Definitions
- the invention relates to a rigid transport container, for example a shell case, with at least one carrying handle articulated on an outside, which consists of a handle strip and two end legs and which is articulated parallel to the handle strip on the container side.
- Such rigid transport containers are widely used. They serve as a suitcase, but also to hold high-quality tools and electronic devices.
- the carrying handle (s) are attached approximately centrally to a narrow side and are articulated in such a way that, due to their own weight, they fall over to the narrow side in question as soon as the container is parked.
- the carrying handle protrudes beyond the edge of the case. It then forms a projection, which in many cases is perceived as annoying because the user in question can bump into it or because the bulkiness of the container is increased. This proves not only during transport, but also when opened, especially if the container contains professional equipment that can be used on site in confined spaces with the container open.
- FR-PS 1 460 833 describes different variants of a retractable case handle.
- the legs are articulated transversely to the longitudinal direction of the handle both on the container side and on the handle side.
- the articulation points in the direction of the handle bar either in longitudinal slots within the handle bar or in recesses in the container wall, the carrying handle as a whole can be stretched, flattened and countersunk in a container wall recess.
- the designs require relatively large wall recesses.
- the large number of individual parts required tends to rattle when the vehicle is shaken, which can be uncomfortable.
- the sliding guides have the disadvantage of low lateral stability.
- US-A-3 289 799 describes a carrying handle for portable devices such as radio and television sets, which can be folded together by a movement along the top of the device.
- the legs of the carrying handle each consist of two interconnected sections which are articulated on the device side and on the handle side transversely to the longitudinal direction of the handle bar.
- the handle bar has recesses on its underside, in which the leg sections with joints and brackets are received in the folded state, which is why the handle protrudes relatively far beyond the surface of the device.
- a handle for a women's handbag is known from DE-PS 5 09 972.
- the bracket is fully swiveled into the inside of the bag when not in use. In any case, it is necessary to open the handbag and manipulate the inside of the bag.
- the invention has for its object to provide a transport container of the type mentioned, in which the handle is space-saving and without protruding to the outside, even with a flat container shape, when the transport container is parked or stored, and in which still easy handling the handle is guaranteed.
- the invention has the advantage that the legs of the handle are folded in the rest position and thus shortened in length. Since the lengths of the leg sections are each adapted to the width of the narrow container side in question, it is ensured that the carrying handle is stowed within the dimensions of the narrow side. When it moves, it assumes its stretched position without manipulation of the handle itself or the container.
- both the joint on the container side and the intermediate joint are designed to run smoothly, so that the leg sections automatically assume their folded position in the rest position due to their own weight.
- the joints may be subjected to a predetermined friction which is dimensioned such that they maintain their respective stretched or folded position until the handle is actuated by the user.
- the two leg sections are offset in the axial direction of the intermediate joint and run parallel next to one another in the angled state. In this way a particularly flat arrangement is achieved.
- the carrying handle also does not carry on, even in the case of an ergonomically adapted, thick handle strip, if the grip strip and the associated leg section come to lie in a recess in the narrow side of the container in the angled state.
- a preferred development of the invention consists in that the leg sections on the container side consist of two axially offset arms, between which the section on the handle side is articulated. This has the advantage that the two leg sections can be connected to one another in a particularly stable manner, because twisting and tilting of the intermediate joint is counteracted by the bilateral support of the handle-side section, in particular if the parts of the arms and the handle-side section which are in engagement with one another are designed as guide surfaces are.
- the intermediate joint can be formed in a simple manner in that a pin mounted in the arms is guided through the handle-side section, or in that the handle-side sections are provided with two pins which engage with bearing eyes in the two arms.
- the grip strip and the associated leg sections are formed in one piece.
- a flat and nevertheless stable storage of the two arms on the container side is achieved in that they are articulated on their outer sides in each case to an attachment on the narrow container side are.
- the leg sections on the handle side can thus be pushed completely between the two arms.
- FIG. 1 shows the narrow side 10 of a transport container, which can be a suitcase, the housing of an electrical device or the like, in the region of a carrying handle 11.
- the width of the narrow side 10 is marked with B.
- the carrying handle consists of a handle bar 12 and two end legs 13, 13 ', each consisting of a handle side and a container-side section 14 and 15 respectively.
- the handle-side sections 14 and the handle bar 12 are in one piece, e.g. made of plastic. Since the legs 13, 13 'are each of the same design, only the leg 13 shown on the right is referred to below.
- the handle-side and the container-side sections 14 and 15 are connected to one another via an intermediate joint 16, which allows the two sections 14, 15 to be bent.
- 1 shows the position in which the handle-side and the container-side sections 14, 15 are "folded” and come to lie side by side essentially parallel to the narrow side 10.
- the length of the handle-side and the container-side section 14, 15 is dimensioned in such a way that no part of the carrying handle 11 protrudes beyond the narrow side 10. In the example shown the length of the handle-side section 14 corresponds to the width B of the narrow side 10.
- the container-side section 15, which is articulated approximately centrally in the narrow side 10 via a joint 17, is accordingly only half as long as the handle-side section 14 and extends to the edge the narrow side 10.
- the section 15 on the container side consists of two parallel arms 18, 19 which are arranged at a distance from one another in the axial direction of the joint 17 and the intermediate joint 16.
- the section 14 on the handle side comes to rest between the two arms 18, 19, which are reversed but otherwise of the same design.
- the grip strip 12 is in the illustrated, angled position of the carrying handle 11 with at least one half in a recess 20 in the narrow side 10.
- the two arms 18, 19 are on their outer sides, i.e. on the sides facing away from the handle-side section 14, each articulated to a hump-like extension 21 or 24, which thus belong to the joint 17 on the container side.
- a helical spring 22 is arranged around the associated axis, which is biased in such a way that the arms 18 and 19 are brought into the folded position and held there. In this way, the carrying handle 11 automatically assumes a space-saving position when it is not in use.
- a helical spring 22 is only present on one of the arms 18 or 19.
- leaf springs for example a leaf spring can be assigned to each arm 18, 19, so that a very space-saving construction is achieved.
- a weight measurement can be carried out with the help of the helical spring 22 and a scale 23, which could be attached, for example, to the associated attachment 21, so that the container weight could be read on the scale mentioned in this way. If the handle 11 were to be gripped, the arms 18, 19 would then be unfolded to a greater or lesser extent depending on the container weight, the arms 18, 19 being stretched against the spring force of the helical spring 22. The arm 19 or a mark made thereon (not shown) serves as a pointer in this measurement.
- Fig. 2 illustrates in solid lines the angled rest position of the handle 11 shown in Fig. 1. It also shows in dashed lines the extended position of the handle 11 ', in which the handle and container-side sections 14, 15 stretched perpendicular to the narrow side 10 are.
- the intermediate joints 16 are moved upward and aligned with the container-side joint 17.
- the length of the legs 13, 13 'thus corresponds to the length of the handle and the container-side section 14.15.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen formstarren Transportbehälter, beispielsweise einen Schalenkoffer, mit mindestens einem an einer Außenseite angelenkten Traggriff, der aus einer Griffleiste und zwei endseitigen Schenkeln besteht und der behälterseitig parallel zur Griffleiste angelenkt ist.The invention relates to a rigid transport container, for example a shell case, with at least one carrying handle articulated on an outside, which consists of a handle strip and two end legs and which is articulated parallel to the handle strip on the container side.
Derartige formstarre Transportbehälter sind weit verbreitet. Sie dienen als Reisekoffer, aber auch zur Aufnahme von hochwertigen Werkzeugen und elektronischen Geräten. Der oder die Traggriff(e) sind bekanntlich an einer Schmalseite etwa mittig angebracht und so angelenkt, daß sie aufgrund ihres Eigengewichts auf die betreffende Schmalseite umfallen, sobald der Behälter abgestellt wird. Bei schmalen Koffern ragt dabei der Traggriff über den Kofferrand hinaus. Er bildet dann einen Vorsprung, der in vielen Fällen als störend empfunden wird, weil sich der betreffende Benutzer daran stoßen kann oder weil die Sperrigkeit des Behälters vergrößert wird. Dies erweist sich nicht nur beim Transport, sondern auch in geöffnetem Zustand, insbesondere wenn der Behälter professionelle Geräte enthält, die unter beengten Raumverhältnissen bei geöffnetem Behälter an Ort und Stelle eingesetzt werden.Such rigid transport containers are widely used. They serve as a suitcase, but also to hold high-quality tools and electronic devices. As is known, the carrying handle (s) are attached approximately centrally to a narrow side and are articulated in such a way that, due to their own weight, they fall over to the narrow side in question as soon as the container is parked. In the case of narrow suitcases, the carrying handle protrudes beyond the edge of the case. It then forms a projection, which in many cases is perceived as annoying because the user in question can bump into it or because the bulkiness of the container is increased. This proves not only during transport, but also when opened, especially if the container contains professional equipment that can be used on site in confined spaces with the container open.
Es wurden schon vielfältige Überlegungen angestellt, den Traggriff auf eine Weise anzuordnen, daß er möglichst wenig stört, sobald er außer Funktion ist. In der FR-PS 1 460 833 sind verschiedene Varianten eines versenkbaren Koffergriffs beschrieben. Hierbei sind u.a. die Schenkel quer zur Längsrichtung des Handgriffs sowohl behälterseitig als auch an der Griffseite angelenkt. Durch Verschiebung der Gelenkpunkte in Richtung der Griffleiste entweder in Längsschlitzen innerhalb der Griffleiste oder in Ausnehmungen in der Behälterwand kann der Traggriff insgesamt gestreckt, abgeflacht und in einer Behälterwandausnehmung versenkt werden. Die Ausführungen erfordern relativ große Wandausnehmungen. Außerdem neigt die Vielzahl der erforderlichen Einzelteile dazu, bei Transporterschütterungen zu klappern, was als unangenehm empfunden werden kann. Außerdem haben die Schiebeführungen den Nachteil einer geringen Seitenstabilität.There have been many considerations to arrange the handle in such a way that it disturbs as little as possible as soon as it is out of function. FR-PS 1 460 833 describes different variants of a retractable case handle. Here, the legs are articulated transversely to the longitudinal direction of the handle both on the container side and on the handle side. By moving the articulation points in the direction of the handle bar, either in longitudinal slots within the handle bar or in recesses in the container wall, the carrying handle as a whole can be stretched, flattened and countersunk in a container wall recess. The designs require relatively large wall recesses. In addition, the large number of individual parts required tends to rattle when the vehicle is shaken, which can be uncomfortable. In addition, the sliding guides have the disadvantage of low lateral stability.
In der US-A-3 289 799 ist ein Traggriff für transportable Geräte wie Radio- und Fernsehgeräte beschrieben, der durch eine Bewegung längs zur Geräteoberseite zusammenklappbar ist. Die Schenkel des Traggriffs bestehen jeweils aus zwei miteinander verbundenen Abschnitten, die geräteseitig und griffseitig quer zur Längsrichtung der Griffleiste angelenkt sind. Die Griffleiste weist an ihrer Unterseite Ausnehmungen auf, in die die Schenkelabschnitte mit Gelenken und Halterungen im zusammengeklappten Zustand aufgenommen sind, weshalb der Griff relativ weit über die Geräteoberfläche übersteht.US-A-3 289 799 describes a carrying handle for portable devices such as radio and television sets, which can be folded together by a movement along the top of the device. The legs of the carrying handle each consist of two interconnected sections which are articulated on the device side and on the handle side transversely to the longitudinal direction of the handle bar. The handle bar has recesses on its underside, in which the leg sections with joints and brackets are received in the folded state, which is why the handle protrudes relatively far beyond the surface of the device.
Ferner ist aus der DE-PS 8 45 838 ein versenkbarer, starrer Traggriff zum Anbringen in einem Behälterwandausschnitt bekannt.Furthermore, from DE-PS 8 45 838 a retractable, rigid carrying handle for attachment in a container wall cutout is known.
Ein Handgriff für eine Damenhandtasche ist aus der DE-PS 5 09 972 bekannt. Der Bügel wird hierbei vollständig in das Tascheninnere geschwenkt, wenn er nicht gebraucht wird. Es ist also in jedem Fall ein Öffnen der Handtasche und eine Manipulation im Tascheninneren erforderlich.A handle for a women's handbag is known from DE-PS 5 09 972. The bracket is fully swiveled into the inside of the bag when not in use. In any case, it is necessary to open the handbag and manipulate the inside of the bag.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Transportbehälter der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, bei welchem der Traggriff auch bei einer flachen Behälterform raumsparend und ohne störend nach außen überzustehen, untergebracht ist, wenn der Transportbehälter abgestellt oder abgelegt ist,und bei welchem dennoch eine einfache Handhabung des Traggriffs gewährleistet ist.The invention has for its object to provide a transport container of the type mentioned, in which the handle is space-saving and without protruding to the outside, even with a flat container shape, when the transport container is parked or stored, and in which still easy handling the handle is guaranteed.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merckmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhalfe und zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen sind im den Unterausprüchen enthalten.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Advantageous and expedient refinements are contained in the sub-claims.
Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, daß die Schenkel des Traggriffs in der Ruhestellung quasi zusammengefaltet werden und dadurch in der Länge verkürzt werden. Da die Längen der Schenkelabschnitte jeweils an die Breite der betreffenden Behälterschmalseite angepaßt sind, ist gewährleistet, daß der Traggriff innerhalb der Abmessungen der Schmalseite verstaut ist. Bei Zug nimmt er seine gestreckte Stellung ein, ohne daß Manipulationen am Traggriff selbst oder am Behälter erforderlich sind.The invention has the advantage that the legs of the handle are folded in the rest position and thus shortened in length. Since the lengths of the leg sections are each adapted to the width of the narrow container side in question, it is ensured that the carrying handle is stowed within the dimensions of the narrow side. When it moves, it assumes its stretched position without manipulation of the handle itself or the container.
Grundsätzlich ist es zweckmäßig, daß sowohl das behälterseitige Gelenk als auch das Zwischengelenk leichtgängig ausgeführt sind, so daß die Schenkelabschnitte in der Ruhestellung aufgrund ihres Eigengewichts selbsttätig ihre zusammengefaltete Stellung einnehmen. Es kann jedoch zweckmäßig sein, daß die Gelenke mit einer vorgegebenen Reibung beaufschlagt sind, die so bemessen ist, daß sie ihre jeweilige gestreckte oder gefaltete Stellung beibehalten, bis der Handgriff vom Benutzer betätigt wird. Das hat den Vorteil, daß der Traggriff bei einem kurzzeitigen Abstellen, wie es beispielsweise bei der Reise mit einem Koffer häufig vorkommt, solange griffbereit ist, bis der Behälter abgestellt ist. Durch diese Maßnahme wird auch verhindert, daß bei einer Bewegung Klappergeräusche entstehen.Basically, it is expedient that both the joint on the container side and the intermediate joint are designed to run smoothly, so that the leg sections automatically assume their folded position in the rest position due to their own weight. However, it may be appropriate for the joints to be subjected to a predetermined friction which is dimensioned such that they maintain their respective stretched or folded position until the handle is actuated by the user. This has the advantage that the carrying handle is available at short-term parking, as is often the case, for example, when traveling with a suitcase, until the container is parked. By this measure also prevents rattling noises from occurring during movement.
Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, daß die beiden Schenkelabschnitte in Achsrichtung des Zwischengelenks versetzt sind und im abgewinkelten Zustand parallel nebeneinander verlaufen. Auf diese Weise wird eine besonders flache Anordnung erreicht.It is particularly advantageous that the two leg sections are offset in the axial direction of the intermediate joint and run parallel next to one another in the angled state. In this way a particularly flat arrangement is achieved.
Der Traggriff trägt ferner selbst bei einer ergonomisch angepaßten, dicken Griffleiste nicht auf, wenn die Griffleiste und der zugehörige Schenkelabschnitt im abgewinkelten Zustand in einer Vertiefung in der Behälterschmalseite zu liegen kommen.The carrying handle also does not carry on, even in the case of an ergonomically adapted, thick handle strip, if the grip strip and the associated leg section come to lie in a recess in the narrow side of the container in the angled state.
Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß die behälterseitigen Schenkelabschnitte aus zwei achsversetzten Armen bestehen, zwischen welchen der griffseitige Abschnitt angelenkt ist. Das hat den Vorteil, daß die beiden Schenkelabschnitte besonders stabil miteinander verbunden werden können, weil durch die beidseitige Abstützung des griffseitigen Abschnitts einem Verdrehen und Verkanten des Zwischengelenks entgegengewirkt wird, insbesondere wenn die miteinander in Eingriff stehenden Teile der Arme und des griffseitigen Abschnitts als Führungsflächen ausgebildet sind.A preferred development of the invention consists in that the leg sections on the container side consist of two axially offset arms, between which the section on the handle side is articulated. This has the advantage that the two leg sections can be connected to one another in a particularly stable manner, because twisting and tilting of the intermediate joint is counteracted by the bilateral support of the handle-side section, in particular if the parts of the arms and the handle-side section which are in engagement with one another are designed as guide surfaces are.
Das Zwischengelenk kann auf einfache Weise dadurch gebildet werden, daß ein in den Armen gelagerter Stift durch den griffseitigen Abschnitt geführt ist, oder daß die griffseitigen Abschnitte mit zwei Zapfen versehen sind, die mit Lageraugen in den beiden Armen in Eingriff stehen.The intermediate joint can be formed in a simple manner in that a pin mounted in the arms is guided through the handle-side section, or in that the handle-side sections are provided with two pins which engage with bearing eyes in the two arms.
Hinsichtlich der Stabilität und der Herstellung ist es besonders vorteilhaft, daß die Griffleiste und die zugehörigen Schenkelabschnitte einstückig ausgebildet sind.With regard to stability and manufacture, it is particularly advantageous that the grip strip and the associated leg sections are formed in one piece.
Eine flache und trotzdem stabile behälterseitige Lagerung der beiden Arme wird dadurch erreicht, daß sie an ihren Außenseiten jeweils an einem Ansatz auf der Behälterschmalseite angelenkt sind. Somit können die griffseitigen Schenkelabschnitte vollständig zwischen die beiden Arme geschoben werden.A flat and nevertheless stable storage of the two arms on the container side is achieved in that they are articulated on their outer sides in each case to an attachment on the narrow container side are. The leg sections on the handle side can thus be pushed completely between the two arms.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels weiter beschrieben.
- Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch eine teilweise Draufsicht auf eine Behälterschmalseite mit einem Traggriff in der abgelegten Stellung und
- Fig. 2 zeigt die Konstellation gemäß Fig. 1 in einer Seitenansicht sowie den Traggriff im ausgeschwenkten Zustand (gestrichelt).
- Fig. 1 shows schematically a partial top view of a narrow container side with a handle in the stored position and
- FIG. 2 shows the constellation according to FIG. 1 in a side view and the carrying handle in the pivoted-out state (dashed).
In Fig. 1 ist die Schmalseite 10 eines Transportbehälters, bei welchem es sich um einen Koffer, das Gehäuse eines elektrischen Gerätes oder ähnliches handeln kann, im Bereich eines Traggriffs 11 wiedergegeben. Die Breite der Schmalseite 10 ist mit B gekennzeichnet.1 shows the
Der Traggriff besteht aus einer Griffleiste 12 und zwei endseitigen Schenkeln 13, 13′, die jeweils aus einem griffseitigen und einem behälterseitigen Abschnitt 14 bzw. 15 bestehen. Die griffseitigen Abschnitte 14 und die Griffleiste 12 sind einstückig, z.B. aus Kunststoff ausgebildet. Da die Schenkel 13, 13′ jeweils gleich ausgebildet sind, wird nachfolgend lediglich auf den rechts dargestellten Schenkel 13 Bezug genommen.The carrying handle consists of a
Der griffseitige und der behälterseitige Abschnitt 14 bzw. 15 sind über ein Zwischengelenk 16 miteinander verbunden, welches es gestattet, die beiden Abschnitte 14,15 abzuknicken. Die Fig.1 zeigt diejenige Stellung, in welcher der griffseitige und der behälterseitige Abschnitt 14,15 "gefaltet" sind und im wesentlichen parallel zur Schmalseite 10 nebeneinander zu liegen kommen. Die Länge des griffseitigen und des behälterseitigen Abschnitts 14,15 ist hierbei so bemessen, daß kein Teil des Traggriffs 11 über die Schmalseite 10 übersteht. In dem dargestellten Beispiel entspricht die Länge des griffseitigen Abschnitts 14 der Breite B der Schmalseite 10. Der behälterseitige Abschnitt 15, der etwa mittig in der Schmalseite 10 über ein Gelenk 17 angelenkt ist, ist dementsprechend nur halb so lang wie der griffseitige Abschnitt 14 und reicht bis an den Rand der Schmalseite 10.The handle-side and the container-
Der behälterseitige Abschnitt 15 besteht aus zwei parallelen Armen 18,19, die in Achsrichtung des Gelenks 17 und des Zwischengelenks 16 auf Abstand voneinander angeordnet sind. Zwischen den beiden Armen 18,19, die seitenverkehrt, aber ansonsten gleich ausgebildet sind, kommt der griffseitige Abschnitt 14 zu liegen.The
Die Griffleiste 12 befindet sich in der dargestellten, abgewinkelten Position des Traggriffs 11 zumindest mit einer Hälfte in einer Vertiefung 20 in der Schmalseite 10.The
Die beiden Arme 18,19 sind an ihren Außenseiten, d.h. an den dem griffseitigen Abschnitt 14 abgewandten Seiten,jeweils an einem hökerartigen Ansatz 21 bzw. 24 angelenkt, welche somit zum behälterseitigen Gelenk 17 gehören.The two
Wie anhand eines Teilschnitts eines behälterseitigen Gelenks 17 veranschaulicht ist, ist um die zugehörige Achse herum eine Wendelfeder 22 angeordnet, die in der Weise vorgespannt ist, daß die Arme 18 und 19 in die eingeklappte Stellung gebracht und dort gehalten werden. Auf diese Weise nimmt der Traggriff 11 selbsttätig eine raumsparende Stellung ein, wenn er nicht benutzt wird. Grundsätzlich genügt es, wenn eine Wendelfeder 22 lediglich an einem der Arme 18 bzw. 19 vorhanden ist. Es kann jedoch auch zweckmäßig sein, in beiden Armen 18,19 eine derartige Feder anzuordnen.
Noch zweckmäßiger ist an dieser Stelle der Einsatz von Blattfedern, wobei z.B. jedem Arm 18,19 eine Blattfeder zugeordnet werden kann, so daß eine sehr platzsparende Konstruktion erreicht wird.As illustrated with the aid of a partial section of a
It is even more expedient at this point to use leaf springs, for example a leaf spring can be assigned to each
Darüber hinaus kann mit Hilfe der Wendelfeder 22 und einer Skala 23, die beispielsweise auf dem zugehörigen Ansatz 21 angebracht sein könnten eine Gewichtsmessung durchgeführt werden, so daß auf diese Weise das Behältergewicht an der genannten Skala abgelesen werden könnte. Würde man den Traggriff 11 ergreifen, so würden dann die Arme 18,19 in Abhängigkeit vom Behältergewicht mehr oder weniger stark ausgeklappt, wobei das Strecken der Arme 18,19 gegen die Federkraft der Wendelfeder 22 erfolgen würde. Der Arm 19 bzw. eine darauf angebrachte Markierung (nicht dargestellt) dient bei dieser Messung als Zeiger.In addition, a weight measurement can be carried out with the help of the

Außerdem zeigt sie in gestrichelter Darstellung die ausgezogene Position des Traggriffs 11′, in welcher die griff- und behälterseitigen Abschnitte 14,15 gestreckt senkrecht zur Schmalseite 10 ausgerichtet sind. Die Zwischengelenke 16 sind hierbei nach oben bewegt und fluchten mit dem behälterseitigen Gelenk 17. Die Länge der Schenkel 13, 13′ entspricht somit der Länge des griff- und des behälterseitigen Abschnitts 14,15.Fig. 2 illustrates in solid lines the angled rest position of the
