Abstract

Im Bereich des Getränkevertriebes sind Getränkekästen in vielerlei Größen, Formen und Abmessungen bekannt.Die am Markt befindlichen Getränkekästen nehmen Gefäße, meist Flaschen, in verschiedenen Formen und Farben, aus verschiedenen, transparenten oder intransparenten Materialien auf.Die bisher bekannten Getränkekästen weisen im täglichen Gebrauch den Nachteil auf, daß auf den ersten Blick nicht erkennbar ist, ob eine Flasche voll oder leer ist, insbesondere, wenn der Verschluß nach dem Ausleeren wieder aufgesetzt wurde, und / oder wenn es sich um dunkle oder intransparente Flaschen handelt.Dies führt dazu, daß der Entnehmer solange einzelne Flaschen manuell anheben muß, bis zufällig eine volle Flasche gefunden wird.Die mit der Erfindung erzielte Lösung besteht darin, daß leere Flaschen dadurch sofort visuell erkannt werden, weil sie im Getränkekasten höher herausstehen als volle Getränkeflaschen.Die Ausgestaltung kann abhängig von der Vorliebe und technischen Möglichkeit des jeweiligen Getränkekastenherstellers mittels verschiedener Federelemente verwirklicht werden. Wie zum Beispiel mittels angespritzter Federlaschen, Druckfedern, Federstahlbandeinlagen, Luftkissen, geschäumte Kunststoffe u.a.Weiterhin kann auch der Einsatz einer sogenannten Schnappscheibe mit stabilem und metastabilem Zustand zum Einsatz kommen, die eine digitale Anzeige ermöglicht, welche nur leer oder voll anzeigt, nicht jedoch Zwischenstände.Das Anwendungsgebiet ist im Bereich der Getränkekastenherstellung angesiedelt.In the field of beverage sales, beverage crates of many sizes, shapes and dimensions are known. The beverage crates on the market accommodate vessels, mostly bottles, in various shapes and colors, made of different, transparent or non-transparent materials. The previously known beverage crates have the Disadvantage is that at first glance it is not possible to tell whether a bottle is full or empty, especially if the closure has been put back on after emptying and / or if the bottles are dark or opaque. This leads to the fact that the taker has to lift individual bottles manually until a full bottle is found by chance. The solution achieved with the invention is that empty bottles are immediately recognized visually because they protrude higher in the beverage crate than full beverage bottles. The design can depend on the preference and technical ability of each Beverage crate manufacturer realized by means of various spring elements. For example, by means of molded spring tabs, compression springs, spring steel band inserts, air cushions, foamed plastics, etc. Furthermore, a so-called snap disk with a stable and metastable state can be used, which enables a digital display that only shows empty or full, but not intermediate states. The area of application is located in the field of beverage crate production.

Description

Im Bereich des Getränkevertriebes sind Getränkekästen weit verbreitet und in unterschiedlichster Art bekannt.In the field of beverage sales, beverage crates are widespread and known in a wide variety of ways.

Die am Markt befindlichen Getränkekästen nehmen Gefäße, meist Flaschen, in verschiedenen Formen und Farben, aus verschiedenen, transparenten oder intransparenten Materialien auf.The beverage crates on the market hold vessels, mostly bottles, in different shapes and colors, made of different, transparent or non-transparent materials.

Die bisher bekannten Getränkekästen weisen im alltäglichen Gebrauch den Nachteil auf, daß auf den ersten Blick nicht erkennbar ist, ob eine Flasche voll oder leer ist, insbesondere, wenn der Verschluß nach dem Ausleeren wieder aufgesetzt wurde, und / oder wenn es sich um dunkle oder intransparente Flaschen handelt.The previously known beverage crates have the disadvantage in everyday use that at first glance it cannot be seen whether a bottle is full or empty, especially if the closure has been put back on after it has been emptied and / or if it is dark or empty non-transparent bottles.

Dies führt dazu, daß der Entnehmer solange einzelne Flaschen manuell anheben muß, bis zufällig eine volle Flasche gefunden wird.As a result, the dispenser has to manually lift individual bottles until a full bottle is found by chance.

Der in Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, das Suchen einer vollen Flasche im Getränkekasten zu erleichtern.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of making it easier to find a full bottle in the beverage crate.

Dieses Problem wird durch die im Patentanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst.This problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen darin, daß leere Flaschen dadurch sofort visuell erkannt werden, weil sie im Getränkekasten höher herausstehen als volle Getränkeflaschen.The advantages achieved by the invention are that empty bottles are immediately recognized visually because they protrude higher in the beverage crate than full beverage bottles.

Die Ausgestaltung wie im Patentanspruch 2 und Patentanspruch 3 angegeben, ermöglicht dem jeweiligen Getränkekastenhersteller das entsprechende Federelement seiner Vorliebe und technischen Möglichkeit anzuwenden, wie zum Beispiel: angespritzte Federlaschen, Druckfedern, Federstahlbandeinlagen, Luftkissen, geschäumte Kunststoffe u.a.The configuration as specified in claim 2 and claim 3 enables the respective beverage crate manufacturer to use the appropriate spring element of his preference and technical possibility, such as: molded spring tabs, compression springs, spring steel band inserts, air cushions, foamed plastics, etc.

Die Ausgestaltung wie im Patentanspruch 4 angegeben, sieht den Einsatz einer sogenannten Schnappscheibe mit stabilem und metastabilem Zustand vor, die eine digitale Anzeige ermöglicht, welche nur leer oder voll anzeigt, nicht jedoch Zwischenstände.The embodiment as specified in claim 4 provides for the use of a so-called snap disk with a stable and metastable state, which enables a digital display that only shows empty or full, but not intermediate states.
