Definitions
- the present invention relates to a foldable transport container. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of such a transport container for transporting and/or storing objects, piece goods or bulk goods.
- Transport containers and transport packaging are well known from the areas of transport, logistics, shipping and everyday life.
- Transport crates or boxes for postal shipping are often made of cardboard and are typically purchased in a folded or collapsed state.
- the user Before use, the user must manually transfer the transport box or carton into an unfolded or unfolded state in which the transport packaging can be loaded. After loading, the user can send the transport packaging.
- Such transport packaging often has folding mechanisms that are not designed to be reversed, i.e. it is often not possible to fold the transport packaging up without causing damage after use, nor to return it empty to the original sender.
- the reuse of such transport packaging is therefore only possible to a very limited extent, which does not correspond to the idea of sustainability. Storing transport packaging, crates or boxes in an unfolded state until reuse requires a lot of storage space, so that such an approach is generally impractical. Returning the empty transport container in a space-saving manner is only possible if it is closed even when folded.
- DE 10 2021 113 829 B3 discloses a transport container that can be moved between an unfolded first end position and a folded-in second end position.
- a lid is connected to one of the supporting end walls so that it can pivot about a pivot axis.
- the pivot axis is defined by a fold line that the lid forms with the supporting end wall and that runs between a lower edge and an upper edge of the supporting end wall.
- the two side walls are each formed by a flexible surface section that is connected to the supporting side walls on both sides.
- the lid is designed in such a way that it fixes the transport container in the folded-in second end position, in which it requires minimal storage space. Return shipping can therefore be carried out very effectively.
- the object of one embodiment of the present invention is to propose a transport container with which it is possible in a simple and cost-effective manner to remedy the above-mentioned disadvantages and in particular to provide a reusable transport container. which is less limited in terms of its dimensions than transport containers known from the prior art. Furthermore, one embodiment of the present invention is based on the object of specifying a use of such a transport container.
- One embodiment of the invention relates to a foldable transport container which is movable between an unfolded first end position and a folded-in second end position, comprising a base, at least one side wall which is connected to the base so as to be rotatable about a side wall axis, at least one end wall which is connected to the base so as to be rotatable about a end wall axis, wherein an inner end wall axis running parallel to the end wall axis is provided in the end wall, with which the end wall is divided into an upper end wall section and a bottom-side lower end wall section, and the upper end wall section and the lower end wall section are connected to one another so as to be rotatable about the inner end wall axis.
- the present transport container differs from the transport container disclosed in DE 10 2021 113 829 B3 in the following features, among others:
- the side wall can be rotated around the side wall axis independently of the front wall.
- the front wall can be rotated around the inner front wall axis, which means that it can be folded up like an accordion and thus saves space.
- the transport container is less limited in terms of its height than the transport container known from DE 10 2021 113 829 B3.
- the proposed transport container can therefore also be used to transport taller objects or objects that can be stacked in height, without having to forego the possibility of space-saving return shipping in the folded-in second end position.
- upper side wall section and “lower side wall section” refer to the bottom of the transport container.
- the lower side wall section is immediately adjacent to the bottom, while the upper side wall section is adjacent to the lower side wall section.
- the transport container has a first end wall which is connected to the floor so as to be rotatable about a first end wall axis, and a second end wall which is connected to the floor so as to be rotatable about a second end wall axis, wherein the left end wall and the right end wall are connected to one another with a sheet-like structure and the sheet-like structure has a lower flexural rigidity than the first end wall and the second end wall.
- the sheet-like structure runs essentially parallel to and outside the side wall.
- the side wall can be rotated about the side wall axis independently of the first end wall and the second end wall. This can lead to gaps forming between the side wall and the side walls, through which dirt particles and the like can penetrate into the cavity.
- air can exchange through the gaps, which can cause the temperature in the cavity to equalize with that in the surroundings. For example, for food or pharmaceuticals, both can be undesirable. Due to the use of the, in particular textile, sheet-like structure, the penetration of dirt particles and the like into the cavity can be avoided. In addition, air exchange between the surroundings and the cavity can be prevented.
- the transport container in this embodiment is also suitable for transporting more sensitive goods such as food or pharmaceuticals.
- the first end wall and the second end wall Due to the lower flexural rigidity of the sheet-like structure compared to the first end wall and the second end wall, the first end wall and the second end wall essentially retain their shape when rotating about the first end wall axis or second end wall axis, while the sheet-like structure is deformed.
- the sheet-like structure is linked to the first end wall and the second end wall and a corresponding deformation of the sheet-like structure is brought about when the transport container is to be transferred to the second end position.
- the sheet-like structure does not necessarily have to end at the left and right end walls, but can enclose the entire transport container.
- the sheet-like structure can run along the outside or inside of the left and right end walls and be connected to the left and right end walls in this way.
- only one of the two end walls can have an inner end wall axis.
- the other end wall accordingly has no inner end wall axis and is only rotatably connected to the floor by means of the respective end wall axis.
- the other end wall can be rotated relative to the floor by means of the end wall axis.
- the first end wall can have a first inner end wall axis or the second end wall can have a second inner end wall axis.
- the surface structure is connected to the floor.
- the connection of the surface structure to the floor enables an even more targeted articulation, so that the surface structure is deformed in a defined manner in the second end position.
- the surface structure prefferably be connected to the floor along a connecting line that runs parallel to the side wall axis.
- the connecting line When the transport container is transferred to the second end position, the side wall is typically rotated towards the inside of the transport container. Consequently, it is advisable for the connecting line to be offset outwards from the side wall axis in order to ensure that the side wall can rotate freely. This also provides a targeted linkage of the surface element, which in turn contributes to a defined deformation of the surface element when it is transferred to the second end position.
- the sheet-like structure can be or is connected to the side wall in a detachable manner by means of a detachable connection.
- the sheet-like structure can be sufficiently tensioned in the unfolded first end position by means of the detachable connection, whereby it can be protected from damage, for example by tearing.
- the detachable fastening can be implemented, for example, by means of a Velcro fastener.
- the transport container can comprise a lid with which the transport container can be closed.
- the transport container can be completely closed in order to prevent, among other things, the objects placed in the cavity from falling out.
- the lid can be dispensed with depending on the application. The lid therefore enables the transport of objects that are arranged in the cavity enclosed by the transport container.
- the front wall has an upper front wall edge, wherein the cover is attached to the first upper front wall edge so as to be rotatable about the front wall.
- the lid can be attached to the front wall in such a way that it cannot be lost.
- the lid can, for example, merge seamlessly into the front wall, at least in sections. This prevents the lid from coming loose, particularly during transport and during loading and unloading. unloading.
- the transport container should be reusable. If the transport container is returned without a lid, the original sender must replace the lid, which has a negative impact on sustainability and also causes unnecessary costs, which is prevented by securing the lid to at least one of the end walls.
- the end wall to which the lid is attached can also be referred to as the rear wall.
- the lid can have a lid wall and at least one edge wall running essentially perpendicular to it.
- the edge wall is preferably flush with the lid wall.
- the edge wall centers the lid relative to the rest of the transport container both in the first end position and in the second end position. In addition, it encloses the side wall and the end wall or end walls in the folded-in second end position and protects them from damage during return shipping.
- the inner end wall axis can run centrally between the lower end wall edge and the upper end wall edge.
- the upper end wall section and the lower end wall section can have the same area. This allows them to be folded together in a minimal area, so that the transport container requires little storage space in the folded-in second end position.
- a further developed embodiment can be characterized in that the transport container has at least one closure means with which the lid can be connected or is connected to the transport container in the first end position or with which the transport container can be fixed or is fixed in the second end position.
- the lid can be connected to the transport container in a particularly detachable manner using the closure means, whereby the lid can be separated from the transport container if necessary. This can be useful when loading and unloading the transport container.
- the transport container can be fixed in the second end position using the closure means. When returning, this prevents the transport container from being moved out of the second end position in an uncontrolled manner.
- the closure means for connecting the lid to the transport container comprises a first closure element and a second closure element corresponding thereto, wherein
- the first closure element is located on the lid and the second closure element is located in the area of the upper edge of the front wall.
- the first closure element and the second closure element can be designed, for example, in the manner of two side parts of a zipper.
- the first Closure element and the second closure element are designed in the manner of snap fasteners. Due to the proposed arrangement of the first closure means and the second closure means, an elongated connecting line can be provided, whereby the lid can be securely connected to the rest of the transport container in the opened first end position. The transport container can therefore be reliably closed with the lid.
- the second closure element can also extend over the surface structure, so that the transport container can be closed completely or almost completely. The objects transported in the transport container can be protected from external influences.
- the closure means for fixing the transport container in the second end position comprises a first closure element and a third closure element corresponding thereto, wherein
- the third closure element runs in the area of the front wall axis.
- the first closure element and the third closure element can, for example, be designed in the manner of two side parts of a zipper.
- the first closure element and the third closure element can be designed in the manner of snap fasteners. Due to the proposed arrangement of the first closure means and the third closure element, an elongated connecting line can be provided, whereby the transport container can be securely fixed in the folded-in second end position using the lid, which is particularly advantageous for return shipping to the original sender.
- a further developed embodiment can be characterized in that the first closure element is arranged on the edge wall.
- the arrangement of the first closure element on the edge wall enables good accessibility of the closure element, which makes opening and closing the closure means easy for the user.
- the base is rectangular and the transport container has a first side wall which is connected to the base rotatably about a first side wall axis, and a second side wall which is connected to the base rotatably about a second side wall axis, wherein a first inner end wall axis is provided in the first end wall, which runs parallel to the first end wall axis and with which o the first end wall is divided into a first upper end wall section and a bottom-side first lower end wall section, and o the first upper end wall section and the first lower end wall section are connected to one another so as to be rotatable about the first inner end wall axis, and in the second end wall a second inner end wall axis running parallel to the second end wall axis is provided, with which o the second end wall is divided into a second upper end wall section and a bottom-side second lower end wall section, and o the second upper end wall section and the second lower end wall section are connected to one another so as to be rotatable about the second inner end wall

- FIG 1A shows a first embodiment of a transport container 101 according to the invention based on a basic plan view.
- the transport container 101 has a rectangular base 12 to which a first side wall 141 and a second side wall 142 are attached.
- the first side wall 141 is attached to the base 12 so that it can rotate about a first side wall axis AST1.
- the second side wall 142 is attached to the base 12 so that it can rotate about a second side wall axis AST2.
- the first side wall axis AST1 and the second side wall axis AST2 run parallel to one another.
- first end wall 161 and a second end wall 162 are attached to the floor 12.
- first end wall 161 is attached to the floor 12 so as to be rotatable about a first end wall axis ASW1
- second end wall axis ASW2 is attached to the floor 12 so as to be rotatable about a second end wall axis ASW2.
- the first end wall axis ASW1 and the second end wall axis ASW2 run parallel to one another and perpendicular to the first side wall axis AST1 and the second side wall axis AST2.
- the first end wall 161 forms a first upper end wall edge 181 and the second end wall 162 forms a second upper end wall edge 182. Furthermore, it can be seen in particular from Figure 1F that a first inner end wall axis AIS1 is arranged within the first end wall 161 and a second inner end wall axis AIS2 is arranged within the second end wall 162, which each run parallel to one another and to the first end wall axis ASW1 and to the second end wall axis ASW2.
- the first inner end wall axis AIS1 runs centrally between the first end wall axis ASW1 and the first upper end wall edge 181.
- the second inner end wall axis AIS2 runs centrally between the second end wall axis ASW2 and the second upper end wall edge 182.
- the first inner end wall axis AIS1 divides the first end wall 161 into a first upper end wall section 201 and a bottom-side first lower end wall section 221.
- the second inner end wall axis AIS2 divides the second end wall 162 into a second upper end wall section 202 and a bottom-side second lower end wall section 222 (see Figure 1G).
- the first end wall 161 forms a first left end wall edge 24 and a first right end wall edge
- the second end wall 162 forms a second left end wall edge 26 and a second right end wall edge 28 (see Figure 1A).
- the first left end wall edge 24, the first right end wall edge 25, the second left end wall edge 26 and the second right end wall edge 28 run parallel to each other and perpendicular to the floor 12.
- a first sheet-like structure 301 is attached to the first left end wall edge 24 and to the second right end wall edge 28.
- a second sheet-like structure 302 is attached to the second left end wall edge 26 and to the first right end wall edge 25.

- the inward movement of the first inner end wall axis ASI1 and the second inner end wall axis ASI2 is transferred to the first sheet 301 and the second sheet 302, which deform accordingly and are also moved towards the floor 12.
- the end walls 161, 162 are pressed towards the floor 12 until the first upper end wall section 201 rests on the first lower end wall section 221 and the second upper end wall section 202 rests on the second lower end wall section 222 and they come into contact with the floor 12.
- the transport container 101 has now reached the second end position.
- the volume occupied by the transport container 101 in the second end position is significantly smaller than in the first end position, which is why the transport container 101 can be returned to the original sender in a space-saving manner.
- Figures 2A to 2E show a second embodiment of the transport container 102 according to the invention in various positions.
- the basic structure of the transport container 102 according to the second embodiment largely corresponds to the structure of the transport container 101 according to the first embodiment, which is why only the essential differences are discussed below.
- the transport container 102 is equipped with a lid 34.
- the lid 34 has a lid wall 36 and an edge wall 38 running perpendicular thereto.
- the lid 34 is connected to the first end wall 161 so as to be rotatable about the upper first end wall edge 181 (cf. Figure 1 E).
- the lid 34 is provided with a closure means 40, which in the second embodiment is designed in the manner of a zipper and comprises a first closure element 42, a second closure element 44 and a third closure element 46.
- the first closure element 42 is arranged in the edge wall 38, while the second closure element 44 runs along the second upper end wall edge 182 (see Figure 1 E) and along the upper end of the first sheet-like structure 301 and the second sheet-like structure 302.
- the first closure element 42 can be connected to the second closure element 44 and closed when the transport container 102 is in the first end position.
- the third closure element 46 runs along the second end wall axis ASW2 (see Figure 1 E) and along the lower end of the first sheet 301 and the second sheet 302, approximately where the first sheet 301 and the second sheet 302 merge into the base 12.
- Figures 2A to 2F show how the transport container 102 according to the second embodiment can be transferred from the opened first end position to the folded second end position.
- the basic procedure corresponds to that described for the transport container 101 according to the first embodiment.
- the transport container 102 according to the second embodiment has the lid 34, further steps are added.
- the transport container 102 is shown in Figure 2A in the unfolded first end position. In this first end position, a transport item not shown here can be transported.
- the closure means 40 is closed so that the lid is connected to the rest of the transport container 102. If the transport container 102 is now to be transferred to the folded-in second end position, the closure means 40 is opened so that the lid 34 can be unfolded.
- the transport container 102 is now open and its cavity is accessible. If the transport container 102 is unloaded so that there is no longer any transport item in it, first the first side wall 141 ( Figure 2B) and then the second side wall 142 are rotated by 90° about the first side wall axis ASW1 or the second side wall axis ASW2 towards the base 12 so that they run essentially parallel to the base 12 (see Figures 1C and 1F). The end walls 161, 162 are then pressed towards the base 12, the first inner end wall axis AIS1 and the second inner end wall axis AIS2 being designed such that they are moved inwards, as can be seen in Figures 2D and 2E.
- the lid 34 is then closed again ( Figure 2E) and then the closure means 40 is closed, for which purpose the first closure element 42 and the third closure element 46 are brought into engagement with one another, which takes place in the same way as described for the first closure element 42 and the second closure element 44.
- Figures 3A and 3B show a third embodiment of the transport container 103 according to the invention, wherein Figure 3A shows the transport container 103 in a perspective view in the opened first end position with the lid 34 closed, while Figure 3B shows a plan view of the transport container 103 also in the first end position, but with the lid 34 opened.
- the basic structure of the transport container 103 according to the third embodiment largely corresponds to the structure of the transport container 102 according to the second embodiment, which is why only the essential differences are discussed below.
- the transport container 103 has a continuous sheet-like structure 303 which extends from the first left end wall edge 24 relative to the first end position parallel to the second side wall 142 to the second end wall 162.
- the sheet-like structure 303 then runs parallel to the second end wall 162 and then relative to the first end position parallel to the first side wall 141 to the right-left end wall edge 25. From there, the sheet-like structure 303 extends parallel to the first end wall 161 again to the first left end wall edge 24. Due to the representation chosen in Figure 3B, the part of the sheet-like structure 303 which runs along the first end wall 161 is covered by the lid 34.
- the sheet-like structure 303 can, as previously described, be detachably attached to the first side wall 141 and the second side wall 142, for example by means of a Velcro fastener.
- the sheet-like structure 303 can be sewn to the first end wall 161 and the second end wall 162 and thus rest on them.
- an articulation of the sheet-like structure 303 to the first end wall 161 and the second end wall 162 and a corresponding deformation of the sheet-like structure 303 is brought about when the transport container 103 is transferred to the second end position.
- the sheet-like structure 303 can be sewn to the first end wall 161. Consequently, a seam could run along the first left end wall edge 24 and another seam along the first right end wall edge 25 (not shown). The same applies to the connection of the surface structure 303 to the second end wall 162.
- the use of the continuous, continuous sheet structure 303 reduces the risk of tearing at the first left end wall edge 24, at the first right end wall edge 25, the second left end wall edge 26 and at the second right end wall edge 28.
- the lid 34 is formed in two parts and/or in which the lid 34 is connected to the rest of the transport container 101, 102 exclusively by the closure means 40.
- the lid 34 can be completely separated from the transport container 101, 102.
- the closure means can also provide the rotatable connection around the first end wall edge 181 and/or the second end wall edge 182.
- Figures 4A to 4C show a fourth embodiment of a transport container 104 according to the invention.
- the transport container 104 differs from the transport container 101 shown in Figures 1A to 1G according to the first embodiment in the following features.
- the transport container 104 has, analogously to the transport container 101 according to the first embodiment, two end walls 161, 162, which are connected to the base 12 by means of end wall axes ASW1, ASW2. However, in the transport container 104 only the first end wall 161 has a first inner end wall axis ASI1. The second end wall 162, however, has no inner end wall axis.
- the transport container 104 is in a folded-out first end position in Figure 4A.
- the first end wall 161 is folded up in a similar way to the first end wall 161 of the transport container 101.
- the first end wall 161 is rotated about the first inner end wall axis AS1.
- the second end wall 162 is rotated in the direction of the first end wall 161 and presses on the first end wall. This is shown in Figure 4b.
- the second end wall 162 lies on the first end wall 161.
