Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bottle holder suitable for carrying a bottle containing drinking water such as soft drink, juice, coffee, black tea, green tea and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, drinking water as described above was mainly sold in steel cans or aluminum cans having a content of about 250 to 350 ml.
The rate of sale in a state of being contained in a 0 ml PET resin bottle (hereinafter, referred to as a “pet bottle”) is increasing dramatically. The reason for this is that, for example, if the can is opened, the entire content must be drunk at once after opening, whereas the PET bottle has a cap that can seal the mouth even after opening, so the desired It can be divided into several doses, and is convenient.

[0003] In particular, plastic bottles having a capacity of 500 ml have become widespread, for example, in cases of 1500 ml or 200 ml.
0 ml bottled drinking water is heavy and the body of the bottle is too large to handle, making it difficult to handle. It is also considered that the diameter of the body is such that it can be easily grasped with the palm of the hand, and that it is easy to carry in place of a water bottle or to drink drinking water directly from a bottle.

[0004]

However, such a convenient 500 ml PET bottle has the following problems. That is, when the bottle is carried in a rucksack or the like and carried, it takes time and effort to remove the bottle from the rucksack or the like when drinking drinking water, and in a situation where one hand is blocked, the bottle cannot be removed, Sometimes I couldn't drink even if I wanted to. On the other hand, when carrying the bottle while holding it with your hand, there is a drawback that the drinking water in the bottle is heated by the body temperature transmitted from your hand,
There was also a problem that it was inconvenient because the hand holding the bottle could not be used.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems. For example, when the present invention is used to carry a bottle containing drinking water, both hands can be used freely and the user can easily and conveniently use the bottle. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bottle holder that can immediately and extremely easily drink drinking water in a bottle.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a bottle holder according to the present invention has a mouth portion formed above a cylindrical body portion through a neck portion and an outward flange portion. A base for holding a bottle, having a means for attaching to a belt such as trousers on the back side, and a substantially C provided at an upper part on the front side of the base and holding the neck of the bottle detachably. And a substantially C-shaped body holding member provided at a lower portion on the front side of the base portion for holding the body of the bottle detachably.

In the above structure, the neck holding body and the body holding body are pivotally supported so as to be rotatable between a holding position protruding toward the front side of the base portion and a folding position along the front surface of the base portion. Is what it is.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

The flange portion 54 is provided so as to protrude outward from between the neck portion 53 and the mouth portion 55. The mouth 55 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with an open upper end, and a thread (not shown) is protruded from an outer peripheral surface thereof, and a cap 56 is screwed using the thread.

The bottle holder 1 has a base 2 in the form of a rectangular plate, and a belt of pants, slacks, pantalons, skirts (hereinafter referred to as "trousers") is provided on the back side of the base 2. An inverted L-shaped clip portion 3 (an example of a mounting means) for mounting the bottle holder 1 on the projection 60 is projectingly provided. The clip portion 3 contacts the trousers or the like at the time of mounting to improve stability.
The lower end 3a (see FIG. 2) is formed in a substantially semicircular front shape having no corners so that the lower end 3a is extended longer than the lower end and does not cause pain to the wearer.

On the front side of the base part 2, a neck holding body 4 and a body holding body 5 are provided. The neck holding body 4 is pivotally supported at the upper end of the base 2 via a connecting member 6.
More specifically, FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 5, and FIG.
As can be seen from the figure, a pair of left and right support pieces 7 are erected on the upper end surface of the base portion 2, and a pair of left and right projecting pieces 8 are suspended from the lower end of the connecting member 6. A pin 9 that penetrates the protruding piece 8 located at
Are provided respectively. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, each pin 9 is configured by connecting a square columnar portion 9 a on the head side and a columnar portion 9 b on the distal end side in series. Further, the pin holes 7 a and 8 a formed in the support piece 7 and the protruding piece 8 are formed in a square hole shape to be fitted in the square columnar portion 9 a of the pin 9. Further, a pressing operation portion 10 is fixed to the tip of the columnar portion 9b, and a compression coil spring 11 is fitted around the outer periphery of the columnar portion 9b between the pressing operation portion 10 and the protruding piece 8. As described above, the rotation of the connecting member 6 is normally prevented by fitting the quadrangular columnar portion 9a of the pin 9 into the pin holes 7a and 8a as shown in FIG. 6, the pin 9 moves inward against the urging force of the coil spring 11, as shown in FIG. 6, so that the fitting state between the square pole portion 9 a and the pin hole 8 a is released, and the connecting member 6 Is configured to be rotatable around the columnar portion 9b of the pin 9.

At the upper end of the connecting member 6, a pair of left and right bearing portions 1 is provided.
3, and as shown in FIG. 3, the neck holding body 4 is rotated by a rotating shaft 13 having both ends supported by the bearings 12.
Are rotatably supported. The neck holding body 4 includes the base 1
4 and a pair of holding pieces 15 are formed in a substantially C shape in plan view. Each holding piece 15 is formed integrally with the base 14 by an elastically deformable synthetic resin, and faces each other at an interval slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the neck 53 of the bottle 50. Pressing 53 pushes each holding piece 15
Is pushed outward and its elastic restoring force causes the neck 5
3 is to be clamped. In order to facilitate the pushing of the neck 53, the tip of each of the holding pieces 15 has a shape that spreads obliquely outward. Further, on the lower surface of the base 14,
An abutment projection 16 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) that projects against the connecting member 6 to prevent the neck holding body 4 from rotating below horizontal.

On the other hand, a pair of left and right bearings 17 project from the front surface near the lower end of the base 2, and as shown in FIG.
The body holding member 5 is rotatably supported. The body holding body 5 is substantially C-shaped in plan view having a size in which a ring having an inner diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the body 51 of the bottle 50 is partially cut out from the base 19 and the pair of holding pieces 20. It is formed in a shape. Each of the holding pieces 20 is formed integrally with the base 19 by an elastically deformable synthetic resin. When the body 51 is pushed inward of these holding pieces 20, each holding piece 20 is pushed outward and spreads, and its elastic restoring force is exerted. Thereby, the body 51 is sandwiched. In order to facilitate the pushing of the body 51, the tip of each holding piece 20 has a shape that spreads obliquely outward. An abutment projection 21 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) that abuts against the base 2 to prevent the body holding body 5 from rotating below the horizontal is provided on the lower surface of the base 19. Has been established.

When using this bottle holder 1,
The neck holding body 4 and the body holding body 5 are
The belt 60 that has been previously rotated to a clamping position that projects substantially horizontally to the front side of the
And insert the clip 3 from above between the pants
As shown in FIG. 1, the bottle holder 1 is positioned such that the belt 60 is positioned at the upper end of the gap between the back surface of the base portion 2 and the clip portion 3.
Is attached to the belt 60. Then, with the neck 53 of the plastic bottle 50 applied to the tip of the neck holding body 4 and the body 51 of the plastic bottle 50 applied to the tip of the body holding body 5, the PET bottle 50 faces the base 2. Press down on. As a result, the neck 53 is located between the holding pieces 15 of the neck holding body 4, and the body 51 is held between the holding pieces 2 of the body holding body 5.
The PET bottle 50 is held between the 0 and 20 by being pushed in from the sides and held by the bottle holder 1 (see FIGS. 1 and 7).

When drinking drinking water in the plastic bottle 50, the user holds the plastic bottle 50 with one hand and
Then, each of the holding pieces 15 and 20 is elastically deformed outward, and the neck 53 and the body 51 are pulled out from the neck holding body 4 and the body holding body 5. Thereby, the plastic bottle 50 is removed from the bottle holder 1. When drinking water remains in the plastic bottle 50 after drinking the drinking water, the mouth 55 is sealed again with the cap 56, and the plastic bottle 50 is attached to the bottle holder 1 in the same manner as described above.
Is kept.

Since the bottle holder 1 is configured as described above, it has the following advantages. That is, since the bottle holder 1 is attached to the belt 60 and the plastic bottle 50 is held by the bottle holder 1, both hands can be used freely in the holding state. If the bottle holder 1 is located on the side of the waist or diagonally rearward, the bottle holder 1 and the plastic bottle 50 are less likely to hinder the operation. In addition, the neck holding body 4 holds the neck 53, and the body holding body 5 holds the body 51, and the upper surface of the neck holding body 4 contacts the lower surface of the flange 54 so that the flange 54 is held from below. Because it supports, the holding state is stable, not only when walking, but also when running or jumping a little, bending or bending the body,
The PET bottle 50 does not come off from the bottle holder 1 and does not become disturbed by swinging around like a water bottle suspended from the neck with a string or the like. Furthermore, the mounting of the PET bottle 50 on the bottle holder 1 and the removal from the bottle holder 1 can be performed with one hand.
0 can be pressed and pressed against the base 2 side or pulled in the opposite direction, so that the PET bottle 50 can be immediately removed from the bottle holder 1 when necessary, and the internal beverage can be removed. You can drink water.

Therefore, needless to say, when carrying the plastic bottle 50 when traveling or going out, for example, those who work by climbing high places, those who do agricultural work, those who fish,
The present invention can also be extremely suitably used for a case where a person who performs outdoor activities such as hiking and camping carries the plastic bottle 50.

Further, since the PET bottle 50 is held on the front side of the base portion 2 whose rear side faces the body, the base portion 2 is always interposed between the PET bottle 50 and the body, and both are directly connected to each other. Never touch. Therefore,
The drinking water in the plastic bottle 50 does not warm or cool due to the body temperature, and the coldness or heat of the surface of the plastic bottle 50 does not cause discomfort to the wearer.

Further, if the body 51 of the plastic bottle 50 is configured to be inserted into and supported by an annular body having an appropriate inner diameter, the neck 53 is clamped after the body 51 is inserted into the annular body. The body 4 must be pinched, making the attachment / detachment operation cumbersome, and depending on the outer diameter of the body 51, it is impossible to insert the body into the annular body, or the outer surface of the body 51 and the inner surface of the annular body may While there is a possibility that a gap may be generated between the bottle holder 1 and the support state may become unstable, the body 51 of the bottle holder 1 is held by the body holding member 5 that can be elastically deformed. Even when the outer diameter differs to some extent, even when the body 51 has a shape other than a hexagonal cylinder (for example, a square cylinder or a cylinder),
The support state does not become unstable. Of course, a PET bottle having the body portion 51 extended downward to increase the internal capacity can be similarly held.

When it is no longer necessary to hold the plastic bottle 50 in the bottle holder 1 after drinking water or the like, the neck holding body 4 is first erected as shown by the arrow A in FIG. After turning to the state, the connecting member 6 is turned downward while pressing the pair of pressing operation portions 10 from both sides as shown by arrow B, and the body holding member 5 is shown by arrow C. By turning it upwards,
As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the neck holding body 4 and the body holding body 5 can be turned to a folded position along the front surface of the base 2.

When the bottle holder 1 is folded in this way,
Even when the bottle holder 1 is not used, the bottle holder 1 does not become an obstacle.
Also, there is no possibility that the body holding body 5 may be damaged by hitting another object. Also, when the bottle holder 1 is detached from the belt 60 and stored in a bag or the like, a large storage space is not required and the bottle holder 1 can be stored compactly.

Incidentally, it goes without saying that the bottle holder of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.
However, the mounting means may be of any configuration as long as the bottle holder can be mounted on the belt. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), a flexible belt-shaped upper end portion is fixed to the back surface of the base portion 2. Body 30 and a hook-and-loop fastener 31 attached to the lower end of the band 30 and the back surface of the base 2 at a position opposite to the belt 30, and a belt (not shown) between the band 30 and the base 2 The bottle holder may be attached to a belt by interposing the hook-and-loop fasteners 31 with each other. As shown in FIG. 10 (b), a substantially U-shaped belt loop 33 which forms a space 32 through which the belt can be inserted is fixed on the back surface of the base portion 2 and the belt once removed is removed from the end by the space 32. The mounting means may be configured to be inserted through the mounting means.

In the above description, the neck holding body 4 and the body holding body 5 are formed of a synthetic resin. However, the neck holding body and / or the body holding body may be, for example, a substantially C-shaped elastically deformable metal spring plate. It may be molded into a piece. Further, in the above description, the neck holding member 4 is pivotally supported on the base portion 2 via the connecting member 6 in order to make the folded state of the bottle holder 1 when not in use more compact. Part 2
Of course, it may be configured to pivot directly on the upper end of the. Furthermore, the case where the plastic bottle 50 is held has been described above.
It may hold a bottle made of synthetic resin or glass other than ET.

[0023]

As described above, in the bottle holder of the present invention, the bottle holder is attached to a belt such as pants, and the bottle is held by the bottle holder. It can be used freely and is convenient.The neck holding body holds the bottle neck, the body holding body holds the bottle body, and the upper surface of the neck holding body contacts the lower surface of the bottle flange. Since the flange portion is supported from below, the holding state is stable, the bottle does not come off from the bottle holder, and it sways, for example, like a water bottle suspended from the neck with a string or the like. It does not get in the way. In addition, the bottle can be attached and detached with a very easy operation of grasping the bottle with one hand and pressing it against the base part or pulling it in the opposite direction, such as when holding a PET bottle containing drinking water Is very convenient because it can be immediately removed from the bottle holder when needed and the drinking water inside can be drunk. Furthermore, since the base portion is interposed between the held bottle and the body, the drinking water in the bottle does not warm or cool due to the body temperature, and the wearer is injured by the cold or hot surface of the bottle. There is no pleasure.

Further, since the neck holding body and the body holding body are rotatably supported between a holding position protruding toward the front side of the base and a folding position along the front of the base, the bottle is supported. When not in use, the bottle holder is folded compactly so that the bottle holder does not get in the way even if it is still attached to the belt, and the neck holder or body holder hits other objects and breaks There is no fear.
In addition, when the bottle holder is folded, the bottle holder can be removed from the belt and stored in a bag or the like without requiring a large storage space and can be stored compactly.
