Definitions

  • Such crates for bottles filled with drinks in which the upright walls at their ends on the upper side of the crate, or in the vicinity thereof, are provided with bent over edges are commonly known.
  • the upright walls should necessarily also be provided with protruding edges at or in the proximity of the location whereat they merge into the bottom of the crate, since in order to obtain a proper interrelation those crates when disposed on pallets should perfectly adjoin each other both at the upper and the lower end of the side walls.
  • the upright walls converge advantageously two and two through the same angle. while the adjoining upright walls of the crate merge into each other by an angular bridge part which is at least perpendicular to the bottom.
  • Two adjoining converging parts merge advantageously into one the other by means of a bridge part diverging outwardly with respect to the plane perpendicular to the bottom in the proximity of this corner bridge part.
  • the converging arrangement of the upright side walls of the crate and the diverging arrangement of the corner-bridge parts between two successive upright side wall parts of the crate are selected in such a way that the total inner circumference of the crate in a plane parallel to the bottom is always constant for the entire height of the crate.
  • transition of the upright walls from a position perpendicular to the bottom into the desired converging position is effected in the upper half and preferably in the upper third part of an upright side wall of the crate, as in that part there are no bottles.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a plastics made crate for bottles according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a section through such a crate on the line II-lI in which a converging upright part and a non deformed lower part of a side wall of the crate are represented',
  • FIG. 3 is a section through a plastics made crate according to FIG. 1 on the line Ill-ill in which a corner bridge part diverging in the upper part of the crate is represented, and
  • FIG. 4 is a diagram in which the transition line of converging wail parts through a diverging bridge part in the corner is represented.
  • the bottom 2 of the plastics crates consists of an arbitrary construction of rib-shaped parts 20, 2b, 2c.
  • These rib-shaped parts or the walls carry also longitudinal partitions 7 and transverse partitions 8, so that compartments 9 to accommodate bottles are formed.
  • the lower parts 3a, 4a, 5a and 6a of the opposite upright side walls 4 and 6, 3 and 5, respectively of the crate, connected with the bottom 2, are perpendicular to this bottom.
  • the resting side wall parts 3b, 4b, 5b and 6b converge in an upward direction.
  • the circumferential edges 10a, lia, 12a, and 13a of the crates are selected in such a way that these edges end approximately in the plane perpendicular to the bottom 2 of the crate and through the non-deformed upright wall parts with reinforcing ribs 15 eventually provided thereon.
  • the divergence of the bridge parts 14 and the convergence of the upper parts of the side walls 3b, 4b, 5b and 6b of the crate are selected in such a way that the circumference in a plane parallel to the bottom is almost always constant.
  • This circumference may, however, also be slightly larger, but in that case the bridge parts should diverge outwards to such an extent that the advantages peculiar to the invention are lost.
  • the height for which the side wall parts 3b, 4b, 5b and 6b converge should on the one hand not be selected too great, since this gives rise to difiiculties on unmolding but neither too small on the other hand, as in that case the wall should be too much twisted on merging into the corner bridge parts 14b.
  • the bridge part is at any rate situated in the upper half of the side walls of the crate and preferably in the upper third part in which is no bottle when the crate is filled.
  • the length of the line ABCD that is to say the width of the corner bridge part 14a connecting the non-deformed lower parts of two successive side walls of the crate or the transition line between converging and non converging parts of the side walls of the crate is equal to the line EFG which determines the width of the corner bridge part 14b between two successive converging parts 41; and 5b of the side walls 4 and 5 of the crate.
  • a plastic crate for bottles comprising a bottom first upright side walls projecting from two opposite edges of said bottom and having upper ends which converge towards each other second upright side walls, projecting from two other opposite edges of said bottom, and having upper ends which converge towards each other corner bridge parts which interconnect adjacent first and second side walls, said bridge parts diverging outwardly,
  • the crate of claim 4 including longitudinal and transverse partitions positioned to divide the interior or the container and wherein the convergence of the side walls occurs above the upper end of the longitudinal and transverse partitions.
