Container with hinged lid

The innovation relates to a container with a hinged lid, in particular a case ₃ which has a lower shell made of plastic and a lid connected to it via a hinge, expediently fixed in the closed position and limited in its opening angle, the hinge pans and joint balls or the like engaging therein. Has hinge elements and the joint balls or the like "are arranged on the end faces of a narrow strip protruding on the back of the neck and the pans or the like" on the end faces of a recess in the back of the lower shell corresponding to this strip.

Cases are already known in which subsequently attached hinges, the special springs to limit the

have j j; The opening angle of the cover is provided »Such Hinges are complicated and expensive to assemble. In addition, they * have the disadvantage that

■ 2-

Additional, loose parts added springs are unintentional to solve.

A container with a hinged lid has therefore already been proposed as a case, which has an upper and a lower shell, which are preferably made of injection-molded plastic and are connected by hinges, these from the upper and lower shell integrally formed and coordinated with one another There are tenons and slots and the opening angle of the lid is limited with the help of pegs, which are in the shape of a bag Engage slots. Such cases do not require any additional springs or the like. Additional parts assembled by hand must be and possibly be lost. In addition to these and other advantages, however, the last-mentioned containers also still have some powers. The pocket-shaped slots can be seen when looking inside the case and it is therefore, as a rule, it is necessary to have an inner lining in the case to be covered. However, as a rule, numerous cases only need one lining of the inner bottom of the case or no inner lining at all, so that all other things being equal, an at least partially additional lining is required in the aforementioned containers for the purpose of covering the pocket-like slots. Also has found that the engaging in the aforementioned pocket-shaped slots pegs are sensitive, so that they occasionally break off. The same applies to the area around the pocket-shaped seat braid, which can also easily break out, so that the pins can no longer fulfill their task.

The innovation is the object of a case or the like. To create a container with a hinged lid, in which, while avoiding the disadvantages of the aforementioned cases, the case lid - hereinafter also referred to as cover for short - can be easily opened and closed on the case lower shell and at the same time a safe limitation of the opening angle of the lid is provided . The shape and the lower case shell and the associated cover should be simple and stable, especially in the area of their hinge elements. They should also be easy to manufacture, for example from injection-molded plastic.

To solve this problem, the innovation proposes in a container of the type mentioned that the recess in the Area between the joint balls or the like. an undercut and at least one protruding backwards towards the dedel Has stop bar to limit the opening angle of the lid. With this design, the Lid has a secure stop in its open position., which is also stable.

Appropriately, to limit the opening angle Serving bar see extending over the entire length of the recess. This not only makes it very stable, the broadcasters The associated manufacturing form is also easy to manufacture.

The assembly of the lid and lower shell is made easier, that at least one end face of the recess one

has narrowing inlet from the cover side, so that the joint ball (s) can easily be guided into the associated socket at this bevel.

It is advantageous if the lid and the lower shell at least on a part of their sides opposite the hinge at least one matching locking lug and groove. As a result, the hinged lid in connection with the aforementioned hinge is also in the closed position held securely on the lower part.

The innovation is explained in more detail with the details associated with it as essential to the invention with reference to the drawing. Does it show at different scales?

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the case;

Fig. J5 shows a vertical cross section through the case accordingly the section line HI-III according to FIG. 1 and on a greatly enlarged scale

FIG. 5 shows a detail according to that indicated in FIG Area V as well as

Fig. Β a detail according to that indicated in Fig. J5 with VI Area.

A case 1 has a lower shell 2 and a hinged lid 3 / which is also called "lid" for short. A total of 4

The hinge shown extends over a large part of the back 2a of the lower shell. In this area, the lid 3 has a strip 5 protruding downward on the back of the lid. which is slightly narrower than the back 2a of the lower shell 2. When the cover 3 is connected to the lower shell 2 and is closed, this bar is located in a recess β of the lower shell back 2a, this recess being cemented to the cover 3 and open to the rear. On the end faces 7 of the bar 5, joint balls 8 are provided which pivotably snap into sockets 9 which are located in those end faces of the recess 6 which are adjacent to the end faces 7 of the bar 5 (FIG. 5). These joint balls 8 and sockets 9 belong to the hinge elements, about whose common pivot axis S (FIGS. M and 5) the cover 3 can be pivoted. Instead of the joint balls and sockets 8 and 9, pegs or the like engaging in bearing-like pockets can also be used. Hinge elements are used.

An essential feature of the furnace is now the recess β in the lower area near the joint balls with one that extends somewhat towards the inside of the case, but provided the undercut 10 closed towards the inside of the case and pointing upwards, that is to say in the direction of the cover 3 the recess has a stop bar 11 projecting backwards beyond this undercut 10. The undercut 10, the stop bar 11 and the bar 5 in front of it on the back of the cover are now taking into account the position

■, '■■■ ■■■■ ■■■ ■■ ■■ ■ .. if ■ ^: -6- - ■■ ■; ^[

of the joint balls 8 and the associated sockets or the pivot axis S given by these parts 8 and 9 so arranged that the bar 5 of the back of the lid Yes. when the cover 3 * is opened (cf. the open part of the cover indicated by dash-dotted lines in Pig. 4) rests against the stop bar 11. The opening angle of the cover j5 is limited to about 90, for example.

The stop bar 11 can extend over the entire length of the Extend recess 6 and is then particularly stable «, the stop bar 11 may, however, also only need to extend over a certain area of the recess 11.

As can be seen well from FIG. 5, each end face 12 of the recess 6 is beveled somewhat in the upper area, ie facing the cover 3, in the sense of a widening. This makes it easier to insert the cover J> with its joint balls 8, which can be more easily inserted into the pans 9 located there via the incline of the end face 12.

The cover 3 and the lower shell 2 are still at least at the The front of the case is provided with a locking lug 20 which engages in one of the locking lugs of the cover J5 (Fig. 0) “In cooperation with the hinge described in more detail result in locking lug and courage 20, 21 a secure support of the closed cases.

The case 1 is advantageously made of injection-molded plastic

produced, which on the one hand gives the desired stability for the case, but on the other hand is still elastic enough that an easy assembly of cover J> and lower shell 2 is possible «Case parts 2 and 3 made of such material can also be made in one piece. With them you can also easily arrange a locking lug 20 in connection with a courage 21 on the cover J or lower part 2. If necessary, the latching lug can only extend over a part of the front side 22 of the case, which is opposite the hinge 4. Under special circumstances the design of the hinge according to the innovation with the parts 5 * 6, 7 > 8, 9, 10 and 11 can be designed so that the lower shell 2 occurs instead of the cover J5 and vice versa.

The hinge parts of the innovation according to Etuism 1 or the like. container with hinged lid are stable, easy to manufacture and assemble and leave no visible inside of the case Recesses.
