shell container

description

The invention relates to a tray container, in particular for electrical devices such as tablets, notebooks, pads, smartphones or the like.

State of the art

Shell containers in the form of shell cases, which are formed from two hard shells interconnected by a joint, are known. The upper and lower shell are usually connected by a zipper.

There are also case cases that have no joint, but the two shells are connected by a fabric insert, so that after opening the zipper or the upper part of the lower part can be folded away.

For storage or transportation of computers or the like. Cases are known for the computer and / or accessories such as cables, mice or the like. Velcro straps are arranged in the upper or lower shell, with which the individual parts can be attached. Furthermore, there are pockets, can be plugged into the individual accessories. For example, an EDP system case (DE 296 18 083 U1) is known, in which the means for holding the device are divided into two groups of holding means on the two shells of the case, so that in the one shell holding means for fixing the device are formed against displacement parallel to a plane as positioning and in the other shell holding means for fixing the device against displacement perpendicular to this plane are arranged as a locking means, the two holding means cooperate only when the case is closed.

A disadvantage of the known shell cases is that they are expensive to manufacture, since many individually sewn small parts such as pouches or plug-in sleeves, on each of which Velcro fasteners or the like are attached, are required in the interior to stow a secure hold for the individual To provide parts.

In addition, the closure option with zippers is cumbersome to open, possibly not waterproof and prone to cracking and snagging. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a tray container that allows easy positioning of tablets, PCs, smartphones and possibly their accessories in a transportable tray container and a simple and secure closing.

Disclosure of the invention

It is a tray container, in particular for the storage and transport of electrical equipment such as tablets, notebooks, pads, smartphones or the like. proposed

The bowl container has two shells, an upper and a lower shell. The two shells are connected by at least one hinge. The shells are in particular made of ABS [acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene] plastic or of aluminum, other metals, wood, wood-like materials, composites or other suitable materials and may have coatings on the outside, for example, made of leather, films, screen-finished or the like. are formed.

On the side edges of the upper or lower shell, a blow bar can be formed in each case, which can be inserted into a respective opposite groove, so that the shell container in the closed state has no openings and is safely protected against any shear forces acting.

The two shells each have an inner lining. The interior trim is for example made of ABS or other plastic, foam, wood or different wood-based materials or the like. educated. The inner lining can, for example, be screenprint finished, covered with fabric or covered with leather, printed by water transfer printing, screen printing or the like. be educated.

In the inner lining of the two shells subjects for holding various objects are introduced. These can be compartments for removable batteries,

Writing pads, business cards, connection cables or the like. be. In particular, the inner lining of a shell as a receptacle for a tablet, PC, Päd, smartphone or the like. formed and formed the inner lining of the opposite shell with receptacles for the above exemplified objects. As a receptacle for the electrical device is a resized recess in the inner lining. This depression has retaining tabs for the electrical device on one side. These holding leaves ensure a secure hold and prevent slipping of the device after insertion into the recess. Furthermore, at least one device display, for example for the electrical device such as the pedestal, can be arranged in the inner lining. These device displays can be made of plastic, wood, ceramic, aluminum, metal or any other suitable material. On the opposite side of the holding leaflets erector for the electrical device are formed according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention.
