Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Getränkekasten mit Kronenkorkenöffner nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a beverage crate with a crown cap opener according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein gattungsgemäßer Getränkekasten ist bereits durch die DE 91 15 560 U1 offenbart. Der Öffner befindet sich in der Außenwand des Getränkekastens und ist in abgewinkelter Form angebracht. Er ist dergestalt angeordnet, daß die Kronenkorken beim Öffnen der Flaschen direkt in einen abgestellten Auffangkorb fallen. Diese Art des integrierten Flaschenöffners hat den Nachteil, daß die in großen Mengen auf dem Markt befindlichen Getränkekästen nicht oder nur mit großem technischen Aufwand nachgerüstet werden können.A generic beverage crate is already in DE 91 15 560 U1. The opener is in the outer wall of the beverage crate and is attached in an angled shape. It is arranged in such a way that the crown caps open the bottles fall directly into a storage basket. This type of integrated bottle opener has the disadvantage that the beverage crates on the market in large quantities not retrofitted or only with great technical effort can be.

Ein weiterer gattungsgemäßer Getränkekasten mit integriertem Kronenkorkenöffner ist in der DE 93 05 472 U1 beschrieben. Im oberen Bereich einer Seitenwand des Getränkekastens ist eine rechteckförmige Öffnung eingelassen. Von der Oberkante der Seitenwand ist ein Schlitz eingebracht, in den der aus Blech gefertigte Öffner von oben her eingeschoben ist. Der Öffner besitzt eine ausgestanzte rechteckförmige Öffnung, die als Kronenkorkenöffner dient und mit Öffnung in der Seitenwand des Getränkekastens korrespondiert. Das Blech des Öffners schließt mit der Oberkante der Seitenwand bündig ab. Auch in diesem Fall ist der technische Aufwand zur Anbringung eines Kronenkorkenöffners in einem Getränkekasten relativ hoch, da neben der einzubringenden Rechtecköffnung noch die Seitenwand zu schlitzen ist. Die und die Halterung des Öffners in der Seitenwand erscheinen problematisch.Another generic beverage crate with integrated Crown cork opener is described in DE 93 05 472 U1. in the The upper area of a side wall of the beverage crate is one rectangular opening. From the top of the A slot is inserted in the side wall, in which the sheet metal manufactured opener is inserted from above. The opener has a punched out rectangular opening, which as Bottle opener is used and with opening in the side wall of the Beverage crate corresponds. The sheet metal of the opener closes flush with the top edge of the side wall. In this case, too is the technical effort to attach a crown cap opener in a beverage crate relatively high, because in addition to the one to be introduced Rectangle opening still slit the side wall is. The and the holder of the opener appear in the side wall problematic.

Ausgehend von dem vorgenannten Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Getränkekasten der eingangs geschilderten Art zu schaffen, in den ein Kronenkorkenöffner in technisch einfachster zu Art integrieren ist und ohne technische Probleme auch in vorhandene Getränkekasten nachrüstbar ist. Ferner soll der Kronenkorkenöffner leicht vom Getränkekasten entnehmbar sein, um dadurch den Recyclinggedanken zu fördern.Starting from the aforementioned prior art, it is a task the invention, a beverage crate of the aforementioned Kind of creating a crown cap in technically is simplest to integrate and without technical problems can also be retrofitted into existing beverage crates. Furthermore should the crown cap opener can be easily removed from the beverage crate in order to promote recycling.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, the object is achieved by the features of the patent claim 1 solved.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Advantageous further developments and refinements are in the Subclaims described.

Die Getränkehersteller für Kronenkorkenflaschen haben sich schon vor Jahren dahingehend geeinigt, nur noch einheitliche, genormte Kastengrößen einzusetzen, damit bei der Lagerung und beim Transport solcher Getränkekästen eine einfache und sichere Stapelung möglich ist. Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung geht von der leichten Nachrüstbarkeit der vorhandenen Getränkekästen aus, da diese eine über Jahre dauernde Haltbarkeit aufweisen und deshalb ein Austausch vorhandener, funktionstüchtiger Getränkekästen kaum bis gar nicht infrage kommt.The beverage manufacturers for crown cork bottles have agreed years ago, only uniform, use standardized box sizes so that during storage and easy and safe when transporting such beverage crates Stacking is possible. The basic idea of the invention starts from the easy retrofitting of the existing beverage crates because they have a shelf life that lasts for years and therefore an exchange of existing, functional beverage crates hardly or not at all.

Die Integration des Kronenkorkenöffners gelingt dadurch auf einfache Weise, weil die im Getränkekasten vorhandenen Hohlräume optimal genutzt werden. Diese Hohlräume sind von der Bodenfläche her offen, dagegen von der Oberseite gesehen geschlossen. Dazu befinden sich diese langgestreckten Hohlräume in den Seitenbereichen der vier Seitenwände, wodurch es möglich ist, einen oder mehrere, beispielsweise je Seitenwand einen Kronenkorkenöffner unterzubringen, ohne daß der Getränkekasten deshalb in besonderer und aufwendiger Weise zu verändern ist.The integration of the crown cap opener succeeds simple way because the voids present in the beverage crate can be used optimally. These cavities are from the bottom surface open here, but closed from the top. For this purpose, these elongated cavities are in the Side areas of the four side walls, which makes it possible one or more, for example a crown cap opener for each side wall accommodate without the beverage crate therefore is to be changed in a special and complex manner.

Der konstruktiv gestaltete und aus einem Metall gefertigte Kronenkorkenöffner wird von unten in eine Hohlkammer eingeführt und bis zur Oberkante verschoben. In Höhe der Öffnerzungen wird in den Getränkekasten eine Öffnung, insbesondere eine Bohrung angebracht.Der Kronenkorkenöffner ist schließlich mechanisch, beispielsweise durch einen Stift, einen Niet, eine Schraube oder dergleichen befestigt, so daß ein Herausrutschen aus der Hohlkammer vermieden ist.The constructively designed and made of a metal Crown cap opener is inserted into a hollow chamber from below and moved to the top edge. In the amount of the opening tongues in the beverage crate an opening, in particular a hole The crown cap opener is finally mechanical, for example by a pin, a rivet, a screw or the like attached so that slipping out of the Hollow chamber is avoided.

Der Getränkekasten 1 besteht aus einem geeigneten Kunststoff und besitzt eine genormte Größe entsprechend der aufzunehmenden Getränkeart bzw. Getränkeflaschen. Im gezeigten Beispiel sei von einem Getränkekasten 1 für Bierflaschen mit je 0,5 Liter Volumen ausgegangen. In einen solchen Getränkekasten werden vier Reihen zu fünf Flaschen, nämlich 20 Getränkeflaschen aufgenommen. Dies ist an den ringförmigen Stegen 2 der Bodenfläche 3 erkennbar.The beverage crate 1 is made of a suitable plastic and has a standardized size according to the one to be recorded Type of beverage or beverage bottles. In the example shown from a beverage crate 1 for beer bottles with 0.5 liters each Volume ran out. Be in such a beverage crate four rows of five bottles, namely 20 beverage bottles added. This is on the annular webs 2 of the bottom surface 3 recognizable.

Die Seitenwände 4 und 5 an den Stirnflächen bzw. Breitflächen des Getränkekastens besitzen ausgeformte Griffmulden 6. Im oberen Bereich der Seitenwände 4 und 5 und regelmäßig auf der rechten oberen Fläche befinden sich vorgeprägte, rechteckförmige Flächen 7. Solche Flächen 7 können natürlich auch auf der linken oberen Seitenwandfläche und jeweils seitlich neben den Griffmulden 6 vorgesehen sein.The side walls 4 and 5 on the end faces or wide areas of the beverage crate have molded recessed handles 6. In upper area of the side walls 4 and 5 and regularly on the The right upper surface contains pre-shaped, rectangular ones Surfaces 7. Such surfaces 7 can of course also on the top left side panel and laterally next to the Handle recesses 6 may be provided.

Von der Bodenfläche 3 her sind in die Seitenwände 4 und 5 nach unten offene Hohlkammern 8 und 9 ausgeformt, die sich bis zur Oberkante 10 der Seitenwände 4 und 5 erstrecken. Diese Hohlkammern 8 laufen an den Griffmulden 6 mit Abstand vorbei. Es sind aber auch Getränkekästen 1 auf dem Markt, bei denen die Hohlkammer 8 von unten beginnend am unteren Steg 11 der Griffschale 6 endet. Diese Hohlkammern setzen sich allerdings oberhalb der Griffschale 6 fort und enden wiederum an der Oberkante 10 der Seitenwand 4 oder 5.From the bottom surface 3 forth in the side walls 4 and 5 hollow chambers 8 and 9 open at the bottom, which extend up to Top edge 10 of the side walls 4 and 5 extend. These cavities 8 run past the recessed grips 6 at a distance. There are but also beverage crates 1 on the market in which the hollow chamber 8 starting from the bottom on the lower web 11 of the grip shell 6 ends. However, these hollow chambers sit above the Handle shell 6 away and in turn end at the top edge 10 of the Sidewall 4 or 5.

In die Fläche 7 in der Seitenwand 4 oder 5 ist eine Bohrung 15 von etwa 35 Millimetern eingelassen. Diese Bohrung 15 durchdringt lediglich die äußere Wand, während die Rückwand der Hohlkammer 8 geschlossen bleibt, was die Festigkeit des Getränkekastens erhält und Verletzungsgefahren und das Eindringen von Schmutz verringert. Bei Bedarf und besonderem Wunsch des Bedieners kann natürlich auch die Rückwand durchbohrt sein.A bore 15 is in the surface 7 in the side wall 4 or 5 of about 35 millimeters. This hole 15 penetrates only the outer wall, while the rear wall of the Hollow chamber 8 remains closed, which is the strength of the beverage crate receives and risk of injury and intrusion of Dirt reduced. If necessary and special request of the operator Of course, the back wall can also be pierced.

Die Bohrung 15 oder Öffnung befindet sich im oberen Teil der Fläche 7.The bore 15 or opening is in the upper part of the Area 7.

In die bodenseitige Öffnung 12 der Hohlkammer 8 wird nun der Kronenkorkenöffner 13 mit seinem Kopfteil 22 eingeführt und bis unter die geschlossene Oberkante 10 der Seitenwand 4 oder 5 geschoben. In dieser oberen Position wird der Kronenkorkenöffner 13 mechanisch, beispielsweise durch einen Niet 14 befestigt. Hier können natürlich auch andere geeignete Befestigungsmittel eingesetzt werden. In the bottom opening 12 of the hollow chamber 8 is now the Crown cap opener 13 inserted with its head 22 and up under the closed upper edge 10 of the side wall 4 or 5 pushed. In this upper position the crown cap opens 13 mechanically, for example fastened by a rivet 14. Of course, other suitable fasteners can also be used here be used.

Der Kronenkorkenöffner 13 besitzt einen vorderen, langgestreckten Teil 16 mit einer Bohrung 17 für den Niet 14. Die Breite des Teils 16 ist im wesentlichen der Breite der Hohlkammer 8 angepaßt. Die Oberkante 18 des vorderen Teils 16 ist bogenförmig gestaltet. Es sind auch andere Formgebungen denkbar und für das Öffnen von Kronenkorken geeignet. Auf der Rückseite des Teiles 16 und wenig unterhalb der bogenförmigen Kante 18 ist ein U-förmiger Teil 19 einstückig angebracht. Die Öffnung des U-Teils 19 ist nach vorne zum Teil 16 gerichtet. Die Vorderkante 20 des U-Teils 19 verläuft im wesentlichen bündig mit der Frontfläche des vorderen Teils 16. Die bogenförmige Kante 18 und die gegenüberliegende Vorderkante 20 des Kopfteiles 14 bilden die Öffnungszungen 18,20 des Kronenkorkenöffners 13.The crown cap opener 13 has an elongated front Part 16 with a hole 17 for the rivet 14. The width of part 16 is essentially the width of hollow chamber 8 customized. The upper edge 18 of the front part 16 is arcuate designed. Other shapes are also conceivable and for suitable for opening crown caps. On the back of the Part 16 and a little below the arcuate edge 18 a U-shaped part 19 attached in one piece. The opening of the U-part 19 is directed towards part 16. The leading edge 20 of the U-part 19 is essentially flush with the Front surface of the front part 16. The arcuate edge 18 and the opposite front edge 20 of the head part 14 form the opening tongues 18, 20 of the crown cap opener 13.

Der Hohlraum 21 im U-Teil 19 reicht aus, um einen Kronenkorken vom Flaschenhals zu trennen. Der geöffnete Kronenkorken fällt dann außen zum Boden des Getränkekastens 1. Die Gesamttiefe des Kronenkorkenöffners 13 entspricht der Breite der Hohlkammer 8 in der Seitenwand 4 oder 5.The cavity 21 in the U-part 19 is sufficient for a crown cap to separate from the bottle neck. The opened crown cap falls then outside to the bottom of the beverage crate 1. The total depth of the Crown cap opener 13 corresponds to the width of the hollow chamber 8 in the side wall 4 or 5.

Der Kronenkorkenöffner 13 ist aus Metall, beispielsweise aus einem VA-Stahl hergestellt. Er kann an den vier Seitenwänden des Getränkekasten oder nur an einzelnen ausgewählten Seitenwänden eingesetzt werden.The crown cap opener 13 is made of metal, for example made of VA steel. It can be on the four side walls of the beverage crate or only on individual selected side walls be used.

Die Gesamtlänge des Kronenkorkenöffners 13 ist variabel. Ein längerer Öffner 13 eignet sich besser zum Nachrüsten, während ein kürzerer Öffner 13 in den Getränkekasten direkt bei der Herstellung als Einlegeteil integriert werden kann.The total length of the crown cap opener 13 is variable. A longer opener 13 is better for retrofitting while a shorter opener 13 in the beverage crate directly at the Manufacturing can be integrated as an insert.
