Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter mit einem Unterteil und einem Abdeckteil, wobei an dem Abdeckteil ein nach unten ragender Rastabschnitt ausgebildet ist zur Zusammenwirkung mit einem Rast-Eingriffsteil des Unterteils, wobei weiter an dem Rastabschnitt eine entlang dem Unterteil sich erstreckende Rastzunge ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a container having a lower part and a cover, wherein on the cover a downwardly projecting latching portion is formed for cooperation with a latching engagement part of the lower part, wherein further on the latching portion along the lower part extending latching tongue is formed.

Ein derartiger Behälter ist bereits aus der DE 20 2010 005 632 U1 bekannt. Bei dem bekannten Behälter ist an dem Unterteil ein sich laschenartig und mit Abstand zu einer Außenwandung des Unterteils, jedoch hiermit einteilig verbunden erstreckende Lasche ausgebildet, welche einen Rastvorsprung aufweist, der von innen in eine Rastausnehmung der Rastzunge eingreift. Die Lasche erstreckt sich weiter nach unten als die Rastzunge. Zum Entrasten ist die Lasche auf die Behälterwandung hin zu drücken und sodann die Einrastzunge in gleicher Richtung zu bewegen, um eine weitere Rastung, die mit einem die Einrastzunge außen übergreifenden Gegenrastteil des Unterteils zusammenwirkt, auch aus der Gegenrast zu befreien und sodann ist die Abdeckung mit einer weiteren Hand zu ergreifen und nach oben zu ziehen, um das Abdeckteil von dem Unverteil zu entfernen.Such a container is already out of the DE 20 2010 005 632 U1 known. In the known container, a tab-like and spaced from an outer wall of the lower part, but hereby integrally connected extending tab is formed on the lower part, which has a latching projection which engages from the inside into a latching recess of the latching tongue. The tab extends further down than the latching tongue. To unlatch the tab on the container wall to press and then move the latching tongue in the same direction to a further detent, which cooperates with a latching tongue outside cross-latching part of the lower part, also from the counter-latch and then the cover with Another hand to grab and pull up to remove the cover from the Unverteil.

Ein Behälter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus der US4746008 bekannt.
Diese Gestaltung ist handhabungstechnisch noch nicht zufriedenstellend.A container according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US4746008 known.
This design is handling technology not yet satisfactory.

Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit der Aufgabenstellung, einen Behälter anzugeben, dessen Abdeckteil einerseits kindersicher an dem Unterteil gehaltert ist, andererseits aber auch nach Überwindung der Sicherung vorteilhaft von dem Unterteil zu lösen ist.The invention is concerned with the task of specifying a container whose cover is on the one hand child resistant to the lower part is supported, on the other hand, but also after overcoming the fuse to be solved advantageous from the lower part.

Eine mögliche Lösung der Aufgabe ist nach einem ersten Erfindungsgedanken bei einem Gegenstand gegeben, bei dem darauf abgestellt ist, dass die Rastzunge im Verschlusszustand unterhalb des Rast-Eingriffsteils des Behälters sich mit einem unmittelbaren freien Abstand zwischen ihrer Innenseite und einer zugewandten Außenfläche des Unterteils erstreckt.A possible solution of the problem is given according to a first inventive concept in an object in which it is geared to that the latching tongue in the closed state below the latching engagement part of the container extends with an immediate free distance between its inner side and a facing outer surface of the lower part.

Der derart ausgebildete Behälter ermöglicht es, die Rastzunge frei auf die Außenwand des Unterteils hin zu bewegen. Hierdurch kann zugleich die Befreiung aus dem Rast-Eingriffsteil des Unterteils erreicht werden. Da zudem die untere Randkante der Rastzunge somit nicht noch durch ein Teil des Unterteils überdeckt ist, kann durch Druck auf diese Unterseite der Rastzunge weiter auch die Rastzunge in dieser auf die Außenwandung des Unterteils zugedrückten Stellung nach oben bewegt werden, womit die Befreiung aus dem Rast-Eingriffsteil auch in vertikaler Richtung erreicht werden kann und dann einfach das Abdeckteil von dem Unterteil abgenommen werden kann.The thus formed container allows the latching tongue to move freely on the outer wall of the lower part. In this way, at the same time the liberation from the locking engagement part of the lower part can be achieved. In addition, since the lower peripheral edge of the latching tongue is thus not covered by a part of the lower part, by pressing this underside of the latching tongue, the latching tongue can also be moved upwards in this position pressed onto the outer wall of the lower part, whereby the release from the latching Engaging part can also be achieved in the vertical direction and then simply the cover can be removed from the lower part.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind nachstehend, auch in der Figurenbeschreibung und der Zeichnung, oftmals in ihrer bevorzugten Zuordnung zu dem bereits vorstehend erläuterten Konzept beschrieben bzw. dargestell.Further features of the invention are described below, also in the figure description and the drawing, often in their preferred assignment to the already explained above concept dargestell.

An dem Behälter sind zwei gegenüberliegende Einrastzungen ausgebildet, auf welche zur Anhebung des Abdeckteils gleichzeitig im Hinblick auf eine Bewegung der Rastzungen jeweils auf einer Außenfläche des Unterteils hin eingewirkt werden kann. Durch eine solche gleichzeitige Einwirkung, welche bspw. in einfacher Weise mit Daumen und Zeigefinger einer, insbesondere erwachsenen Hand möglich ist, ergibt sich auch eine Keilwirkung der so nach innen, aufeinander zu gedrückten Rastzungen, welche zugleich einen Anhebe-Effekt bzgl. der Abdeckung erreichen lässt. Es kann die Handhabung entsprechend so vorgenommen werden, dass sich gleichsam ein selbsttätiges Hochschieben der Abdeckung bei dieser Eindrückung der Rastzungen ergibt.On the container, two opposing latching tongues are formed, on which can be acted upon at the same time with respect to a movement of the locking tongues on an outer surface of the lower part to raise the cover. By such a simultaneous action, which, for example, in a simple manner with a thumb and forefinger of a particular adult hand is possible, there is also a wedge effect of the so inward, pressed towards each other locking tongues, which at the same time achieve a lifting effect with respect to the cover leaves. It can be made according to the handling so that, as it were an automatic Pushing up the cover at this indentation of the locking tongues results.

Der Behälter weist einen ovalen Querschnitt auf und die Einrastzungen sind den Schmalseiten des Ovals zugeordnete. Hierdurch kann eine besonders günstige Anpassung an die Hand eines Benutzers erreicht werden. Der Ovalquerschnitt ist bevorzugt derart vorgesehen, dass er an die geöffnete, aber nicht weitgespannte, Hand hinsichtlich der Stellung von Daumen und Zeigefinger angepasst ist.The container has an oval cross section and the latching tongues are associated with the narrow sides of the oval. This allows a particularly favorable adaptation to the hand of a user can be achieved. The oval cross section is preferably provided such that it is adapted to the open, but not widely stretched, hand with respect to the position of the thumb and forefinger.

Es ist auch bevorzugt, dass eine Rastzunge zugewandt dem Unterteil mit einer Verstärkungsrippe ausgebildet ist. Dadurch kann die Rastzunge in ihrer vertikalen Erstreckung vergleichsweise steif ausgebildet sein. Eine Bewegung nach innen, um die beschriebene Entrastung zu erreichen, überträgt dann eine entsprechende Spannung in das Abdeckteil, was sich im Hinblick auf das nahezu selbsttätige Hochschieben des Abdeckteils bei eingedrückten Rastzungen förderlich auswirkt.It is also preferred that a latching tongue facing the lower part is formed with a reinforcing rib. As a result, the latching tongue can be made comparatively stiff in its vertical extent. A movement inwardly to achieve the described Entrastung, then transmits a corresponding voltage in the cover, which is beneficial in terms of the almost automatic pushing up of the cover with depressed locking tongues.

Das Rast-Eingriffsteil, das an dem Unterteil ausgebildet ist, ist bandartig, sich quer zu einer Erstreckungsrichtung der Rastzungen erstreckend, gestaltet. Es ist darüber hinaus umgebend zu einer Wandung des Unterteils angeordnet. Jedenfalls über einen gewissen Teil des Umfangs des Unterteils, bezogen auf eine Horizontalebene bei üblichem Aufstellen des Gefäßes, erstreckt sich das bandartige Rast-Eingriffsteil mit seitlichem Abstand zu der Außenwandung des Unterteils. Da zudem das Rast-Eingriffsteil, außerhalb einer Eingriffsöffnung für die Rastzunge, auch durch eine Horizontalwandung an das Unterteil angebunden ist, ergibt sich eine deutliche Verstärkung des Unterteils in diesem Bereich.The latch engagement member formed on the base is band-like, extending transversely to an extension direction of the latching tongues. It is also arranged surrounding a wall of the lower part. In any case, over a certain part of the circumference of the lower part, relative to a horizontal plane in the usual setting up of the vessel, the band-like locking engagement member extends laterally spaced from the outer wall of the lower part. In addition, since the locking engagement part, outside an engagement opening for the latching tongue, is also connected by a horizontal wall to the lower part, there is a significant reinforcement of the lower part in this area.

Der Umfangsbereich, über welchen sich das bandartige Rast-Eingriffsteil bevorzugt erstreckt, ist im Bereich von 15% bis zu 100% des Umfangs des Unterteils in diesem Bereich gegeben.The peripheral region over which the band-like latch engagement member preferably extends is in the range of 15% to 100% of the circumference of the base in this range.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung weiter anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung erläutert, die aber lediglich ein Ausführungsbeispiel darstellt. Hierbei zeigt:

Dargestellt und beschrieben ist zunächst mit Bezug zu Fig. 1 ein Behälter 1, der ein Unterteil 2 und ein Abdeckteil 3 aufweist. Das Abdeckteil 3 weist einen nach unten ragenden Rastabschnitt auf, zur Zusammenwirkung mit einem Rast-Eingriffsteil 4.Shown and described is first with reference to Fig. 1 a container 1, which has a lower part 2 and a cover part 3. The cover part 3 has a downwardly projecting latching section, for cooperation with a latching engagement part 4.

Das Rast-Eingriffsteil 4 ist an dem Unterteil 2 angebunden. Der Rastabschnitt weist weiter zwei entlang dem Unterteil, in Vertikalrichtung, sich erstreckende Rastzungen 5 auf, die sich im Verschlusszustand bis in einen Bereich unterhalb, von außen gesehen entsprechend der Ansicht in Fig.1, des Rast-Eingriffsteils 4 erstreckt. Die Rastzunge 5 hintergreift das Rast-Eingriffsteil 4 und erstreckt sich nach unten darüber hinaus. Insbesondere, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, erstrecken sich die Rastzungen 5 mit einem freien, horizontalen Abstand a zu einer Außenfläche 6 des Unterteils 2. Dieser Abstand a ist insbesondere im Bereich einer unteren Stirnfläche 7 der Rastzungen 45 gegeben.The locking engagement part 4 is connected to the lower part 2. The latching portion further comprises two along the lower part, in the vertical direction, extending latching tongues 5, which in the closed state to a range below, as seen from the outside in accordance with the view in Fig.1 , the latching engagement part 4 extends. The latching tongue 5 engages behind the latching engagement part 4 and extends down beyond that. In particular, how out Fig. 2 can be seen, the locking tongues 5 extend with a free, horizontal distance a to an outer surface 6 of the lower part 2. This distance a is given in particular in the region of a lower end face 7 of the locking tongues 45.

Weiter ist der Abstand a jedenfalls auch im Bereich eines Rasteingriffs 8 zwischen einem Rastvorsprung 9, der auf der Außenseite der Rastzungen 5 augebildet ist, und dem Rast-Eingriffsteil 4 gegeben.In addition, the distance a is in any case also in the region of a latching engagement 8 between a latching projection 9, which is formed on the outside of the latching tongues 5, and the latching engagement part 4.

Die Rastzungen 5 sind gemäß der Querschnittsdarstellung der Figuren 2, 3 ihrer Breite, quer zu ihrer vertikalen Längserstreckung, gekrümmt verlaufend ausgebildet. Der Abstand a ist über die gesamte Breite gegeben. Weiter bevorzugt mit demselben Maß über diese Breite. Das Maß a kann allerdings auch über die Breite unterschiedlich sein, wobei bevorzugt ist, dass es im Bereich des Rast-Hintergriffs am größten ist.The locking tongues 5 are according to the cross-sectional view of FIGS. 2, 3 their width, formed transversely to their vertical longitudinal extent, curved. The distance a is given over the entire width. More preferably with the same amount over this width. However, the dimension a can also be different across the width, wherein it is preferred that it is the largest in the region of the latching rear grip.

Wie aus der strichlinierten Darstellung ersichtlich, ist es so möglich, die Rastzungen durch Einwärtsbiegen gegen die Außenfläche 6 des Unterteils 2 so weit zu bewegen, dass der Rastvorsprung 9 außer Eingriff zu dem Rast-Eingriffsteil 4 kommt.As can be seen from the dash-lined illustration, it is thus possible to move the latching tongues so far by inward bending against the outer surface 6 of the lower part 2 that the latching projection 9 comes out of engagement with the latching engagement part 4.

In weiterer Einzelheit, vgl. insbesondere Fig. 4, weist das Abdeckteil 3 eine Schulter 10 auf, die wie aus der Querschnittsdarstellung der Fig. 4 ersichtlich, durch eine horizontale Umlenkung nach außen der zunächst insoweit gegebenen vertikalen Abdeckteil-Wandung 11 gegeben ist. Innenseitig bildet die Schulter 10 einen Aufsetzbereich 12 aus, der auf einem nach außen kragenden Aufsetzvorsprung 13 des Unterteils 2 aufsitzt.In further detail, cf. especially Fig. 4 , The cover 3 has a shoulder 10, as shown in the cross-sectional view of Fig. 4 can be seen, given by a horizontal deflection to the outside of the initially given so far vertical cover part wall 11. On the inside, the shoulder 10 forms an attachment region 12 which rests on an outwardly projecting attachment projection 13 of the lower part 2.

Der die Schulter insoweit bildende Horizontalabschnitt 14 der Wandung des Abdeckteils 3 geht dann, mit seitlichem Abstand b, zu dem Aufsetz-Vorsprung 13 in eine Vertikalwandung, welche die Rastzunge 5 bildet, über.The shoulder 14 so far forming the horizontal portion of the wall of the cover 3 is then, with lateral distance b, to the attachment projection 13 in a vertical wall which forms the latching tongue 5, over.

Das Rast-Eingriffsteil 4 ist ersichtlich bandartig gestaltet, mit sich in dem Vertikalschnitt gemäß Fig. 4 ergebenden Querschnitt, wobei die Schmalseite des Querschnitts nach vertikal oben und vertikal unten zeigt.The latching engagement member 4 is seen band-like, with in the vertical section according to Fig. 4 resulting cross-section, wherein the narrow side of the cross section after vertical top and bottom vertically shows.

Innenseitig einer Rastzunge 5 ist eine bzw. bevorzugt beim Ausführungsbeispiel zwei Vertikalrippen 15 ausgeformt. Die Vertikalrippen 15 stehen nach innen, zugewandt der Außenfläche 6 des Unterteils 2 vor.On the inside of a latching tongue 5 or preferably two vertical ribs 15 is formed in the embodiment. The vertical ribs 15 project inward, facing the outer surface 6 of the lower part 2.

Der Behälter 1 weist, wie auch aus Fig.1 ersichtlich, insgesamt einen ovalen Querschnitt auf. Die Rastzungen 5 sind den Schmalseiten des Ovals zugeordnet ausgebildet.The container 1 has, as well as off Fig.1 seen, overall an oval cross-section. The locking tongues 5 are formed assigned to the narrow sides of the oval.

Das Rast-Eingriffsteil 4 setzt sich in Umfangsrichtung des Behälters 1, unigebend zu dem Unterteil, in horizontaler Ausrichtung, fort. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel ist es vollständig umlaufend um das Unterteil gebildet. Dies auch über einen Teil des Umfangs mit einem Abstand in derselben Horizontalebene wie in Bezug auf das Einrastteil in Zusammenwirkung mit der Rastzunge 5 beschrieben. Der Abstand ausgehend von dem Zusammenwirkungsbereich des Rast-Eingriffsteils mit jeder der beiden Rastzungen setzt sich in beiden Horizontalrichtungen des Rast-Eingriffsteils abnehmend fort. Dies etwa bis zu einem Maß e bezogen auf einen Querschnitt wie in den Figuren 2, 3 dargestellt, das etwa 1/10 bis ⅓ des freien Querschnittmaßes d, das bezogen auf einen ovalen Querschnitt das größte Querschnittsmaß ist, entspricht. Insgesamt ist so in dieser Ebenen-Bandbreite des Unterteils 2 ein Verstärkungsring um diesen Bereich des Unterteils 2, höhenmäßig im Bereich der Rastzungen 5, gebildet, der für eine erhöhte Stabilität sorgt.The latching engagement part 4 continues in the circumferential direction of the container 1, without reaching the lower part, in a horizontal orientation. In the embodiment, it is formed completely circumferentially around the lower part. This also described over a part of the circumference with a distance in the same horizontal plane as with respect to the latching member in cooperation with the latching tongue 5. The distance starting from the cooperation region of the latching engagement part with each of the two latching tongues continues decreasing in both horizontal directions of the latching engagement part. This approximately up to a measure e based on a cross section as in the FIGS. 2, 3 represented, which corresponds to about 1/10 to ⅓ of the free cross-sectional dimension d, which is the largest cross-sectional dimension in relation to an oval cross-section. Overall, in this plane bandwidth of the lower part 2, a reinforcing ring around this area of the lower part 2, in terms of height formed in the region of the locking tongues 5, which ensures increased stability.
