Stackable slide box

The present invention relates to a stackable slide box made of thermoplastic material Inside compartment for holding two longitudinal rows of bottles, the one protruding downwards, laterally inwards offset bottom edge in the stacked state dips into the box opening of the lower box, with the underside of the cross-grid floor is aligned with the horizontal stacking edge, where the box width corresponds to half the length of the box and in which a handle is provided in the middle, below which the Inner compartment and the bottom in two spaced apart at least the width of the handle Parts is split to form a mold release opening for the handle.

Such a bottle crate is known from German utility model 7 241 541. This Bottle crate has the disadvantage that there are two columns in the middle of the crate for holding the handle must be created that the space requirement is significantly higher than with conventional high bottle crates and that the consumption of plastic material is also considerably higher than with known bottle crates This bottle crate is built in such a way that the crate width corresponds to half the crate length and in the middle fields the left and right next to an imaginary transverse center plane box halves each have a support column is, whose upper end surface is flush with the edge of the box and the lower installation surface slightly above the bottom of the box bottom protrudes, with a surrounding the footprint at the lower end of the column, except for the Height of the bottom edge of the centering edge, which is drawn forward, is formed, the inner diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the column end face.

Since the handle lengthways this for transport of ten beer bottles is provided, there must be at least one in the middle in the longitudinal direction the width of the handle corresponding free space can be provided as a demolding opening, which is not can be used for the transport of bottles. Because the outer walls have a length-to-width ratio of 1 »2, the side walls on the longitudinal sides must also have a considerable width. As a result, a relatively large amount of space is lost, which is only filled with air, not with beer bottles.

Two pillars are to be made to hold the handle. These pillars require additional requirements of plastic material compared to conventional bottle crates. Another additional requirement for plastic material occurs both through the division of the inner compartment into two parts through the fact that a long bottle wall must also be produced, as well as the required wide design of the rare walls.

The present invention avoids these disadvantages and creates a bottle crate with a centrally arranged Carrying handle * which only requires a small amount of plastic material «exceptionally space-saving is and has a very significantly increased stability.

The invention consists in «that the handle is from one long side extends to the other long side.

An unexpected technical success is achieved by this extremely simple measure. The space required for the The placement of the bottles - converted to the same number of bottles - is 20J6 lower than that Bottle crate described at the outset. The bottles stand up in a large stack of bottle crates less space and therefore also need less transport space.

The material requirement is only increased by the material requirement for a short bottle wall »not by

the material requirements for two pillars and a long plasma wall.

The stability of the box is significantly increased by the fact that the upper edge together with the handle two approximately square openings and that this conception of two square components continues down to the ground. The short handle, together with the doubling of the short one Compartment walls in the middle of the box give this a very much increased stability, which is much greater, As you could have expected after the additional consumption of material

It is useful if the upper edge of the handle is aligned with the upper edge of the box walls. Through this on the one hand an increase in stability, on the other hand a very favorable division of the bottle crate for stacking achieved in two parts with a square plan.

For this division into two parts with a square plan, it is useful if the width of the handle corresponds to twice the outer edge width of the box.

It is advantageous if the handle is a U-Foni having. This increases the stability of both the box and the stability of the handle and easier to carry because the lower arch

snugly when carried in the hand.

It is useful »if the U-shaped Carrying handle two holes next to the side walls for draining washing liquid during cleaning of bottle crates *

It is beneficial for the stability of the box » when ribs merging into the crosswinds extend near the bottom under the handle · These ribs are easy to demold in the overall design of the box, they use relatively little material for theirs Manufacture and are able to significantly increase the stability.

It is useful »if the top edge of the box goes through the arrangement of the handle includes two square openings, the dimensions of which are two protruding below, correspond to the laterally inwardly offset bottom edges.

With this structure of the box you do not need significant measures to stabilize the box corners by ribs or the like to be provided. It is sufficient if there are two outwardly protruding on the rounded Kasteneoke Connect U-profiles, which then merge into the rare walls.

Appropriately, you will be on these U-profiles per se Provide known ribs that have a mutual vertical

and then the bottle crate will slide horizontally avoid when a row of slide boxes through the laterally engaging jaws of a H ;; tool are recorded.

The essence of the present invention is based on one The exemplary embodiment shown schematically in the drawing a box for eight bottles. Show it:

Fig. 1 is a side view of the box.

Pig, Figure 2 is a cross-section in the longitudinal direction of the box.

The bottle crate has long sides 1 and broad sides on. Between these are PaohwKnde 2 and 4, which limit the individual Piaschenfächer. In the middle of the bottle crate there is a handle on the upper band 5 from one long side 1 to the other long side. This handle has holes 6 for flying out Wash water on. It goes down into a rib 7, which serves to reinforce the longitudinal wall 1. Below of the handle 5 there is a downwardly continuous opening 3, which is in the area of the Piaschenfachwandungen divided by the two Faoh walls 3a is «The handle and the opening 8 thus form a separation for two parts of the box which are square in plan and which are

Leadership game contain four bottles each. "Through the Handle 5 is the top edge of the slide box designed so that two square openings 9 arise, through each of the four bottles in the Piaschenkasten can be used. Corresponding to these openings 9, the bottom is also divided into two parts, which are with their downwardly protruding bottom ribs 10 are able to enter these square openings 9, wherein a firm stand of the box stacked on top is achieved · by appropriately dimensioning Handle width and box edge width such that the The width of the handle corresponds to twice the width of the box edge, is achieved that the box is also stacked crosswise can be. So a row of boxes can be moved in a vertical direction to the bottom or to the bottom. stack rows of boxes stacked on top. I am a particularly stable association - e.g. for stacking on pallets achieved by placing an odd number of broads in a row of boxes, and that in the row of boxes stacked above these not only in the vertical axis direction " but can also be stacked offset by a box width, so that the boxes form a particularly durable composite.

With this design of the box, ee is sufficient if the Kasteneeken have the cross section of a quarter circle 1 ι, which are followed by two U-profiles 12, which merge into the longitudinal wall 1 or * the transverse wall 2. This· U-profiles 12 wear well-known on their outside Ribs 12, 14, which - vertically 2U-arranged one to the other vertical or horizontal displacement of one another
