Description

Bottle packing.

Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a bottle packaging suitable for containing a single bottle of a height h.

State of the art

It is known to keep bottles with drinks in a package, usually cardboard. This is frequently the case when it comes to drinks of a price high and / or of a certain prestige, such as high alcoholic beverages graduation, wines, etc. These packages usually meet a double function. On the one hand they protect the bottle from possible shocks and, on the other on the other hand, they show a more attractive image for the possible buyer. However, when you want to consume the drink you Remove the bottle from the packaging and this is usually discarded from later use

Bottles of wines and alcoholic beverages from High graduation are usually made of glass and are usually of a capacity equal to or less than 1 liter. While there are larger bottles capacity, these are usually uncomfortable to use, since they have a weight  elevated and usually have a geometry that makes them difficult to take with one hand, so it is often necessary to use Both hands to take these bottles.

Summary of the invention

The invention aims to overcome these inconvenience This purpose is achieved through a packaging of bottle of the type indicated at the beginning characterized by comprises height reduction means so that it can adopt a first position of high height, where in this first position its height is greater than the height h of the bottle which must contain, and a second position of reduced height, where in this second position its height is less than the height h, and because it comprises a hole in its upper face capable of allowing the passage of a bottleneck.

Effectively in this way the packaging of according to the invention allows access to the neck of the bottle without removing the bottle from inside the packaging. This way you can open the bottle and serve your content keeping it inside the packaging. This has a high aesthetic and commercial interest since on the surface of the packaging a high amount of information can be included and you can provide the set with an attractive image and aesthetic, which they will keep during the consumption of the contents of the bottle, since The packaging is not removed when opening the bottle. In this way the packing fulfills the protective function just like a packaging conventional not only during transport and sale of the bottle but also during its subsequent consumption. And also, the image and the packaging aesthetics are visible to the consumer during the consumption of the contents of the bottle. As you can see, you are advantages are particularly interesting in the case of bottles of large size (particularly in bottles of more than 1 liter of capacity) since they are bottles in which it is most likely not consume at once. They are also particularly interesting in the case of glass bottles, where it is particularly interesting that the protective function is extended until the Bottle has been consumed in its entirety.

Preferably the height reduction means They are reversible. This way if the bottle is not consumed in your whole, the packaging can be returned to its original height, of so that it covers the entire bottle again, and it can be saved until later consumption.

Advantageously the height reduction means They comprise a zig-zag folding zone. The zigzag folding, so that they form some folds in the form of accordion bellows, is a system of achieve simple and reversible height reduction means, since usually (depending on the material) it can be folded and deployed several times without breakage of the material. Usually the packaging will be cardboard and the cardboard allows make these folds and deployed a plurality of times of A completely reversible way. In this sense it is advantageous that the folding zone comprises a horizontal weakening zone and vertical die cut lines. Weakening lines horizontal form preferred bending lines that they will conform the edges of the "accordion" zone, while vertical die cut lines allow zones "accordion" of each side of the packaging can bend independently of the "accordion" zones of the adjacent faces.

Preferably the folding zone is formed only by two folding surfaces in each of The side faces of the packaging.

Advantageously the folding surfaces, in the Second position, make up a handle. Indeed, in this way The packaging facilitates the grip of the bottle. This is particularly interesting in the case of glass bottles, because to the weight of the glass, and especially in the case of bottles with a capacity exceeding one liter, and then the combined weight of the glass bottle itself and the content makes it difficult One-handed operation if they do not have a handle.

Preferably the packaging according to the invention comprises a recess in its front face and a groove in its upper face, where the groove extends from the edge of the upper face facing the recess to the hole by the one that has to protrude the neck of the bottle. In this way, yes when serving the liquid contained in the bottle drops a drop of edge of the bottle at the end of the serving movement, this drop does not collide with the upper face of the packaging and does not stain.

Advantageously the packaging comprises a punched elongated on its anterior face that allows to see the level of liquid in the bottle This way you can see the content of liquid still in the bottle without removing the packing bottle. In this way it is not necessary to extract the Packing bottle in no time.

Detailed description of an embodiment of the invention

Figures 1 and 2 show a package according to the invention when it is in its first position, that is, in its high height position. This position corresponds to which will have the packaging when the bottle has to be transported and sold to the customer. The packaging is substantially a rectangle parallelepiped and presents an anterior face 1, a face back 3, two side faces 5, a top face 7 and a face lower.

The front face 1, the back face 3 and the side faces 5, have weakening lines 9 horizontal and in the edges of union of each one of these faces there is a vertical die cutting line 11. In this way, when exercising a vertical and downward force applied to the upper face 7 of the packaging, it deforms and a folding is formed according to the weakening lines 9, as shown in figures 3 and 4. In this way the lines of weakening 9 and the lines of die cut 11 form a height reduction means.

The upper face 7 also has a hole 13 which allows the passage of the neck 15 of the bottle stored in the inside of the packaging. Before first use the upper face 7 it has a pre-punched that forms hole 13. Additionally the pre-punching forms a groove 17 on the upper face 7 of the packaging. This slot 17 extends from hole 13 to the front face 1. On the front face 1, facing this slot 17 there is a recess 19. In this way a passage zone is formed free "which is very practical to prevent possible drops of liquid that detach from the edge of the bottle neck 15 at finish serving the liquid from the bottle in a glass or cup fall on top face 7 of the packaging with the consequent Bad aesthetic effect.

Preferably the packaging is made of cardboard and the weakening lines 9 are formed by lines of crushing and / or pre-tapping lines, which weaken the internal structure of the cardboard and, therefore, form lines of preferred bending.

As can be seen in Figures 3 and 4, the lines die cut 11 allow each of the faces with lines of weakening 9 folds are formed defining two folding surfaces 21.

The front face 1 has an elongated die cut 23 that defines a first window that allows to see the level of liquid in the bottle On the back side 3 there is a cropped second window 25 and a third window 27 such that it partially extend over the two folding surfaces 21 corresponding. In this way, when the packaging is in its second position (see figure 4), the two folding surfaces 21 make up a handle 29 that allows the whole set to be held formed by the packaging and the bottle and allows to serve the liquid contained in the bottle without the risk of draining the bottle or without the need to take the bottle with both hands.

The packaging also has a second handle 31 formed from a piece of string attached to the front face 1 and the back face 3. This second handle 31 is particularly interesting given that it facilitates the transport of the whole. As already It has been indicated above, it is difficult to handle bottles Of considerable weight if no handle is available. The Asa 29 solves this problem when the user wishes to serve. the Bottle content in a glass. However, handle 29 is only accessible once the packaging is in its second position, so that handle 29 is not available in the store where the product. This would force the grip of a parallelepipedic packaging of considerable weight and size, which is also difficult. The second handle 31 is intended to solve this problem, since facilitates the transport of the set when the packaging is in its first position. Additionally, on one of the side faces 5 there may be a pre-locked defining a handle 33, so that a user can choose between the use of the second handle 31 or of handle 33 for transporting the package before opening and use. This handle 33 is optional, and can be arranged in combination with the second rope handle 31, or instead of it.
