Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stackable highboard bottle crate according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the first group concerns the high side boxes with stackability in columns. This means that in a bottle crate stack a higher bottle crate is supported on exactly one bottle crate underneath. The entire stack of bottle crates can therefore be subdivided into two-dimensional rows of independent vertical bottle crate columns.
  • the main distinguishing feature of the other two groups from the first-mentioned group is that the bottle crates, which are stacked in different layers one above the other, are arranged offset from one another.
  • Such high side boxes then again fall into two groups, namely the second and third group mentioned, according to the criterion whether the vertical lines of force through the corners of the bottle boxes of a layer next to (second group) or through (third group) handle openings of staggered high side boxes a layer above or below it.
  • the third group is particularly characterized by displaceability in the ratio 3: 2
  • the second group relates to the other displacement ratios, in particular the frequent displacement ratio 3: 4.
  • the low side boxes form the fourth group in the following considerations.
  • bottle crates In the case of bottle crates, one can draw even further conclusions regarding the design of the crate bottom in the context of the task on which the invention is based.
  • the vertical spacing of the layers of bottles accommodated in stacked high-board boxes can be reduced by designing the box floor according to claim 1. Feature a) of claim 1 is transferred from low side boxes.
  • the term "bottle head" should include a bottle cap on the bottle.
  • Feature b) is considered to be new at all in bottle crates, since the retraction of the ring only serves as a path limitation (stop) for bottle heads or bottle caps, which are usually still a little further away, whereas in low side crates, a retraction has so far served as a load-bearing intermediate store between the bottle bottoms upper layer and the bottle head of the lower layer had to serve.
  • Claim 1 represents a solution to the problem of the invention for high side boxes, but comes into its own in connection with the other solution ideas described above.
  • a reduction in the vertical spacing of the bottle layers in the stack of bottle crates means at the same time a lower overall height of the individual bottle crate. Furthermore, the static requirements for the load bearing capacity in the stack can be reduced accordingly.
  • Claim 2 counteracts a jamming or blocking when stacking filled bottle crates in bottle crates with compartment division (or corresponding other predetermined approximate bottle arrangement in the crate).
  • the saving in height of a high side box can be of the order of magnitude, the height of a crown cap, or even more, ie. H. construction height savings of up to several percent in height of the individual bottle crate, even with high side boxes, since the bottle heads can be arranged much closer than before to the crate bottom of the next higher layer.
  • claim 4 creates as a third function the possibility of collecting liquid in or on the ring, for. B. rainwater to drain, preferably so that the upper region of the bottle head, for. B. a cork or a whole bottle cap is not hit by the dripping liquid. This applies in particular in cooperation with claim 2, but generally also when the drip edge is sufficiently far radially from the bottle axis or the vertical axis of the respective ring.
  • Claim 1 includes the possibility of forming a closed retraction of the ring in its upper region and of allowing liquid to drip off, if necessary, via the outside of the ring.
  • the drawn-in area of the ring is partially open, so that liquid also on the inside of the Rings down and optionally drained according to claim 4.
  • Claims 6 and 7 relate to two alternative designs of the box bottom, which combine the function of claim 5 with a good static structure of the box bottom formed according to claim 1. It is even possible to use the retraction of the ring according to claim 1, in particular also in the embodiment according to claim 7, in a stack for individual fixing of the bottle heads and thus for reducing the tendency to rattle, for example on transport vehicles, in particular, if some deformable plastic is used to form the rings.
  • the bottle crates according to the invention not only show the technical advantages discussed, such as saving weight and optimizing space requirements. They are also more consumer-friendly, for example due to their handle design, show better washability due to their surface design, for example in automatic car washes, and are also more appealing due to their smooth outer appearance. The latter also offers advantages for lettering and advertising effectiveness. For the first time, there is even the possibility to use the space above the lower edge as advertising space, if this is desired.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 correspond to the subdivision of the bottle crates according to groups 1 to 4.
  • FIG. 5 shows special features with regard to the design of the stacking ribs and stacking grooves, which is also useful in all groups, and
  • FIG. 6 shows special features, particularly in the case of high-sided boxes, but possibly also with certain low side boxes, be preferred training of the box bottom.
  • the Roman numerals also denote the group numbers.
  • All bottle crates have a crate bottom 2 with a compartment division 4 of conventional type located above it, which is arranged at a lower height within the four crate walls 6.
  • the height difference in the low side box according to FIG. 4 is relatively insignificant, but it is clear in the high side boxes.
  • the box corners, on which two box walls adjoin each other, are also double-walled with an outer wall 8 and an inner wall 10.
  • the inner wall 10 is degenerated into two wall stubs 10a starting from the outer wall, so that it is a "lazy" double corner in the manner of a single corner with the wall 8 facing outwards.
  • Each bottle crate shown has two long and two short sides and generally describes a corresponding box that is open at the top.
  • the box walls 6 have, outside of the column-like box corners 12, side walls 14, which offer advertising surfaces 16 on their flat outside.
  • the advertising surfaces 16 presenting outer surfaces of the side walls 14 are set back somewhat from the outer walls 8 of the box corners and thus approximately flush overhangs 18 of the box bottoms and any further outer webs.
  • Elongated handle openings 20 are also formed at least on the end faces of all bottle crates. Corresponding handle openings are in the embodiments of FIG. 1 and 3 are also provided on the long sides of the bottle crates, while in the embodiments of FIGS. 2 and 4 they are closed.
  • the transitions of the outer sides of the side walls 14 forming the advertising surfaces 16 into the box corners 12 and the projections 18 are not, as in known cases, approximately rectangular, but are rounded off to a large extent in such a way that dirt corners are avoided as far as possible.
  • the grip edge or handle 22 runs horizontally in the horizontal direction with the bottle crate standing normally. In all embodiments, it has a profile in which an upright flange 24 is vertically aligned with the respective side wall 14.
  • the grip edge 22 has an L-shaped profile, the transverse flange 26 of which, as the upper limit of the grip opening 20, points inwards and forms the grip surface on its underside, under which the hand holds the bottle crate lifting person.
  • FIGS. 3a to 3d instead show high-sided boxes in which the grip edge 22 is designed as an E or EE profile (FIGS. 3c and 3b) in a conventional manner known per se.
  • the grip edge 22 is designed as an E or EE profile (FIGS. 3c and 3b) in a conventional manner known per se.
  • the profile shape shown it is also possible to provide variants in which the outside of the grip edge is provided less except with a stronger profile on the inside.
  • the respective handle opening 20 is delimited at the top like a back by the strongly profiled handle edge 22 and laterally by vertical support webs 28. Support webs 28 of this type can also be provided laterally from the handle openings 20 in all other embodiments, without this being absolutely necessary, since no force is transmitted in the respective stacked state tion in the vertical direction across a handle opening.
  • the respective grip edges 22 are also emaciated to an L-like profile.
  • a bead 30 can be provided at the upper end thereof, while forming the upper edge of the box. This replaces the top cross flange of the E or EE profiles of FIGS. 3c and 3b in a somewhat stunted manner.
  • the inner sides of the grip edges are further inward and therefore form an undercut with respect to the side walls 14, which are offset from them in relation to the outside and thus create the possibility of obtaining a maximally unclear external wall shape of all bottle crates while at the same time gaining space in the crate interior.
  • the side walls 14 adjoin the box corners 12 approximately at a medium thickness of the box corner space described on the one hand by the outer walls 8 and on the other hand by the inner walls 10 or wall stubs 10a.
  • the high side boxes of FIGS. 1 to 3 are further provided on the underside of the respective box bottom with a stacking rib 32 projecting downward, which in the region in the case of offset stacking according to FIGS. 2a and 3a is interrupted by support lines of staggered bottle crates and engages in the upper open cross section in the region of the upper bottle crate edge in order to adjust the bottle crates lying one above the other relative to one another in the stack.
  • Individual bottle crates are placed on the floor via this stacking rib 32. In the stack itself, however, it has no supporting function.
  • the condition of column stacking is no longer fulfilled that box corners of bottle crates arranged in different layers one above the other are also arranged one above the other. Rather, the box walls must now also have a supporting function.
  • the load-bearing function of the box walls is to be functionally decoupled to a maximum in the case of a high side box from the function of the respective box bottom which is not load-bearing in the stack but merely the bottle-bearing function. It is shown in FIGS.
  • box bottom 2 is raised with its lowermost surfaces 38 relative to the edge 40 carrying the bottle crate above it (stacking up with respect to the normal, reverse to the representation of FIGS. 2b and 3d Orientation with open upper bottle crate cross section and bottle crate bottom).
  • the lowermost surface 38 extends all the way up to the box corners 12, without this having to be strictly the case because of the force introduction that is only punctiform in the offset grid.
  • an upper group 46 with a horizontal orientation for example, one can see an upper group 46 with a horizontal orientation, a middle group 48 with a vertical orientation and a lower group 50 again with a horizontal orientation. Without changing the mode of operation, the orientations can also be selected in opposite directions. There are also embodiments in which the middle group 48 is omitted and the upper group and the lower group are each formed more clearly, but then with different orientations, in order to achieve a smooth outer surface in the central region for bandaging palletized bottle crates.
  • the stacking ribs 40 continue to protrude from the outer surface 40, but do not form , as before, the stacking grooves between them, but these are separated and without any offset relative to the stacking ribs in the associated outer surface 44, and expediently with a depth not greater than 0.5 mm.
  • groups 46, 48 and 50 are expediently each subdivided into at least two subgroups with indices a and b. It is possible for the character as stacking ribs 40 or stacking grooves 42 to be the same or different in sub-groups lying next to one another. It is therefore also possible to provide the same configuration in the different groups 46, 48 and 50 and to change the stacking ribs and stacking grooves in each case between subgroups of the same group. Nevertheless, a change is recommended here, too, so that not all tongue and groove elements consisting of stacking ribs 40 and stacking grooves 42 in the respective subgroups need to have the same index a or b.
  • the stacking ribs and stacking grooves are expediently relatively blunt with well-rounded flanks.
  • the wall cutout formed by the handle openings is expediently designed ergonomically at the corners.
  • the underside 52 of the respective grip openings 20 formed on the corresponding transverse flange 26 of the grip edge 22 is not expediently horizontal, but rather somewhat curved in the vertical direction so that a ergonomic adaptation to the curvature of the hand of a grasping person is achieved as optimally as possible.
  • This curvature can be provided not only in a horizontal direction along the box wall 6 in question, but optionally also in the depth direction of the handle opening.
  • the compartment division 4 of the high side box according to FIG. 1j can also be seen in FIG. 1f. It divides the inside of the box below the handle openings 20 into essentially square compartments 54. The form of training of the division is on known and recognizable in Fig. 1j in their geometric shape.
  • a bottle 56 (see FIG. 6a) can be inserted into each compartment. This rests on the box bottom 2, which according to FIG. 1f in connection with FIG. 6a (or alternatively FIGS. 6b, c, d, e, f) is designed as a so-called ring bottom.
  • a ring base forms a ring 55 in the center of the base of the respective compartment 54, into which the bottle head, in the case of FIG. 6 a a crown cap 58, of a bottle can be immersed, which is located in the stack of boxes in a box bottom 2 under consideration located position of bottle crates, here high side boxes, in a compartment 54.
  • the upper region 60 of the respective ring 55 is formed so that the upper region 60 of the ring 55 is only a stop for the bottle head of the bottle 56, in the case of FIG. 6a for the bottle 56 Bottle cap 58, forms.
  • the bottle head or crown cap 58 is still arranged at a certain distance 57 under the box bottom 2.
  • the crown cap 58 or other bottle head is slightly higher than the rest, for. B. due to tolerance fluctuations or due to not full support at the bottom of their subject, for. B. because of a distance-forming insert (stone, waste, sand or the like.) Can intervene without interference in the ring 55.
  • the bottle head or crown cap 58 cannot strike the bottom of the bottle 56 (upper in FIG. 6a), which stands on the crate bottom 2 of the specially considered high-sided crate, but is instead of gently restrained the retracted upper portion 60 as a stop when the bottle jumps up under the transporter vibrations.
  • the depth of immersion of the bottle head into the ring 55 from below can, for example, according to FIG. 6 a, correspond exactly, or at least essentially, to the height of the crown cap 58.
  • the immersion depth is preferably greater than the height of the drawn-in area 60.
  • the drawn-in area 60 can be designed to be completely closed according to FIGS. 6e and 6f.
  • a design according to FIG. 6f inclined outwards from the center is also possible in order to guide liquid to the outer edge of the ring 55 and from there to the drain bar 64.
  • a suitable contact surface 66 of a horizontal or otherwise curved type for the bottle arranged in the respective compartment 54 can be formed by a guide groove arrangement 68 on the top of the ring 55.
  • the drawn-in area can also be designed to be water-permeable, as shown in FIG. 1f and FIGS. 6a to 6d, so that liquid can flow along the inner wall of the ring 55 to the drip strip 64.
  • the breakthrough 6d can be formed by individual openings 70; however, a single central opening 72 is preferred according to FIGS. 1f and 6a to 6c.
  • the drawn-in region 60 of the ring 55 can be obtained according to FIG. 6c in that the free ring cross section 74 is frustoconical.
  • the ring wall 76 of the ring 55 can, as shown, be formed by a transverse bar, even of constant thickness.
  • the ring wall 76 of the ring 55 can be designed as a step profile 78 (FIGS. 1f and 6a, 6b and 6d to 6f).
  • the step profile 78 of the ring wall has a T-shape in the case of FIGS. 1f and 6a and 6d to 6f and is stunted in a ⁇ shape in the case of FIG. 6b, the lower web of the step profile simultaneously forming the drip strip 64 . In the case of the embodiment according to FIG. 6c, this is formed by the entire inclined strip 64 forming the ring wall 76.
  • the drip tray can generally be stunted into a drip edge, for example the inner edge 80 or alternatively the outer edge 82 of a wide ring wall 76, depending on whether the liquid is directed to the drip edge via the inner surface or the outer surface of the ring wall 76.
  • FIG. 6a shows that the bottle 56 expediently has a larger contact area than the transverse dimension of the respective ring 55.
  • the rings 55 are therefore included in a latticework 84 (FIG. 1f), which together with the rings forms the box bottom 2.
  • the struts 86 of the latticework 84, which carry the rings 55, can have the same profile as the ring wall of the rings, for. B. in the case of Fig. 1f the T-profile of Fig. 6a. However, this is not absolutely necessary.
  • the struts 86 according to FIG. 1f expediently run parallel to the box walls 6 or to the compartment division 4 below them each half division and open as a fork-shaped branches 88 in the box walls 6.
