Description

« Support de bouteille de boisson en matière plastique » Domaine de l'invention "Plastic beverage bottle holder" Field of the invention
La présente invention concerne un support de bouteille de boisson en matière plastique souple dont le corps de forme cylindrique standard comporte au moins une zone locale annelée formant au moins une gorge périphérique, comprenant un organe d'accrochage en forme de pince pour se fixer à la ceinture ou à une pièce de vêtement (poche) et un anneau relié à la pince pour recevoir la bouteille. Etat de la technique II existe déjà différents dispositifs pour accrocher des objets à une ceinture ou un vêtement. Ainsi, le document FR 01 09 364 décrit une attache pour fixer une paire de lunettes. Cette attache en forme de pince s'accroche à la ceinture ou à une poche et comporte un orifice pour le passage d'une branche de lunettes ainsi qu'un logement pour recevoir les deux branches repliée de la lunette de manière à tenir celle-ci.The present invention relates to a flexible plastic beverage bottle holder whose standard cylindrical body comprises at least one annular local area forming at least one peripheral groove, comprising a clip-shaped attachment member for attaching to the belt or a piece of clothing (pocket) and a ring connected to the clamp to receive the bottle. STATE OF THE ART There are already various devices for hanging objects on a belt or a garment. Thus, the document FR 01 09 364 describes a fastener for fixing a pair of glasses. This clip-shaped fastener clings to the belt or to a pocket and has a hole for the passage of a branch of glasses and a housing for receiving the two folded branches of the telescope so as to hold it .
Le document FR 95 13 615 concerne un support également de ce type composé d'une pince et d'une attache dans laquelle on clipse une canne de façon à permettre de porter la canne sans avoir à la tenir.The document FR 95 13 615 relates to a support also of this type consisting of a clamp and a clip in which a cane is clipped so as to allow carrying the cane without having to hold it.
Enfin, le document FR 92 04 159 décrit un clip porte fleurs composé également d'une pince et d'un logement dans lequel on introduit un bouquet ou une fleur pour les porter accrochés à un vêtement.Finally, FR 92 04 159 discloses a flower clip also composed of a clip and a housing in which one introduces a bouquet or a flower to wear them attached to a garment.
Enfin, le document FR 03 14 192 décrit un support de bouteille, de godet ou de canette. Ce dispositif se compose d'une attache que l'on accroche à la ceinture ou à une pièce de vêtement prolongée par une branche verticale servant d'appui contre le corps de l'utilisateur, cette branche étant orientée suivant l'axe de l'objet à recevoir. L'attache porte un arceau horizontal de section correspondant à celle de l'objet et la bran¬ che d'appui se termine par un retour formant un support pour le fond de l'objet tel qu'une bouteille. Ce dispositif, qui convient parfaitement pour des bouteilles volumineuses et de ce fait lourdes lorsqu'elles sont pleines, a l'inconvénient d'être relativement encombrant à vide, pour être associé directement à la bouteille conditionnée, notamment si celle-ci est condi¬ tionnée en emballage de plusieurs bouteilles. But de l'invention La présente invention a pour but de développer un support de bouteille de forme simple et peu encombrante, permettant notamment d'être associé à la bouteille conditionnée seule ou en paquet, pour être distribué comme accessoire associé à une bouteille, servir de support pu¬ blicitaire en plus d'éléments fonctionnels. Exposé et avantages de l'inventionFinally, FR 03 14 192 discloses a bottle, bucket or can holder. This device consists of a fastener that is attached to the belt or to a piece of clothing extended by a vertical leg serving as a support against the body of the user, this branch being oriented along the axis of the object to receive. The clip carries a horizontal bow section corresponding to that of the object and the bran¬ che ends with a return forming a support for the bottom of the object such as a bottle. This device, which is ideal for bulky bottles and therefore heavy when they are full, has the disadvantage of being relatively bulky empty, to be associated directly with the conditioned bottle, especially if it is condi¬ packaged in several bottles. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to develop a bottle support of simple and space-saving shape, in particular enabling it to be associated with the bottle packaged alone or in a pack, to be distributed as an accessory associated with a bottle, serve as pu¬ public support in addition to functional elements. Description and advantages of the invention
La présente invention concerne à cet effet un support de bouteille du type défini ci-dessus caractérisé en ce que l'anneau a une section légèrement supérieure à la section standard d'une bouteille et il est muni intérieurement d'au moins une lèvre élastique venant en saillie dans l'ouverture de l'anneau pour en diminuer le diamètre et se loger dans une gorge périphérique de la bouteille pour soutenir la bouteille dans l'anneau.To this end, the present invention relates to a bottle support of the type defined above, characterized in that the ring has a section slightly greater than the standard section of a bottle and is internally provided with at least one elastic lip protruding into the opening of the ring to reduce the diameter and lodge in a peripheral groove of the bottle to support the bottle in the ring.
Ce support est extrêmement compact et permet de bien re¬ cevoir et tenir une bouteille dont le corps comporte une zone annelée. La bouteille s'engage simplement en la faisant passer dans la lèvre qui se dé¬ forme élastiquement. L'accrochage de la lèvre dans la gorge périphérique de la bouteille se perçoit pendant le mouvement d'engagement de la bou¬ teille. L'élasticité de la lèvre ainsi engagée dans la gorge permet de retenir la bouteille dans l'anneau. Pour l'en extraire et se servir de la bouteille, il suffit d'exercer un effort de traction ou encore de dégager la pince de la ceinture et de laisser le support accroché à la bouteille. Un tel support peut également recevoir des indications pu¬ blicitaires sur la périphérie de l'anneau soit sous forme d'inscription soit également de figurine ou d'éléments en relief qui, situés au-delà du con¬ tour de la bouteille, ne gênent pas la mise en place de la bouteille ou sa tenue dans l'anneau. Ce support peut facilement être mis en place sur la bou¬ teille au moment de l'embouteillage. La mise en place du support peut se faire de manière automatique dans la chaîne d'embouteillage. Le faible re¬ lief du support ne gêne pas le conditionnement de la bouteille ou son re¬ groupement par lot de quatre ou six bouteilles, enveloppé d'un film étirable ou rétractable.This support is extremely compact and can well receive and hold a bottle whose body has a corrugated zone. The bottle simply engages by passing it into the lip which is elastically de¬formed. The attachment of the lip in the peripheral groove of the bottle is perceived during the movement of engagement of the bottle. The elasticity of the lip thus engaged in the groove makes it possible to retain the bottle in the ring. To extract it and use the bottle, it is enough to exert a pulling effort or to release the clip of the belt and leave the support hooked to the bottle. Such a support can also receive pu¬ blicitary indications on the periphery of the ring is in the form of registration or also figurine or relief elements which, located beyond the con¬ tower of the bottle, do not interfere not setting up the bottle or holding it in the ring. This support can easily be placed on the bottle at the time of bottling. The placement of the support can be done automatically in the bottling line. The low weight of the support does not interfere with the packaging of the bottle or its re¬ grouping by batch of four or six bottles, wrapped in a stretch or shrink film.
Suivant le cas, on pourra alors associer un tel support à un lot de bouteilles ou un support à chaque bouteille.Depending on the case, we can then associate such a support to a batch of bottles or a support to each bottle.
Comme le support se dégage facilement de la bouteille, le même support pourra servir pour toutes les bouteilles du lot. De façon avantageuse, la lèvre est continue sur la périphé¬ rie de l'anneau. Mais il est également possible de réaliser une lèvre dis¬ continue formée de serments répartis à la périphérie intérieure de l'anneau. Suivant une autre caractéristique avantageuse, la lèvre est dédoublée. L'anneau porte alors deux lèvres, de préférence écartées de l'intervalle de deux gorges d'une bouteille.As the support is easily released from the bottle, the same support can be used for all the bottles of the lot. Advantageously, the lip is continuous on the periphery of the ring. But it is also possible to make a dis¬ continuous lip formed oaths distributed at the inner periphery of the ring. According to another advantageous characteristic, the lip is split. The ring then bears two lips, preferably spaced apart from the interval of two grooves of a bottle.
La lèvre peut être de section droite, c'est-à-dire venir en saillie dans l'ouverture de l'anneau, en étant dirigée perpendiculairement à l'axe de la bouteille ou à la surface de l'anneau. La lèvre est aussi de préférence relevée pour formée avec l'anneau une section en V. La lèvre fonctionne alors comme un cran d'arrêt, facilitant le mouvement de l'anneau par rapport à la bouteille dans une direction et le rendant plus difficile dans l'autre.The lip may be of cross section, that is to say projecting into the opening of the ring, being directed perpendicular to the axis of the bottle or the surface of the ring. The lip is also preferably raised to form with the ring a V-section. The lip then functions as a detent, facilitating movement of the ring relative to the bottle in one direction and making it more difficult in the other.
La lèvre étant dirigée vers le haut, on introduira la bouteille dans l'anneau en passant par le bas. L'extraction de la bouteille se fera dans la même direction.With the lip pointing upwards, the bottle will be introduced into the ring through the bottom. The extraction of the bottle will be in the same direction.
Suivant une autre caractéristique avantageuse, l'ensemble du support composé de la pince, de l'anneau et de sa lèvre est réalisé en une seule pièce.According to another advantageous characteristic, the entire support consisting of the clamp, the ring and its lip is made in one piece.
Il est également possible de réaliser la pince et l'anneau avec sa lèvre sous forme de deux pièces clipsées l'une dans l'autre.It is also possible to make the clamp and the ring with its lip in the form of two parts clipped into one another.
La lèvre peut également être réalisée séparément de l'anneau en une matière différente plus souple que l'anneau de préférence rigide, l'anneau comportant intérieurement une gorge dans laquelle se clipse la base de la lèvre. DessinsThe lip can also be made separately from the ring in a different material more flexible than the preferably rigid ring, the ring internally having a groove in which the base of the lip is snapped. drawings

Description de modes de réalisationDescription of embodiments
Selon la figure IA, l'invention concerne un support de bou- teille de boisson B en matière plastique souple. De telles bouteilles ont une forme cylindrique de section plus ou moins normalisée ou du moins voisine pour les différents fabricants suivant le volume de la bou¬ teille (33 cl, % 1, 1 1 ou 1,5 1).According to FIG. 1A, the invention relates to a beverage bottle holder B of flexible plastic material. Such bottles have a cylindrical shape of more or less normalized section or at least close to the different manufacturers depending on the volume of the bottle (33 cl,% 1, 1 1 or 1.5 1).
Ces bouteilles en matière plastique souple ont généralement un corps cylindrique de section circulaire, carrée ou rectangulaire avec une zone annelée avec des gorges G pour augmenter la rigidité de la bou¬ teille malgré l'épaisseur très réduite de la matière plastique. Ces zones annelées permettent également de comprimer plus facilement la bouteille vide avant sa mise aux ordures. Le support 1, selon les figures IB, IC, se compose d'un or¬ gane d'accrochage 2 et d'un anneau 3. L'organe d'accrochage 2 en forme de pince destiné à se fixer à la ceinture ou à s'engager sur le bord d'une poche. Cette pince 2 se compose de deux branches, une branche exté¬ rieure 21 et une branche intérieure 22. La branche extérieure est relati- vement plate alors que la branche intérieure est de préférence incurvée suivant une forme courbe adaptée à celle de la bouteille B, si le support est destiné à recevoir une bouteille de section carrée ou rectangulaire et sera également plate.These flexible plastic bottles generally have a cylindrical body of circular, square or rectangular section with an annular zone with grooves G to increase the rigidity of the bou¬ despite the very small thickness of the plastic. These corrugated zones also make it easier to compress the empty bottle before it is put in the garbage. The support 1, according to FIGS. 1B, 1C, consists of a hooking member 2 and a ring 3. The gripping member 2 in the form of a clip intended to be fixed to the belt or to engage on the edge of a pocket. This clamp 2 consists of two branches, an outer branch 21 and an inner branch 22. The outer branch is relatively flat while the inner branch is preferably curved in a curved shape adapted to that of the bottle B, if the support is intended to receive a bottle of square or rectangular section and will also be flat.
Les figures IA, B, C montrent l'exemple d'un support desti- né à recevoir une bouteille B de section circulaire. La branche inté¬ rieure 22, évasée de la pince 2 porte l'anneau circulaire 3, de section légèrement supérieure à la section de ce type de bouteille de façon que l'anneau 3 puisse s'engager librement sur la bouteille.Figures IA, B, C show the example of a support for receiving a bottle B of circular section. The inté¬ branch 22, flared clip 2 carries the circular ring 3, slightly larger section section of this type of bottle so that the ring 3 can engage freely on the bottle.
Cet anneau 3 comporte intérieurement une lèvre élasti- que 4, venant en saillie dans le contour intérieur de l'anneau 3 pour en réduire la section. La section réduite est alors inférieure à la section de la bouteille B et même de préférence légèrement inférieure à la section la plus réduite d'une gorge du corps de la bouteille. Les diverses formes de réalisation de la lèvre sont repré¬ sentées aux figures 2A - 5 par ces coupes partielles d'un côté de l'anneau et de la ou des lèvres ainsi que de la partie de la bouteille à échelle agran¬ die. Selon le mode de réalisation des figures 2A, B, la lèvre 4 tournée vers le haut est en saillie et forme une section en v avec l'anneau 3. L'anneau 3 est de préférence rigide par son épaisseur ou de la matière dans laquelle il est réalisé alors que la lèvre 4 est de préférence relativement souple pour pouvoir être déformée et passer par-dessus le corps de la bouteille B et se déployer élastiquement dans la gorge G. La figure 2 A montre clairement que l'anneau a une section supérieure au corps de la bouteille alors que la lèvre a une section infé¬ rieure ou, du moins en position d'accrochage, sa section lui permet de ve¬ nir s'engager élastiquement dans la gorge périphérique G de la bouteille B. La position repliée de la lèvre au passage de la bouteille B est représentée en coupe et en perspective à la figure 2B.This ring 3 internally comprises an elastic lip 4 protruding into the inner contour of the ring 3 to reduce its section. The reduced section is then smaller than the section of the bottle B and even preferably slightly smaller than the smallest section of a groove of the body of the bottle. The various embodiments of the lip are shown in FIGS. 2A-5 by these partial sections on one side of the ring and on the lip or lips as well as on the part of the bottle with an enlarged scale. According to the embodiment of FIGS. 2A, B, the upwardly facing lip 4 is projecting and forms a v-shaped section with the ring 3. The ring 3 is preferably rigid by its thickness or material in which it is realized while the lip 4 is preferably relatively flexible to be deformed and pass over the body of the bottle B and expand elastically in the groove G. Figure 2 A clearly shows that the ring has a section greater than the body of the bottle while the lip has a lower section or, at least in hooking position, its section allows it to ve¬ nir resiliently engage in the peripheral groove G of the bottle B. The position folded from the lip to the passage of the bottle B is shown in section and in perspective in Figure 2B.
Les figures 3A, B montrent un mode de réalisation d'un an¬ neau 13 muni de trois lèvres 141, 142, 143 dont deux sont engagées dans une gorge périphérique Gl, G2 de la bouteille B, l'autre restant écrasée. L'écartement des lèvres 14-1, 14-2 correspond sensiblement à l'écartement des gorges Gl, G2. Avec l'anneau 13, ces lèvres forment éga¬ lement ses éléments à sections en V.FIGS. 3A, B show an embodiment of an anchor 13 provided with three lips 141, 142, 143, two of which are engaged in a peripheral groove G1, G2 of the bottle B, the other remaining crushed. The spacing of the lips 14-1, 14-2 corresponds substantially to the spacing of the grooves G1, G2. With the ring 13, these lips also form its V-section elements.
Comme à la figure 3B, la bouteille s'introduit dans l'anneau 13 en passant par le bas. Ce mouvement écrase alors nécessai¬ rement les lèvres 141- 143 et, lorsqu'elles se trouvent en regard des gorges périphériques Gl, G2 de la bouteille, elles détendent et se déploient dans les gorges pour retenir la bouteille en formant des organes d'accrochage qui s'arc-boutent dans les gorges (figure 3A).As in Figure 3B, the bottle is introduced into the ring 13 through the bottom. This movement then necessarily crushes the lips 141-143 and, when they are facing the peripheral grooves G1, G2 of the bottle, they relax and unfold in the grooves to retain the bottle forming shackles which are braced in the gorge (Figure 3A).
La figure 4 montre une vue de détails analogue à celle de la figure 3A mais pour un anneau 23 muni de deux lèvres droites 24- 1 , 24-2 venant dans les gorges Gl, G2 de la bouteille B. Les lèvres sont droites par rapport à la surface de l'anneau 23. Ainsi, au lieu d'être inclinées, les lèvres sont sensiblement perpendiculaires à l'axe de l'anneau (ou de la bouteille).FIG. 4 shows a detail view similar to that of FIG. 3A but for a ring 23 provided with two straight lips 24-1, 24-2 coming into the grooves G1, G2 of the bottle B. The lips are straight with respect to on the surface of the ring 23. Thus, instead of being inclined, the lips are substantially perpendicular to the axis of the ring (or the bottle).
La figure 5 est une vue en coupe partielle analogue aux vues précédentes montrant un autre mode de réalisation d'un anneau 33 bordé par deux lèvres 341, 342 écartées sensiblement de l'écartement de deux gorges Gl, G2 d'une bouteille B et qui sont dirigées l'une vers l'autre et non pas dans le même sens comme aux figures 3, 3B. Ces lèvres 341, 342 s'engagent plus ou moins dans les gor¬ ges Gl, G2 suivant leur écartement et récartement des gorges, écartement qui peut varier d'un type de bouteille à l'autre.FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view similar to the preceding views showing another embodiment of a ring 33 bordered by two lips 341, 342 spaced substantially from the spacing of two grooves G1, G2 of a bottle B and which are directed towards each other and not in the same direction as in Figures 3, 3B. These lips 341, 342 engage more or less in gor¬ ges G1, G2 according to their spacing and spacing of the grooves, spacing that can vary from one type of bottle to another.
Dans les différents modes de réalisation ci-dessus, les lè- vres sont continues sur toute la périphérie de l'anneau. Elles peuvent également être sectionnées pour présenter plus de souplesse ou être for¬ mées de segments disjoints. Les lèvres sont réalisées dans la même ma¬ tière que l'anneau mais avec une épaisseur plus réduite, les lèvres peuvent également être réalisées dans une matière souple et enclipsées ou accrochées à l'anneau qui, lui, sera en une matière plus rigide.In the various embodiments above, the lips are continuous over the entire periphery of the ring. They can also be cut to be more flexible or be formed of disjoint segments. The lips are made in the same material as the ring but with a smaller thickness, the lips can also be made of a flexible material and snapped or hooked to the ring which itself will be a more rigid material.
L'anneau peut recevoir des inscriptions, notamment des inscriptions publicitaires. L'anneau peut également porter des figurines ou logos en relief, réalisés dans la masse. The ring may receive inscriptions, including advertising inscriptions. The ring can also carry figurines or logos in relief, made in the mass.
