Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bottle case, and more particularly to a bottle case capable of stably storing a round bottle and a square bottle having substantially the same bottom area.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a bottle case for storing a bottle filled with various beverages and the like, particularly a glass bottle, a plastic bottle case provided with a partition plate corresponding to the outer shape of the bottle in the case body is known. Are known.

[0003] In such a bottle case, the spacing between the partition plates is usually set in accordance with the size of the round bottle. Therefore, when a bottle of the same capacity is stored in this bottle case, the bottle is loose. It was necessary to use an appropriate spacer so as not to be attached.

[0004] For example, when the bottom area of a four-bottle bottle (720 ml bottle) is 49 cm ² , the outer diameter of the round bottle is about 79 mm,
The length of one side of the square bottle is about 70 mm. Therefore, when the square bottle is stored in the storage portion between the partition plates provided corresponding to the round bottle, a gap of about 9 mm is generated.

[0005] In the state where such a gap is generated, the square bottles are largely shaken by the vibration during transportation, and the square bottles may collide with each other and be broken. Spacers had to be inserted.
For this reason, the square bottles are sometimes stored in a specially manufactured cardboard box for transportation or storage, or special cases for round bottles and square bottles are sometimes used.

In a plastic bottle case,
It is customary to provide a window corresponding to the bottle storage section on the case side wall so that the stored products can be checked from the side. However, when storing a jar in a bottle storage portion having such a window, when the jar is tilted or put in, the bottom of the jar jumps out of the window, and it is in a state of riding on the lower side of the window. There was sometimes. If the bottle is stored in such a state, there is a possibility that the bottle may be damaged by external impact or vibration.

Therefore, the present invention can store a round bottle and a square bottle having the same bottom area in a stable state without using a spacer or the like, and can prevent the bottom of the square bottle from protruding from the window. The purpose is to provide a bottle case that can be prevented.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, a bottle case of the present invention has a partition plate defining a bottle storage portion in a box-shaped case body, and the bottle storage portion is provided on the side wall of the case. In the bottle case having the corresponding window, the interval between the partition plates is set to a size corresponding to the diameter of the round bottle, at a position not in contact with the round bottle in the storage portion,
In addition to providing a square bottle holding portion for stably holding and storing the square bottle, a guide portion for guiding the bottom of the square bottle into the storage portion is provided on the inner surface of the side wall near the window. .

[0009]

1 to 3 show one embodiment of a bottle case of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a plan view, FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway front view, and FIG. It is a perspective view. In this bottle case, three partition plates 3 parallel to the short side wall 2 and two partition plates 5 parallel to the long side wall 4 are provided at predetermined intervals in the case body 1 of a rectangular box shape. A total of 12 bottle storage portions 6 are formed, three in the short direction and four in the long direction.

The installation interval between the partition plate 3 and the partition plate 5 is as follows:
The size Ad is set slightly larger than the outer diameter of the round bottle A to be stored, and a square bottle holding portion 7 for holding the square bottle is formed at a predetermined position of each partition plate 3 to protrude. Also,
The short side wall 2 is formed in a curved shape in which a central portion 2a bulges outward in each bottle storage portion 6,
The two wing portions 2b are in a state of protruding in the direction of the opposing partition plate 3.

Further, the longitudinal side wall 4 has a bottle housing 6
A window 8 is provided for externally identifying the stored items inside. The window portion 8 is formed to have a size such that a considerable area of the bottle body is exposed so that the shape of the bottle and the label can be easily checked.

The curved shape formed in the central portion 2a of the short side wall 2 has an inner surface corresponding to the peripheral surface of the body of the round bottle A. The distance between the partition plate 3 and the side wall 2 is set to be the above-mentioned dimension Ad. The distance between the inner surface of the wing portions 2b and the partition plate 3 is set to have a dimension Bd slightly larger than the length of one side of the square bottle B to be stored.

On the other hand, when the round bottle A is stored, the square bottle holding portion 7 is formed in a position and a size that does not come into contact with the round bottle A. Dimensions in which the square bottle B can be held in a stable state between the square bottle holding portions 7 that are in contact with the body of the bottle B and oppose each other, or between the square bottle holding portion 7 and the opposing side wall, that is, the dimensions described above. Bd.

In the vicinity of the window 8, when inserted into the bottle storage 6 in an inclined state, as shown in the square bottle C shown in FIG. A guide portion 9 is provided for guiding the bottom of the square bottle C into the bottle storage portion 6 while preventing the bottom portion of the square bottle C from jumping out of the container.

The guide portion 9 is composed of vertical ribs protruding from both sides of the lower portion of the window portion 8 within a range that does not hinder the storage of the round bottle A or the square bottle B in a proper position.
The upper part is connected to the inner surface of the long side wall 4 by a smooth arc surface or oblique side so that the bottom of the square bottle B can be smoothly guided.

The bottle case thus formed is shown in FIG.
As shown by the imaginary line, when the round bottle A is stored, the outer periphery of the body comes into contact with the wall surface of the bottle storage portion 6 formed by the partition plates 3, 5 and the side walls 2, 4, and the square bottle A When B is stored, it is sandwiched between the square bottle holding portion 7 and the square bottle holding portion 7 facing the square bottle holding portion 7 and the wall surface of the storage portion. Further, even when the bottom portion of the bottle B is inserted into the bottle storage portion 6 with the bottom portion facing the window portion 8 like the square bottle C, the bottom portion of the square bottle B comes into contact with the guide portion 9 and the bottle storage portion. Guided in 6.

Therefore, the round bottle A and the square bottle B having the same bottom area can be stably stored in the bottle storage unit 6, and the square bottle B may be damaged by vibration during transportation. This eliminates the need to insert spacers. There is no problem if both bottles are mixed.

The partition plate 5, the square bottle holder 7, the window 8,
The shape of the guide portion 9 can be arbitrarily set as long as its function can be achieved, and is not limited to the shape shown in the above embodiment. For example, the square bottle holding unit 7 may be provided with a triangular shape at the corner of the bottle storage unit 6.
May be provided at a plurality of locations so as to separately hold an upper portion and a lower portion (bottom portion) of the body portion.

[0019]

As described above, according to the bottle case of the present invention, both round bottles and square bottles can be stably stored in one kind of case, and the bottom of the square bottle has a window. It can also be prevented from jumping out of.
