Description

Storage container

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 who cleans sweeps sweepings onto the collection surface of the dustpan for removal, especially dumping it into a trash can. However, in many cases, especially when performing household house cleaning activities, the person performing the cleaning cannot quickly find or take the dustpan. This especially occurs when the cleaning workers are not well organized and therefore do not have a dedicated place. To store dustpans, brushes or trash cans and other items.

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

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

Another trash container is shown in Korean Patent KR1387964 B1, which has a removable lid and can be used as a dustpan. In its setting as a dustpan, the lid includes a first wall forming a receiving surface for garbage, etc., 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 arranged parallel to the first wall, when the lid covers the container When the second wall is positioned parallel to the rear wall of the container. The L-shaped handle is attached to the second wall, facing the opposite direction to 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 combined components are made of rigid materials, which prevents the lid from being uneven for cleaning personnel The ground completely collects the support of sweeping materials including small particles.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to further develop a lid or a dustpan, respectively, so as to also be able to collect complete sweeping materials from an imperfectly level ground at the same time.

The storage container according to the present invention includes a base body and a removable covering element, such as a lid, which is 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 part 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 the top wall of the storage container, and the second wall is arranged 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 located away from the first wall faces or can contact the outer surface of the corresponding wall of the base body. According to an aspect of the present invention, the rear wall of the base body includes a grip area, allowing the user to hold the base body. Therefore, the user of the storage container will be able to move the base body around, for example, conveniently move it to the actual working area or place it aside so as not to interfere with the user.

It is particularly advantageous if the grip area does not protrude from the rear wall, thus keeping the storage container as narrow as possible, without occupying any additional space that may be required by the extended grip area.

In a possible embodiment, the gripping area includes a bail with an undercut. It can better stay in the hands of the user (ie, his fingers), which significantly alleviates the use of the grip area. In particular, the handle can be made integrally with the rear wall. Because such a rear wall and handle can be manufactured at one time, for example, by injection molding. Alternatively, the handle may be fixed to the rear wall with screws or the like, or may be glued to the rear wall.

When the covering element is placed on the base body to close the storage container, if it is The body's grip area fits favorably and therefore allows the complete storage container to be transported safely. Thus, the top wall of the cover of the covering element may not have any area that further fits the user's hand (for example as shown in Figure 1), or may display an indent for at least one finger, especially a thumb. The indentation can even be formed as a recess for at least one finger of the user, which is particularly suitable for use as a recessed grip.

The undercut under the handle can make the grip area hollow, allowing water to enter the undercut from above to flow towards the outside of the wall. In this regard, the recesses that may be formed in the covering element may also embody one or more openings towards the lower part thereof, which allow water entering the recesses to flow out.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second wall of the covering element includes a zone made of flexible material at least in the area of the first edge. Due to the flexible feature in the section of the first edge, the first edge is in a position suitable to follow its shape to be pressed against the uneven ground, and therefore provides the garbage particles from the ground to the surface of the dustpan, that is, the covering element The second wall, the smooth passage. Obviously, the 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 made of 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 such as a soft edge, silicone, rubber or other types of elastomers can be considered; especially TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) materials. The soft edge may be attached to the portion of the second wall made of rigid material through a fixing device, and the fixing device may be designed to allow the soft edge to be removed or replaced. Preferably, the soft edge and this part 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 side 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 is carried out when the covering element is positioned on the top of the base body. In the cover function, the tapered end edge of the section can be used as a drop edge for raindrops or other types of overhead irrigation. Specifically, the tapered slope penetrates into the inner surface of the second wall which is also used as the dustpan surface, whereby at least a part of it spans the protrusion or superelevation, which is preferably arranged parallel to the section The edge of one end. The inclination angle of the tapered slope can be smaller than the angle of the descending inclination angle on the rear side of the protrusion or superelevation, thereby allowing the garbage particles to easily pass in the sweeping direction, but providing an obstacle to the already collected garbage. It is difficult for these particles to 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 can be designed to have serrations with a smooth front surface and a steep rear surface.

In a possible embodiment, the ultra-elevation may be structurally inconsistent, but have at least two different shapes that can be used for different purposes. That is, a portion can show a small angle of superelevation to serve as a sealing function when placed on the base body and for an improved sweeping function when removed. Another shape may include a super-elevation that protrudes higher and fits the shape of the base body (for example, a prominent rectangular shape) at this position, so that it is used for the sealing function and the fastening function of the fastening cover and the base body.

An example of the storage container may be a storage box for storing tools such as gardening tools such as pruning shears, garden shovel, etc., especially a balcony box. The storage box may also include a compartment for receiving collected gardening or balcony garbage. 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, thereby preventing water splashing into the interior of the storage box. The sealing element may have sufficient flexibility to offset 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 integrally. The sealing element may be a protrusion or super height of the tapered slope of the section, and when the covering element closes the storage container, the protrusion or super height contacts the outer surface of the corresponding wall of the base body.

Another specific embodiment of the present 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 particularly parallel fourth walls, which are arranged orthogonally to the first wall, the second wall and the third wall. In one embodiment, when the covering element runs on the top of the base body to make its covering function, each of the second wall, the third wall and the fourth wall corresponds to the corresponding one of the front wall, the rear wall and the side wall of the base body. One overlap. Due to this overlap of the circumference, the storage box already provides sufficient protection against the entry of raindrops.

However, a further improvement to prevent moisture is 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, that is, the overlapping area, which is arranged circumferentially Sealing element. This all-around (all-around) seal is essential for the stored work Tools provide particularly excellent conditions to prevent environmental impact.

When the covering element is placed on the base body, the fact that the wall of the covering element and the wall of the base body are provided to overlap all the circumference 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 wall of the base body is preferably designed to have a tapered slope at their free end edge. This tapered slope acts as an inclined insertion surface and allows for loose fitting.

In order to better control the collected sweeping materials, the dustpan can be constructed to provide those who are engaged in cleaning with an improved insight as described above. 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 facilitates 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 their side edges offsets the height difference by having an inclined upper edge.

The operation of the dustpan, especially during the sweeping activity, can be further enhanced by the handle element provided on the third wall, so as to provide a grip for moving the dustpan to a desired position. In an embodiment, the handle element is preferably a long and narrow rod arranged parallel to the second wall. This long and narrow rod can be easily surrounded by cleaning staff, and can realize the collection of sweeping objects and emptying dustpan in an ergonomic manner. The handle element may be fixed to the free end edge of the third wall, from which it extends in straight prosecution.

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

In one embodiment, the covering element provides different solutions for the elongated handle element. According to this alternative, the handle element is arranged on the first wall of the covering element so that the handle element may be a recess in the first wall. Such a 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. To this end, the covering element and/or the base body includes a hinge for establishing this pivotal connection Pieces. 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 arrangement.

In an embodiment, placing the cover on the base body can be achieved by forming indentions 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 indentations can also be formed on the base body and then matched with corresponding embossments on the cover.

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

With reference to the accompanying 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. In particular, Figures 8 to 10 show exemplary embodiments in which the box or the parts on the box are equipped with a holding area.

As can be seen from Figure 1, the balcony box 1 is a box-shaped container, which can have a height of 260mm, a length of 200mm, and a depth of 100mm. It is made of injection-molded plastic materials.

The balcony box 1 includes two components: a box base 5 and a box cover 7. The two components 5 and 7 are both separate components 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 location for the balcony box 1, it can be hung on a wall, for example, the wall of a house. To this end, two suspension eyes 9 are provided on the rear wall 11 of the box base 5.

When being separated from the box base 5 during the vertical movement, as shown in FIG. 4, the box cover 7 opens the inside of the box base 5. As shown in Figure 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 cover 7 is removed from the box base, the owner can take advantage of its second function. In the case where the outer surface 15a of the front wall 15 of the box cover 7 is facing the floor or the ground, the box cover 7 can be used as a dustpan for collecting and removing the sweeping 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, and the handle 17 is shaped as a long and narrow rod with a rectangular cross section. The handle 17 is arranged in parallel with the inner surface 15b of the front wall 15 of the box cover 7 and constitutes a continuation of the rear wall 19 of the box cover. In order to provide the cleaning personnel with a better view of the collecting surface of the dustpan 7 and also to perform unobstructed sweeping movement, the rear wall 19 of the box cover 7 has a significantly smaller height than the height of the front wall 15. However, according to Figure 3a, the rear wall 19 is just a small strip.

In addition to the front wall 15 and the rear wall 19, the box cover 7 also 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 arranged 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 Figure 3a, the upper edges of the side walls 21, 21' show a concave curve, however, other embodiments may alternatively provide straight or protruding upper edges.

In order to move all the garbage particles across the front of the collection surface of the dustpan 7 The front edge is provided with a highly flexible soft edge 23 made of silicon, allowing adjustments to uneven ground. Through this adjustment, the number 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 cover 7 with different heights of the front wall 15 and the rear wall 19, 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 the rear wall 11, and the side wall 27 , 27' is suitable for the upper edge of the lid side wall 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 in parallel with 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 edges of the side walls 21, 21' and the rear wall 19 of the lid 7 is provided. By overlapping the side walls 21, 21' of the box cover 7 with the side walls 27, 27' of the box base 5 and the rear wall 19 of the box lid 7 and the rear wall 11 of the box base 5 partially overlapping this arrangement, a labyrinth type is provided. (labyrinth) seal, which creates a seal that is sufficiently resistant to humidity. Of course, the sealing effect can be further improved through the practice of specific sealing elements.

Fig. 4 also illustrates the operation when the balcony box 1 is to be closed, for example, after the sweeping operation of using the box cover 7 as a dustpan has been completed. During this closing process, the box cover 7 approaches the box base 5 from above and downwards in the vertical movement. In order to facilitate the closing movement, a centering method is particularly provided. The handle 17 of the box cover 7 is used 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 size slightly larger than the cross-sectional area of the handle 17, which allows the handle 17 to slide in 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 sweeping effect, the soft edge 23 is gradually tapered toward its front or end edge 33, thereby forming a ramp 23a for the entry and exit of garbage particles, providing a particularly small step difference for sweeping. This taper also increases the flexibility of the soft edge 23 at its end edge 33. As shown in Figure 5, there is no flush from the access ramp 23a to the inner surface 15b of the front wall 15. Rather, the super height 35 of the access ramp 23a higher than the inner surface 15b is provided. When the garbage particles have been collected on the inner surface 15b or the dust collecting surface respectively, the super height 35 slightly blocks the garbage particles to prevent the garbage from returning.

However, the super height 35 provides a second function: when the balcony box 1 is closed, the super height 35 is pressed against the front wall 25 of the box base, thereby acting as a sealing element. The silicon material has higher flexibility than the rigid box base 5 and box lid 7 materials, so the ultra-high 35 can offset the Any warping that may occur on the front wall 25 of the base and/or the front wall 15 of the box lid.

In an embodiment (not shown) equipped with an increased seal, not only is the front wall 15 of the box lid provided with a soft edge 23 having an ultra-high 35, but also such a seal is arranged circumferentially.

Figures 6a and 6b show the cover and base body of an alternative embodiment of the balcony box. Although the lids of Figures 6a and 6b implement other components and their dual functions in the same manner, the handle is different from the handle 17 of the embodiment shown in Figures 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, i.e. 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 the area of the first edge, but only a part thereof. In this embodiment, the super height 35 of the soft side 23 is only exposed in the space between the multiple protrusions 24 of the soft side. The soft side 23 facing the inner surface 15b of the cover 7 beside the protrusion 24 does not show any super height 35.

In the cover 7, a recessed portion 41 is formed on the side wall of the cover 7 to cooperate with corresponding embossments 42 arranged on the base body 5. This is particularly helpful for placing the cover 7 on the top of the base body 5.

As shown in Fig. 6a, the recess 37 may show one or more (here two) openings (here, holes), allowing the water entering the recess 37 to flow downward when the cover 7 is placed on the base body 5.

Figures 7a, 7b, and 7c best show the two different components that form the inner part of the soft edge 23. The first type of component is basically similar to the soft edge shown in the embodiment of Figures 1 to 5, showing a sealing function (when fixed to the base body 5) and a collecting function (when deviated from the base body 5) The super high 35. The second part of the soft side 23 shows two protrusions 24 which, when fixed to the retracted portion 28 of the base body 5, have a locking function with the retracted portion 28 of the base body 5.

FIG. 8a shows an exemplary embodiment of the base body 5 with the grip area 51. Figure 8b shows its cross-sectional view. Here, the rear wall 11 of the base body 5 includes a grip area 51 that allows the user to hold the base body 5. In particular, the grip area 51 does not protrude from the rear wall 11. The grip area 51 includes a handle 52 with an undercut 53, allowing the user's hand (or at least one finger) to carry and/or move the base body in a stable manner. When the covering element 7 is placed on the base body 5, it is particularly advantageous to cooperate with the grip area 51 of the base body 5. A similar embodiment of the storage container is also shown in Figure 2. At the same time, here, the handle 17 protrudes into the undercut 53 formed under the handle 52. Here, the handle 52 and the corresponding undercut 53 are formed to be narrower than in the case of the embodiment of Figure 8, but still allow the user to hold Housing and carrying the base body 5. In an advantageous manner, the handle 52 is formed integrally with the rear wall 11.

As shown in Figure 8b, the undercut 53 under the handle 52 can hollow the gripping area 51, allowing water to enter the undercut 53 from above and flow toward the outside of the wall 11.

Figure 9 shows a closed storage container 1 with a base body 5 and a removable covering element. The covering element 7 is adapted to cover the open top side of the base body 5. This allows the covering element 7 to interact with the corresponding grip area 51 of the base body 5. Here, the entire storage container 1 can be easily carried by the user without the risk of losing any parts

Figures 10a and 10b show possible embodiments of a practical cover 7. The cover 7 in FIG. 10a has a recess 54 toward the middle of the upper wall 14 of the cover 7. When cooperating with the grip area 51 formed on the base body 5, this indentation fits at least one finger of the user, especially his thumb. Figure 10b shows an alternative embodiment of the cover 7. Here, a recess 37 formed on the upper wall 14 of the cover 7 is matched with the grip area 51 of the base body 5. The recess 37 accommodates at least one finger of the user. When the cover 7 is used as a shovel, such as the example described in Figure 6a, it can also be used as a recessed grip.
