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.
- some embodiments of the present invention have a bottom and at least two pairs of opposing side walls, wherein a first of the side walls is configured to permit removal from the products contained in the case.
- 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 Ausftihrungsbeizig the struts and / or the bracket for this one or more locking elements have 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.
- embodiments of the invention provide a box of the above type, further comprising 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, wherein grip openings are 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 region extending perpendicular to the bottom is arranged in the direction of the first side wall.
- the first, horizontal and substantially parallel to the bottom opening portion in the vertical opening portion with a radius that is large enough to grip the box in the radius can go over.
- 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 movable side wall portion is formed lattice-shaped or formed from a plurality of webs, so that the box can be cleaned with high-pressure radiation without separating the movable side wall portion of the box or unintentionally release this from the box by the high pressure ,
- the remaining sidewalls are laminated on the inside thereof with a foil that contains product information that can be readily viewed from the outside.
- a light film is provided, so that the objects or bottles transported in the box can be better visually perceived by the light reflection.
- the remaining three side walls which do not correspond to the lower wall, are the same height so that the boxes are stackable with the bottom of a box coming to rest on the remaining three side walls of the underlying box.
- special recesses or contours may be provided both in the bottom and in the upper ends of the remaining side walls, in which engage the corresponding recesses or contours of the floor or the other side walls so as to allow the stackability and a to ensure a secure footing.
- the bottom has a plurality of quills extending upwardly from the bottom in the vertical direction.
- Quills are three-dimensional objects that are on the ground are and which are shaped so that the bottles are held or fixed by the outer boundary surfaces of the quills, so that falling out of the bottles is effectively prevented.
- 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.
- Fig. 1 shows an inventive embodiment of a box 10 for drinks.
- the bottom 12 is not continuous in the illustrated embodiment, but consists of a grid-like structure.
- the bottom 12 is formed by a plurality of webs or struts. These are arranged close enough so that the goods to be transported, so for example a bottle, can not fall through the bottom of the box or tilts uncontrollably when the edge of a bottle tilts into one of the cavities between the webs.
- the box further comprises two pairs of respective opposite side walls 14a, 14b and 16a, 16b which extend upwardly from the bottom 12, ie in the vertical direction 18.
- the removal height 20 is less than the height of the remaining side walls 14a, 14b and 16a, so that a lateral opening is formed which allows access to or removal of contained and transported in the box bottles or products through the side opening.
- Above the first side wall 16b there is no further structure of the box.
- a plurality of sleeves are arranged, of which the sleeve 22a and the sleeve 22b are highlighted by way of example.
- the lateral opening for removal of the products is thus produced in that the first side wall 16b has a lower height than the adjacent or the remaining side walls. Height should be understood here, as in the following figures, the dimension in the positive vertical direction 18.
- the term “top” denotes a position in the positive vertical direction 18, the term “bottom” a position having a smaller coordinate in the vertical direction 18.
- sides are to be understood any directions that limit the box in the directions parallel to the surface of the bottom 12.
- a lateral opening is defined or formed, which allows access to the removal of transported in the box bottles.
- other products may be transported in the box.
- So-called “six-packs” can also be transported, ie pre-packed containers of six bottles.
- the side wall is not in its entire length, the low removal height 20, but extending from the adjacent side walls 14a and 14b fixed side wall sections in the lateral opening, the lateral opening still remains so large that a Removal of the products or bottles is guaranteed.
- Such boxes can have increased stability.
- a box 10 further comprises a movable side wall portion 23 which is rotatably supported relative to a fixed first side wall 16b via hinges 24a to 24c.
- the movable side wall portion 23 is in Fig. 1 shown in a folded-down position, where this is folded down with respect to the first side wall 16b.
- the movable sidewall region 23 extends upwardly in the vertical direction 18.
- the security can be additionally increased to the extent that located in the box 10 bottles do not tilt outward.
- the movable part can be used to present product information or the like.
- the side walls 14a and 14b adjacent to the first side wall 16b each have a handle opening 28a and 28b on which the box can be lifted and carried.
- the handle openings both a first, parallel to the bottom view extending opening portion and a second, extending substantially in the vertical direction opening area, whose function is described below with reference to Fig. 3 will be explained in more detail.
- the side walls 14a and 14b adjacent to the first side wall 16b have beveled edge portions 30a and 30b at their end facing the first side wall, through which light may fall into the cases even when they are stacked.
- the ends of the side walls 14a and 14b adjoining the first side wall 16b have a smaller height than at their opposite end.
- the recessed part of the side wall is substantially triangular, any other shapes of the recess can also be used for alternative embodiments.
- the height increases from the first side wall 16b side walls 14a and 14b continuously up to the maximum height.
- the increase in height may also be staircase or stepwise.
- the contours of the upper ends of the side walls 14a, 14b and 16a are designed such that when stacking with the contour or the structure of the bottom of another box engages (see, for example Fig. 3 ), so that the boxes can be stacked on top of each other. Nevertheless, the side opening defined by the first side wall 16b allows bottles or bottle packs, such as six-packs, to be taken out of the interior of the box, even when stacked.
- the inwardly facing surfaces of the sidewalls 14a, 14b and 16a are of light color so that the light incidence caused by the apertures 30a and 30b makes the bottles within the box readily visible to the outside observer ,
- the surfaces are covered with product references or advertisements.
- the embodiment of the invention shown further comprises at least one of the side walls (in the case of the side wall 14b shown here) a plurality of vertically extending, from a side surface inwardly protruding ridges 32a to 32d, which prevent the bottles inside the box of the quills be held, come with their entire side surface with the side wall in contact and pollute them over a large area.
- the webs 32a to 32d are each arranged so that the bottles abut with their outermost radius at the positions of the webs 32a to 32d on the outer wall.
- Fig.2 shows the embodiment of the box 10 of Fig. 1 in the condition filled with 3 six-packs.
- the six-packs 40a, 40b and 40c each contain six individual bottles not shown here for reasons of clarity.
- the six-packs are in addition to the sleeves, which engage from below in the open for this purpose bottom six-pack, held by the webs 40a and 40b, which, as in Fig. 1 represented, are arranged on the bottom 12 of the box 10.
- Fig. 3 which shows two boxes 10 and 10a in the stacked state
- the products or bottles can also be removed from the lower box 10 in the stacked state.
- the six-packs 40a, 40b and 40c if they are transported or presented as an alternative to individual bottles in the boxes.
- the in Fig. 1 illustrated special embodiment of a box with respect to the bottles to be transported on a high flexibility, since on the one hand six packs and on the other individual bottles can be transported with the box.
- the sleeve arrangement can be chosen differently.
- both embodiments are possible, since each individual bottle, which is inserted in one of the free spaces between sleeves and / or webs, in each of four directions either through a side wall of a web, through a quill or one of the side walls 14a, 14b, 16a or 16b of the box is supported so that it is stably supported for transport.
- Fig. 3 As can be seen, it is due to the stackability of the boxes and the possibility of lateral removal, which is created by the first side wall 16 b, now possible to offer different products for sale in a column of stacked boxes.
- the side wall 16b prevents it in interaction with the sleeves, that during transport, the bottles can tip out of the box 10, so the side wall 16b is dimensioned so that it prevents a tilting out of the box during transport. It still remains low enough that the bottles can be removed from the front of the box, even if there is another box 10a on the box 10.
- the bottles are first lifted slightly and then tilted out to the front. This is made possible in some embodiments by a special embodiment of the sleeves, as described below with reference to Fig. 12 will be described in more detail.
- Fig. 3 clearly shows another property of some embodiments of the present invention, namely the particular configuration of the handle openings 28a and 28b.
- the handle opening is curved and extends both horizontally and vertically.
- the handle opening 28a has a first opening area 50a extending parallel to the floor 12 and a second opening area 50b extending substantially in the vertical direction 18.
- the demarcation between vertical and horizontal opening area is in Fig. 3 merely as an example.
- the handle opening 28a thus also extends with a significant extension in the vertical direction, so that the handle opening 28a can also be used in the vertical opening area by a person.
- handle opening 28a may be shaped differently than in FIG Fig. 3 pointed embodiment. For example, this may also have a square or rectangular cross-section, so that the box can be lifted both from above by means of the horizontal opening portion 50a and from the side by means of the vertical opening portion 50b.
- the vertical opening area is located on the side which is assigned to the first side wall 16b, and extends at the outer contour (that is, at the contour pointing in the direction of the first side wall) with a large radius into the horizontal. Opening area 50a over.
- the box when the box is lifted, it can also be gripped in the radius, so that when the vertical opening area is on the side associated with the first side wall 16b, the box tilts backwards (in the direction of the side wall 16a) that falling out of the individual bottles is additionally prevented by the inclination of the box when carrying.
- FIG. Fig. 4 A perspective view from below of the box of Fig. 1 shows and based on Fig. 11 . which shows a view from below of a further embodiment of the invention, illustrated by a special design of the bottom 12 in the adjacent to the first side wall 16b area 50 additionally increases the security.
- the floor 12 is not formed over the entire surface, but formed to save weight and for easier cleaning by an arrangement of ribs. These cover the surface of the bottom 12 so that the individual bottles rest securely on the floor 12 with their bottom of the bottle.
- the number or surface density of the ribs is increased compared with the remaining region, so that the bottles located there do not tilt outwards by themselves can, if they are tilted by external influences from its rest position slightly toward the first side wall 16b. This is avoided by placing the ribs in the region 50 adjacent the first sidewall 16b so close that the edge of a bottle can not tilt between the void spaces between two adjacent ribs.
- the floor 12 has a support surface for the bottles that is larger than the support surface provided on average over the floor per unit area, to allow secure retention of the bottles.
- the bottom 12 at the adjacent to the side walls 14a, 14b and 16a region an increase of a plurality of ribs whose contour is formed so that when placed on another box in the interior of the side walls in the contour of the side walls of the other Box intervenes to ensure stackability and a secure footing when stacked.
- a strut 52 which extends from the side wall 16a to the first side wall 16b and the webs in the vertical direction have a greater extent than the other webs of the soil.
- This strut 52 serves to additionally support the first side wall 16b of lesser height in order to increase the stability of the box.
- the strut 52 is centrally located so that the strut, which extends farther down than the rest of the ground, does not interfere with the removal of the bottles from the lower box when stacked.
- Fig. 5 shows a further embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the embodiments discussed with reference to the preceding figures essentially in that with the in Fig. 5 shown embodiment, other bottle sizes can be transported. While that in Fig. 1 shown embodiment is adapted to bottles with the content 0,5l, that is in Fig. 5 shown embodiment of a box adapted to bottles with content of 0.33 l. Therefore, the embodiment differs from Fig. 5 essentially in the arrangement of the sleeves of the embodiment of Fig. 1 and in the thickness of the side walls 14a, 14b and 16a, which has been altered to hold the bottles located inside the box with the same outer volume of the box. For example, the in Fig.
- the box shown has five sleeves 54a, 54b, 54c, 54d and 54e adjacent to the first side wall 16b to hold a total of six bottles of 0.33 liters in the first row. Furthermore, the box of Fig. 5 only a continuous web 56 in the middle of the box, so that alternatively four six-packs can be transported with the box.
- FIG Fig. 5 unlike the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 4 the box with upwardly folded movable side wall portion 23 on the first side wall 16b.
- the design features of the box of Fig. 5 those of Fig. 1 correspond and each have identical functionality is based on a re-discussion of the box with Fig. 1 omitted matching components.
- the in Fig. 5 shown box as well as the in Fig. 1 shown box on the side wall 16 a, which is opposite to the first side wall 16 b, at least one opening 58 which extends through the side wall 16 a, so that the box by means of the opening on a wall or a shelf or the like can be hung or hung.
- Fig. 6 This in Fig. 6 embodiment shown is also configured for the transport of 24 pieces of bottles, each with 0.33 l content and corresponds in many parts to the in Fig. 5 shown embodiment.
- Fig. 8 shows all the side walls 14a, 14b and 16a in the folded state, so that in the folded state, the box can be easily transported back to the brewery or a bottler, without consuming a lot of storage space. This can significantly reduce transport costs.
- FIGS. 6 to 8 the hinged side walls 14a, 14b and 16a are shown only for a box configured to carry 24 bottles of 0.33 liters, it goes without saying that the in Fig. 1 shown box for 0.5 l bottles with hinged side walls can be equipped.
- the features which are described or shown with reference to the individual exemplary embodiments can be combined with one another as desired in order to arrive at alternative further exemplary embodiments of boxes according to the invention.
- Fig. 9 illustrates the embodiment of Fig. 5 when loaded, there are 24 bottles in the box.
- the movable side wall portion 23 is in the unfolded position so as to additionally secure the bottles of the foremost row or to affix product labels for transport on the outside of the flexible member 23 which are not relevant to the presentation of the product.
- Fig. 10 shows the embodiment of Fig. 5 with an alternative form of loading, namely with four six-packs 70a, 70b, 70c and 70d.
- Fig. 11 Finally, a plan view of the embodiment of Fig. 5 4, it can be seen that the quill 54c has a different geometric shape than the quills 54a, 54b and 54d or 54e, to allow the setting of six-packs.
- the central sleeve 54c may, of course, have the same shape as the remaining sleeves, such as sleeve 54a.
- any other quills may have the shape of the sleeve 54c.
- Fig. 12 shows an enlarged view of the sleeves 54a to 54c, so that their special shape is visible, which allows in conjunction with the first side wall 16b to keep the bottles both safe and forward removable.
- some embodiments of sleeves have an outer surface whose height in the vertical direction 18 is not constant.
- the outer boundary surface of the sleeve 54a is to be understood below as the created surface 70, that is to say the surface or those Surface elements that limit the quill laterally, ie in all directions orthogonal to the vertical direction 18.
- the outer boundary surface 70 has a varying height, as already described above.
- the quill is less high in a first side surface area 75 that is parallel to the first side wall 16b and secures a bottle backwards (in the direction 72 away from the first side wall 16b) than in a second side surface area 76 that holds the bottle prevents tilting in a direction 74 parallel to the first side wall 16b.
- quill 54a which has a substantially diamond-shaped cross-section, which has a tip in the direction of the first side wall 16b, the function of preventing the tilting backwards so a first boundary surface area 75 is met, the quill substantially in the direction parallel to first side wall 16b completes.
- the first side surface area 75 is lower than the second side surface area 76 in order to allow for tilting the bottles forward tilting without having to raise the bottle so far that it may already abut the bottom of another box that is stacked on the considered box is.
- the second boundary area 76 prevents tilting in the direction parallel to the first side wall 16b and can therefore be higher to increase the stability.
- both the sleeves 54a and 54b and the sleeve 54c provide maximum stability while allowing for tipping out forward, in that the sleeves have a lower height in the direction parallel to the side wall than in the direction perpendicular to the side wall.
- the quills are in Fig. 12 provided with outer boundary surfaces which are concavely inwardly arched between the tips of the substantially diamond-shaped basic shape, wherein the radius of the curvature substantially corresponds to the diameter of a bottle to hold the bottle still safe can.
- FIG. 13 shows a box that is essentially the box Fig. 1 so that a re-description of the various already based on the FIG. 1 described elements no longer occurs.
- the box comprises according to Fig. 13 (a) a locking member 100 having a bracket 102 that includes two opposite ends.
- a first strut 104 is arranged, and at a second end 102b of the bracket 102, a second strut 106 is arranged.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung befasst sich mit Kisten zum Transport von Waren, die es ermöglichen, die in der Kiste transportierten Waren einem Verbraucher zu präsentieren und diesem den Zugriff auf die Waren in der Kiste zu erleichtern.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.
Eine Vielzahl von Produkten wird in nach oben geöffneten Kisten transportiert. Beispielsweise sind eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Kistenformen in der Getränkeindustrie bekannt, um Getränkeflaschen oder kleinere Gebinde von Getränkeflaschen (beispielsweise sogenannte "Sixpacks" von der Produktion zum Einzelhandel zu transportieren. Im Einzelhandel werden die Kisten üblicherweise gestapelt, so dass ein Zugriff nur von oben erfolgen kann und daher auf Produkte, die sich in einer Kiste, die sich in einer unteren Position im Stapel befindet, nur zugegriffen werden kann, wenn sämtliche darüber liegenden Kisten entfernt werden. Dies ist äußerst unkomfortabel, kraft- und zeitaufwändig. Ferner sind solche Kisten im Regelfall nur für den Transport von Gütern einer bestimmten Art, z.B. Flaschen, bestimmt, so dass für den Transport anderer Güter andere Kisten eingesetzt werden müssen.A large number of products are transported in boxes opened at the top. For example, a variety of different 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.
Es wäre somit von Vorteil, Kisten zur Verfügung zu stellen, die es ermöglichen, auf Produkte, die in der Kiste transportiert werden, effizienter und einfacher zugreifen zu können.It would therefore be advantageous to provide boxes that allow products accessed in the box to be accessed more efficiently and easily.
Einige Ausführungsbeispiele der vorliegenden Erfindung weisen daher einen Boden und zumindest zwei Paare von sich jeweils gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden auf, wobei eine erste der Seitenwände so gestaltet ist, dass diese eine Entnahme von der in der Kiste enthaltenen Produkten ermöglicht. Dazu erstreckt sich die erste Seitenwand von dem Boden in der vertikalen Richtung zumindest teilweise nur um eine geringere Entnahmehöhe nach oben, welche kleiner ist, als die Höhe einer oder mehrerer der übrigen Seitenwände. Die Entnahmehöhe ist so bestimmt, dass von der ersten Seitenwand eine seitliche Öffnung mit einer Abmessung definiert wird, die einen Zugriff bzw. die Entnahme von in der Kiste enthaltenen Produkten durch die seitliche Öffnung ermöglicht.Thus, some embodiments of the present invention have a bottom and at least two pairs of opposing side walls, wherein a first of the side walls is configured to permit removal from the products contained in the case. For this purpose, 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.
Gemäß einem ersten Aspekt schaffen Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung eine Kiste der oben genannten Ausgestaltung, die ferner ein Sperrelement umfasst, das sich zwischen den zwei gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden erstreckt, die an die erste Seitenwand angrenzen, und das zwischen einer ersten Position und einer zweiten Position bewegbar ist, wobei das Sperrelement in der ersten Position zwischen den gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden und beabstandet von der ersten Seitenwand angeordnet ist, wobei das Sperrelement in der zweiten Position mit der ersten Seitenwand überlappend angeordnet ist.According to a first aspect, 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.
Das Sperrelement umfasst gemäß Ausführungsbeispielen einen Bügel, der sich zwischen den gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden erstreckt, und zwei an den entgegengesetzten Enden des Bügels angeordnete Streben, wobei ein erstes Ende der Streben an den entgegengesetzten Enden des Bügels angeordnet ist, und wobei ein zweites Ende der Streben drehbeweglich an der entsprechenden Seitenwand angeordnet ist. Die entgegengesetzten Seitenwände und die erste Seitenwand können Ausnehmungen umfassen, um den Bügel und die Streben aufzunehmen, wobei die Ausnehmungen derart sein können, dass die Streben und der Bügel in der ersten bzw. zweiten Position des Sperrelements mit einer der ersten Seitenwand zugewandten Oberfläche der gegenüberliegenden Seitenwände bzw. mit einer äußeren Oberfläche der einen Seitenwand bündig sind. Ferner kann ein Verriegelungselement vorgesehen sein, das mit dem Sperrelement zusammenwirkt, um das Sperrelement sicher in der ersten bzw. zweiten Position zu halten. Zur Bildung des Verriegelungselements können die Streben und/oder der Bügel des Sperrelements ausgebildet sein, um mit Abschnitten der entgegengesetzten Seitenwände bzw. der ersten Seitenwand Eingriff zu nehmen, wobei gemäß Ausftihrungsbeispielen die Streben und/oder der Bügel hierfür ein oder mehrere Rastelemente aufweisen, um mit entsprechenden Rastelementaufnahmeabschnitten der Seitenwände zusammenzuwirken. Das Sperrelement kann an der zweiten Position mit einem Abstand von dem Boden angeordnet sein, der etwa einem Drittel, einer Hälfte oder zwei Drittel der Höhe der entgegengesetzten Seitenwände entspricht. Ferner kann das Sperrelement ausgebildet sein, um zusätzlich an einer weiteren Position beabstandet von der ersten Seitenwand angeordnet zu werden, wobei in diesem Fall die Streben teleskopartig ausgebildet sein können, um das Sperrelement wahlweise an der zweiten oder an der weiteren Position anzuordnen.The locking member according to embodiments 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. Further, 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. To form the locking element, 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 Ausftihrungsbeispielen the struts and / or the bracket for this one or more locking elements have 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. Furthermore, 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.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt schaffen Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung eine Kiste der oben genannten Art, die ferner einen Einsatz zum Anordnen auf dem Boden der Kiste umfasst, wobei der Einsatz abhängig von den in der Kiste aufzunehmenden Produkten ausgestaltet ist.According to a further aspect, embodiments of the invention provide a box of the above type, further comprising an insert for placing on the bottom of the box, the insert being designed depending on the products to be accommodated in the box.
Gemäß Ausführungsbeispielen kann der Einsatz mit dem Boden und/oder den Seitenflächen lösbar verbindbar sein, vorzugsweise nur unter Verwendung von Spezialwerkzeug. Der Einsatz kann plattenförmig sein, und eine dem Boden zugewandte erste Oberfläche des Einsatzes kann an eine Struktur des Bodens angepasst sein. Die der ersten Oberfläche gegenüberliegende Oberfläche des plattenförmigen Einsatzes ist entsprechend dem aufzunehmenden Produkt strukturiert. Der Einsatz kann Pinolen, Längsstreben, Querstreben und/oder Vertiefungen umfassen. Ausführungsbeispiele schaffen ferner ein System, das eine Kiste gemäß Ausführungsbeispielen der Erfindung sowie eine Mehrzahl von Einsätzen umfasst, die für verschiedene Produkte strukturiert sind, wobei einer der Einsätze wahlweise in der Kiste angeordnet werden kann.According to embodiments, 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.
Gemäß diesem Aspekt wird somit ein frei konfektionierbares System geschaffen, welches ohne Weiteres an verschiedene, in der Kiste aufzunehmende Produkte angepasst werden kann, beispielsweise durch einen Dienstleister, der die Kisten entsprechend der von einem Kunden erwünschten Konfiguration bereitstellt, und die entsprechenden Einsätze vorhält, und die Kisten ohne Einsätze entsprechend konfektioniert, wobei in diesem Fall vorgesehen ist, dass die Einsätze nur unter Verwendung eines Spezialwerkzeugs austauschbar sind, welches nur der Kistenbereitsteller in seinem Besitz hat.According to this aspect, there is thus provided 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.
Die Kiste wird gemäß Ausführungsbeispielen der Erfindung von dem sich vom Boden nach oben erstreckenden ersten Seitenwandbereich (der auch die gesamte Seitenwand sein kann) geringerer Entnahmehöhe in vertikaler Richtung nach oben begrenzt. Das heißt, oberhalb dieses ersten Seitenwandbereichs befindet sich keine weiter kraftschlüssige Verbindung zwischen den angrenzenden Seitenwänden. Mit anderen Worten ist die erste Seitenwand zumindest teilweise weniger hoch als die umliegenden oder als einige der umliegenden Seitenwände, so dass in die Kiste auch seitlich eingegriffen werden kann, um so bei den Kisten auch im gestapelten Zustand leicht Zugriff auf Produkte zu erhalten, die sich in unteren Kisten des Stapels befinden.According to embodiments of the invention, 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. In other words, 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.
Dabei ist die Höhe der ersten Seitenwand bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen dennoch so bemessen, dass die spezifischen in der Kiste transportierten Produkte während des Transports nicht aus der Kiste fallen können. Bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen ist die Kiste zum Transport von Flaschen oder von Flaschen, die in kleineren Gebinden vorverpackt sind, bestimmt, weswegen die erste Seitenwand eine Höhe aufweist, die ausreicht, ein Herausfallen einzelner Flaschen aus der Kiste zu verhindern. Bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen beträgt die Höhe zwischen 1 und 10cm. Bei einigen weiteren Ausführungsbeispielen beträgt diese Höhe zwischen 2 und 5 cm, oder allgemein mehr als 2 cm.In this case, 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. In some embodiments, 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. In some embodiments, 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.
Bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen weist die erste Seitenwand an ihren an die benachbarten Seitenwände angrenzenden Rändern je zwei Seitenwandabschnitte auf, die sich bis auf die Höhe der angrenzenden Seitenwände erstrecken, um die Stabilität der Kiste zu erhöhen. Bei weiteren Ausführungsbeispielen der vorliegenden Erfindung hat die Kiste vier Seitenwände, wobei zumindest in den an die erste Seitenwand angrenzenden Seitenwänden Grifföffnungen angeordnet sind. Die Grifföffnungen weisen dabei einen parallel zum Boden verlaufenden Bereich als auch einen senkrecht zum Boden verlaufenden Bereich auf. Bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen ist der senkrecht zum Boden verlaufende Bereich in Richtung der ersten Seitenwand angeordnet. Bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen geht darüber hinaus der erste, horizontale und im wesentlichen parallel zum Boden verlaufende Öffnungsabschnitt in den vertikalen Öffnungsabschnitt mit einem Radius über, der groß genug ist, um die Kiste auch im Radius greifen zu können. Bei diesen Ausführungsbeispielen der Erfindung ist es folglich möglich, die Kiste auch im Radius oder im vertikalen Öffnungsabschnitt zu greifen und zu heben, so dass diese beim Greifen nach hinten kippt. Dies verringert während des Transports die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Herausfallens der Gegenstände wie beispielsweise der Flaschen aus der Kiste durch die Öffnungen der ersten Seitenwand.In some embodiments, 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. In further embodiments of the present invention, the box has four side walls, wherein grip openings are 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. In some embodiments, the region extending perpendicular to the bottom is arranged in the direction of the first side wall. In some embodiments, moreover, the first, horizontal and substantially parallel to the bottom opening portion in the vertical opening portion with a radius that is large enough to grip the box in the radius can go over. In these embodiments of the invention, it is therefore possible to grasp and lift the box also in the radius or in the vertical opening portion, so that it tilts when gripping to the rear. This reduces the likelihood of articles falling out during transport such as the bottles from the box through the openings of the first side wall.
Gemäß einigen Ausführungsbeispielen der Erfindung weist die Kiste ferner in dem an die erste Seitenwand angrenzenden Bodenbereich eine größere Auflagefläche für die zu transportierenden Produkte vor, als im Mittel im übrigen Bereich des Bodens. Dies bedeutet mit anderen Worten, dass, wenn der Boden aus Gewichtsersparnisgründen nicht vollflächig ausgebildet ist, sondern beispielsweise aus einzelnen Streben besteht, die Anzahl der Streben pro Fläche, also die Strebendichte in dem an die erste Seitenwand angrenzenden Bereich erhöht ist. Dies führt dazu, dass ein in die Kiste in der Nähe der Seitenwand eingelegtes Gut, beispielsweise eine Getränkeflasche oder Dose mit großer Auflagefläche mit dem Boden in Kontakt ist. Dies verhindert, dass die Flasche oder die Getränkedose in Ausnehmungen zwischen die Bodenstreben gleiten oder kippen kann, so dass ein ungewolltes Herausfallen der Dose oder der Flasche während des Transports verhindert wird.According to some embodiments of the invention, 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. This means, in other words, that if the ground is not fully formed for weight-saving reasons, but for example consists of individual struts, the number of struts per area, so the butt is increased in the adjacent to the first side wall area. As a result, a good placed in the box near the side wall, for example a beverage bottle or can with a large contact surface, is in contact with the floor. This prevents the bottle or beverage can from sliding or tilting in recesses between the floor braces to prevent accidental falling out of the can or bottle during shipping.
Bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen sind ferner die Seitenwände, die an die erste Seitenwand angrenzen, an der Stirnseite, an der sie an die erste Seitenwand angrenzen, weniger hoch als an der der Seitenwand gegenüberliegenden Stirnseite. Das heißt, in Richtung der Öffnung sind die an die Öffnung anschließenden Seitenwände niedriger, so dass zum einen der zur Entnahme zur Verfügung gestellte Raum vergrößert wird und so dass zum anderen der Lichteinfall bzw. der Einblickwinkel in das Innere der Kiste vergrößert wird, um so die in der Kiste transportierten Gegenstände, wie beispielsweise Flaschen oder dergleichen, besser sichtbar zu machen.Further, in some embodiments, 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.
Bei einigen weiteren Ausführungsbeispielen sind die übrigen Seitenwände, die nicht der ersten Seitenwand entsprechen, bezüglich des Bodens klappbar, so dass die Kiste in einen zusammengefalteten Zustand gebracht werden kann, in der die übrigen Seitenwände näherungsweise parallel zum Boden auf diesem aufliegen oder sich oberhalb des Bodens befinden. Dadurch kann die Kiste im entleerten Zustand kostengünstiger und effizienter transportiert werden.In some other embodiments, 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.
Einige Ausführungsbeispiele weisen einen zusätzlichen beweglichen Seitenwandbereich auf, der sich oberhalb der ersten Seitenwand in vertikaler Richtung erstreckt, und der entweder abgenommen oder abgeklappt werden kann. Dies kann den Vorteil haben, dass im aufgeklappten Zustand der beweglichen Seitenwandbereich zusätzlich die Stabilität bzw. die Sicherheit erhöht, sodass keine Waren oder Produkte aus der Kiste fallen können. Ferner kann im auf- oder abgeklappten Zustand der beweglichen Seitenwandbereich dazu verwendet werden, Produktinformationen oder dergleichen zu präsentieren.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.
Bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen ist der bewegliche Seitenwandbereich gitterförmig ausgebildet bzw. aus einer Mehrzahl von Stegen gebildet, so dass die Kiste mit Hochdruckstrahlung gereinigt werden kann, ohne den beweglichen Seitenwandbereich von der Kiste zu trennen bzw. diesen ungewollt durch den hohen Druck von der Kiste zu lösen.In some embodiments, the movable side wall portion is formed lattice-shaped or formed from a plurality of webs, so that the box can be cleaned with high-pressure radiation without separating the movable side wall portion of the box or unintentionally release this from the box by the high pressure ,
Bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen sind ferner die übrigen Seitenwände auf deren Innenseite mit einer Folie beschichtet bzw. laminiert, die Produktinformationen enthält, die von außen gut eingesehen werden können.Also, in some embodiments, the remaining sidewalls are laminated on the inside thereof with a foil that contains product information that can be readily viewed from the outside.
Bei einigen weiteren Ausführungsbeispielen ist eine helle Folie vorgesehen, so dass durch die Lichtreflexion die in der Kiste transportierten Gegenstände bzw. Flaschen optisch besser wahrgenommen werden können.In some other embodiments, a light film is provided, so that the objects or bottles transported in the box can be better visually perceived by the light reflection.
Bei einigen weiteren Ausführungsbeispielen sind die übrigen drei Seitenwände, die nicht der niedrigeren Wand entsprechen, gleich hoch, so dass die Kisten aufeinander stapelbar sind, wobei der Boden einer Kiste auf den übrigen drei Seitenwänden der darunterliegenden Kiste zu liegen kommt. Zu diesem Zweck können sowohl in dem Boden als auch in den oberen Enden der übrigen Seitenwände spezielle Ausnehmungen bzw. Konturen vorgesehen sein, in die die dazu korrespondierenden Ausnehmungen bzw. Konturen des Bodens respektive der übrigen Seitenwände eingreifen, um so die Stapelbarkeit zu ermöglichen und einen sicheren Stand zu gewährleisten.In some other embodiments, the remaining three side walls, which do not correspond to the lower wall, are the same height so that the boxes are stackable with the bottom of a box coming to rest on the remaining three side walls of the underlying box. For this purpose, special recesses or contours may be provided both in the bottom and in the upper ends of the remaining side walls, in which engage the corresponding recesses or contours of the floor or the other side walls so as to allow the stackability and a to ensure a secure footing.
Bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen von erfindungsgemäßen Kisten, die sich zur Aufbewahrung bzw. zum Transport und der Präsentation von Getränkeflaschen oder Dosen eignen, weist der Boden eine Mehrzahl sich von in vertikaler Richtung vom Boden nach oben erstreckende Pinolen auf. Pinolen sind dreidimensionale Objekte, die sich auf dem Boden befinden und die derart geformt sind, dass die Flaschen von den äußeren Begrenzungsflächen der Pinolen gehalten oder fixiert werden, so dass ein Herausfallen der Flaschen wirksam verhindert wird. Bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen weisen die Pinolen in der vertikalen Richtung nur eine geringe Höhe auf, so dass diese auch als Pinolenstümpfe bezeichnet werden können. Die Höhe und die äußere Form einiger Pinolen ist so gewählt, dass diese in Verbindung mit der ersten Seitenwand ein Herausfallen der Flaschen durch die seitliche Öffnung verhindern. Um die Entnahme dennoch zu gewährleisten, sind bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen die Pinolen an ihrer höchsten Stelle nicht höher als die erste Seitenwand. Bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen haben die äußeren Begrenzungsflächen der Pinolen eine variierende Höhe, um diese bestmöglich an die gestellten Aufgaben anzupassen. Um ein Herauskippen der Flaschen in Richtung der ersten Seitenwand zu ermöglichen und dennoch eine gute Stabilität zu gewährleisten, weisen die Pinolen in einer Richtung parallel zur Seitenwand eine geringere Höhe auf als in Richtung auf die erste Seitenwand hin, so dass ein Kippen parallel zur ersten Seitenwand ermöglicht wird, wohingegen ein Kippen einer dazu senkrechten Richtung erschwert wird und die Flaschen sicher gehalten werden.In some embodiments of boxes according to the invention suitable for storage or presentation of beverage bottles or cans, the bottom has a plurality of quills extending upwardly from the bottom in the vertical direction. Quills are three-dimensional objects that are on the ground are and which are shaped so that the bottles are held or fixed by the outer boundary surfaces of the quills, so that falling out of the bottles is effectively prevented. In some embodiments, 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. In some embodiments, the outer boundary surfaces of the sleeves have a varying height to best match this to the tasks set. 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.

Die Kiste weist ferner zwei Paare von sich jeweils gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden 14a, 14b und 16a, 16b auf, die sich von dem Boden 12 nach oben, d.h. in der vertikalen Richtung 18 erstrecken. Eine erste der vier Seitenwände, in diesem Beispiel Seitenwand 16b, erstreckt sich lediglich um eine geringe Entnahmehöhe 20 in die vertikale Richtung 18. Die Entnahmehöhe 20 ist geringer als die Höhe der übrigen Seitenwände 14a, 14b und 16a, so dass eine seitliche Öffnung gebildet wird, die einen Zugriff auf bzw. die Entnahme von in der Kiste enthaltenen und transportierten Flaschen oder Produkten durch die seitliche Öffnung ermöglicht. Oberhalb der ersten Seitenwand 16b befindet sich keine weitere Struktur der Kiste. Auf dem Boden 12 des in
Durch die erste Seitenwand 16b wird eine seitliche Öffnung definiert bzw. gebildet, die einen Zugriff auf die Entnahme der in der Kiste transportierten Flaschen ermöglicht. Bei anderen Ausführungsbeispielen können selbstverständlich andere Produkte in der Kiste transportiert werden. In der Kiste von
Bei alternativen hier nicht gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen weist die Seitenwand nicht in ihrer kompletten Länge die geringe Entnahmehöhe 20 auf, sondern es erstrecken sich von den angrenzenden Seitenwänden 14a und 14b feststehende Seitenwandabschnitte in die seitliche Öffnung, wobei die seitliche Öffnung immer noch so groß bleibt, dass eine Entnahme der Produkte bzw. Flaschen gewährleistet ist. Derartige Kisten können eine erhöhte Stabilität aufweisen.In alternative embodiments, not shown here, the side wall is not in its entire length, the low removal height 20, but extending from the

Die an die erste Seitenwand 16b angrenzenden Seitenwände 14a und 14b weisen jeweils eine Grifföffnung 28a und 28b auf, an denen die Kiste angehoben und getragen werden kann. Dabei weisen die Grifföffnungen sowohl einen ersten, sicht parallel zum Boden erstreckenden Öffnungsbereich als auch einen zweiten, sich im Wesentlichen in vertikaler Richtung erstreckenden Öffnungsbereich auf, deren Funktion nachfolgend anhand von
Ferner weisen die an die erste Seitenwand 16b angrenzenden Seitenwände 14a und 14b an ihrem in Richtung der ersten Seitenwand zeigenden Ende abgeschrägte Kantenbereiche 30a und 30b auf, durch die Licht in die Kisten fallen kann, selbst wenn diese aufeinandergestapelt sind. Beim in

Bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen der Erfindung sind die nach innen gerichteten Flächen der Seitenwände 14a, 14b und 16a mit heller Farbe gestaltet, so dass durch den durch die Öffnungen 30a und 30b bewirkte Lichteinfall die Flaschen im Inneren der Kiste für den von außen beobachtenden Beobachter gut erkennbar sind. Bei alternativen Ausführungsbeispielen sind die Flächen mit Produkthinweisen oder Werbung beklebt.In some embodiments of the invention, the inwardly facing surfaces of the

Bei einigen Ausführungsbeispielen der Erfindung ist der Boden 12 nicht vollflächig gebildet, sondern zur Gewichtsersparnis und zur leichteren Reinigung durch eine Anordnung von Rippen gebildet. Diese überdecken die Fläche des Bodens 12 so, dass die einzelnen Flaschen mit ihrem Flaschenboden sicher auf dem Boden 12 aufliegen. Im Bereich 50 der Vorderkante, also in dem an die erste Seitenwand 16b angrenzenden Bereich 50, ist die Anzahl bzw. die Flächendichte der Rippen, verglichen mit dem übrigen Bereich, erhöht, so dass die dort befindlichen Flaschen auch dann nicht von selbst nach außen kippen können, wenn sie durch äußere Einflüsse aus ihrer Ruhelage leicht in Richtung auf die erste Seitenwand 16b gekippt werden. Dies wird dadurch vermieden, dass die Rippen im an die erste Seitenwand 16b angrenzenden Bereich 50 so dicht gesetzt sind, dass die Kante einer Flasche nicht zwischen den Leerraum zwischen zwei benachbarten Rippen kippen kann. In anderen Worten weist in dem an die erste Seitenwand 16b angrenzenden Bereich 50 der Boden 12 eine Auflagefläche für die Flaschen auf, die größer ist als die im Mittel über den Boden pro Flächeneinheit zur Verfügung gestellte Auflagefläche, um die sichere Halterung der Flaschen zu ermöglichen.In some embodiments of the invention, the

Ferner weist der Boden der Kiste in deren Mitte eine Strebe 52 auf, die sich von der Seitenwand 16a bis zur ersten Seitenwand 16b erstreckt und deren Stege in der vertikalen Richtung eine größere Ausdehnung aufweisen als die übrigen Stege des Bodens. Diese Strebe 52 dient dazu, die erste Seitenwand 16b geringerer Höhe zusätzlich abzustützen, um die Stabilität der Kiste zu erhöhen. Die Strebe 52 ist mittig angeordnet, so dass die Strebe, die sich weiter als der übrige Boden nach unten erstreckt, im gestapelten Zustand das Herausnehmen der Flaschen aus der unteren Kiste nicht behindert.Further, the bottom of the box in the middle of a

Die äußere Begrenzungsfläche 70 weist eine variierende Höhe auf, wie oben bereits geschildert. Dabei ist die Pinole in einem ersten Seitenflächenbereich 75, der parallel zur ersten Seitenwand 16b verläuft und eine Flasche nach hinten (in der von der ersten Seitenwand 16b weg zeigenden Richtung 72), sichert, weniger hoch als in einem zweiten Seitenflächenbereich 76, der die Flasche gegen ein Verkippen in einer Richtung 74 parallel zur ersten Seitenwand 16b sichert.The

Der erste Seitenflächenbereich 75 ist niedriger als der zweite Seitenflächenbereich 76, um beim Herauskippen der Flaschen nach vorne ein Kippen zu ermöglichen, ohne die Flasche soweit anheben zu müssen, dass sie möglicherweise bereits an den Boden einer weiteren Kiste anstößt, die auf der betrachteten Kiste gestapelt ist.The first side surface area 75 is lower than the second
Der zweite Begrenzungsflächenbereich 76 hingegen verhindert ein Verkippen in der Richtung parallel zur ersten Seitenwand 16b und kann daher höher sein, um die Stabilität zu erhöhen. Allgemein bewirken sowohl die Pinolen 54a und 54b als auch die Pinole 54c eine maximale Stabilität bei gleichzeitigem Ermöglichen des Herauskippens nach vorne, indem die Pinolen in der Richtung parallel zur Seitenwand eine geringere Höhe aufweisen, als in der Richtung senkrecht zur Seitenwand.The

Obwohl im Vorangehenden überwiegend im Kontext von Getränkekisten diskutiert, sind weitere Ausführungsbeispiele der vorliegenden Erfindung selbstverständlich auch für andere Produktarten verwendbar. Beispielsweise können Getränkedosen sowie beliebige andere zylindrische Gegenstände, wie beispielsweise Haarsprays, Deodosen oder dergleichen mit den erfindungsgemäßen Kisten transportiert werden. Ferner eignen sich die Kisten mit einer seitlichen Öffnung auch für gänzlich andere Arten von Produkten, die auch von einer zylindrischen Grundform abweichen können. Die Kisten sind universell für alle möglichen Produkte einsetzbar, da sie erlauben, dass im gestapelten Zustand die Produkte auch seitlich aus der Kiste entnommen werden können. Dieser große Vorteil ist nicht auf die Art der transportierten Ware beschränkt.Although discussed above in the context of beverage crates, other embodiments of the present invention are, of course, also applicable to other types of products. For example, beverage cans and any other cylindrical objects, such as hair sprays, deodoses or the like can be transported with the boxes according to the invention. Furthermore, the boxes with a lateral opening are also suitable for completely different types of products, which may also differ from a cylindrical basic shape. The boxes are universally applicable for all sorts of products, as they allow that in the stacked state, the products can also be removed laterally from the box. This great advantage is not limited to the type of goods transported.
