Description
[0028] The innovation will be further explained below with the help of the attached drawings. They show:
[0029] FIG. 1 a perspective representation of the storage box according to the innovation without a cover,
[0030] FIG. 2 a perspective representation of the storage box according to the innovation with a cover,
[0031] FIG. 3 a side view of the storage box according to the innovation without a cover,
[0032] FIG. 4 a side view of the storage box according to the innovation with a cover and overfolded elastic tension elements in the edge areas of the sidewalls,
[0033] FIG. 5 a perspective interior view of the storage box according to the innovation with more than one elastic tension element,
[0034] FIG. 6 a 90? rotated perspective representation of an implementation of the storage box according to the innovation and
[0035] FIG. 7 a perspective representation of an implementation of the storage box according to the innovation with an alternative attachment option for the elastic tension element with a preferred adjustable preload.
[0036] FIG. 1 shows a perspective representation of the storage box 10 according to the innovation without a cover, in which an elastic tension element 20 is guided through recesses 12. The recesses 12 are provided in the sidewalls 11 and can be designed as holes or millings. In addition, further recesses 13 can be provided in a bottom area of the storage box, via which the storage box can be attached, for example, to a surface such as a wall.
[0037] As shown in FIG. 1, the elastic tension element is guided along the side walls 11 on an inner side of the storage box 10 and in the corner areas on an outer side. This provides support means for a cover 30 along the individual side walls through the internal areas of the elastic tension element 20.
[0038] FIG. 2 shows the storage box 10 according to the invention with a cover 30 arranged thereon, which is fixed on the storage box 10 over the elastic tension elements in the edge areas of the side walls. For this, the elastic tension elements 20 are turned over the cover 30 in the corner areas of the main body. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, several recesses 12 can be provided along a side wall 11, whereby an overlap length of the elastic element in the area of the edges of the storage box can be adjusted. The cover 30 rests on the internal elastic tension elements 20.
[0039] FIG. 3 shows a side view of the storage box 10 according to the invention, in which in an edge area, i.e. where two side walls 11 meet, the elastic tension element 20 is guided on an outer side of the side walls 11.
[0040] FIG. 4 is a side view according to FIG. 2, which shows how the elastic tension elements 20 are turned over the cover 30, which is located on the main body of the storage box 10, for its attachment.
[0041] FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the inside of the main body of the storage box 10 according to the invention. According to an alternative design, the elastic tension element 20 is not continuous but is provided in sections along the side walls. One of the tension elements 20 with corresponding fastening bodies 40, which can be designed as thickening, is shown as representative. In principle, an elastic tension element 20 can also be guided along all side walls on their inner sides according to the design according to FIG. 5.
[0042] FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of the design of the storage box 10 according to the invention, rotated by 90? compared to FIG. 5, in which an elastic tension element is provided on opposite sides of the main body of the storage box 10. Each of the elastic tension elements has a fastening body 40 in their end areas, by means of which the elastic tension element is fixed in the recesses 12 of the main body. According to FIG. 6, there are shown just two elastic tension elements provided on opposite sides. In principle, according to the illustrated fastening method, elastic tension elements can also extend over more than one side or, for example, four separate elastic tension elements can be provided, which can each be provided on the main body of the storage box 10 by means of a fastening body 40.
[0043] FIG. 7 shows a special implementation of the present innovation, in which a single elastic tension element 20 is guided circumferentially and ornamentally in, on, and around the sidewalls of the storage box 10. The ends of the elastic tension element are fixed via a special fastening body 41, by means of which the preload of the elastic element can be adjusted. The special fastening body 41 can be provided with a spring-loaded locking member, which, when actuated, releases the ends of the elastic tension element 20 and is therefore adjustable in length. This allows the preload of the elastic tension element and thus its holding properties to be adjustable. The special element 41 for adjustable preload of the elastic tension element can also be provided when multiple elastic tension elements are provided in sections along the sidewalls, as can be seen, for example, from FIG. 6.
