Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to a bottle pallet used for arranging and, if necessary, stacking synthetic resin bottles called plastic bottles and the like.

(Conventional technology) Coke, youth, etc. are stored in synthetic resin bottles (hereinafter referred to as
It's called a plastic bottle. ) and distributed in packaging. When displaying or transporting a large number of PET bottles, a pallet for bottles made of Styrofoam is used, which has a fitting part for the bottom of the bottle on the top surface and a fitting part for the top of the bottle on the bottom surface. .

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The above-mentioned styrofoam bottle pallets had a problem in that they could not be used repeatedly.

Therefore, attempts have been made to mold conventional bottle pallets from hard synthetic resin so that they can be used repeatedly, but this poses the problem of being bulky when collecting and storing the pallets alone. Furthermore, the sizes of the plastic bottles are not necessarily standardized, such as the diameter and height of the caps that make up the top part of the bottle being different, and the thickness of the bottom part of the bottle being different, so it is difficult to fit the bottle into the fitting part. Because it is not possible to do so, or because it is not a tight fit, there are problems such as the stacking of several tiers becomes unstable and there is a risk of the cargo collapsing.

(Means for solving the problem) Therefore, this invention forms pallets for bottles from hard synthetic resin, and allows the pallets to fit each other. The above problem was solved by making it adaptable to changes in size.

That is, the bottle pallet of this invention has a bottom surface fitting portion formed on the top surface and a bottle top fitting portion formed on the bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface fitting portion is made of synthetic resin. The upper surface of the resin plate is formed with a concave portion surrounded by a plurality of island-shaped convex portions, and the fitting portion at the top of the bottle is connected to the bottom surface of the synthetic resin plate by the fitting portion at the bottom of the bottle. The inner wall of each fitting part is provided with a plurality of protrusions in the vertical direction to tightly fit the bottom or top of the bottle. Also, a downward flange is formed along the lower side of the periphery of the synthetic resin plate, and the downward flange is engaged with the outer side of the convex portion on the periphery of the synthetic resin plate among the plurality of convex portions. A fitting stepped portion is formed so that when the circular protrusion of one bottle pallet is loosely fitted into the recessed portion of the other bottle pallet, the downward flange comes into contact with the fitting stepped portion. It is characterized by contact.

(Function) According to the bottle pallet of this invention, the downward flange formed along the periphery of the lower surface is engaged with the fitting stepped portion formed on the convex portion of the periphery of the upper surface, so that a plurality of bottles can be pallets can be stacked in a fitted state with almost no gaps.

In addition, since multiple protrusions are provided in the vertical direction on the inner wall of each fitting part, a tight fit is ensured to accommodate the uneven size of the top and bottom of the plastic bottle, and the bottle is held securely. can do.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows the entire bottle pallet of this invention, which is made of a synthetic resin molded product, and has a downward flange 2 extending from the lower side of the periphery of a rectangular plate 1. By arranging a diamond-shaped convex part 3, a triangular convex part 4, or a small triangular convex part 5 in an island shape on the top surface of the bottle, the bottom part of the bottle is made up of a concave part 6a surrounded by the four convex parts 3, 4, and 5. Fitting parts 6, 6 for
are formed with the same pitch in both the vertical direction (direction of arrow A in the figure) and the horizontal direction (direction of arrow B in the figure). The side walls facing the fitting portions 6, 6 of the rhombic convex portion 3, triangular convex portion 4, and small triangular convex portion 5 are:
They are each curved with the same curvature, and protrusions 7, 7 are provided in the center to protrude in the vertical direction. Furthermore, stepped portions 8 and 8a are formed on the outside of the triangular convex portion 4 and the small triangular convex portion 5 located on the peripheral edge of the plate 1, and the downward flange 2 (of another bottle pallet) has stepped portions 8 and 8a. ) are engaged so that the lower end of the downward collar 2 can come into contact with it.

On the other hand, on the lower surface of the plate 1, as shown in FIG.
Circular protrusions 9, 9 are provided concentrically with the bottle, and fitting parts 10, 10 for the upper part of the bottle are formed. The inner wall of the circular protrusion 9 has four diametrically symmetrical grooves.
Projections 11, 11 are provided to protrude in the vertical direction.

In the above, in the fitting part 6 for the bottom part of the bottle, the protrusions 7, 7 are provided over the entire length of the fitting part 6, whereas in the fitting part 10 for the top part of the bottle, the protrusions 7, 7 are provided as shown in FIGS. As shown in Figure 5, protrusion 1
1 and 11 extend up to the middle part of the fitting part, and the protrusions 11 and 11 are not provided at the lower end of the fitting part, that is, at the entrance part.

In order to arrange and stack PET bottles in parallel using the bottle pallet of the above embodiment, the bottle pallet is first laid down on the floor or the like, and the PET bottles are arranged in parallel on the upper surface of the bottle pallet, as in the conventional method.

When juxtaposing them, the bottom of each plastic bottle is fitted into the fitting parts 6, 6.

Although the diameter of the bottom of the plastic bottle is not necessarily uniform, as shown by the chain line in FIG. Since the plastic bottle is deformed to the side, even if the diameter of the bottom of the plastic bottle is uneven, a tight fit can be achieved.

After the plastic bottles 12, 12 are placed upright in each fitting part, another pallet for bottles is placed on top of the plastic bottles 12, 12. In this case, a fitting part 10 for the upper part of the bottle provided on the lower surface of the bottle pallet,
10 are respectively fitted onto the top of the plastic bottle.

A cap 13 is screwed onto the upper part of the plastic bottle 12. Currently, there are two types of caps 13, as shown in Figures 4 and 5: one with a large diameter and tall (Figure 4), and one with a narrow diameter and short (Figure 5). . If the bottle is large in diameter and tall, the cap 13 will fit tightly; if the cap 13 is small in diameter and short, the annular flange 14 at the top of the plastic bottle 12 will fit tightly into the inlet of the fitting part 10. Since the bottle pallet above the juxtaposed PET bottles 12, 12 can be tightly fitted, the bottle pallet above the juxtaposed PET bottles 12, 12 is also reliably supported, and even if the PET bottles are piled up, instability can be avoided.

Fitting parts 6, 10 provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the bottle pallet
Since the vertical and horizontal pitches are the same, it is possible to freely change the vertical and horizontal directions of adjacent bottle pallets when arranging and stacking plastic bottles in parallel, making it possible to display plastic bottles in a variety of formats. can.

When the display of PET bottles is finished and a plurality of bottle pallets are to be collected, the bottle pallets are placed vertically facing each other, and the circular protrusions 9 on the lower surface of the plate 1 are aligned.
It can be loosely fitted into the recess 6a on the upper surface, and at this time, the downward collar 2 extending on the periphery of the lower surface engages and abuts the stepped portions 8, 8a formed on the periphery of the upper surface of the adjacent pallet, so that the sixth As shown in the figure, multiple bottle pallets can be stacked together with almost no gaps between them, making it compact and able to be packed together without collapsing, making it easy to handle during storage or transportation. Ru.

Further, since the upper surface of the plate 1 has a structure in which the convex portions 3, 4, and 5 are provided in an island shape, the upper surface of the plate 1 can be easily cleaned and kept in a clean state.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, according to this invention, the convex portions and circular protrusions are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the synthetic resin plate, which has the effect of being able to be used repeatedly. Since the is provided with protrusions that can be tightly fitted to the upper and lower parts of the PET bottles, the juxtaposition and stacking of the PET bottles can be stabilized regardless of the difference in size, and it is possible to prevent the cargo from collapsing during display or transportation.

Further, since the plurality of bottle pallets are fitted to each other and stacked on top of each other with almost no gaps, the pallets are compact and can be easily stored and transported without fear of collapse.

Furthermore, the fitting part of the bottle bottom formed on the top surface of the synthetic resin plate is formed by a concave part surrounded by a plurality of island-shaped convex parts, making it easy to clean the top surface of the plate and making it easier to clean the bottle pallet. It has the effect of keeping it clean.
