Bottle packaging

The present invention relates to a bottle packaging, which consists of a bottle crate made of plastic, the Inside is divided into bottle compartments by faoh walls, and in which the bottles are also in a carton in the bottle crate can be used.

Beer bottles come in various packaging forms brought to the market «One form of packaging is through Plastic bottle crate divided into bottle compartments, in which the beer bottles are set individually. This form of packaging has turned out to be special Tried and tested as it is used to transport the bottles to and from them. Such plastic boxes are widely used.

73A1528H.3.74

Another form of packaging is the so-called outer box. A piece of cardboard is planted around four, seohs or eight bottles, so that a stand is created for the beer bottles. This stretcher enables the transport of the small number of bottles for domestic use from the grocer to the individual household.The bottles packed in outer boxes are transported from the brewery to the grocer in corrugated cardboard boxes, so that units with more than four, seohs or eight can be transported Bottles are available because the small units of four, seohs or aoht flasohen are too cumbersome to unload and stack. Such bottles packed in cardboard boxes are still today all single-use bottles that have to be thrown away after use. They fill the garbage cans and landfills - on the producer side, however, they appear as a very significant cost factor, which makes up to J0% of the total price.

In order to eliminate this disadvantage, 4 is a bottle clogging become known, which consists of a stackable bottle crate made of plastic, which both for the Transport of loose as well as for the transport of bottles packed in cardboard boxes and which one is suitable consisting of four side walls with reinforced edges at the top and bottom, a floor and the individual fiberglass compartments forming façade walls. The plastic bottle case is through at least one extending from one side wall of the flash box to the other Wall divided into compartments and located in each compartment at least one spacer that holds the individual

bottles placed in the bottle crate from each other separates. Should the bottles be placed in two rows in cardboard boxes of ssohs each and if four of these cartons, each filled with six bottles, are to be placed in a bottle crate, see above the bottle crate has two faoh walls that cross each other in its interior, which form the interior of the Raschenlesten divide into four Fäoher. A carton with six bottles can be placed in each of these four bottle compartments be placed inside. In each flash compartment there are two column-shaped spacers, which are in cross-section "I" are formed in a star shape; Bottom of the% outer boxes star-shaped holes are punched out so that these spacers can reach into the outer box from below can. These two spacers in each bottle holder ensure that the bottles are kept in place during transport not be able to collide.

With this bottle packaging, the bottles cannot stand as close to one another in the outer box as they did before was possible with the outer boxes packed in corrugated cardboard boxes.

In order to be able to keep the bottles as tightly as possible in the outer carton, as has been the case so far, it has been proposed to design the bottle crate so that the height of the side walls is at least equal to the height corresponds to the lowest façade walls in the box plus the height of the bottles to be transported The height of the compartment walls is different, it increases in one step towards the side walls.

When the bottles packed in the outer carton are placed in this jar case, the bottoms are there the outer boxes on the bottle compartment walls. The raised parts of the oeicen walls give the outer boxes of a bracket on the side. The outer boxes are narrower than the interior of the bottle crate. Are On the other hand, bottles that are not packed in cartons, according to Steher, should be transported in the individual bottle compartments. The arrangement of the bottle compartments does not in any way need to correspond to the arrangement of the bottles in the outer carton to correspond, for example, a honeycomb bottle compartment arrangement can be selected while the bottles in the outer carton are in two rows of bottles.

Another own suggestion for a bottle packaging it provides that the shape of the middle and lower part of the outer cartons the shape of the compartment walls of the bottle crate is adapted. Here, the bottle crate is provided with compartment walls that only move in one direction extend and are arranged at an acute angle to the vertical, wherein they 3ich downwardly widening bulges or Have recesses for receiving the bottles.

All of these mentioned solutions for the simultaneous Transporting bottles and outer boxes in a plastic bottle crate have the demands placed on them solved satisfactorily. Even so, improvements are still desirable. When executed, the The height of the boxes is greater than usual. In another version, the outer boxes are weakened in the bottom

Sometimes it is also not possible to use existing packaging machines for bottle crates and emptying machines to continue to be used for bottle crates. The different arrangement of the bottles makes - although the deviations only slightly - the use of specially adjusted machines is necessary.

Avoid this !; the present invention. It is the object of the present invention to provide bottle packaging to create, in which the flash compartment subdivision is conventional, various types of outer cartons are usable and the arrangement of the bottles is also conventional, so that existing machines can be used for packing and emptying the bottle crates.

The invention consists in that the outer carton has a slot in the bottom in the area between each two bottles has, which extends into the lower part of both longitudinal side walls and that those Faoh walls, which engage in slots in the outer box are higher in their middle area than on the sides.

Hereby it is achieved that very simple and well-known Outer cartons can be used if they only have slots in the bottom and in the lower part of the rare walls have between two flashes. A cardboard box can be used * which only has two side walls

has and in which the Plasohen through openings be kept in the outer box by part of the flash bottom reaching into such an opening and by the bottle neck also reaches into such an opening »

However, outer boxes in the form of folding boxes can also be used can be used, which has four side walls. These give understandable catfish to the set flashes an even more secure hold.

It is useful if the façade walls that surround the outer box are at least as high as the ones Faoh walls in their middle area, which engage in the slots in the Flatsohaohtel.

If bottles are to be carried in two rows with a cardboard box, it is useful if two for the Single-row transport tied outer cartons at the upper end of their one side wall.

The essence of the present invention is based on an exemplary embodiment shown in the newspaper explained. Show it:

Fig. 12 is a view of the outer box of the Flg. 6, folded for the transport from the outer box manufacturer to the Flasohenverpaoker.

The bottle crate in FIG. 1 has four side walls and a base 2. He is through Faoh walls J in divided into five different departments, each holding four bottles 4. These departments are yours duroh compartment walls 5 divided into four individual bottle compartments. Faoh walls 5 are low on their sides, in the middle but just as high as the Faoh walls 3. So the middle, near the top extending part

has a high stability, vertical ribs are υ intended for stiffening.

The low part 5A of the compartment walls 5 is integral in the Fachwändo 3 or "in a compartment 2 and a Side wall 1 over. The pulled up part ^ B of the side wall 5 bring the advantage that a plastic wall between each two Bottles is led.

In department A, bottles are individually placed in the bottle crate. In department B there are bottles in one Cardboard box, which only has two side walls and is open on the other two sides. In the Department C is a box with four side walls. In departments D and E befinc a cardboard box that holds two rows of bottles.

In Fig. 3 to 5 the outer box is now shown in detail, which is set in department D and which has two side walls while after is open to the other two sides. This outer carton has openings 9 in the lower part 7 next to the base 8 through which part of the bottom of the bottle 4 can pass in a manner known per se. In the side wall 10 are in the upper part 10A holes 11 through which the bottle necks pass. The other side Wall 7 has handle holes 12 at its upper end on, it has two handle holes 12, because at the fold line 13, the uppermost part of the side wall 7 surrounded will beat. The side wall 10 has at its upper

End of an elongated hole 14., Through which the end of the Side wall 7 is pushed through with the handgrips, so that the outer carton is tightly closed thereby is.

When packing the bottle necks are first through the Holes 14 passed through, then the box is on the P'laschen turned around and finally pulled the upper end of the side wall 7 through the hole 14. Since the outer box now has slots 15 in the bottom 8 and in the lower part of the side walls 7, which are shown in FIG are located in the middle between two bottles 4, the carton together with the bottles can be in the bottle crate of Fig. 1 can be set. The compartment walls 5 now engage in the slots 15. The raised part 5B extend right up into the outer box. Since the compartment wall 5 is nu low on the sides, they need Slots 15 in the side walls 7, 10 are also only low to be so that the outer box loses very little stability through these slots 15.

Flg "6 to 8 shows another box, which can also be inserted into the bottle crate of FIG. This outer box has four side walls on, two longitudinal walls 16 and two short side walls 17 · In the bottom and in the lower area of the side walls 16 there are again slots I5 at a location between two bottles 4 each. The side walls have one or two handle holes 12 at their upper end. the narrow side walls do not extend over the entire height of the bottle, but only over part of the same. They have a fold line 18, while the bottom

- 10 -

has a fold line 20. Adhesive tabs 21 serve to glue the side walls 17 * together. You can can also be arranged differently and serve to flatten the side walls 17 against the side walls 16. Pig «12 shows how such a glued cardboard blank from the manufacturer of the one-off cardboard box can be transported in the folded state to the bottle packer. DAq outer boxes are here folded very closely with their two side walls 16 lying on top of one another. For packing they will unfolded. This unfolding happens automatically when the outer carton is in the bottle crate is put into it. If the bottle crate is provided with outer boxes, common Paokmasohinen can use the bottles. A closure of the outer cartons does not need to be made here, since the outer cartons are closed can be made by customers. Because these outer boxes can be closed with a single movement.

In the Flg. 9 to 11 an outer carton is shown which essentially corresponds to the outer carton of FIGS. 6 to 8, but is designed in two rows in such a way that a side wall 16 of one half of the carton is at the fold line 22 is related to the upper end of the side wall 16 of the other part. They are here for the individual Parts of the carton blank selected the same digits. Fold lines are indicated by dashed lines. the Compartment walls 5 also pass through slots 15 here, the compartment wall 3, on the other hand, lies under the fold between two side walls 16.

In this embodiment, however, one side wall 16A is shorter than the other outer side wall 16b, so the handle holes 12 liegjenj .jcome one on top of the other.
