The joint portion 6 of the present embodiment has two rotation shafts provided on the holding portion 4 side and the support portion 3 side, and the relative angle between the holding portion 4 and the support portion 3 is more freedom than in the case of one rotation shaft. The degree is improved.

  The fixing member 7 is provided in the holding unit 4 and fixes a container such as a plastic bottle disposed on the rear side of the holding unit 4. The fixing member 7 is, for example, a belt member, and the container can be fixed by winding and tightening the body of the container. As the fixing member 7, for example, a stretchable belt such as rubber or a belt provided with a length adjusting means such as a buckle can be adopted.

  The limiting member 21 is provided on the support portion 3 side of the front surface of the pedestal portion 2, and is supported by restricting the forward rotation of the support portion 3 around the rotation axis of the joint portion 5 when the container holder 1 is used. The angle of the part 3 with respect to the base part 2 is defined.

  The locking member 31 is provided on the side surface of the support portion 3 and locks the pedestal portion 2 folded so as to face the support portion 3 when the container holder 1 is stored. The locking member 31 of the present embodiment is composed of a pair of members provided on both side surfaces of the support portion 3, and the both side surfaces of the pedestal portion 2 can be sandwiched between these members.

  Although the material of each member of the container holder 1 is not specifically limited, For example, various materials, such as resin, such as a plastic, and a metal, can be used. The overall dimensions of the container holder 1 are not particularly limited. For example, in order to hold a 2 L plastic bottle (width 110 mm × depth 90 mm × height 310 mm), the plan view of FIG. 1 has a width 60 mm × depth 30 mm × height. It can be 250 mm. The width of the container holding unit 1 is preferably designed to be equal to or less than the width of a container such as a plastic bottle. The height of the container holding part 1 is preferably designed to be half or less the height of a container such as a plastic bottle in a folded state as will be described later.

  FIG. 2 is a side view of a container holder according to an embodiment of the present invention, (A) a container holder before assembly, (B) a container holder after use (in use), and (C) after folding. (Stored state) is shown.

  As described above, the pedestal portion 2 can rotate about the joint portion 5 as an axis. When the container holder 1 is used, the pedestal portion 2 is bent toward the restricting member 21 (that is, the front side), and stops at a position where the restricting member 21 contacts the support portion 3 (FIG. 2B). In this posture, the angle α formed by the base portion 2 and the support portion 3 is preferably set to be less than 90 degrees so that the support portion 3 does not fall to the rear side. That is, the limiting member 21 is formed in a shape that can define the angle α and is installed on the pedestal portion 2.

  When the container holder 1 is stored, the pedestal portion 2 is bent to the side opposite to the limiting member 21 (that is, the rear side) and is locked by the locking member 31 in a state of being folded so as to face the support portion 3 ( FIG. 2 (C)).

  The rotation angle range of the pedestal portion 2 can be about 360 degrees from the position where the pedestal portion 2 faces the rear surface of the support portion 3 to the position facing the front surface of the support portion 3 with the limiting member 21 removed. In the present embodiment, the rotation angle range of the pedestal 2 is sufficient if the angle from the position where the pedestal 2 faces the rear surface of the support 3 to the position where the pedestal 2 abuts against the limiting member 21 (about 360 degrees−angle α).

  As described above, the holding unit 4 can rotate about the joint unit 6 as an axis. When the container holder 1 is used, a container (not shown) such as a plastic bottle is placed on the rear side of the support portion 3 by the fixing member 7 with its mouth facing upward (above FIG. 2A). Fixed. The holding | maintenance part 4 can be bend | folded to the limiting member 21 side (namely, front side) so that the opening | mouth of a container may face below (FIG. 2 (B)).

  When the container holder 1 is stored, the holding portion 4 is bent toward the restricting member 21 and is locked by the locking member 41 in a state of being folded so as to face the support portion 3 (FIG. 2C).

  The rotation angle range of the holding part 4 can be about 360 degrees from the position where the holding part 4 faces the rear surface of the support part 3 to the position where the holding part 4 faces the front surface of the support part 3. In the present embodiment, the rotation angle range of the holding unit 4 is about 180 degrees from the position where the holding unit 4 is linearly arranged on the support unit 3 (the state in FIG. 2A) to the position facing the front surface of the support unit 3. If there is enough.

  Drawing 3 is a side view of the container holder concerning one embodiment of the present invention, and shows the state where (A) the container was installed, and (B) the contents of the container are poured.

  The container holder 1 is used, for example, in a state where the pedestal 2 is placed on an installation surface P such as a table. A container Q such as a plastic bottle is held by the holding unit 4 and is fixed to the holding unit 4 by a fixing member 7. The fixing member 7 which is a belt member is preferably wound above the center in the height direction of the container Q.

  FIG. 3A shows a standby state of the container holder 1 and the container Q. The support portion 3 is disposed at an angle of less than 90 degrees with respect to the pedestal portion 2 and is supported by the limiting member 21. The holding part 4 is supported by the support part 3 and arranged above the pedestal part 2. In this state, the container Q is supported by the installation surface P and the container holder 1, and the posture with the mouth of the container Q facing upward is maintained. Although the support part 3 receives the load of the container Q, it can maintain an attitude | position by the limitation member 21. As shown in FIG.

  FIG. 3B shows a state in which the content X of the container Q is poured into another container R such as a glass. For example, the user grasps and lifts the lower part of the container Q (below the fixing member 7) so that the mouth of the container Q faces downward. The holding unit 4 is bent toward the restricting member 21 with the change in the posture of the container Q. At this time, the posture of the support portion 3 is maintained by the limiting member 21 while receiving the load of the container Q. The user can pour the contents X into another container R while adjusting the angle of the container Q (and the angle of the holding unit 4).

  As shown in FIG. 3, in a state where the container Q is held by the container holder 1, a part of the front surface of the container Q (side surface facing the holding portion 4) is in contact with the rear surface of the holding portion 4 and is supported. It also touches the upper end of the part 3. That is, the container Q can rotate by being supported by the container holder 1 with the upper end portion of the support portion 3 as a fulcrum (and a support shaft). Therefore, the holding portion 4 does not need to be configured to surround and hold the outer periphery of the body portion of the container Q, and is configured to have a planar shape that can receive a partial region of the front surface of the container Q, such as a belt. What is necessary is just to hold | maintain the container Q using the simple fixing member 7. FIG. In addition, the lower end part of the support part 3 contacts the installation surface P, and thereby the container Q can be supported above the support part 3.

  FIG. 4 is a side view of the container holder according to the embodiment of the present invention, showing a state in which the container holder is stored.

  The container Q such as a plastic bottle can be stored in, for example, a storage pocket provided inside the refrigerator door. In general, the storage pocket of the door is designed to have a small margin with respect to the outer diameter of the lower portion of the container Q because a large space cannot be taken in the refrigerator. When the container storage and pouring device as in Patent Document 1 is attached to the container Q, it cannot be stored in the storage pocket. On the other hand, the container holder 1 attached to the upper part of the container Q can be folded compactly on the upper front side of the container Q, and the lower part of the container Q is not covered, and the container Q is stored in the storage pocket. can do.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. The container holder 1 of this embodiment hold | maintains containers, such as a PET bottle, so that the angle of the opening | mouth can be adjusted. Moreover, the container holder 1 is comprised so that an assembly and folding are possible. Thereby, while pouring the contents of a container easily, storage and carrying can be made easy.

  For example, the container holder 1 can be folded above the front of the container (see FIG. 4), so that when the container is stored in the storage pocket or shelf of the refrigerator door, there is less interference with the left and right and rear spaces. It can be stored efficiently by bringing containers close to each other.

  For example, since the container holder 1 is compactly arranged on the front side of the container (see FIG. 4), it does not get in the way even when the container is stored on a shelf such as a refrigerator. Further, for example, by using a belt member as the fixing member, the container can be stored in a stable state without swinging on the shelf, and can be easily taken out.

  For example, since the container holder 1 can be folded compactly above the front surface of the container, the container can be used in the same manner as when the container holder 1 is not mounted. Even when a person who does not need assistance with the container holder 1 has a container, or when the contents of the container are reduced and lighter, and assistance with the container holder 1 is no longer necessary, the container holder 1 is attached to the container. It wo n’t interfere with you. After the container holder 1 is attached to the container, it may not be removed until the container is empty.

  Further, for example, by using a belt member as the fixing member, it is possible to fit and fix even containers of different sizes and shapes (for example, 2L PET bottles having different sizes and shapes depending on the manufacturer). In the container storage body of Patent Document 1, since there is a gap between the container and the container, a container locking means for preventing the container from falling is necessary, and the range of the size and shape of the container to be stored is narrow.

  Further, for example, the container holder 1 can raise the position of the fulcrum with respect to the installation surface of the table or the like. Therefore, when pouring water or the like into another tall container such as a tumbler, the required height of the spout is high. Can be secured.

  For example, when the remaining amount in the container decreases and the inclination when pouring becomes steep, the position of the spout becomes lower than the height of the inlet of the other container. However, when the container is fixed by a fixing member such as a rubber belt, the position of the fixing member can be easily shifted with respect to the container, so that the height of the spout can be easily adjusted.

  Further, for example, in accordance with the type of storage pocket of the refrigerator door, the container holder 1 can be mounted on either the first side surface (long side) or the second side surface (short side) of a container such as a plastic bottle. Can be installed and used.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention, and those aspects are included. Some components of one embodiment may be added to other embodiments, or may be replaced with some components of another embodiment. Among the constituent elements of an embodiment, some constituent elements can be omitted.

  For example, the structure of the base part 2, the support part 3, and the holding | maintenance part 4 is not limited to a frame, as long as a container can be hold | maintained, A plate-shaped member may be sufficient.

  For example, the configuration of the joint portion 5 is not limited as long as the pedestal portion 2 and the support portion 3 are rotatably connected to each other, and may have one rotation axis, or may be supported by the pedestal portion 2 and the support portion. The joint may be realized by a structure in which the base part 2 and the support part 3 are fitted to each other. Similarly, the structure of the joint part 6 is not limited as long as the support part 3 and the holding part 4 are connected to each other so as to be rotatable.

  For example, an anti-slip member using a material such as silicone rubber may be provided on the rear surface of the holding unit 4. If it does in this way, the holding | maintenance part 4 can hold | maintain a container more strongly.

  For example, an anti-slip member using a material such as silicone rubber may be provided on the bottom surface of the base 2. If it does in this way, the friction with respect to the installation surface of the base part 2 can be raised. Further, for example, a weight may be provided on the pedestal portion 2. If it does in this way, the friction with respect to the installation surface of the base part 2 can be raised.

  For example, the fixing member 7 is not limited to a belt member as long as the container can be fixed, and may be a mechanical structure that holds the container.

  For example, the shape and arrangement of the restriction member 21 are not limited as long as the angle of the support portion 3 can be defined, and may be provided in the support portion 3 or may be provided in both the pedestal portion 2 and the support portion 3. Good. For example, instead of the limiting member 21, a mechanism for limiting the rotation angle may be provided in the joint portion 5, and a mechanism for locking and releasing the rotation angle may be provided in the joint portion 5.

  For example, the configuration and arrangement of the locking member 31 are not limited as long as the locking member 31 can lock the pedestal 2, and may be provided on the pedestal 2. Similarly, the configuration and arrangement of the locking member 41 are not limited as long as the holding member 4 can be locked, and the locking member 41 may be provided on the support unit 3. Further, for example, the holding portion 4 may be bent and locked to the side opposite to the limiting member 21. In this case, the locking member 41 may be provided so as to protrude to the rear side of the holding portion 4 in FIG. Of course, the locking member 41 may be provided on the rear side of the support portion 3 in FIG.

  For example, at least one of the locking member 31 and the locking member 41 may be omitted. In this case, the base part 2 and the support part 3 (or the holding part 4 and the base part 2) of the folded container holder 1 may be tied using a string member such as a rubber string, for example.

  In addition, if arrangement | positioning of each component of a container holder, a structure, such as a dimension and a shape, can achieve the objective of this invention, it will not be restricted to the example demonstrated or illustrated above. In addition, for example, a term representing the relationship or shape of a component such as “right angle” is used, but the term is not limited to the exact meaning as it is, and the meaning is substantially the same (that is, the effect of the present invention is reduced). (If it can be demonstrated).

  The present invention is not limited to PET bottles and can be used for various containers such as bottles and cans. Further, the contents of the container are not limited to drinkable liquids, but may be seasonings or chemicals, or may be granular materials or solid materials.
