<First Embodiment>
First, the configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bottle holder and a bottle according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the bottle holder 1 of the present invention is a frame-shaped frame that engages with a bottle 2 having a mouth portion 27 by supporting the mouth portion. The state in which the bottle holder 1 and the bottle 2 are engaged with each other is referred to as a bottle 4 with a holder.

The bottle holder 1 includes a top wall 11, left and right side walls 12, 13 and a bottom surface 14.

The bottle 2 has an accommodating portion 20 and a mouth portion 27, and the accommodating portion 20 has a shoulder portion 21, a side surface 22, 23, a bottom surface 24, a front surface 25, and a back surface 26, which are upper surfaces of the accommodating portion.

The cap 3 can be engaged with the mouth portion 27 of the bottle 2, and even if the cap 3 is engaged, it is a portion exposed to the outside, and is the upper surface of the accommodating portion 20 in the mouth portion 27. The portion connected to the shoulder portion 21 is the standing portion 29.

In the bottle holder 1, the top wall 11 is the top surface of the bottle holder 1 and is in contact with the upper ends of the left and right side walls 12, 13. The bottom surface 14 is connected to the lower ends of the left and right side walls 12 and 13.

In the present embodiment, the top wall (also referred to as the upper surface or the upper surface locking wall) 11 is provided with a U-shaped fitting recess 15 that surrounds and locks the upright portion 29 of the mouth portion 27 of the bottle 2 at the rear end. It is formed so as to be cut out from.

The side walls 12 and 13 are provided upright in a substantially vertical direction, and groove-shaped engaging recesses 16 and 17 (see FIG. 2) extending vertically are formed on the inner side surface as a first engaging portion. ing. The term "substantially vertical" includes those that are not strictly vertical but are slightly tilted due to an error or the like.

On the other hand, on the outer surfaces of the side surfaces 22 and 23 of the bottle, engaging protrusions (engagement protrusions) 221,231 extending vertically are provided as a second engaging portion.

When the bottle 2 is set in the bottle holder 1, the upright portion 29 of the mouth portion 27 of the bottle 2 is fitted into and engaged with the fitting recess 15 which is a U-shaped fitting portion of the top wall 11.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, since the storage portion 20 of the bottle 2 has a substantially square tubular shape and the front surface 25 and the back surface 26 have rounded quadrangles, the boundary between the side surfaces 22 and 23 and the shoulder portion 21 and the bottom surface 24 The boundaries between the side surfaces 22 and 23 have a rounded structure.

Next, the details of the bottle holder 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

FIG. 2 is a perspective perspective view of the bottle holder 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a top perspective view of the bottle holder 1 according to the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the bottle holder 1, the lengths of the side walls 12, 13 and the top wall 11 and the bottom surface 14 in the depth direction are substantially equal. Therefore, there is no step on the front end side and the rear end side of the bottle holder 1.

Further, in the example of FIG. 1, the space surrounded by the upper surface of the bottom surface 14 of the bottle holder 1, the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls 12 and 13, and the lower surface of the top wall 11 is formed according to the shape of the housing portion 20 of the bottle 2. , The corners are rounded so that it becomes a quadrangle with rounded corners when viewed from the front. The inner corner of the bottle holder 1 may be all angular, or may include both angular and rounded corners, depending on the outer shape of the accommodating portion 20.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the lower surface of the bottom surface 14 of the bottle holder 1, the outer surfaces of the left and right side walls 12 and 13, and the outer surface defined by the upper surface of the top wall 11 do not have rounded corners when viewed from the front. , It has a quadrangular shape when viewed from the front. As a result, the bottle holder 1 can be made to look more stylish and have a high design. The outer corner of the bottle holder 1 may include both rounded or angular corners and rounded corners, regardless of the shape of the housing portion 20.

Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the top wall 11 of the bottle holder 1 protrudes inward of the U-shape of the fitting recess 15 so as to prevent the mouth portion 27 of the bottle 2 from coming off after fitting. The retaining protrusions 151 and 152 are provided. Once the mouth portion 27 is fitted to the depth of the fitting recess 15 by the retaining protrusions 151 and 152, the mouth portion 27 does not come off from the fitting recess 15 unless the retaining protrusions 151 and 152 are overcome. The holder 1 and the bottle 2 can be lifted or tilted together for use.

Further, an elastic member 19 that is in close contact with the bottom surface 24 of the bottle 2 may be attached to a part of the bottom surface 14 of the bottle holder 1. When the elastic member 19 is provided, as shown in FIG. 3, it is preferable that the elastic member 19 is attached at a position close to the front end side because the bottle 2 can be stably fixed. The position on the bottom surface 14 where the elastic member 19 is attached may be another position.

As a result, if there is a slight dimensional error between the bottle 2 and the bottle holder 1, the bottle 2 may rattle with respect to the bottle holder 1 when the bottle holder 1 is tilted or tilted toward you. It is possible to prevent the bottle 2 from popping out.

In the present embodiment, the bottle holder 1 shows an example in which there is one groove-shaped engaging recess (engaging groove portion) 16 and 17 on the inner side surfaces of the side walls 12 and 13, but the engaging recess is shown. For example, may be a plurality of engaging recesses divided in the vertical direction, or a plurality of engaging recesses may be arranged in the depth direction or provided at different heights in the vertical direction. .. In either case, the position where the bottle can be engaged with respect to the engaging convex portion on the side surface of the bottle, or, as will be described later, the position where the bottle can be engaged with different sizes of the accommodating portion. It is installed in a larger area.

Further, it is preferable that the bottle holder 1 of the present invention is made of wood from the viewpoint of aesthetics. The wood includes, for example, coniferous wood such as cedar, cypress and pine, hardwood wood such as oak, walnut, black cherry, older and rubber wood, and bamboo. In general, bamboo and softwood have the property of being soft and easy to bend because the proportion of air contained between cells is large, and hardwood is hard because the amount of air contained between cells is small. It is hard to be scratched, but it has the property of being hard to bend.

Alternatively, the bottle holder 1 of the present invention may be made of a hard resin or silicon. The hard resin is a self-supporting resin, for example, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polybutylene terephthalate (PBS), polyacetal (POM), polyethylene terephthalate ( It is composed of a polyester resin such as PET) and a resin such as a biodegradable resin.

<Bottle>
FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of the bottle 2 according to the first embodiment. 4A and 4B show a bottle 2 with the cap 3 removed, where FIG. 4A is a top view, FIG. 4B is a front view, FIG. 4C is a side view, and FIG. 4D is a bottom view.

As shown in FIGS. 4 (b) and 4 (c), in the bottle 2 of the present embodiment, the mouth portion 27 has an upper end engaging portion 28 and an upright portion 29. The upper end engaging portion 28 is a screw engaging portion having a smaller diameter and upper side than the standing portion 29 and screw-fitting with the cap 3. The upright portion 29 is a portion that is fitted into the fitting recess 15 of the bottle holder 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, an inner plug 271 having a small hole 272 formed may be attached to the upper end of the mouth portion 27.

In the bottle 2 of the present embodiment, the accommodating portion 20 under the mouth portion 27 has a substantially square tubular shape, and the outer shape of the shoulder portion 21 and the bottom surface 24 have a substantially square or substantially rectangular shape.

Further, since it is fitted into the bottle holder 1, as shown in FIG. 4A, the outer diameter of the upright portion 29 of the lower mouth portion 27 is larger than one side of the square of the shoulder portion 21 or the short side of the rectangle. The dimensions are set to be shorter.

Further, the strip-shaped engaging protrusions 221, 231 provided on the side wall are corner portions as shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C in order to smooth the engagement with the bottle holder 1. It is preferable that the convex portion has a rounded shape.

Further, the bottom surface 24 has a shape in which the center is recessed, and the outside is a bottom edge portion (bottom lip) 241 protruding downward, and the center is a bottom recess 242.

When the elastic member 19 is provided on the bottom surface 14 of the bottle holder 1, the elastic member 19 comes into contact with both the bottom recess 242 and the bottom edge 241 of the bottom surface 24 of the bottle 2.

Further, in the bottle 2, in order to distinguish between the front surface 25 and the back surface 26, a logo design 255 such as a brand logo may be provided on the front surface 25 side, or a brand name may be printed.

In the present embodiment, the bottle 2 shows an example in which there is one band-shaped engaging convex portion on both side surfaces 22 and 23 of the accommodating portion 20, but the engaging convex portion is, for example, in the vertical direction. It may be a plurality of divided engaging protrusions, or a plurality of engaging protrusions may be arranged side by side in the depth direction or may be provided at different heights in the vertical direction. In either case, the bottle holder 1 is provided at a position where it can be engaged with the engaging recesses of the side walls 12 and 13.

The bottle 2 of the present invention is a hard resin bottle or a glass bottle. The hard resin is a self-supporting resin, and is composed of, for example, a resin such as PP, PE, ABS, PBS, POM, PET, or a polyester resin, or a biodegradable resin, as described above. ..

FIG. 5 is a half cross-sectional view of a state in which the bottle holder 1 according to the first embodiment and the bottle 2 fitted with the cap 3 are engaged with each other. In FIG. 5, (a) is a half-cross-sectional view seen from the front, and (b) is a half-cross-sectional view seen from the side. The right side of each of FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b) is a cross-sectional view, and the cross-sectional portion of FIG. 5 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the A side of FIG. 5 (b). ) Is a cross-sectional view of the B surface of FIG. 5 (a).

As shown in FIG. 5, the space surrounded by the lower surface of the top wall 11, the upper surface of the bottom surface 14, and the inner side surfaces of the left and right side walls 12 and 13 of the bottle holder 1 extends below the mouth portion 27 of the bottle 2. The housing portion 20 from the shoulder portion 21 to the bottom surface is formed so as to fit comfortably.

The "dimensions that fit comfortably" refer to the lower surface and the bottom surface 14 of the top wall 11 of the bottle holder 1 with respect to the shoulder portion 21, the lower surface 24, and the side surfaces 22 and 23 of the accommodating portion 20 in consideration of variations due to manufacturing errors. It is preferable to set the dimensions so that the upper surface and the inner side surfaces of the left and right side walls 12 and 13 are in close contact with each other to have a slight gap (about several mm).

When the bottle 2 is made of glass, the length of the bottle holder 1 in the depth direction is set to be equal to the length of the bottle 2 in the depth direction or longer than the length of the side surface of the bottle 2 in the depth direction. Is suitable. In this configuration, the front end and the rear end of the bottle holder 1 extend outward from the bottle 2, so that the bottle holder 1 collides first when there is an impact from the outside. The bottle holder 1 can reliably protect the bottle 2.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the side surfaces are engaged by the engaging convex portions 221,231 and the engaging concave portions 16 and 17 extending in the vertical direction, so that the bottle holder of the bottle 2 is engaged. The rotation with respect to 1 is regulated. Therefore, when opening and closing the cap 3, even if the cap 3 is rotated by holding the bottle holder 1 without holding the bottle 2, the bottle 2 does not come off from the bottle holder 1 and the bottle 2 is together with the bottle holder 1. By rotating with respect to the cap 3, the cap 3 can be opened or closed with respect to the mouth portion 27.

Here, the bottle 2 is rotated with respect to the bottle holder 1 by increasing the lengths of the engaging protrusions 221, 231 and the engaging recesses 16 and 17 constituting the side engaging portion in the vertical direction. The contact area, which is a resistance when doing so, increases, and the effect of regulating rotation increases. Further, even if the convex portions 221,231 and the engaging recesses 16 and 17 have the same length, by increasing the number, the contact area that becomes a resistance during the rotation of the bottle increases, and the effect of restricting the rotation becomes high.

Further, even if the engaging convex portions 221,231 and the engaging concave portions 16 and 17 have the same length, the engaging convex portions 221,231 can be formed by increasing the height of the convex portion and increasing the depth of the concave portion. The angle required to overcome and rotate increases, and the effect of regulating rotation increases. However, if the convex portion is made high and the concave portion is made too deep, if both the bottle 2 and the bottle holder 1 are made of a hard and hard-to-deform material, the fitting and the convex portion cannot be engaged with the concave portion even if they are pushed in. It is necessary to set the height and depth so that the engaging portion can be engaged by pushing it in.

Further, as shown in the cross-sectional portions of FIGS. 5A and 5B, the cap 3 that engages with the bottle 2 may have a double structure.

The double-structured cap 3 has an outer lid 31 and an inner lid 32. The outer lid 31 becomes an external portion of the cap 3, and the inner lid 32 engages with the upper end engaging portion 28 of the mouth portion 27 of the bottle 2. The outer lid 31 has an outer wall 311 and a top surface 312.

The inner lid 32 has a peripheral wall 321 having a screw protrusion formed on the inner circumference and a top surface 322. Further, a protruding boss (also referred to as a sealing protrusion or a sealing portion) 323 provided so as to project downward may be provided on the lower surface of the top surface 322 of the inner lid 32.

As described above, in the configuration of the present invention, the bottle 2 can be attached to and detached from the bottle holder 1. Therefore, the portion of the bottle 2 can be a refill that can be exchanged with the contained contents. That is, the empty bottle 2 can be replaced with a new refill having the same shape and replaced, and the bottle holder 1 can be used repeatedly.

In this example, the cap 3 having a double structure has been described, but the cap 3 may be a cap formed by a single layer structure. Further, different caps may be set depending on whether the bottle is in the refilled state before assembly and in the used state after being fitted into the bottle holder 1. In that case, since the refill cap is replaced with a cap at the time of use after assembly and then discarded, a cap formed of a single layer structure is preferable.

As described above, the bottle 2 in which the refill cap is engaged or the cap 3 which is commonly used at the time of use is engaged can be distributed as a refill by itself.

On the other hand, the bottle holder 1 can also be independently distributed to the bottle 2 as a replaceable decorative and reinforcing frame. For example, frames of different colors and materials that can be fitted to one bottle 2 may be prepared so that the user can selectively purchase them.

Alternatively, after all the contents in the bottle 2 have been used, the bottle 2 is filled with a refill liquid contained in, for example, a pouch bag, so that the bottle 2 is repeated together with the frame-shaped bottle holder 1. You may use it.

<Matching procedure>
Next, attachment / detachment of the bottle and the bottle holder according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a method of attaching the bottle 2 to the bottle holder 1 according to the first embodiment.

In the present embodiment, when mounting the bottle, first, as shown in FIG. 6A, the bottle 2 is faced with the back surface 26 facing forward with the fitting recess 15 on the rear end side of the bottle holder 1 facing forward. Bring closer.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6B, the bottle 2 is pushed into the bottle holder 1. By this pushing, the upright portion 29 of the mouth portion 27 of the bottle 2 gets over the retaining protrusions 151 and 152 and is deeply fitted to the fitting recess 15 of the bottle holder 1. At this time, when either the bottle 2 or the bottle holder 1 is bent, the engaging protrusions 221,231 on the outer side surface are fitted into the engaging recesses 16 and 17 on the inner side wall of the bottle holder 1, and the bottle holder 1 The bottle 2 is fixed to the bottle 2.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), the fitting recess 15 of the bottle holder 1 is rotated so as to face the back surface side.

Here, when the refill cap and the cap for use are set differently, the bottle 2 is fitted into the bottle holder 1, after FIG. 6 (b) or FIG. 6 (c). , Remove the refill cap and replace it with the cap 3 for use.

<Removal>
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating the removal of the bottle from the bottle holder according to the first embodiment.

If the contents of the bottle 2 are lost or you want to replace the type of bottle 2 that is fitted to the bottle holder 1 and placed, in order to replace it with another bottle, first of all, it is currently installed. It is necessary to remove the bottle 2 from the bottle holder 1.

When removing, as shown in FIG. 7, hold both sides of the bottle holder 1 with the front surface 25 of the bottle 2 facing forward, and push the center of the front surface 25 of the bottle 2 backward with your thumb to remove the bottle holder 1. The fitting with the bottle 2 is released, and the bottle 2 comes off from the bottle holder 1.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the present embodiment, the bottle 2 is loaded by applying a force to the bottle holder 1 in the same direction as or opposite to the opening direction of the fitting recess 15. Detachment can be easily realized.

On the contrary, if a lateral force is not intentionally applied to the fitting recess 15, even if the bottle holder 1 to which the bottle 2 is fitted is lifted, tilted, or the cap 3 is rotated, the bottle 2 will remain. The attached state can be maintained with respect to the bottle holder 1 without coming off.

Here, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, the second engaging portion provided on the outer surface of the side surfaces 22 and 23 of the bottle 2 is a strip-shaped convex portion, and is inside the side walls 12 and 13 of the bottle holder 1. Although the first engaging portion provided on the side surface is an example of a groove-shaped concave portion, the concave portion and the convex portion may be reversed. That is, the second engaging portion provided on the outer surface of the side surfaces 22 and 23 of the bottle 2 is a groove-shaped recess, and the first engagement portion provided on the inner side surface of the side walls 12 and 13 of the bottle holder 1. The joint portion may be a strip-shaped convex portion.

<Bottle set>
FIG. 8 is a diagram of a bottle set in which a plurality of bottles with holders of the first embodiment are combined. Although the above has described an example in which the bottle 4 with a holder, which is a combination of the bottle holder 1 and the bottle 2, is used alone, a plurality of sets of bottles with a holder may be set. In that case, the bottles 4α, 4β, and 4γ with holders included in the bottle set 100 may be different in size.

For example, for a specific brand, we recommend using "line use" such as makeup remover, facial cleanser, lotion, milky lotion, beauty essence, etc., with cosmetics that can exert synergistic effects when used in combination under a unified concept. May have been done.

The bottle set 100 as shown in FIG. 8 may be set, for example, as a set for such line use. Here, for example, the amount of lotion and beauty essence used at one time may be different. In such a case, the sizes of the bottles 2α, 2β, and 2γ to be filled differ depending on the contents.

As shown in FIG. 8, in order to combine bottles 2α, 2β, and 2γ having different sizes, even if the bottles with holders 4α, 4β, and 4γ have different sizes, the bottle holders 1α, 1β, and 1γ have the same color. If they are made of the same material, the bottle set 100 can give a sense of unity.

Therefore, when such bottle sets are arranged side by side in a washroom, a bathroom, or the like, a sense of unity can be obtained, and the space can be made to look like a space with excellent design not only for beauty purposes but also as an interior. The bottle set 100 may include a bottle holder of the same size.

In the above, the example of cosmetics has been described, but the same applies when the contents are detergents and seasonings. By giving a sense of unity to such bottle holders 1α, 1β, 1γ, the bottle set 100 can be unified in a space where the bottle set 100 is arranged, for example, in a living room, an open storage shelf, a kitchen, or the like. It can look like a well-designed interior.

<Second Embodiment>
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a part of the bottle holder and the bottle mouth portion according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

In the above example, the fitting recess 15 on the upper surface of the bottle holder has a semicircular shape, but the fitting recess may be angular. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the fitting recess 15A of the top wall 11A of the bottle holder 1A is cut out in a U-shape (channel cross-sectional type).

As shown in FIG. 9, the bottle 2A that engages with the fitting recess 15A having such a shape has a rectangular shape in the upright portion 29A. Further, a rectangular collar portion 290 is provided at the boundary between the upright portion 29A and the upper end engaging portion 28. Also in this embodiment, when the cap 3A engages with the mouth portion 27A, the cap 3A engages only with the upper end engaging portion (screw engaging portion) 28 of the mouth portion 27A, and the cap 3A is an upright portion. It does not overlap with 29A.

In the present embodiment, at the time of engagement, the collar portion 290 of the bottle 2A is caught on the top wall 11A, and at the same time, the shoulder portion 21 and the collar portion 290 are the tops around the fitting recess 15A of the bottle holder 1A. The wall 11A is sandwiched from above and below. As a result, the position of the upright portion 29A with respect to the top wall 11A is firmly fixed even in the vertical direction, and the bottle 2A can be more reliably fixed to the bottle holder 1A.

In this configuration, the rectangular upright portion 29A of the mouth portion 27A of the bottle 2A and the U-shaped fitting recess 15A of the bottle holder 1A have corners, so that their rotation is restricted from each other. Therefore, in the engagement between the upright portion 29A having a rectangular cross section and the fitting recess 15A having a rectangular cross section according to the present embodiment, the three sides are in contact with each other and the rotation is restricted, so that the rotation of the bottle 2A with respect to the bottle holder 1A The regulation effect is larger than the rotation regulation effect by the left and right convex portions and concave portions.

Then, in the bottle 4A with a holder of the present embodiment, in addition to the engagement between the engaging protrusions 221,231 on the side surface side and the engaging recesses 16 and 17, the standing portion 29A and the fitting recess 15A are also fitted. Rotation is regulated. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the cap 3 is rotated with respect to the bottle holder 1A, there is almost no concern that the bottle 2A will rotate, and the cap 3 can be more easily rotated with respect to the mouth portion 27A with a light force. Can be opened and closed.

In the first and second embodiments described above, the left and right engaging portions of the bottle and the bottle holder are shown as an example of a convex portion and a concave portion extending vertically, but other shapes may be used. Hereinafter, embodiments in which the engaging portions have different shapes will be described.

<Third Embodiment>
