Definitions

  • the invention relates to a folding box with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a cuboid folding box which has a removal opening on a ceiling panel, which is closed by a lid on the ceiling panel. To open, the lid is separated from the ceiling plate at a perforation so that a receiving space for the folding box is accessible.
  • the folding box On a front wall, the folding box has a holding opening into which fingers or the palm of the hand can be gripped. The folding box can be held with one hand, so that a user's second hand remains free to remove the contents of the box through the removal opening from the receiving space of the folding box.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the handling of the known folding box.
  • a folding box in the sense of this invention is a box that can be delivered from the manufacturer to a processing company in a space-saving folded state in order to be unfolded there into a box with simple steps or by machine, whereby additional gluing on folds or the like can be provided. It consists in particular of cardboard or corrugated cardboard and is particularly cuboid when unfolded.
  • the folding box according to the invention comprises a front wall, at least two side walls, a base plate, a ceiling plate and a rear wall, which together enclose a receiving space in the unfolded state.
  • Individual parts such as dowels or screws, can be stored and transported enclosed in the recording room. “Enclosed” respectively “Enclose” here means that the individual parts are enclosed by the walls and panels mentioned in such a way that they cannot get out of the receiving space independently, but rather that a user has to remove an individual part from the receiving space.
  • the folding box according to the invention can therefore comprise holes or openings through which the receiving space is accessible, but through which the individual parts cannot independently get out.
  • the front wall When the folding box is used as planned, the front wall essentially faces the user, whereas the rear wall forms the side facing away from the user and the two side walls form the sides of the folding box.
  • the top plate essentially points upwards or forms the upper side of the folding box, while the base plate forms the opposite lower side. In particular, all sides are perpendicular to each other, so they form a cuboid. Therefore, the distance between the base and ceiling panels is referred to below as the height of the folding box, while the width of the front and rear walls is the distance between the two side walls.
  • the width of the side walls is the distance between the front and rear walls and the height of the walls is the distance between the floor and ceiling panels.
  • a removal opening is provided in the ceiling panel, which can be closed with a lid.
  • the cover can be a separate part from the ceiling panel.
  • the lid is a part of the ceiling panel, which is connected to the ceiling panel in a transport position, for example by a perforation and optionally a folding edge as a folding hinge, so that the lid can be completely separated when used by a user to remove the individual parts or after the perforation has been separated opened and an individual part can be removed.
  • the folding edge is formed in particular on the side of the lid facing away from the front wall, in particular on the edge that forms the transition from the ceiling panel to the rear wall, so that the opened lid does not hinder the removal of an individual part.
  • At least one holding opening is provided on a front wall for engagement with several fingers and / or the palm of a first hand of the user, so that the user can use the folding box for transport or delivery by engaging in the holding opening with the fingers and / or the palm of his first hand removal of individual parts.
  • At least one engagement opening assigned to the holding opening is provided on the top plate of the folding box for engagement with the thumb of the hand when holding the box.
  • the thumb of the hand is engaged in the engagement opening, with the fingers and/or palm of the hand also engaging in the holding opening to hold the folding box.
  • the user can hold the box with his first hand by engaging his fingers and/or the palm of the first hand in the holding opening and with the thumb of the first hand in the engagement opening, so that with the Second-hand items can be removed from the recording room.
  • the fingers, or the palm of the hand take up the weight of the folding box and its contents, while the thumb prevents the folding box from tipping over.
  • the first hand can, for example, be a user's left hand, so that the second hand is his right hand, with which he removes the individual parts from the recording space.
  • the folding box according to the invention preferably has at least two engagement openings on the ceiling panel and/or at least two holding openings on the front wall. This makes the folding box equally suitable for left- and right-handed people. If there are two engagement openings, they are in particular at an identical distance from the front wall. If there are two holding openings, they are at an identical distance from the ceiling plate.
  • At least one holding opening is an elongated hole.
  • an elongated hole is a hole whose first dimension is larger than its extent perpendicular to this first dimension. This means that an elongated hole can be rectangular, but not square.
  • An ellipse is also an elongated hole in the sense of this invention.
  • the elongated hole has two narrow sides closed by semicircles, which are connected by two parallel straight edges.
  • At least one engagement opening has a rounded cross section. This means that the opening in this case is not square and therefore free of corners that could interfere with the thumb and cut into the thumb.
  • the cross section of the at least one engagement opening is circular.
  • the engagement opening and/or the holding opening can each be closed by an opening cover which is removed or bent over for holding purposes.
  • this opening cover can also be connected in one piece to the remaining front wall or ceiling panel before being held by a perforation and/or a folding edge.
  • the at least one engagement opening is spaced from the removal opening. If several engagement openings are present, at least one of the engagement openings is spaced from the removal opening, in particular all engagement openings are spaced from the removal opening.
  • a type of web is formed between the front wall and the removal opening, on which the engagement opening is formed, or, if there are several engagement openings, these are formed.
  • the web gives the ceiling panel sufficient stability even when the removal opening is open and when the folding box is held by the user with one hand, as provided according to the invention, so that the user can absorb and compensate for a tilting moment with his thumb.
  • a shortest distance from a side wall to an engagement opening is greater than a shortest distance from this side wall to a holding opening.
  • the holding opening is arranged closer to the side wall than the engagement opening.
  • a shortest distance from a side wall to the center of an engagement opening is unequal to the shortest distance of this side wall to the center of a holding opening.
  • Center point here means the respective center of gravity.
  • a shortest distance from the side wall to the center of the engagement opening is preferably greater than the distance of this side wall to the center of the holding opening.
  • an embodiment of the folding box according to the invention which has exactly two holding openings which are arranged on the front.
  • this folding box has exactly two access openings, those on the ceiling plate are arranged.
  • One of the engagement openings is assigned to one of the holding openings, which means that the same hand can be used to hold the folding box at the same time in the holding opening and in the associated engagement opening.
  • this embodiment of the folding box according to the invention has no further holding opening and/or no further engagement opening on the side walls or the rear wall.
  • the two holding openings are mirror-symmetrical to an imaginary mirror plane which lies centrally between the side walls and/or are the two engagement openings mirror-symmetrical to this imaginary mirror plane. This makes it easier to grip with either of the two hands, so that, for example, a left-handed person can grip the folding box differently than a right-handed person, with an ergonomic grip being guaranteed in each case.
  • the width of the front wall is smaller than a width of the side wall.
  • the folding box tends to tilt about an axis that is parallel to the line connecting the front wall to the ceiling panel and not about an axis that is parallel to a line connecting the front wall and a side wall. This allows the user to hold the folding box securely with one hand, since this tilting can be easily prevented with the fingers arranged in the holding opening and/or the palm of the hand and the thumb of this hand arranged in the engagement opening.
  • the folding box according to the invention is characterized by the special arrangement of holding and engagement opening(s). It can be manufactured and used cost-effectively in a known manner, but offers the user ergonomic advantages that greatly simplify work, especially on a construction site, for example on scaffolding.
  • FIG. 1 a first, cuboid folding box 1 is shown in the unfolded state.
  • the folding box 1 comprises a two-part front wall 2, a first side wall 3 and a second side wall 4, a base plate 5, which forms the lower side of the folding box 1, a ceiling plate 6, which forms the upper side of the folding box 1, and a rear wall 7
  • the front wall 2 faces the user and forms the front side of the folding box 1, while the rear wall 7 forms the rear side.
  • the front and rear walls 2, 7, the side walls 3, 4 and the base and ceiling plates 5, 6 together enclose a receiving space for individual parts, such as dowels.
  • the ceiling plate 6 has a removal opening 8, which is closed by a cover 9.
  • the cover 9 is formed by a perforation 10 in the ceiling panel 6 and can be separated from it at the perforation 10, with a folding edge 11, which is formed at the transition from the ceiling panel 6 to the rear wall 7, not being perforated.
  • the perforation 10 surrounding the lid 9 is severed by the user by pulling on the lid 9 and folded upwards, with the folding edge 11 acting as a hinge. Due to the arrangement of the folding edge 11 on the side of the lid 9 facing away from the front wall 2, the removal of the individual parts from the receiving space is not hindered by the lid 9 when the lid 9 is opened.
  • a first engagement opening 15 is formed on the ceiling plate 6, centrally between the side walls 3, 4 and at a greater distance from the cover 9 than from the front wall 2, which is assigned to the two holding openings 12, 13.
  • "Assigned" here means that a user, depending on whether he is left- or right-handed, uses the fingers and / or the palm of the first of his two hands to hold the folding box 1 into the first or the second of the two holding openings 12, 13 can intervene and at the same time engages with the thumb of this hand in the first engagement opening 15 in order to prevent the folding box 1 from tipping when being held. While the user engages with his first hand in one of the two holding openings 12, 13 and the first engagement opening 15 and thus holds the folding box 1 securely, he can use his second hand to remove individual parts from the receiving space through the removal opening 8 with the lid open.
  • first engagement opening 15 is formed by a circular hole punched out in the ceiling plate 6, the two holding openings 12, 13 are each closed by an opening cover 14 before the folding box 1 is held.
  • Each of the opening covers 14 is formed in the front wall 2, analogous to the cover 9 in the ceiling panel 6, by a perforation 10 and a folding edge 11, so that a user can press or pivot one of the opening covers 14 inwards into the receiving space when he/she is using his Insert your hand into the first holding opening 12 or the second holding opening 13.
  • the first engagement opening 15 is spaced from the removal opening 8. Between the removal opening 8 and the front wall 2, a web 17 is formed, in which the first engagement opening 15 is arranged. In this case, the first engagement opening 15 is punched out of the ceiling plate 6 or the web 17.
  • the first engagement opening 15, based on the width B 1 of the front wall 2, is arranged centrally on the ceiling panel 6, so that it is cut symmetrically by an imaginary mirror plane E, which runs parallel to and centrally between the side walls 3, 4 , to which the two holding openings 12, 13 are mirror-symmetrical.
  • the holding openings 12, 13 and the first engagement opening 15 are arranged such that a shortest distance a 2 from one of the side walls 3, 4 to the first engagement opening 15 is greater than a shortest distance a 3 from the side walls 3, 4 to one of the holding openings 12 , 13.
  • a shortest distance a 4 from a side wall 3, 4 to the center of the first engagement opening 15 is greater than the distance a 5 of this side wall 3, 4 to the center of the two holding openings 12, 13.
  • FIG 2 As a second exemplary embodiment, another folding box 1 according to the invention is shown in the unfolded state. In order to avoid repetition, the following will only focus on the differences to folding box 1 Figure 1 received.
  • the same reference numbers are used for corresponding parts.
  • the folding box 1 shown has an aspect ratio in which, unlike the folding box 1, the Figure 1 , the width B 1 of the front wall 2, which is in one piece here, is smaller than the width B 2 of the side walls 3, 4.
  • the cover 9 is also enlarged parallel to the side walls 3, 4, as a result of which the removal opening 8 has also been enlarged in this direction, with the web 17 remaining unchanged in size.
  • first engagement opening 15 is assigned to the first holding opening 12 and the second engagement opening 16 to the second holding opening 13, such that a user inserts his fingers and/or the palm of his first, right hand into the first Holding opening 12 and at the same time with the thumb of the right hand can engage in the first engagement opening 15 in order to hold the folding box 1.
  • the user can use his second, left hand to open the lid 9 at the perforation 10, fold it around the folding edge 11 and remove individual parts from the receiving space through the removal opening 8.
  • the user can use his second, left hand to engage in the second holding opening 13 and the second engagement opening 16 for holding the folding box 1 and remove the individual parts with his first, right hand.
  • Whether the user holds the folding box 1 with his left or right hand depends in particular on whether he is right-handed or left-handed. Due to the design of the folding box 1 according to the invention, both are possible.
  • the Figure 3 shows a blank 18 of a third folding box 1 according to the invention, whose width B 1 of the front wall 2 corresponds to the width B 2 of the side walls 3, 4 and which has a square floor plan.
