Description
本発明は、一般には、容器に関し、より詳細には、積み重ね可能なボトルのシステムに関する。 The present invention relates generally to containers, and more particularly to a stackable bottle system.
ボトルの側面にボトルの積み重ねを許容する貯蔵ボトルを提供することは公知である。そのようなボトルの例は、「瓶詰めされた水の容器」という名称のカリスの米国特許No.4,892,207、「積み重ね可能なボトル」という名称のフラームの米国特許No.5,002,199、「内部適合の積み重ね可能なボトル」という名称のシーザーらの米国特許No.4,308,955、及び「容器構造」という名称のハリスの米国特許No.3,889,834に含まれている。ボトルの横向きの積み重ねは、特にボトルの中身が液体の場合には、ボトルの中身がボトルから漏れるおそれを増加させるため、そのような積み重ね可能なボトルは理想的ではない。 It is known to provide storage bottles that allow the bottles to be stacked on the side of the bottle. Examples of such bottles are: Charis U.S. Patent No. 4,892,207, named "Bottled Water Container", Fram U.S. Patent No. 5,002,199, "Stackable Bottle" US Pat. No. 4,308,955 to Caesar et al. Entitled “Nana Bottle” and Harris US Pat. No. 3,889,834 entitled “Container Structure”. Such stackable bottles are not ideal because side-by-side stacking of bottles increases the risk of bottle contents leaking from the bottle, especially when the bottle contents are liquid.
別のボトルの底部の凹部にボトルのネック部を入れることのできる積み重ね可能なボトルを提供することも公知である。そのようなボトルの例は、「積み重ね可能な容器の改善」という名称のクリマリンの米国特許No.1,042,998、「積み重ね可能なボトル」という名称のメータの米国特許No.5,133,469、「積み重ね可能なボトル」という名称のブラントの米国特許No.4,805,793、「積み重ね可能な入れ子式飲料容器」という名称のジャスティスの米国意匠特許No.D466,413、及び「積み重ね可能な水ボトル」という名称のプレストンのPCT国際特許出願No.PCT/AU93/00380に記載されている。これらの入れ子式の積み重ね可能なボトルはそのような積み重ねられたボトルに安定性を与えるためにボトルの側部又は頂部呼び底部を連結するための手段を備えていない。さらに、入れ子式のボトルは上記積み重ねられたボトルにより作用する圧力の下、崩壊に耐えるのに十分な強度を備えていないことがよくある。 It is also known to provide a stackable bottle in which a bottle neck can be placed in a recess in the bottom of another bottle. Examples of such bottles are US Patent No. 1,042,998 for Crimarin, entitled “Improvement of Stackable Containers”, US Pat. No. 5,133,469 for Meters named “Stackable Bottles”, “Stackable Bottles”. Brandt's US Patent No. 4,805,793 named Justice's US Design Patent No. D466,413 named "Stackable Nested Beverage Container" and Preston's PCT International Patent named "Stackable Water Bottle" Application No. PCT / AU93 / 00380. These telescoping stackable bottles do not include means for connecting the side or top nose of the bottle to provide stability to such stacked bottles. Furthermore, telescoping bottles often do not have sufficient strength to withstand collapse under the pressure exerted by the stacked bottles.
さらに、入れ子式のネック部と上面と下面を接続するための連結手段を組み込んだ積み重ね可能なボトルが公知である。そのようなボトルの例は、「ブロー成形の容器」という名称のマリスの米国特許No.3,474,843及び「容器」という名称のダー・ユアンの米国特許No.2,641,374に含まれている。しかしながら、そのようなボトルはそれらの側壁を連結するための手段を含んでいない。 In addition, stackable bottles are known that incorporate a nesting neck and connecting means for connecting the top and bottom surfaces. Examples of such bottles are contained in Maris US Pat. No. 3,474,843 entitled “Blow Molded Containers” and Dar Yuan US Pat. No. 2,641,374 named “Containers”. However, such bottles do not include means for connecting their side walls.
入れ子式のネック部とボトルの側部を接続するための連結手段を空見込んだ他のボトルが公知であり、「積み重ねる凹部を有するプラスチック容器」という名称のドーンらの米国特許No.6,588,612及び「移動式の容器搬送ユニット」という名称のハッセルマンの米国特許No.3,369,658に含まれている。しかしながら、これらの容器は上面と下面を連結するための手段を含んでいない。 Other bottles are known in the art that allow for a linking means to connect the telescoping neck and the side of the bottle, and U.S. Pat.Nos. 6,588,612 and Dawn et al. US Pat. No. 3,369,658 to Hasselman, entitled “Mobile Container Transfer Unit”. However, these containers do not include means for connecting the upper and lower surfaces.
「積み重ね可能な液体用重合体容器」という名称のドティの米国意匠特許No.D407,020に記載されているボトルには、ボトルのハンドルが水平連結手段の構成要素である積み重ね可能なボトルが記載されている。そのような構造は、ボトルが積み重ねられている時にボトルのハンドルを利用できない点で決して理想的ではない。 The bottle described in Doti's US Design Patent No. D407,020 entitled “Stackable Liquid Polymer Container” describes a stackable bottle in which the handle of the bottle is a component of the horizontal connection means. Has been. Such a structure is never ideal in that the bottle handle is not available when the bottles are stacked.
「モジュール式ボトル」という名称のクラークのPCT国際特許公開公報No.WO/03055756には、側面連結手段と同様に、ボトルのネック部を別のボトルの底面の凹部に入れることのできるボトルが記載されている。そのボトルはそれに含まれる飲料の消費後に組立て玩具としての使用の意図している。そのボトルは消費品を含むボトルの安定した垂直方向の積み重ねのための平らな上面及び底部の支持面を備えていない。 Clark's PCT International Patent Publication No. WO / 03055756, named "Modular Bottle", describes a bottle in which the neck of the bottle can be inserted into a recess in the bottom of another bottle, as well as the side connection means. Has been. The bottle is intended for use as an assembled toy after consumption of the beverage contained therein. The bottle does not have a flat top and bottom support surface for stable vertical stacking of bottles containing consumables.
積み重ね可能なボトルを包装及び輸送するための現在のシステムは、包装されたボトルを囲う厚紙又は他のしっかりした支持構造を必要とする。 Current systems for packaging and transporting stackable bottles require cardboard or other secure support structures that surround the packaged bottles.
理想的には、積み重ね可能なボトルのシステムの使用のための積み重ね可能なボトルは、通常、そのシステムの他の積み重ね可能なボトルの対応するネック部及び凹部と適合するサイズのネック部及び床の凹部を有しているべきである。そのようなボトルは隣接するボトルの側面を接続するための連結手段と、ボトルの頂部を他のボトルの底部に接続するための連結手段を備えているべきである。ボトルの全体の外形は、一般に、積み重ね容積を最適化するため側面に沿って平坦である。それぞれのそのようなボトルは、ボトルがそのようなボトルの積み重ねに組み込まれた時に利用可能な少なくとも1つのハンドルを備えているべきである。そのようなボトルは下方のボトルがつぶれることなく垂直に積み重ねるのに十分強くあるべきである。そのようなボトルの組立体は厚紙又は他のしっかりした材料の支持なしに包装可能であるべきである。 Ideally, stackable bottles for use in a stackable bottle system typically have a neck and floor size sized to match the corresponding neck and recess of other stackable bottles in the system. Should have a recess. Such a bottle should have connecting means for connecting the sides of adjacent bottles and connecting means for connecting the top of the bottle to the bottom of another bottle. The overall profile of the bottle is generally flat along the sides to optimize the stacking volume. Each such bottle should have at least one handle available when the bottle is incorporated into a stack of such bottles. Such bottles should be strong enough to allow the bottom bottles to stack vertically without collapsing. Such bottle assemblies should be packable without the support of cardboard or other secure material.
従来技術はこれらの構成要素の幾つかを含んでいるが、従来技術のボトルは本発明による積み重ね可能なボトル及び積み重ね可能なボトルのシステムの所望なすべての特性を組み込んではいない。 Although the prior art includes some of these components, the prior art bottles do not incorporate all the desired characteristics of the stackable bottle and stackable bottle system according to the present invention.

Similarly, the protrusion on the upper surface has a size corresponding to the size of the recess on the lower surface, and allows appropriate engagement of the protrusion with respect to the recess at a detachable position. As shown in FIG. 3, the
図1及び2に示されているように、ネック部8はスナップキャップ9の取り付けのため環状の突出部30を有している。代わりに、ネック部8は螺子式キャップ(図示省略)の取り付けのため外螺子山を有している。少なくとも1つの窪み34は側壁に供給され、ハンドルとして作用する。図2及び3に示された実施の形態では、窪み34,36が角の近傍に設けられ、他の操作が可能とはいえ、親指と人差し指によって掴めるように設けられている。例えば、ユーザは一方の窪み34を一方の手に掛け、他方の窪み36を他方の手に掛けて、ボトルを持ち上げる。隣接する側壁12,14の間の一対の窪み34(図示省略)はボトルの側面の端部又は角の一つで第1のハンドルを形成する。第2対の窪み36,(図示省略)は残りの側壁16,18の間に形成されている。図1に示されているように、ボトルはラベル又は他のマーキング器具を貼り付けるため側壁の表面に1以上の浅い凹部40を備えていてもよい。
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the
図1〜3は、スタックに一緒に格納されている時に頂部の高負荷に耐えるためボトルに形成されたリブ31,33,34を示している。例えば、リブは円錐形状の天井部31、側壁33又は円錐形状の凹部335に配置されていてもよい。図4は円錐形状の凹部のリブ35及び垂直な側壁のリブ36を有するボトルの底面図を示している。ボトルが寿命の終わりで空の時にリブは頂部の負荷の強度を増加させ、崩壊し難くする。また、図4にはボトルを持ち上げるため、手動での利用が可能な底面の1つ以上の端部に切り込み部27が示されている。図5に示す代わりの実施の形態では、円錐形状の天井部は十六角形断面を有し、頂部の負荷強度を向上する。

図3及び4に示されているように、ボトルの下面42は上面の突出部と係合するため中央に配置される円錐形状の凹部44と少なくとも1つの周辺の凹部46を備えている。
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the
図6には、スタック容量を最適化する安定したスタックのために最適な平坦な構造を示す積み重ねられた構成で2つのボトルが示されている。下方のボトル50の上面のネック部8及び円錐形状の天井部6は上方のボトル52の下面の凹部44内に適合するような大きさに形成されている。その適合によりボトルの口に配置されたラベル又はシールに損傷を与えることなくボトルの積み重ねが可能になる。上方のボトル52の側壁は下方に配列された下方のボトルの側壁により十分に支持されている。安定した機能を提供するのと同様に、水平連結手段はスタックの安定性を保証する配列機能を与える。
FIG. 6 shows two bottles in a stacked configuration showing an optimal flat structure for a stable stack that optimizes stack capacity. The
図6に示された実施の形態の凹部44は、ボトルの凹部44が下方のボトルのネック部8に亘って取り付けられている時にボトルを軸方向に偏向させる凸面51を表わしている。換言すれば、ボトルが液体で満たされた時に特に有用となるボトルを一緒に積み重ねる時に本発明に自動的に中心に戻る側面がある。ボトルが液体で満たされた時に積み重ねる場合、ボトルを正確に中心に置くのは難しい。したがって、凹部44の凸面51は次に隣接するボトルに取り付けられたボトルを軸の中心方向に偏向させる傾向がある。
The
図7は本発明の4つの積み重ね可能なボトル2の組立体を示している。ボトルは水平に配列されると共に連結されている。水平に連結されたボトルは、柔軟なプラスチック等の柔軟な包装材料54で包装され、包装及び輸送のための安定性を与える。より多くのプラスチックの包装(図示省略)を使用し、ホコリの蓄積を防止するためボトルの側面及び頂部を十分に囲ってもよい。柔軟な紐55は組立体の対向側面の間に延出し、ボトルの上面の上方に中央のハンドルを形成する。ボトルの組立体が水平位置のボトルにより向きを定められた場合、代わりに紐はボトルの組立体の一側部の側壁の上方に向きを定められる。本発明の組立体は紙又は他のしっかりした包装支持材料を使用することなくボトルの包装を可能にし、それにより包装費用を削減する。
FIG. 7 shows an assembly of four
図8は本発明のシステムを示し、パレット60に積み重ねられた複数の積み重ね可能なボトル2のスタック56を示している。ボトルは水平と同様に垂直に配列及び連結される。ボトルは取り扱いの容易のため柔軟な包装材料で包装された4個以上のボトルの組立体に分類される。
FIG. 8 illustrates the system of the present invention, showing a
さらにその上、図8に示される積み重ねられたボトルは三次元、すなわち、ボトルの側壁が突出部と同様に凹部を有している時には二次元に沿って、また、三次元と同様に、すなわち、ボトルの底部及び頂部がボトルの頂部の突出部及び底部の凹部と連結する時は軸方向に、固定又は連結される。そのような三次元の連結により、上述した方法で包装された貯蔵材料の密度を集中するのと同様に輸送中にボトルが分離するのを阻止する。 Furthermore, the stacked bottles shown in FIG. 8 are three-dimensional, i.e., along the two dimensions when the side walls of the bottle have recesses as well as protrusions, and as in three dimensions, i.e. When the bottle bottom and top are connected to the top protrusion and bottom recess of the bottle, they are fixed or connected in the axial direction. Such a three-dimensional connection prevents the bottles from separating during transport as well as concentrating the density of storage material packaged in the manner described above.
本発明のシステムは、ボトルを直立位置に積み重ね、格納及び輸送の間の漏れ及びこぼれを防止することができる。密閉し損なった場合でさえ、水平位置のネック部でボトルが積み上げられている場合にはこぼれが生じることはない。スタックの周辺の書くボトルの少なくとも1つの窪み34から構成されるハンドルの1つは、一度包装材料が取り除かれると、作業者が利用可能となる。垂直及び水平連結手段がスタックの安定性を与えているので、ボトルを保持するためにラックを必要としない。
The system of the present invention can stack bottles in an upright position to prevent leakage and spillage during storage and transportation. Even if it fails to seal, there will be no spillage when the bottles are stacked at the neck in the horizontal position. One of the handles comprised of at least one
本発明のボトルは空の状態と満たされた状態の両方の状態で積み重ねすることができる。ボトルは、ボトルのライフサイクルにおいて、充填中、輸送中、使用前の格納中、消費材料を消費している間、使用後で再生前の格納中に積み重ねられることができる。最初の使用では、ボトルは、飲料水又は他の液体のように、消費可能又は消費不能な材料で満たされていてもよい。一旦最初に使用されると、ボトルは砂のような高密度の材料で満たされ、積み重ね可能な洪水制御装置を提供する。 The bottles of the present invention can be stacked both in an empty state and in a filled state. The bottles can be stacked in the life cycle of the bottle during filling, shipping, storage prior to use, while consuming consumable materials, and after use, during storage prior to regeneration. In initial use, the bottle may be filled with consumable or non-consumable materials, such as drinking water or other liquids. Once used for the first time, the bottle is filled with a dense material such as sand, providing a stackable flood control device.
本発明のボトルはまた貯蔵ボトルの中身を識別スルための手段を組み込んでいてもよい。そのような識別手段は構造上の特徴を見分ける色分け、又は中身を識別する目的のための他の識別する特徴を含んでいてもよい。理想的には、ボトルの製造のために使用される材料はボトルの中身の視覚的に識別するために透明である。 The bottle of the present invention may also incorporate means for identifying the contents of the storage bottle. Such identification means may include color coding that distinguishes structural features, or other identifying features for purposes of identifying the contents. Ideally, the material used for bottle manufacture is transparent to visually identify the contents of the bottle.
当業者であれば、好適な実施の形態の他の変形例を本発明の範囲から逸脱せずに実施可能であることは分かるだろう。 Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations of the preferred embodiment can be implemented without departing from the scope of the present invention.
