• die Einsteckleiste ein sich parallel zum Boden und der zugehörigen ersten Seitenwand erstreckendes längliches Profil aufweist und das Profil auf seiner dem Boden abgewandten Oberseite mehrere erste Aussparungen aufweist,

wobei bezüglich einer Ebene parallel zu den die Einsteckleisten aufweisenden ersten Seitenwänden gesehen die beiden Einsteckleisten spiegelsymmetrisch ausgeformt sind.There is provided a container having a bottom and first and second sidewalls standing on the floor, the first sidewalls facing each other and the second sidewalls also being opposite, wherein a receptacle portion of the container is defined by the bottom and sidewalls, the container being at least two arranged on the first side walls Einsteckleisten, wherein with respect to each of the Einsteckleisten

• the associated first side wall and the insertion strip have a plurality of opposing recesses for fixing the insertion strips,
• the insertion strip has an elongated profile extending parallel to the bottom and the associated first side wall, and the profile has a plurality of first recesses on its top side facing away from the bottom,

wherein, as seen with respect to a plane parallel to the insertion strips having first side walls, the two insertion strips are formed mirror-symmetrically.

Embodiments of the invention could have the advantage that can be upgraded in a particularly simple manner subsequently container with the ability to accommodate various forms of suspendable in the first recesses goods such as bags or files in a comfortable manner. The Bags or files can therefore be hung in the said recesses. Instead of now, in particular for files, which are arranged side by side, a variety of different support elements seen individually to attach to the container edge, said insertion strip is provided, which has the corresponding recesses, which in turn can record the said files hanging.

It should be noted at this point that the hanging of particular bags in the recesses is to be understood in such a way that a handle of the bags can be suspended in the profile, that the handle passes through at least two of the first recesses and thereby engages behind the profile.

Due to the fact that the first side wall and the insertion strip have a plurality of opposing recesses for fixing the insertion strips, it is also ensured that due to the elongated profile of the insertion strip a force distribution over several points on the side wall is given, bringing the overall mechanical strength of the container with respect to the recording of bags or files can be considerably increased. This results in a total of a subsequently upgradable container, which can be equipped in a particularly comfortable way and yet mechanically highly stable with the ability to receive goods, such as hanging files, suspension registers or bags by means of the first recesses.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the counter-receptacles comprise a plurality of tongues and second recesses for receiving the tongues, wherein the tongues are arranged on the profile on its bottom side facing the bottom. This makes it possible to fix the Einsteckleisten by a simple insertion of the top in the direction of the bottom in the respective first side wall. It is conceivable here that the said tongues have locking elements, so that with the insertion of the tongues into the corresponding second recesses a corresponding fixation against accidental slipping out of the tongues from the second recesses is ensured.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the second recesses are designed for the positive reception of the tongues, the positive locking acting at least in the direction perpendicular to the side walls having the insertion strips. This could have the advantage that, in particular when hanging bags in the first recesses acting through the bags Good Good tensile force on the profiles towards the container interior is still guaranteed that these forces can be effectively absorbed by the corresponding first side walls. The longer the tongues are formed, the deeper is the corresponding anchoring of the profiles and thus the male strips in the side wall and the greater the ability to absorb forces acting perpendicular to the side wall.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the first side walls each have an upper side facing away from the bottom, wherein the second recesses are formed on the upper side. Since just the top of the container is accessible in a particularly comfortable manner, it is thus possible to retrofit retrofit quickly in the plug-in strips and remove damaged plug-in strips from the container and replace it with new plug-in strips. Moreover, this makes it possible to provide the corresponding second recesses, in particular symmetrically in the center, with respect to the wall thickness of the first side walls, so that the overall stability of the container, in particular with regard to any breaking out of the second recesses when loaded by the tongues of the profile, can be increased.

According to one embodiment of the invention, each first side wall has, on its upper side facing away from the bottom, an edge delimiting the receiving region, the respective profile extending completely along the edge. It is understood that the edge thus extends between the two opposing second side walls.

Characterized in that the respective profile extends completely along the edge and thereby preferably respective tongues are arranged at the distal ends of the respective profile, it is ensured that with maximum utilization of the available storage space, which is provided by the receiving area of the container corresponding first recesses can be provided, with respect to which corresponding goods such as bags or files can be hung.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the first recesses are each partially surrounded by a wall of the profile. This could have the advantage of preventing inadvertent slippage of goods hooked in the recesses, such as files or bags, away from the floor. Even if so the container, for example, move strongly during transport in the first recesses recorded files or bags continue to hang safely.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the first recesses are embraced, for example, in each case by the wall of the profile C-shaped.

According to one embodiment of the invention, each plug-in strip with its underside facing the bottom is flat on the respective top side facing away from the bottom of the associated first side wall except for the opposing receptacles. This in turn could have the advantage that forces acting on the side walls, as they occur when hanging goods such as bags or files in the first recesses towards the ground, can be transmitted in a particularly uniform manner to the corresponding first container wall, so by the overall stability of the container is further increased.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the profiles each have one of the first recesses at their ends which are distal with respect to the extent along the edge. If the recesses are encompassed by the wall of the profile C-shaped, so can the open part of the C-shape in the direction of extension of the edge demonstrate. This could also allow the available storage space in the receiving area of the container to be utilized to a maximum extent for receiving goods. In addition, in this embodiment, a particularly simple hanging of goods such as bags or files from the front of the container from possible.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the container further comprises two cross braces, each cross brace connecting the distal end of one profile to the mirror symmetrically opposite distal end of the other profile, each cross brace resting on a top side remote from the bottom of one of the second side walls. This could have the advantage that the intended male strips are further mechanically stabilized, in particular with regard to the hanging of goods in the recesses, which ensure that the male strips are pulled inwards in the direction perpendicular to the respective first side walls to the inside of the container. By providing the cross brace, the resulting loads are evenly distributed in addition to the second side walls, so that in this way the overall stability of the male and thus the container can be increased.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the second side walls and the cross braces on a plurality of opposing receptacles for fixing the cross braces. These counter-recordings can be formed in an analogous manner, as has already been explained with respect to the counter-recordings of the first side wall and plug-in strip. It should be noted that, by virtue of the fact that the transverse struts rest on the upper sides of the second side walls, introduction of corresponding goods into the receiving area of the container is not hindered. The opening of the container is completely retained, nevertheless, as already mentioned, the stability of the container is increased.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the container is a transport and storage container.

In another aspect, the invention relates to a male header for a container as described above.

It is understood that the embodiments described above can be combined in any manner with each other, as long as the combinations are not mutually exclusive.

a schematic view of the upper edge of a container with recorded male strips and cross braces.

Hereinafter, similar elements will be denoted by the same reference numerals.

The FIG. 1 shows in a perspective view of a container 100 with a bottom and standing on the ground side walls 106 and 108. The side walls 106 and 108 extend slightly inclined outwardly away from the ground, so overall starting from the ground, the area for receiving goods in the Container is available, gradually increasing. Overall, the side walls 100 and 108 as well as the bottom define a receiving area 116 of the container. Also visible are insertion strips 102, which are inserted into the upper sides of the side walls 108. These insertion strips 102 have recesses 104 and further recesses 110 at the distal ends. The recesses 104 and 110 of the in FIG. 1 apparent opposing male strips 102 are used to receive herein einhängbaren goods, such as bags or hanging files. A suitably hinged bag is in the FIG. 2 shown and designated there by the reference numeral 118.

The male strips 102 have an elongated profile extending parallel to the bottom and the side wall 108, this profile having C-shaped recesses 104. Like in the FIG. 2 it can be seen, the C-shaped recesses ensure that the attachable goods, such as the bag 118, can not easily slide out of the recess 104 upwards.

Also visible in the Figures 1 and 2 are so-called stacking bracket 112, which are hinged about perpendicular to the side walls 108 extending axes and in the Figures 1 and 2 allow apparent flap condition that in the recesses of the stacking bracket of a container 100, another container 100 can be placed with its bottom. In this case, the insertion strips 102 are arranged on the upper sides of the side walls 108 facing away from the bottom in each case such that a stacking of a further container using the stacking clips 112 is not impaired. As mentioned above, the side walls 106 and 108 of the container extend obliquely outwardly away from the bottom of the container, so that the bearing surface of the bottom of the container is smaller than the surface which is enclosed on the container top by the side walls. The fact that now the male strips 102 are placed on the tops of the side walls 108, so the stackability of the container 100 is not affected. The stacking brackets 112 are here to be seen as optional.

The FIG. 3 shows a view of two male strips, which are symmetrical to each other and which can be inserted into the tops of the side walls 108. On the one hand, the insertion strips 102 have corresponding tongues 300 for this purpose, the tongues being arranged on the profile of the insertion strips on the underside facing the bottom of the container. On the opposite Side of the profiles of the Einsteckleisten 102, the recesses 104 are provided and the recesses 110 at the distal ends of the Einsteckleisten 102. In order to allow the insertion of the Einsteckleisten 102 with their tongues 300, corresponding recesses are provided on the side walls 108, so that in a simple way Plug-in strips can be inserted from above in the direction of the floor in the side walls.

Not shown are optional locking elements on the tongues 300, by means of which an additional fixation of the Einsteckleisten on the side walls 108 is possible.

The underside of the profiles, from which the tongues 300 protrude, is designed so that, after insertion, said underside rests flat on the upper side of the corresponding side wall 108. Thus, forces acting on the C-shaped recesses and thus on the profile elements located between the recesses, so these forces can be registered evenly in the side wall 108.

The FIG. 4 shows a plan view of a container from above, that is the view towards the ground. Visible again are the side walls 108 and the side walls 106, wherein the side walls 106 define the end face. Also visible are the two insertion strips 102, which are plugged onto the upper side 404 of the side wall 108. As an example, two recesses per insertion strip are shown, into which recesses 104 corresponding goods can be hung. The recesses 104 of each male strip 108 are arranged mirror-symmetrically to each other, in which case the mirror symmetry is defined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the floor and a plane parallel to the side wall 108 extending plane.

The two male strips 102 are additionally connected to one another at their distal ends, that is to say in the left and right in FIG. 4, via two transverse struts 400. These cross braces 400 are optional and, for example, are also located on the upper side 402 of the side walls 106. The cross braces 400 may accordingly, as already discussed with respect to the male strips, be connected to the side walls 106. In particular, the cross struts 400 may also have tongues which can be inserted into opposing recesses of the side wall 106 from above.

By providing the additional cross braces 400, overall, the mechanical stability of the container is increased since forces acting on the insertion strips can be distributed not only to the side walls 108 but also additionally to the side walls 106.

The receiving area 116 is bounded by the side walls 108 and 106. At the top of the container facing away from the bottom, therefore, the inner edges of the respective side walls bound the receiving region 116. Preferably, the insertion strips 104 extend completely along these edges, in which FIG. 4 seen in the longitudinal direction of the container.
