Abstract

A handgrip (2) for carrying an article, in particular a grip moulded onto a plastic box, has a plurality of lamellar, vertically extending webs (6) which project perpendicularly from a vertically extending outer wall (1) and extend between two wall supports (4, 5) which start from this outer wall and project horizontally inwards. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen aus Kunnststoff geformten Kasten mit wenigstens einem Handgriff, mit mehreren lamellenartigen, senkrecht verlaufenden Stegen, die senkrecht von einer vertikal verlaufenden Außenwand abstehen und sich zwischen zwei von dieser Außenwand ausgehenden horizontal nach innen stehenden Wandstutzen erstrecken, wobei der untere der beiden Wandstutzen eine größere, von der Außenwand weg gerichtete Erstreckung aufweist als der obere Wandstutzen.The invention relates to a plastic molded box with at least one handle, with multiple lamellar, perpendicular webs that are perpendicular from a vertical protruding outer wall and between two of this outer wall outgoing horizontally inwardly extending wall socket, the lower of the two wall sockets, a larger, facing away from the outer wall Extent has as the upper wall socket.

Aus der EU-PS 0 260 698 ist ein an einem Flaschenkasten angeformter Handgriff dieser Art bekannt, wobei die beiden Wandstutzen eine etwa gleiche Länge aufweisen. From EU-PS 0 260 698 is a handle molded onto a bottle crate known of this type, the two wall sockets being of approximately the same length exhibit.

Darüber hinaus ist ein Flaschenkasten (Bitburges) bekannt geworden, der bereits einen unteren breiteren Wandstutzen sowie einen oberen schmaleren Wandstutzen aufweist.In addition, a bottle crate (Bitburges) has become known, which already has a lower one has wider wall sockets and an upper narrower wall socket.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen derartigen Handgriff noch weiter zu verbessern und ihn griffgünstiger und stabiler zu gestalten und vorallem die Stapelbarkeit mehrerer Kästen übereinander zu verbessern.Proceeding from this, the invention is based on the object To improve the handle even further and to make it more accessible and stable and above all to improve the stackability of several boxes on top of each other.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Stege an ihren den Wandstutzen zugekehrten Enden mit diesen in eines senkrechten Ebene bündig ausgebildet sind.This object is achieved in that the webs on their the Wall sockets facing ends are flush with these in a vertical plane.

Dadurch wird zum einen eine besonders griffgünstige Form erzielt, da die Finger einen so ausgestalteten Griff besser umgreifen können und zum anderen eine erhöhte Stabilität erreicht, da der obere Wandstutzen optimal breit ausgebildet werden kann und darüber hinaus die Stege im Eingriffsbereich eines darüber gestapelten Kastens nicht über den oberen Wandstutzen hinausstehen, so daß der Boden dieses darüber zu stapelnden Kastens eine optimale Größe aufweisen kann.On the one hand, this gives a particularly handy shape, because the fingers can grip a handle designed in this way better and secondly one Increased stability achieved because the upper wall socket is optimally wide can be and also the webs in the area of engagement one above stacked box do not protrude beyond the upper wall socket, so that the Bottom of this box to be stacked over it can have an optimal size.

Als sehr günstig hat es sich auch erwiesen, wenn erfindungsgemäß die Stege im Bereich des oberen Wandstutzens nach innen eingebuchtet sind.It has also proven to be very favorable if, according to the invention, the webs in the Area of the upper wall socket are indented inwards.

Dadurch ist der Handgriff der Handform noch besser angepaßt und läßt auch das Tragen schwerer Gegenstände handgerecht zu.As a result, the handle is even better adapted to the shape of the hand and also leaves that Carry heavy objects with ease.

Sehr vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung oberhalb des oberen Wandstutzens ein parallel und im Abstand von diesem verlaufender Quersteg angeordnet ist.It is also very advantageous if, according to a further embodiment, the Invention above the upper wall socket a parallel and at a distance from this extending crossbar is arranged.

Mit einem solchen Quersteg wird die Stabilität des Handgriffs noch weiter verbessert, so daß eine Bruchgefahr weitgehend beseitigt ist. With such a crossbar, the stability of the handle is even further improved so that a risk of breakage is largely eliminated.

Bei einem Handgriff für einen Flaschenkasten ist es besonders günstig, wenn der obere Rand des Flaschenkastens im Bereich neben dem Handgriff im Querschnitt umgekehrt U-förmig ausgebildet ist, wobei neben der Außenwand ein nach unten gerichteter Wandabschnitt verläuft, der über den oberen Quersteg mit der Außenwand verbunden ist.With a handle for a bottle crate, it is particularly favorable if the cross section of the upper edge of the bottle crate in the area next to the handle reversely U-shaped, with a down next to the outer wall directed wall section that runs over the upper crossbar with the External wall is connected.

Insbesondere beim Stapeln der Flaschenkästen auf Paletten wird der obere Bereich der Kästen einer sehr hohen Belastung ausgesetzt, welche durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung aufgefangen werden kann.Especially when stacking the bottle crates on pallets, the upper area becomes the boxes are exposed to a very high load, which is caused by the embodiment of the invention can be collected.

Eine weitere erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die lamellenartigen Stege an ihrer von der Außenwand abgekehrten Oberfläche eben ausgebildet sind.Another embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the lamellar webs flat on their surface facing away from the outer wall are trained.

Dadurch wird eine beim Anfassen sehr günstige große Oberfläche des Stegabschnittes erzielt.This makes a large surface area of the Ridge section achieved.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Stege einen seitlichen Abstand von einander aufweisen, der etwa ihrer Stärke entspricht.In an advantageous development of the invention it is provided that the webs have a lateral distance from each other which corresponds approximately to their strength.

Dadurch ist sowohl eine verhältnismäßig glattflächige Oberfläche des mit den Stegen versehenen Abschnittes erzielt, der darüber hinaus aber leicht zu reinigen ist.This makes both a relatively smooth surface with the Ridges provided section, which is also easy to clean.

a vertical section through the area of a bottle crate directly next to the handle.

Mit 1 ist die Außenwand eines nicht weiter dargestellten Flaschenkastens bezeichnet, in der ein Handgriff 2 mit einer Grifföffnung 3 vorgesehen ist. Von der Außenwand 1 steht ein Wandstutzen 4 nach innen ab, der die Grifföffnung 3 umgrenzt. Parallel zum oberen Abschnitt dieses Wandstutzens 4 verläuft ein weiterer Wandstutzen 5, der ebenfalls senkrecht von der Außenwand 1 nach innen absteht. Zwischen diesen beiden Wandstutzen 4,5 erstrecken sich vertikal verlaufende, lamellenartige Stege 6, die ebenfalls senkrecht von der Außenwand 1 abstehen. Die beiden Enden dieser Stege 6 sind bündig mit den beiden Wandstutzen 4 und 5, wobei der Wandstutzen 4 eine größere von der Außenwand weg gerichtete Erstreckung aufweist, wie dies aus Fig.2 ersichtlich ist.With 1, the outer wall is not shown Bottle crate inscribed in a handle 2 with a handle opening 3 is provided. Of the Outside wall 1, a wall socket 4 projects inwards, which delimits the handle opening 3. Parallel to the upper one Section of this wall socket 4 runs another Wall socket 5, which is also perpendicular to the outer wall 1 protrudes inwards. Between these two Wall sockets 4,5 extend vertically, lamellar webs 6, which are also perpendicular from the Protrude outer wall 1. The two ends of these webs 6 are flush with the two wall sockets 4 and 5, the wall socket 4 being a larger one from the outer wall pointing away extension like this from Fig.2 can be seen.

Ebenfalls parallel zu den beiden Wandstutzen 4,5 verläuft ein Quersteg 7, der am oberen Ende der Außenwand 1 angeordnet ist und sich ebenfalls von dieser nach innen erstreckt.Also parallel to the two wall sockets 4,5 runs a crossbar 7, which at the upper end of the outer wall 1 is arranged and also from this extends inwards.

Die lamellenartigen Stege 6 sind im Bereich des oberen Wandstutzens 5 nach innen eingebuchtet, wie dies in Fig.2 verdeutlicht ist, ohne dabei aber wesentlich geschwächt zu sein. Die Stege 6 und der jeweilige Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Stegen ist etwa gleich breit, wodurch beim Anfassen der Eindruck einer weitgehend geschlossenen Oberfläche entsteht, die aber leicht zu reinigen ist.The lamellar webs 6 are in the area of upper wall socket 5 indented inside, like this is illustrated in Figure 2, but without being essential to be weakened. The webs 6 and the respective distance between two adjacent webs is about equally wide, which gives the impression of a touch largely closed surface arises but is easy to clean.

Seitlich neben dem Handgriff 2 ist der Rand 8 des Flaschenkastens umgekehrt U-förmig ausgebildet, wobei neben der Außenwand 1 ein nach unten gerichteter Wandabschnitt 9 verläuft, der über den oberen Quersteg 7 mit der Außenwand verbunden ist. Dieser umgekehrt U-förmige Rand 8 ist gegen den Handgriff durch ein Wandstück 10 abgeschlossen, das in Verlängerung des seitlichen Abschnittes des Wandstutzens 4 verläuft.To the side of the handle 2 is the edge 8 of the Bottle crate inverted U-shaped, wherein next to the outer wall 1 a downward Wall section 9 runs over the upper crossbar 7 is connected to the outer wall. The other way around U-shaped edge 8 is against the handle completed a wall piece 10, the extension of the lateral section of the wall socket 4 runs.
