Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a covering device for a drinking vessel.
  • Drinking vessels such as bottles or cans usually have a drinking opening, through which a liquid can be removed.
  • this drinking opening is usually open towards the top, thus enabling foreign substances such as dust, dirt or insects to find their way into the drinking vessel. Therefore, covers for such drinking vessels are known in the state of the art in order to prevent foreign substances from entering.
  • simple lids are known which can be removed when using the drinking vessel.
  • covering devices are known which have an operating mechanism.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a covering device for a drinking vessel which can be opened as easily as possible and without any additional effort and which is not perceived by the user as interfering with the removal of liquids from the drinking vessel, i.e. in particular with drinking.
  • the invention relates to a covering device for a drinking vessel such as in particular a bottle, comprising an attachment member for attaching the covering device to the drinking vessel, a cover member for covering a drinking opening of the drinking vessel and an operating mechanism for displacing the cover member from a closed position into an open position and from an open position into a closed position.
  • the invention provides that the operating mechanism comprises an operating element, in particular an operating lever or an operating weight, and that the operating mechanism comprises a transmission, via which the operating element is coupled to the cover member.
  • the operating element is configured as an operating weight.
  • the cover member is pivotably mounted about a first pivot axis, that the operating element is pivotably mounted about a second pivot axis and that the transmission has a transmission ratio of greater than 1, causing the cover member to pivot about the first pivot axis by an angle of ⁇ *x, x being greater than 1, when the operating element pivots about the second pivot axis by the angle ⁇ , wherein the transmission ratio x is in particular between 1.5 and 4.5.
  • the cover member has an opening angle of 0° relative to the attachment member in the closed position and that the cover member has an opening angle of more than 80° or more than 90°, in particular of 80 to 120°, preferably 100°, relative to the attachment member in the open position.
  • the attachment member comprises a clamp or that the attachment member is configured as a clamp.
  • the attachment member has two retaining legs for enclosing the drinking vessel and/or for clamping the attachment member to the drinking vessel and that a drinking space is provided between the two free ends of the two retaining legs.
  • the cover member is configured as a closure lid and/or as a closure flap and forms a continuous, liquid-tight cover, or that the cover member is configured as a closure lid and/or as a closure flap and forms a non-continuous cover, preferably provided with holes for the passage of air.
  • first gear wheel section comprises an external gear wheel section and that the second gear wheel section comprises an internal gear wheel section.
  • a first gear wheel section is provided, which is pivotably arranged about the first pivot axis, wherein the first gear wheel section is coupled to the cover member in a rotationally fixed manner
  • a second gear wheel section is provided, which is pivotably arranged about the second pivot axis, wherein the second gear wheel section is coupled to the operating element in a rotationally fixed manner, that the second gear wheel section is in engagement with the first gear wheel section and that the second gear wheel section has a greater effective diameter than the first gear wheel section, the transmission thus having a ratio of greater than 1.
  • the centre of gravity of the operating weight is arranged at a distance from the second pivot axis and in particular that the operating weight is arranged in a suspended manner when used as intended, the centre of gravity of the operating weight being at a distance from the second pivot axis and below the second pivot axis.
  • an alternative embodiment provides that the operating element is configured as an operating lever.
  • At least one third gear wheel section is provided for coupling the first gear wheel section to the second gear wheel section.
  • the operating lever is kept in a rest position by a spring element, wherein the rest position of the operating lever corresponds to the closed position of the covering device.
  • a groove or annular groove is provided on the attachment member, in particular on the retaining legs, for centring the position of the covering device on the drinking vessel.
  • the invention also relates to an arrangement of an inventive covering device on a drinking vessel, in particular in the area of the drinking opening of the drinking vessel.
  • a clearance is provided between the drinking vessel and the operating element in order to allow the operating element to be pivoted in the direction of the drinking vessel, so that the operating element is spaced apart from the drinking vessel in the closed position of the covering device.
  • the attachment member encloses the drinking vessel only partially in the area of the drinking opening so that a drinking space is left free against which the lips can be placed in an unhindered manner.
  • the invention provides an operating mechanism with an operating element.
  • the operating element is coupled to the cover member by means of a transmission in order to be able to open the covering device as easily as possible, i.e. to move it into its open position.
  • the transmission causes a particularly efficient transmission of force from the operating element to the cover member and allows the covering device to be opened and closed easily and without problems.
  • the transmission has a transmission ratio of greater than 1. This causes that pivoting the operating element by an angle ⁇ causes the cover member to pivot by an angle greater than said angle ⁇ .
  • a space-saving dimensioning of the operating element or its space of movement can be achieved even though the cover member is suitably lifted from the drinking opening.
  • both the cover member and the operating element are pivotably mounted about two mutually independent pivot axes.
  • transmission elements of any desired design such as gear wheel sections or gear wheels may be provided. These may for example have external and/or internal toothings. Also, linearly toothed sections, such as toothed rods, may be provided in order to achieve a desired transmission ratio.
  • gear wheel sections or gear wheels are provided, which are in direct engagement with each other.
  • the gear wheel sections or gear wheels, respectively may be connected or coupled to the cover member or the operating element, respectively, in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • a rotationally fixed connection is in particular a rotational coupling of two elements in which the rotation of one element causes substantially the same rotation of the other element, any elastic torsional deformations are being neglected.
  • the gear wheel section or the gear wheel on the operating element may have a greater effective diameter than the gear wheel section or the gear wheel on the cover member.
  • the covering device By operating the operating element the covering device may be brought from a closed position to an open position.
  • the angle between the attachment member and the cover member which is also referred to as opening angle, is about 0° in the closed position.
  • a continuous, fluid-tight cover member may optionally be provided, fully closing the drinking opening in the closed position.
  • cover member also be configured to be at least partially permeable to air or liquids and may, for example, have holes or other ventilation openings.
  • larger contaminants such as insects may be prevented from entering the drinking vessel while at the same time guaranteeing sufficient air circulation.
  • the opening angle is greater than 80°.
  • a large opening angle can prevent the cover member from contacting parts of the user's face, such as in particular the user's nose, in an uncomfortable manner during drinking.
  • the closing mechanism may, for example, be triggered manually by means of an operating lever when the drinking vessel is gripped or automatically by means of an operating weight when the drinking vessel is tilted.
  • a spring element may be provided, which serves to hold the operating lever in a certain position when no force is applied. If the user wants to open the covering device, he pushes the operating lever and the opening of the cover member is triggered via the transmission. If the covering device is to be closed again, the user releases the operating lever, which causes the operating lever to be moved back to its initial position by the spring element.
  • the operating weight is arranged in such a way that the covering device changes or is moved to the open position when the drinking vessel is tilted during normal use of the drinking vessel.
  • the operating weight has a large mass in order to bring the covering device into its open position as quickly and reliably as possible. This prevents parts of the face of the user of the covering device from coming into contact with the cover member when the user places the drinking vessel against his lips and drinks from the drinking vessel.
  • the transmission mechanism is triggered to bring the covering device back into the closed position. It is preferable that the covering device is automatically moved into the closed position.
  • Normal use in this context means the usual and known use of a drinking vessel such as a bottle, a mug or a drinking glass.
  • the drinking vessel is for example tilted to a point at which liquid flows over the drinking edge.
  • the attachment device may optionally include a clamp. The user can thus easily mount the device according to the invention and remove it when he no longer needs the covering device.
  • retaining legs extending on both sides of the cover member. If the device according to the invention comprises such retaining legs, a drinking space may be provided between the two free ends of the retaining legs. Thus, the lips do not have to be placed against the attachment member when drinking, but can touch the drinking opening in an unhindered manner.
  • a groove, an annular groove or another geometry may be provided on the attachment member, i.e. in particular on the clamp or the retaining legs.
  • This groove, annular groove or geometry can be brought into effective contact with a structure present on the drinking vessel, such as an annular collar or a thread, in such a way that the position of the covering device relative to the drinking vessel is defined and fixed.
  • the geometry provided on the inside of the attachment member may be configured and/or suitable to be connected to different drinking vessels.
  • a geometry may have different elements which allow the position of the covering device to be centred relative to the drinking vessel or relative to different drinking vessels.
