Description

The present invention relates to a transparent bottle for beverages having a light emitter attached to the bottom.

Plastic bottles have become established in daily life as daily necessities. Each manufacturer will devise the shape of the bottle and differentiate it from competing products by designing the label around the bottle. In addition, plastic bottles are transparent and can be enjoyed as decorative items because of the fact that the filled liquid can be seen from the outside and can be carried in a bag from the lightness of the container itself. Technology exists.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a “pet bottle light emitter” composed of a light emitting unit attached to a concave bottom of a plastic bottle.
Also, in Patent Document 2, a cut-out window shaped according to the product is made on a label such as mineral water and juice in a transparent container, and the label surface has a conventional design and faces the window on the back side of the label. A “label with a window” displaying a picture or a character with a different design is disclosed.

Utility Model Registration No. 3118097 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-231786

  However, the light emitting unit constituting the “PET bottle light emitter” described in Patent Document 1 includes a substrate, an LED, a battery that emits the LED, and a current-carrying unit, and the LED blinks when the switch is pressed. . For this reason, after the use is completed, it is not easy to dispose of the entire light emitter as garbage, and it is time consuming because the electronic components such as the LED and the plastic bottle must be separated and discarded. In addition, the use of electronic parts such as LEDs and substrates that contain rare metals in a kind of consumables such as “PET bottle light emitters” is not only in high production cost but also in keeping with the current trend of environmental considerations.

  On the other hand, the “label with window” described in Patent Document 2 is a passive way of enjoying the environment only by the external environment because the pattern on the back side of the label can be seen from the window for the first time by an external light source. End up. In indoor events where the light and darkness are actively controlled, the organizers cannot use it flexibly, and it is difficult for customers to enjoy themselves on the spot.

  In view of the above problems, the present invention has an object to provide a plastic bottle provided with a luminous body that functions as a light source for illuminating a beverage inside the plastic bottle and can be discarded as general garbage without being separated after use. To do.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention
It is a transparent bottle for beverages with a light emitter on the bottom,
The luminous body is sealed inside the luminous body filled with the first liquid and a fragile sealed case containing the second liquid,
When the outer part of the luminous body is pushed, the sealed case is broken and the second liquid flows out,
While light is emitted by a chemical reaction caused by mixing the first liquid and the second liquid,
A label is formed on the outer periphery of the bottle,
Characters and designs having various transmittances and colors are drawn on the surface of the label, and a visual effect is obtained by using light emitted from the light emitter.
In addition to patterns and figures, pictures include pictures and photos.
The bottle may be a glass or plastic bottle, but is preferably a plastic bottle.

  In order to achieve the above object, the label has characters and designs having various transmittances and colors on the back side in addition to the characters and designs drawn on the front surface, and utilizes light emitted from the light emitter. The visual effect may be obtained for the first time.

  When two types of liquid inside the illuminant are mixed, light is emitted and light is irradiated upward from the bottom of the bottle, so that the entire bottle appears to emit light, making it a simple bottled beverage. It also functions as an event venue and indoor accessories.

It is a figure which shows the whole plastic bottle of 1st Embodiment. It is a partial cross section front view of the light-emitting body of 1st Embodiment.

<< First Embodiment >>
Hereinafter, a plastic bottle according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
This embodiment corresponds to the device according to claim 1.

The plastic bottle 1 according to the present embodiment includes a bottle body 2, a detachable cap 3, a beverage 4 filled inside, a label 5, and a light emitter 6.
The PET bottle 1 is not different from a commercially available PET bottle with a drink except that the light emitter 6 is attached to the bottom.
The bottle body 2 and the beverage 4 may be either colorless or colored as long as they are transparent. Further, if the internal light can be visually recognized, it may be translucent.
In FIG. 1, the label 5 is wound in a strip shape around the outer central portion of the bottle main body 2, but it may be one that covers almost the entire outside of the bottle main body 2 (see FIG. 5). In this example, the label 5 is drawn with the letters “green tea”, but is not limited to letters, and may include a pattern such as a picture or a photograph.

Next, the light emitter 6 will be described with reference to FIG. The light emitter 6 constitutes a container portion by a curved liquid container body 7 that matches the shape of the bottom surface of the bottle body 2 and an attachment plate 8 that seals the liquid container body 7. The container portion is filled with a first liquid 9 and an arbitrary number of sealed cases 10, and the sealed case 10 is filled with a second liquid 11.
The mounting plate 8 is larger than the opening of the liquid container body 7 and has a function of adhering to the plastic bottle body 2. Specifically, the adhesive 12 is applied to the portion surrounding the opening of the liquid container body 7 on the surface of the mounting plate 8, and the release paper 13 is stuck thereon. In order to attach and fix the light emitter 6 to the bottle body 2, it is only necessary to remove the release paper 13 attached to the attachment plate 8 and attach the exposed portion of the adhesive 12 to the bottom of the bottle body 2.

The liquid container body 7 is preferably made of a transparent, flexible and tough resin.
The mounting plate 8 is desirably a resin that is more flexible than the resin used for the liquid container body 7. This is because, as shown in FIG. 3, in order to apply an external force to the mounting plate 8 of the light emitter 6 from the direction of the arrow R and break the sealed case 10 inside the light emitter 6, the resin must be a flexible resin. Moreover, it is desirable that the inner surface of the mounting plate 8 is processed to reflect light, such as aluminum vapor deposition. This is because the amount of light on the PET bottle side is increased by reflecting light.
The sealed case 10 is preferably made of glass or resin that can be easily broken or torn when the mounting plate 8 is pressed.
The first liquid 9 and the second liquid 11 may be any substance that emits light when mixed and has been confirmed to be safe. When the sealed case 10 is broken, the second liquid 11 flows out and mixes with the first liquid 9 to cause a chemical reaction and emit light. It continues to emit light until the chemical reaction is completed.
Since it is well known that two types of liquids emit light by chemical reaction, details are omitted. In addition, since various colors can be generated depending on the combination of liquids, the combination of liquids may be selected so that various bright colors can be enjoyed in consideration of the coloring or transmittance of the bottle body 2 or the beverage 4.
The number of the sealed cases 10 may be any number as long as it is one or more, and the number may be determined in consideration of the amount of the liquid 11 that enters the single case 10.

  The outer shape of the liquid container body 7 preferably matches the shape of the bottom of the plastic bottle body 2 as shown in FIG. If they do not match, there is a gap between the bottle body 2 and the light emitter 6, and the light generated by the chemical reaction of the liquid does not irradiate the inside of the bottle body 2 efficiently.

As shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that a character “green tea” is written on the label 5 and the character is surrounded by a rectangle represented by a broken line. In this case, when the light emitter 6 emits light, light is emitted upward from the bottom of the bottle body 2, so that a visual effect is produced as if the beverage 4 and the entire bottle body 2 emit light from the outside. Light is also transmitted from the surface of the label 5 according to the transmittance.
Here, it is assumed that the transmittance decreases in the order of the rectangular portion A → the background portion B → the character (“green tea”) portion C. The background portion B is a portion obtained by removing the rectangular portion A including the characters “green tea” from the label 5. At this time, the luminance increases in the order of the character portion C → background portion B → rectangular portion A. If the transmittance or color of the surface of the label 5 is changed little by little, the transmission of the light irradiating the beverage 4 and the inside of the bottle body 2 will differ depending on the location of the label 5, resulting in a more impressive visual effect. Can occur.

If the illumination is turned off at indoor or night event venues such as a concert venue, and the audience moves the pet bottles 1 of the present embodiment to emit light, move back and forth, and swing around, the atmosphere of the event can be raised.

FIG. 5 shows a modification of the first embodiment. Most of the bottle main body 2 is covered with a label 5 having a transmittance close to 0%. The letter “X” is drawn on the label 5 with a transmittance close to 100%. If the illuminant 6 does not emit light, the letter “X” is not particularly decorative even if it can be seen. However, if light is emitted and light is irradiated from the bottom to the inside of the PET bottle, only the letter “X” will shine and the other part will block the light, so the letter “X” will appear. Produces visual effects. There is no doubt that the audience will be pleased if the plastic bottle 1 with a high transparency of the name of the singer who plays the main role of the concert is given to the audience at the concert venue instead of the letter “X”.
In particular, if the lighting of the venue is turned off so that the name of the singer looks shining, the concert will be a great excitement for the audience and it will contribute to the promotion of bottled beverages in the venue.

<< Second Embodiment >>
The second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. This embodiment corresponds to the device according to claim 2.
As in the first embodiment, the surface of the label wound around the bottle body is appropriately drawn with characters and designs with various transmittances and colors. However, in this embodiment, the label is characterized in that characters or designs having different transmittances and colors from the surface are drawn on the back side in addition to the characters and designs on the surface.

For example, a circular figure D is drawn on the surface of the label shown on the left side of FIG. 6, and both the circular portion D and the background portion E can be visually recognized under natural light.
On the other hand, a single figure surrounded by a closed curve is drawn on the back surface of the label shown on the right side of FIG. 6, and the inside G of the closed curve F represented by a broken line is opaque, that is, does not transmit light, and the other part H is Translucent, i.e. light is passed if there is a light source. Before the light-emitting body 6 emits light, a circular portion D can be seen as shown in FIG. 7, but the inner portion G surrounded by the broken line F on the back side of the label cannot be clearly seen. However, when light is emitted and the inside of the plastic bottle is irradiated, the portion G surrounded by the broken line F blocks the light, so that the figure G can be visually recognized by the light from the light emitter 6.
This interestingness and unexpectedness is extremely effective as a decoration means and an advertising means.

For example, in an event in which a certain singer appears, a beverage in a plastic bottle with a photograph of the singer printed on the label surface is distributed. If you push the bottom to make it glow, it will be difficult to see the photo on the front side, and if you can see the name of the singer printed on the back side but not visible on the front side, not only this plastic bottle but also the memory of the event Will remain.

As in the above embodiment, a bottle is a typical bottle, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a bottle made of glass or the like may be used as long as it is transparent.
In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the beverage is filled therein, but the decorative effect by light can be enjoyed even if the beverage is not contained. This is because, even after having finished drinking, while the two types of liquids inside the luminous body 6 undergo a chemical reaction, the entire bottle appears as if it is emitting light.
Further, the method of fixing the light emitter to the bottom surface of the bottle main body shown in the above embodiment is merely an example. Furthermore, the luminous body may be already attached when the plastic bottle is distributed, but the luminous body may be distributed as a so-called bonus of the plastic bottle, and each user may attach the luminous body according to their preference.

Demand for PET bottle beverages is further increased by using PET bottle beverages, which are pervasive throughout our daily living activities, both indoors and outdoors, as an interesting light source, or as an item that excites various events. Can be increased.
