Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter, insbesondere Palettenbehälter, der einen Boden, Seitenwände und einen auf die Seitenwände aufsetzbaren Deckel aufweist, wobei an dem Deckel ein Mittel zur Befestigung des Deckels an zumindest einer der Seitenwände vorgesehen ist, in der zumindest einen Seitenwand eine Aussparung gebildet ist, mit der das Befestigungsmittel zusammenwirkt, der Deckel auf seiner Innenseite einen U-förmigen Abschnitt aufweist, der, wenn der Deckel auf die Seitenwände aufgesetzt ist, lediglich einen dem Deckel zugewandten, an einen Rand der Seitenwand angrenzenden Randabschnitt der Seitenwand übergreift und das Befestigungsmittel auf der Innenseite des U-förmigen Abschnitts gebildet ist.The invention relates to a container, in particular a pallet container, which has a bottom, side walls and a lid which can be placed on the side walls, wherein on the lid a means for fastening the lid to at least one of the side walls is provided, in which at least one side wall is formed a recess , cooperates with the fastening means, the lid has on its inside a U-shaped portion which, when the lid is placed on the side walls, only one of the lid facing, adjacent to an edge of the side wall edge portion of the side wall engages over the fastener and on the inside of the U-shaped section is formed.

Ein solcher Behälter geht aus der DE 103 11 593 A1 hervor. An Seitenwänden des Behälters sind Durchbrüche gebildet, in die an der Deckelinnenseite gebildete Rastnasen unter Arretierung des Deckels an den Seitenwänden einrasten, wenn der Deckel auf die Seitenwände aufgesetzt wird.Such a container goes out of the DE 103 11 593 A1 out. On side walls of the container breakthroughs are formed, engage in the locking lugs formed on the inside of the lid locking the lid on the side walls when the lid is placed on the side walls.

Ein aus CH 550 103 A bekannter Behälter weist einen Deckel auf, der mit einem Kragen zum Verschließen des Behälters außen über Seitenwände des Behälters gestülpt wird. Auf der Innenseite des Kragens sind Nocken gebildet, die zum Befestigen des Deckels an der Seitenwand in Vertiefungen eingreifen, die auf der Außenseite der Seitenwand gebildet sind.On off CH 550 103 A known container has a lid which is slipped with a collar for closing the container on the outside over side walls of the container. On the inside of the collar cams are formed, which engage for securing the lid to the side wall in recesses formed on the outside of the side wall.

Ein aus EP 2 256 050 A bekannter Behälter umfasst zusammenlegbare Seitenwände sowie einen mit einer der Seitenwände verbundenen, verschwenkbar gelagerten Deckel.On off EP 2 256 050 A known container comprises collapsible side walls and one connected to one of the side walls, pivotally mounted lid.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der besser gegen Eindringen von Flüssigkeit ins Behälterinnere geschützt ist.The invention has for its object to provide a container of the type mentioned, which is better protected against ingress of liquid into the container interior.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Aussparung durch eine Mulde gebildet ist und die eine Seitenwand im Bereich der Mulde geschlossen ist, dass die Seitenwände an ihren senkrechten Behälterkanten verbunden und zusammenfaltbar sind und zusammengefaltet auf den Boden und unter den Deckel passen, so dass eine geschlossene Packung entsteht, der Behälter im aufgestellten Zustand quaderförmig ist und dass zumindest zwei gegenüberliegende der Seitenwände jeweils in ihrer Mitte mit einer zu den senkrechten Behälterkanten parallelen Faltlinie versehen sind.According to the invention this object is achieved in that the recess is formed by a trough and a side wall is closed in the trough, that the side walls are connected and collapsible at their vertical container edges and folds on the floor and fit under the lid, so that a closed package is formed, the container is cuboid in the erected state and that at least two opposite of the side walls are each provided in their middle with a fold line parallel to the vertical container edges.

Vorteilhaft kann die Mulde einen ausreichend starken Gegenhalter für das Befestigungselement bilden und vermeidet im Gegensatz von den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Durchbrüchen, dass Flüssigkeit durch die Aussparung hindurch von außen in den Behälterinnenraum dringen kann. Der Behälterinnenraum ist damit, insbesondere wenn die Seitenwand im Bereich der Mulde vollkommen geschlossen ist, besser nach außen geschützt.Advantageously, the trough can form a sufficiently strong counterholder for the fastening element and avoids, in contrast to the known from the prior art breakthroughs that liquid can penetrate through the recess from the outside into the container interior. The container interior is therefore better protected, especially if the side wall is completely closed in the region of the trough.

Die Mulde ist je nachdem, von welcher Seite aus das Befestigungsmittel an der Seitenwand angreift, an der Innenseite oder an der Außenseite der Seitenwand angeordnet. Greift das Befestigungsmittel von beiden Seiten an, ist die Mulde beidseitig vorgesehen.The trough is arranged on the inside or on the outside of the side wall, depending on which side of the fastening means engages the side wall. If the fastener engages from both sides, the recess is provided on both sides.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Befestigungsmittel zur Befestigung des Deckels an der Seitenwand unter Eingriff in die Aussparung vorgesehen. Das Befestigungsmittel umfasst dazu zweckmäßigerweise eine zum Eingreifen in die Aussparung vorgesehene Raste und/oder ist durch einen zum Eingreifen in die Aussparung vorgesehenen Haken gebildet.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the fastening means for fastening the lid to the side wall is provided under engagement in the recess. The fastening means expediently comprises a detent provided for engagement in the recess and / or is formed by a hook provided for engagement in the recess.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen und der beiliegenden, sich auf diese Ausführungsbeispiele beziehenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

einen erfindungsgemäßen Behälter,
Fig. 2
einen Teil des Behälters nach Fig. 1 im Schnitt, und
Fig. 3
eine weitere Ausführungsform des Behälters nach Fig. 1 in der Ansicht nach Fig. 2.
The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments and the accompanying drawings relating to these embodiments. Show it:
Fig. 1
a container according to the invention,
Fig. 2
a part of the container after Fig. 1 on average, and
Fig. 3
a further embodiment of the container according to Fig. 1 in the view Fig. 2 ,

Ein in Fig. 1 gezeigter erfindungsgemäßer Behälter 1 weist einen Boden 2, Seitenwände 3a - 3d und einen Deckel 4 auf.
Der Boden 2 besteht aus einem Kunststoffformteil und hat an seinen vier Ecken Füße, die als Vertiefungen des Bodens 2 geformt sind und zwischen denen Platz für einen Eingriff einer Hubgabel eines Gabelstaplers ist. Die Seitenwände 3a - 3d bestehen aus einem nach Art von Wellpappe aufgebauten Kunststoffmaterial und sind in ihren senkrechten Kanten 11 derart verschweißt, dass sie dort gefaltet werden könne. Ferner sind die kürzeren Seitenwände 3b,3c in ihrer Mitte mit einer zu den Kanten 11 parallelen und ebenfalls geschweißten Faltlinie 12 versehen.
An in Fig. 1 shown inventive container 1 has a bottom 2, side walls 3a - 3d and a lid 4.
The bottom 2 consists of a plastic molded part and has at its four corners feet, which are formed as depressions of the bottom 2 and between which there is room for engagement of a lifting fork of a forklift. The side walls 3a-3d consist of a plastic material constructed in the manner of corrugated cardboard and are welded in their vertical edges 11 in such a way that they can be folded there. Further, the shorter side walls 3b, 3c are provided at their center with a fold line 12 parallel to the edges 11 and also welded.

Die Seitenwände 3a bis 3d sind mit näher in Fig. 2 gezeigten Aussparungen 6 versehen, in die an den Deckel 4 vorgesehene Rastnasen 9 eingreifen. Die Rastnasen 9 sind auf der Innenseite eines U-förmigen Abschnitts 14 des Deckels gebildet, der einen dem Deckel 4 zugewandten Randabschnitt 15 der Seitenwand 3a übergreift und stehen von der Innenseite des Deckels 4 vor. Die Rastnasen 9 sind an einem durch eine Plastikformteil gebildeten Rastelement 5 gebildet, das an der Innenseite des Deckels 4 befestigt ist. Es versteht sich, dass das Rastelement 5 auch einteilig mit dem Deckel 4 gebildet sein könnte.The side walls 3a to 3d are closer in Fig. 2 provided recesses 6, in which provided on the lid 4 locking lugs 9 engage. The locking lugs 9 are formed on the inside of a U-shaped portion 14 of the lid, which engages over a cover 4 facing the edge portion 15 of the side wall 3 a and project from the inside of the lid 4. The latching lugs 9 are formed on a latching element 5 formed by a plastic molded part, which is fixed to the inside of the lid 4. It is understood that the locking element 5 could also be formed integrally with the cover 4.

Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, ist die Seitenwand 3a im Bereich der Mulde 6 geschlossen, sodass keine Flüssigkeit von einer Außenseite 8 der Seitenwand ins Innere des Behälters 1 dringen kann. In gleicher Weise sind auch die anderen Seitenwände 3b bis 3 d ausgebildet.As Fig. 2 shows, the side wall 3a is closed in the region of the trough 6, so that no liquid from an outer side 8 of the side wall can penetrate into the interior of the container 1. In the same way, the other side walls 3b to 3 d are formed.

Bei einem in Fig. 3 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist sowohl auf einer Außenseite 8a als auch auf einer Innenseite 7a einer Seitenwand 3a' eines Behälters je eine Mulde 6a,6b gebildet. Ein Deckel 4a ist auf seiner Innenseite mit zwei Rastnasen 9a, 10 versehen, die von verschiedenen Seiten der Seitenwand 3a' in die Mulden 6a,6b vorstehen und den Deckel 4a an der Seitenwand 3a'arretieren. Auch bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Seitenwand 3a' im Bereich der Mulden 6a,6b geschlossen, sodass ein Innenraum des Behälters vor Eindringen von Flüssigkeiten von außen im Bereich der Mulden 6a,6b vermieden wird.At an in Fig. 3 As shown, a trough 6a, 6b is formed both on an outer side 8a and on an inner side 7a of a side wall 3a 'of a container. A lid 4a is provided on its inside with two locking lugs 9a, 10 which protrude from different sides of the side wall 3a 'into the troughs 6a, 6b and lock the lid 4a on the side wall 3a'. Also in this embodiment, the side wall 3a 'in the region of the wells 6a, 6b closed, so that an interior of the container is prevented from ingress of liquids from the outside in the region of the wells 6a, 6b.
