Description

The present invention relates to a container according to the features of the preamble of claim 1 and an arrangement with at least two such containers that can be stacked on top of each other.

Containers such as industrial baskets have wide applications for food, tools and other goods to be stored, stored and/or transported. Containers such as trays, boxes, racks, baskets and/or stretchers are used for this purpose. Especially in commercial and industrial sectors, these containers are often stackable to ensure space-saving logistics.

The AT 17373 U1 shows an arrangement of at least two baskets that can be stacked on top of each other, with only a single stacking position being possible due to a coding body of a first basket and a coding body receptacle of a second basket. The coding body can preferably be attached non-destructively to the top of the side wall of the first container and can be detached from it again non-destructively.

The DE 91 05 963 U1 shows a stackable crate that is equipped with a ramp-shaped slope to prevent the stacked crate from slipping. This Slanting should enable improved handling even under heavy use and wear.

The object of the present invention is to provide a container that can be coded in as many different ways as possible.

With regard to the present invention, the object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

In a container according to the preamble of claim 1, it is therefore provided according to the invention that the coding body receptacle of the container is also attached or can be attached to one of the side walls of the container by means of a non-destructively detachable connecting device.

The invention therefore makes it possible to equip the containers with many different types of coding bodies and coding body receptacles. As a result, the containers can be coded in very different ways and a wide variety of groups of containers can be made available in a very simple and flexible manner, with the containers of each group being coded in a special way by means of the respective coding bodies and coding body receptacles. This can be used so that only the containers that belong to this group can be stacked on one another in the desired manner and containers from different groups cannot be stacked on one another in the desired manner.

A further advantage of the invention is that, if necessary, the coding can also be changed in a simple manner for existing containers by simply other coding bodies and coding body receptacles are attached to the container or the coding bodies and coding body receptacles previously used for this container are attached to the container in a different arrangement.

The advantages of a container according to the invention are therefore, in addition to increased flexibility, increased and easier conversion, the possibility of being able to use a coding body and/or a coding body receptacle only when necessary, and simple interchangeability in the event of breakage, damage, wear or tear of the coding body and/or the coding body holder.

The bottom of the container is usually stretched between the side walls of the container. Together with the side walls, it delimits an interior space of the container. If the floor also extends under the side walls in special embodiments, these partial areas of the floor directly under the side walls are viewed as partial areas of the respective side wall.

A non-destructively detachable connecting device is understood to mean a means with which two components can be connected to one another, whereby the component composite remains intact indefinitely without external influences and can be separated again with a certain external influence without damaging the connecting device. Such a non-destructively detachable connecting device can be non-positive and/or positive connections. A concrete example is a screw connection of two components by screwing a component with an external thread into another component with a corresponding internal thread. As below As will be explained later, there are of course a large number of non-destructively detachable connecting devices.

In other words, a component with a part of a non-destructively detachable connecting device can be referred to as a separate and/or replaceable part. In this sense, in the present invention this means that the at least one coding body is attached or can be attached as a separate and/or replaceable component to one of the side walls of the container and has a projection. In this sense, this also means that the coding body receptacle is also fastened or can be fastened as a separate and/or replaceable component on one of the side walls of the container.

In the invention, both the at least one coding body and the at least one coding body receptacle are fastened or can be fastened to one of the side walls of the container by means of a non-destructively detachable connecting device.

In this way, the desired combination of coding body and coding body receptacle can be used flexibly. For example, for the same container, the coding body used can simply be replaced with a new coding body and, in the same way, the coding body receptacle used can be replaced with a new coding body receptacle that corresponds to the new coding body.

This increased flexibility enables, for example, identical container base bodies to be equipped with different coding bodies and corresponding coding body receptacles. In this way, different types of products can be stored separately from each other without the containers with the different types of products and the different coding bodies and the corresponding coding body receptacles being stacked or mixed on top of each other.

A container base body is understood to mean a container without a coding body and without a coding body receptacle. In other words, a container base body is a body with a bottom and side walls. The container base body can be made in one piece or composed of several individual parts.

There are almost no limits to the size and shape of the coding bodies used and the corresponding coding body receptacles.

The projection of the coding body used can, for example, have a round profile and/or an angular profile. The projection can therefore be circular, oval and/or triangular, square, cross-shaped, etc. In the following exemplary embodiments, the projection of the coding body always has a cross profile. However, it should be noted at this point that this embodiment merely represents an example and is not to be understood as limiting in any way.

The coding body receptacle used to accommodate the projection of the coding body can, for example, have a round profile and/or an angular profile. In other words, a recess in the coding body receptacle for receiving the coding body can be circular, oval and/or triangular, square, cross-shaped, etc. In the following exemplary embodiments, the coding body receptacle always has a circular recess, in which a sufficiently large diameter is provided to accommodate the projection of the coding body. However, it should be noted at this point that this embodiment also merely represents an example and is not to be understood as limiting in any way.

The size and shape of the coding body, in particular the profile of the projection of the coding body, and the coding body receptacle, in particular the recess of the coding body receptacle, can fit flush with one another in a preferred exemplary embodiment, for example by an isosceles triangular profile of the projection of the coding body fitting exactly into an isosceles triangular recess the coding body holder fits.

The size and shape of the coding body, in particular the profile of the projection of the coding body, and the coding body receptacle, in particular the recess of the coding body receptacle, can in a preferred exemplary embodiment only match one another in such a way that the coding body can be inserted sufficiently far into the coding body receptacle, both but have different profiles and/or shapes. For example, the projection of the coding body can have a cross profile and the coding body receptacle can have a circular recess. This preferred exemplary embodiment is shown in the figures described below. In such a case, another coding body with, for example, a round profile could be inserted sufficiently far into the coding body receptacle, as long as the diameter of the circular profile is smaller than or equal to the circular recess in the coding body receptacle.

The container according to the invention is preferably a basket. However, containers according to the invention can also be designed as trays, boxes, racks and/or stretchers.

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

According to a preferred embodiment of the container, it can be provided that the non-destructively releasable connecting device with which the at least one coding body of the container is attached or can be attached to one of the side walls of the container is a first connecting device and the non-destructively releasable connecting device with which the at least a coding body receptacle of the container is attached or attachable to one of the side walls of the container, is a second connecting device.

This means that it can be provided that a separate, non-destructively detachable connecting device is provided for the coding body and for the coding body receptacle.

In such a case, it can be provided, for example, that two separate parts of the two separate, non-destructively detachable connecting devices are arranged in the container base body. In such an exemplary embodiment, the respective corresponding parts of the two separate, non-destructively detachable connecting devices can be arranged on the coding body and the coding body receptacle.

In such a case it can be provided that the two separate, non-destructive detachable Differentiate connecting devices for the coding body and for the coding body receptacle. For example, it can be provided that the non-destructively releasable connecting device for the coding body is a screw connection and the non-destructively releasable connecting device for the coding body receptacle is a snap connection.

According to a preferred embodiment of the container, it can be provided that the container has at least one coding body lock for blocking the insertion of the coding body of the other container, the coding body lock being attached or attachable to one of the side walls of the container by means of a non-destructively detachable connecting device.

According to a preferred embodiment of the container, it can be provided that at least one of the non-destructively detachable connecting devices is a screw-in connection, preferably a screw connection, or a plug-in connection, preferably a snap connection, or a sliding connection.

A screw-in connection is understood to mean a connection between two components in which the component composite is created, at least among other things, by a screw-in movement. Examples of a screw-in connection are screw connections or bayonet locks.

A plug-in connection is understood to mean a connection between two components in which the component composite is created only or at least essentially by plugging them into one another. Examples of a plug connection are snap connections or press connections.

According to a preferred embodiment of the container, it can be provided that the side walls each have an underside in the area of the bottom of the container and an upper side opposite the underside, with the at least one coding body of the container and/or the at least one coding body receptacle of the container and/or or the at least one coding body lock of the container is fastened or can be fastened by means of the respective non-destructively releasable connecting device on or on the underside and/or on or on the top of the respective side wall of the container.

The bottom and top of a container are understood to mean opposite sides of a container, with a side on which the goods to be stored and/or transported rest being understood as a top side. The top of the bottom of a container, together with the insides of the side walls of the container, delimit the hollow volume of the container. Those sides of the sidewalls that are oriented in substantially the same direction as the top of the bottom also represent tops. The bottom of the bottom of the container is the side opposite the top of the bottom of the container and the bottoms of the sidewalls of the container are those of the Top of the side walls of the container opposite sides.

According to a preferred embodiment of the container, it can be provided that at least one of the non-destructively detachable connecting devices can be operated manually and/or without tools.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the at least one coding body of the container and/or the at least one coding body receptacle of the container and/or the at least one coding body lock of the container can be fastened and released by hand. In such a case, it can be provided, for example, that a user can screw and/or insert and/or push in the at least one coding body and/or the at least one coding body receptacle and/or the at least one coding body lock into the container base body by hand and can unscrew and/or pull out and/or push out again.

Fig. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a container 1 according to the invention, shown as a perspective exploded drawing. Fig. 2 shows a top view of the container 1 of the first exemplary embodiment.

The container 1 comprises a base 2 and four side walls 3. The base 2 and the side walls 3 form the container base body 8. The container 1 also includes a coding body 4, a coding body receptacle 7 and three coding body locks 14. In the perspective exploded view of the container 1 according to Fig. 1 Only the one coding body 4, the one coding body receptacle 7 and two of the three coding body locks 14 can be seen. The third coding body lock 14 is located below the base 2 and cannot be seen in this illustration.

The coding body 4, the coding body receptacle 7 and the three coding body locks 14 can be fastened to the side walls 3 of the container 1 by non-destructively detachable connecting devices 10, see exploded view Fig. 1 . In Fig. 2 they are shown attached to the container base body 8 by means of the non-destructively detachable connecting devices 10.

Both on the respective top side 19 of the side walls 3 and on the respective bottom side 18 of the side walls 3 of the container 1, in the corner regions of the container 1, there are four parts of the non-destructively detachable connecting devices 10 for connecting to the coding body 4, the coding body receptacle 7 and/or or the coding body locks 14. The other parts, in other words the counterparts of the non-destructively detachable connecting devices 10, are located on or on the Coding body 4, the coding body receptacle 7 and the three coding body locks 14.

In this exemplary embodiment, the four non-destructively detachable connecting devices 10 are in use on the underside 18 of the container 1. On the top 19 of the side walls 3 of the container 1, however, only one of the non-destructively detachable connecting devices 10 with the one coding body 4 shown here is in use. The remaining three of the four parts of the non-destructively detachable connecting devices 10 on the top sides 19 of the container base body 8 are not in use. There are, as in Fig.1 to see, neither a coding body 4 nor a coding body receptacle 7 nor a coding body lock 14.

In the first exemplary embodiment, each non-destructively detachable connecting device 10 in use comprises two parts of a screw-in connection, here specifically two matching thread sections. These two matching thread sections each belong to two individual components that can be connected to each other by screwing. These screw connections can be loosened non-destructively by unscrewing them.

In this first exemplary embodiment, the non-destructively detachable connecting devices 10 can preferably be joined together manually and/or without tools by screwing into one another and released again by screwing apart. Specifically, in the first exemplary embodiment, this is solved in such a way that an external thread is provided on a disk-shaped element 20 of the coding body 4, the coding body receptacle 7 and the coding body lock 14 as part of the respective connecting device 10 and on the container base body 8 of the container 1 a total of eight internal threads are formed as corresponding parts of the respective connecting device 10, see Fig. 3 to 7 .

The in Fig. 3 Separately shown coding body 4 has a disk-shaped element 20 with a projection 11 fixed thereon. On the outer edge of the disk-shaped element 20, part of the non-destructively detachable connecting device 10 is designed in the form of an external thread. The cross section of the projection 11 of the coding body 4 is a cross profile in this exemplary embodiment. However, it is also possible for the projection 11 to have a different shape. For example, the cross section of the projection 11 can also be round, square, triangular or have another shape. On the other hand, the cross section and the course of the projection 11 can also vary along its height. For example, it is conceivable that the projection 11 is tapered towards the tip.

The exemplary embodiment shown here with regard to the shape of the projection 11 is not to be understood as restrictive. Many different shapes of the projection 11 are possible. So that another container 6 can be stacked on the container 1 in the desired manner explained below, the shape of the projection 11 of the coding body 4 of the container 1 and in particular its width 22 must correspond to the recess in the coding body receptacle 5 of the other Container 6 must be coordinated so that the projection 11 fits through the recess in the coding body receptacle 5.

Fig. 4 shows an example of the coding body receptacle used in the first exemplary embodiment 7 of the container 1. It also preferably has a disk-shaped element 20, as implemented in this first exemplary embodiment. In this first exemplary embodiment, an external thread is again formed on its outer edge as part of the connecting device 10. In the disk-shaped element 20 there is a recess or through opening through which the projection 11 of the coding body of another container can be inserted. The other container, on which the container 1 can be stacked in the desired manner, and its coding body are not shown here. However, they are advantageously designed in the same way as the container 1 and its coding body 4. The diameter 23 of this recess in the coding body receptacle 7 of the container 1 is designed in its shape and size so that the coding body of the other container fits through when the containers are stacked on top of one another.

Fig. 5 now shows an example of one of the coding body locks 14 of the container 1. Like the coding body receptacle 7, this has a disk-shaped element 20 with a recess and an external thread formed on the edge of the disk-shaped element 20. The external thread is in turn the corresponding part of the non-destructively detachable connecting device 10. In contrast to the coding body receptacle 7 of the container 1, however, the recess of the coding body lock 14 has a shape and a diameter 24, which are selected so that the coding body of the other container does not fit through . The shape and the diameter 24 of the recess of the coding body lock 14 can of course be designed very differently to achieve this goal. For this purpose, the coding body lock 14 could also have no recess at all, i.e. designed as a self-contained element be. If the coding body of the other container hits this coding body lock 14, this prevents the container 1 from being stacked in this position on the other container.

Fig.6 now shows the section along the section line AA Fig.2 through a corner area of the container 1 and the coding body 4 arranged there as well as the coding body receptacle 7 also arranged there. What can be seen are the non-destructively releasable connecting devices 10, which are designed as screw-in connections 15 or here specifically as screw connections, which are here as connecting devices that are separate from one another and also arranged at a distance from one another are designed in the form of the first connecting device 12 and the second connecting device 13. Fig.6 also shows, by way of example, that in preferred embodiments of the invention, through openings 25 are formed in the side walls 3 or here specifically in their corner regions, in the area of which the coding bodies 4 and also the coding body receptacles 7 as well as the coding body locks 14, see Fig. 7 , are fastened or can be fastened by means of the respective connecting device 10 or 12 or 13.

Fig. 7 shows the section along the section line BB Fig. 2 . Make the cuts along the cutting lines CC and DD Fig. 2 look the same as the cut along the cut line BB in Fig. 7 and are therefore not shown again. In Fig. 7 In any case, you can see, as an example, how a coding body lock 14 can be attached to the container 1 or its side walls 3 in the area of the through opening 25 by means of the non-destructively detachable connecting device 10, which is designed as a screw-in connection 15 or here specifically as a screw connection. On to Coding body lock 14 opposite end, the through opening can remain free in this exemplary embodiment, as shown in Fig. 7 can also be recognized.

Fig. 8 shows two containers 1 and 6 according to the first exemplary embodiment in the process of stacking one on top of the other.

In the Fig. 8 Arrangement 21 shown in perspective includes the first container 1 and a second or other container 6, here also designed according to the invention, which is shown in the exploded view for reasons of clarity Fig. 8 still have a small distance from each other.

In this exemplary embodiment, both containers 1 and 6 each comprise a container base body 8, a coding body 4 or 9, a coding body receptacle 5 or 7 and three coding body locks 14.

The container base bodies 8 of both containers 1 and 6 each include a base 2, four side walls 3 and eight parts of the eight non-destructively detachable connecting devices 10, here in the first exemplary embodiment each in the form of corresponding internal threads.

The coding body 4, the coding body receptacle 7 and the three coding body locks 14 are connected to the container base body 8 of the container 1 by the non-destructively detachable connecting devices 10 of the container 1. In the same way, the coding body 9, the coding body receptacle 5 and three further coding body locks 14 are connected to the container base body 8 of the container 6. In this exemplary embodiment, the two containers 1 and 6 can only be stacked on top of each other in a single stacking position. In this one and only In the stacking position, the two containers 1 and 6 are stacked on top of one another in the desired manner and are therefore arranged one above the other and, seen in a top view, in line with one another.

In this context, “stackable on top of one another in the desired manner” means that the at least two containers 1, 6 are stacked congruently on top of one another in a plan view and lie flush on top of one another. This state, stacked on top of one another in the desired manner, is in Fig.9 in a side view and in Fig. 10 shown in the top view already mentioned.

The coding body 4 with its projection 11 attached to the lower container 1 can only be used in this one 9 and 10 shown, stacking position sufficiently far for stacking the containers 1 and 6 can be inserted into the coding body receptacle 5 attached to the upper or other container 6. This is good in Fig. 11 to see which makes a cut along the cutting line EE Fig. 10 through the arrangement 21 shows.

In the Fig. 8 to 11 The stacking of two correspondingly designed containers 1 and 6 to form an arrangement 21 according to the invention is shown as an example. Of course, this is only the smallest number of containers 1 and 6 according to the invention that can be stacked on top of one another to form an arrangement 21 according to the invention. Within the scope of the invention, it is of course also possible to have three, four or more containers 1, 6 designed according to the invention through the use of coding bodies 4, 9 and coding body receptacles 5 which are arranged accordingly on the respective container base body 8 and are designed to match one another. 7 to stack arrangements 21 according to the invention in the desired manner. In particular, the container 1 can optionally be stacked with all the other containers 6 stacked on it, on another container, not shown here, if this other container has a coding body at the corresponding location, which fits into the coding body receptacle 7 of the container 1 and can therefore be included or introduced into it.

Practically any number of containers can be stacked on top of one another in a manner analogous to containers 1, 6.

In the Fig. 12 to 14 is now shown as an example of what happens if an attempt is made to place the containers 1 and 6 in a position other than that according to Fig. 9 to 11 to stack on top of each other. Fig. 12 shows again a side view and Fig. 13 a top view. Fig. 14 shows the section along the section line FF Fig. 13 . In Fig. 14 It is easy to see how, in this attempt to stack one on top of the other, the coding body 4 of the lower container 1 hits a coding body lock 14 of the upper or other container 6, into which it cannot penetrate with its projection 11. This prevents the two containers 1 and 6 from being stacked on top of each other in the desired manner in this other position. The same thing happens if, when attempting to stack one on top of the other, a coding body in one container comes across a coding body receptacle in another container into which it does not fit.

A second and a third exemplary embodiment of the invention will now be explained. It will be at the The following description only addresses the differences to the first exemplary embodiment. Apart from that, what was said about the first exemplary embodiment applies to the exemplary embodiments described below.

Fig. 15 shows the second exemplary embodiment of a container 1 according to the invention, shown as an exploded view. Fig. 16 shows a coding body 4 of the container 1 Fig. 15. Fig. 17 shows a coding body receptacle 7 of the container 1 Fig. 15. Fig. 18 shows a coding body lock 14 of the container 1 Fig. 15 .

Especially in the Fig. 16 to 18 It can be clearly seen from the locking tongues shown there that in this second exemplary embodiment the respective non-destructively detachable connecting devices 10 are designed as plug connections 16, here specifically as locking connections.

The Fig. 19 to 21 show analogous to the Fig. 9 to 11 the stacking of two containers 1 and 6 according to the invention of the second exemplary embodiment to form an arrangement 21 according to the invention in the desired manner. Fig. 21 shows the cut along the cutting line GG Fig. 20 . Can be seen in Fig. 21 again, how the coding body 4 of the container 1 can penetrate with its projection 11 into the coding body receptacle 5 of the other container 6, so that the containers 1 and 6 can be stacked on top of each other in this position. The attempt to stack the containers 1 and 6 on top of each other in a different position would also fail in this second exemplary embodiment in the same way as for the first exemplary embodiment based on the Fig. 12 to 14 is shown and described. This is therefore not shown again here.

Fig. 22 shows the third exemplary embodiment of a container 1 according to the invention, shown as an exploded view. Fig. 23 shows a coding body 4 of the container 1 Fig. 22. Fig. 24 shows a coding body receptacle 7 of the container 1 Fig. 22. Fig. 25 shows a coding body lock 14 of the container 1 Fig. 22 .

In the third embodiment, shown in the Fig. 22 to Fig. 28 , each occupied, i.e. complete, non-destructively detachable connecting device 10 consists of two matching sliding elements. These two matching sliding elements each belong to two individual components that can be connected to one another by sliding them into one another. These sliding connections 17 can be released non-destructively by pulling them apart.

In this third exemplary embodiment, the coding body 4, the coding body receptacle 7 and the coding body lock 14 are each designed as sliding elements in order to be able to produce a sliding connection 17 with the container base body 8.

The Fig. 26 to 28 show analogous to the Fig. 9 to 11 the stacking of two containers 1 and 6 according to the invention of the third exemplary embodiment to form an arrangement 21 according to the invention in the desired manner. Fig. 28 shows the section along the section line HH Fig. 27 . Can be seen in Fig. 28 again, how the coding body 4 of the container 1 can penetrate with its projection 11 into the coding body receptacle 5 of the other container 6, so that the containers 1 and 6 can be stacked on top of each other in this position. Trying to stack containers 1 and 6 in a different position would also fail in this third exemplary embodiment in the same way as for the first exemplary embodiment based on the Fig. 12 to 14 is shown and described. This is therefore not shown again here.
