Description

Contenedor unitario para botellas.Unit container for bottles.

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un contenedor que ha sido especialmente concebido para albergar en su seno una botella y para ser utilizado durante la fase de consumo del contenido de la misma, cuando dicho consumo no se produce de una sola vez, como sucede en botellas de refrescos y similares con una capacidad comprendida entre uno y dos litros.The present invention relates to a container which has been specially designed to house a bottle and to be used during the consumption phase of the content thereof, when said consumption does not occur from a only once, as in soda and similar bottles with a capacity between one and two liters.

El objeto de la invención es mantener la botella estable en situación invertida para minimizar las pérdidas de gas en la bebida, una vez que la botella ha sido abierta.The object of the invention is to keep the bottle stable in inverted situation to minimize gas losses in the drink, once the bottle has been opened.

Background of the invention

Existen en el mercado infinidad de bebidas gaseosas que, por razones económicas, se comercializan en botellas de capacidad muy superior a una dosis de consumo, pudiendo citarse como mas habituales las de dos litros de capacidad.There are plenty of drinks on the market soft drinks that, for economic reasons, are sold in bottles of capacity far superior to a dose of consumption, being able to mention as more usual those of two liters of capacity.

La bebida contenida en las mismas mantiene sus características durante un tiempo considerablemente largo si la botella no está abierta, pero una vez que se abre la misma, para iniciar su consumo, pierde el gas en un periodo de tiempo relativamente corto, de manera que la propia bebida pierde sus prestaciones como tal bebida gaseosa.The drink contained therein maintains its characteristics for a considerably long time if the bottle is not open, but once it is opened, to start consumption, lose gas in a period of time relatively short, so that the drink itself loses its benefits as such soft drink.

Description of the invention

Observando los efectos que la posición de la botella tiene con respecto a la pérdida de gas, se ha llegado a la evidencia de que cuando la botella, una vez abierta, adopta una posición invertida, es decir con su embocadura orientada hacia abajo, la pérdida de gas se ralentiza considerablemente, de manera que el tiempo en el que dicha bebida mantiene sus prestaciones se alarga considerablemente.Observing the effects that the position of the bottle has regarding the loss of gas, it has reached the evidence that when the bottle, once opened, adopts a inverted position, that is to say with its mouth facing below, the loss of gas slows down considerably, so that the time in which said beverage maintains its benefits is lengthens considerably.

Pues bien, el contenedor que la invención propone ha sido específicamente concebido y diseñado para sustentar de manera estable una botella del tipo anteriormente citado en posición invertida, al objeto de conseguir los efectos beneficiosos también citados.Well, the container that the invention proposes has been specifically conceived and designed to support stably a bottle of the type mentioned above in inverted position, in order to achieve the beneficial effects also cited.

Es también objeto de la invención que dicho soporte o contenedor sea válido para botellas de diferentes tamaños, como por ejemplo para botellas de uno y dos litros.It is also the object of the invention that said support or container is valid for bottles of different sizes, such as for one and two liter bottles.

Para ello y de forma mas concreta dicho contenedor se materializa en un cuerpo hueco y abierto superiormente, con una base suficientemente amplia como para dar estabilidad a la botella que ha de situarse en el seno del mismo, y con la especial particularidad de que a nivel de su embocadura incorpora aletas orientadas hacia abajo y hacia adentro, es decir sensiblemente convergentes, que deben ser deformadas por la botella en su introducción en el seno del contenedor. Específicamente se ha previsto que dichas aletas sean de un material elásticamente deformable, preferentemente plástico semirrígido, al objeto de conseguir un efecto "pinzante" sobre la botella, que se mantenga tanto con botellas de un determinado diámetro, como con botellas de un diámetro sensiblemente mayor o inferior, lógicamente dentro de ciertos
límites.For this, and more specifically, said container is materialized in a hollow and open body superiorly, with a sufficiently wide base to give stability to the bottle to be placed within it, and with the special feature that at the level of its mouth incorporates fins oriented downwards and inwards, that is to say substantially convergent, that must be deformed by the bottle in its introduction into the container. Specifically, it is provided that said fins are of an elastically deformable material, preferably semi-rigid plastic, in order to achieve a "pinching" effect on the bottle, which is maintained both with bottles of a certain diameter, and with bottles of a substantially larger diameter or less, logically within certain
limits.

El citado cuerpo hueco será preferentemente de configuración tronco piramidal, rectangular, pero podrá adoptar cualquier otra configuración que se estime conveniente, manteniendo en todo caso la existencia en su embocadura de las citadas aletas elásticamente deformables, pudiendo adoptar, por ejemplo, una configuración tronco-cónica.The said hollow body will preferably be of pyramidal trunk configuration, rectangular, but may adopt any other configuration deemed convenient, maintaining in any case the existence in its mouth of the mentioned fins elastically deformable, being able to adopt, for example, a trunk-conical configuration.

La citada configuración tronco-cónica o tronco-piramidal tiene como finalidad que el citado cuerpo sea sensiblemente divergente en su base inferior o de apoyo, para potenciar su estabilidad.The aforementioned configuration conical trunk or pyramidal trunk Its purpose is that the said body is substantially divergent at its bottom or support base, to enhance its stability.

Finalmente se ha previsto que las dimensiones del repetidamente citado cuerpo sean tales que el mismo pueda ser introducido en la puerta de un frigorífico de uso domestico, donde su utilización va a resultar predominante, pero tampoco estas dimensiones son limitativas puesto que el contenedor puede situarse en frigoríficos de otra dimensión, que no tienen esta limitación a nivel de sus puertas, o incluso fuera de cualquier aparato refrigerador.Finally it is planned that the dimensions of the repeatedly cited body are such that it can be introduced in the door of a refrigerator for domestic use, where its use will be predominant, but neither are you dimensions are limiting since the container can be placed in refrigerators of another dimension, which do not have this limitation to level of your doors, or even outside any device fridge.

Por evidentes motivos económicos, la altura del contenedor será mínima, la básicamente imprescindible para que la botella quede estabilizada en su seno.For obvious economic reasons, the height of the container will be minimal, the basically essential for the bottle is stabilized in its breast.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas puede observarse como el contenedor que la invención propone está constituido mediante un cuerpo (1) de configuración tronco-piramidal, rectangular, hueco, abierto por su base superior (2) y con sus paredes laterales convergentes hacia dicha embocadura (2), a través de la cual ha de penetrar en su interior la botella (3), en la posición invertida mostrada en la figura 2.In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the container that the invention proposes is constituted by a configuration body (1) pyramidal trunk, rectangular, hollow, open by its upper base (2) and with its converging side walls towards said mouth (2), through which it has to penetrate its inside the bottle (3), in the inverted position shown in the figure 2.

Esta configuración convergente en sentido superior, o lo que es lo mismo divergente en sentido inferior, tiene como finalidad establecer una base de apoyo (4) suficientemente amplia como para dotar de estabilidad al propio contenedor en su conjunto, con la botella (3) implantada en el mismo.This convergent configuration in the sense superior, or what is the same divergent in the inferior sense, Its purpose is to establish a support base (4) wide enough to provide stability to one's own container as a whole, with the bottle (3) implanted in the same.

Como complemento de la estructura descrita y como una de las características esenciales de la invención, la embocadura estrangulada (2) del cuerpo (1) viene determinada, mas que por las paredes laterales del cuerpo tronco piramidal, por la existencia en dicha embocadura de aletas (5) prolongación acodada de cada uno de los bordes de dicha embocadura (2), aletas que, como se observa también en la citada figura 2, quedan acusadamente inclinadas hacia abajo y hacia adentro, constituyendo a través de sus bordes libres (6) los medios de apoyo lateral para el cuerpo de la botella (3), sufriendo dichas aletas (5) una deformación elástica en el acoplamiento de la botella (3) y siendo dicha deformación tanto mayor cuanto mayor es el diámetro de dicha botella.As a complement to the structure described and as one of the essential characteristics of the invention, the strangulated mouthpiece (2) of the body (1) is determined, but that by the side walls of the pyramidal trunk body, by the existence in said mouth opening (5) elongated extension of each of the edges of said mouth (2), fins that, as It is also observed in the aforementioned figure 2, they remain sharply tilted down and inward, constituting through its free edges (6) the lateral support means for the body of the bottle (3), said fins (5) suffering an elastic deformation in the coupling of the bottle (3) and said deformation being the larger the larger the diameter of said bottle.

El cuerpo (1) así estructurado puede ser de cualquier material que se estime conveniente, pero preferentemente y por razones tanto funcionales como económicas, será de un plástico semirrígido, suficientemente elástico como para que las aletas (5) cumplan la función para la que han sido previstas.The body (1) thus structured can be of any material deemed convenient, but preferably and for both functional and economic reasons, it will be of a semi-rigid plastic, elastic enough for the fins (5) fulfill the function for which they have been provided.

Se consigue de esta manera que botellas (3) de diferentes tamaños, en concreto de diferentes diámetros, puedan mantenerse perfectamente estables en el seno de un mismo contenedor, en la posición invertida que se desea, es decir apoyando sobre la base (4) del contenedor a través de su gollete (7).It is achieved in this way that bottles (3) of different sizes, specifically of different diameters, can keep perfectly stable within oneself container, in the inverted position that is desired, that is resting on the base (4) of the container through its neck (7).
