Definitions

  • THIS INVENTION relates to a crate. More particularly, the invention relates to a bottle crate.
  • a bottle crate which includes
  • the base-defining portion is substantially flat, i.e. without having protrusions projecting beyond a bottom surface thereof, for facilitating movement of the crate along a conveying means.
  • Each primary socket may have a seat-defining member arranged therein, each seat-defining member having a secondary socket-defining means associated therewith.
  • the primary socket-defining means may be partly constituted by the wall portion partially to define those primary sockets arranged about a periphery of the crate.
  • the primary socket-defining means may further include a plurality of spaced support elements projecting upwardly from the base-defining portion with additional support elements arranged at spaced intervals along the wall portion to extend above the wall portion, the primary socket-defining means further including webs extending between opposed, aligned support elements.
  • Each seat-defining member may comprise a platform extending parallel to the base-defining portion, the support elements protruding through the platforms.
  • a recess may be defined in each platform.
  • Each secondary socket-defining means may comprise a boss arranged in register with the recess of its associated seat-defining member.
  • Each boss may have a cylindrical portion having an opening in the base-defining portion. Then, the bearing means may be arranged at an end of each cylindrical portion opposite the opening. The bearing means may be in the form of a radially inwardly projecting lip.
  • At least an operatively lower surface of a free end of each lip may be rounded or radiused to inhibit scuffing of printing on the closure of the bottle received in the secondary socket, in use.
  • the crate is dimensioned so that when a plurality of crates are stacked on a pallet, the bottles in the topmost crate can be protected by inverting the crates of the invention and placing them over the tops of the bottles such that each lip of the inverted crate rests on the closure of one of the associated topmost bottles.
  • an operatively upper surface of the free end of each lip is also rounded to inhibit scuffing of the closure upon which it rests, in use.
  • Each support element may comprise a pillar, the pillars being hollow to facilitate stacking of empty crates, in use.
  • Each of those pillars arranged along the wall portion may be stepped along its length so that, in use, a lower edge of the wall portion of an upper crate, i.e. that part of the wall at a junction with the base-defining portion, seats on the steps of the pillars of a subjacent crate so that the wall portions of the nested crates are substantially co-planar.
  • a bottle crate in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention, is illustrated and is designated generally by the reference numeral 10.
  • the crate 10 is intended for use in the packing and transportation of 500 ml, PET cold drink bottles.
  • the crate 10 comprises a base-defining portion 14 defined by a lattice work 15,17 ( Figure 2).
  • the base-defining portion is substantially planar, i.e. without protrusions protruding downwardly therefrom, for facilitating movement of the crate 10 along a conveyor (not shown).
  • a wall portion 12 bounds and extends upwardly from the base-defining portion 14.
  • the wall portion 12 comprises a pair of opposed end walls 16 and a pair of opposed side walls 18.
  • a centrally located recess 20 is defined in the bottom of each end wall for facilitating lifting and carrying of the crate 10. As illustrated more clearly in Figure 2 of the drawings, these recesses 20 extend into the base-defining portion 14 to serve as handles for manoeuvring the crate 10.
  • Centrally located pillars 24 extend upwardly from the base-defining portion 14.
  • semi-spherical end pillars 26 and side pillars 26 extend upwardly from each end wall 16 and each side wall 18.
  • a quarter-spherical pillar 28 extends upwardly from each corner 30, formed at each junction between an end wall 16 and a side wall 18.
  • a web 32 extends between opposed, aligned central pillars 24 or between a central pillar 24 and an aligned, opposed side or end pillar 26, as the case may be.
  • the pillars 24, 26, end walls 16, side walls 18 and webs 32 define a plurality of primary sockets 34 in each of which a bottom part of a bottle is receivable. In the case of the crate illustrated in Figures 1 to 6 of the drawings, twelve such primary sockets 34 are defined.
  • a platform 36 is arranged above the base-defining portion 14 of the crate 10 in each primary socket 34.
  • a recess 38 is defined in each platform 36 to form a seat on which a petalloid base (not shown) of a bottle is received.
  • a boss 40 is centrally located below the platform 36 in register with each recess 38.
  • An inner, cylindrical portion 42 ( Figure 2) of the boss 40 defines a secondary socket 44 having a flared entrance opening 46 which opens out into the base-defining portion 14 of the crate 10.
  • Each secondary socket 44 is shaped and dimensioned to accommodate a closure 48 ( Figure 13) of a bottle 50 snugly therein.
  • the entrance opening 46 is defined by an angled wall portion 52 of the boss 36.
  • a bearing means in the form of a radially inwardly extending lip 54 is defined at an operatively inner end of the cylindrical portion 42 of the boss 40.
  • the lip 54 bears on a periphery or rim 56 of the closure 48 to effect rim loading on the closures 48 of the bottles 50 in a subjacent crate.
  • a free end 58 of the lip 54 is rounded or radiused to reduce the "footprint" of the lip 54 on the closure 48.
  • strengthening gussets 60 extend between the cylindrical portion 42 and a concentric, outer cylindrical wall 62 extending downwardly from each platform 36.
  • the central pillars 24 and the side and end pillars 26 have strengthening ribs 64 ( Figure 1).
  • the side and end pillars 26 have strengthening gussets 22.
  • the end pillars and side pillars 26 and the corner pillars 28 are stepped at their junctions with the end wall 16 and side walls 18 to form a step 66. Then, as illustrated in Figure 6 of the drawings, when a plurality of empty crates 10 is stacked, the empty crates 10 nest with bottoms of the end walls 16 and side walls 18 of an upper crate 10 seating snugly on the steps 66 of a subjacent crate 10 so that the end walls 16 and side walls 18 of the nested crates 10 are substantially co-planar thereby inhibiting the formation of discontinuities which could result in snagging of the nested, empty crates 10 on objects.
  • FIG. 7 to 12 of the drawings a bottle crate 10, in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention is illustrated.
  • like reference numerals refer to like parts, unless otherwise specified.
  • This embodiment of the crate is intended for use in the packing and transportation of 2 litre PET cold drink bottles.
  • only six primary sockets 34 are defined in the crate 10.
  • the construction of the crate is substantially as described above with reference to Figures 1 to 6 of the drawings.
  • empty crates are inverted and placed over the closures 48 of the bottles 50 in the topmost layer of crates.
  • the pillars 24, 26 and 28 are dimensioned such that the tips of the pillars 24, 26 and 28 of the inverted crates 10 bear against the tips of the corresponding pillars 24, 26 and 28 of the topmost layer of packed crates 10 so that the pillars 24, 26 and 28 serve as load-bearing structures.
  • a bottle crate 10 which effects rim loading on closures 48 of bottles 50 in packed crates 10.
  • the radiused free end 58 of each lip 54 reduces the scuffing of printed material carried on the top of the closure 48 of the bottles 50.
  • an additional advantage is provided due to the dimension of the crate 10 which enables empty crates to be inverted and placed on bottles in the topmost layer of crates to protect such bottles.
