Definitions
- the invention relates to a beverage crate for selectively transporting different sized bottle carriers with bottles contained therein and of individual bottles.
- Beverage crates are used for transporting filled bottles from the beverage manufacturer via the trade to the consumer and for the return transport of the empties.
- the filled bottles can be used individually or in several bottle carriers ("Multipack") in beverage crates.
- 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.
- the emptied bottles are usually used individually for the return transport without bottle carrier in beverage crates. But it is also possible that empties placed in bottle carrier of the basket type for the return transport in beverage crates to place.
- Beverage crates which are intended solely for the transport of individual bottles as full and empties, have a variety of compartments, in which the bottles are used.
- the compartments are delimited by a plurality of longitudinally and transversely extending Gefachrome crossing each other. such Crates are not suitable for inserting bottle carriers with bottles contained therein.
- casket type bottle crate beverage containers which have rows of equally spaced sleeves. These engage at the end faces of two side by side arranged bottle carrier of cuff type in the edge portions of the two adjacent bottoms of both bottle carrier.
- the bottoms of the bottle carrier are formed at the edges with cutouts for receiving a half quill. From the bottom wall of the beverage crate, in the middle between adjacent rows of quills, provides a skirting wall which abuts the sides of the sleeve-like bottle carriers or individually inserted bottles.
- Pinoschuggen are only suitable for receiving a particular bottle carrier type with a specific format. It is not possible to put in a lock box, which is suitable for holding bottle carriers for 6 bottles ("Sixpacks") is determined to use a bottle carrier with 8 or 10 bottles. The insertion of smaller bottle carriers is possible.
- the WO 2010/055204 A1 describes a plate-shaped carrier for bottles, can be placed on the optional bottle carrier with 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 bottles.
- the DE 20 2010 014 919 U1 describes a beverage crate for selectively transporting individual bottles and bottle carriers of different sizes with bottles contained therein with a bottom wall and walls protruding from the edges of the bottom wall having openings.
- the bottom wall has on top of a storage area for placing the bottoms of individual bottles and / or bottle carriers, which has at least four rows of spaces for bottles, in each of which at least 5 spaces for bottles are available. Between the plots are support elements for supporting individual bottles and bottle carriers.
- a quill In the middle of four locations for bottles at three corners of the bottom wall, a quill is arranged and in the middle of four places for bottles on another corner of the bottom wall, a half-quill is arranged, which has a flat side, the quill at the same Narrow side facing the bottom wall.
- a quill In addition to the two quills on a narrow side in the direction of the rows of parking spaces in the middle between the next four pitches Halbpinolen available, which are facing with a flat side of the quills at the corners of the narrow side.
- In the middle between the two central rows of parking spaces there are projections on the ground, which have at most the height of supporting sleepers.
- a row with further projections which each extend between four bottle storage spaces at most up to the level of supporting sleepers.
- the underside of the floor has stiffening elements.
- This bottle crate is suitable to accommodate bottle carriers for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 bottles. Furthermore, it is suitable for inserting individual bottles. However, if individual bottles are used, they can easily fall over. This is especially true in the event that the bottle crate is not fully stocked with individual bottles, as individual bottles can tip over into the gaps over the unoccupied parking spaces. Contact between individual bottles made of glass can lead to increased noise. Furthermore, the ribs to stabilize the soil require increased use of material.
- the invention has for its object to provide a beverage crate, in which either different sized bottle carrier with bottles contained therein and individual bottles are used, with individual bottles used are better secured against tipping over and the noise during transport is reduced.
- first and second flat quills favors the optional applicability of bottle carriers of different sizes with bottles contained therein and of individual bottles.
- the Flachpinolen act together with the Vollpinolen and / or Halbpinolen and / or Flachpinolen and the side walls against tipping individual bottles in the beverage box.
- 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 improved lateral support of the individual bottles of contact between adjacent bottles prevented and thus reduces the noise level when transporting the beverage box.
- the beverage crate 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 beverage box referred to upstanding pins, which have substantially the shape of an elongated plate or a strip.
- 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.
- the term "Halbpinolen” are referred to in this patent application from the bottom wall combinstende pins, which have 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.
- 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 counteract a tilting of two individual bottles to each other, 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 beverage crate 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 quills and / or one upstanding from the bottom wall in the direction perpendicular to the rows of parking spaces extending second support wall in the middle between the second and the third parking spaces each row with a extending between the two second Flachpinolen central part and extending between the second Flachpinolen and the side walls 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 dimensioned stiffening elements than in conventional beverage crates. 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 diamond-shaped cross-section and the half-quills a cross-section with the shape of a half diamond, wherein the first diagonal of the diamonds is aligned parallel to the rows of parking spaces and the second diagonal of the diamonds perpendicular thereto.
- the full quills and Halbpinolen form support surfaces, which are each aligned on an adjacent parking space. As a result, the lateral support of individual bottles is improved.
- the full quills and half quill have curved support surfaces, each facing an adjacent parking space and have a corresponding contour as the parking space.
- a particularly good lateral support of individual bottles is achieved on the parking spaces.
- full quills with a diamond-shaped cross-section and 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.
- the stability of the bottom wall in the most heavily loaded central area is particularly increased.
- the height of the first support wall increases starting from the middle between the two central flat quillons to the adjacent first flat quillols.
- 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. Further, it 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 beverage box. 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.
- a full quill is arranged in the middle of four slots for bottles at three corners in the bottom wall and arranged in the middle of four pitches for bottles at another corner of the bottom wall Halbpinole having a flat Halbpinolenseite that of the full quill is facing on the same narrow side of the bottom wall, wherein between these narrow side and the second Flachpinolen in the direction of the rows of parking spaces each two parking spaces are arranged.
- the bottles are best supported on the four pitches next to the corners of the bottom wall by three Vollpinolen and a Halbpinole, the Halbpinole the insertion of a six bottles bottle carrier with orientation transverse to the rows of pitches next to the flat Halbpinolenseite the Halbpinole allows.
- a bottle carrier containing eight bottles or two bottle carriers containing four bottles can be placed on this area.
- full quillins are arranged on a narrow side of the bottom wall in the middle of four spaces for bottles at both corners and arranged in the direction of rows with parking spaces in the middle between the next four pitches Halbpinolen, with their flat Halbpinolenseite the Vollpinolen to the Corners of the narrow side are facing, wherein between the narrow side and the second Flachpinolen in the direction of the rows of parking spaces each three parking spaces are available.
- This embodiment allows the insertion of a bottle carrier containing eight bottles in alignment perpendicular to the rows of parking spaces next to the flat side of the two half-pegs.
- two bottle bottles containing four bottles can be placed on this area.
- a six bottles containing bottle carrier can be placed in the direction parallel to the rows of parking spaces on the areas of the bottom wall, which are separated from each other by the two half first Flachpinolen and another first Flachpinole.
- the pitches are each arranged between sleeves or between sleeves and a side wall or between side walls and a quill.
- the positions of the pitches are defined only by these limits and the bottom wall between the sleeves is flat.
- the parking spaces limiting enclosures are also present at the top of the bottom wall for lateral support of individual bottles on the outer edge of the bottle bottom. These enclosures preferably have a height that corresponds approximately to the height of the bottle bottom or a radius at the bottom of the bottle. Together with the sleeves or Sidewalls counter the borders in addition to tipping individual bottles in the beverage crate. The beverage box with the bezels therefore prevents particularly effective tipping over of bottles and the contact between adjacent bottles.
- the parking spaces are each circular. Accordingly, the bezels are preferably circular.
- the enclosures are the cylinder wall surfaces of cylindrical depressions in the bearing surface of the bottom wall.
- the parking spaces are formed by the bases of the cylindrical recesses.
- the cylinder wall surfaces of the cylindrical recesses support the bottles in the bottom area laterally. Between the cylindrical wells bottle carrier can be placed with their bottoms on the bearing surface.
- the enclosures have a height of 1 mm to 3 mm, preferably of about 2 mm. This configuration prevents bottles deposited in bottle carriers on the borders from being forced through the bottoms of the bottle carriers or bulging the floors. Nevertheless, the bezels are high enough to support individual bottles used laterally sufficient.
- opposite side walls have wall openings and the lower edges of the openings on the inside of the side walls chamfering surfaces, the distance increases from each other with increasing distance from the bottom wall.
- the Beschrägungs vom lead the bottle carrier when inserting into the crate so that they arrive trouble-free on their intended places on the storage area.
- the chamfering surfaces have an angle of inclination of 20 ° to 40 °, preferably of about 30 ° to the vertical.
- the bottle crate on the underside of the bottom wall with respect to the side walls inwardly staggered baseboards with which the box is inserted into the upper opening of a similar box when the box with laterally over the baseboards projecting areas of the bottom on the upper Edge of the side walls of the similar box is placed.
- the baseboards facilitate the erection of stable stacks of beverage crates according to the invention. In addition, they contribute to the stabilization of the bottle crate.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Getränkekasten zum wahlweisen Transportieren von verschiedengroßen Flaschenträgern mit darin enthaltenen Flaschen und von einzelnen Flaschen.The invention relates to a beverage crate for selectively transporting different sized bottle carriers with bottles contained therein and of individual bottles.
Getränkekästen werden zum Transportieren befüllter Flaschen vom Getränkehersteller über den Handel zum Verbraucher und zum Rücktransport des Leerguts benutzt. Die befüllten Flaschen können einzeln oder zu mehreren in Flaschenträgern ("Multipack") in Getränkekästen eingesetzt werden. Die Flaschenträger können als Körbchen ("Basket") ausgeführt sein, die Gefache aufweisen, aus denen die Flaschenhälse der eingesetzten Flaschen oben herausragen. Gegebenenfalls weist das Körbchen eine Entnahmesicherung in Form eines von den Flaschenhälsen durchgriffenen Deckels auf, der die Flaschen im Träger sichert. Ferner sind Flaschenträger in Form von Manschetten ("Wrap") bekannt, die um eine Flaschengruppe gehüllt sind, um diese zusammenzufassen. Zudem sind Flaschenträger in Form von Schrumpffolien bekannt ("Sleeve"), die eine Gruppe Flaschen umhüllen. Die Schrumpffolien werden als Schlauch über die Gruppe Flaschen gezogen, geschnitten und in einem Schrumpftunnel unter Wärmeeinwirkung geschrumpft, sodass sie sich eng an die Flaschen anlegen.Beverage crates are used for transporting filled bottles from the beverage manufacturer via the trade to the consumer and for the return transport of the empties. The filled bottles can be used individually or in several bottle carriers ("Multipack") in beverage crates. The bottle carrier can be designed as a basket ("Basket"), which have compartments from which protrude the bottlenecks of the bottles used above. Optionally, the basket has a removal safeguard in the form of a gripped by the bottle necks lid, which secures the bottles in the carrier. Furthermore, bottle carriers in the form of "wrap" are known, which are wrapped around a group of bottles to summarize them. In addition, 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.
Die entleerten Flaschen werden in der Regel für den Rücktransport ohne Flaschenträger einzeln in Getränkekästen eingesetzt. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass Leergut in Flaschenträger vom Körbchentyp eingesetzt für den Rücktransport in Getränkekästen zu platzieren.The emptied bottles are usually used individually for the return transport without bottle carrier in beverage crates. But it is also possible that empties placed in bottle carrier of the basket type for the return transport in beverage crates to place.
Getränkekästen, die ausschließlich für den Transport einzelner Flaschen als Vollgut und Leergut bestimmt sind, weisen eine Vielzahl Gefache auf, in die die Flaschen eingesetzt sind. Die Gefache sind durch eine Vielzahl in Längs- und Querrichtung verlaufende, einander kreuzende Gefachwände abgegrenzt. Derartige Getränkekästen sind zum Einsetzen von Flaschenträgern mit darin enthaltenen Flaschen nicht geeignet.Beverage crates, which are intended solely for the transport of individual bottles as full and empties, have a variety of compartments, in which the bottles are used. The compartments are delimited by a plurality of longitudinally and transversely extending Gefachwände crossing each other. such Crates are not suitable for inserting bottle carriers with bottles contained therein.
Für Flaschenträger mit darin enthaltenen Flaschen gibt es sogenannte "Pinolenkästen". Pinolenkästen haben vom Boden vorstehende, als "Pinolen" bezeichnete Zapfen. Zwischen jeweils vier Stellplätzen für Flaschen ist eine Pinole angeordnet. Jede Pinole hat meistens einen etwa rautenförmigen Querschnitt, wobei die Seitenflächen in Anpassung an den Umfang einer Flasche leicht gewölbt sind. Die Flaschenträger haben einen Boden, der zwischen jeweils vier Flaschen im Flaschenträger eine Ausstanzung oder Schlitze zur Aufnahme einer Pinole aufweist. Bekannt sind Pinolenkästen für körbchenförmige Flaschenträger, bei denen um eine Pinole oder eine Reihe Pinolen angeordnete Stellplätze für Flaschen durch Stützwände eingefasst sind, die vom Boden des Getränkekastens hochstehen bzw. von Seitenwänden des Pinolenkastens gebildet sind. Gemeinsam mit den Stützwänden stützen die Pinolen Flaschenträger bzw. die Flaschen seitlich ab.For bottle carriers with bottles contained therein, there are so-called "Pinolenkästen". Quill boxes have spigots protruding from the bottom, called "quills". Between each four spaces for bottles a quill is arranged. Each quill usually has a roughly diamond-shaped cross section, the side surfaces are slightly curved in adaptation to the circumference of a bottle. The bottle carrier have a bottom which has a punched hole or slots for receiving a sleeve between each four bottles in the bottle carrier. Are known Pinolenkästen for cup-shaped bottle carrier in which arranged around a quill or a series of quills pens for bottles are bordered by retaining walls which rise from the bottom of the beverage box and are formed by side walls of the quill box. Together with the support walls, the quills support bottle carriers or the bottles from the side.
Ferner sind Getränkekästen für Flaschenträger vom Manschettentyp bekannt, die in Reihen in gleichmäßigen Abständen von einander angeordnete Pinolen aufweisen. Diese greifen an den Stirnseiten zweier nebeneinander angeordneter Flaschenträger vom Manschettentyp in die Randabschnitte der beiden benachbarten Böden beider Flaschenträger ein. Hierfür sind die Böden der Flaschenträger an den Rändern mit Ausstanzungen zur Aufnahme einer halben Pinole ausgebildet. Von der Bodenwand des Getränkekastens sieht in der Mitte zwischen benachbarten Reihen aus Pinolen eine Einfassungswand vor, die an den Seiten der manschettenartigen Flaschenträger oder einzeln eingesetzter Flaschen anliegt.Further, casket type bottle crate beverage containers are known which have rows of equally spaced sleeves. These engage at the end faces of two side by side arranged bottle carrier of cuff type in the edge portions of the two adjacent bottoms of both bottle carrier. For this purpose, the bottoms of the bottle carrier are formed at the edges with cutouts for receiving a half quill. From the bottom wall of the beverage crate, in the middle between adjacent rows of quills, provides a skirting wall which abuts the sides of the sleeve-like bottle carriers or individually inserted bottles.
Die bekannten Pinolenkästen sind jeweils nur für die Aufnahme eines bestimmten Flaschenträgertyps mit einem bestimmten Format geeignet. Es ist nicht möglich, in einen Pinolenkasten, der für die Aufnahme von Flaschenträgern für 6 Flaschen ("Sixpacks") bestimmt ist, einen Flaschenträger mit 8 oder 10 Flaschen einzusetzen. Das Einsetzen von kleineren Flaschenträgern ist möglich.The well-known Pinolenkästen are only suitable for receiving a particular bottle carrier type with a specific format. It is not possible to put in a lock box, which is suitable for holding bottle carriers for 6 bottles ("Sixpacks") is determined to use a bottle carrier with 8 or 10 bottles. The insertion of smaller bottle carriers is possible.

Dieser Flaschenkasten ist geeignet, Flaschenträger für 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 und 12 Flaschen aufzunehmen. Ferner ist er für das Einsetzen einzelner Flaschen geeignet. Falls einzelne Flaschen eingesetzt sind, können diese jedoch leicht umfallen. Dies gilt insbesondere für den Fall, dass der Flaschenkasten nicht vollständig mit einzelnen Flaschen bestückt ist, da einzelne Flaschen in die Lücken über den unbesetzten Stellplätzen kippen können. Durch Kontakt zwischen einzelnen Flaschen aus Glas kann es zu einer erhöhten Geräuschentwicklung kommen. Ferner erfordern die Rippen zur Stabilisierung des Bodens einen erhöhten Materialeinsatz.This bottle crate is suitable to accommodate bottle carriers for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 bottles. Furthermore, it is suitable for inserting individual bottles. However, if individual bottles are used, they can easily fall over. This is especially true in the event that the bottle crate is not fully stocked with individual bottles, as individual bottles can tip over into the gaps over the unoccupied parking spaces. Contact between individual bottles made of glass can lead to increased noise. Furthermore, the ribs to stabilize the soil require increased use of material.
Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Getränkekasten zu schaffen, in den wahlweise verschieden große Flaschenträger mit darin enthaltenen Flaschen und einzelne Flaschen einsetzbar sind, wobei eingesetzte einzelne Flaschen besser gegen Umkippen gesichert sind und die Geräuschentwicklung beim Transport reduziert wird.On this basis, the invention has for its object to provide a beverage crate, in which either different sized bottle carrier with bottles contained therein and individual bottles are used, with individual bottles used are better secured against tipping over and the noise during transport is reduced.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Getränkekasten begünstigt der Einsatz und die Anordnung von ersten und zweiten Flachpinolen die wahlweise Einsetzbarkeit von verschieden großen Flaschenträgern mit darin enthaltenen Flaschen sowie von einzelnen Flaschen. Ferner wirken die Flachpinolen gemeinsam mit den Vollpinolen und/oder Halbpinolen und/oder Flachpinolen und den Seitenwänden einem Umkippen einzelner Flaschen im Getränkekasten entgegen. Das Umkippen einzelner Flaschen wird auch dann wirksam verhindert, wenn einzelne Flaschen nur auf einen Teil der Stellplätze aufgesetzt sind und ein anderer Teil der Stellplätze unbesetzt ist. Zusätzlich wird durch die verbesserte seitliche Abstützung der einzelnen Flaschen der Kontakt zwischen benachbarten Flaschen unterbunden und damit der Geräuschpegel beim Transportieren des Getränkekastens reduziert. Der Getränkekasten ist für das Einsetzen von Flaschenträgern vom Körbchentyp, Manschettentyp und vom Schrumpffolientyp geeignet. Die Pinolen können in Löcher bzw. Schlitze an der Unterseite der Flaschenträger eingreifen oder diese beim Einsetzen eines des Flaschenträgers selber erzeugen, insbesondere beim Schrumpffolientyp.In the beverage crate according to the invention, the use and the arrangement of first and second flat quills favors the optional applicability of bottle carriers of different sizes with bottles contained therein and of individual bottles. Furthermore, the Flachpinolen act together with the Vollpinolen and / or Halbpinolen and / or Flachpinolen and the side walls against tipping individual bottles in the beverage box. 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. In addition, the improved lateral support of the individual bottles of contact between adjacent bottles prevented and thus reduces the noise level when transporting the beverage box. The beverage crate 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.

Mit dem Begriff "Vollpinole" sind von der Bodenwand hochstehende Zapfen bezeichnet, deren Querschnitte in Richtung zweier zueinander senkrechter Achsen übereinstimmende oder im Wesentlichen übereinstimmende Abmessungen aufweisen. Vollpinolen haben beispielsweise einen im Wesentlichen rautenförmigen oder kreisrunden Querschnitt. Flachpinolen und Vollpinolen sind jeweils mit dem Zentrum Ihres Querschnittes in der Mitte einer Gruppe aus vier Stellplätzen angeordnet. Mit "halber Flachpinole" sind in dieser Anmeldung Flachpinolen bezeichnet, die nur den halben Querschnitt einer Flachpinole haben. Halbe Flachpinolen sind jeweils mit einem seitlichen Rand ihres Querschnittes in der Mitte einer Gruppe aus vier Stellplätzen angeordnet. Mit dem Begriff "Halbpinolen" sind in dieser Patentanmeldung von der Bodenwand hochstende Zapfen bezeichnet, die den halben Querschnitt einer Vollpinole haben. Halbpinolen sind jeweils mit der Mitte ihrer Seite, die der vertikalen Mittelebene einer Vollpinole entspricht, in der Mitte einer Gruppe aus vier Stellplätzen angeordnet.In this patent application, the term "flat quill" from the bottom wall of the beverage box referred to upstanding pins, which have substantially the shape of an elongated plate or a strip. By the term "full quill" from the bottom wall upstanding pins are referred to, 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. In this application, "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. The term "Halbpinolen" are referred to in this patent application from the bottom wall hochstende pins, which have 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.
Die Vollpinolen, Halbpinolen und Flachpinolen werden in dieser Anmeldung zusammenfassend auch als "Pinolen" bezeichnet.The full quills, half quillins and flat quills are collectively referred to in this application as "quills".
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung weisen die Flachpinolen einen streifenförmigen Grundkörper mit den in Längsrichtung erstreckten Rippen auf beiden Seiten in der Mitte zwischen vier benachbarten Stellplätzen auf. Die Rippen erhöhen die Stabilität der Flachpinolen und wirken einem Kippen zweier einzelner Flaschen aufeinander zu entgegen, die auf zwei benachbarten Stellplätzen neben derselben Flachseite der Flachpinole angeordnet sind. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung weisen die Flachpinolen an den seitlichen Rändern des Grundkörpers in Längsrichtung erstreckte Verdickungen auf. Die Verdickungen bewirken ebenfalls die Stabilität der Flachpinolen und wirken einem Kippen zweier einzelner Flaschen aufeinander zu entgegen, die auf benachbarten Stellplätzen auf verschiedenen Flachseiten der Flachpinolen angeordnet sind.According to one embodiment, the flat quills on a strip-shaped body with the longitudinally extending ribs on both sides in the middle between four adjacent parking spaces. The ribs increase the stability of the Flachpinolen and counteract a tilting of two individual bottles to each other, which are arranged on two adjacent parking spaces next to the same flat side of the Flachpinole. According to a further embodiment, 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.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung weist der Getränkekasten eine von der Bodenwand vorstehende, sich in Richtung der Reihen erstreckende erste Stützwand in der Mitte der zwei zentralen Reihen mit Stellplätzen zwischen den beiden zentralen ersten Flachpinolen und/oder eine von der Bodenwand hochstehende, sich in Richtung senkrecht zu den Reihen mit Stellplätzen erstreckende zweite Stützwand in der Mitte zwischen den zweiten und den dritten Stellplätzen jeder Reihe mit einem sich zwischen den beiden zweiten Flachpinolen erstreckenden Mittelteil und sich zwischen den zweiten Flachpinolen und den Seitenwänden erstreckenden Seitenteil auf.According to a further embodiment, the beverage crate 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 quills and / or one upstanding from the bottom wall in the direction perpendicular to the rows of parking spaces extending second support wall in the middle between the second and the third parking spaces each row with a extending between the two second Flachpinolen central part and extending between the second Flachpinolen and the side walls side part.
Die erste Stützwand und/oder die zweite Stützwand stabilisieren unter vergleichsweise geringem Materialeinsatz den Boden. Infolgedessen kann die Unterseite der Bodenwand ohne Versteifungselement oder mit weniger oder kleiner bemessenen Versteifungselementen als bei herkömmlichen Getränkekästen ausgebildet werden. Hierdurch kann Material eingespart werden. Zudem trägt die erste und/oder die zweite Stützwand dazu bei, einzelne Flaschen gegen Umkippen zu sichern und Kontakt zwischen benachbarten Flaschen sowie Geräuschentwicklung zu vermeiden.The first support wall and / or the second support wall stabilize the ground with comparatively little use of material. As a result, the underside of the bottom wall can be formed without a stiffening element or with less or smaller dimensioned stiffening elements than in conventional beverage crates. This material can be saved. In addition, the first and / or the second support wall helps to protect individual bottles against tipping and to avoid contact between adjacent bottles and noise.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung weisen die Vollpinolen einen rautenförmigen Querschnitt und die Halbpinolen einen Querschnitt mit der Form einer halben Raute auf, wobei die erste Diagonale der Rauten parallel zu den Reihen mit Stellplätzen und die zweite Diagonale der Rauten senkrecht dazu ausgerichtet ist. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung bilden die Vollpinolen und Halbpinolen Stützflächen, die jeweils auf einem benachbarten Stellplatz ausgerichtet sind. Hierdurch wird die seitliche Abstützung einzelner Flaschen verbessert.According to a further embodiment, the full quills have a diamond-shaped cross-section and the half-quills a cross-section with the shape of a half diamond, wherein the first diagonal of the diamonds is aligned parallel to the rows of parking spaces and the second diagonal of the diamonds perpendicular thereto. In this embodiment, the full quills and Halbpinolen form support surfaces, which are each aligned on an adjacent parking space. As a result, the lateral support of individual bottles is improved.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung haben die Vollpinolen und die Halbpinolen gekrümmte Stützflächen, die jeweils einem benachbarten Stellplatz zugewandt sind und eine entsprechende Kontur wie der Stellplatz aufweisen. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird eine besonders gute seitliche Abstützung einzelner Flaschen auf den Stellplätzen erreicht. Vorzugsweise sind Vollpinolen mit einem rautenförmigen Querschnitt und Halbpinolen mit einem Querschnitt mit der Form einer halben Raute mit den gekrümmten Stützflächen versehen.According to a further embodiment, the full quills and half quill have curved support surfaces, each facing an adjacent parking space and have a corresponding contour as the parking space. By this configuration, a particularly good lateral support of individual bottles is achieved on the parking spaces.
