Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

        The present invention provides a structure in which the outflow part of the liquid in the bottle and the air inflow part into the bottle are separated by the partition by providing a partition having an air hole inside the spout in the spout of the beverage bottle A bottle for recognizing the position where the lips are applied and the positional relationship between the air hole and the liquid outflow part on the outer surface of the spout having the spout The present invention relates to a beverage bottle or a spout provided with a mark according to the outer shape of the spout.

As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 3520448 relating to a beverage bottle spout, a partition and an air hole are provided inside the spout of the bottle, making it easier to drink and more beautiful when drinking than previous commercial beverage bottles. However, excellent progress was made in terms of ease of drinking in a moving car and ease of pouring into a container. However, at the same time, when drinking from a beverage bottle, it was possible to drink in the same way regardless of which side of the spout was up, but the beverage with a spout with a partition or air hole. When drinking with a jar, it is now necessary to tilt the jar so that the air hole is at the top. However, there has never been an invention for marking the outer surface of a beverage bottle having a partition and an air hole inside the spout for indicating the position of the air hole or the position of the liquid outflow portion.
There are the following inventions for marking or braille on a synthetic resin container so far.
Claim 5 of P2002-83611 describes a stamp indicating a crushing direction for folding a synthetic resin container for disposal. Further, Japanese Patent Application No. 11-93316 describes a crushable plastic bottle with a crushing order number and an operation stamped on the operation content. Further, P2000-161889 has an invention aimed at improving the display state of Braille that displays the type and use of contents in Braille without impairing the appearance. In addition, in P2002-22777, there is a description of an in-mold label in which traces of a molding die are distributed in an array that forms Braille. By making protrusion-like suction marks formed on the label surface into an array that forms Braille. In order to eliminate the problems caused by the protrusions, the contents of the contents and the products are displayed. Furthermore, P2000-354493 describes a synthetic resin container for enhancing a product identification function that can be distinguished from other containers in terms of both appearance and texture. These objectives are to increase the volume reduction rate of the disposal of synthetic resin containers, to improve the display state of Braille, to effectively use the traces of the suction holes for decoration, and to enhance the product identification function of the container. It did not indicate the vertical direction or the position of the air holes when tilting the bottle.

Problems to be solved by the invention

        Usually, for people without visual impairment, it is not a problem to visually recognize the location of the liquid outflow part or air hole of a beverage bottle and drink it. If you do not touch the inside of the spout with your fingers or check the position of the liquid outflow part or the air hole once you check the position of the liquid outlet or air hole, I couldn't tilt the bottle. This is also the case when trying to drink from a bottle in the dark, and it has become necessary to be able to easily recognize the position where the lips are applied and the position of the air hole by other methods that do not rely on vision. The present invention can be applied to the position where the lips are easily applied or the bottle is tilted without relying on sight, even before opening the bottle, after opening the bottle, even in the dark or in the dark. It was invented to make it possible to recognize whether it should be up.

Means for solving the problem

The mark (9) of the outer shape of the bottle or spout (2) of the beverage bottle or spout (2) can be made at the stage of forming the beverage bottle or spout (2). Therefore, it is possible to make the shape, unevenness and Braille unevenness necessary for the mold at the stage of manufacturing the mold for molding. Moreover, an uneven | corrugated seal | sticker, a label, etc. can also be affixed after formation of a drink bottle or a spout. The shape mark (9) is formed on the side surface of the bottle or spout (2) where the air holes (4) are formed by giving a different shape from the other parts of the bottle or spout or on the liquid outflow part (5). By applying a different shape to the other part on the side, or by marking the outer surface of the bottle or spout to indicate which one should be upward, the positional relationship between the air hole and the liquid outflow part It can be specified.
In addition, as the shape of the marks by unevenness, the bottle should be tilted with the position of the air hole and the liquid outflow part in the upward direction, such as dome shape, straight line, arrow, star-shaped unevenness, relief of pattern or character, etc. Anything may be used as long as it indicates.
In any case, the marks by these shapes are only to show the positional relationship between the air holes and the liquid outflow part, and to indicate which one should be tilted upward or tilted when the bottle is tilted However, it is not intended for product identification with other products or for beauty in design.

The embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 are examples in which a convex mark (9) is provided on the outer surface of the beverage bottle on the air hole (4) side. FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are examples in which a convex mark (9) is provided on the outer surface of the spout (2) with the air holes (4) attached to the spout (7) of the bottle by screwing. FIG. 6 shows an example in which there is a concave mark (9) on the outer surface of the spout (2) with the air holes (4) attached to the spout (7) of the bottle by fitting. In these examples, touch the mark (9) on the outer surface of the beverage bottle or spout with your fingers to check the position of the air hole (4), and tilt the bottle so that the air hole is at the top to drink You can pour and pour. FIG. 7 is a front view of an example of the present invention viewed from the bottle spout direction. The bottle body is a substantially cylindrical bottle, and only one side surface having the liquid outflow portion (5) is flat. FIG. 8 is a front view of an example of the present invention viewed from the bottle spout direction. When the bottle is erected, the horizontal section of the body of the bottle is substantially square, and only the outer surface with the liquid outflow portion (5) is curved. In these examples, the position of the liquid outflow part (5) can be confirmed by the mark (9) based on the outer shape of the bottle, and the bottle can be tilted and poured so that the liquid outflow part (5) comes downward. FIG. 9 shows an example in which the detachable spout (2) has a flat surface as a shape mark (9) only on the outer surface in the direction in which the air holes (4) are present. FIG. 10 is an example in which the other part of the outer peripheral surface of the spout (2) is circular, and only a part of the outer side having air holes is flattened to form a mark (9) depending on the shape. FIG. 11 is a plan view of the present invention in which the bottle is turned sideways so that the air hole is on the upper side, but the vertical cross section of the body portion viewed from the direction of the spout is substantially square, and on the side surface on the air hole side. This is an example in which there are marks (9) due to continuous unevenness. FIG. 12 is an example in which the display in Braille is on the flat surface of the spout (2) in FIG. In these examples, the mark (9) on the outside of the spout or bottle is touched, the position of the air hole (4) is recognized by these marks (9), and the bottle is placed so that the air hole (4) is at the top. Tilt and drink or pour. In addition, the example of FIG. 12 is an example in which Braille is displayed on the outer surface of the spout (2), but Braille can be similarly applied to the outer surface of the beverage bottle instead of the spout. The example given here is an example in which there is a mark (9) on the outer surface to show the position of the air hole (4) and the liquid outflow part (5). In order to indicate whether the bottle should be tilted, the side surface that is neither the side with the air hole nor the side with the liquid outflow part is provided with irregularities by arrows pointing in the direction of the air hole (4). You can also drink and pour drinks with the bottle facing up and tilting the bottle. In addition, the unevenness | corrugation by the arrow can be attached to the both sides of a bottle and a spout, and the number can be decided freely from a single piece to many pieces.
Furthermore, in a beverage bottle in which the spout (2) is fitted or screwed, the shape mark (9) can be applied only to the outer surface of the spout, or only to the outer surface of the beverage bottle. It can be applied to both the mouth and the outer surface of the beverage bottle at the same time.
