Description

Agrupador-sustentador para dos botellas.Grouper-Sustainer for two bottles

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un agrupador o soporte para botellas, concretamente para dos botellas, del tipo de los que consisten en un cuerpo laminar, de cartón o similar, debidamente troquelado, que se fija a las botellas a través del escalonamiento definido entre el tapón y el cuello de las mismas o a través de cualquier otro tipo de resalte que pueda existir en el cuello de las botellas.The present invention relates to a grouper or bottle holder, specifically for two bottles, of the type of those consisting of a laminar, cardboard or similar body, properly stamped, which is fixed to the bottles through the defined stepping between the cap and the neck thereof or through any other type of protrusion that may exist in the neck of the bottles

El objeto de la invención es conseguir un agrupador que, además de cumplir satisfactoriamente su función como tal, constituya un asa sólida y cómoda para el transporte manual de dicha pareja de botellas.The object of the invention is to achieve a grouper that, in addition to satisfactorily fulfilling its function as such, it constitutes a solid and comfortable handle for the manual transport of said pair of bottles.

Background of the invention

Son conocidos agrupadores para una pareja de botellas estructurados mediante un cuerpo laminar único y monopieza, dotado en cada una de sus dos mitades de orificios con aletas deformables, para enclavamiento de respectivos cuellos de botella, de manera que tales botellas quedan agrupadas por parejas, como repetidamente se ha dicho.They are known groupers for a couple of structured bottles using a single laminar body and single piece, endowed in each of its two hole halves with deformable fins, for interlocking respective necks bottle, so that such bottles are grouped in pairs, as repeatedly said.

El citado cuerpo laminar suele adoptar una configuración acanalada o tubular, y se entiende que al estar este tipo de agrupadores destinados exclusivamente a una pareja de botellas, ello es debido a un considerable peso de las mismas, el correspondiente, por ejemplo, a dos litros de capacidad para cada una de ellas.The aforementioned laminar body usually adopts a corrugated or tubular configuration, and it is understood that being this type of groupers intended exclusively for a couple of bottles, this is due to a considerable weight of them, the corresponding, for example, to two liters of capacity for each one of them.

Los agrupadores convencionales cuentan con una pareja de orificios en su zona media, que permite la introducción de sendos dedos de la mano para el transporte del conjunto, siendo evidente que esta solución resulta incómoda para el usuario al tener que soportar un peso considerable, del orden de los 4 Kg a los que se ha aludido con anterioridad, con tan solo dos dedos y a través de bordes del cartón relativamente cortantes.Conventional groupers have a pair of holes in its middle zone, which allows the introduction of two fingers of the hand for the transport of the set, being Obviously, this solution is uncomfortable for the user to have to bear a considerable weight, of the order of 4 Kg to those that have been alluded to previously, with only two fingers and to through relatively sharp edges of the cardboard.

Description of the invention

El agrupador-sustentador que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, de manera que cumpliendo con plena satisfacción su función como agrupador, en el mismo se define un asa que facilita de forma muy considerable la suspensión manual del mismo, haciendo que ésta resulte mas cómoda al poderse utilizar prácticamente todos los dedos de la mano.The grouper-sustainer that the proposed invention resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problem discussed above, so that complying with full satisfaction your function as a grouper, in it you define a handle that greatly facilitates manual suspension of it, making it more comfortable to be able to use virtually all fingers of the hand.

Para ello se parte, como es convencional, de un cuerpo laminar y monopieza, preferentemente de cartón o similar, en el que se definen dos sectores extremos con respectivos orificios asistidos por aletas de retención sobre el cuello de las respectivas botellas, con la especial particularidad de que tales sectores extremos están relacionados entre sí mediante un estrecho cuello intermedio, cuya anchura es suficientemente reducida como para constituir un asidero de fácil agarre manual.This is done, as is conventional, a laminar and single piece body, preferably of cardboard or similar, in which defines two extreme sectors with respective holes assisted by retention fins on the neck of the respective bottles, with the special feature that extreme sectors are related to each other by a narrow intermediate neck, whose width is sufficiently reduced as to constitute a handle with easy manual grip.

Cada uno de los orificios anteriormente citados tiende a la configuración circular, pero con aletas trapezoidales que penetran en el seno del mismo y que constituyen los citados medios de retención, y que son abatibles con respecto al plano general del agrupador con la colaboración de líneas discontinuas de plegado troqueladas en dicho cuerpo laminar, todo ello de forma que dichas aletas ceden cuando se introduce el tapón de las botellas a través de los respectivos orificios, hasta sobrepasar dicho tapón, momento en que la recuperación elástica de los mismos hace que éstas se enclaven por su borde libre sobre el escalonamiento definido entre el tapón y el cuello de la botella, o por cualquier otro tipo de resalte que incorpore dicho cuello, quedando las botellas firmemente unidas al agrupador y solidarizadas entre sí a través de éste último.Each of the holes mentioned above tends to circular configuration, but with trapezoidal fins that penetrate within it and that constitute the aforementioned retention means, and which are collapsible with respect to the plane general group with the collaboration of dashed lines of folding die cut into said laminar body, all in a way that said fins yield when the bottle cap is inserted into through the respective holes, until the said plug is exceeded, moment when the elastic recovery of these causes that these they are interlocked by their free edge over the defined stepping between the cap and the neck of the bottle, or by any other type Highlight incorporating said neck, leaving the bottles firmly united to the group and in solidarity with each other through the latter.

Para facilitar la necesaria deformación del cuerpo laminar durante la maniobra de acoplamiento del agrupador a las botellas, se ha previsto que en correspondencia con el imaginario eje longitudinal del cuerpo y en las zonas extremas del mismo, se establezcan sendas líneas de plegado, y que en el cuello intermedio existan otras líneas de plegado, en este caso transversales, múltiples y sustancialmente próximas, que facilitan a su vez el arqueamiento de dicho cuello para que éste adopte un perfil curvo, sensiblemente próximo al de un asa convencional.To facilitate the necessary deformation of the laminar body during the coupling operation of the grouper a the bottles, it is planned that in correspondence with the imaginary longitudinal axis of the body and in the extreme areas of the same, two fold lines are established, and that in the neck intermediate there are other folding lines, in this case transversal, multiple and substantially close, which facilitate turn the bow of said neck so that it adopts a curved profile, substantially close to that of a conventional handle.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas, y en particular de la figura 1, puede observarse como el agrupador-sustentador que la invención propone está constituido a partir de un cuerpo laminar (1), como anteriormente se ha dicho de cartón o similar, en el que se definen dos sectores extremos (2-2'), de contorno tendente al pentágono, que se unen a través de un estrecho cuello intermedio (3) que los relaciona a través de uno de sus imaginarios vértices determinando una acusada estrangulación, como se observa en cualquiera de las dos figuras.In view of the figures outlined, and in particular of figure 1, can be seen as the grouper-sustainer that the invention proposes is constituted from a laminar body (1), as before it has been said of cardboard or similar, in which two sectors are defined ends (2-2 '), with a contour tending to the pentagon, that join through a narrow intermediate neck (3) that relates through one of its imaginary vertices determining a sharp strangulation, as seen in any of the Two figures

En cada uno de los sectores extremos (2-2') se sitúa, en disposición sensiblemente centrada, una ventana u orificio (4) tendente al círculo, en cuyo sena penetran sustancialmente una pareja de aletas (5-5') de configuración trapezoidal, cada una de las cuales queda delimitada por cortes (6) del cuerpo laminar que se extienden hasta líneas de plegado discontinuas (7-7'), simétricas con respecto al imaginario eje longitudinal del cuerpo laminar (1) y acusadamente convergentes hacia su cuello (3), como se observa en la figura 1, colaborando en la deformación de los sectores extremos durante el montaje de las botellas, otra línea de plegado (8) situada en las zonas extremas del citado eje longitudinal del cuerpo laminar (1).In each of the extreme sectors (2-2 ') is placed, in disposition noticeably centered, a window or hole (4) tending to the circle, in whose sena substantially penetrate a pair of fins (5-5 ') of trapezoidal configuration, each of which is delimited by cuts (6) of the laminar body that extend to dashed fold lines (7-7 '), symmetrical with respect to the imaginary axis longitudinal of the laminar body (1) and sharply convergent towards his neck (3), as seen in figure 1, collaborating on deformation of the extreme sectors during the assembly of the bottles, another folding line (8) located in the extreme areas of said longitudinal axis of the laminar body (1).

De esta manera los sectores extremos (2-2') son susceptibles de adoptar un perfil arqueado cuando se adaptan al cuello de las botellas (9), para una óptima adaptación a éstas últimas, en una situación límite de montaje en la que las aletas (5-5'), tras haber sobrepasado el tapón (10) de las botellas, se enclavan en el escalón perimetral definido entre dicho tapón (10) de la botella y el cuello de la misma.In this way the extreme sectors (2-2 ') are likely to adopt a profile arched when they fit the neck of the bottles (9), for a Optimal adaptation to the latter, in a borderline situation of assembly in which the fins (5-5 '), after having exceeded the cap (10) of the bottles, they are locked in the defined perimeter step between said stopper (10) of the bottle and the neck of it.

Solo resta señalar por último que, como también se observa en la figura 1, el sector intermedio y acusadamente triangular (3) del cuerpo laminar (1), constitutivo del cuello citado, está afectado por una pluralidad de líneas transversales de plegado (11) que facilitan a su vez que el agrupador adopte a nivel de este asa el perfil curvado que muestra la figura 2, para un mejor agarre del mismo, manteniendo dicho cuello (3) una curvatura límite definida por el contacto lateral de las botellas (9), como también se observa en la figura 2.It only remains to note that, as well as it is observed in figure 1, the intermediate sector and sharply triangular (3) of the laminar body (1), constitutive of the neck cited, is affected by a plurality of transverse lines of folding (11) that facilitate the group to adopt at the same level of this handle the curved profile shown in figure 2, for a better grip of it, keeping said neck (3) a curvature limit defined by the lateral contact of the bottles (9), such as It is also seen in Figure 2.
