Description
BOTTLE CARRYING APPARATUS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(1) Field of the Invention The invention relates to product packaging. More specifically, the invention relates to a bottle carrying and support mechanism.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(1) Field of the Invention The invention relates to product packaging. More specifically, the invention relates to a bottle carrying and support mechanism.
(2) Backgro~ and Bottles of varying shapes and sizes are ubiquitous in the art. The shapes and sizes of bottles in the soft-drink industry alone is staggering.
Consumers frequently purchase bottled beverages which are best served cold. Unfortunately, the heat transferred from a user's hand through existing bottling to the beverage warms the beverage at a greater rate than would be desirable. Moreover, where such beverage bottles are to be carried, it is somewhat unnatural to retain the bottle in an upright position held in one hand. Some consumers have taken to holding the bottle about the neck with two fingers, and possibly further support from the thumb.
However, the typical taper of a bottle neck requires significant lateral force to retain the bottle between the fingers. Many consumers find it uncomfortable to apply this force over any significant period of time. The amount of lateral force required and corresponding discomfort increases as the volume of the bottle increases. Additionally, condensation on the bottle may make the bottle slippery and even more difficult to retain between two fingers.
Some existing bottles have a circumferential ring around and extending from the neck. While at first blush this ring may appear to facilitate the two finger carry style, it has been found that the solid ring acts against a second segment of the finger. This action causes discomfort and biases the bottle toward slipping off the fingers.
In view of the foregoing, it would be desirable to be able to have a container that could be comfortably carried and permitted reduced heat transfer effects between the user and the contents of the bottle.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF TIDE INVENTION
A container carrying and support device is disclosed. A container having a body portion and a relatively narrow neck portion is provided. A
collar constituted by a plurality of protruding regions separated by less protrusive regions is coupled to the container about its neck. In one embodiment, the container is plastic and the collar is integrally formed with the neck of the bottle. In another embodiment, the collar is integrally formed with either a container cap or a locking ring disposed about the neck of the container. In yet another embodiment of the invention, the collar is formed separately from the container and is provided with a hinge between a pair of protruding regions and a fastener so that it can be manually coupled about the container's neck. The collar, however formed, permits the container to be carried easily with two fingers and reduces the surface area of contact and therefore, heat transfer, between a user and any contents of the container while carried in this manner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Figure I is a perspective view of a container of one embodiment of the invention. Container 10 includes a body portion 12 which tapers into a neck 14, a cap 16, and a locking ring 18 provided to close the container. A
collar 28 is disposed about neck 14 or integrally formed therewith. Collar 28 includes protruding regions 20 and less protrusive regions 22 between each pair of protruding regions. The protruding regions are of a size to comfortably rest on the pads of a pair of adjacent fingers, such as index finger 26 and middle finger 24, as shown. The less protruding region of this embodiment provides a natural seat for the fingers such that the collar does not act against the fingers to cause discomfort or push the container further forward on the fingers, increasing the risk of dropping the container. In one embodiment, the protruding regions extend from the neck between 1 /4"
and 1/2". In this manner, container 10, even when full, may be carried comfortably with two fingers as gravity and friction retain the container 10 atop fingers 26 and 24 without the necessity of applying significant lateral force. It is also possible for the arm of the consumer to remain in a more comfortable dangling position while retaining the container 10 in an upright position. Additionally, because of the minimal surface contact between the user's hand and container 10, heat transfer between the contents of container 10 and the user is minimized. For comfort in carrying, the invention is most suitable for containers having a neck diameter under 1 I / 2".
Figure 2 shows a partial exploded view of the container 10 of Figure 1. In this view, cap 16 has been removed. Cap 16 is supplied with threads 34 to engage a threaded region 32 at the terminus of the neck 14 of container 10. Again, collar 28 which has four protruding regions is shown disposed about the neck of container 10. In this embodiment, when held with two fingers as shown in Figure 1, one protruding region 20 extends rearwardly between the fingers. This protruding region further stabilizes the carrying configuration by reducing the risk of rotational motion causing the container to be unintentionally dislodged from the fingers. This same benefit may be derived from an embodiment having three protruding regions.
Figure 3 is a partial sectional view of one embodiment of the invention. Cap 16 with threads 34 is shown engaging threaded region 32 at the terminus of neck 14. Locking ring 18 is also shown. In this embodiment, the protruding regions 20 of the collar are formed integrally with the neck 14. As used herein, the term "collar" includes a plurality of protruding regions and the less protrusive area between each pair of protruding regions. Thus, even if the protruding regions 20 are integrally formed, e.g. molded from a unitary piece of plastic, with the neck of the bottle, and the less protrusive regions are exactly flush with the neck of the bottle, e.g. no thickening at all between the protrusive regions, such is still deemed a "collar" as used herein. As shown in Figure 3, in one embodiment of the invention, the collar is integrally molded with a neck of the container.
Figure 4 is a partial sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the invention. In Figure 4, the collar having protruding regions 20 is integrally formed with locking ring 18. Figure 5 is a partial sectional view of a second alternative embodiment of the invention. In Figure 5, the collar is formed integrally with cap 16.
Figures 6 and 7 are plan views of embodiments of the invention having three and two protruding regions 20, respectively. Both embodiments provide many of the same advantages discussed above in connection with the four protruding regions embodiment.
Figure 8 is a partial exploded view of an alternative embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, a collar is formed by a pair of protruding regions 60 coupled together with a hinge 62 disposed between them. It is envisioned that hinge 62 may be formed in any conventional way and may amount to merely a thinner plastic region which is flexible enough to permit engagement and disengagement of the collar about a bottle neck. It is also envisioned that more than two protruding regions may be employed in an analogous embodiment of the invention. A
fastener 64 is provided to permit the collar to be coupled about a neck 54 of a container. Fastener 64 may be any of a variety of suitable fasteners. As one example, fastener 64 may be a one-way connector analogous to those in existing cable ties. This would, of course, result in a single use collar.
However, this would provide for easy adjustability to fit varying bottle neck sizes. Other types of fasteners, including without limitation, snapping fasteners, adhesive fasteners, and hook and loop fasteners are all deemed within the scope and contemplation of the invention. The embodiment shown in Figure 8 is particularly well-suited to glass bottles in which integrally forming protruding regions is inefficient or may present a products liability risk. Figure 9 is a perspective view of the embodiment of Figure 8 affixed about a bottle neck shown in phantom lines. Figure 10 is a plan sectional view of the embodiment of Figure 8 affixed about the bottle neck.
Depending on the size and volume of the container, the various embodiments of the invention may permit a user to carry four containers easily with one hand without any other carrying apparatus. The fact that most of the weight of the container is supported on the upper surface of the fingers rather than through lateral force applied by squeezing the fingers together permits users to carry greater weights with two fingers than would be possible otherwise.
Notably, in addition to permitting easy carrying of the container, all of the embodiments of the invention as disclosed above would permit an alternative display of the containers at retail establishments. Particularly, rather than requiring a shelf space, two-tined wire hangers might be employed to display the containers. Referring again to Figure I, rather than fingers engaging opposing protruding regions as shown, the tines of the wire hanger would engage those protruding regions 20 and the container 10 would rest fully supported on those regions. In some cases, this type of display mechanism may significantly reduce the cost to vendors and/or space required to display the containers for sale. Additionally, portability of such displays is likely to be increased.
One additional feature of some embodiments of the invention is that they permit a user to drink from a beverage bottle easily with one hand without regrasping the bottle from the carrying position. When a beverage bottle is carried between two fingers such as the middle and index fingers, the user need only extend their ring and little finger to be against the bottle.
Then by applying upward pressure on the protruding region with the index finger, a slight rotation of the wrist moves the bottle into a drinking position in which the middle, ring and little fingers serve as a platform for the bottle. This method of drinking is largely impossible without the protruding regions of some embodiments of the invention.
In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes can be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense. Therefore, the scope of the invention should be limited only by the appended claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Figure I is a perspective view of a container of one embodiment of the invention. Container 10 includes a body portion 12 which tapers into a neck 14, a cap 16, and a locking ring 18 provided to close the container. A
collar 28 is disposed about neck 14 or integrally formed therewith. Collar 28 includes protruding regions 20 and less protrusive regions 22 between each pair of protruding regions. The protruding regions are of a size to comfortably rest on the pads of a pair of adjacent fingers, such as index finger 26 and middle finger 24, as shown. The less protruding region of this embodiment provides a natural seat for the fingers such that the collar does not act against the fingers to cause discomfort or push the container further forward on the fingers, increasing the risk of dropping the container. In one embodiment, the protruding regions extend from the neck between 1 /4"
and 1/2". In this manner, container 10, even when full, may be carried comfortably with two fingers as gravity and friction retain the container 10 atop fingers 26 and 24 without the necessity of applying significant lateral force. It is also possible for the arm of the consumer to remain in a more comfortable dangling position while retaining the container 10 in an upright position. Additionally, because of the minimal surface contact between the user's hand and container 10, heat transfer between the contents of container 10 and the user is minimized. For comfort in carrying, the invention is most suitable for containers having a neck diameter under 1 I / 2".
Figure 2 shows a partial exploded view of the container 10 of Figure 1. In this view, cap 16 has been removed. Cap 16 is supplied with threads 34 to engage a threaded region 32 at the terminus of the neck 14 of container 10. Again, collar 28 which has four protruding regions is shown disposed about the neck of container 10. In this embodiment, when held with two fingers as shown in Figure 1, one protruding region 20 extends rearwardly between the fingers. This protruding region further stabilizes the carrying configuration by reducing the risk of rotational motion causing the container to be unintentionally dislodged from the fingers. This same benefit may be derived from an embodiment having three protruding regions.
Figure 3 is a partial sectional view of one embodiment of the invention. Cap 16 with threads 34 is shown engaging threaded region 32 at the terminus of neck 14. Locking ring 18 is also shown. In this embodiment, the protruding regions 20 of the collar are formed integrally with the neck 14. As used herein, the term "collar" includes a plurality of protruding regions and the less protrusive area between each pair of protruding regions. Thus, even if the protruding regions 20 are integrally formed, e.g. molded from a unitary piece of plastic, with the neck of the bottle, and the less protrusive regions are exactly flush with the neck of the bottle, e.g. no thickening at all between the protrusive regions, such is still deemed a "collar" as used herein. As shown in Figure 3, in one embodiment of the invention, the collar is integrally molded with a neck of the container.
Figure 4 is a partial sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the invention. In Figure 4, the collar having protruding regions 20 is integrally formed with locking ring 18. Figure 5 is a partial sectional view of a second alternative embodiment of the invention. In Figure 5, the collar is formed integrally with cap 16.
Figures 6 and 7 are plan views of embodiments of the invention having three and two protruding regions 20, respectively. Both embodiments provide many of the same advantages discussed above in connection with the four protruding regions embodiment.
Figure 8 is a partial exploded view of an alternative embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, a collar is formed by a pair of protruding regions 60 coupled together with a hinge 62 disposed between them. It is envisioned that hinge 62 may be formed in any conventional way and may amount to merely a thinner plastic region which is flexible enough to permit engagement and disengagement of the collar about a bottle neck. It is also envisioned that more than two protruding regions may be employed in an analogous embodiment of the invention. A
fastener 64 is provided to permit the collar to be coupled about a neck 54 of a container. Fastener 64 may be any of a variety of suitable fasteners. As one example, fastener 64 may be a one-way connector analogous to those in existing cable ties. This would, of course, result in a single use collar.
However, this would provide for easy adjustability to fit varying bottle neck sizes. Other types of fasteners, including without limitation, snapping fasteners, adhesive fasteners, and hook and loop fasteners are all deemed within the scope and contemplation of the invention. The embodiment shown in Figure 8 is particularly well-suited to glass bottles in which integrally forming protruding regions is inefficient or may present a products liability risk. Figure 9 is a perspective view of the embodiment of Figure 8 affixed about a bottle neck shown in phantom lines. Figure 10 is a plan sectional view of the embodiment of Figure 8 affixed about the bottle neck.
Depending on the size and volume of the container, the various embodiments of the invention may permit a user to carry four containers easily with one hand without any other carrying apparatus. The fact that most of the weight of the container is supported on the upper surface of the fingers rather than through lateral force applied by squeezing the fingers together permits users to carry greater weights with two fingers than would be possible otherwise.
Notably, in addition to permitting easy carrying of the container, all of the embodiments of the invention as disclosed above would permit an alternative display of the containers at retail establishments. Particularly, rather than requiring a shelf space, two-tined wire hangers might be employed to display the containers. Referring again to Figure I, rather than fingers engaging opposing protruding regions as shown, the tines of the wire hanger would engage those protruding regions 20 and the container 10 would rest fully supported on those regions. In some cases, this type of display mechanism may significantly reduce the cost to vendors and/or space required to display the containers for sale. Additionally, portability of such displays is likely to be increased.

It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes can be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.
