Definitions

  • ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invent-ion provides a compartmented beverage bottle case integrally formed of molded synthetic resin. At the intersection of the compartment walls with other compartment walls, and with the case walls, a domed spacer is provided at the upper portion of the intersection. An aperture is provided in the case bottom directly below each spacer; the dimensions of the aperture in the horizontal plane are at least as great as the dimensions of the spacers in that plane. Raised apertured platforms are provided in the bottom of the bottle ease whereby a recessed portion is formed on the underside of the case bottom for receiving the closure caps of bottles, whereby an interlocking of stacked cases containing bottles is accomplished.
  • case bottom is not continuous, but instead comprises individual bottoms for each compartment, each individual bottom being carried by support rods disposed downwardly from the spacers of the compartment wall intersections and having a splayed end secured to adjacent individual compartment bottoms.
  • This invention concerns improvements in or relating to crates or cases for the transportation of bottles.
  • bottle crates or cases made of molded synthetic resin or so-called plastic material, the interior of these crates or cases being compartmented while their bottom is perforated in order to facilitate cleaning of the case and to help avoid condensation.
  • bottle cases are deep enough to ensure that the whole of each bottle is within the case.
  • the compartments generally extend to the neck of each bottle.
  • the cases usually have a handling rim with recessed handles so that a number of cases can be stacked one upon another.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide bottle cases, particularly half-height bottle cases, which can be readily manufactured from synthetic resins by molding, conveniently by injection molding processes, and in which spacers are formed integrally with the bottle case during manufacture whereby breakage of the bottles during insertion into the compartments and during transportation or storage in a stack is prevented. It is moreover yet another object of the invention to provide a preferred construction of half-height bottle crates or cases which when stacked will be more firmly interconnected than hitherto possible, by means of the bottle necks projecting from a lower case fitting into the recesses in the outer bottom surface of the overlying case in the stack.
  • a bottle case formed of molded synthetic resin and having an apertured bottom, in which an integrally molded domed spacer is formed at the upper end of the vertical lines of intersection of a compartment wall with an outer wall and/or with other compartment walls, and having a basal aperture formed in the case bottom immediately below each of said spacers whose dimensions in the horizontal plane are at least as great as the dimensions in that plane of said spacer.
  • the domed spacers are preferably of a round-headed mushroom shape, and desirably have downwardly extending projections thereon which extend further into each of the compartments so that the spacer has a star shaped appearance.
  • the basal aperture will then conveniently have a corresponding, that is to say a star shaped, outline and, as previously indicated, must be at least as big or preferably somewhat bigger than the spacer in order to permit the bottle case to be removed from the mold in a satisfactory manner.
  • the bottle cases can be manufactured, for example, by an injection molding process without the difficulties which have hitherto made such molding impossible. Moreover, it will be appreciated that it becomes possible in such a manufacturing process to adjust the length of the rojections on the spacers and correspondingly the length of the arms of the star shaped basal apertures merely by appropriate adjustment of the molding matrix and upper die.
  • each compartment bottom there should preferably be provided a raised portion, forming a platform which is usually circular and should include an aperture, the rim of that aperture being advantageously reinforced with an annular lip.
  • This raised portion provides a recess on the outer bottom surface of the bottle case for the reception of the bottle neck or the bottle closure on the bottle in an underlying case.
  • the diameter of the circular raised portion is somewhat greater than the diameter of the bottle cap or closure, while equally the diameter of the circular platform aperture should be smaller than the diameter of the bottle cap or closure, since this arrangement ensures that the bottles necks of the underlying bottles will fit easily into the recesses in the outer bottom surface of the upper case but will not jam therein with resultant damage either to the bottle case or bottle closure.
  • the centers of the raised platforms in one or more of the compartments can with advantage be slightly displaced with respect to the center of the compartments, since this tends to promote a more stable interconnection between two superposed cases by pressing the bottles whose closures are received in the recesses corresponding to the displaced platforms more firmly against the compartment wall, thus preventing displacement or wobbling of the upper case.
  • each compartment bottom is preferably joined to neighboring platforms by means of usually straight ribs or bars which strengthen the case bottom and also serve as standing surfaces for the bottles, while promoting air-circulation in the compartment and thus reducing the danger of condensation forming which can loosen the bottle labels.
  • the circular platforms can themselves be surrounded by a peripheral annular rib which also serves to strengthen the case bottom.
  • the bottom surface in this bottle case can be joined to the compartment walls, or in the case of perforated compartment walls to such parts thereof as still remain, as well as also to the inside of the outer wall of the case.
  • the bottom of the case can also be constructed as a gridded surface, or it can be made up from several interconnected annular surfaces, which either touch one another and/ or intersect and/ or are connected together by means of cross bars.
  • each compartment is secured instead to generally vertical support rods, which are attached to the spacers at the end opp-osite to the case bottom.
  • the end of the support rods secured to the bottom surfaces of the case bottom are sp-layed so that a part of the end is secured to a bottom surface of the case bottom, the remaining parts being secured to other bottom surfaces.
  • FIGURE 1 is a plan view from above of one corner of a preferred form of bottle case, whose bottom is joined to the compartment wall, the remainder of the case being essentially identical in construction;
  • FIGURE 2 is a horizontal cross-section, viewed from below, taken through the corner of the bottle case shown in FIGURE 1, a short distance from the base thereof;
  • FIGURE 3 is a plan view from below, of the corner of the bottle case shown in FIGURE I:
  • FIGURE 4 is a vertical cross-section taken through the bottle case along the line AB shown in FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of the preferred form of spacer present in the bottle case shown in FIGURES 1 to 4;
  • FIGURE 6 is a plan view from above of another preferred form of bottle case, whose bottom areas are not attached to the compartment wall, the remainder of the case being essentially identical in construction to that of the corner shown;
  • FIGURE 7 is a vertical cross-section taken through he bottle case shown in FIGURE 6, in a plane running parallel, with the center of the compartment along the length thereof from spacer to spacer;
  • FIGURE 8 is a vertical cross-section, similar to that shown in FIGURE 7, but in a plane running through the spacers across the breadth of the compartment;
  • FIGURE 9 is an underneath plan view of the bottle case shown in FIGURES 6 to 8.
  • the bottle case generally indicated 1, as shown in FIGURES 1-5, is subdivided in its interior by compartment walls 2, at whose intersections there are provided spacers 4, disposed towards the top of the compartment walls, and having star shaped projections or pegs 6.
  • spacers 4 disposed towards the top of the compartment walls, and having star shaped projections or pegs 6.
  • spacers 4' are mounted at the intersection points between the compartment walls 2 and the outer wall 8 of the case, but naturally those spacers 4' have only two pegs 6'.
  • the length of these pegs 6 and 6' is so chosen that they will reach close to the sides of bottle 10 (shown in faint outline in the bottom left hand corner of FIGURE 1) but leaving a slight clearance.
  • the bottom surface 22 of the bottle case shown in FIG- URES l3 is provided with star shaped recesses 14 which lies below the star shaped pegs 6 and in addition, further star shaped recesses 16 are present which lie below the compartment walls 2 which extend across the upper region of the case (as shown clearly in FIGURE 1).
  • the star shaped recesses 14 end, in this embodiment, in an annular step 15 to which can be attached, if desired, the annular reinforcing rim 18.
  • annular step 15 Inside the annular step 15 lies an annular surface 20 which is formed raised in relation to the normal bottom surface 22.
  • a circular perforation 24 through which condensation or cleaning water can run off.
  • Each annular surface 18 is joined to the neighboring annular rims 18 or to the container wall 8 by means of joining ribs 26. By this means greater stability of the base of the bottle case 1 is achieved. It is also possible to continue the joining ribs 26 (as shown) through the annular surface 18 to the circular perforation 24 in the raised annular surface 20.
  • the upper part of bottle case 30, shown in FIGURES 6-9, between the compartment walls 32 and at the point of intersection of the compartment walls, spacer 34 are provided which are of mushroom-headed form. From these spacers 34 bars 31 lead vertically downwards (see FIGURES 7 and 8), such that their lower ends 3111 (which are wider than the main portion 3! are joined to the bottom surface 33.
  • the bottom surface 33 can also be joined to the vertical outer wall 38. This transition can take place at rightangles or by means of an angularly-extending reinforcement member 31b as shown in FIGURES 6 and 7.
  • FIGURE 6 the position of the bottles fitting in the bottle case is shown in faint outline by 31c.
  • the case 30 also possesses in the bottom region raised annular surfaces 40 with centrally arranged perforations 41, and if desired, further apertures 42 (as shown).
  • the raised annular surfaces 40 are arranged slightly eccentrically with respect to the center of the compartment base.
  • transverse strips 44 (or studs) or teeth 45 can be fitted in order to prevent slipping of the case.
  • the synthetic resin used in molding the cases of the present invention may be any thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and polymethyl-rnethacrylate.
  • a case for holding objects formed of molded synthetic resin and having individual compartments for receiving and separating individual objects said case having spacer means disposed along axes the directions of which axes are defined by lines of intersections between compartment walls and by lines of intersections between compartment walls and adjacent outer walls, said spacer means functioning to receive and guide individual objects into individual compartments so that each object will be spaced from adjacent compartments, each compartment having a bottom member which is substantially independent from other compartment bottom members and said bottom member being connected with a support means which extends to and connects with said spacer means and compartment walls, each of said support means having separated and splayed end portions which separately connect and support adjacent bottom members so as to maintain a separation of bottom members from one another to thereby provide a degree of flexibility of bottom members relative to one another and to remaining portions of said case.
  • a case according to claim 1 for holding bottles in which a portion of the bottom member within each compartment is raised to form a platform, each of said platforms having an aperture therein.
  • each bottom member has strengthening ribs thereon.
  • said supports are four-legged rods, said generally vertical legs being disposed in the horizontal plane at right angles to each other and at an angle of 45 relative to the outer walls.
