Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices comprising containers for bottles, intended to present and / or refresh table drinks in bottles.
  • the invention relates to a device comprising a container for bottles, this container having an opening and a bottom, this device further comprising a support adapted to hang the container on the edge of a table.
  • the present invention is intended to overcome these disadvantages.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a device 1 comprising a container for bottles, more commonly called “champagne bucket” (this is how the device 1 will be referred to in what follows).
  • Bucket 1 comprises, on the one hand, a hollow container 2 into which can be introduced - to be refreshed in particular - a bottle 3 (usually a bottle of champagne) and, on the other hand, a support 4 adapted to allow, either the bucket rest 1 on a table 5, or its suspension at a rim 6 thereof.
  • a hollow container 2 into which can be introduced - to be refreshed in particular - a bottle 3 (usually a bottle of champagne) and, on the other hand, a support 4 adapted to allow, either the bucket rest 1 on a table 5, or its suspension at a rim 6 thereof.
  • the container 2 has an opening 7, formed by an edge with a circular contour, through which the bottle 3 is introduced, and a bottom 8 against which the bottle 3 then rests.
  • the support 4 comprises hooking means 9, which is in the example in the form of a groove, to allow the bucket 1 to be suspended from the rim 6 of the table 5, and a base 10 to allow the stable rest of the bucket. 1 on the table 5.
  • the bucket 1 has, in the attachment position, a truncated ovoid overall shape, the container 2 and the support 4 having external lateral walls 11, 12 which extend in the extension of one another so that the bucket 1 has in this configuration an outer surface 13 having a smooth appearance.
  • the container 2 ends, opposite the opening 7, by a vertex 14.
  • the shape of the bucket 1 is, in the attachment position, symmetrical with respect to a plane containing the Y axis of reversal and passing through the vertex 14.
  • This plane of symmetry is coincident, on the figure 2 , with section plane III-III and, on the figure 3 , with the plane of the leaf.
  • the bucket 1 has almost an outer shape of revolution around the main axis X contained in the plane of symmetry defined above, which axis intersects the rounded bottom 8 of the container 2 at the top 14.
  • the base 10 is formed by a flat surface which, in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, and as it appears more particularly on the figure 3 extends in the same plane P1 as the opening 7 of the container.
  • the container 2 further comprises a planar outer wall 15 which extends in a plane perpendicular to the Y axis of the support 4 overturned and offset with respect to the main axis X, and on which the support 4 is rotatably mounted. around the Y axis of reversal.
  • the support 4 is in this example in the form of a one-piece shell mounted on the flat outer wall 15 of the container 2 by means of a plate 16 provided with a circular hole 17 which fits on a counter 18 complementary projection projecting on the flat wall 15, clearly visible on the figures 3 , 4 , 8 and 11 , which materializes the Y axis of reversal of the support 4.
  • the attachment means 9 allow this suspension to be carried out in a simple and reliable manner.
  • the attachment means 9 are in fact in the form of a groove formed in recess in the support 4 in the vicinity of the base 10, and comprising an upper face 19 which, when the support 4 is in the hooking position is turned towards the bottom 8 in order to be applied against an upper surface 20 of a table 5 ( figure 8 ), and a lower face 21 which, when the support 4 is in the hooking position, is turned towards the base 10 to be able to be applied against a lower surface 22 of the table 5, opposite the upper surface 20 ( figure 8 ).
  • the groove 9 ends, on the side of the container 2, by a bottom 23 which, connecting the faces 19 and 21, is in the form of a substantially toric surface whose concavity is turned away from the X axis of symmetry of the bucket ( figure 4 ).
  • the groove 9 is obliquely excavated in the support 4 in the direction of the geometric center of the bucket 1, that is to say that the faces 19 and 21, substantially parallel, are inclined relative to a plane P2 perpendicular to the axis X symmetry of the bucket, for example at an angle B, indicated on the figure 5 , between 20 ° and 40 ° (approximately 25 ° in the example shown), the groove 9 being located above the center of gravity of the bucket 1 when it is considered in its hooking position ( figure 3 ).
  • the upper face 19 is curved in the direction of the lower face 21 to form, in the vicinity of the bottom 23, an upper lip 24 which, intended to form the contact zone of the upper face 21 with the upper surface 20 of the table 5 ( figure 8 ), extends along an arc concentric to the arc formed by the groove bottom 23, and preferably substantially parallel to the plane P2 ( figures 4 and 8 ).
  • the lower face 21 has, at the edge of the groove 9, a lower lip 25 offset towards the outside of the bucket 1 with respect to the upper lip 24, and which, extending parallel to the plane P2, is intended forming the contact zone of the lower face 21 with the lower surface 22 of the table 5 in the hooking position ( figure 8 ).
  • the groove 9 is engaged on the flange 6 of the table 5, substantially parallel to the faces 19, 21, until the flange 6 abuts against the bottom of the groove 23.
  • the bucket 1 is then allowed to rock under its own weight, the rim 6 of the table 5 being then pinched by a lever effect between the upper lip 24 and the lower lip 25. Due to its cantilevered position, the bucket holds itself at the edge 6 of the table 5.
  • the shape of the groove 9, in particular the arcuate shape and the length of the upper lip 24 guarantees the stability of this attachment.
  • the top 14 of the container 2 is in the plane P1 of the base 10, so that the bucket 1 placed on a table 5 rests jointly by the base 10 and the top 14.
  • the Y axis of the support 4 overturns towards the plane P1 of the base 10, opposite the container 2, forming with said plane P1 an angle of between 3 ° and 10 ° (about 4 ° in the illustrated example).
  • the flat outer wall 15 of the container 2, perpendicular to the axis Y is, when the bucket 1 rests on the table 5, inclined relative to the upper surface 20 of the table 5 (the opening 7 being, anyway, always facing up).
  • the angle A will be chosen so that said projection is located on the area consisting of the base 10 and the space between said base and the top 14 of the container 2.
  • bucket 1 As bucket 1 is intended. This bucket can be made entirely of plastic, for the sake of its weight and its manufacturing convenience.
  • the container is made of a plastic material, such as PVC (which may be transparent or translucent) or polycarbonate, while the support 2 is made of a metallic material, such as a aluminum.
  • a plastic material such as PVC (which may be transparent or translucent) or polycarbonate
  • the support 2 is made of a metallic material, such as a aluminum.
  • the presence of the groove 9 allows the gripping of the bucket 1 with one hand, which facilitates its handling.
  • the upper lip 24 is here formed by an insert 29 attached, fixed to the support 4 on the side of the upper face 19 of the groove 9 by interlocking in a complementary housing 30 dug in the mass of the support 4.
  • This insert 29 is preferably made of an elastic material having a high coefficient of friction compared to the materials in which the table surfaces (wood, glass, metal but also fabric) are conventionally made.
  • the material chosen is an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), the support 4 being itself made of aluminum.
  • EVA ethylene-vinyl acetate
  • the bucket 1 comprises a fastening system 31 of the container 2 to the support 4, which system, jointly, allows the rotation of the support 4 relative to the container 2 about the Y axis of overturning.
  • the fastening system 31 comprises hooks 32 provided projecting on the flat outer wall 15 of the container 2 and adapted to snap onto a circular crown 33 mounted, facing, on the support 4.
  • the ring gear 33 As for the ring gear 33, it is intended to fit into a complementary housing 37 formed in the support 4 facing the plane wall 15, and has an outer portion 38 pierced with holes 39 in which positioning pins are engaged. 40 when projected on the support 4 in the bottom of the housing 37.
