Abstract

1. Container, in particular a suitcase, with at least one rectangular cover wall (2), which is connected to the side walls (6, 8) adjacent to it by rounded edges (14, 16) and corners (22), in which the wall (2) including its edges (14, 16) and corners (22) is made from permanently plastic moulded smooth material, the rounded edges (14, 16) being formed by shaped side walls (6, 8) connected integrally with the wall, which have end sections (26, 28) bent towards each other but leaving a gap (34) of constant width, the gaps (34) being sealed by sections (36) fastened into them, characterised by the fact that the sections (36) each consist of two T-sections (36), which together form a double T-section and the transverse webs (38, 40) of which overlap the side walls (6, 8) from the inside and from the outside, and that the outer transverse webs (40) are provided with extensions (44), which project beyond the ends of the gaps (34) in one direction of extension and are fixed to the cover wall (2).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein Behälter dieser Art ist nach der GB-A-742 492 bekannt. Dort weisen die Profile Auflageflächen für die Seitenwände auf. Zusätzliche konvexe Flächen an den Profilen bilden die abgerundeten Ecken. Die Profile sind nicht nur verhältnismäßig; kompliziert herzustellen, sondern gestatten auch keine sichere Befestigung der Seitenwände.A container of this type is known from GB-A-742 492. There the profiles have contact surfaces for the side walls. The rounded corners form additional convex surfaces on the profiles. The profiles are not only proportional; complicated to manufacture, but also do not allow secure attachment of the side walls.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, Profile anzugeben, die einfach herzustellen sind und eine sichere Befestigung in den Schlitzen gestatten.The object of the invention is to provide profiles that are easy to manufacture and allow secure attachment in the slots.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist in Anspruch 1 angegeben. Kofferkanten aus Doppel-T-Profilen sind zwar nach der DE-C-827 229 und nach der FR-A-1 544 543 bekannt. Diese Doppel-T-Profile sind jedoch nicht biegsam und nicht mit Verlängerungen ihrer äußeren Querstege versehen, die an der Deckelwand zu befestigen sind.The solution to this problem is specified in claim 1. Case edges made of double-T profiles are known from DE-C-827 229 and from FR-A-1 544 543. However, these double-T profiles are not flexible and are not provided with extensions of their outer transverse webs, which are to be fastened to the cover wall.

Besonders hat sich das Material nach Anspruch 2 bewährt.The material according to claim 2 has proven particularly useful.

Bevorzugt sind die Doppel-T-Profile aus zwei T-Profilen gemäß Anspruch 3 oder Anspruch 4 gebildet.The double T profiles are preferably formed from two T profiles according to claim 3 or claim 4.

Eine besonders einfache und sichere Befestigung der Profile ist in Anspruch 5 angegeben.A particularly simple and secure attachment of the profiles is specified in claim 5.

Um die Profile einfach biegen zu können, ohne daß sie sich wellen, ist bevorzugt eine Ausbildung nach Anspruch 6 vorgesehen.In order to be able to easily bend the profiles without them curling, an embodiment according to claim 6 is preferably provided.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden an einem Ausführungsbeispiel unter Hinweis auf die beigefügten Zeichnungen beschrieben.

  • Fig. 1 zeigt einen Koffer in perspektivischer Ansicht, teilweise fortgebrochen.
  • Fig. 2 zeigt eine Eckenausbildung vor dem Hineinstecken des Doppel-T-Profils in den Schlitz.
  • Fig. 3 zeigt die Eckenausbildung mit eingeschobenem Doppel-T-Profil.
  • Fig. 4 zeigt einen Schnitt längs der Linie IV-IV in Fig. 3.
The invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.
  • Fig. 1 shows a suitcase in perspective view, partially broken away.
  • Fig. 2 shows a corner formation before inserting the double-T profile in the slot.
  • Fig. 3 shows the corner formation with inserted double T-profile.
  • FIG. 4 shows a section along the line IV-IV in FIG. 3.

Der Koffer nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel weist eine Deckelwand 2 und eine Bodenwand 4 sowie an diese angrenzende Seitenwände 6, 8, 10, 12 auf. Die Deckelwand 2 und die Bodenwand 4 sind mit den an sie angrenzenden Seitenwänden 6, 8, 10, 12 über abgerundete Kanten 14, 16, 18, 20 und Ecken 22, 24 verbunden.The case according to the exemplary embodiment has a top wall 2 and a bottom wall 4 as well as side walls 6, 8, 10, 12 adjoining these. The top wall 2 and the bottom wall 4 are connected to the side walls 6, 8, 10, 12 adjoining them via rounded edges 14, 16, 18, 20 and corners 22, 24.

Da alle Ecken gleichartig ausgebildet sind, wird im folgenden nur die Ausbildung im Bereich der Ecke 22 erörtert.Since all corners are designed in the same way, only the training in the area of corner 22 is discussed below.

Bevor der in Fig. 2 dargestellte Zustand erreicht ist, bestehen die Deckelwand 2 und die beiden Seitenwände 6, 8 aus ebenem Material. Die Endteile 26, 28 weisen dabei Stirnkanten 30, 32 auf, die so gekrümmt sind, daß nach dem Verformen des ebenen Materials ein Schlitz 34 konstanter Weite entsteht. In diesen Schlitz 34 wird ein um seine Längsachse rechtwinkliges Doppel-T-Profil 36 geschoben, das im vorliegenden Fall einstückig dargestellt ist, aber aus obengenannten Gründen zweistückig ausgebildet sein kann. Da der innere Quersteg 38 dieses hier einstückigen Doppel-T-Profils stärker gebogen werden muß als der äußere Quersteg 40, ist er mit Einkerbungen 42 versehen. Das Doppel-T-Profil weist eine sich ein kurzes Stück über die Außenseite der Wand 2 erstreckende Querstegverlängerung 44 auf, die mit einem Nietloch 46 versehen ist und mit einem Niet 48 an der Deckelwand 2 befestigt ist.Before the state shown in FIG. 2 is reached, the cover wall 2 and the two side walls 6, 8 are made of flat material. The end parts 26, 28 have end edges 30, 32 which are curved such that a slot 34 of constant width is formed after the flat material has been deformed. A double T-profile 36, which is rectangular about its longitudinal axis, is pushed into this slot 34, which is shown in one piece in the present case, but can be formed in two pieces for the reasons mentioned above. Since the inner crosspiece 38 of this one-piece double-T profile has to be bent more than the outer crosspiece 40, it is provided with notches 42. The double-T profile has a short web extension 44 which extends a short distance beyond the outside of the wall 2 and is provided with a rivet hole 46 and is fastened to the cover wall 2 with a rivet 48.

Aus Fig. 4 ist erkennbar, daß das Wandmaterial des Koffers ein Schichtmaterial ist. Die Schichtfolge besteht bevorzugt aus Aluminium 50, Preßstoff 52, Aluminium 54.From Fig. 4 it can be seen that the wall material of the case is a layer material. The layer sequence preferably consists of aluminum 50, pressed material 52, aluminum 54.
