Description

Low depth, nestable tray for fluid containers

The present invention relates to be used to transport or store low depth, nestable tray such as the drinking container of 12 fluid ounce aluminium pots or 2 liters of plastic bottles.

Soft drink, beer and other beverages, short wall board dish commonly used or carton storage or transportation in wholesale process.This class cardboard disc is generally firm inadequately to be reused, and therefore must be assumed charge by the retailer, and give and abandoning.The carton quality is thin, and is fragile when making moist, and not attractive in appearance, commodity fully can not be showed, does to promote and propaganda.Therefore, need a kind of recyclable and reusable pallet, do the storage and the transportation of can and so on and use.This pallet is answered light weight, easily puts and carries, and make economical.More in recent years a kind of be exclusively used in 24 the 12 easy-to-draw aluminium pots of fluid ounce of shipment recyclable reusable pallet for example, as transfer the possession of in No. the 07/272nd, 039, the same cessionary's of the application's case issued for approval U.S. patent application case and disclose.The incorporated herein by citation of this patent application is with comparing.

For taking storage space less and being easy to carrying, the vacant reusable vinyl disc in No. 039 application can stack mutually.The pallet intussusception is a little height only, perhaps only accounts for 1/4th of its height.Dish of just every increase increases by one at the bottom-to-top-height that stacks blank panel and coils 3/4ths height.Therefore blank panel is wanted a large amount of storage spaces, and piling up may be very high, pretty troublesome during carrying.The periphery of pallet limit wall is closely knit, so the bottom of jar or other containers is remained in the periphery, especially when cargo-carring dish was stacked, the bottom of jar did not expose.So just, be difficult for seeing in the placing whether fill, also be difficult for seeing the kind of label understanding container.

Can with plastic box new development be arranged again, transportation is such as 2 liters of beverage bottles.Recently a estable and the example that can pile up the storage plastic container, for No. the 4th, 823,955, the same cessionary's of the application US Patent in container.This Sheng case is the height of the bottle that holds greater than the inside of height usually, therefore when Shengs case is stacked, contains case and is not pressed in bottle pushing up in the following chest.On the contrary, contain the weight that the limit wall of case bears top chest and interior article thereof.The manufacturing of this Sheng case, the warehousing charges of transportation and empty van is with high, because it is quite big to contain case, it is many to take up space.Owing to contain case bottle is centered on, can not fully show article in it.

Therefore the development of plastics tray is arranged, and Qi Bianbi is lower than the height of hiding the bottle of going into.Contain the bottle in the case below being placed on, support to be placed on the weight of other Sheng casees above it.Modern plastics polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle is welcome especially, because it is transparent, light weight is also cheap.Though bottle has flexibility, the stretching resistance of wall is strong, can bear the pressure of carbonated beverage safely.And its flexible wall can bear surprising compressive load, if these load apply vertically.Therefore importantly bottle can not toppled in case or in the dish, because load is not consistent with the longitudinal axis of containing case when stacking, the bottle of pressurized may be out of shape.High capacity PET bottle is especially true, such as two liters of bottles that are widely used in soft drink.Therefore, some has the Sheng case in the field to require supplementing structure earlier, keeps bottle stable.Other Sheng case is carried handle, must remove handle when stacking empty van, and this is not only an inconvenience but also time taking formality.Some tray also has higher wall, reduces the condition of showing.

Be particularly suitable for putting a kind of design of the short wall case of stacking of two liters of PET bottles, it is the design of " the fort case " of present assignee, storage as disclose with No. the 07/186th, 140, U.S. patent application case that the application belongs to issued for approval together, its full content is quoted from this article and is compared.This class is contained case has some columns to extend upwardly from the case bottom, with the some compartments of putting bottle of the common formation of sidewall.It is similar when this Sheng case that inner column arranged is vacant to the Middle Ages fort.Empty in this column, empty van can overlap from the top down to be put.The Sheng case of this simple shape also has the avris column of spacing to gain in strength, and still container wherein can be exposed.Yet empty van is aimed in this designing requirement could be with its intussusception, and it is complicated slightly and time-consuming to make formality owe ideal.

The usually single retail of the beverage of 12 fluid ounces or 16 fluid ounce capacity is sold not according to 6 can packages in convenience store exactly.With bottle or when jar taking out from its 6 jars (secondary) packing, no matter secondary package is shrink wrapping, and cardboard casket or interconnected plastic ring all need be changed the expense manpower.

Some known pallet does not forever keep its drinking container spacing relation, therefore when transportation container mutually friction and with contain the box structure friction.This effect may be wiped the label of container, or prints on container, and this is a problem especially to metal soft drink can or beer can.

Therefore, a main purpose of the present invention is that proposition is a kind of improved, the improved low depth, nestable tray of storage or transportation such as containers such as beverage can and beverage bottle.

Another purpose of the present invention is to propose a kind of improved estable container tray design, all accounts for less space when the pallet that will fill stacks or during the empty pallet intussusception.

Another object of the present invention is to propose a kind of improved low depth, nestable tray, can is placed apart in the dish of a compactness, and rub mutually when preventing to transport.

A further object of the invention is the plastic pallet that proposes a kind of estable, and is in light weight, makes economical and attractive in appearance.

Another object of the present invention is to propose a kind of improved can using again to contain pallet, can and store the container that intersperses in order to transportation, and the container that is fixedly connected into six can packages.

For reaching these purposes, the application proposes a kind of drinking container pallet of estable of novelty.This pallet is Unitarily molded by the basic plastic components of three parts, i.e. base plate, upper railings and and some be bevelled column substantially.Some liquid container supporting areas are arranged on the plate upper surface, and each supports other liquid container of branch.Some districts that hold are arranged again on the base plate lower surface, hold the top of the similar liquid container of one deck in the similar dish below the base plate.The fence setting band manufacturing that vertical surfaces externally and internally is arranged, there is the outside micro stretching of bead its top side.Fence is on base plate, and is basic parallel with base plate, so when being placed on liquid container on the base plate, and fence but has enough relative heights to container below vessel top, and anti-container is toppled over.Column connects base plate and coaming plate and becomes one betwixt.Column has spacing to center on the outside of base plate, is located between the adjacent supporting area.Somewhat frusto-conical is respectively arranged, be formed on longitudinal slot outside on the base plate, reach bead from base plate substantially.Groove has wedge shape upwards, tilts to base plate down, and it is configured as the inside face that can slip into similar column in the similar dish therein, thereby when with the blank panel intussusception, base plate is included in the fence of opening wide.Between the adjacent upright posts, and open wide between fence and the base plate and along zones such as both sides and two ends, form the design of light weight, container in the dish can relatively be known see.Base plate preferably has penetrating sash shape structure design, and is not only attractive in appearance but also plastic material that need are few.Therefore the back-plane design light weight of denser and inexpensive.Also can establish stable corner post,, inwardly stretch downwards from the support region of fence to the base plate bight.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention have the people of general understanding to field of the present invention, and the narration below reading just can be understood in conjunction with the accompanying drawings more.

The present invention can do some variations, its some shown in the drawings.This paper will illustrate that the present invention can be used for holding (liquid) container of any kind, is particularly useful for 12 fluid ounce metal cans and two liters of PET bottles.Can put six jars one group container (jar) or single jar.

First desirable embodiment of pallet of the present invention is used number 100 total representing in Fig. 1-14.Pallet 100 is particularly suitable for holding 12 fluid ounce metal cans, is used for soft drink and beer person such as the typical case, for example shown among Figure 14 102.Pallet 100 other pallets of comparison are described in detail,, can be used as reference when narrating other pallet schemes afterwards about the narration of its corresponding component.

Pallet 100 usefulness are integrally moulded such as plastics such as polyethylenes, four primary elements are arranged, an i.e. base plate 104, one rectangle fence 106 spacing above base plate is placed and is parallel with base plate, some columns 108 stretch between base plate 104 and fence 106 and are attached thereto, four jiaos of pallet 100 have pillar 110 to connect between fence 106 and base plate 104, provide additional bight to support to pallet 100.Yet the present invention does not need angle post 110, can understand from some other scheme of description.

Base plate 104 has upper surface 112, forms some (24) liquid container supporting area 114, supporting liquid-container 102.Every supporting area 114 roughly has 2.650 sq ins.Base plate lower surface 116 has some districts 118 that hold, the top that holds the similar liquid container of one deck in the similar pallet of floor below, as among Figure 14 at the number of marking on a map 120 places with shown in the loading pallet of similar (identical).On the position of the spacing on the base plate lower surface 116, arrange the domatic guard member of stretching downwards from lower surface, described in above-mentioned the ' No. 039 application, also belong in the scope of the invention.These domatic guard members are established slidingsurface, thereby the pallet 100 after the loading, are easy to slide on the bead on the tank deck of similar cargo-carring pallet 120 below, and do not need pallet is improved, and make loading and the pallet stacked is moved conveniently.

Fence 106 with column 108 location, has enough height above base plate 104, give when preventing conveying tray 100, and the container 102 that is placed on the base plate is toppled over.But then quite low in " tray " configuration, thus the top of the container 102 on the base plate 104 stretch out, so container itself directly support above the weight of pallet, as understanding from Figure 14.Different with the design of above-mentioned " fort case ", do not need additional structure to extend upwardly, or extend upwardly from the middle part of base plate 104 from fence 106.Fence 106 also has the band 124 of a vertical inside and outside wall 126,128, and there is bead 130 top side slightly to overhanging.The end angular of band 124 and bead 130 has level and smooth fillet.The vertical direction of inside and outside wall 126,128 at Fig. 7, is represented with section in 10,11 and 14.Because outer wall 128 is not outward-dipping, thus can keep the minimum of pallet 100 always to measure, approximately identical with corrugated Sheng case.2.000 inches of the bottom-to-top-heights of pallet 100, width (as shown in Figure 2) is 10.750 inches, 16.125 inches of length.Band 124 has waveform or arc configuration, above near each liquid container supporting area 114 of inwall 26, cylindrical smooth surface 132 is arranged, and is corresponding with the round sidewall of container 102 on the supporting area.Base plate 104 also has the design of waveform periphery, and is outwardly-bent on the position 134 in the external support district 114 of each liquid container, basic cylindrical corresponding bottom liquid container.

Column 108 upwards reaches on the fence 106 from

base plate

104, and 136 positions, place of the waveform periphery turning-in between supporting area 116.These column 108 each formation frustoconical part roughly forms the vertical channel 138 to base plate 104 outsides.There are three faces on the inside surface of column 108, respectively outwards tilts upward from base plate, reaches on the fence.Intermediate surface 140 is smooth, and two outside faces 142,144 are lateral extension roughly, and frustoconical is arranged.For example, configuration Fig. 1 that these are surperficial, 6,7 and 8 as seen.There is pyramidal structure on surface 142 as shown in Figure 7, and the radius of conical bottom is 1.300 inches, each hypotenuse inclination 10 degree, 0.100 inch of wall thickness.The inside face of column 108 is roughly taper, tilts to longitudinal centerline, even jar 102 intersperses, even when pallet 100 is made normal transport, also can not contact with adjacent column.Groove 138 has corresponding configuration, holds the inside face of the column of another pallet inside, as shown in figure 13, provides a cover to insert deep arrangement.So blank panel 100 of every increase only increases a narrow fence height, only about 3/4ths inches of the height of increase in the empty pallet of intussusception is folded.

Angle post 110 is also inwardly downward-sloping, and taper surfaces externally and internally 145 is arranged, and 146(is identical with column, sees Fig. 9), when blank panel being pressed intussusception shown in Figure 13 or separating, slide over each other along surfaces externally and internally.

Plate upper surface 112 may whole plane smooth planar.Recessed zone is perhaps arranged, the bottom that wherein holds a liquid container 102 in each supporting area 14; Short separation raised line is perhaps arranged from the teeth outwards, supporting area 114 is separated, below with reference to Figure 31-43 explanation.

Ideal design is that base plate 104 is molded as the trellis configuration, and configuration has the shape of opening wide of break-through, as Fig. 1-3(and 26-28) shown in, thereby only need be with less base plate plastic material.Make base plate 104 inexpensive and light weight provides design attractive in appearance like this.This trellis design preferably has some circular pieces 148, has one in every supporting area 114.Each circular piece 148 is slightly less than the bottom of the liquid container of being supported 102.There are some radial pins 149 to extend radially out, circular piece is suspended or support from each circular piece 148.Circular piece 148 forms one or more arrays by walking crosswise and keep straight on arrangement, shown in Fig. 2 does for example.In the ideal design in Fig. 1-14, four 2 * 3 arrays are arranged, hold four six can packages; 24 supporting areas 114 are just arranged in 4 * 6 arrangement.Circular piece 148 forms crash-resistant supporting structure, and more easily calculates the quantity of the supporting area 114 in the blank panel 100, also easily liquid container 102 is put on the base plate 104.

Lattice shape base plate 104 also has some poles 150,152 in length and breadth, respectively on whole length of base plate and width, and in the ranks the stretching anyhow of circular piece 148 (discontinuous).So radial pins 149 reaches these anyhow on the pole, or passes in the above.On the point of crossing of pole 150,152 anyhow, have less circular piece 154 to form, be in the square center that big circular piece 148 forms, for example from Fig. 2 and 3 as seen.Central longitudinal pole 150 is arranged by except that center small circular part 156(Fig. 2 in an interesting pattern) whole small circular parts 154, center cross support arm 152 is by the center of the whole small circular parts 154 except that center small circular 156, and remaining small circular part 154 is opened wide fully.

In an ideal design of the present invention, each on the base plate lower surface 116 is held district 118, and a recess that makes progress is arranged, and wherein holds the top of one deck liquid container 102 in the pallet 120 below the base plate 104.Give an example as Fig. 3 in this recessed district that holds, shown in 7 and 13, and can be by among Figure 14 top and right-hand two jars of comparisons of two jars in lower left being understood.Each recess 158 simply forms, be lower surface, from closely spaced position 158(Fig. 3 and 7 being arranged with big circular piece 148 in radial pins 149), tilt to reach adjacent big circular piece, and inclination reaches position 160(Fig. 3 that spacing is arranged with circular piece 154,6 and 12) on.Being familiar with this area person can recognize, with base plate lower surface 116 keep on thereunder the following container top any similar, prevent the structure that is free to slide, all within the scope of the present invention.

From the end and the avris of pallet 100, can see zone and the base plate 104 and the fence 106 formation open airs 162 of 108 of adjacent upright posts.This design is lacked than the plastics that closely knit design needs, and is therefore lighter, inexpensive and more attractive in appearance.And its interior liquid container 102 can be known see, especially in the time will loading entirely as shown in figure 14 or partly cargo-carring pallet stacks mutually.

In another design of the present invention, use the base arrangement of " closely knit ", need not penetrating screen work design-calculated pallet 100.The integral body of the pallet of 200 total expressions wherein has some recesses 202 to form on base plate 204 upper surfaces among closely knit design such as Figure 15, wherein holds the lower edge of fluid container or metallic beverage can 206.When overlooking, as shown in figure 16, there are some rings to form.See that from side direction shown in Figure 18 and 19 periphery of base plate 204 is similar to the configuration of the base plate 104 of pallet 100, a series of arcuate surfaces 210 are arranged.The lower surface circular depressions 216 of base plate 204 forms in the above, shown in Figure 17 and 22, the upper limb that wherein holds jar 206 is in case on the top laden pallet 200 similar laden pallet below, be free to slide on the pallet shown in Figure 25 medium size 218.Inclined pillar stand 224 is arranged between the pallet 200, form outside groove 226.Though pallet 200 without any the pillar on the angle, is provided with in Figure 15 scheme similar to Fig. 1, this pillar also belongs to scope of the present invention.

The pallet 300 that Figure 26-30 generally shows is

pallets

100 and 200 mix.The sash shape base plate 302 of pallet 100 and similar pallet 200 is arranged, do not have corner posts.Similar to pallet 100 and 200, fence 304 and inclined pillar stand 306 are arranged, form outside holding tank 308.Therefore for example as the pallet among Figure 26 300, the arrangement of the package of plastic sheeting or plastic jacket (or with) put jar or similar container can be diffused in the inside, for example use 4 * 6 to arrange, even maintenance is stablized in general relevant with transportation and carrying moving, and prevents mutual friction.Pallet 300 can be stablized stacking mutually after loading, can understand from Figure 25.The blank panel of pallet 300 intussusception is mutually done collection or transportation, and is similar to

pallet

100 and 200, and when intussusception was placed, each blank panel 300 only increased the height of a narrow fence in folded.

Universal of the present invention is easy to adopt when other containers of carrying different size and shape.One is used for two liters of PET bottles for example shown in Figure 31 to Figure 43, such as 400 among Figure 38, illustrates two embodiments, first scheme in Figure 31 to 38 with 402 total expressions, alternative plan in Figure 39 to 43 with 404 total expressions.Unique difference between the two is that corner posts 406 is arranged in the scheme of Figure 31.For the overhanging supporting area bight of base plate 407, pillar 406 has similar outer supporting role.

Separate pole 408,409 in length and breadth and on base plate 407, stretch in length and breadth, each supporting area 410 is separated mutually, bottle 400 is remained on its position, prevent to topple over.Three longitudinal holding pole 408 height of laterally separating 409 to one of poles.Than can pallet 100,200,300 is important to plastic bottle 400 for this holding function, because high soft bottle 400 topples over when stacking, more easily deformable.Pallet among Figure 31 to 43 (or carrier) 402,404, eight bottles 400 of design carrying.Certainly change the size of pallet 402,404, carry more or less bottle, or the size difference of bottle, all belong in the scope of the invention.

Circular recess is arranged on the pallet lower surface 411, shown in Figure 37 and 38 concave districts 412, wherein put lid 414 with the bottle 400 in numbers 416 total following pallets of representing.Can prevent the pallet 402 after the top loading like this, be free to slide along the top of bottle in the following pallet 416, and make down the bottle in the pallet 416 be difficult for toppling over.In the intussusception of blank panel was arranged, top tray was enclosed within play in the pallet, thus the fence bead 418 of pallet down, in the above the fence 420 of pallet below, Figure 37 demonstration is the most clear.Can understand from Figure 31 and 39, between adjacent upright posts 422, or between principal post 422 and the adjacent upright posts 406, and the zone between base plate 408 and the fence 402 etc., form open air 424, in order that top to pallet 100,200 and 300 reasons of being discussed, and make bottle be easy to see from the outside.Can debate the type of other bottle like this, and know at once easily whether pallet is filled.

Any pallet 100,200,300,402 or 404 column can press all that one of two methods are understood or narration.One of method be column only from the lower surface of base plate, reach the lower edge of fence, very easily understand from lateral plan, especially when the time the blank panel intussusception.Like this, fence links up around the periphery of dish, and surrounds the last extending part of column groove.Other method is to make column reach the top of fence from the inboard of pallet always, or reaches bead, such as the transparent view from blank panel, can more easily understand.Under one situation of back, fence can be thought of as plurality of sections, stretches between adjacent column.All define a kind of robust and compact pallet of making and using inexpensive improvement with arbitrary method.This pallet is easy to go deep into mutually intussusception when vacant, and the operation or the change of direction of working as without any discomfort.Have attractive in appearance and design that open wide, more fully the container in the display tray.

Be described in detail obviously as seen from above, the present invention is had many changes, modification or change all belong to the professional range of understanding this area person.But the applicant applies for whole not breaking away from the modification of spirit of the present invention, all considers only to belong to be added in the invention scope of restriction with the claim behind the literary composition.
