SYSTEM FOR THE TRANSPORT OF AN ARRAY OF A PLURALITY OF SELF-SUPPORTING CONTAINERS FOR LIQUIDS

摘要

A novel system for the transport of an array of a plurality of self-supporting containers for liquids is provided. The system includes a cell tray, which is designed for a particular type of containers and has a load carrying surface for receiving bottom portions of said particular containers. The undersurface of the cell tray is on the reverse side to the load carrying surface and is shaped to receive top portions of similar containers of another cell tray beneath the undersurface. The cell tray also has a quadrilateral peripheral edge, which defines a periphery and surrounds the load carrying surface and the undersurface. The system also includes an insert, which features a peripheral edge, which fits within the periphery of the edge of the cell tray. The insert is configured to be removably inserted onto the load carrying surface or to the undersurface of the cell tray. A first surface of the insert is defined by the peripheral edge and configured to engage with a plurality of containers, which are different to those for which the cell tray is designed. A second surface of the insert is on the reverse side to the first surface and defined by the peripheral edge and configured to engage with the cell tray.

1. A system for the transport of an array of a plurality of self-supporting containers for liquids, the system comprising a cell tray designed for a particular type of container and including:
a load carrying surface for receiving bottom portions of said particular containers, an undersurface on the reverse side in respect to the load carrying surface and shaped to receive top portions of similar containers of another cell tray beneath the undersurface, and an insert configured to be removably inserted onto the load carrying surface or to the undersurface of the cell tray, the insert comprising: a first surface configured to engage a plurality of containers different in at least one of design and packaging than those for which the cell tray is intended, and a second surface on the reverse side with respect to the first surface and configured to engage with the cell tray.
