Description

Vorrichtung zum Entriegeln von klappbaren Seitenwänden von Kästen bzw. Behältern Device for unlocking hinged side walls of boxes or containers
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Entriegeln von klappbaren, am Boden anschamierten Seitenwänden von Kästen bzw. Behältern, von denen die beiden gegenüberliegenden Stirnwände mit den benachbarten Seitenwänden verriegelbar sind und die Entriegelung durch eine Hubbewegung eines bügelartig ausgebildeten Stellgliedes erfolgt, das federnd vorgespannt in Ausnehmungen von Versteifungsrippen an den Außenflächen der Stirnwände angeordnet und geführt ist.The invention relates to a device for unlocking hinged, angeamierten on the bottom side walls of boxes or containers, of which the two opposite end walls can be locked with the adjacent side walls and the unlocking is done by a lifting movement of a bow-shaped actuator, the resiliently biased in recesses of Stiffening ribs is arranged and guided on the outer surfaces of the end walls.
Durch das DE 91 13 549.4 U ist es bekannt geworden, in den schmalen Seitenwänden bzw. Stirnwänden eines zusammenklappbaren Behälters an den oberen seitlichen Bereichen Federriegel auszubilden. Diese bestehen aus jeweils einer Federzunge, die in das Behälterinnere vorspringen und auf diese Weise die aufgerichteten, benachbarten Längswände in ihrer hochgestellten Position halten. Durch Druck von innen können die Federzungen aus ihrer Riegelstellung nach außen gedrückt und so eine Klappbewegung der Längswände auf die Bodenwanne ermöglicht werden. Die flexible Einschnapp-Rastverbindung führt aber insbesondere bei häufiger Betätigung zu einem Bruch oder zu einer den Gebrauch ausschließenden Beschädigung des Federriegels bzw. der Einrastverbindung. Die bekannte Lösung schlägt für diesen Fall einen in die freigewordene Aussparung des Federriegels einsetzbaren Austauschfederriegel vor.By DE 91 13 549.4 U it has become known to form spring latch in the narrow side walls or end walls of a collapsible container at the upper lateral areas. These consist of a respective spring tongue, which project into the container interior and in this way hold the upright, adjacent longitudinal walls in their raised position. By pressure from the inside, the spring tongues can be pushed out of their locking position to the outside and so a folding movement of the longitudinal walls are made possible on the floor pan. However, the flexible snap-locking connection leads, especially with frequent operation to a break or exclude the use of damaging the spring bolt or the snap connection. The known solution proposes for this case an insertable into the vacant recess of the spring bar exchange spring bolt.
Um die vorbeschriebenen Nachteile zu vermeiden, ist es aus der DE 101 37 328 B4 bekannt, an den Außenwänden der Stirnwände einen von Hand betätigbaren, einteiligen Bügel vorzusehen, der an seinen freien Enden mit Rastnasen ausgebil- ^ In order to avoid the disadvantages described above, it is known from DE 101 37 328 B4 to provide on the outer walls of the end walls a manually operable, one-piece bracket, which is provided with locking lugs at its free ends. ^
det ist, die mit Rasthaken der benachbarten Längswände zusammenwirken. Bei mit den Rasthaken in Eingriff gebrachten Rastnasen werden die Behälterwände in der hochgestellten Position verriegelt. Wenn die Wände zusammengeklappt werden sollen, wird der durch Federlaschen vorgespannte Bügel durch eine Hubbewegung parallel zur Stirnwand angehoben. Damit einhergehend werden die Rastnasen gegenüber den Rasthaken nach oben hin angehoben und die Behälterwände entriegelt. Die Behälterwände können dann nach innen klappen.det, which interact with latching hooks of the adjacent longitudinal walls. When engaged with the latching hooks, the container walls are locked in the raised position. If the walls are to be folded, the lever-biased bracket is lifted by a lifting movement parallel to the end wall. Along with this, the latching lugs are lifted upwards relative to the latching hooks and the container walls are unlocked. The container walls can then fold inwards.
Allerdings liegt hier der Nachteil vor, dass sich bei beschädigter Stellmechanik, z. B. Bruch der Federlaschen, der Behälter nicht mehr verriegeln lässt.However, here is the disadvantage that with damaged adjusting mechanism, z. B. Breakage of the spring tabs, the container can no longer lock.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art mit größerer, verbesserter Funktionssicherheit zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned with greater, improved reliability.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass dem Stellglied an seinen beiden außenliegenden Enden Bewegungs-Umlenkungsmittel zugeordnet sind, die die beim Anheben des Stellgliedes vertikale Bewegung in eine die Seitenwände entriegelnde horizontale Bewegung umlenken, wobei Entriegelungsstege des Stellgliedes in die Stirnwände eingerastete, federzungenartige Riegelmittel der Seitenwände beaufschlagen und aus ihrem die Stirnwände klammernden Rastsitz drücken. Es wird somit erfindungsgemäß eine Systemtrennung ermöglicht, bei der die Verriegelung durch die in den zu den Stirnwänden benachbarten Seitenwänden vorgesehenen, auf eine Federvorspannung des bügelartigen Stellgliedes nicht angewiesenen Riegelmittel stets gewährleistet wird. Aufgrund der vorgeschalteten Bewegungsumlenkung kommt das Stellglied nur zum Entriegeln, nicht aber auch zum Verriegeln zur Wirkung.The object is achieved in that the actuator at its two outer ends associated with movement deflection means, which deflect the lifting of the actuator vertical movement in a side walls unlocking horizontal movement, wherein Entriegelungsstege of the actuator in the end walls latched, spring tongue-like locking means Press side walls and press out of their catch walls clinging to the end walls. Thus, according to the invention, a system separation is made possible in which the locking is always ensured by the locking means provided in the side walls adjacent to the end walls and not dependent on a spring bias of the bow-type actuator. Due to the upstream motion deflection, the actuator comes only to unlock, but not to lock the effect.
Es lässt sich in jedem Fall die Funktionalität des Behälters mit klappbaren Wänden sicherstellen, weil selbst bei Bruch oder Beschädigung der Einhandbügel- Entriegelungsmechanik die Verriegelung bzw. -rastung der hochgestellten Wände unverändert aufrecht erhalten bleibt. Die uneingeschränkte Funktionalität gilt aber gleichermaßen für das Entriegeln zum Zusammenklappen der Behälterwände, denn die Verriegelung lässt sich auch ohne die Einhandbügel-Entriegelungsmechanik individuell von Hand aufheben. Hierzu braucht lediglich von außen auf die Stirnwände geschlagen zu werden, so dass die Riegelmittel der Seitenwände aus dem Rastsitz herausgleiten. Diese vorteilhafte Entriegelungsmechanik ist in einfacher Weise nachrüstbar.It can be in any case the functionality of the container with hinged walls ensure, because even in case of breakage or damage of the one-hand latch unlocking the locking or -rastung the raised walls maintained unchanged. However, the unrestricted functionality applies equally to the unlocking for folding the container walls, because the lock can be picked up individually by hand without the one-hand latch unlocking mechanism. For this purpose only needs to be struck from the outside on the end walls, so that the locking means of the side walls slide out of the locking seat. This advantageous unlocking mechanism can be retrofitted in a simple manner.
Das bügelartige Stellglied weist nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung nach oben, in Hubrichtung vorkragende Bügelenden auf. Es erstreckt sich jeweils im Wesentlichen über die Länge der Außenfläche der Stirnwände und kann durch Zug von Hand gegen die Federkraft nach oben hin verschoben werden.The bow-shaped actuator has according to an embodiment of the invention upwards, in the stroke direction projecting strap ends. It extends in each case substantially over the length of the outer surface of the end walls and can be moved by train by hand against the spring force upwards.
Nach einer bevorzugten Ausfuhrung der Erfindung sind die Bügelenden jeweils mit einem in vertikaler Richtung schräg verlaufenden Betätigungssteg ausgebildet, die in komplementäre, schräg verlaufende U-Profilführungen von links- und rechtsseitig in der Stirnwand angeordneten Entriegelungselementen eingreift. Bei der Handbetätigung des Stellgliedes gleitet einhergehend mit dieser Hubbewegung der von der U-Profilführung aufgenommene Betätigungssteg nach oben bzw. verschieben sich diese Teile relativ gegeneinander, wodurch das Entriegelungselement horizontal nach außen parallel zu den die Stirnwände in einem Teilbereich schürzenartig überlappenden Längswänden bewegt wird. Über die sich gegeneinander verschiebenden Schrägflächen des Betätigungssteges und der U- Profilführung des Entriegelungselementes, wobei dieser Eingriff einer Feder-Nut- Verbindung entspricht, erfolgt die Bewegungsumlenkung von der vertikalen Stellgliedbewegung in die horizontale, auf die Seitenwand gerichtete Bewegung des Entriegelungselementes, so dass in der Folge die Verriegelung zwischen den Stirnwänden und den Längswänden aufgehoben wird. Dazu sind nach einem Vorschlag der Erfindung die Entriegelungselemente ausgehend von ihrer die Betätigungsstege aufnehmenden U-Profilführung mit einem bzw. einer sich daran horizontal anschließenden Entriegelungssteg bzw. -zunge versehen, der bzw. die jeweils in den Eckbereichen der angrenzenden Längswände ausgebildete, gegen die Stirnwände vorspringende und in diese eingerastete Federzungen beaufschlagt. Zur Entriegelung der Stirnwände werden die Federzungen beim vertikalen Anheben des Stellgliedes und der damit einsetzenden Bewegungsumlenkung der Entriegelungselemente durch die Entriegelungsstege bzw. -zungen horizontal nach außen gedrückt. Die somit entriegelten Stirnwände lassen sich anschließend über ihre mit dem Boden des Kastens bzw. Behälters verbundenen Scharniere nach innen auf die Bodenfläche umklappen und danach die Längswände darüber klappen.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the strap ends are each formed with an obliquely extending in the vertical direction actuating bar, which engages in complementary, obliquely extending U-profile guides arranged on the left and right side in the end wall unlocking elements. In the manual operation of the actuator slides along with this lifting movement of the U-profile guide recorded actuating bar up or move these parts relative to each other, whereby the unlocking element is moved horizontally outward parallel to the end walls in a partial area apron overlapping longitudinal walls. About the mutually displaceable inclined surfaces of the actuating bar and the U-profile guide of the unlocking element, wherein this engagement corresponds to a tongue and groove connection, the motion deflection of the vertical actuator movement in the horizontal, directed to the side wall movement of the unlocking takes place, so that in the As a result, the lock between the end walls and the longitudinal walls is canceled. For this purpose, according to a proposal of the invention, the unlocking elements starting from their the operating webs receiving U-profile guide with one or horizontally adjoining Entriegelungssteg or-tongue provided, or each formed in the corner regions of the adjacent longitudinal walls, against the end walls protruding and engaged in this spring tongues acted upon. To unlock the end walls, the spring tongues are pressed horizontally outwards by the Entriegelungsstege or -zungen the vertical lifting of the actuator and thus the onset of movement of the unlocking. The thus unlocked end walls can then be folded over their hinges connected to the bottom of the box or container inwards on the floor surface and then fold the longitudinal walls above.
Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der horizontale Entriegelungssteg auf seiner oberen und seiner unteren Stegfläche mit einem Federarm ausgebildet, wobei sich die Federarme in horizontaler und in vertikaler Richtung an Versteifungsrippen innerhalb der Stirnwand abstützen. Die im Übergangsbereich zwischen der U-Führung des Entriegelungselementes und dem Entriegelungssteg angeformten Federarme bewirken beim Loslassen des bügelartigen Stellgliedes aufgrund der beim vorhergehenden vertikalen Betätigen des Stellgliedes durch die Verformung der Federarme aufgebauten Rückstellkräfte eine selbsttätige Rückführung des Entriegelungselementes mit Entriegelungssteg in die Ausgangsposition vor der Entriegelung.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the horizontal Entriegelungssteg is formed on its upper and lower web surface with a spring arm, wherein the spring arms are supported in the horizontal and in the vertical direction of stiffening ribs within the end wall. The integrally formed in the transition region between the U-guide of the unlocking element and the Entriegelungssteg spring arms cause when releasing the bow-shaped actuator due to the previous vertical actuation of the actuator by the deformation of the spring arms restoring forces an automatic return of the unlocking element with Entriegelungssteg in the starting position before unlocking.
Eine alternative Ausführung der vorstehend beschriebenen, mehrteiligen Einhandbügel-Entriegelungsmechanik sieht eine einteilige Einhandbügel-Entriegelungsmechanik vor, bei der erfindungsgemäß das bügelartig ausgebildete Stellglied an seinen freien Bügelenden einstückig mit horizontal in Richtung der Federzungen der Längswände abgewinkelten Entriegelungsstegen ausgebildet ist. Die abge- winkelten Entriegelungsstege bzw. -zungen können direkt beim Herstellungspro- zess durch Spritzgießen an die freien Enden des Stellgliedes angeformt werden.An alternative embodiment of the above-described, multipart Einhandbügel unlocking mechanism provides a one-piece Einhandbügel unlocking mechanism in which according to the invention the bow-like actuator formed at its free strap ends integral with horizontally in the direction of the spring tongues of the longitudinal walls angled Entriegelungsstegen. The Angled unlocking webs or tongues can be molded onto the free ends of the actuator directly during the manufacturing process by injection molding.
Zum Entriegeln der gegen die Stirnwände vorspringenden Federzungen sind den Entriegelungsstegen oberhalb der Bügelenden Schrägflächen zugeordnet, auf denen bei einer vertikalen Hubbewegung des bügelartigen Stellgliedes die Entriegelungsstege zwangsgeführt sind und die vertikale Bewegung in eine horizontale Bewegung jeweils in Richtung der zu beaufschlagenden Federzungen bzw. Seitenwände umlenken.To unlock the protruding against the end walls spring tongues the Entriegelungsstegen above the strap ends are associated with inclined surfaces on which the Entriegelungsstege are forcibly guided in a vertical lifting movement of the bow-shaped actuator and deflect the vertical movement in a horizontal movement in each case in the direction of acting spring tongues or side walls.

Dieses sich im Wesentlichen über die Länge der Stirnwände 4, 5 zwischen den Flanschen 8 erstreckende Stellglied 13 weist vertikal nach oben vorkragende Bügelenden 15 auf, die in Ausnehmungen der horizontalen Versteifungsrippen 11 aufgenommen sowie gehalten und darin auch in Pfeilrichtung 14, also in Hubrichtung, geführt werden.In the transition region between the longitudinal walls 2, 3 and the flanges 8 projecting spring tongues 10 are formed against the end walls 4, 5, which are recessed from the flanges 8 and the longitudinal walls 2.3. When folding up or down the end walls 4, 5 they are automatically locked by the snap-back in the sequence spring tongues 10 with the longitudinal walls 2, 3 and the flanges 8. On the outer surfaces of the horizontally projecting stiffening ribs 11 and with vertically projecting stiffening ribs 12 provided end walls 4, 5 each have an actuator 13 is arranged, which is designed as a bow-shaped handle member. This substantially over the length of the end walls 4, 5 between the flanges 8 extending actuator 13 has vertically upwardly projecting bracket ends 15 which received in recesses of the horizontal stiffening ribs 11 and held therein and also in the direction of arrow 14, ie in the stroke direction out become.
An seinen beiden Bügelenden 15 ist das Stellglied 13 mit einem in vertikaler Richtung schräg verlaufenden Betätigungssteg 16 ausgebildet. Die Betätigungsstege 16 greifen ihrerseits jeweils in komplementäre, schräg verlaufende U-Profil- führungen 17 eines rechts- und linksseitig in den Stirnwänden 4, 5 angeordneten Entriegeiungseiernentes 18 ein. Die Entriegeiungseiemente 18 sind ausgehend von ihrer die Betätigungsstege 16 aufnehmenden U-Profilführungen 17 mit einem sich daran in horizontaler Richtung anschließenden Entriegelungssteg 19 versehen. Die Entriegelungsstege 19 werden in Ausnehmungen der vertikalen Versteifungsrippen 12 der Stirnwände 4, 5 in horizontaler Richtung geführt und beaufschlagen bei einem nachfolgend noch näher beschriebenen Entriegelungsvorgang die gegen die Stirnwände 4, 5 vorspringenden Federzungen 10 (vergleiche Figur 3 und 5).At its two strap ends 15, the actuator 13 is formed with a vertically extending actuating bar 16 in the vertical direction. The actuating webs 16 in turn each engage in complementary, obliquely extending U-profile guides 17 of a right and left side in the end walls 4, 5 arranged Entriegeiungseiernentes 18 a. The Entriegeiungseiemente 18 are provided starting from their the actuating webs 16 receiving U-profile guides 17 with a subsequent thereto in the horizontal direction Entriegelungssteg 19. The Entriegelungsstege 19 are guided in recesses of the vertical stiffening ribs 12 of the end walls 4, 5 in the horizontal direction and act upon in an unlocking operation described in more detail below, against the end walls 4, 5 projecting spring tongues 10 (see Figures 3 and 5).
Das längs des unteren Randes einer üblichen Grifföffnung 20 geführte und gehaltene Stellglied 13 ist federnd vorgespannt, wozu links- und rechtsseitig am Stellglied 13 aufeinander zu gerichtete Federlaschen 21 vorgesehen sind. Diese Federlaschen 21 stützen sich mit ihren freien Enden gegen eine horizontale Versteifungsrippe 11 der Stirnwände 4, 5 ab.The guided along the lower edge of a conventional handle opening 20 and held actuator 13 is resiliently biased, including the left and right sides of the actuator 13 toward each other directed spring tabs 21 are provided. These spring tabs 21 are based with their free ends against a horizontal stiffening rib 11 of the end walls 4, 5 from.
Beim Entriegelungsvorgang und damit zum Einklappen der Stirnwände 4, 5 auf den Behälterboden 6, wird das Stellglied 13 durch Greifen mit den Händen ange- hoben, wobei der von der U-Profilführung 17 aufgenommene Betätigungssteg 16 nach oben gleitet und einhergehend damit das Entriegelungselement 18 mit dem Entriegelungssteg 19 horizontal in Richtung der Federzungen 10 umlenkt, so dass in der Folge die Federzungen 10 nach außen gedrückt und die Stirnwände 4, 5 entriegelt werden. Wird das Stellglied 13 losgelassen, wird es hierdurch die Rückstellkraft der vorgespannten Federlaschen 21 nach unten gedrückt und gelangt damit selbsttätig in die Ausgangslage. Gleichzeitig erfolgt damit über oberhalb und unterhalb des Entriegelungselementes 18 angeformte, sich an vertikalen Versteifungsrippen 12 abstützenden Federarmen 22 im Zusammenspiel mit den Federlaschen 21 des Stellgliedes 13 eine automatische Rückführung der Entriegelungsstege 19, so dass die Stirnwände 4, 5 beim neuerlichen Aufklappen bzw. Hochstellen selbsttätig in die Rastverbindung mit den Federzungen 10 einschnappen.During the unlocking process and thus for folding the end walls 4, 5 onto the container bottom 6, the actuator 13 is activated by gripping it with the hands. lifted, wherein the received by the U-profile guide 17 actuating web 16 slides upwards and consequently the unlocking element 18 with the Entriegelungssteg 19 deflects horizontally in the direction of the spring tongues 10, so that in the sequence the spring tongues 10 is pressed outward and the end walls 4, 5 unlocked. If the actuator 13 is released, it is thereby pressed the restoring force of the prestressed spring tabs 21 down and thus automatically enters the starting position. At the same time, it is thus formed above and below the unlocking 18 integrally formed on vertical stiffening ribs 12 supporting spring arms 22 in conjunction with the spring tabs 21 of the actuator 13, an automatic return of the Entriegelungsstege 19, so that the end walls 4, 5 at the renewed unfolding or raising automatically snap into the latching connection with the spring tongues 10.
Gegenüber der vorstehend beschriebenen, mehrteiligen Entriegeiungsmechanik ist in der Figur 4 eine einteilige bzw. einstückige Entriegelungsmechanik dargestellt.Compared to the multipart Entriegeiungsmechanik described above, a one-piece or one-piece unlocking mechanism is shown in FIG.
Wie das Stellglied 13, ist auch hier ein Stellglied 130 mit seinen vertikal nach oben vorkragenden Bügelenden 150 in Ausnehmungen der horizontalen Versteifungsrippen 11 aufgenommen sowie gehalten und darin auch in Pfeilrichtung 14 geführt. An den Bügelenden 150 ist das Stellglied 130 mit einstückigen, horizontal in Richtung der Federzungen 10 abgewinkelten Entriegelungsstegen 190 ausgebildet. Den Entriegelungsstegen 190 sind zwischen Versteifungsrippen an der Außenseite der Stirnwände 4, 5 Schrägflächen 123 zugeordnet.Like the actuator 13, here too an actuator 130 with its vertically projecting upwardly projecting strap ends 150 is received in recesses of the horizontal stiffening ribs 11 and held therein and also guided in the direction of arrow 14. At the temple ends 150, the actuator 130 is formed with one-piece, horizontally in the direction of the spring tongues 10 angled Entriegelungsstegen 190. The Entriegelungsstegen 190 are assigned between stiffening ribs on the outside of the end walls 4, 5 inclined surfaces 123.
Weiterhin ist das Stellglied 130 ebenfalls auf seiner oberen Stegfläche links- und rechtsseitig mit Federlaschen 210 versehen.Furthermore, the actuator 130 is also provided on its upper web surface left and right sides with spring tabs 210.
Zum Entriegeln und Umklappen der Stirnwände 4, 5 wird das Stellglied 130 durch eine Hubbewegung angehoben, wobei die Federlaschen 210 gegen die horizonta- Ie Versteifungsrippe 11 gedrückt und damit vorgespannt werden, so dass sich eine Rückstellkraft aufbaut. Beim Anheben des Stellgliedes 130 werden die einstückig angeformten Entriegelungsstege 190 durch die Schrägflächen 123 in horizontaler Richtung gegen die Federzungen 10 bewegt, wodurch die Verriegelung der Stirnwände 4, 5 gegenüber den Längswänden 2, 3 aufgehoben wird.For unlocking and folding over the end walls 4, 5, the actuator 130 is raised by a lifting movement, wherein the spring tabs 210 against the horizon- Ie stiffening rib 11 is pressed and thus biased so that builds up a restoring force. When lifting the actuator 130, the integrally molded Entriegelungsstege 190 are moved by the inclined surfaces 123 in the horizontal direction against the spring tongues 10, whereby the locking of the end walls 4, 5 with respect to the longitudinal walls 2, 3 is repealed.
Sobald auf das Stellglied 130 keine Handkraft mehr ausgeübt wird, entspannen sich die Federlaschen 210 und drücken das Stellglied 130 in die Ausgangslage zurück. Ebenso entspannen sich die beim Entriegelungsvorgang vorgespannten Federzungen 10 und nehmen somit automatisch wieder ihre Verriegelungsposition ein. As soon as no manual force is exerted on the actuator 130, the spring tabs 210 relax and push the actuator 130 back to the starting position. Similarly relax the biased during unlocking spring tongues 10 and thus automatically return to their locking position.
