Publication number: 20230373684Abstract: A height-adjustable frame (1) for a pallet (P) and for accommodating an insert (3) for goods has supports (2) including an upper element (6) and a lower element (7), which are connected to one another by means of a hinge (8). By means of the hinge (8), the lower element and the upper elements (6, 7) can be pivoted towards one another and away from one another. In a first position, the upper element and lower element (6, 7) have been moved towards one another and the support (2) forms a maximum height. In a second position, the lower element (7) has been pivoted away from the upper element (6), the support (2) forms a sub-height. A height adjustment makes it possible for goods of different sizes to be transported by means of an insert (3), which is fastened on the frame (1). The height adjustment is easy to achieve and allows goods to be transported using inserts (3) of different depths and also allows empty transportation with a smaller volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2021Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: GEORG UTZ HOLDING AGInventors: Patrick KÜNNEMANN, Axel RITZBERGER

Publication number: 20230312172Abstract: A plastic container (1) has a first base and four side walls (13, 14) projecting perpendicularly upwards with a circumferential edge (15) on the upper edge of said walls and a circumferential rib (16) of the lower end of said walls. According to the invention, the container (1) includes a second base (17), which is arranged on the underside of the first base and encloses same. A flat base surface (18, 20) of the second base (17) extends parallel to the first base and beyond the extent of the first base to the extent of the outer ends of the circumferential rib (16) on the side walls (13, 14). A frame (19) on the second base (17) having a circumferential wall (22) extends to the circumferential rib (16) and encloses the lateral edges of the first base. The plastic container (1) can be placed in high-bay warehouses having narrow, rail-like shelves and can be centered and reliably stacked by means of elongate centering elements on the edge (15) and recesses (26) in the second base (17).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2021Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: GEORG UTZ HOLDING AGInventors: Patrik PLATTNER, Axel RITZBERGER, Philip SCHANIEL

Publication number: 20230286697Abstract: A plastic container (1) with two lid halves (5a, 5b) rotatable about a hinge (6a, 6b) has on the inner surface (5c) of the lid halves hooks (7) arranged in a row adjacent to and along the hinges (6a, 6b). Each hook (7) extends parallel to and spaced apart from the lid half (5a, 5b) and includes a recess having an opening facing and toward the distal end (12a, 12b) and a two-sided undercut. The undercuts allow the placement of one or more bags (8) having two straps (9) inside the container (1) such that the bags (8) are held open. When the lid halves (5a, 5b) are closed the straps (9) remain in place and held by the hooks (7). The invention may be used by shoppers shopping large amounts, which may be placed in the bags. Several containers of this kind may be stacked when their lids closed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2020Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: GEORG UTZ HOLDING AGInventors: Michael K.

Patent number: 11584563Abstract: The invention relates to a plastic pallet comprising an upper part, which is provided with outer and central female foot parts, and runners, which are provided with outer and central male foot parts. When plugged together with the female foot parts, the male foot parts form foot elements, and the female foot parts of the upper part and the male foot parts of the runners can be secured by means of a snap-fit connection. The female foot parts have an outer wall which surrounds their respective male foot parts. The outer wall of the outer female foot part extends over the entire height of the outer male foot part such that the outer male foot parts of the runners can be completely slid into the outer female foot parts of the upper part in such a manner that the outer wall of the outer female foot part together with the runner forms a support surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2019Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Georg Utz Holding AGInventor: Rüdiger Sostmann

Patent number: 11273955Abstract: A stackable container includes a step-shaped edge at upper ends of side walls and, on the outer side of the side walls, a projection resting on the step-shaped edge. Openings at lower edges of the side walls open into a collecting channel which extends along the base and is connected in one piece with the base and which collects small quantities of liquids passing through the openings. The projection covers the collecting channel and, together with the outer wall of the collecting channel and the step-shaped edge of the container located therebeiow, forms a free space, into which larger quantities of liquids can pass and flow into the lower container. Extinguishing water, sprayed over the stack of containers in the event of a fire, can thus pass from the upper container into the lower containers of the stack and extinguish a fire in a lower region of the stack.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: GEORG UTZ HOLDING AGInventor: Rüdiger Sostmann

Patent number: 10518932Abstract: A fixing element for orienting vertically stacked cuboid containers has first and second vertical sidewalls and a connecting element wherein the first sidewalls form a right angle with each other and the second sidewalls face the outer sides of the first sidewalls. The fixing element can be form fittingly fastened on the corners of a container, wherein a further container is arranged on the fixing element and is fixed in its horizontal position relative to the first container. The fixing element can be easily released again and reused. An embodiment is disclosed with a connecting element as spacer whereby a spacing of two containers is achieved. When two containers are thus stacked with their upper open sides facing each other a third container can be accommodated therein.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2013Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Georg Utz Holding AGInventor: Boris Schwab

Patent number: 10351296Abstract: A foldable container features a base and four lateral walls, with the lateral walls featuring trailing edges with latching elements and one or more ridges that extend from the trailing edge on the internal surface and/or close to the external surface and on lateral edges of the side wall. During stacking, the ridges mesh either between the latching elements and/or between two additional ridges so that stacked containers cannot shift in longitudinal direction. The trailing edges are designed in a step like shape and feature a protruding edge, by means of which a shifting in diagonal direction is also prevented. According to the invention, the containers are deformed less during transport and are easier to fold together. The invention facilitates stacking and folding by robots.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2014Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: GEORG UTZ HOLDING AGInventor: Bettina Birchmeier

Patent number: 10239661Abstract: A container for storage and transport of goods includes four sidewalls which surround a first planar bottom and have on their upper end a rim. A second bottom with a multiplicity of bottom ribs is connected to the first bottom by welding the bottom ribs of the second bottom with the first bottom. At least two opposite sidewalls of the container have each a projection which extends away from a sidewall and at a predetermined distance from the sidewall extends parallel to the sidewall in the direction of the bottom of the container. The projection has a horizontal end face which extends parallel to the area of the upper rim of the sidewall, with the horizontal end face extending at a level underneath the bottom plate of the first bottom.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2015Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Georg Utz Holding AGInventors: Patrik Plattner, Boris Schwab

Patent number: 9981778Abstract: A container includes a bottom, lateral walls, and a device for dividing the interior of the container. The device has a groove at each opposing lateral wall and a partition. Each groove extends from an upper edge of the lateral wall over a part of the height of the lateral wall. Each groove and the end faces of the partition have a cross-sectional shape transverse to their longitudinal extension, so that the end face of the partition and each groove can be united by a form-fit. Each groove can have an undercut.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2015Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: GEORG UTZ HOLDING AGInventor: Patrik Plattner
