Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of storage of bottles in a palletizable packaging.
- the invention relates to space-saving storage of champagne bottles in parallelepiped-shaped cartons, in a single layer of bottles and the maintenance of these bottles stored in the carton during transport.
- Champagne or Champagne-type bottles are in a particular way envelopes in revolving glasses around an axis and having a hole for a cork, which are suitable for containing champagne wine.
- the champagne bottles admit an axis of symmetry, and have in consideration of the surface of their section along this axis and perpendicular to this axis, two distinct parts, a first portion of substantially constant section or barrel, and a second portion or neck, whose section is essentially decreasing along the axis to a hole for a stopper, between a section of the neck equal to that of the barrel and a section of the neck equal to that of the hole for the stopper, the neck can be seen as a connecting pipe tightening between the barrel and the hole for the cap of the bottle, whose diameter is smaller than the barrel.
- the section of the barrel farthest from the plug or foot of the bottle is also in contact with a portion usually entering the bottle or sting.
- the invention is suitable for champagne bottles and more generally for bottles having an axis of symmetry.
- the storage of champagne bottles consists in packing them in a minimum volume, in order to reduce the size of the package that contains them or increase the number of bottles in a package of given dimensions. Packing is carried out in a package by a bottle holding means in place, in a stowed position, compatible with the transport of bottles and in particular, avoiding impacts between bottles during this one.
- a palletizable packaging is a packaging whose size is determined not in consideration of the dimensions of the Champagne bottle but in consideration of pallets on which the packages must be stacked without loss of space to be adapted to a type of transport, in particular by truck, by train or plane, to geographical areas.
- first bottle and a second bottle it is possible for a first bottle and a second bottle to be stacked upside down, to slide the second bottle parallel to itself and along the first bottle to a position in which the neck of the bottle first is in contact with the neck of the second in the storage plan. In this position it is possible to bring the axes and bottles together to gain space between the barrels of the bottles. By adapting the sliding of the second bottle to all the space available in the package, it is possible to push this method to the maximum to save space for the storage of bottles.
- the present invention is a device for storing bottles in a palletizable packaging, comprising a package disposed on the faces of a rectangular parallelepiped and comprising bottles each having an axis of symmetry, in which the axis of each bottle is disposed in a plane of the bottles, parallel to a bottom of the package, the bottom being disposed on a first face of the parallelepiped, in which the axes of the bottles are parallel to each other, in which the bottles are oriented head to tail, in wherein the number of bottles is even, the axes of the bottles are inclined with respect to an edge of the package, the edge being disposed on a second face perpendicular to the first face, the axes of the bottles are brought together in the plane of the bottles for storing the bottles in a minimized volume of the package, which includes means for holding the bottles in this volume relative to the packaging and in which the bottles are champagne bottles.
- the holding means is a flap inserted between the bottles
- the flap is all in one with the packaging, pre-cut in this package and raised to be inserted between the bottles remaining attached to said packaging - the flap is inserted between the bottles as a hold, the bottles are stored in a stable position mechanically compared to the packaging
- the holding means is an imprint of the shape of the bottles
- the imprint is a mold of the shape of the bottles
- the mold is all-in-one with the packaging, built into this package
- the holding means is a folding conforming to the shape of the bottles, inserted between the bottles and the packaging
- the packaging and the holding means are made of cardboard
- the holding means is the package itself.
- the invention also relates to a storage method with space saving of two Champagne bottles comprising the following steps:
- the invention also relates to an application of the previous method to the storage of 6 bottles champenoises, in a single layer, in a carton of dimensions 400mm by 400mm by 100mm.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic elevational view of an example of a storage device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the device of Figure 1, wherein the bottles of the latter are not repeated.
- the invention is described in its application to champagne bottles.
- a champagne bottle typically the following: a drum with a diameter of about 87.5 mm and a neck of diameter 30 mm in its narrowest part and 35 mm in its reinforced part by a rim to the right of the hole of the bottle cap; the bottle is 32 cm high with the cap for 30 cm without the cap and the barrel is about 12 cm high, the neck making a difference of 20 cm.
- the ratio of the height along the axis of symmetry of the bottle, the barrel to that of the neck is less than 1 and has the value 0.6. This form factor is typical of a champagne bottle.
- the invention having no effect for drums without neck whose shape factor is infinite, and being inefficient for Bordeaux bottles for which the form factor is greater than 1, this form factor seems to be a criterion of Applicability of the invention to other types of bottles, the value of 1 for the report was / neck seems to be an empirical rule for the field of application of the invention in terms of bottles. However, an experimental set-up will be presented below which will make it easy to determine whether this criterion is relevant and if so, whether the value of 1 of the coefficient is well adapted.
- the choice of a package for exposing the invention is perfectly empirical; the invention always provides space saving on an even number of bottles but this space saving can be fractional, ie less than one bottle.
- the effect of the invention is latent.
- the effect of the invention is revealed in its application to a "standard" cardboard packaging, within the meaning of the present application, whose dimensions are 400 mm by 400 mm by 100 mm, that is to say to say a square-bottomed rectangular carton allowing to fill its interior volume with a single layer of 6 bottles champenoises or on one level for these bottles.
- the bottom of the standard carton has dimensions equal to or close to a sub-multiple of the dimensions of a pallet corresponding to the usual "Europe" format for stacking cartons and whose pallet dimensions are 800 mm by 1200 mm or 1000 mm. by 1200 mm. It is palatable.
- the application of any method of storing bottles to a palletizable bottle storage device requires maintaining this storage by stalling means in a package during transport or pallet stacking.
- the wedging means may be separation wedges made in particular of cardboard, bonded or not to the bottom of the package, or an imprint of the position of the rows of bottles made by molding, bound or not to the bottom, or by folding from a sheet made in particular of cardboard, this impression being disposed between the package and the bottles.
- These shims must be thick enough to avoid shocks between bottles that can break during transport. Bottles separated by these holds will also be considered contiguous within the meaning of the present application.
- the wedging means may alternatively be flaps not secured to the bottom and used as shims, the bottles having a mechanically stable shape; pre-cut flaps in the carton or packaging, so-called “all-in-one" with the packaging, which are therefore integrated into the package; a mold reproducing the shape or impression of the bottles and separate from the cardboard, or a mold made in one face of the package, especially cardboard; a folding able to marry the shape of champagne bottles.
- a first method of storage in a standard carton of bottles champenoises, or basic method, known from the prior art then consists of storing the bottles, ground-level, contiguous, parallel to each other and in the same direction and aligned with the carton , that is to say in directions parallel to the height of the cardboard, the feet of the bottles being, moreover, aligned with each other.
- the number of champagne bottles that the basic storage can reach is equal, if the thickness of the holds is neglected, to the entire part of the storage width divided by the diameter of the drum or of his projection.
- a storage width of 400 mm of the standard carton it is possible to store 4 bottles occupying 34 cm in width.
- a second method of storage consists of storing the bottles in the standard single-storey carton, contiguous, aligned with the cardboard and head-to-tail, that is to say in parallel directions between they are in opposite directions, the neck of one bottle facing the foot of another bottle, side by side, that is to say, beside it, and the axes of bottles situated side by side being brought together to make the bottles contiguous.
- each bottle from the second saves about 1 cm on the basic method and for 4 bottles, it is possible to gain 3 cm to hold 4 bottles in 31 cm over a storage distance of 400 mm and a height of 320 mm, it is thus possible to store theoretically 5 bottles holding in 39.5 cm.
- the need to add spacers between the bottles however makes this possibility impractical 4 shims to make a total of 5 mm, which is too low in practice to protect the bottles.
- a fractional gain for two bottles can immediately be transposed to an even number by multiplying the fractional gain expressed in number of bottles.
- the effect of the invention can be obtained surprisingly and measured by the following simple experimental device: two champagne bottles or two bottles having only one axis of symmetry, are elongated head to tail on a flat bottom with a selected distance between them. feet, and the directions of their drums are made parallel, one of the bottles is then rolled towards the other until touching it without moving it or translated parallel to itself if it does not roll. The two bottles are then sandwiched between two walls parallel to the drums and perpendicular to the flat bottom, without moving them. Finally, the walls are tightened parallel to themselves and if the invention saves space, the bottles move surprisingly relative to each other and tilt relative to the walls. The effect of the invention can then be easily measured as the difference between the distance between the planes just enclosing the bottles and the distance between the planes after tightening the bottles.
- the starting position is that of two bottles champenoises head-to-tail in a carton, the direction of the axes of symmetry of the bottles being parallel to one of the edges of 400 mm of the standard carton, bottles being as close together as possible and the bottles being slid on their axes of symmetry to occupy different heights and the entire width of the carton.
- the head-to-tail position in question is understood by sliding and bringing together two contiguous bottles in positions for which typically, the neck of a bottle is located in projection orthogonal to the axis of the other bottle and on this axis, between the neck and the foot of the other bottle.
- the effect of the invention can be conveniently obtained by tilting the bottles by spreading their necks from one another and bringing the axes of the bottles in the plane of these axes to compact the bottles by enclosing and tightening them. between two planes as indicated in the experimental device previously described. This effect can be measured for different starting distances or offset between the feet of the bottles or base of their drums.
- the latent gain on the head-to-tail method is therefore fully revealed for a carton of 40 cm or standard side for this request, since the method allows to store 6 bottles in 3x12.5 cm or 37.5 cm, which makes it possible to store and maintain easily by shims of 0.5 cm in number of 5 in the remaining 2.5 cm, one bottle more than the head-to-tail method using the full height.
- FIG. 1 is shown by way of non-limiting illustration of the invention, a parallelepipedal carton 10, whose square bottom of 400 mm by 400 mm is referenced 1 1 and whose four edges, perpendicular to the bottom 1 1 and perpendicular two to two, are respectively referenced 12, 13, 14 and 15.
- X26 both parallel to the bottom 1 1 and parallel to each other.
- the barrels and the necks of the bottles 21 to 26 are turned, along the axis of the bottles, towards the opposite edges 12 and 14, while the two other edges 13 and 15 respectively extend along the two end bottles 21 and 26. , all the way up these bottles.
- the axes X21 to X26 are not rigorously parallel to the opposite edges 13 and 15, but are inclined with respect to these edges 13 and 15, forming a non-zero angle ⁇ strictly less than 90 °. which in practice is worth a few degrees.
- each of the axes X21 to X26 forms with the edge 12 or the edge 14 a close angle but different from 90 ° .
- Figure 1 are also reported references H and L which have been defined above, thus applied to the example of bottles 25 and 26 arranged in the carton 10.
- holding means can be envisaged.
- the packaging carton pre-cuts in tongues, making it possible to raise these tongues or flaps to form shims integral with the packaging which can directly position the bottles in the stowed position by the method of the invention. during a manual operation.
- the integrated flaps allow an "all-in-one" configuration in which the invention is integrated with the existing packaging.
- the carton 10 considered above is provided with such cutouts in tongues, as shown in FIG. 2 on which these cutouts, of which there are eight, are referenced 31.
- each of these cuts 31 is made in the bottom 1 1 so as to form a flap 32 which, while remaining integral with the bottom 1 1, can be raised protruding from the bottom, to be interposed as a wedge between two of the bottles 21 to 26 rows in the carton 10, as shown in Figure 1.
- the flaps 32 are not all raised in the same configuration protruding from the bottom 1 1.
- a folding can be performed on an independent piece whose folding crests are not parallel to the edges of the package, that is to say to the walls perpendicular to its bottom, but inclined, from a material as carton, this constitutes a definition of "tilting" for the present application.
- the folding material is sufficiently deformable to be folded and to match the shape of the bottles it receives, a holding means easy to achieve can thus be obtained for the invention.
- the invention is susceptible of industrial application in the field of storage of champagne bottles in a palletizable packaging.
