Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Großcontainer umfassend ein Bodenteil, und vier Seitenwände, von denen zumindest eine Seitenwand ein nicht verschiebbares Seitenteil und ein verschiebbares Seitenteil aufweist, wobei durch lineares Verschieben des verschiebbaren Seitenteils die entsprechende Seitenwand teilweise geöffnet werden kann. Derartige Großcontainer, die auch als Großladungsträger bezeichnet werden, weisen üblicherweise Abmessungen von 800x600 mm, 1200x800 mm, 1200x1000mm und 1200x1600 mm auf, wobei es sich hier um Standardabmessungen handelt. Die Höhe derartiger Großladungsträger hängt von der gewünschten Aufnahmekapazität ab. Eine übliche Höhe berechnet ab der Aufstandsfläche des Großladungsträgers auf dem Boden bis zur oberen Kante der Seitenwände beträgt 1000 mm, wobei dies jedoch nicht beschränkend ist. Damit ist eine Definition des Großcontainers gegenüber anderen kleineren Containern gegeben, wie etwa auf Paletten in mehreren Lagen über- und nebeneinander stapelbare Obst- und Gemüsebehälter bzw. Flaschenkästen u. dgl.. Die Großcontainer bzw. Großladungsträger dienen zur Aufnahme von insbesondere Stückgütern und werden so häufig auch für den Transport großvolumiger Lebensmittel sowie im non-food Bereich, Industrie und Automobilbranche verwendet. Derartige Großbehälter sind voluminös und im Vergleich zu den üblichen Obst- und Gemüsebehältern stärkemäßig dicker ausgelegt und auch insgesamt schwerer, so dass der Transport der gefüllten Großcontainer in der Regel nur mechanisch, insbesondere durch Gabelstapler u. dgl. erfolgen kann.The invention relates to a large container comprising a bottom part, and four side walls, of which at least one side wall has a non-displaceable side part and a displaceable side part, wherein the corresponding side wall can be partially opened by linear displacement of the displaceable side part. Such large containers, which are also referred to as large load carriers, usually have dimensions of 800x600 mm, 1200x800 mm, 1200x1000mm and 1200x1600 mm, which are standard dimensions. The height of such large load carriers depends on the desired absorption capacity. A usual height calculated from the footprint of the large load carrier on the ground to the upper edge of the side walls is 1000 mm, but this is not limiting. Thus, a definition of the large container over other smaller containers is given, such as on pallets in several layers over and next to each other stackable fruit and vegetable containers or crates u. The large containers or large load carriers are used to hold in particular piece goods and are so often also for the transport of large-volume food as well as in the non-food sector, industry and the automotive industry used. Such large containers are voluminous and designed thicker compared to the usual fruit and vegetable containers and also heavier overall, so that the transport of filled large containers usually only mechanically, in particular by forklift u. Like. Can be done.

Um das Transportvolumen derartiger zumeist als Mehrwegbehälter verwendeten Großcontainer für den Rücktransport zu verringern, sind die Seitenwände entweder insgesamt oder auch nur teilweise bzw. einzeln umklappbar, wobei die Seitenwände in Transportstellung fest miteinander verriegelbar sind. Derartige Verriegelungsvorrichtungen für solche Container sind bekannt. Es handelt sich um Rastnasen, die an einer Seitenwand ausgebildet sind und in Verriegelungsstellung in eine Ausnehmung der benachbarten Seitenwand oder hinter einer Rastleiste der benachbarten Seitenwand greifen und damit die Verriegelung bewerkstelligen.In order to reduce the transport volume of such mostly used as reusable containers large container for the return transport, the side walls are either total or only partially or individually folded, the side walls are firmly locked together in the transport position. Such locking devices for such containers are known. It concerns locking lugs which are formed on a side wall and engage in the locking position in a recess of the adjacent side wall or behind a locking bar of the adjacent side wall and thus accomplish the locking.

Aus der DE 698 26 757 T2 ist ein Behälter bekannt, der auf einem Boden vier umlaufend angeordnete Seitenwände aufweist, die gelenkig mit dem Boden verbunden und somit auf dem Boden für den Leergutrücktransport zur Verringerung des Transportvolumens geklappt werden können. Zur Entnahme von Transportgut bei aufrecht stehenden Seitenwänden des Behälters ist in wenigstens einer Seitenwand eine Klappe vorgesehen, die über ein Scharnier mit einem unteren Seitenwandteil gelenkig verbunden und nach außen über das untere Seitenwandteil geklappt werden kann. Um in Klappstellung zu gewährleisten, dass die aufeinander geklappten Seitenwandteile im Wesentlichen bündig mit den übrigen Seitenwandabschnitten sind, weisen sowohl die Klappe wie das darunter befindliche Seitenwandteil auf Ihrer Außenseite wellenartige Profilierungen auf, die in Klappstellung einander übergreifen, so dass in Klappstellung die herunter geschwenkte Klappe in Verbindung mit dem unteren Seitenwandteil, auf den die Klappe herunter geschwenkt ist, eine Dicke aufweisen, die nicht dicker als die der entsprechenden Seitenwand ist. Aus der DE 20 2005 009 037 U1 ist ein weiterer Großcontainer mit einer Klappe in einer Seitenwand bekannt. Bei Großcontainern ist allerdings ein Klappenmechanismus aufwendig und insbesondere deswegen nachteilhaft, weil die nach außen und dann nach unten zu verschwenkende Klappe in Anbetracht der Größe der Seitenwand umständlicher zu handhaben ist, was insbesondere in beengten Lagerverhältnissen sehr nachteilhaft sein kann, da die Klappe in Anbetracht der Größe der Seitenwand eine nicht unerhebliche Abmessung aufweist. Ein Problem besteht ferner auch darin, dass bei losem Transportgut infolge des auf die Klappe beim Öffnungsvorgang wirkenden Gewichts diese gewichtsbedingt schnell nach unten entgegen den Bemühungen des Bedienungspersonals geklappt werden kann, so dass ungewollt loses Transportgut dann nach außen fallen und gegebenenfalls beschädigt werden kann.From the DE 698 26 757 T2 a container is known which has four circumferentially arranged side walls on a floor, which are hingedly connected to the ground and thus can be folded on the floor for empties return transport to reduce the transport volume. For removal of cargo with upright side walls of the container, a flap is provided in at least one side wall, which is hingedly connected via a hinge with a lower side wall part and can be folded outwardly over the lower side wall part. In order to ensure in folding position that the collapsed side wall parts are substantially flush with the other side wall sections, both the flap and the underlying side wall part on their outside have wave-like profilings that overlap each other in the folded position, so that in the folded position, the down swung flap in conjunction with the lower side wall portion, on which the flap is pivoted down, have a thickness which is not thicker than that of the corresponding side wall. From the DE 20 2005 009 037 U1 Another large container with a flap in a side wall is known. In large containers, however, a flap mechanism is complicated and particularly disadvantageous because the outward and then down to be pivoted flap in view of the size of the side wall is cumbersome to handle, which can be very disadvantageous especially in confined storage conditions, since the flap in view of Size of Side wall has a not insignificant dimension. A further problem is that with loose cargo as a result of acting on the flap during the opening weight this weight can be worked quickly down against the efforts of the operator, so that accidentally loose cargo then fall outward and may be damaged.

Aus der WO 2004/087320 A2 ist ein Behälter mit vier umlaufenden Seitenwänden bekannt, bei dem eine Seitenwand ein gegenüber einem feststehenden Seitenteil nach oben hin verschiebbares Seitenteil aufweist, welches von außen auf die Seitenwand aufgesetzt ist und durch lineares Verschieben ein Öffnen der Seitenwand von unten nach oben ermöglicht, wobei sich die Öffnung im unteren Bereich des Behälters ausgehend vom Boden nach oben erstreckt.From the WO 2004/087320 A2 a container with four circumferential side walls is known in which a side wall has a relation to a fixed side part upwardly displaceable side part, which is placed from the outside on the side wall and by linear displacement opening of the side wall allows from bottom to top, wherein the Opening at the bottom of the container extending from the bottom upwards.

Ferner ist es bekannt ( CH 279,452 ) einen Container mit einem Bodenteil auszurüsten, der eine Bedienung durch einen Gabelstapler ermöglicht. Auch dieser Container umfasst vier umlaufend angeordnete Seitenwände und ein Bodenteil. Ein an einer Seitenwand vorgesetzter Schieber lässt sich zum Öffnen der wiederum im unteren Bereich des Behälters vorhandenen Öffnungen nach oben hin verschieben und steht in Öffnungsstellung weit nach oben über den Container vor.Furthermore, it is known ( CH 279,452 ) to equip a container with a bottom part, which allows operation by a forklift. Also, this container comprises four circumferentially arranged side walls and a bottom part. A slid on a side wall slide can be moved to open the turn in the lower region of the container existing openings upwards and is in the open position far above the container.

Schließlich ist es bekannt ( US 4,015,714 ) einen Behälter mit einem linearen Schieber an einer Seitenwand zu versehen, der ein Öffnen von unten nach oben ermöglicht, wobei der Schieber nach oben hin über den Behälter ausgefahren wird. An dieser Seitenwand mit dem Schieber ist ein Vorbau in Art eines Trichters vorgesehen, der über die Seitenwand hinaus nach außen hin vorkragt.Finally, it is known ( US 4,015,714 ) to provide a container with a linear slide on a side wall, which allows opening from bottom to top, wherein the slide is extended upwards over the container. On this side wall with the slide a stem in the manner of a funnel is provided, which projects beyond the side wall outwardly.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Großcontainer mit umlaufenden Seitenwänden, die gegebenenfalls nach innen auf den Boden des Containers klappbar sind, zu schaffen, bei dem zumindest eine Seitenwand in einfacher und sicherer Weise zur Entnahme von Transportgut geöffnet werden kann.The object of the invention is to provide a large container with peripheral side walls, which are optionally foldable inwards on the bottom of the container, in which at least one side wall can be opened in a simple and safe way for the removal of cargo.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch Anspruch 1 gelöst, wobei zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der Erfindung durch die in den Unteransprüchen enthaltenen Merkmale gekennzeichnet sind.This object is achieved by claim 1, wherein expedient developments of the invention are characterized by the features contained in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass in zumindest einer der Seitenwände des Großcontainers ein verschiebbares Seitenteil vorgesehen ist, das linear zur Seitenwand aus einer oberen Schließstellung in eine untere Offenstellung verschiebbar ist und zwar über ein unterhalb des verschiebbaren Seitenteils angeordnetes nicht verschiebbares Seitenteil. Dadurch erfolgt eine teilweise Öffnung der Seitenwand des Containers, die im Übrigen allmählich von oben nach unten aufgrund der translatorischen Verschiebung des Schiebeteils vorgenommen werden kann, so dass die Öffnung sukzessive und damit gefahrlos gegen ein Herausfallen von im Container enthaltenem Gut erfolgen kann. In Offenstellung überdeckt das verschiebbare Seitenteil das mit der Seitenwand feste untere Seitenteil. Beide Seitenteile sind hierbei dickenmäßig so ausgelegt, dass sowohl innen wie auch außen in Offenstellung der Seitenwand die übereinander geschobenen Seitenteile bündig mit der übrigen Seitenwand sind. In Folge der linearen Verschiebemöglichkeit des oberen Seitenteils ergibt sich eine einfache Handhabung, die im Übrigen ein Öffnen auch unter sehr beengtem Platzverhältnissen ermöglicht, da beim Öffnen kein Seitenwandabschnitt nach außen bewegt wird. Das verschiebbare Seitenteil wird von außen her gesehen vor das untere Seitenteil in Überlappungsstellung verfahren, so dass das Herunterfahren bzw. Herunterdrücken des verschiebbaren Seitenteils nicht durch innerhalb des Containers befindliche Ware blockiert werden kann. Zweckmäßigerweise ist das verschiebbare Seitenteil in ungeöffneter Stellung mittels zweier seitlich angeordneter Verriegelungsvorrichtungen gegenüber der Seitenwand verriegelbar. Hierfür eignen sich gängige Verriegelungsmechanismen, insbesondere eine durch ein Griffelement der Verriegelungsvorrichtung betätigbare Riegelnase, die nach innen in Richtung der Mitte des verschiebbaren Seitenteils gedrückt und damit aus einer Ausnehmung des benachbarten feststehenden Seitenwandabschnitts herausgerückt ist, so dass das verschiebbare Seitenteil dann nach unten gefahren werden kann. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es zweckmäßig, wenn das Griffteil als elastischer Bügel ausgebildet ist, so dass mit Öffnen der Verriegelungsvorrichtung eine federnde Rückstellkraft aufgebaut wird, die nach Lösen der Verriegelungsvorrichtung die Rastnase wieder in ihre Ausgangsstellung drückt. Dadurch ist eine einfache Verriegelung möglich. Alternativ kann die Riegelnase auch federnd vorgespannt sein, so dass sie entgegen einer Federwirkung aus ihrer Verriegelungsstellung gedrückt werden muss und dann nach Lösen bzw. Loslassen des Griffelements der Verriegelungsvorrichtung wieder in Schließstellung schnappt.The invention is characterized in that a displaceable side part is provided in at least one of the side walls of the large container, which is linearly displaceable to the side wall from an upper closed position to a lower open position via a non-displaceable side part arranged below the displaceable side part. This results in a partial opening of the side wall of the container, which, moreover, can be made gradually from top to bottom due to the translational displacement of the sliding part, so that the opening can be made successively and thus safely against falling out of the container contained Good. In the open position, the displaceable side part covers the lower side part fixed to the side wall. Both side parts are in terms of thickness designed so that both inside and outside in the open position of the side wall, the superimposed side parts are flush with the rest of the side wall. As a result of the linear displacement possibility of the upper side part results in a simple handling, which also allows opening even in very confined spaces, since when opening no side wall portion is moved to the outside. The displaceable side part is seen from the outside in front of the lower side part in overlapping position, so that the shutdown or depression of the sliding side part can not be blocked by goods located within the container. Conveniently, the sliding side part is in unopened Position lockable by means of two laterally arranged locking devices relative to the side wall. For this purpose, common locking mechanisms, in particular a operable by a grip element of the locking device locking lug, which is pushed inward in the direction of the center of the displaceable side part and thus moved out of a recess of the adjacent fixed side wall portion, so that the sliding side part can then be moved down , In this context, it is expedient if the handle part is designed as an elastic strap, so that when opening the locking device, a resilient restoring force is built up, which pushes the locking lug back into its starting position after releasing the locking device. As a result, a simple locking is possible. Alternatively, the locking lug may also be resiliently biased, so that it must be pressed against its spring action from its locking position and then after releasing or releasing the grip element of the locking device snaps back into the closed position.

Vorzugsweise sind im benachbarten Seitenwandabschnitt mehrere Riegelausnehmungen in vorzugsweise gleichmäßigen Abständen übereinander angeordnet, so dass das verschiebbare Seitenteil rastenartig nach unten verstellt werden kann, also ein mehr oder weniger starkes Öffnen des verschiebbaren Seitenteiles möglich ist, wobei dann die Riegelnase in eine Zwischenstellung in eine der rastartigen Ausnehmungen greifen kann, so dass auch ein Öffnen in Zwischenstellungen möglich ist.Preferably, in the adjacent side wall portion a plurality of locking recesses are arranged one above the other at preferably uniform intervals, so that the displaceable side part can be adjusted downwards in a latching manner, ie a more or less strong opening of the displaceable side part is possible, in which case the locking lug moves into an intermediate position into one of the latch-like Recesses can engage, so that an opening in intermediate positions is possible.

Zum Zwecke der linearen Verschiebbarkeit weist das verschiebbare Seitenteil beidseitig eine Längsfeder auf, die in eine entsprechende Längsnut im benachbarten Seitenwandabschnitt der Seitenwand eingreift, so dass eine translatorische beidseitige Führung gewährleistet ist. Damit ist ein kantenfreies Verschieben des verschiebbaren Seitenteiles nach unten und nach oben möglich. Selbstverständlich können auch andere Führungselemente vorgesehen sein.For the purpose of linear displaceability, the displaceable side part has on both sides a longitudinal spring, which engages in a corresponding longitudinal groove in the adjacent side wall section of the side wall, so that a translational guidance on both sides is ensured. This edge-free displacement of the sliding side panel down and up is possible. Of course, other guide elements may be provided.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Großcontainer 2 mit vier Seitenwänden 4, 8. Die Seitenwände 4, 8 sind über Scharniere an dem Bodenteil 3 so befestigt, dass die Seitenwände 4, 8 hin zu einer Mitte des Großcontainers 2 einklappbar sind. Die vollständige Einklappbarkeit wird durch unterschiedliche Höhen des Bodenteils 3 im Bereich der Scharniere erreicht. Mindestens eine, vorzugsweise zwei Seitenwände 8 umfassen ein verschiebbares Seitenteil 10, um einen Zugriff in das Containerinnere zu ermöglichen. Jedes verschiebbare Seitenteil 10 weist zumindest eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung 6, vorzugsweise zwei Verriegelungsvorrichtungen 6 auf und verschließt in seiner oberen Position gemäß Figur 2 eine aus Figur 1 ersichtliche vorzugsweise zentral angeordnete Öffnung des Containers 2. Die Öffnung ist wie sich aus Figur 1 ergibt, beidseitig durch Wandabschnitte 9 seitlich begrenzt. Bedarfsweise können die Verriegelungsvorrichtungen 6 auch an der Wandung 9 außerhalb des verschiebbaren Seitenteils 10 angeordnet sein. Fig. 1 shows a large container 2 with four side walls 4, 8. The side walls 4, 8 are hinged to the bottom part 3 so that the side walls 4, 8 are folded towards a center of the large container 2. The complete folding ability is achieved by different heights of the bottom part 3 in the hinge area. At least one, preferably two side walls 8 comprise a displaceable side part 10 in order to allow access into the container interior. Each displaceable side part 10 has at least one locking device 6, preferably two locking devices 6 and closes in its upper position according to FIG. 2 one out FIG. 1 apparent preferably centrally disposed opening of the container 2. The opening is as if made FIG. 1 results, laterally bounded on both sides by wall sections 9. If necessary, the locking devices 6 can also be arranged on the wall 9 outside of the displaceable side part 10.

Fig. 2 zeigt den Großcontainer 2 gemäß Fig. 1 mit dem verschiebbaren Seitenteil 10 in geschlossenem Zustand. Darunter befindet sich ein nicht verschiebbares Seitenteil 12 des Großcontainers 2, welches in geöffnetem Zustand des verschiebbaren Seitenteils 10 durch das verschiebbare Seitenteil 10 zumindest teilweise oder vollständig überdeckt ist. Fig. 2 shows the large container 2 according to Fig. 1 with the displaceable side part 10 in the closed state. Underneath is a non-displaceable side part 12 of the Large container 2, which is at least partially or completely covered by the displaceable side part 10 in the open state of the displaceable side part 10.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Detailansicht des Großcontainers 2 mit dem verschiebbaren Seitenteil 10 in geschlossenem Zustand. Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 6 weist vorzugsweise eine Ausnehmung 13 auf, in die eine entsprechende nasenartige Erhebung des verschiebbaren Seitenteils 10 eingreift. Die Ausnehmung 13 und die Erhebung ermöglichen ein Führen eines Griffelements der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 6 und/oder bilden einen Anschlag für das Griffelement. In einer einfachsten Form ist das Griffelement mit einer Riegelnase gekoppelt, die in geschlossenem und verriegeltem Zustand der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 6 in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung der Wandung 9 außerhalb des verschiebbaren Seitenteils 10 eingreift (oder umgekehrt), die aus der Zeichnung nicht ersichtlich ist. Derartige Verriegelungen sind bekannt, so dass darauf nicht im Detail eingegangen werden muss. Die Riegelnase ist mit 15 bezeichnet (Figuren 4 und 5). Zum Entriegeln wird dann das Griffelement in Richtung der Mitte des verschiebbaren Seitenteils 10 gedrückt, wodurch die Nase aus der Ausnehmung in der Wandung 9 gezogen wird. Hierzu ist das Griffelement zweckmäßigerweise mit einem Griffbügel 17 versehen. Beidseits des Griffbügels sind einstückig am Griffelement angeformte, leicht gewölbte Zungen 19, die an einem vertikalen Steg 20 des Schiebeteils 10 anliegen. Wird das Griffteil zur Mitte verschoben, werden die Zungen vorgespannt und drücken das Griffteil nach Lösen der Hand wieder nach außen in Verriegelungsstellung. In diesem entriegelten Zustand kann dann das verschiebbare Seitenteil 10 nach unten in seine geöffnete Stellung gedrückt werden. Besonders intuitiv kann die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 6, insbesondere dessen bügelartiges Griffelement, bedient werden, wenn die Ausnehmung 13 eine Pfeilform hat. Dabei weist die Pfeilspitze vorzugsweise in Öffnungsrichtung der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 6. Fig. 3 shows a detailed view of the large container 2 with the movable side part 10 in the closed state. The locking device 6 preferably has a recess 13 into which engages a corresponding nose-like elevation of the displaceable side part 10. The recess 13 and the survey allow a guiding of a grip element of the locking device 6 and / or form a stop for the grip element. In a simplest form, the grip element is coupled to a locking lug which engages in the closed and locked state of the locking device 6 in a corresponding recess of the wall 9 outside of the displaceable side part 10 (or vice versa), which is not apparent from the drawing. Such locks are known, so that it does not have to be discussed in detail. The locking nose is designated 15 ( FIGS. 4 and 5 ). To unlock the handle element is then pressed in the direction of the center of the displaceable side part 10, whereby the nose is pulled out of the recess in the wall 9. For this purpose, the grip element is expediently provided with a handle 17. On both sides of the handle bracket are integrally formed on the handle member, slightly curved tongues 19 which bear against a vertical web 20 of the sliding part 10. If the handle is moved to the center, the tongues are biased and push the handle after releasing the hand back outward in the locked position. In this unlocked state, the displaceable side part 10 can then be pressed down into its open position. Particularly intuitive, the locking device 6, in particular its bow-shaped handle element, are operated when the recess 13 has an arrow shape. In this case, the arrowhead preferably points in the opening direction of the locking device 6.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine Detailansicht des Großcontainers 2 mit dem verschiebbaren Seitenteil 10 in zumindest teilweise geöffnetem Zustand. Dabei ist eine Längsnut 14 in der Wandung 9 außerhalb des verschiebbaren Seitenteils 10 sichtbar. Fig. 4 shows a detailed view of the large container 2 with the movable side part 10 in at least partially open state. In this case, a longitudinal groove 14 in the wall 9 outside of the displaceable side part 10 is visible.

Wie aus Fig. 5, einem Schnitt durch die Detailansicht gemäß Fig. 4, erkennbar ist, greift in die Längsnut 14 eine Längsfeder 16 des verschiebbaren Seitenteils 10 ein. Die Längsfeder 16 ist beispielsweise schwalbenschwanzförmig ausgebildet. Die Längsnut 14 und die Längsfeder 16 ermöglichen ein verkantungsfreies Führen des verschiebbaren Seitenteils 10 in der Wandung 9 außerhalb des verschiebbaren Seitenteils 10. Selbstverständlich ist die Führungsnut in den beiden seitlichen Wandabschnitten 9 der Seitenwand 8 vorgesehen.How out Fig. 5 , a section through the detail view according to Fig. 4 , It can be seen engages in the longitudinal groove 14 a longitudinal spring 16 of the displaceable side part 10 a. The longitudinal spring 16 is formed, for example dovetail-shaped. The longitudinal groove 14 and the longitudinal spring 16 allow a tilt-free guiding of the displaceable side part 10 in the wall 9 outside of the displaceable side part 10. Of course, the guide groove in the two lateral wall portions 9 of the side wall 8 is provided.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind das verschiebbare und das nicht verschiebbare Seitenteil 10, 12 so ausgebildet und angeordnet, dass das verschiebbare Seitenteil 10 um die Dicke des unteren nicht verschiebbaren Seitenteils 12 nach außen gesetzt ist, so dass das Seitenteil 10 in Öffnungsstellung nach unten vor das feste Seitenteil 12 gefahren werden kann. In Öffnungsstellung überdecken sich somit beide Seitenteile. In Verschlussstellung ist die Außenfläche des Schiebeteils 10 bündig mit der Seitenwandaußenfläche.In the illustrated embodiment, the displaceable and the non-displaceable side part 10, 12 are formed and arranged so that the displaceable side part 10 is set by the thickness of the lower non-displaceable side part 12 to the outside, so that the side part 10 in the open position down before the solid Side part 12 can be driven. In opening position thus cover both sides. In the closed position, the outer surface of the sliding part 10 is flush with the side wall outer surface.
