Description

Bottle transport container.

Object of the invention

The object of the present invention is a container for the transport of bottles constituted by an accommodation main that forms a cavity and a closing lid of the main accommodation that has distributed protections both in the main housing as in the closing cover so that the integrity of said bottles is ensured during transport.

Background of the invention

Containers are known in the state of the art  formed by cardboard boxes for the transport of products fragile such as glass or glass bottles for wine or spirits for example.

In order to avoid contact between bottles and thus soften the impacts derived from shocks produced between themselves and with external objects that can crashing into these boxes, fillings can be arranged in the inside the boxes that carry out a separation between the bottles and between the walls that form the box in order to cushion possible impacts and thus protect the bottles.

These fillings can be formed by deformable plastic elements such as foams or paper elements or corrugated cardboard for example.

Also, these fillings can be introduced inside the box once the bottles or they can be incorporated inside the same.

In any case, these elements intended for cushion the impacts and according to what the applicant knows, it they have only in the cavity that forms the main accommodation of the boxes. In this way it is not possible to protect completely the product housed inside, and in particular the bottles of glass or crystal, since there is an area of the bottles unprotected, this being the area of the lid that is in correspondence with the main accommodation that constitutes the box. Therefore this area of the lid constitutes the weak point of this Type of packaging to transport fragile elements.

This problem is exacerbated when this type of Bottle transport containers are stored in warehouses airplanes for example, along with other objects likely to collide with them in moments of instability of the plane or on their own transport to these warehouses. Particularly at this time this problem acquires special importance since it is of obligation to invoice containers that store liquids that exceed A certain volume

Therefore the present invention consists of a container for transporting bottles formed by a box that It has protections both inside the housing main with in the part of the closing lid that is in correspondence with the interior of the main accommodation that forms box.

Description of the invention

A first aspect of the invention relates to a bottle transport container consisting of a body in the form of a parallelepiped that has:

a main accommodation consisting of a cavity for housing at least one bottle,

and a closure cover intended to cover said main accommodation, so that in main accommodation internally they have at least first deformable means in correspondence with the main body of the at least said bottle, second deformable means in correspondence with the neck of the at least said bottle, and third deformable means in correspondence with the bottom of the at least said bottle. In addition, at least the interior is arranged internally quarter deformable means in correspondence with the neck and with the main body of the at least said bottle.

This ensures complete protection. of the bottles inside the container since no area of these bottles are in contact with the walls of the container as such, if not in contact with the means of protection formed by a deformable material that absorbs impacts produced by absorbing impact energy during the  deformation of said protection means.

Additionally, said protections arranged fixed with respect to said container, either because they are attached through means of attachment to the interior thereof or because they are fitted inside the said container, ensure the bottle protection at all times since they do not lose their position regardless of whether the container is subjected to movements abrupt or strong impacts.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the foregoing, the The present invention relates to a container for transporting bottles formed by a main housing and a lid of closure that has in each of these elements, both in the inside the main housing as in the area of the cover of closure that corresponds to said accommodation main, deformable protection means so that the bottle is perfectly protected inside said container.

The container (1) for bottles (9) is formed by  a cardboard box shaped like a parallelepiped that forms preferably from a single sheet (11) that has several folds (10) to facilitate the folding of each of the walls that form the container (1) to constitute a box.

The package (1) consists of two main parts, a main accommodation (2) that has a cavity for receiving the bottles (9) and a closing lid (3) intended for close the cavity that forms the main housing (2). As he main housing (2) as the cover (3) are attached to through a hinge (3.4).

Figures 1 and 2 show the container (1) in a closed position and in an open position respectively. In the closed position of figure 1 can be seen as the cover (3) of closure covers the main housing (2) and in the open position the contents of the container (1) can be seen in the closing lid (3), in In this case, three bottles (9) of glass or glass.

The main accommodation (2) consists of a cavity delimited by five walls, two side walls (2.1), a front wall (2.2), a rear wall (2.3) and finally a base wall (2.4).

In the front wall (2.2) a handle is observed (8) of plastic material that can also have a reinforcement of this same material to stiffen the front wall area (2.2) cardboard where it is arranged together.

This handle (8) has the function of facilitating the transport of the container (1) as a suitcase.

The closing cover (3) arranged to cover the main housing (2) is formed by a base wall (3.3) and by three flaps that correspond to the walls of the main accommodation (2). In particular, it has two side flaps (3.1) in correspondence with the walls sides (2.1) of the main accommodation (2) so that you are side flaps (3.1) when the cover (3) is in a closing position are introduced inside the housing main (2); and a front flap (3.2) that is placed in correspondence with the front wall (2.2) of the housing main (2) and is arranged, at least partially, abroad of said front wall (2.2) when the cover (3) is in a closing position

In addition, the front flap (3.2), as you can  see in figure 2 for example, it has a hole (8.1) for the passage of the handle (8) since this front flap (3.2) is placed above the front wall (2.2) of the main housing (2).

In order to protect the content of the container (1) against the impacts produced by the contact between the bottles (9) or by shock with elements outside the container (1) several deformable means of protection are provided which are illustrated in figures 4 and 5.

First of all we have a few second means deformable (5) which are preferably constituted by a band of deformable material that extends transversely with with respect to a longitudinal axis of the bottle (9).

       \ newpage
    

These second deformable means (5) are positioned inside the main housing (2) and in particular in correspondence with the front wall (2.2) of said main accommodation (2).

On this band of deformable material that constitute the second deformable means (5) the necks (9.2) of the bottles (9) intended to be stored in the container (1). Therefore, the height of this material band deformable corresponds to the height of the neck (9.2) of the bottle (9) so that the bottom of said neck (9.2) is in contact with the upper surface of the band deformable material.

The deformable material band that constitutes the second deformable means (5) can be joined by glued for example inside the main housing (2) of shape that corresponds to the front wall (2.2) and the base wall (2.4) or simply embedded and occupying that same space between the side walls (2.1) of main accommodation (2). In case it is fitted, the length of this band of deformable material will correspond to the length of the wall front (2.2) in order to ensure that said band keep the position at all times.

In the same way as the second means deformable (5) third deformable means (6) are arranged in the back of the main housing (2) in correspondence with the rear wall (2.3) of said main housing (2).

The third deformable means (6) are formed by a band of deformable material that extends transversely with respect to a longitudinal axis of the bottle (9) and whose function is to protect the rear (9.3) of the bottle (9).

The height of this deformable band in this case It does not have to correspond to the diameter of the rear (9.3) of the bottle (9), it is sufficient that there is a support area of this rear part (9.3) of the bottle (9) so that the function of this protection element is carried out correctly.

In the same way as the second means deformable (5), these third deformable means (6) can be attach to the rear wall (2.3) of the main housing (2) by gluing for example or by fitting between the walls sides (2.1) of the main housing (2) so that keep the position at all times of the band so you can fulfill its protection function.

The closing cover (3), in correspondence with the  lower face of the base wall (3.3), has a few rooms deformable means (7) preferably formed by three bands (7.1, 7.2) of deformable material that extend transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bottle (9).

The front band (7.1) is placed in correspondence with the neck (9.2) of the bottle (9), so that when the closing cover (3) is in the closed position, it is front band (7.1), is placed in contact with the neck (9.2) of the bottle Therefore, the height of this band (7.1) will be such allowing contact with said neck (9.2) of the bottle (9). As for the length, it will be enough that it is sufficient to cover the necks (9.2) of each of the bottles (9) that are place in the container (1).

The combination of the second means deformable (5) with the front band (7.1) of the middle rooms deformable (7) perfectly ensures neck protection (9.2) of the bottle (9) at all times.

This front band (7.1) joins preferably by gluing to the bottom face of the base wall (3.3) of the closing cover (3) that corresponds to the cavity that forms the main housing (1).

In addition, the fourth deformable means (7) are formed by at least one and preferably two rear bands (7.2) that are located in correspondence with the main body (9.1) of the bottle (9). Therefore, the height of these bands (7.2) will be sufficient for contact between the bands (7.2) and the main body (9.1) of the bottle (9), when the cap (3) is in a closing position As for the length, it will be enough that it is sufficient to cover the main bodies (9.1) of each of the bottles (9) that are housed in the
leave (1).

In the same way as the front band (7.1), these rear bands (7.2) are preferably joined by gluing to the inner face of the base wall (3.3) of the cover (3) of closing.

Although the middle rooms have been described deformable (7) so that they are constituted by several bands (7.1, 7.2), as a less economical alternative, these average rooms deformable (7) could be constituted by a continuous element with different heights so that protection was given by single element both to the neck (9.2) of the bottle (9) and to the main body (9.1) of it.

In figure 5 we can see all the means deformable (5, 6 and 7) described above, mounted on their final operating position in the container (1).

Between the second deformable means (5) and the third deformable means (6) there is a hole inside of the main accommodation (2). This hole is intended to receive first deformable means that complete the means of protection of the container (1) and that are placed in correspondence with the main body (9.1) of the bottle (9) and in contact with the base wall (2.4) of the main housing (2).

The first deformable means (4), as observed in figure 5, they are preferably formed by a cover of deformable material that partially wraps the body main (9.1) of the bottle (9).

This case is formed by a cavity (4.1) intended to receive the main body (9.1) of the bottle (9) delimited by two side walls (4.1.1) and by a base lower (4.1.2).

These covers are made of a material deformable that allow the bottles (9) to fit inside the cavity (4.1) formed by the covers. Therefore, they will be arranged as many covers as bottles (9) are intended to be housed in the inside of the container (1).

The covers are delimited by the front part by the second deformable means (5) and by the rear part by third deformable means (6). For the therefore, preferably the length of the covers corresponds to the distance that separates the second and third means deformable (5, 6).

The first deformable means (4), the second deformable means (5) and the third deformable means (6) alternatively, they could consist of only one element, for example in the case that the cover that forms the first deformable means (4) were also formed by a front wall extending to the neck (9.2) of the bottle (9) constituting the second deformable means (5) and by  a rear wall that protected the rear (9.3) of the bottle (9) constituting the third deformable means (6).

As for the union of deformable media (4, 5, 6, 7) has been described above that can be carried out by embedded or by adhesive.

In the event that the joining operation is made by adhesive, this can be done before the container (1) has been assembled from the sheet (11) or after this operation

In the event that the adhesive operation of deformable media is carried out before it has been armed the container from the sheet (11), can be produced interference during the assembly of the different walls that form the main housing (2) with deformable means provided.

In particular, a interference between the second deformable means (5) and the side walls (2.1) of the main housing (2).

In this case, a configuration of the second deformable means (5) with two hinges formed by example in the first quarter and in the corresponding fourth quarter at the longitudinal distance of the deformable material web that form the second deformable means (5).

In this way, during the assembly of the walls sides (4.2) of the main housing (2) the dejection, with respect to the hinges formed, of each of the parts of the band located at the ends of it with the so that interference with said band does not occur during assembly of the side walls (2.1) of the housing main (2).

The deformable means (4, 5, 6, 7) described they are formed by a deformable material as stated in several times, this deformable material is preferably a foamed plastic material such as foam polyethylene.

Polyethylene foam is used usually in the container sector. This material is characterized for its lightness, flexibility, moisture resistance and capacity of shock absorption. This last feature what becomes an excellent protector of fragile products or delicate as are the glass or glass bottles.

It does not alter the essentiality of this invention variations in materials, shape, size and arrangement of component elements, described in a non-limiting manner, sufficient this one to proceed to its reproduction by an expert.
