Definitions
- the invention relates to a folding container with four vertical side walls, which are articulated on a base plate and can each be pivoted inwards into a horizontal position, the adjacent edges of two side walls with projections and recesses being interlockingly detachably fastened to one another in the upright position.
- the object of the invention is to improve a folding container of the type mentioned in such a way that, with simple construction, low material consumption and small dimensions of the stop bar, a particularly high stability of the connection between the vertical edges of the folding container is achieved in the opened state.
- This object is achieved in that a plurality of projections and recesses lie next to each other in a vertical row on both adjacent edges, that the projections are T-shaped in cross section, that the free spaces between the T-shaped projections form the recesses, the same T- Have shape and their dimensions are only slightly larger than the T-shaped projections of the adjacent wall, which lie in the free spaces / recesses.
- a vertical stop bar projects inwards on the vertical edge of a side wall, on the inside of which the vertical outer edge of the adjacent side wall rests and that the T-shaped projections protrude horizontally on the inside of the bar.
- the form fit and thus the parts and surfaces in the form fit are / are still improved if the T-cross section of the projections with its web and adjacent crossbeam has an extension at both ends of the crossbeam in the form of an end piece angled perpendicularly from the crossbeam end, which runs parallel to the web and has a shorter, preferably half the length of the web.
- the webs of the projections can lie horizontally and the crossbars can lie vertically.
- FIG. 1 a side view of the side wall of the narrow side
- FIG. 2 a view according to II-II in FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 a side view of the side wall of the long side, partly in transparency
- Figure 4 a view according to IV-IV in Figure 3 » _ Z, _
- FIG. 5 a section according to V-V in FIG. 3,
- Figure 6 a section through the teeth in the inserted state.
- the folding container has a base plate 1 with a narrow side S and a long side L.
- a side wall is articulated on all four sides with its lower horizontal edge in such a way that it can be folded inwards onto the base plate 1.
- the side walls 2 of the narrow side are first folded down and then the side walls 3 of the long side over them.
- the side walls 3 of the long sides are then folded up in reverse order and then the side walls 2 of the narrow side.
- the side walls 2 are folded up, the vertical side edges of the side walls 2 in their vertical position come into contact with vertical stop bars 4 which protrude inwards on the vertical edges of the side walls 3.
- a vertical edge region 5 of the side wall 2 bears against the stop bar 4 of the side wall 3.
- projections 6 protrude horizontally on the stop bar, which extend into recesses 7 of the edge area 5 and conversely, the edge area 5 has projections 6 which extend into recesses 7 of the stop bar 4.
- the projections 6 and recesses 7 are of the same shape and size in the edge region 5 as in the stop bar 4.
- the projections of the stop bar 4 and the edge region 5 are profile-shaped with a T-shaped cross section and the free spaces between the T-shaped projections are again T-shaped, so that they Form recesses 7 for the projections 6.
- the T-shaped projections simultaneously form with their side surfaces the contact surfaces for the T-shaped projections of the adjacent wall, the web 9 of a T-shaped projection pointing in the opposite direction than the web 9 of a T-shaped recess.
- the crossbar 8 of the T-shape arranged perpendicular to the web 9 is straight and ends on both sides as a straight element.
- the cross bar 8 forms an extension 10 at its bar end in the form of an end piece angled from the cross bar end, which runs back parallel to the web 9. If the T-shape is seen in the normal way of viewing a letter, that the web 9 is vertical and the crossbar 8 is arranged horizontally at the top, then the extensions 10 run from the end of the crossbar 8 downwards.
- the extensions 10 have about half the length of the web 9 » the distance between the extensions 10 and the web 9 being chosen so that this distance is only slightly larger than the thickness of the extension 10, so that in this area the extension of a T-shaped projection 6 of the other wall can be positively inserted.
- the other dimensions are selected in the same way, so that a T-shaped projection lies in a form-fitting manner in a T-shaped recess in the other wall.
- a tight fit is not achieved so that the positive connection can be easily released by folding down the side wall 2.
- the webs 9 of the projections are arranged horizontally and the crossbars 8 are arranged vertically when the side walls are erected vertically.
