DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Para lograr los objetivos indicados en el anterior apartado, la invención consiste en un envase que integra varias botellas independientes en un único cuerpo que presenta continuidad geométrica y en el que se pueden distinguir varios tramos funcionales.To achieve the objectives indicated in the previous section, the invention consists of a package that integrates several independent bottles in a single body that has geometric continuity and in which several functional sections can be distinguished.
El inferior de dichos tramos es el cuerpo de una botella inferior que superiormente conecta con un tramo intermedio o anillo que es un nexo de unión entre esta botella inferior y una botella siguiente que normalmente será la botella superior.The lower part of said sections is the body of a lower bottle that superiorly connects with an intermediate section or ring that is a link between this lower bottle and a next bottle that will normally be the upper bottle.
Según distintas realizaciones, este tramo intermedio puede ejercer funciones de tapón de la botella inferior, o bien la botella inferior puede presentar su propio tapón independiente del referido tramo intermedio.According to different embodiments, this intermediate section may act as a stopper for the lower bottle, or the lower bottle may have its own stopper independent of said intermediate section.
En cualquier caso, el tramo intermedio o anillo presenta en su extremo inferior medios de unión con la parte superior de la botella inferior y presenta en su extremo superior medios de unión con la parte inferior de la botella siguiente o superior que se ubica sobre el referido anillo. Estos medios de unión pueden ser por clipado, roscado, bayoneta, salto elástico o similares. Los medios de unión del extremo inferior del anillo pueden ser del mismo o de diferente tipo que los medios de unión de su extremo superior.In any case, the intermediate section or ring has, at its lower end, connection means with the upper part of the lower bottle and presents at its upper end means of connection with the lower part of the next or upper bottle that is located on the said one. ring. These joining means can be by clipping, tapping, bayonet, elastic jump or the like. The joining means of the lower end of the ring may be the same or different type as the joining means of its upper end.
En todos los casos este anillo o tramo intermedio proporciona una unión estable entre la botella inferior y la siguiente, dando además una continuidad geométrica al conjunto.In all cases this ring or intermediate section provides a stable union between the lower and the next bottle, also giving a geometric continuity to the whole.
Para facilitar esta continuidad geométrica el anillo presentará una forma acorde con las geometrías de las botellas y será preferentemente cilindrico o troncocó- nico, aunque no se descartan otros tipos de geometrías.To facilitate this geometric continuity, the ring will have a shape according to the geometries of the bottles and will preferably be cylindrical or truncated, although other types of geometries are not ruled out.
La botella que se encuentra sobre el anillo o tramo intermedio dispondrá de un tapón determinante normalmente del extremo superior del envase, aunque según diferentes realizaciones, dicha botella podrá conectar a su vez y superiormente con otro anillo o tramo intermedio que la conecte a otra botella, y así sucesivamente hasta que se agrupe el número de botellas previsto. No obstante, la realización preferente de la invención se efectúa únicamente con dos botellas, una superior y otra inferior. A continuación, para facilitar una mejor comprensión de esta memoria descriptiva y formando parte integrante de la misma, se acompañan unas figuras en las que con carácter ilustrativo y no limitativo se ha representado el objeto de la invención. BREVE DESCRIPCIÓN DE LAS FIGURASThe bottle that is on the intermediate ring or section will have a determining cap normally of the upper end of the container, although according to different embodiments, said bottle may in turn and superiorly connect with another ring or intermediate section that connects it to another bottle, and so on until the expected number of bottles is grouped.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE UN EJEMPLO DE REALIZACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF AN EXAMPLE OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
Seguidamente se realiza una descripción de un ejemplo de la invención, haciendo referencia a la numeración adoptada en las figuras. Así, el envase de este ejemplo de realización cuenta con una botella inferior 1 que presenta una capacidad de 500 mi. y una sección transversal circular que se va afinando ligera y progresivamente hacia arriba.Next, a description of an example of the invention is made, referring to the numbering adopted in the figures. Thus, the package of this embodiment has a lower bottle 1 that has a capacity of 500 ml. and a circular cross section that is tuned lightly and progressively upwards.
Dicha botella inferior 1 dispone de un estrecho tapón superior 2, bajo el cual y en proximidad del cuerpo principal de la botella 1 hay un canal peri étricoSaid lower bottle 1 has a narrow upper cap 2, under which and in the vicinity of the main body of the bottle 1 there is a perimeter channel
3 que facilita la conexión con un anillo o tramo intermedio3 that facilitates connection with an intermediate ring or section
4.Four.
Este tramo intermedio 4 presenta en proximidad de su borde inferior e internamente unos resaltes 5 susceptibles de encajar por salto elástico en el canal perimétrico 3 de la botella inferior 1, de manera que una vez que se ha producido el correspondiente encaje se da una continuidad entre la superficie del cuerpo principal de la botella inferior 1 y la superficie del anillo 4, tal y como se muestra en la figura 1.This intermediate section 4 has projections 5 in the vicinity of its lower edge and internally susceptible to fit by elastic jump in the perimetric channel 3 of the lower bottle 1, so that once the corresponding fit has been produced there is a continuity between the surface of the main body of the lower bottle 1 and the surface of the ring 4, as shown in Figure 1.
Además, el tramo intermedio o anillo 4 presenta en proximidad de su borde superior e internamente otros resaltes 6 que facilitan un encaje a bayoneta con la parte inferior de una botella superior 7. Así, dicha parte inferior de la botella superior 7 cuenta con unos resaltes en "L" 8 complementarios a los resaltes 6 del anillo 4 en el encaje a bayoneta. Una vez efectuado el encaje de tipo bayoneta, también se da continuidad entre la superficie del anillo 4 y la superficie del cuerpo principal de la botella superior 7, tal y como se ilustra en la figura 1.In addition, the intermediate section or ring 4 has in proximity of its upper edge and internally other projections 6 that facilitate a bayonet fitting with the lower part of an upper bottle 7. Thus, said part Bottom of the upper bottle 7 has "L" 8 projections complementary to the projections 6 of the ring 4 in the bayonet socket. Once the bayonet type fit is made, continuity is also given between the surface of the ring 4 and the surface of the main body of the upper bottle 7, as illustrated in Figure 1.
La botella superior 6 presenta en este ejemplo una capacidad de 250 mi. y una sección transversal circular. Sobre el gollete de esta botella superior 7 se acopla por roscado un ancho tapón 9 cilindrico que da continuidad por la zona de arriba a la superficie del cuerpo principal de la botella superior 7, tal y como muestra la figura 1. Con esta configuración se consigue un envase presentable como una sola pieza que sin embargo incluye dos botellas 1 y 7 independientes y separables cuando así se desee . The upper bottle 6 in this example has a capacity of 250 ml. and a circular cross section. A wide cylindrical cap 9 is threaded onto the neck of this upper bottle 7 which gives continuity through the upper area to the surface of the main body of the upper bottle 7, as shown in Figure 1. This configuration achieves this a presentable container as a single piece that however includes two independent and separable bottles 1 and 7 whenever desired.
