Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To be able to grasp at a glance the position of the liquid surface when using plastic bottles. [Constitution] A plastic bottle is provided with a forward graduation and / or a reverse graduation, and a float integrated with a surface film that floats and spreads on a liquid is provided below the inner stopper so as to be opened and closed.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This device is designed so that the position of the liquid surface when using a PET bottle can be grasped at a glance.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, PET bottles such as 1 liter, 1.5 liter, and 2 liter are often used as large beverages, but there is no scale on these, and it is clear how long they have been used or how much they have been consumed. At present, it is difficult and depends on the amount of division. In addition, in the water bottles, which have been very popular recently, it is difficult to determine the position of the liquid surface because the liquid is transparent.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Furthermore, due to the recent boom of pets, water bottles that can fix water bottles upside down are being used, and it is necessary to visually grasp the position of the liquid surface in the upside-down state. The inventor of the present application has produced as a result of research a scaled PET bottle which can easily grasp the position of the liquid surface and can be used for various types of PET bottles.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a PET bottle whose liquid surface position can be easily grasped regardless of whether the PET bottle is used above or below.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the float-equipped PET bottle of the present invention has a graduated scale and / or a reverse scale on the pet bottle, which is integrated with the surface film that floats on the liquid. The gist is that it is provided under the inner plug so that it can be pressed and opened.

Here, the scale attached to the PET bottle may be directly attached to the PET bottle itself, or may be printed on a label or the like and attached to the PET bottle. The material of the surface film may be a film, a thread, or any material that floats and spreads on the liquid and can be colored, and may have any size and shape. However, the size is preferably about the inner diameter of the PET bottle in relation to the scale attached to the PET bottle. This is because the edge of the surface film comes into contact with the graduation when it spreads on the liquid, and the state just indicates the graduation. In addition, it is preferable that the surface film is colored so that the liquid surface can be clearly seen.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the float-equipped PET bottle of the present invention, since the PET bottle is provided with the forward graduation and / or the reverse graduation, the remaining liquid amount can be read regardless of the orientation of the PET bottle in the vertical direction. Further, in the present invention, since the float integrated with the surface film that floats on the liquid is installed under the inner stopper so that it can be pressed and opened, the PET bottle cap is removed when the PET bottle is used, and the inner stopper inside the cap is removed. It can be easily dropped into the float by using your finger. And because the surface film that floats and spreads on the liquid is integrated with the float, the float that drops into the liquid floats while the surface film spreads, and when it reaches the liquid surface, the liquid surface It spreads out completely and comes into contact with the scale.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. Example 1 FIG. 1 is a partially enlarged explanatory view of a plastic bottle with a float in the forward direction. FIG. 2 is a view showing a usage state of the plastic bottle with a float in the reverse direction. In the figure, 1 is a PET bottle, 2 is an inner plug provided at the mouth of the PET bottle, 3 is a float, 4 is a surface film, 5 is a forward scale, 6 is a reverse scale, 7 is a liquid level, and 8 is water supply. It is a container.

The surface film 4 is a thin polyethylene film and is colored with emerald green. The shape when expanded is a circle with a radius of 30 mm to 35 mm. The float 3 is a floating inner cavity made of the same material as the plastic bottle 1. In addition, a normal scale 5 and a reverse scale 6 are formed on the surface of the plastic bottle 1. In the case of such a PET bottle with a float, first, in the state before opening, the forward scale 5 formed on the PET bottle makes it easy to see how much the capacity of the bottle is. Next, as shown in FIG. 2, after opening, when the inner stopper is pressed with a finger to drop it into the liquid and the PET bottle is used upside down in the water supply device 8 or the like, the reverse scale 6 shown by the surface film 4 is used. The current liquid amount can be determined at a glance by reading the value of. This is also the case when the PET bottle is opened and then used in the forward direction, and in this case, it depends on the forward scale 5.

Embodiment 2 Although not shown, in this embodiment, the surface film 4 in Embodiment 1 is bundled into a thin thread shape so that it spreads radially when floating on the liquid surface. As described above, the representative embodiment has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the shape of the surface film and the shape of the float for facilitating the reading of the scale float and spread on the liquid surface. Any shape may be used as long as it floats on the liquid surface.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the PET bottle is provided with the forward graduation and / or the reverse graduation, the residual liquid amount can be read regardless of the orientation of the PET bottle. Further, in the present invention, since the float integrated with the surface film that floats on the liquid is installed under the inner stopper so that it can be pressed and opened, the PET bottle cap is removed when the PET bottle is used, and the inner stopper inside the cap is removed. It can be easily dropped into the float by using your finger. And because the surface film that floats and spreads on the liquid is integrated with the float, the float that has dropped into the liquid spreads completely over the entire liquid surface and comes into contact with the scale. The liquid volume can be determined at a glance.
