Abstract

The invention relates to a bottle crate having lateral openings. It consists in the fact that at least one lateral opening is of such a size that a bottle (5) standing in the bottle crate can be removed through this opening (12). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Flaschenkasten mit seitlichen Öffnungen, bei dem mindestens eine seitliche Öffnung so groß ist, daß eine im Flaschenkasten stehende Flasche durch diese Öffnung herausnehmbar ist. Der Kunde kann die Flaschen aus einem Kasten auch dann entnehmen, wenn ein anderer, leerer Kasten oder aber ein Kasten mit einem anderen Gerät auf dem Kasten steht, von dem der Kunde die Flasche entnehmen will. Man kann eine Flasche auch bequem aus einem höher angeordneten Kasten herausnehmen, in den man nicht von oben hineingreifen kann.The invention relates to a bottle crate side openings where at least one side opening is so big that a bottle in the bottle crate is removable through this opening. The customer can remove the bottles from a box even if a another, empty box or a box with another Device stands on the box from which the customer gets the bottle wants to take. You can also conveniently take a bottle out take out a higher placed box into which one can't reach in from above.

Damit die Flaschen während des Transportes eines vollen Kastens nicht herausfallen können, können sie auf verschiedene Weise in dem Kasten gehalten werden. Beispielsweise kann die Höhe der Öffnung etwas geringer sein als die Höhe der Flasche. Der untere Rand der Öffnung ist dann etwas oberhalb des Bodens des Flaschenkastens vorgesehen und/oder der obere Rand der Öffnung verläuft etwas unterhalb des oberen Flaschenendes, so daß die Flasche beim Herausnehmen aus dem Kasten zunächst etwas angehoben und dann in Schräglage gebracht werden muß, um in dieser Lage mit dem Boden voraus durch die Öffnung hindurch nach außen entnommen werden zu können. Dabei kann die Entnahmeöffnung auf der Schmalseite des Flaschenkastens und/oder auf der Breitseite des Flaschenkastens vorgesehen sein.So that the bottles during the transport of a full box can not fall out, they can on different Way to be kept in the box. For example, the The height of the opening may be slightly less than the height of the bottle. The lower edge of the opening is then slightly above provided the bottom of the bottle crate and / or the top The edge of the opening runs a little below the top of the bottle, so that the bottle when you take it out of the box first raised a little and then tilted must be in this position with the ground ahead can be removed through the opening to the outside can. The removal opening can be on the narrow side of the bottle crate and / or on the broad side of the bottle crate be provided.

Bei einem durch die WO-A-8702007 bekannten Flaschenkasten mit Gefache ist am unteren Rand der Öffnung ein die lichte Weite der Entnahmeöffnung des benachbarten Faches verengendes Halteteil vorgesehen. Das Halteteil ist durch einen an sich starren Nocken gebildet, der in der oberen Hälfte von ein mittleres Fach begrenzenden Gefachwänden in der Nähe ihres vorderen Randes angeordnet ist. Zwar sollen die Gefachwände etwas nachgiebig sein, die untere Hälfte des vorderen Randes der Gefachwand schließt aber unmittelbar an die Bodenleiste an und nur die obere Hälfte des vorderen Randes ist durch einen Schlitz von der hochstehenden Bodenleiste getrennt, so daß nur diese obere Hälfte des Gefachwandrandes etwas parallel zur Ebene der Öffnung nachgeben kann, wenn die in diesem mittleren Fach stehende Flasche herausgenommen werden soll. Dies ist aber nur dann möglich, wenn aus den beiden benachbarten Fächern die Flaschen bereits herausgenommen sind.In a bottle crate known from WO-A-8702007 with compartments at the bottom of the opening is a light Width of the opening of the neighboring compartment narrowing Holding part provided. The holding part is on by one rigid cams formed in the upper half of a compartment dividing the middle compartment near her front edge is arranged. The partition walls are supposed to be a little compliant, the lower half of the front The edge of the compartment wall immediately adjoins the Skirting board and only the upper half of the front edge is through a slit from the upstanding baseboard separated, so that only this upper half of the edge of the partition wall can yield somewhat parallel to the plane of the opening if removed the bottle in this middle compartment shall be. However, this is only possible if from the the bottles have already been removed from the two neighboring compartments are.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Flaschenkasten mit einem Halteteil zu entwickeln, das erlaubt, eine Flasche aus einem gegebenenfalls mittleren Fach auch dann durch eine seitliche Öffnung zu entnehmen, wenn in benachbarten Fächern noch Flaschen stehen.The invention has for its object a bottle crate to develop with a holding part that allows one Bottle from a middle compartment if necessary through a side opening when in neighboring Fans still have bottles.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß ein die lichte Weite der seitlichen Öffnung des Flaschenkastens verengendes Halteteil an mindestens einer Ecksäule des Flaschenkastens angespritzt und elastisch federnd ausgebildet ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that a the clear width of the side opening of the bottle crate constricting holding part on at least one corner pillar of the Bottle crate molded and elastic resilient is.

Da die zum Herausnehmen der Flasche aus dem Fach erforderliche Elastizität durch das Halteteil selbst, nicht aber durch die Gefachwand aufgebracht wird, können die Gefachwände steif ausgebildet und in voller Höhe der Bodenleiste mit dieser verbunden sein, denn sie müssen zum Herausnehmen einer Flasche aus dem mittleren Fach nicht in die benachbarten Fächer hineinschwenken, um den vorderen Teil des mittleren Faches so zu erweitern, daß dort die Flasche herausgenommen werden kann.Because the one required to remove the bottle from the compartment Elasticity through the holding part itself, but not through the partition wall is applied, the partition walls can stiff and in full height with the skirting board This must be connected because you have to remove one Bottle from the middle compartment not into the neighboring one Swing in compartments to the front of the middle Expand the compartment so that the bottle is removed from there can be.

Das Anspritzen des Halteteiles an eine Ecksäule erlaubt eine besonders einfache Fertigung des Flaschenkastens, es muß dann lediglich in der Spritzform eine Aussparung für eine derartige Haltelippe vorgesehen sein.The injection molding of the holding part on a corner column allows one particularly simple manufacture of the bottle crate, it must then only a recess for one in the injection mold such a holding lip may be provided.

Ein solches Halteteil kann zusätzlich zu den vorgenannten Haltemitteln oder aber für sich allein bei Ausführungsformen der Erfindung vorgesehen sein.Such a holding part can be in addition to the aforementioned Holding means or alone in embodiments of the invention.

Das elastische Halteteil kann beispielsweise eine Feder sein, die die Flasche in dem Flaschenkasten hält und deren Rückstellkraft überwunden werden muß, wenn die Flasche aus der Öffnung herausgenommen wird. Hierzu eignen sich beispielsweise Blattfedern, die aus federndem Kunststoff bestehen. Dabei kann das Halteteil auch aus einer entlang der Ecksäule verlaufenden, elastisch federnden Leiste bestehen, die rechtwinklig zu dem unteren und/oder rechtwinklig zu dem oberen Rand entlang zu einem oder beiden seitlichen Rändern der Öffnung verläuft. Wenn die Leiste nicht selbst elastisch oder federnd ausgebildet ist, so kann eine an sich starre Leiste über eine Feder am Rand der Öffnung angespritzt sein.The elastic holding part can for example be a spring be who holds the bottle in the bottle crate and their Restoring force must be overcome when the bottle is out the opening is removed. For example, are suitable for this Leaf springs made of resilient plastic. The holding part can also consist of a along the Corner pillar extending, resilient strip, which are perpendicular to the lower and / or perpendicular to the along the top edge to one or both side edges the opening runs. If the last is not elastic itself or is resilient, so can be rigid in itself Molded on a spring at the edge of the opening.

Bei Ausführungsformen der Erfindung erstreckt sich das Halteteil entlang des Randes mindestens über die halbe Länge eines Randes der Öffnung.In embodiments of the invention, this extends Holding part along the edge at least half the length an edge of the opening.

Wenn das Halteteil aus Kunststoff besteht, so kann es zweckmäßigerweise einstückig mit dem Rand der Öffnung des Flaschenkastens aus Kunststoff sein.If the holding part is made of plastic, it can expediently in one piece with the edge of the opening of the Bottle crate made of plastic.

Der Kasten kann zur Aufnahme von Flaschen beliebiger Form vorgesehen sein, bei einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Innenmaße des Flaschenkastens zur Aufnahme von im Querschnitt viereckigen Flaschen gewählt, insbesondere zur Aufnahme von zwei Reihen Flaschen mit rechteckigem Querschnitt, beispielsweise mit einem Querschnitt, wie er bei dem Tetra-Pak(eingetragenes Warenzeichen)-System für Milchflaschen vorgesehen ist.The box can hold bottles of any shape be provided in one embodiment of the invention are the internal dimensions of the bottle crate to hold im Cross-section of square bottles chosen, especially for Inclusion of two rows of bottles with a rectangular cross-section, for example with a cross section, as in the Tetra-Pak (registered trademark) system for milk bottles is provided.

Das Halteteil kann jede für seinen Zweck geeignete Form aufweisen, es kann beispielsweise eine sich von der Basis am Rand der Öffnung nach innen in die Öffnung verjüngenden Querschnitt oder Zungenform aufweisen. Wesentlich ist lediglich, daß der Widerstand des Halteteils beim Herausnehmen der Flasche überwunden wird. Dies ist aber, wie erwähnt, bei der Verwendung von bekannten starren Halteteilen, die die lichte Weite der Öffnung nur so wenig verengen, daß die Flasche angehoben und dann in der Schräglage herausgenommen werden kann, nicht erforderlich. The holding part can have any shape suitable for its purpose, for example, it can be from the base Edge of the opening tapering inward into the opening Cross-section or tongue shape. The only essential thing is that the resistance of the holding part when removing the bottle is overcome. However, as mentioned, this is the case with the use of known rigid holding parts that the the inside diameter of the opening is so narrow that the bottle raised and then taken out at an angle may not be required.

Der Kasten ist so dimensioniert, daß zwei Reihen zu je vier Milchflaschen 5 in ihn eingestellt werden können, die einen quadratischen Querschnitt mit abgerundeten Ecken aufweisen. Die nach innen ragenden Säulen 2 sind an denjenigen Stellen der Breitseitenwand des Kastens angeordnet, an denen zwei Flaschen 5' und 5'' aneinander angrenzen. An den Ecksäulen 1 befindet sich eine sich über ihre ganze Höhe erstreckende Leiste 6, die einen gebogenen Querschnitt aufweist und am Umfang der Flasche 5 angreift. Die Leisten 6 und die Säulen 2 halten daher die Flaschen in einem Abstand von der Innenfläche des Kastens so, daß sie dicht aneinander stehend gehalten sind. Auf der Breitseite des Kastens befindet sich zwischen den Ecksäulen 1 und den Säulen 2 je eine verhältnismäßig enge Aussparung 7, deren Breite kleiner ist als die Breite einer Flasche 5. Zwischen den Säulen 2 befindet sich auf der Breitseite des Kastens eine Öffnung 8, die breiter ist als die Breite einer Flasche 5. Die Höhe der Aussparungen 7 und 8 ist kleiner als die Höhe einer Flasche 5 und zwar unten um die Höhe einer Fußleiste 9. Eine Kopfleiste 10 auf der Breitseite des Kastens reicht über das obere Ende einer Flasche 5 etwas nach unten. Auf der Innenseite der Kopfleiste 10 sind Lamellen 11 vorgesehen, die die Griffläche für die Hand bequemer gestalten sollen.In the embodiment shown in the drawing Invention has a bottle crate four corner pillars 1 and between the corner pillars on the broad side two each inside protruding columns 2 which have an inclined surface 3 at the upper end have and slightly below the upper edge 4 of the bottle crate end up. The box is dimensioned so that two rows of four milk bottles 5 set in it can be a square cross section with rounded Have corners. The columns protruding inwards 2 are in those places of the broad side wall of the box arranged, on which two bottles 5 'and 5' 'adjoin each other. At the corner pillars 1 there is one above theirs full height extending bar 6, which is a curved Has cross-section and attacks on the circumference of the bottle 5. The strips 6 and the columns 2 therefore keep the bottles in a distance from the inside surface of the box so that it are kept close together. On the broadside the box is between the corner pillars 1 and Columns 2 each have a relatively narrow recess 7, the Width is smaller than the width of a bottle 5. Between the columns 2 are on the broad side of the box an opening 8 that is wider than the width of a bottle 5. The height of the recesses 7 and 8 is smaller than the height a bottle 5 below the height of a baseboard 9. A header 10 on the broad side of the box extends a little down over the top of a bottle 5. Slats 11 are provided on the inside of the header 10, that make the grip surface more comfortable for the hand should.

An der Schmalseite des Kastens befindet sich eine Entnahmeöffnung 12, deren unterer Rand wiederum um die Höhe einer Fußleiste 13 oberhalb eines Bodens 23 verläuft, auf dem die Flaschen 5 stehen. Eine obere Randleiste 14 ist im Bereich der Öffnung 12 verhältnismäßig schmal, sie reicht nach unten nicht bis zum oberen Ende der Flaschen 5, sondern endet in einem Abstand 15 von dem oberen Flaschenende 22.There is a removal opening on the narrow side of the box 12, whose lower edge in turn by the height of a Skirting board 13 runs above a floor 23 on which the Bottles 5 stand. An upper edge bar 14 is in the area the opening 12 is relatively narrow, it extends downwards not to the top of bottles 5, but ends in a distance 15 from the upper end of the bottle 22.

Der vordere Rand der Leisten 6 befindet sich hinter der Ebene der Innenfläche des Randes der Öffnung 12, z.B. in einem Abstand von 15-20 mm, verringert aber deren lichte Breite nicht. Zu beiden Seiten der Öffnung 12 befindet sich an den senkrechten Leisten 6 jeweils eine an die Leiste 6 angespritzte Haltelippe 16, die elastisch federnd sich um die äußere Ecke des Flaschenquerschnittes legt und so zusammen mit der Fußleiste 13 die Flasche 5 festhält, sodaß sie nicht durch die Öffnung 12 unbeabsichtigt herausfallen kann. An dem der Fußleiste 13 benachbarten Ende des Bodens 23 befindet sich eine Mulde 17, in die beim am oberen Flaschenende erfolgenden Herausschwenken einer Flasche 5 durch die Öffnung 12 ein der Mulde 17 benachbarter Abschnitt 18 des Flaschenbodens eintritt. Hierzu ist der Boden 19 der Flasche 5 nach oben gewölbt. Die Maße und auch die Wölbung des Bodens 19 sind so gewählt, daß in dieser Schräglage die obere, hintere Kante 20 am oberen Flaschenende unterhalb der oberen Randleiste 14 sich befindet, sodaß die Flasche 5 unter der Randleiste 14 hindurchgeschwenkt und durch die Öffnung 12 herausgenommen werden kann. Dabei federn die Haltelippen 16 elastisch. Diese Haltlippen 16 haben eine Höhe, die etwa der halben Flaschenhöhe entspricht und in einer mittleren Höhe an den Leisten 6 angeordnet sind. Die Haltelippen 16 sind an beiden seitlichen Rändern 21 der Öffnung 12 angeordnet. Die Säulen 1, 2 sowie die Fußleiste 13 und die obere Leiste 14 sind als Hohlprofile ausgebildet. Eine Öffnung 12 befindet sich an beiden Schmalseiten des Flaschenkastens.The front edge of the strips 6 is behind the plane the inner surface of the edge of the opening 12, e.g. in one Distance of 15-20 mm, but reduces their clear width Not. On both sides of the opening 12 is located on the vertical strips 6 each molded onto the strip 6 Retaining lip 16 which resiliently around the outer corner of the bottle cross section and so put together with the skirting board 13 holds the bottle 5 so that it does not can accidentally fall out through the opening 12. On the end of the base 23 adjacent to the baseboard 13 a trough 17, in the at the top of the bottle a bottle 5 swiveling out through the opening 12 a section 18 of the bottle bottom adjacent to the trough 17 entry. For this purpose, the bottom 19 of the bottle 5 arched upwards. The dimensions and the curvature of the floor 19 are chosen so that in this inclined position the upper, rear Edge 20 at the top of the bottle below the top Edge 14 is located so that the bottle 5 under the Edge bar 14 pivoted through and through opening 12 can be removed. The retaining lips 16 spring elastic. These retaining lips 16 have a height that is approximately the corresponds to half the bottle height and in a medium height are arranged on the strips 6. The holding lips 16 are on arranged two lateral edges 21 of the opening 12. The Columns 1, 2 and the skirting board 13 and the upper bar 14 are designed as hollow profiles. An opening 12 is located on both narrow sides of the bottle crate.

Die Haltelippen 16 sind einstückig mit den Leisten 6 und den Ecksäulen 1, sie sind in einem Arbeitsgang in einer Spritzform gespritzt und bestehen aus einem geeigneten Niederdruckpolyäthylen.The holding lips 16 are in one piece with the strips 6 and Corner pillars 1, they are in one step in an injection mold injected and consist of a suitable low-pressure polyethylene.

Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weisen die Flaschen, z. B. Milchflaschen, für die der Flaschenkasten bestimmt ist, einen rechteckigen Querschnitt von ca. 70 mm Seitenlänge auf. Die von den Flaschen 5 ausnutzbare Innenfläche des Flaschenkastens hat daher eine Breite von etwa 140 mm. Dabei ragen die Säulen 2 und die an den Ecksäulen befestigten Leisten 6 etwa 30 mm weit in den Innenraum des Kastens hinein. Die lichte Weite in Längsrichtung des Kastens beträgt 280 mm, die Breite (Dicke) der Fußleiste 13 unter der Öffnung 12 etwa 10 mm und deren Höhe etwa 40 mm. Die Fußleiste 9 ist etwa gleich hoch. Die Höhe der Aussparung 12 beträgt etwa 240 mm, ihre Breite von dem vorderen Rand der Leiste 6 zu dem vorderen Rand der gegenüberliegenden Leiste 6 gemessen ca. 140 mm. Der Abstand zwischen den vorderen Enden der einander gegenüberliegenden Haltelippen 16 beträgt dagegen etwa 130 mm. Die sich aus dieser Verengung ergebende Federkraft der Haltelippen 16 muß daher beim Herausnehmen der ersten Flasche überwunden werden. Die Höhe der für diesen Flaschenkasten bestimmten Flasche beträgt ca. 280 mm, der Zwischenraum 15 zwischen dem oberen Ende 22 einer eingestellten Flasche 5 und dem unteren Ende der Kopfleiste 14 beträgt ca. 10 mm. Diese Maße ermöglichen, eine Flasche 5 nach Überwindung der an ihr angreifenden Haltelippe 16 bequem aus dem vollen Flaschenkorb zu entnehmen. Ist eine Flasche entnommen, so hat die Haltelippe 16 beim Entnehmen der anderen Flaschen keine Haltefunktion mehr.Point in the illustrated embodiment of the invention the bottles, e.g. B. milk bottles for which the bottle crate is determined, a rectangular cross section of about 70 mm side length.
