Abstract

Automatic pivoting cover for beverage bottles, comprising a retaining ring (1) with pivot point (4) and clamping clips (5) and a movable pivot cover (2), characterized in that the pivotable by gravity pivot cover (2) has designable side surfaces and that the Retaining ring (1) fixed when plugging onto a beverage bottle on the clamping clips (5) below the bottle closure and thereby defines the distance from the pivot cover to the bottle opening.

Description

The invention relates to an automatically pivoting device for covering the bottle opening of a beverage bottle. The device consists of a retaining ring ( 1 ) with fulcrum ( 4 ) and clamping clips ( 5 ) which can be stuck over a bottleneck and fixed below the bottle opening and a movable and shapable pivot cover ( 2 ), which automatically opens when you tilt or drink from a beverage bottle and closes automatically when you turn it off.

State of the art:

The closures of many beverage bottles are not resealable after the first opening.
By removing the original closure, it is usually no longer possible to cover the opening of the beverage bottle, in order to avoid the ingress of dirt and dust particles or insects, such as bees or wasps.
In order to avoid such intrusion, several different devices have become known, with or without gaskets and inserted or permanently attached covers.

Such a device is e.g. in the US Utility Model 1783027A known. This device is attached directly to the neck of the bottle, which has the disadvantage that the contents of the bottle always come into contact with the attachment and that you can not drink directly from the bottle. The pivoting bracket of this device opens automatically when tilting the bottle by the gravity of the counterweight on the bracket. The fact that the bracket pivots in the direction of opening, can not drink directly from the bottle here.

From the GB 1911 24910A Furthermore, a pivot cover is known, which opens when tilting the lid by the gravity of the counterweight. However, this is connected to a solid container and can not be used for beverage bottles. The production is very complicated and expensive.

Task:

The aim of the invention is to provide a clip-on and reusable cover that fixes when mounted on a beverage bottle and prevents ingress of dirt or insects and offers the opportunity without opening a closure or operate to drink or pour out of a beverage bottle. In addition, the cover should be easy to manufacture and the pivotal side surfaces should be designed to perform.

By the features in protection claim 1 These problems are solved.

By the invention it is achieved that in the closed state no penetration of foreign bodies or insects is possible. While tilting the beverage bottle while drinking or pouring the pan cover opens automatically. Because of the fixing under the bottle head retaining ring ( 1 ) there is no contact with the contents of the bottle when drinking. The deeper pivot ( 4 ) leaves the pivot cover ( 2 ) open wide when tilted.

Due to the various types of shaping of the pivot cover, it is possible to print, paste or coat the outer surfaces.

In the figures, the device for covering a beverage bottle opening is shown. The illustrations show the retaining ring ( 1 ), the pivot cover ( 2 ) and a beverage bottle ( 3 ) in open and closed state.

To open the cover needs the beverage bottle ( 3 ) only to be tilted. About the fulcrum ( 4 ) of the retaining ring remains the pivot cover ( 2 ) by the heavier lower part always in the vertical and thereby opens the beverage bottle opening. To close the opening, the bottle needs only be turned off again.

For mounting the swivel bracket ( 2 ) over the Aufsteckclip on the fulcrum ( 4 ) of the retaining ring ( 1 ). The swing cover is placed over a beverage bottle neck until the clamping clips ( 5 ) are fixed below the bottle head. To remove the pivot cover from the beverage bottle ( 3 ) the retaining ring ( 1 ) are pushed back up over the bottleneck.

The shape and design of the side surfaces of the pivot cover may vary be executed and used eg as advertising space.

Claims (9)

Automatic pivoting cover for beverage bottles, comprising a retaining ring (1) with pivot point (4) and clamping clips (5) and a movable pivot cover (2), characterized in that the pivotable by gravity pivot cover (2) has designable side surfaces and that the Retaining ring (1) fixed when plugging onto a beverage bottle on the clamping clips (5) below the bottle closure and thereby defines the distance from the pivot cover to the bottle opening. Cover after Claim 1 characterized in that the clamping clips of the retaining ring (1) are made under bias to compensate for tolerances of different beverage bottles Cover after Claim 1 or 2 characterized in that the retaining ring when pouring or drinking gets no contact with the beverage content. Cover according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the retaining ring can be easily removed for removal over the bottleneck and is reusable for further use. Cover according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the movable pivot cover (2) can be pressed without additional fastening material on the bottom set pivot point of the retaining ring (1). Cover according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the side surfaces of the movable pivot cover to save space lead obliquely along the bottleneck. Cover according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the pivot cover can be designed in various ways by the shape of the side surfaces and by printing, gluing or coating can make optically diverse. Cover according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the height of the pivot point is determined so that the forward and backward rotatable swivel cover when tipping or drinking the bottle opening makes it wide enough and down enough space to hold the bottle leaves. Cover according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that no direct contact with the contents of the bottle is effected by the non-contact cover.
