Description

Plastic boxes

The invention relates to a plastic box, consisting from a bottom and at least four upright walls and at least one compartment wall within the of the four upright walls of enclosed space.

In known plastic boxes of this type, two opposing walls are provided with the outer ends of a compartment wall tied together. The partition walls are generally to save material and in the interest of a low transport weight thin-walled, while the upright walls are thick-walled. From this the result is a considerably different shrinkage behavior for the upright or outer walls and the Compartment walls when cooling the plastic box after its Manufacture so that the compartment wall or walls can experience curvatures. This has the consequence that in such a Plastic crate filled with bottles v / ground the bottles clamped by the compartment walls. This can cause great difficulties especially bottle losses, cause what is ahead

is especially the case when the bottles are automatically

d. H. mechanically, can be removed. These difficulties also occur with such plastic boxes, which are used for the transport of bottle units or packs, as under the described Under certain circumstances, such bottle ends cannot be easily removed.

Although it has already been suggested, the dimensions of plastic boxes in view of the different shrinkage ratio, however this is not a success due to general transport problems, as for the transport of these plastic boxes Usual or standardized pallets or the like can be used.

The invention provides a remedy here and achieves this on the basis of a plastic box of the type specified at the beginning Kind in that the Gefachward is provided with at least one slot from the top the compartment wall and / or starting from the lower end of the compartment wall. This slot effects compensation Differences in shrinkage between the upright or outer walls and the compartment wall or walls when the finished product cools.

In an embodiment of the invention, the respective compartment wall is provided with a first slot in the vicinity of an upright wall, which extends from the free upper end of the compartment wall, while a second slot extends from the bottom of the plastic box. These slots are separated from one another by a narrow connecting web. In this embodiment, no differences are observed in the shrinkage ratio between the upright or outer walls and a compartment wall, in particular if the connecting web is arranged in the range between 1 / k and 3M of the total height of the compartment wall.

The upper region of a compartment wall configured in this way is firmly connected to a second compartment wall, which is arranged at right angles or at an angle to the first compartment wall. The connection is made in such a way that that a web is formed which connects the two compartment walls. The first compartment wall is with a slot or a recess is provided, starting from the bottom of the plastic box on both sides of the connecting web runs. The second compartment wall is in turn with a slot or a recess provided on both sides of the junction. This recess also starts from the bottom of the plastic box

With such a configuration, a very useful

moderate subdivision of the whole of. the upright or outer walls of the enclosed space in storage compartments be created with an appropriate arrangement of the compartment walls in the space bounded by the outer walls.

Further features and advantages of the invention emerge from the claims and the description below in conjunction with the drawing in which an embodiment of the subject invention is illustrated is. In the drawing show:

Fig. 1 shows a plastic box partially in a section along the line I-I of Fig. 1 and

FIG. 2 shows the plastic box according to FIG. 1 partially in a section along the line II-II of Fig. 1.

In Fig. 1 is a plastic box with a bottom 1 and an upright or vertical outer Seitenv / and 2 shown, opposite which a upright or vertical outer side wall 3 is located. The box further comprises an upright one or vertical outer side wall 16 and an upright or vertical one arranged opposite thereto outer sidewall 17.

The side wall ^ 2 and 3 are connected by a first compartment wall ¹ I. In the Cefachwand * »there is a first slot 5 and a second slot 6 aligned with cfesem. The slot 5 extends from the top 7 of the compartment wall H and the lower slot 6 extends from the bottom 1 of the plastic box, with the lower slot 6 facing Top 7 of the compartment wall ¹ J extends out.

The slots 5 and 6 are preferably V-shaped with a rounded base or a flat base rounded corners.

The width of the lower slot 6 near the bottom can be slightly larger than the width of the upper slot 5 be its top.

The slots 5 and 6 are separated from one another by means of a narrow intermediate web 8 which has a width of ζ. B. has 2 cn.

The upper region of the first compartment wall H is connected to a second compartment wall 12 with the formation of a connecting web 10.

On both sides of the connecting web 10 there is a recess 11 below this in the compartment wall h, which extends from the bottom 1 of the box.

Such a recess, denoted by 9 in FIG. 2, is also located in the second compartment wall 12, which connects the outer walls 16 and V to one another.

VJie the drawing shows, the gutter 8 between the slots 5 and 6 in the range of l / k, and ^3/1 J is arranged the overall height of the Gefachwand ¹ J. The total height of the compartment wall h is determined by the dimension between the highest point 13 of the compartment wall ¹ J and the bottom 1 of the box.

^{The compartment wall 1} J is firmly connected to the outer wall 2 by an extension part 14 of the compartment wall 4, which extends into the upper end region of the plastic box. Furthermore, a region 15 of the compartment wall k extending to the bottom 1 of the box is connected to the outer wall 2 next to the slot 6. A corresponding end connection between the compartment wall 4 and the outer wall 3 is provided.

In this configuration, the Gefachxvand ¹ J does not experience any curvature when the finished plastic box cools.

The distance from the inside of the outer wall 2 of the plastic ^{box is to the nearest area of the end face of the extension part I 1} J and the area 15 _____

the compartment wall, 4 is between 1 to 5 cn. The width the slots 5 and 6 can be 0.5 to 2 cm or more.

Fig. 2 shows a partial cross section of the plastic box along the line II-II. As can be seen, the second compartment wall 12, which connects the outer walls 16 and Ή to one another, comprises a recess 9 which extends from the bottom 1 of the plastic box to both sides of the connecting web 10. The second compartment wall 12 is arranged at right angles to the first compartment wall * J.

The reference symbols in FIG. 2 correspond to those in FIG. 1 used.

A first slot 5a extends from the top 7a of the second compartment wall 12 and a second slot 6a extends from the bottom of the box. The second slot 6a is aligned with the first slot 5a. The outer v / and 16 is connected to an extension part lUa of the second compartment wall 12, which extends into the upper end region of the plastic box. A region 15a of the compartment wall V , which extends towards the body 1 of the box, next to the slot 6a is also connected to the outer wall 16. The end connection of the compartment wall 1? with the outer wall 17 is made accordingly.

as well as for the extension part 14 and the wall area 15 also apply to the slots 5a, 6a, the extension part 14a and the wall area 15a. The total height of the second compartment wall 12 is determined by the height between the highest point 13a of the compartment wall 12 and the bottom 1 of the plastic box. The intermediate web 8a is in turn arranged at a point which is between l / h and 3/4 of the total height of the compartment wall 12.

As the drawing shows, there are several compartment walls 4, 12 in the assignment shown, forming a corresponding number of admission subjects for the example bottles shown provided.
