Beschreibung der ErfindungDescription of the invention

Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Behälter für Waren zu schaffen, der über eine Vorrichtung zur Unterteilung verfügt, die sowohl eine stabile Einteilung gewährleistet als auch einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar ist. Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Behälter nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Zudem ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Trennwand zu schaffen zum Einbau in einen Behälter zwecks Unterteilung dessen Innenraums.It is the object of the present invention to provide a container for goods, which has a device for subdivision, which ensures both a stable classification and is easy and inexpensive to produce. This object is achieved by a container according to claim 1. In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a partition for installation in a container for the purpose of subdividing its interior.

Die Vorrichtung zur Unterteilung des Innenraums eines Behälters gewährleistet durch die Hinterschneidung der Nut und der entsprechend zwecks Formschluss geformten Stirnseite der Trennwand eine genügend starke Verbindung der Trennwand mit der Behälterwand und Stützung der Trennwand, obwohl die Nut über eine reduzierte Länge über einen Teil der Höhe der Seitenwand des Behälters besteht.
Ein Behälter mit der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung zur Unterteilung ist einfach und daher kostengünstig herstellbar, da er lediglich zwei unterschiedliche Teile erfordert, den Behälter mit der Nut und die Trennwand mit der geformten Stirnseite, die beide durch ein Spritzgussverfahren herstellbar sind. Es entfallen dabei kleine zusätzliche Einzelteile als Übergangsteile zur Befestigung der Trennwand an der Behälterwand wie sie im Stand der Technik beschrieben sind. Indem nur zwei Teile zu vereinen sind, ist auch ein schnelles und effizientes Einsetzen und wieder Herausnehmen ermöglicht. Zudem sind für den Einsatz und Lösen der Trennwände keine Werkzeuge notwendig.
Ein Behälter mit der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung ist insbesondere einfach und zuverlässig reinigbar, da die Nut nur über einen Teil der Höhe der Behälterwand sich erstreckt und auf einer Teilhöhe oberhalb des Behälterbodens endet. Schmutz und Wasser können ohne Rückstände aus der Nut entfernt werden.
Der erfindungsgemässe Behälter ist sowohl mit als auch ohne Trennwände verwendbar, wobei bei Verwendung ohne Trennwände keine Elemente vorstehen, an denen Ware hängen bleiben oder eine Verpackungsperson sich verletzen könnte.
Durch das Fehlen von vorstehenden Elementen ist zudem bei einer Verwendung ohne Trennwände das Innenvolumen des Behälters optimiert.The device for dividing the interior of a container ensured by the undercut of the groove and the correspondingly form-fitting shaped end face of the partition a sufficiently strong connection of the partition with the container wall and support the partition, although the groove over a reduced length over part of the height of the Sidewall of the container consists.
A container with the inventive device for subdivision is simple and therefore inexpensive to produce, since it only requires two different parts, the container with the groove and the partition with the shaped end face, both of which can be produced by an injection molding process. It accounts for small additional items as transition parts for attachment of the partition wall to the container wall as described in the prior art. By combining only two parts, a quick and efficient insertion and removal is possible. In addition, no tools are necessary for the use and release of the partitions.
A container with the inventive device is particularly easy and reliable cleanable, since the groove extends over only a portion of the height of the container wall and ends at a partial height above the container bottom. Dirt and water can be removed from the groove without residue.
The container according to the invention can be used both with and without dividing walls, wherein, when used without partitions, no elements protrude from which goods get caught or a packaging person could get injured.
Due to the absence of protruding elements, the inner volume of the container is also optimized for use without partitions.

Gemäss der Erfindung weist ein viereckiger Behälter an gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden je eine Nut mit einer zweiseitigen, symmetrischen Hinterschneidung auf und eine Trennwand, deren beide Stirnseiten eine zweiseitig vorstehende, symmetrische Form besitzen, die formschlüssig in die Nut einführbar ist. Die zweiseitig und symmetrisch ausgebildete Nut und Stirnseite der Trennwand erlaubt eine vereinfachte Herstellung und ein einfaches Einsetzen der Trennwand, da die Trennwand ungeachtet ihrer Orientierung eingesetzt werden kann. Gemäss der Erfindung ist die Nut in einem ersten, oberen Bereich angrenzend der Oberkante der Seitenwand des Behälters und einen zweiten, unteren Bereich, der im Vergleich zum ersten Bereich tiefer liegt und sich vom ersten Bereich in Richtung Behälterboden erstreckt. Der erste, obere Bereich der Nut ist mit einem rechteckigen Querschnitt und ohne Hinterschneidung und der zweite, untere Bereich mit einer Hinterschneidung ausgebildet. Vorzugsweise ist der Übergang vom ersten zum zweiten Bereich entlang der Länge der Nut mit einer schräg verlaufenden Wandung ausgebildet, sodass der Übergang allmählich verläuft. Diese Ausführung vereinfacht das Einführen der Trennwandstirnseiten in die Nut, ohne dass die Trennwand genauestens in die Nut mit Hinterschneidung eingepasst werden muss. Stattdessen kann die Trennwand zunächst in den ersten Bereich der Nut eingesetzt werden und dann nach unten gestossen werden, wobei sie durch die schräg verlaufenden Wandungen in den zweiten Bereich der Nut mit Hinterschneidung geführt wird.
Gemäss der Erfindung der Behälter verbindet ein gerades Element (11) in Verlängerung der Trennwand (5) die Stirnseite (6) der Trennwand (5) mit der schwalbenschwanz-förmigen Kontur (8).
Gemäss der Erfindung weisen zudem die Stirnseiten der Trennwand ein Element auf, wodurch die Breite der Stirnseite grösser ist als die Dicke der Trennwand, wobei das Element nach Einführung der Trennwand in Nuten des Behälters an den Seitenwänden des Behälters anliegt.According to the invention, a quadrangular container on opposite side walls each have a groove with a two-sided, symmetrical undercut and a partition whose two end faces have a bilaterally projecting, symmetrical shape, which is positively inserted into the groove. The two-sided and symmetrical groove and front side of the partition allows a simplified production and a simple insertion of the partition, since the partition can be used regardless of their orientation. According to the invention, the groove is in a first, upper region adjacent to the upper edge of the side wall of the container and a second, lower region, which is lower compared to the first region and extends from the first region in the direction of the container bottom. The first, upper region of the groove is formed with a rectangular cross-section and without undercut and the second, lower region with an undercut. Preferably, the transition from the first to the second region along the length of the groove is formed with a sloping wall, so that the transition is gradual. This embodiment simplifies the insertion of the dividing wall end faces into the groove, without the dividing wall having to be precisely fitted into the groove with an undercut. Instead, the dividing wall can first be inserted into the first region of the groove and then pushed down, being guided by the inclined walls into the second region of the groove with an undercut.
According to the invention, the container connects a straight element (11) in extension of the partition wall (5) the end face (6) of the partition wall (5) with the dovetail-shaped contour (8).
According to the invention also have the end faces of the partition to an element, whereby the width of the end face is greater than the thickness of the partition, wherein the element rests after insertion of the partition in grooves of the container on the side walls of the container.

In einer Ausführung weist der Behälter am Boden an der zum Innenraum weisenden Oberfläche in einem Bereich direkt untere der Nut jeweils eine Vertiefung auf. Zudem weist die Trennwand an ihrer unteren Kante einen Fortsatz auf, der entsprechend der Vertiefung geformt ist und entsprechend der Position der Vertiefung im Behälterboden von der Stirnseite der Trennwand beabstandet ist. Durch diese Positionierung ist der Fortsatz beim Einführen der Trennwand in den Behälter in die Vertiefung formschlüssig einsetzbar.In one embodiment, the container at the bottom of the interior facing surface in a region directly below the groove in each case a depression. In addition, the partition at its lower edge on an extension which is shaped according to the recess and spaced according to the position of the recess in the container bottom of the end face of the partition. As a result of this positioning, the extension can be inserted in a form-fitting manner into the recess when the dividing wall is inserted into the container.

In einer weiteren Ausführung weist jede Nut an ihrer Grundfläche eine Vertiefung oder eine Öffnung auf, wobei jede Stirnseite der Trennwand einen gerundet ausgebildeten Fortsatz auf einer Höhe aufweist, der bei Einführung der Trennwand in die Nut und bei Anschlag der Trennwand auf dem Behälterboden in die besagte Öffnung oder Vertiefung zu liegen kommt. Dies ermöglicht ein Einrasten der Trennwand in der Seitenwand des Behälters und verhindert, dass eine Trennwand aus dem Behälter herausfällt sollte der Behälter umgedreht werden. Jedoch erlaubt die gerundete Form des Fortsatzes ein Entfernen der Trennwand aus der Nut bei Ausübung leichter manueller Kraft.In a further embodiment, each groove has at its base a recess or an opening, wherein each end face of the partition has a rounded extension at a height which when inserting the partition into the groove and at the stop of the partition on the container bottom in the said Opening or depression comes to rest. This allows snapping the partition in the side wall of the container and prevents a partition from falling out of the container should the container be turned over. However, the rounded shape of the extension allows the partition to be removed from the groove while applying light manual force.

In einer weiteren Ausführung weisen die Trennwände jeweils einen oder mehrere Schlitze auf, die sich von deren Unterkante oder Oberkante her über einen Teil ihrer Höhe erstrecken. Dies erlaubt ein gekreuztes Ineinanderstecken von senkrecht zueinander stehenden Trennwänden und ein Einteilen des Behälters in kleinere Teilbereiche.In a further embodiment, the partitions each have one or more slots extending from the lower edge or upper edge over part of their height. This allows a crossed nesting of partitions perpendicular to each other and dividing the container into smaller sections.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a container 1 with a bottom 2 and surrounding side walls 3. According to the invention, the side walls 3 at their upper edges 3 'grooves 4, which are arranged in pairs in opposite side walls 3. The grooves 4 extend from the upper edge 3 'toward the bottom 2, but only over part of the height of the side wall 3, for example over a quarter of the height. In the embodiment shown two mutually perpendicular partitions 5 are fixed to the side walls 3 by their lateral end faces 6 are inserted into the grooves 4. The partitions 5 each have slots 7, which extend over part of the height of the partitions and by means of which the two mutually perpendicular partitions 5 are inserted into each other. The partitions 5 can be positioned arbitrarily and in any number according to the grooves and slots in the container. At the bottom 2 of the container recesses 20 are arranged, which are each removed from the lower edge of a side wall 3, but are positioned directly below a groove 4.
FIG. 3 shows an example of a partition wall 5 according to the invention, on the two lateral end faces 6 of which a protruding contour 8 is arranged which extends from its upper edge 6 'in the direction of the lower edge 6 ", but only over part of the height of the partition wall Contour 8 is at most the height of a groove 4 on the side wall 3 of the container first
At the lower edge 6 "of the partition 5, a protruding extension 9 is arranged in the vicinity of the two end faces 6, which extends away from the lower edge 6".
FIG. 4 shows in more detail the end face 6 of a partition wall 5, in particular the projecting contour 8 on the front side 6 and the extension 9 on the lower edge 6 " a side wall 3 fits, as in FIG. 8 is shown. The front side 6 is also slightly wider compared to the thickness of the side wall by an element 12.
FIGS. 7 and 9 It is formed symmetrically by having on both sides of a center line M parallel to the upper edge 5 'each have a projecting, dovetail-shaped contour 8'. In addition, the contour 8 has a straight element 11, which connects the end face 6 and the dovetail-shaped contour 8 'as an extension of the dividing wall 5'. For the purpose of reinforcing the element 11, this element is ribbed, for example. The end face 6 also has elements 12, so that they compared to the thickness d of the partition. 5 widened is formed. The front side 6 of the partition is also conceivable and executable without the elements 12.
FIG. 5 shows a groove 4 in a side wall 3 of the container FIG. 2 and the introduced therein partition 5 with protruding contour 8 on the front side 6. This is positively inserted in the groove 4, wherein the end face abut with lateral elements 12 on the side wall 3. The lateral elements 12 extend over the entire length of the end face 6 of the partition 5. In the figure, the first, upper and the second, lower portion of the groove are clearly visible. The upper, the upper edge 3 'adjacent region has a rectangular shape with straight, perpendicular to the side wall 3 extending side walls 18. From the side walls 18 extend obliquely downwardly extending walls 17 which form the transition from the upper region to the lower region of the groove 4 , The lower portion of the groove has a narrow opening into which the element 11 of the contour 8 in accordance FIG. 6 fits.

Figur 6 zeigt die Nut 4 ohne eingeführte Trennwand, um die Form der Nut besser zu erkennen. Zudem ist in der Figur 6 die im Boden 2 angeordnete Vertiefung 20 gezeigt, die direkt unter der Nut 4 im Boden und beabstandet von der Unterkante der Seitenwand sich befindet. Wird eine Trennwand 5 in die Nut 4 eingeführt und nach unten bis auf den Boden 2 des Behälters gestossen, so lässt sich der Fortsatz 9 an der Unterkante 6" der Trennwand 5 in die Vertiefung 20 einrasten. Dies festigt zusätzlich die Position und Form der Trennwand im Behälter und verhindert ein seitliches Biegen der Trennwand.
Figur 6 zeigt den oberen Bereich der Nut nahe der Oberkante 3', der rechteckig mit senkrecht zur Seitenwand 3 verlaufenden Seitenwänden 18 ausgebildet ist. Von der Rechteckform der Nut verläuft eine schräg nach unten führende Seitenwand 17 zu einem schmaler ausgebildeten Bereich 19 der Nut, dessen Breite der Breite des Elementes 11 in Figur 7 entspricht. Dies ist auch in den Figuren 5 und 8 dargestellt, gemäss denen die Nut 4 im oberen Bereich nahe der Oberkante 3' eine rechteckige Form 18 aufweist. Die Rechteckform 18 dient dem einfacheren Einführen der Kontur 8 der Trennwand in die Nut 4, sodass die gleichzeitige formschlüssige Vereinigung der Konturen 8 an den beiden Stirnseiten 6 einer Trennwand 5 in die Nuten 4 von gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden 3 einfacher zu erreichen ist. Figur 6 zeigt zudem den unteren Bereich der Nut 4 mit Seitenwänden 15, die in einem Winkel zur Seitenwand 3 verlaufen und der Schwalbenschwanz-Form der Kontur 8 an der Trennwand 5 entsprechen. Die Seitenwände 15 im unteren Bereich der Nut befinden sich also nicht direkt an der Oberkante 3' der Seitenwand sondern erst eine kurze Strecke unter der Oberkante 3'.
Die Seitenwände 15 bilden im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel die zweiseitige Hinterschneidung der Nut, die in diesem Fall nur im unteren Bereich vorhanden ist.
In weiteren möglichen Ausführungen können sich die Seitenwände 15 auch übe die gesamte Länge der Nut erstrecken, d.h. bis zur Oberkante 3' der Seitenwand 3. In einem solchen Fall weist die Nut keinen oberen, rechteckigen Bereich wie in den Figuren gezeigt auf.
In einer weiteren möglichen Ausführung kann die Seitenwand 15 auch nur einseitig vorhanden sein, wobei die Kontur an der Stirnseite der Trennwand entsprechend gebildet sein muss.
In einer weiteren möglichen Ausführung kann die Seitenwand 15 auch parallel zur Seitenwand 3 verlaufen statt in einem Winkel. In einem solchen Fall wäre die Hinterschneidung T-förmig gebildet. Auch in diesen Fällen kann die Hinterschneidung über den unteren Bereich oder über die gesamte Länge der Nut gebildet sein. FIG. 6 shows the groove 4 without inserted partition to better recognize the shape of the groove. Moreover, in the FIG. 6 shown disposed in the bottom 2 recess 20 which is located directly below the groove 4 in the bottom and spaced from the lower edge of the side wall. If a dividing wall 5 is inserted into the groove 4 and pushed down to the bottom 2 of the container, the projection 9 can be latched into the recess 20 at the lower edge 6 "of the dividing wall 5. This additionally strengthens the position and shape of the dividing wall in the container and prevents lateral bending of the partition.
FIG. 6 shows the upper portion of the groove near the upper edge 3 ', which is rectangular with perpendicular to the side wall 3 extending side walls 18 is formed. From the rectangular shape of the groove extending obliquely downwardly extending side wall 17 to a narrower portion 19 of the groove whose width of the width of the element 11 in FIG. 7 equivalent. This is also in the Figures 5 and 8th shown, according to which the groove 4 in the upper region near the upper edge 3 'has a rectangular shape 18. The rectangular shape 18 is used for easier insertion of the contour 8 of the partition in the groove 4, so that the simultaneous positive connection of the contours 8 at the two end faces 6 a partition 5 in the grooves 4 of opposite side walls 3 is easier to reach. FIG. 6 also shows the lower portion of the groove 4 with side walls 15 which extend at an angle to the side wall 3 and the dovetail shape of the contour 8 correspond to the partition wall 5. The side walls 15 in the lower region of the groove are therefore not located directly on the upper edge 3 'of the side wall but only a short distance below the upper edge 3'.
The side walls 15 form in the illustrated embodiment, the two-sided undercut of the groove, which is present in this case only in the lower area.
In other possible embodiments, the side walls 15 may also extend over the entire length of the groove, ie up to the upper edge 3 'of the side wall 3. In such a case, the groove has no upper, rectangular area as shown in the figures.
In a further possible embodiment, the side wall 15 may also be present only on one side, wherein the contour on the end face of the partition wall must be formed accordingly.
In a further possible embodiment, the side wall 15 can also run parallel to the side wall 3 instead of at an angle. In such a case, the undercut would be T-shaped. Also in these cases, the undercut may be formed over the lower region or over the entire length of the groove.
