Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for storing and transporting discrete articles, and to an insert for a device of this kind.
  • DE 41 38 507 has already proposed a transport and/or storage device for discrete articles, having a web of foil or woven material which can be folded up and which, when it is folded up, forms at least one substantially U-shaped bag in which the discrete article can be received, a suspension device being provided at the upper end of the bag, capable of being suspended on at least one suspension device which is secured to a base structure.
  • the discrete article is simply inserted into the U-shaped bag which is formed by the foil or woven web, and this bag is then in turn suspended at the upper ends of the limbs of the U.
  • the foil or woven web lies around the discrete article and abuts against it such that the suspended bag does not occupy substantially more space than the inserted discrete article itself.
  • the foil or woven webs could where appropriate be padded or upholstered.
  • the material webs are usually made from a relatively soft, flexible cloth, which may for example be a fabric or may indeed be made from a fleece-like material or where appropriate a synthetic web or a foil with embossed elements.
  • the U-shaped bags into which the articles are pushed either from above between two rods or, indeed, from the side into the ends, open at the sides, of the U-shaped bags have to have a correspondingly large vertical (and where appropriate also horizontal) depth.
  • a relatively long piece of material web hangs down loosely, forming a U-shaped loop, between two adjacent rods from which the two ends of a U-shaped bag of this kind are suspended.
  • this material web is relatively soft and flexible in order to treat the articles to be transported and/or stored gently and to protect them, when the material webs hang down loosely the opposing web portions can be distorted relatively easily or indeed form folds, which can result in the two portions of a U-shaped bag which form the limbs of the U lying against one another, so that the bag concerned is no longer open and readily accessible, at least on one of its end sides or some of these end sides.
  • DE 198 26 429 has already proposed a device in which the U-shaped bags are each formed by two separate and substantially parallel material webs made from the flexible material, in which case at least one connection web in each case, made from the flexible web material, extends between the two material webs and is preferably connected to both adjacent material webs over substantially its entire length.
  • At least one insert ( 6 ) is provided for insertion into a bag ( 3 ) for receiving a discrete article, said insert ( 6 ) being preferably located in a portion of the bag taking up substantially the main load of the discrete article and being moveable relative to the bag, securable to the bag and removable from the bag.
  • the invention also includes a device for storing and transporting discrete articles, having at least one bag ( 3 ) in which the discrete article can be received, wherein it comprises at least one insert ( 6 ), as described above, in the region of the bag ( 3 ) taking up substantially the main load of the discrete article, said insert being movable relative to the bag and detachably secured to the bag ( 3 ).
  • FIG. 1 shows a device for storing and/or transporting discrete articles
  • FIG. 2 shows three different embodiments of the device from FIG. 1 , with inserts according to the invention
  • FIG. 3 shows an example of a securing procedure for an insert according to the invention
  • FIGS. 4 to 8 show different embodiments of the insert according to the invention.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for storing and/or transporting discrete articles, having at least one bag in which the discrete article can be received, which is simple in construction and in which the loading and unloading procedure is simplified, that is to say that the risk of individual web portions forming the bag being distorted is virtually ruled out, in which the risk of damage to the bags is in particular markedly reduced, and which is easy to clean.
  • this object is achieved by a device of the type mentioned, in which at least one insert is provided preferably in the region of the bag taking up substantially the main load of the discrete article and is movable relative thereto or is secured to the bag but is removable therefrom.
  • the insert provides protection against damage and/or soiling to the bag. Although damage may still occur in the case of heavy, sharp-edged discrete articles, this damage no longer affects the bag but only the insert.
  • the insert can either be removed from the bag or moved relative thereto, in accordance with the invention, if it is damaged or soiled, so that another, undamaged portion of the insert is now arranged in the region of the bag taking up the main load of the discrete article. It will be understood that the region which takes up substantially the main load of the discrete article does not by any means always have to be arranged at the base of a bag.
  • the insert according to the invention it is also possible to simplify cleaning. Because most of the soiling conventionally occurs in the region of the bag that takes up the main load of the discrete article, soiling will substantially affect the insert, with the result that the latter can either be removed from the bag and then replaced, or be cleaned and put back in again, or can be displaced relative to the bag, so that after the displacement another, unsoiled region of the insert is arranged in the region of the bag which takes up substantially the main load of the discrete article.
  • the insert is detachably secured to the bag such that it is possible to remove the insert from the bag in a simple manner, without additional tools.
  • the insert may for example be secured to the bag with the aid of double-sided adhesive tape.
  • the insert may be securable to the bag with the aid of a Velcro or hook-and-burr closure or a similar closing system. In both cases, a simple and speedy removal or replacement of the insert is ensured.
  • the inserts are secured to the bag such that they can be removed therefrom without damage to the bag.
  • a plurality of inserts are provided.
  • these measures can further lower the costs which are associated with replacing the insert, since in that case only the damaged or soiled insert has to be replaced or cleaned.
  • a plurality of inserts are provided one above the other, in which case preferably the insert lowest down is secured to the bag, while the other inserts are each detachably secured to the insert below them.
  • the at least one insert is displaceable relative to the region of the bag which takes up substantially the main load of the discrete article.
  • This measure also brings about a whole series of advantages. Because, conventionally, the device for storing and/or transporting discrete articles is not always loaded with the same type of discrete articles, it may occur that the region of he bag which takes up the main load of the discrete article is rather towards the front region of the bag with one type of discrete article, whereas this region is rather towards the rear part of the bag with another type of discrete article. If the insert is displaceable relative to the bag, the insert can be displaced to the area where the region of the bag which takes up the main load of the discrete article is to be found, for the type of discrete article used.
  • the insert takes the form of a strip.
  • This strip can where necessary be of considerable length.
  • the insert it is possible for the insert to be pushed on a little after each use and the soiled and/or damaged strip to be taken up in a corresponding take-up device, for example a winding-up device.
  • the insert takes the form of an endless strip which is looped around the base region of the bag.
  • the endless strip can be pushed on appropriately after every use which causes damage and/or soiling to the insert. Only once the strip has been soiled and/or damaged almost everywhere does it have to be replaced.
  • a brush device is provided for cleaning the at least one insert.
  • the at least one insert preferably engages with the brush device and is movable relative thereto. If the insert is now moved relative to the brush device, the brush device cleans the insert automatically, with the result that the latter can be used over a relatively long period.
  • the insert is in this case made in the form of a strip or endless strip and is moved past the brush device.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device for storing and/or transporting discrete articles
  • FIG. 2 shows three different embodiments of the device from FIG. 1 , with inserts according to the invention
  • FIG. 3 shows an example of a securing procedure for an insert according to the invention
  • FIGS. 4 to 8 show different embodiments of the insert according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device for storing and/or transporting discrete articles. Visible in FIG. 1 is a crate 1 , which is closed on all sides except that to the left of the visible front side. If appropriate, however, the side opposite the open side could also be open.
  • rods or tubes 2 Parallel to the lower and upper edges of the open side there extend rods or tubes 2 which are suspended in rod holders 12 which, for their part, are secured to the housing wall of the crate 1 . In the vicinity of the closed rear wall, too, corresponding rods 2 each extend in the vicinity of the upper and lower edges.
  • the rods 2 carry flexible material webs 4 which have a substantially rectangular shape and have in their corner regions respective eyelets 9 which are pushed onto the rods 2 .
  • the spacing between the rods 2 and the spacing between the eyelets 9 on the webs 4 are each dimensioned with respect to one another such that the material webs 4 can hang loosely down from the upper rods 2 or are slightly tensioned so that the material webs 4 form substantially flat, planar material webs.
  • spacers 10 in the form of short tubular portions whereof the external diameter is greater than the internal diameter of the eyelets 9 , and the material webs 4 which are thus adjacent are held at a fixedly predeterminable spacing.
  • connection webs 5 are sewn in, and together with the vertical material webs 4 these form U-shaped bags.
  • connection webs 5 are sewn at a spacing one above the other between two respective adjacent separating webs 4 , so that two U-shaped bags 3 lying one above the other are formed between each two separating webs 4 .
  • connection webs 5 also have inserts 6 .
  • the inserts may extend in depth over the entire length of the connection web 5 , but they may also be only relatively short.
  • the device may for example also simply comprise horizontal webs.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates two material webs 4 which are arranged parallel to one another and have corresponding eyelets 9 .
  • connection webs 3 which form the bags.
  • the letters A, B and C here indicate three different embodiments having different inserts 6 .
  • the insert merely comprises an insert 6 which is secured to the connection web 3 by a double-sided adhesive tape and/or hook-and-burr closure and which extends over substantially the entire length of the connection web 3 . If, during use, damage and/or soiling of the insert 6 should occur, it can be separated from the connection web 3 and replaced by another, undamaged and unsoiled insert 6 .
  • the embodiment B shows how a plurality of inserts 6 are arranged one above the other on the connection web 3 . If, during use, damage and/or soiling of the top insert 6 should occur, it can be removed so that the next insert 6 , underneath it, is revealed. Ideally, a check is carried out at regular intervals to ensure that a sufficient number of inserts 6 is still arranged on the connection web 3 and, if this is not the case, the inserts 6 are supplemented accordingly.
  • the embodiment C finally, shows an insert 6 which is arranged as a wrapped-around strip. If the upper side of the insert 6 is soiled and/or damaged, the wrapped-around strip can simply be displaced around the connection web 3 so that the lower part of the strip comes to lie on the upper side of the connection web 3 .
  • a brush device 7 is also arranged here, and this comes into contact with the strip-shaped insert 6 . If the strip-shaped insert 6 is moved relative to the bag or the connection web 3 forming the bag, this automatically results in the surface of the strip-shaped insert 6 being brushed off by the brush device 7 . Any particles which are on the surface of the insert are then effectively removed by the brush device 7 .
  • the brush device is connected to electrical ground, with the result that movement of the brush device 7 in relation to the insert 6 creates an anti-static effect, and no dust is attracted to the inserts 6 .
  • the brush device does not have to be arranged in the position shown in the figure, but may also be arranged in front of, behind, above or below the insert 6 .
  • a plurality of wrapped-around strips may also be arranged one above the other, so that in the event of wear a wrapped-around strip may when necessary be removed.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the procedure for securing the insert 6 to the bag.
  • first of all the securing sections 8 are bent around downward in appropriate manner (see middle illustration of FIG. 3 ) and then they are placed on the bag, as illustrated by the bottom illustration of FIG. 3 .
  • FIG. 4 shows a whole series of different inserts according to the invention.
  • the inserts may have a round U-shaped cross-section, a V-shaped cross-section, a flat cross-section or a rectilinear U-shaped cross-section.
  • the inserts 6 may also accordingly have a different shape, however.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the insert 6 is not connected to the bag but—similarly to the embodiment C in FIG. 2 —the insert 6 is in the form of a wrapped-around strip and itself forms the base of the bag.
  • two rods 13 are provided, around which the strip-shaped insert 6 runs.
  • cables or ropes could for example also be used.
  • the rods 13 run through eyelets in the vertical material webs 4 .
  • the rods 16 may also run outside the vertical material webs 4 .
  • the insert 6 may where necessary be displaced simply by the two rods 13 .
  • this type of securing may also be combined with the embodiment C in FIG. 2 , as illustrated in FIG. 6 .
  • the strip-shaped insert 6 surrounds both the horizontal connection web 3 and the two rods 13 .
  • This embodiment has the advantage over the embodiment C shown in FIG. 2 that the strip-shaped insert can be moved more easily.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate different views of a further embodiment of the invention.
  • the insert 6 is constructed as a wrapped-around strip in this case too.
  • the strip has a substantially U-shaped cross-section, so that the insert is also arranged against the lateral material webs 4 and so provides a certain amount of protection for these webs as well.
