BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The drawings illustrate one embodiment of the present invention and will be described below.

In the present embodiment, a container main body 2 is provided which has an opening 4 in which a plastic bottle 1 is housed and which has a cooling and warming function and a top end of the plastic bottle 1 protrudes, and a bottom of the container main body 2. A plastic bottle storage container comprising a bottom lid 5, wherein the bottom lid 5 is provided with a grip 6 for gripping the bottom of the plastic bottle 1, and the grip 6 can grip the plastic bottle 1 in a detented state. Thus, the plastic bottle 1 housed in the container body 2 is prevented from rotating by the frictional resistance of the gripping portion 6 that grips the bottom of the plastic bottle 1. It is configured to be performed.

As the container body 2, a vacuum insulated double container made of metal is employed.

The container body 2 is cylindrical and has an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the PET bottle 1.

An upper lid 8 that covers the distal end of the plastic bottle 1 protruding from the opening 4 of the container main body 2 is screwed onto the distal end of the container main body 2.

The bottom cover 5 is screwed into the lower opening of the container body 2. In this screwing structure, when the bottom cover 5 is turned and screwed into the container body 2, the direction in which the bottom cover 5 is turned (reference A in FIG. It is set so as to be the same as the direction in which the stopper 3 is rotated when rotating and removing (reference numeral B in FIG. 1).

The grip 6 has a trough-shaped configuration formed by a peripheral wall that covers the lower part of the side surface of the plastic bottle 1 and a bottom surface that covers the bottom surface of the plastic bottle 1. Further, the peripheral wall portion of the grip portion 6 is configured to be in contact with the inner surface of the container body 2.

The material of the grip 6 is soft, elastic, and has high frictional resistance. Also,
In this embodiment, silicone rubber is employed as a material satisfying this condition.

The grip 6 is detachably provided on the bottom cover 5. Specifically, a structure is employed in which the bottom surface of the gripping portion 6 is fixed to the upper surface of the bottom lid 5 by a screw body 9. It is configured to be detachable from the lid 5.

The screwed body 9 is rotated by inserting a small piece such as a ten-dollar coin into the upper exposed portion of the screwed body 9 so that the screwed body 9 can be rotated without using a tool such as a screwdriver. An insertion section 10 for movement is provided.

Further, a projection 7 projecting from the inner surface of the container main body 2 and pressing the peripheral wall of the grip 6 is provided at a position below the inner surface of the container main body 2 where the peripheral wall of the grip 6 is located. ing. When the convex portion 7 is present, the peripheral wall portion of the grip portion 6 which is in contact with the lower portion of the side surface of the plastic bottle 1 is pressed inward (toward the plastic bottle 1) by the convex portion 7, and the locking action is accordingly strong. Is exhibited.

The convex portion 7 is provided on the inner surface of the container body 2 and has a gently tapered shape from the top to the bottom of the convex portion 7. The lower portion of the convex portion 7 The upper part is formed on a tapered surface that protrudes inward.

The commercially available PET bottles 1 have substantially the same outer diameter at the bottom (particularly, the 500 ml PET bottles 1 which are in high demand have almost the same outer diameter at the bottom). The structure for locking the plastic bottle 1 so that it cannot rotate is only a matter of whether or not the grip 6 can substantially conform to the shape of the bottom of the plastic bottle 1.

The bottom cover 5 has a structure in which an upper bottom cover half 5a and a lower bottom cover half 5b are superimposed, and a gap is provided in the overlapping portion, and a heat insulating material 12 is filled in the gap. Have been.

A ring-shaped fitting member 11a made of synthetic resin and provided with a screw thread to be screwed with the bottom cover 5 is attached to the lower portion of the side surface of the container body 2 by force fitting. According to this configuration, a troublesome process of forming a screw thread at the lower portion of the side surface of the metal container main body 2 becomes unnecessary, and the fitting member
By providing 11a, a thread can be easily provided at the lower part of the side surface of the container body 2.

The upper portion of the container main body 2 is provided with an upper shoulder of the plastic bottle 1 so that the temperature of the cold beverage in the plastic bottle 1 does not change as much as possible when the upper lid 8 is removed. The PET bottle 1 has a tapered shape that substantially covers the portion and only the plug 3 of the PET bottle 1 and a portion near the plug 3 are exposed from the container body 2.

A ring-shaped fitting member 11b made of synthetic resin and provided with a screw thread to be screwed with the upper lid 8 is also provided on the upper side surface of the container body 2.

Since the present embodiment is constructed as described above, the plastic bottle 1 housed in the container body 2 is
When the upper lid 8 is removed and the stopper 3 of the plastic bottle 1 is rotated, the rotation of the plastic bottle 1 is prevented. The PET bottle container is excellent in practicality and operability in which the plastic bottle 1 does not rotate together with the rotation of the stopper 3 and the rotation operation of the stopper 3 can be favorably performed.

Further, since the holding portion 6 is made of an elastic material, the bottom of the plastic bottle 1 may have various shapes such as a substantially circular shape, a hexagonal shape, and a quadrangular shape in plan view.
The gripper 6 is elastically deformed so that the plastic bottle 1
The container can be held in close contact with the bottom of the PET bottle, and can reliably prevent the plastic bottle 1 from rotating.

Further, the bottom cover 5 is removed from the container body 2,
Since the plastic bottle 1 is housed in the container main body 2 from the bottom side of the container main body 2, the upper part of the container main body 2 is tapered in comparison with the configuration in which the plastic bottle 1 is inserted from above the container main body 2. As a result, the temperature of the beverage in the plastic bottle 1 changes when the upper lid 8 is removed from the container body 2 and the stopper 3 of the plastic bottle 1 is rotated. This makes it possible to prevent as much as possible from becoming possible, and it becomes a PET bottle container excellent in practicality and insulated heat. If the plastic bottle 1 is inserted from above the container main body 2, the opening 4 of the container main body 2 must be made larger by that much, and the upper lid 8 is removed to drink the beverage in the plastic bottle 1. When the PET bottle 1 is exposed, the exposed portion of the PET bottle 1 becomes large, and accordingly, the cold-retaining property decreases accordingly.

Further, since the bottom lid 5 is provided with the holding portion 6, a pet with excellent practicality can reduce a screwing structure for screwing the bottom lid 5 to the container body 2. It becomes a bottle storage container. In addition, for example, if a grip portion for gripping the upper shoulder of the plastic bottle 1 is provided on the upper part of the container body 2, there are many types of curved shapes of the upper shoulder of the plastic bottle 1. In order to cope with this, the distance between the grip portion and the bottom lid 5 must be variable. That is, there is a disadvantage that the vertical height of the screwing structure must be set large so that the bottom lid 5 can be set at an arbitrary vertical position with respect to the container body 2.

The screwing structure of the bottom cover 5 and the container body 2 rotates in the direction in which the bottom cover 5 is screwed into the container body 2 and the direction in which the stopper 3 of the PET bottle 1 is removed. Since the same direction is used, the turning operation of the stopper 3 when removing the stopper 3 does not loosen the screwing between the bottom cover 5 and the container body 2, so that the pet is more excellent in practicality. It becomes a bottle storage container.

The grip 6 has a trough-shaped configuration formed by a peripheral wall covering the lower side of the plastic bottle 1 and a bottom surface covering the bottom of the plastic bottle 1. 6 is applied to both the lower side surface and the bottom surface of the plastic bottle 1, so that a more practically usable plastic bottle storage container that exerts a strong rotation preventing action. .

Further, since the peripheral wall portion of the grip portion 6 is configured to abut against the inner surface of the container body 2, the reaction of this abutment presses the PET bottle 1, and the rotation is more reliably performed. It is a practically usable PET bottle storage container that exhibits an inhibitory action.

Further, since the convex portion 7 is provided on the inner surface of the container main body 2, the peripheral wall portion of the grip portion 6 which comes into contact with the convex portion 7 is pressed inward, so that the lower portion of the side surface of the plastic bottle 1 is pressed. The PET bottle storage container is more practical because it is pressed to exhibit a stronger rotation inhibiting action.

Further, since the convex portion 7 is set to have a gently tapered shape from the top to the bottom, when the bottom cover 5 is screwed into the container main body 2, the grip portion 6 inserted into the container main body 2. Is gradually climbed over the tapered portion of the convex portion 7, the grip portion 6 is smoothly inserted into the container body 2, and the presence of the convex portion 7
It becomes a PET bottle container excellent in practicality and workability even if the insertion work is not hindered.

Also, since the gripper 6 can be detached from the bottom cover 5, when the gripper 6 becomes dirty or deteriorated, the gripper 6 can be removed and washed or replaced. PET bottle storage container.

Further, since the gripper 6 is attached to the bottom cover 5 by a screw body 9 which can be rotated by a small piece such as a ten-yen coin, the gripper 6 can be easily obtained without having to search for and use a tool or the like. It becomes a PET bottle storage container that is more practical and operable than can be replaced.

Further, since a vacuum insulated double container is employed as the container body 2, the effect of keeping the cold temperature is high. In addition, since the bottom cover 5 is provided with the heat insulating material 12, the bottom cover 5 is also kept cool. This is a highly practical PET bottle storage container that can effectively keep the stored PET bottles 1 cool and warm for a long time.

The thread provided on the container main body 2 for screwing the bottom cover 5 and the upper lid 8 onto the container main body 2 is formed by a method of forming a thread directly on the metal container main body 2. Without
Since the fitting members 11a and 11b made of synthetic resin having threads are provided by attaching them to the container body 2, a PET bottle storage excellent in practicality and productivity in which the threads can be easily formed. It becomes a container.
