BOTTLE HOLDER Filed Jan. 2'7, 1964 I NVENTOR. P404 1f M44452 United States Patent 3,220,685 BUTTLE HOLDER Paul J. Himler, Phoenix, Ariz., assignor to Bruce Macnaughton, Phoenix, Ariz. Filed Jan. 27, 1964, Ser. No. 340,295 1 Claim. (Cl. 248-350) This invention pertains to a bottle holding support device.
This invention pertains to improvements in bottle holders such as shown in my Patent No. 3,029,058, issued April 10, 1962.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a bottle holder support device particularly adapted to position hard-to-hold bottles so that their contents can be easily removed for application and use.
Another object is to provide a bottle holder especially adapted to hold bottles containing sticky and viscous materials such, for example, as used in cosmotologists parlors and the like.
It is a further object to provide a holder having a specially constructed base which will receive and hold in locked condition small hard-to-hold bottles without affecting the proper firm flat seating of the base of the device on a table surface.
Another object is to provide a bottle holder having a stable semi-flexible base which will cling to smooth surfaces while the top of the bottle holder is provided with a pliant flexible material which will recieve and resiliently hold various shapes of bottles and keep them from spilling and to hold them at an angle so that a brush or wick may be inserted through the neck of the bottle to the bottom in a substantially horizontal direction.
Still another object is to provide a bottle holder having a comparatively hard specially recessed base of yieldable material and an integral upright hollow holder on its upper face adapted to receive and hold bottles containing sticky viscous fluids in a manner so that they will not be accidentally upset, the upright hollow holder being so arranged that the bottles may be held in a vertical position or at any desired angle to the horizontal to enable the user to have access to fluid substances in the bottom of said bottle.
Further features and advantages of this invention will appear from a detailed description of the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bottle holder incorporating the features of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a side elevation of the bottle holder shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a front elevation of the bottle holder shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the bottle holder shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a sectional View on the line 5-5 of FIG. 3.
The bottle holder of this invention comprises an oval 0r eliptical shaped base as viewed from above FIG. 4, and is constructed of yieldable pliant material. The base has a recess or cavity 11 around the edge of which is formed the downwardly projecting support rib 12 having the abutment surface 13 adapted to engage the top surface 14 of a table 15 or the like to form a diaphragm 16 having an under surface 17 and a top surface 18, FIG. 5.
Upstanding from the base 10 is the integral bottle holding element 19 having a substantially oblique or scalene conical shape having an oval base 20 of juncture with the top surface 21 of the base 10 of substantially the same oval shape, as viewed from above, FIG. 4, as the base 10. A bottle holding cavity 22 is formed within the oblique cone 19 above the top surface 18 of the diaphragm 16 having a sloping circular opening 23 sloping through which the bottle 24 to be held is initially inserted in vertical position as shown in FIG. 2.
Extending downwardly from the lower end 25 of the sloping circular opening 23 is the bottle gripping slot 26 having the bottle engaging side edges 27, the opening 23 and slot 26 forming a sloping keyhole shaped Opening for the cavity 22 as viewed from above, FIG. 4.
When the bottle 24, FIG. 5, is tilted forwardly when in use, the bottom 28 of the bottle engage the top surface 18 of the diaphram 16 at the point 29 deflecting the diaphragm 16 at 30, but because of the cavity 11, not sutficient to engage the table top 14 which would render the support rib abutment contact therewith unstable. The bottom 28 of the bottle also engages the bottle holder element at the point 31 slightly deflecting it at that point so the bottom of the actually pinched between the points 30 and 31 for rigid semi-holding of the same.
Further, as the bottle is swung down for vertical position, the engaging side edges 27 of the slot 26 grip the sides of the bottle at the points 32 for rigid and secure holding of the bottle 24 adjacent its neck. Thus, a three-point gripping and support 36141-32 is provided for the bottle when in use in tipped-over position.
While the apparatus herein disclosed and described constitutes a preferred form of the invention, it is also to be understood that the apparatus is capable of mechanical alteration without departing from the spirit of the invention and that such mechanical arrangement and commercial adaptation as fall within the scope of the appendent claim are intended to be included herein.
Having thus fully set forth and described this invention what is claimed and desired to be obtained by United States Letters Patent is:
A bottle holder comprising in combination:
(a) an oval base of yieldable'pliant material,
(b) a downwardly projecting support rib formed around the periphery of said base encompassing a cavity therein,
(c) a deflectable diaphram closing the top of said cavity and forming an integral part of said base,
(d) an upstanding integral oblique conical bottle holding element upstanding from said base above said diaphram having a bottle holding cavity formed therein,
(e) a sloping circular opening in the upper end of said bottle holding element communicating with the bottle holding cavity therein,
4 a (f) a downwardly and forwardly sloping bottle grip- References Cited by the Examiner ping slot merging withthe lowerportion of said UNITED STATES PATENTS sloping circular opening and extending downwardly toward the base of said bottle holding element, ggig (g) and bottle engaging edges in said slot adapted 5 3929:0555 4/1962 Himler to engage opposite sides of the bottle when in tipped position adjacent the neck thereof when said diaphram and bottle holding elements are deflected to FOREIGN, PATENTS engage opposite edges of the bottom of said bottle 532342 7/195? to provide a four points-gripping and support of said 10 35 8/193 Great Bntam' bottle in said holder, CLAUDE A. LE ROY, Primary Examiner.
