Definitions
- the invention relates to a portable container made of plastic with a laterally encircling wall, a bottom and at least one belt for supporting the container, wherein the wall and the bottom define an inner region, the wall has an upper peripheral edge and the belt in the region of its ends two substantially opposite sides of the wall is attached to a respective attachment point from the outside to the wall.
- Portable containers for household and garden such as recycling containers or for the transport of small animals are well known. These can be made of plastic, metal or wood. If these containers are not needed, they usually have to be stored with a high space requirement. The same applies if several containers are used at the same time. For example, several containers for plastic, paper and residual waste are required for the collection of household waste, which must be placed side by side in a designated space. In order to reduce the space requirement of such containers, therefore, stackable containers are often used. These are characterized by the fact that they have a laterally encircling wall, a bottom and a lid. By a first container is placed on the lid of a second container, such containers can be stored or placed to save space. Furthermore, such containers are so-called nestable containers.
- these containers can be nested or nested in the empty state or storage state, so as to save volume when storing several containers.
- Such a nestability results in particular from the production of these containers by injection molding, whereby such injection-molded parts have a taper.
- this nestability has to As a result, the containers must be provided for stacking with a lid on which a second container can be placed or placed without this slipping into the interior of the first container.
- such containers For transport, such containers usually have handles, which are arranged hingedly on two opposite sides of the upper edge of the container.
- the problem here is, however, that the handle rests in the stacked storage condition of the container on a wall of the container, whereby a juxtaposition of a plurality of stacked containers is hindered. This has a negative effect on the space requirement of the container in the stacked state.
- such containers have a lid on which another container can be placed.
- this lid must have a shape matching the bottom area of the second container in order to ensure sufficient stability of the stacked containers. If such containers are produced by injection molding, then another injection mold must be produced for the lid. The need for this additional injection mold leads to higher production costs.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a portable container whose space requirements, production costs and handling over the containers known from the prior art are optimized.
- a plastic portable container thus has a laterally encircling wall, a bottom and at least one strap for carrying the container, the wall and the bottom enclosing an inner region, the wall having an upper peripheral edge and the belt in the region its ends is attached to a respective attachment point from the outside to the wall.

- the bottom and the wall are formed as a one-piece injection molded part.
- the belt In a free state, the belt is not secured by the securing means at the upper peripheral edge of the wall. This means that even its effective length is not shortened. In a secured state, however, the belt is releasably secured by means of the securing means at the upper peripheral edge of the wall or is held at the upper peripheral edge of the wall. This releasable securing or holding the belt shortens its effective length.
- the belt is in the free state about the attachment points rotatably mounted on the wall, in particular in the attachment points rotatable or pivotable about a longitudinal axis of a mounting opening in the wall.
- This design allows the belt to be gripped and transported by a user in the free state.
- the belt By the belt in the free state around the attachment points rotatably mounted on the wall, the belt allows maximum comfort for the user.
- the belt is secured in the secured state by securing the securing means in the region of the peripheral upper edge releasably and deflected towards the inner area.
- the releasable securing of the securing means thus causes a deflection of the belt.
- the belt If the belt is deflected in the secured state to the interior, it allows that another container can be placed on the first container by the second container is inserted with its bottom in the inner region of the first container. The second container is held by the deflected into the inner belt and secured against further immersion in the first container.
- the belt thus assumes the function of a lid, which made possible in the prior art, a stacking of containers only.
- the container has a second belt arranged at a distance from the first belt, whereby the stability of the second container in the inner region of the first container is increased.
- This construction allows the stacking of several containers one above the other in a simple manner, without having to arrange a lid between the containers.
- Such a construction method has a positive effect on the production costs, as can be dispensed with an additional component of the container. Furthermore, the handling of the container is facilitated.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the portable container provides that the belt is connected at the attachment points by a fastening means with the wall.

The belt 14, 15 has, spaced from the attachment points 6, 7, 8, 9, at least one securing means 16, 17, 18, 19 in order to releasably secure the belt 14, 15 in the region of the peripheral upper edge 5.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen tragbaren BehĂ€lter aus Kunststoff mit einer seitlich umlaufenden Wandung, einem Boden und mindestens einem Riemen zum Tragen des BehĂ€lters, wobei die Wandung und der Boden einen Innenbereich definieren, die Wandung einen oberen umlaufenden Rand aufweist und der Riemen im Bereich seiner Enden an zwei im Wesentlichen gegenĂŒberliegenden Seiten der Wandung an jeweils einem Befestigungspunkt von auĂen an der Wandung befestigt ist.The invention relates to a portable container made of plastic with a laterally encircling wall, a bottom and at least one belt for supporting the container, wherein the wall and the bottom define an inner region, the wall has an upper peripheral edge and the belt in the region of its ends two substantially opposite sides of the wall is attached to a respective attachment point from the outside to the wall.
Tragbare BehĂ€lter fĂŒr den Haushalt und Garten wie beispielsweise Recyclingcontainer oder fĂŒr den Transport von Kleintieren sind hinlĂ€nglich bekannt. Diese können aus Kunststoff, Metall oder Holz ausgebildet sein. Werden diese BehĂ€lter nicht benötigt, mĂŒssen diese meist mit hohem Platzbedarf gelagert werden. Selbiges gilt auch fĂŒr den Fall, dass mehrere BehĂ€lter gleichzeitig benutzt werden. Beispielsweise werden fĂŒr das Sammeln von HaushaltsmĂŒll mehrere BehĂ€lter fĂŒr Kunststoff-, Papier- und RestmĂŒll benötigt, welche nebeneinander in einen dafĂŒr vorgesehenen Raum gestellt werden mĂŒssen. Um den Platzbedarf derartiger BehĂ€lter zu verringern, werden daher oft ĂŒbereinander stapelbare BehĂ€lter verwendet. Diese zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sie eine seitlich umlaufende Wandung, einen Boden sowie einen Deckel aufweisen. Indem ein erster BehĂ€lter auf den Deckel eines zweiten BehĂ€lters aufgesetzt wird, können derartige BehĂ€lter platzsparend gelagert oder aufgestellt werden. Weiterhin handelt es sich bei derartigen BehĂ€ltern um sogenannte nestbare BehĂ€lter. Das bedeutet, dass diese BehĂ€lter im Leerzustand bzw. Lagerzustand ineinandergesteckt bzw. genestet werden können, um so Volumen beim Lagern von mehreren BehĂ€ltern einzusparen. Eine solche Nestbarkeit resultiert insbesondere aus der Herstellung dieser BehĂ€lter im Spritzgussverfahren, wodurch derartige Spritzgussformteile eine KonizitĂ€t aufweisen. Diese Nestbarkeit hat jedoch zur Folge, dass die BehĂ€lter zum Ăbereinanderstapeln mit einem Deckel versehen werden mĂŒssen, auf welchen ein zweiter BehĂ€lter aufgesetzt bzw. aufgestellt werden kann, ohne dass dieser in den Innenbereich des ersten BehĂ€lters hineinrutscht.Portable containers for household and garden such as recycling containers or for the transport of small animals are well known. These can be made of plastic, metal or wood. If these containers are not needed, they usually have to be stored with a high space requirement. The same applies if several containers are used at the same time. For example, several containers for plastic, paper and residual waste are required for the collection of household waste, which must be placed side by side in a designated space. In order to reduce the space requirement of such containers, therefore, stackable containers are often used. These are characterized by the fact that they have a laterally encircling wall, a bottom and a lid. By a first container is placed on the lid of a second container, such containers can be stored or placed to save space. Furthermore, such containers are so-called nestable containers. This means that these containers can be nested or nested in the empty state or storage state, so as to save volume when storing several containers. Such a nestability results in particular from the production of these containers by injection molding, whereby such injection-molded parts have a taper. However, this nestability has to As a result, the containers must be provided for stacking with a lid on which a second container can be placed or placed without this slipping into the interior of the first container.
Zum Transport weisen solche BehĂ€lter ĂŒblicherweise Henkel auf, welche auf zwei gegenĂŒberliegenden Seiten des oberen Randes des BehĂ€lters klappbar angeordnet sind. Problematisch ist hierbei jedoch, dass der Henkel im gestapelten Lagerzustand des BehĂ€lters an einer Wandung des BehĂ€lters anliegt, wodurch ein Aneinanderreihen mehrerer gestapelter BehĂ€lter behindert wird. Dies wirkt sich negativ auf den Platzbedarf des BehĂ€lters im gestapelten Zustand aus.For transport, such containers usually have handles, which are arranged hingedly on two opposite sides of the upper edge of the container. The problem here is, however, that the handle rests in the stacked storage condition of the container on a wall of the container, whereby a juxtaposition of a plurality of stacked containers is hindered. This has a negative effect on the space requirement of the container in the stacked state.
Wie bereits zuvor erwĂ€hnt, besitzen derartige BehĂ€lter einen Deckel, auf welchen ein weiterer BehĂ€lter aufgesetzt werden kann. Dieser Deckel muss hierfĂŒr eine zum Bodenbereich des zweiten BehĂ€lters passende Form aufweisen, um eine ausreichende StabilitĂ€t der gestapelten BehĂ€lter zu gewĂ€hrleisten. Werden solche BehĂ€lter im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt, so muss fĂŒr den Deckel ein weiteres SpritzgieĂwerkzeug hergestellt werden. Die Notwendigkeit dieses zusĂ€tzlichen SpritzgieĂwerkzeugs fĂŒhrt zu höheren Produktionskosten.As previously mentioned, such containers have a lid on which another container can be placed. For this purpose, this lid must have a shape matching the bottom area of the second container in order to ensure sufficient stability of the stacked containers. If such containers are produced by injection molding, then another injection mold must be produced for the lid. The need for this additional injection mold leads to higher production costs.
Damit ein BehĂ€lter gefĂŒllt oder entleert werden kann, mĂŒssen die auf ihn gestapelten weiteren BehĂ€lter vom Benutzer abgenommen und der Deckel entfernt werden. Die zusĂ€tzliche Abnahme des Deckels wirkt sich negativ auf die Handhabbarkeit derartiger BehĂ€lter aus.For a container to be filled or emptied, the other containers stacked on it must be removed by the user and the lid removed. The additional decrease of the lid has a negative effect on the handling of such containers.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen tragbaren BehĂ€lter anzugeben, dessen Platzbedarf, Produktionskosten sowie Handhabbarkeit gegenĂŒber den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten BehĂ€ltern optimiert sind.The present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a portable container whose space requirements, production costs and handling over the containers known from the prior art are optimized.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemÀà durch einen tragbaren BehĂ€lter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der AnsprĂŒche 2 bis 19.This object is achieved by a portable container with the features of
Ein erfindungsgemĂ€Ăer tragbarer BehĂ€lter aus Kunststoff weist somit eine seitlich umlaufende Wandung, einen Boden und mindestens einen Riemen zum Tragen des BehĂ€lters auf, wobei die Wandung und der Boden einen Innenbereich umschlieĂen bzw. definieren, die Wandung einen oberen umlaufenden Rand aufweist und der Riemen im Bereich seiner Enden an jeweils einem Befestigungspunkt von auĂen an der Wandung befestigt ist. Bei dem erfindungsgemĂ€Ăen tragbaren BehĂ€lter ist es wesentlich, dass der Riemen, beabstandet von den Befestigungspunkten, zumindest ein Sicherungsmittel aufweist, um den Riemen im Bereich des umlaufenden oberen Randes lösbar zu sichern.A plastic portable container according to the invention thus has a laterally encircling wall, a bottom and at least one strap for carrying the container, the wall and the bottom enclosing an inner region, the wall having an upper peripheral edge and the belt in the region its ends is attached to a respective attachment point from the outside to the wall. In the portable container according to the invention, it is essential that the belt, spaced from the attachment points, at least one securing means to releasably secure the belt in the region of the peripheral upper edge.
Im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung handelt es sich bei dem Riemen um ein Band bzw. eine bandförmige Haltevorrichtung aus Kunststoff, welches vom Benutzer ergriffen werden kann, um den BehĂ€lter zu transportieren. Wie bereits zuvor erwĂ€hnt, weist dieser Riemen beabstandet von den Befestigungspunkten bzw. in Projektion oberhalb des umlaufenden oberen Randes zumindest ein Sicherungsmittel auf, sodass dieser Riemen im Bereich des umlaufenden oberen Randes lösbar gesichert werden kann. Durch dieses Sichern wird der Riemen am umlaufenden oberen Rand der Wandung gehalten und vor einem unbeabsichtigten Lösen gehindert. Weiterhin verkĂŒrzt sich hierdurch dessen wirksame LĂ€nge.For the purposes of the present invention, the belt is a band or a band-shaped holding device made of plastic, which can be grasped by the user in order to transport the container. As already mentioned above, this belt has spaced apart from the attachment points or in projection above the peripheral upper edge at least one securing means, so that this belt can be releasably secured in the region of the peripheral upper edge. By this securing the belt is held on the peripheral upper edge of the wall and prevented from accidental loosening. Furthermore, this shortens its effective length.
In dem Innenbereich des BehĂ€lters können beispielsweise Leergut aus Glas oder Kunststoff, MĂŒll, WĂ€sche oder dergleichen gelagert oder transportiert werden. Der BehĂ€lter kann weiterhin auch als TransportbehĂ€ltnis bzw. Einkaufstasche verwendet werden.In the interior of the container empties of glass or plastic, waste, laundry or the like can be stored or transported, for example. The container can also be used as a transport container or shopping bag.
Es liegt hierbei im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass der Boden und die Wandung einstĂŒckig ausgebildet sind. Der Boden und die Wandung können jedoch auch mehrstĂŒckig ausgebildet und durch geeignete Verbindungsmittel miteinander verbunden sein. Bevorzugt ist jedoch, dass der Boden und die Wandung als einstĂŒckiges Spritzgussformteil ausgebildet sind.It is within the scope of the invention that the bottom and the wall are integrally formed. However, the bottom and the wall can also be formed in several pieces and by suitable connecting means with each other be connected. However, it is preferred that the bottom and the wall are formed as a one-piece injection molded part.
In einem freien Zustand ist der Riemen nicht mittels des Sicherungsmittels am oberen umlaufenden Rand der Wandung gesichert. Das bedeutet, dass auch dessen wirksame LĂ€nge nicht verkĂŒrzt ist. In einem gesicherten Zustand hingegen ist der Riemen mittels des Sicherungsmittels am oberen umlaufenden Rand der Wandung lösbar gesichert bzw. wird am oberen umlaufenden Rand der Wandung gehalten. Durch dieses lösbare Sichern bzw. Halten des Riemens verkĂŒrzt sich dessen wirksame LĂ€nge.In a free state, the belt is not secured by the securing means at the upper peripheral edge of the wall. This means that even its effective length is not shortened. In a secured state, however, the belt is releasably secured by means of the securing means at the upper peripheral edge of the wall or is held at the upper peripheral edge of the wall. This releasable securing or holding the belt shortens its effective length.
In einer ersten vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des tragbaren BehĂ€lters ist der Riemen im freien Zustand um die Befestigungspunkte drehbar an der Wandung angeordnet, und zwar insbesondere in den Befestigungspunkten drehbar oder um eine LĂ€ngsachse einer Befestigungsöffnung in der Wandung schwenkbar. Diese Konstruktionsweise ermöglicht, dass der Riemen im freien Zustand von einem Benutzer ergriffen und transportiert werden kann. Indem der Riemen im freien Zustand um die Befestigungspunkte drehbar an der Wandung angeordnet ist, ermöglicht der Riemen einen maximalen Tragekomfort fĂŒr den Benutzer.In a first advantageous embodiment of the portable container, the belt is in the free state about the attachment points rotatably mounted on the wall, in particular in the attachment points rotatable or pivotable about a longitudinal axis of a mounting opening in the wall. This design allows the belt to be gripped and transported by a user in the free state. By the belt in the free state around the attachment points rotatably mounted on the wall, the belt allows maximum comfort for the user.
Bevorzugt ist der Riemen im gesicherten Zustand durch Sichern des Sicherungsmittels im Bereich des umlaufenden oberen Randes lösbar gesichert und zum Innenbereich hin umgelenkt. Bevorzugterweise bewirkt das lösbare Sichern des Sicherungsmittels also eine Umlenkung des Riemens.Preferably, the belt is secured in the secured state by securing the securing means in the region of the peripheral upper edge releasably and deflected towards the inner area. Preferably, the releasable securing of the securing means thus causes a deflection of the belt.
Ist der Riemen im gesicherten Zustand zum Innenbereich umgelenkt, so ermöglicht er, dass ein weiterer BehĂ€lter auf den ersten BehĂ€lter aufgesetzt werden kann, indem der zweite BehĂ€lter mit seinem Boden in den Innenbereich des ersten BehĂ€lters eingefĂŒhrt wird. Der zweite BehĂ€lter wird dabei von dem in den Innenbereich umgelenkten Riemen gehalten und gegen ein weiteres Eintauchen in den ersten BehĂ€lter gesichert. Der Riemen ĂŒbernimmt somit die Funktion eines Deckels, der im Stand der Technik ein Ăbereinanderstellen von BehĂ€ltern erst ermöglichte.If the belt is deflected in the secured state to the interior, it allows that another container can be placed on the first container by the second container is inserted with its bottom in the inner region of the first container. The second container is held by the deflected into the inner belt and secured against further immersion in the first container. The belt thus assumes the function of a lid, which made possible in the prior art, a stacking of containers only.
Es ist hierbei vorteilhaft, wenn der BehĂ€lter einen zum ersten Riemen beabstandet angeordneten zweiten Riemen aufweist, wodurch die StabilitĂ€t des zweiten BehĂ€lters im Innenbereich des ersten BehĂ€lters erhöht wird. Diese Konstruktionsweise erlaubt in einfacher Weise das Stapeln mehrerer BehĂ€lter ĂŒbereinander, ohne dass zwischen den BehĂ€ltern ein Deckel angeordnet werden muss. Eine derartige Konstruktionsweise wirkt sich positiv auf die Produktionskosten aus, da auf ein zusĂ€tzliches Bauteil des BehĂ€lters verzichtet werden kann. Weiterhin wird das Handling des BehĂ€lters erleichtert.It is advantageous in this case if the container has a second belt arranged at a distance from the first belt, whereby the stability of the second container in the inner region of the first container is increased. This construction allows the stacking of several containers one above the other in a simple manner, without having to arrange a lid between the containers. Such a construction method has a positive effect on the production costs, as can be dispensed with an additional component of the container. Furthermore, the handling of the container is facilitated.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des tragbaren BehĂ€lters sieht vor, dass der Riemen an den Befestigungspunkten durch ein Befestigungsmittel mit der Wandung verbunden ist. Das Befestigungsmittel kann an den Riemen angeformt sein, beispielsweise als Rastnase oder Zapfen mit kopfseitiger Verdickung. Vorzugsweise handelt es sich jedoch um ein separates Befestigungsmittel, das beispielsweise als Knopf ausgebildet ist und den Riemen in einer Rast- oder Clipverbindung drehbar an der Wandung befestigt. HierfĂŒr kann der Knopf drehbar oder als Drehanker ausgebildet sein.A further advantageous embodiment of the portable container provides that the belt is connected at the attachment points by a fastening means with the wall. The fastening means may be formed on the belt, for example as a latching nose or pin with head-side thickening. Preferably, however, it is a separate fastening means, which is formed for example as a button and the belt in a latching or clip connection rotatably attached to the wall. For this purpose, the knob can be rotatable or designed as a rotary armature.
Um den Riemen im Bereich des umlaufenden oberen Randes lösbar zu sichern, sieht eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des tragbaren BehĂ€lters vor, dass die Wandung zumindest eine Sicherungsöffnung aufweist, in welche das Sicherungsmittel des Riemens einsteckbar, einschiebbar und/oder einhĂ€ngbar ist. Hierdurch kann in einfacher Weise der Riemen am umlaufenden oberen Rand der Wandung vom Benutzer gesichert werden, wobei diese Sicherung als lösbare Verbindung ausgebildet ist. Somit kann das Sicherungsmittel auch wieder in einfacher Weise vom Benutzer aus der Sicherungsöffnung herausgezogen werden, wodurch der Riemen in seinen freien, um die beiden Befestigungsmittel drehbaren Zustand ĂŒberfĂŒhrt wird.In order to releasably secure the belt in the region of the circumferential upper edge, a further advantageous embodiment of the portable container provides that the wall has at least one securing opening into which the securing means of the belt can be inserted, inserted and / or suspended. As a result, the belt can be secured on the peripheral upper edge of the wall by the user in a simple manner, this fuse is designed as a detachable connection. Thus, the securing means can also be easily pulled out of the fuse opening by the user, whereby the belt is transferred in its free, rotatable about the two fasteners state.
Das Sicherungsmittel ist in einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des tragbaren BehÀlters als Haken ausgebildet. Dieser Haken kann in die Sicherungsöffnung der Wandung eingehakt werden, wodurch ebenfalls eine lösbare Verbindung ausgebildet wird.The securing means is formed in a further advantageous embodiment of the portable container as a hook. This hook can be in the fuse opening be hooked to the wall, which is also a releasable connection is formed.
Umgekehrt liegt es auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, wenn das Sicherungsmittel am Riemen als Ăffnung ausgebildet ist, wĂ€hrend an der Wandung, bevorzugt im Bereich des oberen Randes, Sicherungselemente vorgesehen sind, die in die Ăffnung im Riemen eingreifen können, beispielsweise Zapfen- oder Hakenelemente. Auch Sicherungselemente und Sicherungsmittel, die zusammen einen Klettverschluss oder dergleichen bilden, liegen im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung.Conversely, it is also within the scope of the invention, when the securing means is formed on the belt as an opening, while on the wall, preferably in the region of the upper edge, securing elements are provided which can engage in the opening in the belt, such as pin or hook elements. Also securing elements and securing means, which together form a hook and loop fastener or the like, are within the scope of the present invention.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des BehĂ€lters sieht vor, dass die Wandung eine Aussparung aufweist. Diese Aussparung ist vorzugsweise im Bereich des umlaufenden oberen Randes angeordnet. Wenn der BehĂ€lter im SpritzgieĂverfahren gefertigt wird, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Aussparung durch Absenken des umlaufenden oberen Randes gebildet wird. Die Aussparung ermöglicht das Einbringen von Transportgut oder dergleichen in den tragbaren BehĂ€lter auch dann, wenn mehrere BehĂ€lter, wie zuvor beschrieben, ĂŒbereinander gestellt sind. Es liegt hierbei im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass diese Aussparung als runde, ovale oder eckige Ăffnung ausgebildet sein kann. Hierdurch können u.a. Recyclinggut wie beispielsweise PET-Flaschen oder Papier in den tragbaren BehĂ€lter eingelegt oder eingeworfen werden. Es liegt jedoch auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass der tragbare BehĂ€lter zum Transport von Kleintieren verwendet werden kann.A further advantageous embodiment of the container provides that the wall has a recess. This recess is preferably arranged in the region of the peripheral upper edge. When the container is manufactured by injection molding, it is advantageous if the recess is formed by lowering the circumferential upper edge. The recess allows the introduction of cargo or the like in the portable container even if several containers, as described above, are stacked. It is within the scope of the invention that this recess may be formed as a round, oval or square opening. This can u.a. Recyclable goods such as PET bottles or paper are inserted or inserted into the portable container. However, it is also within the scope of the invention that the portable container for transporting small animals can be used.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des tragbaren BehĂ€lters weist die Wandung zwei StirnwĂ€nde und zwei SeitenwĂ€nde auf, wobei die Aussparung vorzugsweise an einer der zwei StirnwĂ€nde angeordnet ist, wĂ€hrend die Befestigungspunkte der Riemen vorzugsweise an zwei sich gegenĂŒberliegenden SeitenwĂ€nden angeordnet sind. Die SeitenwĂ€nde und/oder die StirnwĂ€nde können vorzugsweise einteilig und/oder mehrteilig ausgebildet sein. Wie bereits zuvor erwĂ€hnt, ist es jedoch vorteilhaft, wenn sowohl die SeitenwĂ€nde als auch die StirnwĂ€nde als einstĂŒckiges Spritzgussformteil ausgebildet sind. Werden die Seiten- und StirnwĂ€nde als einstĂŒckiges Spritzgussformteil hergestellt, können weitere Produktionsschritte wie beispielsweise das Verbinden dieser Seiten- und StirnwĂ€nde untereinander vermieden werden, wodurch weitere Kosten bei der Herstellung des erfindungsgemĂ€Ăen BehĂ€lters eingespart werden können.In a further advantageous embodiment of the portable container, the wall has two end walls and two side walls, wherein the recess is preferably arranged on one of the two end walls, while the attachment points of the belt are preferably arranged on two opposite side walls. The side walls and / or the end walls may preferably be formed in one piece and / or in several parts. As already mentioned above, however, it is advantageous if both the side walls and the end walls are formed as a one-piece injection molded part. Will the Side and end walls manufactured as a one-piece injection molded part, further production steps such as the joining of these side and end walls can be avoided with each other, whereby further costs can be saved in the production of the container according to the invention.
Die Aussparung ist vorzugsweise mit einer Klappe verschlieĂbar, wobei die Klappe bevorzugt mittels zweier an der Wandung angeformten Scharnierzapfen schwenkbar an der Wandung angebracht ist. Bevorzugt sind die Scharnierzapfen am oberen Rand angeformt. Alternativ kann auch umgekehrt die Klappe mit zwei angeformten Schwenkzapfen versehen sein.The recess is preferably closable with a flap, wherein the flap is preferably mounted by means of two integrally formed on the wall hinge pin pivotally mounted on the wall. Preferably, the hinge pins are integrally formed on the upper edge. Alternatively, conversely, the flap can be provided with two molded pivot pins.
Der Riemen ist in einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des tragbaren BehĂ€lters bandförmig und flexibel ausgebildet, wobei der Riemen an dessen Randbereich auf der dem Sicherungsmittel gegenĂŒberliegenden Seite eine umlaufende Abkantung aufweist. Diese Abkantung dient dazu, die StabilitĂ€t des Riemens zu erhöhen. Hierdurch wird die LangzeitstabilitĂ€t des Riemens sowie des BehĂ€lters gewĂ€hrleistet. Weiterhin ermöglicht diese Erhöhung der StabilitĂ€t des Riemens auch den Transport von schwererem Transportgut oder Tieren in dem BehĂ€lter.The belt is band-shaped and flexible in a further advantageous embodiment of the portable container, wherein the belt has on the edge region on the opposite side of the securing means a circumferential fold. This fold serves to increase the stability of the belt. As a result, the long-term stability of the belt and the container is ensured. Furthermore, this increase in the stability of the belt also allows the transport of heavier cargo or animals in the container.
Vorzugsweise ist auch der Riemen als Spritzgussformteil aus Kunststoff ausgestaltet. Besonders bevorzugt kann hierbei der Riemen im Bereich des Sicherungsmittels eine Ausnehmung bzw. einen Durchbruch aufweisen. Diese Ausnehmung ermöglicht ein einfaches SpritzgieĂen des Riemens, ohne dabei Schieber im SpritzgieĂwerkzeug vorsehen zu mĂŒssen. Hierdurch können weitere Herstellungskosten eingespart werden.Preferably, the belt is designed as an injection molded part made of plastic. In this case, the belt may particularly preferably have a recess or an opening in the region of the securing means. This recess allows for easy injection molding of the belt, without having to provide slide in the injection mold. As a result, further manufacturing costs can be saved.
Zur weiteren Erhöhung der StabilitÀt des Riemens weist dieser in einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des tragbaren BehÀlters mittig eine Verdickung auf. Diese Verdickung des Riemens befindet sich vorzugsweise im Griffbereich des Benutzers, wodurch ein Einschneiden der Kanten des Riemens in die HandflÀche eines Benutzers beim Tragen des BehÀlters vermieden wird. Dies wirkt sich positiv auf den Tragekomfort des tragbaren BehÀlters aus.To further increase the stability of the belt has this in a further advantageous embodiment of the portable container in the middle of a thickening. This thickening of the belt is preferably located in the gripping area of the user, thereby avoiding cutting the edges of the belt into the palm of a user when carrying the container. This has a positive effect on the wearing comfort of the portable container.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des tragbaren BehĂ€lters sieht vor, dass der obere umlaufende Rand der Wandung nach auĂen hin abgebogen ist und/oder eine entsprechende Auskragung aufweist. Durch das Abbiegen des oberen umlaufenden Randes werden scharfkantige Bereiche am BehĂ€lter vermieden, wodurch die Benutzerfreundlichkeit des tragbaren BehĂ€lters erhöht wird. Weiterhin fĂŒhrt das Abbiegen bzw. die Auskragung des oberen umlaufenden Randes zu einer Erhöhung der StabilitĂ€t der Wandung.A further advantageous embodiment of the portable container provides that the upper peripheral edge of the wall is bent outwards and / or has a corresponding projection. Bending the top edge eliminates sharp areas on the container, increasing the user-friendliness of the portable container. Furthermore, the bending or the projection of the upper peripheral edge leads to an increase in the stability of the wall.
Weist der BehĂ€lter, wie zuvor beschrieben, eine Aussparung in der Wandung des BehĂ€lters zum Einbringen von Transportgut auf, so weist auch diese Aussparung vorzugsweise einen zum nach auĂen hin abgebogenen Rand der Wandung korrespondierenden Rand auf, welcher vorzugsweise ebenfalls nach auĂen hin abgebogen und/oder ausgekragt ist.If the container, as described above, has a recess in the wall of the container for introducing transported goods, then this recess also preferably has an edge which corresponds to the outwardly bent edge of the wall, which preferably also curves outwards and / or cantilevered.
Der Riemen und/oder die Wandung sind in einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des tragbaren BehĂ€lters aus Polyethylen und/oder Polypropylen oder einer Kombination dieser Materialien ausgebildet. Eine Verwendung dieser Materialien wirkt sich positiv sowohl auf die StabilitĂ€t als auch auf das Gesamtgewicht des BehĂ€lters aus. Dies ermöglicht zum einen, dass mehrere BehĂ€lter ĂŒbereinander gestellt lagerbar sind und zum anderen, dass das Eigengewicht des tragbaren BehĂ€lters gering gehalten ist, wodurch der Tragekomfort fĂŒr den Benutzer weiter verbessert wird. Daraus ergibt sich, dass ein Benutzer den BehĂ€lter auch beispielsweise zum Einkaufen mitnehmen kann, indem er sich den Riemen des gefĂŒllten oder leeren BehĂ€lters um die Schulter legt oder mit einer Hand ergreift, ohne dass ihn ein hohes Eigengewicht des tragbaren BehĂ€lters behindert.The belt and / or the wall are formed in a further advantageous embodiment of the portable container of polyethylene and / or polypropylene or a combination of these materials. Use of these materials has a positive effect on both the stability and the overall weight of the container. This allows, on the one hand, that a plurality of containers can be stored one above the other and, on the other hand, that the dead weight of the portable container is kept low, whereby the wearing comfort for the user is further improved. As a result, a user can also take the container with them for shopping, for example, by wrapping the strap of the filled or empty container around the shoulder or grasping it with one hand, without hindering a high dead weight of the portable container.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemĂ€Ăen BehĂ€lters sieht vor, dass der Boden eine im Vergleich zu einer Abmessung im Bereich des oberen umlaufenden Randes des BehĂ€lters geringere Abmessung aufweist. Diese geringere Abmessung des Bodens bewirkt eine leichte KonizitĂ€t der Wandung und ermöglicht, dass ein zweiter BehĂ€lter in einfacher Weise in den Innenbereich des ersten BehĂ€lters eingesetzt werden und von dem im gesicherten Zustand zum Innenbereich des BehĂ€lters umgelenkten Riemen gehalten werden kann.A further advantageous embodiment of the container according to the invention provides that the bottom has a smaller dimension compared to a dimension in the region of the upper peripheral edge of the container. This smaller dimension of the bottom causes a slight conicity of the wall and allows a second container in a simple manner in the interior be used of the first container and can be held by the deflected in the secured state to the inner region of the container belt.
Die vorliegende Erfindung ermöglicht, einen im freien Zustand beweglich an der Wandung angebrachten Riemen zum Tragen des BehĂ€lters zu verwenden, wĂ€hrend die erfindungsgemĂ€Ăen Sicherungsmittel ein faktisches VerkĂŒrzen des Riemens bewirken, wodurch er, ĂŒber den Rand und den Innenbereich des BehĂ€lters verlaufend, in der Lage ist, einen darauf aufgestellten zweiten BehĂ€lter zu halten bzw. diesen daran zu hindern, in den Innenbereich einzutauchen. So können auch ohne Deckel mehrere BehĂ€lter ĂŒbereinander gestellt werden.The present invention makes it possible to use a belt, which is movably mounted on the wall in the free state, for carrying the container, while the securing means according to the invention effect a virtual shortening of the belt, whereby it is capable of running over the edge and the inner region of the container to keep a second container placed thereon or to prevent it from becoming immersed in the interior. Thus, even without a lid several containers can be placed one above the other.
Durch die bevorzugt vorgesehene drehbare Anbringung des Riemens an der Wandung kann der Riemen in seinem freien Zustand auch vom Rand weggeschwenkt werden, so dass zwei BehÀlter ineinander gestapelt bzw. genestet werden können.Due to the preferably provided rotatable attachment of the belt to the wall of the belt in its free state can also be pivoted away from the edge, so that two containers can be stacked or nested in each other.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung kann der BehĂ€lter wahlweise auch mit einem auf den umlaufenden oberen Rand der Wandung aufsetzbaren Deckel versehen werden. Dieser kann, aber muss nicht verwendet werden, um die volle FunktionalitĂ€t des erfindungsgemĂ€Ăen BehĂ€lters zu erhalten.In the context of the present invention, the container can optionally also be provided with a cover which can be placed on the peripheral upper edge of the wall. This may but need not be used to obtain the full functionality of the container of the invention.
