  • Liquid such as red wine, which drips, can besides being unhygienic also result in irreversible damage to furniture and equipment such as cloths and carpets with thereby costly consequences. It is therefore a purpose of the invention to correct the drawbacks, which are known from the known types of packaging.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by a method of the type stated in the introductory portion of claim 1 , which is characterized in that the drops are collected in a drip catcher, which is mounted to the liquid dispenser's packaging by insertion into the packaging's bottom surface assembly.
  • the drip catcher is easily bendable and is bend only by a light touch of a liquid collecting device such as a glass, a mug or a cup.
  • the drip catcher can easily be moved when e.g. a glass is to be filled with liquid from the liquid dispenser.
  • the invention also relates to a drip catcher.
  • This drip catcher is characterized in that the drip catcher is provided with one or several, preferably two fastening devices with tapered end surfaces.
  • the drip catcher is provided with one or several, preferably two fastening devices with tapered end surfaces.
  • the drip catcher is provided with a curved surface for contact with a liquid collecting device such as a glass, a mug or a cup.
  • the drip catcher is suited for items such as glass or mugs, which are used for storing liquid which is drained from the liquid dispenser.
  • Fig. 1 shows, seen from the side, a liquid dispenser with a mounted drip catcher.
  • Fig. 2 shows, seen from above, the drip catcher, which is a part of figure 1.
  • Fig. 3 shows a drip catcher, which is also included in fig. 1 , compressed by a glass, which is to be filled with liquid from the liquid dispenser's drain tap.
  • Fig. 4 shows a drip catcher being bended and thereby stretched by a glass, which is to be filled with liquid from the liquid dispenser.
  • Fig. 5 shows an example of the shape of a drip catcher.
  • Fig. 6 shows the mounting of a drip catcher in the bottom of a liquid dispenser.
  • Fig. 7 shows a liquid dispenser with a mounted drip catcher.
  • Fig. 8 shows a drip catcher compressed by a glass, which is to be filled with liquid from the liquid dispenser.
  • Fig. 9 shows, seen from below, a drip catcher manufactured with a single tapered fastening device.
  • Fig. 10 shows, seen from above, the same drip catcher as in fig. 9.
  • the liquid dispenser can e.g. be a six-sided cardboard box for containing and storing liquids such as wine, beer or juice.
  • the drip catcher 4 is fastened to the liquid dispenser 1 by insertion of fastening devices 8 in the liquid dispenser's bottom surface assemblies 9.
  • the drip catcher is furthermore stabilized through contact with the liquid dispenser 1 at a surface 7.
  • the drip catcher 4 From the surface 7, the drip catcher 4 has a bend 6 whereby the drip catcher's 4 drop absorption surface 6 is placed appropriately under the dripping drain tap 1.
  • the drip catcher 4 is shown, seen from above, whereby it is clarified that the fastening devices 8 in this example consists of two tapered surface items, which as a result of the tapered form are easily inserted in the liquid dispenser's 1 bottom surface assemblies.
  • the drip catcher 4 is provided with a tapered end 10, which is suitable for supporting and touching e.g. a glass or a mug which is about to be filled with liquid from the liquid dispenser 1.
  • the invention is not limited to mounting or fastening of drip catchers by the shown examples but also includes all other forms of fastening such as mounting or a drip catcher on e.g. the drain taps' pipe stubs including one with the fastening devices manufactured in relation to a clip-on system or a simple screw on, and fastening devices can be fastened to the liquid dispenser, which is a part of the invention, by the use of e.g. adhesion.
  • fig. 3 In fig. 3 is shown how the drip catcher 4 from fig. 1 is easily compressed by a glass 11 , which is to be filled with liquid from the liquid dispenser 1.
  • the drip catcher By choosing an appropriate material for the drip catcher's 4 basis material, such as a bendable polymer, the drip catcher can easily be compressed by the filling of a glass, as shown in fig. 3, whereafter it takes on the same form and position as shown in fig. 1 , where drops 3 are efficiently collected.

  • the outwards bend which is shown in fig. 4 can be an alternative embodiment to go together by bending as shown in fig. 3.
  • fig. 5 is shown a picture of a preferred embodiment of a drip catcher 4 of the same type as shown in fig. 1 to fig. 4.
  • Fig. 6 shows how the drip catcher 4 can be fastened to a liquid dispenser 1 by insertion into the liquid dispenser's bottom surface assemblies, which can e.g. be folded cardboard ends.
  • the picture, which fig. 8 consists of shows a liquid dispenser 1 with a mounted drip catcher 4, where the liquid dispenser is placed at the edge of a table.
  • drip catcher in a preferred embodiment also will be operational and functional even though the liquid dispenser is placed at the middle of a table top.
  • the invention will in the shown embodiments also be operational if the liquid dispenser is placed in a stand or a holder.
  • fig. 9 and fig. 10 is shown an example of a drip catcher manufactured in relation to the invention with a single tapered fastening device.
  • the invention is not limited to the methods and products which directly are described or depicted in the present document, but also includes all methods and devices, which can indirectly be derived from the text or the figures or a combination of these.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de recueillir des gouttes depuis des robinets de sortie montés sur des distributeurs de liquide, telles des boîtes en carton possédant six faces, qui sont communément utilisées pour le vin, la bière ou les jus. L’invention porte également sur un ramasse-gouttes destiné à être monté sur des distributeurs de liquide dotés de robinets de sortie. Ces distributeurs de liquide dotés de robinets de sortie sont encore très utilisés, car ils présentent plusieurs avantages : un faible poids, une grande résistance et une grande facilité d’usage entre autres. Toutefois lesdits distributeurs présentent quelques inconvénients tel un robinet de sortie qui laisse couler des gouttes, ce qui non seulement n’est pas très hygiénique mais risque d’abîmer les habits, les tapis, etc. La présente invention permet de recueillir efficacement toutes les gouttes, éliminant ainsi tout désagrément pour les utilisateurs. Le ramasse-gouttes peut être réutilisé ce qui le rend facile d’emploi, économiquement intéressant et écologique. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le ramasse-gouttes est fixé à un distributeur de liquide en insérant des dispositifs de fixation simples dans les ensembles emballages sur la partie inférieure du distributeur de liquide. Lorsque le distributeur de liquide est vide, le ramasse-gouttes peut être retiré et réutilisé sur un autre distributeur de liquide plein.
