Description
Oct. 14, 1952 R. w. GOOEER BOTTLE CASE Filed Oct. 20,1949
Fig.2.
Int-enter Ric/raid W Cooper By 2mm WW Z5. M51815 become apparent Patented Oct. 14, 1952 This invention relates to novel and useful improvements in bottle cases.
An object of this invention is to support a number of bottles in such a manner that they are each resiliently mounted and spaced from each other in order to minimize breakage.
Another object of this invention is to very easily and conveniently insert and remove bottles from a holder or rack, which holder or rack consists entirely of an upper frame with a pair of handles on it together with a plurality ofintersecting strips having means integrally formed therewith for holding the bottles in spaced relationship to each other.
Ancillary objects and features of novelty, will to those skilled in the art, in following the description of the illustrated form of the invention, wherein:
Figure 1 is a top view of the device;
Figure 2 is alongitudinal sectional view of the device shown in Figure 1; and
Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional detail of construction showing a fragmentary part of the device with a bottle inserted therein.
In carrying out the invention I have provided an extremely simplified structure. It is essential that devices of this nature be simple in order that they be commercially feasible and.
practicable.
There is an upper frame of longitudinal sides and a pair of transverse sides integrally connected together at the smoothly curved ends l2, l4, l6 and l8.' Intermediate the curves l4 and I2 as well as the curves l6 and I8 there are handles 20 and 22 which are preferably appropriately shaped wire pieces with hinges 24 at the ends thereof connected with the transverse sides.
Extending across the longitudinal sides and also across the transversesides is a means which is secured to said upper frame which forms a bottom, sides of the device and individual bottle holders of a resilient nature. This means consists of a number of spaced transversely extending strips 26 and a number of spaced longitudinally extending strips 28. All of the transverse strips are identical and all of the longitudinal strips are identical. There is very little difference between the transverse strips and the longitudinal strips.
Reviewing Figure 2 the longitudinal strip 28 is shown as being formed of one piece construction. An upturned end 30 is connected by means of hinge connection 32 to one of the transverse sides of the frame. This hinge connection consists merely of a bight formed integrally with l consisting of a pair 2 the side 30. At the opposite end of the strip there is another upturned side 34 having a hinge connection 36 identical with the hinge connection 32. The sides 30 and 34 are smoothly curved to provide the necessary resiliency of construction.
A resilient bottle holder generally indicated at 38 is provided in the strips. This resilient bottle holder consists of a pair of side walls MI and &2 which are integrally joined together at the upper ends thereof and which are touching but spreadable at the lower ends thereof. These I walls are adapted to be pressed and deformed as shown in'Figure 3 upon insertion of a bottle 44 or other container. Intermediate the upturned end and the wall there is a depressed portion 46 which has a rivetor the like 48 passed therethrough. This rivet also passes through a part of the strip 26 thereby joining the strips at their intersections.
The transverse strips hinge connections with the upper frame In and upturned end portion. Itis the upturned end portions which form the side walls of the device, while it is the hinged connections which connect the upper, frame with the webbing of the device.
In operation when a bottle or the like is in- .serted in the individual pockets or compartments formed by the spaced upwardly extending projections, the walls of each are compressed or deformed, which deformation is reflected throughout the entire device, particularly the region adjacent the individual pocket which is being used.
At the intersection of the strip wherein the rivet 48 passes through, a criss-cross seat is formed for the bottom. of the bottle thereby firmly supporting it.
'In forming the various joints, any conventional expedient may be resorted to, as welding, brazing, riveting and others.
Having described the claimed as new is: An article holding case comprising an upper frame, a first set of resilient straps attached at their ends to opposite sides of said frame, a second set of resilient straps attached to other opposite sides of said frame and crossing the first-mentioned set of straps to thereby'define junctions, each strap having an upwardly rising projection formed therein at spaced intervals, each projection consisting of two smoothly curved side walls, each side wall being curved from its upper end to its lower end and joined at its adjacent wall of the pair, one wall of four invention, what is 26 are provided with projections nearest to one of said Junctions de- REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
