Definitions
- the invention relates to a container for flat objects in a standing position according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the mail items are lifted out of the container, poured out, or the container is turned upside down and lifted off the mail items
- Mail containers required for this are described in EP 0 109 325, FR 2 621 297. These are made of plastic (PP) and have various stiffeners in order to achieve the required dimensional stability. These containers are designed so that they are aligned with each other and in the same way can be stacked one inside the other with an orientation rotated by 180 ° about the vertical axis.
- PP plastic
- a corresponding container for flat objects, such as letters, in a standing position has also been described in DE 94 17 521 UI.
- roller shutter Also known is a container with an end wall designed as a roller shutter, which can be moved downwards into an intermediate space in the floor (DE 92 11 696 UI). This roller shutter solution is relatively heavy and takes up a lot of space.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a container for flat objects in a standing position, with at least one end wall that can be moved downwards into an intermediate space in the floor, which is lightweight and space-saving compared to the prior art is.
- the material web consists of a flexible, thin material web that is stretched between two bars at its ends perpendicular to the longitudinal walls.
- the lower bar is guided and movable in the space in the floor and the upper bar is displaceable between the floor and the upper end along the front boundary of the longitudinal walls.
- the rods are guided at their lateral ends on each longitudinal side of the container together in a holding mechanism which is pivotally attached to the longitudinal wall and holds the material web.
- the holding mechanism consists of rotatable levers, on the ends of which are directed towards the front of the container, the upper rod is attached. They are rotatably supported on the lateral longitudinal walls approximately in the middle of their longitudinal direction, the two axes of rotation being aligned and perpendicular to the longitudinal walls. With the other ends of the lever is sagging elongated tension elements that are on the ground are deflected, the lower rod is connected so that the material web (s) remain / remain stretched over their length in every swivel position.
- tension elements are elastic and are under a prestress.
- the lateral longitudinal walls advantageously have stops.
- the lateral longitudinal walls have recesses on the outside in which the levers are rotatably recessed and which can be closed by outer covers. This avoids that the holding mechanism at its
- the material web (s) has a grip recess on the upper rod. This allows the top bar to be used as a handle.
- a plurality of thin, flexible material webs are attached to the two rods at a distance from one another.
- the bottom has lugs on the end face between the material webs, which protrude into the slots between the material webs and thus prevent objects from being drawn in between the material web and the floor when the container is opened.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective schematic representation of the container with a view obliquely from below onto the floor, front end side closed, rear end side open, lower outer cover of the floor and outer cover of the lateral longitudinal walls not shown;
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective schematic illustration of the container with a view obliquely from above onto the container opening, front end side closed, rear end side open;
- FIG. 3 shows a partial view perpendicular to a longitudinal side wall of the container, the front side closed;
- FIG. 4 shows a partial view perpendicular to a lateral longitudinal wall of the container, front side opened.
- the container has two lateral longitudinal walls 10 and two end walls.
- the end walls can be opened and closed independently of each other. It is opened by simply pushing down the front wall and closing by simply pulling up the front wall.
- An end wall consists of three wide, parallel, flexible thin material webs 1, which are stretched between two bars 2, 3 at their ends running perpendicular to the longitudinal walls 10.
- the upper rod 2 is designed as a handle bar. In the middle of the handle bar, the middle material web has a corresponding handle recess (12).
- the lower rod 3 is located in an intermediate space in the floor.
- the handlebar is on the side Ends attached to two parallel levers 4, which are rotatably mounted on coaxial axes 5, perpendicular to the side longitudinal walls 10.
- the levers 4 are sunk into recesses (11), the boundaries of which form stop surfaces 7 for the levers 4, the position of the stop surfaces 7 being selected such that the handle bar is in the upper position just below the upper edge of the lateral longitudinal walls 10 and is in the lower position below the contact surface of the floor.
- the stops are symmetrical to a horizontal plane through the axis of rotation 5.
- the stop surfaces 7, the diameter of the handlebar and the thickness of the base are designed such that the handlebar lies in the region below the inner surface of the container base and above the outer surface of the container base, when the front of the container is open.
- the longitudinal walls 10 have circular-arc-shaped extensions which extend beyond the floor and prevent objects from sliding through the gap between the longitudinal wall 10 and the material web 1.
- the levers 4 Seen in the direction of the axis of rotation 5, the levers 4 form with the material webs 1 stretched between the handle bar / upper rod 2 and the lower rod 3 and the pulling elements 6 a "closed unit" with an approximately constant arc length, which only when opening and closing the container is subject to slight fluctuations, which are compensated for by the elastic traction elements 6.
- the material webs 1, by means of which the end face of the container is closed, are drawn into the intermediate space by the traction elements 6 when the container is opened on the lower rod 3 drawn into the ground.
- the material webs 1 When opening the container, the material webs 1 are pulled out of the space in the floor and up again by the handle bar.
- the locking mechanism's own locking force due to friction is insufficient, e.g. B. forces act on the handlebar by a tilting stack of flat objects, it is advantageous to provide an additional lock.
- This can e.g. B. in the form of spring-loaded ball snaps, which engage in the closed position on one or both levers 2,3.
