Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter zur ordnenden Lagerung von Bestandteilen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a container for orderly storage of components according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Stapelbare Behälter, die einseitig eine Zugriffsöffnung aufweisen und von oben her offen ausgebildet sind, findet man in verschiedenen Grössen und Formen. Beispielsweise sind solche Behälter, die als stabile Türme zusammengestetzt werden können, als "Silafix-System" bekannt aus dem "Euro-Katolog 1996" der Firma Georg Utz AG, CH-5620 Bremgarten auf den Seiten 159 bis 164. Diese Behälter weisen mit ihren vorderen Hohlsäulen eine grosse Stabilität auf und haben sich in der Praxis für die Aufbewahrung von Schrauben, Muttern oder sonstigen Einzelteilen in Werkstätten aber auch im Bürobereich ausgezeichnet bewährt. Nachteilig ist lediglich, dass diese Behälter relativ sperrig sind und deshalb beim Transport oder bei der Lagerung von ungenutzten Behältern relativ viel Platz in Anspruch nehmen. Zwar können zwei Behälter umgekehrt und verdreht teilweise platzsparend zusammengeschoben werden, wenn diese jedoch in einer grossen Anzahl gestapelt werden müssen, ist eine stabile und geordnete Lagerung kaum gegeben.Stackable containers that have an access opening on one side have and are designed to be open from above one in different sizes and shapes. For example are such containers that are put together as stable towers can be known as the "Silafix system" the "Euro-Katolog 1996" from Georg Utz AG, CH-5620 Bremgarten on pages 159 to 164. These containers show with its front hollow columns great stability on and have in practice for storing Screws, nuts or other individual parts in workshops but also excellently proven in the office area. The only disadvantage is that these containers are relatively bulky and therefore during transport or storage of unused containers takes up a lot of space to take. Two containers can be reversed and twisted partially pushed together to save space when they are however, must be stacked in large numbers stable and orderly storage is hardly possible.

Ferner ist aus US-A-4,007,839 ein stapelbarer Behälter der obengenannten Art bekannt, der so ausgestaltet ist, dass er über die ganze Länge horizontal in einen anderen gleichen Behälter hineingeschoben werden kann. Dazu ist der Behälter mit einer oberen Tragschiene mit einer Erhöhung und einer zusätzlichen Nase und mit einer darunterliegenden Tragschiene mit endseitigen Erhöhungen und Nasen versehen. Der Boden des Behälters ist mit einer nach unten gekrümmten, nach aussen vorstehenden Tragrand versehen, der entsprechend den erwähnten Erhöhungen Einbuchtungen aufweist. Wie aus den Querschnitten in den Figuren 4 bis 6 ersichtlich, sind die Tragschienen und der Rand äusserst aufwendig und weisen viele unregelmässigen Kanten und Ecken auf, so dass ein solcher Behälter schwierig zu reinigen ist. Wie aus der Beschreibung mit Bezug auf den Figuren 10 bis 16 hervorgeht, sind die Behälter auch nicht sehr einfach stapeloder schachtelbar.Furthermore, a stackable container is known from US-A-4,007,839 Known above type, which is designed so that it horizontally along the entire length in another same Container can be pushed in. This is the container with an upper mounting rail with a riser and one additional nose and with an underlying mounting rail provided with end elevations and noses. The Bottom of the container is with a downward curved, provided on the outside protruding edge, the corresponding the elevations mentioned has indentations. How can be seen from the cross sections in FIGS. 4 to 6, the mounting rails and the edge are extremely complex and have many irregular edges and corners, so that such a container is difficult to clean. As from the Description with reference to Figures 10 to 16, the containers are not very easy to stack or nestable.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter der vorgenannten Art zu schaffen, der bei ausreichender Stabilität eine gegenüber der normalen Stapelung platzsparende und stabile Lagerung von unbenutzten Behältern ermöglicht und einfach zu handhaben ist. The present invention is therefore based on the object to create a container of the aforementioned type, the one with sufficient stability compared to the normal Stacking space-saving and stable storage of unused Containers enabled and easy to use.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Behälter mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This task is accomplished by a container with the characteristics of claim 1 solved.

Die Erfindung hat den grossen Vorteil, dass die Behälter auf die gesamte Höhe der Zugriffsöffnung verschachtelt werden können, so dass sich eine enorme Platzersparnis für die Lagerung von unbenutzten Behältern ergibt. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Stützelemente des tragfähigen Randes als Längsrippen ausgebildet sind, da diese den Seitenwänden eine zusätzliche Stabilität in Längsrichtung verleihen. Um eine Verstärkung im Bereich der Zugriffsöffnung zu erhalten, sind diese Längsrippen zweckmässig nach unten mit einem verbreiterten Ansatz versehen. Damit die gestapelten Behälter gegenüber einander nicht verschoben werden können, sind vorteilhafterweise Nasen auf den Längsrippen im Bereich der Zugriffsöffnung vorgesehen. Damit die verschachtelten Behälter deckungsgleich in einem stabilen Turm angeordnet werden, hat es sich in der Praxis bewährt, wenn die Rückwände ebenfalls stufenförmig ausgebildet sind. Ferner hat es sich als äusserst vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn unterhalb des stufenförmigen Absatzes ein einwärts gerichteter breiter Vorsprung vorgesehen ist, wodurch rippenförmige Verstärkungen in der Rückwand gebildet sind.The invention has the great advantage that the container be nested to the full height of the access opening can, so that an enormous space saving for the Storage of unused containers results. Particularly advantageous it is when the supporting elements of the load-bearing Edge are designed as longitudinal ribs, since these are the side walls give additional stability in the longitudinal direction. A reinforcement in the area of the access opening to maintain, these longitudinal ribs are expedient downwards with a broadened approach. So that the stacked Containers cannot be moved towards each other can, are advantageously lugs on the longitudinal ribs provided in the area of the access opening. So that the nested Containers congruent in a stable tower be ordered, it has proven itself in practice if the rear walls are also stepped. Further it has proven extremely beneficial if below of the step-shaped heel is an inward-looking one wide projection is provided, whereby rib-shaped Reinforcements are formed in the rear wall.

Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung folgen aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen und aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, in welcher die Erfindung anhand eines in den schematischen Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert wird. Es zeigt:

Further advantages of the invention follow from the dependent patent claims and from the following description, in which the invention is explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the schematic drawings. It shows:
Fig. 1
an open container in perspective,
Fig. 2
seen the same container from the bottom,

two similar containers in a nested condition.

In den Figuren sind für dieselben Elemente jeweils dieselben Bezugszeichen verwendet worden und erstmalige Erklärungen betreffen alle Figuren, wenn nicht ausdrücklich anders erwähnt. In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist ein offener Behälter 1 perspektivisch von oben bzw. von unten dargestellt, welcher für die Lagerung von Schrauben, Muttern und sonstigem Kleinmaterial in Werkstätten oder dergleichen benutzt wird. An der Oberseite 2 ist der Behälter 1 offen mit einem tragfähigen Rand 3 ausgebildet. In der Vorderwand 4 ist eine Zugriffsöffnung 5 vorgesehen, die in etwa über die halbe Höhe und über die gesamte Breite des Behälters 1 verläuft. Die Seitenwände 6 und 7 des Behälters 1 sind stufenförmig ausgebildet, d.h. sie weisen eine nach innen vorspringenden Stufe oder Absatz 8 auf, so dass im unteren Bereich 9 des Behälters 1 eine Art zurückversetzte Wanne 10 verbleibt, und der obere Bereich 11 des Behälters 1 einen verbreiterten Aufsatz 12 ergibt. Auch die Rückwand 13 des Behälters 1 ist dementsprechend stufenförmig mit einer Stufe oder Absatz 14 ausgebildet, die jedoch weniger breit als die Stufe 8 ist. Die Seitenwände 6 und 7 weisen ferner im oberen Bereich 9 je eine nach innen vorspringende Längsrippe 15 und 16 auf, die gegen die Vorderwand 4 hin nach unten mit einem Ansatz 17 verbreitert sind. Dadurch entsteht zwischen der Stufe 8 und dem Ansatz 17 der Längsrippe 15 eine schlitzförmige Aussparung 18. Diese verbreiterten Ansätze 17 der Längsrippen 15 und 16 dienen ausserdem als Verstärkung der Seitenwände 6 und 7 im Bereich der Zugriffsöffnung 5.The same elements are used for the same elements in the figures Reference numerals have been used and first-time explanations affect all figures, if not expressly different mentioned. An open container 1 is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 which is shown in perspective from above or from below for the storage of screws, nuts and other Small material is used in workshops or the like. At the top 2, the container 1 is open with a load-bearing Edge 3 formed. In the front wall 4 is one Access opening 5 is provided, which is about half Height and extends over the entire width of the container 1. The side walls 6 and 7 of the container 1 are step-shaped trained, i.e. they have an inward protrusion Level or paragraph 8 so that in the lower area 9 of the Container 1 remains a kind of recessed tub 10, and the upper region 11 of the container 1 a widened Article 12 results. The rear wall 13 of the container 1 is accordingly stepped with a step or paragraph 14 trained, but less wide than the step 8 is. The side walls 6 and 7 also have in the upper region 9 each have an inwardly projecting longitudinal rib 15 and 16 on, against the front wall 4 down with a Approach 17 are broadened. This creates between the Stage 8 and the approach 17 of the longitudinal rib 15 a slit-shaped Recess 18. These widened approaches 17 the Longitudinal ribs 15 and 16 also serve to reinforce the Side walls 6 and 7 in the area of the access opening 5.

Im Bodenbereich 19 des Behälters 1 ist ein nach aussen vorstehender, umlaufender Rand 20 vorgesehen. Wie in Figur 2 erkennbar, ist dieser Rand 20 im Bereich der Rückwand 13 durch einen nach innen vorstehenden breiten Vorsprung 21 unterbrochen. Dadurch sind seitlich vom Vorsprung 21 rippenförmige Verstärkungen 22 in der Rückwand 13 gebildet. Auf den Längsrippen 15 und 16 sind je eine kleine Nase 23 im Bereich der Zugriffsöffnung 5 vorgesehen. Ferner ist die Vorderwand 4 mit einer Anschrägung 24 zum Bodenbereich 19 des Behälters 1 hin versehen. Ebenfalls ist ein Etikettenfach 25 in der Vorderwand 4 vorgesehen, um den Inhalt des Behälters 1 mit einer Etikette zu kennzeichnen.In the bottom area 19 of the container 1 there is an outwardly projecting circumferential edge 20 is provided. As in Figure 2 This edge 20 can be seen in the area of the rear wall 13 by an inwardly projecting wide projection 21 interrupted. As a result, 21 are rib-shaped laterally from the projection Reinforcements 22 formed in the rear wall 13. On the longitudinal ribs 15 and 16 are a small nose 23 provided in the area of the access opening 5. Furthermore, the Front wall 4 with a bevel 24 to the floor area 19 of the container 1 provided. There is also a label compartment 25 provided in the front wall 4 to the content of the Label container 1 with a label.

In Figur 3 sind zwei solchen Behälter 1 und 1' in gestapeltem Zustand gezeigt. Wie ersichtlich, ist durch die Anschrägung 24 ein ausgezeichneter Zugriff durch die Zugriffsöffnung 5' des unteren Behälters 1' gegeben. Die kleinen Nasen 23' auf den Längsrippen 15' und 16' des unteren Behälters 1' verhindern, dass der obere Behälter 1 nach vorne verschoben werden kann, d.h. der umlaufende Rand 20 des oberen Behälters 1 ist zwischen den Nasen 23' und der Rückwand 13' des unteren Behälters 1' fixiert.In Figure 3, two such containers 1 and 1 'are stacked Condition shown. As can be seen from the bevel 24 excellent access through the access opening 5 'of the lower container 1' given. The small noses 23 'on the longitudinal ribs 15' and 16 'of the lower one Container 1 'prevent the upper container 1 from can be moved at the front, i.e. the peripheral edge 20 of the upper container 1 is between the lugs 23 'and Back wall 13 'of the lower container 1' fixed.

In Figur 4 sind dieselben Behälter 1 und 1' in verschacheltem, d.h. in ineinander geschobenenen Zustand gezeigt. Klar erkennbar ist, dass der umlaufende Rand 20 des oberen Behälters 1 auf der Stufe 8' des unteren Behälters 1' steht. Die Längsrippen 15 und 16 sind im wesentlichen von oben gesehen deckungsgleich mit der Stufe 8. Durch die schlitzförmigen Aussparungen 18' ist der umlaufende Rand 20 des oberen Behälters 1 zwangsgeführt, so dass die verschachtelten Behälter 1 und 1' nach oben hin fixiert sind. Diese Behälter 1 und 1' lassen sich somit nur durch Auseinanderschieben trennen. Auf diese Weise kann eine ganze Reihe von Behältern 1 platzsparend zusammengestellt werden, wobei sich ein stabiler Turm bildet, der sehr gut transportierbar ist.In Figure 4, the same containers 1 and 1 'are in a nested, i.e. shown in a nested state. Clear It can be seen that the peripheral edge 20 of the upper container 1 stands on level 8 'of the lower container 1'. The longitudinal ribs 15 and 16 are essentially seen from above congruent with level 8. Through the slit-shaped Recesses 18 'is the peripheral edge 20 of the top Container 1 positively guided, so that the nested Containers 1 and 1 'are fixed upwards. These containers 1 and 1 'can therefore only be pushed apart separate. In this way, a whole range of containers 1 can be put together to save space, whereby forms a stable tower that is very easy to transport.

Die Behälter 1 können auch wahlweise gestapelt und verschachtelt zu einem stabilen Turm zusammengestellt werden, so dass unbenutzte Behälter 1 oder als blosse Vorratsbehälter ohne direkten Zugriff gemischt mit gefüllten Behältern 1 angeordnet sind. Wegen der stabilen Stapelung und/oder Verschachtelung lassen sich solche Türme auch sehr einfach ohne grosse Umstellungen auseinander nehmen.The containers 1 can also be optionally stacked and nested put together to form a stable tower so that unused container 1 or as a mere storage container mixed with filled containers without direct access 1 are arranged. Because of the stable stacking and / or Such towers are also very easy to nest take apart without major changes.
