Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bottle crate made of plastic with corner supports which are connected in the lower area by walls to a lower frame and in the upper area by handle bars to an upper frame.
  • the handle bars or grip edges of bottle crates are traditionally manufactured with a U- or E-shaped profile.
  • the profile legs usually point outwards, but can also be directed inwards in the interest of a box with as smooth a surface as possible.
  • Such ribbing makes the handle bars prone to dirt and is harder to grip than a full profile. Attempts have therefore already been made to fill the opening of a U-profile with lamellas. However, this increases the susceptibility to dirt without significantly improving the grip.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a bottle crate made of plastic which, with high strength and low weight of its profiles, is as smooth as possible, in particular in the grip area, and has no protruding webs.
  • the invention is based on a bottle crate of the type mentioned and is characterized in that the handle bars and / or the walls as a hollow profile closed on three sides with approximately rectangular or square cross-section are formed, the fourth side is closed by a cover plate.
  • hollow profiles have high strength even with small wall thicknesses. Because the hollow profile is initially open on one side, it can be produced in one piece with the bottle crate without injection molding using the injection molding process. Only then is the hollow profile of the cover plate closed, preferably by ultrasonic welding. This enables high strength to be achieved. In addition, the hollow profile is sealed watertight. In addition to ultrasonic welding, the cover plates can also be glued or snapped into place with similar advantages, as well as a combination of the aforementioned types of fastening.
  • the cover plate for the handle bars can preferably be arranged on the upper side thereof.
  • the injection mold is then the easiest.
  • the cover plate for the walls in the lower region of the box is expediently provided on the underside.
  • the cover plates can only be arranged in the area of the handle bars or walls between the corner supports. But there is also the possibility that the cover plates on the top of the handle bars extend into the box corners and preferably meet there with a miter. Such training is particularly suitable if corner supports in the form of hollow columns are used in a known manner. The cover plates then close the hollow columns at their upper end. As a result, the corner pillars can be produced as a continuous hollow profile with simple design of the injection mold, with exact adherence to uniform wall thicknesses.
  • a closed room can also be used for all four box sides.
  • Such a frame can also be designed in a different color to achieve special optical effects and can also be made from a different material than the rest of the box.
  • transverse stiffeners are arranged in the interior of the profile.
  • the cover plates can also be provided with transverse ribs pointing towards the inside of the profile.
  • the cover plates can be provided on both longitudinal edges with insertion ribs pointing towards the inside of the profile, such that the walls of the hollow profile are brought to the correct distance when the cover plates are pressed in.
  • the plastic bottle crate shown schematically in FIG. 1 in the area of a corner, has smooth, high-surface corner pillars 1 with an approximately triangular (or also rectangular) cross section that is rounded toward the inside of the crate.
  • the corner pillars are connected at the top of the box by handle bars 2 which, as the cross-sectional views according to FIGS. 4 to 6 show, have the shape of a U open at the top in cross section.
  • the box corners are connected by double walls 3, not shown in detail, which can also have the shape of a U open in this case downwards.
  • the handle webs 2 open at the top are closed by means of cover plates 5.
  • the cover plates are preferably permanently and reliably fixed by ultrasonic welding, in such a way that the profile of the handle bars 2 is sealed watertight.
  • the cover plates 5 extend into the box corner and there are mitred against one another.
  • the corner pillars or corner regions 1 can be produced as continuous hollow profiles which, like the handle webs 2, are then closed by means of the cover plates 5 after the injection molding of the box.
  • a closed frame 15 is used in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3, which closes the entire top edge of the box, that is to say both the handle bars 2 and the corner regions 1, at the top.
  • the frame 1 can be made of a different or different colored material than the box. The same applies to the individual cover plates 5.
  • Fig. 4 shows in the form of cross sections in detail how the handle bar 2 and its cover plate 5 are formed.
  • the cover plate 5 is on the top slightly rounded and has longitudinal ribs 6 pointing to the inside of the handle at both edges.
  • beads 7 are also provided to achieve a good and tight ultrasonic welding.
  • the longitudinal ribs 6 press the walls of the handle bar 2 into the correct position after the cover plate 5 has been put on.
  • the waterproof ultrasonic welding is then carried out using known methods and devices.
  • the lower part in Fig. 4 shows the hollow handle bar 2 after welding.
  • the cover plate 5 is provided with transverse ribs 8, as also shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Further transverse ribs (not shown) can also be provided in the interior of the profiles 2 and then also cause stiffening.
  • the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional profile of the handle bar 2 and its cover plate 5 which is modified compared to the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4.
  • the cover plate 5 is again fixed by means of ultrasonic welding.
  • the cover plate 5 is snapped onto the handle bar 2.
  • the longitudinal ribs of the cover plate 5 have thickenings 9 which snap into corresponding grooves 10 on the upper edge of the handle bar 2.
  • 2 small bores can be provided on the underside of the handle bars, which allow any condensation water that may form to run off.
  • the grip bars 2 can be rounded in particular in the grip area on the underside or can be designed in another way to improve the grip.
