Definitions

  • the invention relates to a storage device, with at least one storage container, which has a container housing with an at least substantially rectangular base, which has a height direction extending between an underside and an upper side, a direction running between a front side and a rear side, to the height direction has a right-angled longitudinal direction and a transverse direction perpendicular to both the height direction and the longitudinal direction, the container housing having a housing lower part which delimits a storage space and has a bottom wall and one which projects from the edge of the bottom wall in the height direction, from a front wall, one in this respect in the Longitudinally spaced rear wall and two in the transverse direction spaced side walls existing peripheral wall, wherein an upper end portion of the peripheral wall frames an access opening for the storage space, and wherein the container Housing also has a housing cover pivotably mounted in the rear area on the lower part of the housing about a pivot axis extending in the transverse direction, which, by pivoting relative to the lower part of the housing, either in a closed position to close the handle
  • a storage device known from EP 2 485 874 B1 of this type comprises a storage container, the container housing of which consists of a box-shaped lower housing part and a housing cover pivotally mounted thereon in the region of the rear.
  • the housing cover can be in one
  • Closed position are pivoted in which it rests on an obe ren end portion of a peripheral wall of the lower housing part and closes an access opening for an internal storage space of the container housing.
  • the housing cover can be swiveled continuously into a large number of open positions, in which it is pivoted more or less upwards and releases the access opening.
  • the housing cover and the lower housing part overlap slightly in the vertical direction of the container housing in order to stiffen the housing structure. If the storage container is opened while it is parked on an uneven surface, there may be twists due to the receiving shafts provided in the lower part for receiving information carrier cards, which can impair the subsequent closing process of the housing cover.
  • the object of the invention is to take measures to minimize torsion-related problems in the actuation of the housing cover in a storage container of a storage device.
  • the housing cover on the underside of each of its two side cover edge sections has a downwardly projecting beyond the lower edge surface and extending in the longitudinal direction of the housing housing centering bar, which when closing the pivoting of an open position Ge housing cover on the inner side facing the storage space next to the adjacent side wall past its upper edge surface with respect to the side wall from the rear side to the front overlapping from above into the lower housing part, the housing cover through the centering bars which can be supported or supported on the adjacent side wall in the transverse direction, can be guided into a closed position centered with respect to the lower housing part.
  • the centering strips When the housing cover is closed, the centering strips preferably dip through the access opening and into the storage space.
  • the immersion process takes place gradually, with an increasing height overlap between the centering strips and the respectively assigned side wall of the lower housing part, increasing from the back to the front of the container housing. Since a possible twisting of the lower part of the housing in the area of the swivel axis due to the directly hinged housing cover does not have any noticeable effect on the relative position between the housing cover and the lower part of the housing, the centering strips dip at the beginning of the closing process, if they are not already in that due to a small opening angle Lower housing part are immersed in the housing part unhindered.
  • the centering strips which increasingly dip into the housing lower part at the front, can exert a transverse force on the torsion-wise possibly sloping side walls of the lower housing part, so that an exact parallel alignment takes place, which ultimately leads to the housing cover in one respect of the lower part of the housing zen trated relative position in the closed position.
  • the centering strips can be immersed in the lower housing part without exerting any relevant transverse force on the side walls of the lower housing part.
  • the centering strips are preferably arranged such that in the closed state of the housing cover there is a minimal transverse distance between the side walls of the lower housing part and the centering strips, so that the centering function really only occurs when there is a certain twist.
  • the design can also be made so that the centering strips generally rest on the inner surfaces of the side walls of the lower housing part.
  • the centering strips can help to stiffen the overall structure of the container housing and to prevent twisting when the container housing is closed is placed on an uneven surface or if the storage space is asymmetrically equipped with one or more heavy objects.
  • the two centering strips are expediently bevelled and / or rounded on their rear side facing the rear of the container housing in such a way that their rear end edge has a downward and at the same time forward direction towards the front of the container housing. Among other things, this makes it possible to bring the centering bar relatively close to the rear of the container.
  • Each centering strip is preferably of such a length that, when viewed in the closed position of the housing cover, it has a rear end edge arranged adjacent to the rear wall of the lower housing part and a front end edge arranged adjacent to the front wall of the housing part.
  • the length of each centering strip preferably corresponds essentially to the length of the storage space measured between the front wall and the rear wall.
  • Height direction of the container housing Measured height of each centering strip to the front of the container housing gradually decreased. This is such that the height overhang of each centering strip with respect to the lower edge surface located on the same side cover edge section of the housing cover decreases towards the front of the container housing. This takes into account, among other things, the fact that the shear forces to be exerted on the side walls for centering are no longer particularly high in the front area of the container housing, because the relevant centering was already carried out when the housing cover was closed by the rear longitudinal section of the centering strips .
  • each centering strip on its lower longitudinal side facing the lower housing part has an insertion section tapering downwards in the direction of the lower housing part, which is chamfered on the outside facing the adjacent side wall.

  • Each centering bar preferably has a flat shape. For example, it is strip-shaped or lamellar.
  • the measured in the transverse direction of the container housing ne thickness of the centering bar is less than its height measured in the height direction of the container housing, which in turn is less than the length of the centering bar measured in the longitudinal direction of the container housing.
  • the centering bar is aligned in such a way that its main plane of expansion least runs substantially at right angles to the transverse direction of the container housing.
  • the centering strips are shaped so that they are at least in an open position of the housing cover pivoted upward with respect to the lower housing part by 45 degrees completely outside of the lower housing part.
  • the centering strips are designed such that they dip into the lower housing part at least in the entire swivel range between the closed position and an open position of the housing cover pivoted upwards by 30 degrees. The earlier the centering bars are inserted into the lower part of the housing when the housing cover is closed, the more effective the desired centering function is.
  • the centering strips with the outer surface of their section which is facing the respective adjacent side wall of the lower housing part can slide against the inner surface of the adjacent side wall of the lower housing part facing the storage space.
  • This system can basically be present in that the container housing is designed in such a way that the sliding contact also occurs in the undeformed or unwound neutral state of the container housing.
  • the design is such that in the undeformed neutral state of the container housing there is a slight distance between the centering bar and the adjacent side wall and a sliding contact between these components only occurs when the lower part of the housing at least is slightly twisted.

  • the result is a particularly precisely centered closed position of the housing cover, the centering strips being relieved of transverse forces in the closed position of the housing cover.
