Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bottle crate with a truss insert according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Simple bottle crate inserts or truss inserts for insertion into the interior of a bottle crate are z. B. off US 2,119,889 A . DE 17 48 170 U . DE 18 39 065 U or GB 873 288 A known. These inserts usually consist of a truss with longitudinal and transverse webs, which define compartments for receiving bottles. Due to advances in manufacturing technology and the ability to produce bottle cases together with truss in one piece in an injection molding process, one has moved away from the use of separate bottle crate inserts in recent decades. However, bottle crate inserts have the advantage that only by replacing the insert of the bottle crate can be adapted to different bottle sizes, eg. B. 24 x 0.3 l, 30 x 0.25 l, 12 x 1 l, 10 x 1.5 l or 8 x 2.5 l bottles, such as. In EP 0 655 397 A1 or EP 1 637 470 A1 is shown.
- a bottle crate with a truss insert that can be positioned at two different heights above a bottom of a bottle crate is also used in AT 315 724 B described.
- a box according to AU 716 767 B2 is formed so that objects can also be inserted and removed from the side into the respective box.
- the box has a movable barrier. Sliding sections are provided on the barrier, which at a first orientation of the barrier carry them and do not come into play when the first orientation is turned through 180 °.
- Another removable insert is also used, for example US 4 113 329 A disclosed.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a comparison with the prior art improved and more user-friendly bottle crate with a truss insert, which is equally suitable for transporting a bottle or can composite and other objects as well as for the transport of individual bottles or cans.
- An inventive bottle crate has a removable truss insert for receiving bottles or cans.
- removable or a “removability” is understood here as opposed to “removable” or a “disassembly” a suitability in terms of a geometric configuration for tool-free removal.
- the guides of bottle crate and truss work cooperate such that the half-timbered insert used in a first orientation on at least a first pair of guides (or on the interaction of this first guide pair) can be lowered to the bottom of the bottle case and can be lowered in at least one second guide pair (or via the interaction of this second guide pair) to a first orientation or lowered second orientation only to at least one predetermined distance from the bottle case bottom predetermined height or height position.
- the truss can be lowered either to the ground, so that it rests on the bottle case bottom or at least in this vicinity, or in a position or height in which it is spaced from the ground , to be brought.
- the bottle crate according to the invention thus has a height-adjustable truss insert which, depending on its orientation, can be brought into two different height positions and remain in them due to gravity.
- the half-timbered insert serves as an ordinary bottle crate for receiving and lateral support or separation of bottles or cans placed in the bottle crate. Since the truss is height adjustable, the management level of the truss use can be changed.
- the cardboard was removed from the beverage associations and the bottles or cans were emptied, they can also be transported as individual bottles or cans safely with the bottle case according to the invention, as taken in the bottle case of the invention, the truss used, oriented differently and placed in a spaced position from the bottom of the bottle can be, in which the individual bottles or cans are laterally supported by the truss.
- the bottle case according to the invention a plurality of individual Pick up bottles and cans and separate them so that the bottles or cans do not hit each other during transportation and may break.
- the truss insert may be a grid or plate-shaped insert having a plurality of openings, apertures or bottle nests into which bottles or cans may be placed separately.
- the truss can be sized in thickness or height so that on the one hand not much space consumed when it is lowered to the bottom of the bottle, on the other hand sufficient vertical guide surfaces or sections to tilt or jamming of the truss insert when lifting or lowering the bottle crate to avoid.
- the half-timbered insert is aligned differently by turning or turning and, depending on the orientation, lowered to different depths in the bottle crate.
- the half-timbered insert must be rotated either by 180 ° about a vertical axis (height axis) or a horizontal axis (transverse axis).
- This principle at least as far as the rotation about the vertical axis is concerned, is known in a similar form from rotary stacking containers, whereby it does not matter here to be able to nest the container at different heights within the other container.
- an inner profile of the bottle crate interacts with an outer profile of the truss insert in such a way that the truss can be lowered either as far as the bottle crate bottom or only up to a predetermined height position, depending on its orientation.
- the bottle crate according to the invention allows the replacement of the truss use depending on the transported bottle or can sizes and above In addition, there is also the possibility of safely transporting the respective bottle or can sizes in the beverage network and as individual bottles.
- the interchangeability of the truss use also has the advantage that in case of damage to the truss not the entire bottle crate, but only the truss can be replaced, which costs can be saved. Furthermore, the bottle crate and truss as a separate parts are easier to manufacture than an integrated component.
- the first guide pair which allows the lowering to the bottle case bottom
- the second guide pair which allows the lowering only up to a predetermined height
- the inner profile of the bottle crate and / or the outer profile of the truss insert can thus be designed asymmetrically. Due to the asymmetry of the guide pairings, different pairs of guides act together, depending on the orientation of the truss insert. Thus, it is not necessary to make any changes to the bottle crate or truss used to allow the height adjustment of the truss insert. This height adjustment is based solely on the rotation or turn of the same truss use.
- the first guide pair may be formed by a first truss-side guide element and a first box-side guide element extending to the bottle case bottom.
- the second guide pair can be formed by the first or a second framework-side guide element and a second box-side guide element reaching only up to the predetermined height position.
- the truss and box side guide elements not only allow vertical guidance of the truss insert when raising or lowering, but also limit the degree of freedom of the truss insert in the bottle crate.
- the height limit can be realized solely by the design of the box-side guide elements.
- the first truss-side guide element has a guide pin or guide projection formed on a peripheral or outer side of the truss insert or on an inner side or inner surface of a quill receptacle of the truss insert.
- the box-side guide elements can be designed correspondingly in shape and position complementary to the bottle crate.
- the first box-side guide element may have a first box-side guide groove formed on a side inner wall or quill of the bottle crate and extending to the bottle case bottom.
- the second box-side guide element may have a formed on a side inner wall or quill of the bottle crate and only reaching to the predetermined height position second guide groove.
- the truss-side guide pin or projection cooperates with or engages the box-side first guide groove and, in the second alignment of the trussed insert, the truss-side guide pin or projection interacts with or engages with the box-side second guide groove one.
- guide pins or projections may be formed on the box side and the corresponding guide grooves formed lattice-side, if it is ensured that the truss can be placed in different height positions depending on its orientation.
- Such guide pins or protrusions or guide grooves are easy to produce in terms of production, so that a versatile bottle crate can be provided with little effort.
- the first and / or second guide groove does not extend to the upper edge of the bottle crate.
- the guide grooves do not run upwards but are closed. This can ensure that the truss does not slip out of the guides or the bottle crate, if this z. B. is made for cleaning purposes upside down. To remove the truss insert this must only be tilted slightly, so that the corresponding guide elements are released.
- the truss used on a first side of a flat support surface and on an opposite side formed between the receiving openings or bottle nests insertion bevels.
- the insertion slopes facing up and the flat bearing surface down or to the bottom of the bottle have.
- the truss must offer a corresponding flat or level bearing surface.
- the truss has corresponding insertion bevels.
- the surface of the bottle crate bottom may be formed substantially complementary to the second side of the truss insert or to the side, which has the insertion bevels.
- These can be formed by sublime, protruding ridges or ribs.
- the webs can run towards each other and enforce the grandeur at a single or multiple sites. For example, they may be pyramid-shaped and aligned. They define at least theoretical bevels and / or surfaces for slip direction setting / slide guidance of the containers, such as bottles. This ensures that the truss used rests flat on the bottle case bottom and not only on the insertion bevels. Furthermore, it can also be lowered by the truss in the bottle crate.
- the truss is detectable in the predetermined height position and / or lowered to the bottle case bottom position. Even if on the guide pairs of truss use in the predetermined height or the bottle crate floor by gravity alone In some situations, it may be advantageous if the truss insert can be locked in one or both positions. This is z. As is the case when the bottle crate must be turned upside down for cleaning. In addition, it can also be ensured that the truss used remains in its desired position during transport, z. B. when the bottle case is tilted while wearing. The releasable locking of the truss insert in a certain position can be achieved by means of locking or Verrastungsmechanismen.
- the truss has at least one locking or latching element, which can cooperate form-fitting at least with a corresponding formed in the bottle crate locking or locking geometry when the truss is placed in the predetermined height position or the lowered position.
- the locking or locking can be done automatically, so that you can do without any handles for locking the truss insert.
- a truss-side and / or bottle box-side locking element can be resiliently biased.
- the bias can be done in the transverse direction of the bottle crate.
- the locking force and the unlocking force can be adjusted so that the truss can also be unlocked again, without special operations.
- the latch may be of the form that locking occurs automatically when the truss is moved to the specified position, but can only be unlocked by manual actuation of the one or more latch members ,
- the at least one lattice-side locking element may be formed as a projecting spring tab, which engages in a corresponding recess which is provided on the bottle crate.
- This recess may be at a projecting from the bottle case bottom guide column Pinole be formed and / or be formed on one or more side wall portions of the bottle crate.
- the at least one locking element or the at least one locking element is automatically unlocked or released when a predetermined force is applied to the truss in the vertical direction.
- This allows the user to bring the half-timbered insert by simply pulling up or down in different positions. Since the half-timbered insert is lowered and raised much more often than is completely removed from the bottle crate, the interaction of the locking or Verrastungsetti in the predetermined height position can be adjusted so that the force to release the truss in the lowering direction smaller than the necessary Force to release the truss use in lifting direction or take-out direction is. This can ensure that when pulling up the truss insert this is not accidentally removed completely from the bottle crate.
- the lock may be of the shape that for removing the truss insert the locking elements must be manually operated, while lowering the truss insert only a predetermined unlocking force must be applied to the truss and the locking elements automatically release the truss use.
- An additional or independent aspect of the invention relates to a set of truss inserts according to the invention, wherein the truss inserts have identical locking or latching elements and differ in number and size of the openings or recesses for receiving bottles and cans.
- the truss inserts have identical locking or latching elements and differ in number and size of the openings or recesses for receiving bottles and cans.
- the inserts may be designed differently depending on the number and / or size of the bottle receptacle, resulting in less confusion when replacing the truss inserts.
- An advantageous embodiment is also characterized in that the truss insert insertion bevels or Ein Industriesstege / ribs for centering of containers, such as bottles, has.
- the at least one locking element is designed as a separate component from the truss and the material forming the bottle crate, which is preferably inserted under bias between the truss and the bottle crate.
- FIGS. 6 to 10 shown truss inserts serve only background of the invention and are not covered by the claim 1.
- the Fig. 1 shows a bottle crate 2 according to the invention in the form of a rectangular container with a rectangular bottle crate bottom 4 from the edges of which substantially vertically two long side walls 6 and two short side walls 8 extend. In the short side walls handle and view openings are formed.
- a truss 10 is used in the open-topped bottle crate 2 .
- the truss insert 10 has a framework-like structure, which has openings 12 which form bottle nests, in the bottles 14 (see Fig. 10 ) can be adjusted.
- the truss insert 10 has essentially the function to laterally support and separate the adjusted bottles 14.
- Bottle crate 2 and truss 10 can be made of plastic, in particular by injection molding.
- the truss 10 is guided vertically on the two opposite long side walls 6 and slightly spaced from the two opposite short side walls 8.
- On the inside 16 of the long side walls 6 a plurality of guide grooves 18, 20 and 22 are formed. These guide grooves 18, 20 and 22 will be described with reference to FIGS Fig. 2 described in detail.
- the Fig. 2 On the inside 16 of the long side wall 6 is a centrally arranged, semi-cylindrical shaped and extending from the bottle case bottom 4 to the bottle crate edge 24 extending Klein Replacementsnut 18 is formed. Asymmetric to the central main guide groove 18, a pair of long guide grooves 20 and a pair of short guide grooves 22 are formed. While the long guide grooves 20 extend from the bottle crate rim 24 substantially to the bottle crate bottom 4, the short guide grooves 22 only extend to a predetermined height H, which is located approximately in the lower third of the bottle crate 2.
- the main guide groove 18 serves for the general vertical guidance of the truss insert 10.
- the long guide grooves 20 form with a pair of guide projections 30 which are formed on an outer side 34 of the truss insert 10 (see Fig. 3 ), a first guide pair and the short guide grooves 22 form with the guide projections 30 a second guide pair.
- the long guide grooves 20 and the short guide grooves 22 are formed on the opposite long side wall 6 exactly the other way round, so that when the truss 10 in the orientation, as in the Fig. 3 is inserted into the bottle crate 2, the two asymmetrically and on opposite sides arranged guide projections 30 are inserted into the short guide grooves 22.
- the truss 10 can be lowered only up to a height H, since the lower end of the short guide grooves 22 forms a stop for the guide projections 30.
- the guide projections 30 come into engagement with the long guide grooves 20 which extend to the bottle case bottom 4, which is why the truss 10 can be lowered to the bottle case bottom 4.
- the long and short guide grooves 20, 22 are somewhat undercut and have a T-shaped profile, so that the projections 30, which are correspondingly T-shaped, are trapped vertically in the guide grooves 20 and 22, but in the transverse direction.
- the T-shape is optional and not visualized in the figures.
- These guide grooves 20 and 22 may alternatively be round, square or dovetail-shaped.
- the long and short guide grooves 20, 22 run upwards open.
- one or more of the grooves 20, 22 may also be closed at the top of the bottle crate rim 24, so that the truss insert 10 can be removed from the bottle crate 2 only by slight tilting.
- the long side wall 6 in a central portion has a slightly recessed wall portion 32, in which also the grooves 18, 20 and 22 are formed.
- the withdrawn Wall section 32 serves as a sliding surface for an outer wall section or peripheral wall section 34 of the truss insert 10.
- truss ribs or projections 36 are formed, which are chamfered in the crossing points and pass into the bottle case bottom 4.
- the truss ribs 36 are substantially complementary to the surface design of the one side of the truss insert 10 (upper side in the Fig. 3 ), which has insertion chamfers 38 between the truss openings 12.
- the chamfers 38 are cross-shaped rising ribs at the intersection of the half-timbered partitions 40.
- the other side of the truss insert 10, ie the bottom in the Fig. 3 is flat so that when the truss 10 is turned over and lowered to the bottle crate bottom 4, as in the Fig. 1 and in detail in the Fig. 4 is shown, a flat footprint for the beverage composites 15 (see Fig. 9 ) offers.
- Fig. 4 is also very good to see the interaction of truss ribs 36 and insertion bevels 38, so that the truss 10 rests on all chamfers 38 and half-timbered partitions 40.
- the latticework insert 10 formed by the lattice-shaped half-timbered partitions 40 has in the corner regions of the openings 12 (see in particular Fig. 1 ) integrally formed cylindrical segments 42 (see in particular Fig. 3 ), which support the bottles used 14 laterally flat.
- the Fig. 4 visualizes the interaction of selected or all guide grooves 20, each with at least one projection 30.
- groove and projection can also be such that the groove is present on the truss insert and the projection is formed on an inner wall of the bottle crate.
- the projection may be T-shaped or dovetail-shaped. Opposite grooves then allow an undercut and / or a grip behind.
- the Indian Fig. 3 shown truss insert 10 has 6 x 4 bottle spaces, the two outer, the short side walls 8 facing parking spaces are defined in conjunction with the short side wall 8.
- the latticework insert 10 has only separating projections 44, which are completed by corresponding truss lugs 46 which are formed in the edge region between the bottle case bottom 4 and the short side wall 8.
- the Fig. 5 shows a similar in basic form truss insert 50 according to a second embodiment, which can also be used with the bottle crate 2.
- This has no chamfers 38 and no guide projections 30.
- the truss insert 50 on the outside, which is associated with the inner side 16 of the long side wall 6, a central semi-cylindrical main guide projection 52 which can slide vertically in the main guide 18.
- a pair of resilient locking tongues 54 are formed, which are designed with respect to their position and function so that they engage in the recesses 26 when the truss 50 is at the height H, and engage in the recesses 28 when the truss insert 50 is lowered to the bottle case bottom 4.
- the resilient locking tongues 54 yield and release the truss insert 50.
- the lock hook 56 and the recesses 26 and 28 may be formed so that the lock hook 56 is displaced by corresponding inclinations when reciprocated between the bottle case bottom 4 and the height H.
- the locking hook 56 and the recesses 26 are designed so that the truss can not be easily removed.
- the locking hooks 56 must be manually unlocked by the locking hooks 56, for example, with a sharp object such. As a screwdriver, pressed from the outside through the recess 26 through inside and released. This prevents that the truss 50 is not inadvertently removed from the bottle crate 2 in normal use. Instead of a manual unlocking the automatic unlocking can only be difficult.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Flaschenkasten mit einem Fachwerkeinsatz gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a bottle crate with a truss insert according to the preamble of claim 1.
Einfache Flaschenkasteneinsätze bzw. Fachwerkeinsätze zum Einsetzen in das Innere eines Flaschenkastens sind z. B. aus
Mittlerweile werden mit Flaschenkästen nicht nur unterschiedliche Flaschengrößen, sondern auch in Kartonagen zusammengefasste Getränkeverbünde, z. B. sogenannten Sixpacks, ausgeliefert. Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Fachwerkeinsätze können hierfür nicht verwendet werden und müssen entnommen werden. Wenn anschließend die leeren Einzelflaschen zurücktransportiert werden sollen, fehlt jedoch das entnommene Fachwerk, das verhindert, dass die Flaschen beim Transport nicht hin- und herrutschen und gegeneinander schlagen.Meanwhile, with crates not only different bottle sizes, but also summarized in cardboard packaging groups, eg. B. so-called six-packs delivered. The truss inserts known from the prior art can not be used for this purpose and must be removed. However, if the empty single bottles are to be transported back afterwards, the removed truss is missing, which prevents the bottles from sliding back and forth during transport and striking against each other.
In
Ein Flaschenkasten mit einem in zwei verschiedenen Höhen über einem Boden eines Flaschenkastens positionierbaren Fachwerkeinsatz wird beispielsweise auch in
Ein Kasten gemäß
Ein weiterer entnehmbarer Einsatz wird beispielsweise auch in
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbesserten und anwenderfreundlicheren Flaschenkasten mit einem Fachwerkeinsatz bereitzustellen, der sich sowohl zum Transport von einem Flaschen- oder Dosenverbund sowie anderen Gegenständen als auch zum Transport von einzelnen Flaschen bzw. Dosen gleichermaßen eignet.Object of the present invention is to provide a comparison with the prior art improved and more user-friendly bottle crate with a truss insert, which is equally suitable for transporting a bottle or can composite and other objects as well as for the transport of individual bottles or cans.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Ein erfindungsgemäßer Flaschenkasten weist einen entnehmbaren Fachwerkeinsatz zur Aufnahme von Flaschen oder Dosen auf. Unter "entnehmbar" bzw. einer "Entnehmbarkeit" wird hier im Gegensatz zu "demontierbar" bzw. einer "Demontierbarkeit" eine Geeignetheit im Sinne einer geometrischen Ausgestaltung zum werkzeuglosen Herausnehmen verstanden. Dabei ist der Fachwerkeinsatz im Flaschenkasten zumindest über eine bestimmte Höhe vertikal geführt, wobei die Führungen von Flaschenkasten und Fachwerkeinsatz derart zusammenwirken, dass der in einer ersten Ausrichtung eingesetzte Fachwerkeinsatz über zumindest ein erstes Führungspaar (bzw. über das Zusammenwirken dieses ersten Führungspaares) bis zum Flaschenkastenboden absenkbar ist und in einer zu der ersten Ausrichtung gedrehten oder gewendeten zweiten Ausrichtung über zumindest ein zweites Führungspaar (bzw. über das Zusammenwirken dieses zweiten Führungspaares) nur bis zumindest einer vom Flaschenkastenboden beabstandeten vorbestimmten Höhe oder Höhenposition absenkbar ist.An inventive bottle crate has a removable truss insert for receiving bottles or cans. By "removable" or a "removability" is understood here as opposed to "removable" or a "disassembly" a suitability in terms of a geometric configuration for tool-free removal. Here, the truss used in the bottle crate is at least over a certain height guided vertically, the guides of bottle crate and truss work cooperate such that the half-timbered insert used in a first orientation on at least a first pair of guides (or on the interaction of this first guide pair) can be lowered to the bottom of the bottle case and can be lowered in at least one second guide pair (or via the interaction of this second guide pair) to a first orientation or lowered second orientation only to at least one predetermined distance from the bottle case bottom predetermined height or height position.
Somit kann der Fachwerkeinsatz, je nachdem wie dieser in den Flaschenkasten eingesetzt wird, entweder bis zum Boden abgesenkt werden, so dass er am Flaschenkastenboden aufliegt oder sich zumindest in dieser Nähe befindet, oder in eine Position oder Höhe, in welcher er vom Boden beabstandet ist, gebracht werden. D.h., der erfindungsgemäße Flaschenkasten weist somit einen höhenverstellbaren Fachwerkeinsatz auf, der in Abhängigkeit von dessen Ausrichtung in zwei unterschiedliche Höhenpositionen gebracht werden kann und in diesen schwerkraftbedingt verbleibt. Der Fachwerkeinsatz dient wie bei einem gewöhnlichen Flaschenkasten zur Aufnahme und zur seitlichen Abstützung bzw. Trennung der in den Flaschenkasten gestellten Flaschen oder Dosen. Da das Fachwerk höhenverstellbar ist, kann die Führungsebene des Fachwerkeinsatzes verändert werden.Thus, depending on how it is inserted into the bottle crate, the truss can be lowered either to the ground, so that it rests on the bottle case bottom or at least in this vicinity, or in a position or height in which it is spaced from the ground , to be brought. In other words, the bottle crate according to the invention thus has a height-adjustable truss insert which, depending on its orientation, can be brought into two different height positions and remain in them due to gravity. The half-timbered insert serves as an ordinary bottle crate for receiving and lateral support or separation of bottles or cans placed in the bottle crate. Since the truss is height adjustable, the management level of the truss use can be changed.
Aufgrund der Möglichkeit, den Fachwerkeinsatz bis zum Flaschenkastenboden absenken zu können, können mit dem Flaschenkasten Getränkeverbünde aus mehreren in Kartonage umhüllten Flaschen oder Dosen auf das abgesenkte Fachwerk gestellt werden und können somit in dem Flaschenkasten vollständig aufgenommen werden. Bei einem Flaschenkasten mit keinem höhenverstellbaren Fachwerk würden diese unter Umständen über den oberen Flaschenkastenrand hervorragen, weshalb diese Kästen nicht übereinander gestapelt werden könnten.Due to the ability to lower the truss to the bottom of the bottle can be made with the bottle crate beverage groups of several wrapped in cardboard bottles or cans on the lowered truss and can thus be fully absorbed in the bottle crate. In a bottle crate with no height-adjustable truss would this possibly protrude above the upper edge of the bottle crate, which is why these boxes could not be stacked.
Wenn die Kartonage von den Getränkeverbünden entfernt wurde und die Flaschen oder Dosen geleert wurden, können diese auch als Einzelflaschen oder Dosen sicher mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Flaschenkasten transportiert werden, da bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Flaschenkasten der Fachwerkeinsatz entnommen, anders ausgerichtet und in eine vom Flaschenboden beabstandete Position gebracht werden kann, in welcher die Einzelflaschen bzw. Dosen durch das Fachwerk seitlich gestützt werden. Somit kann der erfindungsgemäße Flaschenkasten eine Vielzahl an einzelnen Flaschen oder Dosen aufnehmen und voneinander trennen, so dass die Flaschen bzw. Dosen beim Transport nicht gegeneinander schlagen und womöglich zu Bruch gehen.If the cardboard was removed from the beverage associations and the bottles or cans were emptied, they can also be transported as individual bottles or cans safely with the bottle case according to the invention, as taken in the bottle case of the invention, the truss used, oriented differently and placed in a spaced position from the bottom of the bottle can be, in which the individual bottles or cans are laterally supported by the truss. Thus, the bottle case according to the invention a plurality of individual Pick up bottles and cans and separate them so that the bottles or cans do not hit each other during transportation and may break.
Bei dem Fachwerkeinsatz kann es sich um ein gitter- oder lochplattenförmigen Einsatz handeln, der eine Vielzahl an Öffnungen, Durchbrüchen oder Flaschennestern aufweist, in welche Flaschen oder Dosen getrennt voneinander gestellt werden können. Der Fachwerkeinsatz kann in seiner Dicke bzw. Höhe so bemessen sein, dass er einerseits nicht viel Platz verbraucht, wenn er auf den Flaschenboden abgesenkt wird, andererseits ausreichende vertikale Führungsflächen oder Abschnitte aufweist, um ein Verkippen oder Verklemmen des Fachwerkeinsatzes beim Anheben oder Absenken des Flaschenkastens zu vermeiden.The truss insert may be a grid or plate-shaped insert having a plurality of openings, apertures or bottle nests into which bottles or cans may be placed separately. The truss can be sized in thickness or height so that on the one hand not much space consumed when it is lowered to the bottom of the bottle, on the other hand sufficient vertical guide surfaces or sections to tilt or jamming of the truss insert when lifting or lowering the bottle crate to avoid.
Der Fachwerkeinsatz wird durch Drehen oder Wenden unterschiedlich ausgerichtet und je nach Ausrichtung verschieden tief im Flaschenkasten abgesenkt. Hierzu muss der Fachwerkeinsatz entweder um 180° um eine vertikale Achse (Höhenachse) oder eine horizontale Achse (Querachse) rotiert werden. Dieses Prinzip, zumindest was die Drehung um die vertikale Achse betrifft, ist in ähnlicher Form von Drehstapelbehältern bekannt, wobei es hier nicht darauf ankommt, den Behälter in unterschiedlichen Höhen innerhalb des anderen Behälters nesten zu können.The half-timbered insert is aligned differently by turning or turning and, depending on the orientation, lowered to different depths in the bottle crate. For this, the half-timbered insert must be rotated either by 180 ° about a vertical axis (height axis) or a horizontal axis (transverse axis). This principle, at least as far as the rotation about the vertical axis is concerned, is known in a similar form from rotary stacking containers, whereby it does not matter here to be able to nest the container at different heights within the other container.
Erfindungsgemäß wirkt somit ein Innenprofil des Flaschenkastens mit einem Außenprofil des Fachwerkeinsatzes derart zusammen, dass der Fachwerkeinsatz in Abhängigkeit von dessen Ausrichtung entweder bis zum Flaschenkastenboden oder nur bis zu einer vorbestimmten Höhenposition absenkbar ist.Thus, according to the invention, an inner profile of the bottle crate interacts with an outer profile of the truss insert in such a way that the truss can be lowered either as far as the bottle crate bottom or only up to a predetermined height position, depending on its orientation.
Im Gegensatz zu einem fest im Flaschenkasten integrierten Fachwerk ermöglicht der erfindungsgemäße Flaschenkasten auch noch den Austausch des Fachwerkeinsatzes gegen einen anderen Fachwerkeinsatz mit geeigneten und auf den Flaschenkasten abgestimmten Führungselementen, um so den Flaschenkasten für andere Flaschengrößen und -zahlen einsetzen zu können. Somit ermöglicht der erfindungsgemäße Flaschenkasten zum einen den Austausch des Fachwerkeinsatzes in Abhängigkeit der zu transportierenden Flaschen- oder Dosengrößen und darüber hinaus auch noch die Möglichkeit, die jeweiligen Flaschen- bzw. Dosengrößen im Getränkeverbund und als Einzelflaschen sicher zu transportieren.In contrast to a fixed integrated in the bottle crate truss bottle invention also allows the replacement of the truss insert against another truss use with suitable and matched to the bottle crate guide elements so as to use the bottle crate for other bottle sizes and numbers. Thus, the bottle crate according to the invention on the one hand allows the replacement of the truss use depending on the transported bottle or can sizes and above In addition, there is also the possibility of safely transporting the respective bottle or can sizes in the beverage network and as individual bottles.
Die Austauschbarkeit des Fachwerkeinsatzes hat ferner den Vorteil, dass bei Beschädigung des Fachwerks nicht der gesamte Flaschenkasten, sondern lediglich der Fachwerkeinsatz ausgetauscht werden kann, wodurch Kosten eingespart werden können. Ferner sind der Flaschenkasten und der Fachwerkeinsatz als separate Teile leichter zu fertigen als ein integriertes Bauteil.The interchangeability of the truss use also has the advantage that in case of damage to the truss not the entire bottle crate, but only the truss can be replaced, which costs can be saved. Furthermore, the bottle crate and truss as a separate parts are easier to manufacture than an integrated component.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung sind das erste Führungspaar, welches das Absenken bis zum Flaschenkastenboden ermöglicht, und das zweite Führungspaar, welches das Absenken nur bis zu einer vorbestimmten Höhe ermöglicht, asymmetrisch ausgebildet. Das Innenprofil des Flaschenkastens und/oder das Außenprofil des Fachwerkeinsatzes können somit asymmetrisch ausgebildet sein. Durch die Asymmetrie der Führungspaarungen wirken je nach Ausrichtung des Fachwerkeinsatzes unterschiedliche Führungspaare zusammen. Somit ist es nicht notwendig, am Flaschenkasten oder am Fachwerkeinsatz irgendwelche Veränderungen vorzunehmen, um die Höhenverstellung des Fachwerkeinsatzes zu ermöglichen. Diese Höhenverstellung basiert allein auf der Drehung oder Wendung desselben Fachwerkeinsatzes.According to one aspect of the invention, the first guide pair, which allows the lowering to the bottle case bottom, and the second guide pair, which allows the lowering only up to a predetermined height, are formed asymmetrically. The inner profile of the bottle crate and / or the outer profile of the truss insert can thus be designed asymmetrically. Due to the asymmetry of the guide pairings, different pairs of guides act together, depending on the orientation of the truss insert. Thus, it is not necessary to make any changes to the bottle crate or truss used to allow the height adjustment of the truss insert. This height adjustment is based solely on the rotation or turn of the same truss use.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann das erste Führungspaar durch ein erstes fachwerkseitiges Führungselement und ein bis zum Flaschenkastenboden reichendes erstes kastenseitiges Führungselement gebildet werden. Ferner kann das zweite Führungspaar durch das erste oder ein zweites fachwerkseitiges Führungselement und ein nur bis zur vorbestimmten Höhenposition reichendes zweites kastenseitiges Führungselement gebildet werden. Somit ermöglichen die fachwerk- und kastenseitigen Führungselemente nicht nur eine vertikale Führung des Fachwerkeinsatzes beim Anheben oder Absenken, sondern begrenzen zugleich den Freiheitsgrad des Fachwerkeinsatzes im Flaschenkasten. So kann die Höhenbegrenzung allein durch die Ausgestaltung der kastenseitigen Führungselemente realisiert werden.According to one aspect of the invention, the first guide pair may be formed by a first truss-side guide element and a first box-side guide element extending to the bottle case bottom. Furthermore, the second guide pair can be formed by the first or a second framework-side guide element and a second box-side guide element reaching only up to the predetermined height position. Thus, the truss and box side guide elements not only allow vertical guidance of the truss insert when raising or lowering, but also limit the degree of freedom of the truss insert in the bottle crate. Thus, the height limit can be realized solely by the design of the box-side guide elements.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung weist das erste fachwerkseitige Führungselement einen an einer Umfangs- bzw. Außenseite des Fachwerkeinsatzes oder an einer Innenseite bzw. Innenfläche einer Pinolenaufnahme des Fachwerkeinsatzes ausgebildeten Führungszapfen oder Führungsvorsprung auf. Die kastenseitigen Führungselemente können entsprechend in Form und Position komplementär am Flaschenkasten ausgebildet sein. So kann das erste kastenseitige Führungselement ein an einer Seiteninnenwand oder einer Pinole des Flaschenkastens ausgebildete und bis zum Flaschenkastenboden reichende erste kastenseitige Führungsnut aufweisen. Das zweite kastenseitige Führungselement kann eine an einer Seiteninnenwand oder einer Pinole des Flaschenkastens ausgebildete und nur bis zur vorbestimmten Höhenposition reichende zweite Führungsnut aufweisen. Dabei wirkt in der ersten Ausrichtung des Fachwerkeinsatzes der fachwerkseitige Führungszapfen oder -vorsprung mit der kastenseitigen ersten Führungsnut zusammen bzw. greift in diese ein und in der zweiten Ausrichtung des Fachwerkeinsatzes wirkt der fachwerkseitige Führungszapfen oder -vorsprung mit der kastenseitigen zweiten Führungsnut zusammen oder greift in diese ein. Alternativ können Führungszapfen oder -vorsprünge kastenseitig ausgebildet sein und die entsprechenden Führungsnuten fachwerkseitig ausgebildet sein, sofern sichergestellt ist, dass der Fachwerkeinsatz in Abhängigkeit von dessen Ausrichtung in unterschiedliche Höhenpositionen gebracht werden kann.According to one aspect of the invention, the first truss-side guide element has a guide pin or guide projection formed on a peripheral or outer side of the truss insert or on an inner side or inner surface of a quill receptacle of the truss insert. The box-side guide elements can be designed correspondingly in shape and position complementary to the bottle crate. Thus, the first box-side guide element may have a first box-side guide groove formed on a side inner wall or quill of the bottle crate and extending to the bottle case bottom. The second box-side guide element may have a formed on a side inner wall or quill of the bottle crate and only reaching to the predetermined height position second guide groove. In the first orientation of the truss use, the truss-side guide pin or projection cooperates with or engages the box-side first guide groove and, in the second alignment of the trussed insert, the truss-side guide pin or projection interacts with or engages with the box-side second guide groove one. Alternatively, guide pins or projections may be formed on the box side and the corresponding guide grooves formed lattice-side, if it is ensured that the truss can be placed in different height positions depending on its orientation.
Solche Führungszapfen oder -vorsprünge bzw. Führungsnuten sind fertigungstechnisch leicht herzustellen, so dass mit geringem Aufwand ein vielfältig einsetzbarer Flaschenkasten bereitgestellt werden kann.Such guide pins or protrusions or guide grooves are easy to produce in terms of production, so that a versatile bottle crate can be provided with little effort.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung reicht die erste und/oder zweite Führungsnut nicht bis zum oberen Flaschenkastenrand. Anders gesagt laufen die Führungsnuten nach oben hin nicht aus, sondern sind geschlossen. Dadurch kann sichergestellt werden, dass der Fachwerkeinsatz nicht aus den Führungen bzw. dem Flaschenkasten rutscht, wenn dieser z. B. zu Reinigungszwecken auf den Kopf gestellt wird. Zum Entnehmen des Fachwerkeinsatzes muss dieser lediglich etwas gekippt werden, so dass die entsprechenden Führungselemente freigegeben werden.According to one aspect of the invention, the first and / or second guide groove does not extend to the upper edge of the bottle crate. In other words, the guide grooves do not run upwards but are closed. This can ensure that the truss does not slip out of the guides or the bottle crate, if this z. B. is made for cleaning purposes upside down. To remove the truss insert this must only be tilted slightly, so that the corresponding guide elements are released.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung weist der Fachwerkeinsatz auf einer ersten Seite eine flache Auflagefläche und auf einer gegenüberliegenden Seite zwischen den Aufnahmeöffnungen bzw. Flaschennestern ausgebildete Einführschrägen auf. So kann in der ersten Ausrichtung des Fachwerkeinsatzes die flache Auflagefläche nach oben weisen bzw. die Einführschrägen nach unten weisen und in der zweiten Ausrichtung die Einführschrägen nach oben weisen und die flache Auflagefläche nach unten bzw. zum Flaschenboden hin weisen. Wenn mit dem Flaschenkasten in Kartonagen verpackte Getränkeverbünde transportiert werden sollen, muss das Fachwerk eine entsprechende flache oder ebene Auflagefläche bieten. Um andererseits das Einstellen von Einzelflaschen in das Fachwerk zu erleichtern, ist es hilfreich, wenn der Fachwerkeinsatz entsprechende Einführschrägen aufweist. Durch die Abstimmung der Führungspaare mit der Oberflächengestaltung des Fachwerkeinsatzes kann erreicht werden, dass in der bis zum Boden abgesenkten Position des Fachwerkeinsatzes die flache Auflagefläche für die Getränkeverbünde nach oben weist und in der angehobenen Position die Einführschrägen zum Einstellen der Einzelflaschen nach oben weisen.According to one aspect of the invention, the truss used on a first side of a flat support surface and on an opposite side formed between the receiving openings or bottle nests insertion bevels. Thus, in the first orientation of the truss insert the flat support surface facing up or have the insertion slopes down and in the second orientation, the insertion slopes facing up and the flat bearing surface down or to the bottom of the bottle have. If beverage containers packaged in cartons are to be transported with the bottle crate, the truss must offer a corresponding flat or level bearing surface. On the other hand, to facilitate the setting of individual bottles in the truss, it is helpful if the truss has corresponding insertion bevels. By coordinating the pairs of guides with the surface design of the truss use can be achieved that in the lowered position to the ground of the truss insert, the flat support surface for the beverage associations facing up and in the raised position, the insertion bevels for adjusting the bottles have upwards.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann die Oberfläche des Flaschenkastenbodens im Wesentlichen komplementär zu der zweiten Seite des Fachwerkeinsatzes bzw. zur Seite, welche die Einführschrägen aufweist, ausgebildet sein. Diese können durch Erhabenheiten, etwa hervorstehende Stege oder Rippen ausgebildet sein. Die Stege können dabei aufeinander zu laufen und die Erhabenheit an einer einzigen oder mehren Stellen erzwingen. Beispielsweise können sie pyramidenähnlich ausgebildet und ausgerichtet sein. Sie definieren dabei zumindest theoretische Schrägen und/oder Flächen zur Rutschrichtungsvorgabe / Rutschführung der Gebinde, wie Flaschen. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass der Fachwerkeinsatz flächig am Flaschenkastenboden und nicht nur auf den Einführschrägen aufliegt. Ferner kann durch der Fachwerkeinsatz auch weiter im Flaschenkasten abgesenkt werden.According to one aspect of the invention, the surface of the bottle crate bottom may be formed substantially complementary to the second side of the truss insert or to the side, which has the insertion bevels. These can be formed by sublime, protruding ridges or ribs. The webs can run towards each other and enforce the grandeur at a single or multiple sites. For example, they may be pyramid-shaped and aligned. They define at least theoretical bevels and / or surfaces for slip direction setting / slide guidance of the containers, such as bottles. This ensures that the truss used rests flat on the bottle case bottom and not only on the insertion bevels. Furthermore, it can also be lowered by the truss in the bottle crate.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung ist der Fachwerkeinsatz in der vorbestimmten Höhenposition und/oder der auf den Flaschenkastenboden abgesenkten Position feststellbar. Auch wenn über die Führungspaare der Fachwerkeinsatz in der vorbestimmten Höhe oder am Flaschenkastenboden allein durch die Schwerkraft verbleibt, kann es in manchen Situationen vorteilhaft sein, wenn der Fachwerkeinsatz in einer oder beiden Positionen arretierbar ist. Dies ist z. B. der Fall, wenn der Flaschenkasten zum Reinigen auf den Kopf gestellt werden muss. Darüber hinaus kann auch sichergestellt werden, dass der Fachwerkeinsatz beim Transport in seiner gewünschten Position bleibt, z. B. wenn der Flaschenkasten beim Tragen gekippt wird. Die lösbare Arretierung des Fachwerkeinsatzes in einer bestimmten Position kann mittels Verriegelungs- oder Verrastungsmechanismen erzielt werden.According to one aspect of the invention, the truss is detectable in the predetermined height position and / or lowered to the bottle case bottom position. Even if on the guide pairs of truss use in the predetermined height or the bottle crate floor by gravity alone In some situations, it may be advantageous if the truss insert can be locked in one or both positions. This is z. As is the case when the bottle crate must be turned upside down for cleaning. In addition, it can also be ensured that the truss used remains in its desired position during transport, z. B. when the bottle case is tilted while wearing. The releasable locking of the truss insert in a certain position can be achieved by means of locking or Verrastungsmechanismen.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung weist das Fachwerk zumindest ein Verriegelungs- oder Verrastungselement auf, das zumindest mit einer entsprechenden im Flaschenkasten ausgebildeten Verriegelungs- oder Rastgeometrie formschlüssig zusammenwirken kann, wenn der Fachwerkeinsatz in die vorbestimmte Höhenposition oder die abgesenkte Position gebracht wird.According to one aspect of the invention, the truss has at least one locking or latching element, which can cooperate form-fitting at least with a corresponding formed in the bottle crate locking or locking geometry when the truss is placed in the predetermined height position or the lowered position.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann die Verriegelung oder Verrastung selbsttätig erfolgen, so dass man auf irgendwelche Handgriffe zum Verriegeln des Fachwerkeinsatzes verzichten kann. Hierfür kann gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung ein fachwerkseitiges und/oder flaschenkastenseitiges Verriegelungselement federelastisch vorgespannt sein. Die Vorspannung kann in Querrichtung des Flaschenkastens erfolgen. Über die federelastische Vorspannung kann die Verriegelungskraft bzw. die Entriegelungskraft eingestellt werden, so dass der Fachwerkeinsatz auch wieder entriegelt werden kann, ohne spezielle Handgriffe.According to one aspect of the invention, the locking or locking can be done automatically, so that you can do without any handles for locking the truss insert. For this purpose, according to one aspect of the invention, a truss-side and / or bottle box-side locking element can be resiliently biased. The bias can be done in the transverse direction of the bottle crate. About the resilient bias, the locking force and the unlocking force can be adjusted so that the truss can also be unlocked again, without special operations.
Um ein versehentliches Lösen aufgrund von Stößen auf den Fachwerkeinsatz zu verhindern, kann die Verriegelung der Gestalt sein, dass die Verriegelung selbsttätig erfolgt, wenn der Fachwerkeinsatz in die bestimmte Position gebracht wird, jedoch nur durch manuelles Betätigen des einen oder der mehreren Verriegelungselemente entriegelt werden kann.To prevent inadvertent disengagement due to impacts on the truss insert, the latch may be of the form that locking occurs automatically when the truss is moved to the specified position, but can only be unlocked by manual actuation of the one or more latch members ,
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung kann das zumindest eine fachwerkseitige Verriegelungselement als eine vorspringende Federlasche ausgebildet sein, die in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung, die am Flaschenkasten vorgesehen ist, eingreift. Diese Ausnehmung kann an einer vom Flaschenkastenboden vorspringenden Führungssäule bzw. Pinole ausgebildet sein und/oder an einem oder mehreren Seitenwandabschnitten des Flaschenkastens ausgebildet sein.According to one aspect of the invention, the at least one lattice-side locking element may be formed as a projecting spring tab, which engages in a corresponding recess which is provided on the bottle crate. This recess may be at a projecting from the bottle case bottom guide column Pinole be formed and / or be formed on one or more side wall portions of the bottle crate.
Anstelle von Verriegelungselementen können auch entsprechende Verrastungselemente und -geometrien an den entsprechenden Bauteilen vorgesehen sein.Instead of locking elements and corresponding latching elements and geometries can be provided on the corresponding components.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung wird das zumindest eine Verriegelungselement bzw. das zumindest eine Verrastungselement selbsttätig entriegelt oder freigegeben, wenn eine vorbestimmte Kraft auf den Fachwerkeinsatz in Höhenrichtung aufgebracht wird. Dadurch kann der Anwender den Fachwerkeinsatz durch ledigliches Hochziehen oder Niederdrücken in unterschiedliche Positionen bringen. Da der Fachwerkeinsatz im normalen Einsatz viel öfter abgesenkt und angehoben wird als ganz aus dem Flaschenkasten entnommen wird, kann das Zusammenwirken der Verriegelungs- bzw. Verrastungselemente in der vorbestimmten Höhenposition derart abgestimmt werden, dass die Kraft zum Freigeben des Fachwerkeinsatzes in Absenkungsrichtung kleiner als die notwendige Kraft zum Freigeben des Fachwerkeinsatzes in Anhebungsrichtung bzw. Herausnahmerichtung ist. Dadurch kann sichergestellt werden, dass beim Hochziehen des Fachwerkeinsatzes dieser nicht versehentlich ganz aus dem Flaschenkasten herausgenommen wird. Alternativ kann die Verriegelung der Gestalt sein, dass zum Herausnehmen des Fachwerkeinsatzes die Verriegelungselemente manuell betätigt werden müssen, während zum Absenken des Fachwerkeinsatzes lediglich eine vorbestimmte Entriegelungskraft auf den Fachwerkeinsatz aufgebracht werden muss und die Verriegelungselemente selbsttätig den Fachwerkeinsatz freigeben.According to one aspect of the invention, the at least one locking element or the at least one locking element is automatically unlocked or released when a predetermined force is applied to the truss in the vertical direction. This allows the user to bring the half-timbered insert by simply pulling up or down in different positions. Since the half-timbered insert is lowered and raised much more often than is completely removed from the bottle crate, the interaction of the locking or Verrastungselemente in the predetermined height position can be adjusted so that the force to release the truss in the lowering direction smaller than the necessary Force to release the truss use in lifting direction or take-out direction is. This can ensure that when pulling up the truss insert this is not accidentally removed completely from the bottle crate. Alternatively, the lock may be of the shape that for removing the truss insert the locking elements must be manually operated, while lowering the truss insert only a predetermined unlocking force must be applied to the truss and the locking elements automatically release the truss use.
Ein zusätzlicher oder eigenständiger Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft einen Satz von erfindungsgemäßen Fachwerkeinsätzen, wobei die Fachwerkeinsätze identische Verriegelungs- oder Verrastungselemente aufweisen und sich in Anzahl und Größe der Öffnungen oder Ausnehmungen zur Aufnahme von Flaschen und Dosen unterscheiden. Durch die Verwendung standardgemäßer Verriegelungs- und Führungsabschnitte können diese mit dem gleichen Flaschenkasten verwendet werden, um so den Flaschenkasten an unterschiedliche Flaschengröße anzupassen.An additional or independent aspect of the invention relates to a set of truss inserts according to the invention, wherein the truss inserts have identical locking or latching elements and differ in number and size of the openings or recesses for receiving bottles and cans. By using standard locking and guiding sections, these can be used with the same bottle crate to adapt the bottle crate to different bottle sizes.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung können die Einsätze in Abhängigkeit von Anzahl und/oder Größe der Flaschenaufnahme unterschiedlich gestaltet sein, wodurch es zu weniger Verwechselungen beim Austauschen der Fachwerkeinsätze kommt.According to one aspect of the invention, the inserts may be designed differently depending on the number and / or size of the bottle receptacle, resulting in less confusion when replacing the truss inserts.
Ein vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel ist auch dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Fachwerkeinsatz Einführschrägen oder Einführstege / -rippen zum Zentrieren von Gebinden, wie Flaschen, aufweist.An advantageous embodiment is also characterized in that the truss insert insertion bevels or Einführstege / ribs for centering of containers, such as bottles, has.
Auch ist es von Vorteil, wenn das zumindest eine Verriegelungselement als ein vom Fachwerkeinsatz und dem den Flaschenkasten ausformenden Material separates Bauteil ausgebildet ist, welches vorzugsweise unter Vorspannung zwischen dem Fachwerkeinsatz und dem Flaschenkasten eingesetzt ist.It is also advantageous if the at least one locking element is designed as a separate component from the truss and the material forming the bottle crate, which is preferably inserted under bias between the truss and the bottle crate.

Bei dem Fachwerkeinsatz 10 handelt es sich um ein separat zum Flaschenkasten 2 hergestelltes Bauteil, das von oben in den Flaschenkasten 2 eingesetzt und auch wieder aus diesem herausgenommen werden kann. Flaschenkasten 2 und Fachwerkeinsatz 10 können aus Kunststoff, insbesondere im Spritzgießverfahren, herstellt sein.When the
Der Fachwerkeinsatz 10 ist an den beiden gegenüberliegenden langen Seitenwänden 6 vertikal geführt und zu den beiden gegenüberliegenden kurzen Seitenwänden 8 etwas beabstandet. An der Innenseite 16 der langen Seitenwände 6 sind mehrere Führungsnuten 18, 20 und 22 ausgebildet. Diese Führungsnuten 18, 20 und 22 werden mit Bezug auf die

Es ist auch möglich, dass verriegelnde Vorsprünge an einer Wandung des Flaschenkastens 2 in gegengleiche Ausnehmungen dieser Wandung zugewandten Seite des Fachwerkeinsatzes 10 vorhanden sind und dadurch das Verriegelungsprinzip umgekehrt wird. Diese Prinzipumkehr ist jedoch in den Figuren nicht wiedergegeben.It is also possible that locking projections on a wall of the
Zu beachten ist, dass die langen Führungsnuten 20 und die kurzen Führungsnuten 22 auf der gegenüberliegenden langen Seitenwand 6 genau anders herum ausgebildet sind, so dass, wenn der Fachwerkeinsatz 10 in der Ausrichtung, wie sie in der
Die langen und kurzen Führungsnuten 20, 22 sind etwas hinterschnitten und haben ein T-Profil, so dass die beispielsweise entsprechend T-förmig ausgebildeten Vorsprünge 30 in den Führungsnuten 20 und 22 zwar vertikal beweglich, aber in Querrichtung gefangen sind. Die T-Förmigkeit ist optional und in den Figuren nicht visualisiert. Diese Führungsnuten 20 und 22 können alternativ auch rund, eckig oder schwalbenschwanzförmig ausgebildet sind. In dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel laufen die langen und kurzen Führungsnuten 20, 22 nach oben offen aus. Alternativ hierzu können eine oder mehrere der Nuten 20, 22 auch oben am Flaschenkastenrand 24 geschlossen sein, so dass der Fachwerkeinsatz 10 nur durch leichtes Kippen aus dem Flaschenkasten 2 herausgenommen werden kann.The long and

Es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass das Zusammenspiel von Nut und Vorsprung auch derart sein kann, dass die Nut am Fachwerkeinsatz vorhanden ist und der Vorsprung an einer Innenwandung des Flaschenkastens ausgebildet ist.It should be noted that the interaction of groove and projection can also be such that the groove is present on the truss insert and the projection is formed on an inner wall of the bottle crate.
Auch ist es möglich, dass ein separates Bauteil sowohl in Nuten des Fachwerkeinsatzes als auch in Nuten des Flaschenkastens eingreift.It is also possible that a separate component engages both in grooves of the truss insert as well as in grooves of the bottle crate.
In all diesen Fällen kann der Vorsprung T-förmig oder schwalbenschwanzartig ausgeformt sein. Gegengleiche Nuten ermöglichen dann einen Hinterschnitt und/oder ein Hintergreifen.In all these cases, the projection may be T-shaped or dovetail-shaped. Opposite grooves then allow an undercut and / or a grip behind.

Es wurden bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung beschrieben, jedoch sind diverse Abwandlungen innerhalb des Schutzbereichs, der durch die beigefügten Ansprüche definiert wird, möglich.Preferred embodiments of the invention have been described, but various modifications are possible within the scope defined by the appended claims.
So kann beispielsweise der Fachwerkeinsatz für eine größere Anzahl kleinerer Flaschen und auch für eine kleinere Anzahl größerer Flaschen ausgelegt sein. Solange die Außenabmessungen oder zumindest die Führungsabschnitte oder Verriegelungselemente entsprechend gleich gestaltet sind, können verschiedenste Fachwerkeinsätze mit dem gleichen beschriebenen Flaschenkasten verwendet werden.Thus, for example, the truss insert can be designed for a larger number of smaller bottles and also for a smaller number of larger bottles. As long as the outer dimensions or at least the guide portions or locking elements are designed according to the same, a variety of trusses can be used with the same described bottle crate.
Der Flaschenkasten 2 der ersten Ausführungsform ist sowohl für einen Fachwerkeinsatz 10 gemäß der ersten Ausführungsform als auch für einen Fachwerkeinsatz 50 der zweiten Ausführungsform ausgelegt. Der Flaschenkasten 2 kann jedoch auch nur für jeweils eine Ausführungsform ausgelegt sein, so dass z. B. bei der Verwendung des Fachwerkeinsatzes 10 die Hauptführungsnut 18 und die Ausnehmungen 26 und 28 und bei der Verwendung eines Fachwerkeinsatzes 50 die langen und kurzen Führungsnuten 20, 22 und die Fachwerkeinsätze 36 entfallen können. Darüber hinaus können die Merkmale auch anders kombiniert sein.The
