Description

Transport- und Lagerbehälter Transport and storage containers
[0001] Die Erfindung betrifft einen Transport- und Lagerbehälter aus Kunststoff gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a transport and storage container made of plastic according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
[0002] Derartige Behälter sind als feste Boxen oder als Klappboxen, mit abklappbaren Seitenwänden bekannt und werden vielfältig für den Transport von Gegenständen sowohl im Haushalt wie auch im Lager- und Transportwesen verwendet. Da in solchen Behältern gerade im gewerblichen Bereich auch wertvolle bzw. sensible Güter transportiert werden, sind sie meist abdeckbar und verschliessbar und mit einer Sicherheitseinrichtung, wie beispielsweise in Form einer Plombierung versehen, die verhindert, dass die Behälter von Unbefugten geöffnet werden können. Diese Behälter sind meistens stapelbar. Bei der Verwendung der Behälter der genannten Art als Lagerbehälter ergibt sich bei gestapelten Behältern jedoch das Problem, dass zur Entnahme von Waren aus unteren Behältern eines Stapels die darüber gelagerten Behälter zunächst umgestapelt werden müssen, um Waren aus einem darunter gelagerten Behälter entnehmen zu können.Such containers are known as solid boxes or folding boxes, with hinged side walls and are widely used for the transport of objects both in the home as well as in storage and transportation. Since such containers are also transported valuable or sensitive goods in the commercial sector, they are usually coverable and lockable and provided with a safety device, such as in the form of a seal, which prevents the container from being opened by unauthorized persons. These containers are mostly stackable. When using the container of the type mentioned as a storage container results in stacked containers, however, the problem that for removal of goods from lower containers of a stack, the container above it must be first repacked to remove goods from a container mounted underneath can.
[0003] Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Transport- und Lagerbehälter der genannten Art zu schaffen, der es ermöglicht, Waren aus dem gestapelt gelagerten Behältern zu entnehmen, ohne die darüber gelagerten Behälter umstapeln zu müssen, und der als Transportbehälter möglichst nicht manipulierbar, einfach in der Herstellung und Montage sowie einfach zu handhaben ist.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a transport and storage container of the type mentioned, which makes it possible to remove goods from the stacked containers without having to repackage the container above stored, and as possible as a transport container not manipulatable, easy to manufacture and assemble, and easy to handle.
[0004] Diese Aufgabe wird von einem Transport- und Lagerbehälter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. [0005] Der erfindungsgemässe Lager- und Transportbehälter aus Kunststoff beinhaltet einen Bodenteil und vier Seitenwände, die bei einer Klappbox gelenkig am Behälterboden angeordnet, und vorzugsweise nach innen auf den Boden abklappbar sind, wobei je zwei einander gegenüberliegend angeordnete erste Seitenwände mit den beiden anderen gegenüberliegend angeordneten zweiten Seitenwänden in den Eckbereichen des zusammenklappbaren Lager- und Transportbehälters lösbar verrastbar sind. Zu diesem Zweck weisen die beiden ersten Seitenwände in den beiden oberen Eckbereichen zugeordnete Rastriegel auf, die zur Verriegelung der aufgeklappten Seitenwände hinter entsprechende Rastnasen jeweils an den Rändern der beiden zweiten Seitenwände einrastbar sind. Der Lagerund Transportbehälter weist wenigstens in einer Seitenwand, vorzugsweise in den beiden gegenüberliegenden zweiten Seitenwänden eine Entnahmeöffnung auf, die mit einer Klappe verschliessbar ist. Diese Klappe ist nur von der Innenseite des Behälters her zu öffnen. Beim Transport des Behälters ist die Klappe geschlossen und von aussen nicht zu öffnen und nicht manipulierbar. Zum Lagern sind die Behälter derart gestapelt, dass eine Entnahmeöffnung jedes Behälters von vorne zugängig ist. Vor dem Stapeln der Behälter werden die Klappen teilweise oder ganz geöffnet, so dass die im Behälter befindlichen Waren aus dem Behälter entnommen werden können.This object is achieved by a transport and storage container with the features of claim 1. The inventive storage and transport container made of plastic includes a bottom part and four side walls, which are hinged at a folding box on the container bottom, and preferably folded down inwardly on the ground, each two oppositely arranged first side walls with the other two opposite arranged second side walls in the corner regions of the collapsible storage and transport container are releasably latched. For this purpose, the two first side walls in the two upper corners associated latching bars, which are latched to lock the unfolded side walls behind corresponding latching lugs respectively at the edges of the two second side walls. The storage and transport container has at least in a side wall, preferably in the two opposite second side walls on a removal opening, which is closable with a flap. This flap can only be opened from the inside of the container. When transporting the container, the flap is closed and can not be opened from the outside and can not be manipulated. For storage, the containers are stacked such that a removal opening of each container is accessible from the front. Before stacking the containers, the flaps are partially or fully opened, so that the goods located in the container can be removed from the container.

[0009] I Der erfindungsgemässe Lager- und Transportbehälter ist in den Figuren in einer zusammenklappbaren Ausführung mit einer Entnahmeöffnung 2 in einer abklappbaren Seitenwand gezeigt. Die Entnahmeöffnung 2 kann aber auch in einer fest mit dem Boden verbundenen Seitenwand eines Lager- und Transportbehälters angeordnet sein. Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Seitenwand 1 eines zusammenklappbaren Behälters mit vollständig geöffneter Entnahmeöffnung 2 in einer perspektivischen Darstellung mit abgeklappter Klappe 3 von aussen gesehen. Die Klappe 3 besteht aus zwei mittels Scharnieren miteinander verbundenen Teilen, nämlich aus einem oberen Klappelement 3a und einem unteren Klappelement 3b. Das obere Klappelement 3a ist vollständig nach aussen umgeklappt und liegt an der Aussenseite des unteren Klappelementes 3b an. Die beiden Klappelemente 3a, 3b sind in der vorliegenden Ausführungsform ungleich hoch, und zwar ist das untere Klappelement 3b etwa doppelt so hoch wie das obere Klappelement 3a. Die beiden Klappelemente 3a, 3b können aber auch gleich hoch sein. Die Seitenwand 1 weist eine rahmenähnliche Form auf, mit an den Seitenrändern der Entnahmeöffnung 2 angeformten Anschlagkanten 4, an welchen die zugeklappte Klappe 3 anliegt. Am unteren Seitenrand 5 der Entnahmeöffnung 2 ist das untere Klappelement 3b mittels Scharnierelementen 14 an der Seitenwand 1 anscharniert. An den beiden vertikalen Seitenrändern 8 der Entnahmeöffnung 2 ist in Richtung Entnahmeöffnung 2 wenigstens je ein horizontal verlaufender Zapfen 7 angeformt. Zum Schliessen der Klappe 3 wird zunächst das untere Klappelement 3b hochgeklappt und nach oben gezogen. Sobald das Klappelement 3b an den Anschlagkanten 4 anliegt und anschliessend nach unten gedrückt wird, greifen die Zapfen 7 in entsprechende Ausnehmungen 13 an den Seitenrändern 9 des Klappelementes 3b ein und halten das Klappelement 3b in der Entnahmeöffnung 2. Zum vollständigen Schliessen der Entnahmeöffnung 2 wird das obere Klappelement 3a hochgeklappt und bis an die Anschlagkante 4 gedrückt. In den oberen Eckbereichen des oberen Klappelementes 3a sind Rastriegel 10 angeordnet, die mit der Seitenwand 1 lösbar verrastbar sind und beim Andrücken des oberen Klappelementes 3a an die Anschlagkanten 4 in der Seitenwand 1 einrasten.The inventive storage and transport container is shown in the figures in a collapsible version with a removal opening 2 in a hinged side wall. The removal opening 2 can also be arranged in a fixedly connected to the ground side wall of a storage and transport container. FIG. 1 shows a side wall 1 of a collapsible container with a completely opened removal opening 2 in a perspective view with the flap 3 folded away from the outside. The flap 3 consists of two parts interconnected by means of hinges, namely an upper flap element 3a and a lower flap element 3b. The upper flap element 3a is completely folded outwards and is located on the Outside of the lower flap element 3b. The two folding elements 3a, 3b are unequal in the present embodiment, namely the lower flap element 3b is about twice as high as the upper flap element 3a. But the two folding elements 3a, 3b can also be the same height. The side wall 1 has a frame-like shape, with integrally formed on the side edges of the removal opening 2 stop edges 4, against which the closed flap 3. At the lower side edge 5 of the removal opening 2, the lower flap element 3b is hinged by means of hinge elements 14 on the side wall 1. At the two vertical side edges 8 of the removal opening 2 at least one horizontally extending pin 7 is formed in the direction of removal opening 2 at least. To close the flap 3, the lower flap element 3b is first folded up and pulled upwards. As soon as the folding element 3b rests against the stop edges 4 and is subsequently pressed down, the pins 7 engage in corresponding recesses 13 on the side edges 9 of the folding element 3b and hold the folding element 3b in the removal opening 2. For the complete closure of the removal opening 2 becomes folded up upper flap element 3a and pressed up to the stop edge 4. In the upper corner regions of the upper flap element 3a latching bars 10 are arranged, which are releasably latched to the side wall 1 and engage in pressing the upper flap element 3a to the stop edges 4 in the side wall 1.
[0010] In der Figur 2 ist eine Seitenwand 1 eines zusammenklappbaren Behälters mit einer Entnahmeöffnung 2 mit teilweise geschlossener Klappe 3 von aussen gesehen dargestellt. Das untere Klappelement 3b ist zugeklappt und in der Seitenwand 1 mittels der Zapfen 7 gehalten. In den Eckbereichen des abgeklappten oberen Klappelementes 3a sind die Griffe der Rastriegel 10 zu erkennen. Diese Griffe sind nur von der Innenseite des Behälters her greifbar. An der Aussenseite des Klappelementes 3a ist der Rastriegel und dessen Griff durch eine Abdeckung 12 verdeckt. [0011] Die Figur 3 zeigt eine Seitenwand 1 eines zusammenklappbaren Behälters mit einer Entnahmeöffnung 2 mit teilweise geschlossener Klappe 3 von innen gesehen. Das untere, geschlossene Klappelement 3b verdeckt das nach aussen abgeklappte obere Klappelement 3a. Weiter sind die Rastnasen 11 an den vertikalen Seitenrändern 8 der Entnahmeöffnung 2 zu erkennen, mit welchen die in den oberen Eckbereichen des oberen Klappelementes 3a angeordneten Rastriegel 10 mit der Seitenwand 1 lösbar verrastbar sind.In the figure 2, a side wall 1 of a collapsible container with a removal opening 2 with partially closed flap 3 is shown from the outside. The lower flap element 3b is folded and held in the side wall 1 by means of the pins 7. In the corner regions of the folded-down upper flap element 3a, the handles of the latching bolt 10 can be seen. These handles are only tangible from the inside of the container. On the outside of the folding element 3 a of the latching bolt and its handle is covered by a cover 12. 3 shows a side wall 1 of a collapsible container with a removal opening 2 with partially closed flap 3 seen from the inside. The lower, closed flap element 3b covers the folded-down upper flap element 3a. Next, the locking lugs 11 can be seen on the vertical side edges 8 of the removal opening 2, with which the arranged in the upper corner regions of the upper flap element 3a locking latch 10 with the side wall 1 are releasably latched.
[0012] In der Figur 4 ist eine Seitenwand 1 eines zusammenklappbaren Lager- und Transportbehälters mit einer Entnahmeöffnung 2 mit geschlossener Klappe 3 von aussen gesehen dargestellt. Im oberen Klappelement 3a sind in den beiden oberen Eckbereichen die Abdeckungen 12 der Griffe bzw. der Rastriegel 10 zu erkennen. Diese Abdeckungen sind dosenähnlich geformt. Das untere Klappelement 3b weist komplementäre Formelemente 12' zur Abdeckung 12 auf, die derart angeordnet sind, dass bei abgeklapptem Klappelement 3a die Abdeckungen 12 in diese Formelemente 12' eingreifen. Die Rastriegel 10 rasten an in den Formelementen angeformten Rastnasen ein und halten das abgeklappte Klappelement 3a. Durch Betätigen der Rastriegel 10 wird die Verrastung gelöst und das obere Klappelement 3a kann hochgeklappt werden.FIG. 4 shows a side wall 1 of a collapsible storage and transport container with a removal opening 2 with a closed flap 3 viewed from the outside. In the upper folding element 3a, the covers 12 of the handles or the latching bolt 10 can be seen in the two upper corner regions. These covers are shaped can-like. The lower flap element 3b has complementary form elements 12 'to the cover 12, which are arranged such that when the flap element 3a is folded down, the covers 12 engage in these form elements 12'. The snap-in latch 10 latch on in the form of molded locking lugs and hold the folded flap element 3a. By pressing the locking latch 10, the latch is released and the upper flap element 3a can be folded up.
[0013] In der Figur 5 ist die Seitenwand 1 des zusammenklappbaren Behälters mit geschlossener Klappe 3 von innen gesehen dargestellt. Im oberen Klappelement 3a sind in den beiden oberen Eckbereichen die Griffteile der Rastriegel 10 zu erkennen. Durch Hochziehen des Griffteils des Rastriegels 10 wird das obere Klappelement 3a entriegelt, und kann nach aussen abgeklappt werden. Da der Griffteil des Rastriegels 10 nur von der Innenseite des Behälters her zugängig ist, kann die Entnahmeöffnung 2 auch nur von innen geöffnet werden.In the figure 5, the side wall 1 of the collapsible container with closed flap 3 is shown seen from the inside. In the upper folding element 3a, the gripping parts of the latching strips 10 can be seen in the two upper corner regions. By pulling up the handle portion of the locking bolt 10, the upper flap element 3 a is unlocked, and can be folded outwards. Since the handle portion of the locking bolt 10 is accessible only from the inside of the container forth, the removal opening 2 can be opened only from the inside.
[0014] Die Figur 6 zeigt einen Ausschnitt des unteren Klappelementes 3b in einer perspektivischen Darstellung von aussen gesehen. In der Figur 7 ist der entsprechende Ausschnitt der Seitenwand 1 mit der Entnahmeöffnung 2 ohne Klappelemente 3a, 3b gezeigt. Zu erkennen sind die Scharnierelemente 14 mit daran angeformten, parallel zur Unterkante des Klappelementes 3b verlaufenden Zapfen 15, welche in eine Schlitzbohrungen 16 im unteren Seitenrand 5 der Seitenwand 1 eingreifen. Dadurch sind die Scharnierelemente 14 und damit das untere Klappelement 3b schwenkbar in der Seitenwand 1 gelagert. In Ausnehmungen 17 im unteren Seitenrand 5 der Seitenwand 1 sind vertikal verlaufende Stege 18 zu erkennen, die bei eingesetztem, aufgerichteten unteren Klappelement 3b in die Ausnehmungen 19 der Scharnierelemente 14 eingreifen, und ein seitliches Verschieben der Zapfen 15 verunmöglichen. Diese Stege 18 verhindern, dass durch Manipulation oder unsachgemässe Behandlung des Behälters, der Seitenwände 1 oder der unteren Klappelemente 3b die Zapfen 15 aus den Bohrungen 16 gedrückt oder gezogen werden können. Zum Abklappen des unteren Klappelementes 3b wird das untere Klappelement 3b angehoben bis die Zapfen 15 der Scharnierelemente 14 an der Oberkante der Schlitzbohrung 16 anstehen. In dieser Position ist das untere Klappelement 3b in den Ausnehmungen 13 von den Zapfen 7 an den vertikalen Seitenrändern 9 der Seitenwand 1 gelöst und kann nach aussen geklappt werden.Figure 6 shows a section of the lower flap element 3b seen in a perspective view from the outside. In the figure 7, the corresponding section of the side wall 1 with the removal opening 2 without Folding elements 3a, 3b shown. Evident are the hinge elements 14 formed thereon, parallel to the lower edge of the flap element 3b extending pin 15, which engage in a slot bores 16 in the lower side edge 5 of the side wall 1. As a result, the hinge elements 14 and thus the lower flap element 3b are pivotally mounted in the side wall 1. In recesses 17 in the lower side edge 5 of the side wall 1 are vertically extending webs 18 can be seen, which engage in inserted, erected lower flap element 3b in the recesses 19 of the hinge elements 14, and a lateral displacement of the pin 15 verunmöglichen. These webs 18 prevent the pin 15 can be pressed or pulled out of the holes 16 by manipulation or improper handling of the container, the side walls 1 or the lower flap elements 3b. To fold down the lower flap element 3b, the lower flap element 3b is raised until the pins 15 of the hinge elements 14 are present at the upper edge of the slot bore 16. In this position, the lower flap element 3b is released in the recesses 13 of the pin 7 on the vertical side edges 9 of the side wall 1 and can be folded outwards.
[0015] Die Klappe 3 ist in der beispielsweisen Ausführung am unteren Seitenrand 5 der Seitenwand 1 anscharniert. Es ist auch denkbar, dass die Klappe 3 am oberen oder an einem vertikalen Seitenrand 8 mit der Seitenwand 1 verbunden ist. Mit der abdeckbaren und verschliessbaren Entnahmeöffnung 2 in einer Seitenwand 1 des Transport- und Lagerbehälters ist es ermöglicht, Waren aus gestapelt gelagerten Behältern zu entnehmen, ohne die darüber gelagerten Behälter umstapeln zu müssen. Die Verbindung der Klappelemente 3a, 3b untereinander sowie mit der Seitenwand 1 weisen keine zusätzlichen Teile auf und sind nur durch Zusammenstecken miteinander verbindbar und benötigt keine weiteren Montagemittel. Diese einfache Montage und Handhabung der Klappe in der Seitenwand des Behälters spart Kosten bei dessen Herstellung und vereinfacht auch das Austauschen defekter Teile. The flap 3 is hinged in the exemplary embodiment at the lower side edge 5 of the side wall 1. It is also conceivable that the flap 3 is connected to the side wall 1 at the top or at a vertical side edge 8. With the coverable and closable removal opening 2 in a side wall 1 of the transport and storage container, it is possible to remove goods from stacked containers, without having to repackage the container stored above. The connection of the folding elements 3a, 3b with each other and with the side wall 1 have no additional parts and are connectable only by plugging together and requires no further mounting means. This simple assembly and handling of the flap in the side wall of the container saves costs in its manufacture and also simplifies the replacement of defective parts.
