Description

ARRANGEMENT APPLIED ON A BOTTLE SUPPORT WITH WEIGHT AND IDENTIFICATION SENSOR

1. The present object refers to a thermal case to store the bottle, developed in plastic and similar material, which receives weight and presence sensors inside to identify when the liquid/content in the bottle is running out. The sensors are connected to LED beacons that light up to let you know that the bottle needs to be changed. It also has a connection to an application or software that indicates, in real time, the amount of liquid to waiters and supervisors, so that they know the exact moment to put the drink back on the consumer's table.

2. This model is intended to facilitate communication between professionals and consumers in bars, restaurants, cafeterias and any place where bottled beverages such as beers and the like are consumed. The support in question involves the bottle and informs the waiter or supervisor, in real time, about the need for an exchange, preventing the consumer from having to turn it on or even waiting to be served.

3. The LED indicator lights (in different colors) the entire body of the case in a stylized way so that the waiter or supervisor can see the identification, even from a distance. In addition, if and/or the establishment prefers, the identification can be done through a system/software or application. In this case, the case is connected to the establishment's software and when the drink is finished, the person responsible will receive a notification that the bottle must be replaced.

4. The case can receive different stylizations in its external faces, messages, advertisements and promotional sayings. LED signs can be made up of one or more LED lamps, in different colors; it also has a trigger boot if the user prefers to turn it on or off manually.

• • Os suportes ou cases térmicos de garrafas convencionais armazenam uma ou mais garrafas e são estilizados externamente, mas o fato de envolver e “esconder” a garrafa evita que o usuário (e até mesmo o garçom) acompanhe a quantidade de líquido/conteúdo presente em seu interior, desta forma não saberá quando chegar ao fim;
• • Normalmente tanto o consumidor quanto o garçom são pegos de surpresa, ao querer encher o seu copo o consumidor verifica que o líquido chegou ao fim e neste momento precisa acionar o garçom para substituir a garrafa;
• • Muitas vezes a substituição demora mais tempo do que o esperado, causando transtornos e constrangimentos, tanto ao consumidor quanto ao atendente e o estabelecimento;
• • Muitas vezes o consumidor está em seu momento de lazer e não quer ficar se preocupando com tal situação;
• • Muitos atendentes ficam constantemente retirando a tampa dos protetores para retirar a garrafa do protetor e verificar se o líquido está chegando ao fim, mas o excesso de manuseio pode contribuir para que o líquido esquente rapidamente;
• • Em bares ou restaurantes que estão muito cheios o atendimento pode demorar e consequentemente o consumidor não será atendido da forma devida, causando descontentamento.

5. The thermal case is formed by a support for one or more bottles and glass and the like, which, in addition to keeping the temperature of the bottle/liquid for a longer time, is provided with an internal compartment and anatomic top lid with fitting. Its base, which has an anatomical fit and is protected by side rubbers to prevent water ingress, receives weight and presence sensors to identify the presence and weight of the bottle with the liquid. As the liquid/content is consumed, the bottle becomes lighter and the sensors identify it. When the liquid/content of the bottle reaches the end, the bottle will reach the previously programmed weight (for when it is empty) and at this moment the LED indicators, installed on the bottom/sides of the case, will light up, also sending a message to the software/ internal system to inform you that the bottle must be changed.
Presently observed drawbacks:

• • Conventional bottle holders or thermal cases store one or more bottles and are styled externally, but the fact of wrapping and "hiding" the bottle prevents the user (and even the waiter) from tracking the amount of liquid/content present in your inside, in this way you won't know when to come to an end;
• • Usually both the consumer and the waiter are taken by surprise, when they want to fill their glass, the consumer verifies that the liquid has run out and at this moment he needs to call the waiter to replace the bottle;
• • Often the replacement takes longer than expected, causing inconvenience and embarrassment, both for the consumer, the attendant and the establishment;
• • Consumers are often at their leisure and do not want to worry about such a situation;
• • Many attendants are constantly removing the cap from the protectors to remove the bottle from the protector and check if the liquid is running out, but excessive handling can contribute to the liquid heating up quickly;
• • In bars or restaurants that are very full, service can take a while and, consequently, the consumer will not be served properly, causing discontent.

Solution:

• • Mobilidade;
• • Praticidade;
• • Facilita a comunicação;

6. Thinking about offering a practical, safe and efficient solution, the thermal case model was developed for the bottles in question, which in addition to its main function has internal technology that informs when the liquid/content of the bottle is reaching its end. Also featuring several benefits, which can be highlighted in:

• • Mobility;

State of the art:

7. The models of conventional cases and supports are thermal and have some stylizations, and may vary their formats and configurations according to applications and needs.

8. A single model with an internal sensor was identified, but with a very brief signaling system, which does not suit the consumer or the person in charge/establishment properly.
