## Abstract

The invention concerns a freight receiver device, in particular freight container or pallet, in particular for loading aircraft, comprising at least one floor element and at least one profile element connected with the floor element, characterised in that at least one edge segment of the floor element is detachably connected with the at least one profile element via a connecting device comprising at least one hook.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A freight receiver device, in particular a freight container or pallet, in particular for loading aircraft, comprising at least one floor element and at least one profile element connected with the floor element, wherein at least one edge segment of the floor element is detachably connected with the at least one profile element via a connecting device comprising at least one hook.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The freight receiver device according to claim 1, wherein the connecting device is formed such that a connection can be created between the floor element and profile element by push-fit with subsequent rotation.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The freight receiver device according to claim 1, wherein the connecting device comprises a least one groove and at least one spring.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The freight receiver device according to claim 3, wherein a cross section of the groove and/or spring is formed round, in particular circular, at least in segments.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The freight receiver device according to claim 3, wherein the spring and/or groove are asymmetric such that the spring can be introduced into the groove at a predetermined first relative angle thereto and is hooked with the groove at a predetermined second relative angle.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The freight receiver device according to claim 3, wherein a cross section of the groove, apart from a groove opening, is circular, and/or a cross section of the spring has a length L in a longitudinal direction and a width B in a width direction, wherein the longitudinal direction L is perpendicular to the width direction B, wherein length L is greater than width B.

### Claim 7 (depends on 3)

The freight receiver device according to claim 3, wherein a cross section of the spring has an arcuate segment and opposite the arcuate segment a rotation-support protrusion.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The freight receiver device according to claim 1, wherein at least one floor element edge segment of the floor element and/or at least one profile edge segment facing the floor element edge segment of a profile element is hook-shaped in cross section.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The freight receiver device according to claim 1, wherein at least one floor element edge segment of the floor element is curved inward and/or a profile element edge segment facing the floor element edge segment of the floor plate is chamfered downwards in the direction of the floor plate.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The freight receiver device according to claim 1, wherein the floor element and/or at least one preferably pultruded profile element is produced at least in sections of fibre-reinforced plastic, in particular comprising carbon fibres and/or fibre-reinforced carbon or glass fibres.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The freight receiver device according to claim 1, for example a freight container or pallet, in particular for loading aircraft, comprising a floor element wherein a floor element edge segment is connected with a multiplicity of profile elements, wherein the profile elements are connected together via a multiplicity of push-fit connections, wherein two adjacent profile elements only at their ends facing away from the respective other profile element each form a push-fit connection with a third profile element.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The freight receiver device according to claim 11, wherein several corner elements are provided which are each connected by a push-fit connection with two profile elements, wherein an end corner element is provided which is connected with maximum one profile element via a push-fit connection.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The freight receiver device according to claim 12, wherein several corner elements are provided with two push-fit connecting pins, wherein an end corner element is provided which comprises maximum one push-fit connecting pin.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The freight receiver device according to claim 1, wherein at least one wall element and at least one profile element comprising a slot is provided, wherein one preferably widened, preferably peripheral edge of the wall element is or can be inserted in the slot.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The freight receiver device according to claim 1, wherein at least one wall element is provided which comprises at least one bracing, in particular comprising an additional wall layer, running from one wall corner to the diagonally opposed wall corner.

### Claim 16 (depends on 1)

A method for production of a freight receiver device according to claim 1, comprising at least one floor element and at least one profile element connected with the floor element, wherein the floor element and profile element are brought together at a first predetermined angle and then hooked by rotation.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The method according to claim 16, the freight receiver device comprising at least one floor element and a multiplicity of profile elements which are connected with an edge of the floor element, wherein several profile elements are connected with two adjacent profile elements via a push-fit connection, wherein two adjacent end profile elements only at their ends facing away from each other are each connected with a third profile element via a push-fit connection.
