Definitions

  • boxes usually made of plastic, comprising internal partitions which isolate the objects transported from each other and prevent them from move or collide during handling.
  • Such boxes have a total height slightly greater than that of the objects they contain. They can stack on top of each other but when they are empty they occupy the same volume as when they are full, which is a disadvantage for their storage between two jobs and even for their return empty when they have been used for transport of objects delivered in lost packaging.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved box which avoids these drawbacks and allows safe transport and storage or return with minimal bulk.
  • This invention indeed relates to a crate which has a perforated bottom, external partitions constituted by arms inclined two by two in opposite directions, and also internal partitions constituted by arms inclined in two opposite directions, these arms starting from solid parts of the bottom and being joined at their top to at least one other internal or external arm, so that their upper parts project horizontally inside the empty spaces the bottom.
  • an outer upper belt is carried by the arms of the outer partitions. Thanks to this arrangement, the objects which rest on solid parts of the perforated bottom are separated from each other and held by several inclined arms with which they are in contact and which, joined at their top, form hollow pyramids open at their base. .
  • Several identical boxes can thus fit into each other under a reduced volume when they are empty, the pyramids of one penetrating into the pyramids of the other.
  • when they are full they can be superimposed on each other after reorientation of each of them, around a vertical axis, with respect to the previous one of the stack, the lower ends of the arms of a box taking support on the tops of the corresponding arms of the lower body.
  • the interior arms have the same height as the exterior arms and the bottom of the upper box can rest on all of the vertices of the pyramids formed by these arms, which reinforces the solidity of the stack.
  • the arms of the interior partitions are shorter than those of the exterior wall but they retain a constant vertical thickness, so that the nesting and stacking of the box with other similar ones remains possible.
  • a box according to the invention comprises an openwork bottom formed by two series of parallel crosspieces 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6, which are cut at right angles. •
  • Each of these crosspieces is constituted by a U-shaped section profile, comprising a sole 7 and two lower lateral ribs 8 and 9, which increase its resistance to bending. These ribs interpenetrate at the crossroads of the two crosspieces and thus form between them a housing 10, of square section, open at its base and closed at its upper part by the soles 7 combined of the crossings which cross (fig. 2).
  • the sleepers 1, 2 and 3 or 4, 5 and 6 of the same series are equidistant and in addition the distance between the sleepers 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 is the same as that which separates the sleepers 4 and 5 or 5 and 6.
  • the set of crosspieces is also inscribed in an imaginary rectangle whose sides form an angle of 45 ° with each of the crosspieces 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The set of these crosspieces thus forms a network with square meshes in its central part and with incomplete triangular meshes on its edges whose perimeter is marked out by extreme knots.
  • the network comprises three central nodes 11, 12 and 13 formed at the intersection of the crosspieces 2 and 4, 2 and 5 and 5 and 3, five end nodes 14, 15, 16 , 17 and 18 located respectively at the junction of the ends of the crosspieces 5 and 1, 1 and 4, 4 and 3, 3 and 6, 6 and 2, and in addition two end nodes 19 and 20 formed by the free end of the crosspieces 2 and 5.
  • the number of extreme nodes located on the periphery of the bottom of the box at equal distance from each other, along this periphery, is therefore an odd number, seven in this case.
  • each of the arms is fixed at its base to two adjacent crosspieces of the knot and protrudes inside the box by converging towards the arm or the arms fixed to the adjacent knots of the same mesh.
  • the square mesh delimited by the crosspieces 5, 2, 6 and 3 joined to the nodes 12, 18, 17 and 13 supports a pyramid trunk formed by four arms 21, 22, 23 and 24 which each start from the 'one of the angles of this stitch.
  • the arms 21, 22, 23 and 24 converge towards each other and are joined at their top at 25; in the same way the other square meshes of the box shown in Figure 1 each support a pyramid formed by four fixed arms in the corners of this mesh.
  • the triangular links also support inclined arms connected to their top and constituting portions of the pyramid.
  • the triangular mesh formed by the cross 5 and the cross 2 of Figure 2 supports three arms 26, 27 and 28 joined at 29 at their top.
  • arms 30 and 31 converging towards each other and joined at their top 32 leave from the two ends of the cross-member 6 in line with the nodes 18 and 17.
  • the pyramids or portions of the pyramid are such that they project horizontally into the perforated parts of the bottom; as a result, the vertices 29 or 32 of the external partial pyramids are practically aligned with the nodes 14 and 18 or 17 and 20 for example.
  • each of the inclined arms is formed by an angle whose wings are each secured to one of the adjacent crosspieces.
  • the width of these flanges is greater at the lower part of the arm than in its central part, as is clearly shown in Figure 2.
  • each of the pyramids formed by the sides comprises arm, p arallins to sleepers, which are indented according to a polygonal profile. At their apex these faces are truncated and joined to each other at 25, 29 or 32 by a head whose side has a length substantially equal to the width of the crosspieces.
  • Each of the heads 25, 29 or 32 carries in its center a centering stud 33 having a frustoconical profile whose diameter at the base is slightly less than the internal width of the housing 10 provided at the crossing sleepers.
  • the height of this stud is equal to or slightly less than the height of the ribs 8 and 9 of these same crosspieces.
  • These nipples 33 like the vertices of the pyramids, are distributed all around the body, at equal distance between the nodes ex trmes 17, 20, 16, 19, 15, 14 and 18. They are therefore also in an odd number, seven in number in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the belt 35 is connected to each of these heads 29 and 32, by a horizontal extension 36 and two inclined lateral tabs 38.
  • the belt 35 comprises indeed a vertical skirt 40 which is integral with both the tongues 38 and the extension 36 on one of its faces and which is extended on its opposite face by three ribs, respectively 42, 43 and 44.
  • the three ribs 42, 43 and 44 are parallel to each other, but the rib 44 is slightly recessed inwardly with respect to the rib 43 and is connected to the latter above the skirt 40 by an inclined wall 45.
  • the belt 35 is thus flared outwards above the heads 29 and 32, at the height of the pins 33.
  • bottles 46 are introduced vertically between the pyramids formed by the inclined arms. They penetrate into the notches on the faces of these pyramids and come to rest on the crosspieces at the bottom of the body.
  • the distance between the parallel crosspieces, or better that which separates the successive partitions formed by the inclined arms parallel to the same crosspieces, corresponds substantially to the external diameter of a bottle so that, by penetrating into the notches of the faces of two opposite pyramids , the bottle comes into contact with the four arms which delimit these notches. It is guided by these arms during the whole continuation of its introduction.
  • vertical tabs 48 connect the adjacent arms of the same knot above the cross member, for example, a cleat 48 connects the arms 22 and 26 above the cross member 2 while another cleat 48 connects the arm 26 to the adjacent arm, above the cross member 5.
  • a cleat 48 connects the arms 22 and 26 above the cross member 2 while another cleat 48 connects the arm 26 to the adjacent arm, above the cross member 5.
  • Each of the bottles 46 is thus immobilized at its base between two cleats 48 carried by the crosspiece on which it rests.
  • This bottle is also tangent to the inclined arms which limit the notches of the two faces of pyramids into which Ellett enters. These arms are in contact with it approximately halfway up, that is to say at its center of gravity when it is full and therefore it has great stability during handling.
  • the pyramids formed by the inclined arms have a height slightly greater than that of the bottles 46; as a result, the bottles are, during transport, not only maintained but protected by the presence of these pyramids.
  • another identical box can be stacked on it after having pivoted by an angle of 180 ° around a vertical axis, so as to bring the nodes 19 and 20 of the upper case in coincidence with the heads 32 of the lower case.
  • the pins 33 of the heads 32 penetrate into the housings 10 of the nodes 19 and 20 and the boxes are rigorously centered one on the other.
  • the flared shape of the wall 45 facilitates the introduction of the boxes and their centering.
  • each of the nodes of the upper case is fitted onto this stud and rests on the lower case.
  • a stack is thus obtained which, not only is rigorously centered, but also has the great solidity of a triangulated structure.
  • the boxes can be nested one inside the other, being exactly superimposed; the inclined arms of one of the boxes slide along the inclined arms of the directly lower box, while the bottom crosspieces come to rest on the vertical tabs 48.
  • the boxes being oriented exactly in the same direction, the interlocking performs easily.
  • the box shown in FIG. 1 is inscribed in a rectangle, so that the two opposite angles are formed one by a partial pyramid, the other by a knot, but the case of the invention can also be inscribed in a square as shown in Figure 3.
  • This box is made in the same way as that of Figure 1 and has, like it, a perforated bottom formed of crosspieces which intersect at right angles. Knots of these crosspieces leave inclined arms which form pyramids projecting outwards.
  • the distribution of the triangular meshes on the periphery of the body is the same on each of its sides, so that in the opposite angles there are either two nodes 50 or two pyramids 52 provided with pins 53.
  • the inclined arms of the square box are, like those of the rectangular box, constituted by elements in the form of angles so that the faces of the pyramids are indented and the bottles penetrate inside these pyramids.
  • the distance between the bottles is a function of the thickness of the arms in their middle part, that is to say in the part which is in contact with the bottles.
  • the arms are given in their middle part a flattened shape, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • each of the inclined arms 54 and 56 has in its end parts, both in its upper part and in its lower part, a T-shaped section.
  • the cores 57 and 58 of these T are interconnected by a central portion 59 of greater height.
  • Each of the lower T's is fixed on a knot in the openwork bottom of the box.
  • the core 57 is directed along the bisector of the angle formed by two adjacent crosspieces, while the transverse bar 60 of the T is in support above the node itself.
  • the webs 58 are directed along diagonals of the square mesh of the openwork bottom network, while the bars 61 of each of the T's are located outside and integral with the sides of a square head 62 carrying a nipple 63.
  • the production of the box can be further simplified by using inclined arms, flat over their entire length and of rectangular section, as shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8. These arms are then preferably no longer fixed to the nodes of the crosspieces, but at an intermediate point between these nodes, so that the objects or bottles rest on the node itself, between four pairs of adjacent arms.
  • two arms 70, 71 start from the same point on the bottom 72 of the body, between two empty spaces 73 and 74. These arms, which are directed in opposite directions, are joined at their vertices above each.
  • the body has two series of interior partitions, respectively parallel to the large and small sides of the body.
  • the adjacent arms 70 and 71 are joined by a gusset 78 over a certain height, so as to provide the bottle, or the object placed on the bottom 72, with a sufficient bearing surface.
  • a gusset 78 is in fact in contact with four vertical gussets 78, which hold it laterally.
  • the height and the inclination of the arms 70, 71, 76, 77 can be chosen so as to place their vertices 79 at the height of the belt 80 of the body, in the same way as the vertices 29, 32 of the body of Figure 2.
  • the outer arms 81, 82 have a section similar to the inner arms, that is to say a rectangular section. They are joined at their upper part by gussets 83 fixed to the belt 80, and at their lower part by gussets 84 fixed to the bottom 72 of the body.
  • the pyramids formed by the arms 71, 70, 76 and 77 have a height substantially equal to half the total height of the box, and the extreme arms 85 or 86 of the partitions are fixed at mid height, on the inclined arms 81 or 82 of the outer walls, respectively of the large and short sides of the body.
  • a bottom simply pierced with circular openings, such as the openings 73 and 74 represented in FIGS. 6 to 8, the arms 70 and 71, as well as the gussets 78 which connect them, starting from the narrow part of the bottom which separates the spaces or openings 73 and 74, while the vertices 79 of the pyramids are project into these spaces.
  • Such a bottom can also be reinforced by ribs 86, 88 respectively perpendicular to the large and small sides of the body, which protrude from the underside of the bottom 72 and strengthen the solidity of the latter.
  • a second box similar to the first, can also be placed on the top of the upper gussets 83 of the arms and thus be stacked correctly on the first box.
  • the peripheral surface of the bottom 72 pierced with circular openings 73 and 74 is cut according to arcs of a circle 90, or similar contours corresponding to the shape of the objects to be transported.
  • a collar 92 having a height substantially equal to that of the gussets 78, is then preferably fixed on the bottom 72, along the contours 90 of which it follows the shape, which allows it to hold the objects in place.
  • the external partitions of the body which are, like the internal partitions, formed by arms inclined in opposite directions, are interconnected in the corners of the body by an arm 94 whose general direction cuts the corner of the belt and makes an angle of about 45 ° with each of the sides thereof.
  • the arms 94 have inverted inclinations so that the succession of chevrons formed by the arms 81, 82, 94 inclined alternately in one direction and in the other is continuous all around the body and that this succession has an axis of symmetry passing through the geometric center of the body, which makes it possible to superimpose two similar boxes one on the other after a simple pivoting of 180 ° from one of the boxes.
  • the belt 80 of the body can have the same section as the inclined arms forming the external partitions and even the internal partitions, but preferably it has high and low external reinforcement ribs, respecti vement 100 and 102.
  • its upper face 104 is slightly higher than the top of the gussets 83 connecting the arms together.
  • the gain in height of a stack of empty boxes nested one inside the other can reach 70 to 80% of the cumulative height of said boxes.
  • the junction of the arms inclined to each other, in particular the welding of the outer arms 81, 82, to the arms of the inner partitions 85, 86, gives the whole body considerable resistance.
  • interior arms can have a limited height and constitute simple separations between the transported objects, while other interior arms are extended upwards to form pyramids offering a point of support for the solid parts of the bottom. of a stacked box.
  • the outer arms, their gussets and the belt may have protruding or recessed ribs, corresponding to the unevenness of the interior surface of the injection molds.
  • the external inclined arms can also be produced with a variable section over their height, in particular a section reinforced internally in the middle and more resistant to compression, this reinforcement finding place between the bottles or objects transported, without increasing the external bulk of the box.
