| (54) | Anti-rub partition wall |
| (57) The outer frame (1) incorporates a number of recesses (2) equidistant from each other
and from the corresponding frame corners, as well as other central ones of the grid
of longitudinal (7) and transverse (8) partitions, these recesses (2) having a height
greater than that of the label (3) and backlabel (4) of bottle (5), incorporated into
space (6) without rubbing against the packing, frame (1) or partitions (7) and (8),
in addition to not touching each other from both sides of recess (2) between partitions. |
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention here proposed consists of a bottle label separator- protector from among the separators incorporated in their packaging.
[0002] This invention is characterised by a special construction of the separator, incorporating an outer recessed frame and inner partitions, longitudinal and transverse, also recessed.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Interlocked partitions placed inside boxes and other bottle packaging containers, in differing numbers, are widely known and need no further explanation other than that their construction in a wide grid can be made using aligned grooves on the same side or alternating grooves on opposite sides.
[0004] Internal reinforcements for protection of the boxes and other containers of this type are known and used with certain frequency.
[0005] Also known is the damage suffered by bottle labels during their shipping, especially in maritime transport where it is common for the bottles, despite the separators, to turn about their axis and rub against these separators and against the container.
[0006] The applicant is not aware of the existence of protective separators of the type described hereunder, with internal recesses which prevent this damage due to rubbing of the bottle labels against the cardboard of the partitions and/or the container, with no detriment to the protective function.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The invention object of the present memory relates to a bottle label separator-protector from among the separators incorporated in bottle storage and shipping containers, either of the type having cut-out partitions on one of the larger edges or of the type with grooves on both edges alternately.
[0008] The invention is characterised by a specific construction of the bottle label separator incorporating a multiple recessed outer frame, in any conventional construction, which partially or completely fills the height of the four inner vertical faces of the container, so that the height of these recesses in the central area is greater than that of the label and backlabel, slightly and conventionally extending beyond different points of the bottle generatrices.
[0009] These recesses are repeated as many times as there are bottles aligned along the sides of the container and are symmetrically duplicated in the comer dihedron in order to allow introducing the bottle in the cardboard space, so that it does not rub against the container cardboard nor, due to its reduced thickness, with the label of the adjacent bottle.
[0010] Both the longitudinal and transverse internal partition or partitions are also recessed with the same purpose.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0011] As a complement of the description being made and in order to aid a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, attached to the present descriptive memory and as an integral part of it, is a set of drawings where, in an illustrative and non-limiting sense, the following is shown:
[0012] Figure 1 shows an exploded view of the bottle label separator- protector of the invention in a perspective view showing the recesses of this case of the preferred example.
[0013] Figure 2 shows a partial and cross-sectioned side elevation showing two bottles with their respective labels facing each other inside their shared space.
PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
[0014] In view of the above, the present invention relates to a bottle label separator-protector, of the grid separators with cut-out partitions in one or both larger edges and of internal container protector frames, essentially characterised by incorporating the outer frame (1) of vertical laminas and with ends having opposed projections and recesses in dovetail, from a number of recesses (2) equidistant to each other and to the respective frame comers, as well as other central recesses of the grid formed by the internal longitudinal (7) or transverse (8) partition or partitions, these recesses (2) having a height greater than that of the label (3) and backlabel (4) of bottle (5), which are introduced in space (6) without rubbing against the cardboard of the outer packing nor against the frame (1), nor against partitions (7) and (8), in addition to partitions (7) and (8) not touching each other from the two sides of a recess (2).
1. Bottle label separator- protector of grid separators in cut-out partitions on one
or both larger edges, and of internal container protector frames, essentially characterised
in that the outer frame (1) incorporates a set of recesses (2) equidistant from each
other and from the respective comers of the frame, as well as other central recesses
of the grid formed by the longitudinal (7) and transverse (8) partition or partitions,
these recesses (2) having a height greater than that of label (3) and backlabel (4)
of the bottle (5), which are incorporated in the space (6) without rubbing against
the cardboard of the outer packing nor against partitions (7) or (8), in addition
to partitions (7) or (8) not touching each other from opposite sides of a recess (2).
2. Bottle label separator- protector as claimed in the previous claim, characterised
in that frame (1) is eliminated in order to reduce the pressure of the outer packing
on labels (3), by an inadequate lengthening of partitions (7) and (8).
