Description

The invention relates to a foldable plastic cage carrier for carrying and storing bottles in an orderly manner.

A cage carrier is known from the prior art for carrying and storing normally six bottles simultaneously in a vertical position, comprising internally divided sectors and made of plastic or metal. Such a cage sling is constructed of a base plate with several circular or square horizontal recesses, and an upper plate parallel to the first but higher upstream having the through holes exactly aligned with the above-mentioned circular recesses provided on the base plate.

In this type of cage carrier, the bottles are lowered through the holes in the top plate until the bottom of the bottles is fully seated inside the recesses of the base plate, and the top plate then serves to hold the body of the bottles to avoid any deviation from the vertical position.

However, problems arise with the use of this type of carrier. The main problem is that such a large size cage sling has to be made, which must contain the height, length and width of six bottles in a vertical position.

While such a large size should be regarded as unavoidable when the cage slings are full of bottles, when the slings are empty their size may be inconvenient for both practical and economic reasons as it leads to the loss of considerable space during storage and transporting empty ones. lightweight slings.

This inconvenience is troublesome especially for traders and manufacturers who have to stock large quantities of this type of sling, as well as for private customers for whom the size of just one such sling can be a significant problem, especially because of the small amount of space normally available in modern houses.

The object of the invention is to provide a collapsible cage carrier which, apart from fulfilling the same utility purpose, will be fully foldable after emptying the bottles.

Collapsible plastic cage sling for the orderly carrying and storage of bottles, incorporating two inserts on top of each other, suspended inside the portal support structure, the top cage having a series of holes vertically aligned with the corresponding series of recesses on the the lower insert, according to the invention, is characterized in that the inserts are made of two pairs of rectangular leaf halves, fastened to each other by three hinges arranged along the axis of symmetry of these two inserts allowing each pair of leaf halves to open and close like a book, the portal structure the load bearing is stiffened with two crossbars, and in addition, one crossbar is approximately halfway up the vertical supports of the portal supporting structure, the other crossbar is at the base, and one of the wing halves has two of the at the ends of its inner longitudinal edge, fixing pins with a tip shaped like a flute mouthpiece, embedded inside the corresponding holes on the internal vertical surfaces of the supports of the portal structure

Uli 1 IICOŁCZ-Ull j Cli nu the transverse edges of the leaf halves of the inserts.

The portal support structure and the stiffening crossbars preferably have a double T-shaped cross-section, the crossbars having a lower horizontal wing wider than the upper horizontal wing.

The hinges for securing each wing of the leaves are made of three pairs of forks located on the inner longitudinal edge of one leaf half, mating with the same number of pins in the corresponding position on the inner longitudinal edge of the other half of the leaf, each pair of forks being a pair of ribs with the upper in a semicircular shape, with the corresponding pins with a tip shaped like a flute mouthpiece inserted into the opening corresponding to the U-shaped pin, which also has a semi-cylindrical upper outline.

Pins for attaching the thread to the vertical supports of the porous structure protrude from the outer surface of the elastically flexible projections at the two ends of the inner longitudinal edge of the wing halves, provided with the above-mentioned forks.

The maneuvering sliders have a C-shaped cross-section and are mounted on the outside of the double T-section of the vertical supports, which sliders have wedge-shaped teeth on the inside surface of their opposite edges locked inside the vertical grooves of the supports. At the top, the sliders have a gripping projection below the counter-projection formed on the outer side of the vertical supports of the portal bearing structure. The inside rim of the holes of the upper insert and the edges of the recesses of the lower insert are flared.

Along the crossbar of the portal support structure there is a handle in the form of two semi-cylindrical shells with internal protrusions, which are embedded inside the slots on the vertical wing of the double-T cross-section cross-section. The wedge teeth of the sliders with a fluted surface inside the vertical grooves of the portal supports touch the load-bearing structure.

Such a carrier can be folded to a size not larger than, for example, a picture frame, thereby facilitating the storage and transport of such a carrier.

The most important feature of the sling according to the invention is the special construction of the two horizontal inserts in that each of these inserts is made of two exactly symmetrical half wings, one of which is placed on the right of the supporting structure and the other is placed on the left of the structure, and moreover both halves of each insert are hinged to each other very closely at the respective inner longitudinal edges

Due to this kind of novel structure, the two inserts can be simultaneously closed like a book when the sling according to the invention is not in use, and then virtually each of the four wing halves of the sling can pivot upwards and inwards to change the horizontal position of use to a vertical position. storage at the same time as the other wings.

The simultaneous tilting of the four wing halves of the sling is accomplished by moving upward both straps (in fact maneuvering shoes) extending along the vertical supports and connected to the base of the four tilting elements.

In any case, upon completion of the counter-rotation, two halves of each insert abut against each other, remaining partially contained within the portal support structure in the vertical position. This means that, upon completion of the closure, both inserts come to a position where one insert is below the other inside. portal construction.

172 613

It is clear that the distance between the lower insert and the upper insert must be chosen so as to guarantee the possibility of completely tilting the components of the lower insert towards the vertical position without overlapping the base of the two insert components above.

Once closed, the physical size of the sling according to the invention is minimal in both height and length, limited only to the size of the portal support structure, and its width only slightly exceeds the thickness of the structure.

If the sling according to the invention is to be reused to hold bottles, then it is sufficient to open the four wing halves downwards and outwards and then reposition the two horizontal sling inserts with the aid of the maneuvering sliders mentioned above.

The subject of the invention is shown in the embodiment in the drawing, in which Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the cage sling according to the invention in the position of use, Fig. 2A - the sling according to the invention in the position of use in a side view, Fig. 2B - the sling in the closed position, in a side view, fig. 3 - a side view, in a section along the transverse plane III-Π in fig. 1, fig. 4 - an enlarged side view of the base of one of the maneuvering sliders, having the ability to slide vertically along vertical supports of the portal structure, and Fig. 5 - a section along the plane VV in Fig. 4.

As shown in Figs. 1-4, a cage sling according to the invention, all components of which are formed from plastic, has a portal structure 1 which has a double T-shaped cross-section and is made of two opposing vertical supports 1a connected at the at the top by a crossbar 1b to which they are connected by bevelled corners and two additional crossbars 1c, 1d, the crossbar 1c being approximately halfway up the supports 1a and the second crossbar 1d at the base of the vertical supports 1a. The crossbars 1c and 1d also have a double T-shaped cross-section, the lower wing being wider than the upper wing. Along the outer surface of the two vertical supports 1a are two box-shaped sliders 2, which have a height slightly less than the supports 1a and which can alternately be moved vertically.

Each of the sliders 2 has two identical pairs of projections 2a on the side, the first pair of projections 2a being approximately halfway up the supports 1a and the second pair at their base in positions that correspond exactly to the positions of the reinforcing crossbars 1 c and 1 d of the portal sections. a supporting projection 1, wherein at the top of each slider 2 there is a gripping projection 2b projecting outwards, and immediately above it there is a fixed counter-projection 1e formed on the outer side of the vertical supports 1a.

Figure 4 shows the positioning of the projections 2a of each pair at symmetrically opposite positions, one to the right and one to the left of the slider 2, all the projections 2a having horizontal circles 2c inserted inside respective slots 3 on the transverse edges of the inserts 4 and 5 of the carrier.

As shown in Fig. 5, each slider 2 has a C-shaped cross-section which allows it to be seated firmly from the outside on the double T-shaped section forming the vertical support 1a, the slider 2 is locked firmly on the c ^^ p ^ c ^ a double T-shaped vertical support 1a by a number of wedge teeth 2d formed on the inner surface of its opposing edges, which lock inside the double T-shaped vertical grooves of the vertical support 1a.

Two inserts 4, 5 are fixed between the vertical supports 1 and the portal support structure 1, the upper insert 4 being level with the upper crossbar 1c and the lower insert 5 being level with the basic crossbar 1d, the lower insert 5 having a series of recesses 5a for to accommodate bottoms of bottles, and the top insert 4 has through holes 4a

The openings are perfectly aligned vertically with the recesses 5a of the insert 5. The openings 4a have a flared inner edge, and the corresponding recesses 5a have flared peripheral edges.

Two pairs of wing halves 4b and 5b are secured by three hinges 6 arranged along the axis of symmetry of the two inserts 4 and 5, two of them being close to the ends and one in the middle position (see Fig. 1).

As shown in Fig. 5, to form a hinge 6, one of the two leaf halves 5b of each pair has forks 7 to receive a U-shaped pin 8 positioned on the other leaf half 5b of the same pair, the stable insertion of three the pins 8 inside the respective forks 7 virtually define the formation of the three above-mentioned hinges 6. which determine the structural continuity of the entire insert, and allow the rotation of both wing halves of each insert 4, 5 upward and in the UUL.

The U-shaped pin 8 is slightly pushed into the corresponding bifurcation 7 until the pins 7a of this bifurcation are seated in the opposite holes 8a of the pin 8, the dimensions of these elements being such that during insertion the pin 8 causes the ribs of the bifurcation 7 to open elastically as it contacts. the pins 7a with the side walls of the pin 8 until they snap into the holes 8a. The end section of the pins 7a is shaped like a flute mouthpiece, i.e. a shape that allows the forks 7 to be gradually opened. The ribs of the fork 7 return to their natural position as soon as the pins 7a are inserted into the holes 8a of the pin 8.

As shown in Fig. 5, the wing half 5b on which the forks 7 are located, at the two ends of its inner longitudinal edge, have the same number of projections 9. structurally identical to the ribs of the forks 7, however with small pins 9a at their outer surfaces.

This pair of pins 9a, also having ends shaped like a flute mouthpiece, allows the entire insert 5 to be attached to the portal support structure 1 as described above. The pins 9a are formed on the inner walls of the vertical supports 1a of the support structure 1, and two pairs of holes 1f are provided. opposite to each other and are horizontally aligned, one pair clearly above the central crosspiece 1c and the other one position clearly above the base crosspiece 1d. A pair of holes 1f near the middle crossbar 1c are provided to receive pins 9a of the upper insert 4, and a pair of holes 1f near the base crossbar 1d are used to receive pins 9a at the ends of the lower insert 5.

The following is a description of the operation of the cage sling according to the invention starting with the opening phase as shown in Figures 1, 2A and 3 when the inserts 4,5 are in the horizontal position of use.

Figure 3 shows how the lower insert 5 touches the ground and thus provides a support surface for the entire structure

In this opening phase, the flared edges of the openings 4a of the upper insert 4 and the flared edges of the recesses 5a of the lower insert 5 lie exactly on the sides of the crosspieces 1c and 1d, which use for this purpose lower wings that are wider than the upper wings In this case, the sides of the crosspieces 1c and 1d act as guides for the respective leaf halves, ensuring their support in a precisely horizontal position.

Figure 4 shows how, in the same opening phase, the slots 3 on the transverse edges of the leaf halves 4a and 5a contact the corresponding pins 2c. The tilting of the inserts 4 and 5 in the opening and closing phases is determined by sliding the sliders down or up. 2 for maneuvering, with the pins 2c protruding from

The projections 2a match the oblique slots 3 of the inserts. The special S-shape of the slots 3 prevents the sling from accidentally re-opening once it has been folded into the closed position. Also to prevent re-opening of inserts 4 and 5, as an alternative to the hub, in conjunction with the c slots 3, wedge teeth 2d of the sliders 2 sliding on the knurled surface on the inside of the vertical grooves of the vertical supports 1a in the form of a double T.

Figures 1 and 3 show the holder 10, made of two semi-cylindrical shells applied along the upper cross member 1b of the portal support structure. These semi-cylindrical shells forming the above-mentioned holder 1 have, on their inner surface, several projections 10a intended to be embedded inside the slots provided on the vertical wing of the cross-section. in the shape of a double T-bar 1b, the projections 10a being provided to avoid the risk of the entire handle 10 sliding or rotating relative to the horizontal bar 1b.
