Abstract

The object of the invention is to provide letter trays for filing documents, so that a plurality of letter trays can be stacked inside and upon one another, occupy little space and when stacked form a vertical stack. This is achieved by letter trays comprising a bottom, two side walls, a rear wall and a front opening opposite the rear wall with outwardly inclined side walls and outwardly oriented supports arranged on the front, outwardly inclined edges of the side walls, said supports being supported on the upper edge of the side walls of a letter tray that acts as a support, and said supports forming an angle with the approximately horizontal upper edge of the side walls which is smaller than 90°.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft aufeinander und ineinander stapelbare Briefkörbe für die Ablage von Schriftstücken gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to each other and stackable baskets for the filing of documents according to the preamble of claim 1.

Briefkörbe dieser Art werden in Büros zur Erleichterung der Briefablage eingesetzt. Sie sind in beliebiger Höhe aufeinander stapelbar, wobei bei den bekannten Briefkörben der obere Briefkorb mit seinem Boden auf den Oberkanten der Seitenwände und der Rückwand des unteren Briefkorbes aufliegt. Eine vordere Wand fehlt, da hier der Eingriff in die Briefkörbe angeordnet ist.Baskets of this type are used in offices to facilitate the letter tray. They are stackable at any height, in the known baskets of the upper basket with its bottom rests on the upper edges of the side walls and the rear wall of the lower letter basket. A front wall is missing, as here the engagement is arranged in the baskets.

Nachteilig bei den bekannten Briefkörben ist allerdings, dass diese gerade durch ihre Stapelbarkeit einen großen Raumbedarf haben. Das heißt, die bei der Verwendung als Briefablage gewünschte Stapelbarkeit der Briefkörbe erweist sich beim Transport und bei der Lagerung derartiger Briefkörbe als großer Nachteil, da beispielsweise beim Versand der Briefkörbe der Verpackungs- und Versandaufwand unangemessen groß ist.A disadvantage of the known baskets, however, that they have just by their stackability a lot of space. That is, the stackability of the baskets desired when used as a letter tray proves to be a great disadvantage during transport and storage of such baskets, as for example, when shipping the baskets of packaging and shipping costs is unreasonably large.

In der Gebrauchsmusterschrift G 8513661.1 ist ein stapelbarer Briefkorb offenbart, bei dem die oben genannten Nachteile ausgeräumt werden sollen. Es ist hierfür ein Briefkorb offenbart, dessen senkrechte seitliche Wandungen an ihrem hinteren an der senkrechten Rückwand anstoßenden Ende in ihrer Höhe verringert sind. Dies ermöglicht ein ineinander stecken von jeweils 2 um 180° zueinander verdrehten Briefkörben dieser Art, wobei beide Bodenplatten nach außen weisen. Hierdurch läßt sich eine Verringerung des Platzbedarfs um etwa 50 % erreichen.In the utility model G 8513661.1 a stackable basket is disclosed, in which the above-mentioned disadvantages are to be eliminated. It is disclosed for this purpose a letter box whose vertical side walls are reduced in height at their rear abutting the vertical rear wall end. This allows a nest of each of two 2 by 180 ° twisted letter baskets of this kind, with both bottom plates facing outward. As a result, a reduction in space requirements by about 50% can be achieved.

Hierbei ist allerdings nachteilig, dass sich lediglich zwei Briefkörbe ineinander stecken lassen. Das heißt, bei einer größeren Menge an beispielsweise zu lagernden Briefkörben würden diese immer in Einheiten von zwei Briefkörben übereinander gestapelt, wobei diese Einheiten nicht ineinander greifen und dadurch leicht gegeneinander verrutschen können. Auch sind die zwei ineinander gesteckten Briefkörbe gegeneinander sowohl in Längs- als auch in Querrichtung frei verschiebbar. Hierdurch würden derart aufgestapelte Briefkörbe lediglich einen sehr losen Stapel bilden, der einen Transport dieses Stapels nahezu unmöglich macht.However, it is disadvantageous that only two baskets can be put together. That is, with a larger amount of, for example, to be stored baskets they would always be stacked in units of two baskets on top of each other, and these units would not mesh with each other and could easily slip against each other. Also, the two nesting baskets are freely displaceable against each other both in the longitudinal and in the transverse direction. As a result, such stacked baskets would only form a very loose stack, which makes a transport of this stack almost impossible.

Desweiteren ist nachteilig, dass durch die offenbarten Briefkörbe zwar eine Reduzierung des Stapelvolumens erreicht wird, dieses aber auf unter 50% beschränkt ist.Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that a reduction of the stack volume is achieved by the disclosed baskets, but this is limited to less than 50%.

Eine Vermeidung dieser Nachteile wurde in der DE 102 06 516.0 "Ineinander und aufeinander stapelbare Briefkörbe" offenbart. Die hier offenbarten Briefkörbe sind dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Seitenwände nach außen geneigt sind und an den vorderen nach außen geneigten Kanten der Seitenwände am Eingriff seitlich nach außen hin gerichtete Abstützfortsätze zur Auflage auf der Oberkante der Seitenwände eines als Auflage dienenden Briefkörbes angeordnet sind.An avoidance of these disadvantages was in the DE 102 06 516.0 "Into each other and stackable baskets" revealed. The baskets disclosed herein are characterized in that the side walls are inclined outwardly and are arranged on the front outwardly inclined edges of the side walls on the outwardly laterally outwardly directed Abstützfortsätze to rest on the upper edge of the side walls of serving as a support letterbox.

Nachteilig bei dieser Erfindung ist allerdings, daß die Briefkörbe immer leicht versetzt aufeinander gestapelt werden, also der durch die Briefkörbe gebildete Turm zur Ablage von Dokumenten nicht lotrecht steht, sondern eine Neigung aufweist. Dies ist insbesondere unerwünscht bei der Verwendung der Briefkörbe in Schränken und Regalen, da durch den Versatz der Briefkörbe der Platzbedarf bezogen auf die Tiefe mit jedem aufgestapelten Briefkorb zunimmt, so daß die Höhe eines aus Briefkörben gebildeten Turmes durch die Tiefe beispielsweise eines Schrankes oder Regals beschränkt ist.A disadvantage of this invention, however, is that the baskets are always stacked slightly offset from each other, so the tower formed by the baskets for filing documents is not perpendicular, but has a tendency. This is particularly undesirable in the use of baskets in cabinets and shelves, as increased by the offset of the baskets of the space based on the depth of each stacked basket, so that the height of a tower formed from baskets limited by the depth of, for example, a cabinet or shelf is.

Den gleichen Nachteil weist auch die FR-PS 1.549..479 auf, in der Papierablagen offenbart sind. Diese weisen sowohl einen Versatz in der Tiefe auf, als auch eine Neigung der Bodenplatte. Es sind hierfür in dieser Schrift in ihrer Tiefe versetzt stapelbare Ablagefächer offenbart, die am vorderen Eingriff rechtwinklig nach unten weisende Beine aufweisen, mit denen sich die Ablagefächer auf dem jeweils als Auflage dienenden unteren Ablagefach in korrespondierenden Aussparungen auf der Oberkante der Seitenwände abstützen. Im hinteren Bereich der Papierablagen fehlt ein solcher Fuß, weshalb ein auf eine solche auf einer ebenen Fläche aufgestellte Papierablage nach hinten abfällt. In die Höhe gestapelt würde sich daher ein geneigter Turm bilden, der zudem einen Versatz der jeweils oberen Papierablage zur darunter angeordneten nach hinten aufweist. Eine Nutzung dieser Papierablagen als vertikaler Turm, wie dies häufig gewünscht ist, kann so nicht realisiert werden.The same disadvantage is also the FR-PS 1,549,479 on, are disclosed in the paper trays. These have both an offset in depth, as well as an inclination of the bottom plate. There are in this document offset in depth offset stackable storage compartments disclosed that at the front engagement at right angles down facing legs, with where the storage compartments are supported on the respectively serving as a support lower storage compartment in corresponding recesses on the upper edge of the side walls. In the rear area of the paper trays, such a foot is missing, which is why a deposited on such a flat surface paper tray falls backwards. Stacked in the height would therefore form an inclined tower, which also has an offset of each upper paper tray to the rear located below. A use of these paper trays as a vertical tower, as is often desired, can not be realized so.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung vor diesem Hintergrund ist die Schaffung von aufeinander und ineinander stapelbaren Briefkörben für die Ablage von Schriftstücken, welche eine optimale Reduzierung des Platzbedarfs der Briefkörbe durch sicheres ineinander Stapeln bei gleichzeitiger vertikaler Stapelbarkeit der Briefkörbe ermöglichen.The object of the invention against this background is the creation of stackable and stackable baskets for the storage of documents, which allow optimal reduction of the space requirement of the baskets by safe nesting with simultaneous vertical stackability of the baskets.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst durch aufeinander und ineinander stapelbare Briefkörbe für die Ablage von Schriftstücken bestehend aus einem Boden, zwei Seitenwänden, einer Rückwand und einem gegenüber der Rückwand angeordneten vorderen Eingriff in den Briefkorb mit nach außen geneigten Seitenwänden und an den vorderen nach außen geneigten Kanten der Seitenwände am Eingriff nach außen hin gerichteten Abstützfortsätzen zur Auflage auf der Oberkante der Seitenwände eines als Auflage dienenden Briefkörbes, wobei diese Abstützfortsätze einen Winkel mit der in etwa horizontalen Oberkante der Seitenwände bilden, der kleiner als 90° ist.This object is achieved according to claim 1 by stackable and stackable baskets for the storage of documents consisting of a bottom, two side walls, a rear wall and a front wall arranged opposite the rear wall engaging in the basket with outwardly inclined side walls and at the front to the outside inclined edges of the side walls on the outwardly directed support projections for resting on the upper edge of the side walls of serving as a support letterbox, said support extensions form an angle with the approximately horizontal upper edge of the side walls, which is smaller than 90 °.

Durch diese Konstruktion wird erreicht, daß zum einen der Vorteil der platzsparenden Verstauung der Briefkörbe ineinander gestapelt und zum anderen eine vertikale Stapelung aufeinander verwirklicht werden können. Die Briefkörbe werden hierbei in der selben Ausrichtung ineinander gestapelt, das heißt, der Eingriff in den Briefkorb weist bei den aufgestapelten Briefkörben in die selbe Richtung und die Böden der Briefkörbe liegen im gestapelten Zustand aneinander an.By this construction it is achieved that on the one hand, the advantage of space-saving stowage of baskets stacked one inside the other and a vertical stacking can be realized each other. The baskets are hereby stacked in the same orientation, that is, the engagement in the letter basket has in the stacked baskets in the same direction and the bottoms of the baskets are in the stacked state to each other.

Das Aufstapeln der Briefkörbe zu deren Verwendung als Briefablage erfolgt durch das Aufsetzen eines oberen Briefkorbes auf einen unteren mit dessen hinteren Querkante und den Abstützfortsätzen.The stacking of the baskets for their use as a letter tray is done by placing an upper letter on a basket with its lower trailing edge and the Abstützfortsätzen.

Die hintere Querkante des aufgesetzten Briefkorbes liegt hierbei auf der Oberkante der Rückwand des unteren Briefkorbes auf. Es ist hierbei in einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung eine Fixierung auf dieser Oberkante vorgesehen, beispielsweise durch Aussparungen auf der Oberkante, in welche die hintere Querkante des aufliegenden Briefkorbes eingreift, oder durch ein geeignetes unterseitiges Eingreifen der Oberkante in die hintere Querkante. Es sind hierbei eine Vielzahl einfacher Halte- und Eingreifmittel möglich, die nicht abschließend aufgeführt werden.The rear transverse edge of the attached letter basket rests on the upper edge of the rear wall of the lower letter basket. It is in this case provided in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a fixation on this upper edge, for example by recesses on the upper edge, in which engages the rear transverse edge of the resting letter basket, or by a suitable underside engagement of the upper edge in the rear transverse edge. There are a variety of simple holding and engagement possible, which are not listed exhaustively.

Die Abstützfortsätze, die zu beiden Seiten des Eingriffs angeordnet sind, liegen auf den Seitenwandoberkanten auf. Der erfindungsgemäß angestrebte vertikale Aufbau der Briefkörbe übereinander wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Abstützfortsätze in Richtung der Rückwand der Briefkörbe geneigt sind. Der zwischen der in etwa horizontalen Oberkante und dem in etwa vertikalen Abstützfortsatz eingeschlossene Winkel ist somit kleiner als 90°. Dies ermöglicht, daß die Rückwände der Briefkörbe übereinander angeordnet sind.The support extensions, which are arranged on both sides of the engagement, lie on the side wall upper edges. The inventively desired vertical structure of the baskets one above the other is achieved in that the support extensions are inclined in the direction of the rear wall of the baskets. The angle enclosed between the approximately horizontal upper edge and the approximately vertical support extension is thus smaller than 90 °. This allows the back walls of the baskets to be stacked.

In einer vorteilhaften Bauform der Erfindung ist die Rückwand nicht vertikal sondern geringfügig zum Briefkorbinneren geneigt, so daß die Oberkante der Rückwand gegenüber der Unterkante der Rückwand zum Briefkorbinneren hin parallel versetzt ist. So kann der aufgesetzte Briefkorb mit seiner Rückwandunterkante auf der Rückwandoberkante eines anderen Briefkorbes stehen, ohne daß die Briefkörbe dabei schrittweise nach hinten versetzt werden. Die Rückwandunterkante des oberen kann hierbei die Rückwandoberkante des unteren Briefkorbes auch überragen solange dieser Versatz durch das Einrücken der Rückwandoberkante wieder kompensiert wird.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the rear wall is not vertically but slightly inclined to the letter basket interior, so that the upper edge of the rear wall is offset parallel to the lower edge of the rear wall to the letter basket interior. Thus, the attached letter tray with its back edge lower edge stand on the rear wall upper edge of another letter tray, without the baskets are thereby gradually shifted backwards. The rear wall lower edge of the upper can in this case also extend beyond the rear wall upper edge of the lower letter tray as long as this offset is compensated by the engagement of the rear wall upper edge again.

Desweiteren ist es vorteilhaft, dass die aufgesetzten Briefkörbe auf den Oberkanten der unteren Briefkörbe gegen verrutschen fixiert sind, da ansonsten beim Eingriff in die Briefablage diese sich verschiebt. Es sind hierfür verschiedene Möglichkeiten in Ausführungsformen aufgezeigt. Die Abstützfortsätze können die Seitenwandoberkanten mit einer Haltenase außenseitig umgreifen und so den Briefkorb quer zu dessen Längsachse fixieren.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the attached baskets are fixed on the upper edges of the lower baskets against slipping, otherwise this moves when engaging in the letter tray this. For this purpose, various possibilities are shown in embodiments. The support extensions can surround the side wall upper edges with a holding lug on the outside and thus fix the letter box transversely to its longitudinal axis.

Bei einer anderen Bauform weisen die Abstützfortsätze Aussparungen auf, welche an den Seitenwandoberkanten angreifen und so den Briefkorb quer zu seiner Längsachse fixieren.In another design, the Abstützfortsätze recesses, which engage the side wall upper edges and thus fix the letter box transversely to its longitudinal axis.

Bei einer anderen Lösung greifen die Abstützfortsätze in Vertiefungen in den Seitenwandoberkanten ein und fixieren so den Briefkorb in seiner Längsrichtung.In another solution, the support extensions engage in recesses in the side wall upper edges and thus fix the letter basket in its longitudinal direction.
