    The present invention relates to a roll container for transporting goods. Such roll containers are used, among other things, for the delivery and removal of products within and between companies.
    From practice various roll containers for the transport of goods are known. These roll containers use a support plane, can be placed on the goods and with side walls, for example in the form of a grid, are attached to or on the support plane. In addition, the support level is provided for wheeled mobility.
    A problem with known roll containers is that they have to be returned empty regularly. This means that a relatively large volume has to be transported. Also claim such a roll container relatively much storage space. Therefore, there are in practice roll container with hinged and retractable floors, the floors are often folded in a rest position of the roll container against the side walls. A problem that arises is that this can lead to unstable collapsed roll containers in the rest position, which are also difficult to handle.
    The present invention is intended to solve or at least reduce the abovementioned problems.
    To this end, the present invention provides a roll container which, according to the invention, comprises: a support structure having a support surface for carrying loads, the support surface being provided with a support frame; - attached to the support structure rolling elements; one or more side walls connected to the support frame, adjustable with hinges between a use position and a rest position or detachable, the support frame being provided with a plurality of stands extending mainly in the vertical direction, so that in the rest position another roll container for the mainly vertical ones Stacking of individual roll container can be made, and the support frame is executed in the rest position in the horizontal plane in such a U-shaped configuration that individual roll containers are mainly nestable horizontally.
    By forming a support surface or a support plane with the support structure, the goods to be transported can be loaded thereon. The support structure is provided with a support frame to carry the weight of the goods can. The frame can form the wing. Optionally, the support structure comprises a physical plane, for example in the form of a plate or a board.
    Due to the equipment with rolling elements, which are attached to the support structure, the roll container is easily mobile. By having sidewalls, for example in the form of hangers or a grid, a large amount of goods can be transported in an effective and secure manner. By providing such side walls with hinges or being removable, with the side walls in a use position extending mainly in the vertical direction, the occupied volume of the roll container in a rest position can be significantly reduced.
    In addition, by providing the support frame with a plurality of uprights which are used in a vertical direction, individual roll containers can be stacked in the vertical position in the rest position. This gives the invention a stackable container. By making the side walls removable or hinged, the volume that a single
    Roll container in the use position occupies, with mainly vertical side walls, are used in the rest position for storage of multiple roll container. Thus, an effective stacking in a vertical direction of individual rolling containers is achieved in the rest position.
    In addition, by carrying out the support frame in the rest position predominantly in a horizontal plane in a mainly U-shaped configuration, individual roll containers are nestable in a mainly horizontal plane. In a currently preferred embodiment, the support frame according to the invention is transformed from a rectangular shape into a U-shape when changing from the use position to the rest position. In an alternative embodiment, the support frame according to the invention can be configured exclusively in a U-shape. By carrying out a roll container nestable in the horizontal plane with other roll containers, the required transport volume or the storage volume of the roll container can be significantly reduced.
    Mainly due to the combined effect of the vertical stacking and the horizontal nestability of the roll container, a very large reduction of the storage volume and / or the transport volume is achieved according to the invention.
    An additional advantage of the roll container is according to the invention that in a presently preferred embodiment it is also mobile in a stacked position, which means that the roll container located on the bottom surface is mobile while one roll container or several other roll containers are stacked thereon. This simplifies a safe transport and safe storage of the roll container in the rest position according to the invention.
    The airfoil or the support plane may consist of a physical plate or a physical board, which is mainly horizontally oriented in a use position. As an alternative, goods can also lie directly in the rest position on the support frame by the dimensions of the roll container are tailored to the goods to be transported. Thus, the number of accessories of the roll container is further limited and the nestable stacking of the individual roll containers in the horizontal plane is simplified.
    In an advantageous preferred embodiment, the roll container according to the present invention is designed with a hinged short side of the support frame, so that the support frame is adjustable from a substantially rectangular shape in the use position to the mainly U-shaped configuration in the rest position.
    By configuring the carrying frame in the use position in a rectangular shape in a preferred embodiment, a stable rolling container is obtained. By providing a short side with a hinge or a folding device, the roll container is adjustable when changing from the use position to the rest position, and in a preferred embodiment, it can be displaced mainly vertically against one of the stands, so that a U-shape for the support frame remains. Such a U-shaped configuration is easily nestable in the horizontal plane.
    In an advantageous preferred embodiment according to the present invention, the support frame mainly defines the outer contour of the roll container in the mainly horizontal plane.
    The fact that the carrying frame mainly forms the outer contour results in a stable construction that can be easily loaded with goods. In a currently preferred embodiment, no separate support element in the form of a plate or a board is designed. Such a preferred roll container according to the invention is particularly advantageous for use for the transport of goods with such fixed dimensions that they are tailored to the allowance of the roll container, or vice versa. Further, by performing the stands preferably at or near the corner of the support frame, another roll container can be effectively placed on these stands in the rest position. Among other things, the length of the uprights is tailored to the dimensions of the rolling elements, for example the wheels, so that the support frame of the overhead roll container preferably rests completely on the uprights of the roll container located therebelow. This enables a stable vertical stacking of a plurality of roll containers, wherein the stack is preferably movable by using the rolling elements of the lowermost roll container.
    In a further advantageous preferred embodiment according to the present invention, the side walls of the roll container in a rest position occupy a position between the uprights of the support frame which is mainly parallel to the support surface. By the side walls are set in the rest position in a mainly horizontal position between the uprights of the support frame, obtained in the rest position, a compact roll container. Preferably, the side walls are provided with hinges on the uprights of the support frame. Hereby, the side walls of the roll container according to the invention are easy to adjust from the use position to the rest position and vice versa. By the side walls in the rest position occupy a space between the uprights of the support frame, avoids protruding parts of the roll container and the roll container is made compact in the rest position.
    Preferably, the side walls are in a rest position under the top of the uprights. This achieves that in the rest position, a further compact form of the roll container is realized. It is also achieved that an overhead roll container completely rests on the uprights of the underlying roll container. By these stands are preferably carried out at or near the vertices of the support frame, one obtains a stable stacking of rolling containers, which is additionally preferably mobile.
    In a further advantageous preferred embodiment according to the present invention, the stands are provided with connecting means, so that the side walls can be set in a stable position of use.
    By the use of connecting means it is achieved that the side walls, for example in the form of brackets from a rest position in which the side walls rest mainly horizontally on the support frame, can be adjusted to a mainly vertical position, with a connector providing a stable position , This connector provides in a presently preferred embodiment for a connection between the side wall and the stator, which is formed on the one hand preferably by a hinge and on the other hand by said connecting means.
    Preferably, the connecting means are designed as a pin and slot connection. In a preferred embodiment, the side wall is provided with a pin or rod which can be fitted in a slot-shaped recess in the stand. Thus, a stable position can be realized, wherein the side walls can not fold so easily or the hinge can make a rotary motion.
    In a currently preferred embodiment, a stand of the side wall is located in a tubular profile of the stand of the support frame, so that one also achieves lateral stability. When changing the side wall from the use position to the rest position, the side wall must be slightly raised, whereby the hinge element also moves slightly in the vertical direction and the pin can be moved out of the slot, whereupon made a rotational movement with the hinge or a rotating movement can be. This gives the invention an easy-to-use and compact construction of the roll container.
    The side walls are configured in a currently preferred embodiment on the short sides of the support frame. This gives a so-called "potato-vegetable-fruit". (AGF) Execution of the roll container. Optionally, it is possible to hang a rear wall and / or front wall, so to speak, between the two side walls or to attach portable to one of these side walls. This makes it possible to realize a closed roll container.
    The present invention further relates to a method for transporting and / or storing roll containers. The operation includes: the equipment with several roll containers; the folding or removal of the side walls; the realization of a U-shaped support frame in the
    Rest position; the stacking of the roll containers in a vertical direction, and / or the nestable stacking of the roll containers in a horizontal direction.
    Such a method offers the same effects and advantages as described for the roll container. In particular, the required storage volume and / or the transport volume of the roll container is greatly reduced by this method according to the invention. Preferably, individual roll containers are stacked in the rest position both in the vertical direction and nestable nestable in the horizontal direction. This can reduce logistics costs. In addition, you get a roll container that can be transported and / or stored in the rest position in a stable and safe manner.
    Preferably, the collapse of the sidewalls comprises the rotational movement of the sidewalls about the hinges between the mainly vertical use position and the mainly horizontal rest position. This results in a compact and relatively simple construction for the roll container, which the user can easily transform between the different positions. In a currently preferred embodiment, the support frame according to the invention is transformed from a rectangular shape into a U-shape when changing from the use position to the rest position. In an alternative embodiment, the support frame according to the invention can be configured exclusively in a U-shaped configuration.
