DESCRIPTION

Bottle protector OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a bottle protector, and more specifically to a protector used in containers or boxes for the transport of multiple bottles, so that the protector being individual, it can be modulated to be able to link laterally to other equals and allow adapt to boxes of different capacities in a totally stable way and consequently protected.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are numerous devices and means used as protective means for bottles during transport in their boxes, so that in some cases they are formed by simple separators with one or another configuration, in other cases with cylindrical or prismatic bodies where each bottle is housed , etc.

In the European patent EP2949588 a reinforced bottle protector is described, constituted from the development of a rectangular cardboard sheet with four transverse bending lines determining five sectors, the first one of shorter length than the rest, sectors that will constitute the walls sides of a prismatic body where the bottle will be housed and the sector of smaller length has the particularity of having extreme extensions, which are double and that will form the bottom and cover of the protector itself, also having complementary reinforcement sectors to those closing sectors, to keep these in their stable position during transport and manipulation of the respective bottle housed in the protector.

The sheet also has flaps and windows that define wings deployed outward to establish spacers of the protector itself in its assembly phase.

The protector thus constituted, is planned to house a single bottle and does not count

with means that allow its connection with other equals to form what could be a multiple protector for a greater number of bottles, so that although it has support means between protectors of the same type, these support means do not contemplate the link between devices so that they form a single piece body, thus presenting undesirable instability.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The protector for bottles that is recommended solves in a completely satisfactory way the problematic previously exposed.

For this, and more specifically, the protector object of the invention is constituted from the development of a rectangular cardboard sheet with bending lines that determine the four side walls, with the corresponding means of closing, lateral, upper and lower . It also has a plurality of fins emerging from the edges of the same in the conformation of the protector that also include complementary windows of respective flaps provided in correspondence with the edges, which allow the tongue and groove coupling between protectors in the two directions possible and perpendicular once the protectors are formed. In this way, the protector has a modular character to be able to collaterally attach to other similar protectors to adapt to the capacity of different types of boxes depending on the number of bottles provided for it, allowing to obtain an inner protective core to the box for multiple bottles with a single-piece character, as the protectors are linked together. Faced with this ingenious solution, the current state of the art only contemplates the need to resort to different types of sheets to form different protectors of two, three, four or more bottles. That is, according to the number of bottles that you want to put in the box, you must resort to different sheet developments for each case.

As for the upper and lower closures of the protector, they are formed by simple extensions, which at the top are double and are layered together, one of them presenting an orifice for the neck of the bottle.

The side wall from which the upper and lower closures emerge is shorter

than the other three, which determines that in the mounting position three of the walls of the protector protrude vertically with respect to the base that closes the neck of the bottle.

Below, a closing base is defined with four rectangular sectors of low height and perimeter, by means of which it is possible to slightly raise the base of the bottle with respect to the lower level of the protector.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that will then be made and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical implementation thereof, a set of drawings is accompanied as an integral part of said description. where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a development in plan of a protector for bottles made in accordance with the object of the present invention

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the duly mounted protector.

Figure 3.- Shows, finally, a perspective view of two protectors mounted and coupled together.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures summarized, it can be seen how the protector for bottles of the invention is constituted from the development of a rectangular cardboard sheet in which four transverse folding lines (1), (2), (3) are established. and (4), determinants of a narrow lateral sector (5) and the four main and lateral faces (6), (7), (8) and (9) through which a quadrangular prism is determined. The bases of said protector, as shown in Figure 2, are closed by a quadrangular extension (10) for the lower part, in turn provided with four narrow rectangular tabs (10 ') which, in the assembly, slightly enhance said protector bottom with

regarding the lower level of it. One of the four rectangular tabs (10 ’) is linked to one of the side faces of the prism. The other base of the prism that constitutes the upper closure, is formed from an extension (11) provided with a hole (12) for passage of the neck of the bottle, extension (11) that ends at its free end in a sector (17) that is layered with respect to said upper base or extension (11).

The side face (8) from which the extensions (11.17) emerge has a shorter length than the other three side faces (6), (7) and (9) so that when forming the protector, the upper extension ( 11) It is at a level slightly below the perimeter contour of the rest of the walls of the box.

The protector is armed by defining the quadrangular prismatic structure described above by interlocking flaps (14) established on the free edge of the face (9) complementary to grooves (15) defined in the folding line (4).

On the edges that delimit the fold lines (1), (2), (3) and (4), a plurality of flaps (13) are established, which in the conformation of the protector are protruding outwardly, as an extension of the face to which they belong and that determine the means of support and support for other protectors of the same type.

On the other hand, the protector also includes a plurality of flanges (18), in correspondence with the folding lines (1) and (2) provided with interlocking means in grooves (19) in correspondence with the folding lines (3) and (4) and therefore are accessible after mounting on the edge of the prism that constitutes the protector. This allows the flanges (18) of a first protector to be inserted into the grooves (19) of a second protector, thus both being mutually coupled to each other in two perpendicular directions.

In this way, and as shown in Figure 3, a modular protector easily attainable with others of the same type is achieved, with great stability and adaptability to the specific needs of each case.
