Bottle crate

The invention relates to a bottle crate, in particular made of plastic

At garden parties, smaller and larger festivals and events, the caps, especially crown corks, from soda and beer bottles are carelessly thrown onto the ground and represent a pollutant for the environment.

Bottle openers are often not readily available, so that they often have to be searched for and brought in a laborious manner.

The object of the invention is to create a bottle crate in which the bottle can be opened easily without a separate bottle opener.

This object is achieved according to the invention by a bottle opener which is integrated into the bottle crate and is manufactured into a crate side wall.

Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to leave the caps removed from the bottles in the area of the crate so that environmental pollution is excluded.

of the bottle opener in place of the first removed bottle, in particular a paper bag.

Further features of the invention emerge from the other subclaims.

The subject matter of the invention extends not only to the features of the individual claims, but also to their combination.

The plastic bottle crate according to the invention is equipped with an integrated bottle opener during manufacture, so that the bottles can be opened directly on the crate after they have been removed, and a bottle opener is therefore available at all times.

This bottle opener is made from a cost-effective sheet metal part that can be inexpensively integrated into the side wall of a box.

Cheerfully, in the box, below the bottle opener, after removing the first bottle, a collecting container, preferably a paper bag, is inserted into the

the VoA automatically collects the caps removed from the bottles and can be collected in the crate area and then disposed of as waste in an environmentally friendly manner.

The drawing shows an embodiment of the invention , which is explained in more detail below. It shows:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a Bottle box with integrated bottle opener..

Fig. 2 a vertical section through a bottle crate wall with a bottle opener embedded in it,

Fig. 3 a top view of the corner area of the bottle crate with bottle opener,

Fig. 4 a front view of the bottle crate corner area according to Fig. 3 with bottle opener,

Fig. 5 a vertical section through the box base area below the bottle opener with an inserted collecting container for the bottle caps.

The bottle crate according to the invention consists in particular of plastic and has a bottle opener (2) for ash closure caps (3), in particular crown corks, integrated in a side wall (1).

In the side wall (1) there is an insertion and through-opening (4) for the closure caps (3) of the bottles (6) standing in the box, which is connected to the bottle opener (2) at the bottom and to the inside of the box (5).

The bottle opener (2) is preferably inserted into a corner area of the box below the upper edge of the box (la) and is fixed in the plastic box (its side wall (1)) during manufacture.

The bottle opener (2) is made of a hook-like steel sheet with an opening edge (7) pointing downwards on the outside and a support wall (8) pointing diagonally inwards and downwards for the bottle closure (3), whereby the support wall (8) together with the side wall (1) forms the insertion and drop-through opening (4).

In the lower corner area of the box, below the bottle opener (2), there is a removable collecting container (9), preferably a paper bag, into which the bottle caps (3) automatically fall when the bottle (6) is opened.

As can be seen from Fig. 2, the bottle (6) with its cap (3) is inserted into the bottle opener (2) at an angle and the bottle cap (3) is opened behind the opening edge (7) of the bottle neck, whereby the support wall (8) provides a barrier when the bottle (6) is opened by pressing downwards. The loosened bottle cap (3) then falls down into the collecting container (9).
