Description

  The present invention relates to a holder for a thin-walled container, and in particular, a holder suitable for supporting an easily deformable thin-walled container replacing a conventional self-supporting PET bottle and the like for containing a liquid beverage or the like. It relates to a container unit with a thin container.

  Many liquid beverages such as mineral water and tea are sold in PET bottles. The PET bottle for this use has a certain thickness and is a structurally self-supporting plastic container, but from the viewpoint of industrial waste problems and cost reduction related to the recent volume reduction and recycling of garbage. The use of thin plastic containers has great significance.

  Reviewing the plastic container from the above viewpoint, the thickness of the container is not broken until the container is manufactured, the liquid beverage is filled in the container and distributed, and the user purchases and drinks the beverage. It should be as thin as possible as long as it can reliably contain and hold beverages.

  However, the thinner the plastic container, the less structurally self-supporting and the easier it is to deform. For example, a relatively large-capacity container such as 2 liters is difficult to grasp, and the user can attach to the container. When gripping the body part of an opened container to drink a stored beverage with the same feeling as an existing plastic container with a certain thickness, the normal gripping force becomes a large external pressure and the body part is easily As a result, it becomes easy to cause problems such as a beverage being ejected from the opening as a result of bending inward, and care must be taken in its handling.

  Then, the objective of this invention is providing the holder for thin-walled containers which can handle the thin-walled container easily, supporting the thinned container appropriately.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a holder for a thin-walled container and a container unit that can be handled in the same manner as a conventional relatively hard container by compensating for the drawbacks of the thin-walled container relating to handling.

Such a technical problem, according to the first aspect of the present invention,
A holding tool for holding a thin-walled container having a spout portion covered with a cap and a container body having flexible flexibility,
A pair of arms engaged with the spout portion of the thin container is provided, and the spout portion of the thin container is inserted into the pair of arms through a gap formed between the free ends of the pair of arms facing each other. An insertable upper part,
A holder body formed integrally with the upper portion and holding the container body of the thin container;
A holder for a thin-walled container is provided, wherein a part of the holder main body is provided with a shape restricting portion that is partly deformed to closely contact the shape of the container body of the thin-walled container. Is achieved.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the above technical problem is
A container unit comprising: a spout part covered with a cap; and a thin-walled container having a deformable and flexible container body; and a holder for holding the thin-walled container;
The holder is
A pair of arms engaged with the spout portion of the thin container is provided, and the spout portion of the thin container is inserted into the pair of arms through a gap formed between the free ends of the pair of arms facing each other. An insertable upper part,
A holder body formed integrally with the upper portion and holding the container body of the thin container;
Achieved by providing a container unit characterized in that a part of the holder main body is provided with a shape regulating portion that is partly deformed and closely adhered to the shape of the container main body of the thin-walled container. Is done.

  According to the holder for a thin-walled container of the present invention, a shape-regulating portion is provided on a part of the holder main body so that the shape of the container body of the thin-walled container is partially deformed to be in close contact. In close contact with the deformable thin-walled container, it is possible to increase the integrity of the thin-walled container by cooperating with a pair of arms engaged with the spout of the thin-walled container. When the holder is lifted and tilted to cause the contents to flow out, the thin container can be prevented from moving in the direction of coming out of the holder.

  The thin-walled container to which the present invention can be applied is a thin-walled plastic container, most preferably a thin-walled plastic bottle, which is a bottle in place of many PET bottles that are currently sold by packaging beverages such as mineral water and tea. Therefore, the holder of the present invention is suitably applied to a case where at least a portion of the bottle body is thinner than a conventional PET bottle and easily deforms by a slight external force.

  This thin container may be a powder or a paste, but typically contains a liquid. Examples of liquids are typically beverages such as mineral water, tea, juice, etc., but generally include any liquid that can be stored and distributed and used in a container. Specifically, seasonings such as sake, soy sauce, miso and vinegar, detergents, liquid bleaches, fiber softeners and the like can be exemplified.

  The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  The illustrated bottle 1 replaces a well-known PET bottle conventionally used for delivering mineral water or tea, and is a plastic molded product.

  The capacity of the bottle 1 that can be used in the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, it may be 500 ml or 1 liter, but is particularly suitable for a large capacity such as 1.5 liter or 2 liter. Available. The capacity of the illustrated bottle 1 is 2 liters. This bottle 1 is typically used for delivering mineral water, but may be used for other purposes, and in addition to various other beverages, liquid seasonings such as soy sauce and miso, It may contain liquids such as shampoos and detergents.

  The basic shape of the bottle 1 is the same as that of the prior art, and has a spout portion and a bottle body 3 that are covered with a cap 2 with a screw. The bottle body 3 is preferably cylindrical from the viewpoint of manufacturing, but may have a non-circular cross section such as an ellipse or a prismatic shape having a cross section such as a square or an octagon.

  Referring to FIG. 3, the spout portion may be the same as that of a conventional PET bottle, and in order from the bottle spout end toward the bottle body 3, a threaded cap 2 having an unopened guarantee ring 4 is provided. It has an open end portion (not shown in the drawing for construction reasons) with a male thread for screwing, a circular flange or neck ring 5, a neck portion 6 and a shoulder portion 7.

  Of the bottle spout part, at least the opening end part, the neck ring 5 and the neck part 6 should have the same thickness or hardness as the spout part of the conventional PET bottle. In addition, it is preferable that at least an upper end portion of the shoulder portion 7, that is, a boundary portion with the neck portion 6 has substantially the same thickness or hardness as the neck portion 6.

  On the other hand, the bottle main body 3 is considerably thinner than the conventional PET bottle, and can maintain its own shape at atmospheric pressure as long as it is not subjected to external forces such as twisting and compression. Range, i.e., within the range that can maintain the independence, but from the viewpoint of industrial waste problems and cost reduction, there is no practical problem, i.e., a liquid beverage or the like is filled in the container, It is preferably thinned to its limit as long as the beverage can be reliably accommodated and held without breaking until the user purchases and consumes the contents.

  When this is expressed by specific numerical values, the wall thickness of the bottle body of the general-purpose PET bottle filled with the current beverage or the like is about 300 microns. In the case of the bottle 1 to which the holder of the present invention can be suitably applied, the wall thickness of the bottle body 3 is less than 250 microns, preferably 200 microns or less, and further thinner, 50 to 35 microns. Also good.

  Referring mainly to FIGS. 1 and 2, the thin-walled container holder 10 according to the present invention is typically a plastic molded article. Usable plastic materials include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), ABS resin, polyamide (PA), polyacetal (POM), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the like.

  The holder 10 includes an upper portion 11 that engages with a spout portion (neck ring 5, neck portion 6, etc.) and / or a shoulder portion 7 of the bottle 1, and a lower portion or body 12 that accommodates the bottle body 3, The bottle 1 is held and has a rigidity capable of providing at least approximately the same independence as a conventional PET bottle. In the illustrated example, the upper portion 11 is composed of a pair of arms 13, but is not limited thereto. Further, the holder 10 according to the present invention may have a shape (full face shape) that covers the entire bottle 1, and is not limited to a shape in which the illustrated upper portion 11 and the holder body 12 are separated from each other. .

  The upper portion 11 functionally has at least a function of preventing the bottle 1 from coming out of the holder 10 when the holder 10 containing the bottle 1 is tilted in order to take out the mineral water from the bottle 1. For example, the upper portion 11 may be engaged with the shoulder portion 7 of the bottle 1.

  In this embodiment, the upper portion 11 is composed of a pair of arms 13 as described above. Thus, the holder 10 has a shape in which the pair of arms 13 and the lower portion 12 are largely separated from each other in the vertical direction, and these elements 13 and 12 are connected to each other by the connecting portion 16 extending in the vertical direction.

  The arm 13 constituting the upper part 11 of the holder 10 will be described. One end of the pair of arms 13 is joined to the connecting part 16, and the connecting part 16 is moved away from the arm 13 in a substantially horizontal direction. The rear portion is bent at a substantially right angle and extends downward, and the lower end of the connecting portion 16 is connected to the lower portion 12.

  As is apparent from FIG. 4, the arm 13 has a substantially circular cross section surrounding the bottle spout portion, but its free ends can be spaced apart from each other to insert the bottle spout portion in a substantially horizontal direction. A gap or an entrance A is formed. Both arms 13 are elastically close to and away from each other, and with the bottle spout inserted between the arms 13, the spout is elastically held and the cap 2 is opened or closed. A substantially circular cross section having a size capable of preventing the spout portion, that is, the bottle 1 from being rotated by the stress due to the rotation of the direction is formed.

  When the unopened guarantee ring 4 is connected to the cap 2 like the bottle 1 shown in the drawing, a strong rotational force sufficient to separate the cap 2 from the unopened guarantee ring 4 is applied when the cap 2 is first opened. It is done. In order to reliably prevent the spout portion, that is, the bottle 1 from rotating even against such a particularly strong rotational force, as shown in FIGS. By tightening with fingers F and F in the direction in which the knob portion 17 is close to each other (the direction in which the gap A is narrowed) (FIG. 4), a stronger restraining force can be temporarily generated.

  As a means for reliably preventing the bottle 1 from rotating against a strong rotational force applied to the cap 2, in addition to the above structure, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, on the inner surfaces of the pair of arms 13, 13, Each of the protrusions 18 is formed, while a pair of notches or recesses 19 are formed at the diametrically opposed positions of the neck ring 5 of the bottle 1, and a structure utilizing the fitting between the protrusions 18 and the recesses 19 is employed. You can also. As a modification, in order to increase the restraining force of the bottle 1 by the arms 13, 13, a spring metal plate may be inserted into the arm 13 during molding.

  Alternatively, by adding a frictional force enhancing structure to the structure of FIGS. 3 and 4, the function of preventing the bottle 1 from rotating due to the rotational force applied to the cap 2 can be strengthened. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of claws or protrusions 18 are formed at the contact portions of the inner surfaces of the pair of arms 13 and 13 with the unopened guarantee ring 4, while the entire outer peripheral surface of the unopened guarantee ring 4 is formed. By providing a large number of longitudinal grooves 19, the frictional force (engagement force) between the arms 13, 13 and the unopened ring 4 can be strengthened.

  Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a frictional element 20 such as rubber is continuously or intermittently applied to the contact portion of the inner surfaces of the pair of arms 13 and 13 with the neck ring 5 over the entire region. It can be provided to reinforce the frictional force.

  The above-described combination of the claw 18 and the longitudinal groove 19 and the friction element 20 that engages with the neck ring 5 have been described in relation to the spout portion of the bottle 1 or the unopened guarantee ring 4. For example, the element 20 may be disposed at a position that engages with the unopened guarantee ring 4, and the claw 18 may be disposed at a position that engages with the neck ring 5 or the neck portion 6 of the bottle 1. .

  Furthermore, as another structure for preventing slippage between the arms 13 and 13 and the bottle spout part, as shown in FIG. 10, the inner surfaces of the pair of arms 13 and 13 are engaged with, for example, the bottle neck ring 5. The portion is provided with a plurality of recesses 23 having a substantially semicircular cross section across the entire area, while a semicircular protrusion 24 complementary to the recess 23 is provided on the periphery of the bottle neck ring 5. The engagement between the projection 23 and the projection 24 can also be used.

  Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, a belt 26 having an engagement hole 25 is connected to the free end of one arm of the pair of arms 13 and 13, while the other arm has a free end in the vicinity thereof. By adopting a structure in which a locking projection 27 that can be inserted into the engagement hole 25 is provided and the pair of arms 13 and 13 are restrained to the bottle 1 spout portion by the belt 16 without loosening, the arms 13 and 13 and the bottle spout are adopted. This is effective in preventing relative rotation between the two parts.

  As a fixing method of the belt 26, as shown in FIG. 13, a ratchet tooth 29 is provided at the tip portion of the belt 26, a tunnel is formed by a ring 30 at the free end of the other arm 13, and the inner surface of the ring 30 is formed. A claw 31 that meshes with the ratchet teeth 29 can also be provided.

  The connecting portion 16 that connects the merging ends of the arms 13 and 13 having the above-described structure and the lower portion 12 extends from the arm 13 in the lateral direction and then hangs down in a substantially right angle direction to form a corner portion 33 (FIG. 1). After being formed, it is continued to the lower portion 12 while gradually widening. The corner portion 33 of the holder 10 is suitable for the user to lift the bottle 1 with a finger to take out the bottle 1 from the refrigerator, for example.

  When the lower part or the main body 12 of the holder 10 receives the bottle main body 3 of the thin bottle 1 containing the liquid and holds the spout portion of the thin bottle 1 between the arms 13, 13, It has rigidity or hardness that can support the bottle 1 without deformation.

  The holder main body 12 is not particularly shown in the drawing, but may be bottomed or may be opened downward. When the lower portion 12 is opened downward, the holder 10 can be attached to the bottle 1 so as to cover the holder 10 over the bottle 1. That is, the bottle 1 can be accommodated in the holder 10 through the lower end opening of the holder body 12.

  When the holder main body 12 has a bottom, the bottle 1 can accommodate the open space between the pair of arms 13 of the holder 10 and the holder main body 12 or the bottle from the side of the holder 10. It can be inserted from the entrance / exit B (see FIG. 1). Of course, even when the holder body 12 does not have a bottom, the bottle 1 can be inserted from the inlet / outlet B that can accommodate the bottle.

  The holder main body 12 has a cylindrical shape with a circular cross section or a substantially circular cross section shown in FIG. 14, and surrounds the lower portion of the bottle main body 3 of the bottle 1. The inner diameter of the holder main body 12 may substantially coincide with the outer diameter of the bottle main body 3, or may have a slight clearance.

  As shown in FIG.1 and FIG.15, the holder main body 12 has a pair of two hollow area | regions 35 and 35 mutually opposed in a diametrical direction. The distance X (FIG. 2) between the two pairs of recess regions 35 facing each other is conveniently designed to have a size suitable for an adult to hold with one hand. That is, it is preferable to set a separation distance between the depressions 35 and 35 so as to be a holding region when holding the holder 10 with one hand.

  As will be described later, by providing the hollow region 35 in the holder main body 12, the inner diameter of the holder main body 12 or the separation distance X between the pair of hollow regions 35 is designed so that the hollow region 35 is in close contact with the thin bottle 1. Is preferred. If the hollow region 1 is forced to be deformed in the direction in which the thin bottle 1 is crushed, it is preferable to set a slight clearance between the holder main body 12 and the thin bottle 1. Due to the deformability of the thin bottle 1, the other portion of the thin bottle 1 is deformed outward by the amount of deformation of the hollow region 35, and an increase in the internal pressure of the thin bottle 1 will be avoided.

  The depression region 35 provided on the wall surface that holds the holder main body 12 may be, for example, vertically long, oval, or circular when viewed from the front, but has a rectangular shape in the illustrated example. The size or area of the depression region 35 is desirably a size that can be expected to have an effect of being distributed over the entire plane without concentrating the pressing force applied from a human finger for gripping on the local area, Although the thickness of the recessed area 35 is equal to the thickness of other parts, the thickness of the recessed area 35 may be made thicker than the other parts.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of horizontal ribs 36 extending linearly in the horizontal direction are formed in the hollow region 35 so as to be spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction. The lateral ribs 36 may be formed by increasing the wall thickness, but in the illustrated example, as shown in FIG. That is, the hollow region 35 has a uniform thickness over the entire surface, and the horizontal rib 36 is formed by waving the wall surface. In the figure, reference numeral 37 indicates an inclined wall that forms a recessed region 35 in the holder body 11. That is, the contour of the recessed area 35 is defined by the inclined wall 37.

  The number of the lateral ribs 36 is not necessarily a plurality, but in order to sufficiently exhibit each function described later of the lateral ribs 36, it is preferable that the number is a plurality. Further, the lateral rib 36 may not be a straight rib extending straight in the horizontal direction but may be somewhat waved. Moreover, the one horizontal rib 36 may have a shape extending intermittently in addition to the shape extending continuously in the horizontal direction as illustrated.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the holder 10 having the above structure receives the bottle body 3 of the thin-walled bottle 1 in the holder body 12, and the spout portion of the bottle 1 is used as both arms. It is used in a state of being held between 13 and keeps the thin bottle 1 upright.

  At this time, the recessed region 35 is in a state of being in close contact with the accommodated thin bottle 1 or preferably in a state of being frictionally engaged by forcibly deforming the thin bottle 1 partially inward.

  Further, the lateral ribs 36 of the recessed area 35 exhibit a function of increasing the rigidity of the recessed area 35. Further, the lateral rib 36 also exhibits a function of preventing the finger of the hand attached for gripping from slipping. Furthermore, when the horizontal ribs 36 are formed by waving the wall surfaces, the thin bottle 1 tends to be deformed along the horizontal ribs 36 as can be understood from FIG.

  In this way, a part of the thin bottle 1 accommodated in the holder main body 12 is brought into a state of being in close contact with the inner wall surface of the holder 10 and frictionally engaged with the thin bottle 1 and the holder main body 12. The integrity of the will increase.

  When drinking mineral water directly from the thin-walled bottle 1 supported by the holder 10 or pouring it into a cup, first, while holding an arbitrary part of the holder 10 with one hand, the cap 2 with the other hand Rotate to remove it. At this time, since the arms 13 and 13 normally hold the spout portion of the thin-walled bottle 1 by their own elasticity, the cap 2 can be obtained without applying further force by the finger F to the arms 13 and 13 portions. It will be possible to remove. However, if the thin-walled bottle 1 is still unopened, the pair of knob portions 17 are grasped with the fingers F to ensure that the bottle spout portion is held by the arms 13 and 13 while preventing the bottle 1 from being rotated. The cap 2 can be separated from the unopened guarantee ring 4.

  Even if the user grips the recessed area 35 when removing the cap 2, the pressing force applied to the recessed area 35 is distributed over the entire recessed area 35 reinforced by the lateral ribs 36. There is no unnecessary crushing of the thin-walled bottle 1 due to the inward deformation of a part of the hollow area 35, and when the cap 2 is removed, the mineral water is inadvertently ejected from the spout. Can be prevented. In other words, if a portion of the dent region 35 is deformed when the dent region 35 is gripped, a partial external force is applied to the thin bottle 1 and the internal pressure of the bottle 1 increases. . Of course, when the internal pressure of the thin-walled bottle 1 rises, when the cap 2 is removed, the mineral water may be ejected from the spout of the bottle 1.

  When the cap 2 is removed, typically, mineral water can be poured into, for example, a cup while tilting the bottle 1 while holding the hollow region 35 with one hand, as in a conventional PET bottle. At this time, slipping of the gripped hand is prevented by the lateral rib 36.

  From the above description, it will be understood that the thin bottle 1 accommodated in the holder 10 can be handled in the same manner as a conventional PET bottle by the holder 10. Further, during all the above actions, the thin bottle 1 is partially in close contact with the holder main body 12 by the lateral ribs 36 and the recessed regions 35 and integrated by frictional engagement, and thus cooperates with the pair of arms 13. Thus, the movement of the bottle 1 in the axial direction, that is, the movement in the direction of exiting can be suppressed.

  When the mineral water in the bottle 1 runs out, the same holder 10 can be used repeatedly by replacing it with a new bottle 1.

  14 and 15 or FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 described later, the bottle 1 and the holder 10 are drawn apart from each other. This means that the existence of the thin bottle 1 is clarified in the drawing. It should be understood that this is mainly due to drawing reasons and is different from the actual situation.

  Drawing after FIG. 16 illustrates the modification of the holder for thin-walled containers according to this invention.

  As can be seen from FIG. 16 in comparison with FIG. 1, the holder 10 of FIG. 16 has a plurality of vertical ribs 38 spaced apart in the recess region 35 and the configuration of the other parts. Is the same as the holder 10 of FIG.

  Even in the case of the vertical ribs 38, as in the case of the horizontal ribs 36 described above, the ribs may be slightly waved instead of being linear ribs extending straight in the vertical direction. Further, one vertical rib 38 may have a shape extending intermittently in addition to a shape extending continuously in the vertical direction as illustrated.

  Further, the vertical ribs 38 may be formed by increasing the wall thickness in the same manner as the horizontal ribs described above, but in the illustrated example, as can be understood from FIG. It is formed by waving the wall surface.

  In the present invention, the rib provided in the recessed area 35 may be a structure that increases the rigidity of the recessed area 35 and / or a structure that can prevent slipping when gripped, and the arrangement thereof is not particularly limited. Therefore, the horizontal ribs 36 and the vertical ribs 38 described above may be disposed in combination, and the convex ribs may be irregularly disposed in the recessed region 35.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 18, the cross-sectional shape of the holder body 12 may have a flat shape. In the illustrated example, the holder main body 12 has an elliptical shape, and is composed of two substantially parallel side walls parallel to each other and an arcuate end wall connecting the ends of the two side walls. You may make it do. In the case of the holder 10 having a non-circular cross-sectional shape in this way, the thin bottle 1 is easily deformed along the cross-sectional shape of the holder main body 12 due to its deformability, thereby partially holding the holder. There is an advantage that the unity with the holder 10 is improved by being in close contact with 10.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 19, you may provide the slit S which cut | disconnects the holder main body 12 to a vertical direction. As described above, when the holding tool main body 12 is provided with the slits S extending in the vertical direction, the holding tool main body 12 may be provided with the bottom wall 39 (FIG. 20). The bottom wall 39 may have a shape that covers the entire area of the holder main body 12 that is open at the lower end, but may have a shape in which the central portion is open, that is, a ring shape that is partially missing. . By providing the bottom wall 39 on the holder body 12, it is possible to prevent the holder body 12 having the slits S from being easily reduced in diameter when the recessed area 35 is gripped.

  Further, as illustrated in FIG. 21, the holder main body 12 may have a polygonal cross-sectional shape. Incidentally, the holder 10 of FIG. 21 has an octagonal cross-sectional shape, but is not particularly limited to an octagonal cross-sectional shape. Thus, in the case of the holder 10 having a polygonal cross-sectional shape, the bottle 1 having a circular cross-section easily deforms along the cross-sectional shape of the holder main body 12 due to its deformability, thereby partially There is an advantage that the integrity with the holder 10 is improved by closely contacting the holder 10.

  In the above, the holder according to the present invention has been described by taking a 2 liter bottle as an example, but the present invention can also be suitably applied to, for example, a small volume 500 ml bottle. In this case, the integrity of the bottle and the holder can be enhanced by providing the holder main body 12 with a pair of opposing recessed regions 35. In this case, the distance between the opposing recessed regions 35 and 35 will be much smaller than in the case of the 2 liter bottle 1, but the holder according to the present invention makes the thin bottle equivalent to the conventional PET bottle. It becomes possible to handle.

  It is preferable to set the separation distance X between the pair of indented regions 35 and 35 facing each other so that gripping ease and / or favorable gripping feeling according to the capacity of the thin bottle can be obtained.

  Specifically, for example, in the case of a 2 liter bottle having a thin bottle height of 250 to 350 millimeters, the separation distance X is desirably set to 90 to 120 millimeters, preferably 100 to 105 millimeters. At this time, it is desirable to set the diameter of the bottle body of the 2 liter thin-walled bottle to 95 to 125 millimeters, preferably 105 to 110 millimeters.

  In the case of a 1.5 liter bottle having a thin bottle height of 250 to 350 millimeters, it is desirable to set the separation distance X to 75 to 90 millimeters, preferably 80 to 85 millimeters. At this time, it is desirable that the diameter of the bottle body of the 1.5 liter thin-walled bottle is set to 80 to 95 mm, preferably 85 to 90 mm.

  Similarly, in thin bottles having other capacities, it is preferable that the diameter of the bottle body is set to be slightly larger than the distance X between the pair of recessed regions 35. Specifically, by setting the diameter of the bottle main body to be larger by about 5 to 40 millimeters, preferably about 5 to 10 millimeters than the separation distance X, it is easy to grip and / or preferred according to the capacity of the thin bottle. Realizing the integrity of the holder and the thin bottle according to the present invention by not only the gripping feeling but also the close contact between the hollow region 35 and the thin bottle while preventing the contents from being ejected due to the deformation of the thin bottle. Can do.
