The side walls carry flexibly displaced bolt and carry the locating bar (6). The locating bar grips the side walls from inside and supports these from back wards. The side walls are adjacent to the locating bar. The locating bar is provided with springy release lever (11) during lying of side walls, and the release lever is placed in the openings of the side walls.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Transportkasten aus Kunststoff, der aus einem Boden und nach innen umlegbaren Seitenwänden die durch Riegel in aufrechter Position gehalten werden, wobei zwei gegenüberliegende Seitenwände an ihren Außenkanten eine Anschlagleiste tragen, gegen die die benachbarte Seitenwand bei ihrem Aufrichten schlägt.The invention relates to a transport box made of plastic, which are held by a bottom and inwardly foldable side walls by bolts in an upright position, with two opposite side walls carry at their outer edges a stop bar against which the adjacent side wall strikes when erected.

Solche Transporkästen werden überall dort eingesetzt, wo der Rücktransport mit der Kästen weniger Volumen benötigen soll, um Frachtkosten zu sparen.Such transporter boxes are used everywhere, where the return transport with the boxes needs less volume in order to save freight costs.

Solche Transportkästen gibt es bereits seit Jahrzehnten. Sie waren immer in beladenem Zustand etwas wackelig, weil es nie gelungen ist, wirklich feste \/erschlüsse für das Ankoppeln zweier Seitenwände aneinander in den Kastenecken zu konstruieren. Diese Verschlüsse bestanden oftmals aus mehreren losen Teilen, die zusammen zu stecken waren und von, denen nur allzuleicht ein Teil verloren ging, was den ganzen Kasten unbrauchbar machte.Such transport boxes have been around for decades. They were always a bit shaky when loaded, because it was never possible to construct really solid connections for the coupling of two side walls to each other in the box corners. These closures often consisted of several loose pieces that had to be stuck together and those that were all too easily lost, making the whole box unusable.

Die Erfindung vermeidet die Nachteile des Standes der Technik. Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen zusammenlegbaren Transportkasten zu schaffen, der sehr stabil und robust ist, leicht zusammenzulegen und leicht wieder aufzubauen ist und dessen Verschlußteile fest und unverlierbar in den einstückig im Spritzgußverfahren hergestellten Wänden integriert sind.The invention avoids the disadvantages of the prior art. It is the object of the invention to provide a collapsible transport box to create, which is very stable and robust, easy to assemble and easy to rebuild and whose closure parts are firmly and captively integrated in the integrally injection molded walls.

Der erfindungsgemäße Transportkasten zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die die Anschlagleisten tragenden Seitenwände federnd verschiebbare Riegel tragen, die von innen hinter die an den Anschlagleisten anliegenden benachbaren Seitenwände greifen und diese von hinten abstützen, während die an den Anschlagleisten anliegenden Seitenwände mit federnden Entriegelungshebeln versehen sind, die in Ausnehmungen dieser Seitenwände untergebracht sind und mit an ihren freien Enden angebrachten Keilflächen an den Riegeln anliegen.The transport box according to the invention is characterized in that the side walls supporting the stop strips carry resiliently displaceable bolts which engage behind the adjacent side walls adjacent to the stop bars from the inside and support these from the rear, while the side walls bearing against the stop bars are provided with resilient unlocking levers. which are housed in recesses of these side walls and bear with attached at their free ends wedge surfaces on the bars.

Bei diesem Verschuß zum Zusammenkoppeln zweier Seitenwände sind alle Teile einstückig mit den Seitenwänden herstellbar und somit unverlierbar. Sie liegen in Ausnehmungen der Seitenwände, so daß sie auch durch äußere Einflüsse nicht abgebrochen werden können. Das macht diesen Transportkasten sehr robust. Die Verschlüsse bedürfen nur beim Zusammenlegen des Kastens einer Bedienung durch Drücken eines Hebels, beim Wiederaufrichten der Seitenwände nach einem Leertransport hingegen ist an den Verschlüssen kein Handgriff notwendig, sie schnappen von selbst in ihre Stellung für einen Transport von Ware ein.In this Verschoppel for coupling two side walls all parts are integral with the side walls produced and thus captive. They lie in recesses of the side walls, so that they can not be broken by external influences. This makes this transport box very robust. The closures require only when folding the box an operation by pressing a lever, the Wiederrichtung the side walls after a vacuum transport, however, is on the closures no handle necessary, they snap by themselves in their position for a transport of goods.

Das geschieht mit Hilfe von Keil- oder Schrägflächen an den Hebeln. Und zwar liegt zweckmäßigerweise die Keilfläche an jedem Entriegelungshebel an einem ebenfalls keilförmigen Vorsprung des Riegels an, der hinter die die Entriegelungshebel tragende Seitenwand mit den Entriegelungshebeln faßt.This is done by means of wedge or inclined surfaces on the levers. And that is expediently the wedge surface on each unlocking lever to a likewise wedge-shaped projection of the bolt, which grasps behind the release lever bearing side wall with the unlocking levers.

Dabei sind an dem Transportkasten im Bereich der Entriegelungshebel in der Seitenwand Löcher vorgesehen sind, die einen Zugriff von außen an die Entriegelungshebel gestatten.In this case, holes are provided on the transport box in the region of the release lever in the side wall, which allow access from the outside to the release lever.

Diese Löcher sind zweckmäßigerweise an ihrer Außenseite von Rippen umgeben, damit nicht unbeabsichtigt ein Zugriff zu den Entriegelungshebeln erfolgen kann.These holes are expediently surrounded on their outer side by ribs, so that inadvertent access to the unlocking levers can not take place.

Diese Entriegetungshebel werden von außen beispielsweise durch den Druck von in die beiden Löcher der Seitenwand gesteckte Daumen in ihre Entriegeiungsstellung gebracht, worauf die Seitenwand nach innen umgeleft werden kann.These unlocking levers are brought from the outside, for example, by the pressure of inserted into the two holes of the side wall thumbs in their Entriegeiungsstellung, after which the side wall can be umgeleft inside.

Das freie Ende jedes Entriegelungshebels ist in der Aufsicht zweckmäßigerweise dreieck- oder trapezförmig gestaltet, wobei die äussere Schrägfläche am Riegel anliegt bzw. angreift, damit beim Aufstellen der vom Leertransport flach liegenden Seitenwände die Verriegelung selbsttätig erfolgt.The free end of each unlocking lever is suitably triangular or trapezoidal in plan view, wherein the outer inclined surface rests on the bolt or engages, so that when setting up the lying flat from the empty transport the locking is done automatically.

Dabei ist es bei diesem Trahsportkasten vorteilhaft, wenn der Riegel mit dem ihn tragenden Hebel in einer Ausnehmung der ihn tragenden Seitenwand untergebracht ist, in die er durch das keilförmige freie Ende des Entriegelungshebels hineindrückbar ist.It is advantageous in this Trahsportkasten when the bolt is accommodated with the lever supporting it in a recess of the side wall carrying it, in which he is hineindrückbar by the wedge-shaped free end of the release lever.

Das ist am besten möglich, wenn die Wandstärke der Seitenwände des Transportkasten ausreichend dick bemessen ist, um die Verschluß- und Entriegelungshebel in sich aufzunehmen.This is best possible if the wall thickness of the side walls of the transport box is dimensioned sufficiently thick to accommodate the locking and unlocking lever in it.

Diese Wandstärke ist bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Transportkasten dadurch erzielt, daß die Seitenwände in ihrem mittleren Bereich durch zwei bodenparallele und im Querschnitt U-förmige Leisten und dazwischen liegende senkrecht zum Boden verlaufende wellenförmige Wandteile gebildet sind.This wall thickness is achieved in the transport box according to the invention characterized in that the side walls are formed in its central region by two parallel and U-shaped strips in the middle and lying perpendicular to the bottom wave-shaped wall parts.

Diese sellenförmigen Wandteile sind aus mehreren senkrecht zum Boden verlaufenden Streifen gebildet, wobei zwischen schräg verlaufenden Streifen jeweils seitenwandparallele Streifen an der Vorder- und an der Rückseite der Seitenwand angeordnet sind.These sellenförmigen wall parts are formed from a plurality of perpendicular to the bottom extending strips, wherein between obliquely extending strips each side wall parallel strips are arranged on the front and at the back of the side wall.

Bei diesem Transportkasten ist es vorteilhaft, daß die Riegel und Entriegelungshebel einstückig mit dem Transportkasten hergestellt sind, wodurch erreicht ist, daß kein Einzelteil verloren gehen kann.In this transport box, it is advantageous that the bars and Unlock lever are made in one piece with the transport box, whereby it is achieved that no item can be lost.

Ein weiterer Vorteil dieses Transportkastens ist es, daß der Entriegelungshebel und der den Riegel tragende Hebel so lang sind, daß sie federnd aus ihrer Ruheposition in ihre Arbeitsposition verschwenkbar sind.Another advantage of this transport box is that the release lever and the bolt carrying the lever are so long that they are resiliently pivotable from its rest position to its working position.

Zusätzlich kann noch vorgesehen sein, daß an Stellen, wo zwei Seitenwände aneinander anliegen, Führungsvorrichtungen angebracht sind.In addition, it may be provided that at locations where two side walls abut each other, guide devices are mounted.

Der Transportkasten besteht aus einem Boden 1 und vier nach innem klappbaren Seitenwänden 2,3. Diese sind am Boden durch Gelenke 4,5 nach innen umklappbar befestigt.The transport box consists of a bottom 1 and four innem foldable side walls 2,3. These are attached at the bottom by hinges 4.5 inwardly hinged.

Die Längsseitenwände 2 tragen an ihren Stirnflächen Anschlagleisten 6, an denen im aufgestellten Zustand des Transportkastens die Stirnseitenwände 3 anliegen. Die Längsseitenwände 2 sind mit verschwenkbaren Riegeln 7 ausgestattet, die die Stirnseitenwände 3 von innen in ihren aufgestellten Lage abstützen. Damit sind die aufgestellten Stirnseitenwände von außen durch die Anschlagleisten 6 und von innen durch die Riegel 7 in ihrer aufrechten Stellung fixiert.The longitudinal side walls 2 carry at their end faces stop strips 6, in which in the erected state of the transport box End walls 3 rest. The longitudinal side walls 2 are provided with pivotable bars 7, which support the end walls 3 from the inside in their erected position. Thus, the erected end walls are fixed from the outside by the stop strips 6 and from the inside by the latch 7 in its upright position.

Die Riegel 7 sind am Ende von einstückig mit der Längsseitenwand 2 geformten Federn 8 befestigt und liegen in Öffnungen 9 der Längsseitenwand 2. Die Riegel 7 können durch zwei umgebogene Flächen 9 am freien Ende der Feder 8 gebildet sein.The latches 7 are fixed at the end of integrally formed with the longitudinal side wall 2 springs 8 and lie in openings 9 of the longitudinal side wall 2. The latch 7 may be formed by two bent surfaces 9 at the free end of the spring 8.

Um beim Zusammenlegen dieses Transportkastens die Riegel 7 nicht mit den Fingern wegdrücken zu müssen und dadurch die Finger in Gefahr zu bringen, beim Umlegen der Stimseiten-wand 3 gequetscht zu werden, ist in der Stirnseitenwand 3 ein Entriegelungshebel 11 in einer Öffnung 12 untergebracht, dessen freies Ende mehrfach gebogen ist, um nach außen hin eine Mulde 13 für die Auflage eines von außen auf den federnden Entriegelungshebel 11 drückenden Fingers und eine Schrägfläche 14 für die Anlage und das Wegdrücken des den Riegel 7 bildenden umgebogenen freien Endes der Feder 8 zu bilden. Der Entriegelungshebel 11 wird von außen durch den Druck eines durch das Loch 15 gesteckten und dabei auf den Entriegelungshebel 11 dückenden Fingers betätigt.In order not to have to press away with the fingers when folding this transport box 7 and thereby bring the fingers in danger to be squeezed when moving the end wall 3, a release lever 11 is housed in an opening 12 in the end wall 3, the free end is bent several times to form outwardly a recess 13 for the support of an externally pressing on the resilient release lever 11 finger and an inclined surface 14 for the system and the pushing away of the latch 7 forming the bent free end of the spring 8. The unlocking lever 11 is actuated from the outside by the pressure of a plugged through the hole 15 and thereby on the release lever 11 dückenden finger.

Von den umgebogenen Endflächen der Feder 8 erfüllt die senkrecht zur Feder 8 sehende Endfläche 16 die Riegelfunktion, während die Schräglfläche 17 als Anlauffläche für das freie Ende des Entriegelungshebels 11 dient, wenn die Stirnseitenwand 3 aus ihrer bodenparallel liegenden Stellung aufgerichtet wird.Of the bent end faces of the spring 8, the perpendicular to the spring 8 seeing end face 16 performs the locking function, while the slant surface 17 serves as a contact surface for the free end of the release lever 11 when the end wall 3 is erected from its ground-parallel position.

Bei diesem Transportkasten sind die Wandstärken so dick konzipiert, daß die aufgeführten Hebel 8,11 darin in Wandöffnungen 10, 12 untergebracht werden können. Da diese Wandstärke nicht in Vollkunststoff ausgeführt worden kann, sind die Seitenwände in ihrem mittleren Bereich durch zwei boden-parallele und im Querschnitt U-förmige Leisten 18 und dazwischen liegende senkrecht zum Bonden verlaufende wellenförmige Wandteile gebildet sind. Diese wellenförmigen Wandteile sind aus mehreren senkrecht zum Boden 1 verlaufenden Streifen 19,20 gebildet sind, wobei zwischen schräg verlaufenden Streifen 19 jeweils seitenwandparallele Streifen 20 an der Vorder- und an der Rückseite der Seitenwand 2,3 angeordnet sind.In this case, the wall thicknesses are designed so thick that the listed lever 8,11 can be accommodated therein in wall openings 10, 12. Since this wall thickness can not be performed in solid plastic, the side walls are in their central region by two floor-parallel and in cross-section U-shaped strips 18 and intermediate lying perpendicular to the bonding wave-shaped wall parts are formed. These wave-shaped wall parts are formed from a plurality of strips 19, 20 extending perpendicularly to the bottom 1, whereby strips 20, each side wall-parallel strips 20, are arranged between the obliquely extending strips 19 on the front and on the rear side of the side wall 2, 3.
