Definitions
- the invention relates to a bottle carrier according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Beverage crates such as crates, are typically intended to hold a large number of beverage containers, such as bottles or cartons. This results in a relatively large weight of the filled beverage crates. Therefore, it is known in bottles to summarize this in a smaller number in bottle carriers, which in turn can be used in and removed from bottle crates.
- bottle carriers are popular because of their manually manageable size at end consumers of beverages such as beer, mineral water, juices, etc. Many of the variants of bottle carriers are not designed to be transport or storage friendly.
- a known solution to provide consumers with small containers and to treat them in cheaper transport and storage units is that the existing capacity of a beverage crate for receiving individual bottles, e.g. is divided into several containers in the form of bottle carriers, these bottle carriers, while preserving the total number of bottles, are used in the beverage crate.
- bottle carriers which consist of cardboard ( DE-U1 201 12 228 ) and must be torn to remove the bottles, so that a reusable use is excluded, so that noticeable Waste quantities are incurred for disposal.
- the bottles are taken up by these bottle carriers after filling, only then can these containers be inserted into the beverage crates receiving them.
- a bottle carrier made of plastic which at least partially avoids these problems, is for example from the DE-U 77 09 005 known.
- This bottle carrier has a pull-out carrying handle, which does not hinder the stacking of the bottle carrier in the inserted state, so that the beverage filling, distribution and storage can be performed without hindrance to the same procedures as before, ie the drinks are at the bottler, as before , bottled, the bottles are here in the bottle carriers, which are used in the known beverage crates, eg beer crates.
- a filling of the bottles is, as before, unchanged without inserted bottle carrier.
- the bottle carrier has bottle compartments, which are connected to each other only at the top. The undersides of the respective bottle compartments are not interconnected. In this way, the bottle carrier can be preferably used in crates with square subdivision and compartment walls.
- the structure of this bottle carrier requires a relatively large weight, and the amount of plastic required for its production is also relatively large.
- the invention has for its object to provide a bottle carrier of the type mentioned, which has a simple and easy handling both for the consumer and the filling and distribution chain a weight and material-saving simple structure.
- the bottle carrier according to the invention can be used in conventional bottle or other beverage crates without their modification, since it has a retractable handle and openings, can enter into the bottle guide elements of the existing bottle crates.
- the dimensions of the bottle carrier are set so that the over the bottles measured external dimensions, in length and in width, are not exceeded.
- the bottle carrier is made of a durable material, preferably plastic. Another advantage is that outside of the boxes, the bottle carrier occupied with bottles can be stacked or stacked in a composite, the bottle carrier are placed directly on the bottles.
- the elements forming these can be limited in their dimensions to a minimum, so that there is a very low weight with high load capacity and long life.
- the bottom plate 2 corresponds to the dimensions resulting from the sum of the grid dimensions a and b, respectively FIG. 5 , plus the diameter of a bottle 25, since this makes a trouble insertion of the bottle carrier 1 and 30 in a bottle crate possible. Slightly protruding over the edges of the bottom plate 2 bottles 25 facilitate by their rounding the insertion, the still by a chamfer 3 of the bottom plate according to FIG. 1 can be relieved.
- passage openings 9 and recesses 10 which, upon insertion of the bottle carrier 1 into a known bottle crate, such as e.g. Beer crate, which can penetrate into these bottle crates existing guide columns for bottles in the bottle carrier 1.
- Transverse webs 6 and central web 7 are each provided with recesses 11 and 14, respectively, which have the purpose of also forming free spaces which allow the insertion of the bottle carrier into a beer crate through said guide columns.
- the bottom plate 2 is further in the region of the central axes 26 of the inserted bottles 25 in the particular in FIG. 8 recognizable manner provided with holes 12 which have a countersink 13, whose diameter is larger in each case is, as the diameter of the closure of a bottle 25, for example, a crown cork.
- the cylindrical wall of the counterbore 13 serves as a stop when stacked.
- the holes 12 are used for cleaning and material savings, more holes and openings for this purpose are not shown.
- the carrying handle 15, consisting of the bracket 16, the rods 17 and the discs 18 mounted thereon, is vertically displaceable with its rods 17 and the discs 18 in the guide sleeves 8 (see in particular Figures 1 and 2 ).
- the bracket 16 To support the bracket 16, from the position F in the position E pulled up so far that it provides enough space to reach through when wearing. In the situation F, the bracket 16 is lowered so far that its surface 20, with a distance x, below the plane 27, which is determined by the bottle height, located. The distance x corresponds at least to the depth of the reduction 13.
- the bracket 16 are attached to the receptacle for the rods 17, cone 21, which support the support handle 15 in the lowered state in conical sockets 22 and center. Furthermore, according to FIG. 9 attached to the bracket 16 side recesses 23, so that the bracket has a sufficient distance from the bottles in the inserted state.
- bottles 25 can, e.g. with or without bottles 25, be used in a commercial beer crate.
- the insertion is made by the circumferential chamfer 3 of the bottom plate 2 facilitates.
- the carrying handle 15 After insertion of the bottle carrier 1, the carrying handle 15 is lowered; This makes it possible to set up another beer crate on an existing, or to stack beer crates, since the patch beer crate is not affected or obstructed by the parts used.
- the beer crates, with or without inserted bottle carrier 1, as previously stocked with bottles 25 In the bottling plants, the beer crates, with or without inserted bottle carrier 1, as previously stocked with bottles 25. To make this possible, the carrying handle 15 must be lowered to below the level 27, and it must be the aforementioned recesses 23 are mounted on the bracket 16, the suction cups of the charging stations, which grip the bottles during insertion and also during dispensing, give enough space. The recesses 23 are necessary so that the bottles 25 can not be placed on the bracket 16 or deflected when inserted into their chamber 28. The remaining thickness d on the bracket 16 therefore corresponds approximately to the thickness of the central web 7.
- the bottle carriers 25 occupied bottle carrier 1 are also stackable separately, this is, with lowered carrying handle 15 of the lower bottle carrier 1, another bottle carrier placed on the lower, that the faces of the reductions 13 is placed on the top of the bottle 25. Stacking in combination is possible.
- FIGS. 3, 4 and 6 serves a bottle carrier 30 with a reduced bottom plate 31 for receiving four bottles.
- Six such bottle carrier 30, each with four bottles 25, are used in common beer crates.
- the carrying handle 33 is designed so that in a guide 32, the rod 34 can be provided with a ball knob 35, as a greater clearance between the bottles 25, in the point of the carrying handle 33, available is.
- the ball button 35 obstructs in this position, with appropriate size, not the bottles to be used 25 and not the suction cups used in the process.
- the guide 37 and the rod 38 are to be designed by profiling so that the carrying handle 36 is not rotatable, since otherwise it may hinder bottles and suction cups when inserting or removing bottles 25 ,
- the bottle carrier 1 and 30 can in the particular in the FIGS. 10 and 11 shown manner also be provided with a circumferential or interrupted web 39, which stabilizes the bottle carrier 1 and 30. It is arranged on the corner supports 4 and edge supports 5 and connected to the ends of the central web 7. So that this web 39 does not hinder the insertion into a beer crate, its thickness may increase the outer dimensions of the bottle carrier 1 or 30 at most only by an amount which is below the intake measure of the receiving beer crate. Here, the recording game is restricted only in the area of the web 39.
- the web 39 is provided with wedge-shaped contours 40, which facilitate the introduction of the bottles 25.
- the bottom plate is divided by the passage openings 9 and the recesses 10 in each corresponding to a bottle compartment bottom portions, the bottom portions of two adjacent rows of bottle compartments on the inner support members 7a are connected to the first connecting web 7b, where the guide sleeves 8 are attached to the carrying handle 15.
- the bottom plate in the particular out FIG. 18 recognizable manner has a relatively small wall thickness with a variety of rib-shaped stiffeners, results here also at low material requirements high strength.
- Edge supports 5 are formed bent in this embodiment about a vertical axis around and concave outwardly so that they can optionally accommodate existing in a bottle crate guide elements and their stiffness is increased at the same time with low material thickness.
- a similar kinked embodiment may also be provided for the corner posts, if desired due to guide elements present in the bottle crate or for reasons of strength.
- the corner supports 4 are connected to the edge supports 5 and the first connecting web via a circumferential web 39, which also must have only a small amount.
- the wall thickness of the corner supports 4, the edge supports 5 and the inner support members 7a and 7b of the first connecting web can be chosen very small overall, so that the space requirement of the bottle carrier is reduced overall and commercial crates, as they are partially for holding cardboard containers made of cardboard used, can also be used with these bottle carriers.
- the embodiment of the carrying handle may be that of the embodiments according to the Figures 1-13 correspond.
- the carrying handle 15a is provided with rods 17a having at the end locking projections 18a, which the disc of the embodiment of the Figures 1-13 replace.
- the rod 17 a is provided with slots 51 which a Squeezing the lower, provided with the locking projections 18a ends of the rods 17a allow so far that they are inserted into the guide sleeve 8 and then extend again after passing through an initial part of these sleeves and behind the stop 19 of the guide sleeve 18 can come to a stop.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Flaschenträger nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a bottle carrier according to the preamble of
Getränkekästen, wie zum Beispiel Flaschenkästen, sind üblicherweise zur Aufnahme einer großen Anzahl von Getränkebehältern, wie Flaschen oder Kartonverpackungen, bestimmt. Hierdurch ergibt sich ein relativ großes Gewicht der gefüllten Getränkekästen. Daher ist es bei Flaschen bekannt, dies in einer geringeren Anzahl in Flaschenträgem zusammenzufassen, die ihrerseits in Flaschenkästen einsetzbar und aus diesen entnehmbar sind.Beverage crates, such as crates, are typically intended to hold a large number of beverage containers, such as bottles or cartons. This results in a relatively large weight of the filled beverage crates. Therefore, it is known in bottles to summarize this in a smaller number in bottle carriers, which in turn can be used in and removed from bottle crates.
Derartige Flaschenträger sind aufgrund ihrer manuell leicht handhabbaren Größe bei Endverbrauchern von Getränken wie Bier, Mineralwasser, Säften, etc. beliebt. Viele der Varianten von Flaschenträgern sind aber nicht transport- oder lagerfreundlich ausgeführt.Such bottle carriers are popular because of their manually manageable size at end consumers of beverages such as beer, mineral water, juices, etc. Many of the variants of bottle carriers are not designed to be transport or storage friendly.
Durch die Formgebung und störende, vorstehende Traggriffe sind diese, im allgemeinen für Kleingebinde genutzten Flaschenträger, nicht stapelfähig, was sich u.a. auf die Lagerhaltung und auf den Versand negativ auswirkt.Due to the shape and disturbing, protruding carrying handles these, generally used for small containers bottle carrier, not stackable, which u.a. has a negative effect on warehousing and shipping.
Eine bekannte Lösung, Kleingebinde für Verbraucher zu schaffen und diese in günstigeren Transport- und Lagereinheiten zu behandeln, besteht darin, dass die vorhandene Kapazität eines Getränkekastens zur Aufnahme von einzelnen Flaschen, z.B. in mehrere Gebinde in Form von Flaschenträgern unterteilt wird, wobei diese Flaschenträger, bei Erhaltung der Gesamtzahl der Flaschen, in den Getränkekasten einsetzbar sind.A known solution to provide consumers with small containers and to treat them in cheaper transport and storage units, is that the existing capacity of a beverage crate for receiving individual bottles, e.g. is divided into several containers in the form of bottle carriers, these bottle carriers, while preserving the total number of bottles, are used in the beverage crate.
In diesem Zusammenhang sind Flaschenträger bekannt, die aus Pappe bestehen (
Ein Flaschenträger aus Kunststoff, der diese Probleme zumindest teilweise vermeidet, ist beispielsweise aus der
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Flaschenträger der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der bei einfacher Handhabung sowohl für den Verbraucher als auch die Abfüll- und Vertriebskette einen gewichts- und materialsparenden einfachen Aufbau aufweist.The invention has for its object to provide a bottle carrier of the type mentioned, which has a simple and easy handling both for the consumer and the filling and distribution chain a weight and material-saving simple structure.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the features specified in
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Der erfindungsgemäße Flaschenträger kann in herkömmlichen Flaschen-oder anderen Getränkekästen ohne deren Abänderung verwendet werden, da er einen einschiebbaren Handgriff und Durchbrüche aufweist, in die Flaschen-Führungselemente der vorhandenen Flaschenkästen eintreten können. Die Abmessungen des Flaschenträgers sind so festgelegt, dass die über die Flaschen gemessenen äußeren Maße, in der Länge und in der Breite, nicht überschritten werden.The bottle carrier according to the invention can be used in conventional bottle or other beverage crates without their modification, since it has a retractable handle and openings, can enter into the bottle guide elements of the existing bottle crates. The dimensions of the bottle carrier are set so that the over the bottles measured external dimensions, in length and in width, are not exceeded.
Der Flaschenträger wird aus einem dauerhaften Material, vorzugsweise Kunststoff, hergestellt. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass außerhalb der Kästen die mit Flaschen besetzten Flaschenträger übereinander gesetzt oder auch im Verbund gestapelt werden können, wobei die Flaschenträger direkt auf die Flaschen aufgesetzt werden.The bottle carrier is made of a durable material, preferably plastic. Another advantage is that outside of the boxes, the bottle carrier occupied with bottles can be stacked or stacked in a composite, the bottle carrier are placed directly on the bottles.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Flaschenträgers können die diesen bildenden Elemente in ihren Abmessungen auf ein Minimum beschränkt werden, so dass sich ein sehr geringes Gewicht bei hoher Tragfähigkeit und langer Lebensdauer ergibt.Due to the inventive design of the bottle carrier, the elements forming these can be limited in their dimensions to a minimum, so that there is a very low weight with high load capacity and long life.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend an Beispielen beschrieben und in den Zeichnungen dargestellt.

In den Abfüllanlagen können die Bierkästen, mit oder ohne eingesetzte Flaschenträger 1, wie bisher mit Flaschen 25 bestückt werden. Um dieses zu möglich zu machen, muss der Traggriff 15 bis unterhalb der Ebene 27 abgesenkt sein, und es müssen die bereits genannten Aussparungen 23 am Bügel 16 angebracht sein, die den Saugglocken der Ladestationen, welche die Flaschen beim Einsetzen und auch beim Austragen greifen, genügenden Freiraum geben. Die Aussparungen 23 sind notwendig, damit die Flaschen 25 bei Einsetzen in ihre Kammer 28 nicht auf den Bügel 16 aufsetzen können oder abgelenkt werden. Die verbleibende Dicke d am Bügel 16 entspricht daher etwa der Dicke des Mittelstegs 7. Die mit Flaschen 25 besetzten Flaschenträger 1 sind auch separat stapelbar, hierzu wird, bei abgesenktem Traggriff 15 des unteren Flaschenträgers 1, ein weiterer Flaschenträger so auf den unteren aufgesetzt, dass die Stirnflächen der Senkungen 13 auf die Oberseite der Flaschen 25 abgestellt wird.
