Definitions

  • the invention relates to a load carrier for selectively transporting bottles and / or bottle carriers containing the same and / or different format.
  • beverage crates are used to transport filled bottles from the beverage manufacturer to the consumer and to return the empties.
  • the bottle carrier can be designed as a basket ("Basket”), which have compartments from which protrude the bottlenecks of the bottles used above.
  • the basket has a removal safeguard in the form of a gripped by the bottle necks lid, which secures the bottles in the carrier.
  • bottle carriers in the form of "wrap” are known, which are wrapped around a group of bottles to summarize them.
  • bottle carriers in the form of shrink films are known (“sleeve”), which envelop a group of bottles. The shrink films are pulled as a tube over the group of bottles, cut and shrunk in a shrink tunnel under heat, so that they fit tightly to the bottles.
  • clip Another bottle carrier is the clip ("clip").
  • clip This is a carrier which takes the form of a small height plate or box with holes for receiving the necks of a group of bottles and retaining means in the form of small tabs at the edge of the holes for retaining the bottles on the bottle caps or other lids in the clip having.
  • the emptied bottles are usually placed individually for the return transport without bottle carrier on the load carrier. But it is also possible to place the empties in the bottle carrier of the basket type used for the return transport on the carrier.
  • the WO 2010/055204 A1 describes a plate-shaped carrier for bottles on which at least bottle carrier with 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 bottles can be placed.
  • the carrier has an underside with elements for supporting the neck or crown cork of bottles and a top for carrying the bottoms of bottles. Around the top is an edge that supports bottles and bottle carriers located within the rim.
  • On the carrier there are at least four rows of bottle shelters in which at least five bottle spaces are arranged. Between the spaces for bottles there are support elements that stand up from the top to support individual bottles and bottle carriers.
  • At least in the middle of four storage locations for bottles at each corner of the load carrier at least one Halbpinole is arranged, which has at least one curved support surface which is associated with the parking space for bottles in the corner of the load carrier.
  • the known load carrier is indeed equipped with basket bottle carriers for different numbers of bottles. However, it is not stocked with bottles of different sizes and not with sleeve, sleeve or staple bottle carriers and has only a limited to 20 bottles capacity.
  • a charge carrier which has the double format of the aforementioned charge carrier and can accommodate up to 40 bottles.
  • the load carrier is subdivided by compartment walls, which are upstanding from a bottom wall, into compartments for every six bottles, in each of which two quills stand upright.
  • the compartments are circumferentially arranged along the outer casing on the carrier, wherein on each longitudinal side two compartments with their longitudinal side and on each transverse side of a Gefach is arranged with its longitudinal side.
  • this load carrier On the longitudinal central axis, this load carrier has a series of four further bottle storage spaces in a central elongated compartment.
  • this bottle carrier bottle carriers for six bottles (“six packs") can be used in the larger sections. Four individual bottles can be used in the central elongated compartment.
  • the known charge carrier has the disadvantage that it is designed for bottles with a specific format and only for six-bottle carrier.
  • the EP 2 530 024 A1 describes a load carrier for the transport of a larger number of bottles, which is more flexible in terms of the formats of the bottles and the bottle carrier.
  • the carrier for selectively transporting bottles and / or bottle carriers having the same and / or different format has a bottom wall, upstanding skirting walls from the edges of the bottom wall.
  • the bottom wall has on the upper side a storage surface for optionally placing the bottoms of bottles and / or bottle carriers, which has storage spaces for bottles, which are arranged in a matrix-like arrangement with five rows and eight columns.
  • Supporting elements for supporting bottles and / or bottle carriers are provided between the parking spaces, wherein a central web extending parallel to these columns for stabilizing the bottom wall and for laterally supporting bottles and / or bottle carriers projects from the bottom wall in the middle between two central gaps and extending on both sides of the central web a side bar for stabilizing the bottom wall and side supports of bottles and / or bottle carriers between two rows of parking spaces parallel to these rows.
  • a half quill or quill is arranged in the middle of four pitches having at least one support surface facing the parking space for bottles in the corner of half of the bottom wall.
  • the bottom wall has on the bottom a bearing surface for selectively supporting the neck and / or lid of other bottles and / or the top of other bottle carriers, wherein the other bottles and / or the other bottle carrier are arranged on a carrier of the same kind.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a load carrier for the transport of bottles, which is more flexible with regard to the usable bottle carrier and keeps individual bottles safer.
  • first and second flat quillols favors the optional applicability of bottle carriers of different sizes with bottles contained therein and of individual bottles.
  • the flat quills together with the full quills and / or half-quills and / or flat quills and the enclosure walls, counteract the tipping over of individual bottles in the charge carrier.
  • the tipping of individual bottles is effectively prevented even if individual bottles are placed only on a part of the parking spaces and another part of the parking spaces is vacant.
  • the contact between adjacent bottles is prevented by the improved lateral support of the individual bottles and thus reduces the noise level during transport of the charge carrier.
  • the carrier is suitable for the insertion of basket-type, cuff-type and shrink-wrap type bottle carriers.
  • the sleeves can engage in holes or slots on the underside of the bottle carrier or produce them when inserting one of the bottle carrier itself, especially in Schrumpffolietyp.
  • the term "flat quill” from the bottom wall of the carrier referred to upstanding pins, which have substantially the shape of an elongated plate or a strip.
  • full quill from the bottom wall upstanding pins
  • the cross-sections in the direction of two mutually perpendicular axes have matching or substantially matching dimensions.
  • Full quills for example, have a substantially diamond-shaped or circular cross-section.
  • Flat quills and full quills are each arranged with the center of their cross section in the middle of a group of four pitches.
  • flat flat quill refers to flat quills which have only half the cross section of a flat quill.
  • Half flat quills are each arranged with a lateral edge of their cross section in the middle of a group of four parking spaces.
  • half-quillons in this patent application from the bottom wall upstanding pins are referred to, which have substantially half the cross section of a full quill.
  • Half-quills are each arranged with the center of their side, which corresponds to the vertical center plane of a full quill, in the middle of a group of four parking spaces.
  • Half-quills are preferably flat on the side corresponding to the vertical median plane of a full quill.
  • the Halbpinolen are curved on this side, preferably to the outside.
  • quills The full quills, half quillins and flat quills are collectively referred to in this application as "quills”.
  • the ribs increase the stability of the Flachpinolen and act to tilt two individual bottles on each other towards, which are arranged on two adjacent parking spaces next to the same flat side of the Flachpinole.
  • the flat quills on the lateral edges of the body in the longitudinal direction extended thickening. The thickenings also cause the stability of Flachpinolen and counteract a tilting of two individual bottles towards each other, which are arranged on adjacent parking spaces on different flat sides of Flachpinolen.
  • the charge carrier has a first support wall projecting from the bottom wall and extending in the direction of the rows in the middle of the two central rows with parking spaces between the two central first flat quillols.
  • the charge carrier has a second support wall which projects upwards from the bottom wall and extends in the direction perpendicular to the rows of parking spaces in the middle between the second and the third storage spaces of each row with a middle part extending between the two second flat clots and between on the second Flachpinolen and the side walls extending side part.
  • the first support wall and / or the second support wall stabilize the ground with comparatively little use of material.
  • the underside of the bottom wall can be formed without a stiffening element or with less or smaller sized stiffening elements than in conventional load carriers. This material can be saved.
  • the first and / or the second support wall helps to protect individual bottles against tipping and to avoid contact between adjacent bottles and noise.
  • the full quills have a substantially diamond-shaped cross-section and the Halbpinolen a cross section with in Substantially in the form of a half rhombus, with the first diagonal of the diamonds aligned parallel to the rows of pitches and the second diagonal of the diamonds perpendicular thereto.
  • the full quills and Halbpinolen form support surfaces, which are each aligned to an adjacent parking space. As a result, the lateral support of individual bottles is improved.
  • the full quills and / or the half quill have curved support surfaces, which each face an adjacent parking space and have a corresponding contour as the parking space.
  • curved support surfaces Preferably, full quills with a diamond-shaped cross-section and / or half-quills with a cross-section with the shape of half a rhombus are provided with the curved support surfaces.
  • the full quills and / or half quills and / or flat quills have an upwardly tapering cross section and / or an upper quill section tapering upwards at the upper end. This facilitates the insertion of the sleeves into openings or slots in the bottom of a bottle carrier.
  • the height of the first support wall corresponds at least at its two lateral edges to the height of the two central first flat quills. As a result, the stability of the bottom wall in the most heavily loaded central area is particularly increased. According to a further embodiment, the first flat quills and the first support wall have the same height everywhere.
  • the height of the second support wall is less than the height of the second flat quill. As a result, a sufficient stabilization of the bottom wall can be achieved while saving material. Furthermore allows the use of bottle carriers having the slot in the bottom and in the adjacent walls to receive and bridge the second support wall. This allows the insertion of bottle carriers for 10 bottles in the carrier. According to a further embodiment, the height of the second support wall is half to one third of the height of the second flat quill.
  • the full quills and / or half-quills and / or flat quills have a height of 80 mm to 150 mm, preferably of about 115 mm, and / or the second supporting wall has a height of 30 mm to 70 mm, preferably of about 52 mm up.
  • These sleeves are relatively low and thus material-saving.
  • the second support wall with the dimensions mentioned allows the use of bottle carriers with a slot at the bottom.
