Abstract

The invention relates to a container, i.e. a standardised transport container, with a bottom surface (10) and a cover (18) removable from the bottom surface (10) and forming the two side surfaces (12), the two faces (14) and the roof surface (16). The cover (18) is constructed in one piece. Four uprights (20) extending at right angles to the bottom are provided in the corners of the container, and the upper ends of said uprights have a structure (22) fitted with cargo handling gear. The uprights (20) are rigidly connected to the bottom surface (10), and an engaging device is provided in the upper region of said uprights for locking the uprights (20) to the cover (18) and unlocking them therefrom. Alternatively, the uprights (20) are rigidly connected to the cover (18), and an engaging device in the lower region of the uprights (20) locks the uprights (20) to the bottom surface (10) and unlocks them therefrom.

Description

ContainerContainer
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Container, d. h. einen normier¬ ten Transportbehälter, mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs der nebengeordneten Ansprüche 1 und 3.The invention relates to a container, i. H. a standardized transport container with the features of the preamble of the independent claims 1 and 3.
Dieser aus der DE 33 00 354 AI bekannte Container hat den Vorteil, daß er bei Verschieben der Haube einen seitlichen Zugang zu dem Transportgut erlaubt. Ein Ergreifen des Con¬ tainers mit einem von oben angreifenden Ladegeschirr ist nicht möglich.This container known from DE 33 00 354 AI has the advantage that it allows lateral access to the cargo when the hood is moved. It is not possible for the container to be gripped with a loading tackle attacking from above.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen mit einem von einem von oben angreifenden Ladegeschirr tragbaren Con¬ tainer zu schaffen, der mit einer abnehmbaren Haube versehen ist.The object of the invention is to create a container which can be carried by a charging device which is attacking from above and which is provided with a removable hood.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einem ersten Ausfüh¬ rungsbeispiel durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst, bei einem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel durch die Merkmale des An¬ spruchs 3. Die Unteransprüche geben vorteilhafte Ausgestal¬ tungen der Erfindung an.According to the invention, this object is achieved in a first embodiment by the features of claim 1, in a second embodiment by the features of claim 3. The subclaims indicate advantageous embodiments of the invention.
Bei beiden Ausführungsbeispielen wird bei einem Anheben des Containers mittels eines von oben angreifenden Ladegeschirrs die Kraft über die Holme auf die Last tragende Bodenfläche aufgebracht, so daß die Haube selbst nicht belastet wird.In both exemplary embodiments, when the container is lifted by means of a loading gear attacking from above, the force is applied to the load-bearing floor surface via the spars, so that the hood itself is not loaded.
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand einer Zeichnung er¬ läutert. Dabei- zeigt:The invention is explained below with reference to a drawing. Here- shows:
Figur 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht des Containers bei aufgesetzter Haube,FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the container with the hood attached,
ERSATZBLÄΪ7(REGEL26) Figur 2 eine perspektivische Ansicht des Containers bei abgehobener Haube,ERSATZBLÄΪ7 (REGEL26) FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the container with the hood raised,
Figur 3 eine perspektivische Ansicht der Bodenfläche, der auf diesen aufsitzenden Holme und des Entriegelungs-Gestängea, undFigure 3 is a perspective view of the bottom surface, the spars seated thereon and the unlocking linkage, and
Figur 4 eine Figur 3 entsprechende perspektivische Ansicht eines alternativen Ausführungsbei¬ spiels.FIG. 4 shows a perspective view corresponding to FIG. 3 of an alternative exemplary embodiment.
Der in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigte Container besteht aus einer Bodenfläche 10 und einer auf diese aufzusetzenden Haube 18, die die Seitenflächen 12, die Stirnflächen 14 und die Dachfläche 16 ausbildet. Die Bodenfläche 10 trägt im Be¬ reich ihrer Ecken senkrecht auf diese aufgesetzte, als Win¬ kelprofil ausgebildete Holme 20, die zur Versteifung des Containers dienen. Die oberen Enden der Holme 20 sind mit einer Struktur 22 versehen, in die die Greifer eines - nicht gezeigten - Ladegeschirrs eingreifen, wenn der Container an¬ gehoben werden soll.The container shown in Figures 1 and 2 consists of a bottom surface 10 and a hood 18 to be placed thereon, which forms the side surfaces 12, the end surfaces 14 and the roof surface 16. The bottom surface 10 carries in the area of its corners perpendicularly to these, which are designed as an angular profile and which serve to stiffen the container. The upper ends of the spars 20 are provided with a structure 22 into which the grippers of a loading gear (not shown) engage when the container is to be lifted.
Figur 3 zeigt, daß bei dem in den Figuren 1 bis 3 darge¬ stellten ersten Ausführungsbeipiel die oberen Enden der Hol¬ me 20 mit einem (fest mit der - nicht dargestellten - Haube verbundenen) Entriegelungsgestänge 24 zusammenwirken. Dieses Entriegelungsgestänge 24 dient dazu, über ein - nicht darge¬ stelltes - Ladegeschirr wahlweise - bei Verriegelung des Ge¬ stänges 24 in den oberen Enden der Holme 20 - den ganzen Container anzuheben oder aber - bei Entriegelung des Gestän¬ ges 24 durch manuelle Betätigung des Umstellhebels 26 - lediglich die Haube 18 abzuheben, wodurch die Bodenfläche 16 des Containers von allen Seiten frei zugänglich wird. Das Entriegelungsgestänge 24 ist dabei so ausgebildet, daß die¬ ses bei Nichtbetätigung des Umstellhebels 26 eine Verriege-FIG. 3 shows that in the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the upper ends of the bars 20 interact with an unlocking linkage 24 (firmly connected to the hood (not shown)). This unlocking linkage 24 is used to lift the entire container via a loading device (not shown) optionally — when the linkage 24 is locked in the upper ends of the spars 20 — or — when the linkage 24 is unlocked by manual actuation of the Change-over lever 26 - only lift off the hood 18, as a result of which the bottom surface 16 of the container is freely accessible from all sides. The unlocking linkage 24 is designed in such a way that when the changeover lever 26 is not actuated, a locking mechanism
ERSATZBLÄTT(REGEL26) lung der Haube 18 mit den Holmen 20 bewirkt, die nur durch und während einer Betätigung des Umstellebels 26 aufgehoben wird.SPARE BLADE (RULE 26) development of the hood 18 with the spars 20, which is lifted only by and during an actuation of the change-over lever 26.
Bei dem in Figur 4 dargestellten zweiten Ausführungsbeipiel sind die Holme 20 fest mit der Haube 18 verbunden. Die unte¬ ren Enden der Holme 20 wirken mit einem im Bereich der Bo¬ denfläche 10 angeordneten Entriegelungsgestänge 24 zusammen. Das Entriegelungsgestänge 24 erlaubt es bei diesem Ausfüh¬ rungsbeispiel, die Holme 20 aus dem mit der Bodenfläche 10 verriegelten Zustand, in dem der ganze Container bei Einsatz eines - nicht dargestell- ten - Ladegeschirrs - im oberen Bereich der Holme 20 angehoben werden kann, zu entriegeln, wodurch das Ladegeschirr lediglich die Haube 18 mitsamt den Holmen 20 abhebt und die Bodenfläche 10 des Containers von allen Seiten frei zugänglich macht.In the second exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the spars 20 are firmly connected to the hood 18. The lower ends of the bars 20 interact with an unlocking linkage 24 arranged in the region of the floor surface 10. In this exemplary embodiment, the unlocking linkage 24 allows the bars 20 to be lifted from the state locked with the bottom surface 10, in which the entire container can be lifted in the upper region of the bars 20 when using a loading gear (not shown) unlock, whereby the loading gear only lifts the hood 18 together with the spars 20 and makes the bottom surface 10 of the container freely accessible from all sides.
