Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container system including an auxiliary collar and to a container and collar for use in such a system.
  • the present invention relates to technical, and functional improvements, specially developed to be applied to different types of bottles, particularly those of the blown-molded plastic type which are used for cosmetic products.
  • bottles may provide efficient holds. However, they become limited to the shape of the bottle, which makes them inseparable, or, in other words, the mold that shapes the bottle is only one, embodying the details of the hold and the bottle itself.
  • the present invention provides a container system comprising a container, a removable cap for attachment to the end of an open neck of the container, and a detachable annular collar, wherein the system is so configured that the collar is capable of being held in position on the neck of the container by means of the cap.
  • the container neck may include an indented section for receiving the collar thereon, and the cap may be sized so that it partially or fully overlaps the collar, so as to retain the same in position on the neck of the container.
  • the neck of the container may be provided with a first, outer neck portion, optionally provided with threads, snap-on fittings or the like for securing the cap thereon, and a second, inner neck portion, optionally provided with seating and locking means, on which the collar is mounted.
  • the second neck portion may have a larger cross-section than the first neck portion.
  • the first and second neck portions may each include horizontal annular lips upon which the cap and collar may rest, respectively.
  • the opposing surfaces of the collar and second neck portion may be circular in cross-section, and the second neck portion may be provided with locking means adapted to engage corresponding locking means on the collar, so as to prevent rotation of the collar, when in position on the neck.
  • the former locking means may be provided on a horizontal annular lip of the second neck portion, if present.
  • the opposing surfaces of the collar and second neck portion may be of a non-circular cross-section that prevents rotation of the collar, when in position on the neck, obviating the need for any locking means.
  • the collar may comprise an inner annular portion configured to sit upon the neck of the container, and a shaped outer portion.
  • the latter may extend outwardly (i.e. at 90° to the container axis) or outwardly and downwardly, to act as an auxiliary handguard for assisting in the handling of the container. Alternatively, it may follow the profile of the container and may merely act as a decorative element.
  • Secondary collar means may also be provided, and the container may be configured so that such means may be disposed between the cap and the annular collar.
  • the container system may also comprise a plurality of interchangeable annular collars.
  • auxiliary handling collar for containers consist of a superadded device, presenting construction details in its central region, to be coupled, preferably by a mere snap-on motion, to the base of the bottleneck, where its locking is completed by the cap.
  • one objective of present invention is basically to configure an independent part, to be coupled to the bottle, which in its turn presents construction details for this purpose.
  • a second objective of present invention is to attribute more than one function to said collar, depending, obviously, of its external or perimetral shape, which, in view of belonging to an independent part, may vary radically, to enrich the external and functional aspect of the bottle, i.e., maintaining the same snap-on central system, the collar may present external and perimetral shapes, with the purpose of acting as an auxiliary holding instrument, as a hand-guard and at the same time to serve as a decorative complement for the bottle, in which case its perimetral form may vary radically, including the imitation or simulation of known or unknown shapes.
  • the same bottle without being altered, may receive different collars, and thus the same bottle may be differently customized through the simple change of collars.
  • this auxiliary holding collar for containers is of a type to be used with different conventional bottles (1), particularly those of the blown-molded plastic type, the body of which may present varying shapes and should include an upper cylindrical bottleneck (2) with different devices (3), such as threaded or snap-on devices, adequate for the coupling of a cap (4) and with or without other complements, but, independently of such aspects, the present invention is characterized by the fact of the region between said bottleneck (2) and the bottle in itself (1) presenting means (6) for setting and locking a superadded device (7), usually in the shape of a plate of reduced thickness and with any external or perimetral configuration, which in its turn also presents centered means of seating (8) compatible with those (6) of the bottle (1), contributing to said superadded part being firmly locked between the cap (4) and the corresponding portion of the bottle (1).
  • the means for the setting and locking (6) of the bottle (1) are defined by circular sectors of different diameters, configuring a portion of horizontal setting (9) that constitutes the base of a cylindrical section (10) which, besides being positioned below the bottleneck (2), also presents at least one radial projection (11) in the shape of a parallelepipedic tooth which extends over the setting portion (9).
  • the means for setting (8) of the superadded part (7) are initially defined by a first horizontal and flat portion (12) provided in its central portion with an opening (13) with one or more radial slits (14), with all these details (12-13-14) contributing for fitness of the setting of the superadded part (7) upon the horizontal setting portion (9), where the locking is completed by the setting of the radial projections (11) into the slits (14).
  • the means for setting (6) and (8) between the bottle (1) and the superadded part (7) may present a geometry other than circular, such as elliptical or other, in which case the locking means (1-14) can be dispensed with, since said superadded part (7) will be incapable of rotating.
  • the perimetral portions (15) which overstep the central flat sector (12) may present varying shapes and angles, as shown in Figures 3 to 6, where one can see that said perimetral portions (15) may be designed to fit upon or to remain isolated from the corresponding portions of the bottle (1). In any of these cases, different effects may be obtained, but one of them, however, is permanent, i.e. the collar acts as a true handguard, helping very much the handling of the bottle and keeping it from slipping from the hand of the user.
