Description

The present invention relates to a device for transporting objects according to the preamble of claim 1.

There are a variety of devices for transporting objects known. For example, boxes and boxes are used to store or transport items. However, such boxes and boxes are bulky and take up relatively much space when not in use. Also, these containers are usually intended for single use only.

For the transport of various items and plastic baskets are known. Such made of plastic shopping and washing baskets either consist of one piece, so that they are not collapsible, or include various mutually hinged sides that can be folded against each other, so that the laundry / shopping basket is brought into a less expansive form. This is usually done via sliding-folding mechanisms that connect the walls together. However, such sliding-folding mechanisms are less stable and require for the production of baskets high-quality plastic or metal as a starting material.

Likewise for the transport of bottles a variety of devices are known. Thus, beverage bottles, especially beer bottles, often in plastic carriers, so-called beverage crates, summarized and transported. Such beverage boxes usually comprise 12 or 24 bottles, which can be easily removed from the carrier. However, such a fully filled beverage crate has a considerable weight and is therefore unmanageable to transport alone. In addition, some consumers desire a smaller number of beverage bottles. Although these consumers can remove a number of bottles from the crate, but also the transport of the remaining bottles using the crate turns out to be difficult and uncomfortable due to the high weight of the crate and the considerable dimensions.

For a long time, also containers of six bottles have prevailed in the trade. These so-called six-packs are interconnected by cardboard devices.

These devices are usually designed so that the bottles can be transported in their entirety by the device by means of a handle. If a bottle is to be removed from the container, the device must be destroyed. This allows the retailer to sell a package to several bottles and thus demand a special price for the purchase of several bottles at the same time.

However, the consumer is usually unwilling to pay an extra for the device for connecting the bottles. On the contrary, it is rather expected that due to the simultaneous purchase of several bottles, a particularly favorable price will be granted. The devices should therefore be particularly inexpensive to manufacture. The consumer expects that these devices not only combine several bottles, but also allow the convenient and safe transport of the bottles, especially with public transport and / or the bicycle.

Since devices for collecting a plurality of bottles are usually manufactured in locations different from the place where the devices are filled with bottles, it is advantageous for the manufacturer if the devices have a small pack size, so that the transportation costs are low ,

DE 10 2007 057 342 A1 discloses a hinged bottle transport container that is suitable to be used often. This bottle transport container can be opened unfolded with bottles and folded, space-saving, to be transported. The bottle transport container has a bottom and two side walls, wherein the side walls are in the unfolded state almost perpendicular to the bottom surface. The one side wall is pivotally connected along a first side edge of the floor to the ground. If now the bottle transport container to be folded, the soil is pivoted upward along this axis of rotation, so that the second side edge of the soil along the second side wall moves upward. This allows the two side walls to move towards each other and eventually come to rest on the floor. This design assumes that the bottle transport container is made of relatively stiff materials. Usual materials, such as thin cardboard, can not be used.

The object of the invention is to provide a new device for transporting objects.

This object is achieved by a device according to claim 1. Preferred embodiments can be found in the subclaims.

In a first embodiment, the device for transporting objects comprises a floor. Two side walls are hinged to the bottom, the first side wall of the has two side walls at least one upper and one lower wall piece, which are hinged together. The second of the two side walls is rigid, so has no such joint. The device can be moved from a folded state to a state for transporting objects, wherein the state of the device, by being suitable for the transport of objects, is referred to as the unfolded state. Under a device for transporting objects, a variety of boxes, boxes, baskets, bottle holders, etc. are understood, for example, laundry baskets, shopping baskets and crates.

The device may be capable of storing or transporting articles of various characteristics, such as appearance, size, weight, number. Such items may include bottles, laundry, various consumer goods, etc. Of course, this also includes devices that are particularly suitable for the transport of a certain type of objects, such as bottles.

The device may be made of plastic such as PVC or paper and / or cardboard or solid materials such as metal.

The device can be transported in a collapsed state to save space and / or stored. If the device is to be used to transport or store objects, it is unfolded and then offers the possibility of placing objects inside it.

Preferably, the floor is a rectangular area, although of course other shapes, such as circular, oval or polygonal floors are conceivable. The side walls are rotatably connected at least in each case at one point to the ground, but preferably in each case over the entire length of the side edge of the floor. The side surfaces can be parallel to each other in the unfolded state of the device, so that the bottom together with the side surfaces forms three sides of a cuboid.

Preferably, the axes of rotation of the joints which connect the side walls with the ground, parallel to each other. Thus, the side walls can be moved together and against each other, so that the side walls come to lie one above the other and a particularly space-saving design is obtained.

Preferably, both the joints which connect the side walls to the floor, as well as the joint which connects the upper wall piece with the lower wall piece, hinges, a folding movement of the side walls against the ground and / or a folding movement of the upper wall piece against the lower Allow wall piece.

The floor can be provided continuously or with recesses. The recesses may serve, for example, to lock the transport device in a larger container by means of pins.

Under a hinge is understood in particular a compound that allows to move the two interconnected parts like a hinge against each other. The two connected parts can also be a common piece and the joint itself can be a bendable region connecting the two parts. The bendable region may have a smaller wall thickness than its surroundings and thus obtain the property of being able to be bent. Also, joints are included that connect two separately formed parts together. The use of a hinge integrally formed with the two hinged surfaces allows the device to be formed as a whole in one piece, and more particularly, but not exclusively, when using paper or paperboard as the starting material, the device is made of a piece of paper or cardboard. This makes it possible to reduce the steps in the production, since fewer pieces must be connected to each other. In addition, especially in the production of paper and / or cardboard by the one-piece, a particularly good material yield is possible.

Under the second rigid side wall can be understood a side wall, which is not foldable. However, the sidewall may also have a hinge, without departing from the spirit of the invention, as long as the axis of rotation of the hinge is not parallel to the axis of rotation of the hinge connecting the two wall pieces of the first sidewall. Of course, the rigid side wall can also have several parts, as long as these parts are not arranged foldable one above the other. It is also conceivable that the second side wall has a joint or a plurality of joints, wherein at least one of the joints has an axis of rotation which is parallel to the axis of rotation of the pivot connecting the two wall pieces of the first side wall, but the hinges are at a different distance from the corresponding one Have joint between side wall and floor.

In a further embodiment, in the folded-up form of the device, the second side wall lies at least over, in particular on, the upper partial surface of the first side wall. Under The term of resting is also understood here when the two side walls do not touch / or only at certain points, especially if there is only a small gap between the two parts.

In a further embodiment, the device has an end wall. The end wall is clamped between the two side walls on the front side of the device. The end wall can be hinged to the side walls and / or to the ground.

The end wall can consist of two or more partial surfaces which are moved against each other, in particular can be pivoted. The faces can be arranged side by side and / or one above the other. In particular, the distance of the joint to both side walls, when the device is in the unfolded state, that is suitable, is about the same size, so that the joint is located approximately in the middle between the two side walls.

The end wall can be made of a single piece, so that the part surfaces merge into each other and so the joint, which is located between the faces, is defined by a bendable area, for. B. with less material thickness.

In one embodiment, the hinge axis of the joint in the end wall is perpendicular and / or horizontal to the ground.

The device may have a rear wall in addition to the end wall. The rear wall is, if the device is in the unfolded state, ie during the transport of objects, parallel to the end wall. In this case, both in the end wall and located in the rear wall hinges may have parallel axes of rotation.

In particular, the end wall and the rear wall is pivotally connected to the upper wall piece of the first side wall. In particular, the end wall and the rear wall is pivotally connected to the upper wall piece of the first side wall.

Also, in other embodiments, at least the end wall is connected to both side walls as well as to the floor, which leads to an improvement in the stability of the unfolded device.

In one embodiment, the device has a plurality of holding surfaces, in particular two holding surfaces, which have recesses for holding bottles. In each case, a holding surface is connected to a side wall. The retaining surfaces can be connected to each other at the edge, which is not connected to one of the side walls, in particular glued.

In a further embodiment, the device has a handle for carrying or holding the device, wherein the handle is arranged above the side walls and is formed by the holding surfaces, or is in communication with the holding surfaces.

In particular, the handle consists of at least two parts, which are each articulated on a respective holding surface and can be moved so that they span a common surface. The common area is almost parallel to the ground. As a result, a bearing surface can be formed for further containers, as a result of which the device becomes stackable.
