Abstract

Grouper-unifier of containers, being specially designed for bottles and similar containers, characterized by being constituted from a laminar with symmetrical holes and preferably plastic body in which a continuous strip of amplitude states and suitable width to form one carrying handle once coupled to the necks of two or more containers and appropriately cut and thus form a group of two or more containers.

Description

Unidor of bottles.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device that has been specially designed to group a certain number of packages, specifically bottles, constituting in parallel a sustaining element of them which, as a handle, makes its transportation extremely comfortable.

Background of the invention

Containers are known, capable of generally group two, four or six packages, materialized in a tubular cardboard body that, duly stamped, fixed in its sine to the aforementioned containers, while defining holes that allow to introduce fingers of the hand to support the set.

This solution presents a broad problem and varied. First of all the grouper is structurally complex and does not allow a mechanized placement on the containers, while the transport of the set is uncomfortable and little sure, since in a poor grip the weight of the containers can cause the cardboard to tear, with the consequent detachment of the block as a whole.

There are also individual groupers of injected plastic material, whose manufacture is very expensive and prevents its mechanized placement. Other grouping systems They use adhesive tapes to bond two or more containers, which once placed in the shape of a handle, additional placement of an angry, multiplying the process and increasing costs.

Description of the invention

The unifier proposed by the invention resolves in a simple and fully satisfactory way the problem previously exposed, allowing a mechanized placement in the same packaging line and its fixing will be fast, safe and effective, with the possibility that the packages are in turn grouped or packaged by other means, such as by a cover retractable, offering a wide handle, easily accessible and Convenient handling, significantly reducing costs.

To do this and more specifically the device in question it is materialized in a strip preferably of material continuous length plastic, with symmetrical openings constituting coupling rings that once located mechanically on the bottle cap, and exerting pressure on said strip, it will fit perfectly on the neck of the bottle, exceeding the head that usually define in the Bottles means of closure. The shape of the aforementioned openings and The type of flexible plastic material will allow us to maneuver easy coupling and that, however, will constitute a tooth of blocking to prevent the maneuver in the opposite direction ensuring a perfect fixation of the handle strap to set of the bottles. From this structure, it will be cut from this strip automatically according to the passage of the bottles, remaining grouped two by two, three by three ...

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, is accompanied herein descriptive, as an integral part of it, a set of drawings where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, represented the following:

Figure 1.- Shows a representation schematic in side elevation where the strip, still in continuous, it is placed on the bottle train waiting for it to be exercised pressure to engage properly in the necklaces of said bottles

Figure 2.- Shows according to a representation similar to figure -1 but once the coupling and cutting of the grouping strip, said strip being formalized in the handle of transport.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of these figures I could see how the grouper-handle that is recommended is constituted by means of a continuous laminar body, preferably of material plastic in which holes are defined so that once located on the bottle caps and exerting pressure, attach to the necklaces of said bottles, being material flexible, it will tend to prevent the maneuver in the opposite direction. Finally, the strip will be cut every two or three bottles, leaving one handle perfectly coupled to the set of bottles.

It is not considered necessary to extend this description so that any subject matter expert understands the scope of the invention and the advantages that derive from the same.

The materials, shape, size and layout of the elements will be subject to variation as long as it do not suppose an alteration in the essentiality of the invention.

The terms in which this report has been written they should always be taken in a broad and non-limiting sense.

Claims (2)

1. Grouping-unifier of packages, being specially designed for bottles and other similar containers, characterized by being constituted from a laminar body with symmetrical holes and preferably of plastic in which a continuous strip of adequate width and width is established to form a transport handle once attached to the neck of two or more containers and cut properly and thus form a grouping of two or more containers. 2. Container grouping, according to claim 1, characterized in that each hole is deformed in the coupling maneuver to the neck of the corresponding bottle not impeding the coupling, but which constitutes a blockage against a displacement in the opposite direction, the one of decoupling of the hole regarding the bottle neck.
