Description

Storage container, especially a storage box

The invention relates to a storage container, especially a storage box.

Generally, when sweeping debris, dust, garden waste, etc., a dustpan is required, and the person performing the cleaning sweeps sweepings onto the collecting surface of the dustpan for removal, especially dumping it into a trash bin. However, in many cases, especially when performing household house cleaning activities, the person performing the cleaning cannot quickly find or take the dustpan, which especially occurs when the cleaning worker is not well organized and therefore does not have a dedicated place In the case of storing dustpans, brushes or trash cans.

In order to support cleaning personnel, especially those who are poorly organized and store all the necessary cleaning items in the same place, some storage containers have been proposed, especially garbage containers, which provide a connection device for the dustpan , And further make the dustpan as a functional part of the storage container, for example, the function of distributing the dustpan on the storage container as a cover or a covering element.

U.S. Patent Application No. 2001/0045371 A1 discloses a portable garbage container having a container with a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, and a side wall, and thus is designed as a substantially parallelepiped-shaped box having an opening at the top body. The opening may be covered by a lid hingedly connected to the container in a removable manner at the upper edge of the rear wall. When removed from the container, the lid is inverted and used as a dustpan.

Another garbage container is shown in Korean Patent No. KR1387964 B1, which has a removable lid and can be used as a dustpan. In its arrangement for use as a dustpan, the lid includes a first wall forming a receiving surface for garbage or the like, and when the container is covered by the lid, the first wall is positioned parallel to the front wall of the container. The lid also includes a second wall disposed parallel to the first wall, and when the lid covers the container, the second wall is positioned parallel to the rear wall of the container. An L-shaped handle is attached to the second wall, facing the opposite direction of the first wall and the second wall.

All known combinations of storage containers with removable lids that can also be used as dustpans when removed from the storage container disclose that the assembled components are made of rigid materials, which prevents the lid from ever being uneven for the cleaning staff The ground is fully supported by the collection of sweeps including small particles.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to further develop a lid or a dustpan, respectively, so that it is also possible to collect complete sweeps from imperfectly flat ground at the same time.

The storage container according to the present invention includes a base body and a removable cover element, for example, a lid, the cover element being adapted to cover the open top side of the base body in the upright position of the storage container. The base body is provided with a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls arranged opposite to each other. The two side walls are preferably arranged substantially parallel to each other, wherein the corner portion of the base body may be curved. The covering element includes at least a first wall and a second wall. When the covering element covers the base body, the first wall serves as a top wall of the storage container, and the second wall is disposed orthogonal to the first wall. In the arrangement where the second wall covers the base body, the second wall partly overlaps one of the front wall, the rear wall or the side wall of the base body. In this configuration, the first edge of the second wall of the covering element is disposed away from the first wall and faces or can contact the outer surface of the corresponding wall of the base body. According to one aspect of the invention, the second wall of the covering element includes a zone of flexible material at least in the area of the first edge. Due to the flexible characteristics of the section at the first edge, the first edge is in a position suitable for being pressed against uneven ground following its shape, and thus provides a smooth passage of garbage particles from the ground to the surface of the dustpan, ie Cover the second wall of the element. Obviously, this section does not necessarily include all areas of the first edge, but may also include only a part thereof. The section at the first edge may be a soft edge, which is fixed or connected to a part of the second wall composed of a rigid material. The rigid material can be any kind of metal or plastic material, especially a reinforced plastic material or any material that can be injection molded. As a flexible material with soft edges, for example, silicone, rubber, or other types of elastomers; especially TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) materials can be considered. The soft edge may be attached to a portion of the second wall made of rigid material through a fixing device, which may be designed to allow the soft edge to be removed or replaced. Preferably, the soft edge and the portion of the second wall are injection molded to provide an exclusive combination of flexible and rigid materials. In particular, when manufacturing the covering element and thus joining the soft edges with the rigid material of the cover, a two-component injection molding process (2K process) can be used.

In order to further improve the sweeping and collection of garbage particles, the first edge of the second wall of the covering element preferably passes through the conic slope of the entry section and it is carried out when the covering element is positioned on top of the base body In the function of the cover, the tapered end edge of the section can be used as a drop edge of raindrops or other types of overhead irrigation. Specifically, the tapered bevel penetrates into the inner surface of the second wall which also serves as the surface of the dustpan, whereby at least a part of it spans the protrusion or superelevation, which is preferably arranged parallel to the area One end edge of the segment. The angle of inclination of the tapered slope can be smaller than the angle of the angle of inclination of the descent on the rear side of the protrusion or superelevation, thereby allowing garbage particles to pass easily in the sweeping direction, but providing an obstacle to the collected garbage to make it difficult Pass in the opposite direction. The superelevation can be designed by a tapered slope with the highest point above the level of the surface of the second wall. Therefore, the cross section of the section at the first edge of the second wall may be designed as a saw tooth having a smooth front surface and a steep rear surface.

In a possible embodiment, the superelevation may not be uniform in structure, but has at least two different shapes that can be used for different purposes. That is to say, a part can show an ultra-high at a small angle to serve as a sealing function when placed on the base body and as an improved sweeping function when removed. Another shape may include a super-high protrusion, and at this position coincides with the shape of the base body (for example, a remarkable rectangular shape), and thus is used for the sealing function and the fastening function of the fastening cover and the base body.

A preferred embodiment of the storage container may be a storage box for storing tools such as garden tools such as pruning shears, garden shovel, etc., especially a balcony box. The storage box may also include a compartment to receive the collected garden or balcony trash. Such storage boxes are optimally designed when they are watertight in order to protect the stored tools from environmental stress. In particular, for this type of storage box, it is advantageous when the sealing element is arranged in the overlapping area of the second wall of the covering element and the corresponding wall of the base body. Such a sealing element tightens the space between the second wall of the covering element and the allocated wall of the base body, thus preventing water from splashing into the interior of the storage box. The sealing element may have sufficient flexibility to counteract any warpage on both the second wall of the covering element and the corresponding wall of the base body.

The sealing element and the section made of flexible material are preferably designed in one piece. The sealing element may be a protrusion or superelevation of the tapered slope of the section, and when the covering element closes the storage container, the protrusion or ultraelevation contacts the outer surface of the corresponding wall of the base body.

Another specific embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the covering element has a third wall in addition to the first wall and the second wall, the third wall is particularly arranged orthogonal to the first wall and parallel to the second wall, Furthermore, there are two especially parallel fourth walls, which are arranged orthogonal to the first and second walls and the third wall. In an embodiment, when the covering element travels on top of the base body to cover the function, each of the second wall, the third wall, and the fourth wall correspond to the corresponding ones of the front wall, the rear wall, and the side walls of the base body An overlap. Due to this circular overlap, the storage box has provided sufficient protection against the ingress of raindrops.

However, a further improvement in preventing moisture is arranged through the space between the second, third and fourth walls of the covering element and the front, rear and side walls of the base body, ie the overlapping area, arranged circumferentially Sealing element. This all-around seal provides particularly good conditions for the stored tools against environmental influences.

When the covering element is placed on the base body, the fact that the walls of the covering element and the base body overlap circumferentially may lead to cumbersome operations. Therefore, each of the second wall, the third wall, and the fourth wall of the covering element and/or the front wall, the rear wall, and the side walls of the base body are preferably designed to have tapered slopes at their free end edges. This tapered bevel acts as an inclined insertion surface, and allows for loose fitting.

In order to better control the collected sweeps, the dustpan can be constructed to provide the above-mentioned improved insights for those engaged in cleaning. This goal can be achieved by the height of the third wall of the covering element being smaller than the height of the second wall. This structure not only provides improved insights, but also helps the movement of the brush when sweeping garbage particles onto the surface of the dustpan. Preferably, the fourth wall connecting the second wall and the third wall at the side edges of the second wall and the third wall offsets the difference in height by having an inclined upper edge.

The operation of the dustpan, especially during the sweeping activity, can be further strengthened by the handle element provided on the third wall, thereby providing a grip for moving the dustpan to the desired position. In one embodiment, the handle element is preferably an elongated rod disposed parallel to the second wall. Such a long and narrow rod can be easily surrounded by a cleaning person, and can collect sweeps and empty the dustpan in an ergonomic manner. The handle element may be fixed to the free end edge of the third wall, extending straight in there from there.

The cover element with the handle element is characterized by a groove or channel provided in the rear wall of the base body, the groove or channel is designed to be received and/or guided when the cover element is placed on or removed from the base body Handle element. When used as a cover for the base body, this arrangement further improves the operation of the covering element, especially if the covering element is positioned and slid onto the base body.

In a preferred embodiment, the covering element provides different solutions for the elongated handle element. According to this alternative, the handle element is provided on the first wall of the covering element, so that the handle element can be a recess in the first wall. This recessed grip can be used as a pocket for introducing the fingers of the hand, while the thumb contacts the second or third wall of the covering element in a pinching manner. It is advantageous if the handle element is arranged in the central area of the first wall.

Another alternative embodiment proposes to arrange the covering element on the base body by a pivot connection. For this purpose, the covering element and/or the base body include a hinge part for establishing such a pivoting connection. In the closed position of the storage container, the sealing element is pushed onto the corresponding wall of the base body, thereby counteracting any warpage and establishing a watertight setting.

In one embodiment, placing the cover on the base body can be achieved by indentions formed in at least one wall of the fourth wall of the cover and corresponding embossments arranged on the base body Coordination becomes easier. It can be understood that one or more inner constrictions may also be formed on the base body, and then cooperate with corresponding embossments on the cover.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

Figures 6a and 6b are the lid and base of an alternative embodiment of the balcony box; and

Figures 7a, 7b, and 7c are detailed sections of the balcony box of Figure 6.

Referring to the drawings, it shows a specific embodiment of a box with a functional covering element, which is a balcony box 1 for storing items, especially garden tools 3 such as a trimmer and the like. As can be seen from Figure 1, the balcony box 1 is a box-shaped container, which can have a height of 260 mm, a length of 200 mm, and a depth of 100 mm. It is made of plastic material that can be injection molded.

The balcony box 1 includes two components: a box base 5 and a box cover 7. Both components 5, 7 are separate elements of the balcony box 1, they are not fixedly connected to each other, but as shown in Figures 1 and 2, they can be put together to form a closed box. In order to provide a stable position for the balcony box 1, it can be hung on a wall, for example, a wall of a house. For this, two suspension eyes 9 are provided on the rear wall 11 of the box base 5.

When it is separated from the box base 5 during vertical movement, as shown in FIG. 4, the box cover 7 uncovers the inside of the box base 5. As shown in Fig. 3b, the interior is divided into several compartments 13 of different widths for separating the stored items from each other, thereby allowing the owner of the balcony box 1 to maintain good organization.

As shown in Figure 3a, when the box lid 7 is removed from the box base, it enables the owner to take advantage of his second function. In the case where the outer surface 15a of the front wall 15 of the box cover 7 is directed toward the floor or the ground, the box cover 7 can be used as a dustpan for collecting and removing the sweeped garbage particles. In this second function, the inner surface 15b of the front wall 15 serves as a garbage collection surface. For the ergonomic operation of the dustpan 7, a handle 17 is provided, which is shaped as a long and narrow rod of rectangular cross-section. The handle 17 is arranged parallel to the inner surface 15b of the front wall 15 of the box lid 7 and constitutes a continuation of the back wall 19 of the box lid. In order to provide the cleaning personnel with a better view of the collecting surface of the dustpan 7 and to enable an unobstructed sweeping movement, the rear wall 19 of the box lid 7 has a significantly smaller height than the height of its front wall 15, However, as shown in Figure 3a, the rear wall 19 is only a small strip.

In addition to the front wall 15 and the rear wall 19, the box cover 7 includes two side walls 21, 21' to complete its box-like structure. Each side wall 21, 21' connects the side edge of the front wall 15 with the side edge of the rear wall 19. Due to the different heights of the front wall 15 and the rear wall 19, the upper edges of the side walls 21, 21' and their lower edges are not aligned in parallel, but the height of the side walls 21, 21' continuously decreases from the front wall 15 to the rear wall 19. In the embodiment of Fig. 3a, the upper edges of the side walls 21, 21' show concave curves, however, other embodiments may instead provide straight or raised upper edges.

In order to achieve significant sweeping by moving all garbage particles across the front edge of the collecting surface of the dustpan 7, the front edge is provided with a highly flexible soft edge 23 made of silicon, allowing for uneven ground Make adjustments. Through such adjustment, the amount of garbage particles that are not transferred to the collection surface but pushed into the gap between the front edge of the dustpan and the ground is highly restricted.

According to the specific shape of the box lid 7 with the front wall 15 and the rear wall 19 having different heights, the box base is designed in the opposite way, that is, the height of the front wall 25 of the box base 5 is smaller than that of the rear wall 11 and the side wall 27 , 27' is adapted to the upper edge of the lid side walls 21, 21' to provide an upper edge with a convex contour. In order to improve the stability of the closed balcony box 1, a flange 29 is provided near the upper edges of the side walls 27, 27 ′ and the rear wall 11, and the upper side of the flange 29 is arranged parallel to the upper edges of the side walls 27, 27 ′ and the rear wall 11 . With such a flange 29, a shoulder for supporting the upper edge of the side walls 21, 21' and the rear wall 19 of the box cover 7 is provided. By the arrangement of the side walls 21, 21' of the box cover 7 and the side walls 27, 27' of the box base 5 and the rear wall 19 of the box cover 7 partially overlapping the rear wall 11 of the box base 5, a labyrinth is provided (labyrinth) a seal that produces a seal that is sufficiently resistant to humidity. Of course, the sealing effect can be further improved by practicing specific sealing elements.

FIG. 4 also illustrates the operation when the balcony box 1 is to be closed, for example, after the cleaning operation using the box lid 7 as a dust pan has been completed. During this closing process, the box lid 7 approaches the box base 5 from above in a vertical movement. In order to facilitate the closing movement, a centering method is provided in particular. The handle 17 of the box cover 7 serves as a central device to cooperate with a corresponding groove 31 (groove) provided on the rear wall 11 of the box base 5. The cross-sectional area of the groove 31 shows a slightly larger size than the cross-sectional area of the handle 17, which allows the handle 17 to slide within the groove 31 with almost no gap.

With the cross-sectional view of Fig. 5, the silicon soft edge 23 will be further explained. In order to further improve the cleaning effect, the soft edge 23 tapers toward its leading edge or end edge 33, thereby forming an access ramp 23a for garbage particles, providing a particularly small step difference for cleaning. This tapering also increases the flexibility of the soft edge 23 at its end edge 33. As shown in FIG. 5, no flush will cross from the access ramp 23 a to the inner surface 15 b of the front wall 15. Rather, an extra height 35 of the access ramp 23 a higher than the inner surface 15 b is provided. When the garbage particles have been collected on the inner surface 15b or the dustpan collection surface, respectively, the super-high 35 slightly blocks the garbage particles to prevent the garbage from returning.

However, the ultra-high 35 provides a second function: when the balcony box 1 is in the closed state, the ultra-high 35 is pressed against the front wall 25 of the box base, thereby serving as a sealing element. Due to the higher flexibility of the silicon material than the rigid case base 5 and case lid 7 materials, the ultra-high 35 can counteract any possible production on the case base front wall 25 and/or case lid front wall 15 Warped.

In an embodiment (not shown) provided with an increased seal, not only is a soft edge 23 with an extra high 35 provided on the front wall 15 of the box lid, but the seal is arranged circumferentially.

Figures 6a and 6b show the lid and base body of an alternative embodiment of the balcony box. Although the box lid of FIGS. 6a and 6b realizes other components and their dual functions in the same manner, the handle is different from the handle 17 of the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 5. First, the handle 17 is provided on the top wall 14 of the box cover 7. Furthermore, the handle 17 is realized with a recess 37 in the central area of the top wall 14, that is, it is suitable for use as a recessed grip.

The cover 7 is provided with soft edges 23 and 24. The section covered by the soft edge 23 does not include all areas of the first edge, but only a part thereof. In this embodiment, the super-high 35 of the soft edge 23 is only revealed in the space between the protrusions 24 of the soft edge. The soft edge 23 next to the protrusion 24 facing the inner surface 15b of the cover 7 does not reveal any super high 35.

In the cover 7, a retracted portion 41 is formed on the side wall thereof, and cooperates with a corresponding relief 42 arranged on the base body 5. This particularly helps to place the cover 7 on top of the base body 5.

Figures 7a, 7b, and 7c best show the two different parts that form the inner portion of the soft edge 23. The first component is basically similar to the soft edges shown in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 5 and is shown to produce a sealing function (when fixed to the base body 5) and a collection function (when deviated from the base body 5)的超高35. The second part of the soft edge 23 shows two protrusions 24 which, when fixed to the indented portion 28 of the base body 5, have a locking function with the indented portion 28 of the base body 5.
