Description

BOTTLE CAP WITH HOLDER

The technical solution with priority according to application No. RU 2022105724, dated 03.03.2022, refers to lids or caps for containers, containers for storing liquids, mainly plastic and / or other bottles used for storing, carrying and consuming various liquids, such as water, juices, beer and other beverages, oils, detergents and cosmetics, paints, varnishes and solvents, other liquid food, household and industrial products.

At present, for bottling various liquids, in addition to ordinary glass bottles, the use of thin-walled plastic bottles with a capacity of 0.25 to 10 liters, made of polyethylene terephthalate, has become widespread. Plastic bottles, as a rule, are disposable, i.e. they are used once for bottling a liquid, and after being emptied they are disposed of without refilling into the same bottle.

Bottles, as a rule, are sealed with screw caps made of polymeric material, in particular, polyethylene [1]. Such covers are very widespread, used in large quantities and have standard sizes. Lids, stoppers, caps are designed for PET bottles, vials, jars. They are made with a control ring and thread, with internal serifs for closure. Cap material: PE, PP, HDPE. The most popular models are 24, 28, 35, 38 mm and 45 mm in diameter for the neck type: BPF, PCO. The throat of the lids is low and high, 1 and 2-component.

It is noteworthy that bottles with a capacity of 0.25 to 3 liters are closed with lids of the same design, the threaded neck of the bottles and the lids are made of the same geometry and dimensions. Bottles with a capacity of 3 to 10 liters may have caps of a similar design, but with different dimensions.

Caps for a sports bottle [2], [3] are known, equipped with a flip-down (on a leash or jumper) cap that closes the hole in the cap, made for drinking liquid through the cap, without unscrewing it. However, such sports caps are used for drinking through the cap, they are not intended for pouring liquid through the neck of the bottle and have a channel under the cap that is much smaller than the diameter of the neck.

The caps do not contain any means to hold onto the bottle. The cap for the bottle, both regular and sports, is made separately and is a free element, i.e. the cap is not connected to the bottle. In this regard, there is a common problem that after unscrewing the cap from the neck of the bottle, in order to dispense liquid from the bottle, the cap needs to be retained in order to allow the bottle to be closed later. For example, for those cases where some of the liquid remains in the bottle. However, the bottle does not include storage space for the cap. The user, having unscrewed the cap, is forced to look for a place to store it, until the cap is screwed back onto the bottle. Typically, the lid is held in the hand while the liquid is dispensed, or placed on the nearest free surface, clothing pockets, etc. Holding the lid in the hand is inconvenient for the user. Storing in pockets is not always possible, as clothing does not necessarily contain free pockets. Free surfaces suitable for cap storage are not always found near the liquid pouring point. Often the cover is lost, dirty, falls to the ground. If the cap is in the hand, it prevents the user from pouring liquid from the bottle.

Thus, there is a problem of storing the bottle cap after it has been unscrewed.

Known holder for hanging a plastic bottle [4]. The holder contains the first part in the form of a ring, and the second part in the form of a strip extending radially. The holder is made in the form of a solid part of a polymeric material with a hole that is put on the throat before passing beyond the radial annular ledge (belt on the neck of the bottle). The strip is made with a section bent parallel to the axis of the ring. The holder is made in one piece from a polymeric material with the possibility of elastic deformation of at least the inner part of the ring in the direction of expansion of the minimum diameter of the surface described by the inner surface of the ring.

The holder provides the possibility of attaching a plastic bottle to a belt or other suitable item of clothing, however, it is not intended for attaching a bottle cap, is not connected to the cap, and is not capable of holding the cap. The technical solution provides for the manufacture of the holder directly together with the bottle in order to give the bottle the ability to hang it on a person's clothes. However, the holder does not provide the possibility of fixing the cap removed from the neck of the bottle.

Known holder of a set of bottles [5]. The holder of a set of bottles with a protruding annular belt on the neck, containing a handle and bottle holding units, characterized in that the bottle holding units are made in the form of at least two C-shaped grippers located at the ends of the handle with predominantly symmetrically protruding end protrusions C- shaped clamps-captures, made with the possibility of their elastic deformation at the moments of insertion of the bottle necks into the C-shaped brackets-captures or removal of the necks of the bottles from the C-shaped brackets-captures and returning to their original position after the bottle necks move inside the C-shaped brackets-captures or after removing the bottle necks from the C-clamps.

The holder does not provide the possibility of fixing the cap removed from the neck of the bottle on the bottle.

Known plastic polyethylene flask with a holder (strap) for attaching the lid [6]. Bottle cap holder made of two parts connected by a bridge, each part is equipped with a hole, the first hole is made commensurate with the bottle neck, for fitting on the bottle neck, the second hole is made commensurate with the bottle cap, for fitting on the bottle cap.

The disadvantage of this holder is that under normal conditions, without a tool and fixture, it cannot be removed from the bottle with your fingers, and the cap can be removed from it or the reverse procedure can be carried out, insert the cap into the holder or put the holder on the neck of the bottle repeatedly, since it made of hard material. The polyethylene used in the design of the holder does not allow the holes to expand freely and increase the transverse dimension under the action of the load applied to the hole and return to its original size when the load is removed, at an ambient temperature of -40 to +40 degrees Celsius. This does not allow you to freely remove the holder from the bottle in everyday use and install and remove the cap from it. When disposing of bottles, such a holder is difficult to separate from the bottle, and it is also difficult to separate the cap from the holder.

A container with the function of preventing loss and free rotation of the lid is known [7]. It contains a cap holder for fitting on the neck of the bottle, made in the form of a ring, and a jumper connecting the ring to the body of the cap, which ensures that the unscrewed cap is held on the bottle, with the possibility of removing and installing the open cap on the bottle neck. The purpose of the holder of this design is to prevent the separation of the cap from the neck of the bottle, and the separation of the holder from the bottle. The design provides prevention of loss and free turning of a cover.

The disadvantage of this holder is that under normal conditions, without a tool and fixture, it cannot be removed from the bottle with your fingers, and the cap can be removed from it or the reverse procedure can be carried out repeatedly, insert the cap into the holder or put the holder on the neck of the bottle repeatedly, because it the design does not provide such an opportunity, the elements of the holder and the cover are made in one piece with each other and are made of a rigid material. The material used in the design of the holder does not allow the holder holes to expand freely and increase the transverse size under the action of the load applied to the hole and return to the original size when the load is removed, at an ambient temperature of -40 to + 40 degrees Celsius. This does not allow you to freely remove the holder from the bottle in everyday use and install and remove the cap from it. When disposing of bottles, such a holder is difficult to separate from the bottle, and it is also difficult to separate the cap from the holder. The design does not provide free turning and removal of the cover.

The problem with known holders is that they don't provide the ability to repeatedly:

freely separate the holder from the bottle with your fingers, remove it from the neck of the bottle, and place the holder back on the neck of the same or another bottle;

freely remove the lid from the holder with your fingers, and place the lid back into the holder, the same or different;

turn freely and remove the cover.

It is difficult to remove the holder cap from the neck of a bottle, for example for disposal, or to use the holder cap on another bottle. This drawback is due to the fact that the first part of the holder is made in the form of an integral ring for fitting on the neck of the bottle. The ring is mounted on the neck only from the top of the bottle and cannot be installed from the side, which limits the possibility of using the cap in various conditions.

The technical solution makes it possible to connect the cap to the bottle, and the cap can be freely unscrewed from the neck and, if necessary, detached from the bottle. The holder allows you to freely unscrew the cap, and after unscrewing the cap from the neck of the bottle, to dispense liquid from the bottle, hold the cap to ensure its temporary storage and use for the subsequent closing of the bottle. The user who unscrews the cap is not forced to look for a place to store it until the cap is screwed back onto the bottle. There is no need to hold the lid in your hand while the liquid is poured, or to place the lid on the nearest free surface, in the pockets of your clothes. Reduces the risk of cap loss, unintentional contamination.

A cap for a bottle with a holder containing an element for fitting on the neck of the bottle, made in the form of a ring, and a jumper connecting the ring to the body of the cap, the ring is open and equipped with a locking mechanism for fixing the ends of the open ring, parts of which are located at the ends.

A cap for a bottle with a holder with a capacity of 0.25 to 10 liters is made of a polymeric material, and the locking mechanism of the ends is made in the form of mating protrusions and holes located at the ends. It is provided that one part of the locking mechanism is made in the form of a notch, forming teeth at one end, and the second part is in the form of a groove made at the second end, mating with the teeth.

It is provided that the cap for the bottle is made threaded, the first part of the holder is made in the form of a ring, the ring is made proportionate to the neck of the bottle and is intended for fitting on the neck of the bottle.

It is provided that the bottle cap holder is made with a hole with the possibility of elastic deformation of the inner surface of the hole.

It is provided that the cap for the bottle has a size of 24, 28, 35, 38 mm and 45 mm in diameter for the neck type: BPF, PCO.

The technical problem is to provide the possibility of installing the holder ring on the neck both on top and on the side of the bottle neck.

The problem is solved by the fact that for a cap for a bottle with a holder containing an element for fitting on the neck of the bottle, made in the form of a ring, and a jumper connecting the ring to the body of the cap, the ring is open and equipped with a locking mechanism for fixing the ends of the open ring, parts of which are located at the ends.

The technical result consists in providing the possibility of installing the holder ring on the neck both from above and from the side of the bottle neck.

Ring 1 is open (open), with a connector 2, and a jumper 3 is connected to the body 4 of the cap. The ends 6 of the open ring 1 converge at the place of the connector 2, so that when the neck is put on the neck of the bottle, the neck is installed in the hole 5 of the ring 1, the ends 6 diverge from each other in opposite directions, while being elastically deformed and compressing the neck of the bottle.

The locking mechanism 7 ends 6 is made in the form of a collar. One part of the locking mechanism 7 is made in the form of a notch, forming teeth at one end 6, and the second part is in the form of a groove made at the second end 6, mating with the teeth.

Description of use

Capped bottle, used like any other capped bottle. The presence of a holder connected by a jumper 3 to the body 4 of the cap allows you to store (hold) the cap turned away from the neck on the bottle. The bottle cap holder is mounted on the neck of the bottle and fixed with a locking mechanism 7. The cap with a hole 5 is put on the neck before passing beyond the radial annular protrusion (the belt on the bottle neck) or the radial annular protrusion. The ends 6 with parts of the locking mechanism 7 are connected to each other, providing a strong fixation of the ends 6 of the open ring 1. In this case, the holder can be placed on the neck (wound on the neck) both from above and from the side. Ring 1 is connected by a flexible bridge 3 to the body of the cap 4. The length of the bridge allows you to freely unscrew the cap from the neck and screw it back. To open the bottle, the cap is unscrewed, and the holder does not prevent the cap from being unscrewed, the ring 1 rotates freely on the neck when the body 4 of the cap rotates on the neck. The cap unscrewed from the neck is held by the holder on the bottle. The cap remains attached to the bottle and no other storage space is required. The cap with the holder is installed on the neck of the bottle, while the holder does not interfere with the unscrewing and tightening of the cap, holding the cap, thereby deciding where to put the cap when opening the bottle. Thanks to the use of a lid with a holder, the lid will not be lost, will not fall to the floor (ground) and will not need to be placed in a pocket or anywhere, or handed over to someone, hold it, if liquid is spilled.

On a bottle, or other similar product, with a neck, the holder is installed (pushed) from the side or from above, setting the neck into the hole 5 of the holder, while the locking mechanism 7 does not allow, in case of accidental unintentional load, to pull the holder off the neck by separating the ends 6 of the ring 1.

The elastic properties of the ends 6 and the locking mechanism 7 ensure that the bottle is kept permanently inside the ring 1.

The cap with the holder (example 1 and example 2), due to the possibility of multiple installation and removal, fixing the locking mechanism 7, can be used repeatedly on different bottles, by replacing the cap, reinstalling from one bottle to another.

In addition, when disposing of bottles, if necessary, it is possible to easily separate the cap from the bottle without the use of special tools.

The claimed technical solution is implemented using materials produced by the industry, and can be used for its intended purpose.

The proposed technical solution can be implemented using industrially produced devices and materials, its elements can be manufactured and assembled both handicraft and at modern industrial enterprises.
