<p>A bottle pack crate for crating partitioned bottle packs, comprising a rectangular crate bottom of lattice work; cells providing seating space for a bottle; upstanding walls surrounding the crate bottom; and at least one group of bottle-separating projections standing up from the crate bottom, the at least one group consisting of at least one and not more than two pairs of projections and being centered on a point where corners of four of the cells come together. The projections forming the group are mutually separated substantially completely from each other by at least one cleft centered on a cell boundary plane, the cleft extending across the group of projections and extending in depth to at least substantially adjacent the upper surface of the crate bottom. When a loaded bottle pack of a partially partitioned type with a suitably apertured bottom is lowered into the crate, a partition or side wall of the bottle pack fits into a respective cleft of the at least one group of projections and the projections of the at least one group project into the bottle pack. The invention allows bottles already collected in one or more bottle packs to be inserted in a crate for transportation in factory handling and wholesale distribution, and thus avoids completely the transfer of the bottles out of the crates and into bottle packs.</p> |
