Description

The present invention relates to boxes for transporting goods, which allow the consumer to demonstrate the goods transported in the box, and facilitate access to goods inside the box.

Many products are transported in crates open at the top. For example, there are many different forms or boxes in the beverage industry for transporting beverage bottles or relatively small units of beverage bottles, such as Sixpacks containing six bottles per pack, from manufacturing to retail). In retail conditions, boxes are usually stacked, so that access is only possible from above, and therefore access to products located in a box located in a relatively low position in the stack is possible only if all boxes above are removed. This is extremely inconvenient and time consuming. In addition, such boxes are usually designed to transport special types of consumer goods, such as bottles, so that other boxes can be used to transport other consumer goods.

Thus, it is preferable to provide boxes allowing more efficient and easier access to products transported in the box.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a box having a base and at least two pairs of opposing side walls, wherein one of the side walls is configured to remove products contained in the box. In this regard, the first side wall continues — from the base upwards in the vertical direction — at least partially only to a lower extraction height, less than the height of one or more of the remaining side walls. The extraction height is determined so that a side hole is formed by the first side wall having a measurement for access and / or extraction of products contained in the box through the side hole. The box further includes a blocking element extending between two opposite side walls adjacent to the first side wall and movable between the first and second positions, wherein the blocking element is located in the first position between the opposite side walls and at a distance from the first side wall, while blocking the element is made in the second position for laying on the first side wall, while the box further includes a latching mechanism containing a moving element, made which can be engaged with the opposite side walls and / or the locking element, for snapping, thus, the locking element in its first position by means of the opposite side walls.

In accordance with embodiments of the invention, the movable member is located on the blocking member and includes a latch biased to a first position, the movable member being configured to move the latch from a first position to a second position when actuated, each of the opposite side walls having a recess, in which the latch engages in the first position, so that the locking element is latched in a snap manner to the opposite side wall, and the latch in the second position is not engaged located in the recesses, so that the blocking element does not snap into contact with the opposite side wall.

In accordance with embodiments of the invention, the blocking element includes a bracket, a first rod located at the first end of the bracket, and a second rod located at the second end of the bracket, with the ends of the rods facing away from the bracket being deployed in an unfolded manner on opposite side walls. In such a configuration, the latching device includes, according to an embodiment, the first and second latching elements movable vertically, wherein the first latching element is located in the first rod and the second latching element is located in the second rod. Alternatively, the latching device may include first and second latching elements movable horizontally and arranged in a bracket. According to embodiments, the movable element may include first and second actuation elements that cooperate with the first and second latch elements, respectively, to move from the displaced first position to the second position. According to a further embodiment, in which the latching elements are moved horizontally and arranged in a bracket, the movable element may include a common actuation element that cooperates with the first and second latching elements to move from the displaced first position to the second position. In such a case, a mechanism may be further provided for transmitting horizontal movement of the common actuation element to two oppositely directed movements of the first and second latching elements or latching elements.

According to a further embodiment, the blocking element is disposed on opposite side walls in an unfolded and vertically movable manner, wherein the blocking element comprises a first latching element and a second latching element and opposite side walls including third and fourth latching elements. The latching elements are configured such that the first and third latching elements and the second and fourth latching elements engage with each other when the locking element is in the first vertical position, and so that the first and third latching elements and the second and fourth latching elements do not engage when the locking the element is located in the second vertical position. The movable element can move between the first position and the second position, while the blocking element is held in the first vertical position when the movable element is in the first position; and moving the blocking element from the first vertical position to the second vertical position is possible when the movable element is in the second position.

In accordance with this embodiment, the blocking element may include a bracket, a first rod made at the first end of the bracket, and a second rod made at the second end of the bracket, with the ends of the rods facing away from the bracket in a reversible and vertically movable manner on opposite side walls. Each of the opposite side walls includes a surface facing away from the lower side wall and having a first surface portion located at a distance from the lower side wall and a second surface portion restrained with respect to the first surface portion. In the first position, the blocking element is located on the second surface section, while there is a gap between the bracket and the first surface section when the blocking element is in the first vertical position, while the movable element in the first position is located in the gap, thereby preventing the blocking element from moving vertically .

In accordance with embodiments, the blocking element includes a bracket extending between opposite side walls and two rods located at opposite ends of the bracket, with the first end of the rods located at opposite ends of the bracket and the second end of the rods rotated in the corresponding side wall. Opposite side walls and the first side wall may include recesses for receiving the bracket and rods, it is possible that the recesses are such that the rods and the bracket are aligned in the first and / or second position (s) of the blocking element with the surface of the opposite side walls facing the first side wall, and / or with the outer surface of one side wall. The blocking element may be located in a second position at a distance from the base corresponding to about a third, half, or two-thirds of the height of the opposite side walls. In addition, the blocking element can be made for additional location in an additional position at a distance from the first side wall; in this case, the rods can be made telescopic to allow the blocking element to be located in the second or additional position.

According to embodiments of the invention, the box of the aforementioned type further comprises an insert for positioning on the base of the box, the box being made depending on the products received in the box.

According to embodiments, the insert may be removably connected to the base and / or side surfaces, preferably only when using special means. The insert may be in the form of a plate, and the first surface of the insert facing the base may be adapted to the structure of the base. The surface of the insert in the form of a plate, opposite the first surface, has a structure suitable for the received product. The insert may include racks (bushings, sleeves), longitudinal rods, transverse rods and / or recesses. Embodiments further provide a system that includes a drawer according to embodiments of the invention, as well as several inserts having a structure for various products, which is possible for one or more inserts for optional placement in a box.

According to embodiments, in this way, a system can be provided that can be freely custom-made for easy adaptation to various products received in a box, for example, from a service provider that provides boxes in accordance with the configuration desired by the customer , and has corresponding available inserts and individually made drawers without inserts, respectively; however, in this case, inserts are provided that are replaced only by using a special tool that only the box manufacturer possesses.

According to embodiments of the invention, the box has an upper limit from the region of the first side wall (which may also be the entire side wall), extending from the base upward and having a relatively low extraction height. This means that above the region of the first side wall there is no additional non-rigid connection between adjacent side walls. In other words, the first side wall has a lower height, at least partially, than the surrounding or some of the surrounding side walls, so access to the drawer is also possible to easily access products located in drawers located relatively lower in the stack, even if the boxes are stacked.

However, the height of the first side wall in some embodiments is measured so that the particular products transported in the box cannot fall out of the box during transportation. In some embodiments, a box may be provided for transporting bottles or bottles pre-packaged in relatively small sales units, whereby the first side wall is high enough to prevent individual bottles from falling out of the box. In some embodiments, the height is from 1 to 10 cm. In some further embodiments, this height is from 2 to 5 cm, or substantially greater than 2 cm.

In some embodiments, the first side wall has - at the edges adjacent to adjacent side walls - two sections of the side wall, respectively, extending up to the height of the adjacent side walls to increase the stability of the box.

In additional embodiments of the present invention, the box has four side walls, gripping holes located at least in those side walls that are adjacent to the first side wall. Each gripping hole has a region parallel to the base and a region perpendicular to the base. In some embodiments, a region perpendicular to the base is located in the direction of the first side wall. In some embodiments, in addition, a portion of the first hole, horizontal and extending substantially parallel to the base, is connected to a vertical portion of the hole having a diameter large enough to allow the drawer to also be taken in radius. In these embodiments, it is possible, as a result, to also grab and raise the box in the radius or in the vertical portion of the hole, so that the box tilts back when grabbed. During transportation, the likelihood of objects, such as bottles, falling out of the box through the openings of the first side wall is reduced.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the box further comprises, in the base region adjacent to the first side wall, a larger bearing surface for products to be transported than the average in the remaining base region. In other words, this means that if the base is not made for weight reduction reasons to continue over the entire surface area / to obtain all surfaces, but consists of individual rods, for example, the number of rods per unit area, that is, the density of the rods in the area adjacent to the first side wall, will be higher. As a result, a product located in a box near the side wall, for example, a bottle of drink or a can having a large bearing surface, comes into contact with the base. This prevents the bottle or beverage can from slipping or tilting into the recesses located between the base rods, so that an unwanted drop of the can or bottle during transportation is prevented.

In some embodiments, in addition, the walls adjacent to the first side wall have a lower height — in the front wall, where they are adjacent to the first side wall — than in the front wall opposite the side wall. This means that in the direction of the hole, the side walls adjacent to the hole are lower, so that, on the one hand, the space available for return is increased, and so, on the other hand, the incidence of light and / or the viewing angle of the inside of the box is increased to provide an improved view of objects, such as bottles or the like, to be transported inside the box.

In some additional embodiments, the remaining side walls that are not related to the first side wall can be folded relative to the base, so that the box can be brought up folded, while the remaining side walls bear the base, or they are located above the base, so that they are approximately parallel to the base. Consequently, the box can be transported at lower cost and more efficiently in an empty state.

Some embodiments have an additional movable region of the side wall extending over the first side wall in the vertical direction and which can be removed or folded down. An advantage may be that in the open folded state, the movable region of the side wall further increases stability and / or safety, so that goods or products cannot fall out of the box. In addition, in the open folded or folded down state, the movable side wall region may be used to display product information or the like.

In some embodiments, the movable region of the side wall is lattice and / or made of many ridges, so that the box can be cleaned with a high pressure jet without separating the movable region of the side wall from the box and / or without inadvertently separating it from the box due to high pressure.

In some embodiments, the remaining side walls are further coated and / or laminated on the internal surfaces with a film containing product information that can be easily viewed from the outside.

In some additional embodiments, a light film is provided so that objects and / or bottles transported in the box can be better optically perceived due to light reflection.

In some additional embodiments, the three remaining side walls that are not related to the bottom wall are equal in height, so that the boxes can be stacked on top of each other, with the base of the box lying on the three remaining side walls of the box underneath. In this regard, individual recesses or contours can be provided both at the base and at the upper ends of the remaining side walls, in which the corresponding recesses or contours of the base and the remaining side walls, respectively, mesh to allow stacking and to ensure a reliable location.

In some embodiments of the drawers of the invention suitable for storing and / or transporting and displaying beverage bottles or cans, the base comprises a plurality of mandrels extending from the base upward in a vertical direction. The racks are three-dimensional objects located on the base and shaped so that the bottles are held or secured by the outer bounding surfaces of the mandrels, so that the bottles are prevented from falling out effectively. In some embodiments, the posts have only a small height in the vertical direction, so that they can also be referred to as vertical protrusions. The height and outer shape of some mandrels are selected so that they, in connection with the first side wall, prevent the bottles from falling out of the side opening. However, to provide a return, in some embodiments, the strut in its highest position is no higher than the first side wall. In some embodiments, the outer bounding surfaces of the mandrels have different heights to adapt them in the best possible way to a set of tasks. To enable the bottles to be tilted in the direction of the first side wall, providing greater stability, the racks have a lower height in the direction parallel to the side wall than in the direction to the first side wall, so that it is possible to tilt parallel to the first side wall, while tilting in the direction perpendicular to it is difficult, and the bottles are firmly fixed.

1 shows an embodiment of the beverage box 10 according to the invention. In the shown embodiment, the base 12 is not made to continue continuously over the entire surface area, but consists of a lattice structure. As can be seen in the bottom view of the box of FIG. 3, the base 12 is formed by a plurality of rods or ridges. They are arranged in a tight enough manner so that the goods can be transported, for example, the bottle cannot fall through the base of the box or tip over in an uncontrolled way when the edge of the bottle is tilted into one of the cavities between the ridges.

In addition, the box contains two pairs of mutually opposite side walls 14a, 14b and 16a, 16b, respectively, extending upward, that is, in the vertical direction 18 from the base 12. The first of the four side walls, in this example, the side wall 16b, extends in the vertical direction 18 to a low height 20 extraction.

the extraction height 20 is less than the height of the remaining side walls 14a, 14b and 16a, so that a side opening is formed allowing access to or extraction of the bottles or products contained and transported in the box through the side opening. No further drawer structures are located on top of the first side wall 16b. Based on 12 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of mandrels are further arranged, of which the strut 22a and the strut 22b are emphasized by way of example. Therefore, the side opening for extracting products is designed so that the first side wall 16b has a lower height than the adjacent or remaining side walls. The height here and in the following drawings should be understood as a measurement in the exact vertical direction 18. The term “upper” refers to the position in the exact vertical position 18, the term “lower” refers to the position having a smaller coordinate in the vertical direction 18. “Side” should be understood as meaning any direction bounding the box in a direction parallel to the surface of the base 12.

A side opening is formed by and / or formed in the first side wall 16b, and the side opening allows access to the extraction of bottles transported in the box. In other embodiments, other products can obviously be transported, that is, pre-packaged sales units of six bottles.

In alternative embodiments not shown here, the side wall does not have a low extraction height 20 along its entire length, but the fixed sections of the side wall extend into the side hole from the adjacent side walls 14a and 14b, while the side hole remains large enough to allow product recovery or bottles. Such boxes may have increased stability.

An embodiment of the box 10 shown in FIG. 1 further includes a movable region 23 of the side wall rotated by hinges 24a-24c relative to the stationary first side wall 16b. The movable region 23 of the side wall is shown in a downwardly folded position in FIG. 1, where it is folded downward with respect to the first sidewall 16b. In the upwardly folded position shown below by means of several additional embodiments of the invention, the movable region 23 of the side wall extends upward in the vertical direction 18. In this way, the safety can be further enhanced so that no bottles located in the box 10 are tilted outward. Additionally, the movable part can be used to present product information or the like.

The side walls 14a and 14b adjacent to the first side wall 16b have gripping holes 28a and 28b, respectively, through which the box can be lifted and held. To this end, the gripping holes comprise both a first hole region extending parallel to the base and a second hole region extending substantially in the vertical direction, the functions of which are described in more detail below in FIG. 3.

In addition, the side walls 14a and 14b adjacent to the first side wall 16b contain narrowed edge regions 30a and 30b at the ends directed towards the first side wall, whereby light can enter the drawer through the edge regions even when the drawers are stacked on top of each other. . In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, these ends of the side walls 14a and 14b adjacent to the first side wall 16b are thus lower in height than their opposite ends. Obviously, even though in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the recessed portion of the side wall is substantially triangular in shape, any other shapes of the recess can also be used in alternative embodiments. In some embodiments, the height of the side walls 14a and 14b adjacent to the first side wall 16b continuously increases to a maximum height. In alternative embodiments, the increase in height, of course, can also occur in stages or progressively.

The box of FIG. 1 can be stacked, that is, the contours of the upper ends of the side walls 14a, 14b and 16a are made so that when stacked they mesh with the outline or base structure of another box (see FIG. 3, for example), so that the boxes can be stacked on top of each other. However, the side opening formed by the first side wall 16b allows the extraction of bottles or bottle trading units, such as Sixpacks, from within the box, even if the latter is in the stack.

In some embodiments of the invention, the inwardly facing surfaces of the side walls 14a, 14b and 16a are provided in a light color, so that due to the incidence of light caused by the openings 30a and 30b, the bottles in the box are easily visible to an observer looking from the outside. In alternative embodiments, the surfaces have inserted information or product advertising.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 further comprises, on at least one of the side walls (in the case shown here, on the side wall 14b), a plurality of ridges 32a-32d extending vertically and protruding inward from the side surface and preventing the entry of bottles held by the racks inside the box into contact with the side wall with all side surfaces and contamination of a large area of the side surface. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the ridges 32a-32d are arranged so that the bottles are adjacent to the outer wall with their radius farthest from the center at the positions of the ridges 23a-23d. Thus, this can prevent contamination of the side walls, since this is only possible thanks to the ridges.

Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the box of Figure 1 in a state in which it is filled with three sixpacks.

Each of the Sixpacks 40a, 40b, and 40c contains six separate bottles, not shown here for clarity.

In addition to the racks that hook the boxes from the bottom — while the Sixpacks are open from the bottom for this purpose — The Sixpacks are also held by the ribs 40a and 40b located on the base 12 of the drawer 10, as shown in FIG.

As can be seen from FIG. 3, showing two boxes 10 and 10a in a stacked state, products or bottles can be removed from the lower box 10 even in a stacked state. Of course, this also applies to sixpacks 40a, 40b and 40c when they are transported and / or displayed in crates as an alternative to individual bottles. As is clear from FIGS. 2 and 3, the particular embodiment of the box shown in FIG. 1 has a high level of flexibility with respect to transported bottles, since it is possible for a box to transport sixpacks, on the one hand, and individual bottles, on the other hand. This is due to the structure shown in FIG. 1, mandrels 22a and 22b and ridges 42a and 42b.

Obviously, in other embodiments of the box 10, a different mandrel design may be selected. For example, in some embodiments, the ridges may be completely distributed by or instead of the mandrels used. However, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, both options are possible, since each individual bottle inserted in one of the spaces between the uprights and / or ridges in four directions in each case is supported by a side wall of the ridge, an upright, or one of the side walls 14a, 14b, 16a or 16b of the box, so that it is securely fastened for transportation.

As becomes apparent from FIG. 3, it is now possible, due to the possibility of arranging the boxes in the stack and due to the possibility of lateral extraction provided by the first side wall 16b, for offering sales of various products from the column of stacked boxes. Together with the racks, the side wall 16b prevents the bottles from tipping out of the box 10 during transport, so that the side wall 16b is measured to prevent the box from falling out during transport. At the same time, however, the ability to remove the bottles from the box in the forward direction is kept sufficiently low even if the box 10a is located on top of the box 10. In accordance with some embodiments, for this reason, the bottles can be initially slightly raised and then tilted outward to forward direction. In some embodiments, this is possible with a specific configuration of the mandrels, as described in more detail below in FIG.

Figure 3 clearly shows an additional property of some embodiments of the present invention, namely, the specific configuration of the gripping holes 28a and 28b. The gripping hole is curved and extends both horizontally and vertically. In other words, the gripping hole 28a comprises an open area 50a extending parallel to the base 12, and a second open area 50b extending substantially in the vertical direction 18. The distinction between the vertical and horizontal open areas in FIG. 3 should be understood as being exemplary only. Thus, the gripping hole 28a also extends substantially in the vertical direction, so that the gripping hole 28a can also be used by the user in a vertical open area. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the gripping hole 28a may obviously also have a shape other than that of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3. For example, it can also have a square or rectangular cross section, so that the box can be raised both from above by a horizontal open area 50a, and from the side by a vertical open area 50b.

In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the vertical open area is located on the side associated with the first side wall 16b and is connected to the horizontal open area 50a by an external contour (i.e., a circuit directed towards the first side wall) with a large radius. As a result of this, when the drawer is lifted, it can also be gripped in a radius so that the drawer tilts backward (towards the side wall 16a) when the vertical open area is located on the side connected to the first side wall 16b, so that separate bottles are prevented from falling out due to the tilt of the drawer when it is being held.

As shown in FIG. 4, which shows a bottom perspective view of the drawer of FIG. 1, and FIG. 11, which shows a bottom view of an additional embodiment of the invention, in some embodiments of the invention, safety is further enhanced by the specific construction of the base 12 in the region 50 adjacent to the first side wall 16b.

In some embodiments of the invention, the base 12 is not made to have a continuous surface, but it is formed by the design of the ribs to reduce weight and simplify cleaning. The ribs cover the surface area of the base 12, so that the individual bottles reliably rest on the base 12 with their bases. In the region of the leading edge 50, that is, in the region 50 adjacent to the first side wall 16b, the number or density of ribs in the surface region is increased compared to the remaining region, so that the bottles located there cannot independently tilt out due to the influence from the outside, they are slightly tilt from their resting position to the first side wall 16b. This can be avoided by arranging the ribs in a tight manner in an area 50 adjacent to the first side wall 16b, so that the edge of the bottle cannot lean into the empty space between two adjacent ribs. In other words, in the region 50 adjacent to the first side wall 16b, the base 12 has a bottle bearing surface that is larger than the available bearing surface, on average, through the base per unit of base to enable the bottles to be firmly fixed.

As is also clear from Figure 4, the base 12 has - in the area adjacent to the side walls 14a, 14b and 16a - an elevation consisting of several ribs, the contours of which are made so that they engage the contour of the side walls of the additional box inside the side walls when the box is located on another box to enable stacking and to strengthen the position when folded.

In addition, the base of the box has a rod 52 in the center, with the rod 52 extending from the side wall 16a to the first side wall 16b, the ridges having a greater length in the vertical direction than the remaining ridges of the base. The rod 52 serves to further support the first side wall 16b, which has a relatively small height, to increase the stability of the box. The rod 52 is centrally located, so that the rod extending down further than the remaining base does not prevent the bottles from being removed from the bottom drawer in a stacked state.

Figure 5 shows an additional embodiment of the present invention, different from the embodiments disclosed by the previous drawings, in that in the embodiment of Figure 5 it is possible to transport bottles of other sizes. While the embodiment of FIG. 1 is adapted for bottles with contents of 0.5-1 l, the embodiment of the box of FIG. 5 is adapted for bottles with contents of 0.33-1 l. Therefore, the embodiment of FIG. 5 differs from the embodiment of FIG. 1 in the essentially design of the mandrels and the thickness of the side walls 14a, 14b and 16a, modified to hold the bottles inside the box with the same external volume of the box. For example, the box of FIG. 5 contains five mandrels 54a, 54b, 54c, 54d and 54e, for example, adjacent to the first side wall 16b to hold in the first row all six bottles with contents of 0.33-1 l. In addition, the box of FIG. 5 has only one continuous ridge 56 in the center of the box, so that alternatively four Sixpacks can be transported using the box.

In contrast to the embodiments of FIGS. 1-4, the embodiment of FIG. 5 also shows a box with a movable region 23 of the side wall folded up in the first side wall 16b. Subsequently, in addition to the construction details of the drawer of FIG. 5 corresponding to the details of FIG. 1 and have similar functions in both cases, an updated description of the components matching the components of the drawer of FIG. 1 will be omitted. Additionally, it should be noted that the drawer of FIG. 5, similar to the drawer of FIG. 1, has at least one hole 58 on the side wall 16a opposite the first side wall 16b, while the hole 58 extends through the side wall 16a, so that the box can be attached or suspended on a wall or shelf or the like through an opening.

To increase the security of attachment, each of the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 5 further has an optional second attachment hole 60.

The variant of FIG. 6 is also made for transporting 24 bottles with contents of 0.33-1 l each and largely coincides with the variant of FIG. 5. However, in the embodiment of FIG. 5, the side walls 14a, 14b and 16a, or at least part of the side walls 14a, 14b and 16a, are configured to be hinged relative to the base. They can be folded so that they can be folded to the base substantially parallel to the base when folded down, as shown in FIG. 7 using side wall 16a as an example, when folded down, parallel to the surface of base 12. FIG. 8 shows all side walls 14a, 14b and 16a when folded down, so that when folded up, the box can be easily transported back to the brewing or bottling company without consuming large storage space. This can significantly reduce transportation costs.

Even though in FIGS. 6-8, the folding side walls 14a, 14b and 16a are shown only for a box made for transporting 24 bottles of 0.33-1 l each, it is understood that a box for bottles of 0.5-1 l shown 1, may also be provided with foldable side walls. Typically, in all of the embodiments presented here, the elements disclosed or shown by separate embodiments can be mutually combined in any manner described to achieve alternative alternate embodiments of the drawers of the invention.

Figure 9 shows the embodiment of Figure 5 in a loaded state, with 24 bottles in the box.

Similarly to FIG. 5, in this case, too, the movable region 23 of the side wall is in the deployed position for additional fastening of the bottles in the very front row or for attaching product designations for transportation on the outer surface of the flexible part 23, not significant for the presentation of goods.

Figure 10 shows the embodiment of Figure 5 with an alternative form of loading, namely with four sixpacks 70a, 70b, 70c and 70d.

Finally, FIG. 11 shows a top view of the embodiment of FIG. 5, it is obvious that the strut 54c has a geometric shape different from the mandrels 54a, 54b and 54d or 54e for the possibility of insertion of sixpacks. In alternative embodiments, however, the central pillar 54c may certainly have the same shape as the remaining pillars, such as pillar 54a, for example. Similarly, any other racks may be in the form of a strut 54c.

How can we conclude from the top view of Fig. 11, even in the case of boxes made for 24 bottles of drink, the base 12 is made in the area 50 adjacent to the first side wall 16, with a larger bearing surface than the average bearing surface of the entire base to prevent accidentally dropping bottles from a box.

12 is an enlarged view of the mandrels 54a-54c, so that their specific shapes can be seen which, in cooperation with the first side wall 16b, allow the bottles to be held in a reliable manner so that they can be removed in the forward direction. To this end, some mandrel embodiments have an outer surface whose height is not constant in the vertical direction 18. The hatched region 70 should be understood as the outer bounding surface of the strut 54a, that is, this region or its elements laterally limit the strut, that is, in all directions perpendicular to the vertical direction 18.

The outer bounding surface 70 has a variable height, as described previously. The stand has a lower height in the first side wall region 75, extending parallel to the first side wall 16b and securing the bottle in the rearward direction (in a direction 72 directed from the first side wall 16b) than in the second side region 76 securing the bottle against the tilt in the direction 74 parallel to the first side wall 16b.

With the strut 54a of FIG. 12, which has a substantially rhomboidal cross-section, one vertex of which is directed toward the first side wall 16b, the backward tilting prevention function is thus performed by the first boundary surface region 75 that closes the strut substantially in the direction parallel to the first side wall 16b. The second boundary surface region 76 bounding the strut 54b toward the first side wall 16b prevents the bottles from tilting parallel to the first side wall 16b.

The first side surface region 75 is lower than the second side surface region 76 to be able to tilt when the bottles are tilted forward without having to lift the bottle to such an extent that it may already be adjacent to the base of an additional box stacked in a stack on the box in question.

The second region 76 of the boundary surface, however, prevents tilting in a direction parallel to the first side wall 16b and, therefore, may be higher to increase stability. Typically, both the uprights 54a and 54b and the upright 54c provide maximum stability while allowing forward tilt so that the uprights have a lower height in the direction parallel to the side wall than in the direction perpendicular to the side wall.

In addition, the racks of FIG. 12 are provided with external bounding subzones, concavely curved inward between the vertices of a substantially diamond-shaped shape, with the bending radius substantially corresponding to the diameter of the bottle to still hold the bottle securely.

Figures 13 and 14 further describe an additional embodiment of the invention, according to which the box disclosed, for example, in Figures 1-12, is provided with an additional element, a locking element, which serves to protect during transportation, for example. FIG. 13 shows a box substantially corresponding to the box of FIG. 1, so that a repeated description of the various elements described in FIG. 1 is omitted. As can be seen, the box of FIG. 13 (a) further includes a locking member 100 comprising a bracket 102 having two opposite ends. The first end 102a of the bracket 102 has a first shaft 104 located thereon, and the second end 102b of the bracket 102 has a second shaft 106 located thereon. These ends 104a and 106a of the rods 104, 106a, the ends facing away from the bracket 102, are rotatably mounted on opposite side surfaces or end surfaces 14a and 14b. In the situation of FIG. 13 (a), the transportation blocking element or protection element 100 is in a position located between a first position and a second position. The box shown in FIG. 13 (a) is again shown in FIG. 13 (b), but now with the locking element 100 in the first position, in which the bracket 10 extends between the side walls 14a and 14b, while the bracket 102 is located at a distance from lower side wall 16b. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 13 (b), the bracket 102 has half the height of the side walls 14a and 14b, however, the present invention is not limited to this construction. Conversely, the bracket 102 can be made both higher and lower, depending on the circumstances. The rods 104 and 106 are configured and installed so that when the bracket 102 tilts from the position shown in FIG. 13 (a) to the position shown in FIG. 13 (b), the bracket 102 allows the desired distance from the bottom, bottom side wall 16b . As can be seen in FIG. 13 (b), the side walls 14a and 14b or the surfaces of the two end walls facing the lower side wall 16b have a structure for receiving the rods 104 and 106, as well as the area in which the bracket 102 is connected to the rods 104 and 106, that is, with the opposite ends 102a and 102b of the bracket 102 in the recesses or cavities so that a flat front surface is formed.

Fig. 14 shows a stack formed from the drawer of Fig. 1, on which the drawer of Fig. 13 is placed, while in the situation shown, the bracket 102 is located in the second position in which it is positioned for laying on the lower side wall 14b. As you can see, the lower side wall 16b also has a structure of recesses or gaps for taking the bracket 102 in the second position shown in Fig, to form a flat front surface.

As can also be seen in FIGS. 13 (b) and 14, the opposite ends 102a and 102b of the bracket 102 are configured so that in the first position shown in FIG. 13 (b), they surround the corresponding side wall 14a and 14b to provide a snap and a reliable location of the bracket 102. Similarly, in the position shown in FIG. 14, a reliable location of the bracket 102 is achieved in that the corresponding engaging elements provided in the bottom wall engage the bracket 102.

An advantage of this embodiment is that it now provides an additional transport protection element located during transport in the position shown in FIG. 13 (b), which can thus compress the products located in the box to prevent their movement to the hole, in other words, to provide an additional obstacle against the loss of products. The bracket is connected to the side surfaces or end surfaces of the box in a rotatable manner and can be moved from the closed position of FIG. 13 (b) to the open position in a simple manner, so that free access to the products inside the box is possible.

The invention is not limited to the examples described in FIGS. 13 and 14; on the contrary, instead of positioning the bracket 102 at about half the height of the end walls, a different position can be selected, for example, the distance from the bottom wall 16b can be selected to be one third of the height of the side walls or two-thirds of the height of the side walls. In addition, a blank can be provided in accordance with an embodiment for telescoping the rods 104 and 106 to position the bracket 102, starting from the situation of FIG. 14, to other heights along the height of the side walls, so that the height of the blocking element 102 can be adjusted flexibly manner and depending on the products placed in the box.

Next, FIGS. 15 and 16 describe an additional embodiment of the invention, with FIG. 15 showing a box already described in FIG. 1 but differing in the configuration of the base 12. In the box shown in FIG. 15, an insert 112 is provided located on the base of the box to be able to disconnect from it. The insert 112 shown in FIG. 16 includes an upper surface 112a on which a first rod 114 is shown extending parallel to the opposite end walls 14a and 14b to the full depth of the box to the rear wall 16a. An additional rod is provided - a transverse rod 116 - extending from the side wall 14a at about half the height of the box depth to the first rod 114. Insert 112 can be provided, for example, for accepting products packaged in cardboard boxes and having dimensions corresponding to the compartments received in insert 112 In addition to such products, any products may be provided for acceptance into the drawer of FIG. 16, and it is also possible according to the invention to provide various inserts 112 detachably disposed inside and the box.

On Fig presents some examples of the implementation of the inserts 112, while it is possible, for example, to provide a surface 112a of Fig.16 (a) with rectangular or circular recesses for the simultaneous adoption of products having a corresponding abutment surface. Similarly to FIG. 15, FIG. 16 (b) shows the structure of the rods of the upper surface 112a of the insert 112, and in FIG. 16 (c), racks can be provided on the upper surface 112a, similar to those described in FIGS. 1-12. Fig. 16 (d) shows the bottom surface 112b of the insert 112, showing angled elements 118a-118d for engaging respective elements or recesses in the base 12 of the drawer, the elements 118 being preferably designed so that after being locked with with the base of the box, it is possible to disconnect from the base of the box only by using special tools, so that the supplier of the box can individually execute the boxes in different ways at the request of customers, without the possibility for customers using the box to replace the insert It has to be used with other products. Thus, the boxes can be made individually in accordance with the requirements of customers and, in particular, it is possible to respond flexibly to the increased demand for boxes having special inserts, while at the same time there is no such demand for boxes for other products.

Embodiments of the invention are disclosed hereinafter in more detail with reference to the drawers of FIGS. 13 and 14. According to embodiments, the locking element of the drawers shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 comprises a latching element having a movable component to ensure that the locking element is securely latched in closed position.

On Fig shows a cross section of the box according to the first embodiment, while on Fig (a) shows a front view of the left side of the box of Fig.13 (b). It should be noted that from this point of view the right side of the box is not shown for clarity, but it can be made to fit the left side. 17 (b) is a sectional view for illustrating a latch mechanism.

As can be seen from FIG. 17 (a), the blocking member 102 includes a bracket 102 different from the bracket shown in FIG. 13 in that the bracket includes two rods 102c and 102d extending between opposing side walls 14a and 14b (see FIG. .13). The ends of the rods 102c and 102d are integral with the vertical rods 104 and 106, respectively, so that a blocking element corresponding to the blocking element shown in FIG. 13 is obtained. It should be noted that embodiments of the invention are not limited to this configuration of the blocking element 100 — on the contrary, the blocking element in the form of a blocking element of FIG. 13 having only one staple bar can also be used. The box further includes a latch mechanism 200, located in the embodiment shown in FIG. 17 (a), on the bracket 102, namely, on the bracket bar 102c adjacent to the side wall 14a. The latch mechanism 200 includes an actuation member 202 and a housing 204 into which the remaining mechanism members are contained. The actuation member 202 is movable in the horizontal direction to actuate the latch mechanism located inside the housing, as described below.

17 (b) shows in detail the latch mechanism of FIG. 17 (a). As can be seen, the latch mechanism includes a latch element 206 movable horizontally as shown by the arrow in FIG. 17 (b), the latch element 206 is movably mounted inside the housing 204 and biased by the spring 208 to the position shown in FIG. 17 (b) . The actuation member 202 is effectively connected to the latch member 206 to move the latch member 206 by corresponding horizontal movement from the position shown in FIG. 17 (b) to the backward drive position to the right. The side wall 14a includes a recess 210 in which the latch member 206 is in a first position, as shown in FIG. 17 (b). In this position, the locking element 100 is latched in the position shown in FIG. 17 (a) and FIG. 13 (b). Thanks to the latching element 206 located in the recess 210, the movement of the locking element 100 to the position shown in Fig. 13 (a) is prevented. To allow such rotational movement, it is necessary to remove the latching element 206 from the position shown in FIG. 17 (b) by actuating the element 202 against the force of the spring 208. When the corresponding distance is covered by actuating the element 202 by the latching element, the element is placed outside the recess 210 , and, for example, in the position of FIG. 13, the tipping of the blocking element is possible or allowed.

An advantage of the configuration according to the invention is that a safe positioning of the blocking element in the first position is now achieved, which prevents, in particular, during transport, the element being unintentionally opened and thus the products contained in the container to fall out. The use of such a latching mechanism with a movable element is advantageous in comparison with a conventional locking closure, since a reliable latching is thus ensured. In the case of locking, the blocking element may open as a result of impact or shock by which the box is opened, or as a result of movements of goods in the box.

With reference to FIG. 18, an alternative embodiment of a snap mechanism configuration is described. In the embodiment of FIG. 18, the latch mechanism includes a vertical latch element instead of the horizontal latch element shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 18 (a), the latch mechanism 200 is located inside the blocking member and includes a vertically movable actuating member 202. Fig. 18 (b) shows a side cross-sectional view of a portion of the side wall, with the viewing angle from the side direction of the side wall. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 18 (b), the latch member 206 is movably located within the recess 212 of the locking member. The latching element 206 is vertically movable, as indicated by the arrow, and is biased to the position shown in FIG. 18 (a) by the spring 208. The side wall 14a includes a recess 210, which engages with the latching element 206 in the position shown in FIG. 18 (b) so that the movement of the blocking element in the direction of the offset arrow is prevented. The latching element 210 is effectively connected to the actuation element 202, so that its downward movement causes the latching element to move downward against the force of the spring 208 and, as a result, exits the recess 210 to allow the blocking element to be moved in the direction of the displaced arrow of FIG. 18 (b )

On Fig shows an additional embodiment of the invention, similar to the variant shown in Fig, in which, unlike Fig, the active elements of the locking mechanism are located in the side wall 14a. As shown in FIG. 19 (a), the latch mechanism 200 includes an actuation member 202 located in an upper portion of the side wall 14a. Fig. 19 (b) shows a sectional view similar to that of Fig. 18 (b). As can be seen, the latch member 206 is now located inside the recess 210 in the side wall 14a and is biased by the spring 208 in the downward direction of FIG. 19 (b). It can be moved by the actuation member 202 effectively coupled to the latch member 206, as shown by the double arrow in FIG. 19 (b). The latching element 206 is shown in an offset position in which it engages the recesses 212 in the blocking element, so that the movement of the blocking element in the direction of the offset arrow is avoided.

As can be seen, the side wall 14a and, similarly, the other side wall 14b, not shown in more detail in FIGS. 17-19, includes a narrow surface 220 facing the low side wall 16b and including a first surface portion 220a located at a distance from a low side wall 16b, and a second surface section 220b located between the low side wall 16b and the first surface section 220a, with the second surface section 220b installed in the direction of the rear wall 16b relative to the first surface section 220a, so that over 220 of the side wall 14a facing the low wall 16b has a protrusion 222. According to embodiments, the side wall 14a is configured so that the surface portions 220a and 220b are mutually offset so that the blocking element in the first position is adjacent to the second surface portion 220b while the protrusion 222 has such measurements that the first portion 220a of the surface of the wall 14a and the surface of the blocking element facing the low wall 16b are even — if the blocking element is in the first position — to provide a substantially flat front second sidewall surface of the box.

It should be noted here that the latch mechanism of the invention is not limited to the mechanisms described in FIGS. 17-19; on the contrary, they can also be performed in various ways. For example, in the case of horizontal latching elements, a common actuation element may be provided along the length of one of the staple rods, with a suitable gear mechanism additionally being integrated to cause the actuation element to move in oppositely directed movements of two latching elements effectively attached to it, so that when the latch element is actuated in one direction, the latch elements 206 that interact with the two and the opposite side surfaces 14a and 14b. Similarly, a horizontal latching mechanism may be provided in one of the staple rods, with the corresponding releasing mechanism also being part of the staple bar or part of the side wall.

FIG. 20 shows an additional embodiment of a latch mechanism in accordance with the present invention. The blocking element 100 includes a recess 230 in the region in which the staple rods 102c and 102d are connected to the vertical bar 104. In the shown embodiment, the recess is located between the upper staple bar 102c and the lower staple bar 102d. In other embodiments, a recess may also be provided in various positions. In addition, the side wall 14a includes a hook protrusion 232 that projects in the direction of the low side wall 16b, that is, in the forward direction, beyond the second portion 220b of the surface of the side wall 14a. FIG. 20 shows a blocking member 100 in a first position in which it covers an opening formed between the side walls 14a and 14b. In this position, the rods 104, 106 of the blocking element 100 are adjacent to the portion 220b of the narrow surface 220 of the side wall 14a, as briefly explained above in FIG. 19 (b). In contrast to the embodiments shown to date, in the embodiments described in FIG. 20, the locking member 100 is mounted not only in a rotatable manner, but also vertically movable. In the closed position shown in FIG. 20, the hook portion of the protrusion 232 covers the outer surface of the shaft 104 through the recess 230, so that the forward locking member 100 is prevented from moving forward to the open position. The locking element 100 in the first position is located so that there is a gap 234 between the bracket 102 and the protrusion 222 of the side wall 14a.

In order to prevent the blocking element 100 from moving vertically upstream of the blocking element 100 into the gap 234, and thus to prevent snapping, a movable element 236 is additionally provided located on the upper staple bar 102c to rotate about the axis 238 to move between the position shown in Fig.20, and an additional position. The movable member 236 includes a portion 240 located in the gap 234 and removed from the gap 234 by rotationally moving the movable member about the axis 238. As long as the portion 240 is located in the gap 234, the vertical movement of the member 100 is prevented, and thus, its snap-off or detachment of the member 100 from hook-shaped protrusions 232. In order to be able to open the locking element 100, the movable element is rotated to remove the portion 240 from the gap 234, whereby the vertical locking up of the locking element is possible, whereby the hook-shaped protrusion 232 releases the locking element 100, so that the latter can be tipped over.

FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional side view showing the configuration of the protrusion 232. As can be seen, the protrusion includes a hook-shaped portion 232, with the locking element 104 being configured to engage with the protrusion 232a. Alternatively, the protrusion 232 may also extend outward to the width of the blocking element 104, so that the portion 232a engages the outer surface of the blocking element. Moving the blocking element in the gap 234 causes the protrusion 232a to disengage from the outer surface 104a of the blocking element 104, so that it is possible to move the blocking element in the direction of the offset arrow shown in FIG. 21. If such movement is undesirable, the blocking element is fixed in the position shown in FIG. 21 by the element shown in FIG. 20, and since the portion 240 of the movable element 236 is located in the gap 234, vertical movement upward of the element is no longer possible.

Even though embodiments of the present invention are described above mainly in the context of beverage boxes, additional embodiments of the present invention can of course also be used for other types of products. For example, beverage cans, as well as any other cylindrical objects such as hair spray, deodorants and the like, can be transported using the boxes of the invention. In addition, boxes with side openings are also suitable for completely different types of products, which may also deviate from the main cylindrical shape. Boxes can be used universally for all types of products, as they allow lateral extraction of products from the box, even if they are in a stacked state. This main advantage is not limited to the type of transported products.
