In order to provide for structurally identical system containers to be stacked optionally in a dimensionally stable, interconnected manner or separately, and therefore such that they can easily be singulated, each coupling device (7) is assigned a locking element (9), which arrests the respective coupling device (7) releasably in the rest position.

Description

Stapelbarer Systembehälter  Stackable system tray
Die Erfindung betrifft einen stapelbaren Systembehälter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. The invention relates to a stackable system container according to the preamble of claim 1.
Aus der DE 10 2013 110 496 ist ein stapelbarer Systembehälter mit einem einen nach oben offenen Stauraum aufweisenden Bodenteil und einem an dem Bodenteil schwenkbar befestigten und den Stauraum nach oben begrenzenden Deckelteil bekannt. Zudem weist der Systembehälter zwei an gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden des Bodenteils beweglich befestigte Koppelungsvorrichtungen auf, welche zur Koppelung des Systembehälters mit weiteren Systembehältern dienen und damit eine sichere Stapelung derartiger Systembehälter ermöglichen. Die Kopp elungs Vorrichtungen sind zwischen einer Ruheposition, in welcher die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung außer Eingriff mit dem weiteren Systembehälter stehen, und einer Koppelungsposition, in welcher die Kopplungsvorrichtungen in Eingriff mit dem weiteren Systembehälter bringbar sind, beweglich ausgebildet und ausgelegt, mit korrespondierenden, nach oben über eine Oberseite des Systembehälters bzw. des Deckelteils hervorstehenden Koppelungselementen eines darunter angeordneten, gleichartigen Behälters haltend zusammenzuwirken. Die Koppelungselemente sind ein integraler Bestandteil des entsprechenden Bodenteils und umfassen jeweils mindestens eine Falle zum Einrasten der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung. Die Koppelungselemente sind zudem an gegenüberliegenden Enden der Oberseite des Systembehälters angeordnet und ermöglichen das Zentrieren, Positionieren und Stapeln mehrerer derartiger Systembehälter aufeinander. Nach dem Ausrichten von mehreren Systembehältern können diese über die Kopp elungs Vorrichtungen und die Koppelungselemente formstabil, aber lösbar verbunden werden. Um eine einfache und schnelle Verbindung der Systembehälter zu erreichen, sind die Kopp elungs Vorrichtungen beispielsweise über ein Federelement jeweils in eine Koppelungsposition vorgespannt, so dass die Koppelungsvorrichtungen sich automatisch mit den Koppelungselementen des weiteren Systembehälters verbinden, sobald diese mit ausreichend Druck zusammengefügt werden. Dieser Form- und Kraftschluss ermöglicht ein komfortables Tragen mehrere miteinander verbundener Systembehälter in einer Hand. Nachteilig ist hierbei jedoch, dass hingegen in der Logistik beim Transport die Systembehälter gerade in großen Stapeln schnell und einfach vereinzelbar sein müssen und daher eine automatische Verbindung der Systembehälter untereinander gerade nachteilig ist. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen stapelbaren Systembehälter zu schaffen, welcher eine Stapelung baugleicher Systembehälter ermöglicht, wobei die Stapelung wahlweise formfest verbunden oder separat und damit einfach vereinzelbar ist. From DE 10 2013 110 496 a stackable system container with an upwardly open storage space having bottom part and a pivotally mounted on the bottom part and the storage space upwardly bounding lid part is known. In addition, the system container two on opposite side walls of the bottom part movably mounted coupling devices, which serve to couple the system container with other system containers and thus allow a secure stacking of such system container. The Kopp elung devices are between a rest position in which the Kopp elung device out of engagement with the other system container, and a coupling position in which the coupling devices are engageable with the other system container, movably formed and designed, with corresponding, upwards interacting with each other via an upper side of the system container or the lid part, protruding coupling elements of a similar container arranged underneath. The coupling elements are an integral part of the corresponding bottom part and each comprise at least one latch for engaging the Kopp elung device. The coupling elements are also arranged at opposite ends of the top of the system container and allow the centering, positioning and stacking of several such system container each other. After aligning several system containers they can be dimensionally stable, but releasably connected via the Kopp elung devices and the coupling elements. In order to achieve a simple and fast connection of the system container, the Kopp elution devices are biased, for example via a spring element in each case in a coupling position, so that the coupling devices automatically connect to the coupling elements of the other system container as soon as they are assembled with sufficient pressure. This form and frictional connection allows comfortable carrying several interconnected system container in one hand. The disadvantage here, however, that in contrast the logistics in transport, the system container just in large stacks must be quickly and easily separated and therefore an automatic connection of the system container with each other just disadvantageous. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a stackable system container, which allows stacking of identical system container, wherein the stacking optionally connected rigidly or separately and thus is easily separable.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen stapelbaren Systembehälter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. Der erfindungsgemäße stapelbare Systembehälter zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass jeder Kopp elungs Vorrichtung ein Riegelelement zugeordnet ist, welches die jeweilige Koppelungsvorrichtung in der Ruheposition lösbar arretiert. Hierdurch kann besonders einfach verhindert werden, dass derartige baugleiche übereinander gestapelte Systembehälter sich miteinander verbinden, was gerade in der Logistik eine einfachere Handhabung ermöglicht. Zudem kann auch der Endkunde frei wählen, ob sich die Systembehälter im Stapel automatisch verbinden sollen oder nicht. This object is achieved by a stackable system container having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims. The stackable system container according to the invention is characterized in that each Kopp elung device is associated with a locking element which releasably locks the respective coupling device in the rest position. This can be particularly easily prevented that such identical stacked system containers connect with each other, which allows easier handling especially in logistics. In addition, the end customer can freely choose whether the system containers in the stack should automatically connect or not.
Als baugleiche bzw. gleichartige Systembehälter sind Behälter zu verstehen, welche ausgelegt sind, mit den zwei Kopp elungs Vorrichtungen des Systembehälters halten zusammenzuwirken, wobei bezüglich der Abmessungen oder dem Vorhandensein weiterer Elemente auch unterschiedliche Ausführungsformen umfasst sind. As identical or similar system container containers are to be understood, which are designed to cooperate with the two Kopp elung devices of the system container cooperate, with respect to the dimensions or the presence of other elements and different embodiments are included.
Insbesondere können die Systembehälter vorteilhaft Federelemente umfassen, welche die Kopp elungs Vorrichtungen in die Koppelungsposition beaufschlagen, was eine selbstständige Verbindung mehrerer baugleicher Systembehälter ermöglicht. Ohne die Riegelelemente würden sich diese Systembehälter jedoch bei der Stapelung in der Logistik und auch beim Endkunden automatisch ohne weitere Handgriffe fest miteinander verbinden, was zu erheblichen Zeitverzögerungen führt, wenn die Systembehälter wieder vereinzelt werden sollen. In particular, the system container may advantageously comprise spring elements which act on the Kopp elungs devices in the coupling position, which allows independent connection of a plurality of identical system container. Without the locking elements, however, these system containers would automatically connect to one another without any further manipulation during stacking in logistics and also at the end customer, which leads to considerable time delays if the system containers are to be separated again.
Ein derartiges Riegelelement kann beispielsweise als Schieber ausgebildet sein, welcher in einer Verriegelungsposition die jeweilige Kopp elungs Vorrichtung formschlüssig in der Ruheposition hält. Der Schieber kann dabei beweglich an dem Bodenteil des Systembehälters oder an der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung selbst befestigt sein. Mittels einer translatorischen Bewegung kann der Schieber dann in Eingriff mit der sich in der Ruheposition befindenden Kopp elungs Vorrichtung bzw. dem Bodenteil gebracht werden, wodurch die jeweilige Kopp elungs Vorrichtung relativ zu dem Bodenteil in der Ruheposition arretiert wird. Such a locking element may be formed, for example, as a slide, which positively holds in a locking position, the respective Kopp elungs device in the rest position. The slider can be movably attached to the bottom part of the system container or on the Kopp elungs device itself. By means of a translatory movement, the slider can then be in engagement with the one in the rest position Kopp elungs device or the bottom part are brought, whereby the respective coupling device Kopp is locked relative to the bottom part in the rest position.
Alternativ kann das Riegelelement auch als Drehknopf ausgebildet sein, welcher in einer Verriegelungsposition die jeweilige Koppelungsvorrichtung formschlüssig in der Ruheposition hält. Durch Drehen an dem Drehknopf kann die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung besonders einfach und sicher in der Ruheposition arretiert oder auch aus der Ruheposition gelöst werden. Für eine besonders stabile Arretierung der Kopp elungs Vorrichtungen in der Ruheposition kann an den gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden jeweils mindestens eine Rastnase vorgesehen sein, welche von dem jeweiligen Riegelelement in der Verriegelungsposition rastend hintergreifbar ist. Hierdurch kann jede Kopp elungs Vorrichtung durch das jeweilige Riegelelement lösbar formschlüssig in der Ruheposition arretiert werden. Alternatively, the locking element may also be designed as a rotary knob, which holds the respective coupling device positively in the rest position in a locking position. By turning the knob, the Kopp elungs device can be particularly easily and safely locked in the rest position or released from the rest position. For a particularly stable locking of the Kopp elungs devices in the rest position may be provided on the opposite side walls in each case at least one latching lug, which is latched behind the respective locking element in the locking position. In this way, each Kopp elung device can be locked by the respective locking element releasably form-fitting in the rest position.
Besonders bevorzugt sind die Kopplungsvorrichtungen zwischen einer eingeschwenkten Ruheposition und einer ausgeschwenkten Koppelungsposition verschwenkbar an den Seitenwänden befestigt, wodurch sich eine einfach herstellbare Lagerung und Handhabung der Kopp elungs Vorrichtungen ergibt. Eine einfache Verbindung mehrere baugleicher Systembehälter wird zudem dadurch erreicht, dass jede Kopp elungs Vorrichtung um eine zu den Seitenwänden parallele, insbesondere horizontale Schwenkachse schwenkbar ist. Particularly preferably, the coupling devices between a pivoted-rest position and a pivoted-coupling position are pivotally mounted on the side walls, resulting in a simple to manufacture storage and handling of Kopp elung devices. A simple connection of a plurality of identical system container is also achieved in that each Kopp elung device is pivotable about a parallel to the side walls, in particular horizontal pivot axis.
Um die Koppelungsvorrichtungen in der Ruheposition platzsparend anzuordnen und zudem vor Beschädigungen zu schützen, können die gegenüberliegenden Seitenwände jeweils eine Aufnahmemulde aufweisen, in welcher die Kopp elungs Vorrichtungen insbesondere in der Ruheposition angeordnet sind. To arrange the coupling devices in the rest position to save space and also to protect against damage, the opposite side walls may each have a receiving trough, in which the Kopp elung devices are arranged in particular in the rest position.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform können an dem Bodenteil oder einem Deckelteil des Systembehälters nach oben über die Oberseite des Deckelteils vorstehende Koppelungselemente angeordnet sein, welche ausgebildet sind, mit den Kopp elungs Vorrichtungen eines darüber angeordneten baugleichen Systembehälters zusammenzuwirken. Die Koppelungselemente dienen zur Positionierung und Fixierung eines weiteren Behälters auf der Oberseite des Deckelteils und können beispielsweise als Hinterschneidung, Vorsprung oder Tasche ausgebildet sein, welche eine formschlüssige Verbindung mit einem weiteren Systembehälter ermöglichen. In a preferred embodiment may be arranged on the bottom part or a lid part of the system container up above the top of the lid part projecting coupling elements, which are designed to cooperate with the Kopp elungs devices arranged above a similar system container. The coupling elements are used for positioning and fixing a further container on top of the lid part and can, for example, as Undercut, projection or pocket be formed, which allow a positive connection with another system container.
Besonders bevorzugt ist an den Kopp elungs Vorrichtungen in der Koppelungsposition unterhalb jedes Koppelungselements jeweils ein zu dem Koppelungselement korrespondierendes Gegenelement vorgesehen, welches zum haltenden Zusammenwirken mit einem gleichartigen Koppelungselement eines darunter angeordneten weiteren Systembehälters beispielsweise als hakenförmiger Vorsprung ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch wird eine besonders stabile formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen zwei derartigen Systembehältern erreicht, welche gleich ausgerichtet übereinander gestapelt sind. Particularly preferred is provided on the Kopp elungs devices in the coupling position below each coupling element in each case one corresponding to the coupling element counter element, which is designed for holding interaction with a similar coupling element of an underlying further system container, for example, as a hook-shaped projection. As a result, a particularly stable positive connection between two such system containers is achieved, which are stacked the same aligned.
Anstelle eines Schiebers oder eines Drehknopfs kann das Riegelelement auch als Rastvorrichtung zwischen der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung und dem Bodenteil ausgebildet sein. Eine derartige Rastvorrichtung kann beispielsweise durch eine Rastkugel gebildet werden, welche in der Ruheposition der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung in eine entsprechende Rastnut formschlüssig eingreift und mittels einer definierten Kraft überwunden werden kann. Hierdurch kann verhindert werden, dass sich die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung unbeabsichtigt aus der Ruheposition löst. Ein entsprechendes Riegelelement kann jedoch auch durch ein alternatives Federelement gebildet werden, welches die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung nicht in Richtung der Ruheposition beaufschlagt, sondern lediglich eine Verrastung in der Ruheposition beispielsweise durch einen Eingriff in eine Nut bewirkt. Die als Rastkugel bzw. Federelement ausgebildete Riegelelement kann dabei auch beispielsweise über entsprechende Rastnuten in der Koppelungsposition die Koppelungsvorrichtung lösbar arretieren. Weitere Besonderheiten und Vorzüge der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele anhand der Zeichnungen. Es zeigen: Instead of a slider or a rotary knob, the locking element can also be designed as a locking device between the Kopp elungs device and the bottom part. Such a locking device can be formed for example by a detent ball, which positively engages in the rest position of Kopp elungs device in a corresponding locking groove and can be overcome by a defined force. In this way it can be prevented that the Kopp elungs device unintentionally releases from the rest position. However, a corresponding locking element can also be formed by an alternative spring element, which does not act on the Kopp elung device in the direction of the rest position, but only causes a latching in the rest position, for example by engaging in a groove. The locking element formed as a detent ball or spring element can thereby releasably lock the coupling device, for example, via corresponding locking grooves in the coupling position. Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings. Show it:

In Figur 1 ist eine perspektivische Darstellung eines stapelbaren Systembehälter 1 von der Seite gezeigt. Der Systembehälter 1 umfasst ein unteres Bodenteil 2 und ein an dem Bodenteil 2 schwenkbar befestigtes oberes Deckelteil 3. Das Bodenteil 2 weist einen nicht dargestellten nach oben offenen Stauraum auf, welcher von dem Deckelteil 3 nach oben begrenzt wird. Das Deckelteil 3 ist über ein an einer Rückseite des Deckelteils 3 schematisch angedeutetes Drehgelenk 4 schwenkbar mit dem Bodenteil 2 verbunden. Um das Deckelteil 3 lösbar an dem Bodenteil 2 zu befestigen und damit den umschlossenen Stauraum sicher zu verschließen, sind an der Vorderseite des Systembehälters 1 zwei nicht dargestellte Verschlussvorrichtungen vorgesehen, welche gelenkig an dem Deckelteil 3 befestigt sind und in einer geschlossenen Stellung des Deckelteils 3 mit dem Bodenteil 2 rastend zusammenwirken. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a stackable system container 1 from the side. The system container 1 comprises a lower bottom part 2 and an upper cover part 3 pivotally attached to the bottom part 2. The bottom part 2 has an upwardly open storage space, not shown, which is bounded upwardly by the cover part 3. The cover part 3 is pivotally connected to the bottom part 2 via a swivel joint 4 schematically indicated on a rear side of the cover part 3. In order to fix the lid part 3 detachably to the bottom part 2 and thus securely close the enclosed storage space, two closure devices (not shown) are provided on the front of the system container 1, which are hinged to the lid part 3 and in a closed position of the lid part 3 the bottom part 2 latching interact.
Der Systembehälter 1 kann beispielsweise zum Transport und zur Lagerung von Werkzeug und Arbeitsmaterialien für Handwerker verwendet werden. Hierzu weist das Bodenteil 2 bevorzugt einen Bodenabschnitt und vier Seitenwände auf, welche einen nur nach oben offenen Stauraum begrenzen. Es ist jedoch auch möglich das Bodenteil wie den Behälter in der EP 2 703 310 offenbart auszuführen. In dieser Hinsicht wird Bezug genommen auf die EPThe system container 1 can be used for example for the transport and storage of tools and work materials for craftsmen. For this purpose, the bottom part 2 preferably has a bottom section and four side walls, which delimit only an upwardly open storage space. However, it is also possible to carry out the bottom part as the container disclosed in EP 2 703 310. In this regard, reference is made to the EP
2 703 310, deren Inhalt hiermit in diese Anmeldung aufgenommen wird. Zum einfachen Transport des Systembehälters 1 ist an der Vorderseite des Systembehälters 1 ein nicht dargstellter Handgriff angeordnet, welcher durch das Bodenteil 2 oder das Deckelteil2,703,310, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this application. For easy transport of the system container 1, a non dargstellter handle is arranged at the front of the system container 1, which by the bottom part 2 or the cover part
3 gebildet wird. Zudem kann auch an einer Oberseite 5 des Deckelteils 3 ein Haltebügel verschwenkbar zwischen einer nach oben hervorstehenden Position und einer eingeschwenkten Position befestigt sein. In der eingeschwenkten Position kann dieser Haltebügel in einer Griffmulde des Deckelteils 3 versenkt angeordnet sein, so dass der weitere Haltebügel mit dem Deckelteil 3 die stufenlose ebene Oberseite 5 des Systembehälters 1 bildet. An einer Seitenwänden 6 des Bodenteils 2 ist eine Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7 schwenkbar befestigt. Ebenso ist auch an der der Seitenwand 6 gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand des Bodenteils 2 eine zu der Koppelungsvorrichtung 7 spiegelbildlich ausgebildete weitere Kopp elungs Vorrichtung vorgesehen. Die bezüglich dieser Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7 beschriebenen Merkmale sind damit auch bei der gegenüberliegenden Kopp elungs Vorrichtung vorhanden. 3 is formed. In addition, on a top side 5 of the lid part 3, a holding bracket can be pivotally mounted between an upwardly projecting position and a pivoted-in position. In the pivoted position this can Headband be recessed in a recessed grip of the cover part 3, so that the further headband with the cover part 3 forms the continuous flat top 5 of the system container 1. On a side walls 6 of the bottom part 2 is a Kopp elung device 7 is pivotally mounted. Likewise, on the side wall 6 opposite the side wall of the bottom part 2 to the coupling device 7 mirror-image formed further Kopp elung device is provided. The features described with respect to this Kopp elung device 7 are thus also present in the opposite Kopp elung device.
Die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7 ist zwischen einer in Figur 1 gezeigten ausgeschwenkten Koppelungsposition und einer eingeschwenkten Ruheposition schwenkbar um eine schematisch angedeutete Schwenkachse 8 an der Seitenwand 6 befestigt. Die Schwenkachse 8 ist parallel zu der Seitenwand 6 und horizontal ausgebildet. Mittels eines nicht gezeigten Federelements wird die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7 in die gezeigte Koppelungsposition beaufschlagt, wodurch ein automatisches Verbinden des Systembehälters 1 mit weiteren baugleichen Systembehältern beim Stapeln erreicht wird. Zur Aufnahme der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7 insbesondere in der eingeschwenkten Ruheposition weist die Seitenwand 7 eine Aufnahmemulde 11 auf. Die Aufnahmemulde 11 kann auch derart dimensioniert sein, dass die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7 in der Aufnahmemulde 11 auch in der in Figur 1 gezeigten ausgeschwenkten Koppelungsposition nicht über die Seitenwand 6 nach außen hervorsteht. Hierdurch kann die Koppelungsvorrichtung 7 platzsparend angeordnet und zudem vor Beschädigungen geschützt werden. The Kopp elungs device 7 is pivotally mounted between a swung-coupling position shown in Figure 1 and a pivoted-rest position about a schematically indicated pivot axis 8 on the side wall 6. The pivot axis 8 is parallel to the side wall 6 and formed horizontally. By means of a spring element, not shown, the Kopp elung device 7 is acted upon in the coupling position shown, whereby an automatic connection of the system container 1 is achieved with other identical system containers when stacking. For receiving the Kopp elung device 7, in particular in the pivoted-in rest position, the side wall 7 a receiving trough 11. The receiving trough 11 may also be dimensioned such that the Kopp elung device 7 does not project beyond the side wall 6 in the receiving trough 11 in the pivoted-coupling position shown in Figure 1 outwardly. As a result, the coupling device 7 can be arranged to save space and also be protected from damage.
Des Weiteren ist der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7 ein Riegelelement 9 zugeordnet, welches als Schieber ausgebildet und verschiebbar in einer Aussparung in dem Bodenteil 2 gelagert ist. Das Riegelelement 9 weist einen aus der Seitenwand 6 vorstehenden Griffabschnitt 10 auf, welcher zur Betätigung des Riegelelements 9 von außen greifbar ist. Mittels des Riegelelements 9 kann die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7 formschlüssig in der Ruheposition gehalten und damit arretiert werden, was anhand der nachfolgenden Figuren noch im Detail erläutert wird. An dem Deckelteil 3 des Systembehälters 1 sind zudem nach oben vorstehende Koppelungselemente 12a, 12b angeordnet, welches ausgebildet sind, mit der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7 eines darüber angeordneten baugleichen Systembehälters haltend zusammenzuwirken. Die Koppelungselemente 12a, 12b sind bei den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen als Aussparungen ausgebildet, welche in einem nach oben über die Oberseite 5 des Deckelteils 3 vorstehenden Verraststeg ausgebildet sind. Zur haltenden Verbindung weist die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7 an dem Systembehälter 1, wie auch der nicht dargestellte, darüber angeordnete baugleiche Systembehälter, in vertikaler Richtung unterhalb jedes Koppelungselements 12a, 12b jeweils ein korrespondierendes Gegenelement 13a, 13b auf. Die Gegenelemente 13 a, 13b sind zum haltenden Zusammenwirken mit den Koppelungselementen 12a, 12b mit entsprechend korrespondierender Geometrie ausgebildet. In den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen sind die Gegenelemente 13a, 13b als hakenförmige Vorsprünge zum haltenden Eingriff in die als Aussparungen ausgestalteten Koppelungselemente 12a, 12b ausgebildet. Furthermore, the Kopp elungs device 7 is assigned a locking element 9, which is designed as a slide and slidably mounted in a recess in the bottom part 2. The locking element 9 has a grip section 10 projecting from the side wall 6, which can be gripped from the outside for actuating the locking element 9. By means of the locking element 9, the Kopp elung device 7 can be positively held in the rest position and thus locked, which will be explained in detail with reference to the following figures. On the cover part 3 of the system container 1 also upwardly projecting coupling elements 12a, 12b are arranged, which are designed to cooperate with the Kopp elungs device 7 arranged above an identical system container holding. The coupling elements 12a, 12b are formed in the embodiments shown as recesses, which are formed in an upwardly over the top 5 of the cover part 3 projecting Verraststeg. For holding connection, the Kopp elungs device 7 on the system container 1, as well as the not shown, arranged above identical system container, in the vertical direction below each coupling element 12a, 12b each have a corresponding counter element 13a, 13b. The counter-elements 13 a, 13 b are designed to hold interacting with the coupling elements 12 a, 12 b with correspondingly corresponding geometry. In the exemplary embodiments shown, the counter-elements 13a, 13b are designed as hook-shaped projections for holding engagement in the coupling elements 12a, 12b configured as recesses.
Wie auch bei der Koppelungsvorrichtung 7 sind auf der der Seitenwand 6 gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand des Bodenteils 2 jeweils auch das entsprechende Riegelelement und die Koppelungselemente spiegelbildlich ausgebildet, so dass auf den gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden zwei identische Vorrichtungen zur gegenseitigen Verbindung mehrerer baugleicher Systembehälter angeordnet sind. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine besonders stabile, aber dennoch einfach über die Seitenwände zugängliche und damit lösbare Koppelung der Systembehälter, wobei aufgrund der guten Zugänglichkeit insbesondere bei einem Stapel mehrerer baugleicher Systembehälter gezielt die Koppelung einzelner Systembehälter gelöst werden kann. As with the coupling device 7, the corresponding locking element and the coupling elements are mirror-inverted on the sidewall 6 opposite side wall of the bottom part 2, so that two identical devices for mutual connection of a plurality of identical system container are arranged on the opposite side walls. This results in a particularly stable, yet easily accessible via the side walls and thus detachable coupling of the system container, which due to the good accessibility in particular in a stack of a plurality of identical system container targeted the coupling of individual system container can be solved.
In Figur 2 ist eine Seitenansicht auf den stapelbaren Systembehälter von Figur 1 gezeigt, wobei im Unterschied zu Figur 1 die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7 in der eingeschwenkten Ruheposition angeordnet und mittels des Riegelelements 9 arretiert ist. Hierbei befindet sich das Riegelelement 9 in einer ausgefahrenen Verriegelungsposition, was beispielsweise durch eine manuelle Betätigung des Griffabschnitts 10 erreicht werden kann. In dieser Verriegelungsposition steht das Riegelelement 9 derart in die Aufnahmemulde 11 vor, dass es an der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7 in der Ruheposition anliegt und damit eine Bewegung der Koppelungsvorrichtung 7 in Richtung der ausgeschwenkten Koppelungsposition formschlüssig verhindert. In Figure 2 is a side view of the stackable system container of Figure 1 is shown, wherein in contrast to Figure 1, the Kopp elung device 7 is arranged in the pivoted-rest position and locked by means of the locking element 9. Here, the locking element 9 is in an extended locking position, which can be achieved for example by a manual operation of the handle portion 10. In this locking position, the locking element 9 projects into the receiving trough 11 in such a way that it abuts the Kopp elung device 7 in the rest position and thus a movement of the Coupling device 7 positively prevented in the direction of the swung-coupling position.
In einer nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform kann zudem ein weiteres Federelement vorgesehen sein, welches das Riegelelement aus der Verriegelungsposition weg beaufschlagt. In der gezeigten Verriegelungsposition wird dabei das Riegelelement durch die seitliche Beaufschlagung der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung reibschlüssig und/oder durch zusätzliche Elemente auch formschlüssig gehalten. Sobald jedoch die großflächige und damit einfach zu betätigende Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7 etwas von dem Riegelelement 9 wegbewegt wird, also noch weiter in Richtung von der Koppelungsposition zur Ruheposition verschwenkt wird, wird das Riegelelement 9 durch das weitere Federelement automatisch aus der Verriegelungsposition wegbewegt, wodurch die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung freigegeben wird. Damit kann ein einfaches Lösen der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung aus der Ruheposition durch nur einen einzigen Handgriff erfolgen. In one embodiment, not shown, also a further spring element may be provided, which acts on the locking element away from the locking position. In the locking position shown, the locking element is frictionally held by the lateral loading of Kopp elungs device and / or by additional elements also form-fitting. However, as soon as the large-area and therefore easy-to-use Kopp elungs device 7 is slightly moved away from the locking element 9, that is still further pivoted in the direction of the coupling position to the rest position, the locking element 9 is automatically moved away by the further spring element from the locking position, whereby the Kopp elungs device is released. Thus, a simple release of Kopp elungs device from the rest position can be done by a single handle.
In Figur 3 ist eine perspektivische Darstellung einer ersten alternativen Ausführungsform des stapelbaren Systembehälter von Figur 1 gezeigt, in welcher eine Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7' in der Ruheposition mittels eines ersten alternativen Riegelelements 9' arretiert ist. Das erste alternative Riegelelement 9' ist wie auch das Riegelelement 9 der zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsform als Schieber ausgebildet, im Unterschied hierzu ist das Riegelelement 9' beweglich an der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7' befestigt. Mittels des Riegelelements 9' kann die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7' ebenfalls in der gezeigten Ruheposition lösbar arretiert werden. Gleiche Merkmale sind nachfolgend mit denselben Bezugszeichen versehen. In Figur 4 ist eine Detailansicht eines Schnittes durch den Bereich der Koppelungsvorrichtung 7' von Figur 3 gezeigt. Wie dort zu entnehmen ist, ist die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7' in der eingeschwenkten Ruheposition angeordnet, in welcher die Gegenelemente 13 a, 13b von der Seitenwand 6 weg in die Aussparung 11 eingeschwenkt sind. Das als Schieber ausgebildete Riegelelement 9' ist in einer durchgehenden Aussparung 14 in der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7' angeordnet und weist an der zur Seitenwand 6 gerichteten Außenseite einen Griffabschnitt 10' mit mehreren Halterippen auf. An einer der Außenseite gegenüberliegenden Rückseite ist an dem Riegelelement 9' ein hakenförmiges Element 15 vorgesehen, welches eine an dem Bodenteil 2 und insbesondere in der Aufnahmemulde 11 angeordnete Rastnase 16 in der gezeigten Verriegelungsposition des Riegelelements 9' haltend hintergreift und damit die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7' formschlüssig in der Ruheposition hält. In Figure 3 is a perspective view of a first alternative embodiment of the stackable system container of Figure 1 is shown, in which a Kopp elung device 7 'is locked in the rest position by means of a first alternative locking element 9'. The first alternative locking element 9 'is formed as well as the locking element 9 of the embodiment described above as a slide, in contrast, the locking element 9' is movably attached to the Kopp elungs device 7 '. By means of the locking element 9 ', the Kopp elung device 7' are also releasably locked in the rest position shown. Identical features are provided below with the same reference numerals. FIG. 4 shows a detailed view of a section through the region of the coupling device 7 'of FIG. 3. As can be seen there, the Kopp elungs device 7 'is arranged in the pivoted-in rest position in which the counter-elements 13 a, 13 b are pivoted away from the side wall 6 in the recess 11. Trained as a slide locking element 9 'is disposed in a continuous recess 14 in the Kopp elungs device 7' and has on the side wall 6 directed outside a handle portion 10 'with a plurality of retaining ribs. On a rear side opposite the rear side, a hook-shaped element 15 is provided on the locking element 9 ', which has a locking lug 16 arranged on the base part 2 and in particular in the receiving recess 11 in the shown locking position of the locking element 9 'engages behind and thus holds the Kopp elungs device 7' positively in the rest position.
Wie der Figur 4 zudem zu entnehmen ist, weist die Seitenwand 6 mit der Aufnahmemulde 11 in Richtung eines Innenraums 17 des Bodenteils 2 eine geschlossene ebene Wandung auf, so dass der Innenraum 17 einen Stauraum mit geraden Seitenflächen bildet. Zudem weist das Bodenteil 2 einen vertikalen Positionierstift 18 auf, welcher zwischen den Gegenelementen 13 a, 13b der Koppelungsvorrichtung 7' angeordnet und zum Eingriff in eine zwischen den Koppelungselementen 12a, 12b angeordnete Positionieraufnahme 19 an dem Deckelteil 3 ausgebildet ist. In vertikaler Richtung sind der Positionierstift 18 und die Positionieraufnahme 19 exakt untereinander angeordnet, so dass bei einer Stapelung baugleicher Systembehälter der Positionierstift 18 eines oberen Systembehälters zur gegenseitigen Positionierung der Systembehälter in die Positionieraufnahme eines unteren Behälters vorstehen kann. In Figur 5 ist eine Detailansicht eines Schnittes durch den Bereich der Koppelungsvorrichtung 7' gezeigt, wobei sich hierbei die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7' in der ausgeschwenkten Koppelungsposition befindet. Das Riegelelement 9' ist dabei von der in Figur 4 gezeigten unteren Verriegelungsposition in eine obere Öffnungsposition bewegt worden, was beispielsweise durch den Griffabschnitt 10' einfach möglich ist. In der gezeigten Position hintergreift das hakenförmige Element 15 an dem Riegelelement 9' die Rastnase 16 an dem Bodenteil nicht mehr, so dass die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7' zusammen mit dem Riegelelement 9' unterstützt durch das nicht dargestellte Federelement in die Koppelungsposition gedrückt wird. In der Koppelungsposition sind die Gegenelemente 13a, 13b in Richtung aus der Aufnahmemulde heraus und zu der Seitenfläche 6 hin angeordnet, so dass diese in entsprechende Koppelungselemente 12a, 12b eines darunter angeordneten baugleichen Systembehälters haltend vorstehen können. As can also be seen from FIG. 4, the side wall 6 with the receiving trough 11 in the direction of an interior 17 of the bottom part 2 has a closed flat wall, so that the interior 17 forms a storage space with straight side surfaces. In addition, the bottom part 2 has a vertical positioning pin 18, which is arranged between the counter-elements 13 a, 13 b of the coupling device 7 'and adapted to engage in a disposed between the coupling elements 12 a, 12 b positioning receptacle 19 on the cover part 3. In the vertical direction of the positioning pin 18 and the positioning receptacle 19 are arranged exactly below each other, so that in a stacking identical system container of the positioning pin 18 of an upper system container for mutual positioning of the system container may protrude into the positioning of a lower container.

In Figur 8 ist eine Detailansicht eines Schnittes durch den Bereich der Koppelungsvorrichtung 7"gezeigt, wobei die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7" in der ausgeschwenkten Koppelungsposition angeordnet ist. Das Riegelelement 9" ist dabei von der in Figur 7 gezeigten Verriegelungsposition in eine Öffnungsposition gedreht worden, was beispielsweise durch den Griffabschnitt 10" einfach möglich ist. In der gezeigten Position hintergreift das hakenförmige Element 15 an dem Riegelelement 9" die Rastnase 16 an dem Bodenteil nicht mehr, so dass die Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7" zusammen mit dem Riegelelement 9" unterstützt durch das nicht dargestellte Federelement in die Koppelungsposition gedrückt wird. In der Koppelungsposition sind die Gegenelemente 13a, 13b ebenfalls in Richtung aus der Aufnahmemulde heraus und zu der Seitenfläche 6 hin angeordnet, so dass diese in entsprechende Koppelungselemente 12a, 12b eines darunter angeordneten baugleichen Systembehälters haltend vorstehen können. Die Drehposition der Verriegelungsposition und der Öffnungsposition können jeweils durch entsprechende Anschläge zwischen dem Riegelelement 9" und der Koppelungsvorrichtung 7" definiert sein. FIG. 8 shows a detailed view of a section through the region of the coupling device 7 ", wherein the coupling device 7" is arranged in the pivoted-out coupling position. The locking element 9 "has been rotated from the locking position shown in Figure 7 in an open position, which, for example, by In the position shown, the hook-shaped element 15 engages behind the locking element 9 "the locking lug 16 on the bottom part no longer, so that the Kopp elung device 7" together with the locking element 9 "supported by the not shown Spring element is pressed in the coupling position. In the coupling position, the counter-elements 13a, 13b are also arranged in the direction of the receiving trough out and to the side surface 6, so that they can protrude holding in corresponding coupling elements 12a, 12b of a structurally identical system container arranged underneath. The rotational position of the locking position and the opening position can each be defined by corresponding stops between the locking element 9 "and the coupling device 7".
Zwischen dem Riegelelement 9' und der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7' kann ebenfalls ein weiteres Federelement in Form einer Drehfeder vorgesehen sein, welches das Riegelelement 9' in die Verriegelungsposition oder die Öffnungsposition vorspannt, so dass wahlweise ein automatisches Öffnen oder Verriegeln beim Betätigen der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7' ermöglicht wird., wenn mittels entsprechender Schrägen an dem hakenförmigen Element 15 und/oder der Rastnase 16 eine automatische Verschiebung beim gegenseitigen Kontakt erfolgt. Die Koppelungselemente I Ia, I Ib sind bei den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen als Taschen bzw. Aussparungen ausgebildet, diese können jedoch auch beispielsweise als Vorsprünge ausgebildet sein. Die Gegenelemente 12a, 12b sind hierbei korrespondierend zu den Koppelungselementen I Ia, 1 lb als Taschen bzw. Aussparungen auszubilden. Neben der Anordnung der Koppelungselemente 12a, 12b vertikal über den Gegenelementen 13a, 13b kann grundsätzlich auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Koppelungselemente 12a bzw. 12b jeweils in der Drehebene der Gegenelemente 13a bzw. 13b um die Schwenkachse 9 angeordnet sind. Hierdurch wird gewährleistet, dass bei mehreren exakt übereinander positionierten, baugleichen Systembehältern 1, , 1 " die Gegenelemente 13a, 13b des oberen Systembehälters in der Koppelungsposition in die Koppelungselemente 12a, 12b des unteren Systembehälters formschlüssig haltend eingreifen können. Between the locking element 9 'and the Kopp elungs device 7' may also be provided another spring element in the form of a torsion spring, which biases the locking element 9 'in the locking position or the open position, so that either an automatic opening or locking elungs when operating the Kopp Device 7 'is possible., If by means of corresponding bevels on the hook-shaped element 15 and / or the locking lug 16 is an automatic displacement in mutual contact. The coupling elements I Ia, I Ib are formed in the embodiments shown as pockets or recesses, but these may also be formed for example as projections. The counter-elements 12a, 12b are in this case corresponding to the coupling elements I Ia, 1 Ib form as pockets or recesses. In addition to the arrangement of the coupling elements 12a, 12b vertically above the counter-elements 13a, 13b, it can basically also be provided that the coupling elements 12a and 12b are respectively arranged in the plane of rotation of the counter-elements 13a and 13b about the pivot axis 9. This ensures that, in the case of several identical system containers 1, 1 "positioned exactly above one another, the counter elements 13a, 13b of the upper system container can interlock positively in the coupling position in the coupling elements 12a, 12b of the lower system container.
Um eine Arretierung des Riegelelements 9, 9', 9" in der Verriegelungs- und/oder Öffnungsposition zu erreichen, kann auch eine Rastvorrichtung vorgesehen, welche beispielsweise als bevorzugt elastisch gelagerter Rastvorsprung in Form einer Rastkugel oder eines Raststegs ausgebildet ist, welcher in eine korrespondierende Rastausnehmung haltend eingreift. Mittels einer definierten Kraft kann dabei die Rastvorrichtung überwunden werden, was verhindert, dass sich das Riegelelement unbeabsichtigt löst.

In Figur 9 ist eine perspektivische Darstellung eines weiteren stapelbaren Systembehälters " gezeigt, bei welchem eine entsprechende Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7" ' mittels eines dritten alternativen Riegelelements 9" ' in der Ruheposition arretiert ist. Das Riegelelement 9" ' ist hierbei als separates Bauteil ausgebildet und wird zum Arretieren der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7" ' in der Ruheposition in einen Spalt zwischen der Koppelungsvorrichtung 7" ' und dem Bodenteil 2 eingeschoben, wodurch die beiden Bauteile gegeneinander verspannt werden. Dies ermöglicht eine besonders kostengünstige Herstellung, da die Riegelelemente 9"' als einfache, bevorzugt keilförmige Platten ausgebildet sein können und an den Systembehältern keine besonderen weiteren Merkmale vorzusehen sind. Gerade in der Logistik können diese Riegelelemente 9" ' auch wiederverwendet werden, wodurch sich zusätzliche Vorteile ergeben. Im übrigen identische Bauteile und Komponenten sind mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen. Wie zu erkennen ist, weist das Riegelelement 9" ' eine im Wesentlichen flache Bauform auf, wobei an einem Halteabschnitt 20 des Riegelelements 9" ' Halteelemente wie Stege, Nuten oder eine besondere Beschichtung vorgesehen sind, um die Reibung zu erhöhen und damit das Greifen und Lösen des Riegelelements 9" ' aus der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7"' zu erleichtern. 9 shows a perspective view of a further stackable system container "in which a corresponding coupling device 7" 'is locked in the rest position by means of a third alternative locking element 9 "'." The locking element 9 "'is designed as a separate component and is inserted to lock the Kopp elung device 7 "'in the rest position in a gap between the coupling device 7"' and the bottom part 2, whereby the two components are braced against each other. This allows a particularly cost-effective production since the locking elements 9 "'can be designed as simple, preferably wedge-shaped plates and no special further features can be provided on the system containers Benefits arise. Otherwise identical components and components are provided with the same reference numerals. As can be seen, the locking element 9 '"has a substantially flat design, wherein on a holding portion 20 of the locking element 9' 'holding elements such as webs, grooves or a special coating are provided to increase the friction and thus the gripping and Loosen the locking element 9 "'from the Kopp elung device 7"' to facilitate.
Wie sich insbesondere aus der Detailansicht eines Schnitts durch den Bereich der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7" ' von Figur 9 in Figur 10 ergibt, weist das Riegelelement 9" ' einen keilförmigen Spannabschnitt 21 auf, welcher zwischen das Bodenteil 2, insbesondere den Teil des Bodenabschnitts 2 in der Aufnahmemulde 11, und der Kopp elungs Vorrichtung 7" ' in der Ruheposition eingesteckt ist und dort reibschlüssig gehalten wird. Dieser Spannabschnitt 21 kann auch zahnartige Vorsprünge aufweisen, mittels derer die Reibung gegenüber dem Bodenteil 2 und der Koppelungsvorrichtung 7"' zusätzlich erhöht wird. As is apparent in particular from the detailed view of a section through the area of the Kopp elungs device 7 "'of Figure 9 in Figure 10, the locking element 9' 'a wedge-shaped clamping portion 21, which between the bottom part 2, in particular the part of the bottom portion in the receiving recess 11, and the Kopp elungs device 7 "'is inserted in the rest position and frictionally held there .This clamping portion 21 may also have tooth-like projections, by means of which the friction against the bottom part 2 and the coupling device 7"' is additionally increased ,
Zwischen dem Halteabschnitt 20 und dem Spannabschnitt 21 ist ein Gelenk in Form eines Filmscharniers 22 vorgesehen, wodurch der Spannabschnitt 21 gegenüber dem Halteabschnitt 20 verschwenkt werden kann. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist die Länge des Halteabschnitts 20 derart angepasst, dass dieser mit dem oberen freien Ende an dem Bodenteil 2 kraftschlüssig ansteht und hierdurch in der Position gehalten wird. Zudem kann der Halteabschnitt 20 an dem oberen freien Ende auch eine Kontur aufweisen, welche an die Kontur des Bodenabschnitts 2 an der Kontaktstelle angepasst ist, beispielsweise eine Verrundung. Between the holding portion 20 and the clamping portion 21, a hinge in the form of a film hinge 22 is provided, whereby the clamping portion 21 relative to the holding portion 20 can be pivoted. In the embodiment shown, the length of the holding portion 20 is adapted so that this with the upper free end on the bottom part 2 frictionally pending and thereby held in position. In addition, the holding portion 20 at the upper free end also have a contour which is adapted to the contour of the bottom portion 2 at the contact point, for example a rounding.
Zur Demontage kann der Halteabschnitt 20 mit leichter Zugkraft aus der gezeigten Position gelöst und nach unten verschwenkt werden. Durch die großflächige Ausbildung des Halteabschnitts 20 und die gegebenenfalls ausgebildeten weiteren Halteelemente kann der Halteabschnitt 20 leicht gegriffen und der Spannabschnitt 21 aus dem Eingriff in dem Spalt zwischen dem Bodenabschnitt 2 und der Koppelungsvorrichtung 7" ' herausgezogen werden. For disassembly, the holding portion 20 can be released with a slight tensile force from the position shown and pivoted downwards. Due to the large-area design of the holding portion 20 and the optionally formed further holding elements, the holding portion 20 can be easily grasped and the clamping portion 21 are pulled out of engagement in the gap between the bottom portion 2 and the coupling device 7 "'.
