Definitions

  • the invention relates to a crate having a substantially rectangular outer periphery and provided with a partitioning for arranging bottles or like objects in three rows, the bottles in one row being staggered in relation to those in another row.
  • a crate of this kind is known from French Patent No. 1,362,176.
  • a partioning may be provided in the crate, with the bottles in the middle row staggered in relation to the bottles in the two outer rows, in the manner as for the known crate of French Patent Specification No. 1,362,176.
  • the distance between the axes of two adjoining rows can then be shorter than in the cases of rows of bottles which are not mutually staggered.
  • the distance by which bottles in the middle row are staggered in relation to the bottles in the two outer rows is equal to half the distance between centres of the bottles in a row. This distance may however also be shorter than the distance between centres of the bottles in a row, and is dependent, among other factors, on the outside dimensions of the crate, the diameter of the bottles, and the desired number of bottles in a row.
  • the object of the invention is now to provide a crate of the type described above, which is provided with a partitioning which does not show the drawback mentioned above.
  • a crate which is characterized in that the partitioning is skewsymmetric in relation to the axes extending through the centre point of the crate and parallel to the side walls of the crate, while the bottles in the two outer rows are staggered relative to each other.
  • One outer row of bottles preferably lies, in a corner of the crate, against one side wall of the crate, extending transverse to the rows, and the other outer row of bottles, in the corner obliquely opposite said corner of the crate, against the opposite side wall of the crate, extending transverse to the rows, whereby optimum arrangement of the bottles is achieved.
  • the middle row of bottles is a continuous row which, viewed in the lengthwise direction of the rows, is situated in the middle between the two outer rows, which are staggered in relation to one another.
  • the bottles at the two ends of the middle row thus lie clear of the side walls of the crate which extend transverse to the rows of bottles, so that, if hand openings are provided in these side walls, it is easy to insert the hands into these openings.
  • the middle row of bottles is divided into two halves, which lie against the oppositely situated crate side walls extending transverse to the rows.
  • a space is thus provided between the compartments, wherein a central handle can optionally be disposed.
  • the embodiments of the crate according to the invention which are shown in Figures 1 and 2 are intended to hold twelve bottles 1, arranged in three rows of four bottles each. Both embodiments of the crate have a substantially rectangular outer periphery.
  • the outside dimensions of the crate will be adapted to the standardized dimensions of a pallet, so that a determined number of crates will exactly completely fill the loading surface of the pallet.
  • the bottles which are to be placed in the crate have an outside diameter such that it is not possible to arrange three bottles side by side in the direction of the width of the crate.
  • the crate according to the invention is provided internally with a partitioning 2 which is skewsymmetric with respect to the axes 7 and 8 respectively extending through the centre point and parallel to the respective side walls 3, 4 and 5, 6 of the crate, and which in addition is such that the bottles in the two outer rows are staggered relative to each other.
  • the partitioning is such that the middle row of bottles is a continuous row which, viewed in the lengthwise direction of the crate, is situated in the middle between the two outer rows of bottles which are staggered in relation to one another.
  • Gaps 9 and 10 are thus formed between the bottles situated at the two ends of this row and the short side walls 5, 6 of the crate. If hand openings are provided in the two short side walls 5, 6, approximately in the middle, these gaps 9, 10 will enable the crate to be picked up easily.
  • the partitioning is such that the middle row of bottles is divided into two halves, and these two halves lie against the oppositely situated side walls 5 and 6.
  • the two halves of the middle row of bottles come to lie, in a direction transverse to the rows, slightly offset with respect to one another.
  • a space 11 is formed in the middle part of the crate, and can be used for the disposal of a central handle.
