Such bottle dividers are used in the transport or storage of bottles, specifically including wine bottles.The present invention relates to bottle dividers that are made of molded pulp. Such bottle dividers are used in the transport or storage of bottles, specifically including wine bottles.
Bottle dividers are known in practice. Such conventional bottle dividers are often made from moulded pulp originating from paper material. These bottle dividers comprise a sheet or layer made from a moulded pulp material separating different layers of bottles, and preferably separating bottles adjacent bottles in the same layer. This enables transport and storage of bottles, such as wine bottles.Bottle dividers are known in practice. Such conventional bottle dividers are often made from molded pulp originating from paper material. These bottle dividers include a sheet or layer made from a molded pulp material separating different layers of bottles, and preferably separating bottles adjacent bottles in the same layer. This allows transport and storage of bottles, such as wine bottles.
A problem with conventional bottle dividers is that labels or markings are damaged during transport. This damage is often caused by the bottle dividers, more specifically, such damage is caused by the surface roughness of the bottle divider. When transporting and handling bottles with the bottle divider, for example in cartons, boxes, crates and the like, such labels or markings can be damaged, thereby reducing the quality perception of a consumer.A problem with conventional bottle dividers is that labels or markings are damaged during transport.

The bottle divider according to the invention further comprises a number of denesting elements, such as nocks, protrusions, edges, stops, cams, and ridges.

These elements are configured to enable denesting or a bottle divider from a stack of bottle dividers. This allows easy handling of the bottle dividers and packing of bottles.
According to the present invention the moulded material of the bottle divider comprises an amount of a surface roughness reducing agent. By providing an amount of surface roughness reducing agent in the moulded pulp material for the bottle divider, the overall surface roughness on a substantial part of the contact surface of the bottle divider with a bottle is reduced. This prevents or at least reduces damaging a label or marking on the bottle. This increases the quality perception of a consumer. Surface roughness can be measured with the so-called Bendtsen measurement process. The surface roughness reducing measures of embodiments of the present invention reduce the Bendtsen measurement value (in ml/min). For example, a conventional rough moulded fiber material may have a Bendtsen value of about 2000 ml/min, while a material for the bottle divider may have a value of 200 ml/min or even less. It will be understood that other values can also be envisaged depending on a number of parameters.According to the present invention the molded material or the bottle divider comprises an amount or a surface roughness reducing agent.

It will be understood that the dimensions that are mentioned for the different illustrated embodiments are examples and other configurations and/or dimensions of a bottle divider can be envisaged in accordance with the invention.It will be understood that the dimensions that are mentioned for the different illustrated are different examples and other configurations and / or dimensions of a bottle divider can be envisaged in accordance with the invention.
In a preferred embodiment a marking is introduced into a bottle divider 602 (figures 6A-C) introducing insert 604 into a mould. Part 606 of insert 604 extends over the product edge 608 over a distance di3 of about 10 mm. In the illustrated embodiment a smaller edge 610 is provided.In a preferred embodiment a marking is introduced into a bottle divider 602 (figures 6A-C) introducing insert 604 into a mold. Part 606 or insert 604 extends over the product edge 608 over a distance of 3 or about 10 mm. In the illustrated embodiment a narrower edge 610 is provided.
When manufacturing a bottle divider 2, 102, 202, 302, 402, 502 in manufacturing process 5 702 (figure 7) in first preparation step 704 the moulded pulp is prepared including an amount of surface roughness reducing agent. In moulding step 706 the bottle divider in its raw embodiment is moulded. After transferring the divider in transfer step 708 to the drying mould a drying step 710 is performed. After terminating drying step 710, the releasing step 712 releases bottle divider 2, 102, 202, 302, 402, 502 from the drying mould. Optionally, insert 604 can be provided and/or labels can be provided. Optionally, drying step 710 is performed in a conventional manner or with the bottle divider remaining in the mould that is used in the moulding step.When manufacturing a bottle divider 2, 102, 202, 302, 402, 502 in manufacturing process 5 702 (figure 7) in first preparation step 704 the molded pulp is prepared including an amount or surface roughness reducing agent.
