Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a handle for bottles and similar containers of the type specified in the preamble of the first claim.
  • the present invention relates to a handle suitable to permit the gripping and thus movement of a pack of one or more bottles, gallon bottles, flagons, cartons, cans and similar containers or multi-packs thereof (hereinafter uniquely identified by the term "containers").
  • packs are composed of a polymeric casing, which by enveloping the containers permits their simultaneous movement, and a handle attached to the casing.
  • the prior art mentioned above provides the handle as the sole support for transporting one or more containers or packs thereof.
  • the purpose of the invention is to add to the transport function of the handle a function suitable for promotion or information or for drawing attention to said pack.
  • the technical purpose of the present invention is to devise a handle for containers able to substantially overcome the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • one important purpose of the invention is to have a handle for containers which permits easy and quick movement of a pack.
  • Another important aim of the invention is a handle for containers which makes it possible to have a pack with a communicative impact and which is easy to manufacture.
  • the measures, values, shapes and geometric references (such as perpendicularity and parallelism), when used with words like “about” or other similar terms such as “approximately” or “substantially”, are to be understood as except for measurement errors or inaccuracies due to production and/or manufacturing errors and, above all, except for a slight divergence from the value, measure, shape or geometric reference which it is associated with.
  • said terms, if associated with a value preferably indicate a divergence of not more than 10% of said value.
  • reference numeral 1 globally denotes the handle according to the invention.
  • the pack 10 ( Figs. 5-6 ) comprises a plurality of containers 11 and connection means 12 mutually constraining the containers 11, permitting the simultaneous movement thereof.
  • the containers 11 ( Fig. 5 ) have a central part 11a , a cap 11b and a conical portion 11c connecting the central portion 11 a and the cap 11b.
  • connection means 12 include one or more junction points, made between adjacent containers 1a.
  • the means 12 include a casing, preferably polymeric, enveloping the containers 11.
  • the pack 10 also comprises at least one handle 1, suitable to be connected to the connection means 12 or to the containers 11.
  • the handle is deemed, in this text, connected both to the containers 11 and to the pack 10, since the same are mutually constrained.
  • the handle 1 is an elongated, narrow shape and comprises a base tape 2 defining the profile of the handle 1 and a longitudinal axis 2a and at least two ends 2b ; at least one, and preferably two, printable plates 3 ; a grip 4 suitable to be placed between the plates 3 or between a plate 3 and an end 2b ( Fig. 7g ); and an adhesive layer 5 interposed between the tape 2 and the grip 4 and also between the tape 2 and the plates 3 or end 2b, connecting the grip 4 and the plates 3 to the tape 2.
  • the tape 2 is preferably a film of polymeric material suitably thermoplastic and, in particular, polypropylene. More in particular, the base tape 2 is in high modulus mono-oriented polypropylene.
  • the base tape 2 is transparent.
  • the handle 1 has a length, measured along the longitudinal axis 2a, substantially greater than 3 dm and, in particular, of 6 dm.
  • the adhesive layer 5 covers the base tape 2 almost entirely.
  • the adhesive layer 5 is polymeric material with open tack.
  • the grip 4 and the plates 3 are mutually spaced apart along the axis 2a so that, between them, the adhesive layer 5 is visible defining gluing portions 1a of the handle 1 to the pack 10.
  • the grip 4 and the plates 3 have a width, measured perpendicular to the axis 2a, substantially equal to that of the strip 2 so that the adhesive layer 5 is visible exclusively between the grip 4 and each plate 3.
  • the grip 4 is made of polymeric material or paper in a neutral colour or printed so as to be easily visible.
  • It has a length, measured along the longitudinal axis 2a, substantially greater than 1 dm.
  • the plates 3 have a length, measured along the axis 2a, substantially greater than 1.5 dm.
  • the printable plates 3 are a rectangular, square, parallelogram shape etc.
  • the printable plates 3 are made of printable material and may therefore have a printed surface suitable to come into contact with the adhesive layer 5 so as to be visible, through the tape 2, when the handle 1 is joined to a pack 10. Appropriately, they are in a printable material, and more appropriately paper.
  • the adhesive layer 5 is not covered by the plates 3 and is visible, defining additional gluing portions 1b of the handle 1 to the pack 10.
  • Said additional gluing portions 1b may be any shape and, for example, semicircular, trapezoidal, triangular and may occupy or not the entire width of the tape 2.
  • the handle 1 is suitable to be joined to the pack 10 preferably in such a way that the printable plates 3 are in the central part 11 a of the container 11 or of the pack 10.
  • the handle 1 is joined to the pack 10 so that the printable plates 3 cover a portion between a lower end and an upper end of said pack 10.
  • the lower end is positioned between 10% and 30% of the height of the pack 10
  • the upper end is positioned between 60% and 90% of the height of the pack 10, so that said plates 3 are clearly visible from the side.
  • the invention comprises a new production method 20 of a handle 1, described above in a structural sense.
  • the method 20, shown in Fig. 4 provides for making and feeding a continuous tape 20a , which constitutes the tape 2, defining a feed axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 2a.
  • the method provides for the deposit 21 of the adhesive layer 5 on the tape 20a by coating, and the gluing 22 of the printable plates 3 and 4 and of the grip interposed and spaced from said plates 3 to the tape 20a.
  • the embodiment method 20 provides for cutting 23 the continuous tape 20a between consecutive plates 3, obtaining the handle 1 of the desired length and, taking advantage of the visible adhesive layer 5, i.e. the portions 1a and 1 b, constraining the handle 1 to a pack 10 at the central part 11 a.
  • the invention achieves important advantages.
  • the handle 1 thanks to the gluing portions 1a and 1b, is applicable to both packs 10 having, as constraint means 12, junction points and those providing for a casing enveloping the containers 11.
  • said plates 3 being able to reproduce a label, a logo or any other type of information, make the labelling of the individual pack unnecessary.
  • the presence of the plates 3 on the visible edge allows the operator or user of the supermarket or shop to correctly pick up the pack and also to be able to use bar codes and the like without having to access different portions of the packs 11.
  • the upper portion of the pack 11 may in fact be hard to access since under other packs.
  • This advantage is important in particular for inventory operations of supermarkets and the like, in which the pack cannot be removed from the shelf.
  • Another advantage is the fact that the handle 1 is firmly attached to the pack 10. Variations may be made to the invention without departing from the scope of the inventive concept described in the independent claims and in the relative technical equivalents. In said sphere all the details may be replaced with equivalent elements and the materials, shapes and dimensions may be as desired.
