Definitions

  • the bottles are usually stored in a horizontal position in racks which form at least two supports on which the body of the bottle rests.
  • the neck is thus completely free and it is ensured that the liquid contained in the bottle is permanently in contact with the cap of the latter.
  • the racks have a relatively large size since it must correspond to the entire length of the bottle and occupy the same place whether full or empty.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a bottle holder which has a very small footprint while allowing effective maintenance of a large number of bottles and easy reading of their labels.
  • the subject of this invention is in fact a support for bottles comprising at least one elongated, rigid profile, and at least one device for holding the neck of a bottle mounted on this or these profiles, formed by a rear support and a directed front support. in the opposite direction, offset in height and spaced from each other by a distance less than the length of a normal glass bottle neck, characterized in that at least one of the rear and front supports is formed by a curved member which is carried by a fixing member to the profile, and is inclined laterally and downward relative to the plane of this profile so that the neck of the bottle is directed upwards.
  • the front and rear supports of the successive holding devices are offset laterally alternately to the left and to the right.
  • the bottles are held only by their neck and the holding devices have a length less than that of the normal neck of a bottle.
  • the support therefore has an extremely small footprint while the tilting of the bottles ensures both the solidity of their fixing and the ease of reading the labels.
  • the bottle support comprises several profiles assembled two by two and each provided with holding devices.
  • Each profile fitted with holding devices can be assembled by crosspieces to other similar profiles and thus constitute a complete storage installation.
  • the support is therefore suitable for various uses and can adapt to the shape and size of the storage room.
  • a bottle holder according to the invention comprises at least one rigid elongated profile 1 which has at least one longitudinal flat face 2 but can have any desired section, for example a square, rectangular section or preferably, as shown, a U section
  • This profile which can be arranged vertically or horizontally is intended to carry on its longitudinal flat face 2 at least one device for holding the neck of a bottle 4.
  • the holding device 4 in fact comprises a fixing plate 6 which is pierced in each of its angles of a hole 8 for the passage of a screw or the like 10 also passing through a hole 12 of the profile 1, and held securely by means of a nut 14 screwed onto it.
  • a fixing plate 6 which is pierced in each of its angles of a hole 8 for the passage of a screw or the like 10 also passing through a hole 12 of the profile 1, and held securely by means of a nut 14 screwed onto it.
  • a flat and vertical wing 16 substantially perpendicular to the plate 6, which carries at its end remote from this plate a support 18 in the form of a semi-cylindrical cup whose concavity is turned upwards and whose diameter internal corresponds practically to the external diameter of a bottle neck.
  • the cup 18 is fixed to a beveled end of the wing 16 so that it is inclined relative to the horizontal, downwards away from the plate 6.
  • the plate 6 further carries, above the wing 16, an arm 20 parallel to the wing 16 but much shorter.
  • Hanging from this arm 20 is an upper support 22 formed like the support 18 by a semi-cylindrical cup but having its concavity turned downwards.
  • the support 22 is like the support 18 inclined relative to the horizontal downwards away from the plate 6.
  • the axes of the two cups 18 and 22, which are parallel to each other, are inclined laterally relative to the wing 16 and to the arm 20, that is to say to the vertical plane perpendicular to the plate 6.
  • the angle of inclination of the cups 18 and 22 is small, for example of the order of 10 °, while the length of the wing 16 is less than that of the neck of a normal bottle.
  • any glass bottle whether 35 cl, 75 cl or 1 L, can be placed in the holding device as indicated in phantom in FIG. 1 so that its neck rests on its lower part on the cup 22 and at its upper part under the cup 18. It can be seen that the combination of these two supports with the very weight of the bottle ensures that it remains solid whether it is full or empty.
  • the inclination of the bottle is such that the liquid contained therein remains in permanent contact with the stopper.
  • the holding device 4 has an extremely small footprint and that in all cases the bottle can easily be put in place or removed by being manipulated by its heaviest part, that is to say by its body.
  • the profile 1 preferably supports a number of holding devices 4 regularly distributed over its length.
  • the cups 22 and 18 of the successive devices are shifted alternately to the right and to the left so that the bottles placed in these devices move away from each other as they move away from the profile , which gives free access to the bottles and allows them to easily read their labels without moving them.
  • the holding device could comprise a wing 16 and an arm 20 making an appropriate angle with respect to the plate 6 and thus being in the plane of symmetry of the cup which it carries.
  • a wedge-shaped wedge which ensures the desired lateral inclination.
  • Such a wedge can also, like the wedge 24 shown in Figs. 2 and 3, have a substantially triangular section and alone ensure both the lateral offset and the inclination relative to the horizontal.
  • Figs. 2 to 4 illustrate an embodiment of the holding device which includes such a wedge 24 and in which the fixing plate 6 carries two arms respectively 16 and 20 which are perpendicular thereto and consequently receive a lateral inclination and towards the low function of the very shape of the wedge 24.
  • the lower arm 16 carries at its end a flat sidewall 28 in the shape of a crescent whose concavity is turned upwards and whose internal diameter is substantially equal to the external diameter of the neck of a bottle.
  • the shorter upper arm 20 carries at its end a flat sidewall 30 in the shape of a crescent, the concavity of which faces downwards.
  • the sidewall 30 has dimensions similar to those of the sidewall 28 and is like it perpendicular to the arm which carries it, that is to say parallel to the fixing plate 6.
  • each of the arms is reinforced by horizontal ribs 32, 34, connecting it to the plate 6.
  • the holding device thus produced can be mounted on the profile 1 by means of screws as described with reference to FIG. 1 or as shown in Figs. 2 to 4 by means of hooks 36 integral with the wedge 24 and the fixing plate 6 and cooperating with slots 38 formed in the plane longitudinal face 2 of the profile 1 (Fig. 5).
  • the wedge 24 can be made integral with the plate 6 or even be of a single part with it and be, as shown, formed by an extra thickness of the fixing plate 6. In this case the hook 36 is fixed on these two parts.
  • the wedge 24 can also be removable and include a light, or even a slot, into which a hook 36 fitted to the plate 6 fits. It is then possible with a single type of holding device and two types of wedge, or reversible wedges, to ensure the front and rear supports the desired inclinations and lateral offset.
  • the section 1 can have any desired length and can be used alone, with a certain number of holding devices, or be associated with another similar section 41 to form a vertical post as shown. in Fig. 5.
  • the wings 42 of the two U-shaped sections are placed end to end so that the flat faces 2 receiving the holding devices constitute two opposite faces of the post.
  • Profiles 1 and 41 are fitted together inside a retaining base 42 which forms a support leg on the ground and can even possibly be fixed on the latter.
  • the two sections 1 and 41 are surrounded by a collar 44 of rectangular or square section, the faces of which are in close contact with those of the post and which is fixed to the sections 1 and 41 by any suitable means, such as screws 46.
  • a collar 44 of rectangular or square section, the faces of which are in close contact with those of the post and which is fixed to the sections 1 and 41 by any suitable means, such as screws 46.
  • each of the sides of the collar 44 has on these two opposite vertical edges, an L-shaped rim which forms a slide 47 for receiving the extreme flank 48 of a cross-member 50 connecting to another similar post.
  • the support comprising a U-shaped section shown in FIG. 1 can however be used alone or with other similar supports placed next to it.
  • Each profile 1, 61 is, in this case, fixed to a wall or the like by any appropriate means but preferably by means of at least one wedge of parallelpipedic shape, solid or hollow, and capable of fitting together inside the U-shaped profile.
  • the shim 52 then has a through hole 54 which, during this interlocking, is aligned with a hole 56 in the profile and thus puncture the passage of a screw 58 which fixes the assembly to the wall (Fig. 6).
  • the upper part of the profile 61 can also be closed by a wedge 62 which is longer than the others and provided at its lower part with a groove 62 for nesting on the edge of the flat face 2 of the profile 61.
  • a console 64 of shelf support can be fixed on the closing wedge 60, when several identical bottle supports are arranged side by side. A shelf or shelf (not shown) can then be supported by the brackets 64 of several adjacent supports.
  • the shims 52 and 60 may have a depth similar to that of the U-shaped profile or as shown in FIG. 6 have a significantly greater depth and thus provide a space between the profile 61 and the wall to which it is fixed.
  • the profile 61 has at regular intervals orifices 66, of section circular, the upper edge of which constitutes the front support of the holding device.
  • the rear support is itself formed by a cup 68 similar to the cup 18 and carried like it by a flat and vertical wing 70, secured to a fixing member 72.
  • the member 72 has the shape of a stirrup, the two branches 74 and 76 have different widths while its base 78 is curved in its center so as to provide the shape of the lower edge of the orifice 66.
  • the wing 70 is integral with the small branch 74 of the stirrup 72 but is inclined laterally with respect to the perpendicular to the plane of this wing 74 by an angle of about 10 °, as shown more particularly in Fig.7.
  • the two branches 74 and 76 of the stirrup 72 are strictly parallel and flat and each come to bear on one of the faces of the wall of the profile 61 when the stirrup straddles the edge of the orifice 66 (Fig. 8 ). They thus ensure a solid connection to the cup 68 and its rigorously holding in place during its use.
  • the neck of the bottle which must be supported is in this case introduced inside the profile 61 so as to be in contact on the one hand with the upper front support formed by the edge of the orifice 66 and on the other share with the lower rear support constituted by the cup 68.
  • the orifice 66 having a diameter greater than that of a neck, the bottle is, as with the previous embodiments, slightly inclined downward by an angle d 'about 10 °.
  • Profile 61 comprising several orifices 66 distributed over its length, these orifices each receive a stirrup 72 carrying a wing 70 offset laterally but the wings of successive devices are shifted alternately to the right and to the left.
  • the orifice of circular section 66 can be replaced by an orifice of another shape, for example a orifice in the shape of a diamond, the shape of the stirrup 72 being modified accordingly.
  • a holding device comprises a front or upper support 82 formed by a cylinder portion which is directly integral with the fixing plate 84 but whose axis and generatrices are inclined downward and laterally with respect to this plate.
  • the lower rear support is itself constituted by a flat crescent-shaped flank 86 which is connected to the plate 84 by a wide arm 88 slightly curved occupying almost the entire width of the flat crescent 86.
  • the arm 88 is hollowed out in its central part which lightens the device without harming its resistance.
  • the front and rear supports 82 and 86 are preferably in one piece with the fixing plate 84 which has a concave rear face from which a member 90 for hooking in a slot 92 of a profile 94 leaves.
  • the slot 92 has an oblong shape with a long longitudinal axis, while the hooking member 90 has the shape of a T, the bar of which is directed transversely with respect to the fixing plate.
  • This member must therefore be pivoted and deformed to penetrate the light but resumes its shape elastically when it has been introduced and turned 90 °. It therefore retains the fixing plate against the profile by applying the two edges of its concave face against it (Fig. 11 and 12).
  • the immobilization of the holding device is reinforced by extensions or nozzles 95, 96 of the arm 88 which come to fit on either side of the profile 94 by preventing its pivoting under the action of the load constituted by the bottle.
  • the bottle is extremely easy to put on and take off, whether empty or full. It is held securely while remaining accessible so that the labels are always legible.
  • the support has only a reduced bulk and the storage space for the bottles can be used for another use.
