Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1, in particular to a container which is nestable in identical containers and can be stacked on containers of the same and / or different design.
  • a corresponding container system with at least two types of containers is also the subject of the invention.
  • EP 1 009 671 B1 a container system with at least two containers of different design, which have the same size in plan view.
  • the container system has stacking means which allow the container of a first type to support the container according to a second type when the container of the second type is stacked on the container of the first type.
  • the problem with the container system according to EP 1 009 671 B1 is that on the one hand it has only movable means preferably on a lower container to support an upper container, and on the other hand, it has only means for stacking containers of the same plan.
  • the publication EP 0 671 335 B1 also describes a container system with containers of two different types, wherein a container according to a first type has a relatively large base area and have a plurality of containers according to a second type correspondingly smaller base areas. Both the container according to the first type and the container according to the second type are preferably nestable or stackable by means of pivotable stacking bar selectively in each container of the same design. Further, the smaller containers are formed so that they can be brought into juxtaposition to be stackable on the larger container of the first type.
  • the inward swiveling stacking stirrups should therefore not be overly prone protrude far into the container interior.
  • the bottom container's bottom width may be smaller than the distance between the stacker stirrups of the smaller containers and the big container thus not on the Stacking straps of smaller containers can be stacked. Reducing the pitch necessary for nesting of the sidewalls of the large container would increase the overall height of two large containers nestled into each other.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a container which can be stacked on smaller containers without placing great demands on the shaping of the smaller containers.
  • An inventive container has a substantially rectangular bottom, two opposite, preferably short, first side walls and two opposite, preferably long, second side walls.
  • the first and second sidewalls extend upwardly from the bottom, are interconnected and together form a wall which defines a container opening above the bottom.
  • the border widens continuously towards the container opening and / or stepwise, so that the container is nestable in a container of identical construction.
  • two stacking bars or stirrups extending substantially parallel to the first side walls are movably attached to upper edge regions of the second side walls.
  • the stacking bars release the container opening to nest the container in a container of the same type, and in a stacking or supporting position, the stacking bars are at least partially over the container opening so that the container is stackable on the stacking bar of a container of the same type.
  • the two stacking bars can preferably be arranged on the container in such a way that they limit the longitudinal extent of the substantially rectangular container opening in their supporting position.
  • the two stacking beams may preferably be substantially straight, have a round cross-section or cross-section in the form of a polygon with rounded corners, and be connected at their ends to pivoting levers.
  • the two pivoting levers of a stacking bar can in particular run parallel to one another and perpendicular to the corresponding stacking bar and together with the stacking bar form a U-shaped stacking bar.
  • Each of the two stacking brackets may preferably be pivotally mounted on the container according to the invention, so that the stacking bar is always parallel to the first side walls and the associated pivot lever are always parallel to the second side walls.
  • each of the two stacking stirrups may be attached to the container according to the invention, in particular, such that the stacking bar rests on an upper edge of the corresponding first side wall when the stacking bar is in the nesting position and in that the pivoting levers are in both the nesting position and supported in the stacking position of the stacking bar on corresponding portions of upper edges of the respective second side walls.
  • the second side walls each have two bulges (outwards), which are each groove-shaped from the bottom to the upper edge of the corresponding second side wall, i. in a plane perpendicular to the ground, extend. To ensure the nestability of the container, they widen in the direction of the container opening.
  • each of the second side walls has the two lobes in its two end regions adjacent to the first side walls, and thus each lobe may be located in the vicinity of the corresponding nearest first side wall.
  • Each bulge points Preferably, a floor plan in the form of an arc, however, in general, the floor plan may also have a curved or angled shape.
  • the, preferably single-walled, side wall is shaped outwards. The bulges are formed such that the interior of the container bounded by the walling extends locally outwards at the bulges than in the remaining areas of the walling.
  • a container according to the invention with a substantially rectangular plan of two, preferably long, second side walls, a total of four, columnar or semicircular, bead-shaped bulges, which taper towards the bottom.
  • the transverse dimensions or the span of the container is increased in the region of the bulges. This means that the dimensions (width or length) of the bottom side are correspondingly larger at these points.
  • the lobes are arranged in the immediate vicinity of the portions of the second side walls on which the stacking bar or the respective pivot levers are supported when the stacking bar is in its stacking position.
  • a first advantage of a container according to the invention is that the extent of the base of the container can be locally increased without increasing the tendency of the wall to be turned over or having to provide special stacking feet with the corresponding disadvantages or to limit the nestability of the container.
  • the bulges are not separate structures, but are formed in the side wall set to the outside and extend over the entire height, the bulges are even outwardly hindered and thus not obstructing the nesting of two identical containers, since the container also in the Bulges can be put together.
  • the bulges increase the structural stability of the container because the bulges increase the ratio between the length of the wall and the interior framed by the wall becomes. A load applied perpendicularly from the top to the wall is thus distributed over a longer wall as compared to a wall without bulges. Also, the moment of resistance of the wall is increased by the bulges.
  • the bulges act as reinforcement geometries, such as beads.
  • a sea edge at the upper edge of the wall, on the outside, a sea edge can be provided, which encloses the bulges. If a container according to the invention with nestrand is nested in a container of identical construction, a bottom side of the upper edge of the upper container facing the bottom is supported on an upper side of the lower edge of the lower container facing away from the bottom. In general, a press fit and thus a tilting of two conversions of two nested, identically constructed containers is prevented by the sea beach.

  • the containers according to the second type each have a substantially rectangular bottom, two opposite, preferably short, first Side walls and two opposite, preferably long, second side walls.
  • the first side walls and the second side walls extend upwardly from the bottom, are interconnected and together form a wall which defines a container opening above the bottom.
