Definitions

  • the invention relates to a deployable container of bottles or the like.
  • Container type containers receiving vertical bottles are known. These containers are often stackable for easy transport and storage of bottles.
  • document FR 2 725 423 discloses a rack comprising compartments or cells each capable of receiving a bottle. These cells generally have a triangular section with a strong apex. However, this bin results from the folding of a blank which leads to a generally cylindrical shape. If we try to deploy the blank, the cells are no longer formed and are no longer able to receive each bottle.
  • the invention relates to a container of a new type that can carry bottles or the like and can be deployed to form for example a bottle display.
  • a container of bottles or the like comprising a plurality of hollow cells each adapted to receive a bottle and having two converging external lateral faces and a bottom face with which the lateral faces define lateral edges, the cells being interconnected so that two adjacent cells are hinged together at the side edges, the container having:
  • each of the cells extend in continuity from one another, each of the cells forming a receptacle for a bottle.
  • the container can thus be placed in a folded state in which the lateral faces of the cells bear against one another to form an easily transportable cylindrical container, and an expanded state in which the cells extend side by side , to form a bottle display.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container according to a first embodiment of the invention, comprising 6 cells, and illustrated in the folded state;
  • FIG. 2 is a partial front view of the container of Figure 1, shown in the deployed state and placed on a shelf or table;
  • FIG. 3 is a view. in section along the line III-III of Figure 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the container of FIG. 1, illustrated in the deployed state, and suspended from hooks;
  • FIG. 5 is a front view of one of the cells of the container of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a container according to the first embodiment, comprising 5 cells;
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a container according to the first embodiment, comprising 4 cells;
  • FIG. 8 is a partial front view of a container according to a second particular embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the container of FIG. 8.
  • FIG. 10 is a partial sectional view of a wall of one of the cells of the container of Figure 8;
  • FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a container according to the invention with separable closure walls
  • FIG. 12 is a front view of the container of Figure 11 shown during folding for storage.
  • the container 50 here comprises six cells, here taking the form of cylindrical elements 1.
  • Cylindrical and in accordance with the usual geometric definition, means an object whose outer surface is generated by a parallel generatrices beam based on a given directional curve.
  • the cylindrical elements 1 have a cross section delimited by a directional curve in the general shape of an equilateral triangle.
  • the generatrices delimit on each cylindrical element 1 a bottom face 10 delimited by two lateral edges 11 extending at the intersection of the bottom face 10 with two convergent lateral faces 12 at an apex 13.
  • the cylindrical elements 1 have an orifice opening 2 to receive for example a bottle.
  • the apex 13 extending at one intersection of the two lateral faces 12 is here broken and shaped in an arc of a circle of a diameter substantially equal to that of the opening opening 2.
  • the bottom faces 10 of the cylindrical elements 1 are glued to a belt 3 to be adjacent to each other.
  • the belt 3 forms between two adjacent cylindrical elements 1 hinge means allowing a relative rotation of two adjacent cylindrical elements 1 along an axis of rotation parallel to the lateral edges 11 of the cylindrical elements 1.
  • the belt 3, here made of strong cardboard, comprises cut free ends to form handles 4.
  • the lateral faces 12 of two adjacent cylindrical members 1 bear against each other so that the cylindrical elements 1 together form a hexagonal cylinder, the belt 3 surrounding the assembly so that that the two handles 4 are superimposed.
  • the container 50 can thus be lifted by the handles 4 and easily transported. It can be seen that the rounded apices 13 together form a suitable through orifice for receiving an additional bottle, so that the container in the folded state can here carry seven bottles. It will be noted that the bottles are here transported horizontally.
  • the container 50 thus folded can be stacked with other containers of the same type to form a hexagonal honeycomb cell bottle storage space, which allows an optimal filling of the storage space thus created.
  • the container 50 can also be placed in an expanded state in which the belt 3 extends flat.
  • the belt 3 is placed on a flat support, for example a shelf.
  • the cylindrical elements 1 extend to next to the others, so that the container thus arranged forms a display for receiving bottles (shown in dotted lines) either in the receiving orifices 2, or in the hollow extending between two adjacent cylindrical elements 1, or placed on the The rounded apex 13 of the cylindrical elements 1.
  • the container can, in the deployed position, be suspended from a wall by the intermediary of hooks, so that it forms a. wall mounted bottle rack for storing 6 bottles in the through holes 2.
  • each cylindrical element 1 here comprises a bottom 6 closing the opening opening 2.
  • the cylindrical elements 1 are cut from a polyurethane profile, and the funds 6 also polyurethane foam are reported on each of the cylindrical elements 1, for example by gluing or welding.
  • Each bottom 6 has a centering portion 7 adapted to cooperate with the bottom of the wine bottles to stabilize them.
  • a removable cap 8 made of polyurethane foam closes the orifice opening.
  • the stopper 8 has an internal shape that matches the shape of the neck of a bottle of wine.
  • the polyurethane foam used advantageously forms a thermal insulator which allows for example to keep the bottles cool during their transport in the container.
  • Containers having fewer or more cylindrical elements can be produced on the same principle.
  • a container can be provided with eight cylindrical elements so that the container has a cylindrical shape of octagonal section.
  • the container 51 here comprises 5 cylindrical elements so that it takes a cylindrical shape of pentagonal section when in the folded position.
  • the container 52 here comprises 4 cylindrical elements so that it takes a cylindrical shape of square section when in the folded position.
  • cylindrical elements here have a substantially triangular section, it will be possible to use cylindrical elements having other sections.
  • cylindrical elements there may be cylindrical elements whose bottom wall is rounded so that the container in the folded position has a circular section.
  • hinge means between two adjacent cylindrical members here comprise a waistband portion
  • other hinge means may be used.
  • molded plastics cylindrical elements comprising, on one of the lateral edges, hinges, and on the other side edges, hinges, so that one can articulate the cylindrical elements the to each other.
  • each side wall 112 comprises a pocket 120, here transparent plastic, in which is inserted a rigid thin plate 121 made of strong cardboard. or plastic.
  • the side walls 112 also have side edges 111 which are welded to a belt 103 of flexible plastic material.
  • the belt portion 103 which extends between two lateral edges 112 forms a bottom wall 110 which, with the two corresponding side walls 112, defines a hollow triangular cell 101 adapted to receive a bottle.
  • Each cell 101 is articulated to the next at the side edge 111, the side walls 112 having outer side faces that come against each other when the container is in the folded position.
  • Figure 9 is illustrated a container 100 to five cells made according to this principle. Note that the side walls 112 are rigid, while the bottom walls 110 are flexible.
  • the belt 103 extends beyond the cells 101 to define two handles 104 at the end of which are defined gussets 123 for receiving stiffeners 124.
  • Pentagonal closure walls are provided on either side of the belt 103 for closing the container when in the folded position.
  • the closure walls 125 are provided with holding means 126 in the closed position, for example adhesive strips, or self-gripping strips.
  • the container made according to the second particular embodiment can be subject to many variants.
  • cloth may be used instead of plastic, the fabric itself being welded or stitched at the apex and at the lateral edges.
  • rigid plates directly connected to each other, for example by hinges.
  • the container 200 comprising hollow cells 201 similar to those of the container 100 of FIG. 9 is now modified so that the closure walls 225 are removable.
  • the closure walls 225 are attached to the container while the latter is in the folded state by means of tabs 226 provided with self-gripping means, such as those known under the trademark "VELCRO", and adapted to cooperate with pads 227. fixed on the belt 203 (only one closing wall 225 is shown here for clarity).
  • the container of FIG. 11, which here comprises six cells, can then, when it is empty, be brought back into a storage position, as illustrated in FIG. 12.
  • the rigid lateral walls 212 are folded in accordion, while the flexible belt 203 forming the bottom walls of the cells is deformed to take place between the side walls. The volume of the container is thus reduced to a minimum.
