Definitions
- the invention relates to a stackable container with a lid for food according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the object of the present invention is to create a novel, simple, safe and variably stackable and usable container.
- the stackable container designed according to the invention can be easily and variably stacked due to the selected outer surface profile of the bottom of the bottom and the top of the lid.
- This profiling provided according to the invention enables automatic engagement even when the containers are not stacked congruently.
- Containers of different sizes can be stacked.
- the containers designed according to the invention can be used in many different ways.
- the profiling according to the invention has the advantage that the containers in the stack crosswise to the profile, i.e. H. transversely to the wave crests and wave troughs, are blocked against displacements, but that they can be displaced in the direction of the profiling, so that they can be safely moved laterally downwards from the stack in this direction. they are
- ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS can therefore be used particularly well in dispensing machines and transport devices and in serving trolleys, for example for catering for passengers, for example on board aircraft; in the case of such serving trolleys, the previously customary lateral slide-in strips or shelves for accommodating conventional containers for on-board catering can be dispensed with.
- the dimensions of the container according to the invention are no longer dependent on the standard dimensions of such trolleys. In principle, therefore, only one tool size is required to manufacture the containers.
- the serving trolleys can be made smaller and thus lighter and can accommodate significantly more containers than previous serving trolleys. If an uneven profile is provided, a targeted arrangement of the containers in the stack can be achieved.
- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a stackable container designed according to the invention in a perspective top view
- FIG. 2 shows the container according to FIG. 1 in a perspective view
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show a section through two stacked containers according to FIGS. 1 and 2,
- K shows a second embodiment of a stackable container designed according to the invention in a perspective view from above
- Fig. 5 shows the container of FIG. 1 in a perspective bottom view
- Fig. 6 two stacked containers after the 4 and 5 in an exploded view.
- FIGS. 1 to 3 The drawing shows in FIGS. 1 to 3 a container 2 with a lower part 4 and a cover 6.
- the container 2 is essentially rectangular in shape with an outwardly curved side 8.
- the container can have any other shape, for example it can be rectangular, round, oval, triangular, polygonal, etc.
- the outside bottom surface 9 of the bottom 10 or the bottom itself of the lower part 4 and the outside lid surface 11 of the lid 6 or the upper lid wall 12 have the same, but complementary corrugated profiles 13, such that in the stack wave crests 14 of the bottom of the lower part 4 and troughs 16 of the cover 6 and crests 18 of the cover and troughs 20 of the bottom of the underside.
- the wave profiling 14, 18, 16, 20 runs parallel to one of the straight sides 22 of the container 2 or obliquely to one of the sides of the lower part 4 or the cover 6.
- the surface or wave profiling 13 preferably consists, as shown, of successive wave crests and wave troughs which are round in cross section.
- the surface profiling can also consist of triangular, tooth-like or rectangular, cross-sectionally trapezoidal or similar symmetrical or asymmetrical wave crests and wave troughs
- Fig. 3 shows in section two stacked containers 2 and 2 'of the same dimensions.
- FIGS. 4 to 6 show a container 30, 30 'with a lower part 32 and a lid 34 in a rectangular shape.
- the container can also have any other suitable shape already mentioned for the container according to FIGS. 1 to 3.
- the bottom 36 of the lower part 32 of the container has a profile in the form of a rectangular base or foot 38 and the cover 34 has a profile in the form of an upper-side, complementary rectangular recess 40 with two open opposite sides 42 and 44 and two opposite walls 46 and 48 to receive the base or foot 38 of the bottom of the container.
- the base or foot can also be designed as an elevation on the lid surface and the recess in the underside of the base.
- the recess and the base or foot ensure secure stacking of the containers and at the same time the possibility of displacing the containers relative to one another in the direction of the recess walls 46, 48, which at the same time act as a lateral guide.
- Another advantage is that containers of different sizes can be stacked when the bottom and the lid Although the container having k omplementäre but equal profiles.
