Plastic crates, especially for bottles

The innovation relates to a plastic box, in particular for bottles where. the side walls are at least partially double-walled and in two opposite ones Sidewalls carrying handle openings are provided, which are spaced from one another on their upper side by two parallel free lower edges of the two wall parts of a double wall area and with one between the edges inter-gripping handle bar are provided.

In a known plastic box of this type, the grip strip forms into the space between the wall parts Above the handle opening snap-in part that separates the space bridged between the lower edges of the wall parts. The handle bar is essentially the view withdrawn.

The innovation is based on the task of a plastic box to create with handle bar of the type mentioned at

which the handle bar can be used to convey information about the product transported in the plastic box.

To solve this problem, the innovation is primarily through this characterized in that the grip strip is partially on the outside of the outer wall part above the handle opening having overlapping outer web, which on a bottom part engaging under the edges of the wall parts above the handle opening the handle bar is molded.

This configuration makes it possible to provide information to the viewer of the plastic box via this outer web of the grip strip to convey about the content of the product transported in the plastic box by means of a specific color scheme Outer web and / or an imprint on this and / or embossing on the outside of this outer web, which also goes through a special design of its outline can be used to convey information. Preferably, the Handle bar is aligned parallel to the outer web and with this a receiving gap for the lower edge area of the outer Wall part delimiting inner web, which in cooperation with the lower Randbsreich of the outer wall part the definition the grip strip favors and counteracts breakage, especially in the area of the outer web. The handle bar can furthermore comprise a second outer web which rests on the outside of the inner wall part and which bends or warps

the lower edge areas of the wall parts above the handle openings counteracts and favors the fixing of the handle bar on the plastic box. Laying down the handle bar the lower edge areas of the wall parts can be clamped the parts or also by a snap engagement between the outer web and the outer wall part be evoked.

Numerous other features and advantages emerge from the claims and the description in conjunction with the drawing, in which a Ausführungsbdspiel the subject of the innovation is illustrated in more detail. In the drawing show:

As in particular from Pig. As can be seen, the side walls are partially double-walled, the upper edge area of the longitudinal side walls of the plastic box da3 having a cross-sectional profile of an inverted J. In this area, the inner wall part formed by the long leg of the J-profile is indicated by 17 and the outer wall part formed by the short leg of the J-profile is indicated by 18. Between the two wall parts 17,18 _;

In the area of the lower edge 20 of the side walls of the plastic box the wall parts form the profile of an inverted U in cross section, the inner wall part with 17 and again here as well the outer wall part is designated by 18. Also in this U-shape Reinforcing cross struts 21 can be provided in the profiled area. In the area of the longitudinal side walls are in the inner wall parts are each provided with openings 22 which enable to inspect the contents of the plastic box from the outside,

To secure plastic boxes placed one on top of the other, the bottom of the box is provided with a circumferential stacking edge 23, which protrudes as an approach over the inner wall part 17 downwards and offset to this by about the wall thickness inward

FIG. 2 shows in cross section that area of an end face Side wall of the plastic box in which a handle opening 22 'is provided. The cross-sectional view in Pig. 3 can it can be seen that the plastic box is double-walled in the area above the handle opening 22 ', here the inner wall part is designated with 1 and the outer wall part with 2 is. These two wall parts run - as otherwise - parallel to one another at a distance and delimit one between them Gap 13, which is on the top by a connecting web i4 is locked. The two lower edges of the wall parts 1.2 " end at the same height and run parallel at a distance from one another. To increase the convenience of a carrying arm of the plastic box and to prevent the palms of the hands from being trapped between the wall parts 1, 2 the lower edge regions of the Wall parts 1,2. a handle strip above the handle opening 22 ' 3 assigned, which can be seen in more detail from Fig. 3a. the Handle bar 3 consists in detail of a bottom part 11, the Merges into an upright outer web 4 via a rounding 12. This outer web 4 is on its inside in the upper Provide area with a protruding rib 8. Furthermore, the grip strip 3 comprises an upright and parallel to the outer web 4 aligned inner web 5, which together with the outer web 4 forms a receiving gap for the lower edge area of the outer Wall part 2 limited. Finally, the grip strip 3 also has an upright, inner outer web 6

provided, about the in. Transverse direction of the bottom part 11 with a outside rounded edge part 9 protrudes inward. '

As can be seen from Fig. 3, in the installed position of the grip strip 3, the lower edge region of the outer wall part 2 is received between the outer outer web ty and the inner web 5, whereby a clamping engagement between these parts is basically sufficient for fixing. In the example shown, the outside of the lower edge area of the outer wall part 2 has a projection 7 which cooperates with the inwardly projecting rib 8 on the inside of the outer outer web 4 to form a locking snap engagement of the outer wall part 2 is provided with a protruding, externally rounded stop and transition rib 2k . In the installed position of the grip strip 3, the inner outer web 6 rests on the outside of the inner wall part 1 and can be provided with a bevel on its upper side to facilitate the introduction of the grip strip. On the inside of the inner wall part 1, a bevel 10 is provided along its lower edge, through which the lower end of this edge area tapers downwards. The externally rounded edge part 9 of the grip strip 3 engages under the edge of the inner wall part 1 and, due to its outer rounding and in connection with the bevel 10, ensures that injuries on sharp edges cannot occur.
