Description

The present invention relates to a bottle cover for accommodating commercially available PET bottles filled with beverages such as tea, water, juice, etc.

BACKGROUND ART PET bottles filled with beverages such as tea, water, juice, etc. have been on sale for some time now.
In recent years, due to the tendency for outside temperatures to rise, it has become common practice to carry plastic bottles filled with beverages as a measure against heatstroke.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a PET bottle storage bag that allows a PET bottle to be carried in a neatly stored state and also allows for hygienic drinking of beverages.

Utility model registration No. 3091663

However, in the above-mentioned PET bottle storage bag, the bag (mainly the bag) that houses the PET bottle is made of flexible fabric lined with an insulating material, but there is still room for improvement in its cold and heat retention properties. There was room.
In addition, the height of the storage bag can be changed by extending the lower part of the bag downward, but depending on the capacity of the PET bottle, for example, the size of the PET bottle may vary depending on the internal space of the bag. was too small and a gap was formed, so there was room for improvement in terms of wobbling and appearance. In particular, in recent years, PET bottles with different capacities of the same degree (for example, 500 mL and 600 mL) have been sold instead of a single capacity, and the above problem has become more pronounced.

The present invention was devised in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a bottle cover that has excellent cold and heat retention properties, good appearance, and is easy to use.

A bottle cover according to the present invention that meets the above object is a bottle cover that is removably attached to a bottle having a drinking spout on the upper side, and includes:
The cover body is made of a stretchable material with fabric attached to the outer surface of a closed-cell rubber sheet.
The cover body is
a storage section with an open top that covers the body and bottom of the bottle;
and a latching means that is attached to the upper end of the storage part and can be latched to the base of the drinking spout.

In the bottle cover according to the present invention, the latching means includes first and second latching parts, and the first and second latching parts are configured to center the bottle accommodated in the storage part. It is preferable that they be arranged facing each other.

In the bottle cover according to the present invention, it is preferable that another fabric is also attached to the inner surface of the closed cell rubber sheet.

In the bottle cover according to the present invention, it is preferable that the bottle is a plastic bottle filled with a beverage.

The bottle cover according to the present invention has excellent cold and heat retention properties because the cover body is made of a stretchable material with fabric attached to the outer surface of a closed-cell rubber sheet. In addition, since it is stretchable, the cover body fits tightly along the shape (external shape) of the bottle, and the bottle does not wobble within the cover body, giving it a good appearance.
Furthermore, since the cover body has a storage section with an open top that covers the body and bottom of the bottle, and a hooking means attached to the upper end of the storage section, it is possible to hang the bottle while the bottle is stored in the storage section. Since the stop means can be hooked to the base of the drinking spout, the cover body can be easily attached to the bottle, making it easy to use.

The cover is detachably attached to a provided plastic bottle (an example of a bottle) 12, and has excellent cold and heat retention properties, good appearance, and ease of use.
This will be explained in detail below.

The PET bottle 12 is made of, for example, synthetic resin (plastic) or all-bio (plant-derived raw material), and includes, from the bottom, a bottom portion 13, a body portion 14, a shoulder portion 15, a spout portion 11, and a spout portion 11. This is a conventionally known container configured with a cap 16 that is attached to the container, and has a square prism shape, but it may also have a cylindrical shape or a polygonal prism shape.
The bottle cover 10 has a cover main body 17, and the cover main body 17 is integrally attached to a storage section 18 with an open top that covers the bottom section 13 and body section 14 of the PET bottle 12, and the upper end of the storage section 18. , has a latching means 19 that can be latched to the base of the spout 11 (base: the boundary between the spout 11 and the shoulder 15).

The latching means 19 is composed of a first latching part 20 and a second latching part 21, and the first latching part 20 and the second latching part 21 are arranged as shown in the left diagram of FIGS. 2 and 3. , are arranged opposite to each other with the plastic bottle 12 housed in the storage section 18 at the center. Note that the first hooking portion 20 is integrally attached to the upper end of the storage portion 18 located on the front side of the bottle cover 10, and the second hooking portion 21 is attached on the back side of the bottle cover 10. It is integrally attached to the upper end of the storage section 18 located at.
Circular through holes 22 and 23 through which the cap 16 can be inserted are formed in the first and second hooking parts 20 and 21, respectively. In use, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 3B, the second hook 21 overlaps the first hook 20, so the left view of FIGS. In the state shown before attachment, the length of the first hook 20 protruding from the storage section 18 is made shorter than the second hook 21 so that they overlap easily, and the second hook 21 makes it easy to use.

The storage portion 18 and the hooking means 19 of the cover body 17 each include a bottom sheet piece 24, a left sheet piece (one side sheet piece) 25, and a right sheet piece (other side sheet piece) 26, which are examples of sheet pieces. It is made up of. Specifically, the bottom sheet piece 24 covers the bottom 13 of the PET bottle 12 (can be tightly attached), and the left sheet piece 25 covers the left half of the body 14 of the PET bottle 12 (can be tightly attached). ), and the right sheet piece 26 covers (can be brought into close contact with) the right half of the body 14 and a part of the shoulder 15 of the plastic bottle 12. That is, the storage section 18 is composed of the bottom sheet piece 24 , the left sheet piece 25 , and the portion of the right sheet piece 26 excluding the portion covering the shoulder portion 15 , and the latching means 19 is configured to cover the shoulder portion 15 of the right sheet piece 26 . It consists of a part that covers part 15.

The bottom sheet piece 24 is circular (for example, it may be polygonal, oval, etc.), and the lower ends of the left sheet piece 25 and the right sheet piece 26 are connected to the outer periphery of the bottom sheet piece 24, and the left sheet piece 25 and the right sheet piece 26, the opposing sides are connected to each other.
The cover body 17 is a stretchable two-layer structure (not shown) in which a synthetic fiber outer sheet (fabric) is attached to the outer surface of a rubber sheet (inner sheet, rubber sheet) having closed cells. It is made of material with. Note that it is preferable that another fabric is adhered to the inner surface of the rubber sheet as well, and the material of the other fabric may be the same as that of the outer sheet made of synthetic fibers, or may be a different material.
Here, the thickness of the inner sheet is preferably about 1.5 to 10 mm (preferably 6 mm or less, here about 3 mm), and the thickness of the outer sheet is preferably about 0.3 to 2 mm, but is not limited to this. do not have.

The rubber sheet having closed cells as described above can ensure not only cold and heat retention properties but also waterproof properties (can cope with dew condensation, etc.). As this rubber sheet, a chloroprene rubber foam sheet is preferably used, but it is not limited to this, and other rubbers such as styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and nitrile rubber (NBR) may also be used. good.
Furthermore, the outer sheet can regulate the elongation of the rubber sheet to improve durability and shape stability, and can also be decorated. As such an outer sheet, for example, a jersey fabric formed of synthetic fibers such as polyamide fibers, polyester fibers, polypropylene hollow fibers, or polyethylene fibers is suitably used, but the outer sheet is not limited thereto. In particular, by using jersey fabric made of fibers with excellent water repellency such as polyethylene fibers, it is easier to maintain the surface dry state, and it is also easier to dry after washing. By using the above jersey fabric, it is possible to prevent condensation from forming on the outer surface of the PET bottle.)

The bottom sheet piece 24, left sheet piece 25, and right sheet piece 26 described above are joined by adhesive and stitching (scoop stitching with thread) in order to ensure waterproofness and strength.
Specifically, using a rubber adhesive, the butt portions of the rubber sheets of the bottom sheet piece 24, left sheet piece 25, and right sheet piece 26 are joined facing each other, and a sufficient strength is applied from above. Using a synthetic resin thread (for example, nylon, etc.) having It's not something you can do. In addition, it is preferable that the suturing is carried out so that the thread passes through the outer half of the thickness of the rubber sheet, and no threading holes are provided in the inner half, thereby ensuring waterproofness and Although the strength of the joint portion can be ensured, there is no particular limitation.
In particular, the design can be improved by using the above-mentioned threads colored with the same color or different colors.

A carabiner 28 is attached to the second hook part 21 on the back side of the bottle cover 10 via an attachment means 27. Thereby, the bottle cover 10 containing the plastic bottle 12 can be attached to an object such as a bag or a belt, and can be easily carried. In addition, the attachment position of the attachment means 27 may be the upper part (upper side) of the storage part 18. Further, as long as the bottle cover 10 can be attached to an object such as a bag or a belt, the carabiner 28 is not limited to the carabiner 28, and for example, a hook (O-shaped hook or D-shaped hook) can be used. It may be stored directly in a bag or the like without providing the attachment means 27 or the carabiner 28.
Note that semicircular notches 29 are formed on both sides of the second hooking portion 21 in the width direction and on the forward side of the through hole 23 . This allows the through hole 23 to easily deform into a vertically elongated shape in the length direction of the second hook 21 when the second hook 21 is hooked onto the base of the mouth drinking portion 11 .

Next, a method of using the bottle cover 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

Next, the user grasps and pulls the tip side (upper side) of the first latch part 20 located on the front side of the bottle cover 10, inserts the cap 16 into the through hole 22, and locks the first latch part 20. The part 20 is hooked to the base of the drinking spout part 11 (FIGS. 2 and 3).
Finally, the user grasps and pulls the tip side (upper side) of the second latch part 21 located on the back side of the bottle cover 10, inserts the cap 16 into the through hole 23, and locks the second latch part 21. The second hook part 21 is hooked to the base of the drinking spout part 11 so that the second hook part 21 overlaps the first hook part 20 (see the right view of FIGS. 2 and 3).

In use, the carabiner 28 is attached to an object such as a bag or belt, and the plastic bottle 12 with the bottle cover 10 attached is carried. When drinking the beverage in the plastic bottle 12, the carabiner 28 is removed, the cap 16 is turned with the bottle cover 10 attached to open the spout 11, and the beverage is drunk. On the other hand, after drinking the beverage, the cap 16 is attached to the drinking spout 11, and the cap 16 is attached to an object such as a bag or a belt using a carabiner 28.
In this way, the bottle cover 10 of the present invention is convenient to use since there is no need to remove the bottle cover 10 from the plastic bottle 12 when drinking a beverage.
In addition, after the beverage in the plastic bottle 12 runs out, the bottle cover 10 is removed from the plastic bottle 12 in the reverse order of the above-described mounting procedure.

Then, the plastic bottle 12 is pulled out from the storage section 18.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to one embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the configuration described in the embodiment described above, and the present invention is not limited to the configuration described in the above-described embodiment. It also includes other embodiments and modifications that can be considered within the scope of the above. For example, a case where the bottle cover of the present invention is constructed by combining some or all of the above-described embodiments and modifications is also within the scope of the present invention.
In the above embodiment, a case where the bottle cover is used for a PET bottle has been described, but the bottle cover is not particularly limited as long as it has a drinking spout that projects on the upper side. Alternatively, a bottle made of metal (aluminum alloy, steel, etc.) may be used.
In addition, the size of the bottle that can be accommodated by the bottle cover is usually about 500 mL, but since the cover body of the bottle cover of the present invention is elastic, it can be used for bottles of slightly different sizes (for example, about 600 mL). can also be handled. The bottle size that the bottle cover can accommodate is not particularly limited, and includes, for example, sizes that can accommodate around 280 mL and 350 mL, sizes that can accommodate 900 mL and 1 L, 1.5 L, It is also possible to make the size compatible with 2L and the like.

In the embodiment described above, the cover body is constructed of three separate sheet pieces: the bottom sheet piece, the left sheet piece, and the right sheet piece. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, it can be composed of one partially connected sheet piece (expanded sheet of the cover main body) or two separated sheet pieces. For example, it may be constructed of two separate sheet pieces: a body sheet piece in which the left sheet piece and the right sheet piece are integrated, and a bottom sheet piece. Note that, as mentioned above, the sheet piece constituting the hanging means is the part that is pinched and pulled with fingers when attaching the bottle cover to a PET bottle, so from the viewpoint of its strength, it is not suitable for forming the storage section. It is preferable that the sheet piece is not separated from the sheet piece (adhered to it) but is integrated into the sheet piece.
Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the case where the hanging means is constituted by two hanging parts, the first and second hanging parts, is not particularly limited. It may be composed of a stop portion, or may be composed of three or four hook portions. In addition, when comprising a plurality of hanging parts, it is preferable that the plurality of hanging parts are arranged at equal angular positions with the bottle placed in the storage part as the center.
