Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Aufbewahrungsbox gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a storage box according to the preamble of claim 1.

Solche Aufbewahrungsboxen werden verwendet, um Kleinteile, wie beispielsweise Schreibwaren oder CDs, aufzubewahren. Sie weisen einen Boden auf sowie sich vom Boden aus erstreckende Seitenwände und Stirnwände, die einen Aufbewahrungsraum umschließen. Die Seitenwände und die Stirnwände sind gelenkig mit dem Boden verbunden, so dass sie zum Transport der leeren Aufbewahrungsbox umgeklappt werden können, so dass die Box platzsparend transportiert werden kann. Vor dem Gebrauch werden die Seitenwände und die Stirnwände aufgerichtet und mittels Druckknöpfen miteinander verbunden. Zu diesem Zweck sind Seitenlaschen an den Seitenwänden gelenkig befestigt, die die ersten Hälften der Druckknöpfe tragen und auf einer Außenseite der benachbarten Stirnwand diese teilweise überdeckend anliegen. An den Stirnwänden sind die zweiten Hälften der Druckknöpfe angeordnet, so dass die Stirnwände und die Seitenwände über die Druckknopfverbindung der Stirnwände mit den Seitenlaschen lösbar verbunden werden können. Eine solche Aufbewahrungsbox ist aus der GB 107 068 A bekannt. Eine weitere Box mit Druckknopfverbindungen ist aus der DE 2538102 bekannt.Such storage boxes are used to store small items such as stationery or CDs. They have a bottom and extending from the bottom side walls and end walls, which enclose a storage space. The side walls and the end walls are hinged to the floor, so that they can be folded to transport the empty storage box, so that the box can be transported to save space. Before use, the side walls and the end walls are erected and connected by means of snaps. For this purpose, side flaps are hinged to the side walls, which carry the first halves of the push buttons and on an outer side of the adjacent end wall abut these partially overlapping. At the end walls, the second halves of the push buttons are arranged so that the end walls and the side walls can be releasably connected via the push-button connection of the end walls with the side flaps. Such a storage box is from the GB 107 068 A known. Another box with push button connections is from the DE 2538102 known.

Die bekannten Aufbewahrungsboxen haben sich im täglichen Gebrauch aufgrund der Möglichkeit, sie im entleerten Zustand platzsparend transportieren zu können, als sehr praktisch erwiesen. Die Druckknopfverbindungen sind jedoch nicht hinreichend stabil, um den Kräften standhalten zu können, wenn von außen gegen die Stirnwand gedrückt wird. Für eine Verwendung nach Art einer Schublade, bei der die Aufbewahrungsboxen aus einem Fach gezogen und wieder in das Fach zurückgeschoben werden, sind sie daher nur bedingt geeignet.The well-known storage boxes have proven to be very convenient in everyday use due to the possibility of being able to save space in the deflated state. However, the push button connections are not sufficiently stable to withstand the forces when pressed against the end wall from the outside. For use in the manner of a drawer, in which the storage boxes are pulled out of a compartment and pushed back into the compartment, they are therefore only conditionally suitable.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Aufbewahrungsbox der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass sie stabiler ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a storage box of the type mentioned in such a way that it is more stable.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Aufbewahrungsbox mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by a storage box with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, die Verbindung zwischen den Stirnwänden und den Seitenwänden dadurch zu verstärken, dass eine beidseitige Verbindung geschaffen wird. Zum einen liegen die Seitenlaschen mit ihrer ersten Seite an der Stirnwand an und sind mit dieser über eine erste Druckknopfverbindung verbunden. Zum anderen ist die mit der Stirnwand verbundene Stirnlasche um die Oberkanten der Seitenlaschen herumgeführt und liegt an der zweiten Seite der jeweiligen Seitenlasche an und ist dort mit dieser mittels einer zweiten Druckknopfverbindung verbunden. Diese doppelte Verbindung ist sowohl gegenüber auf die Stirnwand wirkenden Zugals auch Druckkräften stabil.The invention is based on the idea to strengthen the connection between the end walls and the side walls in that a two-sided connection is created. First, the side flaps abut with their first side on the end wall and are connected thereto via a first push-button connection. On the other hand, the end flap connected to the end wall is guided around the upper edges of the side flaps and abuts against the second side of the respective side flap and is connected thereto by means of a second push-button connection. This double connection is stable both over the end wall acting tensile and compressive forces.

Zweckmäßig werden der Boden, die Seitenwände, die Stirnwände, die Seitenlaschen und die mindestens eine Stirnlasche aus einem Bogen aus Flachmaterial gebildet. Dabei wird bevorzugt, dass zumindest die gelenkigen Verbindungen zwischen den Stirnwänden und den Stirnlaschen Materialschwächungen im Flachmaterialbogen sind. Der Flachmaterialbogen ist vorzugsweise mehrlagig aufgebaut mit steifen oder halbsteifen Verstärkungsplatten, wobei die Verstärkungsplatten im Bereich der gelenkigen Verbindungen im Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind. Die Verstärkungsplatten sind zwischen zwei Lagen eines faltbaren Materials aufgenommen. Die Verstärkungsplatten verleihen dem Boden, den Seitenwänden und den Stirnwänden sowie den Seitenlaschen und den Stirnlaschen ausreichende Stabilität, um einerseits das Gewicht der aufgenommenen Gegenstände tragen zu können und andererseits ein aufrechtes Stehen der Aufbewahrungsbox sowie eine hinreichend stabile Verbindung zwischen den Seitenwänden und den Stirnwänden zu erzielen.The bottom, the side walls, the end walls, the side flaps and the at least one end flap are expediently formed from a sheet of flat material. It is preferred that at least the hinged connections between the end walls and the end tabs are material weakenings in the flat material sheet. The sheet of flat material is preferably constructed in multiple layers with rigid or semi-rigid reinforcing plates, wherein the reinforcing plates in the region of the articulated connections are spaced apart. The reinforcing plates are received between two layers of a foldable material. The reinforcing plates give the floor, the side walls and the end walls and the side flaps and the end tabs sufficient stability, on the one hand to carry the weight of the recorded items can and on the other hand to achieve an upright standing of the storage box and a sufficiently stable connection between the side walls and the end walls.

Es ist möglich, die Seitenlaschen an der dem Aufbewahrungsraum abgewandten Außenseite der jeweiligen Stirnwand zu befestigen sowie die zugehörige Stirnlasche an den Außenseiten der Seitenlaschen zu befestigen. Es wird jedoch als unter Designgesichtspunkten ansprechender angesehen, wenn die Seitenlaschen an der Innenseite der jeweiligen Stirnwand anliegen und die zugehörige Stirnlasche an den Innenseiten der Seitenlaschen anliegt. Von außen sind dann weder die Seitenlaschen noch die Stirnlasche sichtbar. Zweckmäßig ist der zweite Druckknopf in größerem Abstand zum Boden angeordnet ist als der erste Druckknopf. Der zweite Druckknopf ist dann ebenfalls von außen nicht sichtbar.It is possible to fasten the side flaps to the outside of the respective end wall facing away from the storage space and to fasten the associated end flap to the outer sides of the side flaps. However, it is considered to be more appealing from a design point of view if the side flaps lie against the inside of the respective end wall and the associated end flap rests against the insides of the side flaps. From the outside, neither the side flaps nor the front flap are visible. Conveniently, the second push button is located at a greater distance to the ground than the first push button. The second push button is then also not visible from the outside.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung weist die Aufbewahrungsbox einen abnehmbaren Deckel mit einer den Aufbewahrungsraum überdeckenden Deckenwand und einem an den Außenseiten der Seitenwände und der Stirnwände anliegenden umlaufenden Rand auf. Der Deckel dient einerseits zum Verschließen der Aufbewahrungsbox. Andererseits kann er als Transportbehälter für den zusammengefalteten Faltmaterialbogen dienen. Schließlich erhöht der Deckel die Stabilität der Aufbewahrungsbox. Vorteilhaft ist zumindest eine der Stirnwände an ihrer Außenseite mit einem Handgriff versehen. Falls nur eine der Stirnwände eine Stirnlasche trägt, wird bevorzugt diese Stirnwand mit dem Handgriff versehen. Die Aufbewahrungsbox kann dann einfach nach Art einer Schublade aus einem Fach in einem Schrank oder Regal herausgezogen werden.According to a preferred development, the storage box has a removable lid with a cover wall covering the storage space and a peripheral edge resting on the outer sides of the side walls and the end walls. The lid serves on the one hand to close the storage box. On the other hand, it can serve as a transport container for the folded folded material sheet. Finally, the lid increases the stability of the storage box. Advantageously, at least one of the end walls is provided on its outside with a handle. If only one of the end walls carries a front flap, this end wall is preferably provided with the handle. The storage box can then be easily pulled out of a compartment in a cabinet or shelf in the manner of a drawer.

Eine Weiterbildung sieht vor, dass sich die Stirnwände vom Boden ausgehend bis zu einer größeren Höhe erstrecken als die Seitenwände. Dies ist insbesondere dann vorteilhaft, wenn die Aufbewahrungsbox der Aufnahme von Hängemappen dient. Die Hängemappen weisen jeweils eine Hülle zur Aufnahme von flachen Gegenständen wie Schriftgut auf, über deren Außenkontur an zwei einander abgewandten Seiten Haken überstehen, die jeweils auf der Oberkante einer der Seitenwände wie auf einer Schiene eines Aktenschranks aufliegen.A further development provides that the end walls extend from the ground to a greater height than the side walls. This is particularly advantageous if the storage box of the recording of hanging files serves. The suspension files each have a shell for receiving flat objects such as documents on the outer contour on two opposite sides projecting hooks, each resting on the upper edge of one of the side walls as on a rail of a filing cabinet.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform dienen die Aufbewahrungsboxen als Schubladen. Sie sind Teil eines Aufbewahrungsbehälters, der einen Aufnahmekörper aufweist, welcher einen Aufnahmeraum für die Aufbewahrungsbox oder die Aufbewahrungsboxen umschließt. Der Aufnahmeraum ist zumindest nach einer Vorderseite hin offen und der Aufnahmekörper weist mindestens eine Führungsfläche auf, auf der die Aufbewahrungsbox oder die Aufbewahrungsboxen aufliegt bzw. aufliegen. Der Aufbewahrungsbehälter kann eine oder mehrere Aufbewahrungsboxen umfassen. Er kann wie ein kleines Möbelstück verwendet werden.According to a preferred embodiment, the storage boxes serve as drawers. They are part of a storage container having a receiving body which encloses a receiving space for the storage box or the storage boxes. The receiving space is open at least after a front side and the receiving body has at least one guide surface on which the storage box or the storage boxes rests or rest. The storage container may include one or more storage boxes. It can be used like a small piece of furniture.

Zweckmäßig weist der Aufnahmekörper mehrere, im Abstand übereinander angeordnete Führungsflächen und mehrere auf den Führungsflächen aufliegende Aufbewahrungsboxen auf. Zudem weist er vorteilhaft den Aufnahmeraum umschließende Wände aus einem Flachmaterial auf, wobei das Flachmaterial an die Wände miteinander verbindenden Kanten gefaltet ist. Der Aufnahmekörper und die Aufbewahrungsbox bzw. die Aufbewahrungsboxen können aus demselben, bereits oben beschriebenen Flachmaterial gefertigt sein.Suitably, the receiving body has a plurality of spaced apart guide surfaces and a plurality of resting on the guide surfaces storage boxes. In addition, it advantageously has the receiving space enclosing walls made of a flat material, wherein the flat material is folded to the walls connecting edges. The receiving body and the storage box or the storage boxes can be made of the same, already described above flat material.

Der Aufbewahrungsbehälter kann durchgehende Zwischenböden als Führungsflächen aufweisen, auf denen die Aufbewahrungsboxen aufliegen. Es wird jedoch bevorzugt, dass mindestens eine der Führungsflächen durch zwei im Abstand und parallel zueinander verlaufende Führungsschienen gebildet wird. Dabei ist es möglich, dass die Führungsschienen an in den Aufnahmekörper eingesetzten, einstückigen Strukturelementen angeformt sind.The storage container may have continuous shelves as guide surfaces on which rest the storage boxes. However, it is preferred that at least one of the guide surfaces is formed by two spaced and parallel guide rails. It is possible that the guide rails on in the Receiving body inserted, one-piece structural elements are formed.
