Description

The invention relates to a device for securing and / or stowing of cargo, in particular for a vehicle, according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to an arrangement of a device for securing and / or stowing of cargo in a vehicle after the The preamble of claim 11.

Such devices for securing and / or stowing of cargo for a vehicle, which are also called cargo securing elements are already well known, such as from US 4,372,512 , This describes two L-shaped securing elements, which are arranged in pairs offset from one another so that they form a substantially U-shape, wherein each of the L-shaped securing elements is pivotally mounted in the region of the adjacent L-legs to the two L-legs to be able to fold one another in the position of use of the device, this forms a bottom wall region formed by the U-base, from which one of the L-legs projects upwards on opposite sides of the bottom wall region, so that these upwardly projecting legs together with the bottom wall region form a receiving space bounding side wall area. Shopping bags can be placed and supported in this storage room. The device is made entirely of a wire material to provide a lightweight construction.

In the DE 198 372 78 A1 a box container for placement in a cargo hold of a motor vehicle is described. The box container has several, a container bottom and four sides of the container associated, dimensionally stable wall parts. The wall parts are mounted parallelogram-shaped pivotable about mutually parallel axes relative to each other between a folded rest position and an established functional position.

Next is from the generic JP 2008-239001 A a device for securing or for stowing cargo in a vehicle known. Specifically, the load securing element shown there is stored in a basic position in the vehicle interior where regularly a passenger seat is located. A bottom plate of the device is in this storage position part of the vehicle interior floor. If now the devices are transferred to the functional position, the bottom plate is pivoted about a pivot axis extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction upwards towards the driver's seat, so that it protrudes vertically upwards. At this then vertically upwardly projecting wall spaced apart two further wall elements are pivoted articulated, which lie in the stowed position below the floor area and which are folded away in the use position of the unfolded bottom wall portion by 90 °, so that they form the now one side wall area, folded up at an angle of 90 °. Subsequently, in a last step, a jalousie-like cover is pulled out of a winding cassette of the unfolded bottom wall panel and hooked in the region of the free ends of the unfolded wall elements, so that then two adjacent and freely accessible from a passenger door side receiving spaces are formed. Further elements do not protrude into the receiving spaces.

In contrast, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device for securing and / or stowing of cargo, in particular for a vehicle, as well as an arrangement of a device for securing and / or stowing of cargo in a vehicle, by means of the Stowing of cargo is easy and reliable and is possible by means of which, depending on the loading situation, a load-dependent subdivision of the receiving space is easy and predetermined for a variety of loading situations.

This object is achieved in each case with the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of this are the subject of the dependent claims.

According to claim 1, at least one displaceable wall element, in particular a pivoting flap or the like, is arranged in the region of the receiving space, which is preferably designed as an upwardly open receiving space, which is displaceable for variable subdivision of the receiving space between different functional positions, in particular for the variable load-dependent subdivision of Receiving space in at least one in the receiving space protruding and this subdividing to a defined extent functional position is displaced. With such a displaceable wall element, a receiving space can be adapted in a particularly simple manner to different loading situations or to different load.

Particularly preferred here is an embodiment according to which a plurality of wall elements protruding into the receiving space from different receiving space sides are provided, of which at least one, but preferably a plurality, is designed as a displaceable wall element which, as described above, for variable subdivision of the receiving space between different functional positions is displaced. With such a structure, the functionality when stowing cargo and thus the load-dependent subdivision possibilities of the receiving space can be significantly increased again. As a result, the receiving space according to the invention can be adapted to a large number of loading situations.

According to a specific embodiment, it can be provided, for example, that at least one wall element is arranged on the bottom wall region as at least one bottom wall wall element and / or at least one side wall wall element on the side wall region, wherein at least one wall element forms the displaceable wall element. This results in a wide variety of arrangement and thus subdivision options that are adaptable to a variety of loading situations.

According to a particularly preferred specific embodiment, it is proposed to arrange at least one wall element as a sidewall wall element at different side wall portions of a receiving space, with respect to the receiving space, different receiving space sides, wherein it is preferably provided that of the sidewall wall elements at least one formed as a displaceable wall element is, which is displaceable to the variable load-dependent subdivision of the receiving space in at least one receiving space-side functional position. With such sidewall wall elements can be in a particularly simple manner, in particular in conjunction with several movable sidewall wall elements, accomplish a functionally reliable transport of cargo, since such a device can be particularly easily and advantageously adapted to a specific loading situation or to the respective load , The advantages described above are further enhanced by the fact that in addition to the sidewall wall elements at least one bottom wall wall element is provided, which cooperates with these in different functional positions.

As the statements made above show, depending on the configuration of the device, a great variety of design options result in the adaptation of a device-side receiving space to a specific loading situation with load. For example, with such a device, travel suitcases, travel bags, shopping bags, etc. can be reliably supported and transported in a simple manner, since the inventive design of the device for securing or stowing cargo in the previously described flexible manner to a variety of different Loading situations can be adjusted. This load securing also has an advantageous effect on the passenger protection, since with the solution according to the invention the risk of unsecured load in the vehicle can be advantageously reduced.

According to a first particularly preferred embodiment, it is provided that at least one side wall wall element is arranged on each side wall part regions opposite to the receiving space. Particularly preferred in this case is an embodiment in which, relative to the receiving space, opposite side wall subregions of at least one of the side wall wall elements, in particular the side wall wall elements directly cooperating with respect to the subdivision of the receiving space, can be displaced into at least one functional position. Wall elements are formed. With such a structure, the side wall wall elements provided there can advantageously be assigned to one another in different positions, which has an advantageous effect on the flexibility of the overall system with regard to the loading-dependent subdivision of the receiving space, in particular in conjunction with displaceable sidewall wall elements.

In principle, there are various possibilities to realize the displacement of a displaceable wall element, for example in conjunction with telescopically displaceable or telescoped individual wall element panels. Particularly preferred and easy to do, however, is an embodiment in which the at least one displaceable wall element, for. B. in the form of a bottom wall and / or side wall wall element, pivotally hinged to the respective associated wall portion, for example, in the case of a side wall wall element is pivotally hinged to the side wall portion. Such four-pivot wall elements then form a kind of hinged flap.

According to a further particularly preferred specific embodiment, it is possible in principle for a plurality of displaceable sidewall wall elements to be arranged at a distance from one another on the one-part or multi-part sidewall area in such a way that the immediately adjacent sidewall wall elements form sidewall webs which are displaced in their positions in the receiving space Functional position protrude into the receiving space, that they form between them a receiving space for open recess and / or opening for receiving, in particular for embracing and / or supporting recording of cargo. Optionally, individual of the webs can also be arranged or formed rigidly here. With regard to the invention desired Modularity and functionality of an optimized load-dependent subdivision of the receiving space is proposed, however, to form the side wall webs as numerous as possible, preferably completely as legible sidewall wall elements.

In conjunction with such sidewall webs results in a particularly advantageous component and functional integration, if the at least one displaceable sidewall wall element is forked and has at least two spaced apart tine-like sidewall webs in their displaced in the receiving space functional position so in the Entrance receiving space that they form between them a receptacle for open recess or opening for receiving, in particular for embracing and / or supporting recording, of cargo. Particularly preferred is an embodiment in which the side wall webs are connected to a longitudinal spar, which in turn is pivotally articulated to the side wall portion. Such a structure is both manufacturing technology and manufacturing technology easy and allows a functionally reliable, less prone to interference handling of the device according to the invention.

In addition, a specific configuration is preferred in which at least one side wall wall element is arranged, relative to the receiving space, opposite side wall subregions, which side wall wall elements cooperate with their side wall webs projecting into the receiving space or can be brought into such an operative connection. in that they form at least one transverse wall area running essentially transversely to the opposite side wall part regions and / or transversely in the receiving space. Particularly preferred here is an embodiment in which the side wall webs seen in the transverse direction to the opposite side wall portions, are aligned substantially aligned and adjoin each other with their free side wall web ends with or without gap spacing, possibly even overlapping adjoin. For functionally reliable positionally accurate arrangement and alignment of the side wall webs in the receiving space, these may optionally be connected to one another in the region of the adjoining web ends, for example by a latching and / or hooking connection or the like, to name only one example.

Preference is further given to a specific embodiment in which the at least one displaceable sidewall wall element, relative to the wall element longitudinal direction, forms or has a plurality of adjoining recesses and / or openings which form adjoining, delimited fan-like accommodating chamber sections, wherein it is preferably provided that that a plurality of such, with respect to the receiving space, each other, preferably at the same height, opposite side wall panels are provided which form a plurality of common, contiguous, delimited fan-like receiving space sub-areas.

In principle, there are various possibilities for arranging the at least one displaceable sidewall wall element with reference to the associated receiving space. Particularly preferred is an embodiment in which the at least one displaceable sidewall wall element rests in the non-functional position in an abutment connection on an associated wall area, in particular on an associated sidewall portion, directly or with a gap distance. This ensures that in this non-functional position, the receiving space volume in this area is completely available through the sidewall wall element without hindrance.

According to a further particularly preferred embodiment may also be provided that the at least one displaceable sidewall wall element is arranged in a functional position substantially parallel to the bottom wall portion and / or in a horizontal plane of the receiving space, resulting in a particularly advantageous subdivision possibility and the device, the Example in conjunction with a rectangular structure provides an overall box-like construction.

According to another particularly preferred embodiment, it is proposed that the at least one displaceable sidewall wall element is arranged, in particular articulated, on an upper edge region of the sidewall region facing away from the bottom wall region. In conjunction with the connection to the upper edge region results in an advantageous utilization of the underlying receiving space volume, for example in conjunction with other components, such as a bottom wall wall element. In addition, it is facilitated by an operator by an operator due to the easy accessibility. Furthermore, here, in particular with bulky objects, such as suitcases or larger shopping bags, advantageous support lengths result from the support located far above the bottom wall region by means of the sidewall wall elements.

According to a further particularly preferred embodiment in connection with the at least one displaceable sidewall wall element is proposed that this in a Functional position extends the side wall area upwards in the direction of the bottom wall area away. This results in even larger support lengths or Abstützhöhen. As the statements made above show, the arrangement or connection of the displaceable wall elements to the respectively assigned wall area is thus possibly such that it can be laid between a plurality of different positions, in particular between a plurality of different functional positions. The fixation or mounting of the displaceable wall elements according to the present invention idea can be achieved in a known per se by appropriate locking or unlocking devices, such as latching means, überdrückbare detents, etc.

The at least one bottom wall wall element is z. B. is rigidly disposed on the bottom wall portion of the receiving space and protrudes from this, so that the receiving space is divided by this bottom wall wall element in at least two lying on opposite sides of the bottom wall wall element receiving space areas. According to a further particularly preferred embodiment, however, as an alternative to a rigid bottom wall wall element, an extendable bottom wall wall element can also be provided. This is preferably displaceable at least between a non-functional position substantially resting against the bottom wall region and a functional position projecting away from the bottom wall region and, for example, can be retained in this functional position by corresponding retaining means. This, in turn, results in turn in the various adaptation options described above for different loading situations.

The at least one bottom wall wall element projecting away from the bottom wall can run approximately parallel to and spaced apart from two mutually opposite side wall partial areas of the side wall area, for example such that one or more such bottom wall wall elements are parallel to the opposite side wall partial areas run and divide the device accordingly. According to a simple embodiment, it can also be provided that a middle bottom wall wall element runs approximately in a middle partial area between two mutually opposite side wall partial areas, relative to the receiving space. This results, for example, in a substantially symmetrical division of the receiving space.

Analogous to the sidewall webs described above, the at least one bottom wall wall element can also be formed by a plurality of bottom wall webs projecting away from the bottom wall region and spaced from one another, wherein the immediately adjacent bottom wall webs have between them a recess and / or opening open towards the receiving space for receiving, in particular for embracing and / or supporting recording, train of load. This results in the bottom wall side of the previously described in connection with the side wall webs advantages in terms of optimized Abstützmöglichkeit and optimized receiving space subdivision.

According to a function-integrated solution, the at least one bottom wall wall element may in turn be fork-shaped and have at least two spaced-apart tine-like bottom wall webs which project into the receiving space such that they have a recess open towards the receiving space and / or opening for receiving, train in particular for encompassing and / or supporting recording of cargo. In the event that the at least one bottom wall wall element should be pivotably hinged to the bottom wall portion, it is preferred that the provided bottom wall webs are connected to a longitudinal spar which is connected to the associated bottom wall area or pivotally articulated.

According to a particularly preferred concrete solution according to the invention, it is proposed that the bottom wall webs projecting upwards from the bottom wall region thus have at least one side wall wall element with corresponding side wall webs projecting into the receiving space - which side wall webs have a recess open towards the receiving space and / or or form opening - cooperate or can be brought into operative connection, that they form at least one storage compartment bounded by bottom wall webs and side wall webs and thus a correspondingly delimited receiving space subregion in which, for example, shopping bags, travel bags, suitcases or the like are set from above can be. In particular, in connection with such bottom wall wall elements and such sidewall wall elements having in their longitudinal direction a plurality of adjacent recesses or openings, thus correspondingly adjacent, delimited fan-like receiving space sub-areas can be formed.

The device according to the invention can in principle have any desired shape, but a rectangular or square outer contour is preferred. Accordingly, a bottom wall region is preferred, which is formed by a bottom plate and / or has a rectangular outer contour. To the bottom wall portion may, according to another embodiment connect at least one side wall forming the one- or multi-part sidewall region upward in the direction away from the bottom wall region. The at least one side wall or at least one of the side walls can be pivotally and / or hingedly connected to the bottom wall region, in particular in such a way that it can be folded down onto the bottom wall region. Thus, for example, in conjunction with a transportable construction of the device according to the invention, an easy-to-stow away module with little storage space can be provided.

According to a particularly preferred arrangement, the at least one side wall or at least one of the side walls can be supported by a vehicle-side wall area and / or by a vehicle-side component in the state mounted in a vehicle, in particular in a vehicle interior and / or in a storage space, and / or there essentially lie in an investment connection. This results in an advantageous additional stabilization and support of the device according to the invention, which is particularly advantageous in connection with heavy cargo, such as travel suitcases or the like. As such supporting wall areas or components, for example, a central tunnel wall area, a vehicle door area, an instrument panel area or a trunk area are suitable, to name just a few examples.

In this context, it is expressly also mentioned again that the at least one side wall or at least one of the side walls of the device mounted in a vehicle, in particular in a vehicle interior and / or in a storage space, also by a vehicle-side wall area and / or may be formed or replaced by a vehicle-side component, if this should be appropriate.

The device is also preferably embodied as a transport device which can be arranged detachably in the vehicle and can be handled independently of an arrangement in the vehicle, in particular in such a way that the device has at least one fastening means by means of which the device can be detachably arranged in at least one defined connection region in an associated vehicle / or attachable. This results in a significantly increased use in connection with the device according to the invention, which can be used for example for transporting objects or cargo. The term "fastener" is to be understood expressly in a broad sense and can be expressly in addition to mechanical fasteners only in the provision of slip-resistant surfaces.

Furthermore, an embodiment is preferred in which at least part of the displaceable wall elements, in particular the at least one sidewall wall element, is resiliently spring-biased into a defined position, in particular into a functional position projecting into the receiving space, in particular in such a way that the at least one sidewall wall element in the state shifted by a load from this position exerts a pressing and / or holding force on the load. This results in an even better, optimized fixing and securing of load with the device according to the invention.

The above object is further achieved by an arrangement of a device for securing and / or stowing of cargo in a vehicle. This arrangement may comprise a device having one or more features as previously described in detail. However, preferred is an arrangement with a device for securing and / or stowing of cargo in a vehicle, in which the device is designed as a detachably arranged in the vehicle and independently of an arrangement in the vehicle manageable transport device, in particular such that the device at least one At least one wall element forms a displaceable wall element which can be laid for loading-dependent subdivision of the receiving space in at least one receiving space-side functional position on a bottom wall area arranged bottom wall wall element and / or at least one side wall wall element arranged on the side wall area. The resulting advantages have already been explained in detail in connection with the device according to the invention. In this respect, reference is made to avoid repetition of the above statements.

The arrangement of the device according to the invention in the vehicle can basically be done in different areas of the vehicle, such as in the trunk. However, it is particularly preferred, for example in connection with a transport vehicle, such as a taxi or the like, the arrangement of the device adjacent to a driver's seat and / or instead of a passenger seat in the vehicle interior.

The above-explained and / or reproduced in the subclaims advantageous embodiments and refinements of the invention can - in addition to z. B. in cases of clear dependencies or incompatible alternatives - individually or in any combination with each other.

The invention and exemplary embodiments will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing.

Show it:

1a 1 schematically shows an exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention for securing or stowing cargo, which is embodied here as a box-like load securing element, namely in a state not installed in the vehicle,

1b the load securing element according to 1a with only exemplary folded and designed as a flap sidewall wall element,

2 schematically one of 1a corresponding structure with an additional fold-down end wall,

3 schematically a structure according to the 1a with here pivotally mounted bottom wall wall element,

4a to 4d different operating situations for a load securing element according to 1a and 1b ,

In the figures, an exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention is now in connection with a load securing element 40 shown for a vehicle, together with an arrangement of this load securing element 40 in a vehicle. In the 1 to 3 becomes the general structure of the exemplary load securing element 40 described while the load securing element 40 in the 4 in several operational situations in a vehicle interior 42 is shown.

The load securing element 40 is in connection with the embodiment described here as a box 41 educated. This box 41 includes a bottom plate 43 as a bottom wall area. The at least substantially rectangular box in the embodiment 41 also has longitudinal walls aligned in its longitudinal direction 44 as side walls or side wall portions of a multi-part side wall region and transversely aligned thereto transverse walls 45 , which in a way to be described by as flaps 47a . 47b trained sidewall wall elements are formed. A view of the load securing element 40 is for example in the 4d only shown extremely schematically.

The load securing element shown in the figures 40 is how this particular from the 4a . 4b and 4c can be seen, housed in a location in the vehicle, which corresponds to the mounting location of the passenger seat in the usual four- or five-seat vehicle configurations. In the embodiment shown here, the load securing element comprises 40 a total of three longitudinal walls 44 : One the driver's seat 42a adjacent, viewed in the direction of travel left longitudinal wall 44a , one of the passenger side door not shown adjacent, the driver's seat 42a facing away, seen in the direction of travel right longitudinal wall 44b , which form sidewall portions of the multi-part side wall region formed here. Furthermore, the load securing element comprises 40 an example here between the two longitudinal walls 44a and 44b arranged middle longitudinal wall 44c , which forms a bottom wall wall element here. The two side or longitudinal walls 44a . 44b limit here together with the bottom plate 43 an upwardly open recording room 50 and are related to the recording room 50 on opposite reception room sides. Between the two longitudinal walls 44a . 44b is the recording room 50 formed open in here frontal area, as hereinafter referred to again.

Essentially in the 1a . 1b as well as in the 4a to 4d shown embodiment of the box 41 are all three longitudinal walls 44a . 44b and 44c essentially rigid on the bottom plate 43 arranged or non-pivotally connected to this. Basically, especially the recording room 50 of the box 41 dividing, middle longitudinal wall 44c , but also the lateral longitudinal walls 44a and 44b hinged to the bottom plate 43 be attached so that these on the bottom plate 43 can be folded down. For the middle longitudinal wall forming a bottom wall panel 44c is this in the 3 schematically by the double arrow 48 and the pivot axis 49 shown. For reasons of stability, the foldability is at least for the outer longitudinal walls 44a and 44b not the preferred variant, but may optionally be provided depending on the application without further notice.

As this particular from the 4a to 4c is apparent, is the load securing element 40 in its outer dimensions preferably adapted to a suitable mounting location in the vehicle, this the floor area of the passenger seat usually mounted there in four or five-seater vehicles. In this way, an optimal space utilization is achieved. The load securing element 40 but can also be used in other situations, for example in the trunk of a vehicle.

The bottom plate 43 and the outer walls 44a . 44b of the box 41 may have fastening devices for fixing to associated fastening means of the vehicle. For example, the bottom plate 43 have on their underside an anti-slip coating, for example, in a carpet flooring of a vehicle interior 42 or hooked into a boot floor covering of a vehicle equipped with a textile floor so as to be slip-resistant. Other fastening means are conceivable and possible at any time, such as one or more releasable latching connections or the like.

Especially in the in the 4a to 4c embodiment shown is the box 41 in such a way to the available area of the vehicle interior 42 right next to the driver's seat 42a adapted by the right next to the driver's seat 42a extending partition 42b , seen in front of the box in the direction of travel 41 arranged instrument panel 42c as well as a right seen in the direction of travel next to the box 41 arranged, not shown driver remote vehicle door slipping of the load securing element 40 while driving is already largely prevented. Due to the presence of the partition 42b could basically also on the left longitudinal wall 44a be waived.

However, this is not necessarily preferred as the box 41 then no longer so the vehicle interior 42 It can be seen that the load contained therein remains safe, although this waiver of such a longitudinal wall could of course mean a material and thus cost savings and can be provided for certain applications in any case.

The middle longitudinal wall 44c of the box 41 is in the embodiment with two large openings 44d provided so that the middle longitudinal wall 44c and thus the bottom wall wall element essentially still exemplarily three vertically upright webs or posts 44e consists.

On the sides facing each other the outer longitudinal walls 44a and 44b are sidewall wall panels forming flaps 47a . 47b (compare before) pivotally hinged, namely at an upper edge region. In the 1a and also in the 4a Both are flaps 47a . 47b in one in the recording room 50 protruding, horizontal position drawn in which the flaps 47a . 47b thus essentially in one, with respect to the recording room 50 , Horizontal plane lie. In the 4b is shown as the left as seen in the direction of travel, the driver's seat 42a adjacent flap 47a by equipping the upwardly open receiving space 50 by means of a suitcase 46a in the direction of the arrows 47c is pivoted down. This is for clarity in the 1b again without a suitcase 46a shown. For example, the flaps 47a . 47b in the 1a and in the 4a shown horizontal position to be spring-biased so that this then when inserting a cargo, such as the suitcase 46a , Is pivoted against the spring force down. Will the suitcase 46a then out of the box again 41 taken, arises with such a resilient connection of the flaps 47a . 47b the flap 47a then back to the horizontal starting position, and automatically back.

In the 4c Now the case is shown that in addition to the suitcase 46a , by means of which the receiving space 50 on the driver's seat facing side of the middle longitudinal hand 44c is fitted, on the opposite side of the middle longitudinal wall 44c with a relatively large shopping bag 46b as a load 46 is equipped. In the in the 4c represented situation, are thus both valves 47a . 47b folded down and are essentially in an investment connection to their associated longitudinal walls 44a . 44b At this, then this contact connection can also form a so-called non-functional position, in which, for example, in conjunction with a on the bottom plate 43 folded longitudinal wall 44c the entire recording volume is substantially unhindered by any in the recording room 50 protruding bottom wall or side wall wall elements is available.

The bridges or posts 44e the middle longitudinal wall 44c are preferably on a longitudinal spar 44f tethered and over this longitudinal spar ( 3 ), for example, pivotally on the bottom plate 43 hinged or in connection with the other embodiments rigidly to the bottom plate 43 tethered.

Also the flaps 47a . 47b Both have openings each 47d so that each of the flaps essentially still has three bars 47e and a connecting the webs longitudinal spar 47f has, on which the flaps 47a . 47b on the associated longitudinal wall 44a . 44b are articulated. Through the associated webs 47e the two flaps 47a . 47b become the previously mentioned transverse walls 45 trained, provided the appropriate flap 47a . 47b in the in the 1a shown horizontal position. Are both valves 47a . 47b Folded up in their horizontal position, this results in transverse walls 45 which extends at least substantially over the entire width of the bottom plate 43 extend. Will only one of the two fold 47a or 47b folded up in the horizontal position, and the other flap remains in a vertical, folded on the associated longitudinal wall position, so form the webs of the arranged in the horizontal position flap thus shorter transverse walls 45 from, the example of the associated outer longitudinal wall up to the middle longitudinal wall 44c extend. There then can the webs 47e with the jetties 44e the middle longitudinal wall 44c cooperate accordingly and form a defined demarcated storage compartment-like receiving space part area. This is especially true of the 4b for the right flap seen in the direction of travel 47b shown (compare also the box 41 in this position without load 46 displayed 1b ).

At least one of the flaps 47a . 47b can also be made in two parts, with, for example, two longitudinal beams each half the length of the longitudinal walls 44 , which are separately hinged with their webs.

As this particular from the 4 shows arise with the flaps down 47a . 47b two large, in the longitudinal direction of the box 41 extending receiving space for larger cargo 46 for example suitcases 46 or big bags 46b (see 4c ). In 4b is shown that - if only one flap, namely in 4b the flap 47b is folded up - a single elongated large receiving space, for example, for a suitcase 46a , as well as two smaller receiving spaces for smaller load, for example, bottles or very small bags arise. In the 4a are finally both valves 47a . 47b shown in a folded up position, leaving two approximately smaller, transverse to the longitudinal extent of the bottom plate 43 running receiving openings for smaller load, for example, smaller bags 46c , arise in 4d it is again in the case of a suitcase 46a ("Suitcase") and smaller bags 46c ("Bag") illustrates schematically.

The load securing element exemplified in the embodiments 40 is preferably made of plastic. In principle, however, the devices according to the invention can also be made of other materials, for example metal or wood or mixed construction methods.

The flaps 47a . 47b of the described embodiment of a load securing element 40 are from a substantially horizontal position ( 1a ) in a substantially vertical position along the direction of the arrows 47c swiveling downwards ( 1b ). But they could also be designed so that they are alternatively or additionally pivotable in a vertical position upwards, which is not shown here. In this case, even higher objects can be safely supported laterally.

That in the 1 . 3 and 4 shown box-shaped load securing element 40 has no, here opposite to the direction of travel (+ x) arranged rear transverse wall. In this way, even long objects whose length is the length of the bottom plate 43 surpasses, are arranged in the receiving areas formed in the longitudinal direction, by opposite to the direction x over the bottom plate 43 transcend. Of course, also at this point a rear transverse wall 51 be present as schematically and exemplarily in the 2 is shown to take out the box 41 to facilitate and load 46 even more secure. Of course it is also possible on the rear bulkhead 51 opposite front then a front transverse wall 52 to arrange, which also only very schematically in the 2 is shown. Also, only a front transverse wall may, depending on the application, optionally be provided. It is also possible, the rear and / or front transverse wall 51 . 52 To make hinged, for example, by these hinged to the bottom plate 43 what is in the 2 in conjunction with the rear bulkhead 51 only extremely schematic and dashed lines and is indicated by two pivot arrows. This allows the advantages of both variants to be combined. To the flaps 47a . 47b in her swung out or in the recording room 50 Retained pivoted position in the horizontal, are also known per se locking means, locking and unlocking devices, überdrückbare detents, etc. in large numbers known and therefore need not be shown individually.

The exemplary embodiment of a load securing element shown in the figures 40 includes a middle longitudinal wall 44c and two flaps 47a . 47b with three bars each 47e , Of course it is also possible, additional longitudinal walls on the bottom plate 43 to arrange or the middle longitudinal wall 44c to be dropped.
