Abstract

The detachable support for a drink container on a golf trolley consists of a clamp (I) and a tilting holder (II). The clamp consists of three parts (1-3) for fixing onto a fixture and a peg (4). The tilting holder is made up of a back plate (20) with a slotted hole (21-23) for suspending it on the peg. A pivoting support (24) is joined to the back plate at its base and further up from the base is fitted a part circular strap (26).

Description

The present invention relates to a removable container support

  cylindrical drink intended to hang

  to a mobile receiver such as a golf bag and for receiving a beverage container.

  There are different types of supports, for example folding supports for receiving a cup. These supports are integral with the backrest of vehicle seats (train, plane). They are raised in the rest position or retracted position or lowered to a position substantially

  horizontal to form an opening in which a frustoconical cup can be placed. The taper of the gob-

  let and the diameter of the orifice of the support mean that the cup remains pressed and held in the support by its weight while being able to be extracted by hand.15 However, precisely because of its shape, such a support cannot receive a cylindrical container or

  shape comparable to a cylindrical shape.

  There are supports to receive receipts

  pients of cylindrical shape. This is in particular a support

  formed of a cage made of bent steel wire or plastic material

  that, not foldable or deformable, and which is screwed by a lug on a part of bicycle like the crossbar, a

  bar descending towards the crankset or the handlebar stem.

  These supports receive a plastic bottle (or

  can). However, such supports are not suitable for receiving

  see open containers such as "wooden boxes-

  its "which are not like bottles fitted with a stopper or a closable spout and closed in the non-use position. This support holds the bottle in a substantially vertical position and, as the opening is closed, the jolts to which the bottle is submitted does not cause loss of liquid. But such a support could not receive an open container. In addition, this support is fixedly mounted on the bike and its size can remain the same since this support always receives the bottle same empty since it serves as a means of storing the bottle on

the bike.

  The present invention aims to develop a removable beverage container support, allowing

  cevoir a container of drink, even opened, on a mobile receiver such as a golf bag, avoiding the overturning of the contents of the container under the effect of the movements of tilting of the receiver, settling quickly and in a very simple and constituting a very space-saving element when it is in the retracted position for storage. To this end, the invention relates to an amo-

  visible, characterized in that it consists of a clamp and a

  folding receptacle, the clamp, intended to be fixed to the receptacle

  tor, comprising a clamping means for closing on the receiver and a pivot, the folding receptacle comprising: - a plate-shaped backrest, the upper part of which is provided with a removable connection means to be suspended from the

  pivot and take an orientation at least substantially ver-

  whatever the orientation of the clamp, - a support connected to the lower part of the backrest by a

  joint to pivot between a retracted position

  be the backrest and a position of use, lowered, in abutment against the backrest, - a hoop connected to the backrest in an intermediate position, by a hinge, to pivot between a retracted position against the backrest and a position of use, lowered, in abutment against the backrest to define, with the support, a housing in which the held drink container slides

  partly in the middle of the arch, leaving the upper part

  accessible to the grip and resting on the support. 3 () The removable support according to the invention is easily placed on a receiver, regardless of the part of the receiver that receives this support, for example

  the top edge of a golf cart or tubular part

  laire. The primary destination of this support is the

  golf whose shape is practically common to all models

  the marketed ones, provided however that this bag is used with a trolley. In this use the support must be

  placed on the edge of the upper part of the bag, and specified-

  at one of the two diametrically opposite points (east / west)

  sies of the periphery of its opening, so that the mechanical property of the pivot, which is to keep the receptacle and its container vertical to the ground, is exerted fully, regardless of the degree of inclination of the cart / bag couple given by the user when he moves by pulling this cart or when he puts it in the parking position. This support can also use its clamp as a simple means of attachment, for example to hang on

  1) on the wall of a storage compartment for the door of a motor vehicle or receiver of the same type.

  This support can just as easily be removed from the

  receptor and as the beverage container is generally discarded

  ble (box), the support does not constitute a means of storage remaining permanently on the receiver: it detaches easily and folds up to form only a relatively thin element which fits easily in a pocket

of a bag.

  The articulation allowing a pivoting movement

  2 () ment and even a certain movement of ball joint, that is to say a movement freer than the strict movement of pivoting,

  allows the receiver with the container to stay in a po-

  always practically vertical (due to the weight of the container and the receiver in the suspended position). This position is retained despite orientation or variations

  orientation of the clamp imposed on it by the

  receptor position. In other words, the phenomenon of oscillations, authorized by the pivot, attenuates the movement of the liquid, and therefore of its risks of overflow,

  caused by the inertial force of accelerations and brakes-

  of the vehicle, if these oscillations can be made in the direction of travel, which requires that

  the support is oriented accordingly.

  According to an advantageous characteristic, the support is a plate continuing on the side of the backrest by two branches connected to the articulation of the backrest, the edge of the branches pressing against the backrest when

the support is in the lowered position.

  According to another advantageous characteristic,

  the arch continues on the side of the backrest by two branches

  linked to the articulation of the backrest, the edge of the branches ve-

  nant bear against the backrest in the lowered position. This articulation of the support and the arch and

  the abutment when the support and the arch are in position

  lowered that is to say, use or position sensi-

  clearly horizontal, if we consider that the backrest is in a vertical position, constitute a very simple solution for

define the tilted position.

  Maintaining in the stowed position or

  rest, against the backrest, can be done by a simple click

  elastic quitting or passage of a boss in a cavity, at the junction between the joint and the corresponding surface of the branch of the support and the arch to retain the support

  and the headband in their folded or unfolded position.

  The removable nature of the clamp and the receptacle

  key allows you to detach it for example to change 2 (0 pliers. Indeed, the support can be composed of a set of different pliers more or less suitable for particular applications, although in general the pliers can install on all common receivers such as walls, tubes, etc.

  This removable connection also makes it easier to

  brication of the support since the clamp and the folding receptacle

  are assembled separately and then simply joined together

  clipping. The pivot and the corresponding means of the backrest (or vice versa) are advantageously constituted by a pivot with a mushroom-shaped head and the corresponding part

  of the file is a key entry type opening; he per-

  puts the passage of the head of the pivot and extends towards the

  high by a slit with a narrow passage at the entrance for

  receive the pivot rod and allow free pivoting

  latif between the clamp and the receptacle, while retaining these

  two parts to each other due to the narrow passage.

  The realization of the arch in the form of a truncated piece covering more than a semicircle without completely closing the circle, reduces the height of the arch in the folded state and thus reduces the size of the support 5 folded without the removal of the front part of the arch in the lowered position reducing the holding of the container to be received by the support. The support generally consists of a plate which can be bordered peripherally; in that case,

  I (if the articulations of the support and the arch are close

  chées, it is interesting to provide a cut in the con-

  turn the support or interrupt this contour so that it can, in the folded position, pass over the edge of

the roll bar itself folded.

  The clamp preferably consists of two parts

  articulated to each other by a hinge or by a joint

  freer culation, allowing to absorb thicknesses

  more important and less fragile than a joint

  tion, with a clamping cam controlled by a lever which brings the two branches of the clamp resiliently to one another on the part of the receiver to which this clamp is hooked. The actuating lever extending the cam is preferably located in a housing of the branch of the

  clamp not located on the side of the receptacle, so that this

  vier is practically retracted in the contour of the branch

corresponding clamp.

  The present invention will be described below from

  in more detail using the accompanying drawings in the-

  which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a support in the deployed position,

  - Figure 2 is a perspective view of the sup-

  port of FIG. 1 in the folded position,

  - Figure 3 is a perspective view of the sup-

  port in deployed position with a beverage container placed in the support, - Figure 4 is a front view of a variant of the folded support, - Figure 5 is a side view of the deployed support of Figure 4 with a container,

  - Figure 6 is a perspective view of the sup-

  port according to FIG. 4, in the deployed position,

  - Figure 7 is a view of the support according to fig-

  Figure 6, in the folded position, - Figure 8 is a simplified side view of the support showing the shape of the clamp, the support and the arch not being shown, - Figure 9 is a rear view of the figure 8, - Figure 10 is a perspective view of the variant support according to Figures 4 to 9, - Figure 11 is a side view of a variant

  of pliers connected to a receptacle folder.

  According to FIG. 1, the invention relates to a sup-

  removable port to receive a cylindrical container

  such as a beverage container (box). This support is intended

  born to hang on a mobile receiver, such as for example the upper edge of the opening of an installed golf bag

in a cart.

  The support according to the invention consists of a

  clamp I and a folding receptacle II.

  The clamp I consists of two branches 1, 2, re-

  linked to each other by a joint type link not shown, and the closure of which is controlled by a

  lever and cam mechanism. This clamp is intended to be re-

  close with its interval 3 on the surface to be pinched.

  The clamp I carries a pivot 4 in the shape of a champi-

  gnon with a rod 41 and a head 42. (see also the figures

gures 4 and 5).

  The folding receptacle II is hooked so

  swivel with clamp I. This receptacle II consists of a back-

  sier 20 in the form of a plate, the upper part of which is

  nie of an opening 21 allowing the passage of the head 42 of the pivot and extending in the upper part by a housing 22 of section corresponding substantially to that of the rod 41 and forming a narrow passage point 23 for the clipping of the

liaison. (figure 4).

  The file and more generally the receptacle II is thus suspended from the pivot under the effect of its weight and the load it receives. This weight keeps the receptacle in

  a substantially vertical position (within the limits

  seed by the degrees of freedom of the pivot / housing link 4/23) whatever the orientation or the inclination of the clamp I. io The backrest 20 carries, in the lower part, a support 24 connected by a double joint 25A, 25B of each

  side of the backrest. It also includes a hoop 26 connected to a double articulation 27A, 27B of the backrest 20. The hoop 26 is located in a so-called "intermediate" position relative to the body so that the upper part of the

  cylindrical container (generally corresponding to more or less standardized dimensions), protrudes towards the top of the arch 26 and can be taken there with the fingers.

  ) The support 24 and the arch 26 pivot around the ar-

  ticulations 25, 27 between a lowered position like that

  shown in Figure 1 and a raised or retracted position

  tee like the one shown in figure 2.

  The support 24 is connected to the two articulations by two branches 241A, 241B, the side facing the file in the lowered position, constitutes a stop limiting the pivoting stroke of the support 24 in this position at

  the square, that is to say perpendicular to the back 20.

  According to the example shown, the support 24 is cons-

  3 () formed by a bottom 243 and an edge 244. It could be

  formed only by an edge 243 of smaller dimensions than those of the arch 26 or more generally of the diameter of the

  container to receive; but this last variant limits-

  would support applications to a certain type of reci-

  pient or to a certain container size.

  The bottom 243 can be opened with a more or less large central opening. It can also be pierced

of several holes.

  The arch 26 is connected to the joints 27 by two branches 261A, 261B which, in the lowered position, constitute

  also kill limit stops by their edge (only the edge 2611B appears in Figure 1), according to the same principle of support as that limiting the movement of the support

  24 in the lowered position as described above.

  To reduce its size in the folded position (Figure 2), the arch 26 is open at the front on an arc less than a semicircle; in other words, the arch 26, cut or open, corresponds to an arc of a circle of more than 180 to effectively retain the container

that he receives.

  When the support 24 and the arch 26 are in the position shown in FIG. 1, they delimit a housing

  cylindrical container into which a beverage container C can be slipped or extracted from above (Figure 3). This figure 3

  shows that the upper part C1 of the container C remains fa-

  eyelash to be taken above the arch 27.

  The joints 25, 27 of the support 24 and the arch 26 preferably have stops or snaps

  not shown which mark the lowered and raised positions

  vee; a slight effort must be exerted to free themselves from these positions, so that the support and the roll bar cannot be

  raised or lowered too easily.

  In the first embodiment, according to FIGS. 1 to 3, the articulation 27 is sufficiently distant from the articulation 25 so that, taking into account the diameter of the support 24 and the arch 26 so that in the folded position , support

  and the roll bar do not overlap (Figure 2).

  3 (I Figures 4, 5, 6, 7 show a variant of

  realization of the support according to the invention. This variant con-

  identifies the form of the 24 'support and the relative arrangement of

  joints 25, 27. These joints are indeed close

  checked so that the support 24 overlaps the rear edge or

  lower of the arch 26 in the folded position (FIG. 7)

  trairement to the embodiment shown in Figure 2

  in which there is no such overlap.

  To allow this overlap flat, the support 24 'has two notches 2441, 2442 made in its edge 244', to bite on the corresponding edge of the arch 26. s The other parts of this embodiment identical or similar to those of the pre-

  previously described have the same references and will not be described again. Figures 8 and 9 show in more detail

  [0 cut the structure of the clamp I of the embodiments of the preceding figures. This clamp, in two parts 1, 2,

  defining an interval 3, is provided with a lever 201 housed in a cavity (202) of the branch 2 of the clamp; this lever 201 is mounted articulated by an axis 203 on the part 2. This

  sink 201 is connected at the front to a rod 204 of which the other ex-

  end is secured to part 1. This rod 204 slides through an orifice not shown in part 2. The lever 201 also includes a boss 205 forming a cam which bears against the bottom 206 of the housing 202 in part 2) to create a pulling effect on the rod 23, so as to pull part 1 against part 2 when the lever 21 is closed, as shown in FIG. 8 and to pinch the means

on which the clamp is hung.

  Figure 10 shows the opening of the two parts

  1, 2 of the clamp I with its interval 3 and the lever 21 for-

mant cam, in raised position.

  To tighten part 2 against part 1 on the receiver, not shown, lower lever 1 to make

  play the cam effect described above.

  ) Figure 9 is a view of the clamp 1 showing the

  lever 21 integrated in part 2 of the clamp.

  According to a variant not shown, the pliers

  carries a side effect cam effect lever. This

  configuration allowing hanging with little space

  be two walls, as may be the case, for example,

  in a car, between the edge of the storage compartment and the

  third. Figure 11 shows a variant I 'of pliers. he

  it is a pliers with two branches 2 ', 3' connected elastic-

  by a 31 'loop. This clamp 1 'comprises, like the preceding clamp, a pivot 4 for receiving the receptacle,

  only file 20 has been shown in this figure.

  The support according to the invention is carried out before-

  suitably made of molded or injected plastic.
