Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a foldable container according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Containers are known in the art which have an essentially rectangular bottom and four collapsible side walls, one on each side of the bottom, which are folded inwards towards the bottom when the container is in a collapsed state.
  • Locking mechanisms for attaching the adjacent side walls to each other when the container is in an erected state are also known.
  • One example of such a locking mechanism is shown in DE 10137328, wherein a lock setting unit is arranged next to a grip hole in the short end side walls and the ends of which are arranged in slits in stiffening elements on the side wall. By pressing the lock setting unit upwards from below, the locking is released and the user of the container can fold the side walls towards the bottom of the container.
  • this known locking mechanism has a number of drawbacks. For instance, it is quite likely that a user would release the locking by accident when gripping the container and by mistake gripping the actuating element instead of the grip hole.
  • the foldable container has
  • the locking lever is preferably a double-armed locking lever being rotatably connected between its ends on a pivot pin defining said axis and having locking elements on each end.
  • the use of the pivot pin is a simple and efficient manner of providing a swingable lever, and the double-armed lever has the advantage of being able to release the locking elements on both ends of the locking lever when a user presses down on one portion of the lever at a distance from the pivot pin.
  • the locking lever is preferably connected to the pivot pin substantially halfway from its ends. This gives the advantage of an efficient lifting and lowering, respectively, of the two ends of the lever so that the locking elements are released.
  • one of the ends of the double-armed locking lever is situated closer to said bottom wall than its other end when the locking lever is in its unlocking position. This gives the advantage of making it possible to release both ends of the lever at the same time.
  • the locking surface or each locking surface is formed on one side of a lock lug projecting from its associated second side wall. This is a simple and efficient manner of providing the locking surface.
  • the side surface of the lock lug opposite to the locking surface can form a chamfered guiding surface for moving the locking element from its rest position to its unlocking position when moving said first side wall from its folded to its erected position for guiding the locking element past the locking lug and into engagement with the locking surface.
  • the locking element can be tapered in the direction away from the engagement surface for presenting a narrow engagement line engaging said guiding surface. This gives the advantage of further facilitating the moving of the locking elements on the guiding surfaces when erecting the side walls and making it easier for the user to erect the side walls and lock them in the erected position.
  • the second sidewalls preferably have stop surfaces for engagement with the first sidewalls in the erected position of the sidewalls when the locking elements engage with the locking surfaces. This ensures that the first side walls are securely positioned in their erected position and that they cannot be folded outwards from the bottom.
  • a foldable container 4 is shown.
  • the container has four side walls 5, 6 and a bottom wall 11.
  • Two first side walls 5 are arranged opposite each other, and between the first side walls 5, two opposite second side walls 6 are arranged.
  • the side walls 5 and 6 are hingedly attached to the bottom 11 of the container so that they can be folded down towards the bottom 11.
  • the container 4 is provided with a locking device which consists of a locking lever 1 mounted on each of the first side walls 5 and lock lugs 7 arranged on each of the adjacent second side walls 6.
  • the lever 1 is a double-armed lever and is rotatably mounted on a pivot pin 12 which defines an axis A, which is perpendicular to the first side wall 5, as shown in Fig. 6.
  • Fig. 1 the lever 1 is shown in more detail and separate from the rest of the container 4.
  • the lever has spring elements 3 and locking elements 2 which have engagement surfaces 2a.
  • the projections 7 each have a bevelled or chamfered guiding surface 7a and a locking surface 7b.
  • stop surfaces 10 are provided on the second side walls 6, which extend around the corners of the container 4 to provide a stop for the first side walls 5 when in erected position.
  • the lever 1 has a flattened portion 8 and the side wall 5 is provided with a cut out 9 on the edge remote from the connection with the bottom, which makes it easy for the user to reach the flattened portion 8 with for instance his or her thumb.
  • the lever 1 can have two flattened portions 8, one on each side of the crossing point of the axis A with the lever 1.
  • the user presses down the lever 1 at a location at a distance from the pivot pin 12, through which the axis A extends.
  • the user presses down the lever at the flattened portion 8.
  • the end of the lever closest to the pressed down flattened portion 8 and the locking elements 2 thereon are moved downwards.
  • the locking elements 2 no longer are locked behind the projections 7, since the engagement surfaces 2a slide down below the locking surfaces 7a and are no longer engaged with these.
  • both ends of the side wall 5 are free and the side wall is free to move inwards and be folded towards the bottom 11 of the container 4.
  • the user then folds the side walls 5 towards the bottom 11 of the container, and thereafter folds the side walls 6 towards the bottom of the container 4 on top of the side walls 5.
  • the locking element 2 is tapered in the direction away from the engagement surface 2a which further facilitates the moving of the locking elements 2 since this provides a narrow engagement line engaging the guiding surface 7a.
  • Fig. 3 the container 4 is shown with the locking elements 2 in a locking position behind the projections 7.
  • the spring elements 3 ensure that the locking elements 2 are biased towards their rest position, in which the locking surfaces 7a are engaged with the engagement surfaces 2a when the side walls are erected, so that the user does not have to make any manipulations of the lever 1 to bring the locking elements 2 into locking position.
  • the lever and the container are preferably made of a plastic material. Further, the spring elements are preferably made of a slightly flexible plastic material.
  • a foldable container has an essentially rectangular bottom wall 11 to which four side walls 5, 6 are moveably attached for movement between a folded position adjacent the bottom wall and an erected position.
  • Locking devices are used for locking adjacent side walls to each other.
  • the locking devices comprise a movably mounted locking lever 1 on one side wall with a locking element 7 for cooperation with a locking surface 7b on the adjacent sidewall 6.
  • the locking lever 1 is movable between a rest position and an unlocking position and biased towards the rest position by means of a spring element 3.
  • the locking lever 1 is swingably attached to its associated side wall 5 for swinging around an axis A essentially perpendicular to this side wall during the movement between the rest and unlocked positions.
