Description

The present invention relates to a device for transporting and / or storing piece goods, in the interior of which a compartment or pocket system for receiving the piece goods and in the bottom area of which a flatly extending floor element is provided.

For example, in the supply, automotive and electrical industries are often very shock-sensitive components and semi-finished products, high-quality industrial parts and components with sensitive surface to transport. It always comes back to damage due to unpredictable vibrations or shocks. Therefore, there is a need for reusable transport and storage systems that reduce these dynamic and highly dynamic loads.

Devices of the type mentioned are suitable for the transport of a wide variety of cargo and find particular in the transport of high-quality and shock-sensitive cargo at the same time. They also have the advantage that less or no packaging material is produced during the transport of the piece goods and therefore does not have to be disposed of.

During the transport of general cargo, the capacity of these devices should be as large as possible. However, if the piece goods unloaded, it is advantageous if the volume of the transport devices can be greatly reduced, for example by folding, so that only little space must be provided for the return transport of these devices.

A device of the type mentioned is for example from the document EP 2 014 578 A1 known. The known device is designed in the form of an open-topped box. The box has a bottom element with a closed bottom plate and vertically extending from the bottom plate vertical sections on which vertically erected, also plate-shaped side walls are pivotally mounted. The sidewalls can be folded inward to assemble the box by this procedure. In the collapsed state, the side walls then rest on the base plate or parallel to the base surface of the base plate and can also overlap here.

On the inner sides of two opposing side walls strip-shaped, almost over the entire height of the side wall extending support members are mounted, on which recesses are provided, in which the ends of support rods can be used. On the support bars a flexible compartment structure is suspended by means of loops and clamped inside the box. The flexible compartment structure may consist of several horizontal or vertical webs which are sewn together, welded together or glued together and which define a plurality of either side or top open compartments into which cargo for transport can be inserted.

To those in the publication EP 2 014 578 A1 described transport and storage device z. B. to fold up for the return transport, the support rods must first be posted from the receiving elements. Then the loops must be removed from the rods and folded the flexible compartment structure at a suitable location and housed. Only then is it possible to fold the side walls of the box inwards, into the inner volume of the box. This procedure is very time consuming. Likewise, the re-erecting of the box for their reuse is associated with a corresponding expenditure of time.

Further disadvantages of the document EP 2 014 578 A1 known device are their relatively large weight and their shock sensitivity.

The publication US 4,921,100 B includes a transport system for a damage-free transport of car doors. For this purpose, a frame-like structure is used.
