CONSTITUTION:Holes 3 are formed through the opposite side walls 2a and 2b of a bottle container 2 in such a manner as to permit the passage of the projecting prongs of a forklift through the spaces between the neck parts of adjacent bottles 1 received in the bottle container 2 and the transportation and cargo work of the bottle container 2 is effected by a forklift equipped with the projecting prongs so sized and shaped as to be passed through the holes 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bottle container and a method of carrying and handling the container. More specifically, the present invention relates to a bottle container that can be transported without accommodating a pallet when the bottle is accommodated in the bottle container and a method of transporting and handling the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the handling of bottle containers used for transporting bottles and the like has relied on manpower, but due to lack of manpower, speeding up of work, etc., it has shifted to mechanical handling. This mechanical handling requires some kind of transport material such as pallets to transport bottle containers by forklift.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional mechanical handling of bottle containers using the above-mentioned transportation materials such as pallets, it is difficult to store, manage, and recover the pallets, etc., if consistent transportation and handling management is attempted. The problem arises that

In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a bottle container that enables mechanical loading and unloading of the bottle container without using a carrying material such as a pallet, and the transportation and the like.
Try to realize a cargo handling method.

[0005]

In the bottle container of the present invention, a box-shaped bottle container capable of accommodating a plurality of bottles each having a narrow neck in an upright state is provided.
The bottle container is characterized in that through holes are provided in both opposite side wall portions of the bottle container so that the forks of the fork of the forklift can be inserted into the space between the neck portions of the bottles accommodated in the bottle container.

In addition, the bottle container of the present invention can be transported and
In the method of loading and unloading, a fork having a claw having a thickness that allows the hole provided in the bottle container to be inserted is attached to a forklift, and the bottle container is transported and loaded by the forklift.

By adopting this structure, a bottle container capable of mechanically loading and unloading a bottle container without using a carrying material such as a pallet and a method of transporting and loading the same are obtained.

[0008]

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the bottle container 2 of the forklift 5 is inserted so that the claws 6 of the forks 5 of the forklift can be inserted between the necks of the adjacent bottles 1 housed in the bottle container 2. A through hole 3 is provided in the opposing wall portion, and a fork 5 of the forklift is made thick enough to allow the hole 3 provided in the bottle container 2 to be inserted as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the pawl 6 of the fork 5 can be inserted into the hole 3 of the bottle container 2 to be lifted and transported.

[0009]

1 is a view showing a bottle container in an embodiment of the present invention, (a) is a top view, (b) is a front view, FIG.
(C) is a side view. In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a box-shaped bottle container 2 capable of accommodating a plurality of bottles 1 each having a narrow neck (6 bottles in the figure) in an upright state.
The side walls 2a facing each other so that the forks 6 of the fork of the forklift can be inserted through the space between the necks of the adjacent bottles 1.
The through hole 3 is provided in 2b.

Although two through holes 3 are provided in one wall portion in the figure, three or more holes may be provided. Although the partition 4 is provided in the figure, in such a case, the partition 4 is also provided with a hole similar to the side wall portion, or the height of the partition 4 is set to the lower end of the hole 3. Just do it. Further, the holes 3 may be provided not only in the opposing wall portions but also in the wall portions orthogonal to the wall portions.

A method of transporting / loading the bottle container thus configured will be described below. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the width w of the claw 6 of the fork 5 mounted on the forklift is made smaller than the width w of the hole 3 provided in the bottle container 2, and the claw 6 of the fork 5 can be inserted into the hole 3. Keep it. Further, the pitch p of the claws 6 of the fork 5 is made equal to the pitch P of the holes 3 of the bottle container and attached to the support member 7.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3A, the fork 5 can be mounted on a forklift 8 and its claw 6 can be inserted into the hole 3 of the bottle container 2 to be lifted and transported. In this case, a plurality of bottle containers 2 can be supported in parallel on the claws 6 of the fork 5 as shown in FIG. 3B, or can be stacked in a plurality of stages as shown in FIG. 3C. In this way, transportation and cargo handling can be performed.

[0013]

According to the present invention, opposite side walls are provided so that the forks of a forklift can be inserted through the space formed between the necks of adjacent bottles of a bottle container having a narrow neck. By providing a hole in the part, it is possible to carry and carry by a forklift without using a carrying material such as a pallet, and it is possible to omit the storage and management of the carrying material such as a pallet.
