DESCRIPTION

Bottle holder.

The invention relates to a bottle holder made of a foldable flat material, especially cardboard.

Cardboard bottle holders are already known in the form of a box that wraps a group of bottles on all sides. These bottle holders are also known to have two contiguous perforated holes in a cover wall, into which a hand can be inserted to carry the bottle holder by a band-shaped handle created between the perforated holes. When using this type of bottle holder there is the disadvantage that the hand can easily touch the upper area of ​​the bottles, where the crown caps are located. In addition, a strong cardboard material must be used so that the handle does not break during transport due to the considerable forces exerted by the filled bottles.

Document US6065590 discloses an article holder having a fastening band on the cover wall, the ends of which reach end walls. The clamp band can be raised above the roof wall, lifting being made difficult due to a flap of the cover wall lying below the clamp band. Furthermore, the lift is limited by the fact that the fastening band rests close to the end walls in the upper zone of the articles. Duplication of the fastening band layer is achieved by means of a reinforcing band folded underneath. From the point of view of manufacturing technique, this is proportionally expensive and causes local accumulations of material that can interfere with the storage of pre-glued scraps.

WO99 / ​​28207A1 shows a similar construction. In this case, however, the clamping section is not reinforced.

US5639017 and 5915546 relate to article carriers with multi-layer tie bands made from overlapping flaps of a cover wall. The clamp bands extend to the end walls and can be raised above the deck walls. The lift is limited by the support of the clamping bands in the upper areas of the articles located on the terminal side.

Document CA1243957A discloses a bottle holder, in which the area of ​​the cover wall is formed by two upper and lower cover wall elements which only partially overlap each other. The lower element of the cover wall has a reinforcing strip that crosses below the central section of the clamping zone. The upper element of the cover wall is limited by the clamping area. As a result of this, the cover wall zone has three layers in the central section of the clamping zone and two layers, in the end sections of the hairpin clamping zone. The cover wall area has only one layer on one side of the clamping area.

Starting from this, the invention aims to create a bottle holder that has more favorable handling characteristics, as well as a holding section with sufficient strength.

The object is achieved by a bottle holder with the characteristics of claim 1. Advantageous configurations of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

The bottle holder according to the invention, made of foldable flat material, especially cardboard, has a cover wall, a bottom wall, side walls, a clamping section that extends transversely above the cover wall and towards two side walls opposite each other, which is delimited on the cover wall and on the side walls by lines of weakness and has a band-shaped central section in the cover wall and two fork-shaped end sections respectively extending from the cover wall to an adjacent side wall and which are joined at the outer ends with the side wall, another cover wall which is arranged below the cover wall and has another band-shaped central section, arranged below the band-shaped central section of the cover wall, so that the band-shaped central section and the other central section in the form of a band can be raised together, the other cover wall carrying coupled on opposite sides to each other side flaps, arranged on the inner sides of the side walls, with which the fork-shaped terminal sections are joined at the ends, the other band-shaped central section presenting two other fork-shaped terminal sections respectively extending from the other cover wall to the adjacent side flap and which are joined by the outer ends of the side flap, respectively presenting the other two side walls, opposite each other, a lower section of the side wall in the shape of a rectangle and an upper section of the side wall in the shape of a trapezoid, the bottom wall being rectangular, the cover wall and the other cover wall having a longitudinal extension somewhat less than that of the bottom wall, the cover wall and the other cover wall being rectangular, the side walls joining each other at the sides of the cover wall and the bottom wall, the other central band-shaped section on the other cover wall being delimited by lines of weakness and the other terminal hairpin-shaped sections on the other cover wall being delimited by lines of weakness.

The fact that the hairpin end sections extend from the roof wall to the adjacent side walls, causes the hairpin end sections to fit into the bracket somewhat in sections.

ES 2 286 166 T3 of bottles when the central band-shaped section is raised. In this case, the fork-shaped end sections can penetrate with their fork arms into the free spaces next to the bottle necks, especially between the adjacent bottle necks. In this way it is possible to widely separate the band-shaped center section of the bottles, whereby the bottles interfere less in gripping the band-shaped center section. Furthermore, by joining the ends of the fork-shaped end sections with the side walls, a favorable weight transmission to the clamping section is achieved, which enables a less strong cardboard material than conventional supports to suffice. of bottles, in which the clamping band is joined at the ends with the cover wall. This makes it possible to use a cardboard material of less grammage or of a less strong quality, as well as saving costs and weight.

In one configuration, the fork-shaped end sections each have two fork arms that can penetrate, for example, the free spaces on both sides of a bottle, the intermediate space between the fork arms accommodating the neck of the bottle. in question. This embodiment is suitable for a bottle holder having several parallel rows transversely to the clamping section with an odd number of bottles respectively. In practice, the use of bottle holders with three bottles per row is very widespread.

In another configuration, the fork-shaped end sections each have three fork arms that can penetrate, for example, the free spaces on both sides of two bottles, the intermediate spaces between the three fork arms accommodating the necks of the cylinders. bottles in question. This configuration is suitable for bottle holders having parallel rows, oriented transversely to the clamping section, with an even number of bottles respectively. An example of this are bottle racks with four bottles per row.

The fork-shaped end sections can basically also have more than three fork arms.

According to one configuration, the lines of weakness in the side walls, which externally delimit the clamping section, end in rounded shapes, bent from the clamping section. This improves the transmission of force between the ends of the clamping section and the side walls and reduces the risk of breaking the ends.

A further cover wall is arranged below the cover wall, which has a further band-shaped central section, delimited by lines of weakness and arranged below the band-shaped central section of the cover wall, so that the central section band-shaped and the other band-shaped center section can be raised together. The two central sections preferably have an essentially congruent configuration. The other central section in the form of a band causes a duplication of the material in the clamping area of ​​the clamping section, which reduces the risk of breakage of the handle and a more comfortable grip of the handle.

According to another configuration, the other band-shaped central section is completely delimited by a line of weakness and is connected to the band-shaped central section. As the clamping section is raised, the other central band-shaped section then separates from the other cover wall and reinforces the clamping section. In the region of the fork-shaped end sections, the load is distributed on the individual fork arms, so that a reinforcement of the clamping section is less significant here.

According to one configuration, in order to more comfortably grip the clamping section, there are on both sides of the central band-shaped section and / or the other central band-shaped section holes drilled for manual gripping. The user can comfortably insert his hand into the drilled holes and after encircling the central band-shaped section or the other central band-shaped section, lift the latter comfortably.

According to one configuration, the band-shaped central section and / or the other band-shaped central section have strips which are arranged longitudinally in the drilled holes and which can be folded underneath the band-shaped central section or the another central section in the form of a band. By means of the strips, the material of the clamping section is reinforced again and the comfort of transport is improved.

According to one configuration, the other cover wall has side flaps attached to one another on opposite sides, which are arranged on the inner sides of the side walls, to which the fork-shaped end sections are joined at the ends.

According to one configuration, on the other cover wall and / or on the side flaps, adjoining the edges of the other cover wall, which are located adjacent to the side walls, with which the sections are joined at the ends. fork-shaped terminals, there are deflection flaps, delimited by lines of weakness and arranged under the fork arms, so that as the central band-shaped section rises, the fork arms are deflected approximately curved by the deflection flaps. The curved deflection makes it possible to achieve a favorable transmission of force in the region of the fork-shaped end sections or these are protected from damage by the upper end regions of the bottles.

IS 2 286 166 T3

According to another configuration, at least the deflection flaps, arranged on the other covering wall, have at least one grooved line oriented transversely to the fork arms. In this way it is achieved in particular that the deflection flaps can be bent smoothly and that the adjacent deflection flaps on the other cover wall and on the side flaps can be deflected from each other when deformed by the fork-shaped end sections.

According to one configuration, the deflection flaps, arranged on the other cover wall, taper towards the side flaps, for example, like arrowheads. The taper has the advantage that the deflection flaps do not block the insertion of bottles through the open side walls. As the diverter strips slightly enter the container, the upper ends of the bottles or bottle caps move along the tapered sides and then lift the diverter strips so that they divert the bottles.

The other band-shaped central section has two other fork-shaped end sections respectively extending from the other cover wall to the adjacent side flap and which are connected at the outer ends to the side flap. In this way it is possible to reinforce the entire fastening section of the roof wall. As the clamping section is raised, the forked end sections are drawn together with the other forked end sections into the free spaces between the bottles or on the sides of the bottles. Both the hairpin end sections and the other hairpin end sections can have two, three or even more hairpin arms.

Intermediate strips remain between the fork-shaped terminal sections and between the other fork-shaped terminal sections there remain other intermediate strips which can be moved out of the plane of the cover wall as the clamping section is raised. In order to prevent this, the other intermediate strips, according to another configuration, have a widening inside the other covering wall, which can be shaped, for example, in the shape of a mushroom. Furthermore, the other intermediate strips are connected with the intermediate strips, especially by gluing. As the clamping section is raised, areas of the other fork arms are drawn above the flares and firmly support the other intermediate strips and thus also the intermediate strips on the cover wall or on the upper sides of the bottles.

In the case of a bottle holder which has rows with an even number of bottles in the transverse direction to the clamping section, the clamping section, when raised, can be inserted with a central fork arm of its end zones in the form fork in the area of ​​separation between the central bottles of both outer rows. According to one configuration, the other band-shaped central section here has band-shaped end sections respectively extending from the other covering wall to the adjacent side flap and which are connected at the outer end to the side flap. If the other band-shaped central section also has other hairpin-shaped end sections, the band-shaped end sections are hairpin center arms of the other hairpin-shaped end sections.

According to another configuration, the cover wall and the other cover wall are connected to each other. The band-shaped center section and the other band-shaped center section are preferably joined to each other. Also, the cover wall and the other cover wall are preferably connected to each other in other areas. These are preferably not connected to each other in the areas of the deflection flaps and the fork-shaped end sections so as not to affect a relative movement of the fork-shaped end sections with respect to the other cover wall. Consequently, the deflection flaps in the side flaps are also preferably not connected to the adjacent side walls. Otherwise, the side flaps can be connected to the side walls. However, the side flaps may also generally not be attached to the adjacent side walls.

The joints are preferably glued joints. These can be made flat, dotted or linear or with any other design considered by a technician. This is valid for all joints on the bottle holder.

According to one configuration, on two mutually opposite side walls there are easy-open strips which are delimited by lines of weakness and which extend approximately as far as the cover wall. By opening the easy-open strips it is possible to free holes for the extraction of the bottles. Since the easy-open strips can be opened roughly like leaf doors, the cover wall is not damaged, so that the clamping section in particular is kept intact. For this reason, the bottle holder can also be used to re-transport empty bottles.

According to one configuration, each easy-open strip has a coupling point close to the roof wall and is delimited by two approximately parallel lines of weakness starting from the coupling point and which are connected to each other at a distance from the roof wall. . The lines of weakness, which delimit the easy-open strips, can coincide, according to another configuration, at a low point of the easy-open strips that forms a short fastening strip. The quick opening of the fastening strips makes it possible to open the quick opening strips. In addition, the fastening strips can form a kind of latch to close the easy-open strips again.

IS 2 286 166 T3

The easy-open strips are preferably arranged on the side walls, arranged on the longitudinal sides of the clamping section, whereby the easy-open strips do not interfere with the fixings of the ends of the clamping sections on the arranged side walls across the clamping section.

According to one configuration, on the cover wall, on the side walls, with which the fork-shaped end sections are attached, on the other cover wall and on the outer flaps there are easy-open upper strips that are delimited to both sides of the fastening section by lines of weakness and extending to the edges of the side walls and side flaps. The easy opening of the upper easy-open strips, preferably from the drilled holes next to the clamping section, makes it possible to open the cover wall to remove bottles from the bottle holder from above or to reinsert them later. It is also possible to combine the top easy-open strips with easy-open strips on the side walls to be able to free large top and side holes in order to insert the bottles.

The bottle holder can be made of one or more pieces of collapsible flat material. This preferably comprises a foldable flat material cutout having a bottom wall, side walls coupled to the longitudinal sides of the bottom wall, a cover wall coupled to the other longitudinal side of one side wall and another cover wall coupled to the other. longitudinal side of another side wall. This bottle holder can be placed around a group of bottles or a group of bottles can be inserted through a front hole of the pre-glued bottle holder in the form of a container.

According to one configuration, the bottom wall and the cover wall have side wall elements attached to the transverse sides which are folded against each other and connected to each other. This makes it possible in particular to manufacture the bottle holder with a cut-out of a foldable flat material piece.

According to one configuration, below the side wall elements are folded side wall flaps, coupled to the transverse sides of the adjacent side walls. In this way the corners between the side walls are closed and the stability of the bottle holder is improved. According to another configuration, the side wall flaps are connected to the side wall elements.

At least two opposite side walls have a rectangular section, which adjoins the bottom wall, and a trapezoidal section that adjoins the cover wall, thus achieving an adaptation of the bottle holder to the essentially cylindrical lower zone and to the zone essentially conical top of the bottles.

According to one configuration, fastening holes are arranged in at least two opposite side walls. Using the holding holes, the user can hold the bottle holder with both hands. This can be desired especially in the case of container holders with a large number of bottles (eg four rows of five bottles). According to another configuration, the clamping holes are arranged in the side walls, to which the fork-shaped end sections are connected at the ends. The clamping holes are arranged on the narrow sides of the container holder, which can facilitate transportation. According to another configuration, the clamping holes are reinforced by the side flaps, for example, when the side flaps end at the upper edges of the clamping holes or when the side flaps have complementary shaped clamping holes. This prevents a breakage of the bottle holder in the area of ​​the clamping holes during transport. In addition, the bottle holder can be transported more comfortably by reinforcing the material in the holding holes. For the same reasons, in the holding holes, according to another configuration, holding strips are arranged which for transport can be unfolded out of the holding holes or folded into them.

Five exemplary embodiments of bottle holders are explained in detail below. In the drawings they show:

Fig. 6 a cut-out of a bottle holder with fork-shaped end sections with three fork arms and clamping holes in the side walls, extended flat in plan view from above.

In the following description of different embodiments, the corresponding construction elements are provided with the same reference numbers, the different configurations being, however, identified by quotation marks.

The cutout 1 'of figure 1 has a bottom wall 2, a side wall 3 coupled to a longitudinal side of the bottom wall 2, a side wall 5 coupled to another longitudinal side of the bottom wall 2 and another wall 6 cover coupled to another longitudinal side of side wall 5.

The side walls 3, 5 each have a lower side wall section 3 ', 5' in the shape of a rectangle and an upper side wall section 3 ", 5" in the shape of a trapezoid. The bottom wall 2, the cover wall 4 and the other cover wall 6 are rectangular, the cover wall 4 and the other cover wall 6 having a longitudinal extension slightly less than that of the bottom wall 2.

Approximately rectangular lower side wall elements 7 ', 7 "are attached to both transverse sides of the bottom wall 2.

To the transverse sides of the cover wall 4 are attached upper side wall elements 8 ', 8 "which are also approximately rectangular.

To the transverse sides of the rectangular sections 3 ', 5' of the side walls 3, 5 are attached lower side wall flaps 9 ', 9 ", 10', 10" which are essentially rectangular in each case.

To the transverse sides of the trapezoidal sections 3 ", 5" of the side walls 3, 5 are attached upper side wall flaps 11 ', 11 ", 12', 12" which are essentially trapezoidal in each case.

Side flaps 13 ', 13 "which are approximately trapezoidal are attached to the transverse sides of the other cover wall 6.

A clamping section 14 is delimited by perforated lines in the cover wall 4 and in the side wall elements 8 ', 8 ". This has a central section 15 in the form of a band, completely arranged in the cover wall 4. Furthermore, the clamping section 14 has fork-shaped end sections 16 ', 16 "each extending through the cover wall 4 and a side wall element 8', 8".

The fork-shaped end sections 16 ', 16 "have two arms 17', 17" or 17 "', 17^IV extending through the cover wall 4 and through one of the two side wall elements 8 ', 8 ". The fork-shaped end sections 16 ', 16 "terminate at the side wall elements 8', 8" a short distance from their point of attachment to the cover wall 4.

The outer perforated lines, which delimit the clamping section 14, end in the rounded shapes 18 ', 18 ", 18"', 18^IV, bent from the clamping section 14, into the side wall elements 8 ', 8 ".

On both sides of the fork-shaped central section 15, the cover wall 4 has perforated holes 19 ', 19 "approximately in the shape of a bowl. The drilled holes 19 ', 19 "are grip holes. In the drilled holes 19 ', 19 "there are strips 20', 20" which are coupled to the longitudinal sides of the band-shaped central section 15 and separated from the remaining cover wall 4 by lines of weakness.

The other cover wall 6 has another central band-shaped section 21 which is delimited by a circumferential line of weakness and runs in the longitudinal direction of the other cover wall 6. On both longitudinal sides of the other central band-shaped section 21, approximately rectangular strips 22 ', 22 "are prepared on the other covering wall by means of weakening lines, which can be pressed by hand, thus releasing other gripping holes that are approximately congruent with the drilled holes 19 ', 19 "and which for simplicity are also identified with 22', 22".

On the other cover wall 6 there are four flaps 23 ', 23 ", 23"', 23^IV deflection plates that are oriented longitudinally and extend relative to the transverse sides of the other cover wall 6. These have in each case two notched lines 24 ', 24 "oriented transversely.

Furthermore, on each side flap 13 ', 13 "there are two flaps 25', 25", 25 "', 25^IV deflection bars which are also oriented longitudinally and which extend with respect to the points of attachment of the side flaps 13 ', 13 "on the other cover wall 6. Each of the flaps 25 ', 25 ", 25"', 25^IV deflection is oriented relative to an adjoining flap 23 ', 23 ", 23"', 23^IV deflection, existing between them a perforated hole 26 ', 26 ", 26"', 26^IVslot-shaped.

IS 2 286 166 T3

On the side walls 3, 5 there are strips 27, 28 that are easy to open, delimited by lines of weakness. The easy-open strips 27, 28 extend downwardly from the point of attachment to the cover wall 4 or the other cover wall and have at the lower end a short tab-shaped fastening strip 29, 30.

From this cutout 1 'a bottle holder can be made and filled with bottles as follows:

The cutout 1 'can be placed around a group of twelve bottles in rows of four, the cover wall 4 being positioned on the other cover wall 6 and the cover wall 4 and the other cover wall 6 being glued together at the area of ​​the band-shaped central section 15 and of the other band-shaped central section 21, arranged below, as well as outside the clamping section 14 and the other flaps 23 ', 23 ", 23"', 2. 3^IV deflection, arranged under the arms 17 ', 17 ", 17"', 17^IV fork.

This gluing can also be carried out previously, the group of bottles can then be inserted through a front hole in the cut-out 1 'in the form of a container.

The bottles rest by their bottoms on the bottom wall 2 and are oriented with their mouths with respect to the cover wall 4.

Then all the side wall flaps 9 ', 9 ", 10', 10", 11 ', 11 ", 12', 12" are folded towards the front holes.

Lastly, the side wall elements 7 ', 7 ", 8', 8" are also folded into the front holes and glued together with the side wall flaps 9 ', 9 "to 12', 12". In this way other side walls are formed.

In this way, the bottle holder is ready and ready for storage and transport. For transport, the user presses the strips 20 ', 20 "or 22', 22" with the fingers of one hand and presses them downwards until they fold under the (other) central sections 15,21 into a band. It then stretches up the (other) central sections 15,21 in the form of a band. In this case, arms 17 'to 17^IV The fork legs are stretched a little by the internal volume of the bottle holder, entering the free spaces between the upper areas of the adjacent bottles. On the transverse sides of the bottle support, three bottles are arranged respectively, the central bottle engaging in each case between the arms 17 ', 17 "or 17"', 17^IV of a fork-shaped end section 16 ', 16 "and the outer bottles being positioned in each case on the outer sides of the arms 17' to 17^IV fork.

The deformation of the fork-shaped end sections 16 ', 16 "is limited by the flaps 23' to 23^IV and 25 'to 25^IV deviation that force the arms 17 'to 17^IV fork to follow a roughly curved path. In this case, the adjacent flaps 23 'to 23^IV and 25 'to 25^IV deviation can deviate from each other respectively due to slots 26 'to 26^IV, configured between these, or to the slotted lines 23 'to 23^IV.

By zone "entry" of the fork-shaped end sections into the inner space of the bottle holder it is possible to widely separate the (other) band-shaped central section 15, 21 from the bottles in such a way that they do not interfere during transportation. Furthermore, a favorable transmission of the force of the clamping section 14 to the other side walls is achieved.

The cutout 1 "of figure 2 has, unlike the cutout of figure 1 ', strips 27', 28 'of easy opening on the side walls 2, 5, which can be easily opened from above and do not have any strips below clamping.

The embodiment of Figure 2 is especially advantageous for long neck bottles. In this case, the parabola-shaped easy-to-open strips 27 ', 28' also achieve sufficient lateral stability after opening, even allowing the transport of reinserted bottles.

Also, the cover wall 4 and the side wall elements 8 ', 8 "have upper strips 31, 32 for easy opening, arranged on both sides of the clamping section 14. These are delimited by perforated lines that externally delimit the perforated holes 19 ', 19 ”and the terminal sections 17' to 17^IV hairpin. In addition, by the side wall elements 8 ', 8 ", from the rounded shapes 18' to 18^IV, straight lines 33 'to 33 run^IV weakening relative to the side edges of the side wall elements 8 ', 8 ".

The other cover wall 6 has four flaps 23 as a feature.^V to 23^VIII which taper in the shape of a mushroom towards the side flaps 13 ', 13 ".

On both sides of the other central section 21 there are other upper strips 34, 35 for easy opening on the other cover wall 6 and on the side flaps 13 ', 13 ". These are delimited by other lines 36 'to 36^IV easy to open that extend from the narrow ends of the rectangular strips 22 ', 22 "to the outer edges of the strips 23^V to 23^VnIdeviation.

IS 2 286 166 T3

Likewise, the other upper strips 34, 35 of easy opening are delimited by other straight lines 37 'to 37^IV of weakening that extend by the side flaps 13 ', 13 "of the flaps 25' to 25^IV deviation from the side edges of the side flaps 13 ', 13 ".

In the case of this cut-out 1 ", the cover wall 4 and the other cover wall 6 are glued to each other in the region of the band-shaped central section 15 and of the other band-shaped central section 21. Furthermore, the upper strips and the other upper strips 31 and 34, as well as 32 and 35 for easy opening are respectively glued to each other.

Also here it is possible to insert a group of bottles through a front hole of the cutout 1 "in the form of a container, lifting the flaps 23^V to 23^VI11 deflection, directed towards the insertion hole, of the inserted bottles as a result of the constriction in case they enter the interior space.

The front holes are then closed in the manner already described.

For transport, the strips 20 ', 20 "or 22', 22" are folded in the manner already described below the central sections 15, 21 and then raised together with them.

To extract the bottles, the upper easy-open strips 31, 32 are torn off together with the other upper easy-open strips 34, 35, glued respectively, from the drilled holes 19 ', 19 ", at least until the lines 33 'to 33^IV and 37 'to 37^IV are separated. The user can fold out the open easy-open strips 31, 32, 34, 35 or even separate the easy-open strips 27 ', 28' from the bottle holder. The bottles can then be conveniently removed from both the top and the side and re-inserted later.

The cutout 1 "'of figure 3 differs from cutout 1' primarily by the configuration of the easy-open strips 27", 28 "on the side walls 3, 5. The easy-open strips 27", 28 "are delimited in each case by a straight line of weakness running between the lower side wall section 3 ', 5' and the upper side wall section 3 ", 5".

The upper easy-open strips 31 ', 32' are delimited at the side wall elements 8 ', 8 "by lines 33^V to 33^VIn of weakening starting from the rounded shapes 18 'to 18^IV and they first run parallel to the edges of the side wall elements 8 ', 8 "and are then bent towards the edges.

The other upper strips 34 ', 35' with easy opening are delimited on the side flaps 13 ', 13 "by straight lines 37^V to 37^VIn of weakening that run with respect to the ends of the side flaps 13 ', 13 ".

The cover wall 4 and the other cover wall 6 are glued together in the area of ​​the central section 15 and the other central wall section 21 and in the area of ​​the upper strips and the other upper strips 31 'and 34 ', as well as 32' and 35 'for easy opening.

For opening, the upper easy-open strips 31 ', 34', 32 ', 35' are torn off from the drilled holes 19 ', 19 ", at least until the lines 33^V to 33^VIn and 37^V to 37^VnI are separated. Afterwards, even the strips 27 ”, 28” with easy opening can be torn off.

Cutout 1^IV of figure 4 differs from cutout 1 'by the fact that the other central section 21 is connected to the other cover wall 6 with two other terminal sections 38', 38 "in the shape of a fork extending to the side flaps. 13 ', 13 ". The other central section 21 and the other fork-shaped terminal sections 38 ', 38 "are essentially congruent with respect to the central section 15 and the fork-shaped terminal sections 16', 16" of the cover wall 4 or of the 8 ', 8 ”side wall elements.

Arms 39 'to 39^IV of hairpin of the perforated lines that delimit the terminal sections 38 ', 38 "in the shape of a hairpin, ending in the lateral flaps 13', 13" in rounded shapes 40 'to 40^IV.

Between arms 17 'to 17^IV Of the hairpin there are intermediate strips 41 ', 41 "which extend from the side wall elements 8', 8" to the cover wall 4.

Between arms 39 'to 39^IV From the hairpin there are other intermediate strips 42 ', 42 "which extend from the side flaps 13', 13" to the other cover wall 6. These have within the other cover wall 6 a mushroom-shaped widening 43 ', 43 "respectively.

On both sides of the other central section 21 are large drilled holes or flaps 22 "', 22^IV.

In the case of a bottle holder, formed from cutout 1^IV, the central sections 15, 21, as well as the fork-shaped end sections 16 ', 38' and 16 ", 38" are glued together. Furthermore, each intermediate strip 41 ', 41 "is glued with another intermediate strip 42', 42".

As the central sections 15, 21 are raised, the fork-shaped end sections 16 ', 38' and 16 ", 38" penetrate into the intermediate zones between the bottles. The outer sections of the terminal sections 38 ', 38 ”in

ES 2 286 166 T3 fork-shaped flaps run over the mushroom-shaped flares 43 ', 43 "and securely hold the other intermediate strips 42', 42" and intermediate strips 41 ', 41 "on the upper sides of the bottles. .

Cutout 1^V of figure 5 has, unlike cutout 1 ', a clamping section 14' with terminal sections 16 "', 16^IV in the shape of a fork, each having three arms 17^V to 17^X fork. The perforated lines, which externally delimit the arms 17^V, 17^VI1, 17^VI11 and 17^X fork, respectively have a rounded shape 18 'to 18^IV.

Furthermore, the other central band-shaped section 21 'has on the other cover wall 6 band-shaped end sections 21 ", 21"' extending to the side flaps 13 ', 13 ". Flaps 23^V to 23^VI11 and 25 'to 25^IVdeviation are made as in the case of cuts 1 "and 1" '.

A bottle holder, formed from cutout 1^V, can accommodate twenty bottles in rows of five. The band-shaped center sections 15 and 21 'are glued together and the arms 17^SAW and 17^IX The hairpins are glued with the end sections 21 ", 21" 'in the form of a band.

For transportation, the strips 20 ', 20 "and 22', 22" are folded down on both sides of the central sections 25, 21 'in the form of a band and are raised together with the central sections 25,21' in the form of a band. band. In this case, the arms 16^In, 16^IV hairpin and band-shaped end sections 21 ", 21" 'penetrate into the free spaces next to both central bottles of the two outer rows of bottles.

The bottle holder clamping section 14 'from cutout 1^IV it is especially protected against breakage due to torsional loads.

Cutout 1^SAW of figure 6 has, unlike cutout 1^V oval holes 44 ', 44 "for fastening in side wall elements 8', 8". In the clamping holes 44 ', 44 "there are respectively clamping strips 45', 45", attached above, that is to say, to the edge of the clamping holes 44 ', 44 ", which is located adjacent to the arms. 17^V to 17^X fork.

The fastening strips 45 ', 45 "respectively have two straight folding lines 46', 47 ', 46", 47 "running from the upper edge to the lower edge of the fastening holes 44', 44" and approaching each other. in this direction. This allows the clamping strips 45 ', 45 ”to fold between the center bottles of the outer rows, the outer sections of the clamping strips being able to rotate inwards when touching the bottle necks and to rotate out from behind. .

Also, cutout 1^V It has the particularity of presenting on the cover wall 4 and on the other cover wall 6, adjoining with the strips 20 ', 20 "and 22', 22", convex shapes 4 ', 4 "and 6', 6" that They cover the upper areas of the bottles below. This facilitates the downward turning of the strips 20 ', 20 "and 22', 22" between the covered bottles in order to raise the central sections 15, 21 'in the form of a band.

Finally, cutout 1^V It has the particularity of strips 27 ”', 28”' of easy opening with an asymmetric configuration. Its fastening strips 29, 30 are arranged so that they can be pressed into the intermediate zones between two bottles, which facilitates the opening of the easy-open strips 27 "', 28"'.
