AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a transport container with a cover and locking mechanism. The cover and locking elements have large contact surfaces, which reduces material wear and deformation. The locking elements can be easily gripped and manually moved from the locked position. The container has a receiving space that prevents liquids from escaping. A presentation plate can be added for easy display of the food. The technical effects of the invention include improved durability and security, as well as improved user experience and flexibility in design options.

Problems solved by technology

Some of these foods are very sensitive to the acting forces and therefore have to be correctly and carefully shielded in the transport container.
This does not always work at the first attempt, so that several attempts are required in order to lock a cover securely.
Since additionally via the large actuating surface a large force may be applied onto the relatively small locking body, there is the risk that the locking bodies in the contact region are overloaded, are deformed and become loose.
Then the cover is no longer able to be locked securely.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]A food container 2 which is able to be substantially made up of a base part 4 and a cover 6 which is able to be positioned thereon is shown in FIG. 1. In order to prevent the cover 6 from being inadvertently released during transport, the base part 4 is able to be locked together with the cover 6 via the locking elements 8. With a secure locking, the food container 2 may also be carried on its carry handle located in the cover 6.

[0031]The locking elements 8 in each case are pivotable about a pivot pin 10. In order to pivot the locking elements 8, the cover 6 is lowered with the actuating lugs 18 located on the bottom edge of the cover 6 on the bottom side onto the respective actuating surface 12 located at the first end of a locking element 8. With a further lowering of the cover 6 along a lowering path into the receiving space 16, the respective actuating lug 18 presses down the actuating surface 12 of a locking element 8 assigned thereto. By the downward movement of the actu...

Abstract

A portable food container has a plate-shaped base part and a cover to be positioned on the base part. Locking elements are provided on the base part and are movable in each case via a fixed pivot pin connected to the base part. Contact surfaces are configured on the locking elements and the locking elements are non-positively and / or positively in engagement with corresponding contact surfaces on the cover in the locked position. With a lowering movement into the base part and through downwardly facing actuating lugs, the cover actuates the locking elements which move at the same time out of the open position into their locked position.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a portable food container having a plate-shaped base part and a cover which is able to be positioned onto the base part, locking elements which are movable in each case via a fixed pivot pin being connected to the base part, the base part and the cover being able to be connected together by the locking elements, wherein the locking elements are pivotable to and fro about the associated pivot pin between an open position and a locked position, the respective pivot pin being located between the ends of the associated locking element, a first end of one respective locking element remote from the pivot pin being configured as an actuating surface and the opposing second end being configured as a locking body, the locking elements in their locked position with the locking body configured on the second end blocking a lift-off movement of the cover from the base part and, via contact surfaces configured on the locking elemen...
