Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of containers for food liquids, and in particular relates to an object which comprises a shell and a thin-walled (typically plastic) bottle which contains a food liquid such as non-carbonated mineral water.
  • the invention therefore relates to an object which can be easily handled by a consumer.
  • the document DE202005003527U1 discloses a device for at least partially stiffening handling areas of thin-walled containers, comprising a split body of rigid material, having a fixing section, and slidable over the thin-walled container.
  • Document USD357387S discloses a bottle handle.
  • Document US7909202B1 discloses a bottle holder.
  • An aim of the present invention is to address the drawbacks of the prior art documents mentioned above and in particular, first of all, to propose an object to be held by a user, comprising an external structure and a bottle, easy and practical to manufacture, to use, in particular for manipulations reserved for the user (coupling, closing/opening of the bottle, uncoupling, etc.).
  • the object according to the above implementation is easy to handle, thanks to the elastic fitting of the neck of the bottle on the shell.
  • Such an elastic fitting is also called clipping (or snap fit in English).
  • the shell has an upper neck open in a U or C shape, that is to say that it forms an open clamp easy to open to insert or remove the neck of the bottle, which guarantees a moderate effort to be applied for the user.
  • the rigid shell reliably and robustly holds the bottle, which provides an object that is easy to handle and configure (coupling and uncoupling).
  • the shell comprises a side wall and a shoulder arranged between the neck and the side wall, and the shoulder comprises a passage opening arranged to provide a passage for the neck of the bottle, and the passage opening opens into the opening of the U or C of the upper neck of the shell.
  • the passage opening allows the neck of the bottle to be inserted and presented at the opening of the upper neck of the shell, which provides easy installation.
  • the passage opening has a passage dimension greater than a passage dimension of the U or C of the upper neck of the shell.
  • the shell comprises an insertion opening arranged in the side wall and arranged to allow a user to insert the bottle into the shell.
  • the insertion opening is typically located opposite the passage opening, to simply pass the bottle through and position its neck in the passage opening, the remainder of the bottle passing easily into the insertion opening.
  • the neck of the bottle includes a collar.
  • the protrusion is arranged under the collar, to engage in the opening of the U or C of the upper neck of the shell.
  • Such an outgrowth provides a useful rotation stop for opening and closing the bottle, particularly if the bottle is equipped with a screw cap.
  • other types of closure are possible, such as lids, or hinged caps with elastic interlocking.
  • Such an outgrowth also provides angular indexing, which makes it possible, for example, to ensure that an inscription on the bottle will fall opposite an opening in the shell.
  • the bottle comprises closure means, such as a screw-on or push-on cap, a lid or a valve.
  • the closure means may also comprise means of proof of inviolability such as a tamper-evident ring connected to the cap by bridges to be broken during a first use. It may also be a lid sealed on the neck, to be permanently removed during the first use.
  • the closure means may, where appropriate, comprise reversible means for closing the bottle after a first use. This is the case, for example, with screw-on and unscrewable caps. It is mentioned that the filled bottle is preferably closed using a screw-on or push-on cap and provided with a tamper-evident ring whose bridges are not broken.
  • the cap is arranged so as to be able to remain attached to the neck of the bottle after opening.
  • the cap may for example comprise a connection, in the form of at least one strip of material and/or a hinge, between a tamper-evident strip and the body of the cap or a portion of the body of the cap.
  • the bottle comprises a drinking liquid filling at least 80% of an internal volume of the bottle, preferably water, preferably non-carbonated.
  • the bottle has a concave bottom, for example hemispherical
  • the shell has a bottom defining at least one flat support for placing the object in a vertical position.
  • the flat or flat bottom provides a stable vertical support, although the bottle alone, with a thin wall, therefore flexible by definition, and whose bottom is hemispherical in shape, cannot be placed and held vertically on a work surface.
  • the shell has an external diameter
  • the bottom of the shell comprises at least one flat crown (i.e. contained in a plane), or supports distributed along a flat crown (i.e. contained in a plane), the flat crown having a diameter greater than or equal to 50% of the external diameter.
  • a crown can also be called a flat ring, i.e. contained in a plane, which provides stable support.
  • the shell comprises at least one grip handle, forming for example a handle.
  • Two handles can be provided to facilitate handling.
  • the neck of the bottle comprises a peripheral protuberance such as a collar on or under which the upper neck of the shell fits elastically.
  • the neck of the bottle and/or the peripheral protuberance, such as the collar, of the bottle has a thickness greater than 150 ⁇ m, preferably greater than 200 ⁇ m, and more preferably greater than 250 ⁇ m.
  • the bottle and/or the shell may have at least one cylindrical part.
  • cylindrical wall or part is meant a portion of shell or bottle which has a lateral surface whose generatrices are parallel straight lines, and which follow a base curve (defined by the intersection of the lateral surface with a plane perpendicular to an axial direction of the bottle) which is a closed curve.
  • This closed base curve may be circular in shape (a circle), oval in shape (an ellipse or any oval shape), square or rectangular in shape, where appropriate with rounded corners.
  • Such a section of the cylindrical part can improve grip, limit flexibility and/or limit the risk of leakage when opening the bottle.
  • the bottle is formed from polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • the upper neck of the shell has an upper rim, and the upper rim is formed over more than 180° relative to an axial direction of the object. In other words, more than half of the perimeter of the neck of the bottle is received and held by the open upper neck of the shell, which provides effective support.
  • the upper edge is included in a plane.
  • the shell is arranged to deform less than the bottle.
  • the shell is rigid, and not deformable when handled by the user. Consequently, such a rigid shell makes it possible to handle a thin, flexible and deformable bottle, which could not be handled alone without a proven risk of overflow or falling from the user's hands.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 represent a shell 10 seen from different directions.
  • the shell 10 comprises an upper neck 11, a side wall 15, a bottom 14 and a shoulder 16 arranged between the upper neck 11 and the side wall 15.
  • the side wall 15 is cylindrical or substantially cylindrical (i.e. its outer surface comprises parallel straight generatrices which follow a base curve, here a circle).
  • the bottom 14 has a lower flat, which makes it possible to place the hull 10 in a vertical position, as will be discussed in figure 7 .
  • the shell 10 comprises a passage opening 12 which is mainly visible.
  • figures 1 And 3 arranged in the shoulder 16, and an introduction opening 13, mainly visible figure 2 .
  • the upper collar 11 is an open C-shaped (or U-shaped) collar, as shown in the figures 1 And 3 .
  • the upper neck 11 has a passage dimension D2 along its largest internal diameter, and a passage dimension D'2 at its opening.
  • the opening of the upper neck 11 (of dimension D'2) gives or opens into the passage opening 12, and it can be noted that the passage dimension D1 of the passage opening 12 is greater than the passage dimensions D2 and D'2 of the upper neck 11. The details will be explained in figure 6 below.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 represent a bottle 20 which comprises a neck 21 (or spout), a side wall 24 and a bottom 25.
  • the neck 21 is threaded to receive a stopper 26 (visible figure 6 ), and a collar 22 is provided under the thread, and a protrusion 27 is arranged under the collar 22.
  • the bottle 20 also contains a food liquid (non-carbonated mineral water for example).
  • figure 5 represents an external dimension D3 of the collar 22, and this external dimension D3 is less than the passage dimension D1 of the passage opening 12 of the shell 10, but greater than the passage dimension D2 or D'2 of the upper neck 11 of the shell 10.
  • the shell 10 and the bottle 20 can couple and be held together.
  • the upper neck 11 of the shell 10 is provided to fit elastically with the neck 21 of the bottle 20.
  • the upper neck 11 of the shell 10 has dimensions adapted to fit elastically on the bottle 20, under the collar 22.
  • the upper neck 11 of the shell 10 is formed over more than 180° (for example 270°, at ⁇ 45°) so as to be able to move away, receive and retain the neck 21 of the bottle 20, in particular by retaining the collar 22.
  • the user simply has to insert the bottle 20 through the insertion opening 13 of the shell 10, to insert the neck 21 topped with the stopper 26 of the bottle 20 into the passage opening 12 of the shell 10 (because the external dimension D3 of the collar 22 (and of the stopper 26) is less than the passage dimension D1 of the passage opening 12) and then to tilt the bottle 20 to finish inserting the base 25 into the shell 10, and above all to elastically fit the neck 21 of the bottle 20 into the upper neck 11 of the shell 10 (because the passage dimension D'2 and D2 of the upper neck 11 is less than the dimension of the neck 21 and the external dimension D3 of the collar 22).
  • the upper neck 11 of the shell has a cylindrical rim of a few millimeters
  • the bottle 20 comprises the collar 20, and a cylindrical neck portion arranged between the collar 22 and the shoulder of the bottle 20, and the cylindrical rim of the upper neck 11 tightens the cylindrical neck portion of the bottle 20, while coming into axial abutment with the collar 22, which provides an assembly of the shell 10 and the bottle 20.
  • the shell 10 and the bottle 20 form an object 30 that is easy for a user to handle.
  • the bottom 14 of the shell 10 is flat, so that the object 30 holds a stable vertical position when placed on a work surface.
  • a return 16 is provided on the lower part of the shell 10 to secure the coupling and the holding of the bottle 20 - shell 10 assembly.
  • the cap 26 is screwed onto the bottle 20.
  • a protrusion 27 is provided on the bottle 20 to be housed in the opening of the upper neck 11 of the shell 10.
  • a torque applied to the bottle 20 is transmitted to the shell 10 via the protrusion 27.
  • Other implementations for such indexing can be envisaged, such as for example a neck 21 of the bottle 20 with a non-circular section, or notches at the upper neck 11 which engage in counterforms of the collar 22.
  • the hull 10A comprises in particular two side edges 17 and 18 connecting the bottom to the shoulder, as can be seen Figures 8 and 9 .
  • first side edge 17 is curved or outwardly curved
  • second side edge 18 is rather straight or rectilinear.
  • the first lateral edge 17 is distant from the bottle 20, so that a gripping space between the first lateral edge 17 and the bottle 20 is offered to the user, and forms a handle P.
  • the second lateral edge 18 fits the bottle 20 and provides support which prevents it from becoming detached.
  • the user can easily grasp the object thus formed, via the first lateral edge 17.
  • Such an implementation is economical and yet offers reliable coupling between the shell 10A and the bottle 20.
  • the bottle 20 is formed from a thin-walled thermoplastic material.
  • the material is preferably a polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), polyethylene furanoate (PEF) or polytrimethylene furanoate (PTF). It is preferably shaped by an injection blow molding process, for example an injection stretch blow molding process. In these processes a solid preform is made by injecting the material into a mold and then cooling, the preform is then heated to soften it, possibly stretched longitudinally using a rod, then stretched axially and longitudinally by blowing into a mold in the shape of the bottle.
  • polyester materials and processes are known to those skilled in the art. Their combination makes it possible to obtain thin, lightweight walls with good mechanical strength and good sealing or other barrier properties. These properties are due to the orientation of the macromolecular chains inducing at least partial crystallization.
  • these polyesters have the advantage of being easily recyclable.
  • the recovery, sorting, and regeneration sectors are organized. Regeneration can be mechanical recycling involving melting and shaping, for example into granules before new plastics processing operations such as injection blow molding or chemical recycling involving depolymerization, recovery of monomers or precursors, then new polymerization.
  • the implementation and use of the thin-walled bottles of the invention therefore presents a very advantageous environmental balance, in addition to good practicality, in particular compared to the implementation of conventional, thicker, non-activatable PET bottles.
  • the thin wall is such that the body of the bottle has a thickness in a range from 30 ⁇ m to 150 ⁇ m, for example in a range from 30 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m or from 50 ⁇ m to 70 ⁇ m or from 70 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m, or from 100 ⁇ m to 125 ⁇ m or from 125 ⁇ m to 150 ⁇ m, preferably in a range from 100 ⁇ m to 125 ⁇ m.
  • the thickness referred to is the thickness at at least one point of the body, preferably the average thickness over a portion representing at least 50% in length or surface area of the body, preferably at least 80%, preferably the average thickness over the entire body.
  • the bottom of the bottle may have a thickness slightly greater than that of the body, for example a thickness of up to 50% more than that of the body, for example up to 20% more.
  • the bottom may also have a cup, typically corresponding to the bottom of the preform and its injection point.
  • the thickness can be adjusted by adapting, for a target bottle volume, the characteristics of the preform, in particular its shape and the thickness of its walls, as well as the stretching characteristics. It is mentioned that the thickness of the preform walls, the geometry of the preform such as its length, its diameter and its bottom shape, determine with the neck which can form a bottle neck, the weight.
  • the bottle, unfilled, unclosed, and/or the preform generally have an identical weight. Subsequently, the weights given refer indifferently to the weights of the bottle or the weight of the preform. For a 75 cl bottle, it is advantageous to use preforms of 8 to 13 g.
  • the overall stretching rate can for example be between 12.0 and 27.0, preferably between 15.0 and 20.0.
  • the axial stretch ratio (typically the ratio between the height of the bottle and the length of the stretchable part of the preform, typically the under-neck distance) can for example be between 3.0 and 4.5.
  • the radial stretch ratio (typically the ratio between the diameter of the bottle and the diameter of the stretchable part of the preform) can for example be between 4.0 and 6.0. It is mentioned that the overall stretch ratio is generally equal to the product of the axial stretch ratio and the radial stretch ratio.
