Carrier for two rows of bottles

The invention relates to a two-row, sleeve-shaped bottle carrier, in particular for bottles with a conical neck portion, having a bottom wall and two side walls and a possibly equipped with inclined walls of the top wall, are provided in the openings for at least partially protrude through the upper bottle ends, and with a additional bottle holder, having a flat, horizontal surface with recesses, in which are able to intervene the bottle necks and arranged in at least a short distance from the top wall.

From FR-A 1470 577, such a two-row bottle carrier with an additional bottle holder is known. However, especially for the packaging and down Fiaschen with conical parts of the neck of this bottle holder is not suitable. A stabilization of the bottle here is also not provided, but the banging the bottle is to be reduced.

The present invention has for its object, in particular bottles with conical neck areas in the sleeve-shaped bottle carriers set so that the bottles can not move.

This object is inventively achieved in that the additional bottle holder for each of the two rows of bottles has a flat, horizontally extending portion which is provided with the openings for the bottle necks.

prevent these recesses in the horizontal surface of the bottle holder that the bottles may move relative to each other in the carrier. Such a relative movement in the direction of the row of bottles would cause falling out of the bottles from the carrying pack. Also, the bottle holder prevents relative movement of the upper bottle ends of the two rows towards each other, as it occurs when improper grasping of the carrier. The occurring due to the bottle shape extreme load on the plug or adhesive closures at the bottom side of the bottle carrier would otherwise lead to its damage.

Assigns the bottle holder according to the invention to approximately semicircular recesses which are arranged on both longitudinal edges of the bottle holder, the advantages previously mentioned can already be achieved with a minimum of material.

In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the bottle holder has an approximately circular-shaped recesses for the passage of the bottle necks, and that at the longitudinal edges of the horizontally extending surfaces by fold lines two side surfaces are hinged, which bear on the inner sides of the side walls of the bottle carrier. The advantage of this design of the bottle holder is primarily at facilitating attachment of the sleeve-shaped bottle carrier. The bottles are reliably held and can not be avoided to run around folding and sealing the bottle carrier blank. The side panels serve to further stabilize and reinforce the packaging.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention can also be provided that the edge of the recesses are arranged retaining tongues, which protrude into the recesses and are supported at the onset of bottles at the closure parts.

The holding tongues, the protrusions located under the bottle head or the bottle cap, z. B. at the bottom of crown corks attack, thus preventing upward movement of the entire bottle holder in the bottle carrier, so this always rests firmly on the bottle.

it is also very advantageous if in the present invention comprises the cover wall two portions which extend obliquely to the center of the bottle carrier toward upward and continue in a likewise two partial walls having handle, these two partial walls of the handle are hinged together and each having a through opening , said of the part wall punched cardboard strips having two sections connected by a fold line, of which one portion extending between the two partial walls of the handle and the other portion is fixed to the other part of the wall.

This bottle carrier is provided with an additional stabilizing handle, which allows a correct wearing of the bottle carrier and also the angle between the two handle-part walls precisely defined, whereby an uncontrolled load of bottles bearing walls and thus the tearing is avoided.

In a double-breasted flat support having a top, consisting of two portions of the top wall to which a formed of two partial walls handle is molded, according to the invention, there is a bottle holder consists of two sections, which are connected via an inverted V-folded mid-section between the two partial walls the handle is folded.

Thus, a further stiffening and stabilization of the bottle carrier is achieved, which is particularly advantageous if it is intended for holding and carrying many and large bottles.

When very low has also proved, if according to the invention of the inverted V-shaped central portion of the bottle holder is provided with cutouts which are arranged at least approximately congruent with the passage openings of the handle.

This makes it possible, when worn to transfer a portion of the bottle weight via the bottle holder and thus to relieve the actual bottle carrier.

Fig. 1 shows a bottle carrier having a top wall 10, the upper inclined walls 11, side walls 12, lower inclined walls 13 and a bottom wall 14. In this bottle carrier a bottle holder 1 is inserted. This has, as shown in Fig. 2, a horizontal surface 2, on the two fold lines 3 and 4 side surfaces 5 and 6 are hinged. In the horizontal surface two recesses 7 are provided, which extend to a small extent even in the lateral faces 5 and 6 in about the fold lines 3 and 4. FIG. Holding tongues 8, which are connected via Anlenklinien 9 with the horizontal surface 2 in combination, partially extend into the recesses. 7 The two side surfaces 5 and 6 are folded in the inserted state of the bottle holder to the fold lines 3 and 4 downward and bear against the inner surfaces of the side walls 12 of the bottle carrier. Bottles 15 are held at their conical parts of the neck in the recesses 7 of the horizontal surface. 2 The holding tongues 8 are bent around the hinge line 9 to about 90 ° upwards and are supported on the underside of the crown corks 16 bottles 15th

Figures 3 and 4 show two further embodiments of bottle holders 20 and 200 are the horizontal surfaces, designated 70 or 700 semi-circular recesses 80 and with retaining tongues.

Fig. Figure 5 shows a bottle carrier having a top wall 100 on which a handle 17 is formed having the shape of an inverted "V". The bottle carrier is further comprised of side walls 120 with upper side wall portions 121 and lower sidewall portions 122 and lower inclined walls 130 and a bottom wall 140. In this bottle carrier a bottle holder 23 is used, which is formed as well as the bottle holder shown in Fig. 2, only the holding tongues were 8 omitted. The two side surfaces 50 and 60 are supported on the insides of the two upper side wall portions 121st

It is also possible to use a bottle holder in such a bottle carrier, as shown in Fig. 5, which, while extending from one side wall to the other, but which does not have side surfaces 50 and 60.

In FIG. 6, a bottle carrier 101 is shown, which is folded from the blank 110 shown in FIGS. 8 and closed at its bottom. At its upper side the bottles support 101 is provided with a handle which is formed from two partial walls 102 and 103 which are connected to one another via a folding line 104 and which are hinged to the adjacent portions of the top wall 100th Below this cover wall, a bottle holder 123 is arranged, which is shown in Fig. 9 lying flat.

In Fig. 7 the design of the handle is particularly clearly visible. To the handle portion wall 103 of a strip of cardboard with two sections is formed 107 and 108, of which the outer section 108 is hinged on the outside of the handle portion wall 102 and glued to it. The section 107 in this case represents a spacer for the two-part handle walls 102 and 103rd

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 10 of the bottle carrier 101 in the same manner configured as shown in Fig. 6. The bottle holders, however, consists of two sections 223, 224, which are connected via a two-walls 225, 226 middle section. This central portion 225, 226 is reversed folded V-shaped and extends between the handle part panels 102, 103. Both walls 225, 226 of this Mitteiabschnittes (not shown) with cutouts provided that are congruent with the passage openings of the handle.
