Description

  The present invention relates to a bottle carrier for carrying a plurality of bottles and a bottle collection method using the bottle carrier.

  After a banquet is over at a hotel or ryokan, it is necessary to clear a large number of bottles of beer, juice, wine, etc. Conventionally, for example, a plurality of bottles are placed on a bottomed box-like transporting device or tray as in Patent Document 1, and are carried to the storage location of the bottle case away from the banquet hall, and the bottles are hand-held one by one. The work of grabbing it, transferring it into the bottle case and collecting it was repeated many times.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-315529

  However, as in the past, the bottles carried by the transporter or tray were grabbed by hand and collected in the bottle case. The more bottles, the more time it takes to collect the bottles. It takes effort. Especially in hotels and inns, it took a lot of effort and time because a lot of bottles had to be cleaned up. Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bottle transporter or the like that can reduce labor for collecting bottles and shorten the work time. is there.

  In order to solve the above problems, according to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bottle transporter for transporting a plurality of bottles, the bottom plate supporting the bottom of the bottle, and the bottom plate being detached from the bottom of the bottle. There is provided a bottle transporter characterized by comprising a support part that is detachably supported and a guide part that guides a bottle from which a bottom plate is drawn and dropped. According to the above configuration, a plurality of bottles are carried by supporting them on the bottom plate, and when collecting these bottles, the plurality of bottles are dropped at once by a simple operation of pulling out the bottom plate, for example, in a bottle case. Can be recovered. Therefore, for example, compared to collecting bottles one by one from the bottle transporter and transferring them to the bottle case, the labor required for collecting the bottles can be greatly reduced, and the work time can be greatly increased. Can be shortened. In addition, since the drop of the bottle is guided by the guide part, the drop position of the bottle can be adjusted by the guide part. If the bottom plate is opened and there is no guide, the drop angle of the bottle is not stable because the drop of the bottle is not guided. For example, if the inclination when the bottle is dropped is too large, it may hit the partition in the bottle case and cannot be collected at a desired position, or the bottle may be broken. In this regard, according to the above aspect, the bottle can be stably dropped at an angle at which it is difficult to break by the guide portion, and the bottle can be collected at a desired position of the bottle case.

  Further, in the above aspect, the guide portion is a plate-like member disposed on the bottom plate, and the support portion is provided on the guide portion, and supports the bottom plate so that the bottom plate can be pulled out from the side portion of the guide portion. And the support portion constitute a bottom plate support, and the bottom plate support has a placement surface placed on the opening edge portion of the bottle case that can receive and accommodate the dropped bottle. According to the above aspect, a plurality of bottles can be collected in the bottle case at a time by placing the bottom plate support on the opening edge of the bottle case and dropping the bottle by pulling out the bottom plate. Moreover, a bottle can be collect | recovered in the desired position in a bottle case by changing the position which mounts a baseplate support body in a bottle case.

  In the above aspect, the guide portion is formed with a plurality of through holes at a predetermined interval, and the plurality of through holes are arranged at an arrangement interval corresponding to the arrangement interval of the bottles accommodated in the bottle case. According to the above aspect, according to the above aspect, by placing the bottom plate support on the opening edge of the bottle case and pulling out the bottom plate, the bottle is dropped almost vertically, for example, the bottle case Multiple bottles can be collected at once according to the inner partition.

  Further, in the above aspect, the bottle head support in which a plurality of through holes supporting the head of the bottle is formed is detachable, and each of the plurality of through holes is at least larger than the outer diameter of the bottle mouth of the bottle. It has an inner diameter that is large and smaller than the outer diameter of the bottle body. According to the above aspect, the bottle can be firmly supported by the bottle head support and the bottom plate by mounting the bottle head support so that the bottle mouth is inserted into the through hole of the bottle head support. By turning the bottle carrier upside down with the bottle head support attached, the bottle can be turned upside down so that the bottle mouth is down. Thereby, the liquid remaining in the bottle can be discharged all at once from the bottle mouth. Therefore, the working efficiency can be greatly improved as compared to the case where the bottles are held one by one and inverted to discharge the remaining liquid.

  In order to solve the above problems, according to another aspect of the present invention, a bottle collection method for storing a plurality of bottles in a bottle case using a bottle carrier, the bottle carrier supporting a bottom of the bottle. A bottom plate, a support portion that supports the bottom plate so that the bottom plate can be pulled out so that the bottom plate is detached from the bottom portion of the bottle, and a guide portion that guides the bottle to which the bottom plate is drawn and dropped, and the bottle is supported by the bottom plate. In this state, the bottom plate support is placed on the opening edge of the bottle case so that the bottom plate is placed on the opening of the bottle case, and the guide plate is pulled out by pulling the bottom plate away from the bottom of the bottle. A bottle collection method is provided, wherein a bottle is dropped while being guided and collected in a bottle case. According to the above aspect, the labor required for the bottle collection operation can be greatly reduced, and the operation time can be greatly reduced. In addition, since the drop of the bottle is guided by the guide portion, the bottle can be dropped without being easily broken and can be collected at a desired position according to the partition of the bottle case.

  Further, in the above aspect, when liquid remains in the bottle, the bottle head is configured to be detachably formed with a plurality of through holes that support the head of the bottle before the bottle is collected in the bottle case. Attach the support to the bottle carrier and support it with the through hole in the bottom plate and the bottle head support, and turn the bottle carrier upside down so that the bottle head support is at the bottom. Drain the remaining liquid from the bottle mouth, and when the bottle is empty, return the bottle head support to the top and place the bottom plate support on the bottle case so that the bottom plate is placed over the bottle case opening. The bottle is dropped while being guided by the guide part and collected in the bottle case by being placed on the opening edge of the bottle and pulling out the bottom plate so as to be detached from the bottom part of the bottle.

  Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present specification and drawings, components having substantially the same functional configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

<First Embodiment>
First, the bottle carrier according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a bottle carrier 20 and a bottle case 10 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the bottle carrier 20 of FIG. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the bottle carrier 20 of FIG. 1 viewed from below. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IV-IV in FIG. The Z direction is a vertical direction and is a direction perpendicular to the XY plane.

  A bottle case 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a resin case that can accommodate a maximum of 12 bottles 1. The bottle case 10 is used for delivery of beer, for example, at a liquor store. Examples of the bottle 1 include those that contain liquids such as beer, juice, wine, and liquor. In the present embodiment, a beer bottle that houses beer is taken as an example of the bottle 1. The bottle 1 has a cylindrical body 3 whose lower end is closed at the bottom (bottle bottom) 2, and a head (neck) 5 having an outer diameter smaller than that of the body 3. With. A bottle mouth 4 is opened at the tip of the head 5. The bottle 1 of the present embodiment is exemplified by a case where the head 5 has a tapered shape whose diameter increases downward as shown by a dotted line in FIG. 1, but even if the head 5 is not tapered. Good.

  The bottle case 10 includes an upper plate 12, a bottom plate 14, and side plates 16. The bottle case 10 is provided with a partition 18 for arranging 12 bottles 1 in a lattice pattern at predetermined arrangement intervals, four in the X direction and three in the Y direction. The upper plate 12 includes an opening 122 for taking in and out the bottle 1 and an opening edge portion 124 around the opening 122. Each side plate 16 is formed with a window 162 so that the stored bottle 1 can be confirmed.

  The bottle carrier 20 can carry not only the empty bottle 1 containing no beer but also the bottle 1 containing beer. The bottle 1 containing beer may or may not be unplugged. The bottle transporter 20 of the present embodiment can exert a tremendous effect by being used when, for example, a large amount of bottles 1 are cleared after a banquet is finished at a hotel or inn. Needless to say, the bottle carrier 20 of the present embodiment can also be used when the bottle 1 containing beer is transported from the storage location of the bottle case 10 to a banquet hall or the like in preparation for a banquet in a hotel or inn.

  The bottle transporter 20 according to the first embodiment is configured to be able to carry a maximum of six bottles 1 and to store the bottles 1 by dropping them into the bottle case 10. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bottle carrier 20 includes a bottom plate 30 that supports the bottom 2 of the bottle 1, a bottom plate support 40 that supports the bottom plate 30 so that the bottom plate 30 can be pulled out, and a bottom plate support 40. And an upper plate 50 disposed to face the upper side (the negative side in the Z direction). The bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50 of this embodiment are both resin rectangular plates. The material of the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50 is not limited to this, and may be wooden or the like.

  A metal handbag 22 is attached to the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50. However, the material of the handbag 22 is not limited to this, and may be made of resin or wood. The handbag 22 is substantially U-shaped and includes two foot portions 222 and a grip portion 224 that connects these foot portions 222. The foot part 222 and the grip part 224 of this embodiment are integrally formed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the foot 222 and the grip 224 may be separated and connected with a screw or an adhesive. The two legs 222 are fixed to the side surfaces of the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50 on the positive side and the negative side in the Y direction by screws, adhesives, or the like. The height of the grip portion 224 is not limited to that illustrated. The height of the grip 224 may be at least higher than the upper plate 50, and the length of the foot 222 may be adjusted to be lower than the head 5 of the bottle 1, for example.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50 are connected by the feet 222 of the handbag 22. In this embodiment, the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50 are further connected by four metal links 24 in order to increase the connection strength between the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50. However, the material of the link 24 is not limited to this, and may be made of resin or wooden. In FIG. 2, the four corner edges 42 of the bottom plate support 40 and the four corner edges 52 of the upper plate 50 opposed thereto are connected by links 24. The link 24 in FIG. 2 is fixed to the side surfaces on the positive side and the negative side in the Y direction of the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50 with screws, an adhesive, or the like. The position of the link 24 is not limited to the corner edge portion, and may be provided at any position as long as it does not interfere with the drawing operation of the bottom plate 30. As described above, the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50 can be connected by the handbag 22 alone, and therefore the link 24 may be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom plate support 40 guides the bottle 1 that the bottom plate 30 is pulled out and dropped by a support portion 44 that supports the bottom plate 30 so that the bottom plate 30 can be removed from the bottom portion 2 of the bottle 1. The guide part 46 is provided. The guide portion 46 of the present embodiment has a rectangular plate shape, and a support portion 44 is formed on the lower side (positive side in the Z direction). The bottom plate 30 is supported by the support portion 44 below the guide portion 46. However, it is configured to be pulled out to the positive side in the X direction. Specifically, the guide portion 46 is a plate-like member having an upper first surface 461 and a lower second surface 462 that are parallel to each other, and the support portion 44 is provided at the edge of the second surface 462 of the guide portion 46. Is formed.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the support portion 44 of the present embodiment includes a side surface 47 (a positive side surface and a negative side surface in the X direction and a positive side surface and a negative side surface in the Y direction) of the guide portion 46. The bottom plate 30 is formed on the edge of the second surface 462 of the side surface 47 (the negative side surface in the X direction and the positive side surface and the negative side surface in the Y direction) other than the positive side in the X direction. The support portion 44 has the side surface 47 extending below the bottom plate 30 and the tip thereof being bent into an L-shaped cross section to form a groove 442 on the inner side. The bottom plate 30 is slidably inserted into the groove 442. At this time, even after all the bottles 1 have fallen, the bottom plate 30 can be completely pulled out by further pulling out the bottom plate 30 from the groove 442. In this case, when the bottle carrier 20 is used again, the bottom plate 30 is inserted into the groove 442. However, the bottom plate 30 may be configured not to be pulled out. For example, a latching portion may be provided on the bottom plate 30, and the bottom plate 30 may be pulled out after all the bottles 1 have fallen, and may be hooked into the groove 442 without being pulled out.

  In the present embodiment, when the bottle carrier 20 is placed on the bottle case 10 as illustrated in FIG. 1, the bottom surface 444 of the support portion 44 is placed so as to contact the upper plate 12 of the bottle case 10. In this respect, the bottom surface 444 of the support portion 44 functions as a placement surface that is placed on the bottle case 10.

  As shown in FIG. 3, ribs 443 as shown in FIG. 3 may be provided in order to increase the strength of the support portion 44. By providing the rib 443, the bending of the bottom plate 30 due to the load of the bottle 1 can be reduced. The rib 443 in FIG. 3 is arranged so as to extend in the Y direction in the support portion 44 and is connected to the tip of the support portion 44. The rib 443 may be configured integrally with the support portion 44 or may be configured separately. Further, the shape of the rib 443 is not limited to the illustrated one.

  A grip portion 322 that protrudes from the side surface 32 is formed on a part of the side surface 32 in the drawing direction (the positive side in the X direction) of the side surface 32 of the bottom plate 30. The bottom plate 30 can be pulled out from the support portion 44 by grasping the grip portion 322 by hand. This makes it easy to pull out the bottom plate 30. Further, the grip portion 322 may be configured integrally with the bottom plate 30, or may be configured separately from the bottom plate 30 and attached to the bottom plate 30. Further, the shape of the grip portion 322 is not limited to the illustrated shape. In the present embodiment, the case where the bottom plate 30 is configured to be drawable from the positive side in the X direction is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the bottom plate 30 may be configured to be drawable from the negative side in the X direction. May be configured to be pulled out from both the negative side and the positive side in the X direction. When the bottom plate 30 is configured to be drawable from the negative side in the X direction, the grip portion 322 is also formed on the side surface of the bottom plate 30 on the negative side in the X direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the guide portion 46 is formed with a plurality of cylindrical through holes 48 that penetrate from the first surface 461 to the second surface 462. However, the shape of the through hole 48 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be, for example, a rectangular tube shape. In the guide portion 46 of the present embodiment, a total of six through holes 48 are arranged at predetermined intervals in a lattice pattern, two in the X direction and three in the Y direction. The upper plate 50 is also formed with a total of six cylindrical through holes 54 penetrating from the upper first surface 501 to the lower second surface 502. However, the shape of the through hole 54 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be a rectangular tube shape, for example. The body 3 of the bottle 1 is inserted into the through hole 48 and the through hole 54. The through hole 48 has a large inner diameter such that a slight gap is formed between the inner wall 482 and the body part 3 of the bottle 1, and the through hole 54 also has an inner wall 542 and the body part 3 of the bottle 1. The inner diameter is large enough to leave a slight gap between the two.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the through-hole 48 and the through-hole 54 overlap each other in plan view from above, and the body 3 of the bottle 1 is placed in each of the pair of through-holes 48 and 54 that overlap each other. Inserted. Before the bottom plate 30 is pulled out, the bottom plate 30 is supported by the bottom plate 30 with the bottom 2 of the bottle 1 inserted into the through hole 48. That is, since the bottom plate 30 is exposed from the through-hole 48, the bottom plate 30 supports the lower part of the bottom 2 of the bottle 1 inserted into the through-hole 48 as shown by the dotted line in FIG. For this reason, by pulling out the bottom plate 30, the bottom plate 30 is detached from the bottom portion 2 of the bottle 1 and is no longer supported, so that the bottle 1 can be naturally dropped (dropped by its own weight). At this time, each bottle 1 falls while passing through the through hole 48 and is guided by the inner wall 482 of the through hole 48. The through hole 54 of the upper plate 50 also has an effect of preventing the bottle 1 supported by the bottom plate 30 from overturning.

  FIG. 5 is a view for explaining the relationship between the arrangement of the through holes 48 of the guide portion 46 and the arrangement interval of the bottles 1 accommodated in the bottle case 10, and is a view of the bottle case 10 as viewed from above. . Wx in FIG. 5 is an arrangement interval in the X direction of the bottles 1 accommodated in the bottle case 10, and Wy is an arrangement interval in the Y direction. On the other hand, in FIG. 3, the through holes 48 of the bottle carrier 20 are indicated by dotted lines, Vx in FIG. 3 is the arrangement interval in the X direction of the bottles 1 accommodated in the bottle carrier 20, and Vy is the arrangement in the Y direction. It is an interval.

  The through holes 48 of the bottle transporter 20 are arranged at an arrangement interval corresponding to the arrangement interval of the bottles 1 accommodated in the bottle case 10. In this embodiment, the arrangement interval Vx in the X direction of the through holes 48 in FIG. 3 is equal to the arrangement interval Wx of the bottles 1 in the X direction of the bottle case 10 in FIG. 5, and the arrangement in the Y direction of the through holes 48 in FIG. The interval Vy is equal to the arrangement interval Wy of the bottles 1 in the Y direction in the bottle case 10 of FIG. According to this, by placing the bottle carrier 20 on the opening edge portion 124 of the bottle case 10, pulling out the bottom plate 30 and dropping the plurality of bottles 1 into the bottle case 10 as they are, A plurality of bottles 1 can be collected at a time according to the partition 18.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, if the storage area of the bottle case 10 is divided into six areas, that is, a positive area A and a negative area B in the Y direction, six bottle areas 10 and 6 are provided in the area A and the area B, respectively. The bottle 1 can be accommodated in all the accommodation areas of the bottle case 10 by two times. That is, the bottle transporter 20 is placed in the area A at the first time, the bottom plate 30 is pulled out, the six bottles 1 are dropped and accommodated in the bottle case 10, and the bottle transporter 20 is placed in the area B the second time. Then, the bottom plate 30 is pulled out and the next six bottles 1 are dropped and accommodated in the bottle case 10. Thereby, the bottle 1 can be accommodated in all the accommodation areas of the bottle case 10 twice. Thus, the bottle 1 can be accommodated in a desired position according to the partition 18 in the bottle case 10 by changing the position where the bottle carrier 20 is placed on the bottle case 10. When the bottle carrier 20 is placed in the area A of the bottle case 10, the bottle carrier 20 is placed so that the grip portion 322 of the bottom plate 30 faces the negative side in the X direction, and the bottle carrier is placed in the area B. When placing 20, the bottle carrier 20 is placed so that the grip portion 322 of the bottom plate 30 faces the positive side in the X direction, so that the bottom plate 30 can be easily pulled out in any case.

(Bottle recovery method using the bottle carrier of the first embodiment)
Next, a bottle collection method for storing the bottle 1 in the bottle case 10 using the bottle carrier 20 of the first embodiment having such a configuration will be described. In this embodiment, the case where the empty bottle 1 is carried by the bottle carrier 20 and collected in the bottle case 10 is taken as an example. 6A, 6B, 7A, and 7B are explanatory diagrams of a bottle collection method using the bottle carrier 20 according to the first embodiment. 6A and 6B are perspective views showing the external appearance of the bottle carrier 20 and the bottle case 10. 6A shows a state in which the bottle carrier 20 on which six empty bottles 1 are supported is placed on the opening edge portion 124 of the bottle case 10, and FIG. 6B shows a state in which the bottle carrier 20 is supported by the bottle carrier 20. In this state, the empty bottle 1 of the book is dropped and accommodated in the bottle case 10. 7A and 7B are cross-sectional views of the bottle carrier 20 and the bottle case 10. FIG. 7A shows a state where three empty bottles 1 supported on the negative side in the X direction of the bottle carrier 20 are falling toward the bottle case 10, and FIG. In this state, three empty bottles 1 supported on the positive side of the direction are falling toward the bottle case 10.

  First, as shown in FIG. 6A, the bottom plate support is made so that the bottom plate 30 is disposed on the opening 122 of the bottle case 10 with the six empty bottles 1 supported by the bottom plate 30 of the bottle transporter 20. The body 40 is placed on the opening edge 124 of the bottle case 10. At this time, according to the partition 18 of the bottle case 10, the bottle carrier 20 is placed in an area where the bottle 1 is not yet accommodated. In FIG. 6A, since the bottle 1 is already accommodated in the area A of the bottle case 10, the bottle transporter 20 is placed in the area B where the bottle 1 is not accommodated.

  Next, the bottom plate 30 is pulled out in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 6A. Then, first, as shown in FIG. 7A, the support of the three empty bottles 1 supported on the negative side in the X direction of the bottle carrier 20 is released and falls toward the bottle case 10. When the bottom plate 30 is further pulled out to the positive side in the X direction from the state of FIG. 7A, the support of the three empty bottles 1 supported on the positive side in the X direction of the bottle carrier 20 is removed as shown in FIG. 7B. Then, it falls toward the bottle case 10. In this way, all six bottles 1 are accommodated in the bottle case 10 as shown in FIG. 6B.

  When the bottle 1 falls as shown in FIG. 7A or 7B, the bottle 1 is guided by the inner wall 482 of the through hole 48 of the guide portion 46, and is substantially perpendicular to the XY plane without tilting ( Fall vertically). For this reason, even if it is made to fall naturally from the upper part and accommodates in the bottle case 10, the bottle 1 is hard to be broken. That is, since the bottom part 2 of the bottle 1 is usually thicker than the side surface, it is harder to break when falling in a state of being nearly vertical. However, in the configuration in which the bottom plate 30 supporting the bottom portion 2 of the bottle 1 is pulled out, the bottle 1 is easily pulled in the direction in which the bottom plate 30 is pulled out due to friction caused by the weight of the bottle 1 when the bottom plate 30 is pulled out.

  Therefore, if the bottom plate 30 can be simply pulled out without providing the guide portion 46 as in the present embodiment, the falling bottle 1 is easily tilted. Further, for example, in a configuration in which the bottom plate 30 is simply opened and there is no guide, such as a bottom-open container, the bottle 1 is inclined and easily drops, and the drop angle is not stable. For example, the greater the inclination when the bottle 1 falls, the more the container 1 is separated from the storage space of the bottle 1 partitioned by the partition 18 of the bottle case 10 and cannot be stored in a desired position, or the bottle 1 collides with the partition 18 and There is a high possibility that it will break. In this regard, according to the present embodiment, the bottle 1 can be stably dropped at an angle that is difficult to break by the guide portion 46 (for example, an angle close to vertical (vertical)), and the bottle 1 can be placed at a desired position in the bottle case 10. Can also be accommodated. As in the present embodiment, by configuring the bottle 1 to be guided by the through hole 48 of the guide portion 46, the bottle 1 can be prevented from being greatly inclined and dropped. In the present embodiment, since the inner wall 482 of the through hole 48 is vertical, the bottle 1 can be dropped into the bottle case 10 substantially vertically (vertically), so that the bottle 1 can be accommodated without being detached from the partition 18. .

  According to this embodiment, the bottle 1 can be collected in the bottle case 10 at a time by a simple operation of placing the bottle carrier 20 on the bottle case 10 and pulling out the bottom plate 30.

When the bottle carrier 20 is used again, the bottom plate support 40 and the top plate 50 can be expanded and returned to the state shown in FIG. 14A. In the sixth modification, the first surfaces 461 of the two guide portions 46 and the first surfaces 501 of the two upper plates 50 can be stacked so as to face each other. However, the second surfaces 462 of the two guide portions 46 and the second surfaces 502 of the two upper plates 50 may be overlapped so as to face each other.

(Seventh Modification of First Embodiment)
15A and 15B are external perspective views of a bottle carrier 20 according to a seventh modification of the first embodiment. In the sixth modification described above, the configuration in which the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50 are folded and overlapped is illustrated, but in the seventh modification, the link 24 is connected without folding the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50. The bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50 are configured so that they can be folded. FIG. 15A shows the bottle carrier 20 before the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50 are stacked, and FIG. 15B shows the bottle carrier 20 after the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50 are stacked. In FIG. 15B, a state in the middle of overlapping the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50 is indicated by a dotted line.

  In FIG. 15A, the link 24 is divided into two, and the two links 24 are pivotally supported by the pivot shaft 242. As a result, the link 24 can be bent by the pivot shaft 242. Each of the two feet 222 of the handbag 22 of FIG. 15A is rotatably attached to the side surface of the bottom plate support 40. Thereby, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 15A, the handbag 22 can be tilted from the position extending in the Z direction to the position extending in the X direction.

  According to the bottle carrier 20 according to the seventh modified example having such a configuration, it is possible to carry a maximum of six bottles 1 by using it with the link extended as shown in FIG. 15A. When collecting the bottle 1, the bottle carrier 20 is placed on the bottle case 10 and the bottom plate 30 is pulled out from the positive side in the X direction so that the six bottles 1 can be dropped into the bottle case 10 at once and collected. . Thereby, like 1st Embodiment, the effort concerning the collection | recovery operation | work of the bottle 1 can be reduced significantly, and working time can be shortened significantly.

  Further, when the bottle carrier 20 is cleared, the upper plate 50 can be overlaid on the bottom plate support 40 by bending the link 24 as shown in FIG. 15B, and the handbag 22 can be tilted so as to extend in the X direction. Thereby, the bottle carrier 20 can be stored compactly. When the bottle carrier 20 is used again, the link 24 can be extended to easily return the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50 to the state shown in FIG. 15A. In addition, two or more aspects arbitrarily selected from the illustrations in the respective modifications described above can be appropriately combined within a range that does not contradict each other.

Second Embodiment
A bottle carrier according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. When a large amount of the bottle 1 is cleared after a banquet or the like is finished at a hotel or inn, liquids such as beer and juice left in the bottle 1 may remain. Conventionally, the bottle 1 is carried to the storage location of the bottle case 10 with beer remaining, the bottle 1 is turned upside down one by one, and the remaining liquid is discharged from the bottle mouth to a disposal container such as a bucket or box-shaped container. Was emptied and then put into the bottle case 10 one by one. In particular, since the bottle mouth 4 of the bottle 1 is small, it takes time to empty the bottle 1. In the meantime, since the bottles 1 must be held by hand, if the bottles 1 were emptied one by one, it would take a lot of labor to empty a large number of bottles 1 and collect them in the bottle case 10. It took time.

  Therefore, in the second embodiment, when a liquid such as beer remains in the bottle 1, the bottle 1 can be inverted as it is without taking out the bottle carrier 20, and as shown in FIG. 19B described later. An example of the bottle carrier 20 configured so that the bottle carrier 20 can be placed in a disposable container 80 with the bottle 1 upside down is illustrated. The disposal container 80 may not be a dedicated container, and may be, for example, a simple bucket or another container. Further, when the liquid remaining in the bottle 1 is caused to flow on the sink, the bottle carrier 20 may be inverted and placed on the edge of the sink. According to this, the liquid remaining in the plurality of bottles 1 can be discharged into the disposal container at a time, and the hand can be released while it is being discharged. It is possible to carry other bottles 1). Moreover, as in the first embodiment, the emptied bottle 1 is placed on the bottle transporter 20 and placed on the bottle case 10 and pulled out to the bottle case 10 at a time by pulling out the bottom plate 30. Can be recovered. According to such 2nd Embodiment, the effort and time concerning collection | recovery of the bottle 1 can be reduced significantly.

  Hereinafter, a specific configuration example of the bottle carrier 20 according to the second embodiment will be described in detail. FIG. 16 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the bottle carrier 20 equipped with the bottle head support 70 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 17 shows the bottle carrier 70 and the bottle carrier of FIG. FIG. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the bottle carrier 20 of the second embodiment is configured so that the bottle head support 70 can be attached and detached.

  The bottle head support 70 is formed in a box shape having an open bottom surface and includes an upper plate 72 and a side plate 74. The upper plate 72 has a flat plate shape, and the side plate 74 extends downward from the periphery of the upper plate 72. A plurality of through holes 73 that support the head 5 of the bottle 1 are formed in the upper plate 72. Although the through hole 73 of this embodiment has illustrated the case where it has a perpendicular | vertical inner wall, it is not restricted to this, Even if the inner wall of the through hole 73 is formed in the taper shape which an internal diameter expands toward the downward direction. Good. By tapering the inner wall of the through-hole 73, it becomes easy to closely contact the tapered head 5 of the bottle 1, and the bottle 1 can be firmly supported when inverted. In FIG. 16, six through holes 73 are formed according to the arrangement position of the bottles 1. Each of the through holes 73 has an inner diameter that is at least larger than the outer diameter of the bottle mouth 4 of the bottle 1 and smaller than the outer diameter of the body portion 3 of the bottle 1. Thereby, even if the bottle carrier 20 is turned upside down, since the head 5 of the bottle 1 is supported by the plurality of through holes 73, the bottle 1 can be turned upside down without dropping.

  The bottle carrier 20 of the second embodiment is provided with link-like locking portions 26 at two locations on the positive side and the negative side in the Y direction. Each of the two locking portions 26 extends from the bottom plate support 40 to the top plate 50 and is fixed to the bottom plate support 40 and the top plate 50. The two locking portions 26 connect the bottom plate support 40 and the upper plate 50. On the other hand, protrusions 76 are provided at two locations on the positive side and the negative side of the bottle head support 70 in the Y direction. The protrusion 76 protrudes downward from the side plate 74 of the bottle head support 70, and is formed with a locking recess 77 that is open at the tip and into which the locking portion 26 can be inserted. Each locking portion 26 is locked by being inserted into each locking recess 77, and the bottle head support 70 is attached to the bottle carrier 20. Thus, the locking part 26 and the locking recess 77 function as a mounting part 75 for mounting the bottle head support 70.

  The mounting portion 75 of the second embodiment also has a height adjustment mechanism that adjusts the height of the bottle head support 70. However, the height adjusting mechanism of the bottle head support 70 may be provided separately from the mounting portion 75. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, for example, uneven jagged portions 262 and 772 in which crests and troughs are alternately repeated are formed on the contact surfaces of the locking portion 26 and the locking recess 77. Has been. When the locking portion 26 is inserted into the locking recess 77, the knurled portions 262 and 772 are fitted to each other and can be locked at a desired position in the Z direction.

  For example, when the head 5 of the bottle 1 is at a low position as shown in FIG. 18A and when the head 5 of the bottle 1 is at a high position as shown in FIG. The height mounted on the tool 20 can be changed. 18A and 18B correspond to the XVIII-XVIII cross-sectional view of FIG. In FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B, the locking concave portion 77 is inserted into the locking portion 26 until the bottle mouth 4 of the bottle 1 is inserted into the through-hole 73 and the gap disappears (the bottle head support 70 does not move downward). The bottle head support 70 is attached by being inserted. If the height from the bottom plate 30 of the bottle head support 70 attached in FIG. 18A is h, and the height from the bottom plate 30 of the bottle support 70 attached in FIG. The height h of the bottle support 70 when the head 5 is in the low position (FIG. 18A) is the height h of the bottle support 70 when the head 5 of the bottle 1 is in the high position (FIG. 18B). It is in a position lower than h ′. According to this, according to the height of the bottle 1, the height of the bottle head support body 70 can be adjusted so that the clearance gap between the through-hole 73 and the head 5 of the bottle 1 may be eliminated.

  The head portion 5 of the bottle 1 is tapered, and the length of the body portion 3 is different depending on the type of the bottle 1, so that the height of the head portion 5 in the portion having the same outer diameter may be different. For this reason, if the height at which the bottle head support 70 is locked to the bottle carrier 20 cannot be changed, a gap may be formed between the head 5 and the through hole 73 depending on the type of the bottle 1. There is sex. If there is a gap between the head 5 and the through-hole 73, the bottle 1 may move when the bottle carrier 20 is turned upside down, and the bottle head support 70 may be removed due to impact. . In this regard, in the second embodiment, the height at which the bottle head support 70 is mounted can be changed according to the type of the bottle 1, so that the gap between the through hole 73 and the head 5 of the bottle 1 can be eliminated. Therefore, the bottle head support 70 and the bottom plate 30 can be securely clamped between the bottle head support 70 and the bottom plate 30 so that the bottle 1 does not move when the bottle carrier 20 is turned upside down. Can do. In addition, since the height which becomes the same outer diameter becomes the same in the same kind of bottle 1, for example, when handling only the same kind of bottle 1, depending on the kind of bottle 1 without providing a height adjusting mechanism. You may comprise so that the height which mounts the bottle head support body 70 may be determined and fixed.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the two feet 222 of the handbag 22 of the second embodiment are rotatably attached to the two locking portions 26, respectively. A foot portion 222 of the handbag 22 is rotatably attached to each of the two locking portions 26. Thereby, the handbag 22 can be brought down from a position extending in the Z direction to a position (for example, a position extending in the X direction shown by a solid line in FIG. 16) that does not get in the way when the bottle head support 70 is attached. This makes it easy to attach the bottle head support 70 to the bottle carrier 20. Moreover, since the handbag 22 can be brought down, in order to clear the plurality of bottle transporters 20 in this state, these can be stacked and stored.

  Although not shown, a rotation suppression unit that suppresses rotation when the handbag 22 is returned to the position extending in the Z direction may be provided. For example, the rotation suppressing portion has a convex portion on one of the contact surfaces between the locking portion 26 and the foot portion 222, and a concave portion that fits into the convex portion is provided on the other contact surface between the locking portion 26 and the foot portion 222. It may be provided. According to this, since the convex portion is fitted into the concave portion when the handbag 22 is returned to the position extending in the Z direction, the rotation of the handbag 22 is suppressed at that position.
