- the tongue is proportioned such that the container is supported by means of the rail and can be coupled to the rail by means of the engagement of the tongue via the rail.
- US 2012/0074158 A1 discloses a vessel having a body and a lid.
- the back wall of the vessel is configured to hang the vessel on a mounting device.
- the back wall has a first hanger which extends substantially longitudinally along at least a portion of the top edge of the back wall and protrudes upwardly, and a second hanger which is spaced from the vertical surface of the back wall.
- Wall brackets are known which partially or completely enclose the case and thus provide a firm bond between the bracket and the case.
- some cases are secured against loosening from the holder by a strap or snap-in hook.
- Known wall brackets are very complex to shape and are only usable for one case size. A safeguard against improper removal of the case is usually ensured by an additional component (for example a belt or a locking hook).
- an arrangement is created that has a case that has coupling structures by means of which the case can be stacked on another case (in particular vertically removable and horizontally secured against displacement), and one (in particular one or more component) on a wall has attachable wall bracket, which has at least one fastening structure for fastening the case, wherein the at least one fastening structure is designed to achieve the fastening of the case to the wall bracket by interacting with at least some of the coupling structures that also accomplish the stacking or at least contribute to it.

- the at least one fastening structure is designed to accomplish the fastening of the case to the wall bracket by interacting with at least part of the coupling structures to form a clamp fastening
- the at least one fastening structure starting from a (in particular upper) edge of the mounting base has
- a method for handling a suitcase is created, the method providing a suitcase which has coupling structures by means of which the suitcase can be stacked on another suitcase, a wall bracket is attached to a wall, the Wall bracket has at least one fastening structure for fastening the case, and the case is fastened to the wall bracket by the interaction of the at least one fastening structure with at least part of the coupling structures, which part is also set up for stacking the case with another (in particular identical) case.
- a connection of different case heights and widths in a wall bracket is possible. Securing against improper removal can be achieved by a clamping and / or locking connection between the case and the mounting of the wall bracket.
- the wall bracket allows the case to be removed quickly, easily and without problems.
- One or more suitcases can be stored using a special wall bracket that can be used for different suitcase sizes.
- it is advantageously possible to use the same coupling structures for fastening a suitcase to the wall that are used when the suitcase is stacked on another, in particular similar, suitcase. This allows a user intuitive handling of the case and wall bracket and also enables the case to be designed with little manufacturing effort and in a lightweight and compact manner.
- the wall bracket can also be manufactured in this way with little effort and can be designed to be lightweight, since it does not need to be completely enclosed to fasten the case, but merely creating an operative connection between the stackable coupling structures and the fastening structures.
- the referenced suitcases can be stacked on top of one another and preferably also slid into one another.
- On the wall bracket a Recording can be provided in the form of the fastening structure, which corresponds to the subordinate of the two suitcases stacked on top of one another.
- the upper case can be attached to the wall by means of the wall bracket in the same way as on the lower case.
- the fastening structures on the wall bracket emulate the associated coupling structures on the lower case.
- the case and wall bracket can be handled manually and without tools.
- the coupling structures of the case can have a receiving foot, in particular with an essentially L-shaped or F-shaped cross-section, which is designed both for stacking the case with the other case and for fastening to the fastening structure of the Wall bracket to contribute.
- a receiving foot which can be designed as a latching base with a coupling lug, can protrude from the underside of the case when it is on a level surface.
- the receiving foot or feet can moreover be used when stacking one suitcase on another, in particular similar, suitcase. Finally, they can be used synergistically to attach the case to the wall bracket.
- the at least one receiving foot is designed not only for mounting the suitcase on the wall bracket (see FIG Figure 8 to Figure 10 and associated description) and for vertically removable and horizontally shift-secured stacking of the case with another case (see Figure 1 to Figure 3 and associated description), but also to contribute to the vertically undetachable coupling of the case with the other case (see Figure 4 and associated description).
- the mounting foot can be inserted into an inlet opening of the Can be hung on the wall bracket.
- the receiving foot of the suitcase can be placed on a locking cam on the other suitcase.
- a coupling nose of the receiving foot can be pushed into a rail of the other case.
- Such a receiving foot can extend downward from a main surface of the case that forms a case base.
- a coupling nose or the like can preferably be formed on the receiving foot perpendicular to this direction of extension, further preferably inwardly. If the receiving foot is inserted into a receiving space between a wall contact surface of the wall bracket resting against the wall and a fastening surface (with the fastening structure) of the wall bracket spaced therefrom, the structure protruding downward from the bottom of the case can be received in an inlet opening of the fastening structure and the coupling nose in be introduced into the recording room.
- the coupling nose and the inlet opening can be shaped and dimensioned relative to one another in such a way that the coupling nose cannot be pulled off the wall holder without lifting the case vertically or in the clamped state when the case is mounted on the wall bracket (due to the form fit or undercut) cannot be passed through the inlet opening.
- the coupling structures on the case and the other coupling structures on the other case can be arranged in a corresponding or identical manner, so that the other case can be attached to the wall bracket as an alternative to the case.
- the wall bracket can thus be used for a whole set of suitcases, provided that these only have coupling structures that can interact with the fastening structure.
- the case and the other case can be designed identically or with different sizes, in particular different heights and / or different widths.
- the different suitcases can have different dimensions, but have a configuration of coupling structures that correspond to one another in terms of shape and spatial arrangement, which coupling structures can be engaged by the fastening structures of the wall bracket.
- the case can have a body and a lid that is or can be connected to the body, wherein in a closed state between the body and the lid a receiving space for receiving goods to be transported is formed inaccessible from the outside, and in an open state the receiving space from is accessible from the outside.
- the lid can be folded over with respect to the body.
- the coupling structures can be designed to contribute both to a vertically detachable, shift-secured stacking of the case on the other case and to a vertically undetachable coupling of the case to the other case.
- the coupling structures can therefore be configured in such a way that a user can selectively transfer the case into the state that is stacked with respect to the other case or into the state that is coupled to one another. This favors a compact design of the case.
- the coupling structures used for stacking or coupling can be used synergistically for fastening a respective one of the suitcases to the wall bracket, in that they have, for example, corresponding sections.
- At least a part of the coupling structures can be designed so that the case and the other case can be selectively displaced relative to one another in the vertically undetachably coupled state one above the other or can be secured against one another by actuating part of the coupling structures.
- the cases are secured or unlocked in the non-removable state. This, too, can advantageously be achieved through the multifunctional coupling structures.
- some of the coupling structures can contribute both to the vertically detachable, shift-secured stacking and to the vertically undetachable coupling to one another. This keeps the outlay on producing the case low and allows the case to be designed to be lightweight, since the coupling structures are configured to fulfill different functions.
- some of the coupling structures which contribute to securing displacement in the vertically inextricably coupled state on top of one another, can be designed and actuated independently of another part of the coupling structures, which contribute to vertically removable, displaceably secured stacking as well as to vertically undetachable coupling. This simplifies the handling of the suitcase for a user.
- These locking bases or mounting feet can be used synergistically to attach the case to the wall bracket.
- some of the coupling structures with which the case and the other case can be vertically and undetachably coupled to one another, can be in the form of guide rails on the outer upper edge areas of the body and in the form of lower-side coupling lugs on outer surfaces that interact with the guide rails in the coupled state underside Be formed edge areas of the body.
- These coupling lugs can be used synergistically to attach the case to the wall bracket.
- a part of the coupling structures, with which the case and the other case can be locked against each other in the vertically undetachable coupled state can be designed in the form of receiving grooves and interacting locking slides, the locking slides in particular on the body of the one Suitcase can be pushed into the receiving grooves, in particular on the body of the other suitcase.
- the coupling structures in particular at least one slidably designed locking slide, can be designed to permanently couple the case and the wall bracket.
- the mounting base (especially if it is designed as a U-profile) of the wall bracket can have a cavity that is open to the wall side, into which the locking slide can be inserted by moving the locking slide relative to a body of the case and thereby with locking structures on the mounting base can come into engagement with the undetachable coupling of the case and the wall bracket.
- the mounting base can have a U-profile.
- a first flat area of the U-profile can rest against the wall in the assembled state, whereas an opposing other flat area of the U-profile is spaced apart from the wall in the assembled state and can have the fastening structures for receiving the coupling structures of the case. Between the two flat A receiving space for receiving part of the coupling structures, in particular part of a receiving foot, is formed in areas.
- the case is advantageous according to DE 10 2014 118 452 educated.
- the design of the mounting plate as a U-profile is simple, compact and lightweight in terms of production technology.
- the wall bracket can have or consist of one or two bent and stamped metal sheets.
- the wall bracket can thus be produced exclusively by bending and punching an inexpensive and stable metal sheet. By bending, a spacing of a section of the wall bracket from the wall can be set in and ensured.
- the fastening structure or mounting holes can be formed by the punching.
- the wall bracket can also be made of plastic, for example as an injection molded part.
- the mounting base can have at least one through hole for passing through at least one fastening element, in particular a screw or a clip.
- a fastening element can be designed for fastening the mounting base to the wall (for example a building wall or a wall designed as a perforated plate, which in turn can be attached to a building or motor vehicle wall).
- Other fastening elements for example nails, rivets or bolts, are also possible.
- the inlet opening can taper starting from the edge of the mounting base, in particular it can be an inlet opening that tapers in a V-shape, and it can be designed to clamp the coupling structures when the coupling structures are inserted far enough into the tapering inlet opening.
- the case centers itself advantageously when it is inserted into the wall bracket and is ultimately automatically clamped when the tapering has reached one dimension of the corresponding coupling structure of the case.
- the tapering inlet opening can be followed on the inside by a taper-free (for example slot-shaped) hollow section which is designed to receive one end of the coupling structures (in particular part of the receiving foot) essentially without a gap.
- the hollow section can be a rectilinear section that can ensure correct positioning of the coupling structure in the final connection state between the case and the wall bracket.
- An end stop can be formed at the end of the hollow section, which gives a user haptic and / or acoustic feedback that the wall mounting has been successfully completed when the case is completely inserted into the wall bracket.
- a clamping nose can be provided on the inlet opening, which is designed to clamp the coupling structures when the coupling structures are inserted into the inlet opening up to the clamping nose.
- a clamping nose can be designed as a spatially defined protrusion at a predeterminable position of the fastening structure and allows the clamping to be defined spatially very precisely.
- the inlet opening for fastening the stackable suitcase can be arranged in such a way that an insertion direction when inserting the fastening structures into the inlet opening is essentially the same as an effective direction of the gravitational force.
- the inlet opening in the mounted state of the wall bracket, can be arranged running vertically downwards, so that the muscle power required by a user to establish a coupling state between the case and the wall bracket is extremely low. Due to the geometry described, the gravitational force clearly supports a user when applying a clamping force to clamp the case to the wall bracket.
- the wall bracket can be used to attach a receptacle to other Coupling structures be rotatable (in particular rotatable by 90 °).
- the wall bracket can also offer the option of holding plastic containers. With a single swivel movement of a quarter turn, a user can switch the wall mount between an operating state for receiving a suitcase and another operating state for receiving a receptacle (for example a plastic box, as described for example in FIG DE 10 2015 206 606 ) transfer.
- the arrangement according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention can therefore be designed as a universal fastening system.

- a clamping provision in particular designed as a fold or thickened edge of the mounting base
- the wall bracket is designed as a bent and stamped sheet metal. One end of the sheet only needs to be bent back in order to form the fold with the provision of the clamping provision.
- the wall bracket can be formed from two separate components which are to be mounted on the wall at a distance from one another and each of which has a fastening structure.
- the wall bracket can then have, as a second component, a further mounting base for attaching to the wall and at least one further fastening structure for fastening at least part of the coupling structures of the stackable case, wherein the at least one further fastening structure can be designed to fasten the case to the To accomplish wall mounting by interacting with at least part of the coupling structures with the formation of a further clamp fastening.
- the at least one further fastening structure can have a further inlet opening which extends from an edge of the mounting base and which is designed for inserting at least part of the coupling structures of the case is.
- the first component can ensure fastening in a first edge region of the case and the second component can ensure fastening in a second edge region of the same case opposite the first edge region.
- the two components can be designed with mirror symmetry to one another. If they are each designed as a U-profile, the two openings of the U-profiles can face one another in the assembled state.
- the provision of two separate components for wall mounting the case keeps the material required for producing the wall bracket particularly small.
- the wall bracket can also be designed in one piece or at least in three pieces.
- the wall bracket can have a connection structure by means of which the two components are connected to one another in one piece. Then the wall bracket with the two components and the connecting structure permanently connecting them can also be designed as a single, jointly manageable and inseparable structure, which increases the user comfort.
- the connection structure can be, for example, a connection strut or a profile.
- connection structure and the two components can be designed to move at least one of the two components along the connection structure for adjusting a distance between the two components.
- the advantage of only one structure to be handled can be combined with the flexible adjustability of the wall mount to different case sizes.
- one of the components or both components can be mounted on the connecting structure in a longitudinally displaceable manner, so that their spacing can be set in a user-defined manner.
- Each of the longitudinally displaceably mounted components can advantageously be locked at a desired position along the connection structure, for example by means of a locking screw.
- the wall bracket can be manufactured from one material, for example from plastic or metal, with little manufacturing effort.
- the at least one fastening structure can be at least partially formed from a mechanically and / or acoustically damping material (for example from rubber or a soft plastic), at least a portion of the damping material with at least a portion of the part of the coupling structures to form a mechanical and / or damped clamp fastening interacts.
- a mechanically and / or acoustically damping material for example from rubber or a soft plastic
- Such an element made of rubber or a soft plastic as part of the wall bracket can, for example, also be essentially V-shaped, at least partially enclose the latching foot of the case and thereby hold the case in a buffered manner. This can suppress unwanted mechanical vibrations and rattling noises.
- plastic container described above and / or the perforated plate described above can be part of an arrangement according to the invention.
- the case can be removed from the wall bracket again (in particular manually or without tools) after wall mounting and then stacked on the other case by means of at least part of the coupling structures so that it cannot be moved horizontally and / or vertically and cannot be removed from the other case.
- the case can be removed from the wall bracket again (in particular again by hand or without tools) after it has been mounted on the wall and the other case can then be attached to the wall bracket by the interaction of the at least one fastening structure with at least some of the other coupling structures of the other case .
- At least some of the other coupling structures can interact with at least some of the coupling structures when the suitcases are stacked.
- the case can switch between a state of attachment to the wall bracket, a state of use and one to another Suitcases can be transferred in a stacked or coupled state.
- the wall bracket can also be switched between a configuration for receiving the suitcase and a configuration for receiving the receptacle with one movement.
- the system of case (s) and wall bracket can thus be combined universally, whereby the same coupling and fastening structures can always be used.
- a wall bracket is provided in the form of a U-profile designed as a bent sheet metal angle, which has a V-shaped recess as an inlet opening into which a base of a suitcase can be hung.
- the widened V-area preferably tapers the further the case is pushed open. The taper results in a positive clamping effect between the case base and the wall bracket.
- a wall bracket can preferably have two such U-profiles (further preferably with a shape that is mirror-symmetrical to one another).
- the wall bracket can also be used for storing receptacles made of plastic, for example.
- the plastic containers can be hung in without any problems thanks to a vertical sheet metal edge caused by rotation. A sheet metal fold on the then vertical sheet metal edge ensures a clamping effect of the suspended containers in the profile and thus prevents improper loosening.
- the clamping effect can also be controlled via a defined latch on the profile.
- An additional contact surface can support the base geometry of the case and offers the case an end stop.
- the wall bracket can be designed so that the case can be removed easily, quickly and without problems.
- a defined clamping area can prevent the case from being removed improperly.
- System boxes can be attached by simply turning the mount by 90 °.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung und ein Verfahren zum Handhaben eines Koffers.The invention relates to an arrangement and a method for handling a suitcase.
Für bestimmte Anwendungszwecke ist es wünschenswert, Koffer für den Transport zu sichern. Für diesen Zweck gibt es verschiedene Lösungen. Zum einen werden die Bodenseiten der Koffer aneinander gehalten und an der Griffseite über einen Drehmechanismus miteinander verrastet, wodurch zwei Koffer aneinandergehalten sind (siehe zum Beispiel
Es ist ferner bekannt, einen Koffer an einer Wandhalterung zu befestigen. Bekannt sind Wandhalterungen, welche den Koffer zum Teil oder komplett umschließen und somit einen festen Verbund zwischen Halterung und Koffer bereitstellen. Zusätzlich werden manche Koffer gegen ein Lösen aus der Halterung durch einen Gurt oder Rasthaken gesichert. Bekannte Wandhalterungen sind allerdings sehr aufwändig in der Formgebung und sind nur für eine Koffergröße verwendbar. Eine Sicherung gegen ein unsachgemäßes Entnehmen des Koffers wird meist über ein zusätzliches Bauteil (zum Beispiel einen Gurt oder einen Rasthaken) gewährleistet.It is also known to attach a suitcase to a wall bracket. Wall brackets are known which partially or completely enclose the case and thus provide a firm bond between the bracket and the case. In addition, some cases are secured against loosening from the holder by a strap or snap-in hook. Known wall brackets, however, are very complex to shape and are only usable for one case size. A safeguard against improper removal of the case is usually ensured by an additional component (for example a belt or a locking hook).
Das Befestigen von Koffern aneinander oder an einer Wandhalterung ist immer noch schwierig.Securing suitcases together or on a wall mount is still difficult.
Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine effiziente Wandmontage eines Koffers zu ermöglichen.It is an object of the present invention to enable efficient wall mounting of a case.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Gegenstände mit den Merkmalen gemäß den unabhängigen Patentansprüchen gelöst. Weitere Ausführungsbeispiele sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen gezeigt.This object is achieved by the objects having the features according to the independent patent claims. Further embodiments are shown in the dependent claims.
Gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine Anordnung geschaffen, die einen Koffer, der Kopplungsstrukturen aufweist, mittels welcher der Koffer auf einem anderen Koffer (insbesondere vertikal abnehmbar und horizontal verschiebegesichert) stapelbar ist, und eine (insbesondere ein- oder mehrkomponentige) an einer Wand anbringbare Wandhalterung aufweist, die mindestens eine Befestigungsstruktur zum Befestigen des Koffers aufweist, wobei die mindestens eine Befestigungsstruktur ausgebildet ist, das Befestigen des Koffers an der Wandhalterung durch Zusammenwirken mit zumindest einem Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen zu bewerkstelligen, die auch das Stapeln bewerkstelligen oder zumindest dazu beitragen.According to one embodiment of the present invention, an arrangement is created that has a case that has coupling structures by means of which the case can be stacked on another case (in particular vertically removable and horizontally secured against displacement), and one (in particular one or more component) on a wall has attachable wall bracket, which has at least one fastening structure for fastening the case, wherein the at least one fastening structure is designed to achieve the fastening of the case to the wall bracket by interacting with at least some of the coupling structures that also accomplish the stacking or at least contribute to it.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine Wandhalterung bereitgestellt, die eine Montagebasis zum Anbringen der Wandhalterung an einer Wand (zum Beispiel einer vertikalen Wand, insbesondere eines Gebäudes oder eines Kraftfahrzeugs) und mindestens eine Befestigungsstruktur zum Befestigen von zumindest einem Teil von Kopplungsstrukturen eines stapelbaren Koffers aufweist, wobei die mindestens eine Befestigungsstruktur ausgebildet ist, das Befestigen des Koffers an der Wandhalterung durch Zusammenwirken mit zumindest einem Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen unter Ausbildung einer Klemmbefestigung zu bewerkstelligen, wobei die mindestens eine Befestigungsstruktur eine sich ausgehend von einem (insbesondere oberen) Rand der Montagebasis aus erstreckende Einlauföffnung aufweist, die zum Einführen zumindest eines Teils der Kopplungsstrukturen des Koffers ausgebildet ist.According to a further exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a wall bracket is provided which has a mounting base for attaching the wall bracket to a wall (for example a vertical wall, in particular a building or a motor vehicle) and at least one fastening structure for fastening at least some of the coupling structures of a stackable Has suitcase, wherein the at least one fastening structure is designed to accomplish the fastening of the case to the wall bracket by interacting with at least part of the coupling structures to form a clamp fastening, the at least one fastening structure starting from a (in particular upper) edge of the mounting base has extending inlet opening which is designed for introducing at least a part of the coupling structures of the case.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zum Handhaben eines Koffers geschaffen, wobei bei dem Verfahren ein Koffer bereitgestellt wird, der Kopplungsstrukturen aufweist, mittels welcher der Koffer auf einem anderen Koffer stapelbar ist, eine Wandhalterung an einer Wand angebracht wird, wobei die Wandhalterung mindestens eine Befestigungsstruktur zum Befestigen des Koffers aufweist, und der Koffer an der Wandhalterung durch Zusammenwirken der mindestens einen Befestigungsstruktur mit zumindest einem Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen befestigt wird, welcher Teil auch zum Stapeln des Koffers mit einem anderen (insbesondere identischen) Koffer eingerichtet ist.According to a further embodiment of the present invention, a method for handling a suitcase is created, the method providing a suitcase which has coupling structures by means of which the suitcase can be stacked on another suitcase, a wall bracket is attached to a wall, the Wall bracket has at least one fastening structure for fastening the case, and the case is fastened to the wall bracket by the interaction of the at least one fastening structure with at least part of the coupling structures, which part is also set up for stacking the case with another (in particular identical) case.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist eine Anbindung von unterschiedlichen Kofferhöhen und -breiten in einer Wandhalterung möglich. Eine Sicherung gegen ein unsachgemäßes Entnehmen kann durch eine Klemm- und/oder Verriegelungsverbindung von Koffer und Aufnahme der Wandhalterung bewerkstelligt werden. Die Wandhalterung erlaubt es, dass der Koffer einfach, schnell und störungsfrei entnehmbar ist. Die Lagerung von einem oder mehreren Koffern ist somit über eine spezielle Wandhalterung ermöglicht, welche für unterschiedliche Koffergrößen verwendet werden kann. Mit einer Wandhalterung gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist es vorteilhaft möglich, zur Befestigung eines Koffers an der Wand dieselben Kopplungsstrukturen mitzuverwenden, die beim Stapeln des Koffers auf einem anderen, insbesondere gleichartigen Koffer zum Einsatz kommen. Dies erlaubt einem Benutzer eine intuitive Handhabung von Koffer und Wandhalterung und ermöglicht es zudem, den Koffer mit geringem Herstellungsaufwand und in leichtgewichtiger und kompakter Weise auszubilden. Auch die Wandhalterung ist auf diese Weise mit geringem Aufwand herstellbar und leichtgewichtig ausbildbar, da zur Befestigung des Koffers kein komplettes Umschließen desselben nötig, sondern lediglich das Ausbilden einer Wirkverbindung zwischen den stapelfähigen Kopplungsstrukturen und den Befestigungsstrukturen ausreichend ist. Die in Bezug genommenen Koffer sind übereinander stapelbar und vorzugsweise auch ineinander schiebbar. An der Wandhalterung kann eine Aufnahme in Form der Befestigungsstruktur vorgesehen sein, die dem untergeordneten der beiden übereinander gestapelten Koffer entspricht. Somit kann der obere Koffer mittels der Wandhalterung an der Wand so befestigt werden wie an dem unteren Koffer. Mit anderen Worten emulieren die Befestigungsstrukturen an der Wandhalterung die zugehörigen Kopplungsstrukturen am unteren Koffer. Koffer und Wandhalterung können werkzeugfrei und händisch gehandhabt werden.According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a connection of different case heights and widths in a wall bracket is possible. Securing against improper removal can be achieved by a clamping and / or locking connection between the case and the mounting of the wall bracket. The wall bracket allows the case to be removed quickly, easily and without problems. One or more suitcases can be stored using a special wall bracket that can be used for different suitcase sizes. With a wall bracket according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, it is advantageously possible to use the same coupling structures for fastening a suitcase to the wall that are used when the suitcase is stacked on another, in particular similar, suitcase. This allows a user intuitive handling of the case and wall bracket and also enables the case to be designed with little manufacturing effort and in a lightweight and compact manner. The wall bracket can also be manufactured in this way with little effort and can be designed to be lightweight, since it does not need to be completely enclosed to fasten the case, but merely creating an operative connection between the stackable coupling structures and the fastening structures. The referenced suitcases can be stacked on top of one another and preferably also slid into one another. On the wall bracket a Recording can be provided in the form of the fastening structure, which corresponds to the subordinate of the two suitcases stacked on top of one another. Thus, the upper case can be attached to the wall by means of the wall bracket in the same way as on the lower case. In other words, the fastening structures on the wall bracket emulate the associated coupling structures on the lower case. The case and wall bracket can be handled manually and without tools.
Im Weiteren werden zusätzliche exemplarische Ausführungsbeispiele der Anordnung, der Wandhalterung und des Verfahrens beschrieben.Additional exemplary embodiments of the arrangement, the wall bracket and the method are described below.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel können die Kopplungsstrukturen des Koffers einen Aufnahmefuß, insbesondere mit im Querschnitt im Wesentlichen L-förmigem oder F-förmigem Querschnitt, aufweisen, der ausgebildet ist, sowohl zum Stapeln des Koffers mit dem anderen Koffer als auch zum Befestigen an der Befestigungsstruktur der Wandhalterung beizutragen. Ein solcher Aufnahmefuß, der als Rastsockel mit Kopplungsnase ausgebildet werden kann, kann unterseitig über den Koffer hervorragen, wenn dieser auf einem ebenen Untergrund steht. Der oder die Aufnahmefüße kann oder können überdies beim Stapeln eines Koffers auf einem anderen, insbesondere gleichartigen Koffer zum Einsatz kommen. Sie können schließlich synergistisch mitverwendet werden, um den Koffer an der Wandhalterung zu befestigen.According to an exemplary embodiment, the coupling structures of the case can have a receiving foot, in particular with an essentially L-shaped or F-shaped cross-section, which is designed both for stacking the case with the other case and for fastening to the fastening structure of the Wall bracket to contribute. Such a receiving foot, which can be designed as a latching base with a coupling lug, can protrude from the underside of the case when it is on a level surface. The receiving foot or feet can moreover be used when stacking one suitcase on another, in particular similar, suitcase. Finally, they can be used synergistically to attach the case to the wall bracket.
Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn der mindestens eine Aufnahmefuß (siehe Bezugszeichen 34, 36, 38 in der Figur) ausgebildet ist, nicht nur zum Montieren des Koffers an der Wandhalterung (siehe
Ein solcher Aufnahmefuß kann sich ausgehend von einer einen Kofferboden bildenden Hauptfläche des Koffers aus nach unten erstrecken. Vorzugsweise kann senkrecht zu dieser Erstreckungsrichtung, weiter vorzugsweise nach innen ragend, eine Kopplungsnase oder dergleichen an den Aufnahmefuß angeformt sein. Wird der Aufnahmefuß in einen Aufnahmeraum zwischen einer an der Wand anliegenden Wandanlagefläche der Wandhalterung und einer davon beabstandeten Befestigungsfläche (mit der Befestigungsstruktur) der Wandhalterung eingeführt, so kann die vom Kofferboden aus nach unten vorragende Struktur in einer Einlauföffnung der Befestigungsstruktur aufgenommen werden und die Kopplungsnase in den Aufnahmeraum eingeführt werden. Die Kopplungsnase und die Einlauföffnung können relativ zueinander so geformt und dimensioniert sein, dass die Kopplungsnase im an der Wandhalterung montierten Zustand des Koffers (aufgrund des ausgebildeten Formschlusses bzw. Hinterschnittes) nicht ohne vertikales Anheben des Koffers von der Wandhalterung abgezogen werden kann bzw. im Klemmzustand nicht durch die Einlauföffnung hindurchgeführt werden kann.Such a receiving foot can extend downward from a main surface of the case that forms a case base. A coupling nose or the like can preferably be formed on the receiving foot perpendicular to this direction of extension, further preferably inwardly. If the receiving foot is inserted into a receiving space between a wall contact surface of the wall bracket resting against the wall and a fastening surface (with the fastening structure) of the wall bracket spaced therefrom, the structure protruding downward from the bottom of the case can be received in an inlet opening of the fastening structure and the coupling nose in be introduced into the recording room. The coupling nose and the inlet opening can be shaped and dimensioned relative to one another in such a way that the coupling nose cannot be pulled off the wall holder without lifting the case vertically or in the clamped state when the case is mounted on the wall bracket (due to the form fit or undercut) cannot be passed through the inlet opening.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel können die Kopplungsstrukturen an dem Koffer und die anderen Kopplungsstrukturen an dem anderen Koffer in entsprechender oder identischer Weise angeordnet sein, so dass alternativ zu dem Koffer der andere Koffer an der Wandhalterung befestigbar ist. Somit kann die Wandhalterung für einen ganzen Satz von Koffern eingesetzt werden, sofern diese nur mit der Befestigungsstruktur zusammenwirkfähige Kopplungsstrukturen aufweisen.According to an exemplary embodiment, the coupling structures on the case and the other coupling structures on the other case can be arranged in a corresponding or identical manner, so that the other case can be attached to the wall bracket as an alternative to the case. The wall bracket can thus be used for a whole set of suitcases, provided that these only have coupling structures that can interact with the fastening structure.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel können der Koffer und der andere Koffer identisch oder mit unterschiedlicher Größe, insbesondere unterschiedlicher Höhe und/oder mit unterschiedlicher Breite, ausgebildet sein. Die unterschiedlichen Koffer können unterschiedliche Dimensionen haben, aber eine hinsichtlich Form und räumlicher Anordnung einander entsprechende Konfiguration von Kopplungsstrukturen aufweisen, die von den Befestigungsstrukturen der Wandhalterung in Eingriff genommen werden können.According to an exemplary embodiment, the case and the other case can be designed identically or with different sizes, in particular different heights and / or different widths. The different suitcases can have different dimensions, but have a configuration of coupling structures that correspond to one another in terms of shape and spatial arrangement, which coupling structures can be engaged by the fastening structures of the wall bracket.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann der Koffer einen Korpus und einen mit dem Korpus verbundenen oder verbindbaren Deckel aufweisen, wobei in einem Schließzustand zwischen dem Korpus und dem Deckel ein Aufnahmeraum zum Aufnehmen von Transportgut von außen unzugänglich gebildet ist, und wobei in einem Öffnungszustand der Aufnahmeraum von außen zugänglich ist. Insbesondere kann zum Überführen des Koffers zwischen dem Schließzustand und dem Öffnungszustand der Deckel gegenüber dem Korpus umgeklappt werden.According to an exemplary embodiment, the case can have a body and a lid that is or can be connected to the body, wherein in a closed state between the body and the lid a receiving space for receiving goods to be transported is formed inaccessible from the outside, and in an open state the receiving space from is accessible from the outside. In particular, to transfer the case between the closed state and the open state, the lid can be folded over with respect to the body.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann zumindest ein Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen ausgebildet sein, sowohl zu einem vertikal abnehmbar verschiebegesicherten Stapeln des Koffers auf dem anderen Koffer als auch zu einem vertikal unabnehmbar miteinander Koppeln des Koffers mit dem anderen Koffer beizutragen. Die Kopplungsstrukturen können also derart konfiguriert sein, dass ein Benutzer den Koffer wahlweise in den in Bezug auf den anderen Koffer gestapelten oder den miteinander gekoppelten Zustand überführen kann. Dies begünstigt ein kompaktes Ausbilden des Koffers. Gleichzeitig können die zum Stapeln bzw. Koppeln eingesetzten Kopplungsstrukturen synergistisch zum Befestigen eines jeweiligen der Koffer an der Wandhalterung eingesetzt werden, indem diese beispielsweise korrespondierende Abschnitte aufweisen.According to an exemplary embodiment, at least some of the coupling structures can be designed to contribute both to a vertically detachable, shift-secured stacking of the case on the other case and to a vertically undetachable coupling of the case to the other case. The coupling structures can therefore be configured in such a way that a user can selectively transfer the case into the state that is stacked with respect to the other case or into the state that is coupled to one another. This favors a compact design of the case. At the same time, the coupling structures used for stacking or coupling can be used synergistically for fastening a respective one of the suitcases to the wall bracket, in that they have, for example, corresponding sections.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann zumindest ein Teil der die Kopplungsstrukturen ausgebildet sein, dass der Koffer und der andere Koffer in dem übereinander vertikal unabnehmbar miteinander gekoppelten Zustand selektiv gegeneinander verschiebbar sind oder mittels Betätigens eines Teils der Kopplungsstrukturen gegeneinander verschiebesicherbar sind. Zusätzlich zu den beiden zuvor beschriebenen Verbindungszuständen der Koffer und dem Verbindungszustand Koffer-Wandhalterung ist es daher ermöglicht, dass die Koffer in dem unabnehmbaren Zustand gesichert oder entsichert werden. Auch dies kann vorteilhaft durch die multifunktionalen Kopplungsstrukturen bewerkstelligt werden.According to an exemplary embodiment, at least a part of the coupling structures can be designed so that the case and the other case can be selectively displaced relative to one another in the vertically undetachably coupled state one above the other or can be secured against one another by actuating part of the coupling structures. In addition to the two previously described connection states of the case and the connection state of the case-wall mount, it is therefore possible to that the cases are secured or unlocked in the non-removable state. This, too, can advantageously be achieved through the multifunctional coupling structures.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann ein Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen sowohl zum vertikal abnehmbar verschiebegesicherten Stapeln als auch zum vertikal unabnehmbar miteinander Koppeln beitragen. Dies hält den Aufwand beim Herstellen des Koffers gering und erlaubt es, den Koffer leichtgewichtig auszuführen, da die Kopplungsstrukturen zum Erfüllen von unterschiedlichen Funktionen konfiguriert sind.According to an exemplary embodiment, some of the coupling structures can contribute both to the vertically detachable, shift-secured stacking and to the vertically undetachable coupling to one another. This keeps the outlay on producing the case low and allows the case to be designed to be lightweight, since the coupling structures are configured to fulfill different functions.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann ein Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen, die in dem übereinander vertikal unabnehmbar miteinander gekoppelten Zustand zum Verschiebesichern beitragen, unabhängig von einem anderen Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen ausgebildet und betätigbar sein, die zum vertikal abnehmbar verschiebegesicherten Stapeln als auch zum vertikal unabnehmbar miteinander Koppeln beitragen. Dies vereinfacht für einen Benutzer die Handhabung der Koffer.According to an exemplary embodiment, some of the coupling structures, which contribute to securing displacement in the vertically inextricably coupled state on top of one another, can be designed and actuated independently of another part of the coupling structures, which contribute to vertically removable, displaceably secured stacking as well as to vertically undetachable coupling. This simplifies the handling of the suitcase for a user.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann ein Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen, mit denen der Koffer und der andere Koffer übereinander vertikal abnehmbar verschiebegesichert stapelbar sind, in Form von Rastnocken an äußeren oberseitigen Kantenbereichen des Korpus sowie in Form von Rastsockeln bzw. Aufnahmefüßen mit mit den Rastnocken im gestapelten Zustand zusammenwirkenden unterseitigen Aufnahmenuten an äußeren unterseitigen Kantenbereichen des Korpus ausgebildet sein. Diese Rastsockel oder Aufnahmefüße können zum Befestigen des Koffers an der Wandhalterung synergistisch mitverwendet werden.According to an exemplary embodiment, a part of the coupling structures with which the case and the other case can be stacked vertically, detachably and secured against displacement, in the form of locking cams on the outer top edge areas of the body and in the form of locking sockets or mounting feet with the locking cams in the stacked state cooperating underside receiving grooves on outer underside edge regions of the body. These locking bases or mounting feet can be used synergistically to attach the case to the wall bracket.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann ein Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen, mit denen der Koffer und der andere Koffer übereinander vertikal unabnehmbar miteinander koppelbar sind, in Form von Führungsschienen an äußeren oberseitigen Kantenbereichen des Korpus sowie in Form von mit den Führungsschienen im gekoppelten Zustand zusammenwirkenden unterseitigen Koppelnasen an äußeren unterseitigen Kantenbereichen des Korpus ausgebildet sein. Dies stellt eine mechanisch vorteilhafte Lösung dar, welche die Stapelfunktion und die Befestigungsfunktion an der Wandhalterung nicht stört. Diese Koppelnasen können zum Befestigen des Koffers an der Wandhalterung synergistisch mitverwendet werden.According to an exemplary embodiment, some of the coupling structures, with which the case and the other case can be vertically and undetachably coupled to one another, can be in the form of guide rails on the outer upper edge areas of the body and in the form of lower-side coupling lugs on outer surfaces that interact with the guide rails in the coupled state underside Be formed edge areas of the body. This represents a mechanically advantageous solution which does not interfere with the stacking function and the fastening function on the wall bracket. These coupling lugs can be used synergistically to attach the case to the wall bracket.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann ein Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen, mit dem der Koffer und der andere Koffer in dem übereinander vertikal unabnehmbar miteinander gekoppelten Zustand gegeneinander verschiebesicherbar sind, in Form von Aufnahmenuten und damit zusammenwirkenden Rastschiebern ausgebildet sein, wobei die Rastschieber insbesondere an dem Korpus des einen Koffers in die Aufnahmenuten insbesondere an dem Korpus des anderen Koffers einschiebbar sind. Dies stellt eine herstellungstechnisch einfache Lösung dar, welche die Stapelfunktion und die Befestigungsfunktion an der Wandhalterung nicht stört.According to an exemplary embodiment, a part of the coupling structures, with which the case and the other case can be locked against each other in the vertically undetachable coupled state, can be designed in the form of receiving grooves and interacting locking slides, the locking slides in particular on the body of the one Suitcase can be pushed into the receiving grooves, in particular on the body of the other suitcase. This represents a simple solution in terms of production technology, which does not interfere with the stacking function and the fastening function on the wall bracket.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann zumindest ein Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen, insbesondere mindestens ein verschiebbar ausgebildeter Rastschieber, ausgebildet sein, den Koffer und die Wandhalterung unabnehmbar zu koppeln. Insbesondere kann die Montagebasis (insbesondere wenn diese als U-Profil ausgebildet ist) der Wandhalterung einen zur Wandseite hin offenen Hohlraum aufweisen, in den durch Verschieben des Rastschiebers relativ zu einem Korpus des Koffers der Rastschieber eingeführt werden kann und dadurch mit Verriegelungsstrukturen an der Montagebasis zum unabnehmbaren Koppeln von Koffer und Wandhalterung in Eingriff geraten kann. Durch diese Maßnahme können die Synergien der Kopplungsstrukturen zum Koppeln mehrerer Koffer einerseits oder zum Koppeln eines Koffers an der Wandhalterung andererseits weiter verstärkt werden.According to an exemplary embodiment, at least some of the coupling structures, in particular at least one slidably designed locking slide, can be designed to permanently couple the case and the wall bracket. In particular, the mounting base (especially if it is designed as a U-profile) of the wall bracket can have a cavity that is open to the wall side, into which the locking slide can be inserted by moving the locking slide relative to a body of the case and thereby with locking structures on the mounting base can come into engagement with the undetachable coupling of the case and the wall bracket. By means of this measure, the synergies of the coupling structures for coupling several suitcases on the one hand or for coupling a suitcase to the wall bracket on the other hand can be further enhanced.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Montagebasis ein U-Profil aufweisen. Ein erster flächiger Bereich des U-Profils kann im montierten Zustand an der Wand anliegen, wohingegen ein gegenüberliegender anderer flächiger Bereich des U-Profils im montierten Zustand gegenüber der Wand beanstandet ist und die Befestigungsstrukturen zum Aufnehmen der Kopplungsstrukturen des Koffers aufweisen kann. Zwischen den beiden flächigen Bereichen ist ein Aufnahmeraum zum Aufnehmen eines Teils der Kopplungsstrukturen, insbesondere eines Teils eines Aufnahmefußes, gebildet. Der Koffer ist vorteilhaft gemäß
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Wandhalterung ein oder zwei gebogene und gestanzte Bleche aufweisen oder daraus bestehen. Somit kann die Wandhalterung ausschließlich durch Biegen und Stanzen eines kostengünstigen und stabilen Metallblechs hergestellt werden. Durch das Biegen kann eine Beabstandung eines Abschnitts der Wandhalterung von der Wand ein- und sichergestellt werden. Durch das Stanzen kann die Befestigungsstruktur bzw. können Montagelöcher ausgebildet werden. Alternativ kann die Wandhalterung auch aus Kunststoff hergestellt werden, zum Beispiel als Spritzgussteil.According to an exemplary embodiment, the wall bracket can have or consist of one or two bent and stamped metal sheets. The wall bracket can thus be produced exclusively by bending and punching an inexpensive and stable metal sheet. By bending, a spacing of a section of the wall bracket from the wall can be set in and ensured. The fastening structure or mounting holes can be formed by the punching. Alternatively, the wall bracket can also be made of plastic, for example as an injection molded part.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Montagebasis mindestens ein Durchgangsloch zum Durchführen mindestens eines Befestigungselements, insbesondere einer Schraube oder eines Clips, aufweisen. Ein solches Befestigungselement kann zum Befestigen der Montagebasis an der Wand (zum Beispiel einer Gebäudewand oder einer als Lochplatte ausgebildeten Wand, die ihrerseits wiederum an einer Gebäude- oder Kraftfahrzeugwand angebracht sein kann) ausgebildet sein. Andere Befestigungselemente, zum Beispiel Nägel, Nieten oder Bolzen sind ebenfalls möglich.According to an exemplary embodiment, the mounting base can have at least one through hole for passing through at least one fastening element, in particular a screw or a clip. Such a fastening element can be designed for fastening the mounting base to the wall (for example a building wall or a wall designed as a perforated plate, which in turn can be attached to a building or motor vehicle wall). Other fastening elements, for example nails, rivets or bolts, are also possible.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Einlauföffnung sich ausgehend von dem Rand der Montagebasis aus verjüngen, insbesondere eine sich V-förmig verjüngende Einlauföffnung sein, und zum klemmenden Befestigen der Kopplungsstrukturen ausgebildet sein, wenn die Kopplungsstrukturen weit genug in die sich verjüngende Einlauföffnung eingeführt sind. Durch die Verjüngung zentriert sich der Koffer beim Einführen in die Wandhalterung vorteilhaft selbst und wird schließlich selbsttätig verklemmt, wenn die Verjüngung eine Dimension der entsprechenden Kopplungsstruktur des Koffers erreicht hat.According to an exemplary embodiment, the inlet opening can taper starting from the edge of the mounting base, in particular it can be an inlet opening that tapers in a V-shape, and it can be designed to clamp the coupling structures when the coupling structures are inserted far enough into the tapering inlet opening. As a result of the tapering, the case centers itself advantageously when it is inserted into the wall bracket and is ultimately automatically clamped when the tapering has reached one dimension of the corresponding coupling structure of the case.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann sich an die sich verjüngende Einlauföffnung innenseitig ein verjüngungsfreier (zum Beispiel schlitzförmiger) Hohlabschnitt anschließen, der zum im Wesentlichen spaltfreien Aufnehmen eines Endes der Kopplungsstrukturen (insbesondere eines Teils des Aufnahmefußes) ausgebildet ist. Der Hohlabschnitt kann ein geradliniger Abschnitt sein, der eine korrekte Positionierung der Kopplungsstruktur im endgültigen Verbindungszustand zwischen Koffer und Wandhalterung sicherstellen kann. Am Ende des Hohlabschnitts kann ein Endanschlag ausgebildet sein, der einem Benutzer beim vollständigen Einführen des Koffers in die Wandhalterung eine haptische und/oder akustische Rückmeldung gibt, dass die Wandmontage erfolgreich abgeschlossen ist.According to an exemplary embodiment, the tapering inlet opening can be followed on the inside by a taper-free (for example slot-shaped) hollow section which is designed to receive one end of the coupling structures (in particular part of the receiving foot) essentially without a gap. The hollow section can be a rectilinear section that can ensure correct positioning of the coupling structure in the final connection state between the case and the wall bracket. An end stop can be formed at the end of the hollow section, which gives a user haptic and / or acoustic feedback that the wall mounting has been successfully completed when the case is completely inserted into the wall bracket.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann an der Einlauföffnung eine Klemmnase vorgesehen sein, die zum klemmenden Befestigen der Kopplungsstrukturen ausgebildet ist, wenn die Kopplungsstrukturen bis zur Klemmnase in die Einlauföffnung eingeführt sind. Eine solche Klemmnase kann als räumlich definierter Überstand an einer vorgebbaren Position der Befestigungsstruktur ausgebildet sein und erlaubt es, die Klemmung auch räumlich sehr präzise zu definieren.According to an exemplary embodiment, a clamping nose can be provided on the inlet opening, which is designed to clamp the coupling structures when the coupling structures are inserted into the inlet opening up to the clamping nose. Such a clamping nose can be designed as a spatially defined protrusion at a predeterminable position of the fastening structure and allows the clamping to be defined spatially very precisely.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Einlauföffnung zum Befestigen des stapelbaren Koffers derart angeordnet sein, dass eine Einführrichtung beim Einführen der Befestigungsstrukturen in die Einlauföffnung im Wesentlichen gleich einer Wirkrichtung der Gravitationskraft ist. Anders ausgedrückt kann im montierten Zustand der Wandhalterung die Einlauföffnung vertikal nach unten verlaufend angeordnet sein, so dass die erforderliche Muskelkraft eines Benutzers zum Ausbilden eines Kopplungszustands zwischen dem Koffer und der Wandhalterung äußerst gering ist. Anschaulich unterstützt aufgrund der beschriebenen Geometrie die Gravitationskraft einen Benutzer beim Aufbringen einer Klemmkraft zum Verklemmen des Koffers an der Wandhalterung.According to an exemplary embodiment, the inlet opening for fastening the stackable suitcase can be arranged in such a way that an insertion direction when inserting the fastening structures into the inlet opening is essentially the same as an effective direction of the gravitational force. In other words, in the mounted state of the wall bracket, the inlet opening can be arranged running vertically downwards, so that the muscle power required by a user to establish a coupling state between the case and the wall bracket is extremely low. Due to the geometry described, the gravitational force clearly supports a user when applying a clamping force to clamp the case to the wall bracket.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Wandhalterung zum Befestigen eines Aufnahmebehälters mit weiteren Kopplungsstrukturen verdrehbar (insbesondere um 90° verdrehbar) sein. Neben der Befestigung von Koffern kann die Wandhalterung damit auch die Möglichkeit bieten, Kunststoffbehälter zu halten. Durch eine einzige Schwenkbewegung um eine Vierteldrehung kann ein Benutzer die Wandhalterung zwischen einem Betriebszustand zum Aufnehmen eines Koffers und einem anderen Betriebszustand zum Aufnehmen eines Aufnahmebehälters (zum Beispiel einer Plastikbox, wie beispielsweise beschrieben in
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Wandhalterung eine Klemmvorkehrung (insbesondere ausgebildet als Falz oder Randverdickung der Montagebasis) aufweisen, die zum klemmenden Befestigen des Aufnahmebehälters ausgebildet ist. Eine solche Ausführungsform kann besonders vorteilhaft mit der oben beschriebenen Ausführungsform kombiniert werden, derzufolge die Wandhalterung als gebogenes und gestanztes Blech ausgebildet ist. Ein Ende des Blechs braucht nur zurückgebogen werden, um den Falz unter Bereitstellung der Klemmvorkehrung auszubilden.According to an exemplary embodiment, the wall bracket can have a clamping provision (in particular designed as a fold or thickened edge of the mounting base), which is designed to clamp the receiving container. Such an embodiment can be combined particularly advantageously with the embodiment described above, according to which the wall bracket is designed as a bent and stamped sheet metal. One end of the sheet only needs to be bent back in order to form the fold with the provision of the clamping provision.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Wandhalterung aus zwei separaten Bauteilen gebildet sein, die voneinander beabstandet an der Wand zu montieren sind und von denen jedes eine Befestigungsstruktur aufweist. Insbesondere kann die Wandhalterung dann als zweites Bauteil eine weitere Montagebasis zum Anbringen an der Wand und mindestens eine weitere Befestigungsstruktur zum Befestigen von zumindest einem Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen des stapelbaren Koffers aufweisen, wobei die mindestens eine weitere Befestigungsstruktur ausgebildet sein kann, das Befestigen des Koffers an der Wandhalterung durch Zusammenwirken mit zumindest einem Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen unter Ausbildung einer weiteren Klemmbefestigung zu bewerkstelligen. Die mindestens eine weitere Befestigungsstruktur kann eine sich ausgehend von einem Rand der Montagebasis aus erstreckende weitere Einlauföffnung aufweisen, die zum Einführen zumindest eines Teils der Kopplungsstrukturen des Koffers ausgebildet ist. Insbesondere kann das erste Bauteil in einem ersten Randbereich des Koffers für eine Befestigung sorgen und kann das zweite Bauteil in einem dem ersten Randbereich gegenüberliegenden zweiten Randbereich desselben Koffers für eine Befestigung sorgen. Die beiden Bauteile können zueinander spiegelsymmetrisch ausgebildet sein. Sind sie jeweils als U-Profil ausgebildet, können im montierten Zustand die beiden Öffnungen der U-Profile einander zugewandt sein. Das Vorsehen von zwei separaten Bauteilen zur Wandmontage des Koffers hält das erforderliche Material zum Herstellen der Wandhalterung besonders gering. Alternativ kann die Wandhalterung auch einstückig oder mindestens dreistückig ausgebildet sein.According to an exemplary embodiment, the wall bracket can be formed from two separate components which are to be mounted on the wall at a distance from one another and each of which has a fastening structure. In particular, the wall bracket can then have, as a second component, a further mounting base for attaching to the wall and at least one further fastening structure for fastening at least part of the coupling structures of the stackable case, wherein the at least one further fastening structure can be designed to fasten the case to the To accomplish wall mounting by interacting with at least part of the coupling structures with the formation of a further clamp fastening. The at least one further fastening structure can have a further inlet opening which extends from an edge of the mounting base and which is designed for inserting at least part of the coupling structures of the case is. In particular, the first component can ensure fastening in a first edge region of the case and the second component can ensure fastening in a second edge region of the same case opposite the first edge region. The two components can be designed with mirror symmetry to one another. If they are each designed as a U-profile, the two openings of the U-profiles can face one another in the assembled state. The provision of two separate components for wall mounting the case keeps the material required for producing the wall bracket particularly small. Alternatively, the wall bracket can also be designed in one piece or at least in three pieces.
Alternativ zum Vorsehen der zwei Bauteile als separate, getrennt voneinander handhabbare Bauteile kann die Wandhalterung eine Verbindungsstruktur aufweisen, mittels welcher die zwei Bauteile miteinander einstückig verbunden sind. Dann kann die Wandhalterung mit den beiden Bauteilen und der diese dauerhaft verbindenden Verbindungsstruktur auch als eine einzige, gemeinsam handhabbare und untrennbare Struktur ausgebildet werden, was den Benutzerkomfort erhöht. Die Verbindungsstruktur kann zum Beispiel eine Verbindungsstrebe oder ein Profil sein.As an alternative to providing the two components as separate components that can be handled separately from one another, the wall bracket can have a connection structure by means of which the two components are connected to one another in one piece. Then the wall bracket with the two components and the connecting structure permanently connecting them can also be designed as a single, jointly manageable and inseparable structure, which increases the user comfort. The connection structure can be, for example, a connection strut or a profile.
Immer noch bezugnehmend auf das zuvor beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel können gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel die Verbindungsstruktur und die zwei Bauteile zum Verschieben von mindestens einem der zwei Bauteile entlang der Verbindungsstruktur zum Einstellen eines Abstands zwischen den zwei Bauteilen ausgebildet sein. Bei dieser besonders bevorzugten Variante kann der Vorteil von nur einer zu handhabenden Struktur mit der flexiblen Einstellbarkeit der Wandhalterung auf unterschiedliche Koffergrößen kombiniert werden. Bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung kann zum Beispiel eines der Bauteile oder können beide Bauteile an der Verbindungsstruktur längsverschiebbar montiert sein, sodass deren Abstand benutzerdefiniert eingestellt werden kann. Vorteilhaft kann ein jeweiliges der längsverschiebbar montierten Bauteile an einer gewünschten Position entlang der Verbindungsstruktur arretiert werden, zum Beispiel durch eine Arretierschraube.Still referring to the embodiment described above, according to a further embodiment, the connection structure and the two components can be designed to move at least one of the two components along the connection structure for adjusting a distance between the two components. In this particularly preferred variant, the advantage of only one structure to be handled can be combined with the flexible adjustability of the wall mount to different case sizes. In such a configuration, for example, one of the components or both components can be mounted on the connecting structure in a longitudinally displaceable manner, so that their spacing can be set in a user-defined manner. Each of the longitudinally displaceably mounted components can advantageously be locked at a desired position along the connection structure, for example by means of a locking screw.
Gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Wandhalterung unter geringem Fertigungsaufwand einstoffig, zum Beispiel aus Kunststoff oder Metall, hergestellt sein.According to one exemplary embodiment, the wall bracket can be manufactured from one material, for example from plastic or metal, with little manufacturing effort.
Gemäß einem alternativen Ausführungsbeispiel kann jedoch die mindestens eine Befestigungsstruktur zumindest teilweise aus einem mechanisch und/oder akustisch dämpfenden Material (zum Beispiel aus Gummi oder einem Weichkunststoff) ausgebildet sein, wobei zumindest ein Abschnitt des dämpfenden Materials mit zumindest einem Abschnitt des Teils der Kopplungsstrukturen zum Ausbilden einer mechanisch und/oder gedämpften Klemmbefestigung zusammenwirkt. Ein derartiges Element aus Gummi oder einem Weichkunststoff als Teil der Wandhalterung kann zum Beispiel ebenfalls im Wesentlichen V-förmig ausgebildet sein, den Rastfuß des Koffers zumindest teilweise umschließen und den Koffer dadurch gepuffert halten. Dies kann unerwünschte mechanische Vibrationen und Klappergeräusche unterdrücken.According to an alternative embodiment, however, the at least one fastening structure can be at least partially formed from a mechanically and / or acoustically damping material (for example from rubber or a soft plastic), at least a portion of the damping material with at least a portion of the part of the coupling structures to form a mechanical and / or damped clamp fastening interacts. Such an element made of rubber or a soft plastic as part of the wall bracket can, for example, also be essentially V-shaped, at least partially enclose the latching foot of the case and thereby hold the case in a buffered manner. This can suppress unwanted mechanical vibrations and rattling noises.
Der oben beschriebene Kunststoffbehälter und/oder die oben beschriebene Lochplatte kann oder können Teil einer erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung sein.The plastic container described above and / or the perforated plate described above can be part of an arrangement according to the invention.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel kann der Koffer nach der Wandmontage wieder (insbesondere händisch bzw. werkzeugfrei) von der Wandhalterung abgenommen werden und nachfolgend auf dem anderen Koffer mittels zumindest eines Teils der Kopplungsstrukturen horizontal verschiebegesichert gestapelt und/oder mit dem anderen Koffer vertikal unabnehmbar gekoppelt werden. Alternativ oder ergänzend kann der Koffer nach seiner Wandmontage wieder (insbesondere wiederum händisch bzw. werkzeugfrei) von der Wandhalterung abgenommen werden und kann nachfolgend der andere Koffer durch Zusammenwirken der mindestens einen Befestigungsstruktur mit zumindest einem Teil von anderen Kopplungsstrukturen des anderen Koffers an der Wandhalterung befestigt werden. Dabei kann zumindest ein Teil der anderen Kopplungsstrukturen beim Stapeln der Koffer mit zumindest einem Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen zusammenwirken. Somit kann der Koffer mit wenigen Handbewegungen zwischen einem Befestigungszustand an der Wandhalterung, einem Benutzungszustand und einem an einem anderen Koffer gestapelten oder gekoppelten Zustand überführt werden. Auch kann mit einem Handgriff die Wandhalterung zwischen einer Konfiguration zum Aufnehmen des Koffers und einer Konfiguration zum Aufnehmen des Aufnahmebehälters überführt werden. Das System aus Koffer(n) und Wandhalterung kann somit universell kombiniert werden, wobei immer dieselben Kopplungs- und Befestigungsstrukturen zum Einsatz kommen können.According to an exemplary embodiment, the case can be removed from the wall bracket again (in particular manually or without tools) after wall mounting and then stacked on the other case by means of at least part of the coupling structures so that it cannot be moved horizontally and / or vertically and cannot be removed from the other case. As an alternative or in addition, the case can be removed from the wall bracket again (in particular again by hand or without tools) after it has been mounted on the wall and the other case can then be attached to the wall bracket by the interaction of the at least one fastening structure with at least some of the other coupling structures of the other case . At least some of the other coupling structures can interact with at least some of the coupling structures when the suitcases are stacked. Thus, with just a few hand movements, the case can switch between a state of attachment to the wall bracket, a state of use and one to another Suitcases can be transferred in a stacked or coupled state. The wall bracket can also be switched between a configuration for receiving the suitcase and a configuration for receiving the receptacle with one movement. The system of case (s) and wall bracket can thus be combined universally, whereby the same coupling and fastening structures can always be used.

Bevor bezugnehmend auf die Figuren exemplarische Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung beschrieben werden, sollen noch einige allgemeine Aspekte der Erfindung erläutert werden.Before exemplary embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the figures, some general aspects of the invention should be explained.
Gemäß einem exemplarischen Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist eine Wandhalterung in Form eines als gebogener Blechwinkel ausgebildeten U-Profils bereitgestellt, der eine V-förmige Ausnehmung als Einlauföffnung aufweist, in die ein Aufnahmefuß eines Koffers eingehängt werden kann. Der geweitete V-Bereich verjüngt sich vorzugsweise, je weiter der Koffer aufgeschoben wird. Durch die Verjüngung ergibt sich ein positiver Klemmeffekt zwischen Kofferfuß und Wandhalterung. Eine Wandhalterung kann vorzugsweise zwei derartige U-Profile (weiter vorzugsweise mit zueinander spiegelsymmetrischer Gestalt) aufweisen.According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a wall bracket is provided in the form of a U-profile designed as a bent sheet metal angle, which has a V-shaped recess as an inlet opening into which a base of a suitcase can be hung. The widened V-area preferably tapers the further the case is pushed open. The taper results in a positive clamping effect between the case base and the wall bracket. A wall bracket can preferably have two such U-profiles (further preferably with a shape that is mirror-symmetrical to one another).
Durch Drehen des Blechwinkels um 90° ergibt sich eine zusätzliche Anwendung der Wandhalterung für die Lagerung von Aufnahmebehältern, zum Beispiel aus Kunststoff. Durch eine drehungsbedingt entstehende vertikale Blechkante lassen sich die Kunststoffbehälter problemlos einhängen. Ein Blechfalz an der dann vertikalen Blechkante sorgt für einen Klemmeffekt der eingehängten Behälter im Profil und verhindert so ein unsachgemäßes Lösen.By turning the sheet metal bracket by 90 °, the wall bracket can also be used for storing receptacles made of plastic, for example. The plastic containers can be hung in without any problems thanks to a vertical sheet metal edge caused by rotation. A sheet metal fold on the then vertical sheet metal edge ensures a clamping effect of the suspended containers in the profile and thus prevents improper loosening.
Anstelle der oben beschriebenen Verjüngung kann der Klemmeffekt auch über eine definierte Rastnase am Profil gesteuert werden.Instead of the tapering described above, the clamping effect can also be controlled via a defined latch on the profile.
Eine zusätzliche Anlagefläche kann die Fußgeometrie des Koffers abstützen und bietet dem Koffer einen Endanschlag. Die Wandhalterung kann so ausgebildet sein, dass der Koffer einfach, schnell und störungsfrei entnehmbar ist. Durch einen definierten Klemmbereich kann verhindert werden, dass der Koffer unsachgemäß entnommen werden kann. Durch bloßes Drehen der Aufnahme um 90° können Systemboxen angebracht werden.An additional contact surface can support the base geometry of the case and offers the case an end stop. The wall bracket can be designed so that the case can be removed easily, quickly and without problems. A defined clamping area can prevent the case from being removed improperly. System boxes can be attached by simply turning the mount by 90 °.
Der Koffer 10 dient zum Transportieren von Transportgut. Solches Transportgut kann lose oder befestigt bzw. gesichert im Inneren des Koffers 10 aufgenommen sein und kann insbesondere in Aufnahmebehältern (nicht gezeigt) aufgenommen sein, die wiederum im geschlossenen Zustand des Koffers 10 in dessen Inneren sicher untergebracht sind. Beispiele für derartiges Transportgut sind Verbrauchsmaterialien (wie Schrauben, Nägel, Dübel, Schüttgut oder Flüssigkeiten) oder Werkzeuge (wie zum Beispiel Schraubendreher oder Bits), etc.The
Der Koffer 10 weist einen Korpus 12 und einen mit dem Korpus 12 verbundenen oder verbindbaren Deckel 14 auf. An den Innenseiten des Korpus 12 sind Verstärkungsrippen 28 zum mechanischen Verstärken des Koffers 10 gebildet. Diverse Kopplungsstrukturen 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 44 sind gemäß dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ausschließlich an dem Korpus 12, nicht hingegen an dem Deckel 14 angebracht. In dem Schließzustand zwischen dem Korpus 12 und dem Deckel 14 ist ein Aufnahmeraum zum Aufnehmen von Transportgut von außen unzugänglich zwischen dem Korpus 12 und dem Deckel 14 eingeschlossen. In dem Öffnungszustand ist der Aufnahmeraum von außen zugänglich, zum Beispiel um Transportgut aus dem Koffer 10 zu entnehmen oder in den Koffer 10 einzubringen.The
Die Kopplungsstrukturen 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 44 sind derart ausgebildet, dass der Koffer 10 und der identische andere Koffer 10' mittels der Kopplungsstrukturen 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 44 (die somit in identischer Weise auch an dem anderen Koffer 10' vorgesehen sind) wahlweise übereinander vertikal abnehmbar und horizontal verschiebegesichert stapelbar sind (Zustand I), oder vertikal unabnehmbar und horizontal verschiebbar miteinander koppelbar sind (Zustand II). Ferner können die Koffer 10, 10' gemäß
Um den Zustand I zu aktivieren, wird der Koffer 10 vertikal über dem anderen Koffer 10' angeordnet und nachfolgend so auf den anderen Koffer 10' abgesenkt, dass die Aufnahmenuten 36 an den Rastsockeln 34 des Koffers 10 in Eingriff mit den Rastnocken 30 des anderen Koffers 10' geraten. Die Aufnahmenuten 36 an den Rastsockeln 34 des Koffers 10 sowie die Rastnocken 30 des anderen Koffers 10' sorgen dann dafür, dass der Koffer 10 jederzeit wieder vertikal von dem anderen Koffer 10' abgehoben werden kann (das heißt durch eine zur Stapelbewegung inverse Bewegung), aber durch den Formschluss zwischen den Aufnahmenuten 36 an den Rastsockeln 34 des Koffers 10 und den Rastnocken 30 des anderen Koffers 10' vor einer Verschiebbarkeit in horizontaler Ebene geschützt ist.To activate state I, the
Um den Zustand II zu aktivieren, wird der Koffer 10 in der Horizontalebene vor dem anderen Koffer 10' angeordnet und vertikal leicht gegenüber dem anderen Koffer 10' angehoben, so dass die Kopplungsnasen 38 des Koffers 10 auf Höhe zwischen den Rastnocken 30 und den Stufen 32, mithin auf Höhe der Führungsschienen 30, 32 des anderen Koffers 10' angeordnet sind. Dann wird die Aktivierung des Zustands II abgeschlossen, indem der Koffer 10 so über den anderen Koffer 10' aufgeschoben wird, dass die Koppelnasen 38 des Koffers 10 zwischen die Rastnocken 30 und die Stufen 32, mithin in die Führungsschienen 30, 32, des anderen Koffers 10' einfahren. In dem Zustand II ist ein Abheben des Koffers 10 von dem anderen Koffer 10' aufgrund des Formschlusses zwischen den Koppelnasen 38 einerseits und den Rastnocken 30 bzw. den Stufen 32, daher mit dem Führungsschienen 30, 32 andererseits, verunmöglicht. Gleichzeitig ist ein Trennen des anderen Koffers 10' von dem Koffer 10 durch ein horizontales Abschieben des Koffers 10 von dem anderen Koffer 10' möglich, nämlich mit einer inversen Verschiebebewegung im Vergleich zu jener, mit der der Zustand II abgeschlossen wurde.To activate state II, the
Um ausgehend von dem Zustand II den Zustand III zu aktivieren, werden im aufeinander aufgeschobenen Zustand der Koffer 10, 10' durch eine vertikale Verschiebebewegung die Rastschieber 40 des Koffers 10 in die Aufnahmenuten 44 des anderen Koffers 10' eingeführt. In dem dadurch abgeschlossenen Zustand III ist nun auch eine Verschiebesicherung zwischen den Koffern 10, 10' ausgebildet, sodass nun weder ein vertikales Abheben noch ein horizontales Abschieben der Koffer 10, 10' voneinander möglich ist.In order to activate the state III starting from the state II, the
Ein Teil der Kopplungsstrukturen 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 44 (nämlich die Kopplungsstrukturen mit den Bezugszeichen 30, 34 mit 38) tragen sowohl zum vertikal abnehmbar verschiebegesicherten Stapeln als auch zum vertikal unabnehmbar miteinander Koppeln bei.Some of the
