Description

"Behälter mit geschlossenen Wänden"  "Container with closed walls"
Beschreibung: Description:
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 . The invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1.
Gattungsgemäße Behälter sind aus der Praxis bekannt. Die Wand wird bei derartigen Behältern häufig auch als Ring bezeichnet, weil sie häufig als geschlossener mehreckiger Ring ausgestaltet ist. Durch Schwächungslinien, die in die Wand eingebracht sind, kann dieser Ring flach zusannnnengefaltet werden, so dass der gesamte Behälter zu Transportzwecken flach zusammengelegt werden kann. Der Ring besteht üblicherweise aus einem mehrlagigen Papierwerkstoff oder aus Kunststoff, beispielsweise in Form einer Leichtbauplatte mit zwei äußerenGeneric containers are known in practice. The wall is often referred to in such containers as a ring, because it is often designed as a closed polygonal ring. By weakening lines introduced into the wall, this ring can be folded flat so that the entire container can be folded flat for transport purposes. The ring usually consists of a multilayer paper material or plastic, for example in the form of a lightweight board with two outer
Decklagen und einer dazwischen angeordneten Zwischenlage, die eine Vielzahl von Hohlräumen aufweist. Boden und Deckel sind üblicherweise als Tiefziehteile aus Kunststoff ausgestaltet. Um einen ausreichenden Halt des Bodens bzw. des Deckels amCover layers and an intermediate layer disposed therebetween, which has a plurality of cavities. Bottom and lid are usually designed as deep-drawn parts made of plastic. To ensure adequate retention of the soil or the lid on
Ring sicherzustellen, ist es bekannt, Ausnehmungen in der Wand vorzusehen und Vorsprünge am Boden bzw. am Deckel vorzusehen, welche als Verschlusselemente in die wandseitigen Ausnehmungen eingreifen. In besonders wirtschaftlicher Ausge- staltung des Behälters kann vorgesehen sein, diese Vorsprünge einstückig aus dem Boden bzw. dem Deckel zu bilden, so dass keine separaten Bauteile als bewegliche Verschlusselemente vorgesehen sein müssen, sondern vielmehr eine formschlüssige Rastverbindung zwischen der Wand einerseits und dem Boden bzw. Deckel andererseits geschaffen werden kann. To ensure ring, it is known to provide recesses in the wall and to provide projections on the bottom or on the lid, which engage as closure elements in the wall-side recesses. In a particularly economical embodiment of the container can be provided to form these projections in one piece from the bottom or the lid, so that no separate components must be provided as movable closure elements, but rather a positive locking connection between the wall on the one hand and the bottom or cover on the other hand can be created.
Dadurch, dass der Boden bzw. Deckel die Ausnehmungen der Wand, die als ausgestanzte Löcher ausgestaltet sind, teilweise verdeckt, wird ein Feuchtigkeitsschutz geschaffen, der das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit in das Behälterinnere erschwert. Je nach Richtung, in welcher die Feuchtigkeit an den Behälter gerät, ist jedoch das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit nicht vollständig auszuschließen. Beispielsweise kann ein Schutz gegen Regen, also gegen von oben herabregnendes Wasser durch den Deckel geschaffen werden. Falls jedoch das Wasser schräg von unten hoch spritzt, wie dies beispielsweise der Fall sein kann, wenn der Behälter neben einer Pfütze abgestellt ist und Fahrzeuge durch die Pfütze fahren, so ist nicht auszuschließen, dass Wasser durch die Wandöffnungen in das Behälterinnere gelangen kann, wenn der Deckel nicht tief genug, die Wandöffnungen überdeckend, nach unten gezogen ist. The fact that the bottom or cover, the openings of the wall, which are designed as punched holes, partially obscured, a moisture protection is provided, which impedes the ingress of moisture into the container interior. Depending on the direction in which the moisture gets to the container, however, the ingress of moisture is not completely ruled out. For example, a protection against rain, so against water from above herabregnendes through the lid can be created. However, if the water splashes obliquely from below, as may for example be the case when the container is parked next to a puddle and drive vehicles through the puddle, so it can not be ruled out that water can pass through the wall openings in the container interior, if the lid is not deep enough, covering the wall openings, pulled down.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgemäßen Behälter dahingehend zu verbessern, dass dieser möglichst wirtschaftlich, mit einem geringen Materialeinsatz für Boden und Deckel herstellbar ist und gleichzeitig einen möglichst hohen Schutz gegen das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit in das Behälterinnere bietet. The invention has for its object to improve a generic container to the extent that this is economical as possible, with a low material usage for the bottom and lid can be produced while providing the highest possible protection against the ingress of moisture into the container interior.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Behälter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben. This object is achieved by a container having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are described in the subclaims.
Die Erfindung schlägt mit anderen Worten vor, die in der Wand vorgesehenen Ausnehmungen nicht in Form von ausgestanzten Löchern zu schaffen, sondern vielmehr diese Ausnehmungen als Mulde auszugestalten, die von der Außenseite des Behälters nach innen ragen. Durch diese nach innen ragende Mulde ist es nach wie vor möglich, von außen an die Behälterwand angreifende Verschlusselemente in die Ausnehmung eingreifen zu lassen und damit den Boden bzw. den Deckel an der Wand des Behälters festzulegen, da ein Formschluss erzielt werden kann. Dadurch, dass die Ausnehmung als vollflächige Öffnung ausgestaltet ist, also als eine Fehlstelle in der Wand, wird ein Feuchtigkeitsschutz für den Behälterinhalt auch dann geschaffen, wenn aufgrund unglücklicher Umstände Feuchtigkeit am Deckel bzw. am Boden vorbei bis in die Ausnehmung gelangen kann. Aus diesem Grund muss der wannenartig nach oben ragende Boden sowie der haubenartig sich nach unten über die Wand erstreckende Deckel sich auch nicht weit über die Ausnehmung hinaus erstrecken, er muss sogar die Ausnehmung nicht vollständig verdecken, um dennoch einen optimalen Feuchtigkeitsschutz des Behälters zu bewirken. Sowohl der Boden als auch der Behälter können daher mit vergleichsweise geringem Materialeinsatz hergestellt werden, so dass hierdurch das Gewicht des Behälters und die Material kosten des Behälters möglichst gering gehalten werden können. The invention proposes, in other words, not to provide the recesses provided in the wall in the form of punched holes, but rather to design these recesses as a trough, which from the outside of the container protrude inward. By this inwardly projecting trough it is still possible to engage from the outside of the container wall engaging closure elements in the recess and thus set the bottom or the lid on the wall of the container, since a positive connection can be achieved. The fact that the recess is configured as a full-surface opening, so as a defect in the wall, a moisture protection for the container contents is also created if due to unfortunate circumstances moisture on the cover or on the ground can pass into the recess. For this reason, the trough-like upwardly projecting bottom and the hood-like downwardly extending over the wall lid does not extend well beyond the recess, he must even not completely cover the recess, yet to effect optimal moisture protection of the container. Both the bottom and the container can therefore be made with relatively little use of material, so that in this way the weight of the container and the material cost of the container can be kept as low as possible.
Gemäß einem vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispiel kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Mulde nicht als separates Element hergestellt und mit der Wand verbunden worden ist, beispielsweise in Form eines Spritzgussteils, welches in entsprechende Stanzlöcher der Wand eingesetzt ist. Vielmehr kann die Mulde vorteilhaft durch eine entsprechende Verformung der Wand selbst geschaffen sein. Dabei wiederum kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass die Mulde durch einen Pressvorgang geschaffen worden ist, so dass die Wandstärke der Wand im Bereich der Mulde verringert ist. Auf diese Weise kann die Mulde in der Wand ohne Verwendung eines komplizierten mehrteiligen Formwerkzeugs erzeugt werden. Vielmehr kann beispielsweise die Mulde durch einen einfachen Prägestempel von einer Seite her, nämlich von der späteren Außenseite der Wand her, in das Wandmaterial eingeprägt werden, was die Herstellung des Behälters, insbesondere der Wand, wirtschaftlich vorteilhaft beeinflusst. According to an advantageous embodiment it can be provided that the trough has not been manufactured as a separate element and connected to the wall, for example in the form of an injection-molded part, which is inserted into corresponding punched holes of the wall. Rather, the trough can be advantageously created by a corresponding deformation of the wall itself. In turn, it can be advantageously provided that the trough has been created by a pressing process, so that the wall thickness of the wall is reduced in the region of the trough. In this way, the trough can be created in the wall without the use of a complicated multi-part mold. Rather, for example, the trough by a simple die stamped from one side, namely from the later outer side of the wall, stamped into the wall material be, which affects the production of the container, in particular the wall, economically advantageous.
In an sich bekannter Weise kann vorgesehen sein, dass die drei erwähnten Elemente des Behälters, nämlich Bodendeckel und Wand, aus Kunststoff bestehen. Dabei kann in an sich bekannter Weise vorgesehen sein, dass die Wand aus einem mehrlagigen Material besteht und zwei Kunststofffolien aufweist, welche einerseits die innere und andererseits die äußere Wandfläche bilden. Diese beiden Wandflächen sind im Abstand voneinander gehalten und durch eine Zwischenlage miteinander verbunden, welche eine Vielzahl von Hohlräumen aufweist, so dass die Wand aus einem steifen und leichtgewichtigen Material besteht und eine im Vergleich zu den verwendeten Folien große Wandstärke aufweist. An den gewünschten Knickstellen, die für einen mehreckigen Querschnitt des von der Wand gebildeten Rings vorgesehen sind, kann dieses Material in an sich bekannter Weise mit Prägelinien versehen werden, die als Schwächungslinien das Falten des Materials entlang dieser Linien erleichtern. Bei Verwendung von thermoplastischem Material können die drei Lagen - z. B. durch Verwendung eines beheizten Prägewerkzeugs - entlang dieser Prägelinien miteinander verschweißt werden. In ähnlicher Weise kann auch für die Schaffung der Mulde vorgesehen sein, einen entsprechend großen Abschnitt der äußeren Wandfläche an die innere Wandfläche zu pressen und mit dieser zu verschweißen, unter Einbeziehung der dazwischen befindlichen Zwischenlage. In a manner known per se, it can be provided that the three mentioned elements of the container, namely bottom cover and wall, consist of plastic. It can be provided in a conventional manner that the wall consists of a multilayer material and has two plastic films, which on the one hand form the inner and the other hand, the outer wall surface. These two panels are spaced apart and interconnected by an intermediate layer having a plurality of cavities so that the wall is made of a stiff and lightweight material and has a large wall thickness compared to the films used. At the desired kinks, which are provided for a polygonal cross-section of the wall formed by the wall, this material can be provided in a conventional manner with stamping lines, which facilitate as lines of weakness the folding of the material along these lines. When using thermoplastic material, the three layers - z. B. by using a heated embossing tool - are welded together along these stamping lines. Similarly, it can also be provided for the creation of the trough to press a correspondingly large portion of the outer wall surface to the inner wall surface and to weld with this, including the interposed intermediate layer.
Es kann vorgesehen sein, die Mulde als gleichmäßige Verformung der Wand auszugestalten, so dass im Bereich der Mulde auch im Behälterinneren entsprechende nach innen ragende Vorsprünge in der Wand vorgesehen sind. Auf diese Weise kann die Mulde mit einer Tiefe geschaffen werden, welche größer ist als die Wandstärke der Wand. Es kann jedoch vorteilhaft sein, die Wand zum Behälterinneren möglichst eben auszubilden. Bei einer Wand, die einen im Querschnitt viereckigen Ring bildet, sind dementsprechend vier Wandabschnitte vorgesehen und jeder dieser vier Wandabschnitte kann vorteilhaft zum Behälterinneren hin völlig eben verlaufen, so dass keine nach innen ragenden ggf. hinderlichen Vorsprünge in der Wand vorgesehen sind. Die Tiefe der Mulde kann bei dieser Ausführung des vorschlagsgemäßen Behälters das Maß der Wandstärke nicht überschreiben. It can be provided to design the trough as a uniform deformation of the wall, so that corresponding inwardly projecting projections are provided in the wall in the region of the trough in the container interior. In this way, the trough can be created with a depth which is greater than the wall thickness of the wall. However, it may be advantageous to form the wall to the interior of the container as flat as possible. For a wall forming a quadrangular ring, Accordingly, four wall sections are provided and each of these four wall sections can advantageously extend completely flat to the container interior, so that no inwardly protruding possibly obstructive projections are provided in the wall. The depth of the trough can not override the degree of wall thickness in this embodiment of the proposed container.
Je nach Ausgestaltung der Muldengeometrie und je nach Ausgestaltung der verwendeten Verschlusselemente kann zu Gunsten einer zuverlässigen Verbindung zwischen der Wand einerseits und dem Deckel bzw. dem Boden andererseits vorgesehen sein, auf eine ebene Ausgestaltung der inneren Wandflächen zu verzichten, was ohnehin unkritisch ist, wenn der Behälter beispielsweise mit kleinteiligen Schüttgütern beladen werden soll. In diesem Fall kann die Mulde über die sie umgebende innere Wandfläche hinaus in das Behälterinnere ragen, also eine besonders große Muldentiefe aufweisen, so dass hierdurch eine Verrastung bzw. ein Formschluss mit dem Boden bzw. dem Deckel besonders zuverlässig ermöglicht wird. Depending on the configuration of the trough geometry and depending on the design of the closure elements used may be provided in favor of a reliable connection between the wall on the one hand and the lid or the floor on the other hand, to dispense with a flat design of the inner wall surfaces, which is not critical anyway, if Container should be loaded, for example, with small-scale bulk materials. In this case, the trough can protrude beyond the inner wall surface surrounding it into the interior of the container, that is to say have a particularly large bowl depth, so that a latching or a positive connection with the bottom or the lid is made particularly reliable thereby.
Wenn die Mulde über die innere Wandfläche hinaus in das Behälterinnere ragt, kann die dazu erforderliche Verformung des Wandmaterials dadurch erleichtert werden, dass das Wandmaterial unterbrochen wird, beispielsweise durch einen in das Wandmaterial eingebrachten Schnitt. Da im Bereich dieses Schnitts das Wandmaterial im Bereich der Mulde besonders stark verformt werden kann, die Mulde also im Bereich, der an diesen Schnitt angrenzt, eine besonders große Muldentiefe aufweisen kann, ist hier eine besonders zuverlässige Verschlussmöglichkeit für einen Formschluss mit dem Deckel bzw. dem Boden gegeben. Daher kann diese Unterbrechung, beispielsweise der erwähnte Schnitt, insbesondere dort vorgesehen sein, wo die Mulde dem benachbarten Rand der Wand am Nächsten ist. Ohnehin kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass die Mulde nicht über ihre gesamte Höhe die gleiche Muldentiefe aufweisen muss. Die Verformung des Wandmaterials kann dadurch erleichtert werden, dass die Mulde zu ihrem nächst benachbarten Rand hin eine zunehmende Tiefe aufweist. When the trough protrudes beyond the inner wall surface into the container interior, the required deformation of the wall material can be facilitated by the fact that the wall material is interrupted, for example by a cut introduced into the wall material. Since in the region of this section the wall material in the area of the depression can be particularly strongly deformed, ie the depression in the area adjoining this section can have a particularly large depression depth, here a particularly reliable closure possibility for a positive connection with the lid or given to the ground. Therefore, this interruption, such as the mentioned cut, may be provided especially where the trough is closest to the adjacent edge of the wall. In any case, it can advantageously be provided that the trough does not have to have the same bowl depth over its entire height. The deformation of the wall material can be facilitated by the trough having an increasing depth towards its next adjacent edge.
Besonders vorteilhaft kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Bereich der Mulde, der dem benachbarten Rand der Wand am Nächsten ist, eine Hinterschneidung bildet, so dass damit ein besonders wirksamer Formschluss mit dem benachbarten Deckel bzw. Boden des Behälters erzielt werden kann. Particularly advantageous may be provided that the region of the trough, which is closest to the adjacent edge of the wall, forms an undercut, so that thus a particularly effective positive engagement with the adjacent lid or bottom of the container can be achieved.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden anhand der rein schematischen Darstellungen nachfolgend näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt Embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the purely schematic representations. It shows
Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht auf einen dreiteiligen Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a three-part
Behälter mit abgenommenem Deckel, und die  Container with lid removed, and the
Fig. 2 - 5 unterschiedliche Ausgestaltungen von Mulden, jeweils dargestellt in Form eines Schnittes entlang der Linie A - A in Fig. 1 FIGS. 2-5 show different embodiments of hollows, each illustrated in the form of a section along the line A-A in FIG. 1
In Fig. 1 ist ein Behälter insgesamt mit 1 bezeichnet. Der Behälter weist einen Boden 2 auf, der mit vier Füßen 3 auf dem Untergrund aufsteht und der insofern wannenartig ausgestaltet ist, als er einen äußeren umlaufenden Kragen 4 bildet, der nach oben hochgezogen ist, so dass in diesen wannenartigen Boden 2 und somit innerhalb des Kragens 4, eine Wand 5 des Behälters 1 eingestellt werden kann. Anhand gestrichelter Linien ist dargestellt, dass ein unterer Rand 6 der Wand 5 in den wannenartigen Boden 2 eintaucht. In Fig. 1, a container is generally designated 1. The container has a bottom 2 which rises with four feet 3 on the ground and which is designed trough-like in that it forms an outer circumferential collar 4, which is pulled upwards, so that in this trough-like bottom 2 and thus within the Collar 4, a wall 5 of the container 1 can be adjusted. Dashed lines show that a lower edge 6 of the wall 5 is immersed in the trough-like bottom 2.
Die Wand 5 ist mit dem Boden 2 lösbar verbunden, beispielsweise auf die gleiche Art, wie nachfolgend für eine Verbindung zwischen der Wand 5 und einem Deckel 7 näher erläutert wird. Die Wand 5 weist einen oberen Rand 8 auf und diesem oberen Rand 8 benachbart ist in der Wand 5 die Anordnung von MuldenThe wall 5 is releasably connected to the bottom 2, for example, in the same manner, as will be explained in more detail below for a connection between the wall 5 and a cover 7. The wall 5 has an upper edge 8 and this upper edge 8 is adjacent in the wall 5, the arrangement of wells
9 vorgesehen. Die Wand 5 ist als ein Ring mit viereckigem Querschnitt ausgestaltet, so dass die Wand 5 insgesamt vier einzelne Wandabschnitte 10 bildet. Bei dem dargestellten AusfĂĽhrungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, dass in jedem Wandabschnitt9 provided. The wall 5 is designed as a ring with a quadrangular cross section, so that the wall 5 forms a total of four individual wall sections 10. In the illustrated embodiment, it is provided that in each wall section
10 jeweils eine Mulde 9 nahe dem oberen Rand 8 angeordnet ist. Dabei ist aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, dass die Mulden lediglich auf der Außenseite der Wand 5 vorgesehen sind, die Wand 5 auf ihrer zum Behälterinneren gerichteten Innenseite jedoch frei von entsprechenden Verformungen ist. 10 each a trough 9 is disposed near the upper edge 8. It can be seen from Fig. 1 that the troughs are provided only on the outside of the wall 5, the wall 5 is on its inner side facing the container, however, free from corresponding deformations.
Der Deckel 7 ist haubenartig ausgestaltet, liegt also nicht nur auf dem oberen Rand 8 der Wand 5 auf, sondern erstreckt sich mit einem umlaufenden Kragen 1 1 auch außen über die Wand 5 ähnlich wie das anhand des Kragens 4 des Bodens 2 erläutert ist. Im Kragen 1 1 des Deckels 7 sind Verschlusselemente 12 angeordnet. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind diese Verschlusselemente 12 als in den Kragen 1 1 eingeprägte, nach innen ragende Vorsprünge ausgestaltet, die in die Mulden 9 der Wand 5 eingreifen, wenn der Deckel 7 auf die Wand 5 aufgelegt wird.  The lid 7 is designed hood-like, so is not only on the upper edge 8 of the wall 5, but extends with a circumferential collar 1 1 also outside on the wall 5 similar to that explained with reference to the collar 4 of the bottom 2. In the collar 1 1 of the lid 7 closure elements 12 are arranged. In the illustrated embodiment, these closure elements 12 are designed as embossed into the collar 1 1, inwardly projecting projections which engage in the troughs 9 of the wall 5 when the lid 7 is placed on the wall 5.
Fig. 2 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer Mulde 9, die nahe dem oberen Rand 8 der Wand 5 angeordnet ist. Wie bereits erwähnt, kann die Verbindung zwischen der Wand 5 und dem unteren Boden 2 auf gleiche Art ausgestaltet sein, wie die Verbindung mit der Wand 5 und dem Deckel 7, so dass nachfolgend rein beispielhaft stets die Ausgestaltung von Mulden 9 beschrieben wird, die sich nahe dem oberen Rand 8 der Wand 5 befinden und zum Zusammenwirken mit dem Deckel 7 vorgesehen sind, wobei diese Beschreibungen dann stellvertretend auch für die Ausgestaltung der unteren Mulden nahe dem unteren Rand 6 der Wand 5 stehen. In Fig. 2 ist eine Wand 5 dargestellt, die als mehrlagiges Material ausgestaltet ist und eine innere Wandfläche 14 aufweist sowie eine äußere Wandfläche 15, wobei zwischen diesen beiden Wandflächen 14 und 15 eine nicht dargestellte Zwischenlage vorgesehen ist, die beispielsweise wellenförmig verläuft oder Noppen bzw. Rippen aufweist, und welche jedenfalls die beiden Wandflächen 14 und 15 miteinander verbindet und einen angedeuteten Hohlraum 16 aufweist. Die Zwischenlage kann auch durch eine Vielzahl von in den Hohlraum 16 eingebrachten Elemente gebildet sein, die miteinander und mit den inneren und äußeren Wandflächen 14 und 15 verbunden sind. Die für die Wand 5 verwendeten Materialien 5 bestehen aus Kunststoff, wobei nicht nur für das in Fig. 2 dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel vorgesehen sein kann, dass ein thermoplastischer Kunststoff verwendet wird. Mittels einer entsprechenden Temperaturzufuhr, beispielsweise über ein temperiertes Prägewerkzeug oder eine Strahlungsbeheizung der Wand 5, ist für das Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 2 vorgesehen, die äußere Wandfläche 15 mit der inneren Wandfläche 14 zu verschweißen, so dass dadurch die Mulde 9 außen in der Wand 5 geschaffen worden ist, während die innere Wandfläche 14 verformungsfrei als ebene Fläche ausgestaltet ist. Die Tiefe der Mulde 9 ist daher geringfügig geringer als das Maß der Wandstärke der Wand 5. Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of a trough 9, which is arranged near the upper edge 8 of the wall 5. As already mentioned, the connection between the wall 5 and the lower floor 2 can be configured in the same way as the connection with the wall 5 and the lid 7, so that the embodiment of troughs 9, which are themselves purely exemplary, is always described below are located near the upper edge 8 of the wall 5 and are provided for cooperation with the lid 7, these descriptions are then representative of the design of the lower wells near the lower edge 6 of the wall 5. In Fig. 2, a wall 5 is shown, which is designed as a multilayer material and having an inner wall surface 14 and an outer wall surface 15, wherein between these two wall surfaces 14 and 15, an intermediate layer, not shown, is provided which extends, for example, wavy or studs or . Has ribs, and which in any case connects the two wall surfaces 14 and 15 with each other and an indicated cavity 16 has. The intermediate layer may also be formed by a plurality of elements introduced into the cavity 16, which are connected to one another and to the inner and outer wall surfaces 14 and 15. The materials used for the wall 5 5 are made of plastic, which may be provided not only for the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, that a thermoplastic material is used. By means of a corresponding temperature supply, for example via a tempered embossing tool or a radiation heating of the wall 5, is provided for the embodiment of FIG. 2, the outer wall surface 15 to be welded to the inner wall surface 14, thereby characterized the trough 9 outside in the wall. 5 has been created, while the inner wall surface 14 is designed without deformation as a flat surface. The depth of the trough 9 is therefore slightly smaller than the measure of the wall thickness of the wall fifth
Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 3 ist ebenfalls vorgesehen, die äußere Wandfläche 15 an die innere Wandfläche 14 zu pressen und im Kontaktbereich diese beiden Wandflächen 14 und 15 beispielsweise thermisch miteinander zu verschweißen. Jedoch ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 3 vorgesehen, auch die innere Wandfläche 14 zu verformen, so dass die Mulde 9 eine Tiefe T aufweisen kann, die deutlich größer ist als das Maß der Wandstärke der Wand 5. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass die Muldentiefe T von der Mitte der Wand 5 zum oberen Rand hin zunimmt, so dass für den Formschluss, welcher den Deckel 7 gegen abhebende Kräfte sichern soll, insbesondere dort, wo die Mulde 9 dem benachbarten Rand der Wand 5 am Nächsten ist, eine besonders große Tiefe T der Mulde 9 ermöglicht wird. In the embodiment of Fig. 3 is also provided to press the outer wall surface 15 to the inner wall surface 14 and in the contact area, these two wall surfaces 14 and 15, for example, to thermally weld together. However, it is provided in the embodiment of FIG. 3, also the inner wall surface 14 to deform, so that the trough 9 may have a depth T, which is significantly greater than the measure of the wall thickness of the wall 5. It is provided that the trough depth T increases from the middle of the wall 5 to the upper edge, so that for the positive connection, which is to secure the cover 7 against lifting forces, especially where the Trough 9 is closest to the adjacent edge of the wall 5, a particularly large depth T of the trough 9 is made possible.
Beim AusfĂĽhrungsbeispiel der Fig. 4 ist in Unterscheidung zum AusfĂĽhrungsbeispiel der Fig. 3 einerseits vorgesehen, dass dieIn the embodiment of FIG. 4 is provided in distinction to the embodiment of FIG. 3 on the one hand, that the
Muldentiefe T nicht zum nächst benachbarten Rand, nämlich dem oberen Rand 8, zunimmt und zweitens ist vorgesehen, dass die Mulde 9 zu diesem Rand 8 hin eine Hinterschneidung 17 bildet, indem die Mulde dort, wo sie dem Rand 8 am Nächsten be- nachbart ist, zum Behälterinneren hin ansteigend verläuft. Dump depth T does not increase to the next adjacent edge, namely the upper edge 8, and secondly, it is provided that the trough 9 forms an undercut 17 towards this edge 8, in that the trough is where it is adjacent to the edge 8 next , rising towards the interior of the container.
Fig. 5 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel, bei dem die Wandstärke der Wand 5 im Bereich der Mulde 9 nicht verringert ist. Die äußere Wandfläche 15 ist im Bereich der Mulde 9 nicht an die inne- re Wandfläche 14 angepresst. Vielmehr ist die Wand mit ihrer gesamten Wandstärke im Bereich der Mulde 9 verformt. Um eine große Tiefe T der Mulde 9 zu ermöglichen, ist dort, wo die Mulde 9 den benachbarten oberen Rand 8 der Wand 5 am Nächsten ist, eine Unterbrechung 18 zwischen dem Wandmaterial, wel- ches die Mulde 9 bildet und der darüber befindlichen innerenFig. 5 shows an embodiment in which the wall thickness of the wall 5 in the region of the trough 9 is not reduced. The outer wall surface 15 is not pressed against the inner wall surface 14 in the region of the trough 9. Rather, the wall is deformed with its entire wall thickness in the trough 9. In order to allow a large depth T of the trough 9, where the trough 9 is closest to the adjacent upper edge 8 of the wall 5, there is an interruption 18 between the wall material which forms the trough 9 and the inner one above
Wandfläche 14 vorgesehen. Hierzu ist in die Wand 5 ein Schnitt eingebracht worden, der parallel zum oberen Rand 8 verläuft und die obere Begrenzung der Mulde 9 bildet. Die beiden Schnittflächen, die sich durch diesen Schnitt in der Wand 5 er- geben, sind in Fig. 5 jeweils mit 19 bezeichnet. Der Deckel 7 erstreckt sich über die beiden Schnittflächen 19 hinaus weiter nach unten, um dort das Verschlusselement 12 zu tragen, welches in die Mulde 9 eingreift. Obwohl die Wand 5 bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 5 eine Unterbrechung 18 aufweist, ist das Ein- dringen von Wasser selbst bei schräg nach oben gerichtetenWall surface 14 is provided. For this purpose, a cut has been made in the wall 5, which runs parallel to the upper edge 8 and forms the upper boundary of the trough 9. The two cut surfaces which result from this cut in the wall 5 are designated in FIG. 5 by 19 in each case. The cover 7 extends beyond the two cut surfaces 19 further down to carry there the closure element 12, which engages in the trough 9. Although the wall 5 in the embodiment of Fig. 5 has an interruption 18, the penetration of water is even at obliquely upward
Wasserstrahlen, in den Innenraum des Behälters 1 kaum zu befürchten. Water jets, hardly to be feared in the interior of the container 1.
Zudem weist die Unterbrechung 18 die Möglichkeit auf, ein Ver- Schlusselement 12 des Deckels 7 den oberen Bereich der WandIn addition, the interruption 18 has the possibility of a closure element 12 of the cover 7, the upper portion of the wall
15 zu hintergreifen, so dass eine besonders zuverlässige Befes- tigung des Deckels an der Wand 5, ähnlich wie mittels des Hinterschnitts 17 der Fig. 4, auch beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 5 ermöglicht werden kann. 15 behind, so that a particularly reliable tion of the lid on the wall 5, similarly as by means of the undercut 17 of FIG. 4, also in the embodiment of FIG. 5 can be made possible.
