Abstract

A saturated polyester resin-made high pressure bottle with a spherical bottom is provided at its bottom with a standing leg member. This bottle body (1) has a reduced diameter portion (5a) formed at its lower part and the bottom (6) of the bottle body is formed in a spherical configuration. Fitted on the reduced diameter portion (5a) is a standing leg member (7) which is formed with peripheral walls (8, 9) and bottle holder (10).

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à une bouteille de grandes dimensions en résine polyester saturée, destinée à être remplie, sous forte pression, d'un liquide tel qu'une boisson carbonatée, et elle vise plus spécialement une bouteille d'un tel type, capable de se tenir debout, même si son fond est de forme sphérique.The present invention relates to a large bottle of saturated polyester resin, intended to be filled, under high pressure, with a liquid such as a carbonated drink, and more specifically relates to a bottle of such a type, capable to stand upright, even if its bottom is spherical.

Il est courant d'utiliser des bouteilles en verre de grandes dimensions, que l'on remplit sous une pression élevée et dont le contenu est destiné à être utilisé par petites quantités. Toutefois, en raison des grandes dimensions de la bouteille, le poids du liquide dont elle est remplie est très grand et, de plus, la bouteille doit avoir une très grande épaisseur pour résister à la pression élevée à laquelle est soumis son contenu. Il en résulte que le poids total de la bouteille remplie est très grand, ce qui rend peu commode le maniement de la bouteille et augmente le prix de son transport.It is common to use large glass bottles, which are filled under high pressure and whose contents are intended to be used in small quantities. However, due to the large dimensions of the bottle, the weight of the liquid with which it is filled is very large and, moreover, the bottle must have a very large thickness in order to withstand the high pressure to which its contents are subjected. As a result, the total weight of the filled bottle is very large, which makes it inconvenient to handle the bottle and increases the cost of transporting it.

Dans le prix des boissons carbonatées indiquées plus haut, le quotient du prix de stockage et du transport par rapport aux autres frais est beaucoup plus élevé que pour d'autres denrées. La bouteille de grandes dimensions mentionnée ci-dessus vise à diminuer le prix du stockage, mais sa possibilité de transport est limitée. En vue de remédier à un tel inconvénient, il a déjà été imaginé une bouteille de grandes dimensions, en résine synthétique, étirée suivant deux axes, comportant un col incliné, une partie principale cylindrique et un fond en forme de calotte sphérique convexe vers le bas. Si l'on moule une bouteille en lui donnant une telle forme, l'expérience confirme que cette bouteille est en mesure de supporter une forte pression intérieure, même si elle est mince et légère. Mais, du fait que si son fond a une telle forme sphérique convexe vers le bas, une telle bouteille ne peut pas se tenir debout elle-même, il est indispensable de lui fixer un support.In the price of carbonated drinks indicated above, the quotient of the price of storage and transport compared to other costs is much higher than for other commodities. The large bottle mentioned above aims to reduce the cost of storage, but its possibility of transport is limited. In order to remedy such a drawback, a bottle of large dimensions, made of synthetic resin, stretched along two axes, has already been imagined, comprising an inclined neck, a cylindrical main part and a bottom in the shape of a convex spherical cap downwards. . If we mold a bottle by giving it such a shape, experience confirms that this bottle is able to withstand strong internal pressure, even if it is thin and light. But, since its bottom has such a spherical shape which is convex downwards, such a bottle cannot stand itself, it is essential to fix a support for it.

On connaît déjà, par le document FR-A-2 276 998, un récipient avec embase correspondant au préambule de la revendication 1. L'embase comprend un panneau de fond, un anneau pour la liaison de l'embase et du récipient et un canal support annulaire reliant le panneau de fond à l'anneau de liaison.Document FR-A-2 276 998 already discloses a container with base corresponding to the preamble of claim 1. The base comprises a bottom panel, a ring for connecting the base and the container and a annular support channel connecting the bottom panel to the connecting ring.

Cependant, cette embase est de forme relativement complexe, donc d'un coût de réalisation relativement élevé. - Elle présente en outre un collier de liaison qui pénètre dans une gorge réalisée dans le récipient. L'embase n'est donc pas d'un maniement facile. L'anneau de liaison comporte une paroi périphérique extérieure inclinée par rapport à la verticale et bombée vers l'extérieur, de sorte qu'elle a tendance à s'écarter sous l'effet du poids du récipient.However, this base is of relatively complex shape, therefore of a relatively high production cost. - It also has a connecting collar which enters a groove made in the container. The base is therefore not easy to handle. The connecting ring has an outer peripheral wall inclined relative to the vertical and curved outward, so that it tends to move apart under the effect of the weight of the container.

La présente invention a pour objet un support pour bouteille satisfaisant du point de vue de son prix de revient, d'un maniement facile de la bouteille et de la résistance sous l'effet du poids élevé de la bouteille.The subject of the present invention is a support for a bottle that is satisfactory from the point of view of its cost price, of easy handling of the bottle and of resistance under the effect of the high weight of the bottle.

L'objet de la présente invention est de maintenir fermement en position droite une bouteille dont le fond est de forme sphérique pour pouvoir supporter une charge soumise à une pression élevée, en fixant un support à cette bouteille. La paroi périphérique verticale de ce support et la partie qui retient le fond de la bouteille sont d'un seul tenant ; la surface de l'extrémité inférieure de cette paroi périphérique verticale est élargie de manière à assurer le maintien de la bouteille, ou bien cette paroi comporte des nervures destinées à augmenter sa résistance.The object of the present invention is to firmly hold in a straight position a bottle whose bottom is spherical in shape to be able to support a load subjected to high pressure, by fixing a support to this bottle. The vertical peripheral wall of this support and the part which retains the bottom of the bottle are in one piece; the surface of the lower end of this vertical peripheral wall is widened so as to maintain the bottle, or else this wall has ribs intended to increase its resistance.

Conformément à l'invention, cet objet est atteint par le fait que la paroi périphérique intérieure touche la surface intérieure de la paroi périphérique extérieure adjacente à l'extrémité inférieure de la partie cylindrique de la bouteille.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the fact that the inner peripheral wall touches the inner surface of the outer peripheral wall adjacent to the lower end of the cylindrical part of the bottle.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre, faite en regard des dessins annexés et donnant, à titre explicatif mais nullement limitatif, diverses formes de réalisation.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows, given with reference to the appended drawings and giving, by way of explanation but in no way limiting, various embodiments.

On donne à la bouteille en résine polyester saturée selon l'invention de grandes dimensions en étirant suivant deux axes une paraison moulée par injection. Le corps 1 de la bouteille est muni d'un goulot 2 comportant des filets 3 servant à fixer un bouchon. Plus bas que ce goulot, se trouve un col incliné 4, au-dessous duquel se trouve une partie cylindrique 5. L'extrémité inférieure de cette partie cylindrique 5 est fermée par une paroi de fond 6 ayant la forme d'une calotte sphérique convexe vers le bas. La partie inférieure de cette partie cylindrique 5 constitue une partie 5a de plus petit diamètre, et le gradin 5b situé à l'extrémité extérieure de cette partie 5a permet de retenir l'extrémité supérieure d'un support de bouteille, que l'on décrira ci-après.The bottle in saturated polyester resin according to the invention is given large dimensions by stretching along two axes an injection molded parison. The body 1 of the bottle is provided with a neck 2 comprising threads 3 used to fix a stopper. Lower than this neck is an inclined neck 4, below which is a cylindrical part 5. The lower end of this cylindrical part 5 is closed by a bottom wall 6 having the shape of a convex spherical cap. down. The lower part of this cylindrical part 5 constitutes a part 5a of smaller diameter, and the step 5b located at the outer end of this part 5a makes it possible to retain the upper end of a bottle support, which will be described below.

Ce support de bouteille 7 est façonné suivant un cylindre muni d'un fond, dont la paroi périphérique supérieure 8 s'adapte fermement sur la partie de plus petit diamètre 5a, de telle manière que l'extrémité supérieure de cette paroi périphérique 8 soit retenue dans la partie en gradins 5b de la bouteille. La partie inférieure 9 de la paroi périphérique du support 7 est repliée de telle manière que sa ligne de pliage soit contenue dans un plan. La partie 10 du support 7 destinée à recevoir le fond de la bouteille est de forme sphérique et convexe vers le bas pour recevoir la paroi de fond 6 de la bouteille, cette partie 10 du support étant telle que son centre se trouve dans le plan de l'extrémité inférieure de la paroi périphérique inférieure 9.This bottle support 7 is shaped according to a cylinder provided with a bottom, the upper peripheral wall 8 of which fits firmly on the part of smaller diameter 5a, so that the upper end of this peripheral wall 8 is retained in the stepped part 5b of the bottle. The lower part 9 of the wall device of the support 7 is folded so that its fold line is contained in a plane. The part 10 of the support 7 intended to receive the bottom of the bottle is spherical and convex downwards to receive the bottom wall 6 of the bottle, this part 10 of the support being such that its center is in the plane of the lower end of the lower peripheral wall 9.

Comme on le voit plus nettement sur la figure 2, le support 7 est un cylindre muni d'un fond, constitué par une partie 10' de forme sphérique, destinée à recevoir le fond d'une bouteille, par une paroi périphérique supérieure 8' d'un diamètre plus grand et par une paroi périphérique inférieure 9' d'un diamètre plus petit. Ce support 7 ainsi constitué prend la forme d'une pièce moulée mince d'un seul tenant, par moulage sous vide d'une feuille en une résine synthétique appropriée. De façon plus précise, on plie la pièce moulée ainsi obtenue vers l'intérieur, suivant le bord supérieur de la petite paroi périphérique inférieure 9', puis on replie cette pièce moulée en direction de l'extérieur, suivant le pourtour de la partie 10' destinée à recevoir le fond d'une bouteille.As can be seen more clearly in FIG. 2, the support 7 is a cylinder provided with a bottom, constituted by a part 10 'of spherical shape, intended to receive the bottom of a bottle, by an upper peripheral wall 8' of a larger diameter and by a lower peripheral wall 9 'of a smaller diameter. This support 7 thus formed takes the form of a thin molded piece in one piece, by vacuum molding of a sheet of a suitable synthetic resin. More precisely, the molded part thus folded is folded inwards, along the upper edge of the small lower peripheral wall 9 ′, then this molded part is folded towards the outside, along the periphery of the part 10 'intended to receive the bottom of a bottle.

La bouteille en résine polyester saturée ainsi réalisée peut avoir d'excellentes propriétés mécaniques même si elle est mince, du fait qu'elle est obtenue par moulage suivant le procédé d'étirage suivant deux axes.The saturated polyester resin bottle thus produced can have excellent mechanical properties even if it is thin, because it is obtained by molding according to the drawing process along two axes.

Une telle bouteille peut également supporter de fortes pressions, étant donné qu'elle comporte un col incliné 4, une partie cylindrique 5 et une paroi inférieure 6 en forme de calotte sphérique convexe vers le bas. En outre, étant donné qu'en dépit de sa paroi inférieure 6, en forme de calotte sphérique vers le bas, la bouteille est retenue par le support 7, elle peut demeurer en position bien droite, ce qui permet de stocker de façon satisfaisante une telle bouteille remplie d'un liquide. De plus, du fait que la partie périphérique inférieure du support 7 est une paroi double, un tel support peut être suffisamment résistant pour supporter la charge d'une bouteille remplie d'un liquide.Such a bottle can also withstand high pressures, since it has an inclined neck 4, a cylindrical part 5 and a bottom wall 6 in the form of a convex downwardly domed cap. In addition, given that despite its lower wall 6, in the form of a spherical cap downwards, the bottle is retained by the support 7, it can remain in a very upright position, which makes it possible to store satisfactorily a such a bottle filled with a liquid. In addition, because the lower peripheral part of the support 7 is a double wall, such a support can be strong enough to support the load of a bottle filled with a liquid.

En outre, étant donné que le support 7 est obtenu par moulage, sous la forme d'une pièce mince d'un seul tenant, d'une résine polyester saturée, la quantité de matériau moulé est si faible et la construction du support est si simple que son prix de revient est faible. Enfin, ce qui représente un grand avantage, du fait que l'ensemble de la bouteille peut être léger au point de rendre négligeable le prix du transport, une telle bouteille convient remarquablement pour des liquides soumis à une forte pression, mais de faible valeur, comme par exemple les boissons carbonatées.Furthermore, since the support 7 is obtained by molding, in the form of a thin piece in one piece, of a saturated polyester resin, the amount of molded material is so small and the construction of the support is so simple that its cost price is low. Finally, which represents a great advantage, owing to the fact that the whole of the bottle can be light to the point of making the transport price negligible, such a bottle is remarkably suitable for liquids subjected to high pressure, but of low value, like carbonated drinks for example.

Selon une variante, on peut prévoir une saillie 12 de forme annulaire (fig. 3) sur le côté intérieur du bord supérieur de la paroi périphérique 8 du support 7, ou bien une saillie 13, également de forme annulaire mais creuse, au même endroit de la paroi 8 (fig. 4), et prévoir également, à l'extrémité supérieure de la partie cylindrique de petit diamètre 5a de la bouteille, une rainure annulaire 14, correspondant soit à la saillie 12, soit à- la saillie 13. Avec une telle forme de réalisation, étant donné que la saillie annulaire 12 ou la saillie annulaire, mais creuse, 13, s'enfonce d'un coup sec dans la rainure annulaire correspondante 14, le support 7 se trouve fixé plus fermement à la bouteille et la partie cylindrique de cette bouteille se trouve renforcée.Alternatively, one can provide a projection 12 of annular shape (Fig. 3) on the inner side of the upper edge of the peripheral wall 8 of the support 7, or a projection 13, also of annular shape but hollow, in the same place of the wall 8 (fig. 4), and also provide, at the upper end of the small-diameter cylindrical part 5a of the bottle, an annular groove 14, corresponding either to the projection 12, or to the projection 13. With such an embodiment, since the annular projection 12 or the annular, but hollow projection, 13, snaps into the corresponding annular groove 14, the support 7 is more firmly attached to the bottle and the cylindrical part of this bottle is reinforced.

On décrira ci-après, en se reportant à la figure 5, une forme de réalisation selon laquelle la surface de contact avec le sol est plus grande. Dans ce nouvel exemple, la partie retournée vers le haut 9a' de la paroi périphérique inférieure 9 du support 7 délimite, avec la partie extérieure 9b de la paroi périphérique 9, un espace A qui donne une plus grande largeur à l'assise 9c de cette paroi périphérique inférieure 9. En outre, l'extrémité supérieure de la partie redressée 9a' touche la partie extérieure 9b de la paroi périphérique inférieure, tandis que la partie 10' en forme de calotte sphérique, destinée à recevoir le fond d'une bouteille et qui se raccorde sur cette partie retournée 9a', a son centre situé plus haut que l'extrémité inférieure de la paroi périphérique 9.There will be described below, with reference to FIG. 5, an embodiment according to which the contact surface with the ground is larger. In this new example, the part turned upwards 9a ′ of the lower peripheral wall 9 of the support 7 delimits, with the external part 9b of the peripheral wall 9, a space A which gives greater width to the seat 9c of this lower peripheral wall 9. In addition, the upper end of the straightened part 9a 'touches the outer part 9b of the lower peripheral wall, while the part 10' in the form of a spherical cap, intended to receive the bottom of a bottle and which is connected to this inverted part 9a ′, at its center located higher than the lower end of the peripheral wall 9.

Dans la forme de réalisation que l'on a décrite ci-dessus, l'assise 9c du support de bouteille présente une grande surface de contact avec le sol, ce qui permet de maintenir la bouteille bien stable en position droite, même si la partie 10' du support servant à retenir le fond de cette bouteille ne touche pas la surface sur laquelle repose ce support. De plus, même si le chariot ou la table sur lequel on pose la bouteille est soumis à des vibrations, ces dernières ne se transmettent à la bouteille que par la paroi périphérique inférieure 9 qui comporte l'espace A, de telle sorte que le support 7 selon cette forme de réalisation peut avoir un effet amortisseur.In the embodiment which has been described above, the seat 9c of the bottle support has a large contact surface with the ground, which makes it possible to keep the bottle very stable in an upright position, even if the part 10 'of the support serving to retain the bottom of this bottle does not touch the surface on which this support rests. In addition, even if the carriage or the table on which the bottle is placed is subjected to vibrations, the latter are transmitted to the bottle only through the lower peripheral wall 9 which comprises the space A, so that the support 7 according to this embodiment can have a damping effect.
