Definitions

  • bottles of 1.5 liters are coming onto the market more and more frequently.
  • Such large bottles can be problematic when pouring, especially for old people or children, not only because of the weight, but also because the plastic wall is relatively thin and the bottle is then compressed.
  • the handling of such a bottle requires a certain minimum thickness of the wall, since otherwise it is too easy to push in and tear.
  • the handle 1 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is a simple embodiment that can be manufactured particularly inexpensively. 1 and 2, the handle 1 is attached to a PET bottle 2, the neck 3 of which has a thread 4, which is closed at the bottom by a collar 5, and a screw cap 6.
  • the handle 1 consists of a fastening part 7 and an arc-shaped grip part 8, the fastening part having an internal thread 9, to which an external thread 10 connects, onto which the screw cap 6 can be screwed.
  • the flange of the handle part is arranged at the level of the internal thread.
  • this handle is very simple: after unscrewing the screw cap, the handle is screwed onto the thread 4 of the bottle neck and the bottle can be closed again with the screw cap, which is screwed onto the external thread 10. Due to the curly design of the grip part 8, the PET bottle can be easily gripped and the beverage can be poured out without having to touch the soft area of the bottle. This means that such a bottle can also be easily grasped and operated by children or the elderly. It goes without saying that neither the shape nor the Material of the handle part, or the handle is essential to the invention and can be realized differently.
  • Attaching such a handle not only facilitates the operation of such a bottle but also means that the wall thickness of the plastic bottle can be reduced, since the bottle no longer has to be squeezed together in order to be able to handle and operate it correctly. This means that only a small amount of plastic can be saved on each bottle, but with the huge amount of plastic bottles in circulation, very large savings can be made both in terms of material and transport, and particularly when it comes to recycling.
  • this handle is primarily intended for plastic bottles and there in particular for larger 1.5 to 3 liter bottles, this handle can of course also be used on other bottles, i.e. H. can be used both on smaller and larger bottles and, of course, also on glass bottles, for example in homes or such facilities where people can be found who have difficulty in correctly grasping objects.
  • the second exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 3-7 is a handle 11 which can be attached to a closed bottle and which also allows handling of a bottle which is still unopened.
  • the handle 11 also has a fastening part 12 and a grip part 13, the fastening part being attached to the collar 5 of the bottle 2.
  • the bottle 2 according to FIG. 5 can be the same as in FIG. 1 or have a different shape than the bottle 14 according to FIG. 7, which in any case must also have a collar 15 so that the handle 11 can be attached to it can.
  • the bottle 14 can also have a screw cap 16.
  • the fastening part 12 contains a ring 17 with an inner groove 18 which is shaped to receive the collar 5 or 15 on the bottle.
  • the diameter of the ring 17 and the depth of the groove 18 are dimensioned such that the ring can easily be placed over the cover and the collar.
  • a fastening device To fix the handle to the bottle, its fastening device has a slide 19 which is acted upon by a compression spring 20 which presses the slide into the ring.
  • the slide has a recess 21 and a wedge on the handle part side.
  • a transverse bolt 23 is arranged transversely to the slide.
  • H. on the side facing away from the handle part, has a groove 24 running transversely to the longitudinal extent of the bolt, see FIG. 7.
  • the surface 30 of the groove is divided into three, with a central surface 30 A, which is adjoined on both sides by a side surface 30 B and 30 C. , see Fig. 5.
  • a lever 25 with a pin 26 is arranged on the bolt 23 and can snap into three different recesses 27.
  • the slider also has an incision 28 on its ring-shaped end for receiving the bottle collar.
  • the bolt or the groove 24 is out of engagement with the wedge 22 on the slide, so that it is freely movable and can be pushed backwards, ie the handle, as this is indicated in FIGS. 3 and 4 with the arrow 29. 6, the handle can be brought over the collar of the bottle.
  • the lever 25 is pivoted into the position according to FIG. 5. In this position the slider is pushed fully forward into the ring and presses the collar 5 into the groove 18 of the ring, whereby the handle is secured to the bottle.
  • the side surface 30 B presses on the wedge 22.
  • the lever 25 is brought into the central position and then the bolt 19 is pushed back by means of the bottle, whereupon it is locked in this pushed-back position by moving the lever into the third position according to FIG. 6. This releases the ring and the handle can be removed, and in this state it can also be easily placed on another bottle. Then it is sufficient to bring the lever 25 into the central position according to FIG. 3.
  • the example according to FIG. 7 is a different PET bottle, while the handle is the same as in the previous example.
  • the slider When assembling the parts of the fastening part, the slider is first inserted into the corresponding opening 32 in the handle part and brought into a position in which the cross bolt can be inserted at the recess 21 on the slider, whereupon the compression spring, which is secured by a cap 31 with a press fit is introduced.
  • the second embodiment of the handle is not tied to the design of the fastening part described above.
  • another locking element can also be used, for example a lever with toothing which engages in a toothing in the slide and, if appropriate, allows the slide to be adjusted even without a compression spring.
  • this handle is not bound to the two examples of PET bottles described, since it is sufficient for the attachment of this handle that the bottle or the container has a collar or at least two opposite projections around both to be encompassed by the groove 18 as well as by the incision 28.
  • glass bottles and glass containers or other containers can also be provided with the handles according to the invention.
