AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention relates to a box with a floor and two pairs of opposite side walls. The first pair of side walls has a lower removal height than the other side walls, allowing for easy access to the box through the lateral opening. The box can be stacked and accessed from the side, and the first side wall has a smaller removal height to prevent products from falling out of the box. The box also has grip openings and a larger supporting area for the products, preventing unintentional falling out of the products during transport. The box can be folded or collapsed for easy transport and can also have a movable side wall area to increase stability or security. The box can be cleaned by high-pressure blasting without separating the movable side wall area from the box. The other side walls can also be coated or laminated with product information. The technical effects of the invention include improved stability, security, and accessibility of the box for transporting goods or products."

Problems solved by technology

This is extremely inconvenient and time and energy-consuming.
This reduces the probability of things falling out during transport, such as bottles falling out of the box through the openings of the first side wall.

Embodiment Construction

[0033]FIG. 1 shows an inventive embodiment of a box 10 for beverages. In the embodiment shown, the floor 12 is not continuously formed in a plane but consists of a grid-like structure. As can be seen in the bottom view of the box of FIG. 3, the floor 12 is formed by a plurality of lands or bars. The same are arranged closely enough that the goods to be transported, i.e., for example, a bottle, cannot fall through the floor of the box or tilt in an uncontrolled manner when the edge of a bottle tilts into one of the cavities between the lands.

[0034]Further, the box comprises two pairs of respectively opposing side walls 14a, 14b and 16a, 16b extending from the floor 12 towards the top, i.e. in the vertical direction 18. A first one of the four side walls, in this example side wall 16b, extends merely by a lower removal height 20 into the vertical direction 18.

[0035]The removal height 20 is lower than the height of the other side walls 14a, 14b and 16a, so that a lateral opening is for...

Abstract

A box includes a floor and at least two pairs of respectively opposing side walls, wherein a first one of the side walls extends from the floor towards the top in a vertical direction at least partly by only a removal height, that is lower than the height of one or several of the other side walls in order to define a lateral opening having a dimension allowing access to and removal of products contained in the box through the lateral opening.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of copending International Application No. PCT / EP2009 / 008164, filed Nov. 17, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and additionally claims priority from Swiss Application No. 1656 / 09, filed Oct. 28, 2009, and International Application PCT / EP2009 / 007965, filed Nov. 6, 2009, which are all incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to boxes for transporting goods, allowing the goods transported in the box to be presented to a consumer and to ease access to the goods in the box for him or her.[0003]A plurality of products are transported in boxes open at the top. For example, a plurality of different box shapes are known in the beverage industry for transporting beverage bottles or smaller packs of beverage bottles (for example so-called “six-packs”) from production to retail. In retail, the boxes are normally s...
