Description

  The present invention relates to a portable beverage container storage device for storing PET bottles and metal bottles used as containers for various beverages.

  Conventionally, a portable beverage container storage device is generally provided with an opening for taking in and out a container such as a plastic bottle on the upper part of a bag body as a container storage portion with added cold insulation and heat insulation properties. Yes (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

A PET bottle or the like usually has a narrow neck portion to which a screw-type lid is attached at the top, and has a substantially uniform thickness from the bottom to the bottom of the neck. Therefore, the bottom of a plastic bottle or the like is inserted from the opening at the top of the bag body, and a string provided at the opening is pulled to reduce the gap with the neck, or the entire body including the neck and lid is covered with the bag On the other hand, Patent Document 2 discloses a plastic bottle holder that allows a plastic bottle to be smoothly inserted from a narrow-diameter neck side by making the bottom part freely openable and closable. In that case, as the opening and closing mechanism, there is a description that attaches a hook-and-loop fastener to the extension piece that extends the lower part of the PET bottle holder, and overlaps the extension pieces so that they can be fixed with a hook-and-loop fastener or peeled off. Yes.

  Patent Document 3 describes an improved invention related to a plastic bottle cover provided with a pocket for storing small items.

  Patent Documents 4 and 5 have nothing to do with beverage container storage equipment such as plastic bottle covers, but attached a leaf spring to the mouth of the packaging bag, opened by pushing the leaf spring, and closed by releasing it. Things are listed.

JP 2004-224420 A JP-A-11-227772 Utility Model Registration No. 3074067 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 09-301386 JP 2004-315061 A

  Conventional portable beverage container storage devices such as plastic bottle covers are mainly required for cold insulation, heat insulation and convenience for carrying around hands and shoulders.

  However, for example, when considering hydration such as marine sports such as surfing, rock climbing, fishing and skiing, it is practical to hang conventional portable beverage container storage devices on hands and shoulders. It is impossible to carry a beverage container directly in a bag or the like carried on the back or in a storage device.

  Also, when placed in a bag on the back, not only does it interfere with exercise, but in order to take it out, the bag must be lowered and taken out once it is stable. For example, in the case of surfing as described above, this is almost impossible.

  The present invention is intended to solve such a problem in the conventional portable beverage container storage device, and maintains the right and left balance of the body without interfering with the movement of the wearer when worn on the body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a portable beverage container storage device that can be easily mounted and removed under any circumstances and in which a beverage container can be taken in and out very easily.

  In the portable beverage container storage device according to claim 1 of the present application, an opening for taking in and out the beverage container is formed below the container storage portion, and the opening is held in a closed state by a spring means. And the beverage container is inserted against the inelastic force of the spring means to open and widen the opening and store the container in the container storage section. It is characterized by being configured to support indirectly.

  By adopting a structure in which the beverage container is taken in and out from the lower side of the container storage portion, the beverage container can be smoothly inserted from the neck portion side having a small diameter.

  In this respect, the plastic bottle holder described in Patent Document 2 can also put a beverage container from below, but when the beverage container is put in and out, the extension piece is spread out by peeling off the hook-and-loop fastener one by one. After putting the container, there is a troublesome operation such as closing the extension again. In addition, for example, it is very difficult to insert and remove the beverage container with the back hand while the plastic bottle holder is mounted on the back side of the body.

  On the other hand, in this invention, a spring means is used for the opening part for taking in / out a drink container, and a drink container can be put in / out without requiring a troublesome operation. As an open / close structure using such a spring means, for example, as described in Patent Documents 4 and 5 described above, a plate spring is attached to an opening serving as a mouth of a storage tool, and the plate spring is opened by pressing the plate spring. It is possible to use one that is closed by releasing.

  In the case of a leaf spring, for example, a hardened steel strip (quenched ribbon) can be obtained at a relatively low cost. However, the leaf spring is not limited to a metal one but may be a synthetic resin leaf spring as in Patent Document 4.

  Further, the spring means is not limited to a leaf spring, and is not particularly limited as long as the opening can be opened and closed using the restoring force of the spring, and may be a coil spring, a rod shape, a linear spring material, etc. It is also possible to use a clasp or the like for maintaining the closed state.

  In the present invention, the spring means is used to open and close the downward opening of the container storage portion, and the beverage container is supported by the spring means when the beverage container is inserted. Regarding the support of the beverage container by the spring means, it is structurally simple to support directly by the spring member constituting the spring means and it is easy to obtain the stability. The case where it supports indirectly through another member linked with the means is also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

  As the material of the container storage part, cloth-like bags used in various portable beverage container storage devices such as conventional plastic bottle holders can be used. It is also possible to use a material provided with a heat insulating layer to provide cold insulation and heat insulation. Of course, a heat insulating layer is not necessary if cold insulation and heat insulation are not required. Further, the material is not limited to cloth, but may be plastic or a combination of plastic or metal partially with cloth.

  In the portable beverage container storage device according to claim 2 of the present application, an opening for taking in and out the beverage container is formed below the container storage portion, and an openable / closable lid is provided in the opening. The lid body is elastically locked to the opening in the closed state, and the lid body is opened by releasing the locked state, so that the beverage container can be taken in and out from below. To do.

  In claim 1, the opening itself is configured to open and close, whereas in claim 2, a lid is provided in the opening so that the lid can be opened and closed with one touch.

  As one of the structures in which the lid is elastically locked to the opening in the closed state of the lid, a material that is easily elastically deformed or a part of the lid and the opening is used. For example, there is a structure in which the lid can be opened and closed by releasing the locking relationship or weakening the locking relationship by applying a certain amount of force, such as by processing into a form in which large elastic deformation is likely to occur.

  In addition, regardless of the material of the lid and the opening, a locking means incorporating a spring, etc., a one-touch locking release means, etc. are provided separately, and the locking state of the lid is determined using the elasticity of the spring. A structure that maintains the open state can be used.

  When taking out the beverage container, it is only necessary to pull the lid directly or open the lid of the opening by operating the button of the unlocking means, and take out the beverage container. When the beverage container is stored, it is desirable to have a structure in which the lid can be locked to the opening with one touch by pushing the lid from below.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the portable beverage container storage device according to the first or second aspect, mounting means for mounting the container storage portion on the body is provided.

  When using for marine sports such as surfing, rock climbing, fishing, skiing, etc., as described in the background section, both hands can be freely used if they can be attached to the body with belts or other means of attachment. You can use it safely and enjoy sports safely.

  For example, a waist pouch belt or a construction belt can be used as the wearing means, and it is not necessary to limit the wearing position to the waist or the like. In this case, it is desirable that the portion for storing the beverage container is located near the spine position.

  Some conventional portable beverage container storage devices are provided with mounting means, but in the case of the present invention, one touch can be taken in and out using the spring means or elastic locking means from the lower side of the container storage portion. Therefore, in the wearing state on the body, the merit of synergistic effect is great in that it can be easily put in and out with the back hand.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the portable beverage container storage device according to the first, second, or third aspect, a suspension means for suspending the container storage portion is provided.

  The hanging means may be simply a string-like one, a ring-like one or a hook-like one, and is not particularly limited.

  If it is hooked at any place by the hanging means, the beverage container can be easily taken in and out from the downward opening urged by the spring means in the suspended state (in combination with the invention according to claim 1), or Even with a structure using an elastic locking means, the beverage container can be easily taken in and out (in the case of the combination with the invention according to claim 2), and the space can be saved.

  In the mode of combined use with claim 3, both the mounting means and the hanging means are provided, and any one of them can be used from time to time.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the portable beverage container storage device according to the first or second aspect, the container storage portion is provided in a backpack or a bag, and at least the opening portion is provided so as to be exposed to the outer surface. It is.

  Some commercially available rucksacks have a net-like container storage section provided on the side of the rucksack. However, the putting-in and taking-out is usually performed once the rucksack is lowered. If the portable beverage container storage device of the present invention is combined in a backpack or a bag in an internal or external form, the beverage container can be easily put in and out with the back hand even when it is carried on the back.

  Note that “at least the opening is provided so as to be exposed on the outer surface” means that a simple cover is provided at the position of the opening or the opening is covered from the outside and is exposed only when necessary. It is also intended to include those that are allowed to.

  The portable beverage container storage device of the present invention is configured such that the beverage container can be taken in and out from the lower side of the container storage portion, and the spring means or the elastic locking means has both a one-touch opening / closing function and a beverage container support function. Excellent convenience.
