  • Percentage could also be collected through empty plastic bottles, which are set up in large urban centers were not significantly increased.
  • the Handling the empty plastic bottles is not easy as the Bottles occupy a large volume and due to their low volume Weight easily fall over and therefore preferably in rigid containers have to be collected before they get to appropriate Collection points are delivered.
  • a reduction of the volume can Although done by squeezing the bottles, however, is then it is necessary to unscrew the cap of the bottle, so that the bottle is not absorbed by air can expand again. This requires besides crushing the Bottle another handle, which the consumers unfortunately very often do not accept and therefore the bottle along with Dispose of the residual waste. Moreover, it is not possible, crushed Bottles in a vending machine to determine a possible Pledge to contribute.
  • bottle carriers have been developed, which on the one hand the carrying of the filled bottles from the dealer to the Consumers facilitate and on the other hand, a return of the emptied Allow bottles to be refilled or recycled.
  • DE 198 29 427 A1 describes a Bottle carrier with a base plate on which several bottles can be placed, which with double fingers, which the Embrace bottles, be held.

  • a holder of the subject type is in the WO 97/28061 A1, wherein the base plate means for anchoring has the bottles and indentations on its underside so that stacking up with bottles occupied mounts is possible.
  • the type of anchorage offers However, only limited support, so that in particular empty bottles on the base plate have an insufficient grip.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a Holder for recycling plastic bottles to create with the simple handling of empty bottles for the purpose of Return and the possible collection of a pledge possible becomes.
  • the holder for use in machines, For example, to raise the amount of the pledge, be suitable.
  • the holder should for the highest possible acceptance, if possible have low volume and weight and as fast as possible and cost-effective recycling of the bottles.
  • the holder should be together with the filled bottles offered and sold, with additional packaging steps, such as attaching a plastic film or handles, should not be required.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a recycled plastic bottle for such a holder.
  • the first object is achieved in that the anchoring means in from the top of the base plate pioneering Direction a decreasing cross-section and barb-shaped Have formations.
  • the anchoring means are arranged at the top of the base plate, is the Bottle bottom, which in recycled plastic bottles is usually made thicker, especially for anchoring the bottles on the base of the bracket.
  • such Anchoring means not visible from the outside and thus disturb the visual appearance of the bottle assembly not.
  • the bottles Easy to put on and they provide the required Stop the recycling bottles on the holder. Due to the compact Placement of empty bottles in the holder is a better vending machine, on the one hand for the calculation of a possible Pledge, on the other hand also for the recycling given. This advantage may also apply to the filling or labeling the bottles are exploited, since the handling by the holder according to the invention is simplified.
  • the means for Anchoring of the bottles are exclusively on the base plate arranged.
  • the holder consists of the same Plastic like the bottles. This is a quick and easy Recycling of the bottles is ensured together with the holder. So can a recycling, for example, by crushing the bottles together with the holder and the Production of granules, which again for the generation of new Bottles and holders or other products used can be done. It is not an additional step required to remove the recycling bottles from the holder separate and separate to a recycling process.
