Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bottle crate according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • bottle crates are used primarily for the transport and storage of wine bottles. While wine bottles are preferably transported upright, if they are closed with corks, they should not be stored in this position for a long time, otherwise there is a risk that the cork will dry out and become air-permeable, so that the wine oxidizes.
  • Bottle crates of the usual design such as z. B. for transport and storage of beer, mineral water and other bottles sealed with crown corks or screw caps, but are not suitable for horizontal storage of bottles, as these can easily slide forward from their storage compartment when the bottle crate is tilted onto a side wall . For this reason, special bottle crates have been offered for a long time, in which bottles can be stored lying down in such a way that the bottle bottom is somewhat lower and the bottle neck is raised slightly, so that there is a threshold against the bottle sliding out.
  • a bottle crate is known with a compartment, the partition walls of which are provided with trapezoidal recesses which widen towards the bottom and into which the bottles slide when the bottle crate is tilted onto a side wall. This ensures that the bottles are held securely, but because of the relatively large recesses, the bottles can be hit against one another and damaged by vibrations during transport.
  • a bottle crate is known from EP-A-0 306 783, in which the bottle bottom from a basic position which it assumes when the bottle is standing, when the bottle crate is tilted laterally displaceable on a side wall and the bottle can thereby be tilted about a support bench mounted at a medium height or is held in the position described above by support strips.
  • the bottles are always separated reliably so that mutual damage is not possible. This tried and tested solution is relatively complicated and complex to manufacture.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a bottle crate of the latter type, which can be produced easily and with little effort.
  • the invention provides a simple, easy-to-manufacture bottle crate which keeps wine bottles safely separated, especially during transport, and does not allow them to be struck together, but in which it also lies in a lying position are reliably held so that there is no risk of the bottles sliding out.
  • the structure of the bottle crate is very space-saving despite the required lateral freedom of movement for the bottle bottoms.
  • the bottle crate has a bottom formed by a floor grille 1 and two longitudinal and two transverse outer walls 2 and 3 which are connected by corner bars 4.
  • the space enclosed by them is divided by longitudinal dividing elements 5 and transverse dividing elements 6 in the longitudinal direction into three and in the transverse direction into two compartments 7.
  • the longitudinal division elements 5 are designed as approximately half-height, solid, continuous partition walls, each of which connects an outer spar 8 formed on the inside of the outer wall 2 to an inner spar 9 surrounded by four adjustable compartments 7.
  • the two inner spars 9 are connected by a carrying handle 10 which does not protrude beyond the outer walls 2, 3.
  • Each setting compartment 7 has mutually effective opposing supports in the transverse direction.
  • the support on the opposite transverse dividing element 6 is formed by two support projections arranged at the same height, each of which has troughs 12.
  • Adjoining support projections arranged on both sides of the transverse dividing element 6 and projecting into adjacent adjustment compartments 7 together form a nose 13 which projects from an outer wall 2 or an inner spar 9 between the adjacent adjustment compartments 7.
  • Two mutually facing lugs 13 are each connected by a wall strip 14, from the lower edge of which a separating tongue 15 projects almost down to the floor grid 1.
  • the separating tongue 15 is relatively thin and elastically deformable.
  • stop strips 16 run down to the floor grating 1 on both sides next to the separating tongue 15. she are formed by the inner spar 9 and - on the outer wall 3 - a web 17, the width of which decreases slightly downwards, so that the stop strips 16 diverge slightly.
  • a bottle 18 is held in one of the adjustment compartments 7 by the support projections in the position shown in solid lines in FIGS. 1, 3. If the bottle crate is tilted onto the lower outer wall 2 in FIG. 1, the bottom of the bottle of the lower bottle slides into the position 18 'shown in dashed lines (see FIG. 1, bottom right), in which it hits the inside of the outer wall 2 . It tilts around the support formed by the support fingers 11, which is of course arranged so that the center of gravity of the bottle is lower than it and thereby comes into a slight inclined position in which the bottle neck is slightly higher than the bottle bottom.
  • the bottle bottom of the bottle 18 set in the setting compartment 7 above also slides down into the position 18 'indicated by the dashed lines, the jacket of the bottle, the elastic tongue 15 being deformed downwards into the likewise dashed line indicated position 15 'presses (see also Fig. 3). It can easily rest on the lower bottle.
  • the downward movement of the bottle bottom is in any case limited by the stop strips 16, the distance between which is significantly smaller than the bottle diameter.
  • the upper bottle can protrude with its lower part into the underlying adjustment compartment 7 - its position, as can be seen in FIG. 1, even overlaps with the basic position of the lower bottle, which it occupies when the bottle crate is upright, in a space-saving manner - the displacement however by the stop strips 16 limited.
  • the bottles never come into contact with one another, since the separating tongue 15 is always between them.
  • the bottles 18 move in a completely corresponding manner.
  • the solution described can of course also be used for larger bottle crates. It can also be generalized to the extent that, with minor modifications, the longitudinal dividing elements can be designed in the same way as the transverse dividing elements, so that the function according to the invention is ensured regardless of which of the outer walls of the bottle crate is tilted.
