Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container arrangement, comprising at least two stackable containers, each having a first engagement structure arranged on its upper side and a second engagement structure arranged on its underside, wherein the two engagement structures are matched to one another in such a way that, in the stacked state of two containers, the first one above Engaging structure of the lower container and the underlying second engagement structure of the upper container engage each other such that the two containers are secured against displacement transversely to the stacking direction relative to each other and on the other by engaging behind in a locking region transverse to the stacking Schugreif beauckerer the engagement structures a lifting of the upper Container of the lower container only partially preventing locking between the containers is present, such that the upper container to a Verriegelungsbere I have around witchnverschwenkbaren area, wherein on the containers at a distance from the locking area additionally at least one coupling device is arranged with which the upholsterednverschwenkbare region of the upper container can be fixed in a detachable manner inextricably on the lower container to
  • One from the DE 44 09 411 A1 known container assembly has a container designed as a packaging container, which is vertically stackable with its side-oriented opening with its like and also has means that allow for obtaining a uniformly manageable container composite coupling of each auffactitzenden container.
  • These coupling-enabling means include, inter alia, a first engagement structure arranged at the top consisting of two back hooks and two bolt-like protrusions arranged in the region of the front side.
  • a second engagement structure formed from recesses or recesses is formed, which is adapted to the components of the first engagement structure, that an upper container can be placed on a lower container in the context of a combined plug-pivot operation.
  • the upper container is first applied obliquely until the second engagement structure has hooked or engaged behind the hooks of the first engagement structure, then the upper container is lowered in its front region, until there by the engagement of the projections transversely secured to the stacking direction fixation ,
  • the Schugreif felter consisting of the hooks and the associated recesses of the engagement structures cause a mutual vertical fixation of the container in the rear tank area.
  • a corresponding fixation in the front container area by means of a plurality of additional coupling devices which have formed in the manner of rotating latches coupling means and which are also used to hold two of the container opening, laterally arranged lid walls to hold in the closed position, after they were superimposed by corresponding folding ,
  • a person using the container may easily be injured by the raised, exposed engagement structure located at the top of the container. Also, this raised first engagement structure obstructs the placement of other containers that do not have a correspondingly adapted second engagement structure. Another disadvantage is that the container when parking on uneven ground due to its smooth-surfaced underside can not be safely turned off and that possibly the lower container wall is pressed or damaged by unevenness of the ground.
  • a container arrangement is already known in which stackable containers are equipped with coupling devices which have rotating bars which allow a vertical coupling of stacked containers.
  • the rotary latch are each rotatably mounted on a lower part of the container and can be rotated in a past the lid arranged above passing coupling position in which they each engage behind an anchoring projection of the lower part arranged above.
  • the containers are provided with raised feet that can dip into engaging recesses formed on the top of the container to immovably fix the stacked containers transversely to the stacking direction. The feet do not participate in the vertical coupling of the containers.
  • a similar container arrangement discloses the EP 0 555 533 B1 in which, however, the coupling means of the coupling means serving for the vertical linking are designed as locking tabs pivotably mounted on the lower part of the container.
  • a container system which consists of stackable containers, each having at the top over a plurality of grooves and at the bottom over a plurality of projections. By relative rotation or displacement, stacking containers can be coupled together by engaging the grooves and projections with each other.
  • the US 5 606 820 A discloses a container assembly of the type mentioned, in which a plurality of containers are coupled together.
  • the containers to be coupled have interlocking engagement structures disposed at the top and bottom of the rear side, which are formed in the form of bolts and hook-like projections.
  • At the front of the container there is an additional locking means for releasably coupling the containers together.
  • At least one further stand is arranged spaced from the locking stand in the Essentiallynverschwenkbaren area of the container and forms a non-vertical locking serving pure support base by taking place within an engagement recess transverse to the stacking direction support a displacement protection of auffact sitting container causes.
  • the first engagement structure arranged on the upper side of the containers consists of recesses, the risk of injury when handling the containers is considerably reduced due to the lack of upwardly projecting sharp-edged protrusions.
  • the engagement projections cooperating with the engagement recesses are part of the arranged on the underside of the container second engagement structure and therefore in the usual handling of the container facing away from the user, so that there is no longer a risk of injury.
  • the upper container Due to the engaging elements of the engagement structures only a portion of the attached container is locked in the stacking direction. Around the locking area defined thereby, the upper container can then be pivoted in the height direction during attachment or detachment.
  • at least one additional coupling device is present, which is effective between the relatively pivotable portions of the container in a detachable manner, so that the actuation of the at least one coupling device, the vertical coupling is finally completed or canceled can be.
  • the second engagement structure has a plurality of feet, one or more of these feet form a locking stand and at least one other stand a support stand.
  • the locking pedestal functions as an undercut component with locking function in the stacking direction, while the support pedestal does not effect such locking and serves to provide support transverse to the stacking direction so that the stacking containers are relatively secure against displacement.
  • the at least one locking stand can additionally exercise such a support function serving to prevent displacement.
  • the second engagement structure includes at least two spaced-apart locking feet, which in the stacked state of two containers in each case a separate or in a jointly associated engagement recess the locking mechanism can engage the first engagement structure.
  • An advantage in this context is the realization of an additional locking bar, which also forms a Schugreif beauteil and extending between the two locking feet, whereby they can interlock intervene in an engagement recess of the first engagement contour. By this measure, the vertical force to be transmitted by the cooperating engagement structures on a relatively large area distributed, which increases the specific stress and thus the wear resistance.
  • the locking bar may be integrally formed with the two locking feet and conveniently has a lower height than these locking feet so that selbige continue to be deducted selectively on a substrate.
  • Each locking stand has for engaging behind the first engagement structure advantageously via a wedge-shaped profiled rear gripping portion, which is in particular oriented so that it points away from the at least one additional existing support base.
  • a wedge-shaped profiled rear gripping portion which is in particular oriented so that it points away from the at least one additional existing support base.
  • an opposite orientation would also be conceivable.
  • the first engagement contour conveniently has at least one locking engagement recess which has an undercut cross-section due to the fact that a rearward engagement projection oriented at right angles to the stacking direction is disposed at its edge from one into the locking engagement recess immersed locking stand can be locked behind.
  • the locking engagement recess may be readily adapted to be associated with its associated one Schugreifvorsprung all locking feet and a possibly existing locking bar can interact. In this way it is possible to realize at least one locking engagement recess having a preferably elongated shape, which acts in the manner of a stiffening bead and gives the container wall a high structural rigidity.
  • the supporting-supporting depressions serving to receive the supporting feet are laterally expediently equipped with an oblique sliding surface which supports the immersion process of the associated supporting pedestal and thus assumes a centering function when two containers are placed on one another.
  • Corresponding sliding surfaces can also be assigned to the at least one locking engagement recess if required.
  • each container has a handle that is accessible from the top for easy transport.
  • This carrying handle can conveniently be pivoted into a non-use position on the top of the container, so that it sunk into a receiving recess of the container comes to rest. In this way, the stacking of the container is not affected by the carrying handle and no special shape at the bottom of the container is required.
  • the receiving recess is simultaneously formed as an engagement recess of the first engagement structure and expediently forms a locking engagement recess with which the Schugreif senser the second engagement contour can interlock.
  • At least one locking engagement recess may be provided with dimensions such that it also forms a recessed grip useful for carrying the container, independently of any additional pivotal carrying handle.
  • the recessed grip is used in particular when the container is to be worn individually and has a low height, comparable to the dimensions of a briefcase, so that it can be transported in a vertical orientation, in which the handle equipped with the recessed top of the container sideways is.
  • the stackable container has a box-shaped or cup-shaped lower part having an opening and a cover associated with the opening of this lower part, which is movable relative to the lower part for selectively releasing or closing the opening of the lower part.
  • the lid can in principle be designed without permanent connection to the lower part, so that it can be completely removed when not in use. Convenient, however, is a design in which the lid is pivotally mounted on the lower part, wherein the pivot bearing is advantageously carried out in the region of the back.
  • the first engagement structure is expediently located at the top of the lid and the second engagement structure at the bottom of the base.

  • Such a design has the advantage that the mobility of the coupling means ensuring storage are relieved when manufactured coupling engagement, because by the coupling engagement, the two lower parts of the container to be coupled to each other are connected directly by the coupling means.
  • the storage means are therefore not or only insignificantly stressed by the transferred between the coupled containers carrying capacity and require no special reinforcement, so that they can be produced inexpensively.

  • the anchoring means of the lower part are expediently subdivided into first anchoring means closer to the cover and second anchoring means located closer to the underside. If two containers equipped with a matching coupling device are in contact with one another, a locking with the first anchoring means of the lower lower part and the second anchoring means of the upper lower part can thus be effected by turning the rotary latch arranged on the lower cover.
  • An advantage of the splitting of the anchoring means is that they can be mounted in any vertical spread on the base and thus regardless of the height dimensions of the lower part a problem-free locking of multiple containers is possible, including a lock between containers of different heights.
  • the rotary latch is equipped with adapted locking structures.
  • Both the anchoring means and the locking structures are suitably designed arcuate, so that they can be very easily brought into and out of engagement by turning the rotary latch and at the same time made in a coupling engagement due to the curved surface a large distribution of the loads to be transferred, which is the specific Load of individual components keeps extremely low.

  • the movable coupling means is movable except in the coupling position at least in a closed position in which it is decoupled from a seated on the associated container container, while still a lock between the lid and the lower part of the container in question produces.
  • the lid of the container is locked in the Absteckwolf and the container can be handled individually, without coupled further container.
  • the closed position of the coupling means it is too it is possible to place another container on the container without hindrance or to remove it from the container.
  • the coupling means is designed as a rotary latch, its rotational position assumed in the coupling position deviates from that in the closed position.
  • anchoring means is unnecessary.
  • the mutual offset of the locking structures in the direction of rotation is in particular so great that the rotary latch is rotatable in at least one open position in which the anchoring means arranged on the lower part lie between the mutually offset locking structures, so that the coupling engagement is canceled.
  • the lid can then lift off the base.
  • the conditions may be such that an upper container possibly seated on the container is then decoupled and can be removed.
  • the closed position thus has the same effect as the open position.
