Description

The invention "relates to a bottle crate from Plastic, in particular with openwork side walls and with an inner framework, which has vertical compartments forms for receiving set bottles.

Such slide boxes are in the most varied of designs known. They are usually manufactured in one piece, for example by injection molding.

The invention is based on the object of such bottle crates made of plastic so that they can be used universally and provide increased protection for each set Convey bottles, preferably also the contents of the same.

This task is due to the in the characterizing part of the Main claim specified features solved. Beneficial Refinements of the bottle crate according to the invention are characterized in the remaining claims.

The plate or plates provided according to the invention make it possible to completely seize the bottle crate neutral and free of any reference to the respective beverage manufacturer and / or supplier as well as the respective To hold the drink, as the corresponding information is attached to the outside of the plate or plates can. If an opaque or for ultraviolet radiation impermeable plate formation is met, Then the contents of the bottles placed in the bottle crate are especially visible in the light or in the light. UV protected.

An embodiment of the bottle crate according to the invention is described below with reference to the drawing, for example. Sarin shows:

Fig. 1 shows a bottle crate for receiving six bottles in plan view or in the horizontal Longitudinal section along the line I - I according to FIG. 5;

FIG. 2 shows the right half of the side view in the direction of arrow II in FIG. 1;

3 shows the right half of the side view in sighting the arrow III in Fig. 1;

Fig. 4 shows the vertical longitudinal section along the Line IV - IV in Fig. 1; and

FIG. 5 shows the vertical cross section along the line V - V in FIG. 1.

The bottle crate shown is made in one piece from plastic, for example by injection molding, and is used to hold six bottles. It is interchangeable on the two long sides Plate 1 provided.

The bottle crate has two long side walls 2, two short side walls 5, four vertical corner posts 4, a bottom 5 and an inner truss 6, which divides the interior into six vertical compartments 7 e um to Rec one vial.

The two longer side walls 2 are of identical design and each consist, as is particularly clear from FIG. 2 and 5 can be seen, from an upper longitudinal spar 8, a central longitudinal strut 9 and a lower bottom longitudinal web 10. The upper longitudinal strut 8 and the central longitudinal strut 9 delimit an upper opening 11, the central longitudinal strut 9 and the lower bottom longitudinal web 10 a lower opening 12. Laterally the openings 11 and 12 are between enclosed by the two hollow corner pillars 4 at the two ends of the respective side wall 2.

The two shorter side walls 3 are also designed identically and each consist of, as is particularly clear 3 and 4 emerges from an upper cross member 13 »one middle crossbar 14 and a lower floor crossbar 15. The upper crossbar I3 and the middle crossbar 14 enclose an upper opening 16, the middle transverse strut 14 and the lower floor transverse web 15 a lower opening 17. The two openings 16 and 17 are laterally between the two hollow corner pillars 4 at the two ends the respective side wall 3 included.

The upper longitudinal bars 8 are higher than the upper transverse bars 13. The central longitudinal struts 9 and the central transverse struts 14 run in the same horizontal box level. The lower floor longitudinal webs 10 and the lower floor transverse webs 15 stand vertically from a self-contained, circumferential, horizontal bottom flange 18.

The vertical corner pillars 4 are, as mentioned, made hollow according to FIG. 1 and each go into the two adjacent, perforated side walls 2 and 3 above. The bottom 5 is also perforated and consists of each vertical Compartment 7 from a ring I9 with four evenly distributed, arms 20 projecting radially outward. In the case of the two pairs of rings adjacent to the two shorter side walls 3, there is each hanging 19 is provided with an inner cross of arms 21.

The inner framework 6 consists of a vertical longitudinal wall 22 and two vertical transverse walls 23 · the longitudinal wall 22 runs parallel to the two longer side walls 2 and divides the interior of the bottle case into two longitudinal halves which are divided into three vertical compartments 7 by the two transverse walls 23. How particularly clear 4, the longitudinal wall 22 is formed in the region of each compartment 7 by a D-shaped section 24, while According to FIG. 5, each transverse wall 23 has a Gisbsl-shaped upper edge 25 and a central opening 26.

The bottle crate is provided with receptacles for replaceable attachment of the two plates 1 on the two longer sides walls 2 so that they each cover the lower opening 12 of the respective Seitonwand 2, as can be seen particularly clearly from FIGS. The recordings for each plate 1 are from two lateral grooves 30 in the two vertical ones

Corner pillars 4 of the respective side wall 2 and of recesses | 31 ar. the outer end faces 32 of the two transverse walls 23 of the inner framework facing the respective side wall 2 6 formed, into which the respective plate 1 can be inserted.

The two vertical, opposite grooves for one or the other plate 1 extend inside on the central longitudinal strut 9 of the respective longer side wall 2 over, as particularly evident from Pig. 1 and 5, so that the respective plate 1 se its inner surface can apply. In addition, the two grooves 30 are aligned with the two recesses 31 of the two transverse walls 23 of the inner framework 6 at their respective outer end faces 32, so that the respective plate 1 with the lower edge the inside rests against the two transverse walls 23 and with the lower longitudinal edge between the two recesses 31 and the adjacent lower bottom longitudinal web 10 is included, as FIG. 5 shows particularly clearly.

In the case shown, each plate 1 closes the lower opening 12 of the associated, longer side wall 2 of the bottle crate. However, the plates 1 can also be made higher, so that they also the upper opening 11 of the respective, close longer side wall 2. Since the plates 1 are arranged interchangeably in the manner described are, higher and lower plates 1 can be used optionally.

The plates 1 can be made of any material of sufficient strength, for example cardboard, sheet metal or plastic, preferably a plastic that is impermeable to light or ultraviolet radiation. Then there is a special one effective protection of the contents of the respective bottles

The bottles placed in a gift box are protected from light or UV radiation, which is particularly good for fruit juices with a high level of exposure Vitamin C content is important. The plates 1 on the outside 33 can also be designed as information carriers and carry the information usual for bottle crates, so that the actual bottle crate is away can be kept free and is completely neutral, so that it can be used by the most varied of users and for the most diverse bottle contents can be used as there is no permanent reference to a specific beverage manufacturer and / or suppliers or a specific drink, such as a specific beer or mineral water or a certain lemonade or a certain fruit juice that is available on the bottle crate itself. To the corresponding Marking the Piaschenkasten in use, it is sufficient to plate 1 with the corresponding information on the outside 33 to plug in. Once the plates 1 have been removed, the labels can also be put into the bottle crate recognize set bottles easily.

Modifications of the described and illustrated embodiment are easily possible. For example, it is not absolutely necessary for the grooves 30 to be used a plate 1 on the vertical, hollow corner pillars 4, but they could also be provided on intermediate pillars if the respective bottle crate has such intermediate pillars. Measures can also be taken around. to attach the or each plate 1 to the respective side wall of the bottle crate at any height, for example such that in the case shown only the upper opening 11 of the respective side wall 2 is covered. If so desired perforated plates 1 can also be used.
