Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holding element for a folding bottle.
  • Foldable bottles can be compressed in the direction of their longitudinal axis after emptying and thus facilitate transport when empty.
  • a compressible bottle is already known from US Pat. No. 5,240,130 which has a container which comprises the lower end of the bottle.
  • the bottle is formed with a foldable wall that can be compressed so that the axial length of the bottle is shortened and the volume is reduced.
  • the container has an elastic edge which snaps over the upper edge after compression of the bottle and slides radially inwards under pretension. In this way, the bottle is kept compressed by the container after emptying.
  • at least two locking arms are arranged articulated and under tension on the upper part of the container. Snap after squeezing the bottle these arms over their top and keep them squeezed together.
  • This known bottle has the disadvantage that an additional container is required, which increases the amount of waste.
  • the manufacture of the holding devices at the top of the container is very complex.
  • this bottle can then no longer be unfolded.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a holding element for a folding bottle, which is easy to manufacture and requires little additional material, and allows the bottle to be unlocked and refilled.
  • the invention is based on the following basic ideas.
  • the holding element can be placed on the upper part or the bottle neck of a folding bottle and at least partially surrounds the upper part of the folding bottle with at least one wall. At least one projection is provided on the inside of each retaining element wall and can be snapped into an associated nose at the lower end of the folding bottle. In the emptied state, the folding bottle is then kept in the fully compressed state, which enables space-saving transport of the empties.
  • the advantage of the invention lies in simple and reliable handling and the interchangeability of the holding element when e.g. a bottle is broken. After the bottle has been transported, the holding element can advantageously be easily opened from the manufacturer to the filler by pressure on the holding element before being filled, after which the folding bottle can be automatically unfolded and filled.
  • the holding element 1 shows an embodiment of the holding element 1 according to the invention as part of a bottle stopper 6.
  • the holding element has projections 3 at its open end, at the end of the wall 1a.
  • the lower part 2d of the folding bottle has lugs 2c on its edge, which snap into recesses (see FIG. 3a) of the projections 3 in the completely compressed state. In this way, a particularly stable posture in the compressed state, e.g. enabled when transporting the empties.
  • the projections 3 are preferably rigidly connected to the wall 1a.
  • the wall 1a surrounds the upper part 2a of the folding bottle 2 at least partially.
  • Fig. 2a shows an embodiment according to the invention, wherein the holding part 1 is formed separately.
  • the holding part 1 is snapped into a groove 5 on the bottle neck (2e) and holds the projections 3 in the nose 2c on the lower part 2d are engaged, the folding bottle 2 in the fully compressed state.
  • FIG. 2b shows a top view of the embodiment according to FIG. 2a.
  • the folding bottle 2 is only held on two sides by the holding element 1.
  • the holding element can be adapted to the respective cross section of a bottle (square, rectangular, round, hexagonal, octagonal). It is sufficient to arrange two diagonally opposite lugs 2c or cutouts 3a. However, it is possible to hold the folding bottle in several places.
  • FIG. 3a shows an enlarged section of the left upper edge of the holding element 1 in FIGS. 2a and 2b with a nose 2c latched into a recess 3a of the projection 3 on the lower part 2d of the folding bottle, and in FIG. 3b the enlarged section is measured according to FIG. 3a shown in plan view and partially cut away.
  • the snapping of the nose 2c into the recess 3a takes place after the folds 2b have been completely compressed, the bevel 3c of the projections 3 ensuring that the folds 2b slide easily in the direction of the compression.
  • the folding bottle is opened from the compressed state by lateral pressure on the bevel 3c, as a result of which the holding element is pressed outwards and the nose 2c is released from the recess 3a.
  • vertical pressure can be exerted on the compressed folding bottle.
  • FIG. 4a shows a cross section through a holding element 1 without a folding bottle
  • FIG. 4b the holding element according to FIG. 4a is shown in a top view.
  • the opening 1b can be snapped onto a groove 5, as shown in FIG. 2a.
  • the holding element 1 can also be held on the folding bottle 2 by means of projections or clamps on the bottle neck 2e which engage in the opening 1b.
  • the side wall 1a of the holding element 1 is well suited for labeling e.g. of the product in the folding bottle or for advertising purposes. In this way, the intended use of the folding bottle can still be seen even when compressed.
  • the lettering can be attached as a print or sticker on the outer wall 1a of the holding element.
  • the holding element can be designed in one or more colors.
  • the holding element 1 can be produced from plastic, preferably from polypropylene.
