Description

"Transport- und Laqerbehälter"  "Transport and storage containers"
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Transport- und Lagerbehälter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. The invention relates to a transport and storage container according to the preamble of claim 1.
Behälter der eingangs genannten Art sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt und dem Fachmann geläufig. Containers of the type mentioned are known from the prior art and familiar to those skilled in the art.
Einen derartigen vorbekannten Behälter offenbart beispielsweise die EP 0 786 412 Bl. Die EP 0 786 412 Bl offenbart einen Behälter mit einer Bodenwanne, die einen Boden sowie sogenannte Wandsockelbereiche aufweist. Oberhalb der Wandsockelbereiche sind vier Seitenwände angeordnet, deren Unterkanten mit mehreren Scharnierelementen versehen sind. Diese Scharnierelemente sind in passende Scharnieraufnahmeöffnungen in der Oberseite des zugehörigen Wandsockelbereiches einsetzbar und dort einrastbar. Hierdurch wird für jede Seitenwand eine Schwenkachse gebildet, die innerhalb der Wandsockelbereiche parallel zu den Kanten des Behälterbodens verlaufen. Die Seitenwände sind um die Schwenkachsen nach innen hin zu Boden der Bodenwanne einklappbar. EP 0 786 412 B1, for example, discloses such a previously known container. EP 0 786 412 B1 discloses a container with a base tray, which has a base and so-called wall base areas. Above the wall base areas four side walls are arranged, whose lower edges are provided with several hinge elements. These hinge elements can be inserted into matching hinge receiving openings in the upper side of the associated wall base area and can be latched there. As a result, a pivot axis is formed for each side wall, which run parallel to the edges of the container bottom within the wall base portions. The side walls can be folded inwards around the swivel axes to the bottom of the floor pan.
Daneben erfüllen Scharniere in dem vorbekannten Behälter auch die Funktion der Fixierung zwischen Seitenwände und Wandsockelbereiche. In addition, hinges in the previously known container also fulfill the function of fixing between side walls and wall base areas.
Nachteilig bei diesem vorbekannten Behälter ist es jedoch, dass die Öffnungen im Bereich der Scharniere Raum für Verschmutzungen bieten, die sich nur aufwendig wieder beseitigen lassen. Zudem besteht bei der Verwendung von Folien-Inlinern zum Schutz besonders empfindlicher Güter oder Flüssigkeit die Gefahr, dass diese aufgrund der unregelmäßigen Innenflächen an den Scharnieren beschädigt werden. A disadvantage of this known container, however, is that the openings in the hinges provide space for contamination, which can be eliminated only consuming. In addition, the use of film inliners for the protection of particularly sensitive goods or liquid there is a risk that they are damaged due to the irregular inner surfaces of the hinges.
Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Behälter der eingangs genannten Art zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei dem die Fixierung der Seitenwände sowie der Schwenkmechanismus auch ohne in den Seitenwänden angeordnete Scharniere gewährleistet ist. Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a container of the type mentioned, in which the fixation of the side walls and the pivot mechanism is ensured even without arranged in the side walls hinges. This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. Advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung sieht vor, dass wenigstens eine Seitenwand und wenigstens eine Wand der Bodenwanne zueinander korrespondierende Verbindungselemente aufweisen, wobei ein Verbindungselement beim Aufklappen der Seitenwand in das korrespondierende Verbindungselement passgenau einführbar ist. The invention provides that at least one side wall and at least one wall of the bottom pan have mutually corresponding connecting elements, wherein a connecting element when inserting the side wall into the corresponding connecting element is inserted accurately.
Die Grundidee der Erfindung ist es, den Übergang zwischen Seitenwand und Bo¬ denwanne als durchgehende Lippe auszugestalten. Hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass Scharniere entlang der mindestens einen Seitenwand durch korrespondierende Verbindungselemente ersetzt werden, die passgenau ineinander einführbar sind. Durch die Einführung eines ersten Verbindungselementes in das korrespondierende Verbindungselement werden zudem im aufgeklappten Zustand des Behälters die Kräfte von einer Seitenwand auf die Bodenwanne übertragen. Die Fixierung der Seitenwand durch ein Scharnier entlang der Scharnierachse kann so in den äußeren Bereich der Seitenwand verlegt werden. The basic idea of the invention is to design the transition between side wall and Bo ¬ denwanne as a continuous lip. For this purpose, it is provided that hinges are replaced along the at least one side wall by corresponding connecting elements, which are precisely inserted into one another. By introducing a first connecting element into the corresponding connecting element, the forces are also transferred from a side wall to the floor pan in the unfolded state of the container. The fixation of the side wall by a hinge along the hinge axis can be laid in the outer region of the side wall.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung geht daher vor, dass an den seitlichen Rändern von wenigstens zwei gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden und wenigstens zwei gegenüberliegenden Wänden der Bodenwanne Scharnierelemente ausgebildet sind. An advantageous embodiment of the invention is therefore that are formed at the lateral edges of at least two opposite side walls and at least two opposite walls of the bottom pan hinge elements.
Die korrespondierenden Verbindungselemente können unterschiedliche konstruktive Ausgestaltungen erfahren. Vorzugsweise ist das erste Verbindungselement in Form einer Durchbrechung oder eines Zapfens ausgebildet. The corresponding connecting elements can undergo different structural configurations. Preferably, the first connecting element is designed in the form of an opening or a pin.
Alternativ kann auch das zweite Verbindungselement in Gestalt einer Durchbrechung oder eines Zapfens ausgebildet sein. Somit können gemäß der Erfindung sowohl die Seitenwände als auch die Wände der Bodenwanne entweder mit einer Durchbrechung oder einem Zapfen versehen sein. Als eine leistungsfähige Verbindungsart hat sich auch die Nut-Feder-Verbindung erwiesen. Vorzugsweise sind die korrespondierenden Verbindungselemente daher Elemente einer Nut-Feder-Verbindung. Alternatively, the second connecting element may be formed in the form of an opening or a pin. Thus, according to the invention, both the side walls and the walls of the floor pan can be provided with either an opening or a pin. As a powerful connection, the tongue and groove connection has proven itself. Preferably, the corresponding connecting elements are therefore elements of a tongue and groove connection.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass an dem erfindungsgemäßen Behälter Rastnasen derart angeordnet sind, dass ein nach innen Drücken der Seitenwand verhindert wird. A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that locking lugs are arranged on the container according to the invention such that inward pressing of the side wall is prevented.
Vorteilhafterweise sind zwei gegenüberliegende Seitenwände mit zur jeweils benachbarten Seite ausgerichteten Eckstegen ausgerüstet, an denen sich die jeweils benachbarten Seitenwände beim Aufrichten anlegen. Die Eckstege sind dabei vor¬ zugsweise mit Aufnahmen ausgebildet, in die Rastelemente der benachbarten Seitenwände eingreifen. Advantageously, two opposite side walls are equipped with aligned to each adjacent side corner webs on which create each adjacent side walls when erecting. The corner webs are formed in front ¬ preferably with recordings, engage in the locking elements of the adjacent side walls.
Vorteilhafterweise sind dabei auch die Eckstege und die Außenfläche der jeweils benachbarten Seitenwände beabstandet zueinander angeordnet. Durch diese bevorzugte konstruktive Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist gewährleistet, dass Biegemomente besser aufgenommen werden können. Advantageously, the corner webs and the outer surface of the respective adjacent side walls are arranged spaced from one another. This preferred structural embodiment of the invention ensures that bending moments can be better absorbed.
Eine praktikable Variante der Erfindung sieht vor, dass zwei gegenüberliegende Seitenwände mit Sperrelementen, wie beispielsweise Sperrschiebern, ausgerüstet sind, durch die die Seitenwände miteinander verriegelbar sind. Die Sperrelemente werden dabei vorzugsweise simultan symmetrisch betätigt, so dass die Seitenwand bei einem Zusammenklappen keine Verdrehung bzw. Verkantung erfährt. Zudem wird durch die konstruktive Ausgestaltung der Sperrelemente erreicht, dass eine Übersetzung gegeben ist, die mit einem geringen Hub den erforderlichen Entriegelungshub gewährleistet. Vorzugsweise sind die beiden kurzen Seitenwände in dem Behälter mit den Sperrelementen versehen. A practicable variant of the invention provides that two opposite side walls with locking elements, such as pushers, are equipped, through which the side walls are locked together. The blocking elements are preferably simultaneously actuated symmetrically, so that the side wall undergoes no twisting or tilting when folded. In addition, it is achieved by the structural design of the locking elements that a translation is given, which ensures the required Entriegelungshub with a small stroke. Preferably, the two short side walls in the container are provided with the locking elements.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen in schematischen Darstellungen: Fig. 1 in perspektivischer Ansicht einen erfindungsgemäßen Behälter, dessen Seiten aufgerichtet sind, In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

Der Behälter 1 besitzt eine rechteckförmige Form und weist vier Seitenabschnitte 2 auf. Die Seitenabschnitte 2 setzen sich wiederum jeweils aus Seitenwänden 3, 4a sowie aus Wänden 4, 5 der Bodenwanne 8 zusammen. Die Bodenwanne 8 weist einen Boden 6 auf und ist an ihren Seitenkanten 7 von den Wänden 4, 5 umgrenzt. Der Boden 6 der Bodenwanne 8 sowie die Wände 4, 5 der Bodenwanne 8 sind einteilig miteinander verbunden. Sowohl die Wände 4 als auch die Wände 5 der Bodenwanne 8 sind jeweils gegenüberliegende Wände. Zwischen den Wänden 4, 5 sind Randleisten 29 ausgebildet, die von runder Form und höhengleich mit den Wänden 4 sind, die die Wände in Längsrichtung der Bodenwanne 8 bilden. Oberhalb der Wände 4, 5 der Bodenwanne 8 sind die Seitenwände 3, 4a angeordnet und direkt mit den Wänden 4, 5 der Bodenwanne 8 verbunden. Die Seitenwände 3, 4a sind, wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, mit Grifföffnungen 9 und Versteifungsrippen 10 versehen. The container 1 has a rectangular shape and has four side sections 2. The side sections 2 in turn are each composed of side walls 3, 4a and walls 4, 5 of the bottom tray 8 together. The floor pan 8 has a bottom 6 and is at its side edges 7 of the walls 4, 5th circumscribed. The bottom 6 of the bottom tray 8 and the walls 4, 5 of the bottom tray 8 are integrally connected. Both the walls 4 and the walls 5 of the floor pan 8 are each opposite walls. Between the walls 4, 5 edge strips 29 are formed, which are of a round shape and the same height as the walls 4, which form the walls in the longitudinal direction of the bottom trough 8. Above the walls 4, 5 of the floor pan 8, the side walls 3, 4 a are arranged and connected directly to the walls 4, 5 of the floor pan 8. The side walls 3, 4a are, as shown in FIG. 1, provided with handle openings 9 and stiffening ribs 10.
Wie aus Fig. 1 weiterhin hervorgeht, sind an den Innenflächen, d.h. an den dem Behälterinneren zugewandten Flächen, der die beiden längeren Seiten des Behälters 1 bildenden Seitenabschnitte 2 eine Verbindungslinie 11 ausgebildet, die die Verbindung zwischen den Wänden 4 der Bodenwanne 8 und der Seitenwände 3 markiert. Diese Verbindungslinie 11 ist in Form einer längslaufenden Fugenlippe 12 ausgebildet und verläuft parallel zur Seitenkante 7 der Bodenwanne 8. In Fig. 1 ist aus zeichnerischen Gründen nur die längslaufende Fugenlippe 12 einer Seitenwand 3 dargestellt. As further shown in Fig. 1, on the inner surfaces, i. at the container interior facing surfaces, the two longer sides of the container 1 forming side portions 2 a connecting line 11 is formed, which marks the connection between the walls 4 of the bottom tray 8 and the side walls 3. This connecting line 11 is formed in the form of a longitudinal groove lip 12 and extends parallel to the side edge 7 of the bottom tray 8. In Fig. 1, only the longitudinal joint lip 12 of a side wall 3 is shown for illustrative reasons.
An der Außenfläche, d.h. an der dem Behälterinneren abgewandten Seite des Seitenabschnittes 2 fehlt, wie aus Fig. 1 hervorgeht, eine längslaufende Fugenlippe im Verbindungsbereich 13 zwischen den Seitenwänden 3 und den Wänden 4 der Bodenwanne 8. Der Verbindungsbereich 13 zwischen der Seitenwand 3 und der Wand 4 der Bodenwanne 8 an der Außenfläche der Seitenabschnitte 2 befindet sich in Höhe der längslaufenden Fugenlippe 12. Aus zeichnerischen Gründen ist in Fig. 1 nur der Verbindungsbereich eines Seitenabschnittes 2 dargestellt. In dem Verbindungsbereich 13 zwischen der Seitenwand 3 und der Wand 4 der Bodenwanne 8 sind zueinander korrespondierende Verbindungselemente 14, 15 ausge¬ bildet. Zwischen den Verbindungselementen 14, 15 sind zudem in den Seitenwänden 3 kleine quaderförmige Einbuchtungen 16 vorgesehen. 1, a longitudinal joint lip in the connection region 13 between the side walls 3 and the walls 4 of the bottom trough 8. The connection region 13 between the side wall 3 and the Wall 4 of the floor pan 8 on the outer surface of the side sections 2 is located at the level of the longitudinal groove lip 12. For reasons of illustration, only the connection region of a side portion 2 is shown in Fig. 1. In the connecting region 13 between the side wall 3 and the wall 4 of the base tray 8 are mutually corresponding connection elements 14, being formed ¬ 15th Between the connecting elements 14, 15 3 small cuboid indentations 16 are also provided in the side walls.
Die Stirnseiten des Behälters 1 werden, wie Fig. 1 zeigt, von den beiden kürzeren Seitenabschnitte 2 gebildet. Diese beiden gegenüberliegenden kürzeren Seitenab- schnitte 2 setzen sich wiederum aus einer Seitenwand 4a und einer Wand 5 der Bodenwanne 8 zusammen. Die Seitenwände 4a sind über den Wänden 5 der Bodenwanne 8 angeordnet und mit den Wänden 5 der Bodenwanne 8 über Scharniere 17 verbunden. The end faces of the container 1 are, as shown in FIG. 1, formed by the two shorter side sections 2. These two opposite shorter side slopes sections 2 are in turn composed of a side wall 4a and a wall 5 of the bottom tray 8. The side walls 4a are arranged above the walls 5 of the floor pan 8 and connected to the walls 5 of the floor pan 8 via hinges 17.
Die Seitenwände 3, 4a der vier Seitenabschnitte 2 schließen oberseitig mit einem umlaufenden Stapelrand 18 ab. Dieser setzt sich aus den oberen Rändern 19 der beiden längeren Seitenwände 3 sowie den oberen Rändern 20 der Seitenwände 4a an den Stirnseiten des Behälters 1 zusammen. Die oberen Ränder 19 sind an den Ecken des Behälters 1 bogenförmig ausgebildet. Diese bogenförmigen Ränder von eckumgreifenden Seitenbereichen 21 sind Teile der beiden längeren Seitenwände 3, die sich in den stirnseitigen Bereich des Behälters 1 erstrecken. Die eckumgreifenden Seitenbereiche 21 weisen jeweils einen Ecksteg 22 auf, dessen oberer Rand 22a eine im Vergleich zum übrigen oberen Rand 19, 20 der Seitenwände 3, 4a eine geringere Breite aufweist. Der Ecksteg 22 ist flächig ausgebildet und mit L-förmi-gen Durchbrechungen 23 versehen. Die oberen Ränder 22a der Eckstege 22 liegen an korrespondierenden oberen Rändern 24 der an den Stirnseiten des Behälters 1 befindlichen Seitenwände 4a an. Die zu dem oberen Rand 22a des Ecksteges 22 korrespondierenden Bereiche des oberen Randes 24 der stirnseitigen Seitenwände 4a des Behälters 1 weisen einen im Vergleich zu dem übrigen Rand 20 der Seitenwände 4a geringere Breite auf. In dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten aufgerichteten Zustand des Behälters 1 liegt der obere Rand 22a des Ecksteges 22 der beiden längeren Seitenwände 3 an dem breitenmäßig reduzierten oberen Rand 24 der stirnseitigen Seitenwände 4a an. Durch dieses Zusammenwirken des oberen Randes 22a des Ecksteges 22 und des korrespondierenden oberen Randes 24 der stirnseitigen Seitenwände 4a sind die Eckstege 22 und die in diesem Bereich korrespondierende Außenfläche 26 der stirnseitigen Seitenwände 4a beabstandet zueinander angeordnet. The side walls 3, 4 a of the four side sections 2 terminate on the upper side with a peripheral stack edge 18. This is composed of the upper edges 19 of the two longer side walls 3 and the upper edges 20 of the side walls 4a at the end faces of the container 1 together. The upper edges 19 are formed at the corners of the container 1 arcuate. These arcuate edges of corner-encircling side regions 21 are parts of the two longer side walls 3, which extend into the frontal region of the container 1. The corner-encompassing side regions 21 each have a corner web 22, whose upper edge 22a has a smaller width than the remaining upper edge 19, 20 of the side walls 3, 4a. The corner web 22 is formed flat and provided with L-förmi-gene openings 23. The upper edges 22a of the corner webs 22 abut against corresponding upper edges 24 of the side walls 4a located at the end faces of the container 1. The corresponding to the upper edge 22a of the corner web 22 areas of the upper edge 24 of the front side walls 4a of the container 1 have a smaller compared to the remaining edge 20 of the side walls 4a width. In the erected state of the container 1 shown in FIG. 1, the upper edge 22a of the corner web 22 of the two longer side walls 3 rests against the widthwise reduced upper edge 24 of the front side walls 4a. As a result of this interaction of the upper edge 22a of the corner web 22 and the corresponding upper edge 24 of the front side walls 4a, the corner webs 22 and the outer surface 26 of the front side walls 4a corresponding to this area are arranged at a distance from each other.
Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, sind die Seitenwände 3, 4a nach innen zum Boden 6 der Bodenwanne 8 einklappbar. Bei einem Zusammenklappen des Behälters 1 aus seiner Öffnungslage, d.h. aus einem Zustand mit aufgerichteten Seitenwänden 3, 4a, werden zunächst die stirnseitigen, kürzeren Seitenwände 4a nach innen geklappt, bis sie auf den Boden 6 in der Bodenwanne 8 aufliegen. Nach diesem Schwenkvorgang werden die beiden längeren Seitenwände 3 nach innen zum Boden 6 der Bodenwanne 8 geklappt. Die Eckstege 22 der Seitenbereiche 21 liegen im eingeklappten Zustand an den Wänden 5 der Bodenwanne an. As shown in FIG. 2, the side walls 3, 4 a are inwardly foldable to the bottom 6 of the bottom tray 8. When folding the container 1 from its open position, ie from a state with upright side walls 3, 4a, first the front side, shorter side walls 4a are folded inwards, until they rest on the floor 6 in the bottom tray 8. After this pivoting operation, the two longer side walls 3 are folded inwards to the bottom 6 of the bottom tray 8. The corner webs 22 of the side portions 21 are in the folded state on the walls 5 of the floor pan.
Wie aus Fig. 2 weiterhin ersichtlich ist, sind erste korrespondierende Verbindungselemente 15 in den Wänden 4 der Bodenwanne 8 ausgeformt. In der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Behälters 1 liegen die Verbindungselemente 15 in Form von T-förmigen Durchbrechungen vor, die nach oben hin, d.h. an den oberen Rändern 27 der Wände 4 der Bodenwanne 8 offen sind. Die zu den in den Wänden 4 der Bodenwanne 8 ausgeformten Verbindungselementen 15 korrespondierenden Verbindungselemente 14 befinden sich unterhalb des unteren Randes 28 der beiden längeren Seitenwände 3 des Behälters 1. Die korrespondierenden Verbindungselemente 14 sind als T-förmige Stege einteilig an den Seitenwänden 3 ausgeformt. As is further apparent from FIG. 2, first corresponding connecting elements 15 are formed in the walls 4 of the base trough 8. In the embodiment of the container 1 according to the invention shown in Fig. 2, the connecting elements 15 are in the form of T-shaped openings, which are upwardly, i. at the upper edges 27 of the walls 4 of the floor pan 8 are open. The to the formed in the walls 4 of the bottom tray 8 connecting elements 15 corresponding connecting elements 14 are located below the lower edge 28 of the two longer side walls 3 of the container 1. The corresponding connecting elements 14 are integrally formed as T-shaped webs on the side walls 3.
In den aus in Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 ersichtlichen Randleisten 29 der Wände 4 der Bodenwanne 8 befinden sich Teile von Scharnieren, die mit an den Seitenwänden 3 befindlichen Scharnierteilen wechselwirken, so dass die Seitenwände 3, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, zum Boden 6 der Bodenwanne 8 hin schwenkbar sind. In the apparent from in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 edge strips 29 of the walls 4 of the bottom tray 8 are parts of hinges which interact with located on the side walls 3 hinge parts, so that the side walls 3, as shown in Fig. 2, for Floor 6 of the floor pan 8 are pivoted out.
Im Falle des Aufrichtens der beiden längeren Seitenwände 3 in die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Öffnungslage des Behälters 1 wird das unterhalb des unteren Randes 28 der Seitenwand 3 ausgeformte Verbindungselement 14 in das in der Wand 4 der Bodenwanne 8 ausgeformte korrespondierende zweite Verbindungselement 15 eingeführt. In erfindungswesentlicher Weise sind somit Scharniere entlang der beiden längeren Seitenwände 3 des Behälters 1 durch die korrespondierenden Verbindungselemente 14, 15 ersetzt, wodurch die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Führungslippe 12 ausgebildet wird. In the case of erecting the two longer side walls 3 in the opening position of the container 1 shown in Fig. 1, the formed below the lower edge 28 of the side wall 3 connecting element 14 is inserted into the formed in the wall 4 of the bottom tray 8 corresponding second connecting element 15. In accordance with the invention, therefore, hinges are replaced along the two longer side walls 3 of the container 1 by the corresponding connecting elements 14, 15, whereby the guide lip 12 shown in Fig. 1 is formed.
Der Schwenkmechanismus wird durch die an den Randleisten 29 befindlichen Scharniere vollzogen. Der Schwenkvorgang der beiden stirnseitigen Seitenwände 4a wird durch die in Fig. 1 gezeigten Scharniere 17 vollzogen, die zwischen den Randleisten 29 angeordnet sind. Hierzu sind in den stirnseitigen Wänden 5 der Bodenwanne 8 Scharnieraufnahmeöffnungen vorgesehen, in die die entsprechenden Scharnierelemente einsetzbar sind. The pivot mechanism is completed by the located on the edge strips 29 hinges. The pivoting operation of the two end-side side walls 4a is completed by the hinges 17 shown in FIG Edge strips 29 are arranged. For this purpose, 8 hinge receiving openings are provided in the end walls 5 of the bottom tray, in which the corresponding hinge elements can be used.
Die Fig. 3 und 4, die jeweils einen Teilausschnitt des Behälters 1 zeigen, verdeutlichen noch einmal das Zusammenwirken der korrespondierenden Verbindungselemente 14, 15 zueinander. Fig. 3 zeigt das korrespondierende Verbindungselement 15 unmittelbar neben der Randleiste 29 der Wand 4 der Bodenwanne 8, die die Aufnahme für das an der Seitenwand 3 ausgebildete Scharnierelement 30 bilden. Das unterhalb des unteren Randes 28 der Seitenwand 3 und einteilig an der Seitenwand 3 ausgeformte Verbindungselement 14 weist ein kurzes von dem unteren Rand 28 sich weg erstreckenden Steg 31 auf, der mit einem vertikal zu dem Steg 31 verlaufenden Flächenstück 32 abschließt, so dass das Verbindungselement 14 die Form eines "T-Zapfens" 32a annimmt. Das zu dem Verbindungselement 14 korrespondierende Verbindungselement 15 ist in der Wand 4, d.h. in der längeren Seite der Bodenwanne 8, ausgebildet. Figs. 3 and 4, each showing a partial section of the container 1, illustrate once again the interaction of the corresponding connecting elements 14, 15 to each other. Fig. 3 shows the corresponding connecting element 15 immediately adjacent to the edge strip 29 of the wall 4 of the bottom tray 8, which form the receptacle for the formed on the side wall 3 hinge member 30. The below the lower edge 28 of the side wall 3 and integrally formed on the side wall 3 connecting member 14 has a short from the lower edge 28 extending away web 31, which terminates with a vertically extending to the web 31 surface piece 32, so that the connecting element 14 takes the form of a "T-pin" 32a. The connecting element 15 corresponding to the connecting element 14 is in the wall 4, i. in the longer side of the bottom tray 8, formed.
In den in den Fig. 3 und 4 gezeigten Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind die Seitenwände 3 mit Scharnierelementen 30 versehen, die von den Randleisten 29 der Wände 4, 5 der Bodenwanne 8 eingeschlossen sind. Alternativ sind die Seitenwände 3 wie die Ausführungsform in Fig. 7 zeigt, mit Scharnierelementen 30 versehen, die in Randleisten 37 der Wände 4, 5 der Bodenwanne 8 angeordnet sind, wobei die Randleisten 37 den Höhen der Wände 4, 5 angepasst sind. In der in Fig. 7 gezeigten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Behälters 1 sind die Randleisten 37 an ihren Seitenrändern im Wesentlichen höhengleich mit den Wänden 4, 5 der Bodenwanne 8. In the embodiments of the invention shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the side walls 3 are provided with hinge elements 30 which are enclosed by the edge strips 29 of the walls 4, 5 of the floor pan 8. Alternatively, the side walls 3 are, as the embodiment in Fig. 7 shows, provided with hinge elements 30 which are arranged in edge strips 37 of the walls 4, 5 of the floor pan 8, wherein the edge strips 37 are adapted to the heights of the walls 4, 5. In the embodiment of the container 1 according to the invention shown in FIG. 7, the edge strips 37 are substantially level with the walls 4, 5 of the bottom tray 8 at their side edges.
Das korrespondierende Verbindungselement 15 liegt, wie aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, in Gestalt einer Durchbrechung 35 vor, die in der Wand 4 der Bodenwanne 8 ausgebildet ist. Die Durchbrechung 35 weist wiederum eine zu dem Flächenstück 32 korrespondierende längliche Durchbrechung 33 auf, die sich unterhalb des oberen Randes 27 der Wand 4 befindet. Oberhalb und mittig der länglichen Durchbrechung 33 schließt sich eine schmale spaltförmige zu dem Steg 31 korrespondie- rende Durchbrechung 34 an, die im oberen Rand 27 der Wand 4 der Bodenwanne 8 ausgeformt ist. The corresponding connecting element 15 is, as is apparent from Fig. 3, in the form of an opening 35, which is formed in the wall 4 of the bottom tray 8. The opening 35 in turn has a corresponding to the surface piece 32 elongated opening 33 which is located below the upper edge 27 of the wall 4. Above and in the middle of the elongate opening 33, a narrow gap-shaped opening corresponds to the web 31. rende opening 34, which is formed in the upper edge 27 of the wall 4 of the bottom tray 8.
Wie aus Fig. 6 hervorgeht, liegt das korrespondierende Verbindungselement 15 gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung in Gestalt einer Vertiefung 36 vor, die in der Wand 4 der Bodenwand 8 ausgebildet ist. Unterhalb des unteren Randes 36a der Seitenwand 3 ist das einteilig an der Seitenwand 3 korrespondierende Verbindungselement 14 ausgeformt, das passgenau in die Vertiefung 36 führbar ist. As is apparent from Fig. 6, the corresponding connecting element 15 according to a further embodiment of the invention in the form of a recess 36, which is formed in the wall 4 of the bottom wall 8. Below the lower edge 36a of the side wall 3, the one-piece on the side wall 3 corresponding connecting element 14 is formed, which is precisely in the recess 36 can be guided.
Sowohl im unteren Rand 28 der Seitenwand 3 als auch im oberen Rand 27 der Wände 4 der Bodenwanne 8 sind, wie Fig. 3 zeigt, Einbuchtungen 16, 36 vorgesehen, die auf der dem Scharnierelement 30 abgewandten Seite der korrespondierenden Verbindungselemente 14, 15 angeordnet sind. Both in the lower edge 28 of the side wall 3 and in the upper edge 27 of the walls 4 of the bottom tray 8, as shown in FIG. 3, indentations 16, 36 are provided, which are arranged on the side facing away from the hinge element 30 of the corresponding connecting elements 14, 15 ,
Aus Fig. 4, die eine Momentaufnahme eines Schwenkvorganges zeigt, ist erkennbar, dass während des Aufklappens bzw. Zusammenklappens des in Fig. 1 gezeigten Behälters 1 das an der Seitenwand 3 ausgebildete Verbindungselement 14 in das in der Wand 4 der Bodenwanne 8 ausgebildete korrespondierende Verbindungselement 15 passgenau einführbar ist. Hierdurch ist in erfindungswesentlicher Weise eine Fixierung der Seitenwand 3 durch die korrespondierenden Verbindungselemente 14, 15 gegeben. Eine Fixierung der Seitenwand 3 durch ein Scharnier bzw. Scharniere, die entlang der Seitenwand 3 angeordnet sind, kann in den Randleisten 29 erfolgen. Der Übergang, d.h. die Verbindungslinie zwischen der Seitenwand 3 und der Wand 4 der Bodenwanne 8 ist somit durch die in Fig. 1 gegebene durchgehende Fugenlippe 12 gegeben. From Fig. 4, which shows a snapshot of a pivoting operation, it can be seen that during the unfolding or folding of the container 1 shown in Fig. 1, the formed on the side wall 3 connecting member 14 formed in the wall 4 of the bottom tray 8 corresponding connecting element 15 is inserted accurately. As a result, a fixation of the side wall 3 by the corresponding connecting elements 14, 15 is given in essential to the invention. A fixation of the side wall 3 by a hinge or hinges, which are arranged along the side wall 3, can take place in the edge strips 29. The transition, i. the connecting line between the side wall 3 and the wall 4 of the bottom tray 8 is thus given by the given in Fig. 1 continuous joint lip 12.
Aus Fig. 5, in der aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit lediglich eine der längeren Seitenwände 3 sowie eine Seitenwand der beiden an den Stirnseiten befindlichen Seitenwände 4a gezeigt ist, geht hervor, dass die Eckstege 22 und die Außenfläche 26 der jeweils benachbarten Seitenwand 4a beabstandet zueinander angeordnet sind. Der zu dem Ecksteg 22 der Seitenwand 3 korrespondierende Teil der an der Stirnseite befindlichen Seitenwand 4a weist an seinem Seitenrand Rast- elemente 25 auf, die sich von der Außenfläche 26 der Seitenwand 4a weg erstrecken. Diese von der Außenfläche 26 der Seitenwand 4a versetzt angeordneten Rastelemente 25 greifen im zusammengesetzten Zustand in die in dem Ecksteg 22 befindlichen Durchbrechungen 23 ein. Der Abstand zwischen der Außenfläche 26 der Seitenwand 4a und dem Ecksteg 22 entspricht dabei in etwa der Breite der an der Außenfläche der Seitenwand längs verlaufenden Rippe 10. From Fig. 5, in the sake of clarity, only one of the longer side walls 3 and a side wall of the two located on the end faces side walls 4a is shown, it is apparent that the corner webs 22 and the outer surface 26 of each adjacent side wall 4a spaced from each other are. The corresponding to the corner web 22 of the side wall 3 part of the located on the front side wall 4a has at its side edge latching elements 25 which extend away from the outer surface 26 of the side wall 4a. These staggered from the outer surface 26 of the side wall 4a latching elements 25 engage in the assembled state in the corner web 22 located openings 23 a. The distance between the outer surface 26 of the side wall 4a and the Ecksteg 22 corresponds approximately to the width of the outer surface of the side wall longitudinally extending rib 10th
Auch verdeutlich Fig. 5 noch einmal, dass längs der Verbindungslinie zwischen Seitenwand 3 und Wand 4 der Bodenwanne 8 keine Scharniere ausgebildet sind, sondern die Fugenlippe 12. Also illustrates Fig. 5 again that along the connecting line between the side wall 3 and wall 4 of the bottom tray 8 no hinges are formed, but the joint lip 12th
