Description

 The invention relates to the field of food industry, more specifically to containers and packaging for liquid products, and can be used to create means of thermal insulation and cooling drinks before use and during use.

 A device for cooling a beverage is known, comprising a container for a beverage, an airtight container for a refrigerant made in the form of a shell covering a container for a beverage; on the inner surface of the shell there are belts in contact with the outer surface of the beverage container, and on the belts there are channels for the passage of the refrigerant, which is liquefied gas (see patent of the Russian Federation N 2076061, IPC B 65 D 17/00, publ. 27.03 .97). The disadvantage of this known device for cooling a drink is the complexity of the design and method of its manufacture, high cost, as well as the short duration of the cooling effect.

 Also known is a device in the form of a cylindrical packaging for bottles with drinks, providing the possibility of cooling (see US patent N 3977552, CL 215-13, publ. 31.08.76). The walls and bottom of the package are made of thermally insulating material placed between thin layers of plastic sheath. The disadvantage of this device is the difficulty of manufacturing multilayer structures, insufficient cooling efficiency due to the inability to use additional refrigerant.

 The objective of the invention is the creation of containers with heat-insulating packaging for drinks, providing an increase in consumer properties of drinks, improving the presentation and recognition of the product, providing simplicity and ease of use, creating conditions for maintaining the cooled state of the drink for a long time.

 This result is achieved in that in a container with a thermally insulating packaging for drinks, in which said container is made in the form of a bottle of cylindrical shape with a tapering upper part, and the package repeats the shape of the cylindrical part of the bottle and is made of thermally insulating material, in accordance with the invention, at least part of the outer cylindrical surface of the bottle and / or at least part of the inner surface of the package made sealing relief projections.

 While the package is preferably made of two detachable parts, respectively forming the main part of the package and its cover.

 Sealing relief protrusions can be made circular with gaps displaced relative to the height of the bottle and / or package, respectively, or spiral or dome-shaped with a funnel forming the lower parts of the protrusions.

 The specified technical result is also achieved by the fact that in a container with a thermally insulating packaging for drinks, in which the said container is made in the form of a bottle of cylindrical shape with a tapering upper part, and the package repeats the shape of the cylindrical part of the bottle and is made of thermally insulating material, in accordance with the invention at least at least on a part of the cylindrical surface of the bottle and / or the inner surface of the package, a spiral sealing relief projection is made, providing a tight fixed position there are containers inside the package, while between the inner surface of the package and the outer surface of the container in the area of the tapering part of the bottle there is a cavity for ice.

 In this case, the packaging with thermally insulating packaging preferably contains a lid for covering the cavity for placement of ice, and the angle of inclination of the spiral path relative to the base of the bottle is determined from the condition of ensuring the drainage of water formed as a result of melting ice.

 The spiral sealing relief projection forms at least 1.5 turns of the spiral and can preferably be placed on the upper part of the cylindrical surface of the bottle, while sealing relief projections are made in the lower part of the cylindrical surface of the bottle and / or the inner surface of the package.

 In addition, the package may be made of a material selected from the group comprising plastics and foamed plastics, and a layer of heat-shrink film may be applied to the outer surface of the package.

 The specified technical result is achieved, in addition, by the fact that the container with a thermally insulating packaging for drinks, which is a container with a tapering upper part, and the packaging basically follows the shape of the container, in accordance with the invention contains a capillary seal located in the gap between the outer surface of the container and the inner surface of the package, wherein the capillary seal is preferably placed in said gap in a region below the tapering portion of the container.

 In this case, the package is preferably made of two detachable parts, forming respectively the main part of the package and its cover, and on the inner surface of the package in its lower part guide ribs can be made to fix the position of the container in the package.

 In addition, the package is preferably made of a material selected from the group comprising plastics and foamed plastics.

 It is also preferable that a cavity is formed between the surface of the tapering part of the container and the inner surface of the package, the package is provided with an annular cover to close the ice-placement cavity, put on the tapering part of the container, and the annular cover is configured to cover its peripheral part of the main part of the package or its cover, while the peripheral part of the annular cover can be made corrugated.

In this case, you can see the image of the lower part of the container on the packaging label and the neck of a real container. In FIG. 9 (c) shows a container 1 taken out of a package. This type of arrangement additionally enhances the consumer properties and recognizability of the product offered for sale, creating an associative connection with the national symbolism embodied in the famous Russian nesting doll, because the proposed configuration of options (a), (b) and (c) resembles the order of folding the components Matryoshka elements: option (a) contains the remaining options (b), (c), option (b) contains option (c).

 The following describes the functionality of the claimed packaging with thermally insulating packaging with reference to the drawings.

 A container (for example, bottle 1) with a drink is placed in a plastic or foam plastic package made in two parts, which completely covers the container with the drink in the storage position (Fig. 2, Fig. 9 (a)). The choice of packaging material and its constructive implementation, provide the possibility of long-term preservation of the drink chilled during its use. In this case, the sealing protrusions, which can be provided both on the bottle 1 (protrusions 4) and on the package (protrusions 4 ', 14, 15), provide a tight placement of the bottle in the package. At the same time, the protrusions 4 provide air convection in the gap between the walls of the package and the container, while cooling the drink when the container in the package is in the refrigerator. If the drink is warmer than the air outside the package, the warm air will rise up and be replaced by colder air, which, according to the laws of thermodynamics, is heavier than warm. In the case when the drink in the bottle with the package is colder than the air outside the package, for example, when serving on the table, air convection will be absent. This will keep the drink cool for a longer time than with a bottle without packaging. The heating of the drink will occur only due to the diffusion of air molecules and heating of the neck of the bottle outside the package. In addition, due to the sealing protrusions between the container and the packaging, the container is held tightly in the package. Thus, in the process of pouring the drink, there is no need to remove the bottle from the package, which further contributes to maintaining a lower temperature of the drink compared to ambient air and provides ease of handling.

 In one of the embodiments of the invention, the sealing relief projections 4 are made spiral (Fig. 4). During use, ice cubes 17 are placed in the cavity 16, and an annular cap 3 is put on the tapering part 8 of the bottle, forming a tight connection with the main part of the package due to the peripheral part of the annular cap 3 corrugated. The water 18 formed during the melting of ice 17 will flow in a stream or drops along spiral projections 4 due to its own weight. The possibility of water draining along the spiral protrusion 4 will be affected by the angle of inclination α of the protrusions 4 to the local horizontal (Fig. 5) for a vertically oriented bottle, the wettability of water with container material and packaging, and friction forces. The rolling force F = mg • Sinα (where m is the mass of the drop of water, g is the acceleration of gravity) should exceed the friction and adhesion forces between the drop of water and the packaging with the container.

When pouring the beverage 19 from the bottle 1, as shown in FIG. 6, water flowing down the spiral ledges and accumulated at the bottom of the package, when the bottle is placed vertically, will not pour out when the bottle is tilted to a certain critical angle due to the spiral ledges 4. The critical angle of inclination between the local vertical and the axis of the bottle is approximately equal to (180 ^o - α), and, as a rule, is not achieved when the bottle is tilted when pouring the drink. In this case, the annular lid will protect the ice 17 from spilling out of the container 16. The annular lid can be made of transparent plastic. Under a transparent ring cover, you can place a ring of thick paper with the image of ice cubes, for prompting the user. An image of ice cubes can also be applied to the tapering part of the bottle. Using ice makes it possible to keep a chilled drink on the table cold for a longer time. In addition, ice can be used without pre-cooling the drink in the refrigerator, for example, in camping conditions and in transport.

 In the embodiment of FIG. 7, when using a standard bottle, it is possible to produce projections 4 'on the inner surface of the package. The protrusions 4 'and 4 can serve simultaneously for different purposes: as guides for the correct installation of containers in a package, to prevent spillage of water when ice is used as a refrigerant and to provide convection of cold air due to the gap between the container and the package when placed in the refrigerator. Such packaging for standard packaging may be an independent product purchased by the buyer separately from packaging.

 In the embodiment of FIG. 8, the capillary pad 20 serves the purpose of slowly draining the melting water 18 from the cavity 17 when the bottle 1 is in the package in an upright position and to prevent the rapid pouring of the melted water when pouring the drink (Fig. 6).

 In FIG. 9 (a-c) shows a preferred embodiment of the manufacture of packaging containers and possible types of placement on store shelves. In the case of a proposal for the sale of a package consisting of two parts 5, 6, an annular cover 3 can be placed on top of the cover 6 of the package.

 On the outside of the package can be additionally placed a label, a film to improve the appearance and increase consumer properties. For this, shrink film can be used on which the necessary drawings and inscriptions can be applied.

 Large containers and packaging for the convenience of users can be made with an additional handle.

 The most preferred drinks for use in containers and packaging according to the invention will be vodka, beer and soft drinks. The use of containers and packaging according to the invention for cooling soft drinks is more hygienic than putting ice in the drink itself. In addition, ice frozen from water with previously unknown mineral composition and properties can alter the taste of a finely composed drink.

 The preferred materials for containers are glass, metal and food grade plastics.

 When applying shrink film over a package made of the main part and the lid, you can provide between them a knife made in the form of a ring with a protrusion. When the ring is rotated around its axis, the protrusion will cut through the shrink film, allowing the user to easily remove the cover.
