Description

In letzter Zeit ist in vielen Ländern ein Trend feststellbar, Getränkeflaschen anstatt aus Glas aus Kunststoff herzustellen, wobei vorzugsweise ein Kunststoff verwendet wird, der unter der Abkürzung PET bekannt ist. Dabei kommen immer häufiger Flaschen von 1,5 Litern auf den Markt. Solche grossen Flaschen können, insbesondere für alte Menschen oder für Kinder, beim Einschenken problematisch werden, nicht nur infolge des Gewichtes, sondern auch dadurch, dass die Kunststoffwand relativ dünn ist und die Flasche dann zusammengedrückt wird. Andererseits bedingt die Handhabung einer solchen Flasche eine gewisse Mindeststärke der Wand, da sie sonst zu leicht eindrückbar ist und zerreissen kann. Recently there has been a trend in many countries Beverage bottles instead of making plastic from glass, preferably a plastic is used known as PET. Come here 1.5 liter bottles on the market. Such large bottles, especially for the elderly or for children, become problematic when pouring out, not only because of the weight, but also because the plastic wall is relatively thin and then the bottle is squeezed. On the other hand, the handling requires such a bottle a certain minimum thickness of the wall, because otherwise it is too easy to push in and tear.

Die Schrift US-A-4,273,246 beschreibt einen L-förmigen Handgriff für Getränkeflaschen. Der kürzere Schenkel des Griffs wird von oben her über die Oeffnung der Flasche geschoben und mit dem Flaschenhals verbunden. Der längere Schenkel dient als Griffteil. Sein freies Ende kontaktiert die Seitenwand der Flasche und ist an dieser fixierbar. In einer speziellen Ausführung des Handgriffs ist dieser mittels eines Innengewindes auf das Schraubgewinde der Flasche aufschraubbar und besitzt ein Aussengewinde, auf welches der Schraubverschluss der Flasche zum Verschliessen derselben aufschraubbar ist.US-A-4,273,246 describes an L-shaped one Handle for beverage bottles. The shorter leg of the Griffs is from above over the opening of the bottle pushed and connected to the bottle neck. The longer one Leg serves as a handle part. His free end contacted the side wall of the bottle and can be fixed to it. In A special version of the handle is this by means of an internal thread on the screw thread of the Bottle can be screwed on and has an external thread which the screw cap of the bottle to close the same can be screwed on.

Aus der Schrift US-A-4,456,135 ist ein weiterer Handgriff für Getränkeflaschen bekannt. Dieser Handgriff arbeitet mit einem Kragen am Hals der Flasche zusammen. Er lässt sich mit seiner kreisförmigen Oeffnung von oben her über diesen Kragen schieben und anschliessend durch Verschieben oder Drehen eines Schiebeelementes mit diesem Kragen verklemmen. In einer der gezeigten Ausführungen bleibt das Schraubgewinde der Flasche hierbei frei, so dass die Flasche mit ihrem Originalverschluss weiterhin verschliessbar ist.Another handle is known from the document US-A-4,456,135 known for beverage bottles. This handle works with a collar around the neck of the bottle. He lets himself with its circular opening from above over it Slide the collar and then by moving or Clamp the rotating element with this collar. This remains in one of the versions shown Screw thread of the bottle is free, so that the Bottle with its original cap continues is lockable.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es die Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen verbesserten Handgriff für Getränkeflaschen anzugeben. Dieser soll am Kragen des Flaschenhalses fixierbar sein, wobei das Flaschengewinde frei zugänglich bleibt. Die Herstellung und Handhabung des Handgriffes soll einfach und unproblematisch sein.Based on this state of the art, it is the task the invention, an improved handle for Specify beverage bottles.

Zum Festmachen des Handgriffes an der Flasche besitzt dessen Befestigungsvorrichtung einen Schieber 19, der von einer Druckfeder 20 beaufschlagt ist, die den Schieber in den Ring hineindrückt. Der Schieber besitzt griffteilseitig eine Ausnehmung 21 und einen Keil 22. Quer zum Schieber ist ein Querbolzen 23 angeordnet, der an seiner Oberseite, d. h. an der dem Griffteil abgewandten Seite, eine quer zur Längserstreckung des Bolzens verlaufende Nut 24 aufweist, siehe Fig. 7. Die Oberfläche 30 der Nut ist dreigeteilt, mit einer mittleren Fläche 30 A, der sich beidseitig je eine Seitenfläche 30 B und 30 C anschliesst, siehe Fig. 5.To attach the handle to the bottle has it Fastening device a slider 19 by a Compression spring 20 is applied, which the slide in the Push the ring in. The slide has one on the handle part Recess 21 and a wedge 22. Is transverse to the slide a cross bolt 23 arranged on its top, d. H. on the side facing away from the handle part, one across Has longitudinal groove 24 extending groove 24, see Fig. 7. The surface 30 of the groove is divided into three, with an average area of 30 A, which is on both sides a side surface 30 B and 30 C connects, see FIG. 5.

Am Bolzen 23 ist ein Hebel 25 mit einem Stift 26 angeordnet, der in drei verschiedenen Vertiefungen 27 einrasten kann. Der Schieber besitzt ferner an seinem ringseitigen Ende einen Einschnitt 28 zur Aufnahme des Flaschenkragens. In der in Fig. 3 oder 4 gezeichneten Mittelstellung des Hebels 25 ist der Bolzen, bzw. die Nut 24 ausser Eingriff mit dem Keil 22 am Schieber, so dass dieser frei beweglich ist und nach hinten, d. h. dem Griff zu geschoben werden kann, wie dies in den Fig. 3 und 4 mit dem Pfeil 29 angedeutet ist. In dieser Stellung oder in der nachfolgend beschriebenen Stellung gemäss Fig. 6 kann der Handgriff über den Kragen der Flasche gebracht werden. Um den Handgriff, bzw. den Schieber zu verriegeln, wird der Hebel 25 in die Stellung gemäss Fig. 5 geschwenkt. In dieser Stellung ist der Schieber ganz nach vorne in den Ring gestossen und presst den Kragen 5 in die Nut 18 des Ringes, wodurch der Griff an der Flasche gesichert ist. Dabei presst die Seitenfläche 30 B auf den Keil 22.A lever 25 with a pin 26 is arranged on the bolt 23, which snap into three different recesses 27 can. The slide also has on its ring side End an incision 28 for receiving the bottle collar. In the middle position shown in Fig. 3 or 4 Lever 25 is the bolt or the groove 24 out of engagement with the wedge 22 on the slide so that it can move freely is and backwards, d. H. to be pushed towards the handle 3 and 4 with the arrow 29 is indicated. In this position or in the following 6 position of the handle be brought over the collar of the bottle. Around the handle, or to lock the slide, the lever 25 pivoted into the position shown in FIG. 5. In this position the slider is pushed all the way into the ring and presses the collar 5 into the groove 18 of the ring, whereby the handle on the bottle is secured. The presses Side surface 30 B on the wedge 22.

Zum Entfernen des Handgriffes wird der Hebel 25 in die Mittelstellung gebracht und dann wird mittels der Flasche der Riegel 19 zurückgestossen, woraufhin er in dieser zurückgestossenen Stellung durch Umlegen des Hebels in die dritte Stellung gemäss Fig. 6 arretiert wird. Dadurch wird der Ring freigegeben und der Handgriff kann abgezogen werden, und in diesem Zustand auch leicht auf eine andere Flasche aufgelegt werden. Danach genügt es, den Hebel 25 in die Mittelstellung gemäss Fig. 3 zu bringen.To remove the handle, the lever 25 is in the middle position brought and then by means of the bottle Bolt 19 pushed back, whereupon he pushed back in this Position by moving the lever into the third 6 is locked.

Then it is sufficient to move the lever 25 into the Bring middle position according to FIG. 3.

Beim Beispiel gemäss Fig. 7 handelt es sich um eine andere PET-Flasche, während der Handgriff derselbe ist wie im vorhergehenden Beispiel.The example according to FIG. 7 is a different one PET bottle, while the handle is the same as in the previous one Example.

Beim Zusammensetzen der Teile des Befestigungsteils wird zuerst der Schieber in die entsprechende Oeffnung 32 im Griffteil eingeschoben und in eine Stellung gebracht, in der der Querbolzen bei der Ausnehmung 21 am Schieber eingeschoben werden kann, woraufhin die Druckfeder, die durch eine Verschlusskappe 31 mit Presssitz gesichert ist, eingeführt wird.When assembling the parts of the fastener will first the slide in the corresponding opening 32 in Handle part inserted and brought into a position in of the cross bolt inserted in the recess 21 on the slide can be, whereupon the compression spring by a sealing cap 31 is secured with a press fit becomes.

Das zweite Ausführungsbeispiel des Handgriffes ist nicht an die oben beschriebene Ausführung des Befestigungsteils gebunden. Anstatt eines Querbolzens mit Nut kann auch ein anderes Arretierelement verwendet werden, beispielsweise ein Hebel mit Verzahnung, der in eine Verzahnung im Schieber greift, und gegebenenfalls ein Verstellen des Schiebers auch ohne Druckfeder gestattet. The second embodiment of the handle is not on the above-described design of the fastening part bound. Instead of a cross bolt with a groove, a other locking element can be used, for example a toothed lever which is integrated into a toothing in the Slider engages, and if necessary an adjustment of the Slider also allowed without compression spring.

Aus obiger Beschreibung geht klar hervor, dass insbesondere auch dieser Handgriff nicht an die zwei beschriebenen Beispiele von PET-Flaschen gebunden ist, da es zur Anbringung dieses Handgriffes genügt, dass die Flasche oder der Behälter einen Kragen aufweist oder mindestens zwei gegenüberliegende Vorsprünge, um sowohl von der Nut 18 als auch vom Einschnitt 28 umfasst zu werden. Insbesondere können auch Glasflaschen und Glasbehälter oder andere Behälter mit den erfindungsgemässen Handgriffen versehen werden.From the above description it is clear that in particular even this handle does not refer to the two examples described is bound by PET bottles as it is for attachment this handle is enough for the bottle or container has a collar or at least two opposite Projections to both of the groove 18 and Incision 28 to be embraced. In particular, too Glass bottles and glass containers or other containers with the handles according to the invention are provided.

Bei PET-Flaschen können sich dadurch Probleme ergeben, dass sich kohlesäurehaltiges Getränk bei Erwärmung ausdehnt, so dass ein Aufschrauben des Schraubdeckels oft nur mit relativ grossem Kraftaufwand durchführbar ist. Bei entsprechender Ausgestaltung des Ringes 17, bzw. des vorderen Endes des Schieber 19, ist es möglich, den Handgriff in der blockierten Stellung gemäss Fig. 5 zum Oeffnen von Schraubdekkeln zu verwenden. Gegebenenfalls wäre ein zusätzliches Verriegelungselement im Ring anzubringen.Problems can arise with PET bottles that carbonated beverage expands when heated, so that screwing on the screw cap often only with relative great effort is feasible. With appropriate Design of the ring 17, or the front end the slide 19, it is possible to block the handle in the Position according to FIG. 5 for opening screw caps to use. If need be, an additional one Attach locking element in the ring.
