Definitions

  • the present invention relates to means for producing a pack of empty or full bottles.
  • Pallet storage has the disadvantage of being unstable. It is therefore necessary to immobilize the bottles of each layer with respect to each other by using wedges, straps or else plastic covers.
  • Containers with non-retractable walls occupy a large volume whether empty or full.
  • a method of storing bottles in a horizontal position is also known.
  • the bottles are placed in containers such as bins, racks, pallet boxes or the like, without using dividers.
  • the present invention aims to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • each spacer is constituted by an element having, on the one hand, a plurality of bosses able to cooperate with the bottom of the bottles forming a layer so as to immobilize them relative to each other and, on the other hand, a plurality of centering orifices each of which is capable of receiving the neck of a bottle of the adjacent layer.
  • connecting means securing the spacers to each other to allow manipulation of the pack in all directions, or even 360 ° rotations on itself.
  • the connecting means can be constituted by strapping or by any other known and appropriate means.
  • This pack of bottles may possibly rest on support means such as a pallet.
  • the spacers according to the invention make it possible to carry out palletizing automatically and to increase the storage capacity, due to the particular arrangement of the bottles which they define in the pack.
  • each insert has a generally rectangular shape
  • the bosses are arranged in a regular grid and define four to four a square whose center is common with that of a centering orifice.
  • centering orifices have a variable height and are preferably of frustoconical shape so as to closely match the conical necks of the bottles.
  • the upper interlayer covering the upper layer of bottles has a thickness and, on its inner face, bosses of such height that they allow the pack to be turned over 180 ° on support means, the neck of each of the bottles in the pack being turned downwards.
  • the centering orifices are formed in the interlayer constituted by a panel and have a height substantially equal to the thickness of the latter, while the bosses are projecting relative to one of the faces of said panel.
  • each spacer is constituted by a plate and each centering orifice is formed by a frustoconical rib whose part of larger diameter is connected to zones of the plate each of which is intended to support the bottom of a bottle, and of height greater than that of the plate in its support zones, each boss being constituted by the external face of the part of the rib projecting with respect to the rest of the plate.
  • the spacers are advantageously made by molding a plastic material.
  • the bottles can be easily unconditioned and placed in any desirable position.
  • corked bottles are, first of all, arranged vertically to dissipate the internal pressure, then placed horizontally to check the quality of the corking and finally, sent into the distribution circuit.
  • the bottles arranged in staggered rows do not touch; they are therefore all at substantially the same temperature due to the air circulation which can be established between them. This makes it possible to better control the autolysis of the wines thus stored, to control the rise in fermentation and to avoid breakage due to bottle explosions, as well as running-in of the bottles during handling in order to make them less brittle.
  • a pack produced with the means of the invention can be set up directly in the sales department, in stores.
  • the spacers according to the invention adapt to most of the existing bottle configurations.
  • Figures 1 to 6 show the means according to the invention for producing a pack 1 of bottles 2 empty or full in which, as shown in Figure 6, these are arranged vertically and are superimposed on each other in different layers 3 .
  • These layers 3 are separated from each other by intermediate elements 4 , one of which 5 , upper, covers the upper layer 3 of the pack 1 and the other, lower, is arranged between the lower layer 3 and a pallet 6 on which it is based on the example of use in FIG. 6.
  • Connection means 7 in this case formed strapping by metal or plastic strips surrounding the pack 1 so as to give it cohesion in all directions, including the vertical direction of the bottles 2 .
  • each intermediate element 4,5 is designed as a rectangular plate produced, preferably, by molding from a suitable plastic material.
  • This rectangular plate 4,5 includes a plurality of bosses 8 and centering orifices 9 .
  • the bosses 8 formed by studs projecting from one of the faces of the plate 4,5 are distributed in a regular grid and define four to four a square whose center is common with that of a centering orifice 9 .
  • each centering orifice 9 has a frustoconical shape with a height substantially equal to the thickness of the plate 4.5 and intended to closely match the conical shape of the neck of a bottle 2 .
  • the face of the plate 4,5 not including the bosses 8 has grooves 10 intended to receive the straps of the straps 7 .
  • Figures 4 and 5 show that at each layer 3 , the bottles 2 are arranged in staggered rows, the bottom of each of them being immobilized by four bosses 8 while each centering orifice 9 remained free receives the neck a bottle 2 belonging to the adjacent lower layer 3 .
  • the bottles are thus held in position in a stable manner, on the one hand, by their necks engaged in their respective centering orifices 9 of a plate 4.5 and, on the other hand, by their bottoms, each of which is immobilized between four bosses 8 of another plate 4.5 .
  • pack 1 can be done manually or automatically using straight bottle packers.
  • the means according to the invention make it possible to obtain a pack 1 of bottles benefiting from good cohesion and a robust structure.
  • each intermediate element 5 The thickness and the material used to manufacture each intermediate element 5 depend, of course, on the use of the pack 1 .
  • the upper intermediate element 5a covering the upper layer 3 of bottles 2 can be designed with a thickness and bosses 8a formed on its inner face of height such that they allow the pack 1 to be turned over 180 ° on the pallet 6 , the neck of each of the bottles 2 of said pack 1 being turned downwards, as can be seen in FIG. 9.
  • This plate thickness 5a and this height of bosses 8a greater ensure the stability of the pack 1 thus arranged. Such a position can be particularly useful in the field of wine packaging.
  • FIG. 11 shows a second embodiment of the intermediate element belonging to the means of the invention.
  • the latter consists of a plate 11 made of a plastic material by molding.
  • Each centering orifice 9 is formed by a rib 12 of frustoconical shape, the part of larger diameter is connected to zones 13 of the plate 11 each of which is intended to support the bottom of a bottle 2 .
  • This rib 12 has a height greater than the average height of the plate 11 in its zones 13 .
  • Each boss 8 is formed by the external face of the part of the rib 12 projecting relative to the rest of the plate 11 .
  • the intermediate elements 4,5,5a, 11 can be made of plastic material by molding, but also of wood particles, pulp, cardboard or the like, by various molding techniques such as forming, injection, compression or thermoforming.
