Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bottle case capable of storing a round bottle and a rectangular bottle having a bottom area of similar value to each other under their stabled condition and further capable of reducing manufacturing cost of the case itself as well as its weight. SOLUTION: There is provided a bottle case in which partition plates 3, 5 for defining a bottle storing segment 6 are installed within a box-shaped case main body 1. A space between the partition plates 3, 5 is set to a size corresponding to a diameter of the round bottle and at the same time the upper segments of the partition plates 3, 5 not contacting with the round bottle in the bottle storing segment 6 are provided with same rectangular bottle holding segments 7 for holding the rectangular bottle in a stable manner. The partition plates 3, 5 are formed such that their lower portions than the mounting positions of the rectangular bottle holding segments 7 are cut away and their widths are formed to be narrow toward the bottom part of the case main body.

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.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a bottle case in which a round bottle and a square bottle having approximately the same bottom area can be stably stored without using a spacer or the like, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and reducing the weight. It is intended to provide.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a bottle case according to the present invention is a bottle case provided with a partition plate for defining a bottle storage portion in a box-shaped case main body. The distance between the plates is set to a size corresponding to the diameter of the round bottle, and a corner for holding the body of the square bottle and stably storing it on the upper part of the partition plate that does not contact the round bottle in the storage portion. In addition to the provision of the bottle holding portion, the partition plate is formed so as to be narrower toward the bottom of the case body by cutting out a portion below the installation position of the square bottle holding portion.

[0008]

1 and 2 show one embodiment of a bottle case of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view, and FIG. 2 is a holding state of a round bottle and a square bottle. It is a top view for explaining a holding state. In this bottle case, a partition plate 3 parallel to the short side wall 2 is provided in a rectangular box-shaped case body 1.
By providing two partition plates 5 parallel to the longitudinal side wall 4 at predetermined intervals, three bottle storage units 6 in the short direction and four in the longitudinal direction, a total of 12 bottle storage units 6 are formed. .

The interval between the partition plates 3 and 5 is as follows.
The size Ad is set to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the round bottle A to be stored, and each partition plate 3, 5 is provided with a square bottle holding portion 7 corresponding to the outer shape of the square bottle B. In addition, 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, and both wing portions 2b protrude in the direction of the partition plate 3 facing. It is in a state.

The curved shape formed at 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 square bottle holding portion 7 of the partition plate 3 is set to be a dimension Bd slightly larger than the length of one side of the square bottle B to be stored.

When the round bottle A is stored, the round bottle holding portion 7 is formed in a position and a size that does not come into contact with the round bottle A, and when the round bottle A is stored, the tip end surface thereof has a square shape. The bottle B is formed in a shape capable of contacting the barrel of the bottle B and holding the square bottle B between the square bottle holding portions 7.

That is, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 2, the bottle case shown in this embodiment has a round bottle A which has a body portion formed by partition plates 3, 5 and side walls 2, 4. The bottle B is stored in contact with the wall surface of the bottle 6, and the barrel B is stored in a state in which the body of the bottle B contacts the bottle holding portion 7 protruding into the bottle storage 6. Therefore, round bottle A is also square bottle B
Can be stored in a stable state in the bottle storage section 6, the square bottle B is not damaged by vibration during transportation, and the work of inserting a spacer is not required.

As shown in FIG. 1, the square bottle holding portion 7 has a vertical and vertical length and width dimensions necessary and sufficient to hold the square bottle B above the partition plates 3 and 5. Is provided. Further, each of the partition plates 3 and 5 has notches on both side portions 8 and 8 below the position where the square bottle holding portion 7 is provided, and is formed so as to gradually become narrower toward the bottom of the case body. .

Thus, the square bottle holding portion 7 is connected to the partition plates 3, 5
By using only the upper portion of the partition plate, the amount of material used can be reduced as compared with the case where the square bottle holding portion 7 is provided over the entire height of the partition plates 3 and 5, so that the manufacturing cost and the weight can be reduced.
Further, also in the partition plates 3, 5, the lower side portions 8, 8 which do not affect the holding of the bottle are cut out, and in particular, by forming the lower portion narrow, the material of this portion becomes unnecessary. In addition, a great effect can be obtained in reducing the manufacturing cost and weight. Also, the bottom plate portion and the side wall of the container body are not formed in a plate shape but are appropriately formed with a stolen or opened portion, so that the amount of material used can be reduced and the weight can be reduced.

The square bottle holding portion 7 can be formed on one of the partition plates in the bottle storage portion 6 so as to press the square bottle in the direction of the opposing partition plate.

[0016]

As described above, according to the bottle case of the present invention, both a round bottle and a square bottle can be stably stored in one kind of case, and the manufacturing cost of the case itself can be reduced. Reduction and weight reduction can be achieved.
