Definitions

  • the invention relates to a collapsible transport box, consisting of a base plate, four inwardly foldable side walls arranged in pairs opposite one another and a plurality of hinges: articulation of the side walls to the base plate, two side walls arranged opposite one another directly and the other two side walls arranged opposite one another are articulated indirectly to the base plate via edges directed essentially perpendicular to the base plate.
  • a collapsible transport box of the type in question has long been known (see. DE-PS 24 36 254).
  • the side walls are provided with corresponding guide elements and guide recesses and locking elements in order to achieve a safe and stable connection of the side walls to one another when the transport box is unfolded.
  • the hinges assigned directly to the base plate hinges are attached on the one hand to the base plate itself and on the other hand to the respective side wall, so that these side walls come to lie directly on the base plate of the transport box when folded inward.
  • the side walls articulated indirectly to the base plate via edges have a slightly greater distance from the base plate at their lower edge and come to rest on the upper sides of the other side walls already folded in when they are folded inwards.
  • the known collapsible transport box is extremely flat in the collapsed state, which greatly improves its stowability.
  • this transport box does not yet meet all practical requirements.
  • moist or wet objects namely, the water collecting on the base plate or a corresponding other liquid runs out laterally, in particular on the hinges of the side walls articulated directly on the base plate.
  • moist or wet objects can actually be used the known collapsible transport box can not be easily transported.
  • the guide recesses are designed like an eye and are arranged on the side walls articulated over the edges of the base plate.
  • the guide elements arranged on the side walls articulated directly on the base plate engage in these eyelet-shaped guide recesses.
  • the eyelet-shaped guide recesses form, as it were, stops for the side walls articulated directly on the base plate when the transport box is open. In this way it is prevented that the side walls hinged directly to the base plate can be folded outwards.
  • the eyelet-shaped guide recesses are not operationally reliable in all cases, namely u. U. cancel. The stability of the known transport box in the opened state still leaves something to be desired.
  • the invention has for its object to design and develop the collapsible transport box of the type described in the introduction so that moist or wet objects can be transported better, and with this collapsible transport box the stability in the opened state and the reliability to improve.
  • the collapsible transport box according to the invention in which the above-mentioned object is achieved, is first characterized in that edge pieces directed essentially perpendicular to the base plate are provided in the region of the side walls which are hinged directly to the base plate and essentially perpendicular to the base plate. These edge pieces prevent water escaping from under the side walls which are hinged directly to the base plate - or another liquid - drips down from the base plate. This makes it possible to easily transport moist or wet objects with the collapsible transport box according to the invention.
  • the edge pieces are preferably formed in one piece with the base plate, which is recommended for manufacturing reasons. It is also advisable to connect the edge pieces laterally to the edges, via which the remaining side walls are articulated indirectly to the base plate.
  • the base plate, the edges and the edge pieces can of course also be integrally formed with each other, which is particularly recommended when manufacturing the collapsible plastic transport box. In any case, a trough-like base plate results, including the edges and edge pieces, which, depending on the dimensions, is able to hold very large amounts of liquid.
  • transport box according to the invention to provide the side walls articulated directly on the base plate with a sealing strip on their lower edges, so that, together with the edges provided in these areas, a double seal against the escape of water or others Liquids results.
  • the collapsible transport box is further characterized in that the side walls articulated over the edges of the base plate have edges that extend perpendicular to the base plate in the unfolded state and essentially over the entire length of the base plate Edge-running stop bars are provided for the side walls hinged directly to the base plate.
  • the stops previously formed by the edges of the eyelet-shaped guide recesses are now combined in stop bars which are substantially larger in terms of area, and on the one hand, the stability of the transport box according to the invention in folded state significantly improved and on the other hand the reliability is significantly increased by reduced risk of breakage.
  • the stop strips can be provided in addition to the guide elements or guide recesses, but they can also have the guide elements or guide recesses as integral components.
  • An additional advantage of the stop strips provided according to the invention is that, when the transport box is folded, they serve as outer protective strips running parallel to the base plate for the hinge areas of the side walls articulated directly on the base plate.
  • stop bars provided in the collapsible transport case according to the invention should be closed to the outside as far as possible when the transport case is open, it is advantageous if the guide elements are arranged on the stop bars.
  • the latching elements can be arranged on the side walls articulated over the edges on the base plate.
  • the locking elements can be designed as resilient locking lugs.
  • the connection of the side walls to one another in the region of the guide elements, guide recesses and locking elements must take place with a relatively large amount of play and / or the own elasticity of the material of the side walls must be used to enable the locking elements to be locked in place.
  • the locking elements themselves are designed as resilient locking lugs, the play at the connections of the side walls to one another can be considerably reduced or the elasticity of the material of the side walls as a whole need not be so great, so that there is greater freedom in the choice of materials.
  • Closing l i c h allow as resilient detent lugs formed locking elements, and in particular also easier folding of the transport box, so easier release of the side walls from one another.
  • These locking elements, which are designed as resilient locking lugs can be designed, for example, like pushbuttons or spring clips. There are, however, a large number of other design options that do not require detailed explanation.
  • the locking elements can of course also be arranged on the side walls articulated directly on the base plate instead of on the side walls articulated via the edges. In this case, too, it is advisable to design the locking elements as resilient locking lugs.
  • the latching elements are designed as resilient latching lugs, but not only then, it is expedient for structural reasons to arrange the latching elements on the edges of the corresponding side walls running perpendicular to the base plate in the opened state.
  • the side walls articulated over the edges of the base plate should then be provided with locking recesses corresponding to the locking elements.
  • the transport box 1 shown schematically in FIG. 1 basically consists of a base plate 2, four inwardly foldable side walls 3, 4 arranged in pairs opposite each other and a plurality of hinges 5 for articulating the side walls 3, 4 on the base plate 2.
  • Two each other opposite side walls 3 are hinged directly to the base plate 2.
  • the two other side walls 4 arranged opposite one another are articulated indirectly to the base plate 2 via edges 6 directed essentially perpendicular to the base plate 2.
  • the side walls 4 are provided with guide elements 7 and the side walls 3 are provided with guide recesses 8 corresponding to the guide elements 7.
  • locking elements 9 are also provided on the side walls 4.
  • edge pieces 10 are provided in the region of the side walls 3 hinged directly to the base plate 2 outside the hinges 5, essentially perpendicular to the base plate 2.
  • the edge pieces 10 are formed in one piece with the base plate 2 and the edges 6, which results in a trough-like configuration of the base plate 2.
  • the latter can be seen from Fig. 1. Due to the trough-like design of the base plate 2 by means of the edges 6 and the edge pieces 10, the transport box 1 shown is also suitable for transporting moist or wet objects.
  • Fig. 2 it also follows that the side walls 3 hinged directly to the base plate 2 are each provided with a sealing strip 11 on their lower edges.
  • the sealing strip 11 provides additional security against liquid running out and also additional stabilization of the collapsible transport box 1 as a whole.
  • the side walls 4 hinged to the base plate 2 via the edges 6 are at their edges 12 which, in the unfolded state, extend perpendicular to the base plate 2 and have stop sides 13 which extend essentially over the entire length of the edges 12 provided directly on the base plate 2 hinged side walls 3.
  • a particularly stable connection of the side walls 3, 4 in the opened state of the transport box 1 is made possible via the stop sides 13, and in the long term an unintentional folding out of the side walls 3 is reliably prevented.
  • the latching elements 9 are arranged on the side walls 4 hinged to the base plate 2 via the edges 6 and are designed as resilient latching lugs.
  • the detent elements 9 have a spring clip 14 connected at one end and centrally to the corresponding side wall 4 and one at the free end of the spring bracket 14 arranged, protruding toward the inside of the side wall 4 nose-like locking projection 15.
  • the side walls 3 come to rest against the abutment sides 13 of the side walls 4, a connection being established between the side walls 3, 4 via the guide elements 7 and the guide recesses 8.
  • the side walls 3 are gripped behind on their inner sides by the latching elements 9, ie the nose-like latching projection 15 of each latching element 9 grips behind the corresponding side wall 3.
