Abstract

A bottle case has pegs (2) hollow on the underside projecting upwards from its base (1) arranged at the corners at which four square compartments (3) meet. At each side wall section (7) facing one of the adjacent compartments (3) the hollow pegs (2) have a bracket (10) secured to the hollow peg (2) at its upper and lower end which is separated from the adjacent regions of the side wall section (7) by slots (11) and projects slightly into the compartment (3). It is reinforced on the inside by two longitudinal ribs (15). It forms a clamping component which, by deforming slightly, develops a relatively high effective pressure between its approximately vertical lower section (13) and a bottle (16) inserted into the compartment (3) and thus reliably retains even empty pet bottles.

Description

Flaschenkasten Bottle crate
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Flaschenkasten gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Derartige Flachenkästen werden zum Transport und zur Aufbewahrung vor allem von Getränkeflaschen benutzt.The invention relates to a bottle crate according to the preamble of claim 1. Such flat crates are used for the transport and storage, especially of beverage bottles.
Es ist ein gattungsgemässer Flaschenkasten bekannt (DE-A-3 801 224, s. Fig. 5 - 8) mit elastischen Klemmelementen, welche als nach unten abstehende, nach aussen und dann nach unten abgebogene Zungen an Trennsäulen aus zwei gekreuzten vom Boden aufragenden Laschen ausgebildet sind und die Aufgabe haben, ein Verdrehen von im Flaschenkasten transportierten Glasflaschen zu verhindern und sicherzustellen, dass ihre Etiketten einem Fenster in der Seitenwand des Flaschenkastens zugewandt und damit von aussen sichtbar bleiben.A generic bottle crate is known (DE-A-3 801 224, see FIGS. 5-8) with elastic clamping elements, which are tongues that protrude downwards, outwards and then downwards on separating columns made of two crossed tabs that protrude from the floor are trained and have the task of preventing twisting of glass bottles transported in the bottle crate and ensuring that their labels face a window in the side wall of the bottle crate and thus remain visible from the outside.
Die in letzter Zeit zunehmend verbreiteten Kunststoffflaschen, insbesondere die leichten PET-Flaschen stellen ein zusätzliches Problem, das bei den verhältnismässig schweren Glasflaschen nicht auftritt, nämlich dass sie im leeren Zustand beim Transport auf der Ladefläche eines Lastwagens sehr leicht durch den Fahrtwind, durch Erschütterungen oder das Zusammenwirken von beidem aus dem Flaschenkasten gehoben werden können.The plastic bottles, which have recently become increasingly widespread, in particular the light PET bottles, pose an additional problem that does not occur with the relatively heavy glass bottles, namely that they are very easily emptied by the wind, vibrations or when transported on the back of a truck the interaction of both can be lifted out of the bottle crate.
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die Klemmelemente des gattungsgemässen Flaschenkastens keine ideale Sicherung bilden, da sie entweder zu geringen Druck auf die Flaschen ausüben oder aber verhältnismässig stark deformiert werden und dabei einer an bestimmten Stellen konzentrierten Belastung ausgesetzt werden, die ihre Lebensdauer beeinträchtigt.It has been shown that the clamping elements of the generic bottle crate do not form an ideal safeguard, since they either exert too little pressure on the bottles or are relatively deformed while being exposed to concentrated stress at certain points that affects their lifespan.
Hier soll die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Die Erfindung, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, schafft einen Flaschenkasten mit elastischen Klemmelementen, welche eine verhältnismässig steile Federkennlinie aufweisen, sodass schon bei geringer Deformation eine ausreichende Anpresskraft entwickelt wird. Ausserdem ist die Belastung des Klemmelements besser verteilt und konzentriert sich nicht auf eng begrenzte Zonen. Die Gefahr eines Bruchs oder einer sonstigen Verletzung des Klemmelements durch unsachgemässe Behandlung des Flaschenkastens ist durch die beidseitige Verankerung desselben ebenfalls stark reduziert. Darüberhinaus vereinfacht sich, besonders bei angepasster Ausbildung der Trennsäulen, die Herstellung des Flaschenkastens im üblichen Kunststoff-Spritzgussverfahren.The invention is intended to remedy this. The invention, as characterized in the claims, creates a bottle crate with elastic clamping elements, which have a relatively steep spring characteristic, so that a sufficient contact force is developed even with little deformation. In addition, the load on the clamping element is better distributed and is not concentrated in narrowly defined zones. The risk of breakage or other injury to the clamping element due to improper handling of the bottle crate is also greatly reduced by anchoring it on both sides. In addition, the bottle crate is simplified in the customary plastic injection molding process, especially when the separating columns are adapted.

Fig. 3 einen Ausschnitt aus einer Unteransicht des Flaschenkastens nach Fig. 1.3 shows a detail from a bottom view of the bottle crate according to FIG. 1.
Der in den Figuren dargestellte Flaschenkasten weist einen Boden 1 auf, von dem Trennsäulen aufragen, welche als nach unten offene Hohlzapfen 2 ausgebildet sind. Die Hohlzapfen 2 sind voneinander beabstandet und bilden ein regelmässiges Muster, vorzugsweise sind sie in den Ecken von Quadraten angeordnet, welche Fächer 3 bilden und durch niedrige Trennwälle 4 verbunden. Die Bodenabschnitte in den Fächern werden von mit den Hohlzapfen 2 und den Trennwällen 4 verbundenen Rippen und Ringen 5 gebildet. Der Boden 1 ist von Seitenwänden 6 umgeben, welche mit Fenstern versehen sein können und an denen den Hohlzapfen 2 entsprechend ausgebildete halbe Hohlzapfen 2! angeordnet sind.The bottle crate shown in the figures has a bottom 1, from which the separation columns protrude, which are called after hollow pins 2 open at the bottom are formed. The hollow pins 2 are spaced apart from one another and form a regular pattern, preferably they are arranged in the corners of squares which form compartments 3 and are connected by low dividing walls 4. The bottom sections in the compartments are formed by ribs and rings 5 connected to the hollow pins 2 and the dividing walls 4. The bottom 1 is surrounded by side walls 6, which can be provided with windows and on which the hollow pin 2, correspondingly designed half hollow pin 2 ! are arranged.
Die Hohlzapfen 2 weisen etwa quadratischen Querschnitt auf. Jedem der vier Fächer 3, welche an einen derselben anstossen, wendet der Hohlzapfen 2 einen seiner Seitenwandabschnitte 7 zu, die durch Wülste 8 an den Kanten zu einer im wesentlichen geschlossenen Seitenwand verbunden sind. Am oberen Ende des Hohlzapfens 2 laufen die Seitenwandabschnitte 7 annähernd pyramidenartig zusammen. An der Spitze ist eine Oeffnung 9 angebracht, welche das Ablaufen von Flüssigkeit ermöglicht, wenn derThe hollow pins 2 have an approximately square cross section. Each of the four compartments 3, which abut one of them, the hollow pin 2 turns to one of its side wall sections 7, which are connected by beads 8 at the edges to form a substantially closed side wall. At the upper end of the hollow pin 2, the side wall sections 7 converge approximately pyramid-like. At the tip an opening 9 is attached, which allows the drainage of liquid when the
Flaschenkasten - mit dem Boden nach oben - gewaschen wird.Bottle crate - with the bottom up - is washed.
Jeder der Seitenwandabschnitte 7 weist einen im wesentlichen vertikal ausgerichteten Bügel 10 auf, welcher selber einen Teil desselben bildet, jedoch von den beidseits angrenzenden Wandbereichen durch schmale Schlitze 11 getrennt ist und etwas in das Fach 3, dem der Seitenwandabschnitt 7 zugewandt ist, vorsteht. An seinem oberen Ende geht der Bügel 10 in den geneigten Teil des Seitenwandabschnitts 7 über, an seinem unteren Ende in einen sich nach unten leicht erweiternden Fussteil 12 des Hohlzapfens 2. Er besteht aus einem unteren Abschnitt 13, welcher, gegenüber dem Seitenwandabschnitt 7 leicht nach aussen geneigt, annähernd vertikal ausgerichtet ist und einem oberen Abschnitt 14, welcher zum Hohlzapfen 2 hin abgeknickt ist. Zur Verstärkung weist er an jedem Rand eine ins Innere des Hohlzapfens 2 vorstehende Längsrippe 15 auf.Each of the side wall sections 7 has a substantially vertically oriented bracket 10, which itself forms part of the same, but is separated from the wall regions bordering on both sides by narrow slots 11 and protrudes somewhat into the compartment 3 to which the side wall section 7 faces. At its upper end, the bracket 10 merges into the inclined part of the side wall section 7, at its lower end into a foot part 12 of the hollow pin 2 that widens slightly downwards. It consists of a lower section 13, which is slightly behind the side wall section 7 inclined on the outside, approximately vertically aligned and an upper section 14 which is bent toward the hollow pin 2. For reinforcement, it has one on each edge longitudinal rib 15 projecting into the interior of the hollow pin 2.
Wird eine Flasche 16 (gestrichelt gezeichnet) in das Fach 3 gesteckt, so wird der Bügel 10 leicht gegen den Hohlzapfen 2 hin eingedrückt und entwickelt aufgrund der beidseitigen Verankerung an demselben eine verhältnismässig grosse Anpresskraft, die den unteren Abschnitt 13 des Bügels 10 an die Aussenseite der Flasche 16 andrückt, d. h. an einer ziemlich grossen Fläche wirksam ist, sodass ein zuverlässiger Reibschluss gegeben ist. Durch die den Hohlzapfen 2 auch bei geringer Wanddicke eigene hohe Biegesteifigkeit ist gewährleistet, dass der Anspressdruck sich nicht bei nur teilweise gefülte Flaschenkasten durch seitliches Ausbiegen des Hohlzapfens 2 gegen ein ungefülltes Nachbarfach verringert. If a bottle 16 (shown in dashed lines) is inserted into the compartment 3, the bracket 10 is pressed slightly against the hollow pin 2 and, owing to the anchoring on both sides thereof, develops a relatively large contact pressure which pushes the lower section 13 of the bracket 10 to the outside the bottle 16 presses, d. H. is effective on a fairly large area, so that there is a reliable frictional connection. The high bending stiffness inherent in the hollow pin 2, even with a small wall thickness, ensures that the contact pressure is not reduced when the bottle crate is only partially filled by bending the hollow pin 2 sideways against an unfilled neighboring compartment.
