Definitions

  • the present patent application for industrial invention relates to a stackable crate comprising an oscillating lateral element.
  • a first type of crates provides for crates that can be stacked one on top of the other in such a way that the bottom of a crate is disposed on the upper edge of another crate in a stable position, without interfering with the products contained in the crate below.
  • Such a type of crates is impaired by the fact that, when the crates are empty, they cannot be stacked one inside the other in minimum volume configuration.
  • a second type of crates provides for crates with tapered shape that can be inserted one inside the other in minimum volume configuration. Such a type of crates is impaired by the fact that they cannot be disposed one on top of the other when they are full because the bottom of a crate would be disposed on the contents of the crate below, thus compressing and damaging the products contained in the crate.
  • a third type of crates provides for tapered crates with different longitudinal and transverse axis, provided with male elements (ribs) and female elements (grooves).
  • the male and female elements are disposed asymmetrically on two opposite sides of the crate.
  • the tapered shape makes it possible to introduce a crate inside another crate in minimum volume configuration.
  • two crates are disposed in opposite direction (i.e. a crate is rotated by 180° relative to the other crate)
  • the crates can be stacked one on top of the other because the ribs of the upper crate are inserted in the grooves of the lower crate.
  • This type of crates is impaired by the fact that the user needs to rotate and dispose the crate according to the position of the lower crate. Such an operation is rather uncomfortable, especially when the user has to lift a heavy, cumbersome crate and cannot easily see in which direction the lower crate is disposed.
  • JPS51111427 discloses a stackable container wherein a main body of the container is configured in such a way to be inserted in the main body of another container.
  • the stackable container comprises an engagement element that can be lowered or raised. When the engagement element is raised, the engagement element protrudes from the main body, in such a way that the container can be supported on the edge of another container. When the engagement element is lowered, the engagement element does not protrude from the main body and the container can be inserted in another container.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art by disclosing a stackable crate that is suitably configured to be firmly disposed on top of an identical stackable crate, without the need for disposing the crate in a specific direction, as well as capable of being inserted in the compartment of an identical stackable crate in minimum volume configuration.
  • Another purpose is to disclose such a crate that is practical, versatile and simple to use for the user.
  • Another purpose is to disclose such a crate that is reliable, inexpensive and easy to produce.
  • the stackable crate of the invention comprises a bottom wall, at least one lateral wall provided with such an inclination that the crate has a tapered shape with increasing dimensions going from the bottom wall upwards; the at least one lateral wall comprises an upper edge.
  • the stackable crate also comprises a compartment defined by said at least one lateral wall and by the bottom wall, an upper opening that gives access to the compartment and is defined by the upper edge of said at least one lateral wall.
  • the peculiarity of the stackable crate according to the invention consists in the fact that it comprises at least one oscillating lateral element and hinging means between the oscillating lateral element and one of said walls.
  • Said hinging means are configured in such a way that said oscillating lateral element can be in a first position, wherein said oscillating lateral element is closed and the crate can be inserted in the compartment of a lower crate, and in a second position, wherein said oscillating lateral element is open in order to rest on the upper edge of at least one lateral wall of the lower crate, in such a way to stack the crate on the lower crate.
  • a stackable crate according to the invention is disclosed, which is generally indicated with reference numeral 1.
  • Fig. 3 shows the crate (1) placed on top of a lower crate (1') that is identical to the crate (1).
  • the crate (1) comprises four lateral walls (11, 12, 13, 14), a bottom wall (10), and a compartment (15) defined by the lateral walls (11, 12, 13, 14) and by the bottom wall (10).
  • the crate has a longitudinal axis (X) and a transverse axis (Y) and comprises a first and a second longitudinal wall (11, 12) and a first and a second transverse wall (13, 14).
  • the lateral walls (11, 12, 13, 14) comprise an upper edge (17a, 17b, 17c, 17d).
  • the crate (1) comprises an upper opening (16) that gives access to the compartment (15) defined by the upper edges (17a, 17b, 17c, 17d) of the lateral walls (11, 12, 13, 14).
  • the lateral walls (11, 12, 13, 14) are suitably inclined in such a way to form a tapered crate with increasing dimensions going from the bottom wall (10) upwards.
  • the crate (1) can be disposed inside the lower crate (1') in minimum volume configuration, as shown in Fig. 4A .
  • the first and the second transverse wall (13, 14) of the crate comprise an oscillating lateral element (2).
  • the upper edges (17c, 17d) of the first and the second transverse wall (13, 14) comprise a groove (171c, 171d).
  • the oscillating lateral element (2) is hinged to the transverse wall (13, 14) by the hinging means (M).
  • the hinging means (M) comprise:
  • the hinging means (M) are configured in such a way that the oscillating lateral element (2) can be:
  • a notch (3) is provided in the first and in the second transverse wall (13, 14) with the oscillating lateral element (2), said notch (3) being suitable to house the oscillating lateral element (2) and allowing the first and the second transverse wall (13, 14) to maintain a tapered profile when the oscillating lateral element (2) is in the first retracted position.
  • the hinging seats of the hinging means (M) are disposed in the notch (3).
  • Said hinging seats consist in hooks (311) that are aligned along a same axis in parallel position relative to the transverse axis (Y) of the crate. The hooks are equally spaced.
  • the hooks (311) have a fastening mouth directed towards the exterior of the crate (1).
  • the oscillating lateral element (2) comprises a tab (22).
  • the tab (22) comprises a free end (24) suitable for being inserted in the groove (171c, 171d) of the upper edge (17c, 17d) of the first and of the second transverse wall (13, 14) of a lower crate (1') when the oscillating lateral element (2) is in the second extracted position.
  • the tab (22) comprises a second end (23) that is connected to the cylindrical portion (21) of the hinging means.
  • the hinging seats are suitable for receiving the cylindrical portion (21) connected to the oscillating lateral element (2).
  • the cylindrical portion (21) acts as a typical hinging pin when said cylindrical portion (21) is housed inside the hinging seats.
  • the insertion of the cylindrical portion (21) in the hinging seat is obtained by forcedly inserting the cylindrical portion (21) in the mouth of said hooks (311), which are elastically flexible in order to receive and house the cylindrical portion (21) with elastic snap-in.
  • the oscillating lateral element (2) comprises moving means connected to the tab (22) in order to guide the movement of the tab (22).
  • the moving means slide inside guide means provided on the transverse walls (13, 14).
  • the moving means comprise two tongues (41).
  • the guide means comprise two holes (41a) provided on the transverse walls (13, 14). Each tongue (41) is slidingly inserted in the hole (41a).
  • the tongue (41) is curvilinear with concavity towards the cylindrical portion (21) of the hinging means (M).
  • the tongue (41) comprises a stop tooth (42) that acts as end stop in order to stop the travel of the oscillating lateral element (2) from the first position to the second position.
  • the tongue (41) comprises a beveled tooth (43) that locks the tongue when the oscillating lateral element (2) is in the second extracted position.
  • the beveling of the beveled tooth (43) facilitates the insertion and the extraction of the tongue (41) in the hole (41a).
  • the hinging seats consist in L-shaped hooks (311) with a fastening mouth that is directed laterally towards the exterior of the crate (1).
  • Figs. 5 to 11A show a different embodiment of the crate (1) according to the invention, which differs from the one of Figs. 1 to 4 in the configuration of the hinging seats, of the moving means and of the guide means, which permit the correct movement of the oscillating lateral element (2) between the first position and the second position.
  • the hinging seats consist in U-shaped hooks (311), with the fastening mouth that is directed downwards towards the exterior of the crate (1).
  • the moving means of the oscillating lateral element comprise two hollow hooks (141).
  • Each hollow hook (141) comprises two adjacent sections (141a) with substantially parallel direction, which are connected by means of an intermediate transverse section (141b) that is shaped like a "V" with concavity directed towards the oscillating lateral element (2).
  • the hook (141) has a slight upward curvature, meaning that it generally comprises a concavity directed towards the cylindrical portion (21) of the hinging means (M).
  • the two adjacent sections (141a) of the hook are provided with an end connected to the tab (22).
  • the intermediate section (141b) of the hook is externally provided with a pair of stop projections (141c) disposed in the point where said intermediate section (141 b) is joined with the adjacent sections (141a) of the hollow hook (141).
  • Said hollow hook (141) is slidingly inserted inside a seat provided on the transverse walls (13, 14).
  • Said seat comprises two lateral surfaces (512), an upper surface (511) and a lower opening (513) that extends between the two lateral surfaces (512).
  • said seat comprises a central wedge (520) that protrudes from the bottom of said upper surface (511) and, together with the two lateral surfaces (512), determines two cavities wherein the two adjacent sections (141a) of the hollow hook (141) slide.
  • said oscillating lateral element (2) is mounted on the crate (1) by pushing the oscillating lateral element (2) from the bottom upwards inside the notch (3) that will house the oscillating lateral element (2) when the crate (1) is assembled.
  • the hollow hook (141) is inserted in its seat from the bottom upwards, i.e. in a direction that goes from the bottom wall (10) of the crate (1) towards the upper opening (16) that gives access to the compartment (15). Therefore, the two adjacent sections (141a) of the hollow hook (141) are inserted inside said two cavities from the bottom upwards.
  • the oscillating lateral element (2) is firmly hinged to the crate (1)
  • the two adjacent sections (141a) of the hollow hook (141) can exclusively slide along a substantially orthogonal direction relative to the transverse wall (13, 14) where the seat is provided.
  • Said hollow hook (141) can slide between an extracted position, wherein the intermediate section (141b) of the hollow hook (141) is stopped against the central wedge (520), hindering the extraction of the hollow hook (141) in axial direction relative to the seat wherein it is slidingly housed, and an retracted position wherein the hollow hook (141) is completely inserted in the seat and the oscillating lateral element (2) is flush with the lateral wall (11, 12, 13, 14) whereto it is hinged.
  • the lateral surfaces (512) of the seat are directed in orthogonal direction relative to the lateral wall (11, 12, 13, 14) of the crate (1) where they are disposed.
  • the lateral surfaces (512) of the seat extend towards the center of the crate (1) and comprise a first section, wherein they are parallel, and a second section, wherein they are divergent. Between the two sections of each lateral surface (512), the lateral surface (512) comprises a stop portion against which one of the two stop projections (141c) of the hollow hook (141) is stopped.
  • each stop projection (141c) is stopped against the second section of the lateral surface (512) of the seat.
  • the hollow hook (141) has a larger width than the distance between the parallel sections of the two lateral surfaces (512) of the seat. The hollow hook (141) is held in said inserted position and cannot move freely towards the extracted position.
  • a force must be applied on the hollow hook (141) in order to move and elastically deform the hollow hook (141), decreasing its width, especially with reference to the width in correspondence of the stop projections (141c).
  • the operator must grab the oscillating lateral element (2), which is momentarily disposed in its first position, and pull the oscillating lateral element (2) outwards with such a force that the stop projections (141c) of the hollow hook (141) slide along the lateral surfaces (512) of the seat, passing from the second divergent section to the first section wherein said lateral surfaces (512) are parallel.
  • the extraction travel of the hollow hook (141) is ended as soon as the intermediate section (141 b) of the hollow hook (141) is stopped against the central wedge (520).
  • the oscillating lateral element is provided with a handle that consists in a lower cavity (222) provided on a lower side of the oscillating lateral element (2).
  • the crate (1) can be grabbed in correspondence of the bottom wall (10) also when the crate is disposed on a surface, without requiring the operator to lift the crate (1) and insert his or her fingers under the bottom wall (10) of the crate (1).
  • An additional advantage offered by said handles refers to the possibility of easily moving the two oscillating lateral elements (2) from a position wherein they are closed to a position wherein they are open.
  • the operator can easily diverge the oscillating lateral elements (2) without having to change the position of his or her hands while holding the crate (1).
  • the operator simply needs to slightly diverge his or her hands to open the two oscillating lateral elements (2), overcoming the elastic resistance offered by the hollow hooks (141).
  • the advantages of the stackable crate (1) of the invention are evident.
  • the presence of the oscillating lateral element (2) and of the groove (171c, 171d) allows to dispose the crate (1) firmly on the lower crate (1') when the oscillating lateral element (2) is open.
  • the crate (1) can maintain a tapered profile in order to be inserted in the compartment (15) of the lower crate (1') when the oscillating lateral element (2) is closed, in minimum volume configuration.
  • said stackable crate (1) can overcome the limitations of the stackable crates of the prior art, optimizing the available space both when the crates are used and when the crates are not used.
  • said crate (1) and the oscillating lateral element (2) are made of plastic material.
  • said bottom wall (10) can be square with four identical lateral walls, or circular or elliptical with only one lateral wall.
  • each oscillating lateral element (2) disposed in correspondence of the transverse walls (13, 14) is shown in the appended figures, two oscillating lateral elements (2) in the longitudinal walls (11, 12) or four oscillating lateral elements in each lateral wall (11, 12, 13, 14) can be provided, wherein each oscillating lateral element (2) is hinged to a lateral wall (11, 12, 13, 14) of the crate by means of the hinging means (M).
