Definitions
- the present invention relates to a portable food container with a plate-shaped bottom part and a bottom-mounted hood, with the bottom part are each connected via a fixed pivot axis movable locking elements, the bottom part and the hood are connected to each other with the locking elements, wherein the locking elements to the associated pivot axis are pivotable back and forth between an open position and a locking position, the respective pivot axis is located between the ends of the associated locking element, a first end of a respective locking element remote from the pivot axis is an actuating surface, and the opposite second end is formed as a locking body ,
- the locking elements block in their locking position with the locking body formed at the second end a lifting movement of the hood from the bottom part, and di e locking elements are in the locking position via formed on the locking elements contact surfaces with corresponding contact surfaces on the hood non-positively and / or positively engaged.
- a generic food container is from the Scriptures DE 20 2010 001 881 U1 known. Such food containers are used for the transport of cakes, cakes, pastries, but also other foods such as cheese, bread, salad and the like. Some of these foods are very sensitive to acting forces and must therefore be well and safely shielded in the transport container become. It is advantageous if, if possible, no components of the transported food reach the outside during transport, such as liquids.
- the hood must be set exactly in the appropriate fit.
- the locking elements disclosed there must then be pressed by hand into the locking position. Because the locking bodies have only a small spatial dimension, the contact surfaces must be positioned exactly to each other. This does not always work in the first attempt, so that several attempts are required to lock a hood securely. In addition, because a large force can be applied to the comparatively small locking body over the large actuating surface, there is the risk that the locking body in the contact area are overloaded, deform and leach. Then the hood is not secure lockable.
- the object is achieved for a generic food container by the actuating surface of a respective locking element is formed on the inwardly facing the bearing surface of the bottom part side of the pivot axis, the bottom part at least in the region of a respective locking element has a receiving space into which a at the bottom edge of the Hood trained, downwardly facing actuating lug can be lowered along a Einsenkweg along, designed as an actuating surface formed first end of a respective locking element so far into the receiving space, that it extends from the open position into the locking position in the Einsenkweg the actuating lug in the receiving space, the first end his open position by a pivoting movement about the associated pivot axis down around in the locking position is movable, and the first end as a lever arm after the impact of the actuating lug on the actuating surface in a continued Einsenkterrorism the actuating lug on Einernweg along from this from the open position down in the Locking position is movable, with the pivoting movement of the first end
- the locking elements Due to the inventive design of the locking elements, it is possible to lock by simply placing the hood on the bottom part of the locking elements.
- the locking takes place via the lifting movement, which execute the operating lugs on the hood in the receiving space along along the Einsenkweges when placing the hood on the bottom part.
- the lifting movement of the actuating lugs triggers pivoting movements of the locking elements, in the course of which they are pivoted from the open position into their locking positions. It does not matter whether the transport container is round, oval or with several corners.
- the locking elements can be attached to any desired Container mold are mounted at suitable positions, preferably at least two, three or four locking elements.
- the contact surfaces on the actuating lugs and the locking elements can be formed correspondingly large depending on the width and circumferential extent of the receiving space.
- the larger areas allow a low specific load of a unit area, as is the case in the device known from the prior art. Due to the lower specific load of a surface unit resulting in less material wear, larger sized components, better positioning of the hood on the bottom part, a lower deformation of the locking elements with an acting locking force and the resulting a defined locking behavior.
- the hood and the locking elements can not solve so easily unintentionally from the locking position, because the locking elements would have to raise the hood during an opening movement, so that they are even out can move out of their locking position.
- the weight of the attached hood and the frictional forces that result from the installation of the hood on surface parts of the bottom part so provide additional security that the hood does not move out of the locked position during transport of the transport container.
- the pivoting movements that perform the locking elements in a locking process can also be checked visually during a Aufsetzvorgangs the hood.
- the Zurich- and locking operation of the hood is completed, without the need for further manipulation. If this is not the case, the hood can be removed immediately to check whether there are any foreign bodies in the Einwegweg of the hood in the receiving space.
- the locking elements in their locking position surround the lower and outer edge of the hood from the outside with its second end.
- the locking elements form in this way a part of the outer periphery and the outer surface of the transport container.
- the locking elements can for this purpose have a particularly convenient shape, which is adapted to a hand engaging the locking elements.
- the locking elements can laterally over form the outer periphery of the hood body and the bottom part protruding carrying handles on which the transport container can be detected and carried.
- a gripping edge is formed on the second end of a respective locking element, on which the locking elements can be detected and each manually moved from the locking position to the open position.
- the grip edge is formed so that it extends exactly or at least approximately parallel to the pivot axis at a distance to this and along the pivot axis.
- a locking body can be pivoted from the locking position in the direction of the open position.
- the grip edge is in the locking position of the locking element at least about finderdick on the surrounding outer surface of the hood and / or the bottom part.
- a contact surface for the fingers which undercuts the uppermost edge may be formed, so that the fingers can not slip off so easily when pulling on the locking element.
- locking lugs are formed on the locking elements and / or on the hood in the region of the contact surfaces, which engage in the pivotal movement of the locking elements in the locking position in corresponding locking lugs of an adjacent component and thereby set the locking elements in the locking position form-fitting.
- the latching lugs are preferably located on the inside of the locking elements in the region of the second end. There, the second end can be easily raised when opening the locking element and the locking lug are guided over the associated locking lug of the corresponding component to cancel the lock by the latch again.
- the actuating lug is formed as a extending in the direction of the Einsenkweges web extending downwardly facing away from the lower peripheral edge of the hood, and the lower peripheral edge of the hood has in the locking area with a locking element at least approximately or exactly in a direction transverse to the Einsenkweg extending support web on the outwardly facing end face in the locking position of the hood, a portion of the bottom part abuts, which is connected to the pivot axis, and on the upper side contact surfaces are formed, where the contact surfaces of a locking element abut in its locking position.
- the bridge is well suited to actuating forces from the lowering movement of the hood to the first end of the locking element transfer.
- the web extends at least in part over the distance that the first and second ends of a locking element have to each other.
- the bridge also supports the support bar in the locking position downwards.
- the support web extends in the radial direction of the bottom part outwardly across the receiving space.
- the support bar is supported in the locking position with its outwardly facing end face of the portion of the bottom portion in the transverse direction inwardly from, which is connected to the pivot axis.
- the web, the support web, the first and second ends of a locking element and formed in the bottom part pivot axis with its support in the bottom part form a geometry in the locking position, in which these parts support each other backlash and fix the locking element firmly and securely in the locked position ,
- the lock can only be repealed by the second end of the locking element with its contact surfaces and / or - depending on the version - lifted and pivoted away with a detent by a pivoting movement of the contact surfaces on the support web, thereby the support web upwards of the Section of the bottom part, which is connected to the pivot axis, can be removed and then only the web with the first end of the locking element in contact before the located on the hood web is lifted against the Einsenkcardi along the Einsenkweges from the receiving space.
- the locking is made particularly stable after a Einsenkterrorism the web into the receiving space only when the end face of the support web engages with the corresponding contact surface of the bottom part, which is connected to the pivot axis.
- the receiving space for receiving the web is also formed outside the extension of the locking elements on the bottom part, the support web is in this area in the locking position of the hood with its end face on the inside of the wall of the receiving space and the web is in this Area in the locking position of the hood with its bottom on the bottom of the receiving space.
- the hood is also supported outside the areas where the hood is connected via the locking elements with the bottom part, via the web and the support bar on the bottom part, results in a very rigid connection, in which the transport container even when unevenly on him acting loads only slightly twisted. Again, the web and the support bar act in different directions of force to absorb acting loads.
- the receiving space on the outside revolves around a substantial part of the bottom part or the entire bottom part, it can also good liquids are collected therein, which emerge from the transported in the transport container food, such as cream or juice from a cake.
- the web and the support bar then form a kind of barriers that hinder the free leakage of fluids.
- the space between the web and the support web and the receiving space itself is then a channel in which at one point in the receiving space entering liquid can be distributed over its length before the liquid exits to the outside. Even if the web and the crossbar do not have to be completely sealed, they form in each case an additional barrier in the receiving space, which prevents the liquid from escaping to the outside.
- the locking elements are connected via a formed in the respective locking element pivot locking device with the pivot axis.
- the locking elements of the swivel locking device allow a simple clipping of the locking elements on the stub axles of the pivot axes in the bottom part.
- the locking elements can thereafter, for example, for cleaning purposes, also relatively easily withdrawn. But they are held firmly enough on the pivot axis to fill the locking function can.
- the tabs of the pivot locking elements are dimensioned according to their material and the material thickness accordingly.
- the surfaces of the locking elements, the hood and / or the bottom part are provided in grip-relevant areas with a soft plastic.
- soft plastic is meant materials which, in relation to the rest of the material used for the transport container, provide a softer, more comfortable grip.
- the provided with the soft plastic surface parts also give a valuable impression of the product.
- the areas exported in the soft plastic also signal where the transport container can be best handled.
- a releasably connected Resentierplatte is placed on the bottom part.
- the presentation plate can be lifted off the bottom part to release the food positioned thereon from the bottom part and to present its connection technology on a footprint.
- the presentation board can be designed visually particularly valuable, for example, by an inserted in-mold label that makes a valuable impression, such as a wood, stone or marble or porcelain decor, or be made directly from one of these materials, or other for the presentation of foods show suitable representations, such as fruits, bread articles, herbs or the like.
- the presentation board can be retrofittable and / or interchangeable, so that in a product package, for example, a set of a bottom part and a hood are sold combined with several differently shaped presentation boards.
- the presentation plates can also be purchased separately and combined with the transport container.
- the presentation plate may have separate formations, for example for muffins, they may have cutting grooves to facilitate the cutting of, for example, pies, or there may be air holes formed in the surface, also to dissipate liquids down.
- a cavity is formed between the presentation board and the bottom part.
- the cavity allows for an increased presentation level of the food placed on the presentation board.
- the cavity can also be used to carry cutlery, napkins and decorations for the food.
- a food container 2 which is essentially composed of a bottom part 4 and a cap 6 can be placed thereon prevent the hood 6 unintentionally dissolves during transport, the bottom part 4 with the hood 6 via the locking elements 8 can be locked together. With a secure locking of the food container 2 can also be worn on its located in the hood 6 carrying handle.
- the locking elements 8 are each pivotable about a pivot axis 10. To pivot the locking elements 8, the hood 6 is lowered with the located on the bottom edge of the hood 6 operating lugs 18 on each of the first end of a locking element 8 located actuating surface 12. Upon further lowering of the hood 6 along a Einsenkweges in the receiving space 16 into the respective actuating lug 18 presses its associated actuating surface 12 of a locking element 8 down. By the downward movement of the actuating surface 12 at the first end of the locking element 8, this pivots about the pivot axis 10 around, with the second end of the respective locking element pivots from the open position in the direction of the locking position.
- the locking elements 8 have reached their locking position by the respective pivoting movements about the pivot axes 10 in which they secure the hood 6 against unwanted lifting of the bottom part 4.
- the locking elements 8 can be detected at the grip edge 20 and pulled in the radial direction to the outside.
- the hood 6 is raised above the actuating surfaces 12 formed on the first end, so that they can easily be lifted off the bottom part 4 again after the pivoting elements 8 have been pivoted away from the locking position.
- a separate presentation plate 22 is placed on the actual bottom part 4 in the exemplary embodiment.
- the presentation board 22 can be lifted off the bottom part 4 in order to be able to present foodstuffs located on the presentation board 22 independently of the bottom part 4.
- the presentation board 22 is already simpler in shape and thus visually appealing than the bottom part 4, on which the locking elements 8 are attached.
- the presentation board 22 may have additional functional or design elements, such as surface cut guides or in-mold optical enhancement labels.

Ein gattungsgemäßer Lebensmittelbehälter ist aus der Schrift
Wenn das Bodenteil mit der Haube abgedeckt werden soll, muss die Haube genau in die dafür vorgesehene Passung eingestellt werden. Die dort offenbarten Verriegelungselemente müssen dann von Hand in die Verriegelungsstellung gedrückt werden. Weil die Verriegelungskörper nur eine geringe räumliche Dimension aufweisen, müssen die Kontaktflächen genau zueinander positioniert werden. Das klappt nicht immer im ersten Anlauf, so dass mehrere Versuche erforderlich werden, um eine Haube sicher zu verriegeln. Weil zudem über die große Betätigungsfläche eine große Kraft auf den vergleichsweise kleinen Verriegelungskörper aufgebracht werden kann, besteht das Risiko, dass die Verriegelungskörper im Kontaktbereich überlastet werden, sich verformen und ausleiern. Dann ist die Haube nicht mehr sicher verriegelbar.If the floor part is to be covered with the hood, the hood must be set exactly in the appropriate fit. The locking elements disclosed there must then be pressed by hand into the locking position. Because the locking bodies have only a small spatial dimension, the contact surfaces must be positioned exactly to each other. This does not always work in the first attempt, so that several attempts are required to lock a hood securely. In addition, because a large force can be applied to the comparatively small locking body over the large actuating surface, there is the risk that the locking body in the contact area are overloaded, deform and leach. Then the hood is not secure lockable.
Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die Bedienung und Handhabung des Lebensmittelbehälters zu vereinfachen.It is the object of the present invention to simplify the operation and handling of the food container.
Die Aufgabe wird für einen gattungsgemäßen Lebensmittelbehälter gelöst, indem die Betätigungsfläche eines jeweiligen Verriegelungselements auf der nach innen zur Auflagefläche des Bodenteils weisenden Seite der Schwenkachse ausgebildet ist, das Bodenteil zumindest im Bereich eines jeweiligen Verriegelungselements einen Aufnahmeraum aufweist, in den eine an dem bodenseitigen Rand der Haube ausgebildete, nach unten weisende Betätigungsnase an einem Einsenkweg entlang einsenkbar ist, das als Betätigungsfläche ausgebildete erste Ende eines jeweiligen Verriegelungselements so weit in den Aufnahmeraum hineinragt, dass es von der Offenstellung bis in die Verriegelungsstellung in den Einsenkweg der Betätigungsnase in den Aufnahmeraum hineinreicht, das erste Ende aus seiner Offenstellung durch eine Verschwenkbewegung um die zugehörige Schwenkachse herum nach unten in dessen Verriegelungsstellung beweglich ist, und das erste Ende als Hebelarm nach dem Auftreffen der Betätigungsnase auf die Betätigungsfläche bei einer fortgesetzten Einsenkbewegung der Betätigungsnase am Einsenkweg entlang von dieser aus der Offenstellung nach unten in dessen Verriegelungsstellung beweglich ist, wobei mit der Verschwenkbewegung des ersten Endes des jeweiligen Verriegelungselements auch das zweite Ende dieses Verriegelungselements von der Offenstellung in die Verriegelungsstellung verschwenkt ist.The object is achieved for a generic food container by the actuating surface of a respective locking element is formed on the inwardly facing the bearing surface of the bottom part side of the pivot axis, the bottom part at least in the region of a respective locking element has a receiving space into which a at the bottom edge of the Hood trained, downwardly facing actuating lug can be lowered along a Einsenkweg along, designed as an actuating surface formed first end of a respective locking element so far into the receiving space, that it extends from the open position into the locking position in the Einsenkweg the actuating lug in the receiving space, the first end his open position by a pivoting movement about the associated pivot axis down around in the locking position is movable, and the first end as a lever arm after the impact of the actuating lug on the actuating surface in a continued Einsenkbewegung the actuating lug on Einernweg along from this from the open position down in the Locking position is movable, with the pivoting movement of the first end of the respective locking element and the second end of this locking element is pivoted from the open position to the locking position.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Verriegelungselemente ist es möglich, durch bloßes Aufsetzen der Haube auf das Bodenteil die Verriegelungselemente zu verriegeln. Die Verriegelung erfolgt über die Hubbewegung, die die Betätigungsnasen an der Haube in den Aufnahmeraum hinein entlang des Einsenkweges beim Aufsetzen der Haube auf das Bodenteil ausführen. Die Hubbewegung der Betätigungsnasen löst Schwenkbewegungen der Verriegelungselemente aus, in deren Verlauf diese von der Offenstellung in ihre Verriegelungsstellungen verschwenkt werden. Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, ob der Transportbehälter rund, oval oder mit mehreren Ecken ausgeführt ist. Die Verriegelungselemente können an jeder gewünschten Behälterform an geeigneten Positionen angebracht werden, und zwar bevorzugt mindestens zwei, drei oder vier Verriegelungselemente.Due to the inventive design of the locking elements, it is possible to lock by simply placing the hood on the bottom part of the locking elements. The locking takes place via the lifting movement, which execute the operating lugs on the hood in the receiving space along along the Einsenkweges when placing the hood on the bottom part. The lifting movement of the actuating lugs triggers pivoting movements of the locking elements, in the course of which they are pivoted from the open position into their locking positions. It does not matter whether the transport container is round, oval or with several corners. The locking elements can be attached to any desired Container mold are mounted at suitable positions, preferably at least two, three or four locking elements.
Die Kontaktflächen an den Betätigungsnasen und den Verriegelungselementen können je nach Breite und umfangseitiger Erstreckung des Aufnahmeraums entsprechend großflächig ausgebildet werden. Die größeren Flächen ermöglichen eine geringe spezifische Belastung einer Flächeneinheit, als das bei der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Vorrichtung der Fall ist. Durch die geringere spezifische Belastung einer Flächeneinheit ergeben sich ein geringerer Materialverschleiß, größer dimensionierte Bauteile, eine bessere Positionierbarkeit der Haube auf dem Bodenteil, eine geringere Verformung der Verriegelungselemente bei einer einwirkenden Verriegelungskraft und daraus resultierend ein definierteres Verriegelungsverhalten.The contact surfaces on the actuating lugs and the locking elements can be formed correspondingly large depending on the width and circumferential extent of the receiving space. The larger areas allow a low specific load of a unit area, as is the case in the device known from the prior art. Due to the lower specific load of a surface unit resulting in less material wear, larger sized components, better positioning of the hood on the bottom part, a lower deformation of the locking elements with an acting locking force and the resulting a defined locking behavior.
Es sind auch nicht mehr mehrere Handgriffe nötig, um eine Haube auf einem Bodenteil zu verriegeln. Es genügt, die Haube so auf das Bodenteil aufzusetzen, dass die Betätigungsnasen dabei in die Aufnahmeräume hineingleiten. Dann muss die Haube nur noch mit etwas Nachdruck auf das Bodenteil aufgedrückt werden, wodurch die Verriegelungselemente in ihre Verriegelungsstellung schwenken. Auf eine nachfolgende manuelle Verriegelung der einzelnen Verriegelungselemente kann verzichtet werden.It is also no longer several handles needed to lock a hood on a bottom part. It is sufficient to put the hood on the bottom part so that the actuation lugs thereby slide into the receiving spaces. Then the hood must be pressed only with some emphasis on the bottom part, causing the locking elements to pivot into their locking position. On a subsequent manual locking of the individual locking elements can be omitted.
Die Haube und die Verriegelungselemente können sich auch nicht mehr so leicht ungewollt aus der Verriegelungsstellung lösen, weil die Verriegelungselemente bei einer Öffnungsbewegung die Haube anheben müssten, damit sie sich überhaupt aus ihrer Verriegelungsstellung herausbewegen können. Das Gewicht der aufgesetzten Haube und die Reibkräfte, die sich aus der Anlage der Haube an Oberflächenteilen des Bodenteils ergeben, schaffen so eine zusätzliche Sicherheit, dass sich die Haube während des Transports des Transportbehälters nicht aus der verriegelten Stellung herausbewegt.The hood and the locking elements can not solve so easily unintentionally from the locking position, because the locking elements would have to raise the hood during an opening movement, so that they are even out can move out of their locking position. The weight of the attached hood and the frictional forces that result from the installation of the hood on surface parts of the bottom part, so provide additional security that the hood does not move out of the locked position during transport of the transport container.
Die Schwenkbewegungen, die die Verriegelungselemente bei einem Verriegelungsvorgang ausführen, können während eines Aufsetzvorgangs der Haube auch sofort optisch kontrolliert werden. Wenn sich die Verriegelungselemente dabei in die Verriegelungsstellung bewegt haben, ist der Aufsetz- und Verriegelungsvorgang der Haube abgeschlossen, ohne dass es dafür noch weiterer Handgriffe bedarf. Wenn das nicht der Fall ist, kann die Haube sofort wieder abgenommen werden, um zu überprüfen, ob sich im Einsenkweg der Haube in den Aufnahmeraum irgendwelche Fremdkörper befinden.The pivoting movements that perform the locking elements in a locking process, can also be checked visually during a Aufsetzvorgangs the hood. When the locking elements have moved into the locking position, the Aufsetz- and locking operation of the hood is completed, without the need for further manipulation. If this is not the case, the hood can be removed immediately to check whether there are any foreign bodies in the Einwegweg of the hood in the receiving space.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung umgreifen die Verriegelungselemente in ihrer Verriegelungsstellung den unteren und äußeren Rand der Haube von außen her mit ihrem zweiten Ende. Die Verriegelungselemente bilden auf diese Weise einen Teil des Außenumfangs und der Außenfläche des Transportbehälters. Wenn der Transportbehälter ergriffen und angehoben werden soll, können dabei die Verriegelungselemente von den Händen umfasst und dadurch gegen ein ungewolltes Öffnen zusätzlich abgesichert werden. Die Verriegelungselemente können dafür eine besonders griffgünstige Form aufweisen, die an eine die Verriegelungselemente umgreifende Hand angepasst ist. Die Verriegelungselemente können dabei seitlich über den Außenumfang des Haubenkörpers und des Bodenteils überstehende Tragegriffe ausbilden, an denen der Transportbehälter erfasst und getragen werden kann.According to one embodiment of the invention, the locking elements in their locking position surround the lower and outer edge of the hood from the outside with its second end. The locking elements form in this way a part of the outer periphery and the outer surface of the transport container. When the transport container is to be grasped and lifted, the locking elements can thereby be grasped by the hands and thereby additionally secured against unintentional opening. The locking elements can for this purpose have a particularly convenient shape, which is adapted to a hand engaging the locking elements. The locking elements can laterally over form the outer periphery of the hood body and the bottom part protruding carrying handles on which the transport container can be detected and carried.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist am zweiten Ende eines jeweiligen Verriegelungselements eine Griffkante ausgebildet, an der die Verriegelungselemente erfasst und jeweils manuell aus der Verriegelungsstellung in die Offenstellung bewegt werden können. Die Griffkante ist so ausgebildet, dass sie sich genau oder zumindest etwa parallel zur Schwenkachse in einem Abstand zu dieser und entlang der Schwenkachse erstreckt. Bei einer Zugbewegung an der Griffkante kann dann ein Verriegelungskörper aus der Verriegelungsstellung in die Richtung der Offenstellung verschwenkt werden. Um gut erfasst werden zu können und eine gute Abrutschsicherheit zu bieten, steht die Griffkante in der Verriegelungsstellung des Verriegelungselements zumindest etwa finderdick über die umgebende Außenfläche der Haube und/oder des Bodenteils hervor. Unterhalb der obersten Kante der Griffkante kann eine die oberste Kante hinterschneidende Anlagefläche für die Finger ausgebildet sein, damit die Finger beim Ziehen an dem Verriegelungselement nicht so leicht abrutschen können. Da bei einer Verschwenkbewegung des zweiten Endes um die Schwenkachse herum auch das erste Ende des Verriegelungselements um die Schwenkachse herum bewegt wird, bewirkt eine Öffnungsbewegung eines Verriegelungselements über die damit implizite Bewegung dessen ersten Endes auch immer eine Hubbewegung der Haube aus ihrer verriegelten Stellung hinaus. Die Haube kann danach leichter von dem Bodenteil abgenommen werden.According to one embodiment of the invention, a gripping edge is formed on the second end of a respective locking element, on which the locking elements can be detected and each manually moved from the locking position to the open position. The grip edge is formed so that it extends exactly or at least approximately parallel to the pivot axis at a distance to this and along the pivot axis. In a pulling movement on the grip edge then a locking body can be pivoted from the locking position in the direction of the open position. In order to be able to be detected well and to provide a good slip resistance, the grip edge is in the locking position of the locking element at least about finderdick on the surrounding outer surface of the hood and / or the bottom part. Below the uppermost edge of the grip edge, a contact surface for the fingers which undercuts the uppermost edge may be formed, so that the fingers can not slip off so easily when pulling on the locking element. As a pivotal movement of the second end about the pivot axis about the first end of the locking member is moved about the pivot axis around, causes an opening movement of a locking element on the implicit movement of the first end also always a lifting movement of the hood out of its locked position. The hood can then be easily removed from the bottom part.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind an den Verriegelungselementen und/oder an der Haube im Bereich der Kontaktflächen Rastnasen ausgebildet, die bei der Schwenkbewegung der Verriegelungselemente in die Verriegelungsstellung in korrespondierende Rastnasen eines benachbarten Bauteils einrasten und dadurch die Verriegelungselemente in der Verriegelungsstellung formschlüssig festlegen. Durch die Verrastung der Verriegelungselemente in ihrer Verriegelungsstellung sind diese noch besser gegen ein ungewolltes Öffnen der Verriegelungselemente gesichert. Die Rastnasen befinden sich bevorzugt auf der Innenseite der Verriegelungselemente im Bereich des zweiten Endes. Dort kann das zweite Ende beim Öffnen des Verriegelungselements leicht angehoben und die Rastnase über die zugehörige Rastnase des korrespondierenden Bauteils geführt werden, um die Verriegelung durch die Rastnase wieder aufzuheben.According to one embodiment of the invention locking lugs are formed on the locking elements and / or on the hood in the region of the contact surfaces, which engage in the pivotal movement of the locking elements in the locking position in corresponding locking lugs of an adjacent component and thereby set the locking elements in the locking position form-fitting. By locking the locking elements in their locking position they are even better secured against accidental opening of the locking elements. The latching lugs are preferably located on the inside of the locking elements in the region of the second end. There, the second end can be easily raised when opening the locking element and the locking lug are guided over the associated locking lug of the corresponding component to cancel the lock by the latch again.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Betätigungsnase als ein sich in Richtung des Einsenkweges erstreckender Steg ausgebildet, der sich nach unten weisend vom unteren umlaufenden Rand der Haube weg erstreckt, und der untere umlaufende Rand der Haube weist im Verriegelungsbereich mit einem Verriegelungselement einen sich zumindest annähernd oder genau in eine Richtung quer zum Einsenkweg erstreckenden Stützsteg auf, an dessen nach außen weisender Stirnfläche in der Verriegelungsstellung der Haube ein Abschnitt des Bodenteils anstößt, der mit der Schwenkachse verbunden ist, und an dessen Oberseite Kontaktflächen ausgebildet sind, an denen die Kontaktflächen eines Verriegelungselements in dessen Verriegelungsstellung anliegen. Der Steg ist gut dafür geeignet, Stellkräfte aus der Einsenkbewegung der Haube auf das erste Ende des Verriegelungelements zu übertragen. Der Steg erstreckt sich zumindest zu einem Teil über den Abstand, den die ersten und zweiten Enden eines Verriegelungselements zueinander aufweisen. Der Steg stützt in der Verriegelungsstellung auch den Stützsteg nach unten hin ab. Der Stützsteg erstreckt sich in radialer Richtung des Bodenteils nach außen hin quer durch den Aufnahmeraum. Der Stützsteg stützt in der Verriegelungsstellung mit seiner nach außen weisenden Stirnfläche den Abschnitt des Bodenteils in Querrichtung nach innen hin ab, der mit der Schwenkachse verbunden ist. Der Steg, der Stützsteg, die ersten und zweiten Enden eines Verriegelungselements und die im Bodenteil ausgebildete Schwenkachse mit ihrer Abstützung im Bodenteil bilden in der Verriegelungsstellung eine Geometrie aus, in der sich diese Teile gegenseitig spielfrei abstützen und das Verriegelungselement in der Verriegelungsstellung fest und sicher fixieren. Die Verriegelung kann nur aufgehoben werden, indem das zweite Ende des Verriegelungselements mit seinen Kontaktflächen und/oder auch - je nach Ausführung - mit der Rastnase durch eine Schwenkbewegung von den Kontaktflächen an dem Stützsteg abgehoben und weggeschwenkt wird, dadurch der Stützsteg nach oben hin von dem Abschnitt des Bodenteils, der mit der Schwenkachse verbunden ist, entfernt werden kann und danach nur noch der Steg mit dem ersten Ende des Verriegelungselements in Kontakt ist, bevor der an der Haube befindliche Steg entgegen der Einsenkrichtung entlang des Einsenkweges aus dem Aufnahmeraum herausgehoben wird. Andersherum ist die Verriegelung nach einer Einsenkbewegung des Steges in den Aufnahmeraum erst dann besonders stabil hergestellt, wenn die Stirnseite des Stützstegs in Eingriff gelangt mit der entsprechenden Kontaktfläche des Bodenteils, der mit der Schwenkachse verbunden ist.According to one embodiment of the invention, the actuating lug is formed as a extending in the direction of the Einsenkweges web extending downwardly facing away from the lower peripheral edge of the hood, and the lower peripheral edge of the hood has in the locking area with a locking element at least approximately or exactly in a direction transverse to the Einsenkweg extending support web on the outwardly facing end face in the locking position of the hood, a portion of the bottom part abuts, which is connected to the pivot axis, and on the upper side contact surfaces are formed, where the contact surfaces of a locking element abut in its locking position. The bridge is well suited to actuating forces from the lowering movement of the hood to the first end of the locking element transfer. The web extends at least in part over the distance that the first and second ends of a locking element have to each other. The bridge also supports the support bar in the locking position downwards. The support web extends in the radial direction of the bottom part outwardly across the receiving space. The support bar is supported in the locking position with its outwardly facing end face of the portion of the bottom portion in the transverse direction inwardly from, which is connected to the pivot axis. The web, the support web, the first and second ends of a locking element and formed in the bottom part pivot axis with its support in the bottom part form a geometry in the locking position, in which these parts support each other backlash and fix the locking element firmly and securely in the locked position , The lock can only be repealed by the second end of the locking element with its contact surfaces and / or - depending on the version - lifted and pivoted away with a detent by a pivoting movement of the contact surfaces on the support web, thereby the support web upwards of the Section of the bottom part, which is connected to the pivot axis, can be removed and then only the web with the first end of the locking element in contact before the located on the hood web is lifted against the Einsenkrichtung along the Einsenkweges from the receiving space. On the other hand, the locking is made particularly stable after a Einsenkbewegung the web into the receiving space only when the end face of the support web engages with the corresponding contact surface of the bottom part, which is connected to the pivot axis.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Aufnahmeraum zur Aufnahme des Stegs auch außerhalb der Erstreckung der Verriegelungselemente am Bodenteil ausgebildet, der Stützsteg liegt in diesem Bereich in der Verriegelungsstellung der Haube mit seiner Stirnfläche an der Innenseite der Wandung des Aufnahmeraums an und der Steg steht in diesem Bereich in der Verriegelungsstellung der Haube mit seiner Unterseite auf dem Boden des Aufnahmeraums auf. Indem die Haube auch außerhalb der Bereiche, in denen die Haube über die Verriegelungselemente mit dem Bodenteil verbunden ist, über den Steg und den Stützsteg auf dem Bodenteil abgestützt ist, ergibt sich eine sehr steife Verbindung, bei der sich der Transportbehälter auch bei ungleichmäßig auf ihn einwirkenden Lasten nur geringfügig verwindet. Auch hier wirken der Steg und der Stützsteg in unterschiedlichen Kraftrichtungen, um einwirkende Lasten aufzunehmen. Wenn der Aufnahmeraum außen um einen wesentlichen Teil des Bodenteils oder das gesamte Bodenteil umläuft, können darin auch gut Flüssigkeiten aufgefangen werden, die aus dem im Transportbehälter transportierten Lebensmittel austreten, wie beispielsweise Sahne oder Saft aus einem Kuchen. Der Steg und der Stützsteg bilden dann eine Art Barrieren, die das freie Auslaufen der Flüssigkeiten behindern. Der Zwischenraum zwischen dem Steg und dem Stützsteg und der Aufnahmeraum selbst ist dann ein Kanal, in dem sich an einer Stelle in den Aufnahmeraum eintretende Flüssigkeit über dessen Länge verteilen kann, bevor die Flüssigkeit nach außen austritt. Auch wenn der Steg und der Quersteg nicht vollständig dichtend ausgebildet sein müssen, bilden sie in jedem Fall in dem Aufnahmeraum eine zusätzliche Barriere, die die Flüssigkeit daran hindert, nach außen auszutreten.According to one embodiment of the invention, the receiving space for receiving the web is also formed outside the extension of the locking elements on the bottom part, the support web is in this area in the locking position of the hood with its end face on the inside of the wall of the receiving space and the web is in this Area in the locking position of the hood with its bottom on the bottom of the receiving space. By the hood is also supported outside the areas where the hood is connected via the locking elements with the bottom part, via the web and the support bar on the bottom part, results in a very rigid connection, in which the transport container even when unevenly on him acting loads only slightly twisted. Again, the web and the support bar act in different directions of force to absorb acting loads. If the receiving space on the outside revolves around a substantial part of the bottom part or the entire bottom part, it can also good liquids are collected therein, which emerge from the transported in the transport container food, such as cream or juice from a cake. The web and the support bar then form a kind of barriers that hinder the free leakage of fluids. The space between the web and the support web and the receiving space itself is then a channel in which at one point in the receiving space entering liquid can be distributed over its length before the liquid exits to the outside. Even if the web and the crossbar do not have to be completely sealed, they form in each case an additional barrier in the receiving space, which prevents the liquid from escaping to the outside.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Verriegelungselemente über eine im jeweiligen Verriegelungselement ausgebildete Schwenkrastvorrichtung mit der Schwenkachse verbunden. Die Rastelemente der Schwenkrastvorrichtung ermöglichen ein einfaches Aufclipsen der Verriegelungselemente auf die Achsenstummel der Schwenkachsen im Bodenteil. Die Verriegelungselemente können danach, beispielsweise für Reinigungszwecke, auch vergleichsweise leicht wieder abgezogen werden. Sie sind aber ausreichend fest auf der Schwenkachse gehalten, um die Verriegelungsfunktion ausfüllen zu können. Dazu sind die Laschen der Schwenkrastelemente von ihrem Material und der Materialstärke her entsprechend passend dimensioniert.According to one embodiment of the invention, the locking elements are connected via a formed in the respective locking element pivot locking device with the pivot axis. The locking elements of the swivel locking device allow a simple clipping of the locking elements on the stub axles of the pivot axes in the bottom part. The locking elements can thereafter, for example, for cleaning purposes, also relatively easily withdrawn. But they are held firmly enough on the pivot axis to fill the locking function can. For this purpose, the tabs of the pivot locking elements are dimensioned according to their material and the material thickness accordingly.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Oberflächen der Verriegelungselemente, der Haube und/oder des Bodenteils in griffrelevanten Bereichen mit einem Weichkunststoff versehen. Mit dem Begriff des Weichkunststoffs sind Materialien gemeint, die im Verhältnis zu dem übrigen für den Transportbehälter verwendeten Material ein weicheres, angenehmeres Griffgefühl vermitteln. Die mit dem Weichkunststoff versehenen Oberflächenteile vermitteln außerdem einen wertigen Eindruck des Produkts. Durch entsprechend farblich unterschiedliche Gestaltungen signalisieren die im Weichkunststoff ausgeführten Flächenanteile auch, wo der Transportbehälter am besten angefasst werden kann.According to one embodiment of the invention, the surfaces of the locking elements, the hood and / or the bottom part are provided in grip-relevant areas with a soft plastic. By the term soft plastic is meant materials which, in relation to the rest of the material used for the transport container, provide a softer, more comfortable grip. The provided with the soft plastic surface parts also give a valuable impression of the product. By correspondingly different color designs, the areas exported in the soft plastic also signal where the transport container can be best handled.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist auf das Bodenteil eine lösbar damit verbundene Präsentierplatte aufgesetzt. Die Präsentierplatte kann vom Bodenteil abgehoben werden, um das darauf positionierte Lebensmittel losgelöst vom Bodenteil und dessen Verbindungstechnik auf einer Aufstellfläche präsentieren zu können. Die Präsentierplatte kann optisch besonders wertig gestaltet sein, beispielsweise durch ein eingelegtes In-Mold-Label, das einen wertigen Eindruck macht, wie ein Holz-, Stein- oder Marmor- oder Porzellandekor, oder direkt aus einem dieser Materialien hergestellt sein, oder sonstige für die Präsentation von Lebensmitteln geeignete Darstellungen zeigen, wie Früchte, Brotartikel, Kräuter oder dergleichen. Die Präsentierplatte kann nachrüstbar und/oder austauschbar sein, so dass in einer Produktverpackung beispielsweise ein Satz eines Bodenteils und einer Haube mit mehreren unterschiedlich gestalteten Präsentierplatten kombiniert verkauft werden. Die Präsentierplatten können auch gesondert gekauft und beliebig mit dem Transportbehälter kombiniert werden. Die Präsentierplatte kann gesonderte Ausformungen aufweisen, beispielsweise für Muffins, sie kann Schneiderillen aufweisen, um den Schnitt von beispielsweise Torten zu vereinfachen, oder es können Luftlöcher in der Fläche ausgebildet sein, auch um Flüssigkeiten nach unten abzuführen.According to one embodiment of the invention, a releasably connected Präsentierplatte is placed on the bottom part. The presentation plate can be lifted off the bottom part to release the food positioned thereon from the bottom part and to present its connection technology on a footprint. The presentation board can be designed visually particularly valuable, for example, by an inserted in-mold label that makes a valuable impression, such as a wood, stone or marble or porcelain decor, or be made directly from one of these materials, or other for the presentation of foods show suitable representations, such as fruits, bread articles, herbs or the like. The presentation board can be retrofittable and / or interchangeable, so that in a product package, for example, a set of a bottom part and a hood are sold combined with several differently shaped presentation boards. The presentation plates can also be purchased separately and combined with the transport container. The presentation plate may have separate formations, for example for muffins, they may have cutting grooves to facilitate the cutting of, for example, pies, or there may be air holes formed in the surface, also to dissipate liquids down.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist zwischen der Präsentierplatte und dem Bodenteil ein Hohlraum ausgebildet. Der Hohlraum ermöglicht eine erhöhte Präsentationsebene des auf der Präsentierplatte angeordneten Lebensmittels. Der Hohlraum kann aber auch dazu genutzt werden, um darin Besteck, Servietten und Dekorationen für das Lebensmittel zu transportieren.According to one embodiment of the invention, a cavity is formed between the presentation board and the bottom part. The cavity allows for an increased presentation level of the food placed on the presentation board. The cavity can also be used to carry cutlery, napkins and decorations for the food.
