Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter gemäss dem Oberbegriff des ersten Patentanspruchs.The invention relates to a container according to the preamble of the first claim.
Derartige Kunststoffbehälter, die z.B. aus EP-A-0 602 536 bekannt sind, eignen sich zur Aufbewahrung verschiedenster Artikel. Sollen sie zum Transport dieser Artikel eingesetzt werden, so können sich jedoch Probleme ergeben, insbesondere wenn die Behälter zusammen mit anderen Gütern transportiert, sortiert und umgeschlagen werden. So zeigt es sich zum Beispiel, dass es beim gleichzeitigen Transport von Kunststoffbehältern und Behältern aus Karton zu Schäden an den Kartonbehältern kommen kann.Such plastic containers, e.g. are known from EP-A-0 602 536, are suitable for Storage of various articles. Should they go to Transportation of these items can be used so yourself however, problems arise, especially when the containers transported, sorted and together with other goods be handled. For example, it shows that it while transporting plastic containers at the same time and cardboard boxes to damage the cardboard boxes can come.
Ferner eignen sich Kunststoffbehälter nicht gut zum Umschlag und zur Verteilung in Anlagen, welche für Kartonschachteln ausgelegt worden sind. Die Kunststoffbehälter bleiben oftmals in der Anlage hängen. Dies führt zu Verstopfungen und Schäden.Furthermore, plastic containers are not suitable good for handling and distribution in plants, which for Cardboard boxes have been laid out. The plastic containers often get stuck in the system. this leads to to constipation and damage.
Deshalb stellt sich die Aufgabe, einen Behälter der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, dass er die erwähnten Nachteile des Standes der Technik mindestens teilweise vermeidet.Therefore the task arises of a container of the type mentioned in the introduction so that it the mentioned disadvantages of the prior art at least partially avoided.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Behälter gemäss
Anspruch 1 gelöst.This task is accomplished by the
Wie es sich zeigt, ist die Ausgestaltung des Randbereichs des Behälters zur Verhinderung der eingangs genannten Probleme wichtig. Durch die Abbiegung bzw. Abrundung des unteren Endes der Verstärkungswand kann eine Kante oder Rippe in diesem Teil des Randbereichs im Gegensatz zu bekannten Lösungen vermieden werden. Dadurch wird die Gefahr einer Beschädigung anderer Güter und das Risiko eines Hängenbleibens vermindert.As it turns out, the design of the Edge area of the container to prevent the entrance problems mentioned important. By turning or rounding off the lower end of the reinforcement wall can be one In contrast, edge or rib in this part of the border area to avoid known solutions. This will the risk of damage to other goods and the risk of getting stuck.
Vorzugsweise geht das abgebogene Ende der Verstärkungswand in die entsprechende Seitenwand über. Dadurch ergibt sich eine Verstärkung des Randbereichs und Unterbrüche in der Aussenwand werden vermieden.Preferably goes the bent end of the Reinforcement wall into the corresponding one Sidewall above. This results in an amplification of the Edge areas and breaks in the outer wall are avoided.
Als Auflage für den Deckel dienen vorzugsweise Rippen, die sich zwischen den Seitenwänden und der Aussenwand erstrecken. Auf diesen Rippen liegen entsprechende Rippen des Deckels auf. Eine solche Auflage auf relativ kurzen Rippen ist wesentlich präziser herstellbar als eine Auflage auf der langen Kante der Seiten- oder der Verstärkungswand. Die Rippen sind vorzugsweise unter einem kleinen Winkel gegeneinander angeordnet, so dass sich eine sichere Auflage ergibt.Preferably serve as a support for the lid Ribs that are between the side walls and the outer wall extend. Corresponding lie on these ribs Rib the lid. Such a requirement on relative short ribs can be manufactured much more precisely than one Rest on the long edge of the side or reinforcement wall. The ribs are preferably under a small one Angles arranged against each other so that there is a results in a secure circulation.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist der Deckel in seinem Aussenbereich nach unten abgerundet. Er bildet somit die abgerundeten Oberkanten des Behälters. Vorzugsweise geht er über einen kleinen Luftspalt ohne Kante bzw. Richtungswechsel in die Verstärkungswand über.In a preferred embodiment, the lid rounded downwards in its outer area. It educates hence the rounded top edges of the container. Preferably it goes over a small air gap without edge or Change of direction in the reinforcement wall.
Zwischen der Oberkante der Seitenwände und dem Deckel kann ein umlaufendes Dichtungsmittel angeordnet werden, so dass der Behälter höheren Dichtigkeitsansprüchen genügt. Liegt der Deckel gleichzeitig noch auf den oben erwähnten Rippen auf, so wird das Dichtungsmittel auch bei Stapelung der Behälter keiner übermässigen Kraft ausgesetzt.Between the top edge of the side walls and the Lid can be arranged a circumferential sealant so that the container has higher tightness requirements enough. If the lid is still on at the same time the ribs mentioned above, so the sealant no excessive force even when the containers are stacked exposed.
Zur Verbindung von Deckel und Unterteil können elastische Zungen eingesetzt werden. Diese sind zum Beispiel am Randbereich des Unterteils befestigt und schnappen in den Deckel ein. Zur Lösung der Verbindung müssen die Zungen nach innen gedrückt werden. Hierzu sind im Deckel oder in der Verstärkungswand des Randbereichs Betätigungsöffnungen vorgesehen. Jede Betätigungsöffnung ist wesentlich kleiner als die darunter liegende Zunge und ist seitlich zentriert über dieser angeordnet. Durch diese zentrale Anordnung der Betätigungsöffnung über der Zunge wird sichergestellt, dass bei der Betätigung der Zunge eine zentrale Kraft ausgeübt wird. Ferner wirkt die Betätigungsöffnung als Sicherheitsblende, welche verhindert, dass der Behälter unabsichtlich geöffnet wird.Can be used to connect the lid and base elastic tongues are used. These are for example attached to the edge of the lower part and snap in the lid. To solve the connection must the tongues are pressed inwards. For this are in Cover or in the reinforcement wall of the edge area, actuation openings intended. Every actuation opening is much smaller than the tongue underneath and is laterally centered over this. Through this central arrangement of the actuation opening above the tongue ensures that when the tongue is actuated a central force is exercised. The actuation opening also acts as a safety cover, which prevents that the container is opened unintentionally.
Vorzugsweise soll der Behälter ohne Deckel verschachtelbar und mit Deckel stapelbar sein. Ferner sollte er im Randbereich mindestens eine Grifföffnung aufweisen.The container should preferably be without a lid can be nested and stacked with a lid. Further should have at least one grip opening in the edge area.

wobei zwischen der vertikalen Wandsektion 14 und der Verstärkungswand
5 ein Luftspalt von etwa 1 mm Höhe gebildet
wird.As can be seen from Figure 1, the
Zwischen den Seitenwänden 3 und der Verstärkungswand
5 erstrecken sich kurze und lange Rippen 7 bzw.
8. Diese Rippen stehen vertikal und bilden eine Verstärkung
des Randbereichs. Die langen Rippen 8 sind nach oben
verjüngt und bilden seitliche Führungen beim Aufsetzen des
Deckels. Die kurzen Rippen 7 haben horizontale Oberkanten
10 und bilden eine Auflage für die Unterkanten 11 entsprechender
Rippen 12 des Deckels 2.Between the
Um eine sichere Auflage zu gewährleisten,
laufen die Rippen 7 und 12 nicht genau parallel zueinander.
Dies ist insbesondere aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich, welche
eine Draufsicht auf den Randbereich des Behälters zeigt.
Dabei sind die Teile des Deckels gestrichelt gezeichnet.
Deutlich erkennbar ist hier der Winkel zwischen den Rippen
7 und 12. Durch diesen Winkel wird vermieden, dass die
Rippen 12 bei einer Verformung des Deckels seitlich neben
die Rippen 7 zu liegen kommen können. Es ergibt sich also
eine sichere, wohldefinierte Auflage, die in der Lage ist,
auch grosse Stapelkräfte aufzunehmen.To ensure a secure circulation,
In Figur 3 sind ferner Oeffnungen 9 ersichtlich,
welche in regelmässigen Abständen am unteren, horizontal
verlaufenden Abschlussende 6 der Verstärkungswand 5
ausgespart sind. Diese Oeffnungen verhindern es, dass sich
im Randbereich 4 Wasser ansammeln kann.
Zur Befestigung des Deckels 2 am Unterteil 1
ist an den beiden Stirnseiten des Behälters je eine in
Form eines Schnappelementes ausgeformte Befestigungszunge
15 vorgesehen. Die Anordnung und Wirkungsweise dieser
Zungen ist am besten in Fig. 4 ersichtlich.For fastening the
Jede Zunge 15 ist am unteren Ende des Randbereichs
4 befestigt und erstreckt sich vertikal nach oben.
An ihrem oberen Ende ist sie mit einem Vorsprung 16 mit
Anlaufschräge versehen, der in einen Vorsprung 17 des
Deckels 2 einschnappt. Zum Lösen der Verbindung muss die
Zunge gegen ihre Federkraft nach innen gedrückt werden.
Hierzu ist im Deckel eine Betätigungsöffnung 18 vorgesehen.
Sie befindet sich seitlich zentriert über dem
oberen Ende der Zunge 15 und gewährleistet, dass die
Druckkraft immer mittig auf die Zunge 15 ausgeübt wird.
Ferner wirkt die Betätigungsöffnung 18 als Schutzblende
und verhindert, dass die Zunge unabsichtlich nach innen
gedrückt wird.Each
Der vorliegende Behälter nach Fig. 1 - 3 ist
spritzwasserdicht. Hierzu ist zwischen der Oberkante 22
(Fig. 2) der Seitenwand 3 und dem Deckel 1 ein elastischer
Dichtungsring 20 (Fig. 4) vorgesehen. Dieser Dichtungsring
liegt in einer Nut 21 des Deckels und erstreckt sich bei
aufgesetztem Deckel entlang der ganzen Oberkante 22 der
Seitenwand 3. Somit ist das Behälterinnere rundum abgedichtet.The present container according to FIGS. 1-3 is
splashproof. For this purpose, between the upper edge 22
(Fig. 2) of the
Hierbei ist zu beachten, dass der Dichtungsring
20 nicht als Auflage des Deckels wirkt - hierzu sind
die Rippen 7 und 12 vorgesehen. Damit wird verhindert,
dass der Dichtungsring 20 bei Stapelung der Behälter zusätzlich
zusammengedrückt wird.It should be noted here that the sealing
Figur 5 zeigt eine Teilansicht einer alternativen
Ausführung des erfindungsgemässen Behälters. Bei
diesem Behälter ist an jeder Stirnseite eine Grifföffnung
24 vorgesehen. Diese Oeffnung erstreckt sich durch den
Randbereich 4 des Unterteils 1 und den Deckel 2, wobei im
Randbereich 4 und im Deckel 2 entsprechende Oeffnungen
ausgeformt sind. Dabei bilden der Randbereich und der
Deckel einen abgerundeten Griff 25. Der Dichtungsring 20
verläuft innerhalb der Grifföffnung 24, so dass eine Abdichtung
des Behälterinnerns gewährleistet bleibt.Figure 5 shows a partial view of an alternative
