Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The invention relates to a container. Furthermore, the invention relates to improvements in container components. BACKGROUND

[0002] Containers such as bags, backpacks, tubs, boxes, or baskets specifically designed to transport equipment for various outdoor activities are well known in the art. One such container is a "gear hauler." This is a robust and versatile outdoor storage and transport system that ensures all necessary items are well organized and easily accessible.

[0003] There are containers equipped with divider systems that allow for the division of the interior. Conventional systems often use dividers with Velcro fasteners to create modular compartments. In conventional arrangements, the dividers often lose their structural integrity or become loose. This leads to inadequate separation of the contents, especially with bulky or heavy items. Furthermore, conventional systems are prone to wear and tear due to repeated loading, which promotes unwanted displacement of the dividers.

[0004] A disadvantage of conventional devices is that they are either too complex and difficult to handle or lack the necessary stability and flexibility. Furthermore, they often lack options for variably dividing the interior or securely attaching accessories. SUMMARY

[0005] The object of the invention is to provide an improved container for transporting and storing objects. In particular, it is an object to provide a container that offers improved user-friendliness or enables improved storage of objects.

[0081] Embodiments and modifications are described with reference to the figures.

[0082] Fig. 1 shows a top view of an open container 100. The container 100 includes a bottom 110, a support frame 120, a side wall 102, such as a flexible folding wall 130, and at least two support assemblies 140. The container 100 also includes a lid 400, which is open in the configuration shown.

[0083] The base 110 can be dimensionally stable and can, for example, have a dimensionally stable base plate. The base 110 can be angular, for example, rectangular or square, in particular with rounded corners. The flexible folding wall 130 connects the support frame 120 to the base 110. The flexible folding wall 130 preferably consists of a thin, flexible film or sheet made of plastic material, but can also be made of or comprise a textile material.

[0084] Each support assembly 140 is transferable between a deployed state and a stowed state. In the deployed state (shown in Fig. 1) The support assembly 140 supports the support frame 120 against the floor 110 and tauts the flexible folding wall 130. The support assembly is arranged vertically. In the stowed state, the support assembly 140 does not support the support frame 120 against the floor 110, thereby allowing the flexible folding wall 130 to fold. In the stowed state, the support assemblies can be pivoted 90 degrees and positioned so that they extend horizontally or parallel to the floor 110. This enables space-saving stowage of the container 100.

[0085] Each support assembly 140 has two elongated support elements 141 arranged parallel to one another. These support elements 141 are made of a dimensionally stable material, for example, plastic, a fiber-reinforced plastic such as fiberglass, or metal. In a preferred embodiment, the support elements 141 are designed as rods.

[0086] The support arrangements 140 can be coupled on one side either firmly to the support frame 120 or firmly to the floor 110. In the Fig. 1, each support assembly 140 has an end 142 pivotally attached to the support frame 120 and a free end 143 that can be supported on the floor 110.

[0087] The base 110 has receiving sections 111 for supporting the support arrangement 140, as also in Fig. 2 in the sectional view shown on the right through the upper right corner area of ​​the base 110. These receiving sections 111 can have a support geometry 112 that blocks inward movement or slipping of a supported end section 143 of the support arrangement 140. This increases the stability and safety of the container 100 during use. The support geometry 112 can have a recess or a projection and is designed to follow the circumferential geometry of the base 110. The support geometry 112 can extend at least along the rounded corners or around the corners of the base 110.

[0088] A support arrangement 140 can be provided at each corner of the container 100 such that the support elements 141 provide support on the floor 110 on both sides of the corner or at different positions along the corner. The support elements 141 are spaced apart from one another so that, when the support arrangement 140 is in the erected state, a portion of the support geometry 112 extends between the support elements 141 or is received between them.

[0089] The support assembly 140 may include a fabric portion 144 having two spaced-apart pockets 145. A support element 141 may be received in each pocket 145. Alternatively, the support elements 141 may be sewn to or sewn into the fabric portion 144.

[0090] The support elements 141 can be coupled to one another at a location remote from the support frame 120. This can be achieved by a suitable connecting device that keeps the support elements 141 at a fixed distance from one another. Two adjacent support assemblies 140 can be connected to one another at a location remote from the support frame 120 via a connecting section 150, for example, a mesh.

[0091] As in Fig. 2, a fastening arrangement 200 may be provided on the side wall 102. The fastening arrangement 200 may provide at least two different fastening types. In one embodiment, the fastening arrangement 200 is configured as a first fastening type for a snap-in connection. A first snap-in connection partner 201 of the snap-in connection, for example, a male part of a snap fastener, may be provided as a first fastening element 202 on a second fastening element 203 of a second fastening type provided on the side wall 102.

[0092] The second fastening type can be a hooking connection, wherein the second fastening element 203 has a first hooking connection partner 204. The first hooking connection partner 204 can be a loop 205. The second fastening element 203 can be formed on a fastening section 206, wherein the fastening section 206 can have a plurality of second fastening elements 203. All fastening elements 203 can be designed as loops 205, wherein the loops 205 can be formed by regionally, for example selectively, fastening a band 207 to the side wall 102. A loop 205 is formed by an unfastened band section 208 between two adjacent fastening points 209.

[0093] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, a space divider assembly 300 can be arranged in the container for variably dividing the interior space 104 into a first storage space 301 and a second storage space 302. The space divider assembly 300 has a separating device 303 that can be inserted into the interior space 104 and locked in different positions. The separating device 303 is configured for attachment to the attachment assembly 200 in at least one of at least two attachment types.

[0094] The separating device 303 can be configured for a first fastening type. A second snap-in connection partner 321, for example, a female part of a snap fastener, can be provided as the first fastening part 322 on the separating device 303. This first fastening part 322 can be coupled to a fastening arrangement 200 on the container 100. The separating device 303 can thus be securely and releasably fastened to the container 100 by connecting the second snap-in connection partner 321 to a first snap-in connection partner 201 on the fastening arrangement 200. This configuration enables simple and quick assembly and disassembly of the separating device 303.

[0095] The separating device 303 can alternatively or additionally be configured for a second fastening type. A second hooking connection partner 324, for example a hook 308, can be provided as a second fastening part 325 on the separating device 303. This second fastening part 325 can also be coupled to the fastening arrangement 200 on the container 100. The second fastening type offers an alternative way to securely fasten the separating device 303 to the container 100 by hooking the second hooking connection partner 324 into a corresponding first hooking connection partner 204 on the fastening arrangement 200.

[0096] The separating device 303 can be designed as a pocket 304. The pocket 304 can have two sidewall sections 306 that are connected to each other via two connecting sections 307. The sidewall sections 306 can have a higher rigidity than the connecting sections 307. The sidewall sections 306 can be rigid. The connecting sections 307 can be either flexible sections or rigid sections. This configuration makes it possible to adapt the pocket 304 to different requirements, for example with regard to flexibility and stability. The sidewall sections 306 and the connecting sections 307 can each be configured for the first fastening type, the second fastening type, or both fastening types.

[0097] In one embodiment, the side wall sections 306 are configured for the second fastening type. A second hooking connection partner 324, for example, a hook 308, can be provided on each side wall section 306. For example, two second hooking connection partners 324 can be provided, wherein a second hooking connection partner 324 can be arranged at one end of opposite ends of the side wall sections 306. This arrangement enables a stable and secure fastening of the pocket 304 to the container 100 by hooking the hooks 308 into corresponding first hooking connection partners 204, in particular loops 205, on the fastening arrangement 200.

[0098] In a further embodiment, at least one second snap-in connection partner 321, for example, a female part of a snap fastener, is provided on each connecting section 307. For example, two second snap-in connection partners 321 may be provided. These snap-in connection partners 321 enable a simple and detachable attachment of the pocket 304 to the container 100 by connecting them to corresponding first snap-in connection partners 201 on the fastening arrangement 200.

[0099] The Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 show, by way of example, how a separating device 303 is inserted into the container 100. The separating device 303 can be a partition wall having hooks 308 as fastening means at opposite upper ends. This separating device 303 can be inserted into the container 100 from above, as shown in Fig. 4. The hooks 308 are hooked into loops 205 provided on the inner wall of the container.

[0100] The separating device 303 can be designed as a collapsible pocket 304. In the extended state, the pocket 304 can be attached to the side wall 102 using two fastening methods. For example, it can be hooked into the described loops 205 and simultaneously coupled to the side wall 102, 130 via the snap-in connection. In the collapsed state, in which the pocket 304 serves as a space-saving partition, it can be held using only one fastening method, for example, hooked into the loops. The pocket 304 can have side wall sections 306. The side wall sections 306 are connected to a flexible section 307. One or more snap-in connection partners can be provided on the flexible section 307.

[0101] As in Fig. As can be clearly seen in Figure 2, a locking structure 113 can be provided on the base 110.
