Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a curtain for an open side of a container, wherein the curtain consists of a flexible sheet material, has an approximately rectangular shape and is connectable along its upper edge with the portion of the container opposite this upper edge.
  • Corresponding curtains are known, inter alia, from various transport containers, such as e.g. used for the transport of auto parts in the automotive industry.
  • Parts of a car (passenger car or truck) are manufactured by suppliers and delivered to an appropriate factory or assembly line of an automaker in a timely manner to the planned assembly on a vehicle.
  • the corresponding parts are usually contained in large containers, which in turn have a plurality of subjects, in each of which the respective car parts are taken individually protected.
  • the parts are transported in these containers and the containers are placed directly in close proximity to a corresponding assembly line, so that the assembly personnel can remove the parts directly from the container and mounted on a vehicle.
  • the parts are often housed in individual compartments of a container, which are made of a flexible sheet material, so that the various parts, which are often sensitive or have protruding sharp edges or corners, do not touch each other directly.
  • these compartments are open to at least one side of the container.
  • One or each such side corresponds, for example, to the above-mentioned open side of a container, wherein it may be left out whether, for example for the transport of corresponding containers, additionally a fixed flap or cover for this open side (s) is provided or are.
  • this open side will hereinafter be referred to as a "front side", since it is usually the user-facing side, although of course the present invention includes any corresponding curtain provided for any open side.
  • the container may otherwise have closed side walls (including the rear wall) and / or a closed bottom and a closed upper side, optionally the side walls, the bottom and also the top may be open and the container may otherwise consist of a frame in which the compartments suspended in the form of a coherent insert.
  • the outsides of the compartment compartments effectively form the side walls and top and / or bottom of the container, of course, hybrids are conceivable, for example, the bottom has an additional closed wall, while the side walls and / or the top are in principle open , but there the outer walls of the tray inserts effectively sidewall and / or upper wall or rear wall form.
  • the back is open in the same way as the above-mentioned front and is so far after turning around the container by 180 ° or when the user comes in from the other side, also to be regarded as a "front".
  • the curtain is opened in each case for the loading or the removal of a single or only a few items and then closed again.
  • the curtain When closing the curtain, it is again important that the curtain completely closes the open side of the container and preferably has no folded corners or folds, which may be a part of open to this side compartments, in which or may already be appropriate objects, leaves open.
  • this requires in the previously known curtains of this type that the user not only drops the curtain simply after he was folded back, for example, on the top, but that he also takes care that the curtain forms no wrinkles and not at its edges but completely covers the front of the container. For this, it is often necessary for the user to eliminate corresponding wrinkles or turned edges by gripping the outer edges of the curtain and pulling them into their desired position.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a curtain with the features mentioned above, which can be folded back with appropriate attachment to a well-defined manner on the top of a container and which otherwise when folding back or pulling down the top automatically and automatically closes in a well-defined manner, thereby completely covering the front of the container, without the user having to actively intervene any more than pulling down the curtain from the top of the container or dropping the raised curtain.
  • This object is achieved in that the two lower left and right corner regions of the curtain on average per unit area of a higher weight than the average of the remaining surfaces of the curtain.
  • the curtain When placing the curtain on the top of the container of the frame, the curtain is expediently stored according to the wrinkles forming during lifting. Even when pulling down and dropping the curtain from the top of the container, the curtain according to the invention with a corresponding "wing flap" smooth before the open side of the container.
  • the upper edge and the upper right and left corners of the curtain does not necessarily have to be designed exactly rectangular, but that, for example, the upper edge may be curved or bent in the manner of a pediment formed, including the lower Corner areas need not be corner areas of an exact rectangle, but for example, can also have strongly rounded corners. It is only important that the upper edge of the curtain is attached in any way to the container and that the curtain can be folded along this line or even along a line parallel thereto and stored on the upper surface of the container, if it ever on the surface should be stored.
  • the wrinkles that arise when lifting the curtain and when placing it on the top can be influenced by the fact that when you drop the lower center first pivots to one side and then to the other side, so that the curtain clean even in this state folded on the top of the container.
  • the curtain according to the invention can still with the described features be used advantageously because for the removal of individual objects, the curtain can be held up for a short time with one hand. After the removal (or loading) of an object, then the user simply lets go of the curtain so that it falls back, the two loosely hanging left and right lower corner areas open like two wings and in the manner of a wing beat against the open container again shut down.
  • This is of particular interest in embodiments or containers from which only occasionally objects are removed (or introduced) and the rest, for example, harsh environmental conditions (dust, chips, rain, spray, chemicals) are exposed.
  • the lower corner areas may have some weights, which weights may be concentrated along the lower edge and / or the right and left side edges, but preferably should be evenly distributed over the area of the lower right and left corner areas ,
  • the lower corner regions have triangular areas with increased weight per unit area, for example in the form of thickenings of the web material, which in turn preferably each make up at least 10% and preferably more than 15% of the area of the entire curtain ,
  • the lower left and right corner regions consist of a larger number of layers of the flexible sheet material than the majority of the remaining curtain surface.
  • the multi-layered corners do not refer to folded seams at the edges of the curtain, but rather to large areas which extend in the direction of the center of the curtain and not just in the manner of a seam on the areas of the edges are limited.
  • the multi-layered or double-layered lower left and right corner areas should each make up at least about 10% of the curtain area. Also, as far as the "other curtain surfaces" is mentioned, this means the surfaces within the area enclosed by any marginal areas.
  • the lower left and right corner regions are formed homogeneously, ie with a uniform surface density, whereby again any hems along the edge can be foreseen.
  • the homogeneity The corner regions are automatically formed when the corner regions are formed by two or more layers of the flexible sheet material of which the curtain is made, while the remaining curtain surfaces have only one layer or fewer layers than the left and right lower corner regions. It is understood that it is assumed that the flexible sheet material or its individual layers otherwise has or have a substantially uniform thickness.
  • the lower left and right corner regions respectively comprise substantially the entire area enclosed by the left and right edges, the lower edge, and a line extending from the upper left and right corners, respectively the curtain extends to the middle of the lower edge, or to a point of the vertical longitudinal centerline of the curtain above the lower edge, but preferably still within the lower half of the curtain, in which case the area of increased specific basis weight takes the form of a skew angle Trapezes assumes, as defined inter alia by claim 8.
  • an embodiment of the present invention is particularly preferred in which, starting from the vicinity of the lower edge, for stiffening a central lower portion of the curtain, a rod of material rigid with the material of the curtain extends approximately along the vertical longitudinal centerline up to extends a point within the lower half of the curtain.
  • This rod which is at least in the vicinity of the lower edge of the curtain and at a further point within the lower half of the curtain attached to this and stiffens the curtain in this central portion, optionally serves not only as a stiffening element, but also as a handle and can be detected by a user when opening the curtain and stored up on the top of the container. Since the rod has a certain length and its lower lying near the lower edge portion can be detected and reached in any case with one hand, so that at least this lower portion can be pushed over the upper front edge of the container, he pushes at the same time also the overlying portion of the curtain, which is attached to the other, upper end of the rod, on top of the container.
  • the fold lines are formed by a connection of the upper left and right corner regions of the curtain to the lower attachment point of the rod near the center of the lower edge, namely, when the rod is held substantially in the plane of the curtain is, or when the rod is angled relative to the Vorhangbene, to the upper attachment point of the rod.
  • the rod helps to push the upper portions of the curtain sufficiently far toward the top of the container and the bottom of the rod, after being placed, can substantially close to the upper front edge of the container, including substantially the entire lower edge of the curtain is pushed onto the top of the container or only slightly overhangs.
  • FIG 1 a schematically illustrated as a broken box container 3, which has substantially the shape of a cuboid, i. a bottom and a top and circumferential side walls, one of which defines a front side, which is shown closed in Figure 1 by a curtain 1.
  • This curtain consists of a flexible sheet material and has a substantially rectangular shape, which is adapted to the shape of the front side of the container 3.
  • the curtain 1 is connected along its upper edge 16 to the upper edge of the container 3.
  • the front surface extends substantially vertically, but the invention would also work in the same way, for example, if the front surface would run in a slightly inclined plane, so the upper edge of the container would be slightly recessed relative to the lower edge.
  • the curtain has a lower left corner area designated 4 and a right lower corner area denoted by 5, which are delimited by dashed lines 6 and 7 from the rest of the curtain surface.
  • dashed lines 6 and 7 extend from the left and right upper corner of the curtain approximately to the center of the lower edge 12 of the curtain, these lines 6, 7, however, do not necessarily have to be exactly straight and otherwise easy with respect to the positions shown can be moved.
  • the left and right lower corner areas 4, 5 are thereby different from the upper central area 20, which extends substantially between the lines 6, 7 and the upper edge 16, in that the areas 4, 5 per unit area have a higher weight than that
  • the regions 4, 5 are made of two layers of the web material, while the central region 20 consists of only one layer of the same material (again without consideration any edge seams).
  • corresponding triangular paths of the flexible material which correspond to the shape of the regions 4 and 5, are sewn onto a rectangular path corresponding to the entire curtain surface, for example along the lines 6, 7 and along the lower edge 12 and the left and right edges 14 , 15 of the curtain.
  • these additional webs could also be glued or welded, depending on what type of flexible sheet material it is with the material of the curtain.
  • a rod located in the lower part of the curtain and approximately along the vertical longitudinal center line of the curtain is a rod, which in the present case is a metal rail 10 which is sewn to the curtain 1 (for example via corresponding holes in the metal rail).
  • this metal rod 10 extends approximately from the center of the lower edge 12 of the curtain to about one third of the total height of the curtain 1.
  • the upper attachment point of this rod 10 should still lie within the lower half of the curtain, while the Lower attachment point preferably near the lower edge, ie within the lower 10% of the height of the curtain, should be.
  • the lower portion of the rod 10 can still be equipped with a handle 11, which facilitates the holding of the rod and the curtain 1.
  • the curtain 1 is shown partially raised, this condition arises for example in that a user grasps the handle 11 and pulls forward and upward. Because of their double-layered design, the lower left and right corner regions 4, 5 are relatively heavy and hang down loosely, forming one or two crease lines through the lines 8, 9 and 6, respectively, depending on the orientation of the stiffening bar or rail 10 , 7 are defined.
  • the crease line is defined by the lines 6, 7, whereas if the metal rail 10 is bent downwards relative to the overlying curtain level, this results in a Knick rather along the lines 8, 9, where "kink” here no sharp line is meant, but a more or less rounded transition from lying over the metal rail 10 flat surface to the depending left and right lower corner regions 4, 5, the are triangular or trapezoidal.
  • the user preferably grips the handle 11, pulls it over the top edge 16 forward and leaves the curtain easy fall, wherein the curtain lies smoothly and completely before the open side of the container 3 due to the special embodiment described.
