Definitions

• the invention relates to a pocket or case-like container of the type mentioned in the preamble of protection claim 1.
• a large number of pocket-like or suitcase-like containers with different shapes, closure devices and carrying devices are known. If these bag-like or suitcase-like containers consist of two identical or also different container parts, they usually have closure devices on their surface facing the carrying device, which can have the form of locks, buckles or the like. Since these closure devices are visible from the outside, they must be designed in a corresponding manner, which in many cases requires compromises in their function. Since the closure devices are still mostly arranged on the upper edge when worn, additional pockets on the outside of the container may be required if it is desired to have a convenient insertion facility for any items that are to be easily accessible.
• the invention has for its object to provide a bag or case-like container of the type mentioned, which has an aesthetic appearance with the simple structure due to the elimination of externally visible closure devices.
• the engaging parts are arranged between the side parts of the container, so that they are not externally visible.
• the carrying device can at the same time form the actuating device for these closure devices, wherein in the carrying position the carrying device automatically locks the two container parts to one another.
• the Trageinrichtimg is formed by a belt or the like surrounding the side parts and also between the end faces lying between these, which is connected to the engagement parts, so that a displacement of the belt relative to the container causes either an unlocking or a locking of the engagement parts.
• FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the container in a perspective view
• FIG. 2 is a winding of the container according to FIG. 1 in the open state
• FIG. 2a is a sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG. 2,
• FIG. 3 is a partial view corresponding to FIG. 2, showing a modified embodiment of the engagement parts
• 3a is a sectional view taken along the line III-III of FIG. 3,
• 3b is a sectional view taken along the line IV-IV of FIG. 3rd
• the embodiment of the container shown in FIG. 1 has a lower container part and an upper container part 3 in the illustration according to FIG. 1, which are provided with side parts 21 and 31 in particular according to the development according to FIG. 2.
• the side parts 21 of the lower container part 2 extend over the entire height of the container 1, while the side parts 31 of the upper container part 3 extend movably over a part of this height of the container.
• the respective side parts 21, 31 are provided with engagement parts 22, 32, which in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 are formed by a hook 22 which can be displaced in the side part 21.
• This hook 22 is displaceable in a groove 23 in the side part 21.
• the hook 22 is fastened on a fastening part 25 which is displaceable in a channel formed between the side part 21 and a cover plate 24, this displacement being able to be brought about by means of a belt 40, which will be explained in more detail.
• the cover plate 24 can be arranged both in the manner shown in FIG. 2a on the outside of the side part 21 and on the inside thereof, the groove 23 being formed in the cover plate 24 in the latter case.
• the engagement part of the container part 3 is formed by a narrowing groove 32, which allows the free passage of the hook 22 at its widest area, while this hook 22 is securely locked in the recessed area of the groove 32.
• the actuation of the hook 22 in its guide groove 23 takes place with the aid of a belt 40, on which this hook is only schematically shown in FIG. 1 Fastening part 25 shown is attached, which can have any shape.
• the belt 40 is also displaceable in the channel formed between the side part 21 and the cover plate 24, this belt preferably being circumferential, that is to say it extends completely around the container according to FIG. 1.
• the side parts 31 are stiffened and are connected at right angles to a likewise stiffened region 35 according to FIG. 2, this region 35 covering the top wall of the container according to FIG. 1 forms.
• the side parts 21 of the lower container part can still be folded down and laid flat after unlocking the engaging parts, which is advantageous in many cases with regard to the handling of the container.
• the sections of the container connecting the bottom surface 25 to the top surface 35 of the container, for example the regions 50, 51, 52, 53 according to FIG. 2 can be both rigid and deformable, depending on the application, and they can be placed on top of one another to close the container, for example sections 50 and 53 can cover objects arranged in the container parts before the container is closed.
• hooks 60 are fastened to the side parts 31, while an engagement part 61 with an open slot 62 is arranged on the side parts 21, which also tapers, this engagement part in the state in which it is in contact with one another Side parts 21, 31 can in turn be moved in a channel between the side part 21 and the cover plate 24 in order to lock the engagement part 61 with the hook 60.
• the actuating device for the engagement part 61 can in turn be formed by a circumferential belt 40 as in FIG. 1.
• a support bracket can be arranged on the right-hand end face of the container in FIG. 1 about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the side parts.
• This support bracket can engage with the sliders via a corresponding lever or eccentric arrangement in order to move the movable engagement parts into the released or unlocked position in the folded-down position, while these engagement parts are locked together when the support bracket is moved into the support position.
• This bracket can not be folded but can be moved in the direction of movement of the slide, so that it causes an unlocking of the engaging parts in the inserted state and a locking of the engaging parts in the pulled-out state.
