STACKABLE BOX FOR BOTTLES

DESCRIPTION

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention falls within the technical field of containers for the storage or transport of objects, more specifically in that of containers that are embedded, stacked or assembled, and in particular refers to a stackable storage box, transport and exhibition of bottles.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The use of cardboard allows the manufacture of light boxes while robust for the storage and transportation of all types of products. One of the most valued characteristics of this type of boxes, is its structural robustness to be stacked and stored in order to optimize storage space and facilitate transport, usually using pallets of standardized dimensions.

Another feature sought in these boxes is that they can be used additionally as an exhibitor, so that an operator or the end user does not have to manipulate its contents to extract it from the box and then place it on shelves or in the corresponding sales area . In this way, the operator only has to remove the lid of the box so that the contained products are visible and accessible to the consumer, and place it in its location.

The specific case of the bottles, whether wine or other beverages, presents special requirements regarding the needs of the boxes used for storage and transport, since both its essentially cylindrical geometry and the materials in which the They make extremely fragile.

Also, for wine bottles it is known that their placement in a horizontal position during storage can favor the organoleptic characteristics of the contained product, for which specific furniture, known as bottle racks, have been created designed to keep the bottles in a horizontal position or inclined, while preventing its movement due to rolling, which avoids possible falls and breaks.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the invention consists of a stackable box for storage, transport and exposure of bottles, formed from three cardboard sheets conveniently folded and coupled together to give rise to an essentially polygonal and prismatic geometry box and partially closed side faces .

From the first sheet, conveniently stamped and folded, the side walls of the box are constituted. A second sheet is linked to the first sheet to form the base of the box, as well as internal transverse partitions, these partitions counting with first through holes defined in their surface. The third sheet is intended to give rise to the lid of the box, and also has partitions with holes that will face the respective partitions of the second.

The respective holes of the partitions of the second and third sheets constitute through openings in the interior partitions of the box, intended to respectively house the necks and the bases of the bottles contained, to immobilize them and prevent displacements and breakages during their movement.

In its exposure configuration, the lid of the box, with its respective transverse partitions, is removed to expose the bottles contained inside. Since these bottles remain immobilized by having their respective necks and bases housed in the holes of the transverse partitions that start from the base, in a similar way to that achieved in a bottle rack, the box can be tilted with respect to the vertical to allow a more attractive exposure and better visual appreciation of the bottles by the consumer.

It is envisaged that the box comprises protrusions as well as grooves defined in their edges and / or vertices to improve their stability by stacking a plurality of boxes with each other.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical implementation thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a plan view of a development of the box obtained from a cardboard sheet, in which the different fold lines, break lines and perforations necessary to form said box are appreciated.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the box in its closed configuration.

Figure 3.- Shows a perspective view of the box in its open configuration, which allows the visualization of the bottles contained.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Next, a detailed explanation of a preferred embodiment of the object of the present invention is provided with the aid of the aforementioned figures.

The stackable box for bottles described is formed by the union of a first sheet (1), a second sheet (2) and a third sheet (3), shown in Figure 1, made of cardboard, conveniently stamped, folded and linked to each other by physical means.

The first sheet (1) consists of lateral longitudinal edges (4), an upper longitudinal edge (5) and a lower longitudinal edge (6). Said first sheet (1) further comprises first folding lines (7) to define portions in said first sheet (1) that once folded give rise to lateral faces (8) and a rear face (9) of the box . Also, along the upper longitudinal edge (5), a plurality of protruding tabs (10) are defined, as well as a plurality of recesses (11) are defined on the lower longitudinal edge (6).

In the portions of the first sheet (1) that once folded give rise to the lateral faces (8), through grooves (12) are further defined.

The second sheet (2) comprises second fold lines (13) to define portions in said second sheet (2) that once folded will give rise to a base (14), a first sector of the front face (15 ) and a first sector of an interior partition

(16)

of the box, said interior partition as well as the front face being perpendicular to the base (14). Two opposite longitudinal edges of the second sheet (2) additionally comprise projections (17) intended to be housed in the grooves (12) of the first sheet (1) in the case conformation.

The longitudinal edge of the first sector of the front face (15) comprises larger semicircular recesses (18), each of which is intended to accommodate the base of a bottle. Also, the respective longitudinal edge of the first sector of the inner partition

(16)

It comprises smaller semicircular recesses (19), each of which is intended to accommodate the neck of a bottle.

The third sheet (3) comprises third fold lines (20), which define portions that once folded will give rise to a cover (21), a second sector of the front face (22) and a second sector of the interior partition (23) of the box.

The longitudinal edge of the second sector of the front face (22) comprises larger arched recesses (24), intended to face the larger semicircular recesses (18) of the second sheet (2) to create housings for the bases of the bottles . On the other hand, the longitudinal edge of the second sector of the inner partition (23) comprises smaller arcuate recesses (25) intended to face the smaller semicircular recesses (19) of the second sheet (2) to create a housing for the neck of The bottles.

The sheets (1, 2, 3) thus described, conveniently folded and linked together, give rise to a stackable cardboard box that allows the accommodation of bottles in a horizontal position. These bottles are immobilized by having their respective necks and bases inserted in the housings defined both in the interior partition and in the front face, which allows safe transport and storage.

Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the box in its closed configuration, with the lid (21) closing the assembly upper. As you can see, the entrees

(11) and the grooves (12) allow the safe stacking of a plurality of boxes.

Figure 3 illustrates a box in its open configuration, in which the third sheet (3) that gives rise to the lid (21), the second sector of the front face (22) and the

10 second sector of the interior partition (23). This box, similar in appearance to a bottle rack, allows the visualization of the contained bottles and a simple access to them for their extraction.
