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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
  • FIG. 6 shows a variant of a support member in the form of a U-shaped support bracket 8 with an arcuate transverse web 18, the arc-shaped connecting the two substantially vertically standing longitudinal webs 16 together.
  • the rounding 20 in the upper region of the support member, namely here on the cross bar 18 can be seen.
  • FIGS. 7 to 9 show a further preferred embodiment of a support member according to the invention for a bottle crate in the context of the invention, wherein like components are described with the same reference numerals as in the previous embodiment.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable for receiving multi-bottle packs made of cardboard.
  • the support member 8 is in the form of a substantially H-shaped support bracket and is formed with two upright or vertically standing longitudinal webs 17, which are arranged at a distance from each other and arranged parallel to each other in the illustrated embodiment and can limit a through-opening 14 between them ,
  • the two longitudinal webs 17 are connected to each other in the region of their upper end and above the access opening 14 by means of a transverse web 18, whose lower edge is suitably formed according to the upper end of the through-opening 14, in particular rounded here, and the upper edge 30 with an after below rounded indentation is provided, as is particularly clear FIG. 8 results.
  • the longitudinal webs 17 are formed as a substantially U-shaped profiles, which has advantages with respect to a stiffening of these longitudinal webs.
  • optionally also hollow sections could be provided.
  • the box in one piece and in particular by injection molding of plastic.
  • the support members are separately plugged into complementary openings in the box bottom plugged.
  • the box can be made separately from the support members by injection molding of plastic and the support members can be inserted later, preferably with a tight fit. This allows the replacement of damaged support members.
  • a stop flange here an oval trained stop flange 34 is provided in the lower region of the support member 8, which limits the attachment of the support members in the box bottom.
  • the flange is provided below with a skirt 36 as a plug-in part.
  • the longitudinal webs 17 expediently extend into the downwardly projecting plug-in part, here in the form of a skirt 36. This results in a stable plug-in part 36, which is inserted with tight fit into complementary openings of the box bottom and thus in the event of damage interchangeable and thus replaceable.
