Description

The invention relates to a bottle carrier made of cardboard or other foldable flat material with a box-shaped carrier with a bottom wall, longitudinal walls and end walls, a parallel to the two longitudinal walls center wall in the carrier, the top has a carrying handle and parallel to the end walls transverse webs between the middle wall and the longitudinal walls for forming compartments in the carrier for holding bottles.

Cup-like container carrier of the type mentioned (so-called "open basket carrier") are known. They can be made from one or more blanks of foldable flat material. The flat material is mostly cardboard. They serve in particular for the storage and transport of bottles, in particular of beverage bottles.

Such bottle carriers and their production from a single blank or from several blanks are particularly in the EP 0 690 009 A1 . DE 298 10 833 U1 . DE 299 11 034 U1 . EP 1 772 393 B1 . EP 1 958 886 B1 described.

In the known, open-top bottle carriers is disadvantageous that buyers can easily remove individual bottles from the compartments, so that only partially stocked bottle carrier are available for sale. This can lead to billing errors if the price for the entire packaging unit is settled.

The EP 0 452 563 A1 describes a cup-like bottle carrier from a one-piece blank of foldable flat material. The falling out or taking out of individual bottles is prevented by having the handle on both sides hinged flaps with cutouts for receiving bottlenecks of bottles set in the compartments. The bottles must be inserted through the open bottom into the compartments and with the necks into the flaps connected in one piece with the bottle carrier. Then the floor is closed. The filling of the bottle carrier is complicated and only possible with specially designed machines.

The FR-A-2 825 074 describes a cup-shaped bottle carrier made of foldable flat material, are placed in the cover walls with openings on the arranged in compartments bottles. The cover walls have locking tongues, which are anchored to the compartment limiting transverse webs in the carrier, so that the cover walls can not be easily removed. The locking of the cover walls with the transverse webs severely restricts the speed of machine processing of the bottle carriers.

The EP 1 829 792 B1 describes a machinable better bottle carrier, in which the cover walls are originally separated from the carrier and are connected in the machine processing via adhesive bonds to the longitudinal walls of the carrier.

The EP 2 436 612 A1 describes a bottle carrier which can be produced with sufficient stability with reduced material expenditure, in which the cover walls are connected by fold lines to connecting straps which are glued to the outer sides of the carrying handle, wherein the handle opening of the carrying handle is accessible from the outside through a free space between the connecting straps.

Bottle carriers with glued cover walls have increased manufacturing costs due to the use of glue nozzles and glue. In addition, an accurate bonding of the cover walls to the carrier is difficult, so that may result in disturbances of the external appearance. The wearing comfort is limited because the bottles are prevented when gripping the carrying handle of the glued cover walls on a lateral evasion. The removal of bottles requires a tearing of the glued cover walls. This may require a relatively high effort.

On this basis, the present invention seeks to provide a cheaper bottle carrier available, which is secured against the removal of bottles and has improved handling. Furthermore, a method for kostengrünstigeren packaging of bottles in bottle carriers should be provided so that the bottles are secured against removal from the bottle carriers and the bottle carrier have improved handling.

The object is achieved by a bottle carrier with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the bottle carrier are specified in subclaims.

• • einen kastenförmigen Tragbehälter mit einer Bodenwand, Längswänden und Stirnwänden,
• • eine zu den beiden Längswänden parallele Mittelwand im Tragbehälter, die oben einen Traggriff mit einer Grifföffnung aufweist,
• • zu den Stirnwänden parallele Querstege zwischen der Mittelwand und den Längswänden zum Bilden von Gefachen im Tragbehälter zum Aufnehmen von Flaschen und
• • Abdeckwände, die Öffnungen des Tragbehälters zwischen der Mittelwand, den Stirnwänden und den Längswänden abdecken, Durchstecköffnungen für die oberen Bereiche von in den Gefachen angeordneten Flaschen aufweisen, ursprünglich vom Tragbehälter getrennt und über Verbindungselemente mit dem Tragbehälter verbunden sind, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass
• • der Tragbehälter Ausstanzungen aufweist und
• • die Abdeckwände über Faltlinien mit Verriegelungsklappen verbunden sind, die in die Ausstanzungen hineingefaltet sind, wodurch sie die Abdeckwände mit dem Tragbehälter verriegeln.

The bottle carrier of foldable flat material according to the invention comprises

• A box-shaped carrier with a bottom wall, longitudinal walls and end walls,
• A parallel to the two longitudinal walls center wall in the carrier, which has a carrying handle with a handle opening at the top,
• • Parallel to the end walls transverse webs between the middle wall and the longitudinal walls to form compartments in the carrier for receiving bottles and
• Covering walls which cover openings of the support container between the middle wall, the end walls and the longitudinal walls, have through openings for the upper regions of arranged in the compartments bottles, originally separated from the carrier and connected by connecting elements to the carrier, characterized in that
• • The carrier has punched holes and
• The cover panels are connected by folding lines with locking flaps which are folded into the cutouts, thereby locking the cover panels to the carrier.

In the bottle carrier according to the invention, the carrier has punched and the cover walls on locking flaps. The locking flaps are arranged on the cover walls, that when attaching the cover walls over the openings of the support container, so that the bottles engage in the through openings, the locking flaps are located just above the punched and hineinfaltbar into the punched. By folding the locking flaps into the punched-out areas, the cover walls are precisely aligned with the carrier and locked to the carrier. As a result, the cover walls are connected to the carrier without the need for adhesive and adhesive nozzles must be used. The locking of the cover walls with the carrier allows a lateral deflection of the bottles when gripping the carrying handle, so that the handling is improved. The cover walls can be relatively easily separated by tearing off the locking flaps from the carrier.

Preferably, the cover walls have no additional adhesive connections with the carrier. However, the invention also includes embodiments in which in addition to the locks by the locking flaps in the punched joints between the cover walls and the carrier are available.

The locking in the punches can be made solely by the fact that the locking flaps are folded into the punched holes. The locking flaps maintain their folding caused by the tendency to the remaining parts of the cover walls, since the properties of the material are changed in the fold lines. For example, when using cardboard fibers are broken in the fold lines, so that the cardboard is not reset by restoring forces in its original form. Due to the intervention of the angled from the cover locking doors in the punched a positive connection of the cover walls is achieved with the carrier.

In addition, the locking flaps can be secured in the punches by measures that prevent unfolding of the locking flaps from the punched out. According to a preferred embodiment, for this purpose, the locking flaps have, at least in a partial region, a contour that is complementary to the punched-out sections or a contour whose dimensions exceed the dimensions of the punched-out sections. This ensures that the locking flaps are prevented from escaping from the punched out.

According to another embodiment, the punched holes are arranged in the end walls. The arrangement of the punched holes in the end walls is advantageous because the end walls are arranged transversely to the machine direction during processing of the bottle carrier. This facilitates the folding in of the locking flaps into the cut-outs, in particular if several bottle carriers are transported in parallel in the machine direction.

According to a further embodiment, the locking flaps are connected via fold lines at the lateral edges of the cover walls with the cover walls. As a result, the positioning of the cover walls on the carrier and the locking of the locking flaps is facilitated in punched-out in the end walls.

According to a further embodiment, the length of the cover walls coincides with the length of the longitudinal walls and the locking flaps are folded around the lateral edges of the cover walls in cutouts in the end walls of the support container. In this embodiment, the locking flaps can be folded into the punches around the lateral edges of the end walls.

The invention relates to embodiments in which the punched holes are alternatively or additionally present in the longitudinal walls and / or in the middle wall of the support container and the cover walls at positions locking tabs which in positioning the cover walls on the openings of the support container and engagement of the bottles in the Through openings are arranged above the punched holes. In this case, the locking flaps may be present on an outer and / or on an inner edge of the cover walls.

According to a further embodiment, which can be carried out in each of the above-mentioned arrangements of the punched-out, the locking flaps are folded lines by fold lines and the two ends of the fold lines interconnecting lines of weakness in the cover walls.

According to a further embodiment, the cut-outs are arranged adjacent to the lateral edges of the end walls. As a result, the locking flaps can be advantageously folded into cavities at the corners of the support container.

According to a further embodiment, the punches limit punching flaps which are delimited by a flap fold line and a flap weakening line connecting the two ends of the flap fold line in the carrier and are opened by pushing the punched flaps into the carrier. In this embodiment, the release of material residues in the manufacture and processing of the bottle carrier is avoided.

According to a further embodiment, the cover walls on the outer longitudinal sides on outer fold lines connected outer connecting flaps, which abut the longitudinal walls and are connected via locking flaps with the carrier. In this embodiment, the attachment of the cover walls on the carrier is particularly simple. According to a further embodiment, the locking flaps are connected by fold lines to the lateral edges of the outer connecting flaps. Alternatively, the locking flaps are formed via fold lines at the outer edges of the outer connecting flaps or fold lines whose ends are connected by lines of weakness, within the outer connecting flaps.

According to a further embodiment, the cover walls on the middle wall on the maximum distance from the bottom wall and on the longitudinal walls the smallest distance from the bottom wall. The cover walls then form a saddle roof-shaped cover of the carrier, which favors a slight movement or tilting of the bottles to the outside, whereby an intervention in the handle opening can be facilitated. Furthermore, this allows particularly material-saving designs of the carrier with low longitudinal walls and sufficiently high grip for comfortable gripping.

According to another embodiment, the cover walls have oval openings. This embodiment is particularly advantageous in saddle roof-like outwardly inclined cover walls, since it favors a close contact of the insertion openings on the bottle necks, so that the bottles are held firmly in the bottle carrier.

According to a further embodiment, the push-through openings extend from the outer fold lines, with which the outer connecting flaps are hinged to the cover walls. According to a further embodiment, the insertion openings are limited at the outer fold lines by a rectilinear edge. Here, the straight edge extends to the outer fold lines.

According to a further embodiment, the handle opening on at least one longitudinal side on a handle flap. The handle flap is folded out of the carrying handle when engaged in the handle opening. It forms a cushion which prevents the edges of the handle opening from being cut into the wearer's hand.

According to a further embodiment, the cover walls lie with their inner longitudinal sides against the middle wall in order to completely cover the openings of the support container as far as possible. According to a further embodiment, the cover walls on the inner longitudinal sides of Griffausstanzungen, which are arranged laterally next to the handle opening in the carrying handle. The Griffausstanzungen facilitate the intervention in the handle openings of the carrying handle. According to a further embodiment, the handle punched holes are trough-shaped or have the shape of a U with a broad base.

According to a further embodiment, arcuate cover strips of the cover wall are provided between at least one oval insertion opening and an adjacent handle punching. Preferably, the arcuate cover strip is located between a central through opening and the Griffausstanzung the respective cover wall. The bow-shaped cover strip closes the oval insertion opening, so that no bottle can be removed from it.

According to a further embodiment, the cover walls are substantially rectangular, corresponding to the shape of the openings in the upper region of the support container, which they preferably cover as completely as possible. According to another embodiment, the cover walls have rounded corners.

Various embodiments of the carrier are included in the invention. In particular, it can be produced from a single blank or from several blanks of foldable flat material, eg as described in the prior art mentioned above. When producing from several blanks, in particular the Middle wall and the transverse webs are made of a blank and the remaining parts of the carrier from a further blank. Furthermore, the center wall, the transverse webs and the remaining parts of the carrier can be made of a single blank.

According to a further embodiment, the foldable flat material of the carrying container and the cover walls is selected from at least one of the following materials: cardboard, cardboard, plastic. Also, combinations of the aforementioned materials are possible. According to a preferred embodiment, the carrier and the cover walls are made of cardboard.
