Beverage crates are typically designed for a particular beverage container (e.g. bottle or can) size and configuration. The interior volume defined by the base and walls of the crate is constant, whether the beverage crate is a nestable crate, collapsible crate, or a stackable full-depth crate. Sometimes, a beverage crate can accommodate a small number of beverage container variations, e.g. a taller bottle and a shorter bottle both having the same body diameter.
A beverage crate includes a base and a plurality of walls extending upward from the base. The base together with the plurality of walls define a container interior for receiving beverage containers. By reconfiguring the crate, the storage volume of the container interior is selectively adjustable to accommodate different size beverage containers.
Thus, the same crate could be used for different size beverage containers. The crate could be used to ship a first size bottle to a store, then returned to the warehouse or distribution center, reconfigured and loaded with a second size bottle.
In some embodiments disclosed herein, the beverage crate includes at least one spacer movable between a stowed position in which the storage volume of the container interior is larger and a deployed position in which the storage volume of the container interior is smaller.
Some of the embodiments disclosed herein are collapsible crates and some are disclosed as nestable crates; however, it should be noted that the movable spacers disclosed in any of these embodiments could be implemented in either collapsible crates, nestable crates, or stackable full-depth crates.
A spacer 18 is pivotably connected to each end wall 16. The spacer 18 is generally U-shaped, having short arms pivotably connected to the end walls 16 and extending upward to connect to an elongated cross bar extending across most of the end wall 16. In the example shown, the spacer 18 is pivotably connected adjacent the upper end of each end wall 16. The cross bar of the spacer 18 can be accessed via a pair of notches 22 formed in the upper edge of each end wall 16.
A side spacer 20 is pivotably mounted to each side wall 14 in a similar manner The side spacers are accessible via notches 24 formed in upper edges of the side walls 14. The spacers 18, 20 are shown in
Referring to
The spacers 18, 20 permit the crate 10 to accommodate bottles 8, 9 of different sizes (i.e. body diameters). Alternatively, the deployed spacers 18, 20 could reconfigure the crate 10 to accommodate a lesser number of larger bottles than the retracted spacers 18, 20 (e.g. larger diameter bottles in a 3×5 array).
The crate 210 can be reconfigured as shown in

All of the embodiments described above provide crates that can be reconfigured to accommodate different sizes and/or different numbers of bottles. In all of the embodiments, except the third embodiment, the external footprint of the crate would not change between the two configurations. All of the features described above for altering the interior dimensions of the crate could be provided in a collapsible crate or in a low-depth nestable crate, or even a full-depth crate, again with the exception of the third embodiment. Other products besides beverage containers could be accommodated by any of the disclosed embodiments. Generally, it is contemplated that all of the disclosed components are formed of injection molded plastic; however, other materials and/or forming methods could be used for some of the components.
In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes and jurisprudence, exemplary configurations described above are considered to represent a preferred embodiment of the invention. However, it should be noted that the invention can be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described without departing from its spirit or scope. Alphanumeric labels on method steps in the claims are for ease of reference in other steps or other claims and unless otherwise explicitly indicated in the claim do not signify a required sequence.
This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/741,392, which was filed on Oct. 4, 2018.
