Transport and Presentation Box

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 from the floor towards the top in a vertical direction at least partly by only a removal height, that is lower than the height of one or several of the other side walls in order to define a lateral opening having a dimension allowing access to and removal of products contained in the box through the lateral opening.

1 . Box, comprising:
 a floor; and   at least two pairs of respectively opposing side walls, wherein a first one of the side walls extends from the floor towards the top in a vertical direction at least partly by only a removal height that is lower than the height of one or several of the other side walls in order to define a lateral opening comprising a dimension allowing access to and removal of products comprised in the box through the lateral opening.   
     
     
         2 . Box according to  claim 1 , wherein the first side wall comprises one or two side wall portions extending in the direction of the lateral opening starting from one of the adjacent side walls and comprising a height which is higher than the removal height. 
     
     
         3 . Box according to  claim 1  with a first pair of shorter side walls and a second pair of longer side walls. 
     
     
         4 . Box according to  claim 3 , wherein the first side wall is one of the long side walls. 
     
     
         5 . Box according to  claim 1 , further comprising a movable side wall area extending towards the top in the vertical direction at the first side wall which is movable in the direction of the floor with respect to the first side wall. 
     
     
         6 . Box according to  claim 5 , wherein the movable side wall area is arranged in a foldable manner with respect to a fixed first side wall adjacent to the floor. 
     
     
         7 . 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 one grip opening each comprises a first opening area extending parallel to the floor and a second opening area on the side of the grip opening facing the first side wall running substantially in a vertical direction. 
     
     
         8 . Box according to  claim 7 , wherein the opening areas merge into each other at the side facing away from the floor in a merging area comprising a curve which allows gripping of the box also in the merging area. 
     
     
         9 . Box according to  claim 8 , wherein the radius of curvature is more than 2 cm. 
     
     
         10 . Box according to  claim 1 , wherein the floor comprises, at an area adjacent to the first side wall, a supporting area for the products to be transported which is larger than a supporting area averaged across the whole floor. 
     
     
         11 . Box, wherein side walls adjacent to the first side wall comprise a lower first height at their end adjacent to the first side wall than a second height at their opposite end. 
     
     
         12 . Box according to  claim 11 , wherein the height of the side walls adjacent to the first side wall rises continuously from the first height to the second height. 
     
     
         13 . Box according to  claim 1 , wherein the other side walls not corresponding to the first side wall are movably arranged with regard to the floor such that they can be folded in the direction of the floor into a folded-in state, in which the same are substantially parallel to the floor. 
     
     
         14 . Box according to  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of mandrels are arranged on the floor of the box, which are implemented such that they can hold bottles arranged in the box. 
     
     
         15 . Box according to  claim 14 , wherein the height of the mandrels in the vertical direction does not exceed the removal height of the first side wall. 
     
     
         16 . Box according to  claim 14 , wherein the mandrels comprise an outer limiting area extending in a vertical direction from the floor towards the top, whose height varies along the outer circumference of the mandrel. 
     
     
         17 . Box according to  claim 16 , wherein at least one mandrel comprises a limiting surface area limiting the mandrel in a direction parallel to the first side wall, which is of a lower height than a second limiting surface area limiting the mandrel in a direction of the first side wall. 
     
     
         18 . Box according to  claim 14 , wherein the limiting area of the mandrel comprises a substantially rhombus-shaped cross-section parallel to the floor, wherein one of the tips of the rhombus points in the direction of the first side wall. 
     
     
         19 . Box according to  claim 18 , wherein the outer limiting area of the mandrel is curved towards the inside in a concave manner between the tips of the rhombus-shaped cross-section. 
     
     
         20 . Box according to  claim 19 , wherein the radius of the curvatures approximately corresponds to the radius of a bottle body to be held inside the box. 
     
     
         21 . Box according to  claim 1 , wherein the first side wall is connected to the floor in a detachable manner.
