Description

Bottle box

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a box for bottles, of the type of those formed from a body laminate, such as cardboard or similar, and that define a hollow body for the accommodation of the bottles and a closing lid.

Background of the invention

It is currently a usual practice to Marketing of beverage bottles inside boxes. These boxes usually have a prismatic shape and are shaped usually in cardboard, although in some cases they can also be of wood.

Inside the box they are defined by crisscross cardboard sheets, a series of cavities for the positioning of the bottles, acting said sheets of cardboard as intermediate separators.

The problems posed by these boxes are, of a part that the intermediate separators, suppose an expense additional to be made up of cardboard sheets independent of the box and that the box, being formed in a opaque material, does not allow the display of the number and type of bottles contained inside, so, once used for the storage and transport of the bottles, a Once the bottles contained inside are removed.

It is also usual to position the bottles, a once removed from the box, in a bottle rack, in case the user have this item, or simply in a bookshelf, in a closet or in any other available space, which entails a risk of breakage of the bottles, since these They have reduced stability and can easily fall off.

Description of the invention

To solve the above problems, has devised the case for bottles object of the invention, which provides constructive particularities oriented to allow its subsequent use as a bottle rack and to be defined in the box itself portions or fins that act as bottle separators contained in the box, which contributes significantly to saving of material necessary for the formation of the separators interiors.

The bottle case of the invention is one of the formed from cardboard sheet, and defining a body for the housing of the bottles and a closing lid.

According to the invention, the box presents in opposite faces or sides mutually facing die cut that define windows that allow the assembly of the bottles, once removed from the box, in a transverse position outstanding, which allows the use of the box as bottle rack.

These die cuts have a configuration in "C" so that the material corresponding to the interior of the windows remain attached at one end to the box, said material forming fins that, once shot down towards the inside of the box act as bottle separators contained in the box during its use as an element of storage and transport of said bottles.

The use of tabs as separators intermediate, significantly reduces the additional material to use for the formation of intermediate separators.

Another advantage provided by the cashier's invention is that the mentioned windows allow the display of the bottles contained in the box during the storage and transport, without the need to unseal and opening the box.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the box of the invention with the bottles housed inside it in the storage and transport position.

- Figure 2 shows a profile view of the box used as a bottle rack, in which you can observe the cross-mounted bottles in the windows defined in opposite sides of the box.

- Figure 3 shows a plan view upper of the box of figure 1, sectioned by a plane horizontal and in which you can see the tabs acting as separators of the bottles contained in said box.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the figures referenced, the bottle case comprises a prismatic body rectangular (1) and a closing cover (2) formed from A cardboard sheet.

The bottle box comprises, on two sides opposite sides, some "C" configuration die cut that define windows (3) and tabs (4) that remain attached to the body of the box by the peripheral portion that has not been affected by die cutting.

During conventional use of the box, the windows (3) allow the visualization of the bottles (5) contained therein, without the need to open the box. In turn, the tabs (4), once folded towards the inside the box, act as intermediate separators of the bottles (5).

As can be seen in figure 3, in the case that the box contains two rows of bottles (5) will only be it is necessary to use an additional separator plate (6), since successive bottles (5) will be separated by the tabs (4) defined in the box by die cuts.

The windows (3) allow the use back of the box as a bottle rack, enough for this, as shown in figure 2, perform the transverse assembly of the bottles (5) in the opposite pairs of windows (3), protruding partially from the box.

Once the nature of The invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, is for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
