walls are arranged on a bottom part, which having different high edge strips, so that the side walls can be folded one above the other to save space.
  • the bottom part is equipped with support feet, which are peripherally connected by bottom rails.
  • a modular constructed pallet is known, which is formed from a modular cover part and a modular bottom part, wherein the cover plate and bottom part are connected to each other via support feet and spaced from each other to form between them forklift engagement openings.
  • the support feet are also designed as Bayonettbolzen which must be connected to both the cover element as well as with the bottom element. This is costly, because the support legs, which in principle have to be designed to be large for reasons of load transfer, have to meet the criteria of a bayonet closure, which is expensive and must also be provided for a suitable composite of the support feet with the cover plate and with the base plate.
  • the object of the invention is to optimize a large container for use with different Stauerfußan instructen and to allow this case a quick exchange and a stable bond between Stauerfußan instruct and container.
  • Stützfußan extract such as runners in the longitudinal and transverse directions, individual foot elements or the like are releasably fixed on the bottom part of a large container and that by bayoneteartige socket pin, which engage in complementary bayonet openings on the bottom part.
  • one, two or more ribs are arranged on the bayonet pin in the manner of a threaded portion, which are provided with a slope.
  • a complementary undercut, with which the rib or the threaded portion can cooperate, is also provided in the region of the bayonet opening.
  • the circumferentially arranged ribs or thread sections or undercuts in the nature of edges, recesses and the like on the side of the openings are arranged spaced apart, wherein the distance is chosen so that, for example, the ribs of the bayonet pin linearly through the space between the spaced Undercuts or edges can be pushed through on the side of the opening.
  • the Stauerfußan emblemen and the Bayonette bolts are made of plastic, in particular impact and impact resistant plastic. If, which is expedient, the ribs or threaded sections and undercuts and edges on the bolt or at the opening are also provided with a slope, then results in the lock at the same time a tension between the Stauerfußan emblem and the bottom part, which in particular plastic Also accomplished a spring preload, so that a solid and stable closure or locking is accomplished, which is highly resistant to vibration and shock and thus is not solvable even under difficult and continuous transport conditions.
  • the bayonet pins are inserted from the underside of the Stauerfußan instructen ago and are preferably arranged sunk in the corresponding recess or opening of the Stauerfußan emblem so that they are protected from wear.
  • a simple attachment and a simple release of the bolt is also possible by non-expert forces. A quick replacement of wear parts is guaranteed.
  • the advantage of the use of plastic is also that now the closures are recyclable.
  • another advantage is that special keys for tightening or loosening the bayonet lock are not required, so if necessary, an exchange can be made at any time on site.
  • the Stützfußan extract are provided with positive locking elements which cooperate with complementary positive locking elements on the bottom part.
  • Such form-fitting elements are, for example, tongue and groove connections or dovetail connections, which make it possible for the support foot arrangement or parts of the support foot arrangement to be plugged onto the bottom part and thus held in a form-fitting manner.
  • This in combination with the bayonet-type closures results in a secure and permanent lock which nevertheless allows easy repair and replacement of the support leg assemblies.
  • Fig. 1 shows a large container 2 with four side walls 4, 6.
  • the four side walls 4, 6 are preferably attached by hinges to a bottom part 10 of the large container 2.
  • the bottom part has in the region of the fasteners of the side walls 4, 6 different heights, so that the side walls 4, 6 are completely folded over each other to save space.
  • one or more of the side walls 4, 6 can be opened completely or partially, for example by means of a displaceable side part 8.
  • foot elements are arranged. These are designed and arranged so that the bottom part 10 of the large container 2 is spaced from a substrate. On the one hand this prevents fouling of the large container 2, if this is on a dirty surface, and / or on the other hand, a moisture absorption by the large container 2, if this is on a moist surface. Furthermore, the foot elements make it possible to easily lift the large container 2 with a fork, for example that of an industrial truck, in particular a forklift, when it is standing on a flat surface, for example a floor or another large container 2. Furthermore, the foot elements form typical wear elements that can be replaced as needed and thus protect the bottom of the large container from wear. In the simplest form, the foot elements are formed by individual support feet.
  • the foot elements may be formed by one or more support skids 12.
  • the support skids 12 are characterized by at least two support legs, which are connected via bridge elements with each other.
  • one or two bridge elements can be formed between each two of these support feet, in particular at the two ends of the respective support feet.
  • other foot structures are included, which can be fixed in the manner described below on the container floor.
  • Fig. 2 shows in an exploded view, the bottom part 10 from below, so that therefore the bottom part of the container is shown rotated by 180 °.
  • two support skids 12 are formed so that they can be inserted into recesses of the bottom part 10 and it can be fastened on releasable fasteners and that bayonet pin 14 on the bottom part.
  • Fig. 3 shows the bayonet pin 14 with radially projecting, along the pin axis extending ribs 16, which serve as longitudinal guides and for centering, with a bolt head 18 and a bayonet thread 20.
  • the bayonet pin here forms with a complementary opening in the bottom part an undercut for the thread 20 a bayonet closure, which forms a quick release.
  • Fig. 4 shows a detailed view of the bottom part 10 from below with an opening 22 of the bottom part 10, which forms the snap closure with the bayonet pin.
  • Fig. 5 shows in the opening 22 an internal thread that is corresponding to the bayonet pin 14, in particular to the bayonet thread 20 is formed. It is clear Fig. 5 it can be seen that the bolt 14 has two spaced threaded portions as well as the opening 22, wherein the free space is sized so that the bolt 14 can be inserted into the opening so that its two threaded portions behind the threaded portions in the opening or recess 22 arrive. By twisting then the locking takes place due to the thread pitch axial clamping of both components. Due to the plastic in this case an inhibiting spring preload can be built up, so that a vibration-proof closure is achieved.
  • a recess 24 in one of the support skids 12 of the bayonet pin 14 is inserted so that it can engage in the recess 22 of the bottom part 10.
  • the recess 24 of the support runner 12 initially has a radius which is greater than the radius of the bolt head 18, and then a radius which is smaller than the radius of the bolt head 18, so that the bayonet pin 14 completely in the Support skid 12 is retractable.
  • a plurality of bayonet pins 14 and corresponding recesses 22 in the bottom part 10 and recesses 24 are formed in the support runners 12 for each support skid 12. This contributes to a good and stable solid composite of the support skids 12 with the container floor.
  • a plurality of support skids 12 are provided, they preferably have, as in FIGS. 7 and 8 shown, positive connection elements, over which then the different support skids 12 in addition to the bottom part 10 are fixed to each other.
  • a first of the support runners 12 preferably has a dovetail-shaped connecting element 26, and a second of the support runners 12 has a corresponding receptacle 28 for the dovetail-shaped connecting element 26 of the other support runner 12.
  • the dovetail-shaped connecting element 26 can then be inserted into the corresponding receptacle 28. This contributes to the fact that the foot elements are stabilized not only in the vertical direction, but also in the horizontal direction.
  • Fig.1 shows the plurality of support skids 12 combined to form a revolving support skid assembly whose outer surface is flush here with the outer surface of the side walls.
  • Individual support skids can be exchanged easily in case of wear or other damage.
  • the positive lateral connection of the circumferentially arranged support skids 12 increases the overall stability and the load capacity of the large container 2.
  • the positive connection of the skids opens up very well also Fig.2 in which two support runners are joined together to form a so-called circumferentially arranged support runner arrangement.
  • the support skids can hiebei be formed continuously, but are how Fig.2 shows, in particular with bridge-like members, designed as bridge elements 30 which are web-like and connect individual support legs of the support skids on the bottom side.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Großcontainer mit einem Bodenteil und mindestens einem Fußelement.The invention relates to a large container with a bottom part and at least one foot element.

Derartige Großcontainer, die auch als Großladungsträger bezeichnet werden, weisen üblicherweise Abmessungen von 800x600 mm, 1200x800 mm, 1200x1000mm und 1200x1600 mm auf, wobei es sich hier um Standardabmessungen handelt. Die Höhe derartiger Großladungsträger hängt von der gewünschten Aufnahmekapazität ab. Eine übliche Höhe berechnet ab der Aufstandsfläche des Großladungsträgers auf dem Boden bis zur oberen Kante der Seitenwände beträgt 1000 mm, wobei dies jedoch nicht beschränkend ist. Damit ist eine Definition des Großcontainers gegenüber anderen kleineren Containern gegeben, wie etwa auf Paletten in mehreren Lagen über- und nebeneinander stapelbare Obst- und Gemüsebehälter bzw. Flaschenkästen u. dgl.. Die Großcontainer bzw. Großladungsträger dienen zur Aufnahme von insbesondere Stückgütern und werden so häufig auch für den Transport großvolumiger Lebensmittel sowie auch dem non food Bereich, Industrie und insbesondere Automobilbereich verwendet. Derartige Großbehälter sind voluminös und im Vergleich zu den üblichen Obst- und Gemüsebehältern stärkemäßig dicker ausgelegt und auch insgesamt schwerer, so dass der Transport der gefüllten Großcontainer in der Regel nur mechanisch, insbesondere durch Gabelstapler u. dgl. erfolgen kann.Such large containers, which are also referred to as large load carriers, usually have dimensions of 800x600 mm, 1200x800 mm, 1200x1000mm and 1200x1600 mm, which are standard dimensions. The height of such large load carriers depends on the desired absorption capacity. A usual height calculated from the footprint of the large load carrier on the ground to the upper edge of the side walls is 1000 mm, but this is not limiting. Thus, a definition of the large container over other smaller containers is given, such as on pallets in several layers over and next to each other stackable fruit and vegetable containers or crates u. The large containers or large load carriers are used to hold in particular piece goods and are so often used for the transport of large-volume food as well as the non-food sector, industry and in particular automotive sector. Such large containers are voluminous and designed thicker compared to the usual fruit and vegetable containers and also heavier overall, so that the transport of filled large containers usually only mechanically, in particular by forklift u. Like. Can be done.

Um das Entleeren derartiger Behälter zu vereinfachen, aber auch um das Transportvolumen derartiger zumeist als Mehrwegbehälter verwendeten Großcontainer für den Rücktransport zu verringern, sind die Seitenwände entweder insgesamt oder auch nur teilweise bzw. einzeln umklappbar, was heißt, dass die Seitenwände in Transportstellung fest miteinander verriegelbar sein müssen. Derartige Verriegelungsvorrichtungen für solche Container sind bekannt. Es handelt sich um Rastnasen, die an einer Seitenwand ausgebildet sind und in Verriegelungsstellung in eine Ausnehmung der benachbarten Seitenwand oder hinter einer Rastleiste der benachbarten Seitenwand greifen und damit die Verriegelung bewerkstelligen.In order to simplify the emptying of such containers, but also to reduce the transport volume of such mostly used as reusable containers large container for the return transport, the side walls are either total or only partially or individually folded, which means that the side walls in transport position firmly locked together have to be. Such locking devices for such containers are known. It concerns locking lugs which are formed on a side wall and engage in the locking position in a recess of the adjacent side wall or behind a locking bar of the adjacent side wall and thus accomplish the locking.

Derartige Großcontainer sind üblicherweise aus einem Bodenteil aufgebaut, auf dem umlaufend Seitenwände angeordnet sind. Im Falle einer klappbaren Ausführung der Seitenwände für einen platzsparenden Rücktransport des Leerguts sind sowohl am Bodenteil wie auch an der Unterseite der Seitenwände Scharnierelemente angeformt, die zu einem Klappscharnier zusammengesteckt werden können. Dadurch lassen sich die Seitenwände nach innen klappen. Derartige Großcontainer stellen typische Rückführelemente dar, d.h., derartige Großcontainer werden in großen Chargen für Lieferungen verwendet, dann wieder als Leergut rücktransportiert, gereinigt und erneut eingesetzt, so dass sie über viele Jahre als Container zirkulieren. Hierbei stellt der Boden das stärkste Verschleißteil derartiger Großcontainer dar, so dass diese deswegen zumeist mit lösbaren Stützfußanordnungen unterschiedlichen Aufbaus versehen werden, die aufgrund des allfälligen Verschleißes dann ausgetauscht werden können. Dadurch ist der Containerüberbau vor wesentlichem Verschleiß geschützt und kann viele Jahre genutzt werden. Andererseits werden je nach Kunde spezielle Stützfußanordnungen für derartige Großcontainer verwendet, was häufig vom Einsatz der Großcontainer und vom Einsatzort abhängig ist. Übliche Stützfußanordnungen sind hierbei einzelne Stützfüße, langgestreckte Stützkufen oder Stützfußgestelle, bei denen einzelne Stützfüße über Querstreben miteinander verbunden sind. Derartige Stützgestelle können teilweise auch mehrteilig aufgebaut sein.Such large containers are usually constructed from a bottom part, are arranged on the circumferential side walls. In the case of a hinged design of the side walls for a space-saving return transport of the empties hinge elements are formed both on the bottom part and on the underside of the side walls, which can be assembled to form a hinged hinge. This allows the side walls to fold inwards. Such large containers are typical return elements, that is, such large containers are used in large batches for deliveries, then transported back as empties, cleaned and used again so that they circulate over many years as a container. Here, the floor is the strongest wearing part of such large containers, so that they are therefore usually provided with detachable Stützfußanordnungen different structure, which can then be replaced due to the possible wear. As a result, the container superstructure is protected against significant wear and can be used for many years. On the other hand, depending on the customer special Stützfußanordnungen be used for such large containers, which is often dependent on the use of large containers and the place of use. Usual Stützfußanordnungen here are individual support feet, elongated support skids or Stützfußgestelle, in which individual support legs are connected to each other via cross braces. Such support frames can be partially constructed in several parts.

Aus der WO 01/76960 A1 ist ein Großcontainer mit klappbar auf einem Bodenteil angeordneten Seitenwänden bekannt, die nach Entriegelung in eine Transportstellung abklappbar sind. Hierzu sind die klappbaren Seitenwände auf einem Bodenteil angeordnet, welches unterschiedlich hohe Randleisten aufweist, so dass die Seitenwände übereinander platzsparend geklappt werden können. Das Bodenteil ist mit Stützfüßen ausgerüstet, welche durch bodenseitige Schienen umlaufend miteinander verbunden sind. Aus der WO 96/02428 ist schließlich eine modulartig aufgebaute Palette bekannt, die aus einem modularen Deckteil und einem modularen Bodenteil gebildet ist, wobei Deckplatte und Bodenteil über Stützfüße miteinander verbunden und auf Abstand zueinander gehalten sind, um zwischen sich Gabelstaplereingriffsöffnungen zu bilden. Hierbei sind die Stützfüße zugleich als Bayonettbolzen ausgebildet, die sowohl mit dem Deckelement wie auch mit dem Bodenelement verbunden werden müssen. Dies ist aufwendig, weil die im Prinzip aus Gründen der Lastübennahme groß auszulegenden Stützfüße den Kriterien eines Bayonettverschlusses gerecht werden müssen, was aufwendig ist, und zudem für einen geeigneten Verbund der Stützfüße mit der Deckplatte und mit der Bodenplatte gesorgt werden muss.From the WO 01/76960 A1 is a large container with hinged on a bottom part arranged side walls are known, which are hinged after unlocking in a transport position. For this purpose, the folding side walls are arranged on a bottom part, which having different high edge strips, so that the side walls can be folded one above the other to save space. The bottom part is equipped with support feet, which are peripherally connected by bottom rails. From the WO 96/02428 Finally, a modular constructed pallet is known, which is formed from a modular cover part and a modular bottom part, wherein the cover plate and bottom part are connected to each other via support feet and spaced from each other to form between them forklift engagement openings. Here, the support feet are also designed as Bayonettbolzen which must be connected to both the cover element as well as with the bottom element. This is costly, because the support legs, which in principle have to be designed to be large for reasons of load transfer, have to meet the criteria of a bayonet closure, which is expensive and must also be provided for a suitable composite of the support feet with the cover plate and with the base plate.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Großcontainer für den Einsatz mit unterschiedlichen Stützfußanordnungen zu optimieren und hierbei einen schnellen Austausch und einen stabilen Verbund zwischen Stützfußanordnung und Container zu ermöglichen.The object of the invention is to optimize a large container for use with different Stützfußanordnungen and to allow this case a quick exchange and a stable bond between Stützfußanordnung and container.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch Anspruch 1 gelöst, wobei zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen durch die in den Unteransprüchen enthaltenen Merkmale gekennzeichnet sind.This object is achieved by claim 1, wherein expedient developments are characterized by the features contained in the dependent claims.

Nach Maßgabe der Erfindung sind am Bodenteil eines Großcontainers Stützfußanordnungen, wie Kufen in Längs- und Querrichtung, einzelne Fußelemente oder dergleichen lösbar festgelegt und zwar durch bayonetteartige Steckbolzen, die in komplementäre Bayonette-Öffnungen am Bodenteil eingreifen. Dadurch ergibt sich ein Schnellverschluss, da die Bayonette-Bolzen oder Bayonette-Stifte linear in die Bayonette-Öffnung eingesteckt und dann kurz über einen entsprechenden Winkel verdreht werden, so dass dann die Verriegelung bewerkstelligt ist.According to the invention Stützfußanordnungen, such as runners in the longitudinal and transverse directions, individual foot elements or the like are releasably fixed on the bottom part of a large container and that by bayoneteartige socket pin, which engage in complementary bayonet openings on the bottom part. This results in a quick release, as the bayonet pins or bayonet pins are inserted linearly into the bayonet opening and then rotated briefly over a corresponding angle, so that then the locking is accomplished.

Zweckmäßigerweise sind am Bayonette-Bolzen ein, zwei oder mehrere Rippen in Art eines Gewindeabschnitts angeordnet, die mit einer Steigung versehen sind. Eine komplementäre Hinterschneidung, mit der die Rippe oder der Gewindeabschnitt zusammenwirken kann, ist auch im Bereich der Bayonette-Öffnung vorgesehen. Die über den Umfang angeordneten Rippen oder Gewindeabschnitte bzw. Hinterschneidungen in Art von Kanten, Ausnehmungen und dergleichen auf Seiten der Öffnungen sind hierbei beabstandet angeordnet, wobei der Abstand so gewählt ist, dass beispielsweise die Rippen des Bayonette-Bolzens linear durch den Zwischenraum zwischen den beabstandeten Hinterschneidungen oder Kanten auf Seiten der Öffnung durchgesteckt werden können. Danach erfolgt die Drehung, so dass die Rippe beispielsweise die Kante in der Öffnung hintergreift und damit die Verriegelung bewerkstelligt ist. Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Stützfußanordnungen und die Bayonette-Bolzen aus Kunststoff, insbesondere schlag- und stoßfesten Kunststoff hergestellt. Wenn, was zweckmäßig ist, die Rippen bzw. Gewindeabschnitte sowie Hinterschneidungen und Kanten am Bolzen bzw. an der Öffnung auch noch mit einer Steigung versehen sind, dann ergibt sich bei der Verriegelung zugleich eine Verspannung zwischen der Stützfußanordnung und dem Bodenteil, die bei Kunststoff insbesondere auch eine Federvorspannung bewerkstelligt, so dass ein fester und stabiler Verschluss bzw. eine Verriegelung bewerkstelligt ist, die in hohem Maße rüttel- und stoßfest ist und damit auch unter schwierigen und stetigen Transportbedingungen nicht lösbar ist.Conveniently, one, two or more ribs are arranged on the bayonet pin in the manner of a threaded portion, which are provided with a slope. A complementary undercut, with which the rib or the threaded portion can cooperate, is also provided in the region of the bayonet opening. The circumferentially arranged ribs or thread sections or undercuts in the nature of edges, recesses and the like on the side of the openings are arranged spaced apart, wherein the distance is chosen so that, for example, the ribs of the bayonet pin linearly through the space between the spaced Undercuts or edges can be pushed through on the side of the opening. Thereafter, the rotation takes place, so that the rib, for example, engages behind the edge in the opening and thus the locking is accomplished. Conveniently, the Stützfußanordnungen and the Bayonette bolts are made of plastic, in particular impact and impact resistant plastic. If, which is expedient, the ribs or threaded sections and undercuts and edges on the bolt or at the opening are also provided with a slope, then results in the lock at the same time a tension between the Stützfußanordnung and the bottom part, which in particular plastic Also accomplished a spring preload, so that a solid and stable closure or locking is accomplished, which is highly resistant to vibration and shock and thus is not solvable even under difficult and continuous transport conditions.

Zweckmäßigerweise werden die Bayonette-Bolzen von der Unterseite der Stützfußanordnungen her eingesteckt und sind vorzugsweise versenkt in der entsprechenden Ausnehmung bzw. Öffnung der Stützfußanordnung angeordnet, so dass sie gegenüber Verschleiß geschützt sind. Gleichwohl ist eine einfach Befestigung und ein einfaches Lösen des Bolzens auch durch nicht fachkundige Kräfte möglich. Ein schneller Austausch der Verschleißteile ist damit gewährleistet. Der Vorteil des Einsatzes von Kunststoff besteht auch darin, dass nunmehr auch die Verschlüsse recyclebar sind. Ferner besteht ein weiterer Vorteil darin, dass spezielle Schlüssel für das Anziehen bzw. das Lösen des Bayonette-Verschlusses nicht erforderlich sind, also bedarfsweise ein Austausch jederzeit vor Ort vorgenommen werden kann.Conveniently, the bayonet pins are inserted from the underside of the Stützfußanordnungen ago and are preferably arranged sunk in the corresponding recess or opening of the Stützfußanordnung so that they are protected from wear. However, a simple attachment and a simple release of the bolt is also possible by non-expert forces. A quick replacement of wear parts is guaranteed. The advantage of the use of plastic is also that now the closures are recyclable. Furthermore, another advantage is that special keys for tightening or loosening the bayonet lock are not required, so if necessary, an exchange can be made at any time on site.

In besonderer Weise ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Stützfußanordnungen mit Formschlusselementen versehen sind, die mit komplementären Formschlusselementen am Bodenteil zusammenwirken. Derartige Formschlusselemente sind beispielsweise Nut-FederVerbindungen bzw. Schwalbenschwanz-Verbindungen, die es ermöglichen, dass die Stützfußanordnung bzw. Teile der Stützfußanordnung auf den Bodenteil aufgesteckt und damit formschlüssig gehalten sind. Dies im Verbund mit den bayonetteartigen Verschlüssen führt zu einer sicheren und dauerhaften Verriegelung, die gleichwohl eine einfache Reparatur und einen Austausch der Stützfußanordnungen ermöglicht.In a special way, it is expedient if the Stützfußanordnungen are provided with positive locking elements which cooperate with complementary positive locking elements on the bottom part. Such form-fitting elements are, for example, tongue and groove connections or dovetail connections, which make it possible for the support foot arrangement or parts of the support foot arrangement to be plugged onto the bottom part and thus held in a form-fitting manner. This in combination with the bayonet-type closures results in a secure and permanent lock which nevertheless allows easy repair and replacement of the support leg assemblies.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Großcontainer 2 mit vier Seitenwänden 4, 6. Die vier Seitenwände 4, 6 sind vorzugsweise über Scharniere an einem Bodenteil 10 des Großcontainers 2 befestigt. Das Bodenteil weist im Bereich der Befestigungen der Seitenwände 4, 6 unterschiedliche Höhen auf, so dass die Seitenwände 4, 6 platzsparend vollständig übereinander einklappbar sind. Vorzugsweise können aber auch eine oder mehrere der Seitenwände 4, 6 ganz oder teilweise, beispielsweise mittels eines verschiebbaren Seitenteils 8 geöffnet werden. Fig. 1 shows a large container 2 with four side walls 4, 6. The four side walls 4, 6 are preferably attached by hinges to a bottom part 10 of the large container 2. The bottom part has in the region of the fasteners of the side walls 4, 6 different heights, so that the side walls 4, 6 are completely folded over each other to save space. Preferably, however, one or more of the side walls 4, 6 can be opened completely or partially, for example by means of a displaceable side part 8.

An dem Bodenteil 10 sind Fußelemente angeordnet. Diese sind so ausgebildet und angeordnet, dass das Bodenteil 10 des Großcontainers 2 von einem Untergrund beabstandet ist. Dies verhindert einerseits ein Verschmutzen des Großcontainers 2, falls dieser auf einem verschmutzten Untergrund steht, und/oder andererseits eine Feuchtigkeitsaufnahme durch den Großcontainer 2, falls dieser auf feuchtem Untergrund steht. Ferner ermöglichen es die Fußelemente, den Großcontainer 2 einfach mit einer Gabel, beispielsweise der eines Flurförderfahrzeugs, insbesondere eines Gabelstaplers, anzuheben, wenn dieser auf einem flächigen Untergrund, beispielsweise einem Boden oder einem weiteren Großcontainer 2 steht. Ferner bilden die Fußelemente typische Verschleißelemente, die bedarfsweise ausgetauscht werden können und damit den Boden des Großcontainers vor Verschleiß schützen. In der einfachsten Form sind die Fußelemente durch einzelne Stützfüße gebildet. Alternativ dazu können die Fußelemente durch eine oder mehrere Stützkufen 12 gebildet sein. Die Stützkufen 12 zeichnen sich durch mindestens zwei Stützfüße aus, die über Brückenelemente mit einander verbunden sind. Dabei können zwischen je zwei dieser Stützfüße ein oder zwei Brückenelemente ausgebildet sein, insbesondere an den beiden Enden der jeweiligen Stützfüße. Selbstverständlich sind auch andere Fußkonstruktionen einbezogen, die im Rahmen der unten beschriebenen Weise am Containerboden befestigt werden können.At the bottom part 10 foot elements are arranged. These are designed and arranged so that the bottom part 10 of the large container 2 is spaced from a substrate. On the one hand this prevents fouling of the large container 2, if this is on a dirty surface, and / or on the other hand, a moisture absorption by the large container 2, if this is on a moist surface. Furthermore, the foot elements make it possible to easily lift the large container 2 with a fork, for example that of an industrial truck, in particular a forklift, when it is standing on a flat surface, for example a floor or another large container 2. Furthermore, the foot elements form typical wear elements that can be replaced as needed and thus protect the bottom of the large container from wear. In the simplest form, the foot elements are formed by individual support feet. Alternatively, the foot elements may be formed by one or more support skids 12. The support skids 12 are characterized by at least two support legs, which are connected via bridge elements with each other. In this case, one or two bridge elements can be formed between each two of these support feet, in particular at the two ends of the respective support feet. Of course, other foot structures are included, which can be fixed in the manner described below on the container floor.

Fig. 2 zeigt in einer Explosionsdarstellung das Bodenteil 10 von unten, so dass also das Bodenteil des Containers um 180° gedreht dargestellt ist. Hierbei sind zwei Stützkufen 12 so ausgebildet, dass sie in Ausnehmungen des Bodenteils 10 einsteckbar sind und daran über lösbare Befestigungselemente und zwar Bayonette-Bolzen 14 am Bodenteil befestigbar sind. Fig. 2 shows in an exploded view, the bottom part 10 from below, so that therefore the bottom part of the container is shown rotated by 180 °. Here, two support skids 12 are formed so that they can be inserted into recesses of the bottom part 10 and it can be fastened on releasable fasteners and that bayonet pin 14 on the bottom part.

Fig. 3 zeigt den Bayonette-Bolzen 14 mit radial vorstehenden, längs der Bolzenachse verlaufenden Rippen 16, die als Längsführungen und zur Zentrierung dienen, mit einem Bolzenkopf 18 und einem Bayonette-Gewinde 20. Der Bayonette-Bolzen bildet hierbei mit einer komplementär ausgebildeten Öffnung im Bodenteil mit einer Hinterschneidung für das Gewinde 20 einen Bayonette-Verschluss, welcher einen Schnellverschluss bildet. Fig. 3 shows the bayonet pin 14 with radially projecting, along the pin axis extending ribs 16, which serve as longitudinal guides and for centering, with a bolt head 18 and a bayonet thread 20. The bayonet pin here forms with a complementary opening in the bottom part an undercut for the thread 20 a bayonet closure, which forms a quick release.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine Detailansicht des Bodenteils 10 von unten mit einer Öffnung 22 des Bodenteils 10, die mit dem Bayonette-Bolzen den Schnellverschluss bildet. Fig. 4 shows a detailed view of the bottom part 10 from below with an opening 22 of the bottom part 10, which forms the snap closure with the bayonet pin.

Fig. 5 zeigt in der Öffnung 22 ein Innengewinde, dass korrespondierend zu dem Bayonette-Bolzen 14, insbesondere zu dem Bayonette-Gewinde 20 ausgebildet ist. Deutlich ist aus Fig. 5 ersichtlich, dass der Bolzen 14 zwei beabstandete Gewindeabschnitte aufweist ebenso wie die Öffnung 22, wobei der freie Zwischenraum größenmäßig so ausgelegt ist, dass der Bolzen 14 in die Öffnung so gesteckt werden kann, dass dessen beide Gewindeabschnitte hinter die Gewindeabschnitte in der Öffnung bzw. Ausnehmung 22 gelangen. Durch Verdrehen erfolgt dann die Verriegelung mit aufgrund der Gewindesteigung axialer Verspannung beider Bauteile. Aufgrund des Kunststoffs kann hierbei eine hemmende Federvorspannung aufgebaut werden, so dass ein rüttelfester Verschluss erreicht wird. Fig. 5 shows in the opening 22 an internal thread that is corresponding to the bayonet pin 14, in particular to the bayonet thread 20 is formed. It is clear Fig. 5 it can be seen that the bolt 14 has two spaced threaded portions as well as the opening 22, wherein the free space is sized so that the bolt 14 can be inserted into the opening so that its two threaded portions behind the threaded portions in the opening or recess 22 arrive. By twisting then the locking takes place due to the thread pitch axial clamping of both components. Due to the plastic in this case an inhibiting spring preload can be built up, so that a vibration-proof closure is achieved.

In der explosionsartigen Detaildarstellung gemäß Fig. 6 ist erkennbar, wie über eine Ausnehmung 24 in einer der Stützkufen 12 der Bayonette-Bolzen 14 so einführbar ist, dass er in die Ausnehmung 22 des Bodenteils 10 eingreifen kann. Dazu weist die Ausnehmung 24 der Stützkufe 12 zunächst einen Radius auf, der größer ist, als der Radius des Bolzenkopfes 18, und dann einen Radius, der kleiner ist, als der Radius des Bolzenkopfes 18, so dass der Bayonette-Bolzen 14 vollständig in der Stützkufe 12 versenkbar ist. Vorzugsweise sind für jede Stützkufe 12 mehrere Bayonette-Bolzen 14 und entsprechende Ausnehmungen 22 in dem Bodenteil 10 und Ausnehmungen 24 in dem Stützkufen 12 ausgebildet. Dies trägt zu einem guten und stabilen festen Verbund der Stützkufen 12 mit dem Containerboden bei.In the explosive detail according to Fig. 6 can be seen as a recess 24 in one of the support skids 12 of the bayonet pin 14 is inserted so that it can engage in the recess 22 of the bottom part 10. For this purpose, the recess 24 of the support runner 12 initially has a radius which is greater than the radius of the bolt head 18, and then a radius which is smaller than the radius of the bolt head 18, so that the bayonet pin 14 completely in the Support skid 12 is retractable. Preferably, a plurality of bayonet pins 14 and corresponding recesses 22 in the bottom part 10 and recesses 24 are formed in the support runners 12 for each support skid 12. This contributes to a good and stable solid composite of the support skids 12 with the container floor.

Falls mehrere Stützkufen 12 vorgesehen sind, so weisen diese vorzugsweise, wie in Fig. 7 und Fig. 8 dargestellt, formschlüssige Verbindungselemente auf, über die dann die unterschiedlichen Stützkufen 12 zusätzlich zu dem Bodenteil 10 aneinander festlegbar sind. Insbesondere weist vorzugsweise eine erste der Stützkufen 12 ein schwalbenschwanzförmiges Verbindungselement 26 auf und eine zweite der Stützkufen 12 weist eine entsprechende Aufnahme 28 für das schwalbenschwanzförmige Verbindungselement 26 der anderen Stützkufe 12 auf. Das schwalbenschwanzförmige Verbindungselement 26 kann dann in die entsprechende Aufnahme 28 eingeführt werden. Dies trägt dazu bei, dass die Fußelemente nicht nur in vertikaler Richtung, sondern auch in horizontaler Richtung stabilisiert sind. Hierbei sind in der beschriebenen Ausführungsform, wie insbesondere Fig.1 zeigt, die mehreren Stützkufen 12 zu einer umlaufenden Stützkufenanordnung zusammengefasst, deren Außenfläche hier mit der Außenfläche der Seitenwände bündig ist. Einzelne Stützkufen lassen sich bei Verschleiß oder sonstiger Beschädigung in einfacher Weise austauschen. Der formschlüssige seitliche Zusammenschluß der umlaufend angeordneten Stützkufen 12 erhöht insgesamt die Stabilität und die Belastbarkeit des Großcontainers 2. Die formschlüssige Verbindung der Stützkufen erschließt sich sehr gut auch aus Fig.2, bei welcher zwei Stützkufen zu einer sozusagen umlaufend angeordneten Stützkufenanordnung zusammengeschlossen sind. Die Stützkufen können hiebei durchgehend ausgebildet sein, sind jedoch, wie Fig.2 zeigt, insbesondere mit brückenartigen Gliedern, als Brückenelementen 30 ausgebildet, die stegartig sind und einzelne Stützfüße der Stützkufen bodenseitig miteinander verbinden. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig.2 weist jede Stützkufe insgesamt fünf Stützfüße auf, wobei drei Stützfüße an einer Seite des Behälters vollständig und die anderen beiden Stützfüße für den Formschluß mit der anderen Stützkufe etwa hälftig ausgebildet sind und auf einer Seite mit einem Schwalbenschwanz 26 und auf der anderen Seite mit einer entsprechenden Aufnahme 28 versehen ist, so dass die beiden Stützkufen zusammengesteckt werden können und dabei auch ein sehr stabiler Verbund in Horizontalrichtung und nicht nur in vertikaler Richtung, also senkrecht zum Boden des Behälters gewährleistet ist. Ersichtlich werden die Stützfüße 12 in entgegengerichtete hohle Stützelemente 10 am Behälterboden eingesteckt, wobei die Öffnung 10 und der einzusteckende Stützfuß 12 jeweils komplementär ausgebildet sind, so dass eine gut passende Steckverbindung gewährleistet ist. Die Brückenelemente 30 zwischen den Stützfüßen 12 begrenzen auf jeder Seite im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel zwei benachbarte Ausnehmungen für einen Gabelstaplereingriff. Das Zusammenstecken der Stützfüße 12 mit den hohl ausgebildeten Fußelementen 10 ergibt sich sehr gut aus Fig.6. Die Fußelemente 10 sind mit ihrer Öffnung komlementär mit den einsetzbaren Stützfüßen 12 ausgebildet, wobei am unteren Ende der Stützfüße 12 eine flanschartige Verbreiterung 32 vorgesehen ist, mit der der eingesteckte Stützfuß 12 am unteren Rand des Fußelements 10 anliegt. Auch die Brückenelemente 30 sind deutlich ersichtlich.If a plurality of support skids 12 are provided, they preferably have, as in FIGS. 7 and 8 shown, positive connection elements, over which then the different support skids 12 in addition to the bottom part 10 are fixed to each other. In particular, a first of the support runners 12 preferably has a dovetail-shaped connecting element 26, and a second of the support runners 12 has a corresponding receptacle 28 for the dovetail-shaped connecting element 26 of the other support runner 12. The dovetail-shaped connecting element 26 can then be inserted into the corresponding receptacle 28. This contributes to the fact that the foot elements are stabilized not only in the vertical direction, but also in the horizontal direction. Here are in the described embodiment, in particular Fig.1 shows the plurality of support skids 12 combined to form a revolving support skid assembly whose outer surface is flush here with the outer surface of the side walls. Individual support skids can be exchanged easily in case of wear or other damage. The positive lateral connection of the circumferentially arranged support skids 12 increases the overall stability and the load capacity of the large container 2. The positive connection of the skids opens up very well also Fig.2 in which two support runners are joined together to form a so-called circumferentially arranged support runner arrangement. The support skids can hiebei be formed continuously, but are how Fig.2 shows, in particular with bridge-like members, designed as bridge elements 30 which are web-like and connect individual support legs of the support skids on the bottom side. In the illustrated embodiment according to Fig.2 each support skid has a total of five support legs, with three support legs on one side of the container completely and the other two support feet for the positive engagement with the other support skid are formed approximately half and is provided on one side with a dovetail 26 and on the other side with a corresponding receptacle 28, so that the two support skids can be put together and a very stable compound is ensured in the horizontal direction and not only in the vertical direction, that is perpendicular to the bottom of the container. As can be seen, the support feet 12 are inserted into opposing hollow support members 10 on the container bottom, the opening 10 and the einzusteckende support 12 are each formed complementary, so that a well-fitting connector is guaranteed. The bridge elements 30 between the support legs 12 define on each side in the illustrated embodiment, two adjacent recesses for a forklift engagement.
