Definitions

  • the present invention relates to boxes for the transport of goods, which make it possible to present the goods transported in the box to a consumer and to facilitate his access to the goods in the box.
  • a large number of products are transported in boxes opened at the top.
  • box shapes are known in the beverage industry for transporting beverage bottles or smaller containers of beverage bottles (for example, so-called "six-packs") from production to retail, whereas in retail the boxes are usually stacked so that access can only be from above and therefore, products that can only be accessed in a box that is in a lower position in the stack when all the boxes above are removed, which is extremely uncomfortable, time consuming and laborious only for the transport of goods of a certain kind, eg bottles, so that other boxes have to be used for the transport of other goods.
  • a box has a bottom and at least two pairs of opposing sidewalls, a first of the sidewalls configured to allow removal from the products contained in the box.
  • the first side wall extends at least partially from the bottom in the vertical direction only by a smaller removal height, which is smaller than the height of one or more of the remaining side walls.
  • the extraction height is determined so that from the first side wall a lateral opening is defined with a dimension that allows access or removal of products contained in the box through the side opening.
  • embodiments of the invention provide a box of the above-mentioned embodiment, further comprising a blocking element extending between the two opposing side walls adjoining the first side wall, and which is movable between a first position and a second position, wherein the blocking element is arranged in the first position between the opposite side walls and spaced from the first side wall, wherein the blocking element is arranged in the second position with the first side wall overlapping.
  • the locking member comprises a bracket extending between the opposed side walls and two struts disposed at the opposite ends of the bracket, a first end of the struts being disposed at the opposite ends of the bracket, and a second end of the struts being rotatable is arranged on the corresponding side wall.
  • the opposed sidewalls and the first sidewall may include recesses for receiving the stirrup and the struts, wherein the recesses may be such that the struts and the stirrup in the first and second positions of the detent member, respectively, have a surface of the opposed sidewall facing the first sidewall Side walls or with an outer surface of a side wall are flush.
  • a locking member may be provided which cooperates with the locking member to securely hold the locking member in the first and second positions, respectively.
  • the struts and / or the bracket of the locking element may be formed to engage with portions of the opposite side walls and the first side wall, according to embodiments, the struts and / or the bracket for this purpose, one or more locking elements to cooperate with corresponding latching element receiving portions of the side walls.
  • the blocking element may be disposed at the second position at a distance from the ground that corresponds to about one third, one half or two thirds of the height of the opposite side walls.
  • the blocking element can be designed to be additionally arranged at a further position spaced from the first side wall, in which case the struts can be telescopically designed to selectively arrange the blocking element at the second or at the further position.
  • the box further comprises an insert for placing on the bottom of the box, the insert being designed depending on the products to be accommodated in the box.
  • the insert may be detachably connectable to the floor and / or the side surfaces, preferably only using special tools.
  • the insert may be plate-shaped, and a bottom-facing first surface of the insert may be conformed to a structure of the floor.
  • the first surface opposite surface of the plate-shaped insert is structured according to the male product.
  • the insert may include sleeves, longitudinal struts, cross struts and / or depressions.
  • Embodiments further provide a system comprising a box according to embodiments of the invention and a plurality of inserts structured for different products, wherein one of the inserts can be optionally placed in the box.
  • a freely configurable system which can be readily adapted to various products to be contained in the box, for example by a service provider who provides the boxes according to the configuration desired by a customer and holds the appropriate inserts, and the crates assembled without inserts accordingly, in which case it is provided that the inserts are exchangeable only using a special tool, which has only the box manufacturer in his possession.
  • the box will be bounded vertically upwards by the first side wall area extending from the floor (which may also be the entire side wall) of lower removal height. That is, above this first side wall area there is no further frictional connection between the adjacent side walls.
  • the first side wall is at least partially less high than the surrounding or as some of the surrounding side walls, so that in the box can also be intervened laterally so as to easily gain access to the products in the boxes even when stacked are located in lower boxes of the stack.
  • the height of the first side wall in some embodiments is nevertheless such that the specific products transported in the box can not fall out of the box during transport.
  • the box is designed to carry bottles or bottles pre-packaged in smaller containers, for which reason the first side wall has a height sufficient to prevent individual bottles from falling out of the box.
  • the height is between 1 and 10cm. In some other embodiments, this height is between 2 and 5 cm, or more generally more than 2 cm.
  • the first sidewall has two sidewall portions at each of its edges adjacent the adjacent sidewalls which extend to the level of the adjacent sidewalls to increase the stability of the crate.
  • the box has four side walls, handle openings being arranged at least in the side walls adjoining the first side wall.
  • the grip openings have a region running parallel to the floor as well as a region running perpendicular to the floor.
  • the area running perpendicular to the floor is arranged in the direction of the first side wall.

  • the box also has in the adjacent to the first side wall floor area a larger support surface for the products to be transported, as an average in the remaining area of the floor.
  • a larger support surface for the products to be transported as an average in the remaining area of the floor.
  • the sidewalls adjacent the first sidewall are less high at the end face adjacent to the first sidewall than at the face opposite the sidewall. That is, in the direction of the opening, the side walls adjoining the opening are lower, so that on the one hand the space available for removal is increased and, on the other hand, the light incidence or the viewing angle in the interior of the box is increased to make the items transported in the box, such as bottles or the like, more visible.
  • the remaining side walls which do not correspond to the first side wall, are hinged relative to the floor, so that the box in a folded state can be brought, in which the rest of the side walls approximately parallel to the ground resting on this or are located above the ground. This allows the crate to be transported cheaper and more efficiently in the deflated state.
  • Some embodiments have an additional movable sidewall area that extends above the first sidewall in the vertical direction and that may be either detached or folded down. This can have the advantage that in the unfolded state of the movable side wall area additionally increases the stability or security, so that no goods or products can fall out of the box. Further, in the folded or unfolded state, the movable side wall portion can be used to present product information or the like.

  • the sleeves in the vertical direction on only a small amount, so that they can also be referred to as Quill stumps.
  • the height and the outer shape of some quills is chosen so that they prevent in conjunction with the first side wall falling out of the bottles through the side opening. In order to still ensure removal, in some embodiments, the sleeves are not higher at their highest point than the first side wall.
  • the outer boundary surfaces of the sleeves have a varying height to best match this to the tasks set.
  • the sleeves In order to allow the bottles to tilt out in the direction of the first side wall and nevertheless to ensure good stability, the sleeves have a lower height in a direction parallel to the side wall than in the direction of the first side wall, so that tilting parallel to the first side wall is allowed, whereas tilting a direction perpendicular thereto is made difficult and the bottles are securely held.
