Stackable system container and transport system
Known system containers or transport systems have the disadvantage that a precise prior adjustment is necessary for the purpose of connecting the same. The disclosed system container or transport system is configured in such a way that a particularly stable and intuitive mutual fastening is made possible. Runways of the system container project in the direction of each other, and at least one upwardly protruding locking lug is provided on the lid part.
1. A system of interconnecting stackable containers comprising:
a lower container; and
an upper container configured for stacking on the lower container and connecting thereto, wherein the lower container includes:
a bottom part;
a lid part pivotably attached to the bottom part;
two spaced-apart guide rails on an upper surface of the lid part for form-fittingly receiving the upper container, with the guide rails each having a runway, the runways protruding toward each other and configured to be engaged by the upper container; and
at least one upwardly protruding locking lug disposed on the lid part and integrally formed in one of the guide rails, the at least one locking lug having a flattened portion in a push-in direction so as to cause the upper container to be automatically raised during insertion, and
wherein the upper container includes:
a lid part;
a bottom part having two running rails disposed thereon; and
a locking stop formed in a lateral recess of the bottom part.
2. The system of interconnecting stackable containers of claim 1 , wherein the guide rails are aligned parallel to each other.
3. The system of interconnecting stackable containers of claim 1 , wherein the runways of the guide rails each have at least one recess.
4. The system of interconnecting stackable containers of claim 1 , wherein an additional guide rail is disposed on the lid part of the lower container between the two guide rails.
5. The system of interconnecting stackable containers of claim 1 , wherein the guide rails are integrally formed in the lid part of the lower container.
6. The system of interconnecting stackable containers of claim 1 , wherein the running rails are formed to be complementary to the guide rails.
7. The system of interconnecting stackable containers of claim 1 , wherein the running rails are formed by edges of bottom plates of the bottom part of the upper container and wherein the edges protrude laterally from opposite side walls of the bottom part of the upper container.
8. The system of interconnecting stackable containers of claim 1 , wherein the running rails each have a recess.
9. The system of interconnecting stackable containers of claim 1 , wherein a distance between an upper edge of the running rail and a lower edge of the locking stop of the upper container is greater than a height of the at least one locking lug.
10. A transport system comprising:
at least one system container; and
a second container,
wherein the at least one system container includes a lid part on which guide rails each having a runway are disposed, which runways are engaged from behind and held by complementary running rails of the second container,
the runways protrude toward each other, and
at least one upwardly protruding locking lug is disposed on the lid part, is integrally formed in one of the guide rails, and has a flattened portion in a push-in direction so as to cause the second container to be automatically raised during insertion and to guide the second container in a pull-out direction, and
wherein the second container includes a locking stop configured for insertion into a rear locking position, and
wherein a distance between an upper edge of the running rails of the second container and a lower edge of the locking stop of the second container is greater than a height of the at least one locking lug of the at least one system container.
11. The transport system of claim 10 , wherein the locking stop is formed on one of the running rails.
12. The transport system of claim 10 , wherein the flattened portion of the at least one locking lug, on contact of the at least one locking lug and the locking stop during insertion, causes the second container to be automatically raised such that the locking stop overrides the at least one locking lug during insertion.
