Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine wiederverwendbare Trinkflasche, die mit einer Flüssigkeit befüllbar ist und die einen Verschluss aufweist. Vorzugsweise geht es nicht um Trinkflaschen, in denen der Handel Getränke verkauft, sondern um solche, die z. B. bei Wanderungen zur Deckung des Flüssigkeitsbedarfs mitgeführt und vom Nutzer selbst befüllt werden.The invention relates to a reusable drinking bottle that can be filled with a liquid and has a closure. Preferably, it is not about drinking bottles in which the trade sells drinks, but those that z. B. be carried along on hikes to cover the liquid requirement and filled by the user himself.

Derartige Trinkflaschen sind vielfältigst bekannt z. B. als Thermosflaschen, die die Flüssigkeit in einem gesonderten Thermoeinsatz für eine gewisse Zeit auf dem Temperaturniveau beim Einfüllen halten. Das Thermosflaschengehäuse weist einen abschraubbaren Deckel auf, der als Trinkbecher nutzbar ist, während der Thermoseinsatz gesondert verschlossen wird, gewöhnlich mit einem Stopfen.Such drinking bottles are widely known z. B. as thermos bottles that keep the liquid in a separate thermal insert for a certain time at the temperature level when filling. The thermos body has a screw-off lid that can be used as a drinking cup, while the thermos insert is sealed separately, usually with a stopper.

Aus der US 2012/0168541 A1 ist eine Trinkflasche bekannt, deren abschraubbarer Verschluss als Trinkbecher nutzbar ist.From the US 2012/0168541 A1 a drinking bottle is known whose cap that can be screwed off can be used as a drinking cup.

Aufwendig ist bei dieser Trinkflasche ebenso wie bei den eingangs benannten Thermosflaschen die Reinigung, denn diese muss über die Verschlussöffnung vorgenommen werden, die gewöhnlich deutlich kleiner ist als der innere Umfang der Trinkflasche.Cleaning this drinking bottle is just as time-consuming as it is with the thermos bottles mentioned at the beginning, because this has to be done through the closure opening, which is usually significantly smaller than the inner circumference of the drinking bottle.

Dieses Reinigungsproblem weist die Trinkflasche nach der US 2010/0084362 A1 nicht auf, denn neben der Verschlussöffnung ist hier zusätzlich der gesamte Flaschenkopf abschraubbar, so dass ein optimaler Zugang in das Innere der Trinkflasche gewährleistet ist. Nachteilig ist, dass beim Aufschrauben des Verschlusses der Flaschenkopf mit aufgedreht werden kann und das für den abgeschraubten Flaschenkopf keine Verwendung besteht.The drinking bottle has this cleaning problem after the U.S. 2010/0084362 A1 not open, because in addition to the closure opening, the entire bottle head can also be unscrewed, so that optimal access to the inside of the drinking bottle is possible is guaranteed. The disadvantage is that when the cap is unscrewed, the bottle head can also be unscrewed and there is no use for the unscrewed bottle head.

Die DE 20 2016 006 538 U1 beschreibt einen Dosieraufsatz für Farben, Lacke, Harze usw., der zwei Öffnungen aufweist, deren Verschlüsse die ebene Oberfläche und den Umfang des Aufsatzes nicht überragen.the DE 20 2016 006 538 U1 describes a dosing attachment for paints, varnishes, resins, etc., which has two openings whose closures do not protrude beyond the flat surface and the circumference of the attachment.

Aus der US 2012/01 68 451 A1 ist ein Trinkbecher mit einem rohrförmigen Vorsprung, der nach unten geformt ist und ein Innengewinde aufweist, das es ermöglicht, ihn drehbar an einer Flasche mit einem kleinen zylindrischen Hals anzubringen und von dieser zu lösen, bekannt. Das Innengewinde arbeitet mit einem Außengewinde zusammen, das auf den kleinen zylindrischen Hals der Flasche aufgespritzt wird, so dass der Trinkbecher als Verschluss dienen kann, um die Flasche zu verschließen, wenn sie überkopf getragen wird.From the US 2012/01 68 451 A1 a drinking cup is known with a tubular protrusion shaped downwards and having an internal thread which enables it to be rotatably attached to and detached from a bottle with a small cylindrical neck. The internal thread cooperates with an external thread which is overmolded onto the small cylindrical neck of the bottle so that the drinking cup can act as a cap to close the bottle when carried overhead.

Aus der WO 2016/201054 A1 ist ein Mischbehälter bekannt, der so konstruiert ist, dass er zerlegbar ist, so dass seine Einzelteile gründlich gereinigt werden können. Der Behälter hat einen abnehmbaren Boden, der eine Ventileinheit enthält, durch die Flüssigkeitskonzentrate aus einer austauschbaren Schale zugegeben werden können. In einigen Ausführungsformen ist ein Messbecher Teil des abnehmbaren Bodens. In anderen Ausführungsformen ist ein Messbecher in den Behälter integriert.From the WO 2016/201054 A1 a mixing container is known which is constructed in such a way that it can be dismantled so that its individual parts can be thoroughly cleaned. The container has a removable base containing a valve assembly through which liquid concentrates can be added from a replaceable bowl. In some embodiments, a measuring cup is part of the removable base. In other embodiments, a measuring cup is integrated into the container.

Letztlich beschreibt die US 2014/042164 A1 einen wiederverschließbaren Getränkebehälter, der eine Kappe umfasst, die sich zwischen den Positionen Lagern, Öffnen, Entfernen und Wiederverschließen bewegt. Stege werden verwendet, um die Öffnungskraft zu verstärken, die im Allgemeinen durch den Eingriff zwischen dem Sockel und der Kappe entsteht. Ein elastomeres Dichtungselement ist zwischen der Kappe und dem Stutzen angeordnet, so dass, wenn sich die Kappe in der vollständig sitzenden oder abgedichteten Position befindet, eine luftdichte oder zumindest im Wesentlichen luftdichte Abdichtung geschaffen wird, um zu verhindern, dass der Inhalt des Behälters ausläuft. Es werden weitere Verbesserungen offengelegt, die eine Kerblinienstruktur in der Bodenwand des Sockels umfassen, die ein vorhersehbares und wiederholbares Öffnen des Behälters entlang der Kerblinie ermöglicht. Es ist ein Griff vorgesehen, der eine Lücke oder einen Zwischenraum enthält, in den eine Münze oder ein anderes Gerät eingeführt werden kann, um dem Verbraucher einen besseren Griff zu ermöglichen und eine angemessene Öffnungskraft zu gewährleisten.Ultimately describes the U.S. 2014/042164 A1 a reclosable beverage container that includes a cap that moves between storage, opening, removal, and reclosing positions. Bars are used to increase the opening force, which is generally created by the engagement between the base and the cap. An elastomeric sealing member is disposed between the cap and the neck so that when the cap is in the fully seated or sealed position, an airtight, or at least substantially airtight seal is created to prevent the contents of the container from leaking out. Further improvements are disclosed including a score line structure in the bottom wall of the base that allows for predictable and repeatable opening of the container along the score line. A handle is provided that includes a gap or space into which a coin or other device can be inserted to provide the consumer with a better grip and to ensure adequate opening force.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den Flaschenkopf der Trinkflasche im abgeschraubten Zustand einer Verwendung zuführen oder zweckmäßig unterzubringen. Ferner soll beim Aufschrauben des Verschlusses der Trinkflasche ein gleichzeitiges Aufdrehen des Flaschenkopfes verhindert werden.The object of the invention is to use the bottle head of the drinking bottle in the unscrewed state or to accommodate it appropriately. Furthermore, when the cap of the drinking bottle is being screwed on, the bottle head should be prevented from being opened at the same time.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 oder des Anspruches 8. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This problem is solved with the features of claim 1 or claim 8. Advantageous configurations are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

Bei einer Trinkflasche, aufweisend einen Flaschenkörper mit einem unten angeordneten Flaschenboden, einem sich nach oben an den Flaschenkörper anschließenden Flaschenkopf, wobei der Flaschenkopf mit dem Flaschenkörper mittels einer Gewindepaarung verschraubt ist, und einen am Flaschenkopf angeordneten mit einer Tülle des Flaschenkopfes verschraubbaren Flaschenverschluss ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Trinkflasche bodenseitig ein auf den Flaschenkörper aufschraubbares oder aufsteckbares Behältnis aufweist, das zumindest so dimensioniert ist, dass es im aufgeschraubten oder aufgesteckten Zustand den Flaschenkopf aufnehmen kann, wenn dieser nicht anderweitig genutzt wird oder dass der Flaschenboden eine in den Flaschenkörper weisende Negativform, vorzugsweise der äußeren Form des Flaschenkopfes entsprechend, aufweist, so dass der abgeschraubte Flaschenkopf zumindest teilweise, vorzugsweise auch vollstädig, flaschenbodenseitig in den Flaschenkörper einsetzbar ist. Auf diese Weise wird der Flaschenkopf sicher verstaut, indem er bodenseitig am Flaschenkörper in das aufschraubbare oder aufsteckbare Behältnis eingelagert wird, oder er übernimmt die Funktion eines Standfußes.In a drinking bottle, having a bottle body with a bottle base arranged at the bottom, a bottle head adjoining the bottle body at the top, with the bottle head being screwed to the bottle body by means of a pair of threads, and a bottle cap arranged on the bottle head that can be screwed to a spout of the bottle head, the invention provides that the drinking bottle has a bottom on the Bottle body has a container that can be screwed on or plugged on, which is at least dimensioned so that it can accommodate the bottle head when screwed on or plugged on if it is not used for other purposes, or that the bottle bottom has a negative shape pointing into the bottle body, preferably corresponding to the outer shape of the bottle head, has, so that the unscrewed bottle head can be used at least partially, preferably also completely, on the bottle base side in the bottle body. In this way, the bottle head is safely stowed away by being stored in the container that can be screwed on or attached to the bottom of the bottle body, or it takes on the function of a stand.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung sieht vor, dass der Flaschenverschluss oder die Tülle allein den oberen Abschnitt des Flaschenkopfes nicht überragt.An advantageous embodiment provides that the bottle cap or the spout alone does not protrude beyond the upper section of the bottle head.

Dadurch, dass der Flaschenverschluss oder die Tülle allein den oberen Abschnitt des Flaschenkopfes nicht überragt, wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, den oberen Abschnitt des Flaschenkopfes als ebene Fläche vollflächig oder in Abschnitten auszubilden. Damit kann der Flaschenkopf - um 180° gedreht - auf einer ebenfalls flächigen Unterlage abgestellt und als weiteres Trinkgefäß genutzt werden. Ansonsten verfügt der Flaschenkörper ohne Flaschenkopf bereits über alle notwendigen Ausgestaltungen eines Trinkbechers.The fact that the bottle cap or the spout alone does not protrude beyond the upper section of the bottle head creates the possibility of forming the upper section of the bottle head as a flat surface over the entire surface or in sections. This means that the head of the bottle - turned 180° - can also be placed on a flat surface and used as another drinking vessel. Otherwise, the bottle body without the bottle head already has all the necessary configurations of a drinking cup.

Natürlich ist es auch möglich, den oberen Abschnitt des Flaschenkopfes eine Form abweichend von der ebenen zu geben, mit der eine Anpassung an eine bestimmte Verwendung beim Abstellen erreicht werden soll.Of course, it is also possible to give the upper portion of the bottle head a shape deviating from the plane, with which an adaptation to a specific use when storing is to be achieved.

Der Flaschenkopf als nicht benötigtes Teil verschwindet so, wenn der Flaschenkörper allein als Trinkbecher genutzt wird. Da der Flaschenkopf glatt abschließt, entsteht so eine Standfläche - ein Standring - für den Flaschenkörper, jetzt in der Funktion Trinkbecher, unabhängig wie sonst der Bodenrand des Flaschenkörpers ausgebildet ist.The bottle head, as a part that is not required, disappears when the bottle body is used alone as a drinking cup. Since the bottle head closes off smoothly, this creates a base - a base ring - for the bottle body, now in the drinking cup function, regardless of how the bottom edge of the bottle body is designed.

Bevorzugt geht der Flaschenkopf beim Einsetzen in den Boden des Flaschenkörpers mit diesem eine leicht lösbare Rast-oder Klemmverbindung ein, so dass er nicht beim Trinken herausfallen kann.Preferably, when the bottle head is inserted into the bottom of the bottle body, it enters into an easily detachable latching or clamping connection, so that it cannot fall out while drinking.

Mit dieser Form der Ausgestaltung wird die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabestellung auch allein gelöst, nämlich den Flaschenkopf einer weiteren Verwendung zuzuführen.With this form of embodiment, the task according to the invention is also achieved on its own, namely to supply the bottle head with a further use.

Für eine Trinkflasche mit einem Standfuß, aufweisend einen Flaschenkörper mit einem unten angeordneten Flaschenboden, einem sich nach oben an den Flaschenkörper anschließenden Flaschenkopf, wobei der Flaschenkopf mit dem Flaschenkörper mittels einer Gewindepaarung verschraubt ist, und einen am Flaschenkopf angeordneten mit einer Tülle des Flaschenkopfes verschraubbaren Flaschenverschluss ist deshalb erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass der Flaschenboden eine in den Flaschenkörper weisende Negativform aufweist, so dass der abgeschraubte Flaschenkopf zumindest teilweise, vorzugsweise auch vollständig, flaschenbodenseitig in den Flaschenkörper einsetzbar ist.For a drinking bottle with a base, having a bottle body with a bottle base arranged at the bottom, a bottle head adjoining the bottle body at the top, the bottle head being screwed to the bottle body by means of a pair of threads, and a bottle cap arranged on the bottle head that can be screwed to a spout of the bottle head is therefore provided according to the invention that the bottle base has a negative shape pointing into the bottle body, so that the unscrewed bottle head can be inserted at least partially, preferably also completely, into the bottle body on the bottle base side.

Der Flaschenkopf als nicht benötigtes Teil verschwindet so, wenn der Flaschenkörper als Trinkbecher genutzt wird. Da der Flaschenkopf glatt abschließt, entsteht so ein Standfuß - ein Standring - für den Flaschenkörper, jetzt in der Funktion Trinkbecher, unabhängig wie sonst der Bodenrand des Flaschenkörpers ausgebildet ist.The bottle head, which is not required, disappears when the bottle body is used as a drinking cup. Since the bottle head is smooth, a base is created - a base ring - for the bottle body, now in the function of a drinking cup, regardless of how the bottom edge of the bottle body is otherwise designed.

Vorzugsweise entspricht die Negativform der äußeren Form des Flaschenkopfes, zumindest aber seinem oberen Abschnitt.The negative shape preferably corresponds to the outer shape of the bottle head, but at least to its upper section.

Auch bei dieser Ausführung geht der Flaschenkopf beim Einsetzen in den Boden des Flaschenkörpers bevorzugt mit diesem eine leicht lösbare Verbindung, vorzugsweise eine Rast- oder Klemmverbindung, e.in, so dass er beim Trinken aus dem Flaschenkörper nicht herausfallen kann.In this embodiment, too, the bottle head, when inserted into the bottom of the bottle body, preferably has an easily detachable connection, preferably a latching or clamping connection, so that it cannot fall out of the bottle body when drinking.

Bevorzugt ist bei den Trinkflaschen gemäß Anspruch 1 und der Trinkflasche mit einem Standfuß gemäß Anspruch 8 für ein leichteres Auf- oder Zudrehen der Gewindepaarung Flaschenkopf-Flaschenkörper vorgesehen, dass der Flaschenkopf und hier insbesondere die obige ebene Fläche vorzugsweise zwei Ausnehmungen oder Einbeulungen und zwischen diesen einen Steg aufweist.In the case of the drinking bottles according to claim 1 and the drinking bottle with a base according to claim 8, it is preferably provided that the bottle head and here in particular the flat surface above preferably have two recesses or indentations and between them one web has.

Der Steg kann so durch zwei Finger umfasst und eine Auf-oder Zudrehkraft eingebracht werden.The web can thus be gripped by two fingers and an opening or closing force can be applied.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung für beide Ausführungen der Trinkflasche und den Standfuß sieht vor, dass die Drehachse des verschraubbaren Flaschenverschlusses bezogen auf die Drehachse der Gewindepaarung des Flaschenkopfes mit dem Flaschenkörper beabstandet angeordnet ist und/oder einen Winkel bildet.A further advantageous embodiment for both versions of the drinking bottle and the base provides that the axis of rotation of the screwable bottle cap is arranged at a distance from the axis of rotation of the thread pairing of the bottle head with the bottle body and/or forms an angle.

Durch die beabstandete oder winklige Anordnung des Flaschenverschlusses zur Drehachse der Gewindepaarung Flaschenkopf-Flaschenkörper werden die Drehmomente dahingehend verändert, dass beim Aufdrehen der Gewindepaarung Flaschenverschluss-Flaschenkopf sich die Gewindepaarung Flaschenkopf-Flaschenkörper bei gleichdrehenden Gewinden nicht gleichzeitig aufdreht.Due to the spaced or angular arrangement of the bottle cap to the axis of rotation of the bottle head-bottle body thread pairing, the torques are changed in such a way that when the bottle cap-bottle head thread pairing is unscrewed, the bottle head-bottle body thread pairing does not unscrew at the same time if the threads are co-rotating.

Bei ungleichdrehenden Gewindepaarungen wird beim Zudrehen des Flaschenverschlusses das gleichzeitig Öffnen der Gewindepaarung Flaschenkopf-Flaschenkörper verhindert.In the case of unequally rotating thread pairings, the simultaneous opening of the thread pairing of the bottle head and bottle body is prevented when the bottle cap is closed.

Die äußere Form des Flaschenkörpers ist bei allen Ausführungen beliebig. Der Flaschenkörper und der Flaschenkopf bzw. Flaschenkörper und der bodenseitige Behälter weisen aber zumindest im Bereich ihrer Gewindepaarung eine zylindrische Form auf.The outer shape of the bottle body is optional for all versions. However, the bottle body and the bottle head or bottle body and the bottom container have a cylindrical shape at least in the area of their thread pairing.

Beispiele der erfindungsgemäßen Trinkflasche sind in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und soll nachfolgend erläutert werden.Examples of the drinking bottle according to the invention are shown in the drawings and will be explained below.

a top view of a bottle head and
4
a drinking bottle with a receptacle.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine geschlossene Trinkflasche aufweisend einen Flaschenkörper 1 mit einem unten angeordneten Flaschenboden 7, einem sich nach oben an den Flaschenkörper 1 anschließenden Flaschenkopf, wobei der Flaschenkopf 2 mit dem Flaschenkörper 1 mittels einer Gewindepaarung 4 verschraubt ist, und einen am Flaschenkopf 2 angeordneten mit einer Tülle des Flaschenkopfes 2 verschraubbaren Flaschenverschluss 3. 1 shows a closed drinking bottle having a bottle body 1 with a bottle base 7 arranged at the bottom, a bottle head adjoining the bottle body 1 at the top, with the bottle head 2 being screwed to the bottle body 1 by means of a pair of threads 4, and a bottle head 2 arranged with a spout of the bottle head 2 screwable bottle cap 3.

Der Flaschenverschluss 2 bzw. die Tülle auch allein überragen den oberen Abschnitt des Flaschenkopfes 2 nicht, der als eine ebene Fläche 6 ausgebildet ist.The bottle cap 2 or the spout alone does not protrude beyond the upper section of the bottle head 2 , which is designed as a flat surface 6 .

Dadurch verleiht die ebene Fläche 6 dem Flaschenkopf 2 um 180° gedreht Standfestigkeit beim Abstellen auf einer Unterlage. Er kann so als kleiner Trinkbecher genutzt werden.As a result, the flat surface 6 gives the bottle head 2 rotated through 180° stability when it is placed on a surface. It can be used as a small drinking cup.

Unabhängig von der Ausbildung des Flaschenkopfes 2 ist vorgesehen, dass der Flaschenboden 7 eine in den Flaschenkörper 1 weisende Negativform 11 der äußeren Form des Flaschenkopfes 2 aufweist, so dass der abgeschraubte Flaschenkopf 2 zumindest teilweise bodenseitig in den Flaschenkörper 1 einsetzbar ist.Irrespective of the design of the bottle head 2, it is provided that the bottle base 7 has a negative form 11 of the outer shape of the bottle head 2 pointing into the bottle body 1, so that the unscrewed bottle head 2 can be inserted at least partially into the bottle body 1 on the base side.

Der Rand des Flaschenkopfes 2 dient so als Standfuß für den Flaschenkörper 1, der jetzt unabhängig von seinem Bodenrand als abstellbarer Trinkbecher nutzbar ist.
Dies zeigt Fig. 2 . The edge of the bottle head 2 thus serves as a base for the bottle body 1, which can now be used as a drinking cup that can be set down independently of its bottom edge.
this shows 2 .

Zwischen dem Flaschenkörper 1 und dem in die Negativform 11 eingesetzten Flaschenkopf 2 sollte dabei eine lösbare Verbindung bestehen, vorzugsweise eine Rast- oder Klemmverbindung, so dass der Flaschenkopf 2 beim Trinken nicht aus der Negativform 11 herausfällt.There should be a detachable connection between the bottle body 1 and the bottle head 2 inserted into the negative mold 11, preferably a latching or clamping connection, so that the bottle head 2 does not fall out of the negative mold 11 when drinking.

Gezeigt wird auch, dass die Drehachse 12 des verschraubbaren Flaschenverschlusses 3 bezogen auf die Drehachse 10 der Gewindepaarung 4 des Flaschenkopfes 2 mit dem Flaschenkörper 1 beabstandet angeordnet ist und einen Winkel einschließt. Dabei ist die Gewindepaarung des Flaschenverschlusses 3 mit dem Flaschenkopf 2 gleichdrehend mit der Gewindepaarung 4 des Flaschenkopfes 2 mit den Flaschenkörper 1.It is also shown that the axis of rotation 12 of the screwable bottle cap 3 is arranged at a distance from the axis of rotation 10 of the thread pairing 4 of the bottle head 2 with the bottle body 1 and encloses an angle. The thread pairing of the bottle cap 3 with the bottle head 2 is co-rotating with the thread pairing 4 of the bottle head 2 with the bottle body 1.

Diese Maßnahmen verhindern ein Aufdrehen der Gewindepaarung 4 beim Aufdrehen des Flaschenverschlusses 3.These measures prevent the pair of threads 4 from being unscrewed when the bottle cap 3 is opened.

Zumindest im Bereich der Gewindepaarung 4 des Flaschenkörpers 1 mit dem Flaschenkopf 2 bzw. des Flaschenkörpers 1 mit dem Behälter 13 weisen diese bei beiden Trinkflaschenausführungen eine zylindrische Form auf.At least in the area of the pairing of threads 4 of the bottle body 1 with the bottle head 2 or of the bottle body 1 with the container 13, these have a cylindrical shape in both drinking bottle designs.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf den Flaschenkopf 2. Neben dem Flaschenverschluss 3 besitzt der Flaschenkopf 2 zwei Ausnehmungen 8 oder zwei Einbeulungen, zwischen denen sich ein Steg 9 befindet. Auf diese Weise können die Finger gut den Flaschenkopf 2 zum Auf- und Zudrehen erfassen. 3 shows a plan view of the bottle head 2. In addition to the bottle cap 3, the bottle head 2 has two recesses 8 or two indentations, between which a web 9 is located. In this way, the fingers can easily grasp the bottle head 2 for opening and closing.

Fig. 4 zeigt, dass die Trinkflasche bodenseitig ein auf den Flaschenkörper 1 aufschraubbares oder aufsteckbares Behältnis 13 aufweist, das zumindest so dimensioniert ist, dass es im aufgeschraubten Zustand den Flaschenkopf 2 aufnehmen kann, wenn dieser nicht anderweitig genutzt wird. 4 shows that the drinking bottle has a container 13 on the bottom that can be screwed or plugged onto the bottle body 1, which is at least dimensioned such that it can hold the bottle head 2 in the screwed-on state if it is not used for any other purpose.
