Description
[0001] The invention relates to a protection system and rolling container for protecting transported goods according to the preamble of claim 1.
[0002] Several state-of-the-art protection systems for transporting goods on roll containers are known. Preventing goods from falling during transport plays a key role. The protection system should also protect the goods from the weather, other contaminants, and theft.
[0003] The most common method is to wrap the roll container with adhesive film after loading. This film effectively prevents the goods from falling by connecting them to the side rails of the roll container. It also prevents opportunistic theft by passersby, as the goods remain inaccessible. A disadvantage, however, is that applying the adhesive film is time-consuming and must be done by a person or machine. Furthermore, the film must be cut to remove the goods. This makes reuse impossible, and a large amount of waste is generated after each transport.
[0004] An alternative to film is the installation of a protection system in the form of a grid or net. However, both forms of protection have the disadvantage that they only protect sufficiently large transported goods from falling and theft. Furthermore, the use of a net or grid leaves the transported goods exposed to the elements and other contaminants. Furthermore, the grid and net have the disadvantage that they are heavy and unwieldy compared to adhesive film. This makes the return transport and storage of the protection systems together with the roll container more difficult.
[0005] Another known protection system is made of plastic fabric or a rigid film. The protection system essentially has the shape of the transport container and is placed over the roll container for installation, which usually requires two people. Installation is very complex or even impossible, especially with poorly positioned and / or bulky transport items. While this protection system provides protection against the elements, it does not prevent the transported items from falling. Small transported items, in particular, push the protection system to the side when falling and slide through the gap between the wall and the roll container.
[0006] Recently, the use of boards or panels made of reusable plastic has become more widespread. These are attached to the grids of roll containers using drawstrings. While these are lighter than, for example, grids, they also take up a lot of space. This also complicates the return transport and storage of roll containers. Furthermore, they offer only limited protection from the elements. Their installation on the roll container is also complex.
[0007] Further protection systems for roll containers are disclosed in DE 603 16 242 T2, EP 3 342 674 A1, AT 11 917 U1 and EP 2 905 197 A1.
[0008] There is therefore a great need for a reusable, inexpensive, lightweight protection system for goods transported on a roll container that protects the goods from falling out, theft, and / or weathering, is simple, easy, and quick to install, and allows access by authorized personnel. Furthermore, the protection system should be cost-effective to manufacture, durable, and individually adaptable to the size, quantity, and preferred and appropriate outer packaging of the goods being transported, with a further focus on ensuring that the protection system can be stored as compactly and space-savingly as possible. The invention therefore sets itself the task of providing a protection system to overcome the aforementioned difficulties.
[0009] This problem is solved in a surprisingly simple but effective manner by a protection system and roll container according to the teaching of the independent main claim 1.
[0010] According to the invention, a protection system for protecting transported goods on a rolling container is proposed, wherein the protection system comprises at least one side wall and the rolling container comprises at least one side surface, wherein the at least one side surface can be partially or completely covered by the at least one side wall, and wherein the protection system comprises at least one fastening means. The protection system is characterized in that the protection system can be detachably or permanently connected to the rolling container via the at least one fastening means, and the protection system is made of a flexible material.
[0011] The basic idea is to design the protection system so that it is suitable for reuse, while enabling space-saving storage and easy return transport when not in use, while still optimally protecting the transported goods from unauthorized access, falling out, theft and / or weather.
[0012] According to the invention, the protection system for transported goods on a roll container, which has at least one, preferably two, three, or four, partially closed side surfaces, comprises at least one, preferably two, three, or four, side walls. The term "roll container" refers to a means of transporting goods in which a wheel is generally mounted on each corner of a rectangular base plate. However, other geometric shapes of the base plate are also conceivable. The goods are placed on the base plate. The geometric shape of the base plate creates corresponding side surfaces to which side grilles can be attached. For example, a rectangular base plate creates four side surfaces, of which side grilles are generally attached to one, two, three, or all four side surfaces.The side rails provide the necessary stability for the stacked transported goods and enable easy manual maneuvering of the roll container. Preferably, two side rails are attached to opposite side surfaces. Within the scope of the invention, the design of the at least one side wall and / or side surface is of secondary importance, so they can be designed identically or differently.
[0013] Furthermore, it has been recognized according to the invention that the at least one side wall partially or completely covers the at least one side surface. The term "covering" refers to the suitability of an object to cover something or to form a covering for it. It has been recognized that only by covering the transported goods is it possible to protect them from unauthorized access, falling out, theft, and / or weather. The term "fully covering" refers to the suitability of an object to completely enclose another object. The term "partially covering" refers to the suitability of an object to enclose a locally limited, continuous part of another object.
[0014] Within the scope of the invention, it has been recognized that the protective system comprises at least one fastening means and can be detachably connected to a rolling container via said at least one fastening means. Due to the detachable connectability of the protective system to the rolling container, the assembly and disassembly of the protective system can be carried out quickly and easily by a single person. The term "detachably or permanently connectable" refers to the suitability of an object to form a detachable or permanent connection with another object. The term "detachable connection" refers to a connection that can be released by performing predetermined actions without destroying the rolling container or the protective system. The term "permanent connection" refers to a connection that can only be released by completely or partially destroying the rolling container or the protective system.Such a detachable or non-detachable connection is made possible by any fastening means known to the person skilled in the art.
[0015] Furthermore, it was recognized as essential to the invention that the protective system be made of a flexible material. The term "flexible" refers to any material that can be bent, pulled, compressed, and / or deformed under the action of a force or moment without damage and according to the required conditions. By using flexible materials, the protective system itself can be optimally adapted to the roll container and / or the transported goods. In principle, any transported goods are conceivable. Flexible materials offer the advantage that they can be made lighter and thinner than rigid materials. A person skilled in the art also knows that flexible materials are insensitive to impacts and stresses, whereas rigid materials are irreversibly deformed and even break under excessive load.Furthermore, when using a flexible material, it is possible to fold, bend, roll, crumple and / or gather the protective system into a compact package when not in use. This simplifies the return transport of the protective system and storage when not in use. Furthermore, it has been recognized that the falling of the transported goods is also prevented by a protective system made of a flexible material if the material is subjected to sufficient mechanical tension. The application of mechanical tension to the protective system is made possible by the inventive connection of the protective system to the roll container. It has been recognized as essential to the invention that the integration of the side railing of the roll container into the protective system gives it the necessary stability, making it possible to dispense with rigid materials and instead use flexible materials.
[0016] The use of a detachable connection makes it possible to detach the protective system from the roll container non-destructively when not in use. The flexible material allows the system to be compactly packed and stored together or separately until the next use. With a non-detachable connection, the flexible material allows the protective system to be compactly packed on the roll container and stored together with the roll container when not in use. Likewise, the flexible material applied to the connection between the protective system and the roll container allows for optimal protection of the transported goods.
[0017] The invention makes it possible to provide a protection system that can be installed simply, quickly, and easily by a single person and protects the transported goods from unauthorized access, falling out, theft, and / or weather. When installed, the protection system is resilient, durable, lightweight, adaptable to the roll container and / or the transported goods, and folds up to save space. Compared to the reusable protection systems known from the prior art, it takes up less space and can therefore accommodate more transported goods. This allows transport costs to be significantly reduced. Furthermore, the protection system can be easily reduced to a manageable and compact package size for optimal storage when not in use.
[0018] Advantageous further developments of the invention are presented in the subclaims.
[0019] In a further development of the invention, it is conceivable that a further fastening means, preferably a flat and / or point fastening means, is a hook-and-loop fastener, a band, a magnet, a form-fitting part, a buckle, a button such as a snap fastener, a zipper, a friction weld seam, an adhesive seam and / or a rivet. The protective system preferably comprises two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty or more fastening means of different or identical design. Those skilled in the art know that the tensile force which a flat fastening means, such as, but by no means exclusively, a hook-and-loop fastener or a magnet, can absorb without unintentional opening depends directly on the size of the surface area of the fastening means. The largest possible surface area is advantageous.It is also known to those skilled in the art that a point-type fastening device, such as, but by no means exclusively, a button or buckle, forms a positive connection through appropriate design and / or placement. Therefore, the accidental opening of point-type fastening devices is impossible when used properly.
[0020] The use of the additional fastening means is not limited to the detachable or permanent connection of the protection system to the roll container; according to the invention, at least one fastening means enables the detachable or permanent connection of the protection system to the roll container. Other conceivable applications of a fastening means include the detachable connection to one or more other identically or differently designed protection systems and / or to another area of the protection system in order to protect a larger portion of the transported goods and / or to achieve improved protection of the transported goods. In particular, this should achieve higher tension and / or greater tightness.Another conceivable application is maintaining a partially or completely folded, bent, rolled, crumpled, and / or gathered state of the protective system and / or the detachable connection of the protective system to the roll container in the aforementioned state. This facilitates transport and / or storage of the protective system when not in use. The other part and / or the other area of the protective system preferably has a fastening element that can be connected to the fastening element. An example of a fastening element with a fastening element counterpart is a hook-and-loop fastener, which can be designed as a barbed hook or as a loop fastener compatible with the hook-and-loop fastener. Furthermore, it is also conceivable for a fastening element to serve one or more purposes.Within the scope of the invention, it has been recognized that the design of the fastening means is basically arbitrary, but some fastening means are particularly preferred. A hook and loop fastener is preferred because it can usually be installed easily and conveniently with one hand. At the same time, depending on whether the protective system is mounted on the roll container or disassembled and folded for storage, it is possible to attribute several possible uses to a hook and loop fastener element. A magnet is advantageous because it can be attached to the side grilles of the roll container. It has been recognized that the side grilles of roll containers are usually made of a magnetic material, such as iron. With the help of a magnet, rapid adhesion of the protective system to the roll container is guaranteed by the magnetic attraction force between the magnet and the side grille caused by the magnetic field.Further preferred is a form-fitting part, in particular a form-fitting part which is pulled over the upper edge of the side rail of the roll container in a form-fitting manner. Particularly preferred is a form-fitting part which is pulled over the upper edge of the side rail. Even more preferred is a buckle as the fastening means, as this can also be connected to several different counterparts. A buckle is resistant to tensile force. The buckle is preferably a click buckle or an adjustable buckle. Another conceivable design is a zipper, as this enables a connection, in particular a weather-resistant connection, over a longer distance. Particularly preferred is a non-detachable fastening means to permanently connect the protection system to the roll container. This means that the protection system is accessible at all times.Further preferably, the fastening means is a friction weld seam and / or an adhesive seam, since these can be made weather-resistant.
[0021] In a preferred development, it is conceivable for the side wall to comprise an outer side, an inner side, an upper edge, a lower edge, and / or at least one lateral edge, and for the further fastening means to be arranged in the region of the outer side, the inner side, the upper edge, the lower edge, and / or the at least one lateral edge. Furthermore, it is conceivable for the further fastening means to be arranged laterally and / or centrally on the upper edge, the lower edge, and / or the at least one lateral edge, as well as in any conceivable region in between. Preferably, one, more preferably two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more fastening means are arranged at regular or irregular intervals on the upper edge, the lower edge, and / or on at least one lateral edge.It is also conceivable for two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more differently and / or identically designed fastening means to be located at the same point. Within the scope of the invention, it has been recognized that the placement of the fastening means has a major influence on practicality, particularly with regard to assembly and disassembly. If the fastening means is arranged on the inside of the side wall, for example, it can be easily connected to the side surface of the roll container. A fastening means on the outside of the side wall is particularly useful with regard to connection to one or more other identically or differently designed protection systems and / or to another part of the protection system with the advantages mentioned above. A fastening means on the upper edge of the protection system enables quick assembly of the protection system on the roll container.However, if the fastening element is located on the lower edge, this can place tension on the side wall, so that the side wall of the protection system rests against the side surface of the roll container and prevents the transported goods from falling out. Fasteners on the side edges also allow tension to be applied, but also provide the protection system with increased tightness and / or enable the protection system to be closed. Centrally mounted fastening elements bring the side wall into closer contact with the side surface, thereby stabilizing the transported goods in their intended position. They can also further increase the tension on the side walls and thus prevent the transported goods from falling out.
[0022] It is also conceivable for the protection system to comprise two, three or four side walls in order to enclose all side surfaces of the roll container and to optimally protect the transported goods from unauthorized access, falling out, theft and / or weather.
[0023] In another embodiment, it is conceivable for the protection system to include a roof. To optimally protect the transported goods from unauthorized access, falling out, theft, and / or weather, particularly from snow or rain, it is advisable to cover the top of the roll container. The roof can be designed as desired, but a rollover is preferred. It is conceivable for the protection system to include at least one additional fastening means that enables a detachable or permanent connection of the roof to another part of the protection system. Suitable fastening means for a detachable or permanent connection are known to a person skilled in the art.
[0024] Furthermore, it is conceivable for the protective system to comprise at least one flap. The overlap of two or more sections caused by the flap and according to the invention makes it possible to increase protection against the weather and / or to reliably and securely keep the protective system in the compact packaging dimensions when not in use. Preferably, at least one fastening means, more preferably a flat fastening means, such as a hook-and-loop fastener, is arranged on the at least one flap. Furthermore, it has been recognized that with the aid of a suitably designed flap, it is possible to also protect bulky and / or poorly positioned transport goods with the protective system, since the circumference of the protective system can be increased if necessary.The term "tab" refers to a section of the protective cover which is placed in an overlapping manner over another section of the same, a different and / or a different part of the protective cover.
[0025] It is also conceivable for the protection system to be designed in one or more parts. A one-piece protection system offers the advantage that all parts are always available. A multi-piece protection system, on the other hand, can significantly simplify installation. Furthermore, the protection system can be optimally adapted to the roll container and / or the transported goods.
[0026] In a further development, it is conceivable for at least one side wall to be partially or fully openable and closable. Preferably, two, three, more or all side walls are partially or fully openable and closable. If a side wall is partially or fully openable and closable, the removal and placement of transport goods in the roll container is possible even after the protection system has been installed on the roll container. This procedure speeds up loading and unloading of the transport goods, particularly when the transport goods do not have the same destination or origin. It is also conceivable for the side wall to be able to be opened and closed locally at several points, so that reaching in can be carried out at the point where the transport goods to be removed are located or where the transport goods to be added are to be placed.Preferably, the protection system has at least one fastening means, described in detail elsewhere, which enables the side wall to be opened and closed by means of a detachable connection.
[0027] Furthermore, it is conceivable that the security system includes an anti-theft device. Within the scope of the invention, it was recognized that existing systems are also intended to protect goods against theft. In principle, several types of anti-theft devices are conceivable. For example, it is conceivable that the security system is connected to the roll container with a lock or secured against unauthorized opening. Additionally, it is conceivable that an alarm-generating electrical anti-theft device is installed.
[0028] In another development, it is conceivable for the protection system to include coding. The coding can be designed as desired; coding using a chip, number, barcode, QR code, and / or label is preferred. Coding using a GPS tracker is particularly preferred. A GPS tracker enables the protection system and the roll container connected to the protection system to be located. Coding using an RFID chip is even more preferred. RFID chips can be detected by an external electronic system. This is also possible when the electronic system is at a distance from the RFID chip. It is therefore possible for the transported item to be placed on a roll container, and for a label matching the transported item to be stored in conjunction with the RFID chip. The label is then transmitted electronically to the target system in conjunction with the coding stored on the RFID chip.If the roll container is now delivered to the destination together with the transported goods and the protection system, the electronic system registers the RFID chip and automatically records the transported goods as present.
[0029] In another embodiment of the invention, it is conceivable for the protection system to comprise at least one, preferably two, three, four, five, six or more, indentations. The indentation is preferably in the central region of the side wall to facilitate the loading and unloading of transported goods. Even more preferably, the indentation is located in the lateral region of the side wall. In this way, the side grid of the roll container can be grasped for secure control of the roll container. Preferably, the indentation can also be opened and closed by at least one fastening means. Furthermore, it is conceivable for the indentation to be secured with an anti-theft device. Furthermore, it is conceivable for the protection system to comprise a fastening means which, through suitable placement, makes the indentation openable and closable.
[0030] In yet another preferred embodiment, the protective system is made of a lightweight, liquid-repellent, waterproof, wipeable, machine-washable, jet-water-resistant, tear-resistant, abrasion-resistant, cut-resistant, durable, heat-resistant, cold-resistant, UV-resistant, flame-retardant, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, translucent, transparent, and / or food-safe material. Within the scope of the invention, it has been recognized that a lightweight material only adds minimal weight. Particularly in the transportation industry, additional weight always also means additional costs, especially when the goods are to be transported by truck, aircraft, or ship, where fuel consumption increases with the transport weight. A lightweight material is also advantageous during storage, as it does not place excessive strain on the employee stowing the protective system.If the material is liquid-repellent and / or waterproof, it offers optimal protection against the elements. However, since other events can also cause the protective system to become dirty, it is advantageous if the protective system can be cleaned. This is particularly the case if the material is machine washable, water jet resistant and / or wipeable. Under these circumstances, cleaning can be carried out using a cloth, a washing machine and / or a steam jet device. The use of a tear-resistant, abrasion-resistant, cut-resistant and / or durable material enables a long service life of the protective system. Within the scope of the invention, it was recognized that transported goods can be exposed to extreme external conditions. In particular, storage in heat, which can develop, for example, in a truck at high outside temperatures, or even cold, such as in a cold storage facility, are conceivable.It has also been recognized that roll containers are sometimes left outdoors, where they are exposed to direct UV light. Therefore, it is advantageous if the material is heat-resistant, cold-resistant and / or UV-resistant. To protect the transported goods and the people handling them from fire, it is also desirable for the material to be flame-retardant. Since it is conceivable that the transported goods are food and / or an article intended for contact with food, it is preferred that the material be antibacterial, antiviral and / or antifungal. It is well known that bacteria, viruses and / or fungi are promoted in their growth by food and food residues and can simultaneously cause health problems in humans.It has been recognized that for optimal protection of food and items intended for contact with food, it is advantageous if the material of the protective system is also suitable for contact with food. This is made possible by food-safe materials. It is also advantageous if the material is translucent and / or transparent, as this makes it clear from the outside what goods are being transported on the roll container. The term "food-safe" refers to materials that comply with the relevant legal requirements for food contact materials.
[0031] In a further development, it is conceivable for the protective system to be made of a single-layer or multi-layer fabric or a single-layer or multi-layer film. Within the scope of the invention, it has been recognized that a fabric or film fulfills one, several, or all of the above-mentioned desired properties. The material is particularly preferably a polyethylene tape fabric. Polyethylene tape fabric is lightweight, foldable, bendable, waterproof, wipeable, jet-water-resistant, tear-resistant, abrasion-resistant, durable, heat-resistant, cold-resistant, and translucent. Alternatively, it is conceivable for the material to be made of a renewable raw material, such as cotton, or a bio-based plastic and / or to be biodegradable. Such materials enable particularly environmentally friendly production and / or disposal.
[0032] In a further development, it is conceivable for the protective system to be collapsible. Within the scope of the invention, it has been recognized that a collapsible protective system is easy to transport and store. It is irrelevant whether the protective system is collapsible due to the material used or its construction. A material is collapsible in particular if it is foldable and / or bendable. Suitable materials are known to those skilled in the art. Design options for ensuring collapsibility are also known to those skilled in the art. For example, hinges or the insertion of seams to which strips of elastic material are inserted are conceivable at this point.
[0033] In principle, it's up to you what the roll container is transporting and what the protection system is protecting. The transported goods could be a product, a box, a carton, a parcel, a basket, a bag, a bowl, a plant, a sack, a container, a food item, a daily consumer item, an industrial good, an intermediate product, a consumer good, a medicine, and / or a suitcase. Furthermore, it's possible for two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more similar or different goods to be transported in one roll container and protected by the protection system.
[0034] It is assumed that the definitions and embodiments of the above terms apply to all aspects described in this description and below, unless otherwise stated. Further details, features, and advantages of the invention emerge from the following description of the preferred embodiments in conjunction with the subclaims. The invention is not limited to the embodiments, but is defined by the features of the claims. The embodiments are illustrated schematically in the figures. The same reference numerals in the individual figures designate identical or functionally identical elements or elements corresponding to one another in terms of their function.
[0035] In detail: Fig. 1 a plan view of part of a protection system according to the invention; Fig. 2 a sequence of images to illustrate the assembly of an embodiment of a protection system according to the invention.
[0036] Fig. 1 shows a plan view of part of a protective system 100 according to the invention. In this exemplary embodiment, the protective cover 100 is designed in two parts. The first part 101 and the second part 102 are designed identically. It is also conceivable that the first and / or the second part 101, 102 are each suitable for covering one, two, three, four, five, or more side surfaces of a roll container (not shown). Furthermore, it is conceivable that the individual parts of the multi-part protective system 100 are designed differently and can cover the same or different number of side surfaces of the roll container (not shown).
[0037] How good in Fig. 1 As can be seen, the first and second parts 101, 102 of the protection system 100 in this exemplary embodiment each have a first side wall 111 and a second side wall 112. The first side wall 111 comprises a first fastening means 130, which for assembly can be pulled in a form-fitting manner over a side grille (not shown) of the roll container (not shown). The first fastening means 130 is located on the side of the first and second parts 101, 102 facing away from the plane of the drawing. This fact is indicated by the dashed line. The first fastening means 130 is formed by a tab being first arranged on the upper edge of the first side 111 during the manufacture of the protection system 100, which tab is then folded back and connected laterally to the first part 111 using suitable means. Suitable connections include, for example, sewing, gluing or friction welding.Other manufacturing methods for the first fastening means 130 are also conceivable in principle and known to those skilled in the art. In addition, the first and second parts 101, 102 comprise a second and a third fastening means 131, 132, which are arranged on the lower edge of the first side wall 111 on the left and right sides, respectively. As can be clearly seen, the second and third fastening means 131, 132 are spaced apart from the lower edge and the side edge. It is also conceivable to place the second and third fastening means 131, 132 directly on the edge. In this exemplary embodiment, the second and third fastening means 131, 132 are designed as a magnet. Furthermore, the first side wall 111 comprises a fourth, fifth and sixth fastening means 121, 122, 123, which in this exemplary embodiment are designed as a hook-and-loop fastener.The fourth fastening means 121 is located on the upper left-hand edge, the fifth fastening means 122 is located centrally on the left-hand edge, and the sixth fastening means 123 is located on the lower left-hand edge above the second fastening means 131. The fourth, fifth, and sixth fastening means 121, 122, 123 are each spaced from the edges. However, it is fundamentally also conceivable for them to be placed directly on the edges. Furthermore, it is also conceivable for the second and sixth fastening means 131, 123 to be arranged partially or completely overlapping. This is due to their different modes of action and orientation. The second fastening means 131 is designed as a magnet and can be connected to a side grille (not shown). When used according to the invention, this is located on the side facing away from the viewing plane.The sixth fastening means 123, however, is arranged on the side facing the viewing plane, which, according to the type, also represents the effective direction of the sixth fastening means 123. The fourth, fifth, and sixth fastening means 121, 122, 123 are rectangular in shape, with the longer perpendicular bisector of the rectangular shape aligned parallel to the upper or lower edge of the first side wall 111. This orientation and the elongated shape have the advantage that the circumference of the protection system 100 can be enlarged or reduced, respectively, and thus optimally adapted to the transported goods. In principle, other designs of the fourth, fifth, and sixth fastening means 121, 122, 123 are also conceivable.
[0038] Furthermore, it is the Fig. 1 It can be clearly seen that the protection system 100 also comprises a seventh, eighth, and ninth fastening means 124, 125, 126. The seventh, eighth, and ninth fastening means 124, 125, 126 are also designed as hook-and-loop fasteners in this exemplary embodiment. The seventh fastening means 124 is arranged on the upper edge of the second side wall 124 on the right-hand side. The eighth fastening means 125 is arranged centrally on the right-hand edge of the second side wall 112. The ninth fastening means 126 is arranged on the lower edge of the second side wall 112 on the right-hand side. The seventh, eighth, and ninth fastening means 124, 125, 126 are spaced from the edges. However, it is also conceivable for them to be placed directly on the edge. The task of the seventh, eighth and ninth fastening means 124, 125, 126 is to maintain a folded state.For this purpose, the second side wall 112 is folded onto the first side wall 111, and the seventh fastening means 124 is connected to the fourth fastening means 121, the eighth fastening means 125 to the fifth fastening means 122, and the ninth fastening means 126 to the sixth fastening means 123. Due to their function, it is possible to design the seventh, eighth, and ninth fastening means 124, 125, and 126 significantly narrower than the third, fourth, and fifth fastening means 121, 122, and 123.
[0039] In addition, it is the Fig. 1 It can be seen that a first and a second engagement 141, 142 are arranged on the edge between the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112. The arrangement on the edge serves to enable the gripping of a side rail (not shown). In principle, however, it is conceivable to arrange one, two, three, four or more engagements on the first side wall 111 and / or the second side wall 112 in addition to or instead of the first and second engagements 141, 142. These engagements can be used, for example, to remove transported goods from the roll container without having to dismantle the protection system 100. The third and fourth engagements 143, 144 are arranged between the second side wall 112 and a tab 150 and, in the same way as the first and second engagements 141, 142, enable the gripping of a second side rail (not shown).
[0040] On the right edge of the second side wall 112, the tab 150 is arranged over the entire length of the protection system 100, as also shown in the Fig. 1 shown. A tenth, an eleventh, and a twelfth fastening means 127, 128, 129 are arranged on the tab 150. These are also designed as hook-and-loop fasteners. The tenth fastening means 127 is arranged on the upper edge, the eleventh fastening means 128 is arranged in the middle, and the twelfth fastening means 129 is arranged on the lower edge of the tab 150. To assemble the protective system, the tenth fastening means 127 of the first part 101 is connected to the fourth fastening means 121 of the second part 102. At the same time, the tenth fastening means 127 of the second part 102 is connected to the fourth fastening means 121 of the first part 101.

[0042] The Fign. 2a , 2b and 2c show the assembly of a further embodiment of a protection system 100 according to the invention on a roll container 200. In this embodiment, the protection system 100 is designed in two parts, with both parts 101, 102 of the protection system 100 being identical. The two parts 101, 102 each cover two side surfaces 211, 212, 213. In the sequence of figures of the Fign. 2a , 2b and 2cThe assembly of the first part 101 of the protection system 100 is shown. The second part 102 of the protection system 100 is mounted in an identical manner on the roller container 200 on the other side surfaces 211, 212, 213 not covered by the first part 101. Due to the identical design of the first and second parts 101, 102, the second part 102 also has all the features of the first part 101 described below.
[0043] In the Fig. 2a the first part 101 of the protection system 100 is already detachably connected to the roll container 200 by means of a first fastening means 130. In this embodiment, the first part 101 comprises a first and a second side wall 111, 112. The second side wall 112 is placed on the first side wall 111. An operator 300 holds the first part 101 in the lower region of the lateral edges of the first and second side walls 111, 112. In this embodiment, the roll container 200 comprises four side surfaces 211, 212, 213, although the third and fourth side surfaces are not shown. The first side surface 211 is open so that a transport item 290 can be placed on the roll container 200. The second side surface 212 is delimited by a first side grid 221.The first side grid 221 prevents the transported goods 290 from falling, provided its dimensions are larger than the mesh of the first side grid 221, and also enables the rolling container 200 to be moved. To enable the rolling container 200 to be moved easily, the rolling container 200 comprises four wheels 240. The wheels 240 and the first side grid 221 are mounted on a base plate 230, on which the transported goods 290 are also placed. The first fastening means 130 encloses the first side grid 221 in a form-fitting manner at the upper edge. In this way, the first part 101 remains connected to the rolling container 200 even if the operator 300 releases the first part 101. It is therefore possible to mount the protection system 100 on the rolling container 200 by a single person and without interrupting the process.
[0044] Fig. 2b shows the next step of assembly, in which the first part 101 is unfolded by the operator 300. The operator 300 has grasped the protection system by a tab 150 to fold the second side wall 112 away from the first side wall 111. The folding process is complete when the second side wall 112 is rotated through a 270° angle about the axis connecting the first and second side walls 111, 112 and covers the third, not shown, side surface of the roll container 200. The first side wall 111 covers the second side surface 212 and the first side grid 221 of the roll container 200. The protection system 100 is held in direct contact with the first side grid 221 by a second and a third fastening means 131, 132, which are attached to the lower edge of the first side wall 111.In this embodiment, the second and third fastening means 131, 132 are designed as magnets, which, with the aid of their magnetic field, exert an attractive force on the metal first side grille 221. They facilitate the assembly of the protection system 100 and provide better protection against the weather. The second and third fastening means 131, 132 are arranged on the side of the first side wall 111 facing away from the viewing plane, as indicated by the dashed line. A fourth, fifth, and sixth fastening means 121, 122, 123 are also arranged on the first side wall 111, and a seventh, eighth, and ninth fastening means 124, 125, 126 are arranged on the second side wall 112. Additionally, the tab 150 comprises a tenth, eleventh, and twelfth fastening means 127, 128, 129, which are arranged on the side of the tab 150 facing away from the viewing plane. This circumstance is indicated by the dashed line.The fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth fastening means 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129 are designed as hook-and-loop fasteners. The fourth, fifth, and sixth fastening means 121, 122, 123 serve a dual purpose in this embodiment. The first purpose is to facilitate the folding of the protection system 100 on the roll container 200 by connecting the fourth, fifth, and sixth fastening means 121, 122, 123 with the seventh, eighth, and ninth fastening means 124, 125, 126. This state is shown in the . Fig. 2a shown. This maintains the folded state, and the protection system 100 can be stowed more easily and in a more space-saving manner. The second possible use of the fourth, fifth, and sixth fastening means 121, 122, 123 is the connection to the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth fastening means 127, 128, 129 of the second part 102 of the protection system 100 (not shown). The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth fastening means 127, 128, 129 of the first part 101 of the protection system 100 are connected in the same way to the fourth, fifth, and sixth fastening means 121, 122, 123 of the second part 102 of the protection system 100 (not shown). The second side surface 212 also has four engagements 141, 142, 143, 144.In the assembled state, it remains possible to enclose the first side grid 121 and a second side grid (not shown), which is located on the fourth side surface (not shown) of the roll container 200, by hand, so that the roll container 200 can be maneuvered safely.
[0045] Fig. 2c shows the roll container 200 rotated by 90° to Fig. 2b ,so that the second side surface 212 and the third side surface 213 are visible. The first side wall 111 of the first part 101 covers the second side surface 212 with the first side grille 221, while the second side wall 112 covers the third side surface 213. Furthermore, the tab 150 of the second part 102 is also visible. The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth fastening means 127, 128, 129 of the second part 102 are connected to the fourth, fifth, and sixth fastening means 121, 122, 123 (not shown) of the first part 101. In this way, the protective system 100 has been closed. It is clearly visible that the tab 150 of the second part 101 is placed overlapping over the first side wall 111 of the first part 102.It is also easily conceivable that, if a bulky item 290 protrudes at least partially beyond the base plates 230, the overlap between the tab 150 of the second part 102 and the first side wall 111 of the first part 102 can be reduced. In this way, the circumference of the protection system 100 is increased, and the bulky item 290 is also completely covered. The first and second engagements 141, 142 of the first part 101 and the third or fourth engagements 143, 144 of the second part 102 enable the gripping of the first side rail 221. Furthermore, the third and fourth engagements 143, 144 of the first part 101 enable the gripping of the second side rail 222.
[0046] How easy it is to Fign. 2a , 2b and 2ccan be recognized, the protection system 100 prevents unauthorized access, falling out and / or theft of the non-illustrated transport goods and reliably protects them from the weather.
