Bottle Rack Layout With Cantilever Neck Support for Easy Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bottle storage devices have limited storage capacity, are difficult to load and unload, and are not designed for easy access to product information on lateral surfaces, making them inefficient for sales and presentation purposes.
Innovation Solution
A bottle storage device with cantilevered central support sub-devices that allow for easy loading and unloading of bottles, featuring offset stops for lateral surfaces and an upward protruding stopper at the end of the central support sub-device to prevent bottles from falling, enabling space-saving storage and easy access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If bottles are stored in double rows with central support, then storage capacity increases, but loading and unloading becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The support device is segmented into a first support element for lateral surfaces and a second support element for bottle necks, allowing independent optimization of each support function and enabling easy access from the front while maintaining double-row storage capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The support elements are arranged in different spatial dimensions - lateral support from the sides and neck support from the center - creating a three-dimensional support structure that allows front access without compromising storage density
2Stability of the object's composition
If central support sub-device is supported from rear, then structural stability improves, but bottle access is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The central support sub-device is extracted from rear support and repositioned to cantilever from the rear side toward the front, removing the obstruction to bottle access while maintaining structural stability through proper cantilever design
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of supporting the central sub-device from the rear (conventional approach), the invention inverts the support arrangement by having it cantilever forward from the rear side, changing the support direction to enable front access
3Quantity of substance
If storage capacity is increased, then device volume efficiency improves, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support device is designed with universal, simple geometric forms that can accommodate multiple bottles in double rows, achieving high storage capacity without proportionally increasing structural complexity through modular design

AI summary
The invention relates to a bottle storage apparatus, in particular a bottle rack, for at least one double row (7) which is formed from a first row (2) and a second row (3) of bottles (1) and rests on a support apparatus (11), wherein each support apparatus (11) has a first support sub-apparatus (6) and a second support sub-apparatus (10) for supporting the lateral surfaces (5) of the bottles (1) and a third support sub-apparatus (8), which is arranged between said first and second support sub-apparatuses, for supporting the bottle neck (4) of the bottle (1), said support sub-apparatuses (6, 8, 10) being arranged at a distance from one another in each case. According to the invention, the third support sub-apparatus (8) is formed such that it projects freely from a rear side, which is situated opposite a removal side, of the bottle storage apparatus towards the removal side, and stops (14) for the lateral surfaces (5) of the rearmost bottle (1) of the first and of the second row (2, 3) are provided, these stops being offset in relation to one another in the direction of the rows (2, 3).
