Definitions
- the invention relates to a stackable transport and / or storage container made of plastic, with side walls articulated to a floor, which can be converted into a transport position parallel to the floor and into an upright storage position, at least one side wall on its outside being equipped with at least one label holder.
- Stackable transport and / or storage containers made of plastic are known in various designs. Because the container in question can assume both a transport position parallel to the floor and an upright storage position, such transport and / or storage containers are particularly suitable for the circular economy. This means that after filling with fruit and vegetables, for example, the transport and / or storage container in question can be transferred to the transport position, cleaned and refilled, for example after the sale.
- the required locking of the side walls with each other in the erected storage position can be done using a rotary lock, as in the EP 2 256 049 B1 the applicant is described by way of example.
- a push lock or slide lock is also possible, as is the subject of WO 00/68099 A1 is.
- the design of the relevant stackable transport and / or storage containers made of plastic not only simplifies cleaning, but such folding boxes are particularly suitable for wholesalers and retailers as reusable containers for transporting and presenting preferably fruits and vegetables.
- At least one side wall is equipped on its outside with at least one label holder, as exemplified in the Fig. 1 of the generic state of the art according to the EP 1 785 360 A1 will be shown.
- the label holder there is obviously designed in a trough-like manner and has a limiting web on the underside and two lateral webs. As a result, the label in question is held on the side and underside.
- the lower boundary web runs practically transverse to the longitudinal extent of the transport and / or storage container in question. This is particularly problematic if the container in question assumes its transport position parallel to the floor and several transport and storage containers are to be stacked on and above one another. Because during these stacking processes or during the upstream cleaning, the containers or transport boxes are mainly moved in their longitudinal direction, so that in practice the lower boundary web of the label holder is often torn off or at least damaged. In addition, such stackable transport and / or storage containers made of plastic are typically cleaned with warm or hot cleaning liquid, so that any bends or weak points in the plastic are particularly attacked during this process. The invention as a whole aims to remedy this.
- the invention is based on the technical problem of further developing such a stackable transport and / or storage container made of plastic in such a way that permanent use is made available and in particular damage to the label holder is excluded or almost impossible.
- the invention proposes according to the invention in a generic stackable transport and / or storage container made of plastic that the label holder has only two lateral clamping webs, which releasably fix a label held therein exclusively on its narrow sides.
- the invention therefore only uses two lateral clamping webs that define the label holder. These two lateral clamping webs each releasably fix the narrow sides of the label held therein.
- the invention is based on a predominantly rectangular label, the two long sides of which are consequently free of the clamping webs according to the invention. Because these only attack the narrow sides of the label.
- An additional lower limiting web as in the prior art is expressly missing, so that such a web naturally cannot shear off or be damaged in any other way.
- all side walls are each equipped with a label holder.
- the stackable transport and / or storage container made of plastic according to the invention can be used universally. This is because the label holder on each side wall enables comprehensive and optional identification of the goods received in the transport and / or storage container in question, regardless of its orientation.
- Both the two transverse side walls and the two longitudinal side walls are each equipped with an associated label holder.
- the respective label holder is usually arranged centrally in relation to the associated side wall.
- the respective label holder has been placed below one Recess, for example a passage opening, has proven to be particularly favorable.
- This recess or passage opening is located both on the transverse side walls and on the longitudinal side walls, usually in the middle and near the upper edge of the relevant side wall.
- the label holder according to the invention is arranged below or to the side thereof.
- the design is usually made such that the lateral clamping webs on the transverse side walls in the transport position of the transport and / or storage container in question run in the longitudinal direction of the container. In this way, the lateral clamping webs on the transverse side walls, in particular in the transport position, are not torn off or otherwise damaged.
- the lateral clamping webs on the longitudinal side walls are oriented transversely in comparison to the longitudinal direction of the container.
- the lateral clamping webs are sunk on the respective longitudinal side wall in the transport position, and consequently experience a protected placement. This is because, in the transport position parallel to the floor, the two longitudinal side walls usually lie directly on the floor, whereas the two transverse side walls come to rest on the longitudinal side walls in the transport position.
- the lateral clamping webs on the transverse side walls run in the longitudinal direction of the container and accordingly have no edges and webs projecting in the transverse direction which can shear off.
- the clamping webs oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction of the container are located in the protected and recessed position on the longitudinal side walls Transport position, so that damage and shearing are avoided in this area per se.
- the two lateral clamping webs taken together, define a receiving slot that tapers in the insertion direction of the label.
- the clamping webs ultimately form an optimized insertion slope for the label contained therein. Due to the clamping action realized with the help of the lateral clamping webs, the label is on the one hand perfectly received and held in the label holder and on the other hand an exchange of the relevant label is particularly simple and intuitive possible by pulling the label in question out of the insertion direction of the label holder according to the invention.
- the respective clamping web is generally L-shaped in cross section or as an L-leg with a fastening leg connected to the associated side wall and a holding leg engaging behind or overlapping the label.
- the two legs advantageously adjoin each other at an obtuse angle.
- an inclination of the fastening leg connected to the associated side wall is observed, which prevents any damage.
- the above components of other transport and / or storage containers as well as holding or fixing elements during manipulation cause the incline to overrun and overflow.
- the design is usually made such that the fastening leg has a decreasing length or width in the direction of insertion of the label in the direction of the associated side wall.
- the fastening leg is also advantageously U-shaped in cross section.
- the holding leg that engages behind the label is connected over a large area to the U-shaped fastening leg and in this way damage and shearing can be effectively prevented.
- the design is also such that an edge in the area of the base of the L-shaped clamping web forms an acute angle with an outer surface of the side wall.
- this acute angle specifies the angle of the implemented insertion bevel in the insertion direction of the label. In fact, angles are observed that are in the range of up to a maximum of 5 °.
- the stackable transport and / or storage container made of plastic according to the invention is equipped with a rotary lock of the respective side walls.
- the individual procedure is such that the two longitudinal side walls are equipped with an actuating member for an associated rotary latch.
- the rotary bolt may have end bolts or locking cams which interact with associated counter-bolt members on the corresponding transverse side walls, as was already mentioned and referred to in the introduction EP 2 256 049 B1 the applicant is described in detail.
- other interlocks are also conceivable and are included in the invention.
- a slide lock corresponding to the one already mentioned in the introduction WO 00/68099 A1 is conceivable.
- a recess is also provided on the respective transverse side wall for a centering pin engaging therein.
- the centering pin is located on the bottom of a further transport and / or storage container placed in the transport position on the relevant transport and / or storage container.
- the centering pin and the associated recess ensure that, in addition to other centering and counter-centering means, the transport and / or storage container in the transport position can be simply stacked on top of one another and stacked in a slip-resistant manner.
- a stackable transport and / or storage container made of plastic is shown. This has a bottom 1 and hinged to the bottom 1 side walls 2, 3.
- the side walls 2, 3 are transverse side walls 2 and longitudinal side walls 3.
- the side walls 2, 3 can be transferred into a parallel transport position, as shown in the Fig. 2 is shown.
- the side walls 2, 3 one in the Fig. 1 assume the reproduced erected storage position.
- the design in the exemplary embodiment is such that the two longitudinal side walls 3 connect to one another with their upper edges without a gap.
- the transverse side walls 2 are then folded down onto the longitudinal side walls 3 deposited on the floor 1 and placed thereon.
- the label holder 4 has only two lateral clamping webs 4 and expressly dispenses with a lower limiting web.
- the two lateral clamping webs 4 of the label holder 4 are designed such that they releasably fix a rectangular label 5 held therein exclusively on its narrow sides.
- the label 5 received in the label holder 4 is only indicated and may be designed as a cardboard label, plastic label, etc.
- the label 5 can in principle also be designed as an electronic display area, for example to identify plastic items inside the stackable transport and / or storage container.
- all side walls 2, 3 are each equipped with a label holder 4.
- the lateral clamping webs 4 on the transverse side walls 2 are in the transport position according to FIG Fig. 2 arranged in the longitudinal direction L of the container.
- the clamping webs 4 on the long side walls 3 have an orientation largely transversely to the longitudinal direction of the container L.
- the label holder 4 on the long side walls 3 in the in Fig. 2 Transport position shown are sunk, can damage the Label holder 4 practically does not occur in the transport position.
- the respective label holders 4 are predominantly arranged centrally in relation to the associated side wall 2, 3.
- an arrangement of the relevant label holder 4 below a respective recess 6 has proven to be particularly favorable.
- the recess 6 is a passage opening 6 through which, for example, a person can pass and move the transport and / or storage container in question.
- the recesses or through openings 6 in the longitudinal side walls 3 are equipped with an associated actuating element 7 for a rotary latch 8 which is only indicated and runs along an upper edge of the relevant longitudinal side wall 3.
- the rotary latch 8 has a locking cam (not shown in more detail on the end), which interacts with an associated counter-locking element on the transverse side wall 2 in order to move the side walls 2, 3 in the direction shown in FIG Fig. 1 shown upright storage position to lock each other.
- the design of the counter-locking element in the form of an elastic locking lug, which is engaged by the locking cam in the locking position, may be chosen to be comparable to that in FIG EP 2 256 049 B1 the applicant is described in detail. Of course, any other interlocks in this area are also conceivable, as they were presented in detail in the introduction to the description.
- the two lateral clamping webs 4 taken together define a receiving slot tapering in the insertion direction E of the label 5.
- the respective clamping web 4 is designed as an L-shaped cross section or as an L-leg with a fastening leg 4a connected to the associated side wall 2, 3 and a holding leg 4b engaging behind the label 5.
- the two legs 4a, 4b adjoin each other at an obtuse angle.
- the two legs 4a, 4b define an edge 9 overall in the region of a base of the fastening leg 4 which is L-shaped in cross section.
- the edge 9 in the region of the base of the clamping web which is L-shaped in cross section closes with an outer surface of the side wall 2, 3 acute angle ⁇ , as in the side view after the Fig. 5 is shown.

- the holding leg 4b engaging behind the label 5 is connected at the end to the U-shaped fastening leg 4a and is thereby securely held.
- the relevant fastening leg 4a in the insertion direction E of the label 5 is equipped with a decreasing length or width B in the direction of the associated side wall 2, 3, as can be seen in the perspective view according to FIG Fig. 5 or recognizes from a side view of the mounting leg 4a. This will make the previous one Defined insertion slope for the label 5 or the receiving slot tapering in the insertion direction of the label 5.
- the respective clamping web 4 also overlaps an opening 10 in the associated side wall 2, 3, as can be seen again in the perspective view according to FIG Fig. 3 and 4 recognizes.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that the stackable transport and / or storage container made of plastic can be equipped with the opening 10 in this area without any problems because the label 5 is detachably and properly held in the receiving slot, which tapers in the insertion direction becomes.
- the storage position shown finally becomes clear that the respective transverse side wall 2 is equipped with a recess 11.
- the recess 11 is located between the two clamping webs 4 and the edge of the label 5.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen stapelbaren Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter aus Kunststoff, mit gelenkig an einen Boden angeschlossenen Seitenwänden, die sich in eine bodenparallele Transportstellung und in eine aufgerichtete Lagerstellung überführen lassen, wobei wenigstens eine Seitenwand an ihrer Außenseite mit zumindest einem Etikettenhalter ausgerüstet ist.The invention relates to a stackable transport and / or storage container made of plastic, with side walls articulated to a floor, which can be converted into a transport position parallel to the floor and into an upright storage position, at least one side wall on its outside being equipped with at least one label holder.
Stapelbare Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter aus Kunststoff sind in vielfältiger Ausgestaltung bekannt. Dadurch, dass der fragliche Behälter sowohl eine bodenparallele Transportstellung als auch eine aufgerichtete Lagerstellung annehmen kann, eignen sich derartige Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter insbesondere für die Kreislaufwirtschaft. Das heißt, nach Befüllen mit beispielsweise Obst und Gemüse kann der fragliche Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter beispielsweise nach dem Abverkauf in die Transportstellung überführt, gereinigt und erneut befüllt werden.Stackable transport and / or storage containers made of plastic are known in various designs. Because the container in question can assume both a transport position parallel to the floor and an upright storage position, such transport and / or storage containers are particularly suitable for the circular economy. This means that after filling with fruit and vegetables, for example, the transport and / or storage container in question can be transferred to the transport position, cleaned and refilled, for example after the sale.
Die erforderliche Verriegelung der Seitenwände untereinander in der aufgerichteten Lagerstellung kann dabei unter Rückgriff auf eine Drehverriegelung erfolgen, wie sie in der
Aufgrund des zuvor beschriebenen Einsatzzweckes und um den betreffenden Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter bzw. die darin bevorrateten Waren zu kennzeichnen, ist wenigstens eine Seitenwand an ihrer Außenseite mit zumindest einem Etikettenhalter ausgerüstet, wie dies beispielhaft in der
Insbesondere der untere Begrenzungssteg verläuft dabei praktisch quer zur Längserstreckung des fraglichen Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälters. Das ist insbesondere dann problematisch, wenn der fragliche Behälter seine bodenparallele Transportstellung einnimmt und mehrere Transport- und Lagerbehälter auf- und übereinander gestapelt werden sollen. Denn bei diesen Stapelvorgängen oder auch bei der vorgeschalteten Reinigung werden die Behälter bzw. Transportboxen überwiegend in ihrer Längsrichtung bewegt, so dass in der Praxis der untere Begrenzungssteg des Etikettenhalters oftmals abreißt oder zumindest beschädigt wird. Hinzu kommt, dass die Reinigung solcher stapelbarer Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter aus Kunststoff typischerweise mit warmer oder auch heißer Reinigungsflüssigkeit erfolgt, so dass etwaige Abbiegungen oder Schwachstellen im Kunststoff bei diesem Vorgang besonders angegriffen werden. Hier will die Erfindung insgesamt Abhilfe schaffen.In particular, the lower boundary web runs practically transverse to the longitudinal extent of the transport and / or storage container in question. This is particularly problematic if the container in question assumes its transport position parallel to the floor and several transport and storage containers are to be stacked on and above one another. Because during these stacking processes or during the upstream cleaning, the containers or transport boxes are mainly moved in their longitudinal direction, so that in practice the lower boundary web of the label holder is often torn off or at least damaged. In addition, such stackable transport and / or storage containers made of plastic are typically cleaned with warm or hot cleaning liquid, so that any bends or weak points in the plastic are particularly attacked during this process. The invention as a whole aims to remedy this.
Der Erfindung liegt das technische Problem zugrunde, einen derartigen stapelbaren Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter aus Kunststoff so weiterzuentwickeln, dass ein dauerhafter Gebrauch zur Verfügung gestellt wird und insbesondere Beschädigungen des Etikettenhalters ausgeschlossen oder nahezu ausgeschlossen sind.The invention is based on the technical problem of further developing such a stackable transport and / or storage container made of plastic in such a way that permanent use is made available and in particular damage to the label holder is excluded or almost impossible.
Zur Lösung dieser technischen Problemstellung schlägt die Erfindung bei einem gattungsgemäßen stapelbaren Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter aus Kunststoff erfindungsgemäß vor, dass der Etikettenhalter lediglich zwei seitliche Klemmstege aufweist, welche ein darin gehaltenes Etikett ausschließlich an seinen Schmalseiten lösbar fixieren.To solve this technical problem, the invention proposes according to the invention in a generic stackable transport and / or storage container made of plastic that the label holder has only two lateral clamping webs, which releasably fix a label held therein exclusively on its narrow sides.
Die Erfindung greift also lediglich auf zwei seitliche Klemmstege zurück, die den Etikettenhalter definieren. Diese beiden seitlichen Klemmstege fixieren jeweils lösbar die Schmalseiten des darin gehaltenen Etiketts. Hierbei geht die Erfindung von einem überwiegend rechteckförmigen Etikett aus, dessen beide Längsseiten folglich erfindungsgemäß von den Klemmstegen frei sind. Denn diese greifen lediglich an den Schmalseiten des Etiketts an. Ein zusätzlicher unterer Begrenzungssteg wie beim Stand der Technik fehlt ausdrücklich, so dass ein solcher Steg naturgemäß auch nicht abscheren kann oder sonst wie beschädigt wird.The invention therefore only uses two lateral clamping webs that define the label holder. These two lateral clamping webs each releasably fix the narrow sides of the label held therein. The invention is based on a predominantly rectangular label, the two long sides of which are consequently free of the clamping webs according to the invention. Because these only attack the narrow sides of the label. An additional lower limiting web as in the prior art is expressly missing, so that such a web naturally cannot shear off or be damaged in any other way.
Nach vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung sind sämtliche Seitenwände mit jeweils einem Etikettenhalter ausgerüstet. Dadurch lässt sich der erfindungsgemäße stapelbare Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter aus Kunststoff universell einsetzen. Denn der Etikettenhalter an jeder Seitenwand ermöglicht eine umfassende und wahlweise Kennzeichnung der beispielsweise im fraglichen Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter aufgenommenen Waren, und zwar ungeachtet seiner Ausrichtung. Dabei sind sowohl die beiden Querseitenwände als auch die beiden Längsseitenwände jeweils mit einem zugehörigen Etikettenhalter ausgerüstet. Außerdem ist der jeweilige Etikettenhalter meistens mittig in Bezug auf die zugehörige Seitenwand angeordnet. Darüber hinaus hat sich eine Platzierung des jeweiligen Etikettenhalters unterhalb einer Ausnehmung, beispielsweise einer Durchgriffsöffnung, als besonders günstig erwiesen.According to an advantageous embodiment, all side walls are each equipped with a label holder. As a result, the stackable transport and / or storage container made of plastic according to the invention can be used universally. This is because the label holder on each side wall enables comprehensive and optional identification of the goods received in the transport and / or storage container in question, regardless of its orientation. Both the two transverse side walls and the two longitudinal side walls are each equipped with an associated label holder. In addition, the respective label holder is usually arranged centrally in relation to the associated side wall. In addition, the respective label holder has been placed below one Recess, for example a passage opening, has proven to be particularly favorable.
Diese Ausnehmung bzw. Durchgriffsöffnung befindet sich sowohl an den Querseitenwänden als auch an den Längsseitenwänden, und zwar üblicherweise mittig und nahe des oberen Randes der betreffenden Seitenwand. Darunter oder seitlich hiervon ist der erfindungsgemäße Etikettenhalter angeordnet. Außerdem ist die Auslegung meistens so getroffen, dass die seitlichen Klemmstege an den Querseitenwänden in der Transportstellung des betreffenden Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälters in Behälterlängsrichtung verlaufen. Auf diese Weise werden die seitlichen Klemmstege an den Querseitenwänden insbesondere in der Transportstellung nicht abgerissen oder sonst wie beschädigt.This recess or passage opening is located both on the transverse side walls and on the longitudinal side walls, usually in the middle and near the upper edge of the relevant side wall. The label holder according to the invention is arranged below or to the side thereof. In addition, the design is usually made such that the lateral clamping webs on the transverse side walls in the transport position of the transport and / or storage container in question run in the longitudinal direction of the container. In this way, the lateral clamping webs on the transverse side walls, in particular in the transport position, are not torn off or otherwise damaged.
Die seitlichen Klemmstege an den Längsseitenwänden sind zwar demgegenüber quer im Vergleich zur Behälterlängsrichtung orientiert. Allerdings sind die seitlichen Klemmstege an der jeweiligen Längsseitenwand in der Transportstellung versenkt angeordnet, erfahren folglich eine geschützte Platzierung. Das liegt daran, dass in der bodenparallelen Transportstellung die beiden Längsseitenwände üblicherweise unmittelbar auf dem Boden aufliegen, wohingegen die beiden Querseitenwände in der Transportstellung zur Auflage auf den Längsseitenwänden kommen.In contrast, the lateral clamping webs on the longitudinal side walls are oriented transversely in comparison to the longitudinal direction of the container. However, the lateral clamping webs are sunk on the respective longitudinal side wall in the transport position, and consequently experience a protected placement. This is because, in the transport position parallel to the floor, the two longitudinal side walls usually lie directly on the floor, whereas the two transverse side walls come to rest on the longitudinal side walls in the transport position.
Auf diese Weise wird in der Transportstellung einerseits erreicht, dass die seitlichen Klemmstege an den Querseitenwänden in der Behälterlängsrichtung verlaufen und dementsprechend keine in Querrichtung vorstehenden Kanten und Stege aufweisen, die abscheren können. Andererseits befinden sich die quer zur Behälterlängsrichtung orientierten Klemmstege an den Längsseitenwänden in geschützter und versenkter Position in der Transportstellung, so dass in diesem Bereich per se Beschädigungen und Abscherungen vermieden werden.In this way, in the transport position, it is achieved on the one hand that the lateral clamping webs on the transverse side walls run in the longitudinal direction of the container and accordingly have no edges and webs projecting in the transverse direction which can shear off. On the other hand, the clamping webs oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction of the container are located in the protected and recessed position on the longitudinal side walls Transport position, so that damage and shearing are avoided in this area per se.
Nach weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung definieren die beiden seitlichen Klemmstege zusammengenommen einen sich in Einsteckrichtung des Etikettes verjüngenden Aufnahmeschlitz. Das heißt, die Klemmstege bilden im Endeffekt eine optimierte Einführschräge für das darin aufgenommene Etikett. Durch die realisierte Klemmwirkung mithilfe der seitlichen Klemmstege wird das Etikett einerseits einwandfrei in dem Etikettenhalter aufgenommen und festgehalten und ist andererseits ein Austausch des betreffenden Etikettes besonders einfach und intuitiv möglich, indem das fragliche Etikett entgegen der Einsteckrichtung aus dem erfindungsgemäßen Etikettenhalter herausgezogen wird.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the two lateral clamping webs, taken together, define a receiving slot that tapers in the insertion direction of the label. This means that the clamping webs ultimately form an optimized insertion slope for the label contained therein. Due to the clamping action realized with the help of the lateral clamping webs, the label is on the one hand perfectly received and held in the label holder and on the other hand an exchange of the relevant label is particularly simple and intuitive possible by pulling the label in question out of the insertion direction of the label holder according to the invention.
Zu diesem Zweck ist der jeweilige Klemmsteg im allgemeinem im Querschnitt L-förmig bzw. als L-Schenkel mit an die zugehörige Seitenwand angeschlossenem Befestigungsschenkel und das Etikett hintergreifendem oder übergreifendem Halteschenkel ausgebildet. Die beiden Schenkel schließen dabei vorteilhaft stumpfwinklig aneinander an. Dabei wird insbesondere eine Schrägstellung des an die zugehörige Seitenwand angeschlossenen Befestigungsschenkels beobachtet, welche etwaige Beschädigungen verhindert. Außerdem findet ein An- und Überlaufen an der betreffenden Schräge seitens vorstehender Bestandteile anderer Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter sowie von Halte- oder Fixierelementen bei der Manipulation statt.For this purpose, the respective clamping web is generally L-shaped in cross section or as an L-leg with a fastening leg connected to the associated side wall and a holding leg engaging behind or overlapping the label. The two legs advantageously adjoin each other at an obtuse angle. In particular, an inclination of the fastening leg connected to the associated side wall is observed, which prevents any damage. In addition, the above components of other transport and / or storage containers as well as holding or fixing elements during manipulation cause the incline to overrun and overflow.
Darüber hinaus ist die Auslegung meistens so getroffen, dass der Befestigungsschenkel in Einsteckrichtung des Etiketts in Richtung auf die zugehörige Seitenwand eine abnehmende Länge bzw. Breite aufweist. Dadurch wird die zuvor bereits beschriebene Klemmwirkung der seitlichen Klemmstege im Detail zur Verfügung gestellt. Außerdem stellt sich hierdurch der in Einsteckrichtung des Etikettes verjüngende Aufnahmeschlitz von selbst ein.In addition, the design is usually made such that the fastening leg has a decreasing length or width in the direction of insertion of the label in the direction of the associated side wall. As a result, the previously described clamping effect of the lateral clamping webs provided in detail. In addition, this results in the receiving slot tapering in the direction of insertion of the label by itself.
Um eine besonders stabile Auslegung und Anbringung des Befestigungsschenkels an der zugehörigen Seitenwand zu ermöglichen, ist der Befestigungsschenkel darüber hinaus und vorteilhaft im Querschnitt U-förmig ausgebildet. Dadurch wird der das Etikett hintergreifende Halteschenkel großflächig mit dem U-förmigen Befestigungsschenkel verbunden und lassen sich auf diese Weise Beschädigungen und ein Abscheren wirksam verhindern. Außerdem ist die Auslegung darüber hinaus so getroffen, dass eine Kante im Bereich der Basis des L-förmigen Klemmsteges mit einer Außenoberfläche der Seitenwand einen spitzen Winkel einschließt. Dieser spitze Winkel gibt letztlich den Winkel der realisierten Einführschräge in der Einsteckrichtung des Etikettes vor. Tatsächlich werden hier Winkel beobachtet, die im Bereich von bis zu maximal 5° angesiedelt sind.In order to enable a particularly stable design and attachment of the fastening leg on the associated side wall, the fastening leg is also advantageously U-shaped in cross section. As a result, the holding leg that engages behind the label is connected over a large area to the U-shaped fastening leg and in this way damage and shearing can be effectively prevented. In addition, the design is also such that an edge in the area of the base of the L-shaped clamping web forms an acute angle with an outer surface of the side wall. Ultimately, this acute angle specifies the angle of the implemented insertion bevel in the insertion direction of the label. In fact, angles are observed that are in the range of up to a maximum of 5 °.
Darüber hinaus hat es sich bewährt, wenn die beiden Kanten der den Etikettenhalter definierenden Klemmstege in Aufsicht entgegen der Einsteckrichtung aufeinander zulaufen. Dadurch wird insgesamt die Stabilität des Klemmsteges nochmals gesteigert.In addition, it has proven useful if the two edges of the clamping webs defining the label holder run towards one another in the opposite direction of insertion. This increases the overall stability of the clamping web.
Um insgesamt das Gewicht des erfindungsgemäßen stapelbaren Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälters aus Kunststoff möglichst gering zu halten, sind verschiedenen Ausnehmungen und Durchbrechungen vorgesehen und realisiert. Außerdem ist die Auslegung meistens so getroffen, dass der jeweilige Klemmsteg eine Öffnung in der zugehörigen Seitenwand übergreift. Hierbei geht die Erfindung von der Erkenntnis aus, dass eine Öffnung im Bereich des Klemmsteges weder dessen Stabilität beeinträchtigt noch für die Halterung des Etikettes im Etikettenhalter benötigt wird, so dass eine an dieser Stelle realisierte Öffnung vorteilhaft zur Gewichtsreduzierung platziert werden kann.In order to keep the weight of the stackable transport and / or storage container made of plastic according to the invention as low as possible, various recesses and openings are provided and implemented. In addition, the design is usually made so that the respective clamping web engages over an opening in the associated side wall. Here, the invention is based on the knowledge that an opening in the region of the clamping web neither impairs its stability nor does it hold the Labels are required in the label holder, so that an opening made at this point can advantageously be placed to reduce weight.
Nach vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist der erfindungsgemäße stapelbare Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter aus Kunststoff mit einer Drehverriegelung der jeweiligen Seitenwände ausgerüstet. Zu diesem Zweck wird im Einzelnen so vorgegangen, dass die beiden Längsseitenwände mit einem Betätigungsglied für einen zugehörigen Drehriegel ausgerüstet sind. Der Drehriegel mag zu diesem Zweck über jeweils endseitige Riegel bzw. Verschlussnocken verfügen, die mit zugehörigen Gegenriegelorganen an den korrespondierenden Querseitenwänden wechselwirken, wie dies in der einleitend bereits genannten und in Bezug genommenen
Um die Stapelbarkeit der einzelnen Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter aus Kunststoff insbesondere in der Transportstellung zu gewährleisten und zu unterstützen, ist darüber hinaus an der jeweiligen Querseitenwand eine Ausnehmung für einen darin eingreifenden Zentrierzapfen vorgesehen. Der Zentrierzapfen befindet sich dabei an einem Boden eines auf den betreffenden Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter jeweils in Transportstellung abgelegten weiteren Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälters. Jedenfalls sorgen der Zentrierzapfen und die zugehörige Ausnehmung dafür, dass gegebenenfalls ergänzend zu weiteren Zentrier- und Gegenzentriermitteln, die jeweils in Transportstellung befindlichen Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälters erfindungsgemäß einfach aufeinander abgelegt und rutschsicher hierdurch gestapelt werden können.In order to ensure and support the stackability of the individual transport and / or storage containers made of plastic, in particular in the transport position, a recess is also provided on the respective transverse side wall for a centering pin engaging therein. The centering pin is located on the bottom of a further transport and / or storage container placed in the transport position on the relevant transport and / or storage container. In any case, the centering pin and the associated recess ensure that, in addition to other centering and counter-centering means, the transport and / or storage container in the transport position can be simply stacked on top of one another and stacked in a slip-resistant manner.
Im Ergebnis wird ein stapelbarer Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter aus Kunststoff beschrieben, der mit einem optimierten Etikettenhalter ausgerüstet ist. Dieser kommt mit lediglich zwei seitlichen Klemmstegen aus und verzichtet ausdrücklich auf einen unteren Begrenzungssteg. Dadurch sind Beschädigungen des Etikettenhalters im Unterschied zum Stand der Technik nahezu ausgeschlossen bzw. können auf ein absolutes Minimum reduziert werden. Das ist vor dem Hintergrund von enormer Bedeutung, als die fraglichen Transport- und/oder Lagerbehälter bei Mehrwegsystemen und im Kreislauf geführt werden. Hierin sind die wesentlichen Vorteile zu sehen.As a result, a stackable transport and / or storage container made of plastic is described, which is equipped with an optimized label holder. This comes with only two lateral clamping bars and expressly dispenses with a lower limiting bar. As a result, damage to the label holder, in contrast to the prior art, is almost impossible or can be reduced to an absolute minimum. This is of enormous importance against the background when the transport and / or storage containers in question are routed in reusable systems and in circulation. This is where the main advantages can be seen.
