Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container consisting of containers and support frames.
  • bottles are given a deposit, which the consumer has to pay when purchasing the product and is reimbursed when the empty bottle is returned.
  • This forced depositing of the bottle aims to ensure that the end user Brucher brings the empty bottles back to the seller, who collects the bottles and finally delivers them back to the bottler.
  • individual bottles be they made of glass, plastic or another material, are not returned to the seller by the end user, since the transport of individual bottles requires an unduly high effort. Therefore, the bottles are usually sold in classic reusable bottle crates as auxiliary carriers, whereby several bottles are combined in one container and the return of the empty bottles to the seller is to be facilitated.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a simple, space-saving and inexpensive container which is also easy to recycle.
  • the support frame consists of a plate which has a plurality of recesses intended for holding the container and a handle connected to the plate, and that the containers have means which keep them at a distance from the container bottom in the recesses .
  • Such a container consists of a support frame into which containers, in particular bottles, are inserted.
  • the bottles are arranged in a plate-like part of the support frame and are transported via a handle, which in turn is attached to the plate. Due to the low cost of materials, this support frame has a considerably lower weight than reusable bottle crates, so that from this point of view lower transport costs are incurred and the material to be recycled has a small volume.
  • the bottles to be packaged are not surrounded by a box-like structure, but are freely arranged in the cutouts in the plate of the support frame, so that the outer dimensions of the container, ie the support frame with bottles, are not, or only insignificantly, greater than the same number of bottles without Support frame, whereby the transport costs are reduced again.
  • the bottles are not surrounded by a box-like structure, which has the advantage that the labeling of the bottles is readily optically detectable.
  • the carrier frame can already be used by the beverage manufacturer without any problems, since automated conveying, packing, palletizing and storage, which is comparable to the known reusable systems, is easily possible, and it can be used as reusable packaging in a nationwide return system.
  • the support frame can be reused several times without reworking and reworking and is inexpensive to manufacture.
  • both the bottles and the support frame can now be used in one operation without prior separation from one another. This saves a considerable amount of storage costs, manpower and working hours. This feature can also be realized regardless of the shape of the support frame and the shape of the plastic bottle.
  • the container also has the advantage that it is simple and easy to handle due to the single handle, so that even several bottles can be transported simultaneously from the seller to the end user and from this back to the seller until finally to the car wash or recycling system .
  • the container Due to the low weight and the handle, the container is easy to carry both empty and full bottles.
  • a simple fixing of the bottles on the plate of the support frame is achieved in that the bottles have a conical bottle neck that widens at least in sections upwards. Bottles designed in this way are inserted into the recess in the plate in such a way that their expanding conical bottle neck is supported on the edge of the recess. Such bottles are preferably pushed into the recess from the outside through a lateral slot. A stable position is achieved in that the slot has a width corresponding to the tapered end of the conically widened bottle neck and the bottles lie with their center of gravity below the recess, so that tipping or slipping out is avoided with certainty.
  • the bottles have an upwardly widening conical bottle belly, the largest diameter of which is somewhat larger than the diameter of the cutouts in the plate.
  • the bottles inserted into the recesses of the plate from above remain in the recesses in the bottle base in such a way that the bottle belly which widens upwards fills the entire recess and the part of the bottle belly protruding beyond the plate has a larger diameter than the recess in the bottle Plate has, so that the bottle belly sits at this point on the upper edge of the recess in the plate.
  • This expansion of the bottle belly prevents the bottle from slipping further through the recess.
  • the expansion of the bottle belly can be conical or curved, the expansion can be rotationally symmetrical to the bottle axis or only in the area of individual radii.
  • bottles have at least one radially projecting projection which sits on the edge of the recess and prevents a bottle which has been inserted from above from slipping through the recess.
  • This radially projecting projection can be provided at any point on the circumference of the bottle, the area above the center of gravity of the bottle being preferred.
  • a bottle inserted into the recess of the plate from above is thus supported with its projection on the edge of the recess and is held securely in it because its center of gravity lies below the recess and thus prevents it from tipping or slipping.
  • a preferred embodiment provides that the bottles have a radially laterally protruding bulge.
  • the bottles have at least one additional projection below the projection sitting on the edge of the recess, which protrudes through the recess like a notch when the bottle is inserted into the recess, but a sinking of the plate when it is placed on a floor Container prevented.
  • Bottles inserted into the plate in this way are largely locked in it, so that they can only be pulled out of the plate again by overcoming the latching rear grip of the projection behind the recess. This locking ensures a stable fixing of the bottles in the support frame, both during transport and in the parked position.
  • the radial dimension of the second projection can be the same size as the radial dimension of the top of the recess on seated first tab. In this case, if the bottles are inserted from above or from below, a certain force is required to bring the edge of the recess in the plate between the two projections, this force must be applied again when the bottle is removed from the support frame.
  • This embodiment of the invention is also suitable in connection with an embodiment of the plate in which the recesses do not have a closed edge, but are too open after the edge of the plate, so that the bottle can be inserted laterally into the plate. In this case, the cut-out from the edge of the plate to the recess is somewhat smaller than the bottle diameter, so that a certain locking effect must also be overcome when the bottle is inserted and inserted laterally.
  • the radial dimension of the two projections one above the other is different; the radial dimension of the projection that comes to rest against the edge of the recess when the bottle is inserted is smaller than the radial dimension of the projection that occurs when the bottle is inserted comes to rest later on the edge of the recess. So if the bottles are inserted from above into the support frame, the lower projection is the one that has the smaller dimension and passes through the recess like a catch. If the support frame is placed on the bottles from above, the upper projection is the one with the smaller radial dimension over which the edge of the recess slides in a latching manner when the support frame is attached.
  • the second projection preferably consists of a bead and can in particular be designed as a material thickening of the bottle wall.
  • the container For logistics, that is, for inexpensive delivery and removal of the bottles, it is necessary for the container to have a uniform size, which means, for example, palletizing on Euro or DIN pallets with the dimensions 800 x 1200 mm or 1000 x 1200 mm is made possible.
  • Uniform outer dimensions of the container that is to say of bottles packed in a supporting frame, are achieved in that the projection with the larger radial dimension of a bottle, which is inserted in a recess in the vicinity of the plate edge, is still within the plate edge. Accordingly, the outer dimensions of the container are determined by the support frame, so that uniform pack sizes can be achieved with a uniform plate of the support frame.
  • the bottles inserted in the recesses are protected against lateral impact on other objects by the edge of the plate, which projects slightly beyond the side of the bottle.
  • a reduction in weight of the support frame is advantageously further increased by the fact that the plate has further cutouts which serve to save material.
  • These recesses can be used, for example, as holes through the plate set or be formed as recesses, which cause a section tapering of the plate or a reduction in the wall thickness of the plate.
  • the plate consists of rings which are connected to one another by webs to which a handle is attached.
  • a plurality of rings arranged laterally next to one another are connected to one another via webs and thus form a support plate into which the bottles can be inserted into the rings which represent the cutouts.
  • the handle is located in a central location, which is also connected to the rings by bars.
  • bottles connected to one another on a supporting frame on pallets requires the use of stackable devices, which is achieved in one embodiment in that the bottom of each bottle has a recess that can accommodate a bottle opening of a further bottle arranged underneath.
  • Bottles designed in this way can now be stacked several times on top of each other as a unit arranged in the support frame, both with and without intermediate layers, and thus allow the possibility of normal column and composite stacking, in which a stable bond is achieved, particularly when transported on pallets.
  • the handle can protrude above the bottles used, in other embodiments the handle only extends to just below the bottle opening, for example to the lower edge of the bead at the bottle opening, which further increases the problem-free stackability of the container.
  • the plate also has a cutout which corresponds to the contour of the handle. If the bottles are to be used and / or recycled at a location other than the supporting frame, empty supporting frames can be plugged into one another, the handle of the lower supporting frame passing through the recess in the plates formed as a longitudinal slot in the supporting frame above. As a result, these support frames can be transported without taking up a large amount of space and thus at very low cost, in particular when the handle of the support frame is essentially designed with a U-shaped or V-shaped cross section. When the support frame is inserted into one another, the handle of one support frame thus engages in the handle of the other support frame, thereby further saving space.
  • the containers are designed in such a way that they can be stacked one above the other to form a column or composite stack.
  • the plate can be designed such that the recesses means, such as spring elements or the like. have, which are supported on the bottle wall of a bottle inserted into the recess and prevent the plate from sinking when a container is placed on a floor.
  • the recesses means such as spring elements or the like.
  • the support frame advantageously has a downward facing apron on its peripheral edge.
  • This apron provided on the peripheral edge of the support frame or the plate offers an excellent stiffening of the plate without hindering the arrangement of the bottles in the plate.
  • the plate has significantly increased moments of resistance for bending and torsion both in its longitudinal direction and in its transverse direction. plates Aprons of this type do not run the risk of breaking, even if handled improperly.
  • the apron is conical.
  • the apron expediently widens from the peripheral edge of the plate to its lower edge.
  • the plate with the molded apron still has a uniform size, so that palletizing on Euro or DIN pallets with the dimensions 800 ⁇ 1200 mm or 1000 ⁇ 1200 mm is possible.
  • the apron is preferably formed with any height that extends at most between the plate and the bottom of the bottles used. With long aprons, they offer additional protection for the bottles arranged in the support frame not only against damage, but also e.g. against excessive warming up by sun exposure, against light exposure etc.
  • An additional stiffening of the support frame is achieved in that the apron has a stiffened lower edge.
  • the apron is writable, glued, printable or the like is designed as an information carrier. Accordingly, the supporting frame can also serve as an advertising medium or contain information about the goods packed in it, such as food or luxury items.
  • Another, space-saving and inexpensive container and support frame containing container in which the support frame has a plate that has several recesses intended for receiving the container and a handle connected to the plate is provided in that one or more of the recesses of the plate are provided with elastic bag-like receptacles.
  • Such a container consists of a support frame into which containers, e.g. Bottles are inserted.
  • the bottles are arranged in the plate-like part of the support frame and are also transported using a handle.
  • the bottles are held in the support frame in that the bottles are inserted through the cutouts in the plate into bag-like receptacles, which in turn are provided below the cutouts.
  • the bottles are thus carried by the bag-like receptacles and therefore do not require any special training.
  • the above means such as peripheral beads. have, which keep them at a distance from the bottle bottom in the recesses, so that the bottles are carried both by the means on the one hand and by the receptacle on the other.
  • the bag-like receptacle is designed like a net.
  • the receptacle advantageously consists of thread-like injection molded plastic. The attachment of receptacles below the plate does not hinder the stackability of the support frame, since the receptacle is made of an elastic material and can therefore be folded flat. This is supported by the fact that the receptacle is thin-walled.
  • FIG. 1 of a container designated overall by 1 several bottles 2 are arranged in a support frame 3.
  • the bottles 2 essentially consist of a cylindrical section 4 and a substantially frustoconical section 5 which is arranged coaxially above the cylindrical section 4 and which ends with its pointed end in a bottle neck 6.
  • the support frame 3 consists essentially of a plate 7, which in the illustration shown in FIG. 1 is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing and receives the bottles 2 in the area between their sections 4 and 5, and a carrying handle 8, which is on the top of the plate 7 protrudes in the direction of the bottle necks 6.
  • the cylindrical section 4 is in its full Played length, and has a slightly retracted bottom 9 at its lower ends. This retracted bottom 9 promotes insertion of the bottle into the support frame 3.
  • a bottom depression 10 is indicated by a broken line, which extends into the interior of the bottle 2.
  • the lower, wide end of the frustoconical section 5 engages, and a part of the plate 7 is indicated.
  • the lower end of section 5 is designed as a radially laterally protruding circumferential bead 11, which represents a first projection 12, and rests with this circumferential bead 11 on the upper side of plate 7.
  • second projections 13 On the underside of the plate 7, smaller bead-like elevations or projections 14 are provided as second projections 13, which can be formed, for example, as wall thickenings evenly distributed over the circumference. These elevations 14 engage under the plate 7 and fix it between the circumferential bead 11 and the elevations 14.
  • the plate 7 is shown as consisting of rings 16 connected to webs 15. These rings 16 have cutouts 17 into which the bottles 2 can be inserted from above.
  • the bottle 2 is pushed in until the elevation 14 reaches the ring 16 and the ring 16 is locked between the elevations 14 and the circumferential bead 11.
  • the peripheral bead 11 of a bottle 2, which is inserted into a recess 17, is still inside the outer edge of a ring 16. Accordingly, the outer peripheral edge of the container 1 forms the maximum outer dimension, which in a preferred embodiment is 200 x 300 mm.
  • the edge of the rings 16 slightly protruding from the bottles 2 protects the bottles 2 from the effects of lateral pressure.
  • the support frame 3 is subjected to considerable forces during packaging, transport or generally during normal handling, it is subject to little wear and tear when it is handled properly and is therefore often reusable.
  • the plate 7 preferably has further recesses 19 between the rings 16, which are provided for reducing the weight of the container.
  • the handle 8 which advantageously has a U-shaped or V-shaped cross section, is located in a central position on the top of the plate 7. This allows space-saving stacking of empty support frames 3.
  • a stacking of support frames 3 with bottles 2 arranged therein is also possible, several containers 1 being able to be stacked directly, and thereby the bottle necks 6 of the bottles 2 of the lower layer engage in the bottom recesses 10 of the bottles 2 of the layer arranged above and thereby create a stable bond.
  • the handle 8 does not have a disturbing effect when stacking several containers 1, since the handle 8 only extends to the lower edge 20 of each bottle neck 2 and thus does not collide with the bottoms 9 of the bottles 2 of a layer arranged above them.
  • the containers can not only be stacked exactly one above the other, but also offset one above the other or rotated by 90 °, so that the advantages of compound stacking, which is particularly desirable for containers stacked on pallets, can be achieved.
  • the plate 7 has a peripheral edge 22 to which an apron 23 adjoins.
  • This apron 23 extends from the peripheral edge 22 in the direction of the bottle bottoms, the length of the apron 23 being arbitrary.
  • the conical design of the apron 23, which widens from top to bottom, allows the support frame 3 to be stacked particularly well.
  • the lower peripheral edge 24 of the apron 23 is reinforced, so that a further reinforcement of the support frame 3 is achieved.
  • the outwardly facing surface of the apron 23 can e.g. serve as an advertising medium or as another information medium and can be written on, printed on, pasted on or the like.
  • the plate 7 has, for example on its underside, a bag-like receptacle 25 made of thread-like injection-molded plastic.
  • the middle bottle 2 is inserted from above through the recess 17 and is both by its peripheral bead 11 resting on the plate 7 and by the Recording 25 held.
  • the receptacle 25 is thin-walled and, due to its net-like structure, provides a view of the bottle. Since the receptacle 25 is elastic, it does not hinder the stackability of the support frame 3, since it can fold under the plate 7.
  • the receptacle 25 has the main advantage that it can also be used to carry bottles with smaller dimensions.
  • the receptacle 25 can be provided on one or more of the recesses 17 on the underside of the plate 7. With the receptacle 25, the advantage is achieved that containers with smaller dimensions, ie containers which are incompatible with the support frame 3, can be used and transported with the support frame.
