Description

The invention relates to a bottle carrier with a several bottoms and a carrying handle.

Known bottle carriers of this type are made of strong metal wire shaped. The bottom consists of a crosswise network this wire and at a distance from the ground is a wire ge Formed border provided by wire sections with is connected to the floor and surrounds a compartment, which in turn formed from crossing wires and at a distance from Floor is arranged. This compartment holds them in this carrier  bottles set by the longitudinal bracket, also made of strong wire. With some known carriers of this type correspond to the height of the bracket also the height of a usual 1 liter bottle, so that the hand grabbed the handle between the top ends of the bottle necks comes to rest.

The invention has for its object a bottle carrier to develop that compared to the well-known bottle carriers Has improvements.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the bottom of the carrier quill and a board-like upright Sidebar are attached.

Bottle crates with quills are known per se, these have However, on the outer walls that the when stacking Take up the resulting load on bottle crates. In contrast, are missing such walls in the bottle carrier according to the invention. This has several advantages. With bottle crates, the walls must be off have savings so that the bottles in the box can be viewed, at least in the area of their labels. In contrast, the bottle carrier according to the invention set bottles are fully visible above the sidebar. The bottle holder according to the invention can be very produce much simpler tools than the known bottles carrier when the bottle carrier, like most currently be knew bottle crates, made of a suitable plastic is injected.

The fla set in the bottle carrier according to the invention are also visible from all sides. The quills can  be of any height. The only in the spaces between the bottles arranged quills can be used for a secure hold the bottles or a lot because of the noise reduction be formed higher than the height of the sidebar, which yes Bottle labels should not cover.

In embodiments of the invention, the sidebar is lower than a quarter of the height of the support bracket or lower than half the height of the quill. In one embodiment the invention, the height of the quills is about half of Height of the support bracket above the floor. It is particularly suitable the carrier according to the invention for setting six in one Carton packed bottles, a so-called "six pack".

The carrier can have one or more transverse walls and thus Divide compartments in a desired size.

In one embodiment of the invention, the height corresponds a transverse wall of the height of the bracket. This embodiment is particularly suitable in connection with an embodiment of a carrier, with the recess on the underside of the floor are provided in which the upper end of the bracket and Cross wall of a beam underneath when stacked stacking can intervene. Because the transverse wall and the bracket are of the same height they form a secure support for a frame carrier.

The support bracket can be made in embodiments of the invention consist of a stable bar. In other embodiments the invention, however, is the support bracket through to the floor reaching wall sections preferably with box profile ver strengthens. These wall sections can be individually and at a distance  be provided from each other. In other embodiments of the Invention, the bracket is designed as a solid wall bracket and has a recess in the area of a handle. Located If this handle is in the middle of the bracket, there is one cross crossing this bracket in the vertical central plane wall in the area of this handle, so far, that when the hand engages in the recess on the bracket the transverse wall does not disturb the hand that grips the handle. The transverse wall can also be designed as a solid wall girder be so that the reinforced by wall sections, along ver running support bracket and the transverse wall strong enough in order to absorb the load that occurs when stacking one on top of the other to take.

In embodiments of the invention, the bracket can two have handles located outside the center. In this The trap has a stable cross in the middle of the box.

In one embodiment of the invention, carrying brackets and Transverse wall the carrier in four compartments with two quills each Holds six bottles. The dimensions are then chosen that a six-pack can be placed in a compartment.

Further features of the invention result from the following Description of an embodiment of the invention in connection with the claims and the drawing. The individual characteristics can each individually or in groups in embodiments of the Invention to be realized.

Fig. 1 is a diagram of an embodiment of the bottle carrier;

Figures 2, 3 and 4 this embodiment of the invention in plan view, longitudinal side view and transverse side view.

Fig. 5, 6 and 7 show another embodiment of the invention, in turn, side view, in plan view, side view and longitudinal cross.

In the embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the bottle carrier has a bottom 1 , on the edge of which a rim-like upstanding rim 2 is fastened. The bottom 1 has protrusions 3 extending below the lower edge of the edge strip 2 , in which at least one recess 4 extending in the vertical transverse central plane and one recess 5 extending in the longitudinal central plane are provided. The recesses 4 and 5 are used when stacking the carriers according to the invention to accommodate parts located on the upper edge of the carriers. The projections 3 do not extend all the way to the outer edges of the floor, but keep a distance from this edge, so that a shoulder 6 adjoins the edge strip 2 , with which the wearer can, if necessary, in a manner known per se on the upper edge can support a bottle crate underneath.

On the floor 1 , a bracket 7 is attached, the sections 8 is supported on the floor 1 via wall. The wall sections 8 are formed as a hollow body, the outer edges 9 of the bracket are conical upwards. Below a handle 10 , the underside of which is designed as a lamellar handle and therefore has a small spacing from each other, there is a recess 11 which in this embodiment extends to the bottom 1 . On the floor 1 there is also a transverse wall 12 divided into two sections, which are spaced apart in the middle in the region of the handle 10 , which is so large that a hand can comfortably engage in the handle 10 . The edges of the wall sections 12 facing the recess 11 have a step 13 and from there the recess tapers to the floor. Through the transverse walls 8 and 12 , the carrier is divided into four compartments 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 . Provided on the bottom of each compartment are two quills 18 and 19 which are spaced from one another and which, in the embodiment shown, have a cross-shaped cross section, as is known for engaging in the interstices of the bottles which are accommodated in a six-pack. The quills engage through recesses in the bottom of the outer carton into the spaces between the bottles surrounded by the outer carton.

The sleeves 18 and 19 have a height which corresponds to approximately half the height of the wall sections 8 and the support bracket 7 . The edge strip 2 can be of any height, in this embodiment, the height of this edge strip is somewhat less than a quarter of the height of the support bracket 7 . Both the wall sections 8 and the wall sections 12 are designed as hollow bodies which are open at the bottom, and the same applies to the quills 18 and 19 . The bottom 1 has recesses 20 in a manner known per se. Plates 21 , on which the quills 18 , 19 are fastened, are held in the ground by webs 22 . The upper edges of the wall sections 8 and 12 end in the same plane, so that the upper edges of the wall sections form a flat support for a superimposed carrier and engage in the recesses gene 4 and 5 in the shelter 3 at the bottom of the carrier and stacked carriers securely and can hold non-slip.

The embodiment of FIGS. 5 to 7 differs from the embodiment of FIGS . 1 to 4 in wesent union only in that the bracket 23 two handles 24 and 25 arranged at a distance from the center and between them, that is, in the middle of the carrier, has a stable column 26 to which the two sections 27 and 28 of the transverse wall are connected or molded. Again, the upper edge of the transverse wall 27 , 28 are in the same plane as the upper edge of the support bracket 23 and again cutouts 29 and 30 are provided below the handles 24 , 25 .

The edge strip 2 can be designed as an advertising medium.

It is not necessary for the cutouts 11 , 29 and 30 to extend to the bottom 1 , rather the lower edge of these cutouts can also be formed by upstanding strips 34 which form the wall pieces of the walls 8 and 31 , 32 , 33 designed as hollow bodies connect with each other near the ground. This Lei most can have the same height as the sidebar 2 .
