Camping container or the like.

The most important task of a ^ mping container is to Excursions "etc. in an easily accessible way plates, cutlery, To "keep food, drinks etc ...". A camping container therefore generally serves only as a storage box and thus cannot serve any other purpose. yIf it is not used however, it takes up considerable storage space.

The present innovation relates to a practical and expedient solution to the problem in question by means of a removable camping container, the components of which can also be used for other purposes. The innovation according Ccnpingbehälter is characterized in that two of its opposite-side side walls are designed as plates or trays with an all around extending flange portion for cooperation with Nuter .., sinkings od.d _b 'l. is arranged in the Eandteile of the remaining sides, with the remaining sides consisting of two U-shaped wall

share with those butting against each other in the collapsed state Thighs are constructed.

The innovation should now be based on an exemplary embodiment are explained in more detail according to the accompanying drawing, wherein

F15. 1 a camping container in accordance with the innovation in together, in perspective seen, represents,

Fig. 2 is a drawing of the constituent parts of the container, _{

3, likewise in perspective, a combination of certain components, for example BiI- _; showing a table, and j

4 finally one of the components of the loading; holder in collapsed! Condition showed '

The camping container shown consists of two side walls 1, 2 in the form of serving trays, each with a flange-type; on edge part 3, 4. The other long sides of the container are ^! formed by ζ .ei disks 5, 6, each of which is connected to further · disks 7, 8 or ■ · .. 'i, 10, which together form the short j sides of the container. The last-mentioned disks 7 to 10 are connected to the associated disks 5, 6 by hinges. The disc 7 is with the disc 5 by means of a hinge 11 and the disc 8 with the disc 5 by means of a

, Hinge 12 connected. The disks 9, 10 are also similar connected to the disk 6 by hinges 13,14. All discs 5 to 10 have reinforcement strips on their side edges provided, which are all designated with 15 for the sake of simplicity. The | Reinforcing strips are facing towards the trays 1, 2 on their

ι Areas with grooves, all of which are designated by 16, provided. These Grooves are to cooperate with the flange parts 3, 4 of the

741231114.1.74

Trays 1, 2 determined. The whole arrangement is supported by a shoulder strap 17 held together, which is guided in recesses 18 in the middle parts of all hinges Π to 14.

Fig. 2 clearly shows the components of the carping container according to FIG. 1. When opening the camping container for the purpose of access to the things stored in it, one proceeds in the following way: The strap 17 is loosened and removed from the container removed. It should be noted that the container will not fall apart now because the strap has been removed, because the hinges 11 to 14 are of such a type that they do not Allow swinging over 90 ° from the collapsed state. You therefore take the maximally open position, e.g. according to Figs. 1 and 2, a. In that, after removing the shoulder strap, the upper part consisting of the disks 5, 7, 8 is pulled upwards the reinforcement strips 15 of the disks 7, 8 slide with their grooves 16 along the flange parts 3, 4 of the trays. Once the upper part is out of engagement with the trays 1, 2 pulled out, the camping container is open and the items stored in it are easily accessible.

After all things have been removed from the camping container, you can proceed as follows:

The engagement of the trays 1, 2 with the discs 6, 9 and 10 can be released so that the trays are completely free. Nacl which they have been cleared in this way, the trays 1, 2 can of course also be used as serving boards; you can do it A camping table can also be set up in a simple manner, for example by placing the tray 1 on top of that part of the container that is formed by the sides 6, 9 and 10, i.e. that the tray rests on the upper edge of the discs 9 and 10.

For the purpose of better stability, however, the reinforcing strips 19 arranged on the marginal edges of the panes 9 and 10 are also included

-4-

grooves 20 resembling the grooves 16, the flange 3 trays to cooperate with by being bent sideways the grooves 20 is brought, whereby a stable construction according to Fig. 5 comes about.

The camping container described can be kept in a very limited space by being completely disassembled wherein the panes 1, 2 stowed together and the hinged pane units put together in the manner of FIG. 4 can be. The whole arrangement thus takes up very little space when folded.

A number of variations are of course conceivable within the framework the general idea of the invention; For example, it is not necessary for the sides 1, 2 to be formed by trays which have a countersunk middle part, but they can also be formed by completely flat discs. The attachment of a Carrying strap is not an absolute necessity for the function of the camping container, but it significantly facilitates its use. It is also not necessary that the trays 1, 2 cooperate with grooves in the edges of the disks 5 to 10, but rather it Appropriate subsidence or approaches to the same goal can also be used.
