Definitions
- the invention relates to a bottle crate for storage and transport of bottles, comprising a box bottom, box corners, between the box corners extending side walls and a plurality of compartments separated by compartments for receiving a bottle.
- Plastic containers or crates preferably for storing and transporting piece goods, in particular bottles, are well known from the prior art.
- a bottle crate for storage and transport of bottles, comprising a box bottom, box corners, between the box corners extending side walls and a plurality of compartments separated by compartments for receiving a bottle, wherein
- the box is formed at least in the side walls and the box corners made of foamed plastic, which also forms at least outer surface and inner surface or outside and inside of the side walls and box corners.
- An essential point of the invention is that due to the foamed material large wall thicknesses can be achieved with relatively little material and thus a high stability of the box is guaranteed.
- An advantage of the foamed material is that despite the shrinkage of the plastic material which is unavoidable upon cooling of the plastic melt, no sink marks occur because of the cavities present in the foamed material, since the foaming process, which already takes place during the injection molding process, counteracts the shrinkage of the plastic material , This eliminates the problem of shrinkage-related insults that leave a visually very unpleasant impression in particular.
- the invention is characterized by comparatively shorter cooling times, because within the material now cavities are present, thus therefore comparatively less plastic material must be cooled.
- the associated short cycle times thus allow a cost-effective production process.
- the achievable large wall thicknesses also make it possible to dispense with complicated tool structure, such as swords, central spar and Eckholmkonstrutationen or corresponding pillar constructions, because in particular the side walls without elaborate reinforcing measures, such. B.
- reinforcing ribs are sufficiently stable, wherein the ribbing can be reduced, in particular, depending on the required rigidity is reduced to only a few vertical and horizontal ribs, which may also be provided only on the inside of the side walls. That is, due to the comparatively thick walls and the associated stability, especially in the vertical direction can be dispensed with complex corner structures with bars and Eckholmen.
- the box may be formed of foamed plastic as a whole, but it is also expedient to form only the side walls and / or box corners of the foamed plastic.
- the foamed plastic is formed by injection molding of offset with a chemical blowing agent plastic.
- Chemical blowing agents are chemical compounds that convert under certain conditions.
- the resulting reaction products are then the required propellant gas. It is important that the gas is only used in the tool. So only when flowing into the tool, the plastic melt expands (affects the chemical blowing agent) and there are more or less large bubbles.
- the blowing agent reacts, for example, when the pressure conditions in the tool change, in particular after the injection during the expansion process in the mold, and develops, for example, carbon dioxide CO 2 in the plastic. This causes the foam.
- It is z. B. 1% blowing agent in the plastic, preferably a plastic granules added.
- the granules thus treated are then preferably prepared in an injection molding machine in the screw and injected via a nozzle into the mold, into a mold.
- Chemical blowing agents are introduced into the solid as blowing agent concentrate or with a masterbatch. At a temperature of 140 ° C to 200 ° C then forms the CO 2 .
- the rope walls have a thickness of 3 mm to 8 mm, preferably 4 mm or 5 mm
- the compartment walls may preferably have a thickness of 1, 3 mm to 4 mm, preferably from 1, 5 mm, 2 mm or 3 mm.
- the box corners can be provided in addition to the high stability nor reinforcing elements, z. B. reinforcing ribs, depending on the application of the bottle crate. Due to the foamed material, despite the large and stable wall thickness, the mass of the bottle crate according to the invention compared to known crates can be reduced. Weight savings of 10% to 20% over known boxes are achievable due to the lower density of the box material.
- the box preferably on at least one of its side walls, on the outside and / or inside, at least one contour, in particular the contour of a bottle, which is formed from the foamed plastic and integral with the side wall.
- the contour can z. B. on the outside of the side wall as a raised contour and / or may for example be provided on the inside of the side wall as a support surface or support surface for the stored object and that for the object, which is the support surface mounted opposite in the box. That is, the side wall is formed such that the objects can cling to at least one side wall, so that they are stored so that they are slip-proof in the box due to this support.
- a bottle would therefore be essentially free of play stored in the bottle crate. Rattling noises could be damped or even avoided.
- the relief-like structures or contours can also be attached to non-foamed material, so that with the structures hints can be given to the contents of the bottle crate.
- the contour is provided as a recess on the inside of a side wall, which corresponds to a curvature on the outside.
- the recess also corresponds to a curvature, which is directed to the outside.
- the contour is preferably provided as at least one form reproducing the contour opposite the contour of the box (bottle), preferably such that the object is at least partially receivable in the recess on the inside and thus supportable in the box. That means z. B. in the case of the bottle crate, the bottle would nestle on the inside of the side wall, which is formed with a recess formed as a bottle contour.
- the outside of the sidewall reflects this contour of the bottle shape.
- the inner contour can of course also be provided if it is not intended as an additional support measure.
- the design of the bottle crate is freely selectable here.
- the wall thickness of the side walls extends substantially uniformly around the box. If the side walls are formed with different thickness ranges, then nevertheless clean and clear outer surfaces without sink marks can be provided.
- the inner sides of the side walls may be formed as smooth surfaces (without a contour), while only the outer sides have a relief. Conversely, only the insides can be formed with a relief to this z. B. to use as a support surface, while the outer surfaces are formed as smooth, relief or contour-free surfaces.
- both outer and inner sides of a relief so the contour or pattern have, wherein the wall thickness is formed evenly or with different thickness ranges.
- the raised contour on the outside or the relief thus allow conclusions about the contents of the box, so that the contour serves as a means of identification.
- the side walls can be designed as varied and can be completely formed from the foamed plastic or only the raised relief is provided from this material.
- any type of marking or marking on the box is possible because, as already described above, not necessarily equal running wall thicknesses must be formed.
- the cross-sectional profiles are so completely independently malleable or formable.
- the foaming thus allows smooth outer walls, sides.
- a raised side wall training with plastic molding is possible, so that you can see from the outside, so to speak, the contour of the recorded bottles in the box.
- the lightweight and stable material of the bottle crate according to the invention allows an ergonomic design of the box in a simple manner. So z. B. the carrying handles are made very comfortable because the areas that are in the hand of a user in Be come in touch, are thicker. An additional ergonomic design is easily accessible.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a bottle crate according to the invention in a preferred embodiment

- FIG. 7 shows a section along the line VII - VII from FIG. 5;
- FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the bottle crate
- FIG. 9 is a perspective view of another bottle crate.
- FIG. 1 and 2 each show side views of a bottle crate 1 according to the invention.
- a longitudinal side 14 (FIG. 1) and a broad side 16 (FIG. 2) with a carrying handle 10 are shown.
- the bottle crate 1 comprises a box bottom 1 1, box corners 13, sidewalls 14, 15, 16, 17 extending between the box corners 13 (15 and 17 not visible) and a plurality of compartments 21 separated by compartment walls 20 (see eg Fig. 3 ) for picking up an object, here a bottle.
- the box 1 is made of foamed material, here z. B. foamed plastic, in particular, the side walls 14, 15, 16, 17 are foamed to produce a large and stable wall thickness D.
- the wall thickness D is here z. 4 mm to 5 mm (see Fig. 7).
- the box 1 has bottle contours 30, which are formed as bulges, so as raised structures or contours and reflect the bottle shape.
- the side walls 14, 15, 16, 17 are open except for the carrying handle 10, wherein the bottle reliefs 30 are provided integrally with the side walls 14, 15, 16, 17, so also consist of the foamed material. Of course, it is also possible to provide further openings in the walls.
- the reliefs can be designed as desired and reproduce any contour.
- the convexities (raised contours) of the outer side described above on the inner side 19 of the respective side wall are formed as recesses 31, so that the wall thickness D of the side walls 14, 15, 16, 17 is substantially uniform.
- the box bottom 1 1 has foot elements 12 on soft the box 1 comes to rest in use.
- FIG. 3 shows a top view of the bottle crate 1 just described according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the compartment walls 20 truss
- the compartments 21 and the floor rich 1 1 to recognize.
- the bottom portion 1 1 has openings
- the bottle z. B. is seated on the opening boundaries as soon as it is placed in the box 1.
- FIG. 4 shows a bottom view (top view of the floor) of the bottle crate 1 according to FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 with the individual foot elements 12.
- the compartment walls 20 and the bottom portion 1 1 are also formed from the plastic, which is provided for the side walls 14, 15, 16, 17.
- the individual areas of the framework are formed of thinner walls, with a thickness d of about 1.5 mm to 3 mm (in contrast to the side walls, see Fig. 7). This is completely sufficient for the stability of the box 1.
- the plastic is preferably not foamed here in order to achieve the thinner walls and thus to obtain a space-saving construction inside the bottle crate 1. It is of course possible, the inner life, so the framework (and thus the complete box) made of foamed material. Characterized in that the compartment walls are formed with a correspondingly small thickness, for this purpose the mold cavities are correspondingly narrow, the foaming of the injected plastic is suppressed there.
- Fig. 5 shows a section along the line V - V of Fig. 3, wherein the interior view (inside 19) of a side wall is shown.
- stiffening ribs 40 can be clearly seen, which extend over the entire side walls 14, 15, 16, 17.
- the ribs 40 are additionally introduced to increase the stability of the box 1.
- the surfaces 31 indicate a recess on the outside 18 of the side wall z. B. as a curvature or relief (raised contour) is present. At these surfaces 31, which may be formed as support surfaces for the stored bottles, the bottles nestle against and are thus additionally supported.
- the inner side 19 of the side wall thus essentially reproduces the contour of the stored objects. For this purpose, any form is possible that ensures additional support of the object.
- the inner side can also be formed without support surfaces and only have the stiffening or reinforcing ribs 40.
- a storage of the objects only on the subjects is also possible.
- the side walls 14, 15, 16, 17 of the bottle crate 1 are formed of foamed plastic, they can be provided in any form. In this material material accumulations (for example, adjacent walls) and cooling times play no role, so that the wall thicknesses D do not have to run smoothly. Also, it comes only to a very low shrinkage of material, which causes unwanted sink marks in known boxes due to accumulation of material and prolonged cooling time relative to surrounding areas. These sink marks are avoided by the shrinkage opposite foaming. If the inner sides 19 have no support surfaces or recesses 31, then the outer sides 18 of the side walls 14, 15, 16, 17 can still be embossed in a desired pattern, since a uniform wall thickness profile is not absolutely necessary.
- Fig. 6 shows a detail of Fig. 5 in an enlarged view. Shown is the area of the handle, as this z. B. may be formed. Here it is clearly visible that the foamed area allows an ergonomically comfortable and stable construction (here smooth contour), so that a comfortable grip area can be formed or formed in a simple manner.
- FIG. 7 is a section along the line VII - VII of FIG. 5 is shown. Visible again are the floor area 11 and the compartment walls 20 (ie the entire truss). The side walls 14, 15, 16, 17 are shown in section. One recognizes their arched structure or the relief, which is visible on the outer sides of the side walls. The accumulation of material in the region of abkragender ribs 40 is not a problem, as sink marks on the outer sides 18 of the side walls 14, 15, 16, 17 do not arise.
- the box corners 13 are formed like an eye, which leads to an additional stability of the box 1. Elaborate corner constructions, as provided in known boxes are not necessary because of the foamed material here.
- Fig. 8 shows a bottle crate according to the invention in perspective view from above. From this is quite clear the ribbing 40 with stacked horizontal ribs and a few vertical ribs visible. The horizontal ribs can at the same time contribute to the support of the bottles accommodated in the bottle crate. As is further apparent from Fig. 8, the ribs are kept comparatively thin. Also, the raised bottle areas on the outer surface of the box side walls are clearly visible.
- Fig. 9 shows another bottle crate in a perspective view.
- This box is a so-called quill box and may also be made of foamed plastic, partially (eg only side walls and box corners) or completely.
- the bottle case according to the invention has at least areas, in particular the side walls and the box corners, which are formed of foamed plastic. These walls are extremely stable (large wall thicknesses) and are easy to produce.
- the foamed material reduces the mass of the box compared to conventional containers.
- the framework is indeed made of the same plastic, but not foamed. If desired, however, all the structures of the box can be made of the foamed plastic, so z. B. also the compartment walls and / or the floor area. As a result of the omission of the incidence is easily a transition of the cross section of the walls from thick to thin possible,
