Definitions
- the invention relates to a bottle crate according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such boxes for holding individual bottles or multiple containers are usually equipped with sleeves in the box interior, wherein in particular in the corner regions of the boxes each quill is arranged centrally between four bottle compartments or parking spaces for individual bottles.
- each quill is arranged centrally between four bottle compartments or parking spaces for individual bottles.
- support threshold projections provided in the box interior next to the quills, which are also partly used as Halbpinolen.
- These swell-like support projections serve to hold the empty bottles set for the return transport, which are held either by the sleeves or such swell-like support projections (cf. WO 2010/055204 A1 ).
- Other quill boxes are from the DE 102004038615 A1 and the DE 7819399 U1 known.
- the holder of the set in such a bottle crate container is usually done by the intervention of centrally between four pitches arranged quills, which dive into corresponding openings in the bottom of the multiple package, in particular six packs, so that these quills with set six-packs between the bottles received in multiple packages are arranged.
- Such a grip on quills is quite problematic when carrying such cases by hand.
- these are usually held with one hand on the side, so that the bottle crates are in an inclined position, with the result that with appropriate Inclined position the bottle container can not be kept safe in the box and possibly also fall out, which can lead to breakage of the filled bottles of a container.
- the object of the invention is to provide crates, which are both for the setting of single bottles as well as multi-bottle packages, such as six-packs and the like, equipped and prevent this by simple construction measures a juxtaposition set individual bottles and at the same time allows stable reception of such Mehrflaschengebinden.
- eachwitneinstellplatz a bottle crate is bounded laterally by at least one box side wall and / or by at least two support members, which are arranged on the longitudinal and transverse sides of each pitch.
- the construction of such a box has the consequence that in the bottle receiving compartments used individual bottles are held securely on all four sides, which reduces the risk of abutment of the bottles set.
- the parking spaces which are arranged in the box interior and not adjacent to the box side walls, preferably each four mutually perpendicularly arranged support members used, which thus hold set of four sides bottles.
- two support members are used for the corner-side parking spaces and three support members arranged for the other on the box edge, so that at the adjacently arranged side walls parking spaces a stop by both the box side walls as well is ensured by arranged in the box interior support members.
- these support members which are arranged on the bottom of the box and project upwardly, arranged at a distance from each other and thereby isolated by intervals between each other and thus arranged alone and form between them the correspondingstationneauabmaschine. Due to this isolated arrangement or stand-alone arrangement of these support members both with an intermediate distance to the box walls and with intermediate portion to the adjacent support members also a setting of multi-bottle packaging is possible, wherein the support members dive into corresponding openings at the bottom of the multi-bottle container. This results in a very stable anchoring of the set Mehrflaschengebinde by a plurality of in the multiple container and between the bottles recorded therein supporting members.
- seven support members are present for setting six packs, which dive into corresponding bottom side openings when setting the container, so that the set container fixed over a total of seven, for example, support members and thus during transport of a bottle crate with recorded containers be kept safe in it.
- the holder of bottles placed in the bottle receiving compartments around all four sides of each pitch or each bottle receiving compartment set individual bottles are kept at a distance from each other, so that noise from clashing bottles are largely reduced.
- the support members are preferably provided centrally with through openings.
- these pass-through openings usually formed with a lower cylinder belly opposite the upper neck of the bottle thicker bottles something in the pass-through openings and thus immersed in the support members, which favors the maintenance of the bottles set by the support members, in particular by positive engagement.
- the support members which limit the bottle receiving compartments both in longitudinal rows parallel to the longitudinal walls as well as in this perpendicular transverse rows, parallel to the transverse walls, respectively arranged one behind the other and preferably each row in a common plane.
- the support members per parking space are mutually aligned vertically and thus provided on all four sides of each pitch inside the box, on two sides of the box corners and on three sides of the parking spaces, which are adjacent to the box side walls arranged.
- these two opposite and from the bottom upwardly projecting longitudinal webs which between them expediently limit the penetration opening.
- the support members by downwardly towards the bottom open support bracket, in particular U-, V- or C-shaped support bracket form.
- the support bracket it is expedient to connect the two longitudinal legs of the support bracket at the top and remote from the bottom of the box by a cross bar, which is particularly useful with regard to a stable design of the support members.
- the transverse webs arcuately, so with a rounding up, form.
- the formation of the support members in such a way that they taper towards the top has a thickness of 0.3 to 1.5, preferably 0.3 to a maximum of 1 mm, which facilitates the immersion of the support members in adjusting the container.
- the bottles received in the container pressed apart with the result that favors the stable absorption of the container in the bottle crate and the setting of the container is facilitated.
- the opposite end faces of support members in particular the opposite end faces of each transverse web with a particular inwardly directed rounding in adaptation to the cylinder belly of the bottles to be adjusted.
- the rounding at the two end faces of each support member between the two longitudinal limbs of the support member, in particular in the region of the transverse web and that between the two longitudinal limbs.
- the longitudinal webs with inwardly projecting ribs as stop shoulders, which limit the immersion of bottles set in the access openings of the support members, so that the bottles set in adjacent compartments can not come into contact with each other.
- rib formation in the region of the longitudinal limbs, in particular over the length of the legs extending ribs also the rigidity of the support members can be increased.
- the support members are connected to a substantially horizontally extending transverse web.
- the transverse webs are provided at their upper edge with a downwardly shaped, preferably downwardly rounded indentation.
- the longitudinal webs protrude with their upper ends on the cross bar.
- the upper ends of the longitudinal webs taper, in particular these are formed pointed at their upper ends, so that they form plug-in tips that facilitate the insertion or placing amaschineskartonage.
- the bottle crate can be made in one piece with the support members made of plastic, in particular by injection molding of plastic.
- the support members it is preferable to manufacture the support members separately, again in particular from plastic, preferably by injection molding. These can then be used separately in complementary openings at the bottom of a bottle crate, preferably with a plug-in seat.
- a stop shoulder is preferably provided in the lower region of the longitudinal webs, which may be formed in a flange.
- a downwardly extending plug-in part in particular in the form of a circumferential plug-in skirt, is provided at the lower end of the stop shoulder.
- the two longitudinal webs may extend, resulting in an overall very rigid structure of the support members.
- the support members may be formed as a solid profile or as a hollow profile, wherein in the case of the hollow profile formation, the formation of the hollow profiles by gas or water injection can be carried out expediently.
- partial walls may be provided in the box, which subdivide the compartment interior of a bottle crate formed from four circumferentially arranged side walls into at least two areas. These partial walls then also serve to support the set individual bottles and the six-packs from the side.
- a box can be divided by a continuous partition in two halves.
- corresponding multi-packs can be set in each box half, in particular each half, for example, three 4-packs or 8-pack and 4-pack.
- Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a corner region of a partially illustrated bottle crate 2, which shows a box bottom 4 and circumferentially arranged side walls 6 in a conventional manner.
- the side walls 6 are shown in the illustration Fig. 1 shown only with shortened side walls to better represent the facial expressions provided in the box inner support members, which are arranged on the box bottom 4.
- the side walls are made higher, that is, the side walls would in the case of a so-called low box, for example, approximately the height of the support members still described below and in the preferred application of high-sideboards sidewall height, which are higher than the bottles or containers to be placed in the boxes , Incidentally, the serves in Fig.
- bottle crate for selectively receiving single bottles as well as bottle packs, such as six-packs or the like, so containers that take in particular in a Kartonageumverpackung each a group of bottles.
- bottle packs often called multiple packs, can hold four, six, eight or even more bottles, but six packs are the most common bottle pack.
- Such multiple or multi-bottle packs are usually formed from cardboard, but also packs are used, which are made of plastic films.
- the Indian Fig. 1 illustrated bottle crate serves for example for receiving six packs as well as for receiving individual bottles, including a number of support members 8 is arranged on the bottom of the box 4 and the support surface of the box. These support members 8 form between themselves but also between the longitudinal and / or transverse side walls 2a, 2b bottle places 10th
- Fig. 1 the footprint 12 of a bottle container set in such a box is shown in dashed lines, wherein the dashed lines represent, so to speak, the floor plan of such a six-pack.
- a total of seven support members 8 are provided and formed from in series successively arranged support members 8a, 8b and 8c, which extend in the middle of the footprint 12 for the container and parallel to the longitudinal wall 2a.
- four further support members 8d, 8e, 8f and 8g are again provided in relation to the footprint 12 for receiving a six-pack, in two rows with two support members 8, these support members 8d to 8g parallel to the transverse walls 2b and thus are aligned perpendicular to the longitudinal walls 2a.
- the in-line support members are each arranged along a common plane and in a plane either parallel to the transverse wall or parallel to the longitudinal wall.
- the support members 8 are in each case arranged on the sides of the parking spaces 10 and bound each other and / or with the longitudinal and transverse walls corresponding parking spaces 10, which serve to receive individual bottles, which in addition on the support members 10 and in rand mineraler arrangement by the longitudinal and transverse walls are supported. It goes without saying that each longitudinal row of support members and each transverse row of support members, of course, far more than those in the partial representation of a bottle crate after Fig. 1 shown supporting members in a corresponding orientation, which is solely dependent on the size and capacity for receiving bottles and containers of the bottle crate.
- the support members 8 are each arranged alone on the bottom of the box 4, namely insulated from one another by intermediate distances. This is because the support members engage in setting a container in accordance with slot-like openings provided the bottom of the container and otherwise have to have the side walls of the container space between adjacent support members, so that they can be adjusted accordingly in the bottle crate. Depending on the size and capacity of such a bottle crate several longitudinal rows and transverse rows are arranged with successively arranged support members parallel to the longitudinal walls and transverse walls.
- the arranged on the sides of the bottle shelves 10 support members have in the illustrated embodiment, each in the central region on a through-opening 14, in which to a small extent each set in a bottle storage compartment formed by a parking space bottle so that they are held by the support members 8 accordingly is.
- the passage openings 14 in this case extend from the top of the bottom up to the upper region of the support members 8.
- the illustrated support members are suitably in the form of a support bracket 16, according to Fig. 1 down to the bottom 4 towards open, is formed of two longitudinal legs in the form of longitudinal webs 17 and a transverse web 18 which connects the upper ends of the two longitudinal webs 17 together.
- the longitudinal webs 17 extend from the bottom 4 from vertically upwards, which is not mandatory, but the bracket can also be V- or C-shaped, with the result that the longitudinal webs directed at a slight angle obliquely inward can be arranged.
- the thus formed support members 8 extend from the bottom upwards in a height which preferably corresponds to about 1/2 to 2/3 of the height of the bottles to be adjusted.
- the support members 8 at their respective end faces 10 oriented to the faces in each case inwardly directed surface rounding 20, which is formed in the illustrated embodiment significantly in the region of the transverse webs 18 and thus in particular between the opposite longitudinal webs 16 of the support members.
- the rounding is adapted to the bottle belly of the bottle to be adjusted and facilitates the insertion of the bottles.
- the support members 8 taper towards the top, that is to the upper edge of the transverse webs 18, which on the one hand facilitates the insertion of the individual bottles to be adjusted, but on the other hand, the immersion of the support members 8 in the corresponding openings at the bottom of the reusable containers, in to adjust the bottle crate.
- each of the parking spaces facing end faces of the support members 8 form a semi-circular, vertically upwardly extending profile for the bottle setting.
- Fig. 1 the U-shaped support brackets resemble the shape of a Gothic arch.
- the support bracket instead of an arc shape may be in the form of a rectangular arc.
- Other embodiments of the support members are possible.
- the longitudinal webs 17 and the crossbar 18 may each be designed as a solid wall or material saving as a hollow profile, which would then be open in particular down to facilitate the production of such a bottle crate by injection molding of plastic in a simple manner.
- the bottle case bottom 4 in the region of the support bracket 16, in particular between the two longitudinal limbs each having an opening 22, which are available for corresponding mandrels. This also results in an open structuring of the bottle case bottom 4, wherein, like Fig. 1 shows, in the middle of the parking space also an opening can be provided in each case, resulting in a corresponding saving of material for the bottle crate.
- each support member 8 at their opposite end faces inwardly projecting ribs 24, which limit the penetration of the bottles set.
- the webs may also have further ribs for the purpose of stiffening, which may be arranged over the circumference.
- these support members 8 spacers between the bottles to be adjusted and support the set bottles from in such a way that the bottle diameter of the bottles set do not touch and thus a hitting the bottles during transport and an associated noise can be prevented.
- the support members are reduced to a minimum wall thickness at the top and preferably to wall thicknesses preferably in the range between 0.3 mm and 1.5 mm, advantageously 0.3 to 1.0 mm facilitates the insertion of the bottles.
- This also applies to the setting of the six-packs, since the spacers are pushed apart slightly by the spacers.
- the contour of the support bracket with longitudinal webs, rounding in the crossbar and central access opening fits in a sense the diameter the bottle to be adjusted, especially the bottle belly, so that a very good hold of the bottles set is ensured by the support members.
- the support members thus serve on the one hand as spacers for the bottles to be adjusted but also as supports for the reusable containers to be set, as is apparent from Fig. 1 clearly shows where the right bottom of the rickety floor of another six-pack is clarified.
- the support members are arranged in the central region of the sides of the bottle shelves 10 and preferably over a width between 2/5 and half the width of a side wall surface, in particular a width between 1/2 and 2/3 of the side of each pitch 10.
- Wie Fig. 1 shows the support members 8 expediently pointed upwards, thereby facilitating the insertion of the bottle container, since the support members 8 engage in corresponding cutouts or openings in the bottom of the bottle container when setting the container.
- Fig. 2 shows a purely exemplary and purely schematic representation of a plan view of a portion of the bottle crate analog Fig. 1 , wherein the rectangular border in Fig. 2 only schematically represent a portion of the bottom 4.
- the support members 8a to 8g for a six-pack recording.
- Fig. 2 shows very clearly the taper of the support members upwards and also the two-sided and inwardly directed curves 20 at the two opposite end faces of each support member, shown here on the support member 8a.
- the slimming of the longitudinal webs and the tapers upwards to a thin crosspiece 18 can be seen, which forms, so to speak, an immersion tip for the adjusting bottle bundles.
- FIG. 3 Also from Fig. 3 is the upwardly tapered training of the support members as well as the two opposite curves for each support member, shown here at the centrally arranged support member 8b, wherein Fig. 3 the left corner of the bottle crate analog Fig. 1 represents.
- Fig. 1 shows Fig. 3 a box with an open structured floor.
- the inwardly projecting ribs 24 on the opposite longitudinal limbs of each support member clearly visible, here in particular with respect to the support member 8d.
- the longitudinal limbs of the here arcuately shaped support members have a T-profile in cross-section.
- Fig. 4 shows a further embodiment of a bottle crate with corresponding facial expressions of the preceding figures, but now with a central subdivision of the box through a centrally provided partition wall 26, which is also provided in the illustrated embodiment with a center handle 28. It goes without saying that this, of course, is not mandatory, since, as the perspective view in Fig. 4 readily recognizes corresponding handle openings 30 are provided on the two opposite narrow side walls, which serve to support the box.
- the in Fig. 4 illustrated box with the facial expressions according to the preceding figures is used to hold four six-packs and thus to accommodate a total of 24 bottles.
- the partial wall 26 serves as a side wall for the four compartments for adjusting the six-pack, so has the same support function as the side walls 6 of the box.
- the partial wall 26 is parallel to the two longitudinal side walls 6 and divides the box into two long slanted halves, each half two six-packs can be added.
- mimicry of the support members shown is also the inclusion of three four-packs per box half or the inclusion of a respective 8-pack and a 4-pack in each box half due to the cross members and each side of theelectricneinstellden arranged support members.
- Fig. 5 shows an expedient embodiment of a support member 8.
- the support member 8 is, as readily Fig. 5 shows, formed as a U-shaped support bracket 16 and thus has two in the example shown vertically standing longitudinal webs 17, which define the passage opening 14 between them.
- Fig. 5 clearly shows a variant with oppositely arranged web-like ribs 24 which project from the two longitudinal webs 17 approximately centrally inwardly in the direction of the through-opening 14 and in the illustrated embodiment stop shoulders limit the penetration of the cylinder bellies of bottles set. It goes without saying that when these mutually facing ribs 24 are omitted, moreover, the longitudinal webs 17 serve as stop shoulders for the bottles set and prevent contact between bottles which are set in adjacent bottle setting positions.
- Fig. 5 also shows the rounding 20 in the end face of the support member 8 and the taper of the support member upwards, so that, so to speak at the top, that is formed at the top of the support member 8 is an immersion tip for receiving the container by the support member.
- Out Fig. 5 are also more ribs on the outer surface of the longitudinal webs can be seen, which are designated 30 and serve to reinforce the longitudinal webs 17.

Abstract
Bei einem Flaschenkasten, der für die Einstellung von sowohl Einzelflaschen wie auch Mehrflaschenpacks ausgebildet ist, ist jeder Stellplatz seitlich durch mindestens eine Kastenseitenwand und nach oben vorspringende Stützglieder (8) begrenzt, die an den Längs- und Querseiten der Stellplätze voneinander isoliert angeordnet sind. In a bottle crate designed for the adjustment of both single bottles and multi-bottle packs, each pitch is bounded laterally by at least one box sidewall and upwardly projecting support members (8) which are isolated from each other at the longitudinal and lateral sides of the plots.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Flaschenkasten gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a bottle crate according to the preamble of claim 1.
Auf dem Getränkemarkt werden mehr und mehr Getränkeflaschen in kleineren und besser tragbaren Flaschengebinden verkauft und zwar in Flaschengebinden mit in der Regel vier bis acht darin aufgenommenen Flaschen. Am meisten gängig sind hierbei die sogenannten Sixpacks, also Flaschengebinde, die sechs Einzelflaschen aufnehmen. Als Material für derartige Flaschengebinde wird zumeist Karton aber auch Kunststoff verwendet.In the beverage market, more and more beverage bottles are being sold in smaller and more portable bottle containers, and indeed in bottle containers with generally four to eight bottles accommodated therein. Most common are the so-called six-packs, so bottle containers that accommodate six single bottles. As a material for such bottle containers mostly cardboard but also plastic is used.
Aus diesem Grund werden auf dem Getränkemarkt zunehmend Flaschenkästen bereitgestellt, die sowohl für den Transport von Einzelflaschen wie auch für die Aufnahme von derartigen Mehrfachgebinden, insbesondere Sixpacks, gerüstet sind. Dies vor allem deswegen, weil bei Auslieferung von Kästen für die Aufnahme von Sixpacks und dergleichen, es zweckmäßig ist, den ein- und denselben Kasten auch für den Rücktransport der leeren Einzelflaschen im Wege übliche Pfandsysteme zu verwenden.For this reason, increasingly in the beverage market crates are provided, both for the transport of individual bottles as well as for the inclusion of such Mehrfachgebinden, especially six-packs, are equipped. This is mainly because, in the delivery of boxes for receiving six-packs and the like, it is expedient to use the one and the same box also for the return transport of the empty single bottles in the way of usual deposit systems.
Derartige Kästen für die Aufnahme von Einzelflaschen oder Mehrfachgebinden sind zumeist im Kasteninneren mit Pinolen bestückt, wobei insbesondere in den Eckbereichen der Kästen jeweils eine Pinole mittig zwischen vier Flaschenabteile bzw. Einstellplätze für Einzelflaschen angeordnet ist. Je nach Art der Aufteilung der Flaschenkästen für die Aufnahme von Sixpacks oder anderen Flaschengebinden sind im Kasteninneren neben den Pinolen, die teilweise auch als Halbpinolen verwendet werden, stützschwellenartige Vorsprünge vorgesehen. Diese sind deswegen neben den Vollpinolen in derartigen Kisten erforderlich, da je nach Größe der Mehrfachgebinde eine Einstellung derartiger Gebinde nur möglich ist, falls auch in der Höhe reduzierte Stützvorsprünge vorhanden sind. Diese schwellenartigen Stützvorsprünge dienen dabei zur Halterung der für den Rücktransport eingestellten leeren Flaschen, die entweder durch die Pinolen oder derartige schwellenartige Stützvorsprünge gehalten werden (vgl. etwa
Bei dem Einstellen von Einzelflaschen in die Flascheneinstellplätze solcher Kästen, in denen jeweils mittig zwischen vier Flaschenaufnahmeabteilen eine Pinole oder ein stützschwellenartiger Vorsprung angeordnet ist, können sich allerdings diese nur über die Pinolen bzw. schwellenartigen Vorsprünge gehaltenen Flaschen einander berühren mit der Folge, dass bei einem transportbedingten Aneinanderschlagen der Flaschen eine sehr starke Geräuschentwicklung resultiert.In the setting of individual bottles in the Flascheneinstellplätze such boxes in each of which a quill or a support threshold-like projection is arranged centrally between four Flaschenaufnahmeabteilen, however, these only held on the quills or swell-like projections bottles can touch each other with the result that at a Transport-related clashing of the bottles results in a very strong noise.
Die Halterung der in einem solchen Flaschenkasten eingestellten Mehrflaschengebinde erfolgt in der Regel durch den Eingriff von mittig zwischen vier Stellplätzen angeordneten Pinolen, die in entsprechende Öffnungen im Boden des Mehrfachgebindes, insbesondere Sixpacks eintauchen, so dass diese Pinolen bei eingestellten Sixpacks zwischen den im Mehrfachgebinde aufgenommenen Flaschen angeordnet sind. Ein solcher Halt über Pinolen ist aber beim Tragen derartiger Kästen von Hand durchaus auch problematisch. Bei einem manuellen Tragen derartiger Kästen werden diese zumeist mit einer Hand an der Seite gehalten, so dass sich die Flaschenkästen in Schrägstellung befinden, mit der Folge, dass bei entsprechender Schrägstellung die Flaschengebinde nicht mehr sicher im Kasten gehalten werden und gegebenenfalls auch hinausfallen können, was zu einem Bruch der gefüllten Flaschen eines Gebindes führen kann.The holder of the set in such a bottle crate container is usually done by the intervention of centrally between four pitches arranged quills, which dive into corresponding openings in the bottom of the multiple package, in particular six packs, so that these quills with set six-packs between the bottles received in multiple packages are arranged. Such a grip on quills is quite problematic when carrying such cases by hand. In a manual carrying such boxes, these are usually held with one hand on the side, so that the bottle crates are in an inclined position, with the result that with appropriate Inclined position the bottle container can not be kept safe in the box and possibly also fall out, which can lead to breakage of the filled bottles of a container.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, Flaschenkästen zu schaffen, die sowohl für die Einstellung von Einzelflaschen wie auch Mehrflaschengebinden, wie etwa Sixpacks und dergleichen, gerüstet sind und hierbei durch einfache bauliche Maßnahmen ein Aneinanderschlagen eingestellter Einzelflaschen verhindern und zugleich eine stabile Aufnahme von derartigen Mehrflaschengebinden ermöglicht.The object of the invention is to provide crates, which are both for the setting of single bottles as well as multi-bottle packages, such as six-packs and the like, equipped and prevent this by simple construction measures a juxtaposition set individual bottles and at the same time allows stable reception of such Mehrflaschengebinden.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Anspruch 1 enthaltenen Merkmale gelöst. Zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind durch die in den Unteransprüchen enthaltenen Merkmale gekennzeichnet.This object is achieved by the features contained in claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized by the features contained in the subclaims.
Nach Maßgabe der Erfindung ist ein jeder Flascheneinstellplatz eines Flaschenkastens seitlich durch mindestens eine Kastenseitenwand und/oder durch mindestens zwei Stützglieder begrenzt, die an Längs- und Querseiten eines jeden Stellplatzes angeordnet sind. Der Aufbau eines solchen Kastens hat zur Folge, dass in die Flaschenaufnahmeabteile eingesetzte Einzelflaschen an allen vier Seiten sicher gehalten sind, was die Gefahr des Aneinanderstoßens der eingestellten Flaschen vermindert. Hierbei werden vorzugsweise an den Stellplätzen, die im Kasteninneren und nicht benachbart den Kastenseitenwänden angeordnet sind, vorzugsweise jeweils vier zueinander senkrecht angeordnete Stützglieder verwendet, die somit von vier Seiten her eingestellte Flaschen halten. Im Falle der Stellplätze, die benachbart der Seitenwände angeordnet sind, werden für die eckseitigen Stellplätze jeweils zwei Stützglieder und für die anderen am Kastenrand angeordneten Stellplätze jeweils drei Stützglieder verwendet, so dass bei den benachbart den Seitenwänden angeordneten Stellplätzen ein Halt sowohl durch die Kastenseitenwände wie auch durch im Kasteninneren angeordnete Stützglieder gewährleistet wird.According to the invention, each Flascheneinstellplatz a bottle crate is bounded laterally by at least one box side wall and / or by at least two support members, which are arranged on the longitudinal and transverse sides of each pitch. The construction of such a box has the consequence that in the bottle receiving compartments used individual bottles are held securely on all four sides, which reduces the risk of abutment of the bottles set. Here are preferably at the parking spaces, which are arranged in the box interior and not adjacent to the box side walls, preferably each four mutually perpendicularly arranged support members used, which thus hold set of four sides bottles. In the case of the parking spaces which are arranged adjacent to the side walls, two support members are used for the corner-side parking spaces and three support members arranged for the other on the box edge, so that at the adjacently arranged side walls parking spaces a stop by both the box side walls as well is ensured by arranged in the box interior support members.
Zweckmäßigerweise sind diese Stützglieder, die auf dem Kastenboden angeordnet sind und nach oben vorstehen, auf Abstand zueinander angeordnet und dadurch durch Zwischenabstände voneinander isoliert und damit alleinstehend angeordnet und bilden zwischen sich die entsprechenden Flaschenaufnahmeabteile. Aufgrund dieser isolierten Anordnung bzw. alleinstehenden Anordnung dieser Stützglieder sowohl mit Zwischenabstand zu den Kastenwänden sowie mit Zwischenabschnitt zu den benachbarten Stützgliedern ist auch eine Einstellung von Mehrflaschengebinden möglich, wobei die Stützglieder in entsprechende Öffnungen am Boden der Mehrflaschengebinde eintauchen. Dadurch ergibt sich eine sehr stabile Verankerung der eingestellten Mehrflaschengebinde durch eine Mehrzahl von in die Mehrfachgebinde und zwischen die dort aufgenommenen Flaschen greifenden Stützglieder.Conveniently, these support members which are arranged on the bottom of the box and project upwardly, arranged at a distance from each other and thereby isolated by intervals between each other and thus arranged alone and form between them the corresponding Flaschenaufnahmeabteile. Due to this isolated arrangement or stand-alone arrangement of these support members both with an intermediate distance to the box walls and with intermediate portion to the adjacent support members also a setting of multi-bottle packaging is possible, wherein the support members dive into corresponding openings at the bottom of the multi-bottle container. This results in a very stable anchoring of the set Mehrflaschengebinde by a plurality of in the multiple container and between the bottles recorded therein supporting members.
In einer praktikablen Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind beispielsweise für die Einstellung von Sixpacks sieben Stützglieder vorhanden, die beim Einstellen des Gebindes in entsprechende bodenseitige Öffnungen eintauchen, so dass das eingestellte Gebinde über insgesamt beispielsweise sieben Stützglieder fixiert und damit auch während des Transports eines Flaschenkastens mit aufgenommenen Gebinden darin sicher gehalten werden. Infolge der Halterung der in die Flaschenaufnahmeabteile eingestellten Flaschen rundum an allen vier Seiten eines jeden Stellplatzes bzw. eines jeden Flaschenaufnahmeabteils werden eingestellte Einzelflaschen auf Distanz zueinander gehalten, so dass Geräuschbildungen durch aneinanderschlagende Flaschen weitgehend reduziert sind.In a practical embodiment of the invention, for example, seven support members are present for setting six packs, which dive into corresponding bottom side openings when setting the container, so that the set container fixed over a total of seven, for example, support members and thus during transport of a bottle crate with recorded containers be kept safe in it. As a result of the holder of bottles placed in the bottle receiving compartments around all four sides of each pitch or each bottle receiving compartment set individual bottles are kept at a distance from each other, so that noise from clashing bottles are largely reduced.
Insbesondere ist es zweckmäßig, dass die Stützglieder vorzugsweise mittig mit Durchgriffsöffnungen versehen sind. In diese Durchgriffsöffnungen können die üblicherweise mit einem unteren Flaschenbauch gegenüber dem oberen Flaschenhals dicker ausgebildeten Flaschen etwas in die Durchgriffsöffnungen und damit in die Stützglieder eintauchen, was den Halt der eingestellten Flaschen durch die Stützglieder begünstigt, insbesondere durch Formschluss.In particular, it is expedient that the support members are preferably provided centrally with through openings. In these pass-through openings usually formed with a lower cylinder belly opposite the upper neck of the bottle thicker bottles something in the pass-through openings and thus immersed in the support members, which favors the maintenance of the bottles set by the support members, in particular by positive engagement.
Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Stützglieder, welche die Flaschenaufnahmeabteile begrenzen sowohl in Längsreihen parallel zu den Längswänden wie auch in hierzu senkrecht verlaufenden Querreihen, parallel zu den Querwänden, jeweils hintereinander angeordnet und zwar jeweils vorzugsweise je Reihe in einer gemeinsamen Ebene. Zweckmäßigerweise sind hierbei die Stützglieder je Stellplatz zueinander senkrecht ausgerichtet und damit an allen vier Seiten eines jeden Stellplatzes im Kasteninneren, an zwei Seiten an den Kastenecken und an drei Seiten an den Stellplätzen vorgesehen, die im Übrigen benachbart der Kastenseitenwände angeordnet sind.Conveniently, the support members, which limit the bottle receiving compartments both in longitudinal rows parallel to the longitudinal walls as well as in this perpendicular transverse rows, parallel to the transverse walls, respectively arranged one behind the other and preferably each row in a common plane. Appropriately, in this case the support members per parking space are mutually aligned vertically and thus provided on all four sides of each pitch inside the box, on two sides of the box corners and on three sides of the parking spaces, which are adjacent to the box side walls arranged.
In einer besonders zweckmäßigen Ausbildung der Stützglieder weisen diese zwei gegenüberliegende und vom Boden nach oben vorstehende Längsstege auf, die zwischen sich zweckmäßigerweise die Durchgriffsöffnung begrenzen. Hierbei ist es zweckmäßig, die Stützglieder durch nach unten zum Boden hin offene Stützbügel, insbesondere U-, V- oder C-förmige Stützbügel auszubilden. Dadurch stehen für die Halterung der eingestellten Flaschen je Seite eines Stellplatzes zwei Längsstege zur Verfügung, was für einen guten und stabilen Halt der eingestellten Flaschen sorgt, insbesondere die Vermeidung von Klappergeräuschen durch aneinanderschlagende Flaschen bedingt. Im Falle dieser Stützbügel ist es zweckmäßig, die beiden Längsschenkel des Stützbügels am oberen und vom Kastenboden entfernten Ende durch einen Quersteg miteinander zu verbinden, was insbesondere mit Hinsicht auf eine stabile Ausbildung der Stützglieder zweckmäßig ist. Dabei ist es bevorzugt, die Querstege bogenförmig, also mit einer Rundung nach oben, auszubilden.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the support members, these two opposite and from the bottom upwardly projecting longitudinal webs, which between them expediently limit the penetration opening. It is expedient, the support members by downwardly towards the bottom open support bracket, in particular U-, V- or C-shaped support bracket form. As a result, there are two longitudinal webs available for holding the bottles set per side of a parking space, which ensures a good and stable hold of the bottles set, in particular the avoidance of rattling noises caused by bottles hitting each other. In the case of this support bracket, it is expedient to connect the two longitudinal legs of the support bracket at the top and remote from the bottom of the box by a cross bar, which is particularly useful with regard to a stable design of the support members. It is preferred, the transverse webs arcuately, so with a rounding up, form.
Besonders geeignet für das Einstellen von Gebinden ist die Ausbildung der Stützglieder dahingehend, dass diese sich nach oben hin verjüngen. Zweckmäßigerweise weisen derartige Stützglieder im oberen Bereich eine Dicke von 0,3 bis 1,5, vorzugsweise 0,3 bis maximal 1 mm auf, was das Eintauchen der Stützglieder beim Einstellen der Gebinde erleichtert. Zudem werden mit Einstellen der Gebinde infolge des verjüngten oberen Bereichs der Stützglieder mit Einsetzen des Gebindes die im Gebinde aufgenommenen Flaschen auseinander gedrückt mit der Folge, dass die stabile Aufnahme der Gebinde im Flaschenkasten begünstigt und auch das Einstellen der Gebinde erleichtert wird.Particularly suitable for the setting of containers, the formation of the support members in such a way that they taper towards the top. Appropriately, such support members in the upper region has a thickness of 0.3 to 1.5, preferably 0.3 to a maximum of 1 mm, which facilitates the immersion of the support members in adjusting the container. In addition, with adjusting the container due to the tapered upper portion of the support members with insertion of the container, the bottles received in the container pressed apart with the result that favors the stable absorption of the container in the bottle crate and the setting of the container is facilitated.
Für die Einstellung der Gebinde ist es auch zweckmäßig, die gegenüberliegenden Stirnflächen von Stützgliedern, insbesondere die gegenüberliegenden Stirnflächen eines jeden Querstegs mit einer insbesondere flächig nach innen gerichteten Rundung zu versehen in Anpassung an den Flaschenbauch der einzustellenden Flaschen. Im Falle der bogenartigen Ausbildung der Stützglieder ist es zweckmäßig, die Rundung an den beiden Stirnflächen eines jeden Stützglieds zwischen den beiden Längsschenkeln des Stützglieds vorzusehen, insbesondere im Bereich des Querstegs und zwar zweckmäßigerweise zwischen den beiden Längsschenkeln.For the adjustment of the container, it is also expedient to provide the opposite end faces of support members, in particular the opposite end faces of each transverse web with a particular inwardly directed rounding in adaptation to the cylinder belly of the bottles to be adjusted. In the case of the arc-like design of the support members, it is expedient to provide the rounding at the two end faces of each support member between the two longitudinal limbs of the support member, in particular in the region of the transverse web and that between the two longitudinal limbs.
Ferner ist es zweckmäßig, die Längsstege mit nach innen vorstehenden Rippen als Anschlagschultern auszubilden, die das Eintauchen von eingestellten Flaschen in die Durchgriffsöffnungen der Stützglieder begrenzen, so dass die in benachbarte Abteile eingestellten Flaschen nicht in Berührung zueinander gelangen können. Durch Rippenausbildung im Bereich der Längsschenkel, insbesondere sich über die Länge der Schenkel erstreckende Rippen, kann zudem die Steifigkeit der Stützglieder erhöht werden.Furthermore, it is expedient to form the longitudinal webs with inwardly projecting ribs as stop shoulders, which limit the immersion of bottles set in the access openings of the support members, so that the bottles set in adjacent compartments can not come into contact with each other. By rib formation in the region of the longitudinal limbs, in particular over the length of the legs extending ribs, also the rigidity of the support members can be increased.
In einer weiteren zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Stützglieder mit einem im wesentlichen horizontal verlaufenden Quersteg verbunden. In weiterer zweckmäßiger Ausbildung sind die Querstege an ihrem oberen Rand mit einer nach unten geformten, vorzugsweise nach unten gerundeten Einbauchung versehen. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es zweckmäßig, dass die Längsstege mit ihren oberen Enden über den Quersteg vorstehen. Insbesondere für die Aufnahme von Mehrflaschenverpackungen aus Karton ist es hierbei zweckmäßig, wenn sich die oberen Enden der Längsstege verjüngen, insbesondere diese an ihren oberen stirnseitigen Enden gespitzt ausgebildet sind, so dass diese Steckspitzen bilden, die das Aufstecken bzw. Aufsetzen einer Verpackungskartonage erleichtern.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the support members are connected to a substantially horizontally extending transverse web. In a further advantageous embodiment, the transverse webs are provided at their upper edge with a downwardly shaped, preferably downwardly rounded indentation. In this context, it is expedient that the longitudinal webs protrude with their upper ends on the cross bar. In particular, for the inclusion of multi-bottle packaging made of cardboard, it is expedient here, if the upper ends of the longitudinal webs taper, in particular these are formed pointed at their upper ends, so that they form plug-in tips that facilitate the insertion or placing a Verpackungskartonage.
Zweckmäßigerweise kann der Flaschenkasten zusammen mit den Stützgliedern einstückig aus Kunststoff, insbesondere durch Spritzgießen aus Kunststoff hergestellt sein. In einer zweckmäßigen Alternative ist es jedoch bevorzugt, die Stützglieder separat herzustellen und zwar wiederum insbesondere aus Kunststoff, vorzugsweise durch Spritzgießen. Diese können dann separat in komplementäre Öffnungen am Boden eines Flaschenkastens vorzugsweise mit Stecksitz eingesetzt werden. Dies ermöglicht es, beschädigte Stützglieder im späteren Gebrauch austauschen zu können. In diesem Zusammenhang ist im unteren Bereich der Längsstege vorzugsweise eine Anschlagschulter vorgesehen, die flanschartig ausgebildet sein kann. In diesem Rahmen ist es ferner zweckmäßig, wenn am unteren Ende der Anschlagschulter ein sich nach unten erstreckendes Steckteil, insbesondere in Form einer umlaufenden Steckschürze vorgesehen ist. In diese können sich auch die beiden Längsstege erstrecken, wodurch sich ein insgesamt sehr steifer Aufbau der Stützglieder ergibt.Conveniently, the bottle crate can be made in one piece with the support members made of plastic, in particular by injection molding of plastic. In an expedient alternative, however, it is preferable to manufacture the support members separately, again in particular from plastic, preferably by injection molding. These can then be used separately in complementary openings at the bottom of a bottle crate, preferably with a plug-in seat. This makes it possible to replace damaged support members in later use. In this context, a stop shoulder is preferably provided in the lower region of the longitudinal webs, which may be formed in a flange. In this context, it is also expedient if a downwardly extending plug-in part, in particular in the form of a circumferential plug-in skirt, is provided at the lower end of the stop shoulder. In this, the two longitudinal webs may extend, resulting in an overall very rigid structure of the support members.
Die Stützglieder können als Vollprofil oder als Hohlprofil ausgebildet werden, wobei im Falle der Hohlprofilausbildung die Bildung der Hohlprofile durch Gas- oder Wassereinspritzung zweckmäßigerweise erfolgen kann.The support members may be formed as a solid profile or as a hollow profile, wherein in the case of the hollow profile formation, the formation of the hollow profiles by gas or water injection can be carried out expediently.
In einer zweckmäßigen Ausbildung der Erfindung können im Kasten Teilwände vorgesehen sein, welche das Fachinnere eines aus vier umlaufend angeordneten Seitenwänden gebildeten Flaschenkastens in wenigstens zwei Bereiche unterteilen. Hierbei dienen diese Teilwände dann auch zur Abstützung der eingestellten Einzelflaschen und der Sixpacks von der Seite her. Zweckmäßigerweise kann ein Kasten durch eine durchgehende Teilwand in zwei Hälften untergliedert werden. Im Falle eines Flaschenkastens mit vier Längsreihen von Einstellplätzen für die Flaschen und jeweils sechs Einstellplätzen hintereinander in einer Reihe mit einer Aufnahmekapazität von insgesamt 24 Flaschen können in jeder Kastenhälfte entsprechende Mehrfach-Packs eingestellt werden, hier insbesondere je Hälfte beispielsweise drei 4-Packs bzw. ein 8-Pack und 4-Pack. Dadurch ergibt sich eine große Universalität eines solchen Flaschenkastens für die Aufnahme entsprechender Packs und werden die Packs einfach und stabil im Flaschenkasten gehalten, was auch für einzustellende Leerflaschen gilt. Bei einem solchen Kasten mit mittiger Teilwand und einer Aufnahmekapazität von 24 Flaschen in vier Reihen ä sechs Einstellplätzen sind je Hälfte in mittiger Anordnung sechs Stützglieder in einer Reihe parallel zu den Längswänden und jeweils fünf quer gerichtete Stützgliederpaare vorgesehen, so dass je Hälfte durch die Stützglieder und die Wände des Kastens zwölf Einstellplätze bzw. Flaschenaufnahmeabteile gebildet werden. Selbstverständlich ergäbe sich eine entsprechend geänderte Anzahl von Stützgliedern bei einem Kasten mit verringerter oder vergrößerter Kapazität für die Einstellung der Flaschen.In an expedient embodiment of the invention, partial walls may be provided in the box, which subdivide the compartment interior of a bottle crate formed from four circumferentially arranged side walls into at least two areas. These partial walls then also serve to support the set individual bottles and the six-packs from the side. Conveniently, a box can be divided by a continuous partition in two halves. In the case of a bottle crate with four longitudinal rows of parking spaces for the bottles and each six parking spaces in a row in a row with a total capacity of 24 bottles corresponding multi-packs can be set in each box half, in particular each half, for example, three 4-packs or 8-pack and 4-pack. This results in a large universality of such a crate for receiving appropriate packs and the packs are kept simple and stable in the bottle crate, which also applies to be set empty bottles. In such a box with a central partial wall and a capacity of 24 bottles in four rows ä six parking spaces each half in central arrangement six support members in a row parallel to the longitudinal walls and five transverse support member pairs are provided so that each half through the support members and the walls of the box twelve Einstellplätze or Flaschenaufnahmeabteile be formed. Of course, would result in a correspondingly changed number of support members in a box with reduced or increased capacity for the adjustment of the bottles.

Um besser die Aufnahme eines Flaschengebindes in Art eines Sixpacks darstellen zu können, ist in
Ersichtlich ergeben sich hierbei im Flaschenkasten durch die für das Aufnehmen eines Sixpacks vorgesehenen Gebindes sechs Flascheneinstellplätze 10a bis 10f, also sechs Einstellplätze 10.As can be seen, in the case of the bottle by the container provided for receiving a six-pack, there are six bottle-setting
Für die Aufnahme eines Sixpacks in der Anordnung des in
Die Stützglieder 8 sind hierbei jeweils an den Seiten der Stellplätze 10 angeordnet und begrenzen untereinander und/oder mit den Längs- und Querwänden entsprechende Stellplätze 10, welche zur Aufnahme von Einzelflaschen dienen, die über die Stützglieder 10 sowie in randseitiger Anordnung zusätzlich durch die Längs- und Querwände gestützt werden. Es versteht sich von selbst, dass jede Längsreihe von Stützgliedern und jede Querreihe von Stützgliedern natürlich weit mehr als die in der Teildarstellung eines Flaschenkastens nach
Die Stützglieder 8 sind jeweils alleinstehend auf dem Kastenboden 4, nämlich durch Zwischenabstände voneinander isoliert angeordnet. Dies deswegen, weil die Stützglieder beim Einstellen eines Gebindes in entsprechend vorgesehene schlitzartige Öffnungen des Gebindebodens eingreifen und im Übrigen die Seitenwände des Gebindes Platz zwischen benachbarten Stützgliedern haben müssen, so dass sie entsprechend in den Flaschenkasten eingestellt werden können. Je nach Größe und Aufnahmekapazität eines solchen Flaschenkastens sind mehrere Längsreihen und Querreihen mit jeweils hintereinander angeordneten Stützgliedern parallel zu den Längswänden und Querwänden angeordnet.The
Die an den Seiten der Flaschenstellplätze 10 angeordneten Stützglieder weisen im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils im mittleren Bereich eine Durchgriffsöffnung 14 auf, in welche zu einem geringen Teil die jeweils in ein durch einen Stellplatz gebildetes Flaschenaufnahmeabteil eingestellte Flasche greift, so dass sie durch die Stützglieder 8 entsprechend gehalten ist. Die Durchgriffsöffnungen 14 erstrecken sich hierbei von der Oberseite des Bodens nach oben bis zum oberen Bereich der Stützglieder 8. Die dargestellten Stützglieder sind zweckmäßigerweise in Form eines Stützbügels 16 ausgebildet, der gemäß
Zweckmäßigerweise weisen die Stützglieder 8 an ihren jeweils zum Stellplatz 10 ausgerichteten Stirnflächen eine jeweils nach innen gerichtete flächige Rundung 20 auf, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel maßgeblich im Bereich der Querstege 18 und damit insbesondere zwischen den gegenüberliegenden Längsstegen 16 der Stützglieder ausgebildet ist. Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Rundung an dem Flaschenbauch der einzustellenden Flasche angepasst und erleichtert das Einstecken der Flaschen. Insgesamt verjüngen sich die Stützglieder 8 nach oben hin, das heißt zum oberen Rand der Querstege 18 hin, was einerseits das Einführen der einzustellenden Einzelflaschen erleichtert, andererseits aber auch das Eintauchen der Stützglieder 8 in die entsprechenden Öffnungen am Boden der Mehrweggebinde, die in den Flaschenkasten einzustellen sind. Insbesondere bilden die jeweils den Stellplätzen zugewandten Stirnflächen der Stützglieder 8 ein halbkreisförmiges, sich senkrecht nach oben erstreckendes Profil für die Flascheneinstellung. Wie aus
Die Längsstege 17 und der Quersteg 18 können jeweils als Vollwandprofil oder aber materialsparend als Hohlprofil ausgebildet sein, welches insbesondere dann nach unten hin offen wäre, um in einfacher Weise die Herstellung eines solchen Flaschenkastens durch Spritzgießen aus Kunststoff zu erleichtern. Aus diesem Grund ist es auch zweckmäßig, dass der Flaschenkastenboden 4 im Bereich der Stützbügel 16, insbesondere zwischen den beiden Längsschenkeln jeweils eine Öffnung 22 aufweist, die für entsprechende Formkerne vorhanden sind. Dadurch ergibt sich aber auch eine offene Strukturierung des Flaschenkastenbodens 4, wobei, wie
Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weisen die Längsstege 17 eines jeden Stützglieds 8 an ihren einander gegenüberliegenden Stirnflächen nach innen vorstehende Rippen 24 auf, die das Durchgreifen der eingestellten Flaschen begrenzen. Abgesehen von den Rippen 24, die beispielsweise insbesondere durch T-profilförmige Ausbildung der Längsstege 17 geschaffen sein können, können die Stege zum Zwecke der Versteifung auch weitere Rippen aufweisen, die über den Umfang angeordnet sein können. Ersichtlich bilden diese Stützglieder 8 Distanzhalter zwischen den einzustellenden Flaschen und stützen die eingestellten Einzelflaschen ab und zwar derart, dass sich die Flaschendurchmesser der eingestellten Flaschen nicht berühren und damit ein Aneinanderschlagen der Flaschen auch während des Transports und eine damit verbundene Geräuschentwicklung verhindert werden kann.In the illustrated embodiment, the
Dadurch, dass zweckmäßigerweise die Stützglieder nach oben hin auf eine minimale Wandstärke reduziert werden und zwar auf Wandstärken vorzugsweise im Bereich zwischen 0,3 mm und 1,5 mm, zweckmäßigerweise 0,3 bis 1,0 mm erleichtert sich das Einsetzen der Flaschen. Dies betrifft auch das Einstellen der Sixpacks, da durch die Distanzhalter die Flaschen etwas auseinander gedrückt werden. Die Kontur der Stützbügel mit Längsstegen, Rundung im Quersteg und mittiger Durchgriffsöffnung passt sich gewissermaßen dem Durchmesser der einzustellenden Flasche, insbesondere deren Flaschenbauch an, so dass ein sehr guter Halt der eingestellten Flaschen durch die Stützglieder gewährleistet wird.The fact that expediently the support members are reduced to a minimum wall thickness at the top and preferably to wall thicknesses preferably in the range between 0.3 mm and 1.5 mm, advantageously 0.3 to 1.0 mm facilitates the insertion of the bottles. This also applies to the setting of the six-packs, since the spacers are pushed apart slightly by the spacers. The contour of the support bracket with longitudinal webs, rounding in the crossbar and central access opening fits in a sense the diameter the bottle to be adjusted, especially the bottle belly, so that a very good hold of the bottles set is ensured by the support members.
Die Stützglieder dienen also somit einerseits als Distanzhalter für die einzustellenden Flaschen aber auch als Stützen für die einzustellenden Mehrweggebinde, wie sich aus
Die Stützglieder sind im mittleren Bereich der Seiten der Flaschenstellplätze 10 angeordnet und zwar vorzugsweise über eine Breite zwischen 2/5 und der halben Breite einer Seitenwandfläche, insbesondere einer Breite zwischen 1/2 und 2/3 der Seite eines jeden Stellplatzes 10. Wie
