Description

  The present invention relates to a bottle cooler that can pour into a glass or the like while keeping a bottle containing a drink such as beer or wine in a cold state.

The taste of alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine and soft drinks changes slightly depending on the temperature, so when pouring into a glass etc., the temperature of the bottle rises due to the body temperature of the finger holding the bottle, and the taste of the beverage changes Ingenuity to prevent is being done.
Usually, a method of winding a cloth cloth around the part of the bottle that is gripped by hand is often used, but it is troublesome to wind it neatly. .
On the other hand, Patent Document 1 below proposes a cold insulator that is a cylindrical “simple hihihi pack” that is used over a beer bottle. With this cold insulator, the effect of heat insulation from the finger can be obtained to a certain extent when grasped. Moreover, since there is no bottom, there is also an advantage that the bottle can be easily attached and detached from the top while the bottle is placed.

Registered Utility Model No. 3153525

  However, the cold insulator described in Patent Document 1 has a difficulty in that it cannot be sufficiently cooled because the cylindrical bottom surface is open. Furthermore, since there is no bottom, it is easy to attach and detach the bottle. On the other hand, when pouring, if the bottom is not pressed with one hand, the bottle may slip and fall.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a bottle cooler that can be poured with one hand without holding the bottom and that can easily be attached to and detached from the bottle and does not propagate the body temperature of the hand to the bottle. To do.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the bottle cooler of the present invention, in the invention according to claim 1, the bottom part and the side part of the bottle are exposed by exposing at least the throttle part forming the throttle port at the top of the bottle. A cylindrical bottomed bottle-type bottle cooler that can be covered and stored.
The bottle cooler has a side wall with a slightly larger inner diameter than the outer periphery of the side part of the bottle, a flexible heat insulating material having a constant layer thickness that can insulate the side part and the bottom part, and a bottom part and a side part of the heat insulating material. An elastic hard coating material with a thin and constant layer thickness covering the outer periphery of the bottle, and an inner peripheral surface provided around the inner surface near the bottom of the heat insulating material is formed to have an inner diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the bottle. And a bottle-adhesive band having a resilience that enables a narrow decompression space to be formed between the bottom of the heat insulating material and the bottom of the bottle, and an intake / exhaust control means for controlling the flow of air into and out of the decompression space. .

The suction / exhaust control means includes: an exhaust means that allows the compressed internal air to be discharged to the outside when the decompression space is reduced when storing the bottle; and the bottle does not fall out when the bottle is inverted. as provided with sealing means to stop ingress of air to reduce the pressure the reduced pressure space, and opening means for enabling release the sealing of the vacuum space so Nukidaseru the bottle.

Then, the exhaust means of the intake and exhaust control means, sealing means and opening means are a single cut or symmetry with a symmetry longer than half the entire length on the boundary between the side at the outer periphery of the bottom of the hard coating material 2 Two cuts are provided, and the entire sides of the hard coating and heat insulating material are deformed from a perfect circular shape to an elliptical shape by pressing the fingers from both sides of the hard coating material. The air passage can be generated in the bulging portion.

Since the bottle cooler of the present invention is covered with the heat insulating material, the body temperature of the touched hand is not propagated to the stored bottle, and the bottle temperature can be prevented from rapidly increasing even at a high outside air temperature.
In addition, when pouring the beverage in a cup or the like, it is possible to pour it by simply lifting it with one hand without holding the bottom while keeping the bottle in the bottomed bottle cooler. Even if the peripheral surface is in a state where a bottle contact band having an inner diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter W of the bottle is held and the bottle is inverted by the sealing means in the suction / discharge control means, air does not fall out because air enters the decompression space. .
When the bottle is stored, the bottle close band near the bottom is inserted without resistance, and if it is pushed as it is, air is exhausted from the decompression space by the exhaust means in the suction / discharge control means and penetrates the bottle close band. Can be easily put to the bottom. Also, when the bottle is pulled out, outside air enters the decompressed space by the opening means in the suction / exhaust control means and receives a resistance with a small bottle contact band, but the decompressed space in the decompressed space is eliminated and the bottle can be easily pulled out. It becomes.

And since one notch or two symmetrical incisions having a length exceeding the entire circumference is provided at the boundary with the side part at the outer periphery of the bottom part of the hard coating material, the side part of the hard coating material By pressing with fingers from both sides, the entire sides of the hard covering and heat insulating material are greatly deformed, a part of the swelled bottle adhering band is separated from the surface of the bottle, an air passage is opened, and the bottle is opened. The inside of the decompression space which can be accommodated communicates with the outside, and air can freely enter and exit from there.
Thus, the case for accommodating the bottle, when withdrawn, the hard coating material also from the opposite side when the removable if brought into deformed by pressing strongly with a finger without pressing easily performed and strongly by inversion vacuum space S It is possible to maintain the state in which the bottle is accommodated without falling out of the bottle in a sealed state, and there is no fear that the bottle will fall out of the bottle cooler even if it is poured upside down.

  As described above, an easy-to-use bottle cooler has been realized in which the bottle can be easily put in and out of the bottle cooler and when the bottle is poured upside down, there is no risk that the bottle will fall out.

It is a vertical side view of the state which put the bin. It is each vertical side view of the state where (i) of another form has taken out the bin, and (b) is in the state of having put the bin. In addition, (a) in another form is a state in which the operation button is not pressed, and (b) is a vertical side view showing the main part in a state in which the operation button is pressed. It is each cross-sectional top view which shows the state which (a) of another form does not press with a finger | toe, and (b) shows the state deform | transformed by pushing with a finger | toe. FIG. 6 is a longitudinal side view showing a state where (a) in the form of FIG. 5 is not pressed with a finger and (b) is deformed by being pressed with a finger.

The form for implementing this invention is demonstrated below.
As shown in FIGS. 1C and 1D, the bottle cooler according to the present invention exposes the narrowed portion B3 or more forming the throttle port B4 at the top of the bin B to expose the bottom B1 and the side portion of the bin B. It is a cylindrical bottomed container-type bottle cooler that covers B2 and can be stored. That is, the entire lower portion including the bottom B1 of the cylindrical portion of the stored bin B is covered, but the upper portion is exposed and the bin B is stored.

As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1D, the bottle cooler has a side surface 2a having an inner diameter L slightly larger than the outer periphery W of the side B2 of the bin B, and the side 2a and the bottom 2b. A flexible heat insulating material 2 having a constant layer thickness capable of insulating heat, a thin elastic layered hard covering material 1 having a constant constant thickness covering the outer periphery of the bottom 1b and the side portion 1a of the heat insulating material 2, and the heat insulating material 2 The inner circumferential surface provided around the inner surface near the bottom 2b is formed to have an inner diameter R slightly smaller than the outer diameter W of the bin B, and the bin B is accommodated so that the bottom 1b of the heat insulating material 2 and the bottom B1 of the bin B are formed. It is comprised with the elastic | bind close_contact | adherence belt | band | zone 3 which has the elasticity which can form the narrow pressure reduction space S between, Furthermore, the bottom part 1b of the said heat insulating material 2 formed with the accommodated bin B, and the bottom part B1 of the said bin B Intake / exhaust control means X for controlling the flow of air into and out of the decompression space S partitioned by the bottle close-contact zone 3 Provided.
As the elastic hard covering material 1, a metal such as a thin steel material or hard plastic can be used, and as the heat insulating material 2, a foamed resin or rubber can be used.
In FIG. 1, (a) is a cross-sectional plan view showing a state where no bin is inserted, (B) is a vertical side view thereof, and (C) is a cross-sectional plan view showing a state where a bin is inserted. Yes, (d) is a longitudinal side view of the state.

  When the bottle B is stored, the suction / exhaust control means X includes an exhaust means for reducing the decompressed space S and discharging the pressurized internal air to the outside, and when the bottle is inverted, Sealing means for stopping the intrusion of air so that the air does not fall off, and reducing the pressure of the decompression space S, and opening means for releasing the sealing of the decompression space S so that the bottle can be extracted.

  The sealing means in the suction / exhaust control means X is such that the frictional resistance of the bottle adhesion band 3 and the bottle B with the weight of the total weight of the bottle B and the beverage in the decompression space S do not fall naturally even if they are inverted. The reduced pressure is obtained. For this reason, since it is better that the bottle contact band 3 has less residual air remaining in the gap, it is not preferable to form it in the upper part because the air amount increases due to the gap between the side B2 of the bin B, and further, In this case, it is preferable that the bottom B1 of the bin B does not have resistance in the middle before reaching the bottom 1b. Therefore, it is preferable to form a height close to the bottom 2b of the heat insulating material 2.

Various forms of the suction / exhaust control means X are possible.
For example, as shown in FIG. 1 (2) and FIG. 2, the exhaust means and the sealing means of the intake / exhaust control means X penetrate between the hard covering material 1 and the heat insulating material 2 to the bottom portions 1b and 2b and are opened internally. The ventilation path Y1 having the portion 4 includes an external opening 5 that opens to the outside, and the decompression space S formed between the bottle B and the housing B when being stored is always connected to the outside air through the ventilation path Y1. Forms are possible.
In this form, it is possible to seal the decompression space S by closing the external opening 5 with a finger.

Therefore, in this usage method, when the bin B is first stored, if the external opening 5 is inserted in an open state, the air in the decompression space S escapes from the ventilation path Y1, so that the resistance of the bin adhesion band 3 portion is Although there is lightly inserted to the bottom, the storage is completed. Then, when the bottle B is turned upside down in order to pour the beverage inside the cup, the external opening 5 is closed with a finger and the decompression space S is sealed and tilted. This prevents air from entering the decompression space S, so that the bottle B does not come out of the bottle cooler and can be poured in peace.
When the beverage is emptied and removed, if the external opening 5 is pulled open, the air in the decompression space S is sucked into the air passage Y1, so that the bottle contact zone 3 portion has resistance but is gently extracted. be able to.

Further, for example, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the exhaust means and the sealing means of the intake / exhaust control means X have openings 10 penetrating through the hard covering material 1 and the bottom portions 1b and 2b of the heat insulating material 2. And a check valve 6 that opens to the outside and closes to the inside.
In addition, (a) in FIG. 3 is a longitudinal side view showing a state where no bin is inserted, and (b) is a longitudinal side view showing a state where a bin is inserted.
In this embodiment, when the check valve 6 accommodates the bin B, the air inside is automatically pushed out from the decompression space S, and if it is to be removed, the air does not enter the decompression space S. It will not come out of the vessel.

  Therefore, when this form is applied to the form shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to house the bin B without resistance due to the decompression space S even when the external opening 5 is closed with a finger.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the opening / closing means of the suction / exhaust control means X passes through the bottle contact zone 3 from the inside of the decompression space S to the outside of the decompression space S. And an opening / closing valve 7b and an operation button 7a for opening / closing the opening / closing valve 7b may be provided in the ventilation path Y3. In addition, the code | symbol 7c in a figure is a button axis | shaft which connects the operation button 7a and the on-off valve 7b.
In this form of opening means, when the operation button 7a is pressed with a finger, the opening / closing valve 7b that pushes the opening / closing port 11 of the air passage Y3 provided in the bottle close-contact band 3 opens, and the decompression space S and the outside air are connected (FIG. 3). (Shown in (b)).
Therefore, when the bin B is stored, if the operation button 7a is pressed with a finger, it can be stored lightly without resistance due to the decompression space S. Also, when the bin B is pulled out, the operation button 7a is pressed with the finger. If pressed, it is possible to remove lightly without resistance due to the decompression space S.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, when the check valve 6 is also provided, the air inside is automatically pushed out from the decompression space S when the bin B is stored, At this time, it is not necessary to press the operation button 7a, and when the user wants to remove, the operation button 7a can be pushed lightly without any resistance due to the decompression space S.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the unsealing means of the suction / exhaust control means X faces the decompressed space S, and the side portions 1a of the hard covering material 1 and the heat insulating material 2 are arranged. An opening / closing valve 9 and an operation button 8a for opening / closing the opening / closing valve 9 may be provided in the ventilation path Y3 penetrating 2a.
Reference numeral 8b in FIG. 4 denotes an air intake / exhaust shaft, 9a denotes an internal opening of the on-off valve 9, and 9b denotes an external opening of the on-off valve 9, showing an embodiment formed in the air intake / exhaust shaft 8b.
In this form of opening means, when the operation button 8a is pushed with a finger, the opening / closing valve 9 of the ventilation path Y4 is opened, and the decompression space S and the outside air are directly connected (shown in FIG. 4 (B)).
Therefore, when the bin B is stored, the operation button 8a can be lightly stored without any resistance due to the decompression space S by pushing the operation button 8a with a finger, and the operation button 8a can be stored with the finger when the bin B is pulled out. If pressed, it is possible to remove lightly without resistance due to the decompression space S.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, when the check valve 6 is also provided, the air inside is automatically pushed out from the decompression space S when the bin B is stored, At this time, it is not necessary to press the operation button 8a, and when the operation button 8a is to be pulled out, the operation button 8a can be pushed out without any resistance due to the decompression space S.

Further, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 5 which is a cross-sectional plan view and (a) and (b) of FIG. 6 which are longitudinal side views thereof, the exhaust means and sealing means of the intake / exhaust control means X And the opening means is provided with one incision 12 or two symmetrical incisions 12a and 12b at the outer periphery of the bottom 1b of the hard covering 1 at the boundary with the side part 1a and having a total length exceeding a half circumference. The shape of the horizontal cross section of the entire side portions 1a and 2a of the hard covering material 1 and the heat insulating material 2 is changed from a perfect circle shape to an elliptical shape by pressing a finger from both sides of the side portion 1a of the hard covering material 1 Thus, the air passage Y5 can be generated in the bulging portion.
5, F is the outer diameter of the hard covering material after deformation, the outer diameter of the expanded hard coating material, H is the inner diameter of the bottle adhesive band after deformation, M is the outer diameter of the hard coating material, and W is the side of the bin B The outer diameter of the part.
6A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line aa in a state narrowed by the finger pressing, and FIG. 6B is expanded by the finger pressing of FIG. , 12b are vertical side views showing a cross section taken along line bb in a state where the open air passage Y5 is generated.

In this embodiment, when the bin B is stored, the deformation has the bottom peripheral cuts 12a and 12b on both sides, so that both sides of the side portion 1a of the hard covering 1 are pressed with a finger and the hard covering 1 and The entire side portions 1a and 2a of the heat insulating material 2 can be easily deformed from a perfect circular shape to an elliptical shape in the horizontal cross section.
Due to this deformation, a gap, that is, a ventilation path Y5 is generated between the bottle B and the bin adhesion band 3 portion where the side 2a of the heat insulating material 2 is formed, and both sides of the side 1a of the hard coating 1 are simply fingered. By pressing, the bottle B can be lightly accommodated or pulled out without resistance due to the decompression space S.

  Although the present invention is a bottle cooler that stores and uses a bottle, a container such as a metal other than a bottle can be used as long as it can be stored in the bottle cooler of the present invention.
