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 upwards from the floor in a vertical direction at least partially only by a retrieval height which is smaller than the height of one or several of the remaining side walls, to define a lateral opening with a dimension which enables access to and removal of products contained in the box through the lateral opening. The box further includes an insert to be arranged on the floor, wherein the insert is implemented depending on the products to be received by the box.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A box, comprising:
a floor; at least two pairs of respectively opposing side walls, wherein a first one of the side walls extends upwards from the floor in a vertical direction at least partially only by a retrieval height which is lower than the height of one or several of the remaining side walls, to define a lateral opening with dimensions which enable an access to and the removal of products comprised in the box through the lateral opening; and an insert for being arranged on the floor, wherein the insert is implemented depending on the products to be received in the box.
2 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein the insert is detachably connectable to the floor and/or the side walls.
3 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein the insert is plate-shaped, wherein a first surface of the plate-shaped insert facing the floor is adapted to a structure of the floor, and the second surface of the plate-shaped insert opposite to the first surface is structured according to the product to be received.
4 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein the insert comprises sleeves, longitudinal struts, cross struts and/or recesses of a predetermined geometry.
5 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein the insert is detachable from the floor and/or the side walls only using special tools.
6 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein the first side wall comprises one or two side wall sections which extend starting from one of the adjacent side walls in the direction of the lateral opening and comprise a height which is greater than the retrieval height.
7 . The box according to claim 1 , comprising a first pair of short side walls and a second pair of long side walls.
8 . The box according to claim 7 , wherein the first side wall is one of the long side walls.
9 . The box according to claim 1 , further comprising a moveable side wall area extending upwards in the vertical direction at the first side wall, wherein the area is moveable with respect to the first side wall in the direction towards the floor.
10 . The box according to claim 9 , wherein the moveable side wall area is arranged foldable with respect to a fixed first side wall adjacent to the floor.
11 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein the side walls adjacent to the first side wall each comprise a grip opening for lifting the box, wherein a grip opening each comprises a first opening area extending in parallel to the floor and a second opening area located on the side of the grip opening facing the first side wall and passing basically in the vertical direction.
12 . The box according to claim 11 , wherein the opening areas at the side facing away from the floor pass into each other in a transition area with a curvature, which enables a gripping of the box also in the transition area.
13 . The box according to claim 12 , wherein the curvature radius is larger than 2 cm.
14 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein the floor at an area adjacent to the first side wall comprises a supporting area for the products to be transported which is larger than a supporting area averaged across the complete floor.
15 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein the side walls adjacent to the first side wall, at their end adjacent to the first side wall, comprise a lower first height than a second height at their opposing end.
16 . The box according to claim 15 , wherein the height of the side walls adjacent to the first side wall continuously increases from the first height up to the second height.
17 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein the remaining side walls which do not correspond to the first side wall are moveably arranged with respect to the floor such that they may be folded into the direction of the floor into a down-folded state in which they are located substantially in parallel to the floor.
18 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein the insert comprises a plurality of sleeves which are implemented such that they may hold bottles arranged in the box.
19 . The box according to claim 18 , wherein the height of the sleeves in the vertical direction does not exceed the retrieval height of the first side wall.
20 . The box according to claim 18 , wherein the sleeves comprise an outer boundary surface extending upwards in a vertical direction, wherein the height of the surface varies along the outer circumference of the sleeve.
21 . The box according to claim 20 , wherein at least one sleeve comprises a boundary surface area limiting the sleeve in a direction in parallel to the first side wall, wherein the area comprises a smaller height than a second boundary surface area limiting the sleeve in the direction of the first side wall.
22 . The box according to claim 18 , wherein the boundary surface of the sleeve comprises a basically diamond-shaped cross-section in parallel to the floor, wherein one of the tips of the diamond directs into the direction of the first side wall.
23 . The box according to claim 22 , wherein the outer boundary surface of the sleeve is domed inwards concavely between the tips of the diamond-shaped cross-section.
24 . The box according to claim 23 , wherein the radius of the domes approximately corresponds to the radius of a bottle body to be held within the box.
25 . The box according to claim 1 , wherein the first side wall is detachably connected to the floor.
26 . A system, comprising:
a box comprising:
a floor;
at least two pairs of respectively opposing side walls, wherein a first one of the side walls extends upwards from the floor in a vertical direction at least partially only by a retrieval height which is lower than the height of one or several of the remaining side walls, to define a lateral opening with dimensions which enable an access to and the removal of products comprised in the box through the lateral opening; and
an insert for being arranged on the floor, wherein the insert is implemented depending on the products to be received in the box;
a plurality of inserts structured for different products, wherein one of the inserts may optionally be arranged in the box.Cited by (0)
