BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable device for a plastic bottle for carrying a plastic bottle hanging from a shoulder.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, PET bottles have rapidly become widespread as containers for holding drinking water such as juice or tea. A major feature of PET bottles is that they are lighter than conventional bottles and cans, and that the stopper can be easily opened and closed. I can do it. By the way, when carrying a plastic bottle, usually, it is only possible to hold it in a hand or store it in a bag, etc.In the former case, it is inconvenient to block the hand, and in the latter case, it is necessary to take out the bag. It is troublesome.

[0003] Therefore, a portable device for a PET bottle that carries the PET bottle over a shoulder or the like has been considered. As such a portable device for PET bottles, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open
One disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 155641 is known.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the portable device 100 for a plastic bottle disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-155641 is made of plastic and has an oval shape. A hole 101 is provided at the center, and small-diameter holes 102 are provided on both sides of the hole 101.
The hole 101 and the small-diameter hole 102 are connected by a groove 103. The inner diameter of the hole 101 is
0, which is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the upper ring 111 (corresponding to the flange portion of the present application),
Is made of plastic and the groove 103 is formed, so that it can be inserted into the neck below the upper ring 111 from the drinking mouth 112 of the PET bottle 110 while elastically deforming. The small-diameter hole 102 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the string 120 and can be hung from a shoulder as shown in FIG. 5 by forming a knot.

[0004] As another portable device for PET bottles, the one shown in FIG. 6 or 7 is also known. The portable device 200 for a plastic bottle shown in FIG. 6 includes a locking ring 201 made of rubber, and an annular string 202 having both ends tied to the locking ring 201. It is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the upper ring of the bottle (not shown), and the locking ring 201 is extended by hand to be inserted into the neck under the upper ring of the plastic bottle from the spout of the plastic bottle. ing.

[0005] A portable device 300 for a plastic bottle shown in FIG.
Consists of an annular string 301 whose diameter can be reduced, and an arc-shaped body 303 having a hole 302 through which the reduced-diameter annular string 301 can pass through at both ends, and a pet between the annular string 301 and the arc-shaped body 303. The PET bottle can be hung by positioning the neck of the bottle (not shown) and moving the arc-shaped body 303 according to the size of the neck.

[0006]

However, in the case of the portable device for a plastic bottle disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-155641, the upper ring 11 of the plastic bottle 110 is not provided.
In order to locate the hole 101 in the lower neck 112, the outer diameter of the upper ring 111, which is larger than the inner diameter of the hole 101, must pass through the drinking opening of the plastic bottle 110. At times, it is necessary to have a certain level of resistance. Therefore, a certain amount of force is required to pass through the upper ring 111, and particularly, when the upper ring 111 is removed, a large difference in level from the upper ring 111 is required and a considerable force is required. In addition, the portable device 100 for PET bottles is also large, so it stands out.
Furthermore, there is a problem that it is difficult to drink it as it is. The PET bottle portable device 200 shown in FIG. 6 cannot be attached or detached unless the locking ring 201 is extended, so that the PET bottle portable device 200 is complicated and requires a considerable force as described above. In the case of the PET bottle portable device 300 shown in FIG. 7, the PET bottle is tightened by the compressive force when the annular string 301 is reduced in diameter by the hole 304 of the arc-shaped body 303, so that the PET bottle is easily pulled out.
