Definitions
- the invention relates to a folding case that contains pieces, which prevent the case's collapsing when the locking system is subjected to excessive loads and/or the mechanism is exposed to impact, and that is not deformed even after prolonged use.
- Cases with a plastic structure are used commonly in daily life. These cases are grouped into two as fixed structured cases and folding cases. The long and short sides of fixed cases cannot be detached from each other. These cases, which are considered more durable, are very hard to stack and they take up too much space. For these reasons, folding cases have been receiving increasing interest. In folding cases, generally the two short sides lock into position in the gaps between the two long sides and form a rectangular case when the long sides are in the open position. Locking mechanisms have been developed to prevent the collapsing of the cases when in use. These locking mechanisms fix the sides of the folding case in place. However, folding cases that contain a locking mechanism can still be collapsed when in use due to excessive loads, leading to spillage of their contents. In addition, the locking mechanisms of these cases can be subjected to impacts during stacking and transportation, which disable them and lead to the collapsing of the case.
- Patent application no. 2005/02815 is a representative example of the state of the art.
- This application describes a locking mechanism that is fixed in position when the cases are opened.
- This locking mechanism is indicated to function by the sliding in place of a piece on the long side into a wedge on the short side.
- the piece that has slid into place as part of the system can be dislocated and the case can be unintentionally collapsed. In such a situation the contents of the case can be spilled .
- Another example for the state of the art is the patent no. KR 20140103420 A.
- the case is described to assume the open position when the short sides' are positioned on the threaded gaps located on the long sides with a locking system.
- this structure can be compromised if the case is exposed to impact.
- the locking system can be disabled when heavy loads are carried in the case.
- the invention that is the subject matter of this application contains the following components: short side (2), long side (3), case holding recess (4), base (5), case safety pin (7), case safety pin housing (7a), male horizontal lock (8), case cover holder (9), centralizing pins (10), centralizing pin housings (10a), female lock housing (11), lock pockets (12), lock jacket beams (13), lock protection wall (14), load bearing column (15), safety housing (16), safety wall (17), male hinge (18), female hinge (19), hinge base profiles (20), female hinge housings (21) and stacking pin.
- the folding case (1) that has a protected locking mechanism that is the subject matter of this application contains two short sides (2) and two long sides (3) . When the folding case (1) is in the open position, these sides are located in a way to form a rectangular geometric structure.
- Said locking system includes lock pockets (12), female lock housing (11), centralizing pins (10), lock jacket beams (13), male horizontal lock (8), and centralizing pin housings (10a) .
- lock pockets (12), the female lock housing (11) that is between the two lock pockets (12), and the centralizing pin (10) below the lock pocket (12) which is positioned under the female lock housing (11) are on the upper side part of the side that opens first.
- the lock jacket beam (13) On the upper side part of the side that opens after this side are the lock jacket beam (13), the male horizontal lock (8) that is positioned between preferably two lock jacket beams (13) and that slides into the female lock housing (11), and the centralizing pin housing (10a) that is positioned below the male horizontal lock (8) and in which the centralizing ping (10) slides.
- the lock pockets (12), female lock housing (11), and centralizing pins (10) are positioned to be under one another and with a little gap between the two.
- the empty space between the lock pockets (12) is referred to as female lock housing (11) .
- Below the lower lock pocket (12) are a little more of a gap and then a centralization pin (10) .
- the centralization pins (10), which there are preferably two of, are positioned to be under one another and with a little gap between the two.
- a female lock housing (11) and preferably two centralization pins (10) are, in respective order and having gaps in between them, preferably two lock pockets (12), in the gap between these lock pockets (12) a female lock housing (11) and preferably two centralization pins (10) .
- a lock jacket beam (13) On the upper side part of the short side (2) is a lock jacket beam (13) . Between these lock jacket beams (13), which there are preferably two of, is a male horizontal lock (8) . This male horizontal lock (8) slides into the female lock housing (11) that is on the long side (3) when the short side (2) and long side (3) are brought to the open position. On the lower part of the lock jacket beam (13) that is located under the male horizontal lock (8) are preferably two centralizing pin housings (10a) that correspond to the two centralizing pins (10) that are on the long side (3) .
- the short side (2) on the upper part of the short side (2) are, in respective order and having gaps in between them, preferably two lock jacket beams (13), the male horizontal lock (8) that is located in the gap between these two lock jacket beams (13) , and preferably two centralizing pin housings (10a) .
- the load bearing column (15) In the section between the lower one of the two lock jacket beams (13) on the short side (2) and the lower one of the centralizing pin housings (10a) is the load bearing column (15) .
- This load bearing column (15) prevents the locking system to be exposed to load and thus from being damaged.
- the centralizing pins (10) slide into the centralizing pin housings (10a) .
- the male horizontal lock (8) slides into the female lock housing (11) .
- the short side (2) and the long side (3) become affixed to each other.
- lock protection wall (14) that covers the side of the long side (3) like a curtain. This lock protection wall (14) protects the lock system from impacts. Thus the lock system is prevented from being deformed when the case is exposed to impact or us subjected to heavy loads.
- hinge base profile (20) On sides of the base (5) of the folding case (1) are hinge base profile (20) with female hinge housings (21) on it.
- Male hinges (18) on the short sides (2) and the lower parts of the long sides (3) are located such that they would be corresponding to the female hinge housings (21) on the hinge base profile (20) .
- Male hinges (18) are shaped such that they can grasp the female hinges (19) and they would allow for the demounting of them from the hinge base profile (20) when needed.
- This safety wall (17) prevents the long side (3) from opening beyond 90°, thereby preventing the hinges from being deformed.
- On the long side (3) is a safety housing (16) in which the safety wall (17) will slide in when the long side (3) is moved into the open position.
- the safety wall (17) is prevented from protruding outward from the case body and occupying additional space, thereby making the cases easier to stack .
- the case safety pin (7) is positioned on the top of the short side (2) .
- the case safety pin (7) on the lower case that fits into the case safety pin housing (7a) on the bottom short side (2) of the top case. This prevents the toppling of the stack of folding cases (1) in case of a jolt.
- These pins are located preferably on the top corners of the short sides (2) .
- the lock pockets (12) that are integral to the structure of the invention that is the subject matter of this application fix position of the male horizontal locks (8) in the female lock housing (11) thereby preventing it from moving when subjected to heavy loads or when exposed to impacts. This allows the lock to retain its strength even under prolonged usage.
- the load bearing column (15) that is on the short side (2) prevents subjecting the case to excessive loading.
- the lock protection walls (14) on the long side (3) that cover the locking system protects the locking system against exposure to external impacts.
- the protective locking system that is integral to the structure of the invention that is the subject matter of the application protects the folding case (1) against impacts and prolongs its economic life.
- the lock protection walls (14) that encase the locking system protect the locking system.
- the safety walls (17) on the long sides (3) prevent the unintentional opening of the long sides (3) and making an angle larger than 90°.
- the male hinge (18) and the female hinge (19) that connect the long sides (3) to the base (5) are not deformed.
- deposition of burrs at the female hinge housings (21) on the female hinges (19) is prevented, to a large extent. Even if burrs form, it does not affect the movement of the hinges.
- the folding case (1) that is the subject matter of this application has a protrusion (6) below its base (5) .
- This protrusion (6) makes it easy to stack the cases.
- dimensions of the base (5) are preferably 40 X 30 cm.
- these cases can be stacked on cases with dimensions of 60 X 40 cm. That is, two cases with dimensions of 40 X 30 cm can be stacked on top of a case with dimensions of 60 X 40 cm.
- the invention is about a folding case (1) that contains a base (5), long sides (3) and short sides (2) ; and a female hinge (19) and a male hinge (18) that connect the base (5) to these sides; such that it contains a locking system located at the intersection of the short side (2) and the long side (3); a load bearing column (15) that decreases the load that this locking system is subjected to; a lock protection wall (14) that encases the locking system and protects it from external influences; female hinge housings (21) that are located on the female hinges (19) and protect the folding case (1) from being deformed due to prolonged usage; a safety wall (17) that prevents the side that is being opened during the locking procedure from being pushed too far back; a safety housing (16) in which this safety wall (17) fits when the side that is opened is being fully opened; and a protrusion (6) at the bottom of the base (5) that allows for easy stacking of the cases on top of each other.
