Description

Areas of technique

The subject of the invention is a container with a handle that has a special shape that enables it to be used as a packaging container for storing and transporting liquids from which the contents can be consumed. According to the design and functional properties, the container with a handle is classified into rigid or semi-rigid packaging containers made of one piece and beverage containers as a type of tableware and equipment. In terms of functional and aesthetic properties, the container with handle can equally serve as a bottle for packaging liquids and as a container for consuming packaged liquids.

According to the International Classification of Patents, the invention belongs to the following areas of technology:

- B 65 D 001/02 Bottles or similar containers with necks or similar narrow openings for pouring the contents,

- A 47 G 019/22 Drinking vessels or saucers for tableware,

- B 65 D 023/10 Handles of bottles or jars.

Technical problem

Modern rigid and semi-rigid packaging containers in the form of bottles mainly serve as containers for storing and transporting liquids. The primary purpose of these containers is the transport and storage of liquids. That is why they have a small ratio of the diameter of the outlet opening in relation to the mean diameter of the cross section of the tank body. Some versions of these containers have handles or a part of the container body shaped to facilitate the handling and handling of the container. These packaging containers are not intended for consumption of the contents of the container by drinking through the pouring and pouring opening.

Modern drinking vessels in the form of glasses, jugs, mugs, goblets, mugs and other forms are mainly used as vessels into which liquids are poured, which are then consumed by drinking. That's why they have a diameter of the spout equal to or greater than the average diameter of the cross-section of the body of the drinking vessel. Some versions of these containers also have handles or part of the body shaped to make it easier to grip and handle. The primary purpose of these vessels is the consumption of liquids by drinking, and their secondary purpose is their storage and transportation.

The storage and transportation of liquids and their consumption caused the development of two different types of products with exclusive applications in close succession. In very few examples, there are packaging container solutions that can also serve as drinking containers. Versions of such containers have a narrow field of application related to a specific type of liquid or pasty food products. As packaging containers, they have a one-time use, and as drinking containers, they have a short service life. Since they are non-returnable containers with one-time use but with an extended life as drinking vessels, they are usually made of cheap materials and have low design and aesthetic properties.

The container with a handle according to the invention solves the technical problem of making an appealing product that meets the purpose of an economical and durable returnable container for storing and transporting liquids and the purpose of an economical and durable container for consuming its contents.

State of the art

There are different designs of dual-purpose containers on today's market. These are high-volume products made mainly of glass or polymer materials whose construction solutions do not offer a wide range of applications. These are usually drinking vessels in the form of glasses, jugs, mugs and mugs in which certain food products or beverages are packaged. These containers serve as disposable packaging products that can be used as cheap drinking containers for a short time.

Patent DE 4130320 describes a polymer beverage container for cyclists which is attached by gluing to the bicycle frame. The body of the tank is designed to allow easy installation and removal from the bicycle frame with one hand. Filling the tank is done through the oil hole after removing the cover, and consuming the contents is done through a tube that comes out of the tank cover. The described container has a narrow field of application. It is not applicable as a high-volume reusable product in the food and soft drink and beer industries.

US patent 5320231 describes a polymer container for the elderly that serves to store and drink beverages. The container has a cylindrical body with an opening for handling the container and a filling and emptying opening closed by a screw cap. Thanks to the relatively large opening for filling, it is possible to consume the contents of the container by drinking. The low aesthetic properties of the shape of this container also did not allow a wider application of this container as a high-volume reusable product in the food and beverage industry.

The essence of invention

The tank according to the invention solves the technical problem of constructing an attractive, simple and economical tank for storing and transporting liquids and consuming liquids by drinking. The tank basically has the shape of a one-piece barrel with a handle that is reminiscent of drinking vessels for beer, wine, fruit juices and other beverages. The relatively large opening of the container is closed with a single-use cap without thread or a reusable cap with thread. A single-use lid folded over the outer edge of the opening is opened by lifting or tearing the lid. Closing and opening the container with a reusable lid is done by winding and unscrewing the lid from the threads made on the inner layer of the container opening.

The barrel shape of the container with a handle is a fundamental property that opens up the possibility of its permanent dual purpose until it breaks or is destroyed. The container is equally applicable as a returnable reusable bottle for storing and transporting liquids and as a container for drinking its contents. Thanks to the hygienic and functional closing solution, the container can be used as a mug, jug or glass from which the contents of the container can be drunk immediately after opening the lid. The interior of the container is easy to clean through a relatively large opening, which makes it a practical and aesthetic table, permanently usable, household and catering accessory.

Performance and application descriptions

Tank 1 with handle 2 is a barrel-like hollow body with an approximately uniform wall thickness composed of parts of regular geometric hollow bodies in which a cavity 3 is made for holding handle 2. Both versions of the tank with handle have the same basic shape determined by the shape of the outer shell of tank 1 and handle 2. The outer shell of the container 1 and handle 2 consists of part 4, which is formed by an axisymmetric surface composed of parts of the shell of regular geometric bodies, and part 5, which is formed by the penetration of the roller into the shell 4.

Part 4 of the outer shell consists of a circular concave surface 6 of the bottom of the container 1, which passes through the rounding 7 into the shell 8 of a low vertical circular roller whose height is about seven times smaller than the diameter of its base. Through the slight rounding 9, the mantle 10 of the lower barrel-shaped surface, which is formed by the rotation of a circular arc of a large radius around the central axis O, continues to the mantle 8 of the low vertical circular roller. The diameter of the lower base of the lower barrel-shaped surface is equal to the diameter of the base of the low upright circular roller, on which it continues and the diameter the diameter of its upper base is larger than the diameter of its lower base by 20-30%. The height of the lower barrel-shaped surface is slightly smaller than the radius of its lower base. Over the slight rounding 11, the mantle 12 of the vertical circular roller, whose base diameter is equal to the diameter of the upper base of the lower barrel-shaped surface, continues to the shell 10 of the lower barrel-shaped surface. The height of the vertical circular roller is smaller than the diameter of its base by approximately 40%. Over the slight rounding 11, the mantle 10 of the upper barrel-shaped surface, which is equal to the layer 10 of the lower barrel-shaped surface rotated by 180°, continues to the mantle 12 of the upright circular roller. Over the slight rounding 9, the mantle 13 of the low upright circular roller, the base diameter of which is equal to the diameter of the upper base of the upper barrel surface, continues to the mantle 10 of the upper barrel-shaped surface. The height of this low upright circular roller is about four times the diameter of its base. On the mantle 13, the crown 14 of the opening continues. In the version of the container with threads 15 on the inner layer of the opening, the crown 14 is made as a low cylindrical ring, the outer diameter of which is slightly larger than the diameter of the base of the low upright circular roller to which it continues, and the height is less than a tenth of its outer diameter. In the version of the tank without thread, the crown 14 is designed as a semicircular ring of small diameter on the outer edge of the opening.

The cavity 3 in the described outer shell 4 is formed by the penetration of the roller into the shell 4 so that a part 5 of the outer shell is formed which is located inside the rotational surface formed by its derivative. The part 5 of the outer shell consists of a part 16 which was formed by the penetration of a roller having a central axis parallel to the central axis O into one half of the shell 4. The diameter of the roller that makes the penetration is slightly larger than the diameter of the circle described around the human hand with half-bent fingers of an adult human and its height is approximately equal to the width of the palm of an adult man. Part 16 is connected on the sides with the mantle 4 to parts of the mantle 17 that belong to cylindrical surfaces of small radii and on the lower and upper part with the handle 2 to segments of the mantle 18 that belong to annular surfaces whose circle diameter is approximately equal to the thickness of the palm of an adult.

Lever 2 is a full vertical support connected to tank 1. It is located within the contours of outer casing 4. The cross-sectional profile of lever 2 has a triangular shape. The sheath 4 forms the outer surface 19 of the handle 2, and the two flat surfaces 20 that mutually close a right angle form its inner surfaces. The tips of the triangular section of handle 2 are rounded. The handle 2 forms a single body with the container 1 by being made by casting or pressing technology in the same tool, or is inseparably connected to the container 1 by other methods of gluing or shaping the glass.

The position of the handle 2 in relation to the container l determines its overall external appearance.

Figures 1.1 to 1.8 show the design of the container with a handle located in the central part of the container l, whose ends are equidistant from the bottom or the opening of the container 1. Both ends of the handle 2 are connected to the casing 4 of the container 1.

Figures 2.1 to 2.6 show the design of the container with the handle located in the central and lower part of the container 1. In this design, the upper end of the handle 2 is connected to the cover 4 of the container 1, and the lower end is connected to the bottom of the container 1.

The cavity 3 between the container 1 and the handle 2 is a space into which the hand of an adult man with four fingers folded and half-bent can be inserted in order to grasp the handle 2. When the inner tip of the triangular shape of the handle 2 comes into one of the folds of the fingers of the hand, the handle can be grasped with the fingers of the hand and thumb so that the container l with the handle 2 does not have the possibility of rotation around the axis of the handle in a closed fist. The rounded edges of the cavity 3 and the position of the handle 2 in relation to the center of gravity of the filled container 1 ensure comfortable and reliable handling of the handle container as a packaging container and as a drinking container.

Container 1 is closed with a reusable screw cap or a disposable cap folded over the rim on the outer edge of the opening.

Figure 1.6 shows cover 21 with threads 15 and Figure 1.7 container 1 with threads 15 on the inner layer of the opening that is closed by cover 21. Threads 15 on cover 21 and container 1 are made as steep multi-threads for more reliable closure and a small angle of rotation of the cover 20. The screw connection with threads 15 on the inner layer of the opening of the container 1 enables drinking the contents of the container 1 without unpleasant contact of the lips with the threads 15. This method of closing enables the use of the container with a handle as a reusable, returnable packaging container and as a permanent and functional drinking container.

Figure 2.5 shows the design of the container 1 with a wreath 14 on the outer edge of the opening closed by a disposable lid 22 folded over the wreath 14. This type of lid is opened by lifting the lid 22 over the wreath 14 or by tearing the edge of the lid 22. The opening of the container 1 with a semicircular wreath 14 it also enables comfortable drinking of the contents of container 1 as a permanent and functional drinking container, and the closing method of using the container with a handle as a reusable, returnable packaging container.

Both methods of closing the container can be applied to the design of the container with the handle located only in the central part of the container and to the design of the container with the handle located in the central and lower part of the container.

The dimensions of the handle 2 and cavity 3 are determined by the dimensions of an adult's hand. The useful volume of tank 1 can be different. The optimal usable volume is from 0.33 liters to 1 liter. To enable drinking from the container, the diameter of the opening must be several times larger than the standard diameters of the bottle openings, but smaller than the largest diameter of the cylindrical part of the container 1.

The described versions of containers with a handle can be used in the food and beverage industry as permanent returnable containers for storing and transporting liquid and semi-liquid products such as wine, beer, fruit juices, mineral waters, various food items made of fruits, vegetables, grains and other food products.

The described versions of the container with a handle can also be used in catering and household as a mug, jug or glass. It is possible to drink industrially packaged drinks from this type of beverage container immediately after opening the lid. Ergonomically, functionally and attractively designed, these containers can also serve as permanently usable table accessories for pouring and drinking alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
