Abstract

A tray for packaging bottles 1 in superposed layers comprises a plate with first housings 30 on one surface for receiving the bottom of a bottle and second housings (40, figure 3) on the opposite surface of the plate for receiving the top of the bottles of the layer underneath, at least a part of the first housings 30 have a lateral wall 32 separating first and second housings, a portion of which has a resilient element 36 to engage the bottle, the element protruding inside the second housing when pushed by a bottle in the first housing. The resilient element may include a flexible leg (36a, figure 3) directed towards the base 31 of the first housing. Only the housings around the edge of the tray may have the resilient members. The tray may be plastic. The tray compensates for bottles of different sizes and increases pack stability.

Description

Bottle tray The invention relates to the packaging of bottles in superposed layers in s the form of palletizable loads. In particular it relates to a tray separating the layers of bottles in such a packaging.
rL.. --._ The invention fulfills the objective with a tray for packaging bottles in superposed layers, comprising a plate provided with first housings on one surface for receiving each the bottom of a bottle placed on the tray and scnnd hniicinc nn th curfir nnnncit tn cir1 nri ciirfc of th nIt According to a preferred embodiment the second housings are arranged so that the bottom or portions forming abutments of it come to bear on the cap of bottles that are introduced, the load being transferred to the bottles hv th rn in mnnr so c not to cn ice clefnrmMion or ectheti dmie protuberances 35 located in the space between adjacent first housings 30.
It is noted that the protuberances 35 are at a higher level than the lateral walls 32 of the first housings. A function of the protuberances is also to guide the bottles within the first housings.
According to another feature of the invention, the portions 35a of the wall of the protuberances forming the base of the second housings 40 are shaped so as to form abutments for bottle caps and are arranged to be in contact with the cap of the bottle below. The tray transfers the load to the s bottles below via the cap. This method does not create any undue stress around the neck of the bottle.
According to another feature also shown in figure 6 the free end 36d of the resilient element 36 is curved toward the center of the first housing 30 so as to allow the top of the bottle to enter even if the resilient element has been deformed Inwards According to another feature of the invention exemplified with figure 7, the is protuberances 35' on the periphery of the tray 2 have been so designed to improve the stability of the loaded unit by preventing the bottles from passing between them by making the gap smaller than the bottle.
Each first housing 30 may contain one or more of the features described. It may not be necessary to have these features in every first housing of the tray and therefore only selected first housings In the tray may contain the features -first housing around the edge of the tray for example.
The tray of the invention would generally be reused, however it may also be used for only one trip.
The tray of the invention may be adapted to any sized footprint. A 600x400mm footprint has been used as an example. Any bottle sizes and capacities, such as 0.501, 0.75L, 1.51 and 2L capacities are possible. The diameter of such bottles will vary according to the capacity nd individual style.
