Definitions

• the present invention is related to a system for transportation, handling, storing and display of bottles.
• figure 1 schematically a container ready for display
• figure 2 discloses a vertical section through a bottle including an upper and a lower tray
• figure 3 discloses a front view of the container
• figure 4 discloses a ground view of the cover
• figure 5 discloses a ground view of a part of a tray.
• the container comprises a container foot 1 with a floor lifted up from the ground, adapted for the use of a fork lift and lifting trolley.
• the four corners 8 of the container foot 1 are adjusted for guidance and load transfer for stacking several containers above each other.
• Side strings 2 and 3 are releasably connected with the container foot 1. On the upper edge of the side strings are guidings 7 arranged.
• a cover 4 may be arranged on the guidings 7 whereby the side strings are kept in place. As disclosed in figure 3, the cover 4 may be secured in different heights, depending of the total height of the bottles which are placed in the container. The cover 4 may be locked in desired height by means of a spring lock 10.
• a first tray 5 On the floor of the container, a first tray 5 is placed.
• the tray comprises, as disclosed in figures 2 and 3, recesses for receipt of the underside of the bottles and simultaneously a centric guidance for receipt of the top of the bottles in the underside of the tray.
• correspondingly adjusted trays 5 To receive different sizes of bottles, correspondingly adjusted trays 5 must be manufac ⁇ tured.
• a container suitably may receive a certain number of trays for one type of bottles and a certain amount of trays for at least one other type of bottles, where the trays comprise different number of bottles.
• the trays 5 furthermore are provided with recesses 11 o in the corners, adjusted to receive the corner posts of the side strings 2 and 3. In this way the trays 5 are kept safely in place in the container.
• the cover 4 as such may be placed vertically on top of the rear side strings 2 in such a way that the bottles 6 are displayed in the shops and the side strings are kept in place.
• a container foot 1 is used, where upon a first tray 5 is arranged mechanically or automatically on the container foot and here is clamped by a lock 12. Thereafter the lower tray is filled with bottles in a likewise mechanical process. After a first tray has been filled with bottles, a new 5 tray is handled from the stack to be placed on top of the bottles. Further bottles and trays are thereafter put in place whereafter the cover 4 is placed and locked to the side strings
• the container may be transported directly in place in o the shop, where the bottles very easy are displayed simply by removing the cover 4 which thereafter is clamping the sides strings 2 and 3.
• the cover 4 suitably may used to disclose a logo or a commercial with its strategic arrangement on the top of the container. 5
• the rest of the bottles from the last container may be placed on top of the upper tray in the new container. Thereby is avoided, a tendency with the existing systems for single bottles, namely that the lower bottles are not replaced and must be returned to the manufacturer because they are too old.
• Single trays 5 are thereafter removed and used to receive empty bottles in another container before this is transported back to the manufacturer. For the shop or store only one storing place in the shop as such is used for a container having filled bottles and possibly a container for empty bottles on another place.
• the transportation system comprises the container foot 1, side strings 2, 3, a number of trays 5 depending on the bottle size, and the cover 4.
• the container may be erected with the manufacturer when it is filled up with full bottles, provides a very compact unit which is very well suited for transportation and storing and provides furthermore, after removing of the cover 4 which may be arranged vertically on the two rear strings, a very attractive exposing device for bottles.
• the container After filling with empty bottles, the container is transported back to the manufac ⁇ turer. With simple hand grips, the container may be dismantled for transportation without bottles, for example to be filled up with empty bottles or for return without bottles to the manufac ⁇ turer.
