Description

Maschinell bestückbare Tragevorrichtung für FlaschenMachine-carrying device for bottles
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tragevorrichtung für Flaschen, die im Bereich ihres Halses mit einem Kragen versehen sind, insbesondere für Flaschen aus Kunststoff, wobei die Tragevorrichtung so ausgebildet ist, daß die Flaschen, insbesondere am Ort der Abfüllung, maschinell mit der Tragevorrichtung versehen werden können.The invention relates to a carrying device for bottles which are provided with a collar in the region of their neck, in particular for plastic bottles, the carrying device being designed in such a way that the bottles, in particular at the place of filling, can be provided with the carrying device by machine.
Herkömmlicherweise werden zum Transport und Nerkauf von Getränken oder Lebensmitteln Flaschen aus Glas verwendet. In jüngster Zeit haben sich weiterhin Flaschen aus Kunststoff etabliert, die sich gegenüber den Glasflaschen durch geringeres Eigengewicht und damit größerer Füllmenge bei gleichem Endgewicht der befüllten Flaschen auszeichnen. Derartige Flaschen die zum Nerkauf von Getränken und Lebensmitteln an den Endverbraucher bestimmt sind, haben üblicherweise ein Füllvolumen bis zu 1,5 Litern.Glass bottles are conventionally used for the transport and sale of beverages or food. In recent times, plastic bottles have also become established, which are distinguished from glass bottles by their lower weight and thus greater filling volume with the same final weight of the filled bottles. Bottles of this type, which are intended for the purchase of beverages and food to the end user, usually have a filling volume of up to 1.5 liters.
Die Flaschen werden üblicherweise in Kisten oder Gebinden von sechs bis zwölf Flaschen zum Nerkauf an den Endabnehmer bereitgestellt. Daneben ist der Nerkauf von Einzelflaschen üblich.The bottles are usually provided in boxes or bundles of six to twelve bottles for sale to the end user. In addition, the purchase of individual bottles is common.
Ein wesentliches Problem für den Endverbraucher besteht in dem Transport der Flaschen vom Nerkaufsort zum Ort der endgültigen Verwendung. Die Kisten sind in der Regel schwer und unhandlich und ohne weiteres Transportmittel nicht über größere Strecken zu transportieren. Kleinere in Folien oder Kartons verpackte Gebinde besitzen üblicherweise keinerlei Trageeinrichtungen.A major problem for the end user is the transportation of the bottles from the point of purchase to the place of final use. The boxes are usually heavy and bulky and cannot be transported over long distances without additional means of transport. Smaller containers packed in foils or boxes usually do not have any carrying devices.
Hinzutritt, daß auf Seiten des Endverbrauchers häufig der Wunsch besteht kleinere Gebindegrößen zwischen zwei und vier Flaschen zu erwerben. In diesem Fall ist der Endverbraucher in der Regel darauf angewiesen einzelne Flaschen zu erwerben und diese in Taschen, Tüten oder ähnlichem zu transportieren.In addition, there is often a desire on the part of the end user to purchase smaller container sizes between two and four bottles. In this case, the end user is usually dependent on purchasing individual bottles and transporting them in bags, bags or the like.
Die DE 2 99 19 508 beschreibt eine Trageeinrichtung für Flaschen, die im Bereich Ihres Halses mit einem Kragen versehen sind, insbesondere für Flaschen aus Kunststoff, umfassend eine Trageplatte, die mindestens einen, durch ihre Dickenerstreckung hindurchlaufenden Durchbruch aufweist, welcher zu zumindest einer Umfangsfläche der Tragplatte offen ist und zur Aufnahme des Halses einer Flasche dient und mindestens einem mit der Trageplatte verbundenen Griff aufweist.DE 2 99 19 508 describes a carrying device for bottles which are provided with a collar in the region of your neck, in particular for plastic bottles, comprising a carrying plate which has at least one through it Thickness extending through opening which is open to at least one peripheral surface of the support plate and serves to receive the neck of a bottle and has at least one handle connected to the support plate.
Die Tragevorrichtung nach dem Stande der Technik ermöglicht es, Flaschen die im Bereich Ihres Halses mit einem Kragen versehen sind, mit dem Hals in den Durchbruch aufzunehmen, wobei der Kragen auf der Trageplatte aufliegt. In Abhängigkeit der Anzahl der Durchbrüche in der Trageplatte können ein oder mehrere Flaschen in der Tragevorrichtung aufgenommen werden. Die Aufnahme geschieht dabei durch seitliches Einfähren des Halses in den seitlich offenen Durchbruch. Derartige Tragevorrichtungen eignen sich insbesondere zur individuellen Zusammenstellung von Flaschengebinden durch den Endkunden am Verkaufsort.The carrying device according to the prior art makes it possible to hold bottles with a collar in the area of your neck with the neck in the opening, the collar resting on the carrier plate. Depending on the number of openings in the support plate, one or more bottles can be accommodated in the support device. The recording is done by inserting the neck into the side opening. Carrying devices of this type are particularly suitable for the individual compilation of bottle containers by the end customer at the point of sale.
Die genannte Tragevorrichtung nach dem Stande der Technik weist jedoch den Nachteil auf, daß aufgrund der Notwendigkeit die Flaschen seitlich in die Trägerplatte einzubringen, diese zur maschinellen und damit industriellen Konfektionierung von Gebinden nicht geeignet ist.The above-mentioned carrying device according to the prior art has the disadvantage, however, that due to the necessity to insert the bottles laterally into the carrier plate, this is not suitable for mechanical and therefore industrial packaging of containers.
Es besteht daher ein Bedürfnis für eine Tragevorrichtung für Flaschen, die im Bereich Ihres Halses mit einem Kragen versehen sind, bereitzustellen, die maschinell an die Flaschen angebracht werden kann und somit vorgefertigte Gebinde bereitstellt. Weitere Aufgebe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es eine Tragevorrichtung für Flaschen bereitzustellen, die weiterhin manuell, insbesondere durch den Endverbraucher, an den Flaschen angebracht werden kann. Weiterhin soll die Tragevorrichtung wiederverwendbar sein und kostengünstig herzustellen.There is therefore a need for a carrier device for bottles which are provided with a collar in the region of your neck, which can be attached to the bottles by machine and thus provides prefabricated containers. A further object of the present invention is to provide a bottle carrying device which can furthermore be attached to the bottles manually, in particular by the end user. Furthermore, the carrying device should be reusable and inexpensive to manufacture.
Gelöst werden die Aufgaben nach den technischen Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruches. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind in den Unteransprüchen dargestellt.The tasks are solved according to the technical characteristics of the independent claim. Preferred embodiments are presented in the subclaims.
Die weiteren Norteile der vorliegenden Erfindung werden nachfolgend in der Beschreibung dargelegt. Die erfindungsgemäße Tragevorrichtung dient zum Tragen von Flaschen, die im Bereicht Ihres Halses mit einem Kragen versehen sind. Derartige Flaschen sind bekannt. Insbesondere bei Kunststofflaschen wird ein derartiger Kragen am Hals, unterhalb des Flaschenverschlusses, angebracht um einzelne Flaschen leichter in der Hand zu tragen. Dabei wird der Flaschenhals zwischen den Fingern der Hand des Trägers gehalten, wobei der Kragen ein Durchrutschen des Flaschenhalses zwischen den Fingern verhindert. Derartige Flaschen mit einem Kragen werden im Folgendem Kragenflaschen genannt.The further advantages of the present invention are set out below in the description. The carrying device according to the invention is used to carry bottles that are provided with a collar in the area of your neck. Such bottles are known. In the case of plastic bottles in particular, a collar of this type is attached to the neck, below the bottle cap, in order to carry individual bottles more easily in the hand. The bottle neck is held between the fingers of the wearer's hand, the collar preventing the bottle neck from slipping between the fingers. Such bottles with a collar are called collar bottles below.
Die vorliegende Erfindung geht von einer Tragevorrichtung gemäß der DE 2 99 19 508 aus, bestehend aus einer Tragplatte mit wenigstens einem durch die Tragplatte hindurch verlaufenden Durchbruch, welcher zu einer Umfangsfläche der Tragplatte offen ist und zur Aufnahme des Halses einer Flasche dient, wobei der Durchbruch so dimensioniert ist, daß der unterhalb des Kragens verlaufende Hals aufgenommen werden kann, jedoch der Kragen einen größeren Durchmesser als der Durchbruch aufweist.The present invention is based on a carrying device according to DE 2 99 19 508, consisting of a support plate with at least one opening running through the support plate, which is open to a peripheral surface of the support plate and serves to receive the neck of a bottle, the opening is dimensioned so that the neck running underneath the collar can be accommodated, but the collar has a larger diameter than the opening.
Die erfindungsgemäße Fortführung besteht darin, den Durchbruch in seinem Umfang so zu erweitern, daß sein Durchmesser größer ist als der genannte Kragen der Kragenflasche und weiterhin, daß der Durchbruch mit einem nach obenhin zulaufenden Konusabschnitt versehen wird. Der Konusabschnitt ist dabei so ausgeführt, daß er in seiner Projektionsfläche den Durchmesser des Durchbruches soweit verjüngt, daß noch der Hals der zu tragenden Flasche aufgenommen werden kann, jedoch der Kragen auf dem oberen Rand des offenen Konusabschnittes aufliegt. Weiterhin ist der Konusabschnitt in Richtung der Öffnung des Durchbruches an der Umfangsfläche der Tragplatte ebenfalls durchbrochen. Der Konusdurchbruch hat vorzugsweise die gleiche Breite wie der Durchbruch der Tragplatte an der Umfangsfläche.The continuation according to the invention consists in expanding the opening in its scope in such a way that its diameter is larger than the collar of the collar bottle mentioned and further that the opening is provided with a conical section tapering upwards. The cone section is designed such that it tapers the diameter of the opening in its projection surface to such an extent that the neck of the bottle to be carried can still be received, but the collar rests on the upper edge of the open cone section. Furthermore, the cone section is also broken through in the direction of the opening of the opening on the peripheral surface of the support plate. The cone opening preferably has the same width as the opening of the support plate on the peripheral surface.
Durch diesen Kunstgriff ist es in vorteilhafter Weise möglich, die erfindungsgemäße Norrichtung von oben über den Flaschenhals zu stülpen, wobei der Kragen der Flasche durch den Durchbruch in der Trageplatte hindurch tritt, auf der Innenseite des Konus entlang gleitet und diesen unter dem Aufpreßdruck erweitert, bis der Kragen durch die obere Öffnung des Konus hindurchtritt. Anschließend zieht sich der Konus wieder zusammen, wobei die obere Öffnung des Konus wieder verjüngt ' wird und der Kragen auf der oberen Fläche des Konusses aufliegt. Ein Zurückfallen der Flasche ist damit nicht mehr möglich. Die Flasche befindet sich in der Trageposition.With this trick, it is advantageously possible to put the nor direction according to the invention from above over the bottle neck, the collar of the bottle passing through the opening in the support plate on the inside slides along the cone and expands it under the pressure until the collar passes through the upper opening of the cone. The cone then contracts again, the upper opening of the cone being tapered again and the collar resting on the upper surface of the cone. The bottle can no longer fall back. The bottle is in the wearing position.
Die Bestückung der erfmdungsgemäßern Tragevorrichtung mit Kragenflaschen durch senkrechtes Aufsetzen der Tragevorrichtung und Herunterdrücken derselben ermöglicht es nun in vereinfachter Weise die genannten Flaschen maschinell mit der Tragevorrichtung zu versehen.Fitting the carrying device according to the invention with collar bottles by vertically placing the carrying device and pressing it down now makes it possible in a simplified manner to mechanically provide said bottles with the carrying device.
Die Norteile hieraus liegen auf der Hand. Durch die maschinelle Bestückung der Tragevorrichtung können in einfacher Weise hohe Gebindezahlen pro Zeiteinheit erreicht werden. Weiterhin können entsprechende Gebinde bereits bei der Abfüllung der Flaschen erstellt werden. Auch das Bedürfnis nach konfektionierten und mit Tragevorrichtungen versehenen Flaschengebinden, die am Nerkaufsort bereitgestellt werden, kann damit in einfacher Weise befriedigt werden.The northern parts are obvious. By mechanically loading the carrying device, high container numbers per unit of time can be achieved in a simple manner. Corresponding containers can also be created when the bottles are filled. The need for ready-made bottle containers with carrying devices, which are provided at the point of sale, can also be satisfied in a simple manner.
Der Form der Tragevorrichtung sind grundsätzlich keine Beschränkungen auferlegt. In Abhängigkeit der Anzahl der aufzunehmenden Flaschen kann die Trägerplatte jegliche geometrische Form annehmen. Dies kann in Form eines Längsstreifens oder Rechtecks sein, bei dem die Flaschen nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Auch ist die Ausführung in Form von Dreiecken, Rechtecken, Kreisen oder Mehrecken möglich, wobei die Flaschen jeweils am Umfang der Tragplatte angeordnet sind.In principle, no restrictions are imposed on the shape of the carrying device. Depending on the number of bottles to be accommodated, the carrier plate can take on any geometric shape. This can be in the form of a longitudinal strip or rectangle, in which the bottles are arranged side by side. The design in the form of triangles, rectangles, circles or polygons is also possible, the bottles being arranged on the circumference of the support plate.
Die Herausnahme der Falschen aus der Tragevorrichtung geschieht durch seitliches Herausziehen der Flaschenhälse in Richtung der Öffnung an der Umfangsfläche der Tragplatte.The wrong ones are removed from the carrying device by pulling the bottle necks sideways in the direction of the opening on the peripheral surface of the support plate.
Die Öffnung an der Umfangsfläche der Tragplatte kann eine geringere Breite als der Durchmesser des Flaschenhalses aufweisen, wodurch ein unbeabsichtigtes Herausfallen der Flaschen aus der Tragevorrichtung verhindert wird. Beim Herausziehen der Flaschen aus der Trageeinrichtung ist in dieser Ausführungsform ein Widerstand, bedingt durch den geringeren Öffnungsquerschnitt der seitlichen Öffnung zu überwinden.The opening on the peripheral surface of the support plate can have a smaller width than the diameter of the bottle neck, thereby preventing the bottles from inadvertently falling out of the carrying device. At the Pulling the bottles out of the carrying device is resistance in this embodiment due to the smaller opening cross-section of the side opening.
Norteilhafterweise ist die Vorrichtung einstückig aus Kunststoff gebildet, woraus sich der Vorteil geringen Gewichts und geringer Herstellungskosten ergibt. Der Tragegriff kann dabei in Spritzgußtechnik an der Trageplatte angebracht sein. Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Tragplatte und der daran angeformte Griff durch ein Scharnier, insbesondere ein Filmscharnier, verbunden sind.The device is disadvantageously formed in one piece from plastic, which results in the advantage of low weight and low production costs. The handle can be attached to the support plate using injection molding technology. It can be provided that the support plate and the handle formed thereon are connected by a hinge, in particular a film hinge.
Bei der Herstellung der Tragplatte und des daran angeformten Griffes aus Kunststoff ist eine Ausbildung der Verbindung zwischen beiden in einfacher Weise als Filmscharnier möglich, indem eine entsprechende Querschnittsverringerung vorgesehen wird.In the production of the support plate and the plastic handle formed thereon, it is possible to form the connection between the two in a simple manner as a film hinge by providing a corresponding reduction in cross-section.
In einer weniger bevorzugten Ausfuhrungsform kann der Tragegriff als gesonderte Baugruppe, z. B. in Form einer Kordel, angebracht werden.In a less preferred embodiment, the handle as a separate assembly, for. B. in the form of a cord.
Die Erfindung wird im Weiteren anhand der Figur erläutert, die eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung darstellen.The invention is explained below with reference to the figure, which represents a preferred embodiment of the invention.
Figur 1 zeigt eine Draufsicht einer einstückigen Ausführungsform für drei in Reihe angeordneten Flaschen.FIG. 1 shows a top view of a one-piece embodiment for three bottles arranged in a row.
Figur 2 ist eine perspektivische Darstellung der Ausführungsform nach Figur 1.Figure 2 is a perspective view of the embodiment of Figure 1.
Die Trageeinrichtung 1 wird aus der Tragplatte 2 sowie dem Griff 3 gebildet. Die Tragplatte 2 sowie der Griff 3 werden durch das Folienscharnier 12 (gestrichelte Linie) miteinander verbunden. Die Tragplatte 1 wird in Abhängigkeit des verwendeten Materials in einer hinreichenden Dicke ausgeführt, um das Gewicht der zu tragenden Flaschen zu halten. Der Griff 3 kann aus Gründen der Materialersparnis wesentlich dünner ausgeführt werden, da dieser nach Bestückung der Tragplatte 1 mit Flaschen (nicht gezeigt) nach oben um das Folienschamier 12 hochgeklappt wird und danach nur Zugkräften, jedoch keinen Biegekräften zu widerstehen hat.The carrying device 1 is formed from the support plate 2 and the handle 3. The support plate 2 and the handle 3 are connected to each other by the film hinge 12 (dashed line). Depending on the material used, the support plate 1 is of sufficient thickness to hold the weight of the bottles to be carried. For reasons of material savings, the handle 3 can be made much thinner, since this is after the mounting plate 1 has been fitted with bottles (not shown) is folded up around the foil hinge 12 and then only has to withstand tensile forces, but no bending forces.
Die Trageplatte 1 weist die Durchbrüche 5 auf, deren Durchmesser größer ist als der jeweilige Kragen der Kragenflasche. Über die Zeichenebene hinaus erhebt sich umlaufend um die Aussparung 5 der sich nach oben verjüngende Konus 6.The support plate 1 has the openings 5, the diameter of which is larger than the respective collar of the collar bottle. The cone 6, which tapers upwards, rises all the way around the cutout 5 beyond the plane of the drawing.
Der Konus 6 erhebt sich über die Ebene der Tagplatte 2 und verjüngt sich zur oberen Ebene 7. Durch die obere Ebene 7 des Konus wird die Öffnung 9 gebildet, deren Durchmesser etwa dem Flaschenhalsdurchmesser entspricht, jedoch geringer ist als der des Kragens der jeweiligen Flasche.The cone 6 rises above the level of the day plate 2 and tapers to the upper level 7. The opening 9 is formed by the upper level 7 of the cone, the diameter of which corresponds approximately to the diameter of the bottle neck, but is less than that of the collar of the respective bottle.
Der Doppelpfeil A zeigt die seitliche Öffnung des Durchbruches 5 sowie des Konus 6 auf der Trägerplatte 2. Es ist ersichtlich, daß die seitliche Öffnung A eine kleinere lichte Weite hat als der Durchmesser der Öffnung 9. Die seitliche Öffnung A wird durch die Konuskanten 8 begrenzt.The double arrow A shows the lateral opening of the opening 5 and the cone 6 on the support plate 2. It can be seen that the lateral opening A has a smaller clear width than the diameter of the opening 9. The lateral opening A is delimited by the cone edges 8 ,
Im Griff 3 sind weiterhin Aussparungen 10 und 11 vorgesehen, die im Wesentlichen dazu dienen, die manuelle Herausnahme der Flaschen aus der Trageeinrichtung zu erleichtern, soweit der Tragegriff 3 seitlich abgeklappt und damit in der Ebene der Tragplatte 2 befindlich ist. Die Aussparungen 10 könne asymmetrisch ausgeführt sein, wobei die Aussparung so gestaltet ist, daß ein Auswärtsschwenken der Flaschen erleichtert wird.Recesses 10 and 11 are also provided in the handle 3, which essentially serve to facilitate the manual removal of the bottles from the carrying device insofar as the carrying handle 3 is folded down laterally and is thus in the plane of the supporting plate 2. The recesses 10 can be designed asymmetrically, the recess being designed in such a way that pivoting the bottles outwards is facilitated.
Die Aussparung 11 ist verbreitert und so gestaltet, daß ein Durchgriff mit der Hand möglich ist. Weiterhin kann ein Griffstück 4 vorgesehen sein, zur Erhöhung des Tragekomforts.The recess 11 is widened and designed so that it can be reached by hand. Furthermore, a handle 4 can be provided to increase comfort.
Die gezeigte Ausführungsform mit einer Längserstreckung der Tragplatte 2, wodurch die zu tragenden Flaschen nebeneinander angeordnet sind, weißt die Vorteile eines besonderen Tragekomforts auf. Weiterhin ist die gezeigte Ausführungsform besonders für die maschinelle Bestückung mit Flaschen in der Abfüllanlage geeignet, da die Flaschen in den Abfüllanlagen häufig auf einspurigen Laufbändem befördert werden. Eine leichte und sichere Zuführung der Flaschen ist damit gewährleistet, wobei die Trageeinrichtung maschinell von oben auf jeweils drei nebeneinanderstehende Flaschen gedrückt werden kann.The embodiment shown with a longitudinal extension of the support plate 2, as a result of which the bottles to be carried are arranged next to one another, has the advantages of special wearing comfort. Furthermore, the embodiment shown is particularly suitable for the mechanical loading of bottles in the bottling plant, since the bottles in the bottling plants are often conveyed on single-track treadmills become. This ensures easy and safe feeding of the bottles, with the carrying device being able to be pressed mechanically from above onto three adjacent bottles.
Die erfindungsgemäße Tragevorrichtung kann weiterhin in bekannter Weise mit Verstrebungen oder Verschteifungselementen versehen werden, insbesondere die Tragplatte 2.The carrying device according to the invention can furthermore be provided in a known manner with struts or stiffening elements, in particular the support plate 2.
Figur 2 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht der Ausfühmngsform gemäß der Figur 1. Gleiche Bezugszeichen beziffern dabei gleiche Merkmale. Aus der Figur 2 ist ersichtlich, wie sich der Konus 6 über die Ebene der Tragplatte 2 erhebt. Auch wird deutlich, daß die Dicke des Griffs 3 geringer ist als die der Tragplatte 2.FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the embodiment according to FIG. 1. The same reference numerals denote the same features. FIG. 2 shows how the cone 6 rises above the level of the support plate 2. It is also clear that the thickness of the handle 3 is less than that of the support plate 2.
Die Dicke des Griffes sowie der Tragplatte können von dem Fachmann in Abhängigkeit der jeweiligen Verwendung in beliebiger Weise variiert werden.

The thickness of the handle and the support plate can be varied by the person skilled in the art depending on the particular use. However, reducing the thickness of the handle is preferable from the standpoint of saving material.
