Definitions

  • the invention relates to a folding particle foam container, in particular for the transport, storage and / or the provision of industrial products, foods or other goods according to claim 1.
  • Folding particle foam containers are basically known in the art.
  • the EP 1 868 918 B1 describes a thermally insulating transport box, which consists of a bottom part, two longitudinal side parts, two transverse side parts and a cover part. Both the longitudinal side parts, as well as the transverse side parts are pivotally mounted on the bottom part about each parallel to the bottom part extending pivot axes.
  • the transport box according to EP 1 868 918 B1 Although allows a relatively good insulation for food and the like, the stability and in particular the flexibility of the transport box in their application is perceived as unsatisfactory.
  • the invention has for its object to show a folding particle foam container, which is characterized by a comparatively high stability and preferably by a high flexibility in the application. This object is achieved by a folding particle foam container according to claim 1.
  • a hinged particle foam container preferably for transporting, storing and providing foodstuffs and the like, having a bottom element, a first, second, third and fourth side wall and a rigid frame which is arranged on an edge of the side walls, wherein the bottom element and the side walls, possibly also the frame, at least partially made of particle foam, in particular expanded polypropylene (EPP) are made, wherein the first and second side wall are hinged to the rigid frame via a hinge and against the bottom element (within a predetermined Angular region) are freely pivotable, wherein the third and fourth side wall are foldable and are connected to the frame and the bottom element.
  • EPP expanded polypropylene
  • An essential idea of the invention is that all side walls are connected to the rigid frame and remain connected in the folded and unfolded state with this.
  • a rigid frame is realized by the present invention, which increases the stability of the folding particle foam container.
  • a cover element as in accordance with EP 1 868 918 B1 necessary to ensure sufficient stability.
  • a folding particle foam container is also fundamentally simplified in construction, which should not preclude the possibility of possibly providing a cover element.
  • the folding particle foam container is particularly advantageous.
  • the folding particle foam container is also particularly well suited for use in automated systems, since the handling can be done comparatively easily. Furthermore, compared to the prior art, a greater height of the side walls (with sufficient stability of the particle foam container) can be realized.
  • the collapsible particulate foam container is used (and is so adapted) for the transport, storage and provision of industrial products, foodstuffs and other goods.
  • the foldable Particle foam containers may be used to transport, store and / or provide machine parts and the like.
  • the folding particle foam container is stackable in a folded and / or unfolded state. This simplifies the handling of the folding particle foam container.
  • stackable should in particular mean that the foldable particle foam container is designed such that it can be arranged (in the folded in and / or unfolded state) over another foldable particle foam container in such a way that the two particle foam containers arranged one above the other are opposite to a predetermined one the side acting force are determined (in this consideration, frictional forces should not be considered).
  • the foldable particle foam container or a single foldable particle foam container which is located in a stack of folding particle foam containers, can also be folded in this state; d. H. the folding particle foam container does not necessarily have to be removed from the stack (for example, if further particle foam containers are arranged above and / or below the particle foam container). Overall, this considerably simplifies the handling of the particle foam container. Furthermore, an automation of the handling of the particle foam container, in particular the automatic assembly and / or unfolding of the particle foam container in a simple manner possible.
  • the particle foam container can be designed such that in a plurality of stacked particle foam containers at least one particle foam container (or a first plurality) in the folded state and at least one container (or a second plurality) may be present in the unfolded state (for example, alternating).
  • the bottom element on a bottom side on, in particular circumferential or interrupted, fold is set particularly easily in relation to another folding particle foam container in superimposed state.
  • a circumferential fold has the advantage that in this case a comparatively good stability is ensured.
  • An interrupted fold has the further advantage that an outflow of liquid between two stacked particle foam containers arranged one above the other is improved.
  • the rigid edge of the folding particle foam container is formed corresponding to the fold. This also improves handling, in particular stackability of the folding particle foam container.
  • the edge protrudes (also) in the folded state of the folding particle foam container away from the bottom element.
  • the edge even in the folded state, can engage in a recess of a further folding particle foam container, which further improves the handling, in particular the stackability, of the folding particle foam container.

  • At least one hinge is arranged within the folding particle foam container.
  • the hinges thus do not protrude, the robustness and in particular the handling of the folding particle foam container is further improved.
  • the hinges comprise rods and / or tubes, in particular of plastic, and / or film hinges.
  • Particularly preferred is the connection between the frame and the first and / or second and / or third and / or fourth side wall via rods or pipes (made of plastic) form.
  • the frame part is further reinforced, which improves the stability of the folding particle foam container.
  • the frame can also be reinforced, for example foamed with respect to the bottom element and / or the side walls of higher density.
  • Film hinges are particularly preferably provided between the first and second side wall portion of the third and / or fourth side wall. These film hinges can for example be molded or provided via a subsequently applied film. As a result, the effort, in particular cost in the production of the folding particle foam container is reduced.
  • At least one hinge has a receptacle with a continuous cylinder jacket surface, for example to receive a rod or a tube.
  • the axis (for example rod or tube) can be foamed.
  • the stability of the hinge and thus the particle foam container is further improved.
  • the reliability of the connection is improved by simple means. It is possible to position the corresponding axis already during the production process (before the foaming of the particle foam) in such a way that the axis is foamed by the particle foam during the formation of the particle foam. As a result, a reliable and positive connection is realized in a simple manner.
  • the continuous or circumferential cylinder jacket surface in the foaming process can also be realized by using appropriate slides.
  • the axis may be made (at least in sections) of the same material as other components of the folding particle foam container, in particular as the side walls. Further preferably, at least one axis (possibly all axes) of the same material as all other components of the folding foam container.
  • the particle foam container (essentially) made of expanded polypropylene (EPP) and the axis of (unexpanded) polypropylene (PP). With such a design, the recyclability of the particle foam container is improved. This reduces the overall costs associated with the particulate foam container.
  • the axis in particular the tube
  • the axis may also be made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
  • a high stability rigidity
  • the axes not only allows a simple pivoting of the corresponding side walls, but also improves the stability of the particle foam container, for example compared to ball joints.
  • several functions are thus taken into account with a single component, which further reduces the production costs.
  • the bottom element has at least one rib.
  • the stability of the folding particle foam container can be improved.
  • it may be provided a rib along an edge of the Floor element, however, at a predetermined distance (circumferential or interrupted) runs and thus defines the (circumferential or interrupted) fold. It can also be arranged a plurality of parallel ribs. The ribs may in particular be arranged in a cross pattern.
  • a recess is formed on an upper side of the bottom element in order to receive the first and / or second side wall, in particular latching.
  • the depression can be an undercut.
  • the latching can be carried out via an additional element (injection-molded element).
  • the hinged particle foam container is further stabilized.
  • a bottom elevation may be formed on the upper side of the floor element, which can be brought into engagement with a corresponding sowandaus strictlyung, in particular (outwardly open) side wall pocket.
  • a bottom recess, in particular (inwardly opened) bottom pocket may be provided on the upper side of the bottom element, in order to receive a sowanderhöhung.
  • Bottom elevation and sidewall recess preferably define a dovetail joint.
  • sowanderhöhung and bottom pocket can define a dovetail connection.
  • a dovetail connection may in particular be understood to mean a positive connection similar to a tongue and groove connection, in which the shape of the "spring" remotely reminds of the forked shape of the tail of a swallow.
  • the "spring" (increase) widens, for example, with increasing height.
  • the recess widens in particular with increasing depth.
  • the (oblique) flanks of the increase or recess act reinforcing the force according to the principle of a wedge.
  • a side wall pocket and / or bottom pocket By providing a side wall pocket and / or bottom pocket not only tensile forces (to a certain extent) are resisted, but also prevented in a simple way that the side wall can fold outwards. Is the sidewall pocket open to the outside or the bottom pocket to the inside, can a corresponding increase in the floor or the side wall can be easily introduced. By a pocket bottom further pivoting of the side wall is reliably prevented. If the bottom pocket at the same time still widening in cross section towards the bottom, a reliable resistance to tensile forces can be realized at the same time. Accordingly, a possibly provided side wall pocket can be opened to the outside and have a cross-section which tapers (in the unfolded state) towards the bottom.
  • the bottom element is formed trough-shaped and additionally or alternatively has a receiving contour.
  • the bottom member may preferably be releasably formed from the remaining components of the particulate foam container, for example by allowing a rod of a hinge to be removed (the rod releasably connecting the bottom member to the remaining components of the particulate foam container).

  • the side wall is fixed in the folded state in a particularly simple manner, in particular when at the opposite end (not in Fig. 24 see) of the side wall 13, a corresponding elevation 41 is formed, which is correspondingly engageable with a corresponding recess 42 in engagement.
  • Fig. 25 is a first side view of the embodiment according to Fig. 23 to see.
  • Floor elevations 53 assigned to the first side wall (three floor elevations 53 in the specific case) point upward from an upper edge of the floor element 10.
  • the bottom elevations 53 widen in the direction of the frame 15 and the cover 39, respectively.
  • the second side wall has corresponding bottom elevations 53.
  • Fig. 26 corresponds to a section along the line XXVI-XXVI in Fig. 30 ,
  • Fig. 27 has an underside of the embodiment according to Fig. 23 five transverse ribs 37 and seven longitudinal ribs 37 on.
  • the provided with this ribbed rib structure improves the stability of the particle foam container.
  • the lid 39 has a raised lid edge 55, so that the collapsible particle foam container, even if the lid is attached, can be stacked in a simple manner.
  • the hinged particle foam container in the unfolded and folded state, each with and without cover is stackable. As a result, the handling of the particle foam container is simplified.
  • FIG. 31 is an oblique view of a section of the side wall 14 and the bottom element 10 of the embodiment according to Fig. 23 to see.
  • a hinge 58 includes an axle 56 and a plurality of receivers 57 (only one of which is in FIG Fig. 31 you can see).
  • the receptacles 57 have continuous (uninterrupted) cylinder jacket surfaces, so that the axle 56 is completely foamed (possibly apart from axle ends).
  • Fig. 32 is a section of the bottom element 10 and the first side wall 11 (in the unfolded state) to see.
  • the bottom elevation 53 is in engagement with a side wall recess 59. Both the bottom elevation 53 and the side wall recess 59 widen from one (not in FIG Fig. 32 shown) underside of the folding particle foam container starting.
  • Fig. 34 is a section of the bottom element 10 can be seen. Between the (three) soil elevations 53 two Bodenaus Principle Heidelberg 62 are formed. The bottom recesses 62 are inwardly (in the direction of arrow 63 in FIG Fig. 34 ), except for a bottom recess end portion 64 which is defined in the direction of the interior of the foam container by a wall 65. The bottom recess end portion 64 is for receiving the supernatant of the distal ends 61 of the side elevations 60 (see FIG Fig. 33 ) formed and provided.
  • the bottom elevations 53 are engageable with the sowandausEnglishept 59, wherein the sowandausEnglishept 59 are formed as pockets and (in the unfolded state) are bounded by a respective wall 66 inwardly (see Fig. 33 ).
  • the side wall 11 and corresponding side wall 12
  • the dovetail connections 67 to be recognized in FIG. 67, an extremely reliable fixing of the side wall relative to the floor element can take place.
  • the bottom recess end portions 64 By forming the bottom recess end portions 64, the side wall can be easily fixed or latched to the ground. Overall, an increased stability of the particle foam container is realized by these measures.
  • recessed grips 16 in an upper half of the side walls 11, 12 are arranged (in the unfolded state).
  • the handling of the particle foam container is simplified and at the same time increases its stability.
