Abstract
Getränkekasten mit visueller Füllstandsanzeige einzelner Getränkegefäße, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Getränkekastenboden in jeder einzelnen Gefäßaufnahmekammer ein federndes Element oder mehrere federnde Elemente aufweist, dessen/deren Kraft in Richtung zu den einzusetzenden Gefäßböden wirkt, und daß die federnden Elemente aus Metallschnappscheiben oder Kunststoffschnappscheiben bestehen, die der Masse der einzusetzenden Gefäße angepasst sind.Beverage crate with visual level indicator of individual beverage containers, characterized in that the beverage crate base has a resilient element or several resilient elements in each individual container receiving chamber, the force of which acts in the direction of the vessel bases to be inserted, and that the resilient elements consist of metal snap disks or plastic snap disks which are adapted to the mass of the vessels to be used.
Description
Im Bereich des Getränkevertriebes sind Getränkekästen weit verbreitet und in unterschiedlichster Art bekannt.In the field of beverage distribution, 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.
Bei bereits bekannten Erfindungen, welche sich diesem Problem annehmen, werden jedoch nur unbefriedigende Lösungen erreicht, da Flaschen, die nur teilweise geleert eingestellt wurden, einen jeweilig zufälligen, Zwischenhöhenstand anzeigen.In the case of already known inventions which address this problem, however, only unsatisfactory solutions are achieved, since bottles which have only been partially emptied indicate a respective random intermediate level.
Der in Schutzanspruch 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 Schutzanspruch 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 Erfindung 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. Eine Schnappscheibe, im Volksmund auch Knackfrosch genannt, ist eine Feder, die so geformt ist, daß sie einen stabilen und einen metastabilen Zustand aufweist. Durch Krafteinwirkung wird sie verbogen, bis sie plötzlich durch Ausbeulen den metastabilen Zustand durchläuft. Bei Nachlassen der Krafteinwirkung springt die Feder wieder in ihren ursprünglichen Zustand zurück.The invention 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. A snap disk, also popularly known as a cracking frog, is a spring that is shaped in such a way that it has a stable and a metastable state. It is bent by the application of force until it suddenly passes through the metastable state through bulging. When the force decreases, the spring springs back to its original state.
Durch die Ausgestaltung der Form und / oder Stärke kann die zur Verwendung kommende Schnappscheibe den Masseverhältnissen der spezifischen leeren und vollen Getränkeflaschen angepasst werden, und somit einer zuverlässigen Anzeigefunktion dienen.Due to the design of the shape and / or thickness, the snap disc used can be adapted to the mass ratios of the specific empty and full beverage bottles, and thus serve a reliable display function.
Die Ausgestaltung wie im Schutzanspruch 2 und Schutzanspruch 3 angegeben, ermöglicht dem jeweiligen Getränkekastenhersteller das entsprechende Federelement seiner Vorliebe und technischen Möglichkeit anzuwenden, wie zum Beispiel: angespritzte Federlaschen, Federstahlbandeinlagen, u.a.The configuration as specified in protection claim 2 and protection 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, spring steel band inserts, etc.
