Articulated hinge for transport container lid

Technical field

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a hinge connecting a lid or a hinged sidewall of a transport container with a longitudinally extending axially oriented axle, preferably a metal wire, which is located on a fixed circumference of the transport container, in particular a sidewall and to which it is hinged. with sidewall.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is known to attach the lid to the transport container by means of a hinge, the axis of which is formed by a wire cut-off. This wire cutter can shift axially during frequent use inside the hinge and thereby laterally protrude from the hinge, which can cause injuries. In addition, the wire may be intentionally pulled out of the wire by an unauthorized person so as to release the lid from the transport container in the hinge section. This can happen especially when an unauthorized person wants to open the shipping container.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to improve the articulated hinge of a transport container so that it is secured against unauthorized opening.

According to the invention, this object is in the closed state of the lid or sidewall covered by the surface of the rigid container itself on which it is articulated with the sidewall.

designed so that both ends of the axes of the circumference of the transporting hinge are connected by a lid

With such a articulated hinge, the axle cannot be removed from the articulated hinge when the lid is closed, so that a transport container equipped with such articulated hinges is largely secured against unauthorized opening in the closed state.

That is safety. transport container substantially increased and secured against theft of objects from it. Moreover, such an articulated hinge has the advantage that the axle cannot be displaced inadvertently after prolonged use. This does not complicate the assembly of the transport container.

A particularly safe and structurally simple solution is achieved when the axle in the fixed circumference of the transport container is positioned transversely to its longitudinal side, movably between two end positions, with the axle at least in the end position in which the lid is closed by a hinge. partially frontally covered by the surface of the rigid perimeter of the shipping container itself. At the same time, the axis can be transversely movable on a straight or curved path.

For assembly, it is particularly advantageous if there is a side window in the fixed circumference of the transport container through which the axle is slidable when the lid is openly connected to the sidewall.

In order to allow the transport containers to be stacked in an open state, while the outwardly open lid must not rest against the sidewall of the container below it, it is proposed that the lid / sideboard connection on the outer or upper side has at least one projection which the wide-open connection of the lid to the sidewall rests on the outside of the fixed perimeter of the shipping container and protrudes so far that the connected lid to the sidewall extends obliquely outwards.

In order to withstand pressure from above on the lid-bearing portions in which the axle is mounted when the lid is closed, it is proposed that the housing-bearing portions or lid protrusions have at least one, preferably ribbed, protruding protrusion at the bottom , which always rests on the upper edge of the transport container and which is located between the axially extending projections of the transport container.

This increases stability and the axle cannot be forcibly pressed into the retractable position when the lid is closed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The accompanying drawings show an example of a solution according to the invention. In the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a vertical section through the transport container in the hinge region with the lid open, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the shipping container of FIG. 1 with the lid closed, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the shipping container of FIG. 1 with the lid closed and partially open

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A specific embodiment of the invention is described and explained in more detail below with reference to a specific embodiment.

Example 1

The transport container with the upper opening has sidewalls 1, on the upper part of which one hinge 3 is connected by one hinge, by means of which the opening can be closed.

The articulated hinge has a one-piece or multi-part axle 4 in the form of a longitudinal plastic round profile which is located along the entire length of the articulated hinge and lies in cylindrical recesses 5 or bores 5 which are located in protrusions 2 and projections 6 of lid 3 and sidewalls 1; the protrusions 2 and the protrusions 6 alternate with each other along the entire length of the hinge. These protrusions 2 and the projections 6, in which the axle 4 is received, are toothed together, the projection 6 being visible as the lowest part of the lid 3 seen through the window 7, which is located in the part of the hinge front in the sidewall 1. in the protrusions 6 of the lid 3 are cylindrical, the recesses 5 in the protrusions 2 of the sidewall 1 are longitudinal in cross-section, so that the axis 4 extending transversely to their longitudinal shape is vertically movable and the axis 4 can be taken up; 1 and 2 show two different height positions.

When the lid 3 is open, the axis 4 lies lower than the closed lid 3, so that when the lid 3 is open, the face of the axis 4 is perfectly visible in the window 7, so that the axis 4 can be mounted in this position. With the lid 3 of FIG. 2, the axle 4 is moved by a forced movement according to the rocking of the lid 3 to the closing position upwards so that the ends of the axles 4 are covered by the fixed circumference surface 8 of the transport container on the front sides of the side 1 in the hinged part. at age 3.

In order for the axle 4 to be in the upper position when the lid 3 is closed, the lid 3 is supported in the articulated hinge part by the lower part of the projection 9 and, moreover, at the upper edge of the front wall so that the axle 4 and the projection 6 are not movable down. Instead of FIG. 2 of the projected position of the projection 9, but may also be supported at other locations.

In the vicinity of the hinge, the lid 3 has protruding portions 10, which protrude upwards when the lid 3 is closed and, with the lid 3 fully open, abutting on the outside of the sidewall 1. The protruding portions 10 are selected so that 1, thereby ensuring that the lid 3 in the open state does not strike the upper edge of the transport container below it when the transport containers in the open state are stacked on top of each other.

The axle 4 extends through the side protrusions 6 of the lid 3, which are in the form of teeth or toothed notches and which are located between the protrusions 2 of the transport container in which the axle 4 is received. When the lid 3 is closed these protrusions 6 lie in the raised position shown. 2, in which the axis 4 is not removable. In this position, however, it is possible to force the top 3 onto the edge of the lid 3 in the region of the projections 6, so that the projections are moved so far downwards that the axle 4 is removable through the front wall of the hinge. This is prevented by having on the underside of the protrusions 6 downwardly protruding protrusions 11, preferably in the form of ribs, which, when the lid 3 is closed, abut the upper edge of the transport container, which is located between the protrusions 2 of the transport container.
