<p>907,444. Bottle crates. HERCULES IBERICA S.A. Feb. 13, 1961 [April 22, 1960; Nov. 16, 1960], No. 5301/61. Class 18. A case for bottles has bottom, top and side walls formed in one piece by moulding and has apertures V in the top to locate the bottles. The case may be made by blow moulding, vacuum moulding or by injection moulding and may be of vulcanised rubber, cellulose acetate, polyvinyl chloride or polyethylene. Reinforcing ribs 16 may be provided on the top surface and similar ribs 7 on the inside of the bottom locate the lower ends of the bottles. Hand holes in the end walls each have a member Z of a plastic fitted therein, the member being expanded into position in a soft condition and subsequently hardened. Similar members may be fitted to apertures V to accommodate smaller diameter bottles. The apertures may alternatively have flanges on the underside, the depth thereof increasing towards the centre of the top. The bottom may have frusto-conical projections 17 which locate in the bottle bases or dishshaped members may be secured to the projections to fit the ends of the bottles. The projections are hollow on the under surfaces to accommodate the tops of bottles in a lower case when the cases are stacked (Fig. 6). All external edges of the case are rounded. Drainage holes are provided. Advertisements or trade marks may be formed in bas-relief on the outer walls. The apertures are moulded as portions of reduced thickness or are marked by grooves, the central portion being subsequently removed by a die.</p> |
