Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
A box-type transport container of an electrically driven transport car with a lockable cover which exhibits lateral side pieces depending from a covering plate and overlapping exterior surfaces of the walls of the transport container in the seating area, characterized in that the cover (8) is seated against the wall (1) by means of two pegs (6) arranged in alignment with one another and guided in a respective slot (2) in such manner that, after releasing the locking, the cover (8) is rotated by approximately 90° in conjunction with a relative motion between pegs (6) and slots (2) in the longitudinal direction of the slots (2) and is positively locked in this position by means of the abutment of the cover (8) against an end area of the transport container and abutment of the pegs (6) against the contour of the slots (2).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A box-type transport container of an electrically driven transport car with a lockable cover which exhibits lateral side pieces depending from a covering plate and overlapping exterior surfaces of the walls of the transport container in the seating area, characterized in that the cover (8) is seated against the wall (1) by means of two pegs (6) arranged in alignment with one another and guided in a respective slot (2) in such manner that, after releasing the locking, the cover (8) is rotated by approximately 90° in conjunction with a relative motion between pegs (6) and slots (2) in the longitudinal direction of the slots (2) and is positively locked in this position by means of the abutment of the cover (8) against an end area of the transport container and abutment of the pegs (6) against the contour of the slots (2).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A box-type transport container according to claim 1, characterized in that the pegs (6) are arranged on the lateral side pieces (9).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A box-type transport container according to claim 1, characterized in that, after the rotation of the cover (8), the exterior surface of the end area of the covering plate (10) abuts against the interior surface of the end wall (4).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
58 words
A box-type transport container according to claim 1, characterized in that a respective notch (11) with a width corresponding at least to the thickness of the side wall (1) of the transport container is provided in the end area of the cover (8) in the transitional zone between the covering plate (10) and the lateral side pieces (9).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A box-type transport container according to claim 4, characterized in that, in the open position, the cover rests on the end wall of the transport container with the bottoms of its notches (11).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
58 words
A box-type transport container according to claim 1, characterized in that, after rotation of the cover, the interior surface of a first end area of the covering plate abuts against the exterior surface of the end wall and the slots exhibit a blocking edge against which the pegs abut after rotation, in the sense of a positive lock.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
42 words
A box-type transport container according to claim 1, characterized in that a second end area of the cover (8) is seated by means of two pegs (7, 7') arranged in alignment with one another and guided in a respective slot (3, 3').
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
66 words
A box-type transport container according to claim 7, characterized in that the length of the slots (2, 3) and/or the position of the pegs (6; 7, 7') in both end areas are adapted to one another in such manner that only the pages (7, 7') of the second end area can be removed from the appertaining slots (3, 3') upon displacement of the non-rotated cover (8).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
32 words
A box-type transport container according to claim 7, characterized in that the slots (2) in a first end area are dimensioned longer than the slots (3, 3') in the second end area.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
41 words
A box-type transport container according to claim 1, characterized in that a locking bar (12) preventing a rotation of the cover (8) is seated on a second end wall (5) lying opposite an end wall (4) allocated to the end area.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
33 words
A box-type transport container according to claim 10, characterized in that the locking bar (12) is designed as an actuating element of a contact installation monitoring the locked state of the cover (8).
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
48 words
A box-type transport container according to claim 11, characterized in that the cover exhibits a spring in the second end area which spring displaces the cover in the non-locked state to such a degree that the pegs of the second end area lie outside of the appertaining slots.
