Definitions

  • This invention is related with the locking system which provides foldable crates' edges are locked to eachother.
  • locks manufactured in respect of the prior art in order to fix edges on foldable crates provides locking usually with solid penetration method, opens with a hard hit on the edge.
  • lock may open and material in the crate is spilled.
  • solid penetration providing parts cannot perform locking function due to worning off in the course of time. Consequently, crate cannot be used for desired purpose.

  • FIG. 2 Perspective view of foldable crate (locked appearance)
  • FIG. 3 Cross section view of locking system
  • FIG. 4 Inner perspective view of locking system ( unlocked appearance)
  • FIG. 5 Outer perspective view of locking system (unlocked appearance)
  • FIG. 6 Inner perspective view of locking system ( locked appearance)
  • FIG. 7 Seg. 7 —Side view of locking system (motion appearance of short edge)
  • FIG. 8 Cross section view of locking system (motion appearance of short edge)
  • FIG. 9 Outer picture view of locking system (unlocked appearance)
  • FIG. 10 Inner picture view of locking system (unlocked appearance)
  • Main components (elements) of locking system for foldable crates developed with this invention compose;
  • Centralization indents ( 14 ) can either be in a square or rectangular prism or cylinderic or half sphere form. Centralization indents ( 14 ) can locate either on the short edge ( 3 ) or the long edge( 2 ).
  • Centralization ledges ( 15 ) can either be in a square or rectangular prism or cylinderic or half sphere form in order to fit in the centralization indents. Centralization ledges ( 15 ) can locate either on the long edge ( 3 ) or the short edge ( 2 ).
  • Centralization ledges ( 15 ) can locate either on both sides of male parts ( 4 ) or female parts ( 5 ). One of the centralization ledges ( 15 ) can locate on one side of male part ( 4 ), the other one can locate on the other side of female part ( 5 ). Centralization indents ( 14 ) are located opposite to centralization ledges ( 15 ).
  • Main function of centralization indents ( 14 ) and ledges ( 15 ) is to provide male ( 4 ) and female ( 5 ) part of the lock encounter during locking and unlocking. Thus, locking and unlocking process will be easy.
  • centralization indents ( 14 ) and ledges ( 15 ) Another function of centralization indents ( 14 ) and ledges ( 15 ) is to meet the load and prevent the lock from forcing, when edges are loaded after locking, during carrying or warehousing.
  • Base ( 6 ) and edge ( 7 ) of the male part ( 4 ) combine at the edge and side connection ( 11 ).
  • Combination at connection ( 11 ) can either be vertical edged, or convex or concave form in order to provide strengthening.
  • Female parts ( 5 ) of locking system for foldable crates developed with this invention compose,
  • Female part ( 5 ) edge ( 8 ) ledge ( 9 ), provides locking by fitting in the space ( 10 ) on the male part ( 4 ) edge( 7 ).
  • Centralization ledges ( 15 ) and indents ( 14 ) which helps locking, provides locking to be easy, prevent crate edges from stretching against loads during transportation and warehousing, and meets the load on the lock and thus prevents the lock from undesirable openings.
  • These indents ( 14 ) and ledges ( 15 ) prevents the lock from attrition and extends life-span at the same time.
  • Male parts ( 4 ) of locking system for foldable crates developed with this invention are located on two sides of the long edge ( 2 ) of the crate ( 1 ), preferably somewhere close close to the upper part.
  • Female parts ( 5 ) are on the short side ( 3 ) of the crate ( 1 ) located exact opposite of the male parts.
  • Centralization ledges ( 15 ) are located on and under the male parts ( 4 ). Centralization indents ( 14 ) are located on the short side ( 3 ) of the crate ( 1 ), exact opposite of the ledges ( 15 ).
  • Locking system for foldable crates developed with this invention can be applied in foldable crates ( 1 ) with different combination forms; where,
  • Crates, on which locking system for foldable crates developed with this invention is applied preferably are manufactured from polymer or polymer mixed plastic-based material and can be in any size.
  • locking can be provided by fitting male part ledge ( 16 ) into the female part ledge ( 17 ). This application is in the scope of the invention.
