Corner fitting for box-like structures on transport pallets

Abstract

A corner fitting for box-like structures on transport pallets, which fitting connects two respective side wall elements of stackable side wall frames for the box-like structure using an articulated connection along an articulation axis and has an aligning element for aligning the side wall frame relative to the transport pallet or to another adjacent side wall frame. The aligning element is embodied in the form of a locking element, which can be moved perpendicular to the articulation axis between a locking position and a release position and is situated in a first end region of the articulated connection, and a receiving pocket with a locking opening for the locking element of another corner fitting is provided in the opposite, second end region of the articulated connection. With the aid of the invention, a corner fitting is implemented which allows an easy reciprocal alignment of side wall frames and transport pallets and facilitates repeated assembly of box-like structures on transport pallets, as well as the loading thereof.

1 . A corner fitting for box-like structures on transport pallets, which fitting connects two respective side wall elements of stackable side wall frames for the box-like structure using an articulated connection along an articulation axis, the fitting comprising:
 an aligning element for aligning the side wall frame relative to the transport pallet or to another adjacent side wall frame, wherein the aligning element is a locking element, which can be moved perpendicular to the articulation axis between a locking position and a release position and is situated in a first end region of the articulated connection, and a receiving pocket with a locking opening for the locking element of another corner fitting is provided in an opposite, second end region of the articulated connection.   
     
     
         2 . The corner fitting according to  claim 1 , wherein the locking element is a locking bolt that is guided in a housing and is prestressed perpendicular to the articulation axis. 
     
     
         3 . The corner fitting according to  claim 1 , further comprising a removable cover plate, which has a conical projection protruding parallel to the articulation axis. 
     
     
         4 . A side wall frame comprising a corner fitting according to  claim 1 .
