- The novel features of the present invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims.
- The invention itself, both as to its construction and manner of operation, will be best understood from the following description of the preferred embodiments, which is accompanied by the following drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a view showing a pineapple-shaped bottle according to the present invention in a closed position; -
FIGS. 2a and 2b are views showing a pineapple-shaped bottle according to the present invention in an open position with a cover removed from its top, as viewed from two different points of view; -
FIG. 3a is a perspective view of a pineapple-shaped bottle according to the present invention in an open position with a cover placed underneath the bottle as a support with protrusions facing downwardly; -
FIG. 3b is a side view of a pineapple-shaped bottle according to the present invention in an open position; -
FIG. 3C is a fragment of a side area a pineapple-shaped bottle according to the present invention ; -
FIG. 4 is a view showing a cross section of a pineapple-shaped bottle ofFIG. 2 according to the present invention in an open position with a cover removed from its top; -
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of a pineapple-shaped bottle with a cover placed underneath of the bottle as a support; and -
FIG. 6 is a view showing a cross-section of a pineapple-shaped bottle ofFIG. 3 according to the present invention in an open position with a cover placed underneath the bottle. -
FIG. 7 is a view of a pineapple-shaped bottle according to the present invention in an open position with a cover placed underneath the bottle as a support with protrusions facing upwardly. - A pineapple-shaped bottle according to the present invention is identified as a whole with
reference numeral 1. It has amain body part 2 with awall 3 configured to enclose aninner space 4 for accommodating a beverage. As shown inFIGS. 2-5 themain body part 2 can be provided with ahollow neck 5 communicating with theinner space 4 for filling the bottle with a beverage and discharging a beverage from the bottle. Theneck 5 can be closed or opened by acap 6 connectable with theneck 5, for example by a threaded connection. - The bottle further has a cover which is identified as a whole with
reference numeral 7. Thecover 7 is removably attachable to themain body part 2 of the bottle, for example by a threaded connection. Thecover 7 is configured to close and to open at least a portion of themain body part 2. As can be seen from the drawings, thecover 7 has amain portion 8 and a plurality ofprotrusions 9 extending from the main portion. - The protrusions include at least three such protrusions. When the
bottle 1 is located in a vertical orientation and thecover 7 is on the top of the bottle, theprotrusions 9 extend substantially in a vertical longitudinal direction of themain body part 2 of thebottle 1 and upwardly from themain portion 8 of thecover 7. Theprotrusions 9 have firstproximal sections 9′ located closer to themain portion 8 of thecover 7 and oriented substantially longitudinally in a direction of elongation of the bottle, and seconddistal sections 9″ extending farther from the proximal sections and oriented substantially at an angle to the direction of elongation of the bottle to reach further in the transverse direction. - The
cover 7 is configured so that when removed, it is placeable underneath themain body part 2 of the bottle so as to support themain body part 2 and thus thebottle 1 from below on a supportingsurface 10. Thecover 7 has aninner contour 11 which substantially corresponds to anouter contour 12 of a lower end portion of themain body part 2 of thebottle 1. When thecover 7 is placed under themain body part 2 with its protrusions facing downwardly, it substantially encompasses a lower end portion of themain body part 2 of thebottle 1 and supports thebottle 1 from below so that the bottom of themain body part 2 is upwardly spaced from the bottom of thecover 7. In this position theprotrusions 9 of thecover 7 actually stand on the supportingsurface 10, as shown inFIG. 4 . - According to the present invention the cover and the main body part are provided with interengaging
formations interengaging formation FIG. 4 when thecover 7 is placed underneath themain body part 2 of the bottle to support themain body part 2 from below and thecover 7 is turned relative to themain body part 2 or vice versa, said theinterengaging formation cover 7 and themain body part 2 become connected with one another. - When the
cover 7 is turned relative to themain body part 2 or vice versa in an opposite turning direction, theinterengaging formations cover 7 and themain body part 2 become disconnected from each other are separated from each other. - In a preferable embodiment of the present invention the
interengaging formations - When the
cover 7 is placed under themain body part 2 with its protrusions facing upwardly, its protrusions support themain body part 2 of thebottle 1 and supports thebottle 1 from below . In this thecover 7 with its wider surface actually stand on the supportingsurface 10, as shown inFIG. 7 . - It can be seen further that the
outer surface 12 of the bottle, including themain body part 2 and thecover 7 can be provided withconvex formations 13. Theconvex formations 13 can be formed as multi-facet formations having a plurality of surfaces. - In the pineapple-shaped
bottle 1 according to the present invention, the single component, namely thecover 7 in an advantageous manner alternatingly either covers at least a portion of the bottle from above or supports the bottle from below, and therefore the one component, namely thecover 7, performs two different functions. - The construction of the
protrusions 9 with thelongitudinally extending sections 9′ and inclinedly extendingsections 9″ makes corresponding operations with the cover very convenient. When thecover 9 is placed on the top of the bottle, it is convenient to place the fingers of a user underneath theinclinedly extending sections 9″ of theprotrusions 9 and to grasp them in order to lift the cover. When thecover 9 is placed underneath the bottle, the inclinedly extendingsections 9″ of theprotrusion 9 provide an extended surface support for the bottle on the supporting surface. - Since the
outer surface 12 of thebottle 1 is provided withconvex formations 13 which can be formed as multi-facet formations having a plurality of surfaces, it is easier for the user to reliably hold the bottle in his hands. - In a not shown embodiment the
cover 7 can be provided, instead of a protruding threaded inner sleeve which receives a protruding threaded neck of the main part, with a cork which extends toward the main body part and is tightly insertable into the neck of themain body part 2. - The invention is not limited to the details shown since various modifications and structural changes are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention.
- What is desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in particular in the appended claims.
