RU119285U1 - DEVICE FOR REDUCING THE VOLUME OF PLASTIC BOTTLES - Google Patents

Abstract

A device for reducing the volume of disposable containers, in particular disposable containers for drinks, communicated with the inner space of the disposable container to create a vacuum, with the possibility of reducing the volume, characterized in that the device is made in the form of a flywheel with elongated protrusions, in the center of the lower part of which is made a recess with dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of the container lid, on the inner surface of which a screw thread is applied, made with the possibility of screwing the device onto the neck of the container, and in the upper part of the recess, coaxially with the opening of the neck, a through hole is made, while the device is equipped with a membrane, and the flywheel is made of environmentally friendly material-polyurethane.

Description

The invention relates to devices for reducing the volume of disposable plastic containers, in particular plastic beverage bottles.

An ecological approach to life involves solving not only global environmental issues, but also many issues at the household level. Every year, the consumption of drinks packaged in plastic containers is increasing. Plastic bottles for drinks occupy more and more volumes in the trash bin of every family, and, consequently, in landfills.

There are a large number of devices, presses, which in industrial production compress plastic containers for subsequent processing.

A device is known for reducing the volume of disposable beverage containers, in communication with the interior of the disposable container to create a vacuum with the possibility of reducing the volume. The prototype is RF patent No. 2420398.

A disadvantage of the known technical solution is the complexity of the device, the inconvenience of its use at home.

The objective of the proposed utility model is to simplify the device and the possibility of its use in everyday life.

The problem is solved in that the device for reducing the volume of disposable containers, in particular disposable beverage containers, in communication with the interior of the disposable container to create a vacuum, with the possibility of reducing the volume, is made in the form of a flywheel with elongated protrusions, in the center of the lower part of which a recess is made with dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of the lid of the container, on the inner surface of which a screw thread is applied, made with the possibility of screwing the device onto the neck of the container and, and in the upper part of the recess, aligned with the neck of the neck, a through hole is made, while the flywheel is made of environmentally friendly polyurethane material.

In addition, the external shape and dimensions of the device can be varied;

In addition, the device is equipped with a membrane;

In addition, the device is made of another durable environmentally friendly material.

The proposed device allows you to reduce the volume of plastic bottles for drinks and only then send them to the bin, which is an undoubted convenience for each individual family, due to the obvious reduction in the volume of a particular garbage bag.

In FIG. The proposed utility model is shown, where 1 is a device in the form of a flywheel, 2 is a recess in a flywheel with an internal thread 3, a through hole 4 with a diameter of d, 5 are elongated projections of the flywheel, the membrane is not shown.

Device operation: an empty disposable beverage container (plastic bottle) is released from the lid. The inventive device is screwed onto the neck. In this case, the container is rigidly held in its lower part and the screwing process is continued until the bottle begins to curl (wrinkle). The air in the container, through the through hole 4 made in the device 1, is forced out and the plastic bottle (container) is significantly reduced in volume.

The proposed device allows the process to be carried out easily and quickly, since it is made in the form of a flywheel with elongated protrusions creates the conditions for convenient grip by hand, as a result of which effort is not required when screwing the device onto the neck and further twisting (squeezing) the container.

The device may have a membrane fixed at the base of the through hole, which improves the effect of volume reduction by preventing the return of air into the cavity of the bottle.

The proposed device is made of polyurethane by injection molding using molds.

The device can be made from another durable and environmentally friendly material.

The shape and size of the device may be different.

The device is economical, easy to use and reduces the amount of garbage in the form of plastic bottles at home.

The proposed device is small-sized and can also be used in cottages, beaches, picnics and other places where a large number of empty plastic containers for drinks are collected.
