Tub insert

Abstract

A tub insert for a tub or receptacle accommodating test objects or items, particularly for hand luggage, the tub insert has at least one indentation in the surface of the tub base and/or of the tub insert, particularly for accommodating receptacles containing liquids. The tub insert is part of the tub and/or can be retrofitted. The at least one base material of the tub insert is closed-porous and can be a foam, such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), but preferably a PE LD 29. An upper layer or protective layer on the base material protects the latter.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tub insert for a tub or container for hand luggage or objects for checking or items, comprising at least one indentation in a surface of a tub base or of a tub insert, the indentation being adapted to receive containers containing liquids. 
     
     
         2 . The tub insert as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said tub insert is a component part of the tub and/or is retro-fittable. 
     
     
         3 . The tub insert as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the tub insert comprises at least one basic material which has closed pores. 
     
     
         4 . The tub insert as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the basic material is a foam material, polypropylene, polyethylene, or PE LD 29. 
     
     
         5 . The tub insert as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein an upper layer and/or a protective layer is incorporated on the basic material. 
     
     
         6 . The tub insert as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the upper layer is a hard-wearing material. 
     
     
         7 . The tub insert as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the upper layer is PE and PP which have been processed as yarns to form a textile. 
     
     
         8 . The tub insert as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the employed materials for the basic material and the protective layer display very low absorbency with respect to x-rays. 
     
     
         9 . The tub insert as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a depth of the indentations is about 20 mm. 
     
     
         10 . The tub insert as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the indentations are triangular, and wherein at least a right angle or else a somewhat larger angle is enclosed between the two sides of the recess. 
     
     
         11 . The tub insert as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the indentation or indentations is/are equal-sided and/or unequal-sided, and wherein the sides are be semi-round or straight. 
     
     
         12 . The tub insert as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a surface structure and a surface color of the tub insert is non-reflecting.
