Description

The invention relates to a container according to the features of the preamble of claim 1 as well as an assembly comprising at least two such containers stackable on one another.

Containers, such as industrial baskets, find a wide range of uses for food, tools and other articles to be stored, stored and/or transported. Containers such as crates, boxes, racks, baskets and/or packs are used for this purpose. Particularly in the industrial and industrial sectors, such containers are often stackable in order to ensure space-saving logistics.

Austrian Utility Model No. 17373 shows an assembly of at least two baskets that can be stacked on top of one another, where only one stacking position is possible due to the position limiting body of the first basket and the position limiting body receiving member of the second basket. In this specification, the position limiting body can be attached non-destructively to the upper surface of the side wall of the first container and can be detached non-destructively from this upper surface again.

German Utility Model No. 9105963 shows a stackable crate which is equipped with ramp-like slopes to prevent the stacked crates from slipping. The slopes allow for improved handling even under heavy loads and wear.

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

According to the invention, this problem is solved by the features of claim 1.

Therefore, in the container described in the preamble of claim 1, the present invention specifies that the position control body receiving member of the container is also attached or attachable to one of the side walls of the container by a non-destructively detachable connecting device.

The invention therefore makes it possible to provide a container with a large number of different configurations of position regulating bodies and position regulating body receiving members. This makes it possible to position the containers in very different configurations and to provide different groups of containers very easily and flexibly. In this case, the positions of the containers in each group are uniquely regulated by the respective position regulating bodies and position regulating body receiving members. This can be used to ensure that only containers belonging to the same group can be stacked on top of each other in the desired configuration, while containers from different groups cannot be stacked on top of each other in the desired configuration.

A further advantage of the invention is that, if necessary, in an existing container, just another position regulating body and a position regulating body receiving member can be attached to the container, or a position regulating body and a position regulating body already used in this container. The positional regulation can be easily changed by attaching the receiving member to the container in a different arrangement.

The advantages of the container according to the invention are therefore, in addition to the increased flexibility, the increased possibility of easier recombination, the use of the position regulator and/or the position regulator receiving member only when necessary. and also the possibility of easy replacement in the event of breakage, damage, wear or wear of the position regulator and/or the position regulator receiving member.

The bottom of the container typically extends between the side walls of the container. The bottom together with the side walls defines the interior of the container. If the bottom also extends below the side walls in a special configuration, this partial area of the bottom immediately below the side wall is considered to be a partial area of the respective side wall.

A non-destructively releasable connecting device means a means by which two components can be connected to one another, with the component complex remaining intact without time limitations without external action, and can be disengaged again by a specific external action without damaging the connecting device. Such a non-destructively releasable connecting device can be a force-locking and/or form-locking connecting device. A specific example is a screwing means for two components by screwing one component having an external thread into the other component having a corresponding internal thread. However, as will be explained further below, there are of course many non-destructively releasable connecting devices.

In other words, a component having a part of the coupling device that can be detached without destruction may be called a separate and/or replaceable component. In this sense, this means that in the present invention, at least one position restricting body is attached or can be attached to one of the side walls of the container as a separate and/or replaceable component and has a protrusion. In this sense, this also means that the position restricting body receiving member is also attached or can be attached to one of the side walls of the container as a separate and/or replaceable component.

According to the invention, both the at least one position regulating body and the at least one position regulating body receiving member are attached or attachable to one of the side walls of the container by means of a non-destructively releasable coupling device. It is.

In this way, the position regulating body and the position regulating body receiving member that are combined in a desired form can be used flexibly. For example, for the same container, the position regulating body that is being used can be easily replaced with a new position regulating body, and similarly, the position regulating body receiving member that is being used can be replaced with a new position regulating body receiving member that corresponds to the new position regulating body.

This improved flexibility makes it possible, for example, to equip a container base of the same structure with different position control bodies and corresponding position control body receiving members. In this way, different products can be stored separately from one another without containers having different products and different position control bodies and corresponding position control body receiving members being stacked or mixed with one another.

The container base refers to the container not including the position regulating body and the position regulating body receiving member. In other words, the container base is a main body including a bottom and a side wall. However, the container base may be assembled from multiple individual parts to form an integral shape.

The present invention imposes virtually no restrictions on the size and shape configuration of the position regulating body and the corresponding position regulating body receiving member used.

The protrusions of the position restricting bodies used may have, for example, a circular and/or angular cross-sectional shape. That is, the protrusions may be circular, elliptical and/or triangular, rectangular, cross-shaped, etc. In the following examples, the protrusions of the position restricting bodies always have a cross shape. However, it should be noted here that this embodiment is merely an example and is in no way limiting.

The position restrictor receiving member used to accommodate the protrusion of the position restrictor may have, for example, a circular and/or angular cross-sectional shape. In other words, the notch of the position restrictor receiving member for accommodating the position restrictor may be circular, elliptical and/or triangular, rectangular, cross-shaped, etc. In the following examples, the position restrictor receiving member always has a circular notch with a diameter large enough to accommodate the protrusion of the position restrictor. However, it should be noted here that this embodiment is also merely an example and is in no way limiting.

In a preferred embodiment, the size and shape of the position control body, particularly the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion of the position control body, and the position control body receiving member, particularly the notch of the position control body receiving member, may be matched and adapted to each other, for example, by the isosceles triangular cross-sectional shape of the protrusion of the position control body fitting precisely into the isosceles triangular notch of the position control body receiving member.

The size and shape of the position restrictor, in particular the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion of the position restrictor, and the position restrictor receiving member, in particular the notch of the position restrictor receiving member, may in a preferred embodiment simply be adapted to each other such that the position restrictor can certainly be fully introduced into the position restrictor receiving member, but that they have different cross-sectional shapes and/or forms. For example, the protrusion of the position restrictor may have a cross-shaped shape, and the position restrictor receiving member may have a circular notch. This preferred embodiment is shown in the figures described below. In such a case, another position restrictor, for example having a circular cross-sectional shape, can also be fully introduced into the position restrictor receiving member, as long as the diameter of the circular cross-sectional shape is equal to or smaller than the diameter of the circular notch of the position restrictor receiving member.

The container according to the invention is preferably a basket. However, the container according to the invention may also be formed as a crate, box, rack and/or pack.

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

According to a preferred embodiment of the container, the non-destructively detachable coupling device that attaches or can attach at least one position control body of the container to one of the side walls of the container may be specified as a first coupling device, and the non-destructively detachable coupling device that attaches or can attach at least one position control body receiving member of the container to one of the side walls of the container may be specified as a second coupling device.

In other words, it may be specified that a separate non-destructively detachable coupling device is provided for each of the position control body and the position control body receiving member.

In such a case, for example, it may be specified that two separate portions of the two non-destructively releasable coupling devices are disposed within the container base. In such an embodiment, the corresponding portions of each of the two separate non-destructively releasable coupling devices may be disposed in a position restrictor and a position restrictor receiving member.

In such cases, the separate non-destructively releasable coupling device for the position regulating body and the separate non-destructively releasable coupling device for the position regulating body receiving member are different from each other. may be specified. For example, it may be specified that the non-destructively releasable coupling device for the position regulator is a threaded coupling means and that the non-destructively releasable coupling device for the position regulator receiving member is a snap coupling means. It's okay.

According to a preferred embodiment of the container, the container has at least one position regulator blocking member for inhibiting the introduction of a position regulator of a further container, the position regulator blocking member being arranged in one of the containers.

According to a preferred embodiment of the container, at least one of the non-destructively releasable fastening devices may be specified as a twist fastening means, preferably a screw fastening means, or a mating fastening means, preferably a snap fastening means, or a press fastening means.

By torsional coupling means is meant a coupling means between two components, in which a component complex is formed at least in particular by a torsional movement. Examples of torsional coupling means are screw means or bayonet closures.

By mating connection means is meant a connection between two components, in which the composite component is formed solely or at least substantially by mating with one another. Examples of mating connection means are snap connections or pressure connections.

According to a preferred embodiment of the container, the side walls each have a lower surface in the region of the bottom of the container and an upper surface opposite to the lower surface, and at least one position control body of the container and/or at least one position control body receiving member of the container and/or at least one position control body blocking member of the container may be specified as being attached or attachable to the lower surface or adjacent to the lower surface and/or to the upper surface or adjacent to the upper surface of each side wall of the container by respective non-destructively detachable coupling devices.

The bottom and top of a container refer to opposing sides of the container. In this case, the top refers to the side on which the items to be stored and/or transported are placed. The top of the container's bottom defines the hollow volume of the container together with the inner surface of the container's sidewall. The sidewall surface that is oriented in substantially the same direction as the top of the bottom also constitutes the top. The bottom of the container's bottom is the side opposite the top of the container's bottom, and the bottom of the container's sidewall is the side opposite the top of the container's sidewall.

According to a preferred embodiment of the container, at least one of the non-destructively releasable coupling devices may be specified to be operable by hand and/or without tools.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, it may be specified that the at least one position limiter of the container and/or the at least one position limiter receiving member of the container and/or the at least one position limiter blocking member of the container can be attached and detached by hand. In such a case, it may be specified, for example, that the user can manually screw and/or insert and/or push the at least one position limiter and/or the at least one position limiter receiving member and/or the at least one position limiter blocking member into the container base and twist and/or pull and/or pull them out again. Tool-free replacement by hand can ensure quick and easy recombination and/or retrofitting.

Figure 1 shows a perspective exploded view of a first embodiment of a container 1 according to the present invention. Figure 2 shows a plan view of the container 1 of the first embodiment.

The container 1 has a bottom 2 and four side walls 3. The bottom 2 and the side walls 3 form a container base 8. The container 1 further has a position regulator 4, a position regulator receiving member 7, and three position regulator blocking members 14. In the perspective exploded view of the container 1 shown in FIG. 1, only one position regulator 4, one position regulator receiving member 7, and two of the three position regulator blocking members 14 can be seen. The third position regulator blocking member 14 is located on the back side of the bottom 2 and cannot be seen in the same view.

The position regulating body 4, the position regulating body receiving member 7 and the three position regulating body blocking members 14 can be attached to the side wall 3 of the container 1 by means of a non-destructively releasable coupling device 10 (see FIG. 1). (see exploded view shown). FIG. 2 shows a state in which the position regulating body 4, the position regulating body receiving member 7, and the three position regulating body blocking members 14 are attached to the container base 8 by a coupling device 10 that can be separated without destruction. It is shown.

At the upper surface 19 of each of the side walls 3 of the container 1 and at the lower surface 18 of each of the side walls 3, in the corner regions of the container 1, there are four parts of a non-destructively detachable coupling device 10 for coupling to the position control body 4, the position control body receiving member 7 and/or the position control body blocking member 14, respectively. Another part of the non-destructively detachable coupling device 10, that is, the corresponding part, is present on or in contact with the position control body 4, the position control body receiving member 7 and the three position control body blocking members 14.

In this embodiment, four non-destructively releasable coupling devices 10 are used on the underside 18 of the container 1. On the other hand, on the upper surface 19 of the side wall 3 of the container 1, only one non-destructively releasable coupling device 10 is used, with one position limiter 4 shown in FIG. The remaining three of the four parts of the non-destructively releasable coupling device 10 on the top surface 19 of the container base 8 are not used. There, as can be seen in FIG. 1, neither the position regulating body 4 nor the position regulating body receiving member 7 nor the position regulating body blocking member 14 are present.

In a first embodiment, each non-destructively releasable coupling device 10 used comprises two parts of a screw-in coupling means, specifically in this embodiment two thread sections that match each other. Both of these thread sections that match each other are respectively contained in two individual components. These two components can be coupled to each other by a screw connection. This screw connection can be non-destructively released by unscrewing them from each other.

In a first embodiment, the non-destructively releasable coupling devices 10 can be joined by screwing together, preferably by hand and/or without tools, and can be uncoupled again by loosening them together. can do. In particular, this means that, in the first embodiment, a portion of the respective coupling device 10 is attached to the disc-shaped element 20 of the position regulating body 4, the position regulating body receiving member 7 and the position regulating body blocking member 14, respectively. The arrangement is such that the container base 8 of the container 1 is provided with a total of eight internal threads as a corresponding part of each coupling device 10 (FIG. 3). ~See Figure 7).

The position regulating body 4 shown separately in FIG. 3 has a disc-shaped element 20 in which the projection 11 is fixed in position. The outer edge of this disc-shaped element 20 is formed with a section in the form of an external thread of the coupling device 10, which can be detached without breaking. The cross section of the protrusion 11 of the position regulating body 4 is cross-shaped in this embodiment. However, it is also possible for the protrusion 11 to have another shape. The cross-section of the protrusion 11 may therefore have, for example, a circular, square, triangular or other shape. On the other hand, the cross section and extension amount of the protrusion 11 may vary along the extension height of the protrusion 11. Thus, for example, it is possible for the protrusion 11 to be tapered towards the tip.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 regarding the shape of the protrusion 11 is not meant to be limiting. Many different shapes of projections 11 are possible. In order to be able to stack another container 6 on the container 1 in the desired configuration, which will be explained in more detail below, the shape of the protrusion 11 of the position regulating body 4 of the container 1 and, in particular, its width 22 must be adjusted. , the protrusion 11 must pass through the notch of the position regulating body receiving member 5 in accordance with the notch provided in the position regulating body receiving member 5 of another container 6 .

Figure 4 shows the position control body receiving member 7 of the container 1 used in the first embodiment. This position control body receiving member 7 also preferably has a disk-shaped element 20, as realized in the first embodiment. The outer edge of this disk-shaped element 20 is formed with an external thread, which in the first embodiment is also part of the coupling device 10. The disk-shaped element 20 has a notch or a through-opening through which the protrusion 11 of the position control body of the further container can be inserted. The further container, which can be stacked with the container 1 in the desired manner, and its position control body are not shown in Figure 4. However, both are advantageously formed similarly to the container 1 and its position control body 4. The diameter 23 of the notch provided in the position control body receiving member 7 of the container 1 is formed in terms of its shape and size so that the position control body of the further container passes through it when the containers are stacked.

5 shows one of the position limiter blocking elements 14 of the container 1. This position limiter blocking element 14 has a disk-shaped element 20, like the position limiter receiving element 7. This disk-shaped element 20 has a notch and an external thread formed on the edge of the disk-shaped element 20. This external thread is also a corresponding part of the non-destructively detachable coupling device 10. However, unlike the position limiter receiving element 7 of the container 1, the notch of the position limiter blocking element 14 has a shape and a diameter 24 selected so that the position limiter of further containers cannot pass through. To this end, the shape and diameter 24 of the notch of the position limiter blocking element 14 can of course be formed in very different ways. For this purpose, the position limiter blocking element 14 does not have to have a notch at all, i.e. it can be formed as a self-closed element. If the position restricting body of another container collides with the position restricting body blocking member 14, in either case, the container 1 is prevented from being stacked on top of another container at this position.

FIG. 6 shows a corner region of the container 1 along the cutting line AA shown in FIG. 2, a position regulating body 4 placed there, and a position regulating body receiving member 7 similarly placed there. A cross-sectional view is shown. A screw connection means 15 or, in FIG. 6, a non-destructively releasable connection device 10, which is specifically designed as a screw connection, can be recognized. This non-destructively releasable coupling device 10 is designed in FIG. 6 as a coupling device in the form of a first coupling device 12 and a second coupling device 13 which are also arranged separate and spaced apart from each other. ing. FIG. 6 also illustrates that in a preferred embodiment of the invention, a through opening 25 is formed in the side wall 3 or, in FIG. 6, specifically in the corner region of the side wall 3. In the area of this through-opening 25, both the position regulating body 4, the position regulating body receiving member 7 and the position regulating body blocking member 14 (see FIG. 7) are attached by respective coupling devices 10; 12; 13. Or it can be installed.

In Fig. 7, a cross section along the section line BB shown in Fig. 2 is shown. The cross sections along the sections CC and DD shown in Fig. 2 are not shown again since they have exactly the same appearance as the cross section along the section line BB shown in Fig. 7. In Fig. 7, it can be seen how, for example, one position limiter blocking member 14 can be attached to the container 1 or its side wall 3 in the region of the through opening 25 by means of a twisting connection means 15 or a non-destructively detachable connection device 10 formed specifically as a screwing means in Fig. 7. At the end opposite the position limiter blocking member 14, the through opening can remain open in this embodiment, as can also be seen in Fig. 7.

Figure 8 shows two containers 1, 6 according to the first embodiment during the process of stacking them on top of each other.

The assembly 21 shown perspectively in FIG. 8 comprises a first container 1 and a second or further container 6, also formed according to the invention in FIG. Both containers 1, 6 still have a small distance from each other in the exploded view of FIG. 8 for reasons of visibility.

In this embodiment, both containers 1 and 6 each include a container base 8, a position control body 4; 9, a position control body receiving member 5; 7, and three position control body blocking members 14.

The container base 8 of both containers 1, 6 each has a bottom 2, four side walls 3 and, in FIG. 8, eight parts of eight destructively detachable connecting devices 10, each in the form of a corresponding internal thread in the first embodiment.

The non-destructively detachable coupling device 10 of the container 1 couples the position control body 4, the position control body receiving member 7 and the three position control body blocking members 14 to the container base 8 of the container 1. Similarly, the position control body 9, the position control body receiving member 5 and the three further position control body blocking members 14 are coupled to the container base 8 of the container 6. The two containers 1, 6 can be stacked on top of each other in this embodiment only in a single stacking position. In this single stacking position, the two containers 1, 6 are stacked on top of each other in the desired configuration and thus are arranged on top of each other in plan view.

In this context, "can be stacked on top of one another in a desired configuration" means that at least two containers 1, 6 are stacked on top of one another in plan view and are aligned with one another. The desired stacked configuration is shown in side view in Figure 9 and in the above-mentioned plan view in Figure 10.

In order to stack the containers 1 and 6 on top of each other, the projection 11 of the position control body 4 attached to the lower container 1 can be fully introduced into the position control body receiving member 5 attached to the upper or other container 6 only in the only stacking position shown in Figures 9 and 10. This can be clearly seen in Figure 11, which shows a cross-sectional view of the assembly 21 along the cutting line EE shown in Figure 10.

8 to 11 show an example in which two correspondingly formed containers 1, 6 are stacked on one another to form the assembly 21 according to the invention. This is, of course, only the minimum number of containers 1, 6 according to the invention that can be stacked on one another to form the assembly 21 according to the invention. Within the scope of the invention, it is of course also possible to stack three, four or more containers 1, 6 correspondingly formed according to the invention on one another in a desired manner by using position limiters 4, 9 and position limiter receiving members 5, 7 that are arranged correspondingly on the respective container bases 8 and are formed to fit each other, to form the assembly 21 according to the invention. In particular, the container 1 may be stacked on a further container (not shown) possibly together with all the further containers 6 stacked on the container 1. However, the further container has, at a corresponding location, a position limiter that can be fitted into the position limiter receiving member 7 of the container 1 and thus accommodated or introduced into the position limiter receiving member 7.

Thus, in practice, any number of containers similar to containers 1, 6 can be stacked on top of each other.

12 to 14 show by way of example what happens if an attempt is made to stack the containers 1, 6 on top of one another in a position different from that shown in Figs. 9 to 11. In this case, Fig. 12 again shows a side view, and Fig. 13 shows a plan view. Fig. 14 shows a section along the section line FF shown in Fig. 13. In Fig. 14 it can be seen well how the position limiter 4 of the lower container 1 hits the position limiter blocking member 14 of the upper or other container 6 when attempting to stack them on top of one another. The projection 11 of the position limiter 4 cannot penetrate into this position limiter blocking member 14. This prevents the two containers 1, 6 from being stacked on top of one another in the desired manner in this other position. The same thing also happens if, when attempting to stack them on top of one another, the position limiter of one container hits the position limiter receiving member of the other container and does not fit into this position limiter receiving member.

The second and third embodiments of the present invention will now be further described. However, in the following description, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described. Otherwise, what was said about the first embodiment applies to the embodiments described below.

Figure 15 shows an exploded view of a second embodiment of the container 1 according to the present invention. Figure 16 shows the position regulating body 4 of the container 1 shown in Figure 15. Figure 17 shows the position regulating body receiving member 7 of the container 1 shown in Figure 15. Figure 18 shows the position regulating body blocking member 14 of the container 1 shown in Figure 15.

As can be seen particularly clearly in the locking tongues shown in Figures 16 to 18, in the second embodiment shown in the figures, each non-destructively detachable connecting device 10 is formed as a mating connecting means 16, specifically a locking connecting means in the second embodiment.

19 to 21 show, similarly to FIGS. 9 to 11, that two containers 1, 6 according to the invention of the second embodiment are stacked on top of each other to form an assembly 21 according to the invention in the desired form. In FIG. 21, a cross-section is shown along the section line GG shown in FIG. 20. It can also be seen in FIG. 21 how the projection 11 of the position limiter 4 of the container 1 can enter into the position limiter receiving member 5 of another container 6, thereby allowing the containers 1, 6 to be stacked on top of each other in this position. An attempt to stack the containers 1, 6 on top of each other in another position would also not work in the second embodiment as shown and explained based on FIGS. 12 to 14 for the first embodiment. Therefore, this is not specifically shown again in the second embodiment.

FIG. 22 shows a third embodiment of a container 1 according to the invention in an exploded view. FIG. 23 shows the position regulating body 4 of the container 1 shown in FIG. 22. FIG. 24 shows the position regulating body receiving member 7 of the container 1 shown in FIG. 22. FIG. 25 shows the position regulating body blocking member 14 of the container 1 shown in FIG. 22.

In the third embodiment shown in Figs. 22 to 28, each assigned, i.e. complete, non-destructively releasable connecting device 10 is made up of two matching press-together elements. Both of these matching press-together elements are included in two individual components that can be connected by pressing them together. These press-together connecting means 17 can be non-destructively releasable by pulling them apart.

In the third embodiment, the position regulating body 4, the position regulating body receiving member 7, and the position regulating body blocking member 14 are each formed as a pressing element, which allows the production of a pressing connection means 17 with the container base 8.

26 to 28, analogous to FIGS. 9 to 11, the two inventive containers 1, 6 of the third embodiment are stacked on top of each other and the assembly 21 according to the invention is shown in the desired configuration. It has been shown that it is formed by FIG. 28 shows a cross-sectional view taken along cutting line HH shown in FIG. 27.
