Abstract

A bottle storage device, particularly a bottle rack, is provided for at least one double row ( 7 ) including a first row ( 2 ) and a second row ( 3 ) of bottles ( 1 ) and resting on a support assembly ( 11 ), with each support assembly ( 11 ) having a first support assembly part ( 6 ) and a second support assembly part ( 10 ) for supporting the lateral surfaces ( 5 ) of the bottles ( 1 ), and a third support assembly part ( 8 ) is arranged between them for supporting the bottle necks ( 4 ) of the bottles ( 1 ), with the support assembly parts ( 6, 8, 10 ) each being spaced apart from each other. The third support assembly part ( 8 ) projects freely from a rear side of the bottle storage device, opposite the removal side, extending towards the removal side. Stops ( 14 ) are provided for the lateral surfaces ( 5 ) of the rearmost bottle ( 1 ) of the first and the second row ( 2, 3 ), which are off-set in reference to each other in a direction of the rows ( 2, 3 ).

Claims (10)

1. A bottle storage device for at least one double row ( 7 ) of bottles ( 1 ), formed by a first row ( 2 ) and a second row ( 3 ) of bottles ( 1 ), the device comprising at least one support assembly ( 11 ) for supporting the double row ( 7 ), which comprises a first support assembly part ( 6 ) for supporting lateral surfaces ( 5 ) of the bottles ( 1 ) of the first row ( 2 ) and a second support assembly part ( 10 ) for supporting lateral surfaces ( 5 ) of bottles ( 1 ) of the second row ( 3 ) and a third support assembly part ( 8 ) arranged between the first and second parts to support bottle necks ( 4 ) of the bottles ( 1 ) in both rows ( 3 , 4 ) of the double row ( 7 ), a first stop ( 14 ) for the lateral surface ( 5 ) of a rearmost one of the bottles ( 1 ) of the first row ( 2 ) and a second stop ( 14 ) for the lateral surface ( 5 ) of a rearmost one of the bottles ( 1 ) of the second row ( 3 ), the first, second and third support assembly parts ( 6 , 8 , 10 ) being spaced apart from each other, and the third support assembly part ( 8 ) projects freely from a rear side of the bottle storage device, positioned opposite a removal side, and extends with a free end directed toward the removal side, and the first and second stops for the lateral surfaces ( 5 ) of the rearmost bottle ( 1 ) of the first and the second row ( 2 , 3 ) are off-set in reference to each other in a direction of the rows ( 2 , 3 ), and the first, second and third support assembly parts ( 6 , 10 , 8 ) are arranged such that longitudinal axes of the stored bottles are each inclined in reference to a horizontal plane with the longitudinal axes of each of the stored bottles rising toward the bottle neck supported on the third support assembly part ( 8 ).

2. A bottle storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the third support assembly part ( 8 ) is formed by at least one rod freely projecting towards the removal side.

3. A bottle storage device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of a respective one of the first support assembly parts ( 6 ) or a respective one of the second support assembly parts ( 10 ) extends continuously over a length of the respective row ( 2 , 3 ).

4. A bottle storage device according claim 1 , wherein the bottles ( 1 ) can each be supported on the first support assembly part ( 6 ) and the second support assembly part ( 10 ) with sections of the lateral surfaces ( 5 ) adjacent to a bottom of the bottle.

5. A bottle storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the third support assembly part ( 8 ) is provided with a front stopper ( 13 ) that protrudes upwards in an area of its freely projecting end.

6. A bottle storage device according to claim 1 , wherein two or more of the support assemblies ( 11 ) are arranged one over top of the other, to provide for two or more double rows ( 7 ).

7. A bottle storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the support assembly ( 11 ) is formed by an insertion part that can be inserted into a body ( 16 ) of the bottle storage device and removed therefrom.

8. A bottle storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the support assembly ( 11 ) includes an attachment that can be suspended from a rear wall and can be removed therefrom.

9. A bottle storage device according to claim 1 , wherein two or more of the support assemblies ( 11 ) are arranged one over top of the other for holding one double row ( 7 ) each, and for each of the double rows ( 7 ), the first and second stops ( 14 ) are provided for the lateral surfaces ( 5 ) of the rearmost bottles ( 1 ) of the first and second row ( 2 , 3 ), off-set in reference to each other in the direction of the rows ( 2 , 3 ).

10. A bottle storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the bottle storage device comprises a bottle rack.
