BOTTLE CARRIER Filed Feb. 7, 1946 Patented June 7, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE BOTTLE CARRIER Shade Wesley Turner, Danville, Ky. Application February 7, 1946, Serial No. 646,011
4 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in bottle carriers.
The primary object of this invention is the provision of a relatively simple type of bottle carrier which includes a frame and handle structure permitting of the ready placement of bottles within the carrier and the lifting of the same thereby without the necessity of individually handling each bottle.
A further object of this invention is the provision of an improved bottle gripping construction for bottle carriers.
A further object of this invention is the provision of a relatively simple bottle carrier con- 'struction, the parts of which may be economically fabricated and which may be utilized for the fast handling of soft drink beverages and the like.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear in the following detailed description.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and wherein similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views,
Figure 1 is a perspective View of the improved bottle carrier.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the bottle carrier.
Figure 3 is a view showing the parts arranged for reception of a bottle in the carrier.
Figure 4 is a cross sectional view showing the manner in which the bottle is locked in the carrier.
In the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown only a preferred embodimentor the invention, the letter A may generally designate the improved bottle carrier. It preferably consists of a rigid frame structure B having bottle gripping jaws C and D pivotally connected together by a shaft arrangement E to which is connected a handle F.
The entire construction may be made of metal, plastic or the like and all parts are preferably of rigid material.
The frame structure B preferably consists of elongated parallel side bars ill and H connected to right angled shorter end bars l2 and I3. All of these bars are straight and the end bars have jaw guide bars 20 connected at their ends by downturned portions 2! which may be welded or otherwise secured to the end bars. Intermediate their ends each of the bars 25} are provided with lugs or stop portions 23 at each side of the longitudinal center of the frame, and together with the portions 2| define guide slots 26 and 21 for guiding the movement of the jaws C and D.
The jaws C and D are identical. Each of them consists of a straight bar or rod or frame portion 40 having the ends thereof slidably disposed in one or others of the slots 26 or 21 at each end of the frame B. A bottle neck receiving frame bar or structure M is furthermore provided as a part of each bottle gripping jaw C and D de-' fining neck receiving openings 42, the sides of which relatively slope divergent to the entrance to the opening in a direction away from the bar Ml. This frame portion 42 is welded to the member M] at each point 46, and the openings 42 face outwardly in the direction of the bars H3 and H of the frame structure B.
The connecting shaft E provides a pivot connection for the jaws C and D; the latter at each end having extensions 50 provided with loop portions 5| at their free ends journaled upon the shaft E.
It is noted that the shaft E is of a length equivalent to the overall length of the frame B, so that the ends of the shaft E lie beneath the side bar or frame portions H2.
The handle structure F includes the side portions 50 connected by a bight 6! to which a roller 62 may be connected; the lower ends of the side portions being laterally turned at 62 and fixedly connected, as by welding, at 64 to the shaft E at the inner sides of the bearing portions 5; of the jaws C and D.
With the operator carrying the bottle carrier in his hands (empty) it is necessary to lower the same over a case of bottles and by pressing downwardly the jaws C and D will swing open to the position shown in Figure 3 and permit the tops of the bottles to enter the openings 42 between the same and the frame side bars ill and H. Merely by then lifting upward upon the handle the shaft E will be pulled upwardly and move the gripping jaws C and D laterally into the neck clamping position upon the bottle shown in Figure 4. The operator may then lift the bottles from a case.
The handle shown in the dot and dash positions of Figure 4 assumes this position by gravity and when it is so laterally positioned the gripping jaws or portions C and D will still remain in bottle clamping position. To remove a bottle it is mere- 1y necessary to press downwardly upon the handle and the bottle may readily be removed, as is quite obvious The distance designated by x in the drawing shows the extent of opening of the bottle gripping portions of the jaws relative to the bottle gripping bars of the frame B for entrance of a bottle to 3 the carrier, and the distance designated at "11 is the bottle gripping distance between these same parts.
Various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be made to the form of invention herein shown and described without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the following claims.
I claim:
1. In a bottle carrier the combination of a frame including elongated side bar portions and end portions connecting the same, a pair of bott1e gripping frames, means pivotally and slidably connecting said bottle gripping frames upon the first mentioned frame; said bottle gripping frames having bottle neck receiving openings therein facing the side bar portions of said first mentioned frame in bottle gripping relation therewith, a handle, and a common pivot shaft pivotally conmeeting said frames together at the under side ofthe plane of said first mentioned frame, said handle being connected to said pivot shaft.
2.1 In a bottle carrier the combination of a substantially rectangular frame including end bar portions and side bar portions, a pivot shaft, a pair of bottle grippingjaws pivotally connected tosaid shaft and having laterally opened bottle neck receiving sockets facing the side bar portions of said frame in bottle gripping relation therewithand. handle means connected with said shaft for movinglthe sametransversely with respect to theplane of said frame for opening or closing said jaws with respect to the side bar portions of said frame.
3. In a bottle carrier thecombination of a substantially rectangular frame including end bar portionsand side bar portions, a pivot shaft, a pairlof bottle gripping jaws pivotally connected to said shaft and having laterally opened bottle neck receiving sockets facing the side bar portions of said frame in bottle gripping relation therewith, handle means connected with said shaft for moving the same transversely with respect to the plane of said frame for opening or closing said jaws with respect to the side bar portions of said frame, and means slidably and pivotally connecting said jaws to the end bars of said frame.
4. In a bottle carrier the combination of a supporting frame having bottle gripping portions at opposite sides thereof, a bail-like handle structure, bottle gripping jaws pivoted to the lower portion of the bail-like handle structure remote from a hand grasping portion with the bottle gripping jaws-extending at opposite sides of the plane of the handle structure towards the bottle gripping portions of the frame, and means slidably and pivotally connecting said bottle gripping jaws upon the frame intermediate the ends of said jaws and spaced from the pivots of the jaws upon the handle whereby upon movement of the handle transverse to the plane of the frame the jaws will be'relatively moved upon the frame for opening and closingrelation .of the bottle gripping portions of said jaws andframe.
