Roll container

The invention relates to a roll container, consisting of a base plate with preferably at least two Side edges arranged upright wall elements and arranged below the base plate wheels. 5

Roll containers are used in particular when picking goods in wholesale markets or warehouses. In particular when transporting, for example, by lorry;, ■ vehicles, but also when storing it in shops and supermarkets and in high shelves, the wheels of the known roll containers hinder their stability. A |? Another disadvantage is that the wheels are very stressed, especially when loading the roll cages and damage to the known roll containers often occurs, making them difficult to handle. aside from that Well-known, good roll containers are very expensive and are stolen because they are often deposited in open warehouses or exchanged for cheap.

The invention is based on the object of a roll container of the aforementioned type, in particular with regard to

improve its portability and longer lifespan.

According to the invention, this is achieved in a roll container according to the preamble of the main claim in that the wheels are fastened to an underframe on which the base plate with superstructures rests so that it can be lifted off. It is particularly advantageous if the movable subframe is approximately U-shaped. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the U-shaped underframe consists of three L-shaped rails arranged at right angles to one another, one leg of which is arranged horizontally inwardly and the other leg at an angle "> 90 ° to the horizontal rails is bent pointing upwards, so that the attachment arranged on the underframe cannot slip when the roll container is moved.

With a roll container according to the invention, a mechanical separation of the underframe and attachment only the essay, for example with one. Pallet truck loaded and preferably in the shop or supermarket only when unloading onto the movable Placed underframe, including a lift truck into the open side of an underframe according to the invention and can put the attachment on the base. The wheels of the undercarriage are only little and also evenly mechanically stressed by a horizontal lowering of the attachment. A

Tilting or kinking of the wheel bearing is therefore impossible. Another advantage of an inventive Rollcontainers consists in that the rollcontainer is only provided with wheels if these also really needed. The handling of a Roll container ice, for example on the loading area of a transport vehicle, is problem-free, because only the attachment without wheels is loaded.

In addition, there is a roll container according to the invention much cheaper because not every roll cage is equipped with its own wheels. Rather be for hundreds or thousands of roll container attachments, for example in an interim storage facility, which are inexpensive to manufacture, only a few movable underframes, which are more expensive, are required. A The roll container according to the invention thus fulfills to a high degree despite simple component design and less mechanical stress in an optimal way the demands placed on him.

Further advantageous configurations of a roll container according to the invention are the subject of the subclaims 2 to 12. The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. It shows

The roll container shown in the drawing exists essentially consists of an underframe 1 and an attachment 2. The underframe 1 consists of a U-shaped Frame part 3, which is composed of three approximately L-shaped rails 4, 5 and 6. Are there the legs 4a, 5a, 6a of the rails 4, 5, 6 are arranged horizontally facing inwards and each other legs 4b, 5b, 6b v / ironing outwards at an angle of approx. 100 ° with respect to the horizontal legs bent, resulting in a funnel-shaped arrangement of the frame part 3. The funnel-shaped Arrangement of the frame part 3 enables a roll container according to the invention to be used easier placement of the attachment 2. The frame part 3 is designed according to the invention as a welded construction.

At the free ends of the parallel rails 4, 6 are step board-shaped, downwardly open housings on the outside 7, 8 attached, which serve to accommodate wheels 9,10. The wheels 9, 10 can both as Festwie be designed as steering wheels according to this embodiment. Two more wheels 11 »12 are in the Arranged at a distance from one another in the central region of the rear rail 5. You are on two axes 13, guided, which are mounted between three arms 15, 16, 17 which are attached to the inside of the rear rail 5 and protrude horizontally into the frame part 3. The two outer arms 16, 17 are at their free End areas 16a, 17a angled towards each other. The wheels 11 »12 are preferably symmetrical guided to the center of the rear rail 5 on the axles 13, 14. In the embodiment according to

The attachment 2 consists essentially of a base plate 20, the external dimensions of which are somewhat smaller than the dimensions of the inner receiving surface caused by the frame part 3 of the underframe 1. For example, the external dimensions of the base plate 20 are corresponding to common standard containers 700 × 800 mm. Parallel to the longitudinal sides 20 a, b of the base plate 20, four U-shaped supports 22, which are fastened to the underside of the base plate 20, extend vertically downward in the Λ corner areas 21 and lie with their runners 22a on the horizontal legs 4a, 6a of the rails 4, 6. Also parallel to the longitudinal sides 20 a, b, two grids 23, 24 extend over their entire longitudinal extent perpendicularly upwards to the lateral ones

Limitation of goods that may be stacked on the base plate 20. The grids 23, 24 are removably arranged in corresponding recesses 25 in the corner regions 21 of the base plate 20. To remove the attachment 2, for example, a lift truck is moved under the base plate 20 between the side rails 4, 6 of the underframe 1 as far as the rear area of the frame part 3. The angled end portions 16 a, 17 a of the arms 16, 17 ensure that the fork arms of the lift truck (not shown) do not hit the wheels 11, 12 or incline, but rather they are securely in the by the rails 4, 6 and the Arms 16, 17 formed chambers 26, 27 out. The fork arms of the lift truck are then raised and the attachment 2 is thus raised. The lift truck can be driven to its destination with the attachment 2, while the underframe 1 remains in place. Conversely, an attachment 2 can be put back on the underframe 1 without further ado, the stop plate 18 reliably marking the rear boundary edge when the lift truck moves into the frame part 3 when the attachment 2 hits the stop plate 18. The funnel-shaped arrangement of the rails 4, 5, 6 ensures that the attachment 2 is reliably placed on the horizontal legs 4a, 5a, 6a of the rails 4, 5, 6. After the fork arms of the lift truck have been lowered, it is moved away from under the roll container and the roll container can easily be moved.

Metal parts are preferably used as materials for the underframe 1. Only the wheels ?, 10, 11, 12 are made of plastic or rubber, for example. While the base plate 20 of the

Set 2 is preferably made of wood or plastic, The supports 22 are preferably metal parts, as are the grids 23, 24.

According to the invention, a very robust roll container for Are made available, the role of which is only claimed when it is actually needed will. A roll container according to the invention is simple and Can be manufactured inexpensively and can be moved easily. Exceptional mechanical stress the wheel bearings are omitted, so that a roll container according to the invention has a long service life. Of the Attachment 20 can easily be used, for example, with a standard lift truck with normal lifting height from Underframe 1 is lifted or placed on this, for which purpose the underframe 1 has a correspondingly adapted Overall height, in particular a corresponding size of the wheels 9, 10, 11, 12.

Instead of the wheels 9, 10, 11, 12, according to the invention rollers or, if necessary, skids can also be used.
