Abstract
Description
- The present invention concerns a crate made of plastic, in particular a bottle crate, which is provided with at least one handle.
- The invention concerns crates provided with handle openings situated in two opposite longitudinal and/or cross side walls as well as crates in which the handle is provided in the middle.
- In the first case, the wall part situated above the handle opening forms the actual handle.
- In the latter case, the handle usually has the shape of a brace either or not extending above the side walls.
- In all these known crates, the handle is made of the same plastic as the rest of the crate.
- The plastic, usually polyethylene, is rather smooth, so that the grip on the handle is not so good.
- In order to obtain a better grip, the bottom of the handle is provided with ribs or such in some crates, or with rounded recesses for the fingers, but the improvement of the grip is restricted.
- The invention aims a crate made of plastic with at least one handle which excludes the above-mentioned and other disadvantages, whereby the handle allows for a better grip and the crate is easier to handle.
- This aim is reached according to the invention in that the surface of the part of the handle where the hand is to be placed when picking up the crate is at least partially formed of a layer made of a plastomer.
- This plastomer may be an ethylene octene copolymer, and in particular a metallocene ethylene octene copolymer, having a density of for example 880 to 915 kg/m3.
- Preferably, the entire zone where the hand is to be placed will be provided with such a layer made of a plastomer.
- This layer can be superposed as well as countersunk in the handle, so that it does not protrude.
- Said layer can be fixed as a loose part on the rest of the handle, for example it can be mechanically connected or glued, or it can be directly injection-moulded on the rest.
- The layer is not only made of another material than the rest of the crate, it can also be of a different colour, so that the layer can be used for example as a distinctive mark for the content of the crate.
- In order to better explain the characteristics of the invention, the following preferred embodiments of a crate according to the invention are described as an example only without being limitative in any way, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- figure 1 shows a view in perspective of a crate provided with handles according to the invention;
- figure 2 represents a section according to line II-II in figure 1;
- figure 3 shows a view analogous to that in figure 1, but with reference to another embodiment of the crate and of the handle according to the invention;
- figure 4 shows a section according to line IV-IV in figure 3.
-
- Figure 1 represents a bottle crate which, as usual, consists of a bottom 1, four standing walls, namely two
longitudinal walls 2 and twocross walls 3, and partitions 4 on the bottom 1 which divide the crate in compartments for the bottles. - The standing
walls columns 5. - In each of the two
cross standing walls 3 is provided a handle opening 6 at a small distance form the top edge. - What is characteristic is that the part of the
wall 3 which is situated above thishandle opening 6 contains a surface formed of a layer ofplastomer 7 and thus forms theactual handle 9 together with this layer ofplastomer 7. - By plastomer is meant here an alkine plastomer which can be classified in between the hard plastics such as polyethylene and the rubberlike elastomers.
- Their density is preferably situated between 880 and 915 kg/cm3, and their melting point is preferably situated between 70 and 110°C.
- Plastomers are soft to the touch and that is why they are called 'soft-touch'. They are flexible and tough, and their elastic modulus is preferably situated between 20 and 150 Mpa, they are resistant to cracks when being pleated, they can be easily dyed and they are highly cold-resistant.
- They have a narrow molecular distribution of weight and a narrow co-monomer distribution.
- The plastomer of the
layer 7 preferably belongs to the same family of plastics as the material of which the rest of the crate is made. - A suitable plastic for the crate is polyethylene, whereas an ethylene octene copolymer is also a suitable plastomer, in particular a metallocene ethylene octene copolymer having a density between 880 and 915 kg/cm3, which has obtained its particular characteristics by applying the metallocene catalyst technology.
- Such a suitable plastic for the
layer 7 is the plastic which is marketed by the Dutch company DEX-PLASTOMERS, a DSM/EXXON CHEMICAL joint venture, under the trade name 'exact'. - The
part 8 of thewall 3 which is situated above the handle opening 6 and which forms the core of the actual handle is coated with the layer ofplastomer 7. Thislayer 7 surrounds thepart 8 entirely and is thus present on the entire zone where the hand is placed when thehandle 9 is seized. - This
part 8 can be made somewhat smaller than usual in such a crate, namely such that thelayer 7 is countersunk in thewall 3 and thus does not protrude. Thispart 8, made of relatively rigid or hard plastic, is preferably solid, as represented in figure 2, in order to make it sturdy. - The colour of the
layer 7 is different from the rest of the crate, so that it can be used for distinguishing the content of the crate or merely for aesthetic reasons. - The layer of
plastomer 7 can be injection-moulded on thepart 8. After the crate has been injection-moulded in a mould without thelayers 7, the layers ofplastomer 7 of the handles are provided in a second mould by means of injection moulding. - According to a variant, these layers or
plastomer 7 can be injection-moulded as separate and can subsequently be fixed on theparts 8, for example by means of gluing or by means of mechanical connections. In the latter case, every layer ofplastomer 7 can be provided with protrusions which can be clamped or snapped in corresponding recesses in thepart 8. - According to another embodiment of the crate, the
handles 9 can be provided in thelongitudinal side walls 2, or the crate may have such handles 9 both in thecross side walls 3 and in thelongitudinal side walls 2. - Apart from
handles 9 in theside walls 2 and/or 3, or instead of these, the crate may have acentral handle 10 in the shape of a brace as in the embodiment represented in figures 3 and 4. - In this embodiment, the part of the
handle 10 which coincides with the base of the U-shaped brace is coated all over with a layer ofplastomer 7. The above-mentioned part has not been reduced in the given example, so that the layer ofplastomer 7 is a superposed layer and thus a protruding layer, although it is possible, of course, to countersink this layer ofplastomer 7 as well in the relative hard material of thehandle 10. - In all these embodiments, the layer of
plastomer 7 provides a better grip and the crate is easier to handle. - As both the material of the actual crate and the plastomer are compatible, preferably polyethylene and a polyethylene copolymer respectively, the materials do not need to be separated when recycling the crate. The crate as a whole with the plastomer can be ground and used for recycling.
- The invention is by no means limited to the above-described embodiments represented in the accompanying drawings; on the contrary, such a crate made of plastic can be made in all sorts of variants while still remaining within the scope of the invention as described in the following claims.
- In particular, the
layer 7 must not necessarily entirely surround the part of a standing wall situated above the handle opening 6 in case of ahandle 9, nor the bottom of the brace in case of acentral handle 10. It is sufficient that thislayer 7 is provided there where the hands are placed to take up the crate with thehandle
