Abstract

In order to facilitate purchasing, storing and using liquids, such as red wine and white wine which are often used in pairs, the bottle unit consists of two bottles (1, 2) which are connected to one another laterally to form a fixed unit. The two pouring openings (3, 4) of these two bottles (1, 2) are arranged laterally directly adjacently in the same plane and can be closed with the aid of a single screw closure cap (6) which covers these two pouring openings (3, 4) simultaneously. <IMAGE>

Description

Zur Einnahme von Mahlzeiten werden Flüssigkeiten wie zum Beispiel Rot- und Weisswein sowie Essig und Oel bisher immer voneinander unabhängig eingekauft und gelagert, obwohl sie nachher bei ihrem Einsatz unmittelbar nacheinander verwendet werden.Up to now, liquids such as red and white wine, as well as vinegar and oil, have always been bought and stored independently of one another, although they are used immediately after one another when they are used.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Schaffung einer Flascheneinheit, welche den Einkauf, die Lagerung sowie den Einsatz von solchen meist paarweise zum Einsatz gelangenden Flüssigkeiten erleichtert.The object of the present invention is to create a bottle unit which facilitates the purchase, storage and use of such liquids, which are usually used in pairs.

Diese Aufgabe wird mittels einer Flascheneinheit nach Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by means of a bottle unit according to claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemässen Flascheneinheit sind Gegenstand der Ansprüche 2 bis 8.Advantageous further developments of the bottle unit according to the invention are the subject of claims 2 to 8.

Nachstehend wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine teilweise im Schnitt dargestellte Frontalansicht einer ersten beispielsweisen Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemässen Doppelflascheneinheit,
  • Fig. 2 einen Schnitt längs der Linie II-II in Figur 1;
  • Fig. 3 einen Schnitt längs der Linie III-III in Figur 1;
  • Fig. 4 eine Seitenansicht in Richtung des Pfeiles A in Figur 1 gesehen; und
  • Fig. 5 eine Ansicht analog Figur 1 einer zweiten beispielsweisen Ausführungsform einer erfinderungsgemässen Doppelflascheneinheit.
The invention is explained below using the drawing, for example. Show it:
  • 1 is a partially sectioned frontal view of a first exemplary embodiment of a double bottle unit according to the invention,
  • Figure 2 is a section along the line II-II in Figure 1;
  • 3 shows a section along the line III-III in FIG. 1;
  • 4 is a side view in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1; and
  • 5 shows a view analogous to FIG. 1 of a second exemplary embodiment of a double bottle unit according to the invention.

Wie aus den Figuren 1 bis 4 ersichtlich, besteht die in diesen Figuren dargestellte Flascheneinheit aus zwei seitlich miteinander zu einer festen Einheit verbundenen Flaschen 1 und 2, das heisst aus einem einzigen gemeinsamen Glaskörper.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 4, the bottle unit shown in these figures consists of two bottles 1 and 2 connected laterally to one another to form a fixed unit, that is to say from a single common glass body.

Die in einer gemeinsamen Ebene sich befindenden Ausgussöffnungen 3 und 4 dieser beiden Flaschen 1 und 2 sind innerhalb einem gemeinsamen zylindrischen Flaschenteil 5 seitlich unmittelbar nebeneinander angeordnet, so dass sie mit Hilfe eines einzigen, diese Ausgussöffnungen 3 und 4 gemeinsam überdeckenden Verschlussdeckels 6 verschliessbar sind.The pouring openings 3 and 4 of these two bottles 1 and 2, which are located in a common plane, are arranged laterally directly next to one another within a common cylindrical bottle part 5, so that they can be closed with the aid of a single closure cover 6 which covers these pouring openings 3 and 4 together.

Der Verschlussdeckel 6 ist dabei als Schraubdeckel ausgebildet und der gemeinsame zylindrische Flaschenteil 5 auf seiner Aussenseite mit einem für diesen Schraubdeckel 6 bestimmten Aussengewinde 7 versehen.The closure cap 6 is designed as a screw cap and the common cylindrical bottle part 5 is provided on its outside with an external thread 7 intended for this screw cap 6.

Der Schraubdeckel 6 ist auf seiner gegen die Ausgussöffnungen 3 und 4 zu gewandten Innenseite mit einer Abdichtungsscheibe 8 versehen, welche in der Verschliessposition des Schraubdeckels 6 gleichzeitig auf beiden Ausgussöffnungen 3 und 4 der beiden miteinander verbundenen Flaschen 1 und 2 abdichtend aufliegt.The screw cap 6 is provided on its inner side facing the pouring openings 3 and 4 with a sealing washer 8 which, in the closed position of the screw cap 6, lies sealingly on both pouring openings 3 and 4 of the two bottles 1 and 2 connected to one another.

Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, dass zum Beispiel die Flasche 1 Weisswein und die Flasche 2 Rotwein enthält.In this way it is possible that, for example, the bottle contains 1 white wine and the bottle 2 contains red wine.

Will man nun zuerst vom in der Flasche 1 sich befindenden Weisswein konsumieren, dann löst man zuerst den Schraubdeckel 6 und steckt den zusammen mit der Flascheneinheit 1, 2 gelieferten losen Zapfen 9 in die Ausgussöffnung 4 der Flasche 2, worauf der Weisswein ohne Schwierigkeiten für sich allein ausgeschenkt werden kann. Will man vom Rotwein konsumieren, dann wird der lose Zapfen 9 analog in die Ausgussöffnung 3 gesteckt, sofern sich in der Flasche 1 noch Weisswein befindet.If you now want to consume the white wine in the bottle 1 first, you first loosen the screw cap 6 and insert the loose pin 9 supplied with the bottle unit 1, 2 into the pouring opening 4 of the bottle 2, whereupon the white wine can be used without difficulty can be served alone. If you want to consume the red wine, then the loose pin 9 is inserted into the pouring opening 3, provided there is still white wine in the bottle 1.

Bei der in Figur 5 dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Ausgussöffnungen 3 und 4 der Flaschen 1 und 2 mit Hilfe je eines Zapfens 10 bzw. 11 abdichtend verschlossen.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the pouring openings 3 and 4 of the bottles 1 and 2 are sealed with the aid of a pin 10 and 11, respectively.

Um ein Herausnehmen der relativ kleinen Zapfen 10 bzw. 11 von Hand zu ermöglichen sind diese Zapfen nicht stark in die Ausgussöffnungen 3 bzw. 4 hineingedrückt. Deswegen sind diese Zapfen 10, 11 mit Hilfe des Verschlussdeckels 6 in dessen Verschliessposition (dargestellt ) durch Anlage des letzteren an den austrittsseitigen freien Stirnseiten 10a und 11a der Zapfen 10 und 11 in ihrer eingezeichneten Verschliesslage gegen ein Herausfallen absolut sicher arretiert.In order to enable the relatively small pegs 10 and 11 to be removed by hand, these pegs are not strongly pressed into the pouring openings 3 or 4. Therefore, these pins 10, 11 are locked with the aid of the closure cover 6 in its closed position (shown) by abutment of the latter on the outlet-side free end faces 10a and 11a of the pins 10 and 11 in their shown closed position against falling out.
