Definitions

  • the invention relates to a case-like container for storing and transporting devices for personal and craft needs.
  • Devices of personal need are to be understood as devices that occur primarily in the household and that are usually used for reasons of order or their protection, especially when traveling with you, e.g. of shavers, hair dryers, travel alarm clocks, to name just a few such devices, are kept in a case.
  • Tools and measuring devices of an electrical and mechanical type are to be understood as devices of the manual need, which are usually accommodated in a case or case after use, on the one hand for protection reasons, on the other hand for reasons of clarity and quick access.
  • a hinged case consisting of a U-shaped frame and two flexible flaps attached to this frame. Due to the elastic padding on the two ends of the case, the inserted device is protected against pressure and impact loads that act on these sides.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a case-like container for the storage and transportation of devices for personal and craft needs, which reliably protects the inserted device against pressure and shock loads, holds the device in the inserted position on the one hand and on the other hand a light This device can be removed.
  • the container should also be designed so that there is no wear and tear with constant use with respect to the above properties and its production is made possible by relatively simple and inexpensive manufacturing processes.
  • the container is open at least on one side, that the side walls of the container form a device bed, that the side walls of the container are elastically and elastically stretchable in themselves, that the shape of the device bed the shape of the The device to be accommodated is completely or partially adapted and that the elastically stretchable side walls of the container are fully or partially in contact with the device to be accommodated and hold the device in its position in a form-fitting manner.
  • one or more recesses are provided in one or more of the elastically stretchable side walls.
  • These recesses have, for example, a U-shaped or V-shaped or rectangular or square or semicircular profile and are either molded on the inside and / or outside of one or more side walls of the container.
  • These recesses increase the elasticity and elasticity of the side walls of the container, which has a positive effect on the easy removal of the device from the device bed without impairing the shock-absorbing effect of the elastic side walls.
  • An advantageous form fit is achieved according to one embodiment in that at least one of the side walls of the container in the region of the open container side is shaped such that there is a more or less strong overlap with the device located in the device bed.
  • the side walls leading to the open side of the container are so high that they are slightly above the contour of the in the device bed protrude the device to be recorded.
  • An elastic plastic preferably soft or integral foam, is used as the material for the side walls of the container.
  • the wall thickness of the inherently elastic and elastically stretchable wall depends on the conditions that are specified by the device to be protected.
  • a container carrier is formed on a side wall of the container.
  • This container carrier can also be molded into the side wall.
  • the container carrier can consist of a hard plastic, preferably thermoplastic. It causes a reduction in the elastic properties, possibly up to the rigidity of the corresponding side wall.
  • An important advantage that is achieved with the container carrier is that the elastic properties of the side walls of the container can be designed differently by distributing elasticity.
  • a relatively rigid container support is formed on the back of the side wall that forms the equipment bed base, it is possible to give the other side walls a substantially greater elasticity by means of profile-like recesses in the side walls or smaller wall thicknesses of the side walls, which can be achieved, for example, by easy removal of the inserted device from the bed makes it noticeable.
  • the side walls can be made less elastic, since the bendability can additionally be exploited when inserting and removing a device. Because the elasticity the side walls exert a strong influence on the holding effect of the device in the device bed, the measures given give a multitude of options for adaptation to the respective intended use.
  • a cover which can be covered over the open side of the container can be fastened to the container by means of a positive fit on the container.
  • At least two form-fitting elements are expediently formed on the cover in such a way that they engage positively in corresponding recesses on or in the container, these recesses being provided in at least two opposite side walls in or on these side walls.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of a form-fitting attachment of the cover to the container results from an adaptation of the form-fitting elements of the cover to the shape of the recesses on or in the side walls of the container, which according to the invention are to be provided in these side walls anyway.
  • the container carrier is molded onto a side wall in such a way that two opposite sides of the container carrier can be pushed into a wall holder and are held in the wall holder by appropriate shaping or by means of stops provided.
  • This design gives the option of not only lying together with the device in it, but also hanging on the wall, e.g. in the bathroom, in the hobby room or in a workshop, which enables quick direct access and storage of the device.
  • FIG. 1 shows a case-like container 1 open towards one side, the five side walls 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of which form a device bed 7 for receiving a device. All side walls are made of a plastic that is elastic and stretchable in itself. A soft or integral foam which has these properties is preferably used.
  • the inherently elastic property of the plastic used serves to absorb and absorb shock and / or pressure loads acting on the container in order to protect a device located in the device bed, while the property of the elastic extensibility of the plastic means that it is expanded or bent or twisted allow one or more side walls of the container for the purpose of inserting or removing a device.
  • the elastic extensibility of the side walls of the container is determined on the one hand by the elasticity of the plastic material and on the other hand by the wall thickness of the side walls, which can be of different thicknesses in relation to the individual side walls.
  • the wall thickness to be selected for the individual side walls therefore depends on the particular use.
  • Thin side walls are elastically more stretchable than thick side walls. Thick side walls are in turn more elastic than thin side walls.
  • the side walls 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are of equal strength.
  • the recess 10 in the side wall 4 also fulfills a further function such that, for example, a device connected to an electrical cable, such as e.g. a razor or a measuring device can be inserted into the container 1 and stored, the cable not having to be removed from the device.
  • the profile of the recesses to be provided in the side walls can be U-shaped, V-shaped, rectangular, square or semicircular. If there are several recesses, these can also consist of a combination of such profiles.
  • the number, shape, depth and course of the recesses to be provided in one side wall or in several side walls of the container depend on which side wall or which side walls of the container should be designed to be elastically more stretchable than the remaining side walls in relation to a specific use for the purpose of expanding, bending or twisting.
  • the recesses can pass through the side wall, so that the side wall is divided into several wall webs.
  • transverse, U-shaped recesses 9 of the side walls 3 and 5, shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, facilitate lateral bending of these side walls.
  • a square profile in the side wall 2, shown in FIG 2, these recesses facilitate bending of the side wall 2, as can be seen from FIG. 5a.
  • FIG. 2 shows a section A-A through the container 1 according to FIG. 1.
  • the side walls 2, 3, 4 and 6 of the device bed 7 are shown here.
  • the side of the container opposite the side wall 2 is open for the purpose of inserting and removing a device.
  • the device bed 7 has, for example, a rectangular shape with slightly rounded corners and is therefore suitable for receiving a device of the same shape.
  • the side walls 3, 4, 5 and 6 merge in the edge zone area towards the open side into a bead-like ring 11 which is designed so that it slightly overlaps the device wall of an inserted device and thus holds it in the device bed.
  • a device entered into the container 1 can also be held in the device bed 7 by a positive fit.
  • the sectional view BB of FIG. 3 shows For example, two side walls with a rounded shape that corresponds to that of a device that is also rounded to the side.
  • the recess 8 is formed in the side wall 2 and, as can also be seen from FIG. 1, runs transversely to the side wall 2.
  • the side walls 3 and 4 interrupted by the recesses 9 have a semicircular shape on the outside.
  • Fig. 4 shows a cross section through a container 1 with a device 13 located in the device bed 7 and a longitudinally extending recess 14, in the side wall 2.
  • the container 1 is bent so far here that it is held in a form-fitting manner and by means of overlaps 16 and 17 Device 13 has already released for removal.
  • FIG. 5 and 5a show a further embodiment of a case-like container, which is also numbered 1.
  • the equipment bed 7 is formed by the side walls 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, with the difference that in the side walls 3 and 5 a longitudinal recess 9 rectangular profile is provided, the depth of which is such that part of the Side walls 3 and 5 for lateral mounting of an inserted device are retained, as can be seen from FIG. 5a.
  • the length of the recess 9 can be chosen differently. In FIG. 5, the recess 9 ends on the one hand directly at the transition zone 15 to the side wall 6 and on the other hand at a certain distance from the side wall 4.
  • the recess 9 can, however, also be brought up to the transition zones to both side walls 4 and 6 on both sides or one on both sides have a predetermined distance from the transition zones of these side walls. This always depends on the elastic stretch Availability, which should be given to the side walls in relation to the use case.
  • the top and bottom overlap 16 and 17 can be continued via the side walls 3 and 5 to the recess 9.
  • 5a shows a side view of the container 1 according to FIG. 5 with an inserted device 13 which can be removed from the device bed 7 in the state shown.
  • the side wall 2 was bent away from the inserted device, the flexible overlap 16 sliding over the adjacent device edge.
  • the transverse recesses 8 located in the side wall 2 and the longitudinal recesses 9 provided in the side walls 3 and 5 bring about a higher elasticity and thus the flexibility of these side walls compared to the side walls 4 and 6 which have no recesses.
  • a container carrier 18 is molded onto a case-like container 1, as shown and described in FIG. 1.
  • the container carrier 18 is integrally formed on the side of the side wall 2 facing away from the equipment bed 7, but it can, if necessary, be integrally formed on any other of the remaining side walls without the various functions which it has to perform and will be described in more detail below, thereby impaired.
  • the container carrier 18 gives the molded side wall a certain bending stiffness which, when using a metal plate, is almost in the rigid area and, when using a plate made of hard plastic, has limited bending and twisting capability.
  • With a relatively thin container carrier one can specifically reduce the elastic stretchability of a side wall. The same result can only be achieved approximately with the elastically stretchable material from which the side walls are made if their wall thickness is made many times thicker than shown, as a result of which the construction volume of the container is unnecessarily voluminous.
  • FIG. 7 shows a top view of the side wall 6 of the container 1 according to FIG. 6.
  • the device bed 7 is indicated by dashed lines.
  • the container carrier 18 is molded onto the container in such a way that two longitudinal grooves 23, 24 are formed between the container carrier and the integrally formed side wall 2, as a result of which the longitudinal sides of the container carrier 18 are not connected to the side wall 2 over a narrow edge zone region.
  • the grooves 23 and 24 serve to receive a wall bracket, not shown, into which the container carrier 18 with the edge zone region can be inserted, where it is held by stops provided in the wall bracket or by a corresponding shape.
  • FIG. 8 shows a cross section through a container 1 with a molded-on container carrier 18.
  • two narrow, resilient metal strips 25, 26 are attached to the container carrier.
  • the metal strip 25 protrudes into the side wall 3 and the metal strip 26 into the side wall 5.
  • the metal strips 25 and 26 act in the manner of a spring clip, which is always provided in a container when the positive locking and / or the overlap formed on one or more specific side walls and / or the elasticity of the side walls is not sufficient to fit in the equipment bed 7 hold the device in this position.
  • this clip consisting of the metal strips 25 and 26, is bent over the side walls 3 and / or 5, as shown, until the device is released.
  • FIG. 9 shows a side view of a container 1 with a container carrier 18 and a lid 21 for covering the open side of the container.
  • a plurality of positive locking elements 27 and 28 are formed on the cover 21.
  • there are three in-line form on the cover 21 closing elements 28 are provided, which can be inserted into corresponding recesses 9 in the side wall 5, as well as two form-locking elements 27, also in a row, which can be inserted into corresponding recesses 9 in the side wall 3 opposite the side wall 5, which is not visible, so that the Lid 21 is in the inserted state due to the shape of the form-fitting elements 27 and 28 adapted to the recesses 9 in a form-fitting manner on the container 1.
  • FIG. 1o shows a further embodiment of a positive connection of a container 1 with a lid 21.
  • a circumferential recess 19 in the form of a groove is made, into which form-fitting elements 27, 28 formed on a cover 21 can be inserted or clipped 1, it is quite sufficient if the form-locking elements 27, 28 are molded onto only two opposite sides of the cover 21, as shown.
