Abstract

1. A container for receiving documents, wherein two container halves are adapted to limitedly swivel with respect to one another into a closed position and an open position about a horizontal hinge axis disposed in the base area, said container halves constituting shells with identical dimensions which when opened form an opening sector allowing access into the container, characterised in that in the upper region of their end face portions (11, 21) both container halves (1, 2) have projections (16, 26) which protrude in the manner of hooks over the surface of said portions, and locking members (14, 25) which limit the swivel of the container halves (1, 2) at least in the open position, in that one end face portion (21) of one container half (2) has a tab-like member (24) which protrudes in the plane of the end face portion (21) beyond the latter and slides between two vertical crosspieces (17, 17') of the other end face portion (11), and that the two container halves (1, 2) are completely identical parts.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter zur Aufnahme von Schriftgut der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebe­nen Gattung.The invention relates to a container for holding documents of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Behälter dieser Art, die zur Aufnahme von Hängeheftern, Hängemappen u.dgl. an den Stirnseitenteilen der schalen­förmig ausgebildeten Behälterhälften angeordnete Trag­schienen aufweisen, sind aus der DE-PS 28 07 241 der Anmelderin bekannt.Containers of this type, which are used to hold hanging files, hanging files and the like. have on the end face parts of the shell-shaped container halves arranged support rails are known from DE-PS 28 07 241 of the applicant.

Diesem bekannten Behälter gegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen lediglich zur losen aufnahme von Schriftgut bestimmten Behälter so zu gestalten, daß die Rastorgane zur Sicherung einer begrenzten öffnungs­stellung einstückig mit den Behälterhälften und so aus­gebildet sind, daß die Behälterhälften eine vollkommen gleiche Gestalt aufweisen und so mittels desselben Werk­zeugs hergestellt werden können.Compared to this known container, the object of the invention is to design a container intended only for the loose reception of documents in such a way that the latching elements for securing a limited open position are made in one piece with the container halves and are designed such that the container halves have a completely identical shape and can be made using the same tool.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung mit den im Kenn­zeichen des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Mitteln gelöst. Vor­teilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved according to the invention with the means specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfin­dung in schematischer Weise dargestellt. Es zeigen

  • Fig.1 eine Stirnseitenansicht des geöffneten Behälters;
  • Fig.2 eine Draufsicht auf die Innenseit einer Behälter­hälfte in Richtung des Pfeils II gesehen.
In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown in a schematic manner. Show it
  • 1 shows an end view of the opened container;
  • 2 shows a plan view of the inside of a container half in the direction of arrow II.

Der Behälter besteht aus zwei vollkommen gleichen, mit demselben Werkzeug herstellbaren, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigten schalenförmigen Hälften 1 und 2, an deren Stirnseitenteilen 11 und 21 über diese aus­kragende, als Griffschalen dienende Vorsprünge vorge­sehen sind, die durch einen geschlossenen Stehbord 16 bzw. 26 gebildet werden. An den einander gegenüberlie­genden Rändern der den Boden des Behälters bildenden Teile der Behälterhälften sind versetzt gegeneinander angeordnete ineinandergreifende Scharnierglieder ange­formt, die in an sich bekannter Weise als Hohlzylinder mit in Richtung der Scharnierachse um 180° gegeneinander versetzten Wandurchbrüchen ausgebildet sind. Durch die Scharnierglieder, von denen Fig. 2 die an der Behälter­hälfte 11 angeformten Scharnierglieder 13 zeigt, ist die Scharnierstange 3 hindurchgesteckt.The container consists of two completely identical, shell-shaped halves 1 and 2, which can be produced with the same tool, preferably made of plastic, on the end face parts 11 and 21 of which projecting projections serving as grip shells are provided, which are formed by a closed standing shelf 16 and 26, respectively will. On the opposite edges of the parts of the container halves forming the bottom of the container, mutually offset interlocking hinge members are formed, which are designed in a known manner as a hollow cylinder with wall openings offset by 180 ° in the direction of the hinge axis. The hinge rod 3 is inserted through the hinge members, of which FIG. 2 shows the hinge members 13 formed on the container half 11.

In Höhe des von dem Stehbord 26 umschlossenen Bereichs der Behälterhälfte 2 ist eine Zunge 24 angeformt, die an ihrem vorderen Ende einen seitlichen warzenartigen Vorsprung 25 trägt. Eine gleich ausgebildete Zunge ist an der anderen Behälterhälfte 1 an dem in Fig. 1 nicht sichtbaren Stirnseitenteil angeordnet, die in Fig. 1 strichpunktiert eingezeichnet ist. Die Zunge 24 ist in Nuten einer Kulisse 14 geführt, die eine Erweiterung 15 zur Bildung einer Rast aufweist. Um die Zunge 24 in die Kulisse 14 einführen zu können, weist ein Steg 17 an seinem vorderen Ende gegenüber der Rast 15 eine Aus­sparung auf. Die griffschalenartigen Vorsprünge 16,26 stehen bei dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungs­beispiel über die Oberkante der in Fig. 2 mit 12 bezeich­neten Breitseite der Behälterhälften über und sind dabei zur Abstützung über die Verlängerung 18 des Breitseiten­teils 12 mit diesem verbunden. Die Behälterhälften können jedoch auch so ausgebildet sein, daß die Vorsprünge 16 unterhalb der Oberkante der Breitseitenteile liegen. Sie dienen insbesondere dazu, den Schriftgutbehälter in einem Regal mit in gleicher Höhe befindlichen Trag­schienen oder in einem entsprechend ausgestatteten Zug eines Schreibtisches aufhängen zu können.At the level of the area of the container half 2 enclosed by the standing rim 26, a tongue 24 is formed, which carries a lateral wart-like projection 25 at its front end. A tongue of the same design is arranged on the other container half 1 on the end face part which is not visible in FIG. 1 and is shown in dash-dot lines in FIG. 1. The tongue 24 is guided in grooves of a backdrop 14, which has an extension 15 to form a rest. In order to be able to insert the tongue 24 into the setting 14, a web 17 has a recess at its front end opposite the catch 15. In the exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing, the grip-shell-like projections 16, 26 protrude beyond the upper edge of the broad side of the container halves designated by 12 in FIG. 2 and are connected to the latter by means of the extension 18 of the broad side part 12 for support. However, the container halves can also be designed so that the projections 16 lie below the upper edge of the broad side parts. They are used in particular to be able to hang the document container on a shelf with support rails at the same height or in a suitably equipped train of a desk.
