Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bottle crate according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such flat crates are used for the transport and storage, especially of beverage bottles.
  • a generic bottle crate is known (DE-A-3 801 224, see FIGS. 5-8) with elastic clamping elements, which are tongues that protrude downwards, outwards and then downwards on separating columns made of two crossed tabs that protrude from the floor are trained and have the task of preventing twisting of glass bottles transported in the bottle crate and ensuring that their labels face a window in the side wall of the bottle crate and thus remain visible from the outside.
  • the plastic bottles which have recently become increasingly widespread, in particular the light PET bottles, pose an additional problem that does not occur with the relatively heavy glass bottles, namely that they are very easily emptied by the wind, vibrations or when transported on the back of a truck the interaction of both can be lifted out of the bottle crate.
  • the invention is intended to remedy this.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims, creates a bottle crate with elastic clamping elements, which have a relatively steep spring characteristic, so that a sufficient contact force is developed even with little deformation.
  • the load on the clamping element is better distributed and is not concentrated in narrowly defined zones.
  • the risk of breakage or other injury to the clamping element due to improper handling of the bottle crate is also greatly reduced by anchoring it on both sides.
  • the bottle crate is simplified in the customary plastic injection molding process, especially when the separating columns are adapted.
  • FIG. 1 shows a detail from a top view of a bottle crate according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 shows a diagonal cross section through a compartment of the bottle crate according to Fig. 1 with a separation column and a semi-separation column to which it abuts and
  • FIG. 3 shows a detail from a bottom view of the bottle crate according to FIG. 1.
  • the bottle crate shown in the figures has a bottom 1, from which the separation columns protrude, which are called after hollow pins 2 open at the bottom are formed.
  • the hollow pins 2 are spaced apart from one another and form a regular pattern, preferably they are arranged in the corners of squares which form compartments 3 and are connected by low dividing walls 4.
  • the bottom sections in the compartments are formed by ribs and rings 5 connected to the hollow pins 2 and the dividing walls 4.
  • the bottom 1 is surrounded by side walls 6, which can be provided with windows and on which the hollow pin 2, correspondingly designed half hollow pin 2 ! are arranged.
  • the hollow pins 2 have an approximately square cross section. Each of the four compartments 3, which abut one of them, the hollow pin 2 turns to one of its side wall sections 7, which are connected by beads 8 at the edges to form a substantially closed side wall. At the upper end of the hollow pin 2, the side wall sections 7 converge approximately pyramid-like. At the tip an opening 9 is attached, which allows the drainage of liquid when the
  • Bottle crate - with the bottom up - is washed.
  • Each of the side wall sections 7 has a substantially vertically oriented bracket 10, which itself forms part of the same, but is separated from the wall regions bordering on both sides by narrow slots 11 and protrudes somewhat into the compartment 3 to which the side wall section 7 faces.
  • the bracket 10 merges into the inclined part of the side wall section 7, at its lower end into a foot part 12 of the hollow pin 2 that widens slightly downwards.
  • It consists of a lower section 13, which is slightly behind the side wall section 7 inclined on the outside, approximately vertically aligned and an upper section 14 which is bent toward the hollow pin 2.
  • it has one on each edge longitudinal rib 15 projecting into the interior of the hollow pin 2.
  • the bracket 10 If a bottle 16 (shown in dashed lines) is inserted into the compartment 3, the bracket 10 is pressed slightly against the hollow pin 2 and, owing to the anchoring on both sides thereof, develops a relatively large contact pressure which pushes the lower section 13 of the bracket 10 to the outside the bottle 16 presses, d. H. is effective on a fairly large area, so that there is a reliable frictional connection.
  • the high bending stiffness inherent in the hollow pin 2 even with a small wall thickness, ensures that the contact pressure is not reduced when the bottle crate is only partially filled by bending the hollow pin 2 sideways against an unfilled neighboring compartment.

Abstract

Un casier à bouteilles présente des ergots creux (2) dirigés vers le haut depuis le fond (1) du casier et ouverts vers le bas, qui sont disposés dans les angles contre lesquels sont juxtaposés quatre compartiments rectangulaires (3). Les ergots creux (2) présentent sur chacune de leur section latérale (7) dirigée vers chaque compartiment adjacent (3), un étrier (10) relié à l'ergot creux (2) par ses extrémités supérieure et inférieure, qui est séparé des zones juxtaposées des deux côtés de la section latérale (7) par des fentes (11) et qui s'avance relativement dans le compartiment (3). Cet étrier est renforcé intérieurement par deux nervures longitudinales (15). Il forme un élément de maintien qui en cas de faible déformation exerce une force de pression effective relativement élevée agissant entre sa section inférieure approximativement verticale (13) et une bouteille (16) insérée dans le compartiment (3) et qui maintient ainsi solidement même des bouteilles vides en polyéthylène.
