Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen tragbaren Behälter, insbesondere für kraftgetriebene Werkzeuge, mit einem Haupthandgriff und mindestens einem im Bereich einer Seitenfläche angeordneten Seitenhandgriff.The invention relates to a portable container, in particular for power tools, having a main handle and at least one arranged in the region of a side surface side handle.

Ein derartiger Behälter ist aus der DE 203 11 223 U1 bekannt. Der bekannte Behälter weist einen vorzugsweise mittig angeordneten Haupthandgriff sowie zwei Seitenhandgriffe auf, wobei die Seitenhandgriffe eine deutlich geringere Querschnittsbreite als der Haupthandgriff aufweisen. Damit soll ermöglicht werden, dass entweder der Behälter an dem mittig angeordneten Haupthandgriff getragen werden kann oder dass zwei nebeneinander angeordnete Behälter durch Umgreifen ihrer beiden außen liegenden Seitenhandgriffe gleichzeitig getragen werden können.Such a container is from the DE 203 11 223 U1 known. The known container has a preferably centrally arranged main handle and two side handles, wherein the side handles have a significantly smaller cross-sectional width than the main handle. This is to be made possible that either the container can be worn on the centrally arranged main handle or that two adjacent containers can be worn by grasping their two outer side handles at the same time.

Obwohl eine derartige Ausgestaltung der Handgriffe grundsätzlich das gemeinsame Tragen von nebeneinander angeordneten Behältern erlaubt, ist insbesondere dann, wenn die Behälter selbst sehr schwer sind, eine besonders ergonomische Gestaltung der Handgriffe erforderlich, um sowohl beim Tragen eines einzelnen Behälters als auch beim gemeinsamen Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter einen möglichst hohen Komfort zu gewährleisten.Although such a configuration of the handles basically allows the common carrying of juxtaposed containers, especially when the containers themselves are very heavy, a particularly ergonomic design of the handles is required to both when carrying a single container and when carrying two adjacent Container to ensure the highest possible comfort.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen verbesserten Behälter anzugeben, mit dem ein besonders hoher Tragekomfort sowohl beim Tragen eines einzelnen Behälters beim Ergreifen des Haupthandgriffes als auch beim gemeinsamen Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter durch Umgreifen der beiden Seitenhandgriffe zu gewährleisten.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an improved container with which to ensure a particularly high level of comfort both when carrying a single container when gripping the main handle as well as the common carrying two adjacent container by grasping the two side handles.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen tragbaren Behälter, insbesondere für kraftgetriebene Werkzeuge, mit einem Haupthandgriff und mindestens einem im Bereich einer Seitenfläche angeordneten Seitenhandgriff gelöst, wobei der Haupthandgriff verschwenkbar angeordnet ist zwischen einer ersten aufgestellten Position zum Tragen des Behälters und einer zweiten an den Seitenhandgriff angeklappten Position.This object is achieved by a portable container, in particular for power tools, with a main handle and at least one arranged in the region of a side surface side handle, wherein the main handle is pivotally mounted between a first set-up position for Carrying the container and a second folded to the side handle position.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird auf diese Weise vollkommen gelöst.The object of the invention is completely solved in this way.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dadurch, dass der Haupthandgriff verschwenkbar angeordnet ist, ein deutlich verbesserter Tragekomfort beim Tragen des Behälters am Haupthandgriff gewährleistet. Da zusätzlich der Haupthandgriff an den Seitenhandgriff anklappbar ist, kann so beim Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter sowohl der Haupthandgriff mit dem zugehörigen Seitenhandgriff als auch der Seitenhandgriff des benachbarten Behälters mit einer Hand ergriffen werden. Auf diese Weise steht insgesamt beim Tragen zweier Behälter eine deutlich vergrößerte Querschnittsfläche zur Verfügung, wodurch sich ein deutlich verbesserter Tragekomfort ergibt.According to the invention is characterized in that the main handle is pivotally mounted, a significantly improved comfort when carrying the container on the main handle guaranteed. In addition, since the main handle on the side handle is hinged, so when carrying two adjacent container both the main handle with the associated side handle and the side handle of the adjacent container can be taken with one hand. In this way, when carrying two containers is a total significantly increased cross-sectional area available, resulting in a significantly improved comfort.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung taucht der Haupthandgriff in der zweiten Position teilweise in den Seitenhandgriff ein.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the main handle in the second position partially immersed in the side handle.

Hierzu können beispielsweise der Haupthandgriff und der Seitenhandgriff Rippenstrukturen aufweisen, die beim Anklappen des Haupthandgriffes an den Seitenhandgriff teilweise ineinander greifen.For this purpose, for example, the main handle and the side handle rib structures which partially engage when folding the main handle on the side handle.

Auf diese Weise kann einerseits ein Haupthandgriff verwendet werden, der einen relativ großen zum Tragen des Behälters ausschließlich am Haupthandgriff besonders geeigneten Querschnitt aufweist. Andererseits kann dieser Haupthandgriff beim Anklappen an den Seitenhandgriff zusammen mit diesem einen Gesamtquerschnitt aufweisen, der nur unwesentlich gegenüber der Querschnittsfläche des Haupthandgriffes vergrößert ist. So steht beim gemeinsamen Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter durch Umgreifen der beiden aneinander anliegenden Seitenhandgriffe und des zusätzlich angeklappten Haupthandgriffes eine Gesamtfläche zur Verfügung, die zwar größer ist als die Fläche des Haupthandgriffes, die jedoch nicht so groß ist, dass sich die Griffe nur schwer umgreifen lassen. So ergibt wird eine besonders gute Anpassung sowohl an das Tragen eines einzelnen Behälters an seinem Haupthandgriff als auch an das Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter ermöglicht.In this way, on the one hand a main handle can be used, which has a relatively large for carrying the container exclusively on the main handle particularly suitable cross-section. On the other hand, this main handle when folding on the side handle together with this have an overall cross-section which is only slightly larger compared to the cross-sectional area of the main handle. Thus, when two adjacent containers are jointly carried by grasping the two mutually adjoining side handles and the additionally folded main handle, a total area is available which, although larger than the area of the main handle, is not so great that the handles are difficult to embrace , Thus, a particularly good adaptation is made possible both to the carrying of a single container at its main handle as well as to the carrying of two adjacent containers.

Hierbei steht grundsätzlich im Vordergrund, dass der Querschnitt des Haupthandgriffes groß genug sein soll, um ein bequemes Tragen eines einzelnen Behälters zu ermöglichen. Andererseits soll der zu umgreifende Gesamtquerschnitt beim gemeinsamen Tragen zweier Behälter zwar größer sein soll, als der Querschnitt des Haupthandgriffes, jedoch nicht so groß, dass ein Umgreifen erschwert ist.Here, in principle, in the foreground that the cross section of the main handle should be large enough to allow comfortable carrying a single container. On the other hand, the overall cross-section to be encompassed while carrying two containers together should be larger than the cross-section of the main handle, but not so large that it is difficult to reach around.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weisen der Haupthandgriff und der Seitenhandgriff annähernd gleiche Querschnitte auf.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the main handle and the side handle on approximately the same cross sections.

Hierbei können insbesondere der Haupthandgriff und der Seitenhandgriff dreieckförmige Querschnitte mit einer abgerundeten Außenseite aufweisen.In this case, in particular, the main handle and the side handle have triangular cross-sections with a rounded outer side.

Diese Ausgestaltung hat den Vorteil, dass sowohl beim Tragen eines einzelnen Behälters an seinem Haupthandgriff als auch beim Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter durch Umgreifen der beiden Seitenhandgriffe und des angeklappten Haupthandgriffes eine besonders günstige Grifffläche zur Verfügung steht.This embodiment has the advantage that both when carrying a single container at its main handle as well when carrying two adjacent containers by grasping the two side handles and the folded main handle a particularly convenient grip surface is available.

Hierbei kann nämlich der Haupthandgriff in der zweiten Position zusammen mit einem Seitenhandgriff eines benachbarten Behälters zu einer Gesamtstruktur zusammengefügt sein, die eine annähernd durchgehende, gewölbte Tragfläche aufweist, was einen besonders hohen Tragekomfort ermöglicht.In this case, the main handle in the second position, together with a side handle of an adjacent container, can be joined together to form an overall structure which has an approximately continuous curved support surface, which allows a particularly high wearing comfort.

Vorzugsweise weist der Behälter zwei Seitenhandgriffe im Bereich jeweils einer Seitenfläche auf.Preferably, the container has two side handles in the region of a respective side surface.

Hierbei können die beiden Seitenhandgriffe entweder gleiche oder auch unterschiedliche Querschnittsformen aufweisen.Here, the two side handles can have either the same or different cross-sectional shapes.

Bei einer ersten Variante ergibt der Haupthandgriff zusammen mit einem ersten Seitenhandgriff in der zweiten Position etwa den gleichen Gesamtquerschnitt wie ein zweiter Seitenhandgriff eines benachbarten Behälters.In a first variant, the main handle together with a first side handle in the second position gives approximately the same overall cross-section as a second side handle of an adjacent container.

In einer zweiten Variante ergibt der Haupthandgriff zusammen mit einem ersten Seitenhandgriff in der zweiten Position einen Gesamtquerschnitt, der annähernd spiegelverkehrt zu einem Querschnitt eines zweiten Seitenhandgriffes eines benachbarten Behälters ausgebildet ist.In a second variant, the main handle together with a first side handle in the second position results in an overall cross-section which is approximately mirror-inverted to a cross-section of a second side handle of an adjacent container.

Mit beiden Varianten lässt sich ein guter Tragekomfort beim gleichzeitigen Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter erzielen.With both variants, a good wearing comfort while simultaneously carrying two adjacent containers can be achieved.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dem Haupthandgriff ein Mittel zur Begrenzung des Verschwenkwinkels zugeordnet. Hierbei kann es sich beispielsweise um einen Anschlag handeln.According to a further embodiment of the invention, a means for limiting the pivoting angle is assigned to the main handle. This may be, for example, a stop.

Hierdurch wird sichergestellt, dass der Haupthandgriff immer nur zu einem Seitenhandgriff angeklappt werden kann, so dass dieser entsprechend angepasst werden kann.This ensures that the main handle can always be folded to a side handle, so that it can be adjusted accordingly.

In zusätzlicher Weiterbildung dieser Ausführung ist der Haupthandgriff in der ersten Position und/oder in der zweiten Position arretierbar. Hierzu können etwa Rastnasen vorgesehen sein, die mit dem Haupthandgriff zusammen wirken.In an additional development of this embodiment, the main handle can be locked in the first position and / or in the second position. For this purpose, locking lugs may be provided, for example, which interact with the main handle.

Durch die Arretierung des Haupthandgriffes wird ein unerwünschtes Pendeln des Behälters durch eine Schwenkbewegung des Haupthandgriffes vermieden.By locking the main handle an unwanted oscillation of the container is avoided by a pivoting movement of the main handle.

Es versteht sich, dass die vorstehend genannten und die nachstehend noch zu erläuternden Merkmale der Erfindung nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen oder in Alleinstellung verwendbar sind, ohne den Rahmen der Erfindung zu verlassen.It is understood that the features of the invention mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the particular combination indicated, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the scope of the invention.

In Fig. 1 ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Behälter perspektivisch dargestellt und insgesamt mit der Ziffer 10 bezeichnet. Der Behälter 10 dient vorzugsweise zur Aufbewahrung und zum Transport von kraftgetriebenen Werkzeugen, wie beispielsweise einer Bohrmaschine, einer Stichsäge, eines Schraubers, eines Winkelschleifers usw.In Fig. 1, an inventive container is shown in perspective and generally designated by the numeral 10. The container 10 is preferably used for storage and transportation of power tools, such as a drill, a jigsaw, a screwdriver, an angle grinder, etc.

Beim Einsatz an wechselnden Einsatzorten ist es häufig erforderlich, mehrere kraftgetriebene Werkzeuge zu transportieren. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Behälter 10 können zwei nebeneinander angeordnete Behälter gemeinsam mit einer Hand mit hohem Tragekomfort transportiert werden.When used at changing locations, it is often necessary to transport several power tools. With the container 10 according to the invention two can side by side arranged containers are transported together with one hand with high comfort.

Der Behälter 10 weist ein erstes Gehäuseteil 12 und ein zweites Gehäuseteil 14 auf, das verschwenkbar z.B. mittels Scharnieren (nicht dargestellt) am ersten Gehäuseteil 12 gehalten ist. Beide Gehäuseteile 12, 14 können mittels zweier Verschlüsse 30, 32 an der Vorderseite im geschlossenen Zustand miteinander verriegelt werden.The container 10 has a first housing part 12 and a second housing part 14, which can be pivoted e.g. by means of hinges (not shown) is held on the first housing part 12. Both housing parts 12, 14 can be locked together by means of two closures 30, 32 at the front in the closed state.

Der Behälter 10 weist einen Haupthandgriff 16 auf, der etwa in der Mitte zwischen beiden äußeren Seitenflächen um eine Schwenkachse 26 verschwenkbar angeordnet ist.The container 10 has a main handle 16, which is arranged approximately in the middle between two outer side surfaces about a pivot axis 26 pivotally.

Der Behälter 10 weist ferner einen ersten Seitenhandgriff 18 im Bereich der äußeren Seitenfläche des Gehäuseteils 12 sowie einen zweiten Seitenhandgriff 20 im Bereich der äußeren Seitenfläche des zweiten Gehäuseteils 14 auf. Zwischen dem Gehäuseteil 12 und dem ersten Seitenhandgriff 18 ist ein Grifffenster 22 gebildet, durch das hindurch ein Ergreifen des Seitenhandgriffes 18 zusammen mit dem Haupthandgriff 16 in einer daran angeklappten Position ermöglicht ist. Zwischen dem zweiten Gehäuseteil 14 und dem Seitenhandgriff 20 ist ein Grifffenster 24 gebildet, durch das hindurch der Seitenhandgriff 20 umgriffen werden kann.The container 10 further has a first side handle 18 in the region of the outer side surface of the housing part 12 and a second side handle 20 in the region of the outer side surface of the second housing part 14. Between the housing part 12 and the first side handle 18, a handle window 22 is formed through which a gripping of the side handle 18 together with the main handle 16 in a folded position is enabled. Between the second housing part 14 and the side handle 20, a handle window 24 is formed through which the side handle 20 can be encompassed.

In Fig. 1 ist ferner noch ein Anschlag 28 erkennbar, durch den der Verschwenkwinkel des Haupthandgriffes 16 begrenzt wird. Zusätzlich können neben dem Anschlag zwei Rastnasen 29 und 31 (Fig. 3) vorgesehen sein, mittels derer der Haupthandgriff 16 in zwei Positionen verrastbar ist. Die Rastnasen 29, 31 wirken mit zugeordneten Vertiefungen im Haupthandgriff 16 zusammen.In Fig. 1 is still a stop 28 can be seen, by the pivoting angle of the main handle 16 is limited. In addition, two locking lugs 29 and 31 (FIG. 3) may be provided next to the stop, by means of which the main handle 16 can be locked in two positions. The locking lugs 29, 31 cooperate with associated recesses in the main handle 16.

Aus der vergrößerten Darstellung in Fig. 2 ist die aufgestellte Position des Haupthandgriffes 16 erkennbar. In dieser Position steht der Haupthandgriff 16 in Bezug auf die durch die beiden Gehäuseteile 12, 14 gebildete Oberfläche senkrecht nach oben ab. Ferner ist der Haupthandgriff 16 in dieser Position arretiert, da der bügelförmige Haupthandgriff 16 auf jeder Seite mit einem Ende 34 an einem Anschlag 28 anliegt und in dieser Position beispielsweise durch einen Reibschluss gehalten ist (in Fig. 2 ist nur ein Ende 34 und ein zugeordneter Anschlag 28 erkennbar).From the enlarged view in Fig. 2, the erected position of the main handle 16 can be seen. In this position, the main handle 16 protrudes vertically upwards with respect to the surface formed by the two housing parts 12, 14. Furthermore, the main handle 16 is locked in this position, since the bow-shaped main handle 16 abuts on each side with one end 34 on a stop 28 and is held in this position, for example by a frictional engagement (in Fig. 2, only one end 34 and an associated Stop 28 recognizable).

Alternativ erfolgt eine Festlegung durch die Rastnase 31 (Fig. 3).Alternatively, a determination by the locking lug 31 (Fig. 3).

In Fig. 3 ist nun dargestellt, wie zwei benachbarte Behälter 10, 40, die mit ihren Seitenflächen aneinander anliegen, gemeinsam getragen werden können.In Fig. 3 is now shown how two adjacent containers 10, 40, which abut each other with their side surfaces, can be worn together.

Der erste Seitenhandgriff 18 des Behälters 10 weist genauso wie der zweite Seitenhandgriff 20 einen dreieckförmigen Querschnitt mit einer abgerundeten nach unten, d.h. zum Behälter hin weisenden Außenfläche auf. Gleichermaßen weist der benachbarte Behälter 40 einen solchen Seitenhandgriff 42 mit identischem Querschnitt auf. Der Haupthandgriff 16 des Behälters 10 ist an den ersten Seitenhandgriff 18 angeklappt und liegt an diesem an. Auch der Haupthandgriff 16 weist einen Querschnitt auf, der in seinen Außenkonturen dem Querschnitt des Seitenhandgriffes 18 entspricht. Der erste Seitenhandgriff 18, der daran anliegende Haupthandgriff 16 und der am ersten Seitenhandgriff 18 anliegende benachbarte Seitenhandgriff 42 des benachbarten Behälters 40 bilden nun an ihrer nach unten weisenden Außenfläche gemeinsam eine annähernd gleichförmig gekrümmte Wölbung, die ein besonders ergonomisches Umgreifen aller drei Handgriffe mit einer Hand ermöglicht.The first side handle 18 of the container 10 has the same as the second side handle 20 has a triangular cross-section with a rounded down, ie towards the container facing outer surface. Likewise, the adjacent container 40 has such a side handle 42 of identical cross section. The main handle 16 of the container 10 is hinged to the first side handle 18 and is applied to this. The main handle 16 also has a cross section which corresponds in its outer contours to the cross section of the side handle 18. The first side handle 18, which is adjacent Main handle 16 and the adjacent to the first side handle 18 adjacent side handle 42 of the adjacent container 40 now form on their downwardly facing outer surface together an approximately uniformly curved curvature, which allows a particularly ergonomic gripping all three handles with one hand.

So ergibt sich ein besonders guter Tragekomfort beim gemeinsamen Tragen der beiden benachbarten Behälter.This results in a particularly good comfort when jointly carrying the two adjacent containers.

Eine alternative Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Behälters ist in den Fig. 4 und 5 dargestellt und insgesamt mit der Ziffer 10a bezeichnet.An alternative embodiment of the container according to the invention is shown in Figs. 4 and 5 and indicated generally by the numeral 10a.

Im Unterschied zu der Ausführung gemäß Fig. 1 weisen der Haupthandgriff 16 und die beiden Seitenhandgriffe 18, 20 keine glatte Oberfläche auf, sondern besitzen an jeweils einer Außenseite eine Rippenstruktur.In contrast to the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the main handle 16 and the two side handles 18, 20 do not have a smooth surface, but instead have a rib structure on each outer side.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 5 erkennbar ist, weist der erste Seitenhandgriff 18 an seiner zur Behälterinnenseite hin weisenden Oberfläche eine Mehrzahl von Rippen 19 auf. Der Haupthandgriff 16 weist an der den Rippen 19 zugewandten Seite gleichfalls entsprechende Rippen 17 auf. Die Rippen 17 des Haupthandgriffes 16 und die Rippen 19 des ersten Seitenhandgriffes 18 sind nun derart versetzt zueinander angeordnet, dass die Rippen 17 des Haupthandgriffes 16 teilweise zwischen die Rippen 19 des Seitenhandgriffes 18 eingreifen, wenn der Haupthandgriff 16 an den Seitenhandgriff 18 angeklappt ist. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich in der in Fig. 5 dargestellten Position, in der der Haupthandgriff 16 an den Seitenhandgriff 18 angeklappt ist, ein Gesamtquerschnitt der beiden Handgriffe 16, 18, der geringer ist als die Summe der Einzelquerschnitte der beiden Handgriffe 16, 18. Dies trägt dazu bei, dass sich beim gemeinsamen Tragen zweier benachbarter Behälter ein Gesamtquerschnitt ergibt, der durch die Auflage des Haupthandgriffes 16 in angeklappter Position nur unwesentlich vergrößert ist. Andererseits besitzt der Haupthandgriff 16 einen ausreichend großen Querschnitt, um beim Tragen eines einzelnen Behälters in der aufgeklappten Position ein ergonomisches Umgreifen zu gewährleisten.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 5, the first side handle 18 has a plurality of ribs 19 on its surface facing the inside of the container. The main handle 16 has at the ribs 19 side facing also corresponding ribs 17. The ribs 17 of the main handle 16 and the ribs 19 of the first side handle 18 are now offset from one another such that the ribs 17 of the main handle 16 partially engage between the ribs 19 of the side handle 18 when the main handle 16 is folded to the side handle 18. In this way, results in the position shown in Fig. 5, in which the main handle 16 is folded to the side handle 18, a Overall cross section of the two handles 16, 18, which is less than the sum of the individual cross sections of the two handles 16, 18. This contributes to the fact that when two adjacent containers carry together an overall cross section results, by the support of the main handle 16 in the folded position only slightly increased. On the other hand, the main handle 16 has a sufficiently large cross-section to ensure an ergonomic grip when carrying a single container in the unfolded position.

Es versteht sich, dass es grundsätzlich natürlich auch möglich ist, zwei benachbarte Behälter 10, 40 gemeinsam durch Umgreifen der beiden aneinander anliegenden Seitenhandgriffe 18, 42 zu tragen, ohne dass der Haupthandgriff 16 angeklappt ist.Of course, it is of course also possible to carry two adjacent containers 10, 40 together by grasping the two adjoining side handles 18, 42, without the main handle 16 being folded.
