Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a roll container, in particular a roll pallet, comprising a container base and two side walls. The side walls are arranged longitudinally on opposite sides of the container base and each comprises a first longitudinal beam arranged in a first side wall opening of the container base and a second longitudinal beam arranged in a second side wall opening of the container base.

[0002] Roll containers are known in various designs from the prior art. Known roll containers typically comprise a base to which two side walls are detachably attached on opposite longitudinal sides. For storage and transport, empty roll containers are regularly disassembled, i.e., the side walls are removed from the base. The removed side walls are then stored side by side on the base of an assembled roll container. Since the side walls are merely placed on the base, they can, for example, fall off the roll container during transport. Furthermore, placing the side walls on the roll container can damage it. In particular, the removed side walls are usually leaned against a side wall of the assembled, stored roll container for storage.This causes bending stress in the insertion areas of the container bottom where the side wall is supported. This bending stress can result in tearing out and / or breaking of corner areas of the container bottom.

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a roll container on which further roll containers, in particular side walls of further roll containers, can be safely stored and transported in a simple manner without damaging the roll container.

[0004] This problem is solved according to the invention by the roll container with the features of claim 1.

[0005] According to the invention, a roll container, in particular a roll pallet, is proposed, comprising a container base and two side walls. The side walls are arranged on longitudinally opposite sides of the container base and each comprises a first longitudinal beam and a second longitudinal beam. The first longitudinal beams are each arranged in a first side wall opening of the container base. The second longitudinal beams are each arranged in a second side wall opening of the container base. The first side wall openings are aligned longitudinally with each other. Likewise, the second side wall openings are aligned longitudinally with each other. The first side wall openings are formed transversely in the container base on a side opposite the second side wall openings.The container base comprises at least one side wall bearing opening into which a longitudinal member of the second side wall can be inserted for the purpose of supporting another side wall against the container base. The container base has at least one first locking element recess and at least one second locking element recess for receiving a locking element of the second side wall. The first locking element recess is partially or completely aligned transversely with the second locking element recess. Additionally or alternatively, at least one bearing strip is detachably fixed to the container base and / or to the two side walls, in particular to longitudinally opposing longitudinal members of the side walls. This bearing strip has at least one bearing strip side wall bearing opening into which a longitudinal member of the second side wall can be inserted for the purpose of supporting another side wall against the container base.

[0006] The core idea of ​​the invention is therefore to provide the container base with a side wall bearing opening and at least two locking element recesses that are at least partially aligned with each other in the transverse direction, and / or to detachably fix a bearing strip to the container base and / or to the two side walls, which includes a bearing strip side wall bearing opening. A further side wall can thus be easily and securely stored on the container base.

[0007] The side wall bearing opening and / or the bearing strip side wall bearing opening can correspond to the side wall openings, especially in their geometry.

[0008] In an exemplary embodiment of the roll container according to the invention, the container base comprises at least one pair of side wall bearing openings. The pair of side wall bearing openings is formed from two side wall bearing openings into which longitudinal beams of the further side wall can be inserted for the purpose of supporting a further side wall on the container base.

[0009] For example, the first of the side wall bearing openings of the side wall bearing opening pair aligns with the first side wall openings in the longitudinal direction. The second side wall bearing opening of the side wall bearing opening pair aligns with the second side wall openings in the longitudinal direction. The first side wall bearing opening, in turn, aligns with the second side wall bearing opening in the transverse direction.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the roll container according to the invention comprises at least two, three, four or a plurality of side wall bearing opening pairs.

[0011] The side wall bearing opening pairs are arranged, for example, side by side in the longitudinal direction, in particular at an equal distance to adjacent side wall bearing opening pairs.

[0012] In an exemplary embodiment of the roll container according to the invention, the side wall bearing opening is arranged longitudinally between the first side wall openings and between the second side wall openings. The side wall bearing opening is offset inwards in the transverse direction relative to the first side wall openings, i.e., towards a longitudinal median plane of the container base or towards the second side wall openings, or inwards relative to the second side wall openings, i.e., towards the longitudinal median plane of the container base or towards the first side wall openings, such that when a first longitudinal beam of the second side wall is arranged in the side wall bearing opening, the second longitudinal beam of the second side wall projects transversely on a side of the container base facing away from the side wall bearing opening.If the side wall bearing opening is offset inwards relative to the first side wall openings, the second longitudinal beam protrudes laterally at the end of the container bottom that features the second side wall openings. Conversely, if the side wall bearing opening is offset inwards relative to the second side wall openings, the second longitudinal beam protrudes laterally in the transverse direction at the end of the container bottom that encompasses the first side wall openings.

[0013] In an exemplary embodiment, the roll container according to the invention comprises two, three, four or a plurality of side wall bearing openings, into which a longitudinal beam of a further side wall can be inserted for the purpose of storing further side walls on the container base.

[0014] The side wall bearing openings can be spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction. The side wall bearing openings do not necessarily align with each other in the transverse direction.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the roll container according to the invention, at least one first side wall bearing opening is provided on the container base, which is offset inwards relative to the first side wall openings. Furthermore, at least one second side wall bearing opening is provided on the container base, which is offset inwards relative to the second side wall openings.

[0016] The at least one second side wall bearing opening is offset longitudinally, for example, from the at least one first side wall bearing opening, so that they are not aligned transversely. For example, first and second side wall bearing openings are provided alternately along the length of the container bottom.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the roll container according to the invention, the first locking element recess and / or the second locking element recess are funnel-shaped.

[0018] The first locking element recess and / or the second locking element recess may have a geometry corresponding to a quick-release pin of the locking element of the further side wall.

[0019] In an exemplary embodiment of the roll container according to the invention, a center point of the first locking element recess, preferably the first locking element recess in its entirety, and / or a center point of the second locking element recess, preferably the second locking element recess in its entirety, are spaced apart from a longitudinal center axis of the container base.

[0020] For example, the container bottom includes at least two, three, four or a multitude of first locking element recesses and second locking element recesses for receiving locking elements of further side walls to be stored.

[0021] For example, the second locking element recess is offset longitudinally from the first locking element recess. In particular, the locking element recesses are offset from each other in such a way that they are partially, but not completely, aligned. This allows the locking element of the other side wall to be positioned in different ways, especially pivot positions on a cross member of the other side wall.

[0022] For example, the first locking element recess, in particular a center point of the first locking element recess, is aligned in the transverse direction with the side wall bearing opening, in particular a center point of the side wall bearing opening, or one of the side wall bearing openings.

[0023] The second locking element recess or a center point of the second locking element recess can be spaced longitudinally from the side wall bearing opening, in particular a center point of the side wall bearing opening, or one of the relevant side wall bearing openings, i.e., not aligned with it in the transverse direction.

[0024] The locking elements of the additional side walls to be supported are, for example, mounted on the cross member of the additional side walls so that they can be moved laterally by a defined displacement. Depending on the position of the locking element relative to the cross member, the locking element can thus be arranged in a first locking element recess or a second locking element recess.

[0025] For example, the distance between the center point of the first locking element recesses and the center point of an adjacent second locking element recess is less than or equal to the defined displacement path by which the locking element can be displaced on the cross member.

[0026] The locking element recess(s) can be aligned with the side wall bearing opening or a part thereof, or with the side wall bearing opening pair or a part thereof, in the transverse direction.

[0027] For example, the distance between the locking element recess and the side wall bearing opening in the transverse direction is at least as large as a minimum distance between the locking element and the longitudinal beam of the other side wall that can be arranged in the side wall bearing opening, and at most as large as a maximum distance between the locking element and the longitudinal beam of the other side wall that can be arranged in the side wall bearing opening.

[0028] In an exemplary embodiment of the roll container according to the invention, the container base has a number of locking element recesses corresponding to the number of side wall bearing openings or the number of side wall bearing opening pairs.

[0029] If the locking element recesses are first locking element recesses and second locking element recesses, the number of first locking elements and the number of second locking element recesses correspond, for example, to the number of side wall bearing openings or the number of side wall bearing opening pairs.

[0030] An offset of adjacent locking elements in the longitudinal direction corresponds, for example, to the sum of the offset of the first side wall bearing opening relative to the first side wall bearing openings in the transverse direction and the offset of the second side wall of the bearing opening relative to the side wall bearing openings in the transverse direction towards the first side wall opening. Thus, if the side wall bearing openings are alternately formed on transversely opposite sides, locking elements can be easily inserted into the locking element recesses.

[0031] For example, an offset of the locking elements is less than or equal to a range of motion by which the locking elements are mounted on a cross member of the side walls so as to be displaceable in the transverse direction.

[0032] The centers of the locking element recesses are offset from each other in the longitudinal direction, for example, by a maximum of the defined range of motion of the crossbeams.

[0033] The locking element recess(s) can have a geometry corresponding to a locking element of the further side wall in such a way that the locking element can be brought into a defined storage position by being inserted into the respective locking element recess.

[0034] For example, the locking element is aligned in the defined storage position such that the locking element has a minimal possible longitudinal extent.

[0035] The locking element for attaching the additional side wall to a container bottom is, for example, a drop bar with a quick-release pin.

[0036] The locking element recess(s) may have a geometry corresponding to the quick-release pin of the locking element or a transverse element of the locking element of the further side wall.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment of the roll container according to the invention, the bearing strip comprises at least one bearing projection. The bearing projection can be arranged in a bearing strip opening of the container base for positive locking of the bearing strip to the container base.

[0038] For example, the at least one bearing strip comprises two, three or four bearing projections, each of which is arranged in a bearing strip opening of the container bottom for the positive locking of the bearing strip to the container bottom.

[0039] The bearing projections are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the bearing strip, for example.

[0040] The at least one bearing strip can extend in a transverse direction, in particular between the two side walls.

[0041] The at least one bearing strip rests, if it is fixed to the bottom of the container and / or the side walls, for example, in particular flat, on the bottom of the container.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the roll container according to the invention, the at least one bearing strip comprises at its end a gripping element for fixing it to a relevant part of the side walls.

[0043] The gripping elements can correspond to the geometry of the longitudinal beams of the side walls in such a way that the bearing strip is fixed to the side walls, in particular in a form-fitting manner, when the gripping elements grip longitudinally opposing longitudinal beams of the side walls.

[0044] The gripping elements are designed, for example, in the form of U-shaped projections.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the roll container according to the invention, the bearing strip is fixed to the container base in such a way that the at least one bearing strip side wall bearing opening is aligned in the longitudinal direction with the first side wall openings or the second side wall openings.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the roll container according to the invention comprises two bearing strips.

[0047] The two bearing strips can be fixed to the bottom of the container in such a way that the at least one bearing strip wall bearing opening of a first bearing strip is aligned longitudinally with the first side wall openings and the at least one bearing strip side wall bearing opening of the second bearing strip is aligned longitudinally with the second side wall openings.

[0048] For example, the bearing strips each include at least two, three, four or a multitude of bearing strip side wall bearing openings.

[0049] The bearing strips are fixed to the bottom of the container in such a way that the bearing strip wall bearing openings of a first bearing strip are aligned in the transverse direction with a corresponding bearing strip side wall bearing opening of the second bearing strip.

[0050] The vertical extension or height of the bearing strips is, for example, at least as great as the vertical extension of a section of the longitudinal beams, particularly the outer longitudinal beams, below a lower crossbeam. The longitudinal beams of the other side wall can thus be inserted into the bearing strip wall openings in such a way that the lower crossbeam rests on the bearing strips.

[0051] The vertical direction extends orthogonally to the longitudinal and transverse directions.

[0052] For example, the bearing strip extends vertically in such a way that the locking element of the other side wall, when the other side wall is supported on the bearing strip, is spaced away from the bottom of the container. The bearing strip includes, for example, a gripping area, which is located, in particular, in a central region of the bearing strip in the longitudinal direction of the bearing strip.

[0053] For example, bearing strip side wall bearing openings are formed on both sides of the grip area in the longitudinal direction.

[0054] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing. It shows: Fig. 1 a perspective view of a roll container according to a first embodiment of the invention; Fig. 2 a top view of a container bottom of the roll container made of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 a perspective view of the roll container Fig. 1 together with other roll containers stored on the roll container; Fig. 4 a top view of the roll container Fig. 1 together with the other roll containers stored on the roll container; Fig. 5 a section view along line VV in Fig. 4 through the roll container Fig. 1 together with the other roll containers stored on the roll container; Fig. 6 a perspective view of a roll container according to a second embodiment of the invention; Fig. 7 a top view of a container bottom of the roll container made of Fig. 6; Fig. 8 a perspective view of the roll container from Fig. 6 together with additional side walls stored on the roll container; Fig. 9 a top view of the roll container Fig. 6 together with the additional side walls stored on the roll container; Fig. 10 a bottom view of the roll container made of Fig. 6 together with the additional side walls stored on the roll container; Fig. 11 a perspective view of a roll container according to a third embodiment of the invention before mounting of bearing strips of the roll container; Fig. 12 one Fig. 11 corresponding view, during the assembly of the bearing strips; Fig. 13 one Fig. 11 corresponding view with mounted bearing strips; Fig. 14 one Fig. 13 corresponding view together with further side walls stored on the roll container; Fig. 15 a section view along line XV-XV in Fig. 14 through the roll container Fig. 14 together with the other side walls; Fig. 16 a perspective view of the bearing strip; Fig. 17 another perspective view of the bearing strip; Fig. 18 a perspective view of a roll container according to a fourth embodiment of the invention; and Fig. 19 a perspective view of a bearing strip of the roll container Fig. 18.

[0055] In the Fig. Figures 1 and 3 to 5 show a roll container 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention. Fig. Figures 3 to 5 show the roll container together with additional side panels and / or additional base containers, which are stored on top of roll container 1. Fig. Figure 2 shows the bottom of the container 2 of the roll container 1 in isolation.

[0056] The roll container 1 comprises the container base 2 and two side walls 3. The side walls 3 are arranged on sides of the container base 2 opposite each other in the longitudinal direction x. To fix the side walls 3 to the container base 2, the container base 2 includes a first side wall opening 7 and a second side wall opening 8 at opposite end areas in the longitudinal direction x. The first side wall opening 7 and the second side wall opening 8 are provided at opposite ends of the container base 2 in the transverse direction y.

[0057] The side walls 3 each have two longitudinal beams 4 and 5, which define the side walls 3 in the transverse direction y. The longitudinal beams 4 are each inserted into one end of the first side wall openings 7, and the longitudinal beams 5 are each inserted into one end of the second side wall openings 8. The side walls 3 are detachably fixed to the container base 2 by means of a locking element 6, so that removal of the side walls 3 from the side wall openings 7 and 8 is impossible when the locking element 6 is in a locking position in which a transverse element 15 of the locking element 6 engages underneath it. To release the locking elements 6 from the locking position, each locking element 6 includes a quick-release pin 14. The quick-release pin 14 extends orthogonally to the transverse element 15 and, in the locking position of the locking element 6, projects upwards in the vertical direction z from a transverse beam of the respective side wall 3.

[0058] As from Fig. As can be seen in Figure 2, the bottom container comprises two side wall bearing openings, 9 and 10. The first side wall bearing openings 9 of the side wall bearing openings 9 and 10 are formed on a first edge region of the container bottom 2 in the transverse direction y and are aligned in the longitudinal direction x with the first side wall openings 7. The second side wall bearing openings 10 of the side wall bearing openings 9 and 10 are formed on a second edge region of the container bottom 2 opposite the first edge region in the transverse direction y. The second side wall bearing openings 10 are aligned in the longitudinal direction x with the second side wall openings 8. In the transverse direction y, the first side wall bearing openings 9 each align with a corresponding second side wall bearing opening 10 and together they form a pair of side wall bearing openings.

[0059] For the storage of further side walls 12 on the container bottom 2, the further side walls 12, in particular longitudinal beams of these, can each be inserted into a pair of side wall storage openings.

[0060] The first side wall bearing opening 9 and the second side wall bearing opening 10 have geometries corresponding to the first side wall opening 7 and the second side wall opening 8.

[0061] Between the pairs of side wall bearing openings, two locking element recesses 11 are formed in the container bottom 2, which are aligned with the pair of side wall bearing openings in the transverse direction y.

[0062] The locking elements 6 are mounted on the crossbeams so as to be displaceable in the transverse direction y by a defined displacement path. The locking element recesses are arranged on the container bottom 2 such that locking elements 6 of the other side walls 12 can be inserted into both locking element recesses 11 arranged between the locking element pairs.

[0063] As from Fig. As can be seen in Figure 5, locking elements 6 of adjacent further side walls 12 are arranged, in particular, in locking element recesses 11, which are offset from each other in the transverse direction y. That is, if a locking element 6 of a first further side wall 12 is arranged in a locking element recess 11 which faces the first side wall bearing opening 9, a locking element 6 of a further side wall 12 which is mounted in an adjacent pair of side wall bearing openings is arranged in a locking element recess 11 which faces the second side wall bearing openings 10 or the second edge region.

[0064] The locking element recesses 11 have a geometry corresponding to the locking elements 6, in particular the quick-release pins 14 of the locking elements 6. Thus, when inserted into a locking element recess 11, the locking elements 6 are mounted in a defined position, in particular such that the quick-release pin 14 extends in the vertical direction z. The transverse element 15 preferably extends in the longitudinal direction x, i.e., horizontally.

[0065] In the Fig. Figures 6 and 8 to 10 show a roll container 16 according to a second embodiment of the invention. The roll container 16 according to the second embodiment essentially corresponds to the one described above and shown in the Fig. Figures 1 to 5 depict roll containers 1 according to the first embodiment. Therefore, only the distinguishing features are explained below. Otherwise, the embodiments described above apply accordingly. Identical elements are marked with the same reference numerals in the figures.

[0066] As can be seen in particular from the sole representation of a container bottom 17 of the roll container 16 in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 7, the container base 17 comprises side wall bearing openings 18 and 19. The first side wall bearing openings 18 are arranged in a first edge region in the transverse direction y such that, relative to the first side wall bearing openings 7, they are offset inwards in the transverse direction y, i.e., towards the second side wall bearing openings 8, or towards a longitudinal center plane of the container base. The second side wall bearing openings 19 are provided in a second edge region opposite in the transverse direction y. The second side wall bearing openings 19 are offset inwards in the transverse direction y relative to the second side wall bearing openings 8, towards the longitudinal center plane of the container base. The first side wall bearing openings 18 and the second side wall bearing openings 19 are formed alternately in the longitudinal direction x of the container base 2.In a projection of the first side wall bearing openings 18 in the transverse direction y, a corresponding one of the second side wall bearing openings 19 is arranged between the first side wall bearing openings 18.

[0067] As from the Fig. As can be seen from Figures 8 to 10, further side walls 12, which are mounted on the container bottom 17, thus, when these are arranged in the side wall bearing openings 18 and 19, project laterally alternately from sides of the container bottom 2 opposite each other in the transverse direction y.

[0068] The container bottom 17 comprises locking element recesses 20. In particular, the container bottom 17 comprises a first row of locking element recesses 20 extending in the longitudinal direction x and a second row of locking element recesses 20 adjacent to the first row in the transverse direction y. The rows are slightly inclined in their longitudinal direction x towards a transverse median plane in the transverse direction y and are, in particular, mirror-symmetrical to a diagonal of the bottom container 17. The locking element recesses have a rectangular or square profile or the shape of a parallelogram in a top view.

[0069] The locking elements 6 of the additional side walls 12 are arranged in a locking element recess 20 of the first row or a locking element recess 20 of the second row, depending on whether the additional side walls 12 are arranged in the first side wall bearing openings 18 or in the second side wall bearing openings 19. That is, all additional side walls 12 arranged in the first side wall bearing openings 18 are arranged in the locking element recesses 20 of the first row, which faces the second side wall openings 8, while all locking elements 6 of the additional side walls 12, which are mounted in the second side wall bearing openings 19, are arranged in locking element recesses 20 of the second row, which faces the first side wall openings 7.

[0070] As from Fig. As can be seen in Figure 10, the container bottom 17 includes a reinforcement structure which extends in particular diagonally and is fixed to an underside of the container bottom 17.

[0071] The Fig. Figures 11 to 15 show a roll container 22 according to a third embodiment of the invention. The roll container 22 according to the third embodiment essentially corresponds to the one described above and in the Fig. Figures 1 to 5 depict roll containers 1 according to the first embodiment. Therefore, only the distinguishing features are explained below. Otherwise, the embodiments described above apply accordingly. Identical elements are marked with the same reference numerals in the figures.

[0072] The roll container 22 comprises a container base 23, which includes two storage rail openings 24 on each of its sides opposite each other in the transverse direction y. It is also conceivable to provide only one storage rail opening or more than two storage rail openings 24 on the container base 23.

[0073] The roll container 22 includes two storage rails 25 and 26, which are located in the Fig. 16 and Fig. Figure 17 shows the bearing strips 25 and 26 in isolation. Each bearing strip has two bearing projections 29, which correspond to the bearing strip openings 24. To support further side walls 12 on the container bottom 23, the bearing strips 25 and 26 are arranged on the container bottom 23 such that the bearing projections 29 are each located in the respective bearing strip openings 24. The bearing strips 25 and 26 extend in the longitudinal direction x and are located on sides of the container bottom 23 opposite each other in the transverse direction y.

[0074] The bearing strips 25 and 26 each include bearing strip side wall bearing openings 28. The bearing strip 25 is arranged on the container bottom 23 such that its bearing strip side wall bearing openings 28 are aligned in the longitudinal direction x with the first side wall openings 7. The bearing strip 26 is mounted on the container bottom 23 such that its bearing strip side wall bearing openings 28 are aligned in the longitudinal direction x with the second side wall openings 8. In the transverse direction y, the bearing strip wall bearing openings 28 of the first bearing strip 25 are aligned with a corresponding bearing strip wall bearing opening 28 of the bearing strip 26. To support the further side walls 12 on the container bottom 23, longitudinal beams of the side walls are each inserted into bearing strip wall bearing openings 28 that are aligned with each other in the transverse direction y.

[0075] The bearing strips 25 and 26 have such an extension in the vertical direction z that the locking elements 6 of the further side walls 12, when the further side walls 12 are inserted into the bearing strip side wall bearing openings 28, are at least slightly spaced away from the container bottom 23 and thus hang freely on crossbeams of the further side walls 12.

[0076] For easy assembly and disassembly of the bearing strips 25 and 26, each includes a handle element 27. The handle element 27 can be arranged, in particular, between two areas encompassing the bearing strip side wall bearing openings 28.

[0077] In the Fig. 18 and Fig. Figure 19 shows a roll container 32 according to a fourth embodiment of the invention. The roll container 32 according to the fourth embodiment essentially corresponds to the one described above and in the Fig.Figures 11 to 17 show the roll container 22 according to the third embodiment. Therefore, only the distinguishing features are explained below. Otherwise, the embodiments described above apply accordingly. Identical elements are marked with the same reference numerals in the figures.

[0078] In the fourth embodiment, the roll container 32 comprises two bearing strips 30 and 31 instead of the bearing strips 25 and 26. The bearing strips 30 and 31 differ from the bearing strips 25 and 26 in that, instead of the bearing projections 29, they each comprise two U-shaped projections 33.

[0079] The U-shaped projections 33 are arranged at opposite ends of each of the bearing strips 30 and 31. When the bearing strips 30 and 31 are functionally assembled, they rest on the container bottom 23, with the U-shaped projections 33 engaging opposite longitudinal beams 4 and 5 of the side walls 3 in the longitudinal direction x such that the bearing strips 30 and 31 are secured or fixed against displacement in the longitudinal direction x and in the transverse direction y by positive locking.
