Description

, 109682

The present invention relates to a carrier and storage device, and more particularly to a device for transporting and storing, for example, bottled objects.

There is a need in many areas for the transportation and storage of bottled objects such as different types of beverage bottles. Some destinations include camping and sports.

It is difficult to pack the bottles in such a way that they can be safely and conveniently exposed and possibly kept cold / hot. Particularly in the case of shattering glass bottles, the problem is quite troublesome, since, in most cases, packing several bottles in close proximity to one another can cause the bottles 15 to break unless wrapped in softening wrappers, which is difficult.

On the other hand, packing and transporting the bottles to keep them cold / hot for a long time is also difficult. Thermos flasks are suitable for this purpose, but are unfortunately sensitive to breakage and also require quite a bit of space.

In addition, 25 bottles, while in a fully open position, usually kicked by passers-by, are not very comfortable to use. Sometimes they are even dangerous to use '; due to contamination.

It is an object of the present invention to provide such a device which completely avoids the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and provides: a carrier and storage device which provides the vials or for similar protection against dirt, but also against shocks and other threats 109682 2, while also providing protection against warming for beverages intended to be kept cold and for hot beverages to be cooled accordingly.

The foregoing and other advantages and advantages of the present invention are provided as set forth in the appended claims.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings show one preferred embodiment of the invention without being limited thereto.

So:

Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention in oblique view in a closed state; 15

Figure 2 shows the device of Figure 1 in an open position; and

Figures 3 and 4 show a shortened version of the device as in Figures 1 and 2.

According to Fig. 1, the device 1 consists of a two-part multi-compartment cartridge structure. The parts 2 and 3 may be identical or different and in this case <iim; both parts comprise three compartments 21, 22, 23 and 31, 32, 33 which may Don't also be identical or different for example to receive different bottles * f *. .; or similar containers.

The material of the device according to the invention is, in particular, a cellular plastic and, preferably, a closed cell cellular plastic, which provides a dense surface structure which is easy to keep clean and dirt-free.

The device 1 according to the invention can be manufactured in many ways, but for example various thermoforming processes are useful. In this case, the 3,109,682 often starts from carpets of solid cellular plastic which are molded with the aid of molds. For example, the blowing method is suitable. The blasting process utilizes gas pressure to mold the carpets, and many other methods have the advantage of welding the halves together in one and the same step. Other methods may require gluing the parts together in a separate step. Also, the handle 5 is easily formed in the same step.

In the process described above, the means remains to rotate the protrusion to the 4-seam target. After manufacture, the protrusion is cleaned, in particular by cutting off excess parts.

During or after fabrication, it is customary to make patterns, such as logos or other patterns, on the device. During or after manufacture, it is, of course, possible to attach other necessary parts to the device or to change the function of the device in the appropriate direction. Thus, as shown in Fig. 1, the device is provided with a closure device 6, which may be of any type, but in particular may be a very convenient pair of rigging straps, one part attached to the lower part 3 and the other part. 20 upper half size 2.

'' 'With the closure 6 on both sides, although this method would hardly be sufficiently reliable and reliable. Depending on the dimensions of the device, the incision can be made so that the second part serves only as a simple cover for the trays. This latter alternative is illustrated in Figures 3 and 4.

According to the invention, the compartments are filled with suitable containers, such as bottles, in the open position according to Figures 2 and 4, after which the device is closed to the position shown in Figures 1 and 3 and thereafter the device is bottled for carrying handle 5. It also provides good protection against dirt, shock and temperature fluctuations. Between the bottles or the like, a suitable piece of foam, such as the foam used to make the device, may be inserted to prevent the bottles from piling against each other during transport.

The invention can be modified in many ways while still remaining within the scope of the basic idea of the invention 10 and the appended claims. For example, the shape or the number of trays and the overall size of the device, as well as other outwardly visible aspects, can be shaped as needed. For example, the size of the device may be such that one compartment holds one soft drink bottle, whereby the cut is made close to the top of the compartment so that it only separates the low portion 15 of the lid as the lid. 1 ·
