Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Transport-, Lager- und Stapelvorrichtung, bestehend aus einem Rahmen und einem in den Rahmen eingehängten oder auf dem Rahmen aufgesetzten Einsatz für die Aufnahme des Transport- und Stapelgutes.The invention relates to a transport, storage and stacking device, consisting of a frame and an insert suspended in the frame or placed on the frame for receiving the goods to be transported and stacked.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist als Werkstückträger bekannt geworden und dient für den innerbetrieblichen Transport von Montageteilen, aber auch für den Transport solcher Teile vom Herstellungswerk in das Montagewerk. Insbesondere werden derartige Werkstückträger benutzt, um Werkstücke zu automatisch beschickten Montagemaschinen zuzuführen. Die Anordnung der Werkstücke auf der Platte und die Zentrierung dieser Werkstücke durch Vorsprünge und/oder Vertiefungen ermöglicht ein automatisiertes Handling, aber auch einen sicheren Transport, bei dem sich die einzelnen Werkstücke nicht berühren.Such a device has become known as a workpiece carrier and is used for the internal transport of assembly parts, but also for the transport of such parts from the manufacturing plant to the assembly plant. In particular, workpiece carriers of this type are used to feed workpieces to automatically loaded assembly machines. The arrangement of the workpieces on the plate and the centering of these workpieces by means of projections and / or depressions enables automated handling, but also safe transport, in which the individual workpieces do not touch.

Bisher werden diese Werkstückträger aus Metall hergestellt. Auf einen aus Blechprofilen hergestellten Rahmen werden dabei Bleche aufgesetzt und z.B. durch Schrauben mit dem Rahmen verbunden. Diese Bleche weisen Durchbrüche, Vertiefungen oder Erhöhungen oder in Löcher eingesetzte Bolzen für die Halterung der Werkstücke auf. Anstelle der Bleche oder zusammen mit den Blechen können auch aus Blech geformte und mit Ausklinkungen versehene Profilschienen der Halterung von Werkstücken auf diesem Werkstückträger dienen.So far, these workpiece carriers have been made of metal. On a frame made of sheet metal profiles metal sheets are put on and connected to the frame by screws, for example. These sheets have openings, depressions or elevations or bolts inserted into holes for holding the workpieces. Instead of the sheets or together with the sheets, profiled rails formed from sheet metal and provided with notches can also be used to hold workpieces on this workpiece carrier.

Die Herstellung dieses Werkstückträgers ist aufwendig und teuer. Denn die Verformung der Bleche erfordert schwere Pressen und teuere Werkzeuge, das Befestigten von Haltebolzen auf den Blechen erfordert Handarbeit, ebenso das Ansetzen der Füße am Rahmen. Ökonomisch vorteilhaft sind diese Werkstückträger innerbetrieblich einsetzbar, auch im Verkehr zwischen einem oder mehreren inländischen Betriebsstätten. Für den Versand von Werkstücken zu im Ausland befindlichen Montagewerken eignen sie sich wegen ihres hohen Gewichtes und der Notwendigkeit eines Rücktransportes wegen ihres hohen Preises nur in beschränktem Umfang.The manufacture of this workpiece carrier is complex and expensive. Because the deformation of the sheet metal requires heavy presses and expensive tools, the fastening of retaining bolts on the sheet metal requires manual work, as does the placing of the feet on the frame. These workpiece carriers can be used economically, even in traffic between one or more domestic operating locations. They are only suitable to a limited extent for the dispatch of workpieces to assembly plants located abroad because of their high weight and the necessity of return transport because of their high price.

Die Erfindung vermeidet die Nachteile des Standes der Technik. Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen leichten und leicht herstellbaren Werkstückträger zu schaffen, der für eine Handhabung mit Robotern geeignet ist, dessen Teile für den Leertransport ineinandergeschachtelt werden können, sich jedoch auch so billig herstellen lassen, daß sie nach einer Benutzung weggeworfen werden können, wenn der Rücktransport zu teuer ist.The invention avoids the disadvantages of the prior art. It is the object of the invention to provide a light and easily producible workpiece carrier which is suitable for handling with robots, the parts of which can be nested for empty transport, but which can also be produced so cheaply that they can be thrown away after use if the return transport is too expensive.

Die Erfindung besteht darin, daß der Rahmen als Spritzgießteil aus Kunststoff hergestellt ist, nach außen gerichtete Rippen aufweist, nach oben gerichtete Vorsprünge trägt, die durch im Einsatz eingeformte Ausnehmungen hindurchgreifen, und korrespondierend zu den nach oben gerichteten Vorsprüngen an der Unterseite des Rahmens Ausnehmungen aufweist, in die nach oben gerichtete Vorsprünge eines darunter gestapelten Rahmens eingreifen.The invention is that the frame as an injection molded part is made of plastic, has outward-facing ribs, carries upward projections that reach through recesses formed in the insert, and corresponding to the upward projections on the underside of the frame has recesses into which upward projections one stacked below Engage the frame.

Diese Transport-, Lager- und Stapelvorrichtung, deren Rahmen durch ein Spritzgießteil gebildet ist, ist durch einen einfachen Produktionsvorgang und in großen Stückzahlen außerordentlich preiswert herstellbar, zumal der Einsatz ebenfalls als Kunststofformteil hergestellt werden kann, und zwar als Tiefziehteil aus Kunststofffolie oder bei großen Stückzahlen ebenfalls als Spritzgießteil. In dieser Transport-, Lager- und Stapelvorrichtung liegt die Ware sehr gut geschützt, selbst dann, wenn der Einsatz lediglich aus dünner Kunststoffolie hergestellt ist. Dabei sind die aus Rahmen und Einsatz gebildeten Einheiten in hohen Stapeln übereinander stapelbar, die einzelnen Einheiten zentrieren sich beim Stapeln derart, daß ein Verschieben einzelner Einheiten nicht möglich ist, so daß diese Stapel sehr sicher stehen. Durch die nach außen gerichteten Rippen und die hohe Stabilität des Rahmens ist ein automatisiertes Handling dieser Einheiten gut durchführbar.This transport, storage and stacking device, the frame of which is formed by an injection molded part, can be manufactured extremely inexpensively by a simple production process and in large numbers, especially since the insert can also be produced as a molded plastic part, namely as a deep-drawn part made of plastic film or in large quantities also as an injection molded part. The goods are very well protected in this transport, storage and stacking device, even if the insert is only made of thin plastic film. The units formed from the frame and insert can be stacked one on top of the other in high stacks; the individual units are centered during stacking in such a way that individual units cannot be moved, so that these stacks are very secure. Thanks to the outward-facing ribs and the high stability of the frame, automated handling of these units is easy to carry out.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn an mindestens zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Rahmens je zwei von Rippen eingeschlossene Felder vorgesehen sind, deren seitliche Rippen schräg nach oben aufeinander zu verlaufen und an ihrem oberen Ende in einen nach unten gerichteten leistenförmigen Vorsprung auslaufen, der (einen Hintergriff bildend) sich vom oberen Kastenrand oder von einer zu diesem parallel verlaufenden Rippe nach unten erstreckt. Diese Ausbildung erleichtert ein manuelles Anfassen, ermöglicht aber auch ein automatisiertes Handling mit solchen Maschinen oder Robotern, deren Greifer in griffartig ausgebildete Mulden eingreifen.It is advantageous if there are two fields enclosed by ribs on at least two opposite sides of the frame, the lateral ribs of which run obliquely upwards towards one another terminate at their upper end in a downward strip-shaped projection which (forming a rear grip) extends downward from the upper edge of the box or from a rib running parallel to it. This design facilitates manual handling, but also enables automated handling with such machines or robots, the grippers of which engage in recesses designed in the manner of handles.

Für dieses automatisierte Handling und für das Herausnehmen der einzelnen Transportgüter aus dem Einsatz ist es zweckmäßig, wenn an mindestens einer Außenseite des Rahmens zwei Öffnungen für das Einstecken von Indexierstiften vorgesehen sind. Diese Öffnungen werden zweckmäßigerweise so ausgebildet, daß die Öffnung durch den Innenraum eines Kreisringes gebildet ist, welcher eine Rippe des Rahmens unterbrechend in diese eingeformt ist.For this automated handling and for removing the individual transport goods from use, it is expedient if two openings are provided on at least one outside of the frame for the insertion of indexing pins. These openings are expediently designed such that the opening is formed by the interior of a circular ring which is intermittently molded into a rib of the frame.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft für ein automatisiertes Handling, wenn in der Oberfläche des oberen Randes, vorzugsweise in den Ecken, Öffnungen für das Einstecken von Positionierstiften eingeformt sind.Furthermore, it is advantageous for automated handling if openings for the insertion of positioning pins are formed in the surface of the upper edge, preferably in the corners.

Diese Anordnung von Rippen an der Außenseite der Transport-, Lager- und Stapelvorrichtung macht es vorteilhaft, wenn an den Längsseiten und/oder Schmalseiten des Rahmens Kodierfelder diagonal gegenüberliegend angebracht sind. Diese liegen dann zwischen den Rippen geschützt und sind durch ihre Anordnung in einer bestimmten Entfernung von der Ecke auch mit Lesemaschinen lesbar.This arrangement of ribs on the outside of the transport, storage and stacking device makes it advantageous if coding fields are attached diagonally opposite one another on the long sides and / or narrow sides of the frame. These are then protected between the ribs and, thanks to their arrangement at a certain distance from the corner, can also be read by reading machines.

Damit die aus Rahmen und Einsatz bestehenden Einheiten auch mit Gabeln einer Transportvorrichtung angehoben, transportiert und wieder abgesetzt werden können, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn parallel zu den Rippen am oberen und am unteren Rand mindestens eine weitere Rippe vorgesehen ist und wenn die senkrecht zu diesen Rippen verlaufenden Vertikalrippen zwischen der Mittelrippe und der unteren Randrippe eine geringere Tiefe als zwischen der Mittelrippe und der oberen Randrippe aufweisen, wobei die Mittelrippe vorzugsweise tiefer als zumindest die eine Randrippe ist. Durch diese Ausbildung der Außenseite des Rahmens ist zumindest an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Rahmens ein nach außen vorspringender Absatz gebildet, unter den die Gabel der Transportvorrichtung greifen kann.The units consisting of frame and insert can also be lifted, transported and put down again with forks of a transport device, it is expedient if at least one further rib is provided parallel to the ribs at the upper and lower edges and if the vertical ribs running perpendicular to these ribs between the central rib and the lower one Edge rib have a smaller depth than between the middle rib and the upper edge rib, wherein the middle rib is preferably deeper than at least one edge rib. This configuration of the outside of the frame forms an outwardly projecting shoulder at least on two opposite sides of the frame, under which the fork of the transport device can reach.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Einsatz aus einer Tiefziehfolie gefertigt ist und einen vorzugsweise im wesentlichen bodenparallelen Rand aufweist, welcher Öffnungen für den Durchtritt von Vorsprüngen am oberen Rahmenrand aufweist und/oder an seinem Umfang nach unten zu abgebogen ist. Derartige Einsätze lassen sich leicht und sehr preiswert herstellen, sie sind oft so billig, daß sich ein Rücktransport über weitere Entfernungen oder eine Reinigung nach der Benutzung nicht lohnen, so daß dieser Einsatz nach Gebrauch fortgeworfen wird.It is advantageous if the insert is made from a deep-drawn film and preferably has an edge which is essentially parallel to the floor and which has openings for the passage of projections on the upper edge of the frame and / or is bent downward at its periphery. Such inserts can be produced easily and very inexpensively, they are often so cheap that it is not worthwhile to transport them back over longer distances or to clean them after use, so that the insert is discarded after use.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Einsatz abgestufte Seitenwände aufweist, durch die die Innenabmessungen des Einsatzes am oberen Rand größer als die Außenabmessungen des Einsatzes im Bodenbereich sind. Derartige Einsätze lassen sich verrutschungsfest übereinander stapeln, ohne daß die Einsätze ineinander rutschen.It is advantageous if the insert has stepped side walls through which the inside dimensions of the insert at the upper edge are larger than the outside dimensions of the insert in the bottom area. Such inserts can be stacked on top of one another in a slip-resistant manner without the inserts sliding into one another.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Einsatz pyramidenstumpfförmig angeordnete Seitenwände aufweist, so daß die Einsätze ineinander für den Leertransport stapelbar sind und somit während des Leertransportes sehr wenig Raum einnehmen.It when the insert is truncated pyramid is particularly advantageous has arranged side walls so that the inserts can be stacked one inside the other for the empty transport and thus take up very little space during the empty transport.

Dabei kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn der Einsatz als nach dem Drehstapelprinzip auf- und ineinander stapelbarer Behälter gestaltet ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist es möglich, die Einsätze im Leertransport ineinander zu stapeln, so daß sie sehr wenig Platz einnehmen, nach einer Beladung jedoch auch nach einer Drehung um 90° oder 180° übereinander zu stapeln, so weit das die Festigkeit des Materials, aus dem der Einsatz hergestellt ist, zuläßt. Damit der Einsatz verrutschungsfest im Rahmen sitzt und sich mit seinen Seitenwänden an den Innenwänden des Rahmens gut abstützen kann, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Innenwand des Rahmens dort Ausnehmungen oder Ausbuchtungen aufweist, wo die Seitenwände des Einsatzes entsprechend Ausbuchtungen haben.It can be advantageous if the insert is designed as a container that can be stacked and stacked on one another according to the rotary stacking principle. In this embodiment, it is possible to stack the inserts in the empty transport, so that they take up very little space, but after loading, they can also be stacked after rotation by 90 ° or 180 °, as far as the strength of the material is concerned to which the insert is made. So that the insert sits securely in the frame and can be well supported with its side walls on the inner walls of the frame, it is advantageous if the inner wall of the frame has recesses or bulges where the side walls of the insert have corresponding bulges.

Der Einsatz läßt sich nicht nur aus Tiefziehfolie herstellen, es kann in vielen Fällen auch zweckmäßig sein, ihn als Spritzgußteil herzustellen. Hierbei ist es zweckmäßig, wenn er an seiner Außenwandung neben bodenparallelen auch senkrecht hierzu verlaufende Rippen aufweist, welche an der Innenwand des Rahmens anliegen und sich unter diejenige bodenparallele Rippe erstrecken, die auf der Oberkante des Rahmens aufliegt, wobei in der Oberkante des Rahmens zweckmäßigerweise Ausnehmungen für die Aufnahme dieser Rippen angeordnet sind.The insert can not only be made from thermoformed film, in many cases it can also be expedient to produce it as an injection molded part. It is expedient here if it has ribs on its outer wall in addition to parallel to the floor and also perpendicular to it, which abut the inner wall of the frame and extend under that rib parallel to the floor that rests on the upper edge of the frame, with recesses expediently in the upper edge of the frame are arranged to accommodate these ribs.

Während ein als Kunststoffolien-Tiefziehteil ausgebildeter Einsatz immer mit seinem oberen äußeren Rand auf dem Rahmen aufliegt, kann es bei einem als Spritzgußteil hergestellten Einsatz zweckmäßig sein, wenn die auf der Oberkante des Rahmens liegende Rippe des Einsatzes zwischen der Rippe an der Oberkante und der Rippe an der Unterkante, also in einem mittleren Bereich, angeordnet ist. Dann steht bei einem auf den Boden gestellten Rahmen der Boden des Einsatzes immer über dem Boden und die Oberkante des Einsatzes reicht über den Rahmen hinaus, so daß man, wenn man den Einsatz aus dem Rahmen herausnehmen will, diesen Einsatz leichter anfassen kann.While a trained as a plastic film deep-drawn part Insert always rests with its upper outer edge on the frame, it can be useful in an insert manufactured as an injection molded part if the rib of the insert lying on the upper edge of the frame between the rib on the upper edge and the rib on the lower edge, i.e. in one middle area. Then, in the case of a frame placed on the floor, the bottom of the insert is always above the floor and the upper edge of the insert extends beyond the frame, so that if one wants to remove the insert from the frame, this insert can be handled more easily.

Es kann vorteilhaft sein, am Rahmen und/oder am Einsatz Rasten, Klinken, Vorsprünge oder dergleichen anzuordnen, mit denen der Einsatz am Rahmen fixierbar ist.It can be advantageous to arrange catches, pawls, projections or the like on the frame and / or on the insert, with which the insert can be fixed on the frame.

Damit für den Leertransport nicht nur die Einsätze ineinander stapelbar sind, sondern auch die Rahmen ineinander stapelbar sind, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Breite der Schmalseite des Rahmens - außen gemessen - kleiner oder fast gleich der Breite der Längsseite des Rahmens - innen gemessen - ist.So that not only the inserts can be stacked one inside the other for empty transport, but also the frames can be stacked one inside the other, it is expedient if the width of the narrow side of the frame - measured on the outside - is smaller or almost equal to the width of the long side of the frame - measured on the inside .

Der Rahmen dieser Transport-, Lager- und Stapelvorrichtung weist eine Wand 1 auf, von der aus nach außensich Rippen erstrecken, die einstückig angeformt sind, und zwar die obere Randrippe 2, die untere Randrippe 3 sowie eine Mittelrippe 4. Senkrecht zu diesen horizontal verlaufenden Rippen sind mehrere, ebenfalls einstückig mit der Wand und den übrigen Rippen hergestellte Vertikalrippen 5 vorgesehen. Einige der Vertikalrippen 5 sind in ihrem geradlinigen Verlauf durch einen Kreisring 11 unterbrochen, welcher eine Öffnung6 für das Eingreifen von Indexierstiften umschließt. In einem von einer oberen Randrippe 2, der Mittelrippe 4 und zwei Vertikalrippen 5 umschlossenen Feld 12 sind Schrägrippen 7 angeordnet, die bis zur oberen Randrippe 2 verlaufen und zwischen sich einen von der Vorderkante der oberen Randrippe 2 ausgehenden, nach unten gerichteten Vorsprung zwischen sich einschließen. Hierdurch wird eine Griffmulde zwischen den beiden Schrägrippen 7, der Innenwand 1, der oberen Randrippe 2 und dem nach unten gerichteten Vorsprung gebildet. In diese Griffmulde können die Greifer eines Stablers eingreifen, sie werden durch die schrägen Rippen 7 auf eine bestimmte Stelle positioniert bzw. zentriert, so daß der Rahmen durch einen automatisiert arbeitenden Stabler mit hoher Genauigkeit an einen vorgesehenen Ort gestellt werden kann.The frame of this transport, storage and stacking device has a wall 1, from which ribs extend outwards, which are formed in one piece, namely the upper edge rib 2, the lower edge rib 3 and a central rib 4. Vertical to these, running horizontally Ribs are several vertical ribs 5, also made in one piece with the wall and the other ribs. Some of the vertical ribs 5 are interrupted in their rectilinear course by a circular ring 11 which has an opening 6 for engaging surrounded by indexing pins. In a field 12 enclosed by an upper edge rib 2, the middle rib 4 and two vertical ribs 5, oblique ribs 7 are arranged which extend up to the upper edge rib 2 and between them enclose a downward projection starting from the front edge of the upper edge rib 2 . As a result, a recessed grip is formed between the two inclined ribs 7, the inner wall 1, the upper edge rib 2 and the downward projection. In this recessed grip, the grippers of a rod can engage, they are positioned or centered on a certain point by the oblique ribs 7, so that the frame can be placed in an intended location with high accuracy by an automated rod holder.

In einem anderen Feld 13 zwischen Rippen 2, 4, 5 ist ein Kodierfeld 14 vorgesehen, in bzw. auf das Aufkleber oder Etiketten aufgeklebt werden können. Diese befinden sich an dieser Stelle in einer durch die Rippen 2,4,5 sehr geschützten Lage.In another field 13 between ribs 2, 4, 5, a coding field 14 is provided, in or on which stickers or labels can be glued. At this point they are in a position that is very protected by the ribs 2, 4, 5.

Von der oberen Randrippe 2 aus erstrecken sich fluchted mit der Wand 1 des Rahmens Vorsprünge 9 nach oben. Diese dienen einerseits der Halterung von Einsätzen 15, die Ausnehmungen 16 aufweisen, durch die sich die Vorsprünge 9 hindurch erstrecken. Andererseits dienen die Vorsprünge 9 auch der Zentrierung übereinander gestapelter Rahmen: am unteren Ende der unteren Randrippe 3 befindet sich ein nach außen gerichteter Versprung 17 in der Wand 1, wodurch eine Ausnehmung 18 gebildet ist, in die der Vorsprung 9 eines darunter gestapelten Kasten eingreift.From the upper edge rib 2, projections 9 extend flush with the wall 1 of the frame. On the one hand, these serve to hold inserts 15 which have recesses 16 through which the projections 9 extend. On the other hand, the projections 9 also serve to center frames stacked one above the other: at the lower end of the lower edge rib 3 there is an outward projection 17 in the wall 1, as a result of which a recess 18 is formed into which the projection 9 stacked one below Box engages.

Die Vertikalrippen 5 weisen nicht überall die gleiche Tiefe auf: Im oberen Bereich zwischen der oberen Randrippe 2 und der Mittelrippe 4 weist der Teil 5A der Vertikalrippe 5 eine größere Tiefe auf als im unteren Bereich zwischen der Mittelrippe 4 und der unteren Randrippe 3. Dadurch entsteht ein Freiraum, in den die Transportgabel eines Transportfahrzeuges eingefahren werden kann. Für das Anheben des Rahmens legt sich die Transportgabel an die über die Vertikalrippe 5B vorspringende Fläche 19 der Mittelrippe 4 an, wodurch der Rahmen angehoben werden kann.The vertical ribs 5 do not have the same depth everywhere: in the upper region between the upper edge rib 2 and the central rib 4, the part 5A of the vertical rib 5 has a greater depth than in the lower region between the central rib 4 and the lower edge rib 3 a space into which the transport fork of a transport vehicle can be inserted. For lifting the frame, the transport fork rests against the surface 19 of the central rib 4 projecting over the vertical rib 5B, as a result of which the frame can be raised.

In der Oberfläche der oberen Randrippe 2 sind in den vier Ecken runde Öffnungen 20 vorgesehen, in die Fixierstifte eingreifen können, um den Rahmen für ein automatisiertes Handling positionieren zu können.In the surface of the upper edge rib 2, round openings 20 are provided in the four corners, into which fixing pins can engage in order to be able to position the frame for automated handling.

Der in den Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellte Einsatz 15 ist aus einer Kunststoffolie durch einen Tiefziehvorgang hergestellt. Der Boden 21 geht über den Absatz 22 in die Seitenwand 23 über, die an ihrem oberen Ende einen nach außen gerichteten, im wesentlichen bodenparallelen Rand 24 aufweist, welcher an seinem äußeren Ende nach unten hin in die Abkantung 25 umgebogen ist. Der Rand 24 des Einsatzes 15 liegt auf der oberen Randrippe 2 des Rahmens auf. Die Abkantung 25 greift über die obere Randrippe 2 des Rahmens herüber. Dadurch wird eine weitere Befestigung des Einsatzes 15 am Rahmen erreicht. Damit die Abkantung 25 nicht über die durch die Vertikalrippen 5, die Mittelrippe 4 und die untere Randrippe 3 gegebene Flucht hinaus sich erstreckt, ist am oberen äußeren Ende der Vertikalrippe 5 eine Ausnehmung 26 vorgesehen und die obere Randrippe 2 ist weniger tief als die untere Randrippe 3 und die Mittelrippe 4.The insert 15 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is made from a plastic film by a deep-drawing process. The bottom 21 merges via the shoulder 22 into the side wall 23, which has at its upper end an outwardly directed, essentially floor-parallel edge 24, which is bent downward into the fold 25 at its outer end. The edge 24 of the insert 15 lies on the upper edge rib 2 of the frame. The bevel 25 extends over the upper edge rib 2 of the frame. A further attachment of the insert 15 to the frame is thereby achieved. So that the bend 25 does not extend beyond the flight given by the vertical ribs 5, the central rib 4 and the lower edge rib 3, is on A recess 26 is provided in the upper outer end of the vertical rib 5 and the upper edge rib 2 is less deep than the lower edge rib 3 and the central rib 4.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 5 und 6 weist der Einsatz 15 in seinen Seitenwänden 23 Ausbuchtungen 27 der einen Schmalseitenwand und Ausbuchtungen 28 in jeder der beiden Längsseitenwände an deren einen, den Ausbuchtungen 27 abgewandten Ende auf. Da die Einsätze 15 der Fig. 5 und 6 Seitenwände 23 in leichter Schräglage aufweisen, so daß der Innenraum des Einsatzes 5 die Form eines Pyramidenstumpfes aufweist, können mehrere Einsätze 15 ineinander gestapelt werden, wenn die Ausbuchtungen 27,28 der einzelnen Einsätze 15 an gleicher Stelle angeordnet sind. Wird jedoch ein Einsatz 15 gegenüber einem darunter gestapelten Einsatz 15 um 90° gedreht, so sind die Einsätze übereinander gestapelt. Ein sehr viel sicherer Stapel von übereinander gestapelten Einsätzen wird dadurch erzielt, daß, ausgehend von gleichstehenden Einsätzen 15 jeder über einen anderen Einsatz gestapelter Einsatz um 180° gedreht wird, so daß die Bodenteile der Ausbuchtungen 27 des darüber gestapelten Kastens auf der Oberkante der den Ausbuchtungen 28 benachbarten Seitenwand 23 eines darunter gestapelten Kastens zu stehen kommen und die Ausbuchtungen 28 eines darüber gestapelten Kastens auf den Längsseiten dort zu stehen kommen, wo sich beim darunter gestapelten Kasten keine Ausbuchtungen befinden. Die Verwendung von Einsätzen, die nach dem Drehstapelprinzip ineinander und übereinander stapelbar sind, bringt den Vorteil mit sich, daß die Einsätze nicht nur für den Leertransport bei geringstem Raumbedarf ineinander stapelbar sind, sondern auch außerhalb der Rahmen übereinander stapelbar sind.In the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 5 and 6, the insert 15 has in its side walls 23 bulges 27 of the one narrow side wall and bulges 28 in each of the two longitudinal side walls at one end facing away from the bulges 27. Since the inserts 15 of FIGS. 5 and 6 have side walls 23 in a slightly inclined position so that the interior of the insert 5 has the shape of a truncated pyramid, a plurality of inserts 15 can be stacked one inside the other if the bulges 27, 28 of the individual inserts 15 are the same Are arranged. However, if an insert 15 is rotated 90 ° with respect to an insert 15 stacked underneath, the inserts are stacked one above the other. A much more secure stack of inserts stacked on top of one another is achieved in that, starting from the same inserts 15, each insert stacked over another insert is rotated by 180 °, so that the bottom parts of the bulges 27 of the box stacked above them on the upper edge of the bulges 28 adjacent side wall 23 of a box stacked underneath and the bulges 28 of a box stacked above come to stand on the long sides where there are no bulges in the box stacked below. The use of inserts which can be stacked one inside the other and one above the other according to the rotary stacking principle has the advantage that the inserts are not only stackable one inside the other for empty transport with the smallest space requirement, but can also be stacked outside the frame.

Der Absatz 22, der sowohl bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 3 und 4 als auch bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 5 und 6 des Einsatzes vorgesehen sein kann, dient dazu, daß beim Übereinanderstapeln die einzelnen Einsätze verrutschungssicher übereinander stehen, weil sich der Absatz 22 auf die Oberfläche des Randes 24 eines darunter gestapelten Kastens aufsetzt und durch das Vorhandensein des Absatzes 22 die Unterkante des Bodens 21 tiefer als die Oberfläche des Randes 24 liegt, wobei der Vertikalteil 29 des Absatzes jedes Verrutschen verhindert.The paragraph 22, which can be provided both in the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4 and in the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6 of the insert, serves to ensure that the individual inserts are stacked securely on top of one another when stacked, because the paragraph 22 is placed on the surface of the rim 24 of a box stacked underneath and, due to the presence of the shoulder 22, the lower edge of the bottom 21 is lower than the surface of the rim 24, the vertical part 29 of the shoulder preventing any slipping.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 8 - 10 sind die Einsätze 15 als Spritzgußteile gefertigt. Sie weisen eine schmale obere, nach außen gerichtete Randrippe 30 auf, eine breite Mittelrippe 31 und weiter eine schmale untere Rippe 32. Die äußeren Umfangsdimensionen der oberen Randrippe 30 und der unteren Rippe 32 sind etwas kleiner als die Innendimensionen des Rahmens. Bei dieser Ausführungsform übernimmt die Mittelrippe 31 die Funktion, auf der oberen Randrippe 2 des Rahmens aufzuliegen. Sie weist deshalb Ausnehmungen 16 auf, durch die die Vorsprünge 9 des Rahmens hindurchgreifen und ist an ihrem äußeren Ende mit einer nach unten gerichteten Abkantung 25 versehen. Zwischen den Rippen 31, 32 sind Vertikalrippen 33 angeordnet, die sich entlang der Seitenwand 34 erstrecken und in Rippen 35 unterhalb der Mittelrippe 31 bis zur Abkantung 25 fortsetzen. Damit diese Rippen 35 nicht auf der oberen Oberfläche der oberen Ranrippe 2 des Rahmens aufliegen, weist die obere Randrippe 2 des Rahmens Ausnehmungen 36 bzw. Vertiefungen dort auf, wo Rippen 35 zu liegen kommen.In the embodiment of FIGS. 8-10, the inserts 15 are manufactured as injection molded parts. They have a narrow upper, outward-facing edge rib 30, a wide central rib 31 and further a narrow lower rib 32. The outer circumferential dimensions of the upper edge rib 30 and the lower rib 32 are somewhat smaller than the inner dimensions of the frame. In this embodiment, the central rib 31 takes on the function of resting on the upper edge rib 2 of the frame. It therefore has recesses 16 through which the projections 9 of the frame extend and is provided at its outer end with a downward bevel 25. Vertical ribs 33 are arranged between the ribs 31, 32 and extend along the side wall 34 and continue in ribs 35 below the central rib 31 up to the bevel 25. So that these ribs 35 do not rest on the upper surface of the upper rib 2 of the frame, the upper edge rib 2 of the frame has recesses 36 or depressions where ribs 35 come to rest.
