Description
La présente invention a pour objet une bouteille de table pour boisson, présentant
- un goulot, par lequel passe un axe,
- un fond ayant un contour situé dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe dudit goulot, et
- un premier et un deuxième plans de symétrie passant par l'axe.

Une telle bouteille est décrit dans le document
L'invention a pour but de procurer une bouteille stable et de manipulation aisée, dont la contenance est avantageusement de l'ordre de trois litres, qui, d'une part, peut être présentée à table et qui, d'autre part, permet le transfert de son contenu dans des verres par simple basculement alors qu'elle est supportée par ladite table.The object of the invention is to provide a stable and easy-to-handle bottle, whose capacity is advantageously of the order of three liters, which, on the one hand, can be presented at the table and which, on the other hand, allows the transfer of its contents into glasses by simply tilting while it is supported by said table.
Pour résoudre ce problème, on prévoit suivant l'invention une bouteille telle qu'indiquée au début, qui comporte en outre deux premières faces convexes, disposées symétriquement par rapport à l'axe, et deux deuxièmes faces, disposées symétriquement par rapport à l'axe, lesdites premières faces étant jointes auxdites deuxièmes faces, et qui, en section transversale prise perpendiculairement à l'axe du goulot, présente une forme de rectangle à petits et longs côtés et à sommets arrondis, ayant une longueur croissante à partir du fond jusqu'à maximum mi-hauteur de ladite bouteille et ensuite une longueur décroissante en direction du goulot, lesdites deux premières faces convexes étant formées par lesdits petits côtés susdits et constituant des surfaces de roulement permettant un vidage de la bouteille par roulement de celle-ci sur ces surfaces de roulement.To solve this problem, it is provided according to the invention a bottle as indicated at the beginning, which further comprises two convex first faces, arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis, and two second faces, arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis, said first faces being joined to said second faces, and which, in cross section taken perpendicularly to the axis of the neck, has a shape of rectangle with short and long sides and rounded tops, having a length increasing from the bottom to at half maximum height of said bottle and then a decreasing length towards the neck, said two first convex faces being formed by said small sides aforesaid and constituting rolling surfaces for emptying the bottle by rotation thereof on these rolling surfaces.
Suivant une forme de réalisation avantageuse de l'invention, la croissance de la longueur des rectangles précités est plus prononcée au voisinage du fond que la décroissance de ladite longueur au voisinage du goulot.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the growth of the length of the aforementioned rectangles is more pronounced near the bottom than the decrease of said length in the vicinity of the neck.
Suivant une forme de réalisation particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, la croissance précitée est prévue, à partir du fond de la bouteille, jusqu'à sensiblement deux cinquièmes de la hauteur de cette dernière.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the aforementioned growth is provided from the bottom of the bottle, up to substantially two fifths of the height of the latter.
D'autres détails et particularités de l'invention ressortiront des revendications secondaires et de la description des dessins qui sont annexés au présent mémoire et qui illustrent, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, une forme de réalisation particulière de la bouteille suivant l'invention.

Dans les différentes figures, les mêmes notations de référence désignent des éléments identiques ou analogues.In the various figures, the same reference notations designate identical or similar elements.
La bouteille 1 représentée aux dessins est réalisée en matière plastique, par exemple en téréphtalate de polyéthylène. Le fond 2 de cette bouteille a son contour 3 situé dans une plan perpendiculaire à l'axe 4 de son goulot 5, de manière à assurer la stabilité de ladite bouteille, en position debout, quel que soit sont degré de remplissage. Les sections de la bouteille, à l'exception du goulot 5 et qui sont prises perpendiculairement à l'axe 4 précité, ont une allure de rectangles, aux sommets arrondis, qui croissent régulièrement, à partir du fond 2, jusqu'à environ deux cinquièmes de la hauteur de la bouteille pour ensuite décroître régulièrement en direction du goulot 5, de sorte que les petits côtés des rectangles précités forment, de part et d'autre de l'axe 4, des faces 6 convexes et régulières.The bottle 1 shown in the drawings is made of plastic material, for example polyethylene terephthalate.
Cette bouteille 1, dont chacune desdites faces 6 constitue une surface de roulement facilitant le vidage de son contenu lorsque l'une d'elles repose sur un support, tel qu'une table, présente deux plans de symétrie qui passent par l'axe 4 et qui sont parallèles aux côtés des rectangles précités et ce, afin de faciliter et rationaliser le stockage et le transport de bouteilles 1 groupées.This bottle 1, each of said
La progressivité optimale du transvasement du contenu de la bouteille dans un autre récipient, par roulement sur une de ses faces 6, est assurée par une croissance de la longueur des rectangles susdits plus prononcée au voisinage du fond 2 de la bouteille que la décroissance au voisinage du goulot 5 dont le diamètre est choisi pour permettre un vidage aisé sans à-coups ni refoulement.The optimal progressiveness of the transfer of the contents of the bottle into another container, by rolling on one of its
Afin de rigidifier la bouteille 1, au moins ses deux faces 6 de roulement convexes présentent des déformations 7, en forme de rainures, sensiblement parallèles au plan passant par le contour 3 du fond rainuré 2 de ladite bouteille 1. Ces déformations 7, qui peuvent être soit rectilignes soit ondulées comme représenté aux dessins, sont avantageusement prolongées par des déformations 8 droites ou ondulées s'étendant sur tout ou parties des deux autres faces 9 de la bouteille, afin de rigidifier ces dernières.In order to stiffen the bottle 1, at least its two convex
Comme montré aux dessins, la bouteille 1 suivant l'invention présente, à proximité du goulot 5 et pour faciliter sa préhension, des déformations en creux 10. Ces dernières sont agencées près de l'intersection des faces 6 et 9 pour former, deux à deux, deux endroits 11 et 11' de préhension de la bouteille.As shown in the drawings, the bottle 1 according to the invention has, near the
Il doit être entendu que l'invention n'est nullement limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite et que bien des modifications peuvent être apportées à cette dernière sans sortir du cadre des revendications.It should be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and that many modifications can be made to it without departing from the scope of the claims.
Bien que la bouteille 1 ait été décrite sur base de sections d'allure rectangulaires ou quadrangulaire, on notera que les côtés de ses rectangles peuvent être courbes et non droits, un bombement étant produit par le moulage de la bouteille et/ou par son remplissage.Although the bottle 1 has been described on the basis of sections of rectangular or quadrangular shape, it will be noted that the sides of its rectangles may be curved and not straight, a bulge being produced by the molding of the bottle and / or by its filling. .
D'autres sections polygonales composant au moins une face convexe 6 pour le roulement sur un support doivent être considérées comme comprises dans la portée des présentes revendications.Other polygonal sections composing at least one
Comme il apparaît au vu des dessins (figure 3 notamment), la bouteille 1 dont le fond 2 est posé sur une table (non représentée) peut être saisie près de son goulot 5, aux endroits de préhension 11 et 11', suivant la figure 4, entre le pouce et l'index d'une main et poussée (figure 3) vers la gauche ou la droite en restant en appui sur la table.As it appears from the drawings (Figure 3 in particular), the bottle 1 whose
La bouteille 1 roule ainsi sur la table à l'aide d'une de ses faces convexes 6, sans effort et sans qu'il faille en porter le poids. Un récipient (non représenté) amené sous le goulot 5 au bon moment peut ainsi recevoir la boisson qui s'en écoule à mesure du roulement de la bouteille 1. Ce roulement est inversé dès que l'on veut arrêter le transvasement de la boisson.The bottle 1 rolls on the table with one of its
La bouteille 1 décrite présente avantageusement un centre de gravité bas lorsqu'elle est pleine. Ainsi, la force à appliquer aux endroits de préhension 11, 11' , pour faire rouler la bouteille dans un sens ou dans l'autre, est faible.The bottle 1 described advantageously has a low center of gravity when it is full. Thus, the force to be applied to the
La bouteille 1 peut être vidée au moins jusqu'à la moitié par un roulement susdit en n'importe quel endroit de la table lorsque la boisson est versée dans un récipient d'une hauteur correspondante.The bottle 1 can be emptied at least halfway through a bearing above said anywhere on the table when the drink is poured into a container of a corresponding height.
Lors d'un transvasement dans un récipient de grande hauteur, la bouteille 1 peut être amenée et posée près d'un bord de la table et roulée, de façon à ce que la projection du goulot 5 vers le bas se présente au-delà de la surface de la table. Le récipient de grande hauteur est présenté sous le goulot 5 en dehors de la surface de la table et, si nécessaire, sous le plan d'appui de la table. Cette même manoeuvre peut être effectuée pour vider la bouteille 1 au-delà de la moitié, dans un récipient de hauteur normale.During a transfer to a high-rise container, the bottle 1 can be brought and placed near an edge of the table and rolled, so that the projection of the
