Body and be held in an inclined position. This is tedious and arduous. From bumps in the bottle crate As a result of arm fatigue, minor injuries can occur. Furthermore, care must be taken when wearing it ensure that the bottles do not fall out of the bottle crate.

With known carrying devices, bottle crates can be carried with one hand, but only in a horizontal position. This in turn requires a splay of the arm from the body when carried. Such transport is also tiring. The problem of the effortless Carrying a bottle crate is so far unsolved for a person.

The standardized bottle crates are in the bottling plants exposed to rough operation and must not have any protruding parts due to the forced operation. A Attaching handles to the outside of the box is therefore not possible. Such a grip would also hinder the tight stacking of bottle crates during transport.

The invention is based on the object of providing a support

to create device for bottle crates with which the

Effort with a comfortable and fatigue-free arm position

is limited to the actual weight to be carried.

This task is characterized by that in claim 1 Invention solved.
