Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Greifvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 zum Entleeren von Müllbehältern in ein Müllsammelfahrzeug hinein. Eine derartige Greifvorrichtung ist beispielsweise Teil einer Hub-Kippvorrichtung, die an dem Heck oder an einer sonstigen Stelle eines Müllsammelfahrzeugs zum Aufnehmen und Transportieren eines oder mehrerer auch unterschiedlicher Behälter in das Müllsammelfahrzeug hinein vorhanden ist. Entsprechend der jeweilig unterschiedlichen Position der Hub-Kippvorrichtung bezüglich eines Müllsammelfahrzeugs werden sogenannte Heck-, Front- oder Seitenlader unterschieden.The invention relates to a gripping device according to the preamble of claim 1 for emptying refuse containers into a refuse collection vehicle. Such a gripping device is, for example, part of a lifting and tilting device which is provided at the rear or at another location of a refuse collection vehicle for picking up and transporting one or more different containers into the refuse collection vehicle. So-called rear, front or side loaders are differentiated according to the respective different position of the lifting and tipping device with respect to a refuse collection vehicle.

Die Greifvorrichtung muß den jeweils zu entleerenden Behältern konstruktiv angepaßt sein.The gripping device must be structurally adapted to the containers to be emptied.

Es sind Müllbehälter bekannt, die einen sogenannten oberen Umschlagrand aufweisen. Dieser über die Breite des Behälters laufende, im Bereich des vorderen Deckelrandes vorhandene Umschlagrand ermöglicht ein hintergreifendes Aufnehmen des Behälters durch eine sogenannte Kammaufnahme einer Hub-Kippvorrichtung. Statt des Kammes könnte auch eine durchgehende Aufnahmeleiste an der Hub-Kippvorrichtung vorhanden sein. Der Kamm bzw. die Zähne des Kammes ermöglichen eine seitliche unterschiedliche Positionierung eines Behälters auf dieser Kammaufnahme.Garbage containers are known which have a so-called upper edge of the envelope. This envelope edge, which runs across the width of the container and is present in the area of the front edge of the lid, enables the container to be picked up behind by a so-called comb holder of a lifting and tilting device. Instead of the comb, there could also be a continuous receiving strip on the lifting and tilting device. The comb or the teeth of the comb enable a container to be positioned differently on this comb receptacle.

Eine spezielle Art einer solchen Kammaufnahme ist beispielsweise aus der DE-OS 3614328 bekannt. Darüberhinaus gibt es noch mehrere andere Kammaufnahmen, die aber alle nach oben auskragende Glieder (Zähne) aufweisen. Dadurch können alle einen oberen Umschlag aufweisende Behälter, wie sie beispielsweise der besagten DE-OS 3614328 zu entnehmen sind, in Müllfahrzeuge hinein entleert werden, deren Hub-Kippvorrichtungen mit einer Kammaufnahme ausgestattet sind.A special type of such a comb holder is known for example from DE-OS 3614328. In addition, there are several other comb images, but all of them have upwardly projecting limbs (teeth). This allows all containers with an upper envelope, as can be seen, for example, from said DE-OS 3614328, are emptied into refuse vehicles, the lifting and tilting devices of which are equipped with a comb holder.

Darüberhinaus sind andersartige Behälter bekannt, wie sie beispielsweise in der EP-A2 0235784 angeführt sind. Diese Behälter besitzen an ihrer Vorderwand eine Aufnahmetasche, deren Seitenwände V-förmig nach oben aufeinander zu laufen. In diese Aufnahmetasche kann eine entsprechend angepaßte, nach oben relativ spitz auslaufende Klaue einer entsprechenden Hub-Kippvorrichtung derart eingreifen, daß ein Behälter in jeder Richtung kippsicher von der Klaue gehalten und in seine Entleerstellung sicher überführt werden kann.In addition, other types of containers are known, such as those listed in EP-A2 0235784. These containers have a receiving pocket on their front wall, the side walls of which run upward in a V-shape. A correspondingly adapted claw of a corresponding lifting and tipping device which engages in a relatively pointed manner can engage in this receiving pocket in such a way that a container can be held by the claw in a tilt-proof manner in any direction and can be safely transferred into its emptying position.

Um Beschädigungen an der Aufnahmetasche eines derartigen Müllbehälters auszuschließen, ist es aus der DE-PS 3703034 bekannt, die parallel zur Behälterwand verlaufende, äußere Aufnahmetaschen-Wand doppellagig, durch Verstrebungen miteinander ausgesteift auszubilden.In order to exclude damage to the receiving pocket of such a refuse container, it is known from DE-PS 3703034 to double-layer the outer receiving pocket wall which runs parallel to the container wall and is stiffened by struts.

Eine demgegenüber verbesserte Aufnahmetasche ist bei dem in der EP-A1 0 354 256 offenbarten Behälter bekannt. Diese Taschen-Behälter können allerdings nicht in Müllfahrzeuge entleert werden, deren Hub-Kippvorrichtung mit der vorstehend genannten Kammaufnahme ausgestattet sind.A receiving pocket which is improved in comparison to this is known from the container disclosed in EP-A1 0 354 256. However, these pocket containers cannot be emptied into refuse collection vehicles, the lifting and tilting devices of which are equipped with the aforementioned comb holder.

Eine gattungsgemäße Greifvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der DE-A1 26 06 599 bekannt. Diese vorbekannte Greifvorrichtung besitzt zwei als Trägerleisten bezeichnete Greifschienen zum Erfassen und Leeren von kleineren Behältern. Zusätzlich können Großbehälter mittels ausgeklappter Trägerarme erfaßt und entleert werden. Durch seitliches Herumschwenken der beiden Trägerarme können dieselben in ihrer Aufnahmestellung verstellt werden, in der sie einen Großbehälter zwischen sich erfassen können. Die Kippträger werden dabei mit nach außen aus dem Aufnahmebereich des Großbehälters herausgeschwenkt. Dadurch, daß sie um eine vertikale Achse verschwenkt werden, bleiben sie in der gleichen höhenmäßigen Ausrichtung an der Greifvorrichtung ausgerichtet. Bei "richtigem" Heranführen von kleineren Behältern, das heißt, beim Heranführen der kleineren Behälter in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Trägerarmen, können diese kleinen Behälter nicht von der Greifvorrichtung ergriffen werden. Bei seitlichem Heranführen der kleineren Behälter ist es aber durchaus möglich, dieselben an den nach wie vor höhenmäßig richtig ausgerichteten Kippträgern anzusetzen. Die nunmehr um 90 Grad falsch ausgerichteten kleineren Behälter könnten theoretisch bei Betätigung der Greifvorrichtung angehoben werden. Dies würde unweigerlich zu einem Herabstürzen dieser Behälter von der Greifvorrichtung, wenn nicht zu Schlimmerem führen.A generic gripping device of the type mentioned is known from DE-A1 26 06 599. This previously known gripping device has two gripping rails, known as carrier strips, for gripping and emptying smaller containers. In addition, large containers can be gripped and emptied by means of extended support arms. By swiveling the two support arms sideways around, the same can be adjusted in their receiving position, in which they can grip a large container between them. The tilting supports are swung outwards out of the receiving area of the large container. Because they are pivoted about a vertical axis, they remain aligned in the same vertical orientation on the gripping device. When "correct" feeding of smaller containers, that is, when the smaller containers are brought into the space between the support arms, these small containers cannot be gripped by the gripping device. When the smaller containers are brought in from the side, it is entirely possible to attach them to the tilting supports, which are still correctly aligned in terms of height. The smaller containers, which are now misaligned by 90 degrees, could theoretically be raised when the gripping device is actuated. This would inevitably cause these containers to fall off the gripping device, if not worse.

Eine aus der DE-U 93 00 699 bekannte Greifvorrichtung weist einerseits eine sogenannte Kammaufnahme zur Aufnahme von einen oberen Umschlagrand besitzenden Behältern und andererseits Hubklauen zur Aufnahme von ein Fassungsvermögen von 1,1 m3 besitzenden Müllgroßbehältern auf. Beide Aufnahmen sind fest miteinander verbunden.A gripping device known from DE-U 93 00 699 has, on the one hand, a so-called comb receptacle for holding containers with an upper envelope edge and, on the other hand, lifting claws for holding large garbage containers with a capacity of 1.1 m 3 . Both recordings are firmly connected.

Kammaufnahmen sind auch aus der GB-A1 2 165 814 bekannt. Zusätzlich können durch diese Greifvorrichtung Tonnen-Behälter entleert werden. Die zum Aufnehmen einer Tonne vorhandenen Greifarme werden dazu aus einer rückwärtigen Ruhe-Position in ihre Greif-Position gebracht, wobei sie um eine vertikale Achse verschwenkt werden.Comb recordings are also known from GB-A1 2 165 814. In addition, this container can be used for barrel containers be emptied. For this purpose, the gripping arms available for picking up a ton are brought into their gripping position from a rear resting position, whereby they are pivoted about a vertical axis.

Ausgehend von diesem vorbekannten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine konstruktiv einfache und sichere Möglichkeit anzugeben, um sowohl Taschen-Behälter als auch Umschlagrand-Behälter wahlweise in dasselbe Sammelfahrzeug hinein entleeren zu können.Based on this known prior art, the invention has for its object to provide a structurally simple and safe way to selectively emptying both pocket containers and envelope edge containers into the same collecting vehicle.

Diese Erfindung ist durch die Merkmale des Hauptanspruchs gegeben. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This invention is given by the features of the main claim. Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Greifvorrichtung ist nicht nur zur Aufnahme von Umschlagrand-Behältern sondern auch zur Aufnahme von Taschen-Behältern ausgelegt. Ferner ist in jedem Fall, auch bei unsachgemäßer, falscher Heranführung des falschen Behälters an die Greifvorrichtung sichergestellt, daß dieser falsche Behälter unter keinen Umständen entleert werden kann.The gripping device according to the invention is designed not only for receiving envelope edge containers but also for receiving pocket containers. Furthermore, it is ensured in any case, even if the wrong container is incorrectly brought up to the gripping device that this wrong container can under no circumstances be emptied.

Die erfindungsgemäße Greifvorrichtung ermöglicht dies durch ihre beiden Aufnahmen, die einmal für Behälter vorgesehen sind, die einen oberen Umschlagrand besitzen, und die zum anderen für Behälter ausgebildet sind, die eine angeformte, hinterschnittene Aufnahmetasche besitzen, wobei diese Aufnahmen durch Drehen, Verschwenken, Klappen, Verschieben oder durch eine schraubenmäßige Verdrehung derart in Ruhestellung der Greifvorrichtung nach oben hin verstellbar sind, daß die Greifvorrichtung jeweils nur mit einer Art von Behälter in Eingriff bringbar ist.The gripping device according to the invention makes this possible by its two receptacles, which are provided for containers that have an upper envelope edge and are designed for containers that have an integrally formed, undercut receiving pocket, these receptacles being made by rotating, pivoting, folding, Moving or by a screw-like rotation in the rest position of the gripping device are adjustable upwards that the gripping device can only be brought into engagement with one type of container.

Durch die Drehwirkung wird dabei die jeweils gewünschte Aufnahme nach oben positioniert, während durch die vorzugsweise schräge Schraubbewegung und damit durch die Verstellung in horizontaler und in vertikaler Richtung eine unterschiedlich hohe und unterschiedlich horizontale Lage der betreffenden Aufnahme erreicht wird. Die unterschiedlich hohe Positionierung der Aufnahmen ist sinnvoll, da die Tasche eines Müllbehälters in aller Regel unterhalb des oberen Umschlagrandes eines vergleichbaren Müllbehälters angeordnet ist. Statt der unterschiedlich hohen Ausrichtung der verschiedenen Aufnahmen ist es andererseits auch möglich, die Hub-Kippvorrichtung entsprechend der jeweiligen Aufnahme unterschiedlich beim Ergreifen eines Behälters und damit in der unteren Stellung zu positionieren.Due to the rotary action, the desired receptacle is positioned upwards, while the preferred one oblique screwing movement and thus a different height and different horizontal position of the receptacle in question is achieved by the adjustment in the horizontal and in the vertical direction. The different positions of the receptacles make sense, since the pocket of a garbage container is usually arranged below the upper edge of the envelope of a comparable garbage container. Instead of the different heights of the different receptacles, on the other hand, it is also possible to position the lifting and tilting device differently according to the respective receptacle when gripping a container and thus in the lower position.

Die Erfindung schafft damit nicht nur eine Greifvorrichtung zum wahlweise Entleeren von zwei bestimmten Behältertypen, sondern stellt darüber hinaus auch sicher, daß jeweils nur der richtige Behälter von der Greifvorrichtung ergriffen werden kann.The invention thus not only creates a gripping device for selectively emptying two specific types of containers, but also ensures that only the correct container can be gripped by the gripping device.

Eine wesentliche Weiterbildung der Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die zumindest zwei unterschiedlichen Aufnahmen Teil eines Aufnahmekörpers sind. Dieser Aufnahmekörper kann dabei um eine Achse drehbar gelagert sein. Je nach Drehstellung des Aufnahmekörpers und damit der Aufnahme, kann nur jeweils eine bestimmte Aufnahme mit einem bestimmten Behälter in Eingriff gebracht werden. Die Drehachse des Körpers ist im wesentlichen horizontal angeordnet. Durch die Anordnung der unterschiedlichen Aufnahmen auf einem einzigen Aufnahmekörper ist eine kompakte Ausbildung des Aufnahmekörpers zusammen mit seinen unterschiedlichen Aufnahmen möglich. Diese kompakte Aufnahme wird auch dadurch möglich, daß der Aufnahmekörper um eine einzige Achse drehbar an der Greifvorrichtung gelagert ist. Je nach Drehstellung des Aufnahmekörpers besitzen die unterschiedlichen Aufnahmen damit automatisch ebenfalls eine entsprechende Drehstellung.An essential development of the invention is characterized in that the at least two different receptacles are part of a receptacle body. This receiving body can be rotatably mounted about an axis. Depending on the rotational position of the receptacle and thus the receptacle, only one particular receptacle can be brought into engagement with a certain container. The axis of rotation of the body is arranged essentially horizontally. The arrangement of the different receptacles on a single receptacle body enables the receptacle body to be compactly designed together with its different receptacles. This compact recording is also possible in that the receiving body is rotatably mounted on the gripping device about a single axis. Depending on the rotational position of the receiving body, the different recordings thus also automatically have a corresponding rotational position.

Es ist beispielsweise auch nicht mehr erforderlich, zum Entleeren von den vorstehend aufgeführten unterschiedlichen Typen von Behältern die am Fahrzeug vorhandene sogenannte Schüttung auszuwechseln, sondern es ist nunmehr möglich, lediglich die an der Schüttung bzw. der Hub-Kippvorrichtung vorhandene Greifeinrichtung auszuwechseln.It is also no longer necessary, for example, to replace the so-called bed present on the vehicle for emptying the different types of containers listed above, but it is now possible to replace only the gripping device provided on the bed or the lifting and tilting device.

Das Auswechseln der Greifvorrichtung kann auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise erfolgen. So ist es sowohl möglich, die jeweils vorhandene Greifvorrichtung bei nicht passendem Behälter von der Hub-Kippvorrichtung wegzunehmen und durch eine passende, andere Greifvorrichtung zu ersetzen. Andererseits können auch mehrere Greifvorrichtungen an der Schüttung bzw. der Hub-Kippvorrichtung vorhanden sein und nur jeweils in ihre "richtige" Position zum Aufnehmen des betreffenden Behälters versetzt werden. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß keine Greifvorrichtung verlorengehen kann und daß die gerade gebrauchte Greifvorrichtung immer vorhanden ist.The gripping device can be exchanged in different ways. It is both possible to remove the existing gripping device from the lifting and tilting device if the container is not suitable and to replace it with a suitable, different gripping device. On the other hand, several gripping devices can also be present on the bed or the lifting and tilting device and can only be put into their "correct" position in each case for receiving the container in question. This has the advantage that no gripping device can be lost and that the gripping device just used is always present.

Darüberhinaus ist es möglich, die im Stand der Technik an sich bekannte Hub-Kippvorrichtung mit Kammaufnahme zusätzlich mit einer Aufnahme für Taschen-Behälter auszustatten. In diesem Fall ist dann vorzugsweise die zusätzliche Aufnahme für Taschen-Behälter an der Hub-Kippvorrichtung in horizontaler Richtung verschieblich angeordnet. Dadurch kann dann sichergestellt werden, daß in Abhängigkeit von der Stellung der zusätzlichen, für die Taschen-Behälter vorgesehenen Aufnahme nur diese oder die andere, die in diesem Beispielsfall die feste Kammaufnahme ist, mit einem entsprechenden Behälter in Eingriff gebracht werden kann.In addition, it is possible to additionally equip the lifting and tilting device with comb receptacle known in the prior art with a receptacle for pocket containers. In this case, the additional receptacle for pocket containers is then preferably arranged to be displaceable in the horizontal direction on the lifting and tilting device. This can then ensure that, depending on the position of the additional receptacle provided for the pocket container, only this or the other receptacle, which in this example is the fixed comb receptacle, with a corresponding container in Intervention can be brought.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Behälter 10 dargestellt, der mit einem Umschlagrand 12 im oberen Bereich seiner Vorderwand 14 ausgebildet ist. Derartige Behälter gehören zum Stand der Technik. Sie sind unterschiedlich groß und können mit einem Paar Räder 16 oder auch mit zwei Paar Rädern ausgestattet sein. Von oben läßt sich der Behälter 10 durch einen Deckel 18 verschließen. Das Innere des Behälters kann mit längs oder quer angeordneter Zwischenwand oder auch ohne Zwischenwand in eine oder mehrere Kammern unterteilt sein.In Fig. 1, a container 10 is shown, which is formed with an envelope edge 12 in the upper region of its front wall 14. Such containers belong to the prior art. They are of different sizes and can be equipped with a pair of wheels 16 or with two pairs of wheels. The container 10 can be closed from above by a cover 18. The interior of the container can be arranged in one or with a longitudinal or transverse partition or without a partition be divided into several chambers.

Der in Fig. 2 dargestellte Behälter 20 ist ähnlich dem Behälter 10 ausgebildet. Nur besitzt er statt des oberen Umschlagrandes 12 im oberen Bereich seiner Vorderwand 14 eine sich nach oben verjüngende, hinterschnittene Tasche 22. Auch solche Behälter 20 sind im Stand der Technik bekannt.The container 20 shown in FIG. 2 is similar to the container 10. Instead of the upper envelope edge 12 in the upper area of its front wall 14, it only has an upwardly tapered, undercut pocket 22. Such containers 20 are also known in the prior art.

Zum Aufnehmen des Behälters 10 sind Greifvorrichtungen 30 von beispielsweise Hub-Kippvorrichtungen bekannt, deren Aufnahme für den Behälter 10 durch eine Kammleiste 32 gebildet wird. Durch die nebeneinander vorhandenen mehreren Zähne 34 dieser Kammleiste 32 können Behälter 10 in Querrichtung beliebig versetzt auf der Kammleiste 32 angehängt werden. Die Zähne 34 greifen dabei von unten in den Umschlagrand 12 hinein. Die Greifvorrichtung 30 besitzt außerdem noch eine untere Abstützeinrichtung 36, an die ein auf der Kammleiste 32 aufsitzender Behälter 10 im unteren Bereich seiner Vorderwand 14 abstützend anliegt.For receiving the container 10, gripping devices 30 of, for example, lifting and tilting devices are known, the receptacle for the container 10 being formed by a comb strip 32. The multiple teeth 34 of this comb strip 32, which are present next to one another, allow containers 10 to be attached to the comb strip 32 at any offset in the transverse direction. The teeth 34 reach into the envelope edge 12 from below. The gripping device 30 also has a lower support device 36 against which a container 10 seated on the comb strip 32 bears in the lower region of its front wall 14.

Die Kammleiste 32 ist Teil eines Aufnahmekörpers 40. Dieser Aufnahmekörper ist um eine Achse 42 um im vorliegenden Beispielsfall 180o (Grad) drehbar an der Greifvorrichtung 30 gelagert. Gegenüber der Kammleiste 32 ist an dem Aufnahmekörper 40 eine in Fig. 1 etwa konisch zulaufende Ausrundung 46 vorhanden. In Fig. 2 ist der Aufnahmekörper 40 mit dieser Ausrundung 46 nach oben positioniert. Dazu ist er um 180o um seine Achse 42 verschwenkt worden. Die Ausrundung 46 ist so geformt, daß sie genau mit sattem Sitz in die Tasche 22 des Behälters 20 eingeführt werden kann. Die Achse 42 ist zu diesem Zweck so im Aufnahmekörper 40 vorhanden, daß einerseits die Kammleiste 32, andererseits die Ausrundung 46 von unten in einen auf einem Untergrund 50 ruhenden Behälter 10 bzw. 20 eingeführt werden kann. Mit nach oben ausgerichteter Kammleiste 32 (Fig. 1) lassen sich damit Behälter 10 aufnehmen und in ein Müllfahrzeug hinein entleeren, die mit einem Umschlagrand 12 ausgestattet sind. Sofern die Ausrundung 46 des Aufnahmekörpers 40 nach oben verschwenkt ist (Fig. 2), können Behälter 20 mit einer Taschenausbildung 22 von der Greifvorrichtung 30 aufgenommen werden.The comb bar 32 is part of an accommodating member 40. This receiving body is rotatably mounted about an axis 42 to in the present example, 180 o (degrees) on the gripping device 30th Compared to the comb strip 32, a rounded-off taper 46 in FIG. 1 is provided on the receiving body 40. In Fig. 2, the receiving body 40 is positioned with this fillet 46 upwards. For this purpose, it has been pivoted about its axis 42 by 180 ° . The fillet 46 is shaped so that it can be inserted into the pocket 22 of the container 20 with a snug fit. For this purpose, the axis 42 is present in the receiving body 40 in such a way that, on the one hand, the comb strip 32 and, on the other hand, the fillet 46 can be introduced from below into a container 10 or 20 resting on a base 50. With the comb strip 32 oriented upward (FIG. 1), containers 10 can thus be picked up and emptied into a refuse collection vehicle, with an envelope edge 12 are equipped. If the rounded portion 46 of the receiving body 40 is pivoted upward (FIG. 2), containers 20 with a pocket formation 22 can be picked up by the gripping device 30.

Bei den Behältern 20 bräuchte die Abstützteinrichtung 36 nicht vorhanden zu sein, da der Behälter 20 auf dem Aufnahmekörper 40 mit nach oben ausgerichteter Ausrundung 46 kippsicher gehalten werden kann.In the case of the containers 20, the support device 36 would not need to be present, since the container 20 can be held on the receiving body 40 with the rounded-off portion 46 pointing upward.

Statt der Ausrundung 46 können auch andersartige Aufnahmen vorhanden sein, die dann beispielsweise umfangsmäßig am Aufnahmekörper verteilt angeordnet sein könnten. Die entsprechende Stellung des Aufnahmekörpers könnte durch ein Einrasten erfolgen.Instead of the fillet 46, other types of receptacles can also be present, which could then be arranged distributed over the circumference of the receptacle body, for example. The corresponding position of the receiving body could be done by snapping it into place.

Die Art der Ausrundung 46 bzw. die dadurch gebildete Aufnahmemöglichkeit eines Aufnahmekörpers 40 richtet sich nach der Art und Anordnung der an einem Behälter 20 vorhandenen Taschen, in die der Aufnahmekörper 40 eingeschoben werden soll. Entsprechend einer unterschiedlichen Taschenausbildung sind dann auch die Ausrundungen und damit die Ausbildungen des Aufnahmekörpers 40 entsprechend anders. Möglich wäre es daher auch, statt des einen Aufnahmekörpers 40 zwei oder noch mehr Aufnahmekörper gleichzeitig in dann auch entsprechend viele Taschen eines Behälters eingreifen zu lassen.The type of fillet 46 or the possibility of receiving a receiving body 40 formed thereby depends on the type and arrangement of the pockets on a container 20 into which the receiving body 40 is to be inserted. In accordance with a different pocket design, the fillets and thus the designs of the receiving body 40 are also correspondingly different. It would therefore also be possible to have two or even more receiving bodies engage simultaneously in a correspondingly large number of pockets of a container instead of one receiving body 40.

Die vorstehend beschriebenen und in der Zeichnung dargestellten Behälter 10 und 20 sitzen unterschiedlich weit auf der Greifvorrichtung 30 und damit einerseits auf der Kammleiste 32 (Behälter 10) bzw. auf der Ausrundung 46 (Behälter 20) auf. Diese beiden unterschiedlichen Zustände sind in Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellt. Dies gilt für ihren oberen Rand, das heißt für den Bereich, der auf der Greifvorrichtung 30 von oben aufgesetzt wird. Um zu verhindern, daß der im vorliegenden Beispielsfall Behälter 10 zu weit, das heißt in der Zeichnung der Fig. 4, nach links auf die Greifvorrichtung 30 aufgesetzt wird, ist an der Greifvorrichtung 30 ein Abstandshalter 60 ausgebildet.The containers 10 and 20 described above and shown in the drawing sit differently on the gripping device 30 and thus on the one hand on the comb strip 32 (container 10) or on the fillet 46 (container 20). These two different states are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. This applies to its upper edge, that is to say to the area which is placed on the gripping device 30 from above. To prevent the container 10 in the present example from being too wide, that is to say in the drawing 4, is placed on the gripping device 30 to the left, a spacer 60 is formed on the gripping device 30.

Der Abstandshalter 60 ist in der Art eines Kragglieds ausgebildet und besitzt ein Drehlager 62, mit dem er auf der Greifvorrichtung 30 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Die beiden unterschiedlichen Schwenkstellungen sind in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellt.The spacer 60 is designed in the manner of a cantilever and has a pivot bearing 62 with which it is pivotably mounted on the gripping device 30. The two different pivot positions are shown in Figures 3 and 4.

An dem Abstandshalter 60 ist ein Zapfen 64 fest angebracht, an dem das eine Ende einer Feder 66 befestigt ist. Das andere Ende dieser Feder 66 ist an der Greifvorrichtung 30 bzw. an einer nach hinten auskragenden Konsole 68 befestigt. Ebenfalls am Abstandshalter 60 ist nach unten hin auskragend ein Hebel 70 vorhanden. Beim Verschwenken des Zapfens 64 durch die Kraft der Feder 66 schwenkt sich der Abstandshalter 60 mit seinem unteren Hebel 70 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn von dem oberen Bereich des Behälters 20 weg, und behält seine in Fig. 3 dargestellte Endposition. Die an dem Abstandshalter 60 endseitig angebrachte Platte 72 bleibt dadurch außerhalb des vom Behälter 20 und dessen Tasche 22 eingenommenen Lichtraumprofils, sofern dieser Behälter 20 auf der Ausrundung 46 der Greifvorrichtung 30 von oben aufsitzt.A pin 64 is fixedly attached to the spacer 60, to which one end of a spring 66 is fastened. The other end of this spring 66 is attached to the gripping device 30 or to a bracket 68 projecting to the rear. A lever 70 is also provided on the spacer 60, projecting downward. When the pin 64 is pivoted by the force of the spring 66, the spacer 60 pivots with its lower lever 70 counterclockwise away from the upper region of the container 20 and maintains its end position shown in FIG. 3. The plate 72 attached to the end of the spacer 60 thus remains outside the clearance profile occupied by the container 20 and its pocket 22, provided that this container 20 is seated on the fillet 46 of the gripping device 30 from above.

Sofern statt des Behälters 20 ein Behälter 10 auf der Greifvorrichtung 30 aufgesetzt werden soll, wird die Greifvorrichtung 30 mit ihrer Kammleiste 32 nach oben positioniert. Auf diese Weise kann der Umschlagrand 12 des Behälters 10 von oben auf diese Kammleiste 32 aufgesetzt werden. Der Umschlagrand 12 ragt aber nicht so weit wie die Tasche 22 in den Bereich der Greifvorrichtung 30, das heißt in der Zeichnung nach links, ein, was durch den Abstandshalter 60 und insbesondere durch dessen Platte 72 sichergestellt wird. Der Behälter 10 kann mit seinem Umschlagrand 12 nämlich nur bis zur Platte 72 gegen die Greifvorrichtung 30 geschoben werden. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, daß der Umschlagrand 12 ohne größeres Hantieren leicht von oben auf die Kammleiste 32 aufgesetzt werden kann.If, instead of the container 20, a container 10 is to be placed on the gripping device 30, the gripping device 30 is positioned with its comb 32 upwards. In this way, the cover edge 12 of the container 10 can be placed on this comb 32 from above. However, the envelope edge 12 does not protrude as far as the pocket 22 into the area of the gripping device 30, that is to say to the left in the drawing, which is ensured by the spacer 60 and in particular by its plate 72. The container 10 with its envelope edge 12 can only be pushed up to the plate 72 against the gripping device 30. Thereby It is ensured that the cover edge 12 can be easily placed on the comb bar 32 from above without major handling.

Um den Abstandhalter 60 und dabei dessen Platte 72 in die in Fig. 4 dargestellte Position - im Uhrzeigersinn aus der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Position - zu verschwenken, ist am Aufnahmekörper 40 der Greifvorrichtung 30 ein Auslöseglied 76 angebracht, das vom Behälter 10 wegragt - in Richtung auf die Greifvorrichtung 30 zu. Dieses Auslöseglied 76 ist so positioniert, daß es bei nach oben ausgerichteter Kammleiste 32 gegen den Hebel 70 des Abstandshalters 60 drückt und diesen gegen die Kraft der Feder 66 im Uhrzeigersinn um das Drehlager 62 verschwenkt. Die gleiche Schwenkbewegung macht auch die Platte 72 mit, so daß die Platte 72 ihre in Fig. 4 dargestellte Position einnehmen kann.In order to pivot the spacer 60 and thereby its plate 72 into the position shown in FIG. 4 - clockwise from the position shown in FIG. 3 - a release member 76 is attached to the receiving body 40 of the gripping device 30 and protrudes from the container 10 - towards the gripping device 30. This trigger member 76 is positioned such that it presses against the lever 70 of the spacer 60 when the comb bar 32 is oriented upwards and pivots it clockwise about the pivot bearing 62 against the force of the spring 66. The same pivoting movement is also carried out by the plate 72, so that the plate 72 can assume its position shown in FIG. 4.

Wird der Behälter 10 wieder von der Kammleiste 32 weggenommen, ändert sich an der Position des Abstandshalters 60 zunächst nichts. Erst wenn der Aufnahmekörper 40 zur Aufnahme eines anderen Behälters 20 verwendet werden soll und in diesem Zusammenhang die Kammleiste 32 um 180 Grad nach unten und der Aufnahmekörper mit seiner Ausrundung 46 nach oben verschwenkt werden, wird das Auslöseglied 76 von dem Hebel 70 wegbewegt. Dadurch zieht dann die Feder 66 den Abstandshalter 60 wieder im Gegenuhrzeigersinn in die in Fig. 3 dargestellte andere Endlage.If the container 10 is removed again from the comb strip 32, initially nothing changes in the position of the spacer 60. Only when the receptacle body 40 is to be used to hold another container 20 and in this connection the comb strip 32 is pivoted downwards by 180 degrees and the receptacle body with its rounded portion 46 is pivoted upward, is the release member 76 moved away from the lever 70. As a result, the spring 66 then pulls the spacer 60 again counterclockwise into the other end position shown in FIG. 3.
