Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stackable crate for bottles according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a crate is used, for example, by the beverage industry for the storage and transportation of beverage bottles and in the majority of cases consists of plastic or wood.
  • the boxes currently in use have different external dimensions and constructive designs, depending on the size or content and the number of bottles to be accommodated. This means that crates for different types of drinks or bottle sizes cannot be stacked with one another, which is disadvantageous, particularly with regard to economical storage, both for the beverage producers and for the companies commissioned with the transport of the crates, because for crates of several different types of drinks and / or bottle sizes there is a relatively large storage space requirement.
  • DE-U-1 833 773 describes a plastic bottle crate with a framework located inside.
  • a plastic bottle box is proposed in which the framework, walls or webs or the like. at its upper end in the area of each compartment approximately in the middle of the compartment with a projection towards the inside of the compartment, stop or the like. are provided, which resiliently rests on the circumference of the bottle and clamps it or grips behind the reduced diameter part of the bottle, so that it is secured against unwanted slipping out of the compartment.
  • the truss walls are made relatively thin and consist of elastic plastic, so that the effect of the projection is still is supported by the fact that the relevant wall parts spring into themselves. Since the truss walls are springy, the bottles can be inserted into the individual compartments from above. However, the arrangement of the inward projections is such that inserted bottles are held in a clamped manner, but it is not achieved that the inserted bottle rotates or rotates due to its own weight around the area of the constriction formed by two opposite projections, which acts as a fulcrum. canted when the crate is tilted and pivoted through 90 ° into a position in which the bottles assume a horizontal position.
  • the contact surfaces of the projections are dimensioned relatively large, so that the bottles used are clamped in a relatively large area, so that there is no possibility that the bottles automatically move into a position as a result of gravity, through which also when the crates are transported, the bottles are prevented from falling out of the crate.
  • no extensions are formed in the bottom area of the individual compartments, which enable the bottles to rotate around the area of the constrictions given by the stops as a fulcrum.
  • the arrangement of the projections is provided at a box height, due to which normal bottle types are not adequately held.
  • the plastic bottle crate design is essentially intended for bulbous bottles, the projections protruding into the interior of the compartment grasping the bottles in their conically narrowing area and engaging in this area due to their resilient, elastic configuration, which prevents the bottles from automatically slipping out of the individual compartments becomes.
  • FR-A-1 320 916 is a bottle crate with a number of vertically shaped bodies arranged in the crate interior known for the formation of the individual bottle-containing cavities, each mandrel-like molded body consists of four perpendicular and at right angles to each other narrow rectangular blanks, the four blanks of each mandrel taper conically upwards.
  • the cavities created with these mandrel-like shaped bodies and receiving the bottles have no constrictions that overlap or hold the bottle body.
  • These thorn-like shaped bodies are exclusively separating elements for the formation of individual cavities which receive the bottles.
  • a bottle crate in particular for wine bottles, is described in EP-A-0 367 168.
  • This bottle crate is designed in such a way that at least one stop protruding into a compartment of the compartment is provided at a distance from the bottom of the crate, this distance being greater than the distance the center of gravity of the bottle to be adjusted is from the bottle bottom.
  • the distance between the end of this stop protruding into the compartment and the central axis of the compartment is equal to or greater than the largest radius of the section of a bottle to be adjusted below the stop.
  • a free space is provided which allows the bottle bottom to move sideways.
  • a bottle holder is provided in the individual compartments of the bottle crate in that the stops projecting into the interior of each compartment are arranged at a distance from the bottom of the crate which is greater than the distance from the center of gravity of the bottle to be adjusted from the bottle bottom.
  • the cantilevered end of the stop is at a distance from the central axis of the compartment that is equal to or greater than the largest radius of the section of a bottle to be adjusted below the stop. Because these protrude into the interior of each compartment Stops are not designed to be resilient-elastic in any way, there is no possibility of arranging bottles with different dimensions or shapes in the bottle crate.
  • At least the stops protruding into the interior of the compartment should be arranged above the center of gravity of the bottle to be adjusted. Since the distance between two opposing stops is predetermined, a bottle with a diameter greater than the distance between two stops cannot be used due to this distance requirement. If a bottle to be used has a smaller diameter than the distance between two opposing stops, then it is not possible to secure the bottle in the bottle crate; If the bottle crate is rotated, for example, by 90 °, so that the bottles inserted in the bottle crate are in a horizontal position, it cannot be prevented that the bottles slip out automatically, particularly during transport due to vibration. If the bottle crates are stored beyond their horizontal position, there is a risk of the bottles slipping out of the bottle crate.
  • stops are formed on the bottom of the box, the height of the stops on the bottom of the box being less than the height of the upper stop above the center of gravity above the center of gravity.
  • the bottle crate filled with bottles is moved into a horizontal position, the bottles are still held in their position by means of the bottom stops, ie the bottles can do not twist around the pivot point formed by the upper stops because of their own weight, but this is only possible if the individual bottles are removed from their base-side holders.
  • Such a bottle crate design is complex; the arrangement and assignment of the upper stops acting on the outer wall of the bottle body must be adapted to the bottle types in terms of size and shape, which are to be placed in the bottle crate.
  • the bottle crate has a grid-shaped partition system to form individual compartments, each compartment having projections or stops on two opposite walls, the length of which depends on the type of bottles to be used. Long protrusions protruding into the interior of each compartment are provided in those bottle crates which are provided for holding bottles, which bottle body is provided with a central indentation which transitions into bulbous configurations in the upper bottle region and towards the bottle bottom.
  • each bottle pivots about the bottom projection in such a way that the bulbous bottom section of the bottle is supported on the bottom end of the top projection, ie the bottle is canted between the bottom edge of the top Projection and the top edge of the lower projection and is secured against slipping out by this tilted arrangement.
  • Bottles with an evenly formed bottle body and a neck-like retraction provided towards the bottle opening are held in their compartments of the bottle crate by means of short-sized projections protruding into the interior of the compartment in such a way that when the bottle crate is in a vertical position, the individual bottles close to each other in the area of their bottle shoulder Support the bottom projection, but since the distance between each two projections corresponds to at least the largest diameter of the bottle to be inserted, it is possible for the bottle to automatically slide out of its compartment if, for example, the bottle crate filled with bottles is transported in a vertical position and subjected to vibrations is.
  • the bottle crate is thus designed so that a different arrangement and design of the protrusions protruding into the individual compartments is required for different bottle types.
  • a stackable crate for bottles has a large number of cavities, in each of which a single bottle can be inserted.
  • the cavities are separated from one another by separating elements, for example in the form of walls, webs, bulkheads or thorns, the separating elements serving in a known manner to fix the bottles laterally.
  • each cavity has an elastically expandable constriction on the inside wall. When the bottle is inserted into the cavity, this constriction must be widened, as a result of which, in response to the deformation of the constriction, a holding force is exerted on the bottle, by means of which the bottle is held securely in the cavity.
  • the cavity can also be used for different bottle types, since the narrowing of the constriction adjusts to the size of the bottle used.
  • the bottles are held securely by the elastically expandable constriction according to the invention, and undesirable noise developments due to the rattling of the bottles are additionally avoided.
  • the narrowing forms a transport lock by means of which the bottles are prevented from falling out of the box.
  • the boxes are in a 90 ° tilted condition, in which the loading opening of the box is arranged laterally, can be used or stacked, by arranging the constriction in the area of the neck of the bottle used and by designing the cavity in such a way that it is wider in the area of the bottom than the bottom of the bottle used is achieved that the bottle is automatically inclined due to its own weight, thereby preventing the bottle from falling out.
  • a stacking of the boxes in the state tilted by 90 ° with the loading openings arranged on the side allows the formation of a shelf wall according to the modular principle, whereby sufficient stability and stability can be achieved by means of a mutual latching of the boxes.
  • the elastically expandable narrowing can be achieved in a variety of constructive ways.
  • the separating elements i.e. Walls, webs, bulkheads or thorns to be elastic in themselves, for example by using a material that is easily deformable, e.g. a plastic, are produced
  • the deformability of the separating elements can be achieved by storing them, for example by forming the mandrels as cantilever arms clamped to the bottom of the box, which are easily deformable at their free, non-clamped end.
  • this can also be formed by bulges on the inside, which are formed on the walls, webs, bulkheads or thorns, so that no further or additional components are necessary to form the constriction, which increases the structural complexity of the box is reduced.
  • the spring elements are preferably made of plastic and have the shape of leaf springs, so that the insertion and removal of the bottles is not hindered.
  • the separating elements are designed in the form of thorns, it is advantageous, in order to achieve a holding force which is approximately uniformly distributed over the circumference of the bottle, to distribute the thorns evenly around the cavity, i.e. to be arranged at the same, mutual angular distance.

In the area of their maximum cross-section or an inside bulge 17, the mandrels 16 cooperate to form a narrowing 19 of the cavity 14, the width of which is less than the width of the bottle body.
  • the constriction 19 must be widened. This takes place directly by means of the bottle 12, it being advantageous to reduce the cross-section of the mandrels 16 according to FIG. 1 above the constriction 19 again, so that a conically widening insertion guide is formed which allows the insertion or insertion of the bottle 12 facilitated.
  • the bottle 12 When the bottle 12 is inserted, it pushes the mandrels 16 outward to a small extent, whereby these are rotated about their clamping point on the bottom 18 of the box 10.
