DE202004002866U1 - Bottle case of plastic has opening in side wall bounded at top by gripping strip, at sides by corner posts, and at bottom by bottom strip which in middle has upwards orientated protrusion to which is connected inner wall - Google Patents

Abstract

The bottle case of plastic has an opening in the side wall bounded at the top by a gripping strip (1), at the sides by corner posts (2), and at the bottom by a bottom strip (4). The bottom strip in the middle has an upwards orientate protrusion (5) to which is connected the inner wall, while the inner wall blends in one piece into this protrusion. The protrusion may be in semi-circular form, trapezoidal form or triangular. The bottom strip has a height which prevents the tipping over of a bottle standing on the bottom.

Description

The invention relates to a bottle crate Plastic that consists of a floor, four side walls and four corner pillars and its interior by two intersecting inner walls in four subjects is divided, in which there are columns attached to the center of the floor.

This type of box was developed at the time in order to pack bottles in the same box in the outer carton Consumers as well as empty bottles back to the bottling plant without a carton to be able to transport. This box was then used by the bottlers to fill individually Saving standing bottles to the consumer was saved but in this way the acquisition of a second box type and that Sort the returning ones filled with empties boxes in such for the transport of suitable with cardboard boxes and only for transport of individual bottles suitable boxes.

The side walls of such bottle crates point fingerholes in opposite sidewalls on so the buyer can carry the box comfortably when he has it in from the seller his car and then from the car to his home. Such finger holes in sidewalls of the bottle crate were soon designed larger and larger so that one could stack one another stacked bottle crates can look inside to see if filled bottles or unfilled are stored in it and what kind of drink is stored in it. So got the side walls of a bottle crate soon larger and larger openings to look into the To be able to release the inside of the box better and better. At the top it was Limiting the opening given by the handle strip forming the upper edge of the box, to the sides of the side wall by the statically necessary, for heavy ones Corner pillars designed for loads. But even down the size of the opening was in a side wall a bottle crate limited: here by the statically necessary Connection of the inner walls with the side wall, the side wall being the same height as the interior walls had to have. So the side walls kept down a height which essentially only gives the viewer a look at the neck label but not for that the content of the bottle is more meaningful Releases the label on the cylindrical body of the bottle.

To give the viewer more information about the content to give the bottle crate, crates with full-surface side walls were built and then on the side walls an image of labeled bottles in the box. But that's just a stopgap because the real content is not recognizable from the outside and in one bottling plant with several types of drink again sorting the returning ones boxes necessary is.

The invention avoids the disadvantages the state of the art. It is the object of the invention, one Bottle crate with such big ones Sidewall openings to create that Bottles in the box with their labels clearly visible from the outside and the bottles do not fall out during transport.

The invention is based on the knowledge based on that for the solution use this type of box particularly well for this task lets because at In this type of box, only one inner wall is adjacent to one side wall and must be held by it.

The invention is that the opening in the side wall upwards through a handle, to the sides through the corner pillars and down through a baseboard the side wall is limited, with the baseboard one up in the middle has directed projection to which the inner wall is coupled is in one piece by the inner wall passes into this lead.

This way a very large viewing opening is in the side wall of the box created that the standing in the box Bottles with their labels are clearly visible. there the box has excellent stability. If the automatic Loading the box, the bottles to be used hit the inside walls, they are so stable due to their coupling to the projection that no damage arises on them.

This ledge to which the inner wall is coupled, can be designed in various ways, semicircular or trapezoidal or triangular or similar To form.

With this bottle crate brings The good visibility of the bottles means that the bottles stand quite free. So that the bottles in the box do not turn around and out fall out of the box, it is appropriate that the baseboard has a height which prevents a bottle standing on the floor from tipping over.

A bottle falls out it also that the Bottom edge of the handle bar arranged lower than the height of a bottle is.

The good visibility of the bottles in this bottle crate it means that the labeling surface on one Sidewall designed according to the invention is only small. Therefore, it is useful if you have the baseboard as a carrier a lettering and uses the projection as a carrier of an emblem, whereby the emblem can be printed or molded during injection molding.

The essence of the invention is based on of exemplary embodiments shown schematically in the drawing explained in more detail. It show in perspective:

1 a bottle crate with a curved projection.

2 a bottle crate with a trapezoidal projection.

3 a bottle crate with triangular shape moderate lead.

4 a bottle crate with a semicircular projection.

The bottle crate has an all-round handle bar at the top 1 , four corner pillars 2 , two end walls 3 , a floor not visible in the drawing and a bottom bar on the long side walls 4 on the middle an upward projection 5 wearing.

The interior of the box is through two intersecting inner walls 6 divided into four subjects. In every subject 7 there are two columns firmly connected to the floor 8th for holding single bottles.

The lead 5 on the baseboard 4 is with the inner wall 6 firmly connected by the one-piece production of the box. This gives the inside walls of the box as well as the protrusion 5 and the bottom bar 4 high stability and the viewing opening under the handle 9 a large size.

In 1 the projection is curved upwards, its upper edge is curved. In 2 the protrusion is trapezoidal, in 3 triangular, in 4 semicircular.

The outside of this ledge 5 is suitable for attaching a company emblem, the baseboard 4 for wearing a label, e.g. a brewer's name.
