Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine dosenförmiges Behälterelement vorzugsweise eine Steckdose mit einem Klappdeckelelement zum Öffnen und Verschließen des dosenförmigen Behälterelements gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a can-shaped Container element preferably a socket with a Hinged lid element for opening and closing the can-shaped container element according to the preamble of Claim 1.

Auf solche Art verschließbare dosenförmige Behälterelemente finden ganz allgemein überall dort Verwendung wo eine schnelle und einfache Verschließmöglichkeit gefragt ist, um Verschmutzung des im dosenförmigen Behälterelement aufbewahrten Materials bzw. der dort befindlichen Einbauten zu verhindern. Ein typisches Anwendungsgebiet sind mittels eines Klappdeckelelements verschließbare Steckdosen sowohl für den industriellen als auch für den Hausgebrauch. Um ein Verschmutzen der Steckdose zu verhindern sind diese Steckdosen mittels Klappdeckelelement verschließbar. Das Klappdeckelelement ist dabei mittels einer in einem Federkasten gelagerten Torsionsfeder vorgespannt, die den Klappdeckel in Richtung der Öffnung der Steckdose drückt, so dass ein versehentliches Öffnen des Klappdeckelelements nicht möglich ist. Lässt der Benutzer das Klappdeckelelement aus der geöffneten Stellung los, so wird dieser automatisch an die entsprechende Stirnseite der Steckdose gepresst.In such a way closable can-shaped container elements Generally find use wherever a fast and easy closing option is asked to Pollution of the can-shaped container element stored material or the internals located there prevent. A typical field of application are by means of a Hinged lid element lockable sockets for both industrial as well as for domestic use. To one To prevent soiling the socket are these sockets closed by hinged lid element. The Hinged lid element is by means of a in one Spring box mounted torsion spring biased, the Push hinged lid towards the opening of the socket, so that accidental opening of the hinged lid element not is possible. If the user leaves the hinged lid element from the open position, so this is automatically to the corresponding end of the socket pressed.

Die Lagerung des Klappdeckelelements am Behälterelement erfolgt bei bekannten solchen Kombinationen in vielen Fällen unsymmetrisch und/oder ist sehr filigran ausgeführt. Dies führt dazu, dass die Verbindung zwischen Klappdeckelement und Behälterelement oft zerstört wird und daher nicht mehr verwendet werden kann.The storage of the hinged lid element on the container element takes place with known such combinations in many cases asymmetrical and / or very filigree. This causes the connection between hinged cover element and Container element is often destroyed and therefore not more can be used.

Beispiele für diese filigranen, unsymmetrischen Lagerungen sind etwa der DE 195 40 681 A1 oder der DE 24 56 829 A1 zu entnehmen. Examples of these filigree, asymmetrical bearings are about the DE 195 40 681 A1 or DE 24 56 829 A1 to remove.

Aus der US-A-5 571 023 ist ebenfalls ein dosenförmiges Behälterelement mit Klappdeckel bekannt, dass einen herkömmlichen Aufbau aufweist und sich einer durchgehenden Achse bedient, die als Stützung der für die die Vorspannung bewirkende Torsionsfeder benötigt wird. Dadurch ist der Zusammenbau solcher Behälterelemente unnötig kompliziert.From US-A-5 571 023 is also a can-shaped Container element with hinged lid known that a conventional structure and has a continuous Axis operated as a support for the bias causing torsion spring is needed. This is the result Assembly of such container elements unnecessarily complicated.

Aus der DE 199 03 263 A ist ein dosenförmiges Behälterelement mit Klappdeckel bekannt, welches eine bikonvex geformte Feder zur Herstellung der Vorspannung aufweist. Diese Feder ist jedoch freiliegend und damit sehr exponiert angeordnet und somit anfällig für Verschmutzung.From DE 199 03 263 A is a can-shaped container element known with hinged lid, which is a biconvex shaped spring for producing the bias voltage. This spring is however, exposed and thus very exposed and arranged thus vulnerable to pollution.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein dosenförmiges Behälterelement mit einem Klappdeckelelement der eingangs erwähnten Art vorzuschlagen, das diese Nachteile verhindert und eine sichere, nicht leicht lösbare Verbindung zwischen Klappdeckelelement und Behälterelement schafft.It is therefore the object of the present invention can-shaped container element with a hinged lid element of to propose the kind mentioned at the outset that these disadvantages prevented and a safe, not easily detachable connection creates between hinged lid element and container element.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies durch das kennzeichnende Merkmal des Anspruchs 1 erreicht.This is inventively characterized by the characterizing feature of Claim 1 reached.

Dadurch erfolgt eine symmetrische Lagerung des Klappdeckelelements am Behälterelement, wodurch auch die auftretenden Kräfte stets symmetrisch in die beiden Elemente eingeleitet werden.This results in a symmetrical storage of Hinged lid element on the container element, whereby the occurring forces always symmetrical in the two elements be initiated.

Das kennzeichnende Merkmal des Anspruchs 2 verhindert ein versehentliches Lösen der Klappdeckelelement-Behälterelement Verbindung. Durch die beidseitig jedes Steges angeordneten Achsstummel, kann das Klappdeckelelement auch durch seitliche Belastungen, wie dies beispielsweise durch ein um den Klappdeckel geschlungenes Stromkabel oft geschieht, nicht aus seiner Befestigung am Behälterelement gelöst werden.The characterizing feature of claim 2 prevents a accidental release of the hinged lid element container element Connection. By arranged on both sides of each bridge Axle stub, the hinged lid element can also by lateral Burdens, as for example by a to the Hinged lid looped power cable often happens, not off be solved his attachment to the container element.

Durch das kennzeichnende Merkmal des Anspruchs 3 kann die Torsionsfeder an der Steckdose eingerastet werden, um die nötige Spannung aufzubauen um das Klappdeckelelement zu schließen. By the characterizing feature of claim 3, the Torsion spring can be snapped on the socket to the to build the necessary tension around the hinged lid element shut down.

Durch die Merkmale des Ansprüche 4 und 5 können die Achsstummel leichter in die dafür vorgesehenen Öffnungen des Federkastens bzw. der laschenförmigen Streben eingerastet werden.Due to the features of claims 4 and 5, the Axle stub lighter in the designated openings of the Spring box or the tab-shaped struts engaged become.

Die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 6 verhindern, dass bei eingerasteten Achsstummel diese bei geöffnetem Klappdeckelelement durch Zugbelastung aus ihren Öffnungen rutschen. Die Fasen dienen somit lediglich dem Zusammenbau, nicht aber dem Lösen der Verbindung Klappdeckelelement Behälterelement.The characterizing features of claim 6 prevent that when the stub axle is locked, this is open Hinged lid element by tensile load from their openings slip. The chamfers serve only for assembly, but not the release of the connection hinged lid element Container element.

In Fig.1 bis Fig.4 ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Klappdeckelelement 1 mit Dichtungsaufnahme 2 und Betätigungshilfe 3 dargestellt. Weiters ist ein Federkasten 4, welcher eine Federkammer 5 einschließt, vorgesehen. Der Federkasten 4 weist eine Öffnung 6 auf, die direkt in die Federkammer 5 führt, die durch einen im wesentlichen zylindrischen Führungsteil 7 gebildet ist und deren stirnseitige Wände zylindrische Öffnungen 8,9 aufweisen, die auch unterschiedlichen Durchmesser haben können. Der Federkasten 4 weist weiters an jeder seiner beiden Längsseiten einander gegenüberliegende Schlitze 11,12 auf. Ein weitere Schlitz 10 wird durch einen in die Öffnung 6 ragenden, zungenförmigen Steg 31 der bis auf einen Abstand an die gegenüberliegende Seite der Öffnung 6 heranreicht, gebildet. Der zungenförmige Steg 31 ist einstückig mit dem Federkasten 4 ausgeführt und bildet gleichzeitig einen Teil der Begrenzung der Öffnung 6.In Fig.1 to Fig.4 is an inventive Hinged cover element 1 with seal holder 2 and Actuating aid 3 shown. Furthermore, one is Spring box 4, which encloses a spring chamber 5, intended. The spring box 4 has an opening 6, the directly into the spring chamber 5 leads by a in the essential cylindrical guide member 7 is formed and whose end walls have cylindrical openings 8,9, which can also have different diameters. Of the Spring box 4 points further on each of its two long sides Slots 11,12 lying opposite one another. Another Slot 10 is projected through an opening 6 in the tongue-shaped web 31 of the up to a distance to the opposite side of the opening 6, formed. The tongue-shaped web 31 is integral with the spring box. 4 executed while forming part of the limit the opening 6.

Zusätzlich sind rechts und links des Federkastens 4 zwei entlang ihrer Kanten mit Fasen 33 versehene, laschenförmige Streben 14,15 angeordnet, die durch zwei schlitzförmige Ausnehmungen 16,17 vom Federkasten 4 getrennt sind. Die beiden laschenförmigen Streben 14,15 weisen zwei zylindrische Öffnungen 18,19 auf, die mit den zylindrischen Öffnungen 8,9 des Federkastens 4 konzentrisch ausgerichtet sind.In addition, right and left of the spring box 4 are two along their edges with bevels 33 provided, tab-shaped Struts 14,15 arranged by two slit-shaped Recesses 16,17 are separated from the spring box 4. The two strap-shaped struts 14,15 have two cylindrical Openings 18,19 which, with the cylindrical openings 8,9 of the spring box 4 are concentrically aligned.

Fig.5 zeigt ein als Steckdose 20 ausgeführtes dosenförmiges Behälterelement, dessen eine Stirnseite mit einem Klappdeckelelement 1 verschließbar ist. An der Stirnseite sind zwei Stege 21,22, die jeweils zu beiden Seiten zylindrische Achsstummel 23,24 aufweisen, angeordnet. Die Durchmesser der Achsstummel 23,24 sind auf die Durchmesser der zylindrischen Öffnungen 8,9 des Federkastens 4 bzw. auf die Öffnungen 18,19 der laschenförmigen Streben 14,15 abgestimmt. Sowohl die Kanten der Streben 14,15 als auch die Achsstummel 23,24 sind mit Fasen 32 versehen, welche als Anlaufschräge dienen und das Einführen der Achsstummel 23,24 in die schlitzförmigen Ausnehmungen 16,17 und in weiterer Folge in die Öffnungen 8,9 bzw. 18,19 erleichtern. Die Fasen 32 an den Achsstummeln 23,24 sind dabei so ausgerichtet, dass sie vom Element 20,1, je nachdem ob sie am dosenförmigen Behälterelement 20 oder am Klappdeckelelement 1 angeordnet sind, weggerichtet sind. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass bei geöffnetem Klappdeckelelement (1) eine Zugkraft an den Achsstummel 23,24 nur in jenem Bereich des Umfangs angreifen, welche keine Fase aufweisen. Das unbeabsichtigte Lösen der Verbindung kann somit verhindert werden. Die Fase 32 dient somit lediglich dem Zusammenbau von Klappdeckelelement (1) und Behälterelement (20), nicht jedoch dem Lösen der Verbindung. Zwischen den Stegen 21,22 befindet sich eine Anlaufschräge 25 mit einer Rastkante 26.5 shows a designed as a socket 20 can-shaped Container element whose one end face with a Hinged lid element 1 is closed. At the front are two webs 21,22, each cylindrical on both sides Have stub axle 23,24 arranged. The diameter of the Stub axles 23,24 are on the diameter of the cylindrical Openings 8,9 of the spring box 4 and on the openings 18,19 the tab-shaped struts 14,15 tuned. Both the Edges of the struts 14,15 and the stub axles 23,24 are provided with chamfers 32, which serve as a run-on slope and the Inserting the stub axle 23,24 in the slot-shaped Recesses 16,17 and subsequently into the openings 8,9 or 18,19 facilitate. The bevels 32 on the stub axles 23,24 are aligned so that they from the element 20.1, depending after whether they on the can-shaped container element 20 or on Hinged cover element 1 are arranged, directed away are. This has the advantage that when open Hinged cover element (1) a tensile force on the stub axle 23,24 attack only in that area of the circumference, which no chamfer exhibit. The unintentional release of the connection can thus be prevented. The chamfer 32 thus serves only the Assembly of hinged lid element (1) and Container element (20), but not the release of the connection. Between the webs 21,22 there is a run-on slope 25th with a latching edge 26.

Fig.6 zeigt eine Torsionsfeder 27 samt Federschenkel 28 und 29, wobei letzterer einen gebogenen Endbereich 30 aufweist, in entspanntem Zustand.6 shows a torsion spring 27 together with spring legs 28 and 29, the latter having a bent end portion 30, in relaxed state.

In Fig.7 sind eine Steckdose samt Klappdeckel in zusammengebautem Zustand dargestellt. Die Torsionsfeder 27 ist dabei in gespanntem Zustand. Der Federschenkel 29 befindet sich im Schlitz 12. Wird der Klappdeckelteil 1 geschlossen, dreht sich der Federkasten 4 so, dass sich der Federschenkel 29 in geschlossenem Zustand der Klappdeckelteils im Schlitz 11 befindet.In Fig.7 are a socket including hinged lid in assembled state. The torsion spring 27 is while in a stretched state. The spring leg 29 is located in the slot 12. If the hinged lid part 1 is closed, the spring box 4 rotates so that the spring leg 29 in the closed state of the hinged lid part in the slot 11th located.

Die Montage der Torsionsfeder 27 mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Klappdeckelelement 1 und in weiterer folge mit der erfindungsgemäßen Steckdose 20 erfolgt nun folgendermaßen:The assembly of the torsion spring 27 with the invention Hinged cover element 1 and in further consequence with the socket 20 according to the invention is now as follows:

Die Torsionsfeder 27 wird in parallel zur imaginären Drehachse des Klappdeckelelement 1 ausgerichteter Lage lagegerecht mit dem Federschenkel 28 passend zum Schlitz 10 durch die Öffnung 6 in die Federkammer 5 des Federkastens 4 zugeführt. Dabei ist ein leichtes Zusammendrücken der Torsionsfeder 27 erforderlich. Weiters laufen die beiden Drehschenkel 28,29 der Torsionsfeder 27 an den Innenwänden der Öffnung 6 des Federkastens 4 auf, wodurch sich deren Winkel zueinander gegenüber dem entspannten Zustand (Fig.6) verändert und die Torsionsfeder 27 dadurch vorgespannt wird. Mittels seitlichem Druck auf die Torsionsfeder 27 in Richtung der imaginären Drehachse des Klappdeckelelements 1 wird diese unter den zungenförmigen Steg 31 bis auf eine Anschlagfläche 13 der Federkammer 5 geschoben, die durch den kleineren Durchmesser der zylindrischen Öffnung 9 gebildet wird. Alternativ dazu ist vorgesehen, die Öffnung 9 gleich groß auszuführen, wie die Öffnungen 8,18,19, wobei die seitliche Bewegung der Torsionsfeder 27 durch das Einrasten der Federschenkel 28,29 in den Schlitzen 10,11 begrenzt wird. Dadurch wird gleichzeitig der Federschenkel 28 in den Schlitz 10 geschoben. Durch das Eintauchen des Federschenkels 29 in den Schlitz 11 wird die Torsionsfeder 27 lagegerecht fixiert. Der Steg 31 verhindert, dass die Torsionsfeder unter Belastung aus der Federkammer 5 herausspringt. Diese Aufgabe wird normalerweise durch eine Drehachse aus Metall oder Kunststoff gelöst, die jedoch aufgrund des erfindungsgemäßen Steges 31 entfallen kann.The torsion spring 27 is parallel to the imaginary axis of rotation the hinged lid element 1 aligned position in accordance with the spring leg 28 fits the slot 10 through the opening 6 fed into the spring chamber 5 of the spring box 4. It is a slight compression of the torsion spring 27th required. Furthermore, the two rotary legs 28,29 run the Torsion spring 27 on the inner walls of the opening 6 of the Spring box 4, whereby their angle to each other changed compared to the relaxed state (Figure 6) and the Torsion spring 27 is biased thereby. By lateral Pressure on the torsion spring 27 in the direction of the imaginary The axis of rotation of the hinged lid element 1, this is under the tongue-shaped web 31 except for a stop surface 13 of the Spring chamber 5 pushed by the smaller diameter the cylindrical opening 9 is formed. Alternatively, it is provided to perform the same opening 9, as the Openings 8,18,19, wherein the lateral movement of the Torsion spring 27 by the engagement of the spring legs 28,29 is limited in the slots 10,11. This will at the same time the spring leg 28 is pushed into the slot 10. By dipping the spring leg 29 in the slot 11th the torsion spring 27 is fixed in position. The bridge 31 prevents the torsion spring under load from the Spring chamber 5 pops out. This task is usually solved by a rotation axis of metal or plastic, the However, due to the web 31 according to the invention omitted can.

Das Klappdeckelelement 1 wird anschließend mit fixierter Torsionsfeder 27 auf den Steckdosenteil 20 aufgeschoben, wobei der Federschenkel 29 der Torsionsfeder 27 mit dem gebogenen Ende 30 hinter der Rastkante 26 des Steckdosenteils 20 einrastet. Weiters tauchen die beiden Stege 21,22 in die schlitzförmigen Ausnehmungen 16,17 des Klappdeckels 1 zwischen den laschenförmigen Streben 14,15 und dem Federkasten 4 ein, wodurch die laschenförmigen Streben 14,15 und die Stege 21,22 auffedern und die zylindrischen Achsstummel 23,24 in die zylindrischen Öffnungen 8,9 des Federkastens sowie in die zylindrischen Öffnungen 18,19 der laschenförmigen Streben 14,15 einrasten. Um das Einrasten zu erleichtern sind die zylindrischen Achsstummel 23,24 bzw. die Kanten der Streben 14,15 mit Fasen 32,33 wie weiter oben beschrieben, versehen.
