Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schalenkoffer, insbesondere Hartschalenkoffer, wobei der Schalenkoffer eine erste und eine zweite Breitseite aufweist gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a case, in particular a hard case, the case having a first and a second broad side according to the preamble of claim 1.

Schalenkoffer, und hier insbesondere auch Hartschalenkoffer sind aus dem Stand der Technik hinreichend bekannt. Solche Schalenkoffer bestehen üblicherweise aus zwei Schalenhälften, deren Oberseite jeweils eine Breitseite definiert. Unter Bildung der Schmalseite des Schalenkoffers werden die beiden Kofferhälften zur Bildung des Schalenkoffers verbunden. Bei einem solchen Schalenkoffer kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Verbindung der beiden Schalenhälften im Bereich der Schmalseite nicht unmittelbar erfolgt, sondern mittelbar durch einen umlaufenden Steg. Das heißt, dass eine jede Kofferhälfte im geschlossenen Zustand des Schalenkoffers jeweils mit dem Steg verbunden ist. Hierbei kann vorgesehen sein, dass die eine Schalenhälfte fest mit dem Steg verbunden ist, wohingegen die andere Schalenhälfte lösbar, also zum Öffnen des Koffers mit dem Steg in Verbindung steht.Shell cases, and here in particular hard case, are well known from the prior art. Such shell cases usually consist of two shell halves, the top of which each defines a broad side. Forming the narrow side of the shell case, the two case halves are connected to form the shell case. With such a shell case it can also be provided that the connection of the two shell halves in the area of the narrow side does not take place directly, but indirectly through a circumferential web. The means that each case half is connected to the web when the shell case is closed. It can be provided that one half of the shell is firmly connected to the web, whereas the other half of the shell is releasably connected to the web to open the case.

Monteure, die zu Außeneinsätzen fahren, müssen häufig eine Vielzahl von Werkzeugkoffern mitnehmen. Bislang ist es so, dass solche Werkzeugkoffer einzeln in den Kofferraum des Fahrzeugs gestellt werden, wo sie dann bei Brems- oder Beschleunigungsvorgängen gegebenenfalls auch ihre Lage verändern.Installers who go to outdoor operations often have to take a large number of tool cases with them. So far, it has been the case that such tool cases are placed individually in the trunk of the vehicle, where they may also change their position when braking or accelerating.

Die US 3,974,898 A zeigt in diesem Zusammenhang stapelbare Koffer, wobei hier die Stapelbarkeit durch umlaufende Bünde gewährleistet ist, die im aufeinandergestapeltem Zustand der Koffer nebeneinander verlaufen. Das heißt, die Kofferoberseite und die Kofferunterseite weisen jeweils einen Bund auf, der unterschiedlich in Bezug auf den Umfang ist.The US 3,974,898 A shows in this context stackable suitcases, here the stackability is guaranteed by circumferential frets that run side by side in the stacked condition of the suitcases. This means that the top of the case and the bottom of the case each have a collar that is different in terms of the circumference.

Die DE 20 2012 10 27 60 U1 lässt eine ähnliche Ausgestaltung wie die US 3,974,898 A erkennen. Auch hier können die Koffer nur mit bestimmten Breitseiten aufeinandergestapelt werden.The DE 20 2012 10 27 60 U1 leaves a similar design as that US 3,974,898 A detect. Here, too, the cases can only be stacked on one another with certain broad sides.

In der DE 31 07 882 A ist lediglich die Stapelbarkeit erwähnt, ohne dass diese dort genauer beschrieben wird.In the DE 31 07 882 A only the stackability is mentioned, without this being described in more detail there.

Aus dem nächstliegenden Stand der Technik gemäß der EP 0 359 903 A1 ist ein stapelbarer Koffer bekannt, wobei in den Eckbereichen des Koffers Nocken vorgesehen sind, die sich nur über eine Hälfte der Ober- und Unterseite der Kofferecke erstrecken. Aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Ausrichtungen der Nocken an den nach oben bzw. nach unten gerichteten Kofferecken wird die Stapelbarkeit der Koffer übereinander bewirkt. Hierbei wird durch die Nocken beim Stapelkoffer ein Verrutschen der Koffer verhindert bzw. zumindest erschwert.From the closest prior art according to the EP 0 359 903 A1 a stackable suitcase is known, cams being provided in the corner regions of the suitcase and extending over only half of the top and bottom of the case corner. Due to the different orientations of the cams on the upward and downward corners of the case, the suitability of the cases on top of one another is achieved. Here the cams on the stacking case prevent the case from slipping or at least make it difficult.

Die Aufgabe, die der Erfindung zugrunde liegt, besteht darin, bei aufeinandergestapelten Schalenkoffern, insbesondere aus Kunststoff, die Schalenkoffer in der Ebene so miteinander zu kuppeln, also zu fixieren, dass sie auch bei Brems- oder Beschleunigungsvorgängen ihre Lage nicht so ohne Weiteres verändern.The object on which the invention is based is to couple the shell cases in the plane with one another in stacked shell cases, in particular made of plastic, that is to say to fix them in such a way that they do not easily change their position even when braking or accelerating.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe dienen die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruches 1 in Verbindung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs. Hierbei weist zum Stapeln von Schalenkoffern auf ihren Breitseiten jeder Schalenkoffer auf mindestens einer Breitseite eine Einrichtung zur arretierenden Aufnahme des benachbarten Schalenkoffers in der Ebene der Breitseite auf.The features of the characterizing part of claim 1 in conjunction with the features of the preamble serve to achieve the object. In this case, for stacking shell cases on their broad sides, each shell case has on at least one broad side a device for arresting the adjacent shell case in the plane of the broad side.

So ist des Weiteren vorgesehen, dass die Einrichtung mindestens einen auf der Breitseite des Schalenkoffers angeordneten über die Breitseite in der Höhe überstehenden Bund aufweist. Der Bund, auch als Rand oder Ring zu bezeichnen, auf der Breitseite des einen Koffers nimmt mit dem Bund auf der Breitseite des anderen z. B. darüber liegenden Koffers eine arretierende Stellung ein. Das heißt, dass die beiden Koffer in der Ebene der Breitseite, also in der Ebene der Ober- bzw. Unterseite des Schalenkoffers miteinander verrastend fixiert sind. Die Stärke der Rastverbindung ist hierbei auch abhängig von dem Gewicht des jeweils oberen Schalenkoffers. Der Bund kann hierbei auf der Breitseite des Schalenkoffers umlaufend, insbesondere rechteckförmig umlaufend, ausgebildet sein. Vorteilhaft ist hierbei, wenn der Bund im Randbereich auf der Breitseite des Schalenkoffers angeordnet ist, da in diesem Fall aufgrund der Länge des Bundes eine verhältnismäßig große Rastfläche zur Verfügung steht, wenn die beiden Schalenkoffer mit ihrem jeweiligen Bund ineinandergreifend aufeinander liegen. In jedem Fall müssen die Bünde auf den Breitseiten der beiden Kofferschalen so ausgebildet sein, dass diese ineinander greifen. Das heißt, sie müssen in Bezug auf den Umfang und ihre Ausbildung aufeinander abgestimmt sein, sodass mehrere Schalenkoffer untereinander im Wesentlichen spielfrei verrastend aufeinander gestapelt werden können.It is furthermore provided that the device has at least one collar that is arranged on the broad side of the shell case and that protrudes in height above the broad side. The covenant, also referred to as a rim or ring, on the broad side of one case takes with the covenant on the broad side of the other z. B. overlying suitcase a locking position. This means that the two cases are locked together in the plane of the broad side, that is to say in the plane of the top and bottom of the shell case. The strength of the snap connection is also dependent on the weight of the upper shell case. The collar can be formed on the broad side of the shell case, particularly in a rectangular shape. It is advantageous here if the collar is arranged in the edge region on the broad side of the shell case, since in this case, due to the length of the collar, a relatively large latching area is available when the two shell cases with their respective collar interlocking. In any case, the frets on the broad sides of the two case shells must be designed so that they interlock. This means that they have to be coordinated with one another in terms of their scope and their design, so that several shell cases can be stacked on top of one another with essentially no play.

In Bezug auf die Ausbildung des Bundes ist vorgesehen, dass der Bund mindestens eine innere und mindestens eine äußere Kante aufweist. Hierbei liegt bei einem Bund auf einer Breitseite eines Schalenkoffers die äußere Kante höher als die innere Kante. Korrespondierend hierzu kann die Breitseite des benachbarten Koffers einen Bund aufweisen, bei dem die innere Kante höher ist als die äußere Kante, jeweils gemessen von der Oberseite der Breitseite des Schalenkoffers. Hierbei ist der Abstand zwischen der jeweils inneren und der äußeren Kante sowie die Winkelstellung der Verbindungsfläche zwischen der äußeren und der inneren Kante jeweils gleich bzw. identisch. Hieraus wird deutlich, dass in einem solchen Fall zwei Schalenkoffer gestapelt werden können, deren Bund auf der Breitseite jeweils unterschiedlich ausgebildet ist, aber dennoch so ausgebildet ist, dass bei Aufeinanderlegen der beiden Koffer der eine Bund verrastend in dem anderen Bund einliegt. Das heißt auch, dass die Bünde auf den beiden Breitseiten des Schalenkoffers vom Umfang derart aufeinander abgestellt sind, dass sie miteinander im Wesentlichen spielfrei verrasten, wenn zwei oder mehr gleiche Koffer aufeinander gestapelt werden.With regard to the formation of the federal government, it is provided that the federal government has at least one inner and at least one outer edge. Here, the outer edge of a collar on a broad side of a shell case is higher than the inner edge. Correspondingly, the broad side of the adjacent case can have a collar in which the inner edge is higher than the outer edge, measured in each case from the top of the broad side of the shell case. The distance between the inner and outer edges and the angular position of the connecting surface between the outer and inner edges are the same or identical. It is clear from this that in such a case two shell cases can be stacked, the waistband of which is designed differently on the broad side, but is nevertheless designed such that when the two cases are placed one on top of the other, one waistband rests in the other waistband. This also means that the frets on the two broad sides of the shell case are adjusted to one another from the circumference in such a way that they lock together with one another essentially without play when two or more identical cases are stacked on top of one another.

Des Weiteren weisen die mindestens eine innere und die mindestens eine äußere Kante in den Eckbereichen des vorzugsweise rechteckförmig umlaufenden Bundes eine unterschiedliche Höhe auf. Hierbei ist insbesondere vorgesehen, dass jeweils zwei diagonal einander gegenüberliegende Eckbereiche des Bundes gleich oder auch identisch ausgebildet sind. Dies hat zur Folge, dass der Bund auf jeder Breitseite des Schalenkoffers identisch ausgebildet ist. Das heißt, dass wenn die beiden Schalen des Schalenkoffers aneinander, also nebeneinander, gelegt werden würden, dann wären die beiden Bünde auf der Breitseite der beiden Schalen eines Schalenkoffers identisch und zwar bezogen auf den Umfang und die Ausbildung der beiden Bünde. Somit können Schalenkoffer gestapelt werden, wenn die Bünde der zu stapelnden Koffer gleich oder identisch sind. Dies hat den großen Vorteil, dass bei z. B. einem rechteckförmig umlaufenden Bund, egal mit welcher Breitseite die Koffer aufeinander zu liegen kommen und auch egal, wie die Ausrichtung der Koffer ist, also beispielsweise, ob die Vorderseite des einen Koffers über der Rückseite des anderen Koffers ist, die beiden zu stapelnden Koffer über die beiden Bünde immer in eine verrastende Stellung gelangen.Furthermore, the at least one inner and the at least one outer edge have a different height in the corner regions of the preferably rectangularly extending collar. In particular, it is provided that two diagonally opposite corner regions of the federal government are identical or identical are trained. As a result, the collar is identical on each broad side of the shell case. This means that if the two shells of the shell case were placed next to each other, i.e. side by side, then the two frets on the broad side of the two shells of a shell case would be identical in terms of the circumference and design of the two frets. This means that shell cases can be stacked if the frets of the cases to be stacked are identical or identical. This has the great advantage that at z. B. a rectangular circumferential collar, no matter which broad side the suitcases come to lie on one another and also no matter how the orientation of the suitcases is, for example whether the front of one suitcase is over the back of the other suitcase, the two suitcases to be stacked always come into a locking position via the two frets.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist insbesondere vorgesehen, dass bei zwei einander gegenüberliegenden ersten Eckbereichen die mindestens eine äußere Kante höher liegt, als die mindestens eine innere Kante, wobei bei den weiteren zwei einander gegenüberliegenden zweiten Eckbereichen die mindestens eine innere Kante höher liegt als die mindestens eine äußere Kante. Das bedeutet, wie dies bereits zuvor erläutert worden ist, dass bei vier Eckbereichen immer die einander diagonal gegenüberliegenden Eckbereiche identisch ausgebildet sind. Im Einzelnen ist in Bezug auf die Führung der inneren bzw. der äußeren Kante vorgesehen, dass der Abstand zwischen der inneren und der äußeren Kante in jedem Eckbereich im Wesentlichen gleich oder identisch ist. Auch die Winkellage der Fläche zwischen der äußeren Kante und der inneren Kante ist im Wesentlichen identisch. Im Einzelnen zeichnet sich der jeweils erste Eckbereich auch dadurch aus, dass die innere Kante in der Breitseite des Schalenkoffers verläuft. Das heißt, dass die innere Kante durch den Übergangsbereich zwischen der Breitseite und dem Bund gebildet wird und zwar im jeweils ersten Eckbereich. Im jeweils zweiten Eckbereich verläuft die innere Kante in einem Abstand zur Breitseite des Schalenkoffers, dass heißt, dass die innere Kante oberhalb der äußeren Kante auf dem Bund verläuft. Beide Kanten verlaufen allerdings nicht nur in der Höhe versetzt zueinander, sondern auch seitlich versetzt; ansonsten würde sich kein Bund ergeben.In this context, it is particularly provided that in the case of two mutually opposite first corner regions, the at least one outer edge is higher than the at least one inner edge, with the further two mutually opposite second corner regions the at least one inner edge being higher than the at least one outer edge Edge. As has already been explained above, this means that, in the case of four corner areas, the diagonally opposite corner areas are always identical. In detail, with regard to the guidance of the inner or the outer edge, it is provided that the distance between the inner and the outer edge is essentially the same or identical in each corner region. The angular position of the surface between the outer edge and the inner edge is essentially identical. The first corner area is also characterized in that the inner edge runs in the broad side of the shell case. This means that the inner edge is formed by the transition area between the broad side and the collar, in each case in the first corner area. The inner edge runs in the second corner area at a distance from the broad side of the shell case, which means that the inner edge runs above the outer edge on the collar. Both edges are not only staggered in height, but also laterally offset; otherwise there would be no covenant.

Die Kanten verändern bei einem umlaufend auf der Breitseite des Schalenkoffers angeordneten Bund in der Verbindung von einem Eckbereich zum benachbarten Eckbereich kontinuierlich ihre Höhe relativ zueinander, wobei im Mittelbereich zwischen zwei benachbarten Eckbereichen die äußere und die innere Kante eine gleiche Höhe aufweisen. Hieraus wird deutlich, dass die Verrastung zwischen den beiden einander zugeordneten Bünde der beiden einander benachbarten Breitseiten zweier Koffer nicht nur in den Eckbereichen miteinander rastend verbunden sind, sondern über die gesamte Länge des umlaufenden, insbesondere rechteckförmig umlaufenden Bundes.The edges change continuously in relation to one another in the case of a collar arranged circumferentially on the broad side of the shell case in the connection from a corner area to the adjacent corner area, the outer and inner edges having the same height in the middle area between two adjacent corner areas. It is clear from this that the latching between the two associated frets of the two adjacent broad sides of two suitcases are connected to one another not only in the corner regions, but rather over the entire length of the circumferential, in particular rectangular, circumferential collar.

Anhand der Zeichnung wird die Erfindung nachstehend beispielhaft näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below using the drawing as an example.

Der insgesamt mit 1 bezeichnete Schalenkoffer umfasst die beiden Schalenhälften 3 und 5. Die beiden Schalenhälften 3 und 5 werden zur Bildung des geschlossenen Schalenkoffers aufeinander zugeklappt. Der mit 9 bezeichnete Griff umfasst Schnappverschlüsse 11, mit denen die beiden Schalenhälften 3 und 5 miteinander verbunden sind.The shell case, designated overall by 1, comprises the two shell halves 3 and 5. The two shell halves 3 and 5 are folded towards one another to form the closed shell case. The handle designated 9 comprises snap locks 11, with which the two shell halves 3 and 5 are connected to one another.

Die Breitseite des Schalenkoffers 1 ist mit 7 bezeichnet. Die Breitseite 7 kann auch als Ober- bzw. Unterseite des Koffers bezeichnet werden. Auf der Breitseite ist im Randbereich der Bund 20 rechteckförmig umlaufend angeordnet. Der Bund steht hierbei in der Höhe über die Breitseite 7 des Schalenkoffers 1 über, wie sich dies anschaulich der einzigen Figur entnehmen lässt. Ein solcher Bund 20 in identischer Ausprägung findet sich auf jeder Breitseite 7 einer jeden Schalenhälfte eines Schalenkoffers 1, sodass mehrere der Schalenkoffer 1 aufeinander gestapelt werden können. Der Bund 20, der wie bereits ausgeführt, rechteckförmig umlaufend auf der Breitseite im Bereich des Randes der Breitseite angeordnet ist, umfasst zwei erste Eckbereiche 22 und zwei zweite Eckbereiche 24. Darüber hinaus weist der Bund auf der Oberseite mindestens zwei Kanten auf, nämlich eine äußere Kante 26 und eine innere Kante 28. Im jeweils ersten Eckbereich 22 verläuft die innere Kante 28 unterhalb der äußeren Kante 26. Im Bereich des jeweils zweiten Eckbereichs 24 ist es genau umgekehrt, hier verläuft die äußere Kante 26 unterhalb der inneren Kante 28. Zwischen der äußeren Kante 26 und der inneren Kante 28 wird in dem jeweiligen Eckbereich 22 und 24 jeweils eine schräg verlaufende Fläche gebildet. Im ersten Eckbereich 22 ist die zwischen der äußeren Kante und der inneren Kante gebildete innere Fläche mit 30 bezeichnet, wobei die Fläche 30 auf die Breitseite 7 des Schalenkoffers 1 zugerichtet ist. Ganz anders verläuft die äußere Fläche 32 im zweiten Eckbereich, die nach außen gerichtet ist. Zumindest die Winkellage beider Flächen, also sowohl der inneren Fläche als auch der äußeren Fläche relativ zur Horizontalen ist hierbei gleich. Im Mittelbereich 34 verlaufen die innere Kante 28 und die äußere Kante 26 in einer Ebene.The broad side of the shell case 1 is designated 7. The broad side 7 can also be referred to as the top or bottom of the case. On the broad side, the collar 20 is arranged in a rectangular shape all around in the edge region. The covenant protrudes above the broad side 7 of the shell case 1, as can be clearly seen in the single figure. Such a collar 20 is found in an identical form on each broad side 7 of each shell half of a shell case 1, so that several of the shell cases 1 can be stacked on top of one another. The collar 20, which, as already stated, is arranged in a circular shape on the broad side in the region of the edge of the broad side, comprises two first corner regions 22 and two second corner regions 24. In addition, the collar has at least two edges on the upper side, namely an outer one Edge 26 and an inner edge 28. In the first corner area 22, the inner edge 28 runs below the outer edge 26. In the area of the second corner area 24, it is exactly the opposite, here the outer edge 26 runs below the inner edge 28. Between the outer edge 26 and inner edge 28 are each formed in the respective corner area 22 and 24 an oblique surface. In the first corner region 22, the inner surface formed between the outer edge and the inner edge is designated by 30, the surface 30 being directed toward the broad side 7 of the shell case 1. The outer surface 32 in the second corner area, which is directed outwards, is quite different. At least the angular position of both surfaces, ie both the inner surface and the outer surface relative to the horizontal, is the same here. In the central region 34, the inner edge 28 and the outer edge 26 run in one plane.

Werden nun zwei Schalenkoffer 1 aufeinander gestapelt, so wird der zweite Eckbereich 24 durch den ersten Eckbereich 22 aufgenommen. Das heißt, egal wie die Schalenkoffer 1 aufeinander gestapelt werden, immer nimmt der erste Eckbereich 22 den zweiten Eckbereich 24 des Bundes 20 auf. Hierbei entsteht zwischen den beiden Bünden 20 zumindest im jeweiligen Eckbereich eine formschlüssige Verbindung, die zu einer Verrastung der beiden aufeinander gestapelten Schalenkoffer führt.If two shell cases 1 are now stacked on top of one another, the second corner area 24 is received by the first corner area 22. That is, no matter how the shell cases 1 are stacked on top of each other, the first corner area 22 always receives the second corner area 24 of the federal government 20. This creates a positive connection between the two frets 20, at least in the respective corner area, which leads to a latching of the two shell cases stacked on top of one another.
