Description
~.0379~
This invention is directed toward an improved partition assembly for use in containers.
Partition assemblies are used to divide the space in a container into ar, orderly array of compartments. Each compart-ment, when the container is loaded, holds an object to be ~;
protected when transported such as a bottle.
Usually, bottle containers are provided with partitionassemblies which are fixed within the container. The containers, with the fixed partitions, are made sturdy enough so they can be reused many times. The containers are relatively inexpensive when reused many times and when only one size of bottle is being ;~
handled.
Presently however, bottles are being made in several sizes, either for marketing purposes and/or in converting from English to metric sized bottles. It becomes quite expensive to provide containers, with fixed partition assemblies, for handling all the different sized bottles. A different set of containers must be provided for each different sized bottle. Known prior :~ :
art for such containers may be found in United States patents ;~
nos. 2,4~9,528; 2,958,452; 2,920,782; 3,343,742; 3,767,106. ~ ~
It is a pur~?ose of the present invention to provide ; -a removable partition assembly for use in bottle carrying -containers. One container can be provided with several such removable parti-tions assemblies, each assembly dividing the container into compartments which are of a different size from ; ~
those provided by the other assemblies. Thus one container - -can still be used to transport several different sizes of bottles ~;
, . .
depending on which removable partition assembly is used. -It is another purpose of the present invention to provide a removable partition assembly which is sturdy so it ;
can be used many times and which may be knocked-down or collapsed . .; ~ :
so that a plurality of the assemDlles may be stored in a minimum amount of space and readily transported. Each assembly may ",'. .
. . ; . . .. - . - . .. . , , - . - :
~3'7~
also be easily set up and lock in the set up position so that ~he containers can be quickly loaded.
In accordance with the present ivention, there is provided a partition assembly, for use in a container, satisfying ~`;
the above requirements.
The partition assembly of the present invention is . , .
characterized in that it comprises a first main partition and at least one secondary partition;
means for connecting the partitions together for movement between a first position where the secondary partition ~;
lies substantially parallel to the main partition and a second position where the secondary partition lies substantially at right angles to the main partition; and ;
means for locking the partitions in the second position.
The means for connecting the partitions together comprise `
a slot in the main partition for each secondary partition, a . .
socket at the bottom of each slot, and a pivot pin on each seconda-ry partition insertable into the socket when the secondary partition is inserted into a slot. ~ ~`
- The locking means comprise a locking tab on one edge of each slot, and means on the tab for retaining the secondary partition substantially at right angles to the main partition.
, The edges of each slot are slightly laterally offset to opposite ~ ~
-; sides of the body of the main partition, the retaining means on ~- the tab retaining the secondary partition against the offset . edges when it :is in the second position. -~
Preferably, portions of the body of the main partition : ~ ;
are slightly angled adjacent each slot to provide recesses for receiving a portion of the secondary partition when it is in the first position.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, : - 2 -103791~
the locking tab is attached flush to one edge of each of the slot at the top thereof and extends transversely thereto to end in front of, and adjacent to the other edge of the slot. The tab has , a first locking shoulder adjacent the one edge, projecting from the tab at an angle of approximately 45, and in a direction away from the one edge. The tab also has a second locking shoulder adjacent the other edge projecting from the tab at an angle of approx-mately 45 in a direction away from the other edge. When in -`~
its second position, the secondary partitlon has one edge ahutting against the first shoulder and another edge abutting against the -~second shoulder.
According to another preferred aspect of the invention ~ ;
the locking tab has a third locking shoulder adjacent the other edge of the slot, the second and the third shoulders forming `
a shallow groove therebetween for receiving the one edge of ;`~
the secondary partition when the secondary partition is in its second position, the first, second and third shoulders extending substantially parallel to the edges of the slot.

The partition assemhly 1 generally shown in Fig. 1 is ~ ~
for use with a container 3 for carrying bottles 5. The partition ~ -_ 3 _ '' ;,.- ',," '.~:
- ~037914 assembly 1, when 3et up and inserted into the container to re~t on the floor of the container, di~ides the space within the container into compartments, each capable of receiving a bottle 5.
The partition as~embly 1 a~ shown in Fig. 1 comprise~
a first, main partition 11, and two secondary partitions 13.
The partitions are molded from suitable, resilient, ther~oplastic material. The first main partition 11 has a main body 15 with - a top edge 17, a bottom edge 19, ~nd edges 21 and leg~ 23 depending down from the bottom edge 19. Each secondary partition ~
13 has a main body 25 with a top edge 27, bottom edge 29, end ~`;
edge~ 31, and legs 33 ext~nding down fro~ the bottom edge 29.
Eaoh secondary partition 13 is detachably connected to the main partition 11. ~o this end, as shown in Fig. 3, a slot 35 i~ provided in the main body 15 of main partition 11, at each location where a ~econdary partition 13 is to be positioned.
~he slot 35, slightly wider than the thickness of partition 13, ;~
extends down from the top edge 17 of main body 15 a distance ;~
substantially equal to the height of main body 25 of partition 13. Each partition 13 is inserted in a ~lot 35.
Each secondary partition 13 i~ movably mounted on main partition 11, rotatable between a fir~t closed position, shown `-~
in Fig. 4, where the partition 13 lies flat against, and substantially parallel to partition 11, and a ~econd open posi-tion, shown in ~ig. 5, where the partition 13 lies sub~tantially ~;
at right angles to partition 11. A pivot pin 37 is provided on each partition 13 substantially midway between its end edges .. -31 and projecting from its bottom edge 29 as ~hown in Fig. 3.
A socket 39 is provided on partition 11, at the bott~m o~ each slot 35, for rotatably receiving the pivot pin 37~ when partition 13 i9 inserted into ~lot 35. ;

These edges a,re slightly laterally o~fqet to opposite sides of main body 15~as shown in Figs. 3 to 5. ~he offset is pro~ided by slightly angling rectangular sections 49, 51 of the main body 15~ on either side o~ ~lot 35, away fro~
main body 15, and in opposite direction~. The~e angled sections also provide nesting recesses 53, 55, as shown in Figo 2J for receiving a portion of the partition 13 when it i9 folded flat against partition 11. ~his allows partition 13 to sit flatter against partition 11 when folded thereagainst. When each parti-tion 13 is rotated to the open po~ition, substantially at right ~-~
angles to partition 11, its main body 25 abuts edges 41, 43 of ~lot 35, preventing further movement. -~
~he locking means also includes a-locking tab 61 on one of the edge~ 41, 43 of the angled body sections 49, 51. As ~
shown in Figs. 3 to 5, the tab 61 i9 attached flush to edge 41 ~ -at the top thereof and extend3 transversely thereto to end in front of, and adjacent to, edge 43. ~he tab 61 ha~ a first locking shoulder 63, adjacent edge 41, projecting from tab 61 at an angle of approximately 45, and in a direction away ~rom - edge 41. The tab 61 also has a second locking shoulder 65 adjacent edge 43 projecting from tab 61 at an angle of appro~
mately 45 in a direction awa~ from edge 43. A smaller, third locking shoulder 67 i~ pro~ided on tab 61 adjacent edge 43.
Shoulders 65, 67 define a shallow groove 69 therebetween. ~he ~houlders 63, 65 and 67 all extend substantially parallel to - edges 41, 43.
Partition 13 has a central notch 71 extending do~m from its top edge 27. The notch 71 i~ slightly longer than tab 61 and has a width nearly equal to the width "W" of tab 61. ~he vertical edges 73, 75 of notch 71, are rounded.
.. .~ , .. . . . . . :, . . .
When each part~ s rotated on pin 37 to the open position, sub~tantially at right angle~ to partition 11, the edges 73~ 75 o~ notch 71 on parti-tion 13 are forced pa~t reailient shoulders 63, 65 respectively on tab 61. ~he ~houlder~
63, 65 are so positioned that they re~train partition 13 against edges 41, 43 of notch 35 to lock it in the open, set-up position.
~o further assist in locking the partition 13 in place9 edge 75 on partition 13 fits in groove 69 between shoulder~ 65, 67 and edge 73 abuts against shoulder 63.
~o knock down a~sembly 1, each partition 13 is rotated on pin 37 to lie substantially flat against partition 11, par~
tially in recesses 53, 55, edges 73, 75 being forced back pa~t resilient shoulders 63, 65.
The assembly 1 has been ~hown with two secondary partitions 13. These partitions 13 are mounted at a position on partition 11 one quarter the length of partition 11 in from each end edge 21 of partition 11. ;
At the mid-point of partition 11, a tab 81 extends down from bottom edge 19 ha~ing an upwardly directed slot 83 therein. ~ab 81 engages wi~h a cross-partition 85 in container 3 as ~hown in -~ig. 1.
If desired, cro s-partition 85, and tab 81 could be -eliminated, and another secondary partition 13 could be provided -in the center of partition 11. ~ ~
Severai assemblies 1 are provided for each container ~ -3, the assemblies differing only in the number of partitions 13 provided in each assembly. ~hus each container 3 ca~ be ~et up to carry a varying number of bottles depending on the a~sembly -~
1 inserted in the container. ~he a~semblie~ not being used are knocked down and readily ~qtored.
