Description

The invention relates to a bottle for holding liquid or gel products, wherein the bottle comprises a bottle body and a closure. Another aspect of the invention relates to the use of such a bottle for sexual stimulation.

State of the art

Everyday objects of elongated shape are often misappropriated and used for sexual stimulation, the objects being introduced into the vagina of a woman, for example. Due to their elongated shape, bottles are used in particular for this purpose. However, since the bottles used everyday are not intended for insertion into body orifices, this threatens various dangers.

The usual bottles have no handle, with which they can be kept safe. Smaller bottles, for example for personal care products such as deodorants, can therefore easily disappear completely into a body orifice such as a woman's vagina or intestine. This is particularly problematic when the bottle gets wet or is used together with a lubricant. The bottles can also have sharp edges and joints, so that there is a risk of injury. Further injury risks arise, for example, from the closures of the bottles. Inserted closures such as removable caps or flap closures can be opened with comparatively small forces. If the closure is located on the side facing the front during insertion into a body opening, the closure can then disappear in the body opening and possibly expose sharp-edged parts of the bottle. Is the Closure on the opposite side and the bottle is held on the closure, a retrieval of the bottle may be impossible if the closure from the bottle dissolves.

Also screwed closures pose a risk if the closure is too easy to solve, especially if in the sexual stimulation with the bottle, among other things, rotational movements are applied. In this case, the screwed-on closure can also be unplugged from the bottle, with the consequences already described, or there is the danger that, for example, parts of the skin are trapped in the thread of the screwed closure.

Out DE 100 22 379 A1 It is known to use a bottle shaped like a champagne bottle for sexual stimulation, the bottle being used without its closure. In the bottom of the bottle, a second opening is provided. Through the second opening, a negative pressure that can occur during insertion into a vagina in the bottle and prevent withdrawal of the bottle can be reduced. A handle for safe retrieval is not provided.

A bottle which, on the one hand, has no restrictions on the absorption of liquid or gel products, e.g. Personal care products, drinks or the like is suitable and can be used as an added benefit without endangering the user for sexual stimulation is not known from the prior art.

Disclosure of the invention

1. a) im Fall eines Steckverschlusses eine Kraft von zwischen 5 und 200 N erforderlich ist,
2. b) im Fall eines Schraubverschlusses ein Drehmoment zwischen 0,25 und 10 Nm erforderlich ist, oder
3. c) im Fall eines mit einem Rastelement befestigten Verschlusses der Verschluss mittels eines Betätigungselements entriegelt werden muss, oder
4. d) im Fall eines Klappverschlusses eine Kraft zwischen 5 N und 200 N erforderlich ist.

The invention relates to a bottle for holding liquid or gel products wherein the bottle comprises a bottle body and a closure and wherein the bottle in a closed state has a first side, a second side and a lateral surface. The first side of the bottle has an outwardly curved surface, wherein the curvature preferably merges continuously and without sharp edges in the lateral surface. In the region of the second side, a return device is provided, which is designed so that the bottle can be gripped securely and after the insertion of the bottle into a body opening again pulled out. The bottle is also configured such that the closure is disposed on the first side or on the second side of the bottle, wherein the closure comprises, when arranged on the first side of the outwardly curved surface and a gap between the closure and the bottle body is made free of sharp edges , When the closure is located on the second side, the closure includes the retrieval device or the closure is part of the retrieval device. In addition, the closure is set up to open the bottle

1. a) in the case of a male fastener, a force of between 5 and 200 N is required,
2. b) in the case of a screw cap torque between 0.25 and 10 Nm is required, or
3. c) in the case of a closure fastened with a locking element, the closure must be unlocked by means of an actuating element, or
4. d) in the case of a snap closure, a force between 5 N and 200 N is required.

By choosing a closure that can be opened only with a certain minimum required force, a minimum required torque or unlocking by means of an actuator, it is achieved that the closure is securely connected to the bottle body and can not be detached from the bottle body, when the bottle is used for sexual stimulation. This is especially important if the bottle is held in place on the closure during use. But even if the bottle is inserted with the closure ahead in a body opening can be dangerous, should the closure release. For example, it could trap skin between the closure and the bottle body, or the closure could release sharp-edged parts of the bottle body if it breaks loose. Unintentional opening of the closure would also result in the product taken up in the bottle leaking, possibly irritating or even injuring mucous membranes. In this case, it is preferable if the torque required for opening or the force required for opening not only at the first opening but also at a repeated opening is within the specified range.

The liquid or gel products are, for example, personal care products, preferably deodorants, hairsprays, shower gels, soaps, shaving cream, shaving gel, night cream, lubricants, massage oil or the like. Instead of personal care products, the inclusion of other products is conceivable. For example, the bottle can also hold drinks. For receiving the liquid or gel products of the bottle body is provided with a cavity and an opening, wherein the closure is adapted to seal the opening so that in the closed state, the product can not escape from the bottle.

In one embodiment, the opening faces the first side of the bottle, with the first side facing up when placing the bottle on a plane. In another embodiment, the opening faces the second side of the bottle, which faces down when the bottle is turned off.

The first side of the bottle has a domed surface and is predominantly elongated, so that the bottle can be easily inserted with the first side forward into a body opening such as a woman's vagina or anus. In addition, the shape of the bottle is designed predominantly elongated, so that it is shaped together with the curvature on the first page similar to a dildo. In this case, the bottle body preferably has a substantially round or oval cross-section, it being here meant by "substantially" that deviations from a round or oval shape are conceivable by means of bulges or indentations. In other variants of the bottle, the cross section can also correspond to a polygon with rounded corners. In order to avoid injury is provided that the transition between the curved surface and the lateral surface of the bottle without sharp edges. For the purposes of this description, a "sharp edge" is an edge with a radius of curvature of, for example, less than 2 mm, less than 1 mm or less than 0.5 mm. Furthermore, it is preferred if the part of the surface of the bottle which can be inserted into a body opening is smoothly shaped, a smooth shape being understood to mean that a curve which describes this shape is arbitrarily often continuously differentiable. Preferably, the parts of the bottle to be inserted into a body opening are free from sharp edges.

In the area of the opposite second side, a return device is provided. This is preferably designed so that it can be easily grasped with the fingers, so that force can be exerted on the bottle without the fingers slipping off the bottle. The return device is for example designed as a constriction of the bottle. The constriction is on the one hand suitable to keep the bottle when inserting into a body opening safely and also to retrieve it from the body opening. On the other hand results from the constriction of the bottle a shape that recalls depending on the depth of the constriction of a so-called anal plug. When inserted into the anus, the bottle will thus only slide into the intestine as far as the constriction and then become trapped in the region of the constriction by the sphincter, so that the bottle does not completely disappear into the body opening.

The constriction is preferably carried out so that the smallest circumference in the region of the constriction is preferably between 1 and 27 cm and particularly preferably between 1.5 and 18 cm. In other variants of the invention, the circumference in the region of the constriction is set so that it is chosen between 1 and 27 cm smaller than the largest circumference of the bottle.

In further variants of the invention, the restraint device is designed as a handle, which is received in a recess formed on the second side of the flat. In this way, despite the arrangement of the handle, the bottle can be placed downwards with the second side, the handle being concealed on the bottle thus parked and thus not being visible. The handle may for example be shaped like a knob. The handle can also be configured together with the trough as a recessed grip or it can, similar to a bowling ball, handle openings or finger holes are provided.

Preferably, one side of the bottle, for example, the second side, designed so that the bottle can be turned off with this side down on a flat surface. For this purpose, this page may include a flat surface, a trough or a wreath. Other shapes are conceivable that allow a parking of the bottle. In an embodiment of the page, it is not necessary that the outline corresponds to the cross section of the bottle body. So it is conceivable, for example, in a round Cross-section of the bottle body to execute the flat surface or the garland, oval or in the form of a regular polygon.

In a variant of the invention, in which the closure is arranged in the region of the second side of the bottle, the closure is designed so that it additionally serves as a stand for the opened bottle. For this purpose, the removed closure is placed with the second side down and introduced the bottle with its first side, which includes the curved surface, down into the closure.

To prevent possible injuries it is envisaged that a gap, which is located between the closure and the bottle body, is free of sharp edges. This is particularly important for embodiments in which the closure is located in the region of the first side of the bottle, that is, the side that is in front when the bottle is inserted. Preferably, the joint between the closure and the bottle body is carried out completely closed. A completely closed joint is here understood to mean that the closure and the bottle body touch each other in the region of the joint, wherein any remaining gap between the two parts of the bottle is preferably not greater than 0.2 mm.

For the closure different variants are possible, the closure on one side should not solve too easily, as it should remain firmly on the bottle body when using the bottle. On the other hand, the closure must not be too difficult to solve, because the bottle should be to open the removal of the recorded product without tools. Accordingly, the forces necessary for opening the closures according to alternatives a) and d) or, in alternative b), the torque required for opening are selected such that no tool is required for opening and at the same time unintentional opening of the closure is precluded.

In a screw cap according to alternative b), the bottle body in the region of the opening on an external thread which is adapted to engage in a corresponding internal thread of a closure designed as a lid or an internal thread which is arranged in a corresponding external thread of the closure designed as a lid intervene. It is provided that for opening at least a torque of 0.25 Nm is required. The required torque is preferably at least 0.35 Nm and more preferably the required torque is at least 0.5 Nm. This torque must preferably be achieved only at the beginning of the opening of the closure, after the closure is already partially unscrewed, it is preferred that the torque required for further opening is smaller. If the inhibition of the thread is not sufficient to achieve the desired torque, ratchets or similar elements may optionally be placed in the closure to increase the torque required to open to the required size.

So that no tool is required to open the closure, the torque required for opening should preferably not be greater than 8 Nm and more preferably not greater than 6 Nm. It is conceivable to provide a larger torque for larger closures, as for smaller closures.

In embodiments according to alternative a) plugged closures are used. In this case, the closure and the bottle body snap elements and corresponding projections, which form a positive connection when placing the lid on the bottle, which can be solved again only with a defined effort. The force required to open should be less than 200 N and greater than 5 N. Preferably, the force is between 10 N and 180 N, more preferably between 15 N and 160 N.

In variants according to alternative c) act between the closure and the bottle body, a locking element and an associated recess together, similar to a click fastener for straps in a backpack. Depending on the embodiment, one or more latching elements and corresponding recesses may be provided. Likewise, the locking elements can be arranged depending on the embodiment either on the closure or on the bottle body, wherein in each case the corresponding recesses are arranged on the respective other part of the bottle. In each case, a latching element and a recess enter into a positive connection when closing the bottle, which prevents opening of the closure, for example by pulling off the closure. To open the shutter is the Locking element or are the locking elements with the help of an actuating element, which is manually operated, extracted from the positive connection with the corresponding recesses. As a result, the closure is unlocked, so that a removal of the closure from the bottle body is allowed.

In variants according to alternative d), the closure comprises a hinge, over which a lid of the closure can be opened for opening or a metering opening of the closure can be brought into an open position. The hinge may for example be designed as a film hinge, when the closure is made of a plastic. Depending on the variant embodiment, the flip-top closure can be embodied in one piece with the bottle body, be firmly connected to the bottle body by means of gluing or welding or be part of a closure attached according to alternative a) or screwed on according to alternative b). Further folding closure variants which are generally known to the person skilled in the art are likewise conceivable, wherein, in particular when the closure is arranged on the first side, it is important that the closure be executed free from sharp edges.

The force required to open the closure according to alternative d) should be less than 200 N and greater than 5 N. The force required is preferably between 10 N and 180 N, particularly preferably between 15 N and 160 N.

In a variant of the invention, the bottle body comprises at least one recessed grip or at least one Griffausbuchtung. About this recessed grip or Griffausbuchtung, which is preferably arranged on the lateral surface of the bottle body, the bottle body can be held securely, so that the necessary opening of the closure torque or the force necessary for opening can be easily applied. The recessed grip or the Griffausbuchtung are also designed without sharp edges and go continuously into the lateral surface of the bottle body.

In one embodiment of the invention, the bottle body has a closable by the closure metering, which is adapted for the removal of the liquid or gel products. It can be provided to select the cross section of the metering opening in dependence on the consistency of the product received in the bottle, wherein, for example, in the case of low viscosity or low-viscosity products, a small metering opening is selected, for example with a diameter between 1 mm and 30 mm. In the case of highly viscous or gel products whose viscosity is greater than about 5000 mPa · s, a larger metering opening, for example with a diameter of 2 to 90 mm, is preferably selected.

In a further variant of the invention, the bottle body comprises an applicator ball, wherein the closure is arranged to cover the applicator ball in the closed state. With the application ball, the products contained in the bottle, in particular personal care products such as deodorants, can be easily applied to the corresponding parts of the body. Such balls are generally known to those skilled in the art and are commonly used in deodorant scooters.

In other embodiments of the invention, it is also conceivable to provide other applicators instead of an applicator in the form of an applicator ball. For example, a spray device or the like could be placed under the closure.

In one embodiment of the invention, the bottle body, in particular in the region of the lateral surface, designed compliant, so that the bottle body can be crushed to remove the recorded products. This facilitates in particular the removal of highly viscous products which would otherwise be difficult to remove from the bottle exclusively under the influence of gravity.

In another embodiment of the invention, the bottle body is rigid. This allows, for example, when using the bottle for sexual stimulation to exert a greater pressure without the bottle yields or deforms. Another advantage of the rigid design is that the bottle can contain a pressurized liquid, such as can absorb a hair spray or deodorant spray.

The material for the bottle is preferably selected from a glass, a plastic, a silicone, a composite, a metal or metal sheet or a combination of at least two of these materials, wherein the Bottle body and the closure may be made of the same material or of different materials, depending on the variant.

As plastics, for example, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) are suitable.

When selecting the material, it must be taken into account that the material should be suitable for contact with mucous membranes, ie it should neither release toxic substances nor be designed in such a way that the mucous membranes are irritated or injured during contact. Furthermore, for reasons of hygiene, materials which have a smooth surface or a lotus-effect surface are preferred. Surfaces designed in this way are easy to clean.

In further embodiments, it is provided to structure the surface, in particular the lateral surface, of the bottle body. This can be done for example by arranging nubs or corrugation and by roughening the surface. This has the further advantage that the bottle can be better held in the hand when overcoming the force of opening and thus is easier to open.

In one embodiment of the invention, wherein the bottle comprises a screw cap according to alternative b), a smaller torque is required for closing than for opening, wherein the torque required for closing preferably does not exceed 0.5 Nm and more preferably 0.1 Nm. In particular, the required torque can be set to be <= 10% of the torque required for opening. In this way it is ensured that the bottle can be easily completely closed again after opening, so that no gap remains between the closure and the bottle body. The different torques when opening and closing the screwed closure can be adjusted, for example, via ratchet-like elements in the closure, wherein the ratchet-like elements oppose the rotation in a direction of rotation of the screw less resistance than in the other direction. Preferably, the screw cap is designed so that the closure noticeably engages or the closure a noticeable Stop, so that the user of the bottle can feel when the bottle is correctly and completely closed.

When using a plugged closure according to alternative a) or a snap closure according to alternative d), it is also preferred if the force required for closing fails less than the force required for opening. In particular, the required force can be set so that this <= 10% of the force required to open. For example, the required force is between 0.1 N and 5 N.

In a variant of the invention, the closure comprises at least one recessed grip. This makes it possible to grasp the closure well. The recessed grip can have an arbitrarily shaped cross section. In particular, the cross-section may be round, oval or a polygon, a wreath and a star. It is also possible to structure the surface within the recessed grip, for example by knobs or a corrugation.

In one embodiment of the invention, the lateral surface of the bottle body, seen in the axial direction, a curvature, which merges to the first side in the curvature of the first side. This curvature of the lateral surface can be obtained, for example, by tapering the diameter in the direction of the first side in the case of a bottle body with a round cross section. By such a taper, the insertion of the bottle into a body opening can be facilitated. Preferably, the bottle is designed conically tapering, so that the cross-sectional area of the bottle tapers in the direction of the first side.

In one embodiment of the invention, the bottle body has at least one bead. If the bottle body is again designed with a round cross section, then the bead represents an area in which the diameter is increased compared to the rest of the bottle body, whereby a continuous transition from the bead to the remaining lateral surface is ensured to avoid sharp edges. By using one or more such beads, a special stimulus can be exerted when using the bottle for sexual stimulation, since the bead offers increased resistance to repeated in-and-out versions of the bottle.

To be easily inserted into body openings such as the vagina of a woman or the anus and at the same time be able to absorb a sufficient amount of product, the bottle should be sized accordingly. For this purpose, for example, provided that the largest circumference of the bottle is between 5 and 30 cm, with a circumference between 6 and 20 cm is preferred and a circumference between 7 and 18 cm is particularly preferred. The height of the bottle, for example, should be between 5 and 40 cm, with a height between 6 and 35 cm being preferred and a height between 7 and 30 cm being particularly preferred.

Also crucial to the ease of insertion of the bottle is the design of the curvature on the first side of the bottle.

In one embodiment, the shape of the domed surface on the first side of the bottle is a section of a spherical surface having a radius of curvature between 0.5 cm and 4.8 cm, with a radius of curvature of 0.7 cm to 3.0 cm being preferred.

In another variant, the curved surface is obtained, in which the edges of a flat surface are strongly rounded, a strong rounding a radius of curvature between 5 mm and 48 mm is understood.

In another variant, the shape of the curved surface on the first side of the bottle is an elliptical paraboloid or a section of an elliptical paraboloid.

Preferably, the shape of the cross section of the bottle body and the closure, the height of the bottle, the circumference of the bottle and the curvature of the first side of the bottle are chosen so that the resulting shape of the bottle is reminiscent of a dildo. In this way, a bottle is obtained which without restrictions is suitable for the storage of liquid or gel products, in particular personal care products, and at the same time can be safely used for sexual stimulation.

Further aspects of the invention relate to the use of one of the described bottles for sexual stimulation. In doing so, the bottle with the first page advanced into a body opening such as the vagina of a woman or an anus introduced, optionally reciprocated or rotated back and forth.

Advantages of the invention

The bottle according to the invention comprises a secure closure which can only be opened with a comparatively great expenditure of force. This allows a safe use of the bottle for sexual stimulation, in which the bottle is inserted into a body opening. The user does not have to fear that the closure will come loose from the bottle. If the closure is arranged on the side of the bottle which is inserted into the body opening in the first place, otherwise sharp-edged parts of the bottle could be exposed and the product received in the bottle could enter the body opening. If the closure is located on the opposite side over which the bottle is held during sexual stimulation, retrieving the bottle from the body opening can be made much more difficult if the closure is to loosen. Compared to the usual purpose alienation of ordinary bottles, the safety for users is thus significantly improved.

Furthermore, it is advantageous that the bottle simultaneously fulfills the function of a container for holding liquid or gel products, in particular body care products or drinks. The bottle can thus be stored in the household as usual alongside other beverage bottles or body care products, without their added benefits for sexual stimulation immediately striking. This is particularly advantageous when traveling, since the bottle according to the invention can be accommodated inconspicuously in comparison to a normal dildo.

Due to the mass production, as is customary in the field of packaging for personal care products or beverage packaging, the proposed bottle can also be produced inexpensively compared to a dildo.

In the following description of the embodiments of the invention, the same or similar components and elements are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals, wherein a repeated description of these components or elements is dispensed with in individual cases. The figures illustrate the subject matter of the invention only schematically.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a bottle according to the invention 10. The bottle 10 comprises a bottle body 12 and a closure 14. The bottle body 12 has a cavity in the interior. For example, liquid or gel products, in particular personal care products, can be accommodated in this cavity. The cavity comprises a Opening which is closed with the closure 14 so that the product received in the cavity can not escape.

The bottle 10 includes in the illustrated closed state, a first side 16, a second side 18 and a lateral surface 20. The second side 18 is configured so that the bottle 10 with the second side 18 pointing down can be placed on a flat surface without tipping over. It is not necessary that the second side 18 has a flat surface. So is in FIG. 1 a variant embodiment shown in which the second side 18 has three extensions 19, which serve the bottle 10 as "feet", so that they can safely stand on a flat surface.

The first side 16 of the bottle 10 has a curved surface 22, which in the in FIG. 1 illustrated embodiment is carried out by way of example as a paraboloid.

The lateral surface 20 of the bottle 10 is in the illustrated embodiment, seen in the axial direction, also curved. In this case, "axial direction" means the direction from the second side 18 to the first side 16. The cross section of the bottle body 12 is circular in this case, the diameter of the circles, seen in the axial direction, varying due to the curvature of the lateral surface 20. In this case, as seen from the second side 18, the diameter first increases and, after reaching a maximum diameter 34, the diameter decreases again. The curvature of the lateral surface 20 is designed so that the lateral surface merges seamlessly and continuously into the curved surface 22 of the first side 16.

The closure 14 in this embodiment comprises the second side 18 of the bottle 10 and has a constriction 30. The constriction 30 serves as a return device with which the bottle 10 can be safely gripped. This is important to be able to pull out the bottle 10 again after insertion into a body opening. For the shaping of the constriction 30 many variants are conceivable. So can the constriction 30, as in the FIG. 1 represented, seen in the axial direction to be designed parabolic. But also a wedge shape, as later related to FIG. 4 described or asymmetrical embodiments in which the cross section of the bottle before the constriction 30 is different than after the constriction 30, are conceivable.

Depending on the embodiment variant, the closure 14 can be embodied as a screwed closure, as a plugged closure, as a hinged closure or as a closure to be unlocked via an actuating element, wherein it is ensured in each of these variants that the closure 14 is not unintentionally released from the bottle body 12. Thus, the illustrated bottle 10 can be safely inserted with the first side 16 forward into a body opening and held securely on the closure 14.

Furthermore, the closure 14 is designed so that in the closed state of the bottle 10, a gap 32 between the closure 14 and the bottle body 12 is small and ideally completely closed. The remaining gap 32 is for example preferably less than 0.2 mm. As a result, the risk of injury is prevented, emanating from any existing sharp edges on the joint 32.

FIG. 2 represents a further embodiment of a bottle 10 according to the invention. In contrast to the embodiment of the FIG. 1 the lateral surface 20 of the bottle body 12, seen in the axial direction, not curved, so that over the entire length of the bottle body 12, the same maximum diameter 34 is present.

The second page 18 is in the in FIG. 2 illustrated embodiment designed as a flat surface 23 and allows the bottle 10 safely turn off on a flat surface.

In order to better grip the bottle body 12, in the embodiment of the FIG. 2 a recessed grip 24 arranged on the lateral surface 20 of the bottle body 12. This grip 24 can be easily grasped with a finger, so that the bottle body 12 can be held firmly, which is particularly advantageous in embodiments in which the closure 14 is designed as a screwed closure.

FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of the bottle 10, wherein, in contrast to the two embodiments described above, the closure 14 is not in the region of the second side 18, but in the region of the first side 16 is arranged. It is particularly important that the gap 32 between the closure 14 and the bottle body 12 is made as small as possible.

Furthermore, the representation of the FIG. 3 It can be seen that the return device designed as a constriction 30 is now located on the bottle body 12, so that it is still arranged in the vicinity of the second side 18.

In order to grip the bottle body safely, this has in the embodiment of the FIG. 3 via a Griffausbuchtung 26 on the lateral surface 22 and in the region of the second side 18 via additional recessed grips 24th

FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of the bottle 10, in which the closure 14 is again arranged in the region of the second side 18.

In this embodiment, a handle recess 26 is again arranged on the lateral surface 20 of the bottle body 12. Furthermore, the closure 14 has a plurality of recessed grips 28. Thereby, both the bottle body 12 and the shutter 14 can be grasped well, so that the user of the bottle can easily exert a large torque on the shutter 14.

The return device is again designed as a constriction 30, wherein this is designed wedge-shaped. The tip of the wedge is preferably rounded to avoid sharp edges.

FIG. 5 shows a sectional view of an opened bottle, which was turned off with the help of its closure.

In FIG. 5 an embodiment of the bottle 10 is shown with a designed as a screw closure 14. In the presentation of the FIG. 5 the bottle 10 is shown opened, so that an opening 48 of the bottle body 12 is released. In the region of the opening 48, the bottle body 12 has a bottleneck, which is provided with an external thread 42. The closure 14 has an internal thread 44, which is arranged to cooperate with the external thread 42, so that the bottle body 12 is closable with the closure 14.

The bottle 10 is in the in FIG. 5 illustrated situation with the first side 16, which includes the curved surface 22, turned down. Thus, the bottle 10 does not tip over the bottle body 12 is supported by the closure 14, which in addition to the internal thread 44 and a curved recess 46 includes.
