Definitions

  • the field of the invention is that of liquid containers.
  • the invention relates to a bottle of generally cylindrical shape, with optimized size.
  • the invention finds applications in particular for improving the handling (storage, transport) of bottles of any type of liquid, mainly in the food sector, such as water, fruit juice or an alcoholic beverage, such as a wine, beer or spirits, where the bottles have traditionally generally cylindrical shapes whose profile may vary depending on the producing region, particularly in the field of wine, with certain profiles also seeking to stand out through their originality.
  • Such techniques generally lead to bottles having a polygonal section, for example triangular, square or hexagonal, making it possible to condition a maximum of bottles in a minimum of space.
  • some bottles have a very reduced neck between their ring and their shoulder in order to be able to be inserted inside a sting of a similar bottle so that the rim of an upper bottle rests on the shoulders of a lower bottle.
  • prior art techniques are generally formed from plastic, which is a material rarely used in the wine and spirits field that favors glass bottles for preservation issues.
  • None of the current systems makes it possible to simultaneously meet all the required needs, namely to offer a bottle technique whose overall shape is preserved, as well as the planned height and capacity, and which makes it possible to increase storage capacities and transporting bottles with high shoulders and therefore reducing the associated costs.
  • the present invention aims to remedy all or part of the drawbacks of the prior art mentioned above.
  • the invention relates to a bottle according to claim 1.
  • Such a bottle is for example a bottle of wine or spirits, having a capacity of the order of 0.75 liter or 1 liter.
  • Such a bottle can also be intended to contain any other type of liquid, such as for example: water, fruit juice, an alcoholic drink, etc.
  • the height of the shoulders of the bottle is greater than half the height of the bottle.
  • the deformation operated on the circular section defined by the truncation ratio, makes it possible to obtain a bottle whose shape is optimal for handling operations, including storage and transport, since it offers a gain in interesting clutter.
  • size of the bottle is meant the size of the smallest rectangular parallelepiped containing the whole of the bottle.
  • width the smallest of the dimensions of the truncated section.
  • Equivalent bottle means a non-truncated bottle having the same height, the same capacity and overall the same generatrix.
  • the generatrix of the equivalent bottle is slightly smaller than the generatrix of the truncated bottle in order to maintain the capacity of the bottle.
  • the truncated face having two edges, gives additional advantages to a truncated bottle compared to an equivalent bottle, such as improved gripping of the truncated bottle or stability when the truncated bottle is placed horizontally.
  • the truncation is carried out over the entire body of the bottle, between the jable and the ring.
  • the profile of the truncation is a homothety of the generatrix of the non-truncated bottle, consequently making it possible to preserve the aesthetics of the bottle, and to avoid intersections between the edges formed between the truncated face and the curved face.
  • the truncation ratio is between 0.7 and 0.8.
  • the optimum reduction is for truncation ratio values between 0.76 and 0.78.
  • the large diameter excluding truncation is located in the immediate vicinity of the shoulders of the bottle.
  • the truncation ratio is equal to a constant value.
  • the bottle comprises a label stuck on the generally planar face.
  • the label is more protected from a possible drop flowing along the bottle.
  • the truncation is carried out at any point of the axis of revolution of the bottle.
  • the two edges of the continuous surface are distinct at all points and have a profile similar to the profile of the equivalent bottle.
  • the section of the neck is circular.
  • the bottle can be corked with a conventionally shaped cork.
  • the perimeter of the neck comprises at least one point of singularity.
  • a point of singularity means a point having two non-collinear tangents.
  • the section of the neck is a homothety of the section of the bottle at the level of the neck.
  • the shape of the neck being asymmetrical, with two points of singularities, the risk of formation of a drop flowing along the bottle, capable of staining a tablecloth or even a label of the bottle, is reduced. It should be pointed out that drops are generally prohibited when serving a bottle in many restaurants.
  • a neck being formed inside the neck, the section of the neck is a homothety of the truncated section of the bottle at the level of the finish.
  • the bottle is made of glass.
  • the bottle contains an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage.
  • An alcoholic drink is for example a wine, a spirit, a beer or any other type of drink containing alcohol.
  • the capacity is between 0.5 and 3 liters.
  • the invention also relates to a set of molds configured for the manufacture of a bottle according to any one of the preceding embodiments, comprising two complementary molds each presenting a part of the shape of said bottle in negative.
  • the invention relates to a stopper for a bottle, comprising a generally cylindrical body and a section having a shape adapted to the section of the neck.
  • the section of the stopper is generally circular, with a truncated part, the ratio between the smallest distance of the section of the stopper and its diameter excluding truncation, is similar to the truncation ratio of the neck section.
  • the figures 1 to 3 respectively comprise a perspective view, front and side views and a top view, of a bottle 100 according to the invention.
  • the bottle 100 which is intended to contain a liquid such as an alcoholic beverage such as wine or spirits, or a non-alcoholic beverage such as water or fruit juice, has a generally cylindrical shape, corresponding to the revolution of a generator 320 around an axis 110 of revolution.
  • the bottle 100 thus comprises a hollow body 120 comprising a barrel 121, of a maximum diameter d surmounted by a neck 130, of a diameter d C , less than d, inside which a neck 140 is formed. Shoulders 150 are therefore formed between the barrel 121 and the neck 130. At the other open end of the neck 130, a ring 135 configured for corking and sealing the bottle is formed.
  • the ring 135 is configured to receive a stopper, generally made of cork, or even of synthetic material, being inserted into the neck 140 in order to ensure the tightness of the bottle 100 during handling phases, such as storage or transportation.
  • a stopper generally made of cork, or even of synthetic material
  • the end of the barrel 121, opposite the shoulders 150, is closed by a rim 160 inside which a stitch 170 is traditionally formed for reasons of stability of the bottle 100.
  • the shoulders 150 are here at a height h e relative to the jable 160 greater than half the height h of the bottle 100 in its upright position, the jable 160 being placed on a support not shown on the figure 1 .
  • the distance D ej between the shoulders 150 and the rim 160 which is equal to the height h e of the shoulders, is greater than the distance D eb between the shoulders 150 and the ring 135.
  • the height h e of the shoulders is measured substantially in the middle of the shoulders between the neck 130 and the barrel 121. Alternatively, it can be measured at the widest section of the shoulders 150.
  • the bottle 100 according to the invention is truncated on one side, forming a so-called truncated face 190 .
  • the bottle retains a so-called domed face 191 .
  • the bottle 100 thus truncated retains its overall shape as can be seen in view a) of the figure 2 , which has the curved face 191 .
  • the bottle 100 however comprises a width l smaller than its diameter d , as can be seen in view b) of the picture 2 and on the picture 3 .
  • the diameter d of the truncated bottle 100 is greater in order to compensate for the loss of volume due to the truncation.
  • R E of the size E of the truncated bottle compared to the size E A of the traditional bottle is equal to:
  • the figure 4 is a plot of clutter gain G as a function of truncation ratio ⁇ , showing the systematic gain in clutter reduction in the truncation ratio range between 0.5 and 1.
  • a gain of at least 5% is obtained when the truncation ratio is between 0.6 and 0.9, more precisely between 0.63 and 0.90.
  • a gain of at least 6% is obtained when the truncation ratio is between 0.7 and 0.8, more precisely between 0.67 and 0.86.
  • the optimum gain is of the order of 7%, more precisely equal to 6.8%. This optimum is obtained for a truncation ratio value of the order of 0.77 +/- 0.02.
  • the optimum truncation ratio corresponds to the orthogonal section 115 of the bottle 100 having the largest diameter, because it is at this level that the gain in size is the most pronounced.
  • the truncation ratio is constant for each orthogonal section of the bottle 100, which makes it possible to keep the generatrix 320 of the bottle 100 as illustrated by view b) of the picture 2 , in particular when the truncation is carried out at any point on the axis of revolution of the bottle, i.e. from the jable 160 to the ring 135.
  • the profile 310 on the truncation side thus corresponds to a homothety of the generatrix 320, in which the ratio of dilation is equal to the inverse of the truncation ratio.
  • the truncation ratio is variable between the sections along the axis of revolution.
  • the truncation ratio for a given orthogonal section 116 is however configured with respect to the truncation ratio for the orthogonal section 115 having the largest diameter, in such a way that the space requirement at the level of the given section is less or less. equal to the footprint defined at the level of the orthogonal section having the largest diameter.
  • the truncation is carried out only in a majority zone of the bottle between two points of the axis of revolution, encompassing the sections having the largest diameters so that the size of the bottle be reduced.
  • the section of the neck 140 is a homothety of the section of the ring 135.
  • the presence of two points 410 of singularity in the asymmetric perimeter of the neck 140 advantageously makes it possible to reduce the formation of drops along the bottle 100, during a service phase where the bottle 100 is tilted to dispense the liquid contained.
  • one of the two points 410 then corresponds substantially to the lowest point of the perimeter of the neck 140 during the service phase, which makes it possible to greatly reduce the formation of a drop because the surface tension is locally greater.
  • a point of singularity on a neck to reduce the formation of a drop can also be applied to a bottle of any shape, possibly with a visual indicator at the level of the ring or the neck allowing a person to properly orient the bottle during service.
  • the corking of the bottle 100 can be carried out with stoppers, for example of cork, of a shape adapted to the asymmetry of the neck 140.
  • a stopper 600 illustrated in figure 6 , has a generally cylindrical body 610, with a truncated face 620 .
  • the ratio between the smallest distance of the section of the stopper 600 and its diameter without truncation, is similar to the ratio of truncation of the section of the neck 140, so that the seal is ensured when the stopper 600 is inserted into the neck. 140.
  • the body 610 of the stopper 600 can be capped by a head (not shown) intended to come into abutment against the ring 135 of the bottle 100 when the stopper 600 is inserted into the neck 140.
  • the neck 140 of the bottle 100 has a cylindrical shape.
  • the section of the neck 140 is circular, which is adapted to the traditional shape of corks.
  • the neck 130 retaining its truncation, the thickness of the neck 130 is therefore different according to the longitudinal sections passing through the axis 110 of revolution.
  • the truncated face 190 provides stability to the bottle 100 when it is placed horizontally, for example on a table or a shelf, because the contact zone between the bottle 100 and the laying surface contains at least two straight line segments, corresponding to parts of the edges 195, sufficiently distant from each other, on either side of the projection of the center of mass of the bottle 100, so that the stability of the bottle once placed is ensured.
  • the truncated face 190 gives a better grip of the bottle 100, because the angle formed between the truncated face 190 and the curved face 191 is much less than 180°
  • a label 199 allowing the bottle 100 to be identified can also advantageously be stuck to the surface 190.
  • the label 199 is protected from a possible risk of soiling by a drop flowing along the bottle 100.
  • a stop 195 of the generally flat face 190 against the palm of a server's hand will naturally be taken in hand, a stop 195 of the generally flat face 190 against the palm of a server's hand.
  • the drop thus tends rather to flow along the curved face 191 of the bottle 100, whatever the shape of the neck 140, the generally flat face 190 being substantially vertical. at the time of service.
  • the bottle 100 is in this non-limiting example of the invention formed of glass which is the material commonly and preferentially used to store wine or a spirit.
  • the bottle 100 can be made of any other material known to those skilled in the art, such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate).
  • the bottle 100 is here configured to have a capacity of between 0.5 and 3 liters, more preferably equal to 0.75 liter or 1 liter.
  • the glass bottle 100 is generally produced by blowing molten glass inside a set of complementary molds 710 and 720 reproducing the shape of the final bottle in negative, as illustrated in figure 7 .
