Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a high-strength bottle for beverages. More particularly, the invention relates to a bottle which is adapted in particular for highly carbonated beverages.
  • bottles which have central grips provided by regions which have a reduced diameter and accordingly have an increased thickness.
  • a first type of bottle has, at the grip region, a marked reduction in diameter, an annular choke which accordingly allows to have a significant increase in thickness exclusively in that region and therefore have adequate mechanical strength only at said region.
  • a second type of bottle with a central grip region instead has a gradual but not marked reduction in diameter; in this case the gradual decrease in diameter entails an insufficient increase in thickness which does not allow to achieve adequate mechanical performance.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a bottle for beverages which is highly resistant to external pressure and to internal pressure.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a bottle for beverages and the like in which the central grip region of the bottle is shaped so as to have high-level mechanical strength characteristics.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a bottle for beverages and the like which is highly reliable, relatively easy to manufacture and at competitive costs.
  • a bottle for beverages and the like having high mechanical strength comprising a cylindrical body having in a substantially central region thereof a grip region whose diameter is reduced with respect to the diameter of the remaining portions of said body, characterized in that said grip region has a gradual and marked reduction in diameter accompanied by a gradual increase in thickness which reaches its maximum value at the portion of said grip region that has the smallest diameter.
  • the bottle according to the present invention comprises a substantially cylindrical body 2, provided with many-sided feet 3 which are adapted to constitute a resting base for the body 2, and a substantially central region of the body 2, the particularity of which consists in that its diameter decreases gradually with respect to the adjacent portions of the body 2 and its thickness is greater than in conventional bottles and most of all is extensive.
  • the central portion of the bottle designated by the reference numeral 4
  • the increase in thickness of the body 2 at the central region 4 occurs in step with the decrease in diameter of the region 4 and therefore said increase in thickness is achieved at the region that needs it most.
  • the need to increase the mechanical strength of the body 2 of the bottle is in fact felt mainly at the region or portion that has the smallest diameter.
  • Mechanical strength is provided in both directions, i.e., with respect to the pressure applied by the carbon dioxide (from the inside of the bottle outwards, tending to inflate the grip region 4, returning it to the nominal diameter of the body 2 of the bottle) and with respect to the gripping action performed by the consumer, which would tend to compress the bottle when taking hold of it.
  • the grip region 4 is therefore substantially shaped so as to have a reduction in diameter which is initially gradual and then becomes marked: it is gradual at a region 5 and marked at a region 6, both of said regions being part of the region 4.
  • the reduction in diameter at the region 5 is preferably approximately at least 25% with respect to the nominal diameter of the bottle, i.e., of the body 2.
  • the gradual and marked reduction in diameter is accompanied by a gradual increase in the thickness of the bottle, which reaches its maximum value at the minimum diameter of the grip region 4.
  • the grip region 4 described above can be further reinforced by means of ribs, arranged for example as shown in figure 1 or as shown in figure 3.
  • the ribs of figure 1, designated by the reference numeral 7, are spiral-shaped, while the ribs of figure 3, designated by the reference numeral 8, are ring-shaped, and the rings, like the spirals, have a pitch which decreases to a minimum at the ring of the grip region 4 that has the smallest diameter.
  • the ribs substantially further stiffen the geometry of the grip region 4 and the stiffening is a function of the distance between the different ribs and of the depth of said ribs.
  • the distance between the ribs reaches its minimum at the grip region 4 having the smallest diameter (designated by the reference numeral 6), and the distance increases, while depth decreases, as the diameter of the grip region 4 increases, blending away where the nominal diameter of the bottle is reached.
  • the bottle according to the present invention fully achieves the intended aim, since it allows to have a grip region which is functionally improved with respect to conventional bottles and in which despite a marked reduction in the diameter of the bottle there is also a gradual increase in thickness in inverse proportion to the reduction in the diameter of the bottle, accordingly obtaining a minimum-diameter region which also has the maximum thickness with respect to the remaining portions of the bottle.
  • the materials used may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
