Abstract

Foldable bottle, which may be constituted in a plastic material or similar and capable of being made with greater or lesser capacity, is characterized in that the side wall constituting the bottle presents a succession of folds or bellows-like modules that in the position of use containing a liquid stay stretched, while the subsequent consumption of said content involves a folding of the bottle itself, eliminating the air chamber inside it.

Description

Folding bottle

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a bottle folding that presents the peculiarity that its wall is formed by a succession of bellows modules that allow in your total stretch get a capacity according to the size of the bottle itself, while as the bottle is emptied It can be folded and finally achieve a total folding.

The object of the invention is to achieve that a bottle can be used as is conventional, that is, for contain a volume of liquid, but with the special feature that as the content is consumed, it can go away folding down to a minimum and thereby eliminating the chamber of air that forms inside the bottle as The content is consumed.

Background of the invention

As is known, liquid bottles have a constant capacity, although there are plastic bottles or similar materials that due to their elasticity can be folded into part, although this type of bottles, used for oils, carbonated drinks, etc., can be reduced in part; that is to say, consumed the total content, which favors recycling at can be discarded with a smaller volume than the bottle in its armed or deployed position.

The type of bottles just mentioned no can be folded as the content is consumed, so that it is impossible to reduce it or make the air chamber disappear at as the liquid is consumed.

Description of the invention

The foldable bottle that has been recommended has been designed to solve the problem described above, based on the fact that it is made of an appropriate material, such as it can be plastic or similar, and its side wall formed from sections in the form of bellows, allowing to occupy a normal position of use, when the bottle is full of liquid content, leave folding, as its content is consumed, thereby avoiding the formation of the classic air chamber that originate in the conventional bottles, as it is consumed, which prevents oxidation of the content when coming into contact with the air, as it happens conventionally, especially in the case of carbonated drinks, such as juices, wines, etc.

In addition, the folding and reducing the volume of the bottle, when it comes to carbonated drinks, the loss of gas within the liquid is drastically limited.

Another novelty feature presented by the bottle of the invention is that the configuration modules in bellows shape corresponding to the side wall of the bottle, they have a slightly convex upper wall section and a section slightly concave bottom wall, these configurations that establish a tongue and groove effect when the bottle, preventing the normal tendency to deploy the same, both because of the elastic nature of the material with which it is obtained as a result of the gas pressure itself detached from the drink.

Finally, say that the configuration section slightly concave of each module, of the bellows configuration of the bottle, it should be slightly shorter than the wall section convex, so that in the folding a kind of point is generated intermediate dead that once exceeded tends to avoid stretching or unfolding the bottle.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a representation according to a side elevation view of the bottle of the invention in deployed position.

Figure 2.- Shows a side elevation view of the same bottle represented in the previous figure, but in this case in a fully folded position.

Figure 3.- Shows a detail of the sections contiguous convex and concave that form each section or module of the bellows configuration corresponding to the represented bottle in the previous figures.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be seen as the bottle of the invention, which can be constituted in plastic or similar material, it has a configuration tubular with its corresponding mouth (1) and bottom (2), as is conventional, with the special feature that the wall (3) corresponding to the lateral surface of the bottle is determined by a succession of modules, defining a profile noticeably wavy, where each module includes a wall upper (4) slightly curved-convex and a wall lower (5) slightly concave, so that in the folding of the bottle those walls or sections (4) and (5) overlap each other and establish a tongue and groove coupling that prevents normal tendency to deploy the bottle itself, whose tendency to deployed is due to the material in which it is obtained, as well as to the pressure of the gases released from the beverage contained in the own bottle

Under the aforementioned characteristics, the bottle can occupy an unfolded position as represented in Figure 1 and be filled with a liquid, such as juice, wine, but with the special feature that as it goes consuming the content the bottle is folded, by successive overlapping of its walls (4) and (5), eliminating the air chamber that is produced with said consumption, limiting consequently the loss of gas from the sine of the liquid.

That is, the bottle, in addition to complying with the see function almost completely reduced to the amount of air that there is at any time inside it, avoiding with that the content comes into contact with the air and in consequently there is no oxidation of said content or drink, It fulfills the function of being very practical in its elimination, it is say, when discarded once all the content is consumed, since when fully folded, for not having content, the occupation volumetric of the same will be minimal, being favored the disposal with the consequent advantages in recycling or transport of such products once discarded.

As previously stated, the section or bottom and concave wall (5) of each bellows-shaped module the bottle is shorter than the upper section or wall and convex (6), in order that in the folding a kind of midpoint that prevents the stretching of the bottle a once exceeded the same.

Claims (3)

1. Folding bottle, which may be constituted in a plastic or similar material and capable of being made with greater or lesser capacity, is characterized in that the constitutive side wall of the bottle has a succession of folds or modules as bellows that in the position of use containing a liquid remains stretched, while the successive consumption of said content entails a folding of the bottle itself, eliminating the air chamber inside it. 2. Folding bottle according to claim 1, characterized in that each of the modules that determine the bellows profile of the lateral surface of the bottle has a slightly convex upper wall section and a slightly concave lower wall section, determining in the folded a tongue and groove effect that prevents the normal tendency to unfold the bottle itself. 3. Folding bottle according to claim 2, characterized in that the slightly concave lower wall section of each of the bellows configuration modules of the lateral surface of the bottle has a slightly shorter length than the slightly curved upper wall section convex, determining in the folding the generation of an intermediate dead point that tends to avoid stretching the bottle once it has passed.
