Abstract
Two-part case for beverage bottles. Structure is provided on the case for mutually securing and locking the parts of the case together. The structure includes vertical assembly strips mounted on each part which slidingly interlock with each other to interlock the parts together. In addition, the structure includes pivoting bolts on the parts for preventing the assembly strips from sliding apart.
Claims10
A two-part case for holding beverage bottles comprising:
- two identical components;
- means for securing and locking said components;
- vertical assembly strips mounted on each component adjacent to an interface between said components and interlocking with each other for assembly of the case;
- said assembly strips being separable by sliding said strips to each side of said case;
- and bolt means on said components for preventing said components from sliding apart;
- carrying straps pivoting about pivot means on ends of said components;
- each strap having at least one leg with a projection extending beyond said pivot means with a free end of said projection extending through said assembly strips when said strap is pivoted against one component and engages the matching recess in the other component;
- said straps being mounted against inner surfaces of said components, said straps resting against inner surfaces of sides and ends of said case when said straps are pivoted against said component.

- said straps being mounted against inner surfaces of said components, said straps resting against inner surfaces of sides and ends of said case when said straps are pivoted against said component;
- said assembly strips being sunk into ends of said components, said ends mounting said bolt means in transitional areas of said interface;
- said assembly strip comprising intermeshing claws in cross-section, one of said claws being bent back from one end and recessed into said interface, said one claw being accessible from outside of said case, the other one of said claws being located in the same plane as said end and projecting out beyond said interface, said other claw being accessible from inside of said case;
- said case having a bottom and an open face opposite to said bottom, said claws having jaws tapering toward said bottom and nose-shaped elements tapering correspondingly toward said open face;
- return means adjacent to said assembly strips and accessible perpendicular to said interface;
- mounting means adjacent to said assembly strips and extending into said return means and projecting beyond said interface, said mounting means intermeshing with a recess for preventing said components from sliding up and down relative to each other;
- each component having said bolt means deflecting out and beyond said interface into a recess located on a side in the other adjacent component;
- carrying straps pivoting on pivot means on ends of said components, each strap having at least one leg with a projection extending beyond said pivot means, said projection having a free end extending through said assembly strips and engaging said recess in the other adjacent component when said strap is pivoted against the respective component;
- said projection on said leg and beyond said pivot means having a Z-shape, said free end of said projection engaging said recess extending remote from an upper edge of said case in one component when the respective strap is pivoted down against the other adjacent component.
