Description

The The invention relates to a device for storing and / or transporting of brakes, in particular commercial vehicle disc brakes, with a floor and two side boundaries that are pivotal and at least two operating positions, namely a working position in which they together with the floor a room for the brakes limit, and a rest position in the they are folded inwards.

Devices of the above type are known, for example from the DE 10 2004 023 018 A1 , Although the known storage and transport devices are stackable in the rest position with folded side boundaries, but offer no security in the stacked state against lateral displacement. As a result, there is a risk that a stack of the known devices laterally slip, if one bumps against it. It may even be that the stack after lateral displacement is so unstable that it falls over.

The DE 203 14 434 U1 also shows a device for storing and / or transporting brakes. In this case, intermediate floors are pivotable to simplify the loading and unloading. In contrast, side boundaries can not be folded, which is why the volume of the device is the same in an empty and in a fitted state.

The invention is based on the object, from the DE 10 2004 023 018 A1 Known device to improve insofar as a generation of a stable stack of empty and folded devices is possible.

According to the invention the task posed by plug-in devices for holding the page boundaries in the working position and to hold a stacked on the device further device when folded Page boundaries solved.

With In other words plug-in devices are used, the two Serve purposes. For one thing, they serve to hold the page boundaries in the working position, eliminating the page boundaries are secured in their position. On the other hand, the plug-in coupling devices serve for Holding a stacked on the device further device then, when the page boundaries are collapsed, d. H. in empty Status. In that the plug-in devices on holding the device piled up another device gets a stack of empty devices with folded side boundaries the required lateral stability, so that he even if it is pushed from the side becomes.

Thereby that the plug-in devices two different Serve purposes, is the inventive Storage and / or transport device mechanically particularly simple designed.

According to the invention preferred has at least one plug-in coupling on a recording, in which both a pin of a side boundary and a pin the further device to be stacked on it fits.

With In other words, the plug coupling device serves as a socket in the a pin of a side boundary or a pin of another Device plug-in is inserted. Of course Also, the mechanical reversal is conceivable, after which the inclusion of the side boundary and formed on the other device is, whereas the plug coupling device designed pin or plug-like is.

Further preferred are hinge connections for pivotal holding the side boundaries provided at the bottom, wherein the hinge connections Have pivot axes, each guided in a slot are.

The Hinge connection again serves two purposes. she serves namely on the one hand, the pivotability of the respective Page boundary. On the other hand, it serves by means of the slot to, a To ensure adjustability in the axial direction of the plug-in device so that the plug-in coupling can be established or solved.

To a further preferred embodiment of the invention have the side boundaries each plug-in devices to Holding a stacked on the device further device in the working position.

With In other words, the inventive Devices stacked on each other in the working position be, in turn, because of the plug-in devices against Page shifts are stable.

According to the invention further preferably serve stops for limiting the Pivoting range of the page boundaries.

such Stops are mechanically very easy to implement.

To a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention feet are provided at the bottom of the bed.

Thereby provided on the bottom bottom means for coupling with the Plug-in devices, so for example cones, are protected from adverse effects. By the feet, for example, under the floor clearance for a gripping means of a lifting device (lift truck) can be created.

Prefers is on at least one side cover an elastic stop intended for noise reduction.

Particularly according to the invention Preferably, the device for storing and / or transporting Brakes a shell for holding at least one brake in the space defined by the floor and side boundaries.

With In other words, the shell serves to hold the brake held by it in lateral or horizontal direction against shifting to secure.

Prefers serve lateral stops on the ground for holding the Bowl.

The lateral stops have according to the invention further preferably at least one angle and / or at least one bar on.

These Embodiments are in turn mechanically particularly easy to implement.

Especially then if the side stops have an angle, it is particularly preferred according to the invention that the Shell has a stop corresponding to the angle.

The Combination of angle and stop causes a self-centering the shell when laying on the ground.

The Shell is further preferred according to the invention at least on one side (top or bottom) one of the outer contour at least one brake at least partially corresponding contour on.

With In other words, the shell holds the brake form-fitting against lateral (horizontal) shifting and / or against tilting.

According to the invention further Preferably, the shell has on both sides of the outer contour at least one brake at least partially corresponding contour.

at This embodiment holds the below a stored on it Brake arranged cup the brake against lateral (horizontal) Moving and tilting while on the brake launched another shell in turn from the covered with the shell brake is held against lateral displacement and / or tilting. It will So formed a self-stabilizing stack.

Further preferably both sides of the shell, so the upper and the Bottom, the same contour.

Thereby the shells are also stackable, again with the stack self-stabilizing. The stackability results in savings of Storage and transport room.

According to the invention further Preferably, it is provided that the shell is a dimensionally stable Plastic film has.

After all The invention also provides the shell of one described in detail above Device for storing and / or transporting brakes.

in the The following is the invention with reference to a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings with further details explained in more detail. Show

2 the device according to claim 1 in the unfolded state,

3 the device after 1 with an associated holding cup,

4 the device after 1 with two holders,

5 the device after 1 in loaded condition and

6 a stack of five empty devices behind 1 ,

To the illustrated in the drawing device for storing and / or transporting brakes include a floor 10 and two page boundaries 12 . 14 , On a surface 13 the page boundary 12 For example, a panel of information can be attached. The floor has four or more feet, two of which are in 1 with the reference numbers 16 . 18 are designated. At the four corners of the floor 10 are pillars 20 . 22 . 24 . 26 mounted, which serve as plug-in devices. They are in fact at their upper end, each with a recording 28 . 30 . 32 . 34 Mistake. In the shots fit pins 36 . 38 . 40 . 42 at the side boundaries 12 . 14 are formed. Furthermore, fit in the recordings 28 . 30 . 32 . 34 Cones at un the end of the columns 20 . 22 . 24 . 26 of which in 1 two with the reference numbers 44 . 46 are designated. The function of the pins 44 . 46 is explained below. Height and position of the feet 16 . 18 are chosen such that lifting means can engage under the ground from all four sides, without affecting the pin 28 . 30 . 32 . 34 entry. Also, the said pins do not touch the earth.

Like a synopsis of 1 and 2 shows are the two side boundaries 12 . 14 foldable, so that it is a rest position ( 1 ) and an employment position ( 2 ) can take. There are two hinges each. The cones 48 . 50 . 52 . 54 The hinges are in oblong holes for this purpose 56 . 58 . 60 . 62 at the columns 20 . 22 . 24 . 26 guided.

For example, the page boundary 12 from the rest position to 1 into the working position 2 To spend, it is raised and at the same time pivoted outwards until it is vertical and the pins 48 and 52 in the upper part of the oblong holes 56 and 60 are located. In this condition it is lowered, so that the pins 36 and 40 in the recordings 28 and 32 reach.

To prevent the page boundaries 12 . 14 Too far outward are stops 64 . 66 intended. On the inside of the side borders 12 and 14 are each rubber buffers 68 . 70 . 72 . 74 appropriate. They serve to reduce or eliminate the noise when folding and when transporting empty pertinent devices.
