Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for marking the bottom of a bottle for its identification among a series of bottles arranged so that only the bottom of these bottles can be seen.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a simple marking device allowing to very easily locate a bottle, for example arranged in a wine cellar so that only its bottom can be seen.
  • the bottles are usually lined up in horizontal position on racks or in cupboards especially designed for this purpose and the small distance preserved between two successive lines makes almost invisible the label which decorates the body of these bottles.
  • the identification of the shape of a bottle becomes more delicate. Moreover, the colored outer capsule can then not help locating the chosen bottle and there is hardly any chance of noticing neither the label on the body of the bottle nor, of course, the collar the bottles of some wines are provided with.
  • bottle-identification devices which are designed capable, as the case may be, of being provided on the neck or the bottom of the latter.
  • a bottle-identification device comprising a data carrier with fastening means allowing to position it, as the case may be, on the neck or the bottom of the bottle.
  • these fastening means are in the form of snap-on or clamping legs.
  • the clamping legs are in the form of three claws enclosing the bottom of the bottle and extending in the shape of a star from a circular pellet forming, substantially, the data carrier.
  • EP-1,126,433 is known a bottle-identification device, in particular applicable to bottles arranged so that only the bottom portion can be seen by an observer.
  • this identification device is in the form of a cup made out of a transparent material designed capable of being encased onto the bottom of a bottle and inside which is positioned a label serving as data carrier.
  • the bottom of the cup can itself be used as data carrier.
  • the apron of a member in the form of cup or the clamping legs form members projecting over the periphery of a bottle which can easily be caught when taking an adjacent bottle.
  • the present invention pretends to be capable of solving these problems raised by the known identification devices aimed at being provided on the bottom of a bottle.
  • the invention relates to a device for marking the bottom of a bottle for its identification among a series of bottles arranged so that only the bottom of the bottle can be seen, characterized in that it consists of a label made out of a rigid or semi-rigid material comprising a front face, as a data carrier, and a back face against which is inserted at least a part made out of a resilient material covered with an adhesive, on its face opposite the label, for sticking the latter on the annular rim of the bottom of a bottle.
  • this back face of said label are applied several parts made of a resilient material covered with an adhesive, these parts being in particular distributed over a circle corresponding to an average bottle cross-section.
  • a part made out of resilient material includes an adhesive on each of its faces, one of which contributes to its sticking onto the back face of the label.
  • the front face of the label forming the data carrier comprises several identification areas, for example of different colors forming a generic recognition code for the wine contained in a bottle to be marked.
  • the front face of the label comprises a central writing area on the periphery of which extend the identification areas in the form of sections.
  • the label By providing the label with a part made of a resilient material including an adhesive face, the latter is capable of closely matching the curvilinear shape the annular rim of the bottom of a bottle includes.
  • the adhesive thus matches this curvilinear surface, in order to keep the marking device in place, and for a long period of time, on the bottom of any bottle whatsoever.
  • the size of the label can be selected so that it is independent from the cross-section of any bottle whatsoever.
  • this label will be selected with a cross-section at most equal to that corresponding to the smallest bottle.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic and perspective view of a marking device according to the invention applied to the bottom of a bottle;
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic and cross-sectional view of the bottom of this bottle receiving the marking device in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing the back face of the label corresponding to the marking device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic side view of this label comprising, at the level of its back face, a part made out of a resilient material;
  • FIG. 5 schematically shows an example of distribution of several parts made out of a resilient material on the back face of a label
  • FIG. 6 is a schematic view of the front face of the label corresponding to the marking device according to the invention.
  • the present invention relates to a marking device 1 , in particular aimed at being inserted against the bottom 2 of a bottle 3 for the identification of the latter among a series of bottles, for example arranged in a wine cellar, so that only the bottom of these bottles can be seen.
  • the bottom 2 of a bottle 3 has a concave shape, so that it can stably rest on a support through an annular rim 4 .
  • this annular rim 4 has a round general shape, knowing that any sharp edge at the level of a bottle, in particular made out of glass, could represent a danger for the user.
  • the marking device 1 comprises a label 5 made out of a rigid or semi-rigid material, for example cardboard or plastic material.
  • This label 5 comprises a front face 6 defining a data carrier 7 and a back face 8 .
  • the adhesive face 11 of the latter can match the round shape of this annular rim 4 and thus guarantee a perfect adhesion of the label 5 to the bottom 2 of the bottle 3 .
  • these parts 9 , 9 A, 9 B, 9 C are distributed at the level of this back face 8 of the label 5 over a circle 15 corresponding to an average bottle cross-section, knowing that only one or only part of these parts 9 , 9 A, 9 B, 9 C can be used for adhering the label 5 to the bottom 2 of a bottle 3 to be marked.
  • the present invention is in no way limited to a label having a circular shape.
  • a part 9 made out of a resilient material can be applied through gluing to the back face 8 of a label 5 .
  • a part 9 can comprise, on each one of its opposite faces 11 , 14 , an adhesive 10 , 10 ′.
  • the adhesive 10 on the face 11 intervening in sticking the label onto a bottle 3 can be defined by a re-usable adhesive.
  • the label 5 can at will be stuck, then removed without difficulty from the bottom 2 of a bottle 3 , and even be re-used, after a first use, for marking a new bottle.
  • This type of re-usable adhesive has the advantage of not leaving any unpleasant trace of adhesive on a bottle.
  • This adhesive I 0 on the face 11 of a part 9 affixed on the label 5 can initially be covered with a protective film 17 that the user removes when marking a bottle. If the label 5 comprises several parts 9 , 9 A, 9 B, 9 C, one can imagine that at each new marking of a bottle one uncovers, through removing the protective film, the adhesive of a new part 9 , 9 A, 9 B, 9 C, which will be used to stick the label 5 onto the bottle to be marked.
  • the carrier data 7 it advantageously comprises a plurality of identification areas 15 , for example of different colors.
  • these colors can correspond to a generic identification code for the contents of a bottle to be marked.
  • the qualifier color should be taken in the broadest generic meaning.
  • on either of these identification areas 15 can be applied symbols or other graphical characters allowing to identify a type of wine.
  • the representation, in either of these areas, of a small circle or a sphere can correspond to sparkling wines.
  • this label 5 also comprises, at the level of its front face 6 , at least one writing area 16 .
  • the user can apply any type of information aimed at identifying a bottle.
  • the qualifier writing for an area 16 must be considered in a generic meaning.
  • this area 16 can be applied a pre-printed self-adhesive label, even carrying a bar code likely to be recognized using adapted optical character recognizing means.
  • this data carrier 7 corresponding to the front face 6 can be made out of a material on which any inscription made by means of an adapted pen is erasable, in order to allow, here too, an indefinite re-use of a label 5 .
