Definitions

• the invention relates to a two-part bottle crate with a partition running parallel to an outer wall, each partial crate having an auxiliary wall which runs parallel to its outer wall and delimits the parting line and which extends like a band only over part of the height of the compartment for the bottles, wherein when the box is assembled, the auxiliary walls are adjacent to each other.
• auxiliary walls delimiting the division joint in two mutually parallel, adjacent planes over their entire length.
• the bottle crate When the bottle crate is assembled, it therefore has a relatively thick middle wall, which is at least twice as thick as a wall of the compartment, but often also requires a little more space because the two auxiliary walls delimiting the parting line do not lie very close to one another.
• the object of the invention is to develop a divisible bottle crate whose external dimensions are no greater than those of a corresponding non-divisible bottle crate while maintaining the clear truss diameter.
• auxiliary walls of the two sections at least in sections, e.g. are arranged one above the other along a section, which can also be greater than half its length. Since the auxiliary walls are therefore at different heights above the floor, the auxiliary walls can protrude into the dividing joint, so that the space requirement with respect to the total thickness of the two auxiliary walls is less than twice the thickness of an auxiliary wall. However, they do not need to be exactly one on top of the other.
• sections of the two auxiliary walls are arranged one above the other in one plane, so that in this longitudinal section the two auxiliary walls together have only approximately the thickness of an individual auxiliary wall.
• the two auxiliary walls can be arranged one above the other along their entire length at different heights above the box bottom, that is to say the auxiliary wall of one partial box runs over its entire length below the auxiliary wall of the other partial box.
• the auxiliary walls intersect one or more times, so that the auxiliary wall of the one partial box extends below the auxiliary wall of the other partial box over a section of its length and above the auxiliary wall of the other partial box over another section of its length. This makes it possible to design the two partial boxes of the bottle crate exactly the same, that is to say to mold both partial boxes in the same tool.
• the total thickness of the central wall can then be greater than the thickness of an auxiliary wall. This is not a problem if the intersection is placed in the area in which a wall of the compartment connects at right angles to the auxiliary wall. At the crossing point, the auxiliary walls can then have a slight offset, for example.
• the auxiliary walls at the intersection have a reduced thickness, so that the two auxiliary walls lying against one another have a smaller thickness than the two compartment walls put together.
• This embodiment of the invention can be further developed such that the auxiliary walls at the intersection are half as thick as on their longitudinal sections adjoining the intersection.
• the auxiliary walls are then, although they intersect, one above the other in a plane, the thickness of the two auxiliary walls taken together is not at the intersection thicker than in the longitudinal sections adjacent to the crossing point.
• the bottles placed in the bottle crate generally taper somewhat from top to bottom so that the mechanical insertion of the bottles into the bottle crate can be carried out more easily.
• the bottles lie approximately on the compartment walls or are only a very short distance from the compartment walls.
• the diameter of the bottles is somewhat smaller, so that there the bottles have a somewhat greater distance from the compartment walls.
• strips are only a small height, they serve to keep the bottle bottom in the compartment. In one embodiment of the invention, however, these strips are arranged one below the other on a longitudinal section which is large "- 4 "'- than half their length.
• the strip section running above the other strip section is therefore at a distance from the box bottom which is at least the height
• the bar section running at a distance from the bottom of the bottle is connected to the partition walls running at right angles to the dividing joint.
• these strips running in the area of the box bottom can also cross, whereby these Embodiment can in turn be designed such that these strips are thinned at the intersection.
• the two sections are pressed against one another via locking means which are actuated, for example, by carrying brackets which are fastened to each section.
• one embodiment of the invention consists in that a web part which connects to the intermediate wall section of the one partial box which runs above an intermediate wall section of the other part of the box, is offset at least in the area of the lower intermediate wall section inwards into the compartment, and that this web part is arranged outside the compartment center plane.
• an embodiment of the invention can consist in the fact that the web part, which adjoins a strip section of the one partial box, which runs below a strip section of the other partial box, is displaced inward into the compartment, at least in the region of the lower strip section is, and that this web part is arranged outside the shelf center plane.
• the web part extends only over part of the compartment height.
• Fig.l is a perspective view of an embodiment of the bottle crate in the assembled state, partially broken away;
• FIG. 2 shows a section II-II of Fig.l, partially broken off
• FIG. 3 shows a section III-III of Fig.l, showing the two auxiliary walls in the cutout
• FIG. 1 A section IV-IV of Fig.l through a section;
• FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of the bottle crate in an enlargement V-V of FIG.
• each sub-box 2 or 3 has two end walls 5 and a longitudinal side wall 6.
• Auxiliary walls 7 and 8 run parallel to these longitudinal side walls 6 and the partial boxes 2 and 3 on the sides facing one another in the assembled state limit.
• the box bottom 9 is provided in a manner known per se with openings 10 and 11.
• Each sub-box 2 and 3 has compartments for receiving the bottles, which have an intermediate wall 12 parallel to the longitudinal side wall 6, approximately up to half the height of the bottle box 1, and transverse walls 13 and 14 running at right angles to it, which in turn are parallel to the end walls 5 run.
• Both the intermediate wall 12 and the transverse walls 13 and 14 are provided with openings 15. Furthermore, the intermediate wall 12 and the transverse walls 13 and 14 have an upper edge 15 which is meandering.
• the auxiliary walls 7 and 8 running parallel to the longitudinal side wall 6 also have openings 16 and their upper edge 17 or 18 also runs in a meandering shape.
• the edges 17 and 18 are designed such that they are arranged at least in sections one above the other. The edge 17 extends in the left region of the embodiment of the bottle crate 1 shown in FIG. 1 above the edge 18, so that the two edges 17 and 18 come to lie in one plane. In the right area, the two edges 17 and 18 are still in one plane, but the edge 17 extends below the edge 18, which is caused by the two edges 17 and 18 crossing at 19.
• This section-by-section arrangement ensures that the total thickness of the two auxiliary walls 7 and 8 is determined by the thickness of the edges 17 and 18 in the partial boxes 2 and 3 assembled to form a bottle crate 1, the total thickness of the thickness of a single edge 17 now or 18 and does not correspond to the sum of the thickness of the two edges.
• the bottle crate 1 can therefore be made narrower by approximately the thickness of an edge 17 or 18.
• the strips 20 and 21 of the auxiliary walls running in the area of the box bottom 9 are located 7 and 8 side by side, since the strips 20 and 21 are not in the plane of the edges 17 and 18, but are each offset by a small amount in the direction of the compartments. As described below for Fig. ⁇ , the strips 20 and 21 can also lie in the plane of the edges 17 and 18, but then they are also arranged above or below one another.
• a web part 39 is shown, which extends from the upper edge portion 23 of the edge 18 in the direction of the box bottom 9.
• the web part 39 is attached to the side of the edge section 23 facing the compartment and opens with its lower end into the strip 20.
• the edge section 30 of the partial box 2 lying below the edge section 23 also lies against the web part 39, but is not connected to it.
• the edge 17 of the partial box 3 is essentially reproduced.
• the edge 17 extends from the left end wall 5 to the right end wall 5; and is formed from the edge portions 22, 23 and 24.
• the edge sections 22 and 23 are arranged in their auxiliary wall 7 in such a way that they form two planes 25 and 26 which are parallel to the box floor 9 and which are at a distance from one another which corresponds at least to the height of the edge 17.
• the edge 17 with the edge portion 24 provided, which has a recess 27 which is provided on the side facing the edge 18 (not shown in FIG. 2).
• the edge section 28 of the border 18 is arranged over the border section 22 of the border 17 of the partial box 2 in such a way that its plane 29 lies in the plane 26 of the edge section 23 of the edge 17.
• an edge portion 30 of the edge 18 is in turn arranged below the edge portion 24 in such a way that its plane 31 lies in the plane 25 of the edge 17.
• the edge section 24 of the edge 17 intersects in the intersection area 19 with an edge section 32 of the edge 18 such that the recess 27 engages around the area of the edge 18 provided with a recess 33.
• edges 17 and 18 lie in the recesses 27 and 33. Furthermore, the edge sections 22 and 30 and the edge sections 23 and 28 correspond to one another.
• the edge sections 24 and 32 are also of identical design. Because of these identical edge sections, the edges 17 and 18 are also the same, so that the partial boxes 2 and 3 can be produced in a single injection mold, which contributes to a considerable reduction in the production costs.
• Fig. 3 it can also be seen that the web portions extending from the upper edge portions 23 and 28 in the direction of the box bottom narrow the width of the openings 16, thereby preventing the bottles arranged in the compartments from falling out.
• the eccentric arrangement of these web parts 39 with respect to the longitudinal center plane can be seen.
• the outer surface of the auxiliary wall 7 of the sub-box 3 opposite the longitudinal side wall 6 is designated by 34. It can be seen that the edge 17 projects beyond this outer surface 34 by approximately half its thickness.
• the recess 27 is worked into the edge 17 such that through this recess 27 in the intersection area 19 the outer surface Area 34 protruding part of the edge 17 is omitted.
• the bar 20 of the sub-box 3 is offset from the outer surface 34 of the auxiliary wall 7 in the direction of the compartment, so that the outer surface of the bar 20 is flush with the outer surface 34 of the auxiliary wall 7.
• This has the advantage that the bar 21 (Fig.l) of the part box 3 attached to the part box 3 has enough space to rest against the bar 20. Since bottle crates with such partial crates 2 and 3 are generally equipped with bottles which have a bottle body that tapers conically downwards, the bar, which is slightly set back into the compartment, does not interfere with the uptake of the bottles.
• FIG. 5 Another embodiment of the bottle crate 1 is shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 5, the bar 20 in this embodiment reaching through the outer surface 34 of the auxiliary wall 7 of the sub-crate 3 and projecting with its section 35.
• the strip 21 of the partial box 2, which is only indicated, is designed in such a way that it has a recess 36 which, when the partial boxes 2 and 3 abut one another, lie opposite the section 35.
• the strip 21 has a section 37 which projects beyond the outer surface 38, represented by the dash-dotted line, of the auxiliary wall 8.
• the outer surface 38 of the auxiliary wall 8 lies on the outer surface 34 of the auxiliary wall 7, the section 35 of the cradle 20 engages in the recesses.
• 36 of the bar 21 and the section 37 of the bar 21 lies above the section 35 of the bar 20.
• Sections 35 and 37 can advantageously be formed with the same thickness.
• the sections 35 and 37 can be integrally formed on the strips 20 and 21 in such a way that they intersect in a crossover area corresponding to the edge sections of the edges 17 and 18, so that the two partial boxes 2 and 3 again have the same shape and in a single one Injection mold can be made.
• the strips are preferably thinned in their crossing area corresponding to the edges 17 and 18.
