Description

Koffer zum Aufnehmen von Werkzeugen oder Kleinteilen  Case for picking up tools or small parts
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Koffer zum Aufnehmen von Werkzeugen oder Kleinteilen mit einem Grundkörper und einem an dem Grundkörper schwenkbar angelenkten Deckel, wobei der Grundkörper zwei Seitenwände aufweist, deren oberer Rand im geschlossenen Zustand des Deckels freiliegt, so dass der Deckel im geschlossenen Zustand zwischen den oberen Rändern der Seitenwände des Grundkörpers angeordnet ist. The invention relates to a case for receiving tools or small parts with a base body and a pivotally hinged to the body lid, wherein the main body has two side walls, the upper edge is exposed in the closed state of the lid, so that the lid in the closed state between the upper Ranges of the side walls of the base body is arranged.
Mit der Erfindung soll ein Deckel hinsichtlich seiner Abdichtung gegen Schmutz, Feuchtigkeit und Wasser verbessert werden. With the invention, a lid is to be improved in terms of its sealing against dirt, moisture and water.
Erfindungsgemäß ist hierzu ein Koffer mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 vorgesehen. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. According to the invention a suitcase with the features of claim 1 is provided for this purpose. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Bei einem Koffer zum Aufnehmen von Werkzeugen oder Kleinteilen mit einem Grundkörper und einem an dem Grundkörper schwenkbar angelenkten Deckel, wobei der Grundkörper zwei Seitenwände aufweist, deren oberer Rand im geschlossenen Zustand des Deckels freiliegt, so dass der Deckel im geschlossenen Zustand zwischen den oberen Rändern der Seitenwände des Grundkörpers angeordnet ist, ist vorgesehen, dass jede Seitenwand des Grundkörpers mit der jeweiligen Seitenwand des Deckels im geschlossenen Zustand des Koffers eine Labyrinthdichtung bildet. In a case for receiving tools or small parts with a base body and a pivotally hinged to the body lid, wherein the main body has two side walls, the upper edge is exposed in the closed state of the lid, so that the lid in the closed state between the upper edges of the Side walls of the base body is arranged, it is provided that each side wall of the base body forms a labyrinth seal with the respective side wall of the lid in the closed state of the case.
Durch Vorsehen einer Labyrinthdichtung wenigstens an den Seitenwänden des Deckels kann eine zuverlässige und dabei einfach herstellbare Abdichtung realisiert werden. Zweckmäßigerweise werden sowohl der Deckel als auch der Grundkörper des Koffers als Kunststoffspritzgussteile ausgeführt. Die Realisierung einer Labyrinthdichtung ist dann problemlos möglich. Das Vorsehen einer Labyrinthdichtung hat den Vorteil, dass eine Dichtwirkung sogar ohne zusätzliche elastische Dichtungen erzielt werden kann. Die Abdichtwirkung ist damit unabhängig von der exakten Platzierung einer Dichtung sowie unabhängig von deren Elastizität. Gerade bei Koffern für Werkzeuge oder Kleinteile für den rauen Baustellenbetrieb ist dies von großem Vorteil, da elastische Dichtungen einem Alterungsprozess unterliegen sowie auch vergleichsweise schnell und leicht durch Sonneneinstrahlung, Hitze oder mechanische Einwirkung beschädigt werden können. By providing a labyrinth seal at least on the side walls of the lid, a reliable and easy to manufacture seal can be realized. Conveniently, both the lid and the main body of the case are designed as plastic injection molded parts. The realization of a labyrinth seal is then easily possible. The provision of a labyrinth seal has the advantage that a sealing effect can be achieved even without additional elastic seals. The sealing effect is thus independent of the exact placement of a seal and regardless of their elasticity. Especially with suitcases for tools or small parts for rough construction site operation, this is of great advantage, since elastic seals are subject to aging and also relatively quickly and easily damaged by sunlight, heat or mechanical action.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung bilden eine Rückwand des Deckels mit einer Rückwand des Grundkörpers und eine Vorderwand des Deckels mit einer Vorderwand des Grundkörpers je- weils eine Labyrinthdichtung, so dass die Labyrinthdichtung um eine mittels des Deckels verschlossene Öffnung des Koffers vollständig umläuft. In a development of the invention, a rear wall of the cover with a rear wall of the main body and a front wall of the cover with a front wall of the main body form each because a labyrinth seal, so that the labyrinth seal completely revolves around a closed by means of the lid opening of the case.
Mittels einer umlaufenden Labyrinthdichtung lässt sich der Koffer besonders zuverlässig gegen Eindringen von Schmutz, Feuchtigkeit und Wasser abdichten. By means of a circumferential labyrinth seal, the case can be sealed particularly reliably against the ingress of dirt, moisture and water.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Labyrinthdichtung mittels einer im Querschnitt U-förmigen Ausnehmung und eines in die U-förmige Ausnehmung hineinragenden Stegs gebildet. Die U- förmige Ausnehmung öffnet sich zweckmäßigerweise in Schließrichtung des Deckels. Die U- förmige Ausnehmung an den Seitenwänden des Koffers oder des Deckels ist somit in einem Querschnitt parallel zu einer Vorderwand des Koffers U-förmig ausgebildet und die U-förmige Ausnehmung an einer Vorderwand bzw. Hinterwand des Grundkörpers oder Deckels ist im Querschnitt parallel zu einer Seitenwand des Koffers U-förmig ausgebildet. In a further development of the invention, the labyrinth seal is formed by means of a cross-sectionally U-shaped recess and a protruding into the U-shaped recess web. The U-shaped recess expediently opens in the closing direction of the lid. The U-shaped recess on the side walls of the case or lid is thus U-shaped in a cross-section parallel to a front wall of the case and the U-shaped recess on a front wall or rear wall of the main body or lid is parallel to a in cross section Sidewall of the case U-shaped.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die U-förmige Ausnehmung am Deckel und der Steg an dem Dichtabschnitt der Seitenwände des Grundkörpers vorgesehen. In a further development of the invention, the U-shaped recess on the cover and the web is provided on the sealing portion of the side walls of the base body.
Indem die U-förmige Ausnehmung am Deckel vorgesehen ist, kann eventuell in der U-förmigen Ausnehmung des Deckels enthaltener Schmutz bereits beim Schließen des Deckels aus der U- förmigen Ausnehmung herausfallen. By the U-shaped recess is provided on the lid, dirt contained in the U-shaped recess of the lid may fall out of the U-shaped recess already when closing the lid.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die U-förmige Ausnehmung an ihrem Grund mit einer elastischen Dichtung versehen. In a further development of the invention, the U-shaped recess is provided at its base with an elastic seal.
Indem die elastische Dichtung am Grund der U-förmigen Ausnehmung angeordnet ist, ist diese sowohl gegen Sonneneinstrahlung als auch gegen mechanische Beschädigung gut geschützt. Die Haltbarkeit der Dichtung kann dadurch verlängert werden. By the elastic seal is arranged at the bottom of the U-shaped recess, this is well protected against both solar radiation and against mechanical damage. The durability of the seal can be extended.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung bildet eine der mit dem Deckel verschließbaren Öffnung des Grundkörpers zugewandte Innenfläche der Seitenwand des Grundkörpers mit einer Außenfläche der Seitenwand des Deckels eine Fortsetzung der Labyrinthdichtung. In a further development of the invention, one of the lid closable opening of the base body facing the inner surface of the side wall of the base body with an outer surface of the side wall of the lid forms a continuation of the labyrinth seal.
Im Bereich der Seitenwände des Grundkörpers, deren oberer Rand im geschlossenen Zustand des Deckels freiliegt, kann dadurch eine Fortsetzung der Labyrinthdichtung und eine noch bessere Abdichtung erzielt werden. An seiner Vorderseite und Rückseite ist der Deckel im geschlossenen Zustand vergleichsweise steif an den Grundkörper angebunden, einmal durch ein Scharnier und einmal durch einen Verschluss des Koffers. Im Bereich der Seitenwände hält die Steifigkeit des Deckels diesen gegen die Seitenwände des Grundkörpers. Der Bereich der seitlichen Seitenwände ist in Bezug auf eine Abdichtung des Koffers daher generell kritisch. Eine Fortsetzung der Labyrinthdichtung mittels der Seitenwände des Grundkörpers ist dadurch äußerst vorteilhaft, um eine rundum sichere Abdichtung des Koffers bereitzustellen. In the region of the side walls of the base body, the upper edge of which is exposed in the closed state of the lid, thereby a continuation of the labyrinth seal and an even better seal can be achieved. At its front and back, the lid is relatively rigidly connected to the body in the closed state, once by a hinge and once by a closure of the case. In the area of the side walls holds the Stiffness of the lid this against the side walls of the body. The area of the lateral sidewalls is therefore generally critical with respect to a seal of the suitcase. A continuation of the labyrinth seal by means of the side walls of the base body is thereby extremely advantageous in order to provide an all-round secure seal of the case.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung bilden die Innenfläche der Seitenwand des Grundkörpers und die Außenfläche der Seitenwand des Deckels Begrenzungen einer zur Vorderseite und zur Rückseite des Grundkörpers hin offenen Nut. In a further development of the invention, the inner surface of the side wall of the base body and the outer surface of the side wall of the lid form boundaries of a groove open towards the front and the back of the base body.
Eine solche Nut setzt die Labyrinthdichtung zwischen dem Deckel und dem Grundkörper fort. Such a groove continues the labyrinth seal between the lid and the body.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Seitenwand des Grundkörpers im Bereich des Übergangs zum Nutgrund der mit der Außenfläche der Seitenwand des Deckels gebildeten Nut außen mit Ablauflöchern versehen. In a further development of the invention, the side wall of the main body in the region of the transition to the groove bottom of the groove formed with the outer surface of the side wall of the lid is provided on the outside with drain holes.
Mittels solcher Ablauflöcher kann eventuell in die Nut eingedrungenes Wasser rasch abfließen. Die Nut ist zweckmäßigerweise zur Rückwand und zur Vorderwand des Koffers hin offen. Das Vorsehen der zusätzlichen Ablauflöcher verhindert dadurch zuverlässig, dass Wasser in der Nut stehenbleibt. By means of such drain holes may eventually drain into the groove penetrated water quickly. The groove is suitably open to the rear wall and the front wall of the suitcase. The provision of the additional drainage holes thereby reliably prevents water from staying in the groove.
Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Ansprüchen und der folgenden Beschreibung einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung im Zusammenhang mit den Zeichnungen. In den Zeichnungen zeigen: Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the claims and the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention taken in conjunction with the drawings.

Fig. 1 zeigt in einer seitlichen Ansicht von schräg oben einen erfindungsgemäßen Koffer 10, der einen Grundkörper 12 und einen schwenkbar am Grundkörper 12 angelenkten Deckel 14 aufweist. Ein Schwenkscharnier 16, das den Grundkörper 12 und den Deckel 14 verbindet, ist in Fig. 1 rechts angeordnet. Der Deckel 14 ist in dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten vollständig geschlossenen Zustand innerhalb der Seitenwände 18 des Grundkörpers 12 angeordnet. Mit anderen Worten bedeutet dies, dass der jeweilige obere Rand der Seitenwände 18 des Grundkörpers im vollständig geschlossenen Zustand des Deckels 14 freiliegt. Eine solche innenliegende Anordnung des Deckels 14 ist beispielsweise dann vorteilhaft, wenn der Koffer 10 stapelbar sein soll. Beim Stapeln mehrerer Koffer 10 greift ein unterer Rand der Seitenwände 18 des Koffers 10 in den oberen Rand der Seitenwand eines weiteren Koffers ein. Auch wenn zahlreiche Koffer gestapelt sind, wird der Deckel 14 hierdurch nicht belastet. Vor allem kann ein Stapel aus mehreren Koffern 10 dann sehr stabil ausgebildet werden, da die Stabilität des Stapels nur durch die Grundkörper 12 der mehreren Koffer, nicht aber durch die Deckel 14 bestimmt ist. Da der Deckel durch die jeweiligen oberen Ränder der Seitenwände 18 auch geschützt ist, hält der Deckel 14 zuverlässig im geschlossenen Zustand auch dann, wenn der Koffer 10 beispielsweise herabfällt und im Bereich des oberen Rands einer Seitenwand 18 am Boden aufkommt. Fig. 1 shows in a side view obliquely from above a suitcase 10 according to the invention, which has a base body 12 and a pivotally hinged to the base body 12 cover 14. A pivoting hinge 16, which connects the main body 12 and the cover 14, is arranged on the right in FIG. The lid 14 is arranged in the fully closed state shown in Fig. 1 within the side walls 18 of the body 12. In other words, this means that the respective upper edge of the side walls 18 of the main body is exposed in the fully closed state of the lid 14. Such an internal arrangement of the lid 14 is for example advantageous if the case 10 is to be stackable. When stacking a plurality of cases 10, a lower edge of the side walls 18 of the case 10 engages in the upper edge of the side wall of another suitcase. Even if many cases are stacked, the lid 14 is not burdened by this. Above all, a stack of several suitcases 10 can then be made very stable, since the stability of the stack is determined only by the base body 12 of the plurality of cases, but not by the lid 14. Since the lid is also protected by the respective upper edges of the side walls 18, the lid 14 reliably holds in the closed state, even if the case 10 falls down, for example, and comes up in the region of the upper edge of a side wall 18 at the bottom.
Die Darstellung der Fig. 2 zeigt den Koffer 10 der Fig. 1 bei vollständig geöffnetem Deckel 14. Es ist bereits in der Darstellung der Fig. 2 zu erkennen, dass der Deckel 14 an seinem äußeren Rand eine umlaufende U-förmige Ausnehmung 19 aufweist. Diese U-förmige Ausnehmung 19 ist im vollständig geöffneten Zustand des Deckels 14 zu erkennen, im geschlossenen Zustand des Deckels 14 nimmt sie einen um die Öffnung des Grundkörpers 12 umlaufenden Steg 20 auf. Im vollständig geschlossenen Zustand des Deckels 14 bilden die U-förmige Ausnehmung 19 und der in die U-förmige Ausnehmung 19 eingreifende Steg 20 dann eine Labyrinthdichtung. Diese umlaufende Labyrinthdichtung verhindert zuverlässig das Eindringen von Schmutz, Feuchtigkeit und Wasser in den Innenraum des Koffers 10. 2 shows the case 10 of FIG. 1 with the lid 14 fully open. It can already be seen in the representation of FIG. 2 that the lid 14 has a circumferential U-shaped recess 19 at its outer edge. This U-shaped recess 19 can be seen in the fully opened state of the lid 14, in the closed state of the lid 14, it takes on a circumferential around the opening of the base 12 web 20. In die Öffnung 20 des Deckels 14 ist ein Scharnierelement 14 vorgesehen. In the fully closed state of the lid 14 form the U-shaped recess 19 and the engaging in the U-shaped recess 19 web 20 then a labyrinth seal. This circumferential labyrinth seal reliably prevents the ingress of dirt, moisture and water into the interior of the case 10.
Die Darstellung der Fig. 3 zeigt einen vergrößerten Ausschnitt der Fig. 2, nämlich im Bereich der schwenkbaren Anlenkung des Deckels 14 an den Grundkörper 12. In dieser vergrößerten Darstellung ist die U-förmige Ausnehmung 19 am Deckel 14 zu erkennen, die zwischen einem umlaufenden äußeren Steg 22 und einem ebenfalls umlaufenden inneren Steg 24 ausgebildet ist. Ebenfalls zu erkennen ist der umlaufende Steg 20 am Grundkörper 12. 2, namely in the region of the pivotable articulation of the lid 14 to the base body 12. In this enlarged view, the U-shaped recess 19 can be seen on the lid 14, which between a circumferential outer web 22 and a likewise circumferential inner web 24 is formed. Also visible is the circumferential ridge 20 on the base body 12th
Die Darstellung der Fig. 4 zeigt den Koffer 10 der Fig. 2 aus einem anderen Blickwinkel von schräg oben. Wieder ist der umlaufende Steg 20 am Grundkörper 12 zu erkennen. The illustration of Fig. 4 shows the case 10 of FIG. 2 from a different angle from above. Again, the circumferential ridge 20 can be seen on the base body 12.
Weiter ist Fig. 4 zu entnehmen, dass der obere Rand der seitlichen Seitenwände 18a, 18b des Grundkörpers 12 zusammen mit dem umlaufenden Steg 20 im Bereich der Seitenwände 18a, 18b des Koffers jeweils eine Nut bildet, die zur Vorderseite und zur Rückseite des Koffers hin offen ist. In dieser Nut wird der äußere umlaufende Steg 22 des Deckels 14 angeordnet. Die Außenfläche des Stegs 22 bildet im geschlossenen Zustand des Deckels 14 somit mit der Innenfläche des oberen Rands der Seitenwände 18a, 18b jeweils eine Fortsetzung der Labyrinthdichtung. 4, it can be seen that the upper edge of the lateral side walls 18a, 18b of the main body 12 together with the circumferential web 20 in the region of the side walls 18a, 18b of the suitcase in each case forms a groove facing the front and the back of the suitcase is open. In this groove, the outer circumferential ridge 22 of the lid 14 is arranged. The outer surface of the web 22 thus forms in the closed state of the lid 14 with the inner surface of the upper edge of the side walls 18a, 18b each a continuation of the labyrinth seal.
Der vergrößerten Einzelheit der Fig. 5 aus Fig. 4 ist zu entnehmen, dass die seitlichen Seitenwände 18a, 18b mit Ablauflöchern 26 versehen sind, die den Grund der Nut zwischen den jeweiligen Innenflächen der Seitenwände 18 und den Außenflächen des Stegs 22 mit der Umgebung außerhalb des Koffers verbinden. Über die Ablauflöcher 26 kann diese Nut dadurch schnell und zuverlässig entwässert werden. The enlarged detail of Fig. 5 of Fig. 4 it can be seen that the lateral side walls 18a, 18b are provided with drain holes 26, the bottom of the groove between the respective inner surfaces of the side walls 18 and the outer surfaces of the web 22 with the outside connect the suitcase. Through the drain holes 26, this groove can be dewatered quickly and reliably.
Die Darstellung der Fig. 6 zeigt den geschlossenen Koffer 10 der Fig. 1 in einer Draufsicht. Gut zu erkennen ist, dass die Nut zwischen dem oberen Rand der Seitenwände 18 und dem Steg 22, der die seitliche Begrenzung des Deckels 14 bildet, zur Vorderseite des Koffers und zur Rückseite des Koffers hin offen ist, siehe die Stellen 28, 30. An diesen Stellen 28, 30 kann Wasser aus dieser Nut herausfließen. Die Ablauföffnungen 26, die diese Nut ebenfalls entwässern, sind in der Darstellung der Fig. 6 lediglich angedeutet. The illustration of FIG. 6 shows the closed case 10 of FIG. 1 in a plan view. Good to see that the groove between the upper edge of the side walls 18 and the web 22, which forms the lateral boundary of the lid 14 to the front of the case and the back of the suitcase is open, see the points 28, 30th In these places 28, 30 water can flow out of this groove. The drainage openings 26, which also drain this groove, are merely indicated in the illustration of FIG. 6.
Die Darstellung der Fig. 7 zeigt eine Ansicht auf die Schnittebene Vll-Vll in Fig. 6. Zu erkennen ist, wie der umlaufende Steg 20, der die Öffnung des Grundkörpers 12 umgibt, in die U-förmige Ausnehmung am Deckel 14 eingreift und dadurch zwischen dem Deckel 14 und dem Grundkörper 12 im Bereich einer Rückwand 21 und einer Vorderwand 23 des Koffers 10 im geschlossenen Zustand eine Labyrinthdichtung realisiert. The illustration of FIG. 7 shows a view of the sectional plane Vll-VII in Fig. 6. It can be seen how the circumferential ridge 20, which surrounds the opening of the base body 12, engages in the U-shaped recess on the cover 14 and thereby realized between the lid 14 and the base body 12 in the region of a rear wall 21 and a front wall 23 of the case 10 in the closed state, a labyrinth seal.
Die Darstellung der Fig. 8 zeigt eine Ansicht auf die Schnittebene Vlll-Vlll in Fig. 6. Auch Fig. 8 ist zu entnehmen, wie der um die Öffnung des Grundkörpers 12 umlaufende Steg 20 in die U- förmige Ausnehmung am Deckel 14 eingreift und dadurch im Bereich der Seitenwände 18a, 18b des Koffers 10 eine Labyrinthdichtung realisiert. Die Darstellung der Fig. 9 zeigt die Einzelheit IX aus Fig. 8 vergrößert. Zwischen dem inneren Steg 24 und dem äußeren Steg 26 des Deckels 14 ist die U-förmige Nut ausgebildet, in die sich der Steg 20, der um die Öffnung des Grundkörpers 12 umläuft, hineinerstreckt. Am Grund dieser Nut ist in den Deckel 14 eine Dichtung 30 eingespritzt, auf der die Oberkante des Stegs 20 aufliegt. Zusätzlich zu der Labyrinthdichtung wird somit mittels der Dichtung 30 und der Oberkante des Stegs 20 eine weitere Abdichtwirkung erzielt. Die Dichtung 30 läuft wie die Stege 24, 26 um den gesamten Umfang des Deckels 14 um. Innerhalb der U-förmigen Ausnehmung ist die Dichtung 30 gegen Sonneneinstrahlung und mechanische Beschädigung geschützt untergebracht. FIG. 8 also shows how the web 20, which runs around the opening of the basic body 12, engages in the U-shaped recess on the cover 14, and FIG characterized realized in the region of the side walls 18a, 18b of the case 10, a labyrinth seal. The illustration of FIG. 9 shows the detail IX of FIG. 8 enlarged. Between the inner web 24 and the outer web 26 of the lid 14, the U-shaped groove is formed, in which the web 20, which rotates about the opening of the base body 12, hineinerstreckt. At the bottom of this groove in the lid 14, a seal 30 is injected, on which the upper edge of the web 20 rests. In addition to the labyrinth seal thus a further sealing effect is achieved by means of the seal 30 and the upper edge of the web 20. The seal 30 runs around like the webs 24, 26 to the entire circumference of the lid 14. Within the U-shaped recess, the seal 30 is housed protected against solar radiation and mechanical damage.
Fig. 9 ist weiter zu entnehmen, dass eine in Fig. 9 rechts liegende Außenfläche des Stegs 20 mit dem oberen Rand der Seitenwand 18a des Grundkörpers 12 eine weitere U-förmige Ausnehmung bildet, in die sich der Steg 26 des Deckels 14 hineinerstreckt. Wie bereits ausgeführt wurde, wird dadurch die Labyrinthdichtung zwischen dem Steg 20 und dem Deckel 14 fortgesetzt. Der Koffer 10 ist, siehe Fig. 8, an der gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand 18b in gleicher Weise aufgebaut. FIG. 9 further shows that an outer surface of the web 20 lying to the right in FIG. 9 forms, with the upper edge of the side wall 18a of the base body 12, a further U-shaped recess into which the web 26 of the cover 14 extends. As already stated, this will continue the labyrinth seal between the web 20 and the lid 14. The case 10, see Fig. 8, constructed on the opposite side wall 18b in the same way.
Fig. 9 ist weiter zu entnehmen, dass im dargestellten vollständig geschlossenen Zustand des Deckels eine Unterkante des Stegs 26 des Deckels 14 am Grund der U-förmigen Nut zwischen dem Steg 20 und dem oberen Rand der Seitenwand 18a anliegt. Eine vollständig geschlossene Position des Deckels ist dadurch exakt definiert und speziell muss nicht befürchtet werden, dass die Dichtung 30 zu stark zusammengepresst wird und dadurch im Laufe der Zeit ihre Elastizität verliert. Fig. 9 it can be seen further that in the illustrated fully closed state of the lid, a lower edge of the web 26 of the lid 14 abuts the bottom of the U-shaped groove between the web 20 and the upper edge of the side wall 18 a. A completely closed position of the lid is thereby defined exactly, and in particular there is no need to fear that the seal 30 will be compressed too much and thus lose its elasticity over time.
