Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an elevating stand according to the preamble of Patent Claim 1 .
  • the invention also relates to a liquid container incorporating an elevating stand according to the preamble of Patent Claim 10 .
  • the invention can be assigned to the packaging industry for liquid containers, but is not limited thereto.
  • elevating stand for liquid containers there are a number of different types of elevating stand for liquid containers. These are variously designed to solve the problem of how a user is not required to place the liquid container with tap on a table edge, for example, in order to be able to pour liquid into a glass.
  • elevating stands There are fixed and mobile elevating stands, which are not supplied together with the liquid container but are bought as a separate component.
  • elevating stands which are supplied together with the liquid container, enclosing the latter.
  • One example is a “flip-box” construction currently on the market, in which a casing can be folded down beneath the pack to form an elevating stand.
  • elevating stands bearing full liquid containers are displaced, sliding these over a table surface
  • elevating stands with mounted liquid containers require high forces in order to be displaced and have a tendency to vibrate or give way owing to the heavy weight associated with full liquid containers.
  • the tap has to be pulled out so that the liquid container rests with this against one of the support points.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate the said drawbacks and other drawbacks of known elevating stands.
  • Another object is to produce a wine stand which can be used even when the tap is not pulled out.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to produce a stable wine stand.
  • One object of the invention is to conceal information on the liquid container in the passive position.
  • Another object is to produce an elevating stand which simplifies use of the elevating stand with regard to the anatomy of the hands of different users.
  • the elevating stand described in the introduction is characterized by that which is specified in the defining clause of Patent Claim 1 .
  • a stable elevating stand is thereby is.
  • Low friction is obtained between, for example, a table surface and the underside of the base owing to the reduced weight per unit of surface area of the surface of the elevating stand, that is to say the said base, which is in contact with the table surface.
  • Comfortable handling is also thereby assured and any spillage from a pulled-out tap is not shaken down due to vibrations.
  • the side wall consists of four plane walls.
  • Liquid containers with elevating stand for transport in a passive position can thus be transported such that they occupy a minimum of space.
  • four supporting sections are arranged such that they can be opened out inwardly in the cylinder within the region of the second end and level with one another so as to support the liquid container in the active position.
  • a recess is disposed in the side wall at the second end for placement of the tap.
  • This layout allows the liquid container to be placed slightly depressed in the cylinder, thereby lowering the centre of gravity of the arrangement. This makes the elevating stand easier to handle in the active position.
  • the elevating stand above all, is displaced over a table surface, the risk of the elevating stand with mounted liquid container tipping over is lessened. The lower down is the centre of gravity, the safer is the displacement.
  • the liquid container is immersed in the cylinder by a distance corresponding to 1 ⁇ 4 of the length of the cylinder.
  • the tap is free-moving adjacent to the recess in the side wall.
  • the base has a hole for receiving a handle disposed on the liquid container and for forming a grip for facilitating the displacement of the cylinder along the liquid container from the passive position into the active position.
  • the liquid container and elevating stand in the passive position can thereby be easily transported from a shop, for example, to a place for mounting the elevating stand into the active position.
  • the tap is situated adjacent to the first end in the passive position.
  • the liquid container can thus be displaced in one direction into the passive position, without having to be fully pulled out from the elevating stand.
  • the base protects the underside of the liquid container and forms a reinforcement thereof.
  • a lower and upper slot are arranged in the side wall within the region of each supporting section, in which one side edge of the upper slot forms a support surface of the respective supporting section.
  • the elevating stand in the passive position, covers an information carrier member applied to the liquid container in order to produce an aesthetically pleasing liquid container in the passive position.
  • liquid container described in the introduction is also characterized by that which is specified in the defining clause of Patent Claim 10 .
  • a supplier of “boxed wine”, for example, is thereby able to supply an elevating stand which is steady for the active position and is user-friendly.

  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show an elevating stand 1 for a liquid container 3 having a pull-out tap 5 .
  • the elevating stand 1 comprises wall sections 7 disposed such that they enclose the liquid container 3 in a passive position for transport, that is to say in a position in which the wall sections 7 of the elevating stand 1 , which consist of a cylinder-forming side wall 9 , fully enclose the greater part of the sides of the liquid container (reference 10 , see FIG. 2 ).
  • the cylindrical side wall 9 is constituted by four plane walls 19 ′, 19 ′′, 19 ′′′ and 19 ′′′′, which contain a base 13 , arranged at a first end 11 , and an opening 17 , arranged at a second end 15 , for receiving the liquid container 3 when this is displaced into an active position for set-up.
  • the cylinder-forming side wall 9 comprising the four plane walls 19 ′, 19 ′′, 19 ′′′ and 19 ′′′′, a recess 21 has been made in one plane wall 19 ′ within the region of the second end 15 .
  • the tap 5 extends through this recess 21 .
  • a handle 22 of the liquid container 3 is guided through a hole 23 in the base 13 in order that a user (not shown) shall easily be able to carry the liquid container 3 with associated elevating stand 1 .
  • a locking member 24 has been provided on the elevating stand 1 in order to hold the liquid container 3 in the illustrated position in FIG. 1 .
  • a band 24 A is arranged between the lower edges of the plane walls 19 ′′ and 19 ′′′′, which band 24 A can be easily torn off by means of a perforation (not shown).
  • Each supporting section 25 ′, 25 ′′, 25 ′′′ and 25 ′′′′ are arranged such that they can be opened out in the side wall 9 , and in each corner formed by the plane walls 19 ′, 19 ′′, 19 ′′′ and 19 ′′′′, inwardly in the cylinder within the region of the second end 15 and level with one another to support the liquid container 3 in the active position.
  • the hole 23 in the base 13 for receiving the handle 22 disposed on the liquid container 3 also forms a grip for facilitating the displacement of the elevating stand 1 along the liquid container 3 from the passive position into the active position, which will be more closely explained with reference to FIG. 2 .
  • FIG. 2 shows the elevating stand 1 in FIG. 1 in a position for mounting of the liquid container 3 in the elevating stand 1 .
  • the elevating stand 1 has been pulled by the user off the liquid container 1 upward in the direction u and rotated half a turn according to the arrow q and placed on a table surface (not shown).
  • a tab 26 formed partially by a perforation in the plane wall 19 ′, is removed from the plane wall 19 ′, thereby forming the recess 21 .
  • a lower and upper slot 27 and 28 are arranged in the said side wall 9 within the region of each supporting section 25 ′, 25 ′′, 25 ′′′ and 25 ′′′′, in which one side edge 29 of the upper slot 28 (see also FIG. 3 ) forms a support surface of the respective supporting section for supporting the base of the liquid container 3 .
  • the user presses in tabs forming the supporting sections 25 ′, 25 ′′, 25 ′′′ and 25 ′′′′, whereby four support points for the liquid container 3 are formed (see FIG. 3 in which the elevating stand 1 is shown from above).
  • the liquid container 3 is then guided according to arrows p down into the elevating stand 1 until the liquid container 3 is resting on each supporting section 25 ′, 25 ′′, 25 ′′′ and 25 ′′′′.
  • the liquid container 3 now stands steady in the elevating stand 1 with non-extended tap 5 , at the same time as the arrangement can be slid over a table surface with little force and effort, since the base 13 steadies the elevating stand 1 , whilst, at the same time, the underside of the base 13 slides easily over the table surface of the table owing to the low load per unit of surface area.
  • FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment, in which the side wall 9 is constituted by a cylindrical surface having a circular cross section and a centre line CL, which is also shown according to the section I-I in FIG. 5 .
  • the liquid container 3 is configured as a cylindrical sleeve of circular cross section, yet having an external diameter somewhat smaller than the internal diameter of the elevating stand 1 , so that fitting is achieved by friction.
  • the recessed tap can thereby be placed.
  • the recessed tap 5 thereby can be placed adjacent to the first end 11 in the passive position, at the same time as the user can carry the liquid container 3 by the handle 22 without the elevating stand 1 sliding off the latter.
  • the side wall 9 is provided with four hatches 31 at one and the same level for receiving the base of the liquid container 3 .
  • the hatches 31 are evenly distributed in the said circular cross section, that is to say at an angle of ninety degrees between each, defined starting from the centre line CL, as is shown in FIG. 5 .
  • the hatches 31 are arranged such that they can be pivoted about the hinge 33 , made of the same material as the elevating stand 1 . For the active position, the hatches 31 are directed toward the centre line CL so as thereby to constitute supporting sections.
  • the base 13 contains any hole 23 , which helps further to reduce the load per unit of surface area, allowing a full liquid container placed in the elevating stand to be more safely displaced over a table surface and in contact with the latter.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates in diagrammatic representation an elevating stand 1 according to a third embodiment, broadly ready for use in the active position.
  • FIG. 7 shows a supporting section 25 of the elevating stand 1 from above and in perspective.
