Definitions

  • the present invention relates to liquid containers having lenticular labels, and more particularly to containers having a lens or lens array formed in the sidewall of a container.
  • lensing effects are known, such as in some liquor bottles, in order to be noticed behind a bar, the natural magnification of a curved bottle shows an inward facing image on a label on the opposite side.
  • Many plastic water bottles have irregular surfaces so that the water within exhibits random lensing effects.
  • US Pat 7,057,823B1 to Raymond discusses locating an image on one side of a container, which is imaged by, instead of a barrier strip, lenses molded into the opposite side.
  • this requires extra glass or plastic to be used.
  • the thickness of the container commonly on the order of 3/16" or more, must be at least as thick as the narrowest portion of the lenses, and the lenses, if covering a substantial portion of one side, add to the volume of material. Or, if the lenses are to be recessed to the same curved plane as the outside of the bottle, this requirement makes the whole bottle thicker.
  • Such a dual-display container may also be formed as a single container, rather than putting two containers together, and made such that the clear fluid fills both halves, thus requiring only one mouth.
  • the indented section may have flat sides, or sides shaped in lens contours. If lens shaped, the indented section may be slightly enlarged, and the lenses have a focal plane at that of the inserted image, with the outer container sides being flat for viewing. If the hollow section's sides are flat, the outer sides of the container are formed as lens shapes whose focal length is at the plane of the inserted image.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a top view of an embodiment having double containers attached back to back, with each container having its own mouth and discrete interior region;
  • Fig. 3 is a top view of an embodiment also having double containers, but wherein the containers are joined internally and having a single mouth, and a perspective view of the same container;
  • Fig. 4 is another embodiment which has images spaced from the lens walls.
  • Fig. 5 shows a schematic approximation of a single lens in a lens array, and the path taken by light rays when the container is filled with a clear liquid whose index of refraction is
  • Fig. 4 shows a container whose lensed sides focus within the container at the plane of an inserted image, printed on a flexible substrate, which is rolled or otherwise compressed, so as to be able to be inserted through the container mouth, and subsequently springs open, disposing itself at the focal plane of the lensed sides, by means of spacers formed into the flexible image or the container.
  • Figure 5 shows an enlarged view of a single lens element within an array, and the paths taken by light rays in a fluid-filled versus an empty container.
  • the container wall "A" is of a uniform thickness, which, in a plastic bottle may be as thin as about 0.005". If the container, as shown in area "B", is empty, the light rays, "D" will pass through the wall with little deviation to their direction, since the change in refractive index of 1 from the outer air, to very approximately 1.5 of the glass or plastic (somewhat higher for PET plastic, commonly used in plastic bottles) is reversed when the rays pass from the wall back to air inside the container. The result is that the rays do not focus.
  • the thin, curved surface of the container wall acts in conjunction with the contained fluid as a single lens, much like a "doublet” lens made of two types of glass, and the light rays focus as determined by the radius of curvature of the container surface.
  • the light rays are shown traveling into the container, but of course travel in both directions and an observer on the array- side of the container will see label's inner image as an optical display showing three- dimensionality, motion, or any of those properties commonly associated with such lens arrays.
