Definitions
- the present invention relates to a plastic crate for bottles or the like with large openings in all sides, which openings lack horizontal cross-beams, an open-work bottom surface, an upper horizontal rim and a lower horizontal rim which two rims are connected by thin vertical pillars in the corners of the crate.
- Plastic crates with large openings in the sides have been produced for a long time.
- the crate is provided with large openings in all sides, which openings lack horizontal cross-beams, an open-work bottom surface, an upper horizontal rim and a lower horizontal rim which two rims are connected by thin vertical pillars in the corners of the crate.
- the crate is reinforced with a vertical beam along each of two opposite sides, which beams connect the upper and the lower rims, whereby the beams are placed in the middle of two opposite sides.
- the upper and the lower rim are performed with curved recesses corresponding to the shape and the size of the bottles.
- the bottom surface is performed with upwards directed towers which together with the curved recesses in the lower border divide the bottom surface into a desired number of compartments, one for each bottle.
- the vertical beams are directed inwards and situated inside the vertical plane of the respective side of the crate.
- the bottom surface suitably comprises circular parts of different sizes connected by spokelike parts, which parts constitute a support for one bottle in each compartment.
- the different bottom parts in each compartment are also connected with each other by spokelike parts.
- the whole bottom surface is made in one piece with the rest of the crate.
- the crate is made of polypropylene, polyethylene or impact resistant polystyrene.
- polyethylene is usually preferred due to its good impact strength in cold surroundings.
- the plastic crate 1 is provided with large openings 2 in all sides.
- the crate 1 has an open-work bottom surface 7, an upper horizontal rim 5 and a lower horizontal rim 6.
- the two rims 5 and 6 are connected by thin vertical pillars 3 in the corners of the crate.
- the crate is reinforced with an inwards directed vertical beam 4 along each of two opposite sides. These beams 4 connect the upper and the lower rim 5 and 6 respectively.
- the beams 4 are then placed in the middle of the two opposite sides and inside the vertical plane of these sides.
- the upper and the lower rim 5 and 6 respectively are performed with curved recesses 8 corresponding to the shape and the size of the bottles.
- the bottom surface is performed with upwards directed towers 9, which together with the curved recesses 8 in the lower rim 6 divide the bottom surface 7 into a desired number of chambers, one for each bottle.
- the bottom surface 7 suitably comprises circular parts 10 of different sizes connected by spokelike parts 11. These parts 10 constitute a support for one bottle in each compartment.
- the different bottom parts 10 in each compartment are also connected with each other by spokelike parts 11.
- the case is also provided with handles 12 in the connection between the vertical beams 4 and the upper horizontal rim 5 and the lower horizontal rim 6 respectively.
