Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Taschenbehälter für kleine Gegenstände mit einem Gehäuse, das einen Gehäuseboden, einen Gehäusedeckel und mindestens ein diese Teile miteinander verbindendes Scharnier aufweist. Taschenbehälter mit Scharnieren sind vielseitig bekannt.The invention relates to a pocket container for small objects with a housing which has a housing base, a housing cover and at least one hinge connecting these parts. Pocket containers with hinges are widely known.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Taschenbehälter mit einem in einem Werkzeug herstellbaren, gesondert zwischen Gehäusedeckel und Gehäuseboden anbringbaren Scharnier vorzusehen, das in entsprechende Aussparungen des Gehäusebodens und des Gehäusedeckels unlösbar eindrückbar ist.The object of the invention is to provide a pocket container with a hinge which can be produced in a tool and which can be attached separately between the housing cover and the housing base and which can be non-releasably pressed into corresponding recesses in the housing base and the housing cover.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß ein gesondertes Scharnier aus zwei zueinander spiegelbildlich angeordneten Scharnierhälften gebildet ist, deren abgestufte freie Enden in Ausnehmungen des Gehäusebodens bzw. des damit verbundenen Gehäusedeckels eingesteckt sind.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that a separate hinge is formed from two hinge halves arranged in mirror image to one another, the stepped free ends of which are inserted into recesses in the housing base or the housing cover connected thereto.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist jede Scharnierhälfte einen L-förmigen Querschnitt auf. Dabei können die beiden kürzeren Schenkel der im Querschnitt L-förmig ausgebildeten Scharnierhälften durch einen elastischen Steg miteinander verbunden sein.In a preferred embodiment, each hinge half has an L-shaped cross section. The two shorter legs of the hinge halves, which are L-shaped in cross section, can be connected to one another by an elastic web be.

Bevorzugt und vorteilhaft ist das freie Ende der beiden längeren Schenkel der Scharnierhälften zur Innenseite des kürzeren Schenkels hin winkelförmig angefast, so daß ein Einsteckende entsteht, welches das Einführen der jeweiligen Scharnierhälfte in den Gehäuseboden bzw. Gehäusedeckel erleichtert.The free end of the two longer legs of the hinge halves is preferably and advantageously chamfered angularly toward the inside of the shorter leg, so that an insertion end is created which facilitates the insertion of the respective hinge half into the housing base or housing cover.

Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, den angefasten Schenkel mit einer einstückigen Rastnase derart auszustatten, daß nach dem Einstecken des freien Schenkels eine unlösbare Verbindung besteht.Furthermore, it is preferred to equip the chamfered leg with a one-piece locking lug in such a way that there is an inseparable connection after the free leg has been inserted.

Zum Verbinden des Scharnieres können besondere Aufnahmetaschen in den Gehäuseboden bzw. den Gehäusedeckel eingearbeitet sein, welche die freien Enden des vorbeschriebenen Scharnieres aufnehmen.To connect the hinge, special receiving pockets can be incorporated into the housing base or the housing cover, which receive the free ends of the above-described hinge.

Beide Scharnierhälften sind vorzugsweise mittels eines elastischen Steges gelenkig miteinander verbunden, wobei dieser Steg vorzugsweise als biegsame Folie ausgebildet ist.Both hinge halves are preferably connected to one another in an articulated manner by means of an elastic web, this web preferably being designed as a flexible film.

Eine derartige Ausbildung gestattet es, mit verhältnismäßig wenig Werkzeugen einerseits den Gehäusedeckel und andererseits den Gehäuseboden herzustellen und weiterhin mittels nur eines Werkzeuges das Scharnier herzustellen, das diese beiden vorgenannten Teile verbindet.Such a design makes it possible to produce the housing cover on the one hand and the housing base on the other hand with relatively few tools, and furthermore to produce the hinge by means of only one tool, which connects these two aforementioned parts.

Weitere Merkmale ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further features emerge from the subclaims.

Der Schutz erstreckt sich nicht nur auf die Einzelmerkmale, sondern auch auf deren Kombination.The protection extends not only to the individual features, but also to their combination.

Ein Taschenbehälter für kleine Gegenstände, Geld. o. dgl. hat ein Gehäuse (10), das einen Gehäuseboden (11), einen Gehäusedeckel (12) und mindestens ein diese Teile miteinander verbindenden Scharnier (13) aufweist. Der Gehäuseboden (11) und Gehäusedeckel (12) können dadurch zusammengeklappt bzw. auseinandergeklappt werden. Durch die Zusammenklappbarkeit des Taschenbehälters ist es möglich, diesen vollständig zu verschließen.A pocket container for small items, money. o. The like. Has a housing (10) which has a housing base (11), a housing cover (12) and at least one hinge (13) connecting these parts. The housing base (11) and housing cover (12) can thereby be folded or unfolded. The collapsibility of the pocket container makes it possible to completely close it.

Der Gehäuseboden (11) hat eine in etwa rechteckige Gehäuseplatte (14), die allseits von einem zu ihr in einem rechten Winkel stehenden und einstückig angeformten Rand (15) umgeben ist. Bandseitig sind an der inneren Oberflächenseite, zu dieser in einem Abstand, mit dem Rand (15) einstückig verbundene Aufnahmetaschen (16) angeordnet, die zur inneren Oberflächenseite der Gehäuseplatte (14) senkrecht stehen und mit dieser ebenfalls einstückig verbunden sind.The housing base (11) has an approximately rectangular housing plate (14) which is surrounded on all sides by an edge (15) which is integrally formed and which is at right angles to it. On the hinge side are on the inner surface side, too this is arranged at a distance from the edge (15) integrally connected receiving pockets (16) which are perpendicular to the inner surface side of the housing plate (14) and are also integrally connected to this.

Es entsteht so ein Aufnahmeraum (17), der von einer parallel zum Rand (15) verlaufenden Rippe (18) begrenzt wird. In Längsrichtung des Randes (15) - bandseitig gesehen - wird der Aufnahmeraum (17) durch zwei sich in einem parallelen Abstand gegenüberliegende, die kurze Rippe (18) und den Rand (15) verbindende Rippen (19) begrenzt. Die Stirnflächen der kurzen Rippe (18) und der beiden Rippen (19) liegen dabei mit der Stirnseite des gesamten Randes (15) in einer Ebene, mit Ausnahme eines Bereiches (20) der Stirnfläche des Randes (15), der in Längsrichtung dieses Randes (15) gesehen dieselbe Länge aufweist wie der Aufnahmeraum (17) selbst. Dieser Stirnflächenbereich (20) liegt gegenüber der Stirnfläche des übrigen Randes (15) sowie der kurzen Rippe (18) und der beiden Rippen (19) etwas tiefer. Die kurze Rippe (18) weist eine sie durchdringende Ausnehmung (21) auf, wobei diese Ausnehmung (21) z. B. - wie im Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellt - einen rechteckigen Querschnitt hat. Schloßseitig ist die Stirnseite des Randes (15) mit einer einstückig angeformten, federnd ausgebildeten Rastzunge (22) verbunden. Auf der gesamten stirnseitigen Oberfläche des Randes (15) läuft allseits eine Rippe (23) einstückig um mit Ausnahme des stirnseitigen Bereiches (20) und des Bereiches, in dem die Rastzunge (22) angeordnet ist. Die Wandstärke der Rippe (23) ist dabei etwas geringer als die Wandstärke des Randes (15), wobei die innere Oberfläche der Rippe (23) in die innere Oberfläche des Randes (15) nahtlos übergeht.This creates a receiving space (17) which is delimited by a rib (18) running parallel to the edge (15). In the longitudinal direction of the edge (15) - as seen on the hinge side - the receiving space (17) is delimited by two ribs (19) which are located at a parallel distance from one another and connect the short rib (18) and the edge (15). The end faces of the short rib (18) and the two ribs (19) lie with the end face of the entire edge (15) in one plane, with the exception of a region (20) of the end face of the edge (15) which is in the longitudinal direction of this edge (15) has the same length as the receiving space (17) itself. This end face region (20) lies somewhat lower than the end face of the rest of the edge (15) and the short rib (18) and the two ribs (19). The short rib (18) has a penetrating recess (21), said recess (21) z. B. - as shown in the embodiment - has a rectangular cross section. On the lock side, the end face of the edge (15) is connected to an integrally molded, resilient locking tongue (22). A rib (23) runs in one piece on all sides of the entire end surface of the edge (15), with the exception of the end region (20) and the region in which the latching tongue (22) is arranged. The wall thickness of the rib (23) is slightly less than the wall thickness of the edge (15), the inner surface of the rib (23) merging seamlessly into the inner surface of the edge (15).

Auf der äußeren Oberflächenseite des Randes (15) zeigt dieser schloßseitig eine in Längsrichtung verlaufende, einstückig angeformte und erhaben ausgebildete Griffleiste (24), die in Längsrichtung des Randes (15) auf einem Teil seiner Länge verläuft und an ihrem einen Ende viertel-kreisringförmig ausläuft, wodurch eine Griffmulde (25) für z. B. den Daumen gebildet ist. Das Öffnen des Taschenbehälters wird so auf einfachste Art und Weise erleichtert.On the outer surface side of the edge (15), this shows on the lock side a piece running in the longitudinal direction integrally formed and raised handle bar (24) which runs in the longitudinal direction of the edge (15) over part of its length and at one end ends in a quarter-circular shape, whereby a recessed grip (25) for z. B. the thumb is formed. Opening the pocket container is made easier in the simplest way.

Die Ausführung des Gehäusedeckels (12) entspricht in etwa der Ausführung des zuvor beschriebenen Gehäusebodens (11). Gehäuseboden (11) und Gehäusedeckel (12) sind spiegelbildlich zueinander ausgebildet. Schloßseitig ist von der inneren Oberflächenseite des Randes (15) her eine Einrastausnehmung (26) zur Aufnahme für die Rastzunge (22) eingearbeitet.The design of the housing cover (12) corresponds approximately to the design of the housing base (11) described above. Housing bottom (11) and housing cover (12) are mirror images of each other. On the lock side, a snap-in recess (26) for receiving the snap-in tongue (22) is machined from the inner surface side of the edge (15).

Auf der äußeren Oberfläche des Gehäusedeckels (12) ist eine licht erhabene Platte (27), einstückig mit dem Gehäusedeckel (12) verbunden, angeordnet. Diese ebene Platte (27) dient zur Verstärkung, einerseits des Gehäusedeckels (12), andererseits des gesamten Taschenbehälters, und kann auch als Werbeträger genutzt werden. Die "obere" Ecke der Platte (27) - schloßseitig gesehen - ist in etwa "viertel-ellipsenförmig" bis etwas über die Hälfte der Gesamthöhe der Platte hinweg ausgenommen, so daß die Materialstärke des Gehäusedeckels (12) in diesem Bereich der Materialstärke der Gehäuseplatte (14) des Gehäusebodens (11) entspricht. In diesem Bereich weist der Gehäusedeckel (12) eine durchgehende Bohrung (28) auf, in die eine Platte (29) mittels eines an ihr einstückig angeformten Ansatzes (nicht dargestellt) einsteckbar ist, wobei der Querschnitt des Ansatzes dem Querschnitt der Bohrung entspricht und entsprechend geringfügig im Querschnitt kleiner ausgeführt ist. Der Querschnitt der Platte (29) ist etwas größer als der Querschnitt des an ihr angeformten Ansatzes, so daß die Platte (29) z. B. ringförmig auf der äußeren Oberfläche des Gehäusedeckels (12) aufliegt. Die Befestigung der Platte (29) kann z. B. durch Kleben o. dgl. erfolgen (nicht dargestellt). Die Platte (29) kann wie die Platte (27) z. B. als Werbeträger dienen.On the outer surface of the housing cover (12) there is a light-raised plate (27), which is connected in one piece to the housing cover (12). This flat plate (27) serves for reinforcement, on the one hand of the housing cover (12), on the other hand of the entire pocket container, and can also be used as an advertising medium. The "upper" corner of the plate (27) - seen on the lock side - is approximately "quarter-elliptical" except slightly above half the total height of the plate, so that the material thickness of the housing cover (12) in this area corresponds to the material thickness of the housing plate (14) of the housing base (11) corresponds. In this area, the housing cover (12) has a continuous bore (28) into which a plate (29) can be inserted by means of an attachment (not shown) integrally molded thereon, the cross section of the attachment corresponding to and corresponding to the cross section of the bore is slightly smaller in cross section. The cross section of the plate (29) is slightly larger than the cross section of the molded on it approach, so that the plate (29) z. B. rests in a ring on the outer surface of the housing cover (12). The Attachment of the plate (29) can, for. B. by gluing or the like. (Not shown). The plate (29) as the plate (27) z. B. serve as an advertising medium.

Das den Gehäuseboden (11) und den Gehäusedeckel (12) gelenkig bzw. auf- oder aber zuklappbar miteinander verbindende Scharnier (13) besteht aus zwei zueinander spiegel-bildlich angeordneten Scharnierhälften. Jede dieser beiden Scharnierhälften weist einen L-förmigen Querschnitt auf, wobei die beiden kürzeren Schenkel der im Querschnitt L-förmig ausgebildeten Scharnierhälften durch einen elastischen Steg (30) miteinander verbunden sind. Das freie Ende der beiden längeren Schenkel der Scharnierhälften ist zur Innenseite des kürzeren Schenkels hin winkelförmig angefast, wodurch ein Einsteckende (31) entsteht, welches das Einführen der jeweiligen Scharnierhälfte in die Aufnahmetasche (16) erleichtert. Auf der äußeren Oberflächenseite des längeren Schenkels der im Querschnitt L-förmig ausgebildeten Scharnierhälfte ist eine Rastnase (32) einstückig angeordnet, die eine zur äußeren Oberfläche des längeren Schenkels hin sich erstreckende Fase (33) aufweist, wobei die Fase (33) vom kürzeren Schenkel wegweist. Durch das angefaste Einsteckende (31) sowohl als auch durch die Fase (33) der Rastnase (32) wird das Einführen der Scharnierhälfte in den Aufnahmeraum (17) der Aufnahmetasche (16) entsprechend erleichtert. Der in Fig. 6 dargestellte Querschnitt des gesamten Scharniers (13) zeigt das Scharnier (13) in einer den Gehäuseboden mit dem Gehäusedeckel nicht verbindenden Lage.The hinge (13), which connects the housing base (11) and the housing cover (12) in an articulated manner or can be opened or closed, consists of two hinge halves which are arranged in mirror-image relation to one another. Each of these two hinge halves has an L-shaped cross section, the two shorter legs of the hinge halves, which are L-shaped in cross section, being connected to one another by an elastic web (30). The free end of the two longer legs of the hinge halves is angularly chamfered towards the inside of the shorter leg, thereby creating an insertion end (31) which facilitates the insertion of the respective hinge half into the receiving pocket (16). On the outer surface side of the longer leg of the hinge half, which has an L-shaped cross section, a latching lug (32) is arranged in one piece, which has a chamfer (33) extending towards the outer surface of the longer leg, the chamfer (33) from the shorter leg points away.
