 The closing device is preferably arranged on a side wall of the reusable container on the side of the wall, which is not inclined to the interior. More preferably, the closing device is arranged on the side of the side wall, which is opposite to the bottom of the reusable container. Furthermore, the closure device is preferably arranged on an edge region of the wall or of the side wall, so particularly preferably, in the case of a rectangular side wall, on a longitudinal side centrally between the two transverse sides. Most preferably, the reusable container on two oppositely arranged closing devices, so that the lid, which is preferably rectangular in shape, is connectable on two opposite 5 sides by the respective closing device with the wall. In the

In the closed position, the closing device preferably extends parallel to the wall, while for opening the closing device, ie for leaving the closed position, preferably the closing device is pivoted into a position in which the closing device no longer extends parallel to the wall. The two closing device cause a particularly good fixation of the lid on the walls and thus a secure closure of the reusable container. In this context, a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the closing device has a receptacle and an opening, on the cover a head is arranged, wherein the receptacle and the head are configured and arranged such that, with closed interior of the lid, by latching the head in the recording latching is depressible. In this way, a reusable container is provided with a closing device that is easy to use by anyone.

Furthermore, a preferred embodiment of the invention in this context, that at the head of the lid a sealing receptacle is arranged with a receiving opening, and the reusable container also comprises a plug-in seal, wherein the opening and the sealing receptacle are configured and arranged such that, with closed interior of the lid, the opening through the closing movement congruently comes to lie on the receiving opening, so that the plug-in seal through the opening and the receiving opening for sealing the closing in the closed position can be pushed, and the plug seal has a predetermined breaking point and the plug seal is configured in that, when the plug-in seal is pulled out of the receiving opening or opening of the closing device, the plug-in seal breaks at the predetermined breaking point.

In this way, in the case of a plug-in seal inserted through the opening and the receiving opening, the cover can no longer be removed from the wall. Removal of the lid from the wall is preferably possible only by opening the closing device. In this case, that is, when the plug-in seal is inserted through the opening and the receiving opening, it is preferably provided that the plug-in seal breaks. As a result, it can be seen whether an unauthorized opening of the reusable container has taken place during transport. On the other hand, however, this also means that it is preferred that without closing the plug-in seal, a closing device which has previously been secured against opening by the plug-in seal can not be opened otherwise. Through the plug-in seal thus a tamper-evident closure is created, which gives information about the original of the contents of the reusable container. If the reusable container is to be reused, this means that a new, unbroken plug-in seal is to be used for the next transport. The closing device and / or the plug-in seal are preferably made of a plastic, in particular of a polymeric plastic such as polycarbonate, polypropylene or polyoxymethylene executed. More preferably, the plug-in seal is configured as a plug-in seal, the seal designed as a seal and / or the seal receptacle as a seal receiving. The plug-in seal can also be configured as desired, however, according to a particularly preferred embodiment, has a pin-shaped middle part, which is provided at one end with a rear catch and at the other, opposite end with a push part extending orthogonally to the pin-shaped part part, wherein the predetermined breaking point is configured by a notch extending towards the center part and extending to the press part on the side facing away from the middle part.

Preferably, the length of the pin-shaped central part is dimensioned such that, when the plug-in seal is inserted through the opening and the receiving opening, on the one hand, the rear catch touching the sealing receptacle engages behind and on the other hand the pressing member abutting against the closing engages touching behind. The rear catch is further preferably designed as a triangular tip, wherein the diameter of the rear catch is greater than the diameter of the opening and the receiving opening, but dimensioned such that the Hinterrastung can be inserted through the opening and the receiving opening, but not through the opening and the receiving opening can be pulled out. The pressing member is preferably designed flat and preferably has a size such that the pressing member can be conveniently held with one or two fingers and inserted through the opening and the receiving opening. More preferably, the notch is designed as a bore, so preferably with a depth of 1 or 2 mm. Since material has been removed from the pressing part through the bore, the predetermined breaking point is created on the side of the pressing part opposite the bore. Similarly, the notch allows improved manual guidance of the pusher member.

According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the wall, the plug-in seal and the closing device are configured such that the closing device in the closed position and the through opening and the receiving opening hindurchge Inserted plug-in seal on their sides facing away from the interior not protrude beyond the side facing away from the interior of the wall, in particular flush with the side facing away from the interior of the wall. This ensures that, when the reusable container is being conveyed by the machine, the closing device, in the closed position, does not protrude beyond the wall and therefore snagging against other objects is prevented. Likewise, this makes it possible that a reusable container without lid with closing in the closed position "upside down" can be cleaned without the closing device "protrudes" to the outside. Preferably, the wall has a notch in which the closing device is arranged, so that the closing device in the closed position and / or the plug-in seal does not protrude beyond the wall.

In principle, the reusable container can be configured from any material forming the wall, the bottom and the lid. According to a particularly preferred embodiment, however, the wall and / or the bottom and / or the cover and / or the first surface stabilization device and / or the second surface stabilization device are made of polypropylene, in particular of expanded polypropylene foam (EPP), and / or of a temperature-insulating Material designed. Particularly preferably, the polypropylene foam is made of expanded, predominantly closed-cell foam particles. Expanded polypropylene (EPP) is a polypropylene-based particle foam. Polypropylene (abbreviation PP) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic and belongs to the group of polyolefins. Particularly preferably, the wall and / or the bottom and / or the lid of Neopolen P, most preferably Neopolen P 9225 K, designed.

Further advantages of expanded polypropylene are the good energy absorption capacity, a low dead weight and a high thermal stability. The good energy absorption capability enables shocks to be absorbed and absorbed very well. Thus, a reusable container can be provided which has good cushioning properties and with which bottles can be safely transported. If the first bottle stabilizing device and / or the second bottle stabilizing device are likewise made of EPP, then the bottles can be stored and transported particularly securely in the reusable container. Preferably, the expanded polypropylene len a density of 5 to 170 kg / m ³ , in particular from 30 to 60 kg / m ³ and preferably 40 kg / m ³ , on. Thus, a particularly easy reusable container for safe transport of bottles can be provided. Preferably, the weight of the reusable container is> 1.5 kg and <3 kg, more preferably> 1.8 kg and <2.5 kg.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the bottom and / or the walls and / or the cover comprises an insulating material. In this way, a temperature-insulated reusable container can be provided so that the bottles can preferably be stored or transported in the reusable container at a temperature between> 5 ° and <25 °, particularly preferably between> 8 ° and <22 °. Advantageous temperature-insulating properties of the reusable container can be achieved by forming the bottom and / or the walls and / or the lid of expanded polypropylene. According to a further preferred embodiment, the reusable container on a lid of expanded polypropylene foam (EPP), wherein the lid, with its interior closed with the lid, on its side facing away from the interior has a labeling surface, which is configured such, the adhesive labels with a Permanent adhesive on the one hand to the label surface are adhered and other hand, residue-free removable. Since the application and removal of adhesive labels on expanded polypropylene foam (EPP) is difficult, and not infrequently results in extremely unsatisfactory results or even destruction of the expanded polypropylene foam (EPP), the provision of such a writing surface is extremely advantageous. It is thus possible, on the one hand, to securely adhere affixed adhesive labels with the address information, franking information etc. to the labeling area so that the adhesive label is not lost during transport from the sender to the recipient of the reusable container, while on the other hand to the advantage a simple reusability of the reusable container, the adhesive label is removed without residue from the labeling surface. For example, the labeling surface is made of plastic, which is glued on the expanded polypropylene foam (EPP). According to yet another preferred embodiment, the reusable container on a side facing away from the interior of the wall on a Gleitfuß, so in particular at one, with closed interior of the lid, the lid opposite arranged wall. The Gleitfuß is preferably made of a plastic, preferably made of a polymeric plastic such as polycarbonate, polypropylene or polyoxymethylene, and inserted into a recess of the wall from outside the wall. So that the sliding foot can not fall out of the recess, the sliding foot more preferably has a projection in such a way that the sliding foot can indeed be inserted into the recess but can no longer be pulled out of the recess, so that it can not be lost during transport. The projection can be designed as a lamella or a plurality of lamellae can be arranged on the Gleitfuß. Likewise, the lamella and / or the projection can be designed as a thread or thread-like. A particularly reliable anchoring of Gleitfußes with the wall is achieved when the Gleitfuß is pressed during the foaming of the wall in the still warm, flexible material, so that the material - in the case of fins - can run into the interstices, and thus after the Cooling causes a locking of the Gleitfußes, which counteracts slipping out of Gleitfußes from the wall. By providing such a sliding foot it is achieved that the slip and sliding behavior on conveying and distribution systems in parcel centers of a logistics service provider is comparable to that of corrugated and solid board packaging, thus

Machine capability of such designed reusable container is guaranteed.

More preferably, the bottom of the reusable container on a plurality of sliding feet, so for example along its two longitudinal sides in each case three sliding feet are arranged in a wavy line to each other, so that the respective middle sliding feet are closer to each other than the outer sliding feet provided in the ground.

Fig. 1 shows a reusable container 2, for transporting bottles, according to a preferred embodiment, in a perspective view. The reusable container 2 has an inner space 4, which is bounded by an insulating wall 6, an insulating bottom 8 and a removable, insulating cover (not shown). On a side facing the interior 4 of the bottom 8, a first bottle stabilizing device 10 is arranged. At a distance and parallel to this first bottle stabilizer 10, a second bottle stabilizer 12 is arranged. The first bottle stabilization device 10 has a plurality of first fixing receptacles 14 on a side facing the interior 4. In addition, a plurality of second fixing receptacles (not shown) are arranged on a side of the second bottle stabilizing device 12 facing the interior 4.

The first fixation receptacles 14 and the second fixation receptacles are arranged and configured such that a bottle 11, which has a longitudinal axis, a bottle bottom and a bottle head spaced from the bottle bottom in the direction of the longitudinal axis, in a direction perpendicular to the bottom 8 via a first Fixation recording 14 and a second fixation receptacle in the interior 4 can be fixed securely in position. For this purpose, the bottle bottom engages in a first fixation receptacle 14. The bottle head engages in the second fixation receptacle of the second bottle stabilizing device 12 that is parallel and arranged at a distance from the first fixation receptacle 14. Thus, the bottle 11 is fixed in position over the first fixing receptacle 14 and the second fixing receptacle in their position in the interior 4 of the reusable container 2.

Furthermore, the first bottle stabilizer 10 and the second bottle stabilizer 12 are formed as a cooling element with a coolant. In this way, the bottles 11 can be cooled during transport from the sender to the recipient. The wall 6, the bottom 8 and the lid are formed of polypropylene, in the present case expanded polypropylene foam has been used. Expanded polypropylene foam has a good energy absorption capacity, a low intrinsic weight and also has good insulating properties, in particular a high thermal stability. The good energy absorption capability causes shocks from the reusable container 2 to be absorbed and absorbed very well, as a result of which the reusable container 2 has good cushioning properties to safely transport bottles 11. The shown Mehrwergbehälter 2 has a weight of 2 kg. With the multi-purpose container 2 bottles 11 can be transported safely with a total weight of 31.5 kg. The temperature-insulating properties of expanded polypropylene act, that the bottles 11 can be transported at a temperature between> 5 ° and <25 °.

FIG. 2 shows the first bottle stabilization device 10 and the second bottle stabilization device 12 for fixing a bottle 11 in the interior of the reusable container (not shown) in a perspective view from below. From Fig. 2 it can be seen that the bottle head 13 of the bottle 11 engages in a second fixation receptacle 16 of the plurality of second fixation receptacles 16 touching. In this way, the bottle 11 is fixed to the bottle head 13. Overall, 20 bottles, in the present case 20 beer bottles, each with a filling volume of 0.5 l, can be fixed in a positionally secure manner via the first bottle stabilizing device 10 and the second bottle stabilizing device 12. In Fig. 3, the first bottle stabilizer 10 and the second bottle stabilizer 12 for 24 bottles, each with a filling volume of 0.33 1 is shown.

In the present case, the first fixing receptacles 14 are formed as a cylindrical recess, each cylindrical first fixing receptacle 14 having a longitudinal axis and the respective longitudinal axis at right angles to an underside of the first bottle stabilizing device 10 facing the bottom (not shown). The first fixing receptacle 14 thus corresponds to a cylindrical cup formed in the bottle 11 can be adjusted with the bottle bottom 15. The cylindrical design of the first fixing receptacles 14 thus enables a simple and secure setting of a bottle 11 in a first fixation receptacle 14. In addition, it can be seen that at least three first fixation receptacles 14 are arranged triangular to each other such that the angle between the centers of the first fixation receptacles 14 respectively 60 °. In this way, a plurality of bottles 11 can be stored and transported in a particularly space-saving and safe manner in the reusable container. Furthermore, in the edge region of the first bottle stabilization device 10 on one of the wall (not shown) side facing at a first edge and in the edge region of the second bottle stabilizer 12 on one of the wall (not shown) side facing on a second edge in each case from a handle 17 from cut - educated. In this way, the first bottle stabilizer 10 and the second bottle stabilizer 12 can be conveniently inserted into the reusable container or removed from the reusable container. In addition, it can be seen from FIG. 3 that rib elements 19 are arranged on one side of the second bottle stabilizing device 12 facing away from the first bottle stabilizing device 10. The rib members 19 impart a higher stability to the second bottle stabilizer 12. In addition, the distance between the side facing the interior 4 of the second bottle stabilizer 12 and the lid (not shown) via the rib members 19 is specified. Thus, the distance between the first bottle stabilizing device 10 and the second bottle stabilizing device 12 is defined in a reusable container in order to secure the bottle 11 in the sealed returnable container between the first bottle stabilizing device 10 and the second bottle stabilizing device 12. In Fig. 4 the known from Fig. 1 reusable container 2 is shown, wherein the reusable container 2 now has a lid 18 with which the interior 4 can be sealed.

In order to apply for the transport of a sender to a recipient corresponding Sendein- formations, such as recipient address, franking, etc., on the cover 18 on the side facing away from the interior 4 of the lid 18 side of the lid 18, a labeling surface 20 is provided, which in such a way is configured, the adhesive labels with a permanent adhesive on the one hand to the labeling surface 20 are adhered and on the other hand are removable without residue. The labeling surface 20 is designed for this purpose from a plastic material, which is adhesively bonded to the lid 18. The adhesive labels are preferably designed to be machine-readable so that, for example, recipient and franking information can be read in automatically from the adhesive label during transport. Furthermore, it can be seen that the lid 18 closes the bounded by the wall 6 interior 4. Specifically, the interior 4 is limited by four side surfaces 22 and the bottom 6 and the lid 18. Since the reusable container 2 shown has a rectangular shape, the side surfaces 22 are essentially also rectangular in each case. tig, wherein the reusable container 2 in the present case has a width of 600 mm, a depth of 400 mm and a height of 397 mm.

A closure device 24, by means of which the cover 18 can be fixed to the wall 6, is arranged centrally on a side edge of a side surface 22 facing the cover 18. The closing device 24 is arranged to pivot on the wall 6 by a closing movement in a closed position shown in Fig. 4. Concretely, the reusable container 2 has two closing devices 24, which are arranged opposite one another on the longitudinal side faces 22, so that the lid 18 can likewise be fixed to the wall 6 on its two longitudinal sides by the closing device 24.

In Fig. 5 the known from Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 reusable container 2 is shown from below. It can be seen here that six sliding feet 26 are provided on the bottom 8 of the reusable container 2, which project in each case over the wall 6 or the bottom 8. The reusable container thus slides so, for example, on a conveyor belt or a chute, not on the floor 8, but on the sliding feet 26. On each longitudinal side of the bottom 8 three sliding feet 26 are provided for this, each with a Gleitfuß 26 in a corner of the floor 8 is arranged and the two middle sliding feet 26 are arranged offset each row towards the center of the bottom 8.

Fig. 6 shows the closing device 24 in the open position in detail. The closing device 24 has a receptacle 28 and an opening 30. Accordingly, a head 32 and a sealing receptacle 34 with a receiving opening 36 are provided on the lid 18. The head 32 and the sealing receptacle 34 are integrally formed from a tube part, as shown in FIG. 7 can be seen. 7 shows a rear partial view of the closing device 24 with the head 32 of the sealed receptacle 34 and the receiving opening 36 in the closed position. From these two figures it can be seen that the closing device 24 is fastened by means of a second pipe part 38 on the wall 6 pivotally. The second tube part 38 is designed for this purpose as a rectilinearly extending tube, which is inserted into the wall 6 of polypropylene at its two ends and in a central part. foams. The closing device 24 is pivotally connected to the second tube part 38 at two locations, in each case between one end and the middle part, in the manner of a snap connection.

By means of pivoting the closing device 24 by means of a closing movement into the closed position shown in FIG. 4, the head 32 is pressed into the receptacle 28 in a latching manner, so that the lid 18 is fixed to the wall 6 by the closing device 24. For this purpose, the receptacle 28 and the head 32 are designed in the manner of a snap connection. As can be seen from FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the head 32 extends on both sides between the sealing receptacle 34 in each case over 5 cm as a tubular part with a round cross section, the receptacle 28 having an at least semicircular receiving form which is dimensioned in such a way that the head 32 can be clipped into the receptacle 28 and can be snapped out of the receptacle 28 again by pulling on the closing device 24.

 The head 32 and the sealing receptacle 34 are, as already stated, designed in one piece as a tube and foamed into the designed of expanded polypropylene foam cover 18, so that in each case between the seal receptacle 34 and the head 32, a part of the pipe part and the other end of the head 32 in the lid 18 o are foamed.

If now the closing device 24 is pivoted into the closed position by the closing movement, the opening 30 is congruent to lie on the receiving opening 36, so that a plug-in seal 40 through the opening 30 and the receiving 5 meöffnung 36 can be pushed, as shown in Fig. 7 shown. The plug-in seal 40 has a pin-shaped central part, which is bounded at one end by a rear catch 42 and at the other, opposite end by a pressing member 44. In the state of the plug-in seal 40 inserted through the opening 30 and the receiving opening 36, the rear catch 42 abuts the receiving opening 36 and the pressing part 44 abuts the opening 30 such that the closing device 24 is sealed in its closed position. On the pressing member 44, a notch is provided, which extends on the side facing away from the central part towards the central part. This notch causes a predetermined breaking point such that upon removal of the plug-in seal 40 from the receiving opening 36, the plug-in seal 40 inevitably breaks. Thus, if the closing device 24 shown in Fig. 4 is pivoted out of the closed position into an open position for removing the lid 18, thereby inevitably the plug-in seal 40, which prevents opening of the closing device 24, broken. The wall 6, the plug-in seal 40 and the closing device 24 are also configured such that the closing device 24 in the closed position as well as the plug-in seal 40 inserted through the opening 30 and the receiving opening 36 do not project beyond the side of the wall 6 facing away from the interior 3.
