Description

The The invention relates to a container with lid, the container a container wall with an upper edge region, a container bottom and a container opening and in the edge region of the container opening a circumferential, opposite the container wall radially inwardly projecting frame, on which the lid solvable is fixed, and wherein the frame latching to the edge region of the container opening is fastened, including the frame and the upper edge region of the container wall are provided with cooperating locking means, and wherein the frame a surrounding outdoor area in the form of a downwardly open U-profile, which the upper edge region of the container wall absorbs and which a peripheral wall surrounding the container wall on the outside and an inside web, the cooperating with the container Locking means of the frame are arranged on one of the two webs.

at generic containers with Lid is the frame to which the lid is attached, thus manufactured as a separate component, wherein for closing the container the frame latching to the container edge to attach. Here, if necessary, the lid on the Pre-assembled frame or the lid will only after attachment the frame on the container set on the frame.

Problematic in generic containers, that on the one hand the attachment of the frame to the container very simple and automated by suitable machines, For example, in automatic bottling plants, on the other hand the attachment between container and frame to be very stable. Conventional containers in which the lid is attached to a separate frame, but are usually without Outside Circumferential flange manufactured, as it otherwise in containers of Containers in which the lid is attached directly to the container is often common for stabilizing the upper edge of the container. The fact that the flange is usually omitted in generic containers with frame is the upper tank area relatively flexible, which is often encouraged by the fact that the container edge is provided with areas of lesser material thickness, for example to to allow a locking connection with the frame. This leads to Put the frame, however, that the locking connection between container and frame can not be sufficiently accomplished exactly, so that a manual or in particular mechanical attachment of the frame, for example, by handling machines or robots, difficult or practically impossible is. A stabilization of the upper container wall area by a Outside circumferential flange or by increased material thickness However, due to the then adverse optical design or one then increased Material use often unacceptable. On the other hand, the Locking connection between the frame and container to be very stable, in particular in stackable, filled containers when the frame is spaced radially inward of the container wall forming the stacking surface and thus absorb high forces got to.

Farther should the mounting area between the container and frame on the outside of the container meet high optical requirements, d. H. only minor or preferably no visible transition areas between frame and container.

Of the Invention is the object of a generic container with Lid and latching on the container provide fixed frame, wherein the latching connection between containers and frames also by handling machines and handling robots Easy to do and yet stable.

These Task is by a container solved with the lid and frame according to claim 1, wherein one of the webs a first abutment area, the vertical latching of the Frame with the upper container edge area first under exercise radial forces on this comes to rest, and wherein the opposite web of the frame U-profile one up to the height or below the first investment area extending peripheral area having the first investment area on the opposite Enclosed side of the container wall and / or radial deformations of the container edge due to the radial forces exerted by the first bearing area personnel receives. An "emigration" of the container edge is thereby prevented and the container top edge is the frame U-profile captured so that snapping the frame by robot facilitates is. Here, the first investment area when snapping directly the tank top or a locking means on the upper tank area.

Come Frame and container when snapping the frame first with the locking means together for interaction, so extends to solve the problem of the locking means opposite the frame Bridge of the frame U-profile up to or below the level with the container wall cooperating latching means of the frame towards the container bottom, so that when attaching the frame, an area of this bridge the upper container edge on the opposite of the locking means Side surrounds when or before the latching means of frame and container wall with each other come to interact.

alternative or at the same time, the latching means of the frame opposite Web of the frame U-profile up to or below the web area, the one with the container wall having cooperating locking means of the frame and with the associated locking means of the container when snapping the frame interacts for the first time, itself towards the tank bottom extend so that when fixing the frame, an area of the the locking means opposite Bridge the upper edge of the container the opposite of the locking means Side surrounds when or before the latching means of the container wall with the locking means having web portion of the frame for Interaction come. In both alternatives, the container latching edge can thus directly on the upper edge of the container be arranged.

at the locking connection of the invention container and frame overlaps thus first the Lower edge of one of the webs of the container catching edge receiving frame U-profile the container latch, before a portion of the frame U-profile with the container snap-in rim comes to rest and can deform the upper edge of the container, so that through the lower edge of the bridge a kind of abutment or leadership for the tank top or the upper edge of the container for the further latching operation is provided. This is a snapping the frame also by robots easily and trouble-free possible.

advantageous Embodiments emerge from the subclaims.

Especially For example, the frame may be formed so that first the lower edge of the outside circumferential web of the frame over the upper edge of the container, so that bulging of the container edge radially outward through the overarching Frame web is prevented. The upper container edge is thus radial outwards directed by the radially outside arranged circumferential web of the frame fixed. Only after this positive Fixation of the upper container edge are then advantageously the locking means of the frame and container with each other brought to attack and then by further vertical pressing of the Frame on the container Frame and container wall latched together. Here, a certain deformation of the upper container edge area and / or the frame area, on which the locking means provided are done. Nevertheless, you can the locking means of container and frame virtually automatically and also by machine use be engaged with each other, since the upper edge of the container no longer due to the overarching Rahmensteges opposite the Frame to the outside can dodge. By the possibility An automatic mechanical latching of frame and container, the Containers are particularly easy and economical to handle and fill.

the across from has been found in the course of the present invention that at conventional containers apparently a snapping of the frame on the container thereby that is difficult first the locking means of the frame with the upper container wall inside to the plant come and with further insertion of the frame in the container opening the upper area of the container wall radially outward to press, the upper edge of the container so expand radially. The top edge of the frame surrounding the frame web of the radially outside U-profile of the frame comes then no longer directly into engagement with the associated receiving groove or receiving channel of the upper container wall, but the outer circumferential Frame web sits on the upper edge of the widened container wall and hinders further engagement of the frame to the container. Although can Overall, the locking connection still by a further deformation the radially outer frame portion However, this is a total of a manual or in particular an automatic mechanical attachment of the frame made impossible or is only elevated with Operating problems possible.

The Locking means can radially outside on the container wall be arranged. This allows the closure system of frames and lid made narrower and a demoulding of the frame from an injection mold is relieved. It can here the lid by means of locking means be attached to the frame, wherein a lid inner surface below arranged the zusammenwir Kenden locking means container and frame is. It can also be between the locking fasteners of container and Frame on the one hand and of frame and lid on the other hand at least a downwardly open U-shaped Bead be provided to the connection of lid and frame sufficient to make flexible, to solve the lid to facilitate and on the other hand opening means for the lid or a tamper-evident closure provide.

Preferably are the locking means on the container top only on the outside or arranged only on the inside.

Advantageously, the locking means of frame and container are arranged radially on the inside of the container wall. As a result, we surprisingly a detachment of the frame, for. B. by tensile forces, difficult. The cover may be fastened to the frame by means of latching means, the latching means and / or an inner cover surface being at least in can be arranged approximately at the level of the cooperating locking means container and frame, for example in the range of 2 to 3 times the height of the cooperating locking means of the frame and container or 2 to 3 times the height of a constriction of the container wall in the upper edge of the container.

To a preferred embodiment the outside circumferential ridge of the frame U-profile no locking means on, this are arranged on the radially inner web of the frame. The radial outside of the frame or the outside lying bridge can then be optimally smooth and without optical defects be made to a highest optical appearance corresponding appearance of the container result. This is attributed to that the radially outside Especially, the cooperating areas of the container wall and the frame are particularly accurately can be produced, as here further profiling such as are dispensable by locking lugs or by locking receptacles. Starting from the subject invention, this is attributed to the fact that the outside umlau fende Web of the frame is particularly accurate to produce and in particular also sink marks or material irregularities of the preferably manufactured as plastic components frame and container, for example also due to uneven material shrinkage, Sink marks and the like, which can be avoided almost completely. This especially if containers and frames are manufactured by injection molding.

Further It is advantageous if the outside circumferential web of the frame pulled relatively far down is, namely preferably over the locking means of frame and container addition. The upper edge area of the container can then be made visually uniform. Farther was also found that then, if you catch connection of container and frame on the container inner wall is arranged, these against external forces, for example Bumps up the container top edge, as they can occur even with falling containers, very can withstand good, because on the one hand the latching connection to the container inner wall is arranged, on the other hand, a unlatching due to the outside circumferential web of the frame, which at the level of the locking means of the frame and / or containers can be arranged or over these out to the tank bottom can be drawn, is significantly stabilized.

Preferably extends the circumferential bridge of the frame up to or below the one with the container wall cooperating locking means of the frame towards the container bottom out. The locking connection between the container and the frame is thereby particularly stabilized and also a locking of the frame to the container by vertical impressions of the frame into the container opening facilitated.

Of the the container catch means carrying upper tank edge area can have a radial constriction, that of the latching means receiving area for the corresponding latching edge is different from the frame, but can connect directly to this. Of the locking means of the frame opposite web or optionally also the frame latching means having web can at the height of the constriction the container wall abutment, preferably laterally abut against this. The locking means the frame opposite web of the frame U-profile can until under the locking means of the frame or below the locking connection be pulled down. The opposite of the locking means of the frame The bridge of the frame U-profile can with its lower end the container wall below the constriction surrounded and alternatively or preferably additionally also below the constriction the container wall abutment, wherein the plant preferably on the container outer wall he follows. This constriction is from the locking means receiving the container wall for the locking means of the frame different, the constriction However, if necessary, can go into this locking agent recording. Because the bridge is pulled down below the constriction, is the placement of the frame and the frame guide improved.

It can also the container latching means carrying upper tank edge area a radial constriction have, wherein the latching means of the frame facing web of the frame U-profile with its lower end region surrounds the container wall below the constriction.

Preferably, the constriction is disposed on the container wall side, which is opposite the container detent means, preferably at the level and / or below the container wall detent means. In this way, a portion of a web of the frame U-profile engage in the constriction, which surprisingly despite the then occurring material weakening due to the mutual engagement of the frame and container a connection area is created, which high forces from different directions, especially from radial or oblique Direction, can record, even when opening the lid, at the same time the container edge with low cycle times during injection molding and can be produced with high accuracy. Furthermore, the web can rest against the container wall at the level of the constriction, preferably radially on the outside, so that the frame U-profile on the container edge below the Rastmit tel radially inwardly and outwardly rests and so a particularly stable latching connection is formed.

Of the radially outside arranged web of the frame U-profile, the container wall below the constriction or outside the frame latching means on the outside, in particular at radially outside on the container wall arranged constriction.

Preferably has the radially outside lying web of the frame U-profile an upper and / or lower Abgleitschräge, so that tilting of containers prevented during transport or palletizing.

immediate below the locking means of the frame on the inside of the container facing side of the container wall Can between frame and container wall a over the circumferential extent of the locking means extending free space remain. Of the Freiraum can also be fully around the container extend. On the one hand a certain flexibility of the upper container edge achieved, which facilitates a latching of the frame and container. Furthermore you can As a result, certain manufacturing tolerances on the locking means be caught the free space, so that even with certain manufacturing tolerances always a proper locking connection is present and also ensures that the outside circumferential web of the frame is optimally located in its desired position, for example, outside flush with the container wall concludes and / or with its lower edge of the bar flush and free of play on one Paragraph of the container outer wall seated, leaving a continuous and visually perfect container outer wall provided in the area of the connection between frame and container becomes.

Of the Free space between frame and container wall below the locking means can at least partially or completely a radially recessed Area of the container wall be formed. A latching of frame and container will This surprisingly relieved and the flexibility of the upper container rim area something increased, being still a very stable and durable latching connection can be produced.

Preferably includes the radial outside of the web in the radial direction flush with the container wall so that in the upper container edge area a smooth container outer wall can be generated. Preferably, the container wall is in the upper edge region or in total without radially outwardly projecting stiffening ribs or peripheral container flange, which optionally radially outwards and vertically downwards can extend trained. The container wall can thereby in particularly high optical quality be prepared and over the entire height the container wall For example, be printed, for example, in the in-mold labeling method. Optionally, in this case also the transition region between the outer circumferential Bridge of the frame and the container wall be printed, which due to the high optical quality of the connection area between frame and container of the container according to the invention possible becomes. Preferably, the container on its outside apart from fasteners for attaching a carrying handle and / or optionally a paragraph in the container wall no further structuring on.

Of the circumferential web of the frame is preferably located with its lower edge on a heel of the container outer wall on, preferably full and / or over its axial extent, so that the connection area of frame and containers especially dense and with high optical quality can be produced. Preferably, the outer circumferential web of the frame lies over his entire height on the outside the upper edge of the container, which of the outside U-profile of the frame is added to. This may if necessary be given except for a chamfer of the upper edge of the container.

To an embodiment can the frame below the locking means to frame and / or container wall sealingly against the inside of the container wall, whereby an additional one Sealing area is created.

To another preferred embodiment is the frame below the locking means on frame and / or container wall from the inside of the container wall slight spaced. The container interior can thus optionally immediately below the latching means of the Frame provided space between the container wall and frame extend. It has been found that this still remains a sufficient dense connection between frame and container is present, on the other hand a latching of the frame with the container thereby facilitated especially if the locking is automatic. Possibly can in the free space between container wall and Frame also be inserted separate sealant or the free space be at least partially filled by a sealant, which permanently with the container wall and / or may be connected to the frame, for example by injection molding in 2-component spraying, although this is not always necessary is.

The radially outwardly arranged circumferential web of the frame can thus below the locking means of the container wall over the entire vertical extension up to the lower edge of the web sealingly against the container wall.

Farther Preferably, the lid is attached to the frame such that this by levering manually or by means of a suitable tool removable from the frame. For this purpose, the lid and frame through suitable locking means to be interconnected. The locking connection between Frame and lid may be formed such that the tool for levering or unlatching the lid as a reversion to the frame can be applied. In the Aufhebelvorgang thus a pressure on the Frame in the vertical direction and / or in the direction of the container wall exercised. This deforms the frame to a certain extent. It has been found that the locking connection according to the invention between Frame and container can withstand such loads particularly well without Leaks in the connection area between frame and container too fear or the snap connection between frame and container too only partially solved becomes. This is attributed to that through the inside of the container wall arranged latching connection, which, however, at the same time radially on the outside is secured by the peripheral web of the frame, a snap-in connection is created, which such stresses particularly well can withstand. Both a release the locking connection as well as a jumping out of the upper container edge from the receptacle of the frame, which may be formed as a U-profile can or even a deformation of the outer frame portion, in which Frame radially of the container wall outward would project can thereby reliable be prevented.

Generally can the frame as Aufstapelfläche for one to be stacked container serve. The stacked container can sit directly on an area of the frame or, if necessary on an area of the lid which is supported by a frame area, wherein the lid at least substantially radially on the container wall is spaced, so that the lid is supported by the frame.

Of the container can generally be designed as a bucket or can.

The Invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment and explained with reference to the drawing. Show it:

1 to 4 Cross-sectional views of the edge region of a container according to the invention with lid and frame according to four different embodiments.

After the figure is the container 1 with a lid 10 closed, wherein the container is a container wall 2 with an upper edge area 3 and a container top edge 4 and a container bottom 5 having. At the container wall 2 is an outwardly projecting fastener 6 provided for example in the form of a pin for fixing a support bracket, which may be the only radial projection of the container. The container wall 2 can be a paragraph 7 so that the upper portion of the container wall protrudes radially outward, preferably, the radial width of the shoulder is less than 2 to 3 or 1 times the container wall thickness. Paragraph 7 can be designed so that it is essentially only across the width of the fastener 6 extends.

In the container opening 1a is a circumferential, opposite the vessel wall 2 radially inwardly projecting frame 20 arranged on which the lid 10 is releasably attached. For this purpose, locking means are on the frame and lid 11 . 21 provided, if appropriate, however, the cover can also be releasably fastened to the frame in another way, for example by means of a screwed or clamped connection. The frame 20 is at the edge area 3 the container opening or the container latching fastened. For this purpose, the frame 20 and the upper edge area 3 the container wall cooperating locking means 8th . 22 on, with the locking means 8th the container wall and / or the locking means 22 of the frame can each be designed as a circumferential locking edge. The frame also has a surrounding outdoor area 23 in the form of a downwardly open U-profile, which is the upper edge region of the container wall or the upper edge of the container 4 absorbs and which a peripheral wall surrounding the container wall on the outside 24 , a middle, preferably at least substantially horizontal area 25 and an umlau fenden edge extending on the inside of the container wall below 26 having. At the inner edge 26 , preferably below the locking means 22 , particularly preferably at the bottom of the edge 26 , is an area 27 formed of the frame which extends radially inwardly and in the fastening means or latching means 21 goes to the holder of the lid.

According to the invention, the circumferential web extends 24 of the frame 20 over the locking means 8th on the container wall out in the direction of the container bottom 5 out. When attaching the frame, the upper edge of the container 3 or the upper edge of the container 4 thus first of a lower edge 24a surrounded by the circumferential ridge on the outside, before the locking means of the frame and container wall 8th . 22 to interact in a restraining manner. The upper edge of the container is thereby from the outside circumferential web 24 received radially outward when the locking means 8th . 22 come to rest on the container wall and frame to each other, especially if they snap over each other, so that then the greatest deformation forces on the frame and container wall in training the latching connection are exercised. Optionally, this can also be done on the outside circumferential web 24 further inwardly projecting locking means may be provided, which optionally cooperate with the outside of the container wall arranged locking means which below the arranged on the container inner wall locking means 22 are arranged. Preferably, such further latching or fastening means on the circumferential ridge 24 or the upper container edge receiving U-profile of the frame, however, not provided.

The jetty 24 thus extends to below the locking means 22 of the frame 20 , which with the locking means 8th interact with the tank wall inside, to the tank bottom 5 out. The vertical distance of the lower edge of the web to the lower portion of the locking means 8th the container wall inside may be in the range of 0.5 or more container wall thicknesses, for example in the range of up to 5 or to 1 or 3, preferably in the range of 1 to 2 container wall thicknesses. The container top edge 4 can radially inward and / or radially outward, each with a chamfer 4a . 4b be provided. When placing the frame on the container thus comes first the snap edge 22 of the frame with the top of the latching rim 8th the container for attack, in which case the radially outer web of the upper edge of the container receiving U-profile of the frame is arranged on the outside of said abutment region and pulled beyond the latter to the container bottom down.

Below the locking means 22 of the frame, preferably immediately below it, is on the inside of the container 1c facing side 2a the container wall 2 between frames 20 and container wall 2 a free space 28 intended. The free space is here essentially in the container wall 2 brought in. The free space can be over the circumferential extent of the locking means 8th . 22 extend to frame and / or container, preferably over the entire container circumference. Through this space 28 is below the locking means 22 the frame given a receiving space, so that even with manufacturing tolerances of the locking means 8th . 22 always a secure locking takes place. The free space is here so by the radially recessed area 2 B the container wall formed.

Below the locking means 22 of the frame can this with the area 29 sealing on the inside 2a the container wall 2a abutment, according to the embodiment, the below the locking means 21 the frame arranged area 29 slightly in the radial direction of the container inside 2a spaced. The open space 28 is thus in connection with the container interior 1b , As a result, a placement and snapping the frame on the container is facilitated in particular by machines. If necessary, in the area of the free space 28 and / or in the area of the lower area 29 the frame more sealant 31 or otherwise structuring the container inside be arranged, which may be connected to the container wall, for example, may be formed on this, for example in the multi-component injection molding process.

The surrounding jetty 24 of the frame thus overlaps the upper edge of the container to below the locking means 21 of the frame. The jetty 24 lies with its inside sealing on the outside of the container 32 on, preferably over the entire height of the bridge 24 except for any chamfering on the outside 4a the container top edge. Furthermore, the jetty 24 from an outside constriction 33 taken up of the upper edge region of the container wall. The outside 24b of the footbridge 24 can thus be flush and play free with the outside 2c complete the container wall. The lower edge 24a of the footbridge 24 can on top of the arranged on the outside of the container wall paragraph 34 seated, optionally under a certain bias or substantially without bias.

The frame, for example, the area between the circumferential ridge 39 and the jetty 26 in which radial ribs may also be arranged, the stacking and supporting surface may provide for a stacked container.

Preferably, on the frame 20 an investment area 35 provided for a tool, which with a workspace to the assigned attack area 36 can be applied to the lid, so that the lid can be solved or levered by the tool or, if appropriate, manually from the frame. The tool contact area of the cover can be in the vertical direction below the locking means 8th . 22 be arranged by frame and / or container, the tool contact area of the frame at least approximately at the level of the locking means 8th . 22 be arranged by container and / or frame, for example, above the locking means 8th . 22 container and / or frame. The section 38 , which can be molded on the lid or on the frame, can serve as a tear-off in the sense of a tamper-evident closure.

Both 2 to 4 are the same features as in the embodiment according to 1 provided with the same reference numerals.

According to the embodiment according to 2 is the beach 8th of the container disposed on the outside thereof. Below the Behälterrastrandes closes a receiving space for the preferably circumferential locking edge 22 of the frame 20 at which down to a constriction 41 the upper container edge connects. The radially outer web 24 of the container top edge receiving U-profile of the frame 20 is now wearing the Rastrand here 22 , The jetty 24 lies with its underside free of play on the heel 34 the upper tank area and closes the outside flush with the container outer surface. When placing the frame thus first emerges the radially inner leg 26 of the upper edge of the container receiving U-profile of the frame in the container opening 1a, so that the lower portion 29 the at least substantially vertically extending web 26 is arranged at the level of the container latching edge. At the bottom 29 closes another frame area 27 which may be substantially horizontal or oblique or curved. Only with further immersion of the frame in the container then the snap edge 22 on the outside jetty 24 the U-profile of the frame with the top of the container latching edge to the plant. To thread the container top edge 4 to facilitate in the U-shaped receptacle of the frame is provided with the locking edge outer frame web with an internal chamfer or indentation at the level of the indentation 41 Mistake. When snapping the frame, the container latching edge is then already taken up by the U-profile of the frame and can optionally be supported radially inwardly from the inner web of the frame U-profile. The outer side of the inner web of the frame U-profile can each represent at the same time a sealing region relative to the container inner wall.

The 3 and 4 show modifications of the embodiments according to the 1 and 2 , The modification consists in each case that the outer web 24 the frame U-profile on the outer shoulder of the container wall, which below the Behälterrastrandes 8th is arranged, pulled down and this is the outside 51 the container wall covered. Instead of the paragraph, a bevel or slightly sloping down transition area may be provided. The drawn down area 52 of the web can rest here on the outside of the container wall. As a result, the latching connection of container and frame is further stabilized and unlatching forces on the latching connection is difficult. In particular, thereby an automated latching of the frame is facilitated on the container, since the radially outer web with its lower edge 53 pulled further down than the lower section 29 the at least substantially vertically extending web 26 of the frame U-profile on the inside of the container. If the frame is placed slightly tilted on the container, so can first the lower section 29 of the inner bridge 26 with the container top edge 4 or the container catcher rim 8th to the plant. The frame may then undesirably continue to tilt relative to the container. As a result, the upper edge of the container can be pressed radially outward, which in conventional containers leads to a complicated latching connection or, if appropriate, a latching connection is no longer used for training. In the arrangement according to the invention, however, the lower portion 52 . 53 of the outer bridge 24 of the frame U-profile below the bottom 29 of the container inner wall opposite vertical web 26 arranged, whereby a widening of the container is reduced or at least the upper edge of the container is already captured in the U-profile of the frame, when the frame is pressed down when placing down. The outside jetty 24 the frame U-profile can hereby on its inside a slope 56 have, which the upper edge of the container 4 rises and thus can serve as Abgleitschräge with respect to the upper edge of the container when placing the frame. The lower region of the inner web is in each case arranged at a vertical height between the lower edge and the sliding slope of the outer web.

Furthermore, the radially outer web 24 the frame U-profile on the outside an upper and a lower Abgleitschräge 57 . 58 on, which merge into each other. The transition area 59 is at least approximately at the level of the lower end portion of the outer Behälterrandeinschnürung 33 or at least approximately at the level of the radially outer paragraph 34 arranged the container wall. The transition area 59 is approximately at or above the lower end region 29 of the internal bridge 26 arranged the frame U-profile and / or approximately at the level of or below the cooperating with the container wall locking edge of the frame. As a result, a tilting of juxtaposed containers during transport or palletizing is prevented and at the same time reinforced the locking connection between the frame and container and further protected against external forces.
