  • the crate has asubstantially rectangular bottom y with four vertical comer-columns protruding upwardly from the bottom. Horizontal beams connect the col- CCll.
  • references Cited crate is characterized in that all of the crate-walls are UNITED STATES PATENTS comprised of two wall-plates between which combined 2,303,240 11/1942 Strong 220/21 X t y and spa ers are suitably positioned, and that the 3,392,869 7/1968 Needt 220 21 b f n 3,762,594 l0/l973 Utz 220/21 cross eams orm prole 10 Claims, 19 Drawing Figures 4 m y Q l/ A l 5 f I I I I I 5 -:-i:. fi
  • the present invention relates to a crate made of plastics for storage and transport, preferably of standard goods like bottles, the crate having substantially a rectangular bottom from which four vertical cornercolumns protrude upwardly, said columns at the top and bottom beingconnected by means of horizontal beams, and said crate having at least one side provided with such a large opening that the goods may be removed through the said opening when a crossbar or the like being movable over the opening is moved out of the blocking position.
  • the said crate-type is previously known in the market, inter alia in the grocery store business through the sale of beer, minerals and dairy products.
  • the advantage with such crates is that the merchant does not need to remove empty crates in order to produce more bottles or the like.
  • the crates may be piled, and the removal of the goods is carried out from the side of crate and not from the top as previously required, whereby space is saved inthe sales roorr i whilgat the sarnetime the customers are allowed to serve themselves. This is essential in e.g. super-markets.
  • These crates are substantially made of plastics or a similar material.
  • the disadvantage of prior crates of this type is that, if a piling-error occurs in the piling of several crates on top of each other so as to effect an incorrect load-distribution in the overall pile, the pile may be rendered unstable and may even overturn.
  • This is due to the fact that the cross-beams of the crate, due to their construction, bend or twist upon heavy loading. Such twisting and bending of the crossbeams also occurs during the handling of crates containing heavy goods as e.g. bottles or the like, thereby limiting the external dimensions of the crate.
  • attempts have been previously made to overcome these disadvantages by e.g. increasing the thickness and the height of the beams, or to otherwise stiffen the said beams.
  • the present invention overcomes the said disadvantages in that all of the crate-walls are comprised of two wallplates between which combined stays and spacers are suitably positioned, and that the cross-beams form a U-profile.
  • the crate is provided with service openings on all four sides thereof, said openings each beingprovided with one movable crossbar.
  • the crate is provided with service openings on all four sides thereof, said openings each beingprovided with one movable crossbar.
  • all of the wall-surfaces of the crate are smooth.
  • the crate-wall is closed at the top, the top face corners are provided with holes for ventilation, the bottom crate-wall ls open and the extension of the inner plate at the bottom of the wall forms a stabilizing edge.
  • the crate-wall may be closed at the bottom so that the bottomfacecorners are then provided with holes for ventilation, the top of the crate-wall is open, and the extension of the inner plate at the top of the wall forms a stabilizing edge. The said stabilizing edge will assure that the crates are engaging each other when they are piled.
  • the exterior vertical corners of the crate are made right-angled, whereas their corresponding interior corners are made curved.
  • the upper (alternatively the lower) interior edge is made slightly slanting downwardly and inwardly. The slanting edge serves make easier the piling of the crates as well as to prevent the stabilizing edges of the crates from wedging.
  • the said cross-bar consists of two parallel plates between which plates means are arranged which serve as combined spacers and connectors.
  • the said cross-bar is furthermore provided with a guide-edge which may slide in the slidetrack for the cross-bar.
  • the cross-bar is provided with suitable finger-grips.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective showing of an embodiment of the crate according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2a is a bottom plan view of a corner portion of the FIG. 1 crate and F IG. 2b is a perspective view of the Fig. 2a corner portion rotated l;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of part of a side opening of the FIG. 1 crate;
  • FIG. 4 is an upper plan view of a corner portion of the FIG. 1 crate
  • FIG. 5 is a bottom-view of another embodiment of a crate according to the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a plan view of the interior of the bottom wall of a crate forming yet another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of yet another embodiment of the crate according to the invention showing a portion of another such crate piled thereon;
  • FIG. 8 is a side elevational view of a crate of the invention which has neither a service-opening nor a cross-bar;
  • FIG. 9 is a sectional view of a corner portion of the crate showing engagement with another embodiment of a cross-bar;
  • FIG. 10 is a sectional view of an end wall of the FIG. 7 crate showing a slanting slide-track and the lowermost part thereof;
  • FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a pair of stacked crates in accordance with another embodiment of the invention, the upper crate having a bottom with separation edges;
  • FIG. 12 is a sectional view taken along line l2l2 of FIG. 11;
  • FIG. 13 is a sectional view taken along line 13-13 of FIG. 8;
  • FIG. 14 is a view similar to FIG. 13 showing a modification thereof
  • FIGS. 15 and 16 show in side elevation for the closing of the openings appearing in FIGS. 13 and 14; and FIGS. 15A and 16A are end views of the FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 devices, respectively.
  • the corner-columns of the crate are denoted by 1, the service-openings by 2, the vertical interior and exterior corners by 4 and 3 respectively.
  • 5 denotes the cross-bar which slides in the slide-track 6, two of the cross-bars 5 being shown at their extreme upper hidden positions, and two of the bars being shown in an intermediate position.
  • One or several snaparrangements 7 are positioned in the slide-track for locking the cross-bars in a lowered position.
  • the crossbar is provided with a fingergrip-means 5".
  • 8 illustrates the stabilizing edge being arranged at the bottom of the crate, but as will appear from the above the stabilizing edge may alternately be arranged at the top of the crate.
  • FIG. 2a is a typical plan view of the bottom-corner (alternatively, the top-corner) of the wall, 10 being a wickerwork and 13 being stays of spacers in the wall.
  • FIG. 2b shows the same as FIG. 2a, except that the wickerwork 10 is not shown, but the shape of the stabilizing edge 8 is clearly illustrated. Since the crate has double walls it is possible to rest pallets supporting piled crates on the top part of the top-beams of lower crates without weakening these lower crates.
  • the underside of wickerwork 10 is stiffened, as shown by the heavy lines in FIG. 2a, and the lower edges thereof lie in the same plane as the rim of edge 8. Such lower edges and rim rest upon the pallet or pallets and the crates are stacked one atop the other. Because of the rigidity of the top beams, the loaded pallet may rest thereon in a manner not made possible heretofore.
  • FIG. 3 shows a service-opening in a wall-side wherein it clearly appears that stays or spacers 13 are provided between the wall-plates 14.
  • FIG. 4 shows the top (alternatively, the bottom) corner of a wall where the interior edge 12 slants inwardly and the corner is provided with holes 11.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate two other embodiments of a bottom of the crate according to the invention.
  • the squares of the wickerwork are parallel to the exterior sides of the crate.
  • Spacers or stays 13 are arranged at the continuation of each strand of the wickerwork as indicated.
  • Stays 13 are of course not limited to being arranged as shown, but may be placed in a greater or lesser number between the wall-plates l4 and independent of the placing of the T-profiles of wickerwork 10.
  • the stiffening portion of the T-profile is indicated by 10.
  • FIG. 6 shows another type of bottom wherein the inner walls of the crates have regular outwardly and vertically extending curved segments 22, such segments being evenly distributed along the complete inside of the crate.
  • the bottom plate in FIG. 6 is provided with a openings 21 and a network of stiffeners 10 extending upwardly from the bottom.
  • a wickerwork may also be arranged as e.g. shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 instead of a perforated bottom plate.
  • FIG. 11 shows another embodiment of the cratebottom, as including e.g. openings in a plate with separating edges 10" provided thereon.
  • These separating edges 10" serve both to separate the goods from each other which are placed in the crate, while at the same time providing the necessary stiffening of the cratebottom. In this way they also function as stiffeners in the manner of 10 and 10" of FIGS. 5 and 6, respectively.
  • a perforated plate it is of course possible to provide the bottom with a suitable net-work of ribs.
  • FIG. 6 shows an underside view of the crate.
  • the crate here is illustrated with a wave-formed stabilizing edge, i.e., the extension 8 of the inside of the crate, it is of course possible to make the said stabilizing edge smooth as indicated in FIGS. 2b and 5, wherein only that part of the inner wall of the crate which is lying above the bottom will have the wave form.
  • the volume of the crate is utilized to a much larger extent without reducing the strength of the crate.
  • FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the serviceopening 2 and the crossbar as compared to FIG. 1.
  • the opening 2 is provided with inclined corners 15, which stiffen the crate even more, and the crate has in its walltop 16 lesser wall-thickness than at its lower end, as indicated in FIG. 10.
  • the sector I in FIG. 7 shows the manner in which the stabilizing edge 8 overlaps behind wall top 16.
  • 5' indicates a downwardly extending flap on cross-bar 5, said flap when the cross-bar is in its lowermost position fitting into a corresponding opening 23 in the lower end part of slide track 6, as indicated by the sector II in FIG. 10.
  • FIG. 8 shows a side of a crate according to the invention which is provided with an opening 2 serving only as a means for handling the crate by gripping edge 17 when the crate is to be transfered.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates another embodiment of the cross-bar as comprising two plates between which combined spacers and connecting means 5" are arranged.
  • One of the plates is provided with a guide-edge 6 which slides within slidetrack 6.
  • the slide-track may at its lower end 23 be provided with holes for guidance of the cross-bar when in its lower position.
  • the slide-edge of the cross-bar is running substantially parallel with the outer edge.
  • the inner edge of the crate tapers slightly inwardly, as indicated by the angle a in FIG. 10, so that section 25 falls inside the crate. This section corresponds with the thickness of the crossbar-plates.
  • FIG. 11 shows a crate similar to that of FIG. 1 provided with corner-columns l curved at their inner surfaces as indicated at 4.
  • the cross-beams 26 and 27 as well as the remaining walls of the crate have double walls as indicated in FIGS. 13 and 14 at the top, and in FIGS. 2, 3, 7, 9 and 10.
