Definitions

  • This invention relates to a folding crate having two double standing longitudinal sides and two standing transverse sides, hooked into a bottom and into an upper frame, the upper frame having two protruding axle pins onto which a brace-shaped handle is hingedly mounted.
  • the invention aims at designing a folding crate of which the handle does not revolve with respect to the folding crate in the position of use, and of which the components, i.e. the folding crate proper and the brace-shaped handle can be easily assembled.
  • the extremity of said axle pins shows a widened round head having two straight walls that are opposed diametrically and narrowly fit into an elongated slit of the handle locally showing a cylindrical bore widened with respect to this slit, dimensioned such, that the handle may be revolved over 90° when said cylindrical bore, upon pushing the handle down, arrives at the height of the widened round heads of said axle pins.
  • Figure 1 is a side view of the longitudinal side of the folding crate according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the transverse side of the folding crate according to the invention.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective representation, on a much enlarged scale, of an extremity of an arm belonging to the handle of the folding crate according to the invention (vertical position of the handle).
  • Figure 4 is an analogous representation of an extremity of an arm belonging to the folding crate according to the invention (oblique position of the handle).
  • Figure 5 shows a detail of the folding crate according to the invention.
  • Figure 6 relates to another detail of the folding crate according to the invention.
  • the folding crate represented by these figures has a rectangular shape, with two longitudinal sides 1 and two transverse sides 2.
  • a brace-shaped handle 3 is mounted hingedly with respect to the transverse sides 2.
  • the transverse sides 2 each show an axle pin 4 having at its end a widened round head 5 with straight walls 6 that are opposed diametrically.
  • the axle pins 4 narrowly fit into an elongated slit 7 provided near the extremities of the arms 3' of the handle.
  • the upper part of the elongated slit 7 (considered in the vertical position of use of the handle) ends into a transverse cylindrical bore 8.
  • the bore 8 is dimensioned such, that when the handle is pushed down, the handle can be revolved over 90°.
  • the diameter of the widened round head 5 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the widened bore 8. After turning the handle, the latter rests on the edge 9 of the folding crate provided thereto. This edge may extend along the longitudinal sides, as well as partially along the transverse sides.
  • small elongated protrusions 10 projecting from these sides are provided on each transverse side. They keep the brace-shaped handle in its vertical position, but cannot prevent the handle to be brought from its vertical to a horizontal position by the user, on the one hand because their height is too insignificant, and, on the other hand, because the handle is manufactured of sufficiently resilient material.
  • the handle In its horizontal or lowered position, the handle cannot be removed.
  • the handle can only be mounted, i.e. snapped over the axle pins 4, when the axle pines are in line with the cylindrical bore 8 of the handle and when the arms 3' of the brace-shaped handle 3, due to the elasticity of the material they are composed of, are slightly drawn apart.
  • the folding crate is provided with longitudinal and transverse sides, respectively 1 and 2, hinging with respect to an upper frame component 11. These sides are connected hingedly with their extremities to this frame component 11.
  • the folding crate in particular the filled folding crate, is carried by its handle, the part of the frame component on which the axle pins 4 occur, shows a tendency of removing itself from the side wall concerned.
  • an additional hinge joint with the transverse side 2 is provided.
  • This hinge joint is formed by two pegs 12 directed at each other, over which two wings 13 with a central bore 14, belonging to the upper frame component 11 of the folding crate, are snapped.
  • the pegs 12 are situated on two reinforcing ribs 15 belonging to each of the transverse sides 2.
  • the handle shows a bore 16, into which a separate plug 17 delivered upon buying the folding crate, can be pushed permanently.
