Description

Stacker for bottles and other cylindrical containers.

Object of the invention.

The present invention relates to a stacker of bottles and other cylindrical containers designed to be supported on a horizontal surface and directed primarily for domestic use.

The design seeks to solve the storage needs of bottles and other cylindrical containers with a simple, versatile, low-volume and economical element.

State of the art

There are storage systems for bottles and other cylindrical containers, abundant so-called bottle racks.

They are present in the market and vary in form, material or capacity: there are modular, with variable capacity depending on the number of elements installed, or furniture prepared for this purpose, with a fixed storage space: in both cases the storage tends to resolved by devices, more or less bulky, with cells, cavities or other similar fastening systems designed to stably accommodate the bottles.

It is common in existing bottle racks that the housing system is sized for a certain type of bottle (3/4 of a liter mainly) which implies that the use with another type of container is impossible or decreases its efficiency and / or capacity.

The volume of current systems, generally greater than the stored container, remains unchanged whether or not it is occupied by bottles and, consequently, the space it occupies, regardless of the degree of use, is rendered useless for other needs.

The dimensions and configuration of the current systems make it difficult to install in cabinets or refrigerators by wasting the space with the structure itself or with internal or external residual spaces thereof.

The materials and finishes used in the manufacture of the current systems can condition its installation in certain places. In the domestic sphere mainly, the bottles or other cylindrical containers to be stored vary constantly in quantity and / or size, so that the system of

Storage must be versatile enough to adapt to the needs of each moment, to make the most of the available space and not occupy volume when it is in disuse.

Description of the Invention

The stacker object of the invention is simple, easy to produce. economic and responds to the problems mentioned in the previous section.

The dimensions of the stacker are negligible with respect to the volume that can be stored, its shape facilitates the stacking of containers of different dimensions and can be installed alone or in combination with other units to increase stacking capacity.

Its shape, material and finish make it suitable for installation in any environment. The system comprises a rectangular corrugated sheet body whose waves settle on the support plane and receive and stabilize the stored containers.

Its geometry allows the combination of two or more elements to adjust its length to the desired width by overlapping more or less waves and column stacking when units are inserted between two rows of containers.

The surface treatment of the piece, consisting of a plastic coating, protects the sheet from corrosion and other attacks arising from the use or the environment in which it is installed, protects the edges, facilitates its cleaning and offers the possibility of using any color in its finish

The design and dimensions of the stacker allow it to be hidden under the stored product, avoiding possible formal distortions on the support element on which it rests and offering an image of the apparent weightlessness set.

The design and dimensions of the stacker facilitate its storage, when in disuse, by occupying a small space, which hardly increases when several superimposed units are stored.

Invention realization.

Based on the above description, the bottle and other container stacker

cylindrical is a simple element consisting of a corrugated metal sheet

and plastic coating.

twenty

The base body would be easily obtained by manipulating a sheet

of corrugated profile transformed steel, widely used in the sector

construction and more specifically in enclosures and roofs of industrial buildings. He

Use of this material avoids the need for the design and manufacture of machinery or

specific tooling for the realization of the product which reduces the costs of

25

production.

The plastic coating, in addition to protecting the sheet from corrosion, shock and

scratched, make it suitable for the intended use and facilitate cleaning, it allows to vary the

color, improve the visual appearance and provide it with a pleasant touch.

In the main body other materials or finishes could be used but

considers that the proposed embodiment is the one that best adjusts manufacturing costs.
