Description

The The invention relates to a container carrier made of foldable flat material with the above-mentioned features of claim 1.

Such container carrier (especially in the form of a "six-pack") are known, for. B. from the DE 201 08 181 U1 , They can be made from one or more blanks of the foldable sheet. Mostly they are made of cardboard and are used in particular for the transport of bottles, mainly of beverage bottles. In this case, usually a carrying handle is provided in extension of the middle wall, but this is relatively difficult to grasp between the rows of bottles and requires a lot of raw material in the production by the often double-walled design. In addition, the folding and gluing is thereby relatively complicated.

in the Beverage distribution are increasingly called. Quarter pallets used, wherein for stacking as an intermediate carrier so-called "Hartwall carrier" is used. This plate points several upstanding webs to the carrier in segments to divide. In each segment are two upstanding pins or Quillars available. These form together with the surrounding ones Stegen shots for the lateral fixation of six Bottles so that they do not fall over and do not touch each other. These carriers are mostly for 1/2 liter NRW bottles or Longneck bottles used, so glass bottles, a relative have long neck.

From that Based on the object of the invention, a container carrier to create from foldable flat material, with low material costs Easy to make and easy to use as well as high Has stability.

These Task is solved by a container carrier with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Of the Container carrier according to the invention made of foldable flat material has a carrying handle in a top wall the carrying container, wherein the carrying handle in the height direction is slidable, but after pulling out to carry through Hooks are securely fixed to the top wall. The novel top wall replaced while the otherwise usual middle wall, so now the Carrier manufactured with less material can be stored and stored in a space-saving, retractable Carrying handle allows.

Of the Container carrier according to the invention or bottle carrier is thus (eg filled with six longneck bottles) saves space in a Hartwall carrier used. For this purpose, the container carrier in the bottom wall openings into which the pins or Intervene quillons. Thus, a stable, easy to produce Container carrier provided, although this good for the return of empties suitable is.

In order to the container carrier offers high stability, If the top wall is preferably double-layered, as well the carrying handle with the insertable into the top wall hooks. These are in a simple manner by locking tabs in position secured, so that even relatively heavy containers transported safely can be. The top wall can be a small width have, namely in the manner of a roof ridge in the roof-shaped Structure. As a result, the sliding support handle is centered, the also inserted before gluing the first-like top wall can not be plugged in later needs.

According to In one embodiment, the container or bottle openings essentially oval, elliptical or oblong hole-shaped in a tear tab formed, each on the longitudinal walls roof-shaped runs to the top wall and thus stabilizes the carrier. This is particularly advantageous for the safe absorption of the bottles, whereby by simple Then tear open three bottles each quickly are. Even with remote pull tabs offers the container carrier still enough stability to z. B. the drunk Return bottles at the empties acceptance.

According to one embodiment, the container carrier in the side walls from the bottom of the side walls outgoing cutouts for holding at least part of the lower edge area of the bottles, with the side walls over Fold lines are connected to the bottom wall.

According to One embodiment is the carrying handle of the container carrier Made of cardboard by folding over several layers. This prevents particularly effective a failure of the handle and allows to get along with a simple foldable flat material. The carrying handle However, with the plug in the top wall hook can also be made thick-walled cardboard or be made as a plastic part. According to In another embodiment, the container carrier made of solid cardboard, as from the tear-open easily Scratches can be produced and the side walls are well printable are (eg with the logo of the beverage producer).

The Invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings Embodiment explained. In the drawings demonstrate:

1 a container carrier when inserting in a Hartwall carrier in a perspective view;

2 a flat spread blank of the container carrier in the plan view, and

3 a blank for the insertable telescopic handle.

1 shows a container carrier 1 made of cardboard with a box-shaped carrier 2 that has a bottom wall 3 , Longitudinal walls 4 . 5 and end walls 6 . 7 having. Furthermore, the container carrier has 1 a top wall 8th parallel to the bottom wall 3 is arranged. In the top wall 8th , which can also be designed very narrow in the manner of a roof ridge is a carrying handle 9 inserted before gluing the cover panels or inserted later, the over the carrier 2 is up. The carrying handle 9 is in each case a slot-like plug-in opening 11 inserted and thus telescopically displaceable, this movement in the height direction by hooks 10 after insertion in conjunction with locking tabs 13 (see. 2 and 3 ) is limited.

The top or top wall 8th is over in 2 shown adhesive tabs 18 with the end walls 6 . 7 connected, with the adhesive tabs 18 have central incisions, which in the assembled state under the insertion 11 lie and thus reinforce them. In addition, the carrying handle 9 with one hook each 10 at the bottom with the top wall 8th hooked. Furthermore, in 2 Slants closer shown 12 present, each between the end walls 6 . 7 and the longitudinal walls 4 . 5 are provided to the carrier 2 in the corner to the outside to demarcate.

In this carrier 2 are several, here six bottles adjustable, passing through container openings 14 prevented from touching each other in a known manner. The bottles are after removing one or both tear tabs 15 easily accessible. In the tear tabs 15 the container openings run 14 until near the multilayer top wall 8th , Between the outer openings 14 and the edge of the end walls 6 . 7 is also in each case a wedge-shaped punched out 19 present, which facilitates the folding and erecting of the carrier.

The longitudinal walls 4 . 5 own punch outs below 16 that run from their bottom edge, over fold lines to the bottom wall 3 is articulated. The same applies to punching 17 in the end walls 6 and 7 , The openings 14 as well as the punching 16 . 17 are here formed each slot-shaped.

One below the container carrier 1 illustrated Hartwall carrier 21 has z. B. six segments 22 on, each of which by lateral webs 23 is limited. Within each segment 22 stand two quills 24 with an approximately cross-shaped cross-section from the bottom of the Hartwall carrier shown here only partially 21 in front. Every segment 22 can thus accommodate six bottles, with the bottles through the sleeves 24 are prevented from mutual contact.

The container carrier 1 has in its (folded) bottom wall 3 corresponding, in 2 shown Pinolenausstanzungen 24 ' , When inserting the container carrier 1 into a segment 22 Hartwall vehicle 21 penetrate the sleeves 24 through the Pinolenausstanzungen 24 ' in the container carrier 1 a, wherein the lower portions of the bottles are kept apart or centered. For easy insertion, it is helpful that the lower edge of the end walls 6 . 7 and the longitudinal walls 4 . 5 slightly bevelled.

The following is based on 2 a cut 25 explains from which a container carrier 1 according to 1 can be produced. The cut 25 owns as the largest areas of the container carrier 1 the longitudinal walls 4 . 5 who prefer to wear a print. At the bottom of the longitudinal walls 4 and 5 is a part of the bottom wall via a crease line 3 hinged. The bottom wall 3 is formed by four such sections to be folded over in an overlapping manner. In the middle region of the bottom wall parts are each V-shaped Pinolenausstanzungen 24 ' for inserting the sleeves 24 of the Hartwall vehicle described above 21 , At the outer, here lateral edges of the longitudinal wall 5 and the front wall 6 is ever a glue flap 12 ' hinged when erecting the container carrier 1 glued together to then also form a slope in the corner.

At the top of the end walls 6 and 7 are over crease lines cover wall sections 18 hinged, the roof-shaped run. These have above incisions, which then with the insertion openings 11 on a longitudinal central axis of the carrier 2 (in the connected or erect state) match and thus the top wall 8th reinforce, especially in the main load area in which the carrying handle 9 is applied.

At the top wall sections 18 are also side tabs 18 ' articulated via creasing lines and wedge-shaped cutouts 19 intended. This results in a light erection of the carrier and a stable roof-shaped structure.

In addition, the tabs 18 ' to the pull-tab 15 adjacent, in which the slot-shaped container openings 14 punched out (here to Auf taking the respective neck of the bottle).

In 3 is a blank of the carrying handle 9 shown. This consists of two handle halves, which are folded over their central axis over each other, as indicated by the dotted arrow. The hand-bar-like parts in this case have a width B, which is the hook 10 extended with the width A The two hooks 10 be in the insertion 11 the top wall 8th plugged in like this in the lower left corner 3 is indicated or before the bonding of the top wall flaps 8th . 8th' between these inserted. When passing the hook 10 through the slot-shaped insertion openings 11 respectively. 11 ' become laterally attached locking tabs 13 pressed on, but then spring back and thus pulling out the carrying handle 9 Stop, because then the corners of the hook 10 at the bottom of the top wall 8th or the locking tabs 13 issue.

The container carrier 1 is completed as follows. First, the end tabs 12 ' folded against each other and glued, with the bottom wall parts to the bottom wall 3 be folded. Then the cover wall sections 18 collapsed and together with the top wall 8th . 8th' and the adhesive tabs 18 ' glued to the roof-shaped structure. Then the according to 3 manufactured carrying handle 9 from above into the plug-in openings 11 be plugged in, where this with his hook 10 as described above on the locking tabs 13 latched, however, can still be lifted upwards by a few centimeters to the container 1 comfortable to wear. The carrying handle 9 However, it can also be inserted before gluing.

It should be noted that the blank 25 compared to carriers with a center wall, a material saving of about 30% possible. Despite the lack of costly middle wall offers the proposed container carrier 1 in the erected state a high stability and good handling.
