Description

DESCRIPTION

PROTECTIVE CASE FOR PARALLEL BOTTLES

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a protective case for bottles in parallel, which in addition to wrapping the same, protects them against blows.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present, due to the rise of electronic commerce, the postal delivery of purchased goods is daily. Among these goods are various beverages or oils, which are commercially presented in glass bottles, which, as is known, is a fragile material when hit by a certain energy, such as those that can occur in logistics and shopping transport.

To avoid this, the bottles are usually placed in boxes, being able to have padded protectors or with a complementary shape to that of the bottles, which are placed around the bottle when it is introduced into its box, but with the disadvantage that they are prepared to several bottles per box due to cost savings, and also having the shape of the bottle to fit it, they are not flat and take up a lot of storage and transport space, which increases logistics costs. On the other hand, since they are separable elements of the case, they can be lost or damaged.

To solve these drawbacks, the applicant is the holder of the utility model 201831756 referring to a protective case for two bottles, which discloses a case of the type comprising a box made by folding a first laminar template of corrugated material, with first long perimeter sectors alternated with two first short lateral sectors, and a first sector of superposition on some of the first sectors for perimeter reinforcement of the box; where the first long lateral sectors have a greater width than the joint width of two bottles, and the first template also comprising additional sectors at the ends of the lateral sectors to generate the bases of the box. Comprising an immobilizer inside the box, also materialized by folding a second laminar template of corrugated material with seconds sectors, the first template being glued to the second template by one of its respective sectors, and the second perimeter sectors having a width approximately equal to the width of the bottle, also having cuts in the fold lines that delimit the second sectors, which they define perimeter projecting flanges of sufficient length to support the first sectors on the inside of the armed box, maintaining the position of the immobilizer inside the box. With this, it is possible to separate the immobilizer from three of the four walls of the box in the housing of each bottle, and to immobilize the same, being protected.

To improve the adaptability of the case to bottles of different heights, the immobilizer also included lower support sockets, adjustable in height and implemented in the same second template, which serves to adapt the immobilizer to bottles of different heights.

In this way, a protector for two bottles very suitable for postal delivery was achieved, since by comprising two pieces, a piece that acts as an external box, self-assembling, and an internal immobilizer that is also self-assembling, and which are attached at the factory and have laminar configuration , occupy very little transport and logistics space and have minimal costs before assembly, achieving perfect preservation and protection once the case is assembled, and without the risk of losing both parts of it when glued together, with the additional advantage of obtaining the adaptation to different heights of the bottle, so that it is not only protected and immobilized perimeter, but also vertically.

An improvement of the previous approach is contained in the utility model U201931148, of the same applicant, which was capable of accommodating three or more bottles in a row, mainly thanks to the configuration of the interior immobilizer based on a second laminar template of corrugated material that It comprises at least three second bottom sectors, at least two pairs of second separating side sectors arranged between each two adjacent bottom sectors, two second end side sectors, arranged on the sides of the end bottom sectors not adjacent to other bottom sectors and, at least, a second closing sector, arranged after at least one of the second extreme lateral sectors; the second bottom sectors being in contact with the inside of the box, and some or all of said second sectors having flanges protruding from their corners, of a length similar to the gap between the immobilizer and the box, to contact the same leaving said clearance as a protection space for the bottles in those areas. The folding of this template achieved three or more breasts in a row for as many bottles.

However, a weak point in both configurations proposed in both models is the area where the bottom sectors of the immobilizers are in contact with the outer box, since in that specific area there is no protection because there is no play. This drawback is solved with the protective case of the invention

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The protective case for parallel bottles of the invention is of the type comprising a prismatic box with a quadrangular plan to house the bottles arranged in parallel, made by folding by first folding lines of a first laminar template of corrugated material, with two first sectors long lateral sectors alternated with two first short lateral sectors, and a first sector of superposition on some of the first sectors, for perimeter reinforcement of the box, and the first template also comprising additional sectors, at the ends of the lateral sectors, to generate the bases of the box, where in addition:

-the first long lateral sectors are wider than the combined width of the total number of bottles that are going to be arranged in each row, to generate clearances with respect to the bottles inserted in the box,

-comprises bottle immobilizers, which are arranged inside the box, and which are materialized by folding second laminar templates of corrugated material, each of which comprises at least two second bottom sectors, at least one pair of second side separating sectors, arranged between every two adjacent bottom sectors, two second end side sectors arranged on the sides of the end bottom sectors not adjacent to other bottom sectors, and at least one second closing sector, arranged after at least one of the second end lateral sectors; some or all of said second sectors having flanges projecting from their corners, similar in length to the gaps existing between the immobilizer and the box,

-the second bottom sectors, the second lateral separation sectors, and the second extreme lateral sectors having width similar to that of a bottle, a second lateral sector with internal closure width similar to that of the number of bottles to be contained in a row in the immobilizers configured by each template, and the other second closing side sector outer width similar to that of the number of bottles to be contained in a row in the immobilizers configured by each template, but comprising end extensions of similar width to the gaps existing between the immobilizer and the box; and said second closing sectors comprising notches for the passage of some of the projecting flanges.

In addition to the above, in the protective case for parallel bottles according to the invention: -the first short lateral sectors of the box have a greater width than the number of rows, to generate the gaps between them,

-the case comprises at least two rows of immobilizers, each one of which is made from a second laminar template of corrugated material, and

-the rows of immobilizers are arranged so that their bottom sectors are in contact with each other in pairs, that is, if there are an even number of rows, their bottom sectors will be in contact with each other two by two (in pairs ). If they are odd, try to ensure that the single row is positioned with its bottom sectors facing inwards.

In this way the bottles are protected around the entire perimeter of the box since there is no direct contact between the box and bottom sectors, with the additional advantage that a smaller volume of the box is achieved for 4 or 6 bottles than with boxes for 2 or three bottles with the previous configurations, and with the same advantages of the previous configurations of being able to obtain the case from a limited number of flat templates and with low storage volume and cost.

Indicate, that obviously, in case the number of bottles in each row were equal to the number of rows, the first long lateral sectors and the first short lateral sectors of the first template would have substantially the same length.

-the first long lateral sectors (31, 33) are wider than the joint width of the total number of bottles (100) that are going to be arranged in each row (110) to generate gaps (200) with respect to the bottles (100) inserted in the box (2),

-comprises immobilizers (5) of the bottles, which are arranged by the inside the box (2), and which are materialized by folding second laminar templates (6) of corrugated material (see now also fig 2 and 5), each of which comprises at least two second bottom sectors (61), at least one pair (66) of second lateral separation sectors (62), arranged between each two adjacent bottom sectors (61), two second extreme lateral sectors (63) arranged on the sides of the sectors of bottom (61) ends not adjacent to other bottom sectors (61) and, at least, a second closing sector (64, 64 '), arranged after at least one of the second extreme lateral sectors (63) ; some or all of said second sectors (61, 62, 63, 64, 64 ') having flanges (71) projecting from their corners, similar in length to the gaps (200) existing between the immobilizer (5) and the box ( two),

-the second bottom sectors (61), the second lateral separation sectors (62), and the second extreme lateral sectors (63) having width similar to that of a bottle (100), a second internal closing lateral sector (64 ) width similar to that of the number of bottles to be contained in a row in the immobilizers configured by each template, and the other second lateral outer closure sector (64 ') width similar to that of the number of bottles to be contained in a row in the immobilizers configured for each template, but comprising end extensions (71a) of similar width to the gaps (200) existing between the immobilizer (5) and the box (100); and said second closing sectors (64, 64 ') comprising notches (68) for the passage of some of the projecting flanges (71); where further according to the invention:

-the first short lateral sectors (32, 34) of the box (2) are wider than the total number of rows (110), to generate the clearances (200),

-the case comprises at least two rows (110) of immobilizers, each one of which is made from a second laminar template (6) of corrugated material, and -the rows (110) of immobilizers are arranged in so that its bottom sectors (61) are in contact with each other in pairs.

Preferably, the box (2) comprises a B1 or American style flap box. This characteristic, in addition to being convenient to achieve greater resistance due to the greater weight involved in inserting more bottles, increases their protection.

In a preferred embodiment for six bottles, which is shown in the figures, each second template (6) comprises three second bottom sectors (61), two pairs (66) of second lateral separation sectors (62), arranged between each two adjacent bottom sectors (61), two second end lateral sectors (63) arranged on the sides of the bottom sectors (61) not adjacent to other bottom sectors (61), and two second closing sectors (64, 64 ')) arranged after both second side end sectors (63).

Ideally, the tabs (71) are materialized by cuts made from the second fold lines (7) that make up two second adjacent sectors, and projected towards one of them. Furthermore, it is preferred that each second bottom sector (61) comprises an upper flap (9) with a hooking hole (10) for the corresponding bottle neck (100), where the neck hooking hole (10) The bottle (100) can comprise an internal annular flexible mouthpiece delimited by radial cuts (11), to fit necks of different diameters (see in fig 4).

It is also preferred that each immobilizer (5) comprises a lower support base (55) (we continue in fig 4), adjustable in height to adapt to the height of the bottle (100), which is starting from the lower edge of some of the the second sectors (61, 62, 63, 64) and is made up of successive subsectors (56) (see in fig 2) delimited by successive third folding lines (55a). In this way the bottle is immobilized in the axial direction. Likewise, each immobilizer (5) can comprise, at least, (return to fig 4) a lower heel (57) for supporting the socket (55), configured by successive divisions (58) made on some of the second folding lines ( 7) that delimit two consecutive second sectors of the immobilizer (5) (see also in fig 2), being projected towards said second sectors, and said heel (57) being delimited laterally in these second sectors (61, 62, 63, 64) by means of fourth fold lines (59), to fold inwards. This helps to strengthen the strength of the socket (55).

As for the second laminar templates (6), it is preferred that they be materialized in double-ribbed cardboard with a thickness of 5 millimeters that provides greater protection to the product.

Indicate that the second lateral separation sectors (62) may comprise hooking tabs (69) (see fig 2) to each other to facilitate the assembly of the immobilizers (5) from the corresponding second template (6).

According to the invention, you can arrange as many rows as you want. For example, in fig 6 you can see a case with four rows, and you can see how the bottom sectors (61) of the second corresponding templates (6) will be in contact with each other two by two (in pairs). in Fig 7 a case with three rows is seen, and it is appreciated how the bottom sectors (61) of the second corresponding templates (6) will be in contact with each other two by two in a pair, and how the loose row is positioned with its bottom sectors (61) oriented inwards.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the way it is carried out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to modifications in detail as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
