Lid stay for a transport container

Abstract

A lid stay for a transport container. The lid stay has at least one bearing unit, at least one guide unit and at least one swivel bracket. The lid stay can be moved at least between a locking position and a transport position. Furthermore, the guide unit has at least one latching element. In the locking position, the swivel bracket interacts with the latching element in such a way that the lid stay is held in the locking position. The latching element causes at least a temporary elastic deformation of the swivel bracket when the lid stay is moved between the locking position and the transport position.

1 . A lid stay for a transport container, with at least one bearing unit, at least one guide unit, and at least one swivel bracket,
 wherein the lid stay is movable at least between a locking position and a transport position,   wherein the guide unit has at least one latching element,   wherein the swivel bracket is pivotably mounted on the bearing unit and guided on the guide unit, and the swivel bracket interacts with the latching element in the locking position in such a way that the lid stay is held in the locking position,   wherein at least the latching element causes at least a temporary elastic deformation of the swivel bracket when the lid stay is moved between the locking position and the transport position.   
     
     
         2 . The lid stay according to  claim 1 , wherein the latching element and the swivel bracket interact in a force-fit manner in the locking position. 
     
     
         3 . The lid stay according to  claim 1 , wherein the latching element has at least one guide contour arranged laterally on the latching element ( 10 ) in plan view, and that during a movement of the lid stay between the locking position and the transport position, the guide contour causes an elastic deformation of a swivel bracket leg of the swivel bracket. 
     
     
         4 . The lid stay according to  claim 3 , wherein the guide contour has at least one indentation, and in that the swivel bracket leg, is at least partially accommodated in the indentation in the locking position. 
     
     
         5 . The lid stay according to  claim 4 , wherein the shape of the indentation is a negative shape of the outer contour of the swivel bracket leg in the locking position. 
     
     
         6 . The lid stay according to  claim 4 , wherein the indentation has at least one support projection, and in that the support projection extends in an edge region of the indentation. 
     
     
         7 . The lid stay according to  claim 3 , wherein the guide contour has at least one insertion section that is at least partially curved. 
     
     
         8 . The lid stay according to  claim 3 , wherein in the locking position, the swivel bracket is arranged at least partially between an edge of the guide unit and the guide contour, so that the swivel bracket deforms elastically at least partially in the direction of the edge of the guide unit during a movement between the locking position and the transport position. 
     
     
         9 . The lid stay according to  claim 3 , wherein the guide contour projects at least partially from a lateral edge of the guide unit, and in that the latching element points towards the swivel bracket so that the swivel bracket deforms elastically away from the lateral edge of the guide unit during a movement between the locking position and the transport position. 
     
     
         10 . The lid stay according to  claim 1 , wherein the guide unit has at least one collar, and that the latching element is arranged in a collar recess. 
     
     
         11 . The lid stay according to  claim 1 , wherein the guide unit has a guide element and that the latching element is designed as a component different from the guide element, in that the latching element is detachably connected or riveted to the guide element, or that the latching element is formed in one piece with the guide element. 
     
     
         12 . The lid stay according to  claim 1 , wherein the swivel bracket formed in one piece. 
     
     
         13 . The lid stay according to  claim 11 , wherein the swivel bracket has at least one opening, provided on a swivel bracket base, which is arranged between the guide element and the latching element, and/or the latching element is arranged within the opening. 
     
     
         14 . The lid stay according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid stay further comprises at least one hinge, and that the hinge is arranged laterally adjacent to the bearing unit and the guide unit, and/or that the hinge is arranged between the bearing unit and the guide unit, and/or that the latching element is arranged at least partially between the hinge and the guide unit or between the hinge and the bearing unit. 
     
     
         15 . A transport container comprising:
 at least one transport container body,   at least one transport container lid, and   at least one lid stay according to  claim 1 ,   wherein the lid stay connects the transport container body and the transport container lid, with the bearing unit being attached to the transport container lid and the guide unit being attached to the transport container body.   
     
     
         16 . The lid stay according to  claim 4 , wherein the swivel bracket leg is only accommodated in the indentation in the locking position. 
     
     
         17 . The lid stay according to  claim 7 , wherein preferably the swivel bracket moves at least partially along the curved insertion section during a movement between the locking position and the transport position. 
     
     
         18 . The lid stay according to  claim 11 , wherein the latching element has at least one latching element base unit and at least one latching unit. 
     
     
         19 . The lid stay according to  claim 11 , wherein in the locking position the swivel bracket is in latching engagement with the latching unit. 
     
     
         20 . The lid stay according to  claim 12 , wherein the swivel bracket is formed with rounded corners.
