Abstract

The invention relates to the design of bottles for liquids that are usually consumed in small, arbitrary portions, namely alcoholic beverages, as well as edible oils, sauces, syrups, etc. In the bottle for liquid, which has a hollow body with a bottom and a neck with a tip located outside and below the upper end of the neck and exceeding its diameter, according to the inventive concept, the neck has a conical chamfer on the inside, which in the working position serves as a diffuser for the dosed liquid. This makes it possible to interrupt the flow of liquid from the side surface of the neck when pouring out each new portion of the liquid from the bottle. This makes it much easier to interrupt the flow after the next portion has been dispensed.

Description

A BOTTLE FOR LIQUID

Field of technology

The invention relates to the design of bottles for liquids that are usually consumed in small, arbitrary volume portions, namely alcoholic beverages, as well as edible oils, sauces, syrups, etc.

Prior art

It is well known that liquid is released from an uncorked bottle mainly in portions. The portion is formed by tilting the bottle to form a flow of liquid that runs from the inner volume of the bottle to the outside. The rate of liquid release from the bottle depends on the cross- sectional area of the flow and the density of the liquid. To interrupt the release of liquid, the bottle is moved to a nearly vertical position. Under these conditions, a portion of the liquid flows out of the bottleneck during the dispensing of each new portion. In all cases, this leads to irreversible loss of liquid, which, when the bottle is moved to a vertical position, will pour out of the bottle by inertia until the neck is higher than the level of liquid in the bottle. The liquid that spills out of the bottle by inertia gets on the outer surface of the bottle and contaminates it.

A technical solution is known from the prior art under Japanese patent document JP2020097428A, which describes a bottle for liquid having a hollow body with a bottom and a neck with a tip located below the upper end of the neck and exceeding its diameter.

Unfortunately, this shape of the neck does not effectively interrupt the flow after the next portion of the liquid is dispensed and, accordingly, does not prevent contamination of the outer surface of the bottle.

The brief of the invention

The invention is based on the task of improving the geometric shape of the neck to create a bottle for liquid that is suitable for effective interruption of the flow after the next portion of the liquid is stopped and, accordingly, to prevent contamination of the outer surface of the bottle. This task is solved due to the fact that a bottle for liquid, having a hollow body with a bottom and a neck with a tip located outside and below the upper end of the neck and exceeding it in diameter, according to the inventive concept, the neck has a conical chamfer from the inside, which in the working position serves as a diffuser for the dispensed liquid.

This makes it possible, when pouring out each next portion of liquid from the bottle to interrupt the flow from the side of the neck. This makes it much easier to interrupt the flow when the next portion is no longer dispensed.

The first additional difference is that the chamfer has a conical shape, and the cone surface is inclined to the symmetry axis of the neck at an angle a of 20° to 50°. In this range of angles, the most effective interruption of the flow occurs.

The second additional difference is that the neck has an annular groove between its upper end and the upper end of the tip. This makes it easier to catch the last drops when the liquid flow is interrupted. The presence of only the outer ring on the existing tips does not give the desired result. The effect is achieved when the outer ring is combined with an inner chamfer. The transition between the end of the tip and the annular groove has the shape of a cone and is formed by an angle £ in the range of 15°.

Brief description of the drawings

Further, the essence of the invention is explained by a detailed description of its construction and features of use with reference to the attached drawings, which are shown in:

Fig. - a bottle for liquid (in a longitudinal section of the plane of symmetry with the lower part conditionally removed).

The following notations are used in the attached drawing:

DI - outer diameter of the tip,

D2 - inner diameter of the annular groove,

Bl - the height of the chamfer in the inner part of the bottleneck,

B2 - the height of the cone in the upper part of the tip from the top of the annular groove to the top of the tip, a - the angle of tilt of the chamfer cone's forming surface to the symmetry axis of the neck,

P - the angle of transition between the end of the tip and the annular groove having the shape of a cone.

The best options for implementing an inventive idea

When the bottle is tilted, the neck is lowered to the level of the liquid inside the bottle. As soon as the neck chamfer reaches the position of the liquid level in the bottle, the liquid begins to flow out of the bottle. The liquid will flow around the chamfer and onto the end of the tip. When the bottle is placed in an upright position, the end of the tip will cut off the flow and the liquid will stop flowing out of the bottle. At the same time, the part of the liquid that continues to flow out of the bottle by inertia will fall into the annular groove. This reduces liquid spillage to virtually zero and prevents contamination of the outer surface of the bottle.

1. Increase in the angle a, which forms a chamfer and reduces the pouring edge, which contributes to the smooth flow of liquid from the bottle.

2. The greater the angle , the less likely it is that the liquid will stick to the bottle.

3. The greater the diameter difference between DI and D2, the less likely it is that the liquid will spread around the bottleneck.

4. With increasing angles a and p, as well as reducing the diameter of D2 to the diameter of DI, the design becomes the most effective, which has been proven in practice.

Industrial applicability

The proposed bottle for liquid, suitable for the portioned pouring of various products, can be mass-produced using existing glass and thermoplastic processing equipment. This design does not increase the weight of the bottle and therefore does not increase the price.
