EP2992788B1 - Container for sending or receiving a packet or package - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a container for a consignment to be sent or received a parcel or packet according to the preamble of claim 1. A container of this kind is known for example from the patent application CA 2 220 810 A1 , The typical field of application of such containers is that persons often expect to receive parcels or parcels which do not fit into the usual mailboxes arranged on a house or apartment or, more generally, on a real estate.

With a container of the aforementioned type, the person has the opportunity to temporarily arrange a container on the property, specifically in the door area and case by case, for example, when the person expects such a large shipment. A postman or parcel courier thereby has the opportunity to insert a mail not suitable in the mailbox in this container after opening the lid member and thereafter to close the container again. Since the container itself is permanently attached to the property for third parties, there is no possibility, apart from violent action, to unintentionally steal the expected consignment.

For the attachment of such a container, the aforementioned patent application teaches, for example, the use of a tab, z. B. a flexible textile tab which extends away from the container and a thickened area, in particular a thickened end, so that this tab can be passed through a gap area, for example between the door and frame or door and floor, in this case the thickened area of Lasche in the interior of the apartment comes to rest and therefore after closing the door, the tab can not be pulled out of the door area. However, the homeowner can release the tab by opening the door and thereby remove the entire container again.

As described here at the beginning of the possible receipt of parcel or package shipment, of course, there is also the possibility to put packages or parcels or other items in the container and temporarily provide for pickup by a messenger in front of the house or apartment door.

For example, the aforementioned patent application already teaches to make the side walls of such a container extending between the bottom element and the lid element foldable, so as to be able to move the container back and forth between a folded and unfolded state, and so on. B. by the deployment of a large internal volume to be placed in the packages or packets, whereas the folded state is space-saving, since in this state, the volume is significantly reduced.

It is an object of the invention to develop a container of the type mentioned above in such a way that the interior provided for accommodating packages or parcels is ideally adaptable to the typical shapes of such parcels and parcels and further opens up the possibility of a container of this Art from a folded state not only in a fully unfolded, but possibly also bring only in a partially unfolded state, hereinafter hereafter the container after inserting a package or packet occupies a respect to its maximum possible volume smaller volume, which for receiving the current package - or packet shipment just sufficient. In particular, it should be provided here that a container of this type automatically adjusts to the required inner volume size with a defined shape of the side walls.

The object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. In the textile technology and in the description of the present invention, the fold breaking edge is understood to mean the edge formed by a folding of a textile fabric, which results between two fabric surfaces folded around one another and around which the fabric surfaces from the viewing direction have a convex transition of their then facing surfaces ,

In the description of the invention, all directional details continue to refer, unless expressly stated otherwise, to the intended installation of the container with its bottom element on a floor, so that the cover element can be removed from this bottom element in the vertical direction and so the textile tube is completely unfoldable , The indications "inside" and "outside" are then related to the position relative to the surrounding volume of the container. The crease-defining in all sidewalls define a preferred manner in which the textile tube collapses when folded. For this purpose, it is provided that the two side walls of at least one pair of opposing side walls each having a plurality, in particular equidistantly spaced, horizontally extending fold breaks having in the vertical direction alternately successive, outwardly and inwardly facing, preferably stitched pleat break edges.

By such an alternating arrangement of inwardly and outwardly facing pleat break edges, a so-called Liporello folding of the considered two respective opposite side walls is achieved. Preferably, this type of folding can be carried out at least at the two opposing longer, different length side walls of a container according to the invention.

It can thereby be defined that these side walls fold up in a zigzag or accordion-like manner when the cover element is moved towards the base element and as a result the inner volume of the container is reduced. Again, by stitching the pleat breaker edge with a seam running parallel to the pleat breaker edge, it is ensured that the pleat break edges are retained even during prolonged use of the textile tube.

In a completely unfolded state of the container according to the invention, the course of the textile side walls between the respective fold breaks, at least at a distance from the respective fold break such that they enclose substantially around the fold edges an angle both inside and outside of about 180 °. At the moment, however, where the distance between the cover element and the bottom element is reduced, the definition of the position of the fold breakage, ie whether the corresponding edge faces outwards or inwards, causes the textile surface areas arranged around a fold edge to collide inwards or outwards , According to the invention, it is provided in the other two side walls of a second pair of opposing side walls, such as in the short side walls to select a different folding type, namely such that in each case several, in particular equidistant spaced horizontally extending fold breaks, but these each one have outwardly facing preferably stitched fold edge, each of these sidewalls has at least one field, preferably in the vertical direction at least two superimposed fields, each existing field has two intersecting in the field center fold wrinkles each with inwardly facing, preferably stitched fold edge, both also cross the middle of a horizontal fold break.

The intersecting fold breaks with inwardly facing fold edge preferably proceed from a meeting point in which meet a vertical fold breaks with two horizontal fold breaks with outwardly facing fold edges of the two standing at 90 degrees to each other side walls. The extension takes place through said center point to the diagonally opposite meeting point of similar fold breaks as at Ausgangstreffpunkt.

This embodiment also defines the preferred manner of folding in the other two side walls when the lid member and bottom member approach each other.

Especially, by this kind of the above-described folding, it is achieved that each of the above-mentioned existing fields around in around a center arranged, triangular subfields is divided, each triangular subfield adjacent to this triangle with a triangle tip. The center defines here the geometric center of the field as well as the center of a horizontal fold break, in particular one with outwardly facing fold edge.

The above and below a horizontal fold breakage with outboard fold edge or the center arranged triangular subfields will then superimpose on folding and inward moving the center of this fold break or field with their outer sides and at the same time around the fold break on both sides arranged around the outside triangular subfields, one edge of which also runs along a vertical fold break, superimpose with their inner sides facing the container interior. In this case, the outer horizontal fold fracture edge regions move on both sides of the inwardly migrating center toward each other.

In order to obtain a well-defined in the horizontal direction at least substantially rectangular cross-section of the preferably fully unfolded textile tube, it may provide a preferred embodiment of the container that the textile tube has four vertical between bottom element and cover element extending fold breaks, which are the corner regions of the rectangular cross section define, in particular wherein each fold break has a relation to the container interior outwardly facing, preferably stitched fold edge.

In the aforementioned vertically extending fold breaks between bottom element and cover element, the folding is preferably carried out such that the both sides of the fold break extending textile surface portions of the side walls of the textile tube include an inner angle of about 90 ° and an outer angle of about 270 °.

Here, the smaller inner angle faces the container interior. By four in the corner regions of a fold arranged with a horizontal rectangular cross-section thus this horizontal rectangular cross-section is clearly defined. It should be noted that due to the textile, flexible design of the side walls with the horizontal rectangular cross section described here no rectangular horizontal cross section in the mathematical exact sense is claimed, but quite deviations are allowed by the textile flexibility.

Especially by stitching the vertically extending fold breaks through a seam at a distance from the fold edge, it is ensured that the textile tube retains its substantially rectangular horizontal cross-sectional configuration, even if the use of such a container continues for a long time, thus permanently maintaining the fold definition.

In this already advantageous development, which ensures a defined horizontal cross-section, especially in fully unfolded textile hose, however, the problem may still occur that in a fully folded state of the container, that is, when in principle the lid member completely on the folded textile tube and thus indirectly rests on the bottom element, both the position of the lid member and the distance of the lid member from the bottom element is undefined, as when moving the lid member on the bottom element, the way in which the textile tube folds, is uncontrolled.

It is preferably provided that at each height, in which the first pair of side walls has a horizontal fold breakage and the side walls of the second pair have a horizontal fold breakage.

In this case, a preferred development provide that each horizontal fold breakage of an aforementioned field through the center of the intersecting fold breaks and having an outwardly facing fold edge has on the side lying below 90 ° adjacent side wall, at the same height a fold break with the reverse, the is provided with inwardly facing fold edge.

As a result, the folding of the textile tube is maximally defined, so that it can also be ensured that, when the textile tube is folded together, by moving the lid and base element towards one another, always the same manner of folding in the textile tube is achieved, therefore, the lid on the folded tube and the bottom element at maximum folded position always a defined state with circumferentially around the lid member, each equal distance from the bottom element is achieved.

This results in a compact folded container assembly in which a locking between the bottom element and cover element can be provided to stabilize them in their position to each other and so form a folded container unit that can be easily worn by a person in the manner of a suitcase , For example, For this purpose, tabs can be hingedly attached to the bottom element, which can be folded over the surface of the cover element.

An embodiment that can be combined with all the aforementioned embodiments may provide here that the textile walls comprise fire-resistant and / or cut-resistant threads, such as Kevlar threads or multi-layered with at least one layer of Kevlar or even more fully Kevlar. As a result, on the one hand, fire protection regulations are adhered to, which are precisely specified in multi-party residential buildings and, on the other hand, also ensures that the textile hose can not simply be cut to remove the contents of a container according to the invention.

The connection between the textile tube and bottom element or cover element can be made by different preferred embodiments.

When connecting the textile tube at its bottom end, it may be provided, for example, that this bottom end is completely closed with a textile surface and this surface with the bottom element, thus thus for example with a floor arranged parallel to the surface the bottom element is connected, for. B. by screwing, bonding or other fastening measures.

Another alternative embodiment may also provide that the bottom-side hose end forms a circumferentially extending loop into which a frame, for. B. a metallic frame, for example made of aluminum, is inserted, which is connected to the bottom element or a surface of the bottom element, for. B. by screwing or similar measures.

A further alternative embodiment may also provide that the textile tube at its bottom end a piping, preferably each side wall has its own, rectilinearly extending piping, which rests in a frame-shaped connected to the bottom element piping rail.

In the same or similar manner, it can also be provided that the textile tube at its lid-side end forms a circumferentially extending loop, in which a hingedly connected to the lid member frame rests or that at this end at least one piping, preferably each Side wall has its own preferably straight piping, which rests in a frame-shaped, hingedly connected to the cover element piping rail.

Thus, in all these embodiments, the lid member is hinged to the frame or piping or other rigid assembly connected to the lid-side hose end for pivoting the lid member opposite that hose end or member to which the hose end is attached means being able to open and close. In particular, it is furthermore provided to realize a closure mechanism between the cover element, frame, piping rail or the other rigid embodiment, which can only be opened upon authorization.

In this case, for example, closure mechanisms can be provided, which can also be unlocked and locked by communication, as in the aforementioned prior art.

A further preferred embodiment may provide that the bottom element comprises a horizontal base plate in its intended use, with four sidewalls rising vertically therefrom, two of which are parallel, in particular wherein these sidewalls can be designed such that they do not lie in the corner areas connected to each other. If a connection is provided here, form the side walls with the bottom plate a substantially closed shell.

This closed in the corners or open shell may serve to cover in the folded state of the container according to the invention at least the folded textile tube, possibly also a portion of the lid member or the frame connected thereto or the piping rail, wherein further at least two of the above Side walls and a previously mentioned locking mechanism may be provided, for. B. by rigid hingedly attached to the bottom element tabs which can be placed on top of the lid member so as to fix the position of the lid member relative to the bottom element and form a portable unit of the folded container.

A development may also provide that one of the side walls, in particular one of the two opposite long side walls has a greater height than the other side walls, in particular a height that at least substantially the height between the lower surface of the bottom element and the surface of the Cover element in the fully folded state of the textile tube corresponds. Especially this design makes it possible to form this equipped with a larger height side wall as Aufstellfuß to the entire folded container with a vertical orientation of the bottom element or its bottom plate set up, for example, to save the folded container according to the invention before filling with a package to save space in the depth of a door frame in front of a door without the folded container in the room in front of the door frame , such as B. protrudes into a hallway of a multi-party residential building.

This ensures that a container that is still waiting for its filling by a parcel to be delivered or a parcel, other roommates of such a multi-party house does not bother, in particular escape routes are kept.

To form the side wall as Aufstellfuß it may further be provided that on this side wall outside foot elements, for example, are formed of a rubber or other elastomer.

The rigid components of the container according to the invention, in particular so the bottom element and cover element may preferably be made of aluminum or other light metal.

In a preferred embodiment, the cover element can furthermore have a grip element, in particular which extends between the two long sides or alternatively between the two short sides of the cover, forming a sheet projecting from the cover.

Thus, a postman can grasp the container according to the invention and in particular the lid member at its handle, lift the lid member relative to the floor member and then open the lid member to insert the package in the unfolded textile tube of the container. Thereafter, the lid member can be closed and placed under automatic folding of the textile tube on the arranged in the container package or packet.

Especially in order to enable a space-saving execution of secure attachment to a door of a home or a house, the inventive design of the container by means of a tab in the gap region on the door can be fastened. A task according to the invention, which solves the above-mentioned object, can provide that the initially mentioned generic container is further developed by arranging a fastening element, in particular a textile flap with at least one thickening, indirectly on the bottom element via a pivot element articulated on the bottom element. which can be inserted into the gap between a door leaf and the door frame or a door leaf and the floor.

By pivotally disposed between the fastener and the bottom member pivot member is ensured that at the free end of the pivot member which is opposite to the articulated end connected to the bottom member, the fastener may be provided, and so regardless of the installation position of the container according to the invention, ie the installation on the bottom surface of the bottom element or serving as Aufstellfuß side surface of the bottom element always the free end of the pivot member can be arranged close to the door to the fastener arranged thereon, in particular a textile flap in a door gap, either between door gap and frame or door leaf and Floor, to introduce.

Also, there is the possibility that a parcel courier for the delivery of a parcel standing on a side surface standing as a set, set in the depth of the door frame container by 90 °, that can be placed on the bottom surface of the bottom element, wherein the pivoting element about its articulated Fixing point is pivoted on the bottom element and hereafter unfolded the container in the correct manner for filling manner, opened, filled, closed and possibly partially folded again.

A preferred development can provide here that the pivoting element is formed as a U-shaped bracket which is pivotally attached with its leg ends to the bottom element, for example on two opposite side walls extending from the bottom plate at 90 ° to the bottom surface, e.g. on the short sides.

Here, the embodiment provides that this bracket at least partially surrounds the bottom element, in particular a long side of the bottom element completely with its base and the two short sides with his legs at least partially surrounds, wherein further the fastener, such as the textile tab mentioned above, preferred can be arranged displaceably on the bracket.

Thus, for example, this fastener can be moved from the base region of the bracket in a leg region, depending on how the container of the invention is to be positioned on a door frame and where in the door gap, the attachment of the fastener to take place. Furthermore, a helpful design provided beyond also provide that the legs of the bracket are adjustable in length, z. B. are designed telescopic.

The axis of rotation of the articulation of the bracket may in a preferred embodiment on the bottom element, based on the width, be arranged, in particular, the articulation, as mentioned above, on the two opposite side walls, preferably the short side walls, centered to the width, if necessary. Also in the middle be made to their height.

Another embodiment may also provide that the pivoting element is formed of a plurality, preferably at least three individual, articulated arms, which preferably have different lengths and wherein one of the arms connects the ends of two other arms articulated. It arises here especially when this collection of arms with two arm ends is fastened at the same time at a distance at the bottom of the container, a defined forced operation of the opposite of the floor element movable end of this multi-arm arrangement, wherein at such a positively driven end of the fastener, in particular a textile flap can be arranged.

Such, optionally provided in the various aforementioned embodiments textile tab may have at least one thickening. Thus, provided that a plurality of spaced thickenings are provided simultaneously, it is possible to arrange one or more of the several thickenings in the living room and thereby to define the removal of the container to the door.

Unless several thickenings are to be arranged at the same time on such a tab, it may also be provided that a textile flap has a plurality of openings into which a stop element can be inserted, which forms the aforementioned thickening of the tab such that such a stop element not by the Gap area between door and frame or door and floor can be pulled through. Accordingly, it can be arranged at different tab positions in relation to the length of a tab such a stop element.

A preferred embodiment of the invention will be described in the following figures.

The FIG. 1 shows an inventive embodiment of a container of the type described above in a fully folded state at the intended location in front of the door 1 a property, ie in a position in which a bottom element 2 rests with its bottom surface on the floor in front of the door.

It can be seen here that the bottom element has a plurality of side wall areas which are perpendicularly upstanding from the bottom surface or bottom plate, of which the both side wall portions 2a and 2b can be seen and further wherein these two side wall portions are in their corners without connection to each other.

The arranged on the long side of the bottom element 2 side wall 2 b here has a greater height than the other side, in particular a height corresponding to the folded height of the container between the lower surface of the bottom element 2 and the surface of the lid 3. Only the handle 4 jumps in height beyond this height of the side wall 2b.

It can also be seen that the side wall 2b has foot elements 5, so that the folded container can also be placed on this side wall, which then serves as a foot surface, for example, in relation to the side wall FIG. 1 rotated by 90 ° in the depth T of the door frame to be arranged.

The figure further shows that at the two short opposite side walls 2a, which stand up vertically from the bottom surface, a bracket 6 is articulated around a pivot axis A arranged centrally to the width of the bottom element 2.

The bracket 6 thus encompasses a long side of the container completely and the two opposite short sides about halfway. Here, a fastening element 7 is arranged at the base of the bracket 6, which extends through the gap between the door leaf and floor into the housing interior and there has a thickening, so that this fastener 7 can not be pulled through the gap area to the outside, thus the container according to the invention fixed.

Due to the pivoting of the bracket 6 about the axis A there is therefore also the possibility to set up the container according to the invention in the folded state shown here also perpendicular to the position shown on the base 2b, wherein a pivoting of the bracket 6 relative to the bottom element 2 takes place, but this Base of the bracket 6 in essence lying down near the floor, and thus the positioning of the fastener 7 undergoes no change. The container according to the invention can therefore be brought in a locally fixed position in both possible positions.

The FIG. 2 now shows an inventive embodiment of the container, in particular that of FIG. 1 , which results from the fact that the cover element 3 is removed from the bottom element 2 by unfolding the textile tube arranged between these elements.

For this purpose, with reference to the FIG. 1 the tabs 3, the lid member 3 attached to the bottom element removed or folded to the side, so that the cover element is released and can be pulled on the handle 4 in the vertical direction upwards. In this case, the textile, rectangular in horizontal cross-section tube unfolds between the cover element and the bottom element, wherein a particular folding definition is explained in more detail below.

Is recognizable in the FIG. 2 , especially with reference to others FIG. 3 , which shows a sectional view through the long sides in the not yet fully unfolded state, that the here long sides 8 of the textile tube have a plurality of equidistantly spaced apart horizontal fold breaks 9.

In the vertical direction, in these fold breaks 9, the folded fold edge is oriented inwards or outwards in relation to the interior of the container, that is to say, the convex rounded transition of the folded textile surfaces lies alternately inside or outside. In the fold breaks 9a, the fold breaking edge lies outside, in the fold breaks 9b inside.

Furthermore, in the sectional view of FIG. 3 shown that in a preferred embodiment, at a distance from the fold edge each wrinkle fold 9 is stitched with a seam 10. In this case, quilting through the illustrated seam 10 means that the superimposed textile surfaces are sewn together. The embodiment shown here according to the FIG. 3 shows in section further that a textile sidewall, preferably may also be formed two-ply, z. B. from an optical design defining outer layer and a functional inner layer, the z. As fire resistance or cut resistance guaranteed. Optionally, a single textile fabric layer can combine these functions in itself.

On the underside of the textile tube is closed by a textile surface 8a, here with the in FIG. 3 not shown floor element can be connected. The upper side, however, the fabric tube forms a circumferentially circumferential tab 8b, in which a frame 11 of the cover element can einliegen. On this frame, for example, the lid of the lid member is hinged.

By the in FIG. 3 shown folding, which corresponds to a zigzag or Liporello folding, therefore, a defined folding position is achieved during deployment and especially when folding. Hereinafter, the folding at the two lying at 90 degrees to the side walls 8 side walls 11 will be described.

The FIG. 2 also shows in perspective view, the definition of the folds at the short side walls 11 adjacent to the long side walls 8 at 90 °. It can be seen here that in the same height position as in the side walls 8, the side walls 11 extending at 90 ° thereto extend in the horizontal direction Pleat breaks 12 have, in turn, are equidistant and have all the outer pleat break edges, ie the convex curves in which the folded textile surfaces merge into each other outward and are visualized here by a combined dashed and solid line, as well as in the vertically extending, the rectangular horizontal cross-section defining folds 13 is the case.

By means of two such fold breaks 12 and an intermediate further fold break 12 a field is defined in each case which has further fold breaks 14 which intersect each other in the center 12a of a horizontal fold break 12 or of the formed field and respectively originate from the rock faces. These fold breaks 14, which intersect at the center 12a of a horizontal fold break 12, have inwardly facing pleat break edges, which is visualized here by a simple solid line.

Thereby, in each such defined field, of which the FIG. 2 has two superimposed defined six triangular sub-fields D _1-6 , which allow a defined folding, namely such that when folding the center 12 a of such a field, relative to the container inside migrates into the container and the above and also below a triangular faces D _1-3 or D _4-6 lying on the outer sides of one another, thus the outer sides of the triangular surface pairings D ₁ and D ₂ , D ₂ and D ₃ , D ₄ and D ₅ and D ₅ touch and D. ₆ The triangular faces D ₁ and D ₄ , as well as D ₃ and D ₆ lying on both sides of a fold break 12 with the center 12 a, which at the same time have one of their sides coinciding with the vertical fold break 13, lie on one another with their inner sides.

The provision of this type of fold breaks, preferably with stitched pleat break edges, thus clearly defines a predetermined manner as to how the textile tube behaves upon collapsing. So that the same folded state always results reproducibly.

The FIG. 2 visualizes further that the cover element 3 has on its handle 4 an actuating element 15, with which the lid can be unlocked. Such unlocking, for example, at any time before inserting a Parcel done, however, must be released after inserting a package, for example, by sending a telecommunication, z. For example, it may be provided that such a cover element 3 is freigebar or lockable by an application control, with respect to the operability of the actuating element 15th

Of course, it may also be possible to open this classic with a key after closing the cover element.
