DESCRIPTION

DISPENSING DEVICE ADAPTABLE TO A BOTTLE

Technical area

This invention relates to the field of dispensing devices which can be coupled to a bottle as a bottomless funnel or cup, which allows drinking or serving. The contents of this bottle through this dispensing device away from the mouth of the bottle.

State of the art

In the state of his technique, elements are known as a funnel which can be coupled to his crown of a bottle for drinking or dispensing its content.

These known elements include a tubular wall which defines a first mouthpiece, wider and intended for drinking or serving therein, and a second mouthpiece, narrow and intended to be coupled to the mouth of the bottle by means of its insertion partly at the end. inside this mouth of the bottle, producing its hermetic coupling.

The optimal configuration for a funnel intended to fill the bottle would be that which was described above, but in this case the intended use is that of emptying the bottle, therefore it is more appropriate to insert the crown of the bottle in the dispensing device, instead of doing it upside down, so that there are no possible cracks or defective seals in the intended direction in which the liquid will flow, which could cause losses liquid.

Furthermore, in known documents, as the second mouth is narrower than the mouth of the bottle, and therefore narrower than the crown of the bottle which defines this mouth of the bottle, it turns out to be impossible to couple the device dispensing on the body of the bottle in the inverted position, part of the bottle remaining inserted in the dispensing device and at the same time this crown and the corresponding cap remaining accessible through its second mouth, because as the second mouth is more small size, the crown and the cap can not pass through it and become accessible.

Brief description of the invention

BE2017 / 5261

This invention relates to a dispensing device which can be coupled to a bottle, in which this dispensing device comprises at least one tubular wall which defines a first mouthpiece and a second mouthpiece of opposite ends, and the size of the first mouthpiece being larger. as the size of the second mouth, and in which this bottle comprises a bottle body surmounted by a crown which defines a bottle mouth, this mouth of the bottle being intended to be sealed by means of an extractable cap.

Thus, this tubular wall defines an interior hollow accessible from two mouths of opposite ends, one being larger than the other, and therefore this dispensing device having a configuration similar to that of a funnel, it will understood that a mouth is a closed profile edge which delimits an exterior of an interior, for example in this case the first and second mouths delimit the exterior of the dispensing device from its interior, contained by the tubular wall. This mouth also includes a portion of the tubular wall adjacent to this closed profile edge.

Furthermore, it will be understood that the bottle has an interior enclosure delimited by bottle walls, this interior enclosure being accessible through this mouth of the bottle. The crown is the part of the wall of the bottle which surrounds the mouth of the bottle. of the bottle, which may not be very long, or which may extend until forming a bottle neck. Normally this mouth of the bottle, and therefore this crown, will have a circular cross section. The corresponding stopper, perhaps of any kind known in the market, by way of illustration, the cork stoppers inserted in the mouth of the bottle, those made of sheet metal folded around the crown, those which are screwed, those of sealed plastic, etc.

As a novelty it is proposed that the second mouth is provided to be coupled adjusted hermetically to the crown, the bottle and the dispensing device remaining coupled in succession, allowing the passage of a liquid contained in the bottle to the dispensing device to through the mouth of the bottle and the second mouth; the second mouth being larger than the crown allowing at least part of this crown to be inserted into the dispensing device through the second mouth, while remaining coupled thereto.

Thus, and in accordance with the proposed invention, the second mouthpiece is of a size larger than the crown of the bottle, this crown being able to pass through this

BE2017 / 5261 second mouth by producing an insertion at least in part and a hermetic coupling between the second mouth and the outer perimeter of this crown. This hermetic coupling will occur by means of coupling configurations provided in this second mouth.

In accordance with an alternative implementation, this crown comprises a protruding neck flange, and this adjusted and hermetic coupling occurs between the second mouth and this neck flange by means of a coupling configuration provided on the interior face of this second mouth.

it will be understood that a neck flange is an annular portion of the crown which protrudes in a radial direction, producing a widening of this crown.

Preferably this neck flange will be distant from the distal end of the crown ia closer to the mouth of the bottle, leaving an interspace.

This coupling can occur by means of the coupling configurations described above which may have, for example, an annular groove, a channel or a slot provided inside the second mouth, complementary to the protruding profile of this flange neck, or a protruding ring or step intended to remain pressed against this neck flange

Furthermore, it is proposed that the crown comprises an external thread and where the plug comprises an internal thread complementary to this external thread. This external thread can be accompanied by the neck flange described above, and in this case this thread will be less protruding from the crown than this neck flange, this thread preferably being located between the neck flange and the disfate end of the crown closest to the mouth of the bottle.

It will be understood that the second mouthpiece can also remain coupled to the external thread of the crown, instead of being coupled to the neck flange described above, this coupling configuration therefore being a thread.

Preferably the cap will be an Independent element of the dispensing device. This allows the opening and closing of the mouth of the bottle to be independent of the use or position of the dispensing device.

In accordance with an additional implementation of this invention, the second mouth is also intended to be coupled adjusted to the crown, the bottle remaining at least partially inserted into the dispensing device through its first mouth. So therefore, if previously it was defined that when we couple the device

BE2017 / 5261 dispenser to the bottle, the two elements remain in succession, now It is proposed that, ies two elements being coupled, the body of the bottle remains at least partially inserted into the dispensing device through the first mouthpiece, it that is to say, this body of the bottle having passed through the first mouth to mate with the second mouth through its crown.

In this configuration, the dispensing device is inverted and coupled around the body of the bottle for its transport and storage, the dispensing device also remaining united to the bottle through the crown and the second mouth.

Furthermore, it is proposed that, the body of the bottle being at least partially inserted into the dispensing device, the crown and the cap remain protruding from the second mouthpiece and accessible from outside the dispensing device. This allows the cap to be easily manipulated without the need to extract the dispensing device from its storage and transport position.

Another optional feature is that, the bottle being at least partially inserted into the dispensing device, a base portion of the bottle opposite the crown remains protruding from the first mouthpiece and accessible from outside the dispensing device. This characteristic requires that the length of the body of the bottle is greater than that of the dispensing device.

In another implementation, the bottle being at least partially inserted into the dispensing device, the tubular wall of the dispensing device remains adjacent and superimposed on the portion of the bottle inserted inside the dispensing device. This means that the geometry of the tubular wall reproduces the geometry of at least part of the body of the bottle, allowing that, in the storage and transport position, there is no empty space between this tubular wall of the device. dispenser and the body of the bottle, or that there is only a slight clearance,

Preferably, the coupling between the dispensing device and the crown occurs by elastic deformation of at least part of the second mouth, and preferably the bottle and / or the dispensing device are made of a plastic material.

The geometry of the constituent elements of the invention can be defined by means of some of the following descriptions, or one of their possible combinations:

® the first mouthpiece is circular or elliptical;

® the second mouth is circular;

BE2017 / 5261 “the geometry of the dispensing device corresponds to a body of revolution or to a body of revolution truncated by a plane inclined relative to the axis of revolution, this truncated plane defining the first mouth;

® a cross section of the dispensing device made between the first and second mouths is circular;

® the geometry of at least a majority of the dispensing device corresponds to a frustoconical body or truncated pyramid or in the form of a truncated bell or spherical cap having the truncated pole or a truncated paraboloid or a truncated hyperboloid "ies first and second mouths are parallel.

It will be understood that the references to the geometric position, such as for example parallel, perpendicular, tangent, etc. allow deviations of up to ± 5 ° from the theoretical position defined by this nomenclature.

Other characteristics of the invention are apparent in the following detailed description of an exemplary implementation.

Detailed description of an example of implementation

Fig. 1 shows an implementation of this invention of a non-limiting illustrative nature, in which a portion of a bottle 20 appears, provided with a bottle body 21 which defines an interior enclosure, and with a crown 22 which surrounds a mouth bottle 23 through which the inner enclosure of the bottle is accessible. In this implementation, this ring 22 has the shape of a cylindrical pipe and on its outer cylindrical face, a neck flange 25 is superimposed in the form of a flat ring which extends in a radial direction protruding from this outer face of the crown 22 arranged at a certain distance from the mouth of the bottle 23, ef an external thread 26 provided to be complementary to an internal thread 27 of a stopper 24.

The union of the cap 24 with the bottle 20 by means of these threads 26 and 27 offers a hermetic seal of the lower enclosure of the bottle 20. Furthermore in this implementation the flange of the neck 25 also exceeds the external thread 26 that the plug 24 coupled to this external thread 26, as can be seen in FIG. 3.

Fig. 1 also shows a dispensing device 10 which, in this implementation, has a bell-shaped section having a truncated end whose geometry corresponds to a body of revolution.

This dispensing device 10 is formed by a tubular wall 13 which encloses an interior space and two ends of which remain open through a first mouth 11 and a second mouth 12, defined in the end portions of the tubular wall 13, adjacent to the edges of closed profile of this tubular wall 13.

The first mouthpiece 11 is wider than the second mouthpiece 12, and is intended for drinking through it, as it approaches the mouth of the user, or for serving a liquid.

On the contrary the second mouth 12 is narrower than the first mouth 11, ef it is intended to be coupled adjusted to this crown 22 of the bottle 20, by offering a hermetic seal, by allowing the passage of a fluid from the bottle 20 towards the dispensing device 10 through the mouth of the bottle 23 and the second mouth 12.

BE2017 / 5261

The second mouth 12 is wider than the crown 22 of the bottle 20, so that this crown 22 can be inserted inside the dispensing device 10 through this second mouth 12, the bottle 20 and the dispensing device 10 remaining connected. in succession, as shown in FIG. 2.

This adjusted coupling is obtained by means of complementary coupling configurations provided in the crown 22 and in the second mouth 12. In this implementation, shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, these coupling configurations include an annular groove 15 provided on the inner face of the second mouth 12, and an outer edge protruding from this flange of the neck 25, this annular groove 15 being complementary to this edge of the flange neck 25 which would remain fitted fitted inside this annular groove 15. To produce coupling and decoupling, an elastic deformation of the second mouth 12 or of the flange of the neck 25 will be required,

Alternatively, coupling configurations are envisaged which are different from those described above, such as for example the configuration shown in FIG. 5, in which this coupling configuration comprises a step arranged on the inner face of the second mouth 12, and in which the edge of the second mouth is at a distance from this step intended to remain in contact with the body of the bottle 21 , this step pressing against the flange of the neck 25, producing a tight seal.

This dispensing device 10 is also provided so that it can be turned over and coupled to the body of the bottle 21, by inserting the crown 22 and the upper part of the body of the bottle 21 through the first mouth 11 until this crown 22 passes through. the second mouth 12 and mates there in the same manner described above, but in the inverted position, by means of this annular groove 15 and the neck flange 25. The result of this inverted coupling of the dispensing device 10 on the body of the bottle 21 is shown in FIG. 3, and corresponds to a transport and storage position of the dispensing device.

In this position, its tubular wall 13 of the dispensing device 10 remains superimposed and adjacent to the body of the bottle 21, parallel to the latter, and the crown 22 and the cap 24 protrude from the dispensing device 10 through the second mouth 12, in therefore remaining accessible.
