Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen zusammenklappbaren Lager- und Transportbehälter aus Kunststoff gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. WO 96/40564 offenbart ein Beispiel eines derartigen Behälters.The invention relates to a collapsible storage and transport container made of plastic according to the preamble of patent claim 1. WO 96/40564 discloses an example of such a container.

Derartige zusammenklappbare Lager- und Transportbehälter, bei welchen die seitlichen Wände komplett nach innen oder aussen umlegbar sind, sind bekannt und werden auch als Klappboxen bezeichnet. Beim Zusammenklappen werden zunächst nacheinander die kürzeren Querseitenwände und anschliessend die Längsseitenwände nach innen geklappt. Sind nun die Seitenwände höher als die halbe Länge der angrenzenden Seite der Klappbox, so kommen nicht nur die benachbarten Seitenwände sondern auch die jeweils gegenüberliegenden Seitenwände aufeinander zu liegen. Das bedeutet, dass die Scharniere der einzelnen Seitenwände im Bodenteil in entsprechend unterschiedlichen Höhen angeordnet sein müssen, oder dass die Seitenwände unterschiedliche Höhen aufweisen, damit die zusammengeklappten Seitenwände flach aufeinander aufliegen und mit dem Bodenteil einen kompakten Stapel bilden. Sowohl unterschiedlich hohe Seitenwände, insbesondere der gegenüber angeordneten Seitenwände, wie auch unterschiedlich hoch angeordnete Scharniere am Bodenteil wirken sich sowohl auf die Produktion wie auch auf die Herstellungskosten derartiger Klappboxen negativ aus. Um diese Nachteile zu vermeiden ist bekannt, dass die übereinander klappbaren Seitenwände durch Scharniere am Behälterboden angelenkt sind, deren Scharnierbolzen in Scharnierbolzenaufnahmen gelenkig gelagert sind, wobei die Scharnierbolzenaufnahmen Aussparungen aufweisen, derart, dass die Scharnierbolzen in den Scharnierbolzenaufnahmen aus einer unteren Endlage in eine obere Endlage bewegbar sind, dass ein planes Aufeinanderliegen zweier Seitenwände möglich ist. Die übereinander klappbaren Seitenwände können umgeklappt werden und kommen plan aufeinander zum Liegen. Dadurch, dass jedoch die Scharnierbolzen in der Scharnierbolzenaufnahme nicht nur schwenkbar sondern auch vertikal verschiebbar gelagert sind, kommt es häufig insbesondere beim Aufklappen zu einer Verkantung der Seitenwand, das heisst, dass die Schwenkachse einer Seitenwand beim Aufklappen nicht parallel zum Boden der Klappbox verläuft.Such collapsible storage and transport containers, in which the side walls are completely repositioned inwards or outwards, are known and are also referred to as folding boxes. When folding, first the shorter transverse side walls and then the longitudinal side walls are folded inwards one after the other. Now, if the side walls are higher than half the length of the adjacent side of the folding box, not only the adjacent side walls but also the respective opposite side walls come to rest on each other. This means that the hinges of the individual side walls in the bottom part must be arranged in correspondingly different heights, or that the side walls have different heights, so that the folded side walls lie flat on each other and form a compact stack with the bottom part. Both differently high side walls, in particular the oppositely disposed side walls, as well as differently high arranged hinges on the bottom part have a negative effect both on the production and on the manufacturing cost of such folding boxes. To avoid these disadvantages, it is known that hinged side walls are articulated by hinges on the container bottom, the hinge pin are hinged in hinge pin receptacles, wherein the hinge pin receptacles have recesses, such that the hinge pin in the hinge pin receptacles from a lower end position to an upper end position are movable, that a plane lying on two Side walls is possible. The superimposed side walls can be folded and come flat on each other to lie. The fact that, however, the hinge pin in the hinge pin receptacle are not only pivotally mounted but also vertically displaceable, it often comes especially when unfolding to a tilting of the side wall, that is, the pivot axis of a side wall when unfolding is not parallel to the bottom of the folding box.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen zusammenklappbaren Lager- und Transportbehälter der genannten Art zu schaffen, dessen zusammengeklappte Seitenwände flach aufeinander aufliegen, und derart am Boden der Klappbox anscharniert sind, dass sie beim Hochklappen nicht verkanten, und dass die Schwenkachse der Seitenwände während des Hochklappens parallel zum Boden der Klappbox verläuft.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a collapsible storage and transport container of the type mentioned, the folded side walls lie flat on each other, and are hinged to the bottom of the Klappbox that they do not tilt when folded, and that the pivot axis of the side walls runs parallel to the bottom of the folding box during folding up.

Diese Aufgabe wird von einem zusammenklappbaren Lager- und Transportbehälter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a collapsible storage and transport container having the features of claim 1.

Der zusammenklappbare Lager- und Transportbehälter aus Kunststoff beinhaltet einen Bodenteil, der aus einem Bodenrahmen und einer Bodenplatte besteht. Der Bodenteil kann einteilig mit dem Bodenrahmen und der Bodenplatte geformt sein, oder die Bodenplatte ist in den Bodenrahmen einlegbar. Am Bodenrahmen sind zumindest zwei übereinander klappbare Seitenwände mittels Scharnieren angelenkt. Die Scharniere sind mit Scharnierbolzen oder einer Scharnierachse in entsprechenden Aufnahmen, den Scharnierbolzenaufnahmen oder Scharnierachsenaufnahmen gelenkig gelagert. Diese Aufnahmen weisen etwa senkrecht zur Ebene der Bodenplatte verlaufende Aussparungen auf, die derart ausgebildet sind, dass die Scharnierbolzen oder Scharnierachsen in den Aufnahmen aus einer unteren Endlage in eine obere Endlage bewegbar sind. Die Länge der Aussparung entspricht mindestens der Dicke einer Seitenwand, so dass eine Seitenwand um mindestens der Dicke einer Seitenwand vertikal anhebbar ist. An der dem Bodenrand anliegenden Seite der Seitenwand sind wenigstens zwei Seitenwand-Führungselemente angeformt, die in Ausnehmung des Bodenrahmens eingreifen und dort mit Bodenrahmen-Führungselementen zusammenwirken. Mit den Führungselementen wird erreicht, dass beim Hochklappen der Seitenwand die Schwenkachse parallel zur Oberkante des Bodenrahmens geführt wird, wodurch ein Verkanten der Scharniere bzw. der Seitenwand verunmöglicht wird.The collapsible storage and transport container made of plastic includes a bottom part, which consists of a bottom frame and a bottom plate. The bottom part can be integrally formed with the bottom frame and the bottom plate, or the bottom plate can be inserted into the bottom frame. At the bottom frame at least two superimposed folding side walls are hinged by means of hinges. The hinges are hinged with hinge pins or a hinge axis in corresponding receptacles, the hinge pin receptacles or hinge axis shots. These receptacles have approximately perpendicular to the plane of the bottom plate extending recesses, which are designed such that the hinge pin or hinge axes are movable in the receptacles from a lower end position to an upper end position. The length of the recess corresponds at least to the thickness of a side wall, so that a side wall can be raised vertically by at least the thickness of a side wall. At the bottom edge of the adjacent side of the side wall at least two side wall guide elements are formed, which are in the recess of the bottom frame engage and interact there with floor frame guide elements. With the guide elements is achieved that when folding the side wall, the pivot axis is guided parallel to the upper edge of the bottom frame, whereby a tilting of the hinges or the side wall is made impossible.

Der Vorteil der Erfindung liegt im Zusammenwirken einerseits von den am Bodenteil und der Seitenwand angeordneten Führungsmitteln und andererseits vom Zusammenwirken der Führungsmittel mit den Scharnieren. Aufgrund des Zusammenwirkens der Scharniere mit den Führungsmitteln ist es vorteilhaft, die Führungsmittel mit den Scharnierelementen zu kombinieren. Die mit den Führungsmitteln gebildete scharnierartige Verbindung zwischen der Seitenwände und dem Boden ermöglicht es, den identisch geformten gegenüberliegenden und zusammengeklappten Seitenwänden flach aufeinander aufzuliegen, so dass sie mit dem Bodenteil einen kompakten Stapel bilden. Weiter sind die Seitenwände einfach und rasch am Bodenteil montier- und auswechselbar, was bei der Herstellung des Behälters Kosten spart.The advantage of the invention lies in the interaction on the one hand by the guide means arranged on the bottom part and the side wall and on the other hand by the cooperation of the guide means with the hinges. Due to the interaction of the hinges with the guide means, it is advantageous to combine the guide means with the hinge elements. The hinge-like connection between the sidewalls and the floor formed with the guide means allows the identically shaped opposite and collapsed sidewalls to lie flat against each other so as to form a compact stack with the floor portion. Further, the side walls are easy and quick to install on the bottom part and replaceable, which saves costs in the production of the container.

In den Figuren sind für dieselben Elemente jeweils die gleichen Bezugszeichen verwendet worden und erstmalige Erklärungen betreffen alle Figuren, wenn nicht ausdrücklich anders erwähnt.In the figures, the same reference numerals have been used for the same elements and first explanations apply to all figures, unless expressly stated otherwise.

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Ausschnitt des Bodenteils 1 und einer Seitenwand 4 mit schematisch dargestellten Führungsmitteln. Der Bodenrahmen 2 weist eine Ausnehmung 5 zur Aufnahme eines Führungselementes 11 der Seitenwand 4 auf. In dieser Bodenrahmen-Ausnehmung 5 ist eine Nase 6 angeordnet, deren Oberkante 7 einen Abstand "Db" bis zur Seitenrahmen-Oberkante 8 aufweist. An der Seitenwand 4 ist das Seitenwand-Führungselement 11 mit einer Länge "Ds" von der Unterkante 12 der Seitenwand 4 bis zur Unterkante 13 des Seitenwand-Führungselementes 11 angeformt. Die Länge "Ds" des Seitenwand-Führungselements 11 entspricht dem Abstand "Db" im Bodenrahmen 2. Ist nun eine am Bodenrahmen 2 angelenkte Seitenwand 4 senkrecht aufgestellt, so liegt die Unterkante 12 der Seitenwand 4 auf der Oberkante 8 des Bodenrahmens 2 auf. Ebenso liegt die Unterkante 13 des Seitenwand-Führungselementes 11 auf der Oberkante 7 der Nase 6 auf. Eine in dieser Position gedachte Verbindungslinie der Scharnierbolzen der Seitenwand 4 bildet die Schwenkachse "A". Die Anordnung der Nase 6 in der Ausnehmung 5 ist so gewählt, dass die Schwenkachse "A" durch die Oberkante 7 der Nase 6 verläuft. Das Seitenwand-Führungselement 11 weist eine Aussparung 9 auf, welche der Aufnahme eines in die Aussparung ragenden Vorsprungs 10 des Bodenrahmens 2 im Bereich der Oberkante 8 dient. Liegt nun die Seitenwand 4 horizontal, also etwa parallel zu Bodenplatte 3 und befinden sich die Scharnierachsen bzw. die Scharnierbolzen in ihrer unteren Endposition der Scharnierbolzen-Aufnahmen, so liegt die Unterkante 13 bzw. ein Teil der Vorderfläche 14 des Seitenwand-Führungselementes 11 auf der Oberkante 7 der Nase 6 auf. Da mindestens zwei derartige Seitenwand-Führungselemente 11 mit den zugehörigen Bodenrahmen-Ausnehmungen 5 pro Seitenwand vorgesehen sind, verläuft die Schwenkachse parallel zur Oberkante 8 des Bodenrahmens2. Beim Hochklappen der Seitenwand 4 liegen die Unterkanten 13 der Seitenwand-Führungselemente auf den Oberkanten 7 der Nasen auf und die kann ohne zu verkanten geschwenkt werden. Liegt die abgeklappte Seitenwand 4 in einer Höhe über der Bodenplatte 3, bei welcher sich die Scharnierachsen bzw. Scharnierbolzen in ihrer obersten Endposition oder zwischen der obersten und untersten Position befinden, dann schlägt beim Hochklappen der Seitenwand 4 die Rückseite 16 des Seitenwand-Führungselementes 11 an der Vorderkante 17 des Vorsprungs 10. Die Seitenwand 4 wird um die Vorderkante 17 gekippt und da die Scharnierbolzen in den Scharnierbolzen-Aufnahmen nur vertikal verschoben werden können, wird die Seitenwand 4 und somit auch das untere Ende der Seitenwand 4 nach unten gedrückt, bis die Unterkante 13 des Seitenwand-Führungselementes 11 auf der Oberkante 7 der Nase 6 aufliegt. In dieser Position liegt die Rückseite 16 des Seitenwand-Führungselementes 11 nicht mehr an der Vorderkante 17 des Vorsprungs 10 an, sondern der Vorsprung 10 greift in die Aussparung 9 ein. In der schematischen Darstellung sind sowohl die Ausnehmung 5 wie auch das Seitenwand-Führungselement 11 symmetrisch aufgebaut, so dass es beidseits eine Aussparung 9 aufweist. Ein symmetrischer Aufbau ist jedoch nicht erforderlich.The FIG. 1 shows a section of the bottom part 1 and a side wall 4 with schematically illustrated guide means. The bottom frame 2 has a recess 5 for receiving a guide element 11 of the side wall 4. In this bottom frame recess 5, a nose 6 is arranged, the upper edge 7 has a distance "Db" to the side frame top edge 8. On the side wall 4, the side wall guide member 11 is formed with a length "Ds" from the lower edge 12 of the side wall 4 to the lower edge 13 of the side wall guide member 11. The length "Ds" of the side wall guide element 11 corresponds to the distance "Db" in the bottom frame 2. If a side wall 4 hinged to the bottom frame 2 is now erected vertically, the bottom edge 12 of the side wall 4 rests on the top edge 8 of the bottom frame 2. Likewise, the lower edge 13 of the side wall guide element 11 rests on the upper edge 7 of the nose 6. An imaginary in this position connecting line of the hinge pin of the side wall 4 forms the pivot axis "A". The arrangement of the nose 6 in the recess 5 is chosen so that the pivot axis "A" passes through the upper edge 7 of the nose 6. The side wall guide member 11 has a recess 9, which is the Receiving a projecting into the recess projection 10 of the bottom frame 2 in the region of the upper edge 8 is used. If the side wall 4 is now horizontal, ie approximately parallel to the base plate 3, and if the hinge pins or the hinge pins are in their lower end position of the hinge pin receptacles, then the lower edge 13 or part of the front surface 14 of the side wall guide element 11 lies on the Top 7 of the nose 6 on. Since at least two such side wall guide elements 11 are provided with the associated bottom frame recesses 5 per side wall, the pivot axis is parallel to the upper edge 8 of the Bodenrahmens2. When folding up the side wall 4, the lower edges 13 of the side wall guide elements rest on the upper edges 7 of the lugs and can be pivoted without jamming. If the folded side wall 4 at a height above the bottom plate 3, in which the hinge pins or hinge pins are in their uppermost end position or between the uppermost and lowermost position, then proposes when folding up the side wall 4, the back 16 of the side wall guide member 11 at The side wall 4 is tilted about the front edge 17 and since the hinge pin in the hinge pin receptacles can only be moved vertically, the side wall 4 and thus also the lower end of the side wall 4 is pressed down until the Lower edge 13 of the side wall guide member 11 rests on the upper edge 7 of the nose 6. In this position, the back 16 of the side wall guide member 11 is no longer at the front edge 17 of the projection 10, but the projection 10 engages in the recess 9 a. In the schematic illustration, both the recess 5 and the side wall guide element 11 are constructed symmetrically, so that it has a recess 9 on both sides. However, a symmetrical structure is not required.

Nachfolgend wird ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemässen zusammenklappbaren Lager- und Transportbehälters erläutert, bei dem die Führungsmittel mit den Scharnierelementen kombinieret sind.Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the inventive collapsible storage and transport container will be explained, in which the guide means are combined with the hinge elements.

In der Figur 2 ist ein Ausschnitt des Bodenteils 1 mit angelenkter und aufgeklappter Seitenwand 4 im Bereich einer scharnierartigen Verbindung zwischen der Seitenwand 4 und dem doppelwandig ausgeführten Bodenrahmen 2 mit im Scharnier integrierten Führungsmitteln dargestellt. Das Seitenwand-Führungselement 11 hat etwa die Dicke der Seitenwand 4. Am unteren Ende 18 des Seitenwand-Führungselementes 11 sind Scharnierbolzen 19 angeformt, die in die Scharnierbolzenaufnahme 15 ragen. Die Scharnierbolzenaufnahme 15 wird von den Innenflächen der Vorder- und Rückwand 21,22 des Bodenrahmens 2 gebildet.In the FIG. 2 is a section of the bottom part 1 with articulated and unfolded side wall 4 in the region of a hinge-like connection between the side wall 4 and the double-walled executed bottom frame 2 with integrated guide means in the hinge. The side wall guide element 11 has approximately the thickness of the side wall 4. At the lower end 18 of the side wall guide element 11 hinge pin 19 are formed, which protrude into the hinge pin receptacle 15. The hinge bolt receptacle 15 is formed by the inner surfaces of the front and rear walls 21, 22 of the floor frame 2.

Die Figur 3 zeigt einen Ausschnitt des Bodenteils 1 mit der Bodenrahmen-Ausnehmung 5 im Bodenrahmen 2 ohne angelenkter Seitenwand. Die Ausnehmung 5 dient der Aufnahme des Führungselementes 11 der Seitenwand 4. In dieser Bodenrahmen-Ausnehmung 5 ist mittig die Nase 6 angeordnet. Die Anordnung der Nase 6 in der Ausnehmung 5 ist so gewählt, dass die Schwenkachse "A" durch die Oberkante 7 der Nase 6 verläuft, wenn die Unterkante 13 des Seitenwand-Führungselementes 13 auf der Oberkante 7 der Nas 6 aufliegt und die Unterkante 12 der Seitenwand 4 auf der Oberkante 8 des Bodenrahmens 2 aufliegt. Am oberen Abschluss der Bodenrahmen-Ausnehmung 5 ist der Vorsprung 10 mit seiner Vorderkante 17 zu erkennen. Die Bodenrahmen-Ausnehmung 5 ist symmetrisch aufgebaut, sodass sich beidseits der Ausnehmung 5 ein Vorsprung 10 in die Ausnehmung 5 erstreckt. Längs einer Seite des Bodenrahmens 2 des Lager- und Transportbehälters sind jeweils mindestens zwei derartige Bodenrahmen-Ausnehmungen 5 vorgesehen.The FIG. 3 shows a section of the bottom part 1 with the bottom frame recess 5 in the bottom frame 2 without articulated side wall. The recess 5 serves to receive the guide element 11 of the side wall 4. In this bottom frame recess 5, the nose 6 is arranged centrally. The arrangement of the nose 6 in the recess 5 is selected so that the pivot axis "A" passes through the upper edge 7 of the nose 6, when the lower edge 13 of the side wall guide member 13 rests on the upper edge 7 of the Nas 6 and the lower edge 12 of Side wall 4 rests on the upper edge 8 of the bottom frame 2. At the upper end of the bottom frame recess 5, the projection 10 can be seen with its front edge 17. The bottom frame recess 5 is constructed symmetrically, so that on both sides of the recess 5, a projection 10 extends into the recess 5. Along one side of the bottom frame 2 of the storage and transport container each have at least two such bottom frame recesses 5 are provided.

In der Figur 4 ist ein Ausschnitt einer Seitenwand im Bereich eines Verbindungselementes in einer perspektivischen Darstellung gezeigt. An der Seitenwand 4 ist das Seitenwand-Führungselement 11 angeformt. Im Anschluss an die Unterkante der Seitenwand 4 ist die Aussparung 9 im Seitenwand-Führungselement 11 zu erkennen. Das Seitenwand-Führungselement 11 weist in dieser Ausführung etwa die Dicke der Seitenwand 4 auf. Das Seitenwand-Führungselement 11 weist zwei Ausnehmungen 23 auf, wodurch dieses dreigeteilt ist. An den beiden äusseren leistenförmigen Scharnierarmen 24, 25 sind die Scharnierbolzen 19 angeformt. Den mittleren Teil des Seitenwand-Führungselements 11 bildet eine U-Profil förmige Leiste 26, mit der Unterkante 13 des Seitenwand-Führungselementes. Sowohl die Scharnierarme 24, 25 wie auch die U-Profil förmige Leiste 26 sind an den unteren Enden abgerundet. Ist die Seitenwand 4 am Bodenrahmen 2 anscharniert, so greifen die Scharnierbolzen 19 in die Scharnierbolzen-Aufnahmen 15 ein. Bei hochgeklappter Seitenwand 4 liegt die Unterkante 12 der Seitenwand 4 auf der Oberkante 8 des Bodenrahmens 2 auf. In dieser Position liegt die Unterkante 13 des Seitenwand-Führungselementes 11 auf der Nase 6 auf. Wird die Seitenwand 4 abgeklappt, so greift die Nase 6 in das U-Profil der Leiste 26 ein. Trennstege 20 (Figur 3), die beidseitig der Nase 6 angeordnet sind, verhindern, dass die Scharnierbolzen 19 aus der Scharnierbolzen-Aufnahme 15 gedrückt werden können. Diese Trennstege 20 erstrecken sich jedoch nicht über die gesamte Länge der Ausnehmung 23 des Seitenwand-Führungselementes 11. Befindet sich nämlich die abgeklappte Seitenwand 4 in der obersten Position, so können die Scharnierarme 24, 25 seitlich weggedrückt werden, um die Scharnierbolzen 19 in die Scharnierbolzen-Aufnahme 15 einzuführen, bzw. herauszunehmen. Um das Einführen der Scharnierbolzen 19 in deren Aufnahmen 15 zu erleichtern, weisen einerseits die Scharnierbolzen 19 eine Abschrägung 27 auf und andererseits sind die Seitenflanken 28 der Ausnehmung des Bodenrahmens im oberen Bereich 28 ebenfalls abgeschrägt.In the FIG. 4 a section of a side wall in the region of a connecting element is shown in a perspective view. On the side wall 4, the side wall guide member 11 is formed. Subsequent to the lower edge of the side wall 4, the recess 9 can be seen in the side wall guide element 11. The side wall guide member 11 has in this embodiment about the thickness of the side wall 4. The side wall guide member 11 has two recesses 23, whereby this is divided into three parts. On the two outer strip-shaped hinge arms 24, 25, the hinge pin 19 are formed. The middle part of the side wall guide member 11 forms a U-shaped bar 26, with the lower edge 13 of the side wall guide member. Both the hinge arms 24, 25 as well as the U-shaped bar 26 are rounded at the lower ends. If the side wall 4 is hinged to the bottom frame 2, the hinge pins 19 engage in the hinge pin receptacles 15. When folded up side wall 4, the lower edge 12 of the side wall 4 rests on the upper edge 8 of the bottom frame 2. In this position, the lower edge 13 of the side wall guide member 11 rests on the nose 6. If the side wall 4 is folded down, the nose 6 engages in the U-profile of the strip 26. Dividers 20 ( FIG. 3 ), which are arranged on both sides of the nose 6, prevent the hinge pin 19 can be pressed out of the hinge pin receptacle 15. However, these dividers 20 do not extend over the entire length of the recess 23 of the side wall guide member 11. Namely, is the folded side wall 4 in the uppermost position, the hinge arms 24, 25 can be pushed laterally to the hinge pin 19 in the hinge pin To introduce or remove recording 15. In order to facilitate the insertion of the hinge pin 19 in the receptacles 15, on the one hand, the hinge pin 19 has a bevel 27 and on the other hand, the side edges 28 of the recess of the bottom frame in the upper portion 28 are also bevelled.

Um zu verhindern, dass eine bereits hochgeklappte Seitenwände 4 zurückklappt, sind an der Unterkante 12 der Seitenwand 4 und an der Oberkante 8 des Bodenrahmens 2 Kipphemmungen vorgesehen. Diese bestehen aus Ausnehmungen 29 an der Oberseite 8 des Seitenwandrahmens 2 und aus Rastnasen 30 an der Unterkante 12 der Seitenwand 4, die dazu bestimmt sind, in die Ausnehmungen 29 einzurasten.In order to prevent an already folded up side walls 4 back, 2 tilting stoppers are provided on the lower edge 12 of the side wall 4 and on the upper edge 8 of the bottom frame. These consist of recesses 29 on the upper side 8 of the side wall frame 2 and latching lugs 30 on the lower edge 12 of the side wall 4, which are intended to engage in the recesses 29.

In Figur 5 ist ein Ausschnitt des Bodenrahmens 2 mit angelenkter und abgeklappter Seitenwand 4 in der unterer Position in einer perspektivischen Schnitt-Darstellung gezeigt, wobei die Schnittebene vertikal durch die Nase 6 verläuft. Das Seitenwand-Führungselement liegt mit der U-Profil förmigen Leiste 26 auf der Oberkante 7 der Nase 6 auf. Die Trennstege 20 ragen in die Ausnehmung 23 des Seitenwand-Führungselementes. Beim Hochklappen der Seitenwand 4 wird die Seitenwand 4 um die Kippachse A, die durch die Scharnierbolzen 19 und die Oberkante der Nase verläuft, geschwenkt, bis die Rastnasen 30 in die Ausnehmungen 29 an der Oberseite 8 des Seitenwandrahmens 2 einrasten.In FIG. 5 a section of the bottom frame 2 is shown with hinged and folded side wall 4 in the lower position in a perspective sectional view, wherein the cutting plane extends vertically through the nose 6. The side wall guide member rests with the U-shaped bar 26 on the upper edge 7 of the nose 6. The dividers 20 protrude into the recess 23 of the side wall guide element. When folding up the side wall 4, the side wall 4 about the tilt axis A, by the hinge pin 19 and the Upper edge of the nose extends, pivoted until the locking lugs 30 engage in the recesses 29 on the upper side 8 of the side wall frame 2.

Die Figur 6 zeigt eine Darstellung wie in Figur 5, jedoch mit einer Seitenwand in der oberen Position. Die vertikale Schnittebene verläuft zwischen einem Scharnierarm 25 und dem Trennsteg 20. Zu erkennen ist, dass die Rückseite 16 des Seitenwand-Führungselementes 11 die Innenseite des Vorsprungs 10 berührt und die Unterkante 13 an der Rückwand 22 anliegt. Wird nun die Seitenwand 4 vorne hochgeklappt, so wirkt die Kante 17 als Schwenkachse für die Seitenwand 4 und da die Scharnierbolzen 19 aufgrund ihrer Führung in den Scharnierbolzen- Aufnahmen 15 nur vertikal verschoben werden können, werden die Scharnierbolzen 19 nach unten gedrückt. Da wenigstens zwei Seitenwand-Führungselemente 11 an einer Seitenwand 4 vorgesehen sind, verlagert sich die Achse durch die Scharnierbolzen parallel zur Oberkante des Bodenrahmens 2 nach unten, bis die Unterkante 13 der U-Profil Leiste auf der Nase 6 aufliegt. Befindet sich die Seitenwand 4 in einer Zwischenlage, also zwischen unterster und oberster Position der Seitenwand 4, so wird die Seitenwand zunächst geschwenkt, bis die Rückseite 16 des Seitenwand-Führungselements 11 an der Kante 17 anschlägt. Anschliessend werden die Scharnierbolzen 19 wieder nach unten gedrückt bis die Unterkante 13 der U-Profil Leiste auf der Nase 6 aufliegt.The FIG. 6 shows a representation as in FIG. 5 but with a sidewall in the upper position. The vertical sectional plane extends between a hinge arm 25 and the divider 20. It can be seen that the back 16 of the side wall guide member 11 contacts the inside of the projection 10 and the bottom edge 13 abuts against the rear wall 22. Now, if the side wall 4 folded up the front, the edge 17 acts as a pivot axis for the side wall 4 and since the hinge pin 19 can only be moved vertically due to their leadership in the Hinge 15 recordings, the hinge pin 19 are pressed down. Since at least two side wall guide elements 11 are provided on a side wall 4, the axis displaced by the hinge pin parallel to the upper edge of the bottom frame 2 down until the lower edge 13 of the U-profile strip rests on the nose 6. If the side wall 4 is located in an intermediate position, that is to say between the lowermost and uppermost position of the side wall 4, the side wall is initially pivoted until the rear side 16 of the side wall guide element 11 abuts against the edge 17. Subsequently, the hinge pin 19 are pressed down again until the lower edge 13 of the U-profile strip rests on the nose 6.

Mit dem erfindungsgemässen Lager- und Transportbehälter können dessen Seitenwände zusammengeklappt und flach aufeinander gelegt werden. Beim Hochklappen der Seitenwände verhindern die am Bodenteil und der Seitenwand angeordneten Führungsmittel ein Verkanten der Seitenwände.With the inventive storage and transport container whose side walls can be folded and placed flat on each other. When folding up the side walls arranged on the bottom part and the side wall guide means prevent tilting of the side walls.
