Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Koffer, insbesondere einen Werkzeugkoffer.The invention relates to a suitcase, in particular a tool case.

Bekannte Koffer bestehen im wesentlichen aus einem Deckel und einem Unterteil, wobei das Unterteil an der hinteren Seite über Scharniere mit dem Deckel verbunden ist und der Koffer an der gegenüberliegenden Seite über Verriegelungstasten ver- und entriegelt werden kann.Known cases consist essentially of a lid and a lower part, wherein the lower part is connected at the rear side via hinges to the lid and the case on the opposite side can be locked and unlocked via locking buttons.

Bei bekannten Koffern kann es vorkommen, daß ein Koffer trotz verriegelter Verriegelungstasten nicht verriegelt ist, wenn der Deckel nur aufliegt. So kann es vorkommen, daß man in dem Glauben, daß der Koffer verriegelt ist, versucht, einen Koffer anzuheben, obwohl der Deckel nur aufliegt. Der Kofferinhalt kann so aus dem Koffer auf den Boden fallen, so daß der Inhalt entweder neu einsortiert werden muß oder sogar beim Herausfallen zerstört wird.In known suitcases, it may happen that a case is not locked despite locked locking buttons when the lid rests only. So it may happen that in the belief that the case is locked, trying to lift a case, although the lid rests only. The contents of the case can fall out of the case on the floor, so that the content must either be re-sorted or even destroyed when falling out.

In der DE 20 2004 019 526 U1 ist beispielsweise ein Koffer gezeigt, der eine Verriegelungstaste aufweist, die zwischen einer geöffneten und einer verriegelten Position verstellbar ist. Der Koffer hat einen Griff, der mit der Verriegelungstaste so gekoppelt ist, dass er sich in der Ruheposition befindet, in der er nicht oder nur schlecht greifbar ist, wenn sich die Verriegelungstaste in der geöffneten Position befindet. Ist die Veniegelungstaste in der verriegelten Position, befindet sich der Griff in einer Greifposition.In the DE 20 2004 019 526 U1 For example, a case is shown having a lock button that is adjustable between an open and a locked position. The case has a handle that is coupled to the lock button so that it is in the rest position where it is not or only poorly graspable when the lock button is in the open position. When the lock button is in the locked position, the handle is in a gripping position.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Koffer bereitzustellen, der nur bei geschlossenem Deckel verriegelt werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a suitcase that can be locked only when the lid is closed.

Zu diesem Zweck sieht die Erfindung einen Koffer mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 vor. Zum Verriegeln des Koffers muß sich das Sicherungsteil in seiner zweiten Stellung befinden. Die zweite Stellung nimmt das Sicherungsteil erst ein, wenn ein Deckel des Koffers geschlossen ist, wodurch verhindert wird, daß der Kofferinhalt, der sich in dem Koffer befindet, beim Anheben des unverriegelten Koffers herausfällt und gegebenenfalls durch das Herunterfallen zerstört wird. Das Sicherungsteil kann dabei beispielsweise manuell oder durch den Deckel selbst verstellt werden.For this purpose, the invention provides a case with the features of claim 1. To lock the case, the security part must be in its second position. The second position takes the securing part only when a lid of the suitcase is closed, thereby preventing the contents of the case, which is in the suitcase, from falling out when lifting the unlocked suitcase and possibly being destroyed by the fall. The security part can be adjusted for example manually or by the cover itself.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

  • Figur 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Koffers,
  • Figur 2 eine perspektivische, vergrößerte Ansicht des mit X bezeichneten Bereichs in Figur 1 mit einem Sicherungsteil in der ersten Stellung,
  • Figur 3 eine perspektivische, vergrößerte Ansicht des Sicherungsteils in der ersten Stellung,
  • Figur 4 eine perspektivische, vergrößerte Ansicht des mit X bezeichneten Bereichs in Figur 1 mit dem Sicherungsteil in der zweiten Stellung, und
  • Figur 5 eine perspektivische Ansicht des Sicherungsteils in der zweiten Stellung.
The invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. In the drawings show:
  • FIG. 1 a perspective view of a suitcase according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 a perspective, enlarged view of the designated X area in FIG. 1 with a securing part in the first position,
  • FIG. 3 a perspective, enlarged view of the securing part in the first position,
  • FIG. 4 a perspective, enlarged view of the designated X area in FIG. 1 with the securing part in the second position, and
  • FIG. 5 a perspective view of the security part in the second position.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Koffer 10, insbesondere einen Werkzeugkoffer, der aus einem Unterteil 12 und einem Deckel 14 besteht. Das Unterteil 12 ist an der hinteren Seite mit dem Deckel 14 über Scharniere (nicht gezeigt) verbunden. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite sind zwei Verriegelungstasten 16 angebracht, die zwischen einer geöffneten Position (Figuren 1 und 2) und einer verriegelten Position (Fig. 4) verstellbar sind. FIG. 1 shows a suitcase 10, in particular a tool box, which consists of a lower part 12 and a cover 14. The lower part 12 is connected at the rear side to the lid 14 via hinges (not shown). On the opposite side there are two locking keys 16 which are located between an open position (FIG. FIGS. 1 and 2 ) and a locked position ( Fig. 4 ) are adjustable.

Es ist ein Sicherungsteil 18 vorgesehen, das zwei Stellungen einnehmen kann, wobei es so ausgebildet ist, daß es in einer ersten Stellung (Figur 2) die Verriegelungstaste 16 daran hindert, die verriegelte Position einzunehmen, und es in einer zweiten Stellung (Figur 4) der Verriegelungstaste 16 erlaubt, die verriegelte Position einzunehmen.It is a securing member 18 is provided which can take two positions, wherein it is designed so that in a first position ( FIG. 2 ) prevents the lock button 16 from assuming the locked position and in a second position (FIG. FIG. 4 ) of the lock button 16 allows to assume the locked position.

Das Sicherungsteil 18 ist in einem Aufnahmeraum eines Bauteils 30 angebracht und entgegen einer Kraft eines federelastischen Elements 26 vertikal verschiebbar, wobei das federelastische Element 26 als Spiralfeder ausgebildet ist. Das federelastische Element 26 beaufschlagt das Sicherungsteil 18 so, daß ein stiftförmiger Abschnitt 32 des Sicherungsteils bezüglich Figur 2 nach oben vorsteht und eine Rastnase 22 der Verriegelungstaste 16 nicht in die Aussparung 24 eingreifen kann. Das Sicherungsteil 18 kann durch Drücken des stiftförmigen Abschnitts 32 (bezüglich Figur 2) nach unten entgegen der Kraft des federelastischen Elements 26 in eine zweite Stellung gebracht werden, in der die Rastnase 22 in die Aussparung 24 eingreifen und der Koffer 10 verriegelt werden kann.The securing part 18 is mounted in a receiving space of a component 30 and vertically displaceable against a force of a resilient element 26, wherein the resilient element 26 is formed as a spiral spring. The resilient element 26 acts on the securing part 18 so that a pin-shaped portion 32 of the securing part with respect FIG. 2 protrudes upward and a locking lug 22 of the locking button 16 is not in the recess 24 can intervene. The securing part 18 can be fixed by pressing the pin-shaped portion 32 (with respect to FIG FIG. 2 ) are brought down against the force of the resilient element 26 in a second position in which the locking lug 22 engage in the recess 24 and the case 10 can be locked.

Die Verriegelungstasten 16 sind jeweils einteilig, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff ausgeführt und weisen jeweils die Form zweier Quader auf, die in einem Winkel zueinander stehen. Zwischen den beiden Quadern befinden sich jeweils Achsen 20, um die die Verriegelungstasten 16 nach Art einer Wippe schwenken können. So können die Verriegelungstasten 16 zwischen der geöffneten und der verriegelten Position verstellt werden, wobei sie in beiden Positionen einrasten.The locking keys 16 are each in one piece, preferably made of plastic and each have the shape of two cuboids, which are at an angle to each other. Between the two blocks are each axes 20 by which the locking buttons 16 can pivot in the manner of a rocker. Thus, the locking keys 16 can be adjusted between the open and locked positions, locking in both positions.

Zwischen den Verriegelungstasten 16 ist ein bandförmiger Griff 34 aus Kunststoff angeordnet, wobei die Enden des Griffs 34 mit der jeweiligen Verriegelungstaste 16 verbunden sind und dadurch verstellbar zwischen einer Stellung ist, in der er nicht ergriffen werden kann, da der Abstand zwischen dem Koffer 10 und dem Griff 34 zu gering ist, und einer Stellung, in der er ergriffen werden kann, da der Abstand zwischen dem Koffer 10 und dem Griff 34 ausreichend groß ist.Between the locking buttons 16, a band-shaped handle 34 is disposed of plastic, wherein the ends of the handle 34 are connected to the respective locking button 16 and thereby adjustable between a position in which it can not be grasped, since the distance between the case 10 and the handle 34 is too low, and a position in which it can be taken, since the distance between the case 10 and the handle 34 is sufficiently large.

Im folgenden wird auf die Funktionsweise des Koffers 10 eingegangen:The following will discuss the operation of the case 10:

In der geöffneten Stellung der Verriegelungstasten 16 wird das Sicherungsteil 18 vom federelastischen Element 26 so beaufschlagt, daß der stiftförmige Abschnitt 32 des Sicherungsteils 18 über (bezüglich Figur 2) das Bauteil 30 vorsteht und die Rastnase 22 nicht in die Aussparung 24 eingreifen kann, wodurch der Koffer 10 nicht verriegelt werden kann. Der Griff 34 des Koffers 10 kann in dieser Stellung nicht ergriffen werden, da der Abstand zwischen dem Koffer 10 und dem Griff 34 zu gering ist.In the open position of the locking buttons 16, the securing member 18 is acted upon by the resilient element 26 so that the pin-shaped portion 32 of the securing member 18 via (with respect FIG. 2 ) the component 30 protrudes and the latching lug 22 can not engage in the recess 24, whereby the case 10 can not be locked. The handle 34 of the case 10 can not be taken in this position, since the distance between the case 10 and the handle 34 is too small.

Beim Schließen des Deckels 14 wird der stiftförmige Abschnitt 32 von einem Vorsprung 36 am Deckel 10 entgegen der Kraft des federelastischen Elements 26 verschoben. Das Sicherungsteil 18 ist dann in seiner zweiten Stellung, in der die Rastnase 22 in die Aussparung 24 eingreifen kann. Um die verriegelte Position der Verriegelungstaste 16 zu erreichen, muß der jeweils äußere Abschnitt der Verriegelungstasten 16 gedrückt werden. Die Verriegelungstasten 16 schwenken um die Achsen 20, und die Rastnasen 22, die an den Verriegelungstasten 16 angeordnet sind, rasten in die Aussparungen 24 ein und verriegeln das Kofferschloß. Da der Griff 34 mit den Verriegelungstasten 16 verbunden ist und die Verriegelungstasten 16 aus zwei Quadern bestehen, die in einem Winkel zueinander stehen, wird der Griff 34 ausgestellt, so daß der Griff 34 mit der Hand umgriffen werden kann.When closing the lid 14 of the pin-shaped portion 32 is displaced by a projection 36 on the cover 10 against the force of the resilient element 26. The securing part 18 is then in its second position in which the latching lug 22 can engage in the recess 24. In order to reach the locked position of the lock button 16, the respective outer portion of the lock buttons 16 must be pressed. The lock buttons 16 pivot about the axes 20, and the locking lugs 22 which are arranged on the locking buttons 16, engage in the recesses 24 and lock the luggage lock. Since the handle 34 is connected to the lock keys 16 and the lock keys 16 consist of two parallelepiped blocks, the handle 34 is exposed so that the handle 34 can be gripped by hand.

Zum Öffnen des Koffers 10 muß Druck auf den jeweils mit dem Griff 34 verbundenen Abschnitt der Verriegelungstasten 16 aufgebracht werden. Die Verriegelungstasten 16 schwenken um die Achsen 20 in die entgegengesetzte Richtung zurück und entriegeln dabei das Kofferschloß. Da der mit dem Griff 34 verbundene Abschnitt der Verriegelungstasten 16 nun parallel am Koffer 10 anliegt, wird der Griff 34 beim Verschwenken der Verriegelungstasten 16 zum Koffer 10 hinbewegt, so daß er nicht mehr von der Hand umgriffen werden kann. Nach dem Entriegeln des Kofferschlosses wird das jeweilige Sicherungsteil 18 vom federelastischen Element 26 in die erste Stellung beaufschlagt.To open the case 10, pressure must be applied to the respectively connected to the handle 34 portion of the locking buttons 16. The locking buttons 16 pivot back about the axes 20 in the opposite direction and unlock the case lock. Since the connected to the handle portion 34 of the locking keys 16 is now applied in parallel to the case 10, the handle 34 is moved when pivoting the locking keys 16 to the case 10 so that it can not be encompassed by the hand. After unlocking the case lock the respective securing part 18 is acted upon by the resilient element 26 in the first position.
