Description

The invention relates to a storage box with at least one contained, extendable and retractable kitchen chute.

Kitchen chutes are known per se, namely as independent objects made of e.g. earthenware, porcelain or even plastic. Also known are box-shaped storage boxes made of wood, which can be used to insert a large number of similar kitchen bins, e.g. made of plastic and which can be hung on a wall with hangers on the back. However, such storage boxes are unwieldy. They cannot be accommodated in a closet, for example, as desired, because the storage boxes, designed to hold a large number of kitchen bins sitting next to each other, are too long are. One is forced to keep the horizontally very wide spreading arrangement. On the other hand, it is often missing in the household the space. Incidentally, it does not meet everyone's wish to have such storage boxes separately on one in a closet-like manner To hang on the wall.

The invention is based on the object of providing a remedy here and a storage box with at least one contained, To create an extendable and retractable kitchen chute that suits the

individual user diverse, -free possibilities for the arrangement, even if several kitchen bins are required, and this with the best possible adaptation to the most varied of space and space conditions. In addition, the storage box should have a kitchen drawer be stable and also usable in the long term, with everything an appealing overall impression and of course be as simple and cheap as possible in terms of effort.

In the case of a storage box of the generic type, the object is achieved according to the invention by the features in the identification part of claim 1.

Thanks to this design according to the invention results a shapely, relatively light, long-term stable and usable storage box with kitchen bins, which also meets the most diverse requirements in terms of the arrangement and an adaptation to the different space and room conditions. The square design of the insertion openings and the internal recordings and the corresponding assignment of the kitchen chutes makes it possible the kitchen chutes, relative to the spatial position of the storage box, to bring in the most varied of positions. The storage box can, for example, be used as a standing container on a support surface, e.g. B. a table and this either with one of the two broad surfaces, i.e. with its floor or with its ceiling, where the inner recordings are next to each other, or also upright göetzt with one or other side wall, in which case the inner recordings are one above the other. In all positions you can the kitchen bins, viewed relative to the storage box, insert in the position that is appropriate for the respective use position corresponds, so usually so that the filling opening or discharge opening of the kitchen chute respectively

The storage box shown in the drawings is designed as a one-piece double box 10, the inside two Kitchen chutes 11 and 12 accommodates, which are each extendable and retractable. Both the double box 10 and the both kitchen chutes 11 and 12 are made as plastic injection molded parts educated.

The double box 10 contains two inner receptacles 13 and 14 grouped next to one another with associated insertion openings 15 and 16, each of which is at least roughly square, with clearly rounded ones Corners, as can be seen in particular from FIG.

Each kitchen chute 11, 12 has an at least approximately square, an insertion opening 15 or 16 like one Wall completely covering front panel 17 or 18 with handle 19 or 20. For each front panel 17.18 its edge is designed all around as an insertion stop with which the inserted into the double box 10 Kitchen chute 11 or 12 at the boundary edge of the insertion opening 15 or 16 to limit the depth of insertion strikes. The outer edge at the edge of each front panel 17 or 18 closes essentially flush with it the edges of each insertion opening 15 or 16 of the double box 10, so that when the kitchen chutes are inserted 11, 12 their respective front panel 17 or 18, the front insertion opening 15 or 16 of the double box 10 covers without there being a noticeable overhang at the edge.

As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 2-6, the rear wall 21, furthermore the floor 22 and the ceiling, extend 23 of the double box 10 continuously over both inner ones

- 13 -

Recordings 13 and 14. They therefore form one piece and delimit these recordings 13 and 14. In the border area of the two adjacent inner receptacles 13 and 14, that is to say in FIG. 2 in the area of the plane of symmetry, is only a front separating web 24 made of plastic is arranged, which is like a partition wall over a near the Insertion openings 15, 16 located depth range of Double box 10 extends. The divider 24 acts as a partition or other department and is at the same time as Support between the floor 22 and the ceiling 23 of the double box 10 is formed. It therefore stiffens the double box 10 with little use of material. The divider

24 is held in the region of the bottom 22 and the ceiling 23 in grooves 25 and 26 there, which are attached to each other facing inner sides of the bottom 22 and the ceiling 23 are molded in during manufacture. The grooves 25, 26 are in the direction opposite to the direction of insertion is open and diverge at least weakly in this direction, as FIG. 5 shows. The divider 24 is in the direction of arrow 27 CFig. 5) into the grooves

25 and 26 pushed in, whereby it by the wedge-shaped in the direction of arrow 27 approaching walls with increasing Clamping force is anchored.

The double box 10 can be used or handled in a variety of ways. On the one hand, it can be used as a standing container be used on a support surface, e.g. a table surface, on which the double box 10 either with its Floor 22 or, in the opposite position, with its ceiling 23 stands. Furthermore, the double box 10 can also be upright set (Fig. 1c), the double box 10 then rests with a side wall 28 or 29 on the support surface. Corresponding In this position of use, the kitchen chutes 11, 12 are inserted, either in one position side by side (Fig. 1a, 1b) or in a vertical position

one above the other CFig. 1c). Several similarly designed double boxes are to be stacked vertically in a vertical direction stackable on top of one another, as indicated in FIG. 1b with regard to the double boxes 10a and 10b. Further double boxes can also be set up in the horizontal direction, as indicated by 10c in FIG. 1b is. If the double box 10 is placed on edge, as indicated in FIG. 1c, then a vertical stack can also be used or, as indicated by 10d, a horizontal stack can be formed. In addition, the double box 10 can also be attached hanging under a board or other part 30 of a piece of furniture, as shown in FIG. 1d or in Fig. 6 is indicated by dashed lines schematically. Instead, the double box 10 can also be attached to the rear wall a wall 31 CFig. 1e).

The double box 10 has, on the one hand, means for stacking several similar ones that are interlocked with one another in a form-fitting manner Double boxes 10,10a, 10b, 10c, 10d arranged one above the other (Fig. 1b) to form a vertical stack and with either lying on the same side or with opposing directions Insertion openings and / or in a side-by-side arrangement to form a horizontal stack of the same type (Fig. 1b. Fig. 2c). With each stacking, e.g. to form a vertical stack according to Fig. 1b, the insertion openings 15, 16 of a double box 10 point to one side, while the insertion openings of the above stacked double box 10a in opposite directions, that is to say are approximately at the level of the rear wall 21. Then will in the lower double box 10, the kitchen chutes 11, 12 pushed in from the front, while in the upper double box 10a is pushed in from the rear. In addition to the means discussed below which a positive locking of the The double box 10

«ItI

(I It I

- 15 -

also means for vertically hanging fastening according to FIG. 1d and / or for rear wall mounting according to FIG. 1e. These last-mentioned means are explained in more detail below as the first.

The rear wall 21 of the double box 10 is already cut out or provided along predetermined breaking points breakable wall breakthroughs, which are shown in the The embodiment consists of two holes 32, 33 in the rear wall 21. Holes 32,33 are in Transversely spaced from each other and further arranged at a distance below the ceiling 23 and for the penetration of fastening screws 34 or 35 according to FIG. 1e and FIG. B or of wall hooks or the like on the rear wall Wall brackets determined. As a result, a rear wall-side attachment to a wall 31 is made possible, at as before possible stacking in the vertical direction and / or horizontal direction.

For hanging attachment below a board or part 30 of a piece of furniture, e.g. a kitchen piece of furniture, According to FIG. 1d, the ceiling 23 of the double box 10 is already cut out and / or along predetermined breaking points subsequently breakable breakthroughs provided. The latter consist on the one hand of two holes 36,37 near the front insertion openings 15,16 Area. These front holes 36, 37 are used, as indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 6, for reaching through of fastening screws 38 or 39 or similar fastening means that allow hanging attachment. On the other hand, these exist along the predetermined breaking point !! breakable openings in the area close to the rear wall from slots 40, 41 in the ceiling 23, which to the rear wall are led to and through this. The slots 40,41 have the same transverse spacing, from one another and the same distance from the rear wall 21 and the two

- 16 -

Sidewalls 28.29, like front holes 36.37 in the ceiling 23. The left hole 36 is thus aligned, seen parallel to the side wall 28, with the slot 40, while the other hole 37 is aligned in the same way with the slot, the distance between the bottom of the slot of the two Slots 40,41 from the rear wall 21 is just as large as the distance between the holes 36,37 from the plane of the front Insertion openings 15, 16. As shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 6, the rear wall 21 has, moreover, at the level of each slot | 40 and 41 an approximately semicircular, either already «

recessed or along predetermined breaking points breakable recess 42 or 43, which when pushed open the double box 10 (Fig. 6) on both sides, already screwed into the board or part 30 rear fastening screws 44, hooks or the like. ensure that the head grips through for the hanging bracket. If the double box 10 pushed to the left in Fig. 6, then the head of the fastening screw 44 extends through the approximately semicircular Recess 43 in the rear wall 21, so that the head of the fastening screw when pushed on further 44 is located below the ceiling 23 and the screw shaft penetrates the slot 41.

The means for the locking connection of several double boxes 10, 10a, 10b stacked vertically one above the other (Fig.1b) consist of stacking projections 45, 46 in the form of, for example, molded cams, pins or the like, which extend over the underside of the bottom 22 protrude at least slightly towards the bottom. These stacking projections 45,46 are in the area close to the front insertion openings 15, 16 and thereby perpendicularly below the one there in the ceiling 23 recessed holes 36, 37 arranged so that the latter are effective as stacking recesses in the the stacking projections 45, 46 engage in a latching manner.

- 17 -

Details of this locking function when stacked are indicated schematically in dashed or dash-dotted lines in FIG. 6. Is the dashed The indicated double box 10a is placed on the double box 10, then the lower stacking projection 46a engages the Double box 10a latching from above in the direction of the arrow one in the hole 37 in the ceiling 23 of the double box 10.

If the double box 10 with respect to the insertion openings is in opposite directions from above on the in Fig. 6 Placed under the double box 10b shown in dash-dotted lines, then the lower stacking projection 46 engages Double box 10 from above in the direction of the arrow into the The slot 41b of the lower double box 10b near the rear wall.

The double box 10 also has standing projections 47, in particular protruding beyond the underside of its base 22 Ribs of the foot, on. The latter extend at approximately the same distance from the respective side wall 29 or 2Θ like the stacking projections 46 or 45 there and run approximately parallel to the respective side wall. As can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 6, the rib-like standing projections 47 preferably take in the direction towards the rear wall 21 towards with respect to their overhang steadily, but at most up to the overhang of the Stacking protrusions 45, 46.

Details of the kitchen chutes 11, 12 are explained below using the example of the kitchen chute 11 in FIGS. 7-9. The handle 19 on the front panel 17 of the Kitchen chute 11 is roughly in the shape of a hollow box with the bottom, i.e. downwards in FIG. 7 Opening of the hollow box formed. As you can see, this box girder extends from the upper edge the front panel 17 starting about a third to half the height of the front panel 17 and thereby in
