Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stackable transport container with guide means on its lower and / or upper edge.
  • Transport containers are understood to mean both plastic boxes for the transport of food, such as meat, vegetables and the like, and bottles, as well as boxes made of other material, for example cardboard containers.
  • FIGS. 1A and 1B A problem that arises can be seen from FIGS. 1A and 1B. If one tries to stack different containers 2, 4 with differently dimensioned, downwardly projecting bottoms 6, 8 and differently strong side walls 7, 9, there are two problems. If the container 2 is placed on the container 4, there is a risk that the container 2 will fall into the container 4 (FIG. 1B) if the container 2 is moved laterally against the container 4. If the container 4 is placed on the container 2, there is the risk that the container 4 slips laterally relative to the container 2 because the bottom 8 does not fit into the upper edge of the container 2, so that the stack is not stable (Fig. 1A).
  • the container 10 has at its upper edge on its side walls 11 inwardly projecting lugs 12 with which the different wall thicknesses of the side walls 11 of the container 10 and side walls 7 of the container 2 are to be compensated.
  • the bottom 14 of the container 10 is adapted to the bottom 6 of the container 2.
  • the invention has for its object to design transport containers, in particular plastic boxes or cardboard containers, with different thicknesses of the side wall construction and / or different thicknesses at the upper edge of the container and / or different base shapes so that they can be stacked in a compatible manner.
  • the transport container according to the invention is designed so that the guide means have guide projections on the lower outer edge of the transport container and / or guide recesses on the upper outer edge of the transport container, the guide projections of a stacked transport container or its protruding bottom into the guide recesses or respectively when stacking transport containers engage the upper edge of the transport container underneath.
  • the transport container has at least guide recesses on the upper edge, so that on such a container, the bottom of which provides a side guide in an underlying container, a container with a non-matching bottom but with guide projections is stackable. In terms of stackability, however, a container that is provided with guide recesses as well as with guide projections is advantageous.
  • the design of the bottom and / or the upper edge is not limited to plastic boxes, but also for transport containers made of a different material, e.g. made of cardboard, is applicable. It is unproblematic to implement the features according to the invention with minimal manufacturing technology in the case of transport containers made of cardboard. Even with plastic boxes, the features according to the invention can be realized by slight additions to the injection molds for the boxes, so that the invention can be implemented at a very low cost by a wide variety of box manufacturers.
  • the pallet is particularly advantageous in the case of transport containers according to the invention with guide projections on the bottom which protrude beyond the lower surface of the bottom.
  • transport containers with conventional floors which have a bottom projecting downwards, which fits into the dimensions of the upper edge of the same container in order to stack them, there is no less risk of slipping than with previous pallets.
  • the box 20 has on its upper edge 21 a guide recess 24 with an outwardly beveled guide surface 26 and a bottom surface 28. At the lower edge 29, the box 20 has a guide projection 30 with an outwardly beveled guide surface 32 and a back 34.
  • the box 22 has at its upper edge 23 a guide recess 36 with an obliquely outwardly inclined guide surface 38 and a bottom 40. At its bottom 41, the box 22 has a guide projection 42 which corresponds to the guide projection 30 of the box 20. As can be seen from Fig.
  • the guide recesses 24, 36 respectively match with the guide projections 30, 42 when the boxes are stacked one above the other, since the guide surfaces lie on a vertical line. Since the guide means are close to the outer edge of the upper and lower edges of the box, it obviously does not matter how wide the wall construction or the upper edge of the box is, as long as the interaction of the guide projections with the guide recesses provides sufficient lateral guidance of the boxes against one another Movement according to the arrow P in Fig. 4 guaranteed.
  • the other side walls of the plastic boxes 20, 22 also have guide recesses 42, 44 on the inside of the upper edges 21, 23 and guide projections 46 and 48 on the lower edges 29, 41 of the boxes 20 and 22, respectively.
  • Two guide recesses or guide projections on opposite sides of the upper or lower edge of the Transport containers are arranged mirror-symmetrically to each other.
  • protruding bottoms 50, 52 are shown on the boxes 20 and 22, which in principle are not required in the transport containers according to the invention, since the lateral guidance is ensured by the guide projections and guide recesses.
  • Fig. 3 shows that the floor design in the conventional plastic boxes does not have to be changed to implement the invention. In other words, the bottom design of conventional boxes need not be changed as long as the protruding bottom of a box fits into the top of the box on which it is to be stacked.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a transport container according to the invention using a plastic box.
  • the plastic box 60 has on the inside of its short sides of its upper edge 62 guide recesses 64, 66 and on the inside of its long sides of its upper edge 62 guide recesses 68, 70.
  • Two guide recesses or guide projections on opposite sides of the upper and lower edge of the transport container are arranged mirror-symmetrically to one another. Between the two guide recesses 68, 70 webs 72, 74 are arranged.
  • the webs 72 have the purpose that so-called half boxes can also be stacked on the side of the box 60, the half boxes comprising half the base area of the box 60 and each having guide projections on their bottoms, which lead to the guide recesses, for example 64, 66 , 68, 70, fit. If a box in the area of the webs 74 should have a cutout (part of the side wall is pulled down or cut out), this is irrelevant because the lateral guidance is essentially ensured by the end regions of the guide recesses 64, 66, which are close to the corners of the box.
  • the box 60 has guide projections 80, 82 (in the area of the short sides) and 84, 86 (in the area of the long sides).
  • the guide projections 80, 82 and 84, 86 respectively fit into the guide recesses 64, 66 and 68, 70 when two boxes are stacked on top of one another. This ensures adequate lateral guidance of the boxes when stacking.
  • FIG. 6 shows a pallet 90 on which two x four boxes according to FIG. 5 can be placed particularly advantageously.
  • the guide projections 80, 82, 84, 86 engage in recesses 92, which each surround a rectangular field 94.
  • the upper side edge 96 of the pallet is at the same height as the top of the fields 94, and the recesses 92 are separated from one another by webs 98, the surface of which is also at the level of the surface of the fields 94.
