Description

BOTTLE WITH LID FOR DRINKING

The present invention generally relates to the field of bottles comprising a container and a lid mounted on the container, this lid having a prominent duct for drinking.

The present invention relates in particular, but not exclusively, to bottles of the aforementioned type, the container of which belongs to an electrical household food preparation appliance comprising a rotary tool holder configured to be mounted on the container.

The present invention relates more particularly to the lid of bottles of the aforementioned type.

It is known from document CN208318924U to produce a household food preparation appliance comprising a motorized base, a tool holder having a rotary tool, a container, and a lid for drinking having a prominent duct for drinking, in which the lid for drinking and the tool holder can be mounted alternatively on the container. The drinking lid has a cap pivotally mounted on the body to seal off the prominent drinking passage. A drawback of the embodiment described in this document resides in the relatively large height of the lid for drinking.

Various aspects of the present invention aim to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a lid for drinking whose overall height is reduced, while maintaining good ergonomics of use.

For this, a first aspect of the invention relates to a lid for drinking, comprising a body comprising an upper face having a prominent duct for drinking, and a cap mounted so as to move relative to the body between a closed position, in which the cap closes off the prominent drinking passage, and at least one position of use, in which the cap frees access to the prominent drinking passage, because the upper surface of the body has a depression configured to receive the nose of a user drinking using the prominent duct for drinking when the cap occupies said at least one use position, and the cap covers the depression when the cap occupies the closed position. These arrangements facilitate the consumption of the preparation contained in the container, since the presence of the depression on the upper face of the body of the lid for drinking allows the user to tilt the bottle more to drink. These arrangements also make it possible to reduce the overall height of the lid for drinking, in particular when the cap occupies the closed position, because the presence of the depression on the upper face of the body of the lid for drinking makes it possible to reduce the height of the duct. prominent for drinking.

The cap can cover the upper face of the body when the cap is in the closed position. This arrangement makes it possible to protect the prominent duct for drinking when the cap occupies the closed position.

The cap may have a peripheral border, the peripheral border surrounding the upper face of the body when the cap occupies the closed position. This arrangement makes it easier to hold the cap on the body in the closed position.

The cap may carry an internal seal, the internal seal being inserted into the prominent drinking conduit when the cap is in the closed position. The internal seal may in particular be annular, or form a plug.

The body has a support area configured to carry the cap.

The support zone can be derived from a side wall surrounding the upper face of the body. This arrangement makes it possible to increase the deflection of the cap relative to the body.

The depression may be arranged between the prominent drinking conduit and the support area. This arrangement makes it possible to further distance the support zone from the prominent drinking conduit, which makes it easier to seal the prominent drinking conduit by the cap, as well as to move the cap from the sealing position.

In a direction defined by the prominent drinking duct and by the depression, the dimension of the depression may be greater than the dimension of the prominent drinking duct. This arrangement facilitates the consumption of the preparation contained in the container for different morphologies of users.

The upper side of the body may be circular, the center of the upper side of the body may be farther from the prominent drinking duct than from the depression. This arrangement facilitates the consumption of the preparation contained in the container for different morphologies of users.

The height of the prominent drinking duct may be greater than the depth of the depression. This arrangement makes it easier to clean the lid for drinking.

According to one embodiment, the cap can be pivotally mounted on the body. Thus the cap can be tilted to release the prominent duct for drinking.

According to another embodiment, the cap can be articulated on the body. If desired, the joint can be a flexible joint, or be formed by an elastic hinge.

The body may include an internal face having an internal screw thread for screwing the lid for drinking around a mouth of a container. This arrangement makes it easier to handle the lid for drinking. Alternatively, the body may in particular comprise an external screw thread for screwing the lid for drinking into a mouth of a container, or a bayonet retaining device for assembling the lid for drinking on or in a mouth of a container.

The body can carry an annular seal mounted in the internal face, the internal thread surrounding the annular seal. Alternatively, the body may in particular carry an annular seal mounted on the side wall or on the internal face.

A second aspect of the invention relates to a drinking bottle, comprising a container and a drinking lid configured to be mounted on the container, in which the drinking lid conforms to at least one of the aforementioned characteristics. These arrangements make it possible to obtain a drinking bottle well suited to on-the-go use.

A third aspect of the invention relates to a kitchen appliance assembly for food preparation, comprising a motorized housing, a container, a lid for drinking configured to be mounted on the container, a tool holder configured to be mounted on the container, the tool carrying a rotary tool configured to be driven in rotation by the motorized housing when the tool holder is assembled with the motorized housing, in which the drinking lid conforms to at least one of the aforementioned characteristics. These provisions make it possible to obtain a household appliance for food preparation comprising a drinking bottle well suited to on-the-go use.

The body 10 comprises an upper face 11 presenting a prominent conduit for drinking 12. The body 10 presents a support zone 13 configured to carry the cap 20. In the example embodiment illustrated in the figures, the body 10 presents a side wall 15 surrounding the upper face 11. The support zone 13 comes from the side wall 15.

Alternatively, the support zone 13 does not necessarily come from the side wall 15, but could in particular come from the upper face 11.

The cap 20 carries an internal seal 21, visible in Figure 1. The internal seal 21 is mounted on a support member 23. More particularly in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the seal of internal sealing 21 is annular. The internal seal 21 is mounted around the support member 23. In Figure 2, the internal seal 21 has been removed from the support member 23. As best seen in Figure 2, the support member 23 is annular. The support member 23 has an upper border 24 configured to retain the internal seal 21 mounted around the support member 23.

The cap 20 has an inner face 22, visible in Figures 1 and 2. More particularly in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the inner face 22 comprises a peripheral wall 26 having a peripheral border 27. The support member 23 comes from the inner face 22. The peripheral wall 26 extends around the internal seal 21. The height of the peripheral wall 26 is greater than the height of the support member 23. Thus the inner face 22 forms a shell delimiting a volume inside which the internal seal 21 is arranged.

The cap 20 is mounted to move between a closed position, in which the cap 20 closes off the prominent conduit for drinking 12, and at least one position of use, in which the cap 20 frees access to the prominent conduit for drinking 12 As shown in Figures 1, 3 and 5, the cap 20 occupies a position of use. As shown in Figure 7, the cap 20 occupies the closed position.

According to a preferred embodiment illustrated in the figures, the cap 20 is pivotally mounted on the body 10. As best seen in Figures 5 and 6, the support zone 13 has two arms 13a, 13b traversed by a pin 30, and the cap 20 is crossed by the pin 30 between the two arms 13a, 13b. For this purpose the cap 20 has an upright 25 coming from the peripheral wall 26.

Alternatively, the cap 20 could in particular be mounted articulated on the body 10. A flexible joint or an elastic hinge can in particular be envisaged to connect the cap 20 to the body 10.

Preferably, the cap 20 can occupy a position of use in which the cap 20 can be pivoted by at least 120° relative to the closed position. Even more preferably, the cap 20 can occupy a position of use in which the cap 20 can be pivoted by at least 150° relative to the closed position. As shown in Figures 1, 3 and 5, the cap 20 can occupy a position of use in which the cap 20 can be rotated 180° relative to the closed position shown in Figure 7.

The upper face 11 of the body 10 has a depression 14 which is configured to receive the nose of a drinking user using the prominent conduit for drinking 12 when the cap 20 occupies said at least one position of use. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in the figures, the depression 14 is arranged between the prominent drinking conduit 12 and the support zone 13. Alternatively, the depression 14 is not necessarily arranged between the prominent drinking conduit 12 and the support area 13. The prominent conduit for drinking 12, the depression 14 and the support area 13 are not necessarily aligned along a main direction as in the example embodiment illustrated in the figures.

According to a direction defined by the prominent conduit for drinking 12 and by the depression 14, the dimension of the depression 14 is greater than the dimension of the prominent conduit for drinking 12. In other words, the width of the depression 14 in the direction defined by the prominent drinking conduit 12 and by the depression 14 is greater than the width of the prominent drinking conduit 12 in the direction defined by the prominent drinking conduit 12 and by the depression 14.

The height of the prominent drinking conduit 12 is greater than the depth of the depression 14. In other words, the height of the prominent drinking conduit 12 relative to the upper face 11 of the body 10 is greater than the depth of the depression. 14 with respect to the upper face 11 of the body 10.

As clearly visible in Figure 1, the upper face 11 of the body 10 is circular. The center of the upper surface 11 of the body 10 is farther from the prominent drinking passage 12 than from the depression 14. The center of the upper surface 11 of the body 10 can be arranged in the depression 14.

The inner face 22 of the cap 20 is configured to cover the depression 14 when the cap 20 occupies the closed position. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in the figures, the inner face 22 of the cap 20 is configured to cover the prominent conduit for drinking 12 when the cap 20 occupies the closed position.

The container 2 illustrated in Figure 4 has a mouth 28 having an external thread 29.

As best seen in Figures 3 and 8, the body 10 includes an inner face 16 having an internal thread 17 to screw the lid to drink 1 around the mouth 28 of the container 2. The body 10 carries an annular seal seal 18 mounted in the internal face 16. The internal thread 17 surrounds the annular seal 18.

The lid for drinking 1 may comprise a device for retaining the cap 20 in a position of use, to prevent the cap 20 from falling back on the body 10 during the use of the lid for drinking 1. To this end, the body 10 has a first lug 31, and cap 20 has a second lug 32, visible in Figures 7 and 8. The first lug 31 and the second lug 32 are configured to come into contact with each other, to form a hard point, and to allow the passage of the hard point, in both directions, from the closed position shown in Figure 7 to a use position shown in Figure 8, as well as from a use position shown in Figure 8 to the closed position shown in Figure 7. As clearly visible in Figure 8, the hard point is close to a position of use in which the cap 20 is rotated approximately 180 ° relative to the closed position shown in Figure 7.

Figure 9 illustrates a tool holder 4 configured to be mounted on the container 2. Figure 10 illustrates the tool holder 4 mounted on the container 2, in an inverted configuration for use on a motorized box (not shown in the figures) . The tool holder 4 carries a rotary tool 5 configured to be driven in rotation by the motorized casing when the tool holder 4 is assembled with the motorized casing. A food preparation household appliance suitable for making mixed preparations, in particular drinks, and for transporting the preparation obtained for subsequent consumption in nomadic mode, can thus be obtained with a motorized box of the aforementioned type associated with the tool holder 4 , container 2 and drinking lid 1.

The present invention operates and is used as follows. The user can fill container 2 with the desired ingredients. The user can then mount the tool holder 4 on the container 2 then mix the ingredients contained in the container 2 by placing the tool holder 4 on a suitable motorized box. The user can then remove the tool holder 4 from the container 2 and mount the drinking lid 1 on the container 2 to obtain the drinking bottle 3. Alternatively, the user can pour the desired preparation into the container 2 and then mount the lid for drinking 1 on the container 2 to obtain the bottle for drinking 3.

To transport the drinking bottle 3, the user places the cap 20 in the closed position on the body 10 to close the prominent conduit for drinking 12. When the cap 20 occupies the closed position, the cap 20 covers the depression 14.

In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, when the cap 20 occupies the closed position, the peripheral edge 27 surrounds the upper face 11 of the body 10. The peripheral edge 27 then bears on an annular recess 19 surrounding the face upper 11. Alternatively, the peripheral edge 27 does not necessarily rest on an annular recess 19 surrounding the upper face 11 to cover the upper face 11.

In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, when the cap 20 occupies the closed position, the cap 20 covers the upper face 11 of the body 10. The inner face 22 of the cap 20 then caps the upper face 11 of the body 10 As a variant, the cap 20 does not necessarily cover the entire upper face 11 of the body 10, but may cover part of the upper face 11 comprising the depression 14.

In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in the figures, when the cap 20 occupies the closed position, the cap 20 covers the prominent conduit for drinking 12. Alternatively, the cap 20 does not necessarily cover the prominent conduit for drinking. 12.

In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in the figures, when the cap 20 occupies the closed position, the internal seal 21 is inserted into the prominent conduit for drinking 12. Alternatively, the internal seal 21 is not necessarily annular. The internal seal 21 can in particular be formed by a plug configured to close the prominent conduit for drinking 12.

To consume the preparation contained in the container 2 carrying the lid for drinking 1, the user raises the cap 20 so that the cap 20 occupies a position of use clearing access to the prominent conduit for drinking 12 and to the depression 14. The user can then bring the prominent pipe 12 to his mouth. The depression 14 can accommodate the user's nose, which allows a greater inclination of the drinking bottle 3, facilitating the flow of the contents of the container 2 through the prominent drinking duct 12.

When the cap 20 is moved from the closed position, illustrated in Figure 7, to a position of use illustrated in Figure 8, the first lug 31 and the second lug 32 are first moved away from one another. 'other. The first lug 31 and the second lug 32 then come into contact, to pass the hard point, then are again moved away from each other, after passing the hard point, as shown in FIG. 8. Thus in the position of use represented in FIG. 8, the first lug 31 and the second lug 32 oppose the movement of the cap 20 towards the closed position, due to the coming into contact of the first lug 31 with the second pin 32.

Various modifications and/or improvements obvious to those skilled in the art can be made to the embodiment of the invention described in the present description without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the appended claims.
