Description

Lockable Container
Field of the invention.
The present invention relates to a lockable container.
Background of the invention
Goods are typically delivered to a recipient in some package to protect the goods during the delivery process. Such a package typically comprises a box made out of disposable materials such as cardboard or other soft material and often some inlay inside the box in which the goods are placed.
After delivery, the package and inlay are removed and disposed of, leading to waste with an adverse effect on the environment.
Also, it is found that some packages only provide marginal protection to the goods to be delivered, resulting in damages to the goods. Additionally, this raises costs for replacement or repair of the goods.
Furthermore, since the package consists of a disposable material, the package can be easily opened by a third party, which increases a risk of theft of the goods.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the invention to provide a container that overcomes or mitigates the disadvantages of the package from the prior art.
The object is achieved by a container of rectangular block shape comprising a closed volume between a bottom plate, a top plate, and between the bottom plate and top plate first, second, third and fourth side plates, a first edge between the bottom plate and the first side plate being hinged and a second edge diagonally opposite the first edge and being located between the top plate and the second side plate, the second side plate being perpendicularly opposite the first side plate, the top plate being arranged for releasably locking its free end on a free end of the second side plate at the second edge; the third and fourth side plates being arranged opposite each other and perpendicular on the first and second side plates; each of the third and fourth side plates being divided along a diagonal line from the first edge to the second edge into a top triangular plate portion and a bottom triangular plate portion, each having a diagonal side edge respectively, wherein the first side plate, the top plate and two top triangular plate portions form a first shell part; the second side plate, the floor plate and two bottom triangular plate portions form a second shell part; the first shell part being rotatively hinged at the first edge relative to the second shell part; first diagonal edges of the first shell part between the first edge of the bottom plate and the free end of the top plate and second diagonal edges of the second shell part between the first edge of the bottom plate and the free end of the second side plate are equipped with first interoperating locking means; the free end of the top plate and the free end of the second side plate are equipped with second interoperating locking means, and the container is equipped with an actuating element that is arranged for operating the first and second interoperating locking means in union, when in a closed state of the container, the first and second shell parts are positioned in the configuration of the closed volume.

Description of embodiments
Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a container in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
The container 1 according to the invention has the shape of a substantially rectangular block. The container volume is defined by the walls of the container, and comprises a bottom plate (not shown), a top plate 5, and four side walls 6, 7, 8 (one side not visible).
On the two shorter sides (front and rear ends) of the container the first and second side plates 6, 8 are simple rectangular plates. On the longitudinal sides the third and fourth side plates are composite rectangular plates.
In two parallel longitudinal sides 7 of the container 1 a diagonal partition 10 is present in the wall 7. The diagonal partition runs from a bottom edge or first edge 11 at one side of the container to a top edge or second edge 12 at the perpendicularly opposite side of the container. The diagonal partition divides the wall 7 into two triangular side plates 7a, 7b.
In addition, the bottom edge 11 is provided with a hinge element 13 that allows the simple side plate or first plate 6 to rotate around the bottom edge with respect to the bottom plate.
Further, at the top edge 12 the free end of the top plate 5 and the free end of the second simple side plate or second side plate 8 are releasably coupled.
As a result, the construction of the container 1 has two shell parts A, B that can opened at the top edge 12 and pivoted with respect to each other by means of the hinge element 13, as will be explained below in more detail.
According to an embodiment, the top plate comprises a recess 15, which can hold an actuating device for operating a locking mechanism of the container as will be described in more detail with reference to Figures 6a, 6b.
Figure 2 shows a schematic perspective view of the container of Figure 1 in an opened state. In the opened state the first shell part A is rotated (arrow R) with respect to the hinge element 13 at the first edge of the bottom plate 4.
In the first shell part A, the top plate 5 is coupled to the first side plate 6 by means of the upper right-angle triangular plate portion 7a at the upper side of the container. In the second shell part B, the bottom plate 4 is coupled to the second side plate 8 by means of the lower right-angle triangular plate portion 7b at the lower side of the container.
In the opened state, the top plate 5 is oriented perpendicularly with respect to the bottom plate 4, and allows vertical access to the inner surface of the bottom plate of the container.
Figure 3 shows a schematic side view of the container in a closed unlocked state. According to an embodiment of the invention, the hinge element 13 is arranged as a hinge element axis with a rotation axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first edge 11 that are coupled by a guide slot 14 at each of the ends of the first edge. The guide slot 14 is configured to displace the hinge element axis 13 in transverse direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the first edge 11 and to rotate with respect to both the longitudinal axis of the first edge and the hinge element axis.
In the closed state when the diagonal side edge 10a of the upper triangular plate portion 7a is in contact with the diagonal side edge 10b of the lower triangular plate portion 7b, the guide slot 14 allows by means of rotation R1 and displacement D1 along the slot 14 the hinge element axis 13 to slide SI along the path of the coinciding diagonal side edges 10a, 10b relative to the longitudinal axis of the first edge.
In the unlocked state as shown in Figure 3, the free end 5a of the top plate 5 extends D2 over the free end 8a of the second side plate 8.
The free end 5a of the top plate 5 and the free end 8a of the second side plate 8 comprise interoperating locking means (not shown) that lock the free ends 5a, 8a in the closed and locked state.
Figure 4 shows a schematic side view of the container in closed and locked state. By a locking sliding movement S2 of the upper triangular plate portion 7a with respect to the lower triangular plate portion 7b in the direction of the first edge 11 the container 1 enters the locked state. During the locking and sliding movement S2 the guide slot 14 guides the hinge element axis 13 towards the first edge 11 in a manner that the first side plate 5 becomes positioned perpendicular above the first edge 11.
Also, due to the sliding movement S2, the free end 5a of the top plate 5 interlocks with the free end 8a of the second side plate 8 by the locking means (not shown).
The locking of the container is further illustrated with reference to Figures 6a and 6b.
In addition, the diagonal side edge 10a of the upper triangular plate portion 7a becomes interlocked with the diagonal side edge 10b of the lower triangular plate portion 7b, by means of the locking sliding movement S2. This will be described below in more detail with reference to Figure 5.
Figure 5 shows a schematic cross-section of the container in closed and locked state. The diagonal side edge 10a of the upper triangular plate portion 7a is interlocked with the diagonal side edge 10b of the lower triangular plate portion 7b by means of interoperating locking means. According to an embodiment, the interoperating locking means function by locking hook elements 20 into undercut openings 21. To this end, the diagonal side edge 10a of the upper triangular plate portion 7a comprises a plurality of hook elements 20 that extend perpendicular from the diagonal side edge within the plane of the upper triangular plate portion 7a. The hook elements 20 are spaced apart at regular distances from each other. The hook elements are arranged with their respective opening in the direction of the locking sliding movement S2.
The diagonal side edge 10b of the lower triangular plate portion 7b comprises a plurality of undercut openings 21. In the closed state of the container 1 when the diagonal side edge 10b of the lower triangular plate portion 7b faces the diagonal side edge 10a of the upper triangular plate portion 7a, the positions of the undercut openings 21 on the diagonal side edge 10b correspond with the positions of the hook elements 20, such that the hook elements 20 can enter the openings 21.
When the hook elements 20 are positioned in the openings 21, the locking sliding movement S2 causes the hook elements 20 to move partially under the surface 22 next to the undercut openings. As a result the upper triangular plate portion 7a is locked to the lower triangular plate portion 7b.
Additionally, the upper triangular plate portion 7b and the lower triangular plate portion 7a each comprise a folding hinge 24; 25 that extend from the right angle of the respective triangular portion to its associated diagonal side edgelOa; 10b. This will be described below in more detail with reference to Figure 7.
Figures 6a and 6b show schematic cross-sections of a portion of a container in accordance with an embodiment. In the embodiment, the container 1 comprises a tensioning element 27 that is coupled between the hinge element axis 13 and the first edge 11 for displacing the hinge element axis 13 towards the first edge 11 when the container 1 is in the closed and unlocked state.
The tensioning element 27 can be embodied as a cord element with an inner cable 28 and an outer cable shell 29. The inner cable 28 is arranged in the outer cable shell 29 and is movable in its longitudinal direction.
An end 30 of the inner cable 28 is in connection with the first edge 11. The outer cable shell 29 is in connection with the hinge element axis 13.
When in the unlocked state (see Figure 6a) the inner cable 28 is tensioned, the first edge 11 and the hinge element axis 13are displaced S2 towards each other until the distance is minimized and the first side plate 5 is perpendicular above the first edge 11 (see Figure 6b).
By the displacement actuated by the tensioning element the upper triangular plate portion 7a slides relative to the lower triangular plate portion 7b along in the diagonal side edge 10b, 10a in direction S2, which causes the movement of the hook elements 20 into the locked position in the undercut openings 21, and the interlocking of the free ends of the top plate 5 and the second side plate 8.
According to an embodiment, the tensioning element 25 is coupled to an actuating device (not shown) that can strain or relax the cord element 27 to create or relieve the tension in the inner cable 28 such as a rotating lock. In a further embodiment, the actuating device is mounted on the container, for example on the top plate in recess 15.
Additionally, in a further embodiment, the tensioning element 27 comprises an internal resilient element 31 such as a spring element that is arranged for elastic compression when the inner cable is tensioned. The compressed resilient element resets the position of the inner cable 28 with respect to the outer cable shell 29, when the tensioning element 27 is released.
Figure 7 shows a schematic perspective view of a container according to an embodiment of the invention. Accordingly, the container 1 is collapsible when empty. The first side plate 6 and the bottom plate 4 connected by the hinge element and first edge 13,11 and guide slot 14 form a first layer LI of the collapsed container while the top plate 5 and the second side plate 8 from a second layer L2 on top of the first layer LI. Each triangular plate portion 7a, 7b is folded over its respective folding hinge 24; 25 and along its edges that are coupled to the top plate 5 and first side plate 6or to the bottom plate 4 and the second side plate 8. The folding direction of each triangular plate portion is towards the interior of the container, such that the triangular plate portions 7a, 7b are folded inbetween the first layer LI and the second layer L2 of the collapsed container 1. By collapsing the empty container, the occupied volume of the container is significantly reduced during storage and/or transport in for example a lorry or delivery van.
The invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment. Obvious modifications and alterations will occur to others upon reading and understanding the preceding detailed description. It is intended that the invention be construed as including all such modifications and alterations insofar as they are within the scope as defined by the appended claims.
