Description

In letzter Zeit ist in vielen Ländern ein Trend feststellbar, Getränkeflaschen anstatt aus Glas aus Kunststoff herzustellen, wobei vorzugsweise ein Kunststoff verwendet wird, der unter der Abkürzung PET bekannt ist. Dabei kommen immer häufiger Flaschen von 1,5 Litern auf den Markt. Solche grossen Flaschen können, insbesondere für alte Menschen oder für Kinder, beim Einschenken problematisch werden, nicht nur infolge des Gewichtes, sondern auch dadurch, dass die Kunststoffwand relativ dünn ist und die Flasche dann zusammengedrückt wird. Andererseits bedingt die Handhabung einer solchen Flasche eine gewisse Mindeststärke der Wand, da sie sonst zu leicht eindrückbar ist und zerreissen kann.In recent times there has been a trend in many countries to produce beverage bottles from plastic instead of glass, preferably using a plastic known by the abbreviation PET. Bottles of 1.5 liters are coming onto the market more and more frequently. Such large bottles can be problematic when pouring, especially for old people or children, not only because of the weight, but also because the plastic wall is relatively thin and the bottle is then compressed. On the other hand, the handling of such a bottle requires a certain minimum thickness of the wall, since otherwise it is too easy to push in and tear.

Davon ausgehend ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Vorrichtung anzugeben, die es gestattet, Flaschen aller Grössen, insbesondere auch grössere wie 1,5 Liter bis 3 Liter PET-Flaschen beim Ausschenken bequem handhaben zu können. Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Handgriff gemäss dem unabhängigen Patentanspruch gelöst. In den abhängigen Ansprüchen sind bevorzugte Ausführungsformen definiert.Based on this, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device which allows bottles of all sizes, in particular also larger ones such as 1.5 liters to 3 liters, to be handled comfortably when pouring out. This object is achieved by the handle according to the independent claim. Preferred embodiments are defined in the dependent claims.

Der Handgriff 1 gemäss den Fig. 1 und 2 ist ein einfaches Ausführungsbeispiel, das besonders kostengünstig hergestellt werden kann. In den Fig. 1 und 2 ist der Handgriff 1 auf einer PET-Flasche 2 angebracht, deren Hals 3 ein Gewinde 4, das nach unten durch einen Kragen 5 abgeschlossen ist, und einen Schraubdeckel 6 aufweist.The handle 1 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is a simple embodiment that can be manufactured particularly inexpensively. 1 and 2, the handle 1 is attached to a PET bottle 2, the neck 3 of which has a thread 4, which is closed at the bottom by a collar 5, and a screw cap 6.

Der erfindungsgemässe Handgriff 1 besteht aus einem Befestigungsteil 7 und einem bogenförmigen Griffteil 8, wobei das Befestigungsteil ein Innengewinde 9 aufweist, dem sich ein Aussengewinde 10 anschliesst, auf das der Schraubdeckel 6 geschraubt werden kann. Der Flansch des Griffteils ist in Höhe des Innengewindes angeordnet.The handle 1 according to the invention consists of a fastening part 7 and an arc-shaped grip part 8, the fastening part having an internal thread 9, to which an external thread 10 connects, onto which the screw cap 6 can be screwed. The flange of the handle part is arranged at the level of the internal thread.

Die Funktionsweise dieses Handgriffes ist sehr einfach: Nach Abschrauben des Schraubdeckels wird der Handgriff auf das Gewinde 4 des Flaschenhalses aufgeschraubt und die Flasche kann mit dem Schraubdeckel wieder verschlossen werden, der auf dem Aussengewinde 10 aufgeschraubt wird. Durch die geschweifte Gestaltung des Griffteils 8 kann die PET-Flasche leicht ergriffen und das Getränk ausgeschenkt werden, ohne die Flasche an ihrem weichen Bereich anfassen zu müssen. Dadurch kann eine solche Flasche auch von Kindern oder älteren Menschen gut erfasst und bedient werden. Dabei ist es selbstverständlich, dass weder die Form noch das Material des Griffteils, bzw. des Handgriffes erfindungswesentlich ist und unterschiedlich realisiert werden können.The operation of this handle is very simple: after unscrewing the screw cap, the handle is screwed onto the thread 4 of the bottle neck and the bottle can be closed again with the screw cap, which is screwed onto the external thread 10. Due to the curly design of the grip part 8, the PET bottle can be easily gripped and the beverage can be poured out without having to touch the soft area of the bottle. This means that such a bottle can also be easily grasped and operated by children or the elderly. It goes without saying that neither the shape nor the Material of the handle part, or the handle is essential to the invention and can be realized differently.

Das Anbringen eines solchen Handgriffes erleichtert nicht nur die Bedienung einer solchen Flasche sondern führt auch dazu, dass die Wandstärke der Kunststoffflasche herabgesetzt werden kann, da die Flasche nicht mehr zusammengequetscht werden muss, um sie richtig anfassen und bedienen zu können. Dadurch kann zwar an jeder Flasche nur ein geringer Anteil Kunststoff erspart werden, jedoch bei der riesigen Menge von Kunststoffflaschen, die in Umlauf sind, können sich sehr grosse Einsparungen sowohl beim Material als auch beim Transport und insbesondere auch bei der Wiederverwertung ergeben.Attaching such a handle not only facilitates the operation of such a bottle but also means that the wall thickness of the plastic bottle can be reduced, since the bottle no longer has to be squeezed together in order to be able to handle and operate it correctly. This means that only a small amount of plastic can be saved on each bottle, but with the huge amount of plastic bottles in circulation, very large savings can be made both in terms of material and transport, and particularly when it comes to recycling.

Obwohl dieser Handgriff in erster Linie für Kunststoffflaschen und dort insbesondere für grössere 1,5 bis 3 Liter Flaschen gedacht ist, kann dieser Griff selbstverständlich auch auf anderen Flaschen, d. h. sowohl auf kleinere als auch auf grössere Flaschen verwendet werden und selbstverständlicherweise auch auf Glasflaschen, beispielsweise in Heimen oder derartigen Einrichtungen, wo Menschen anzutreffen sind, die Schwierigkeiten haben, Gegenstände richtig zu erfassen.Although this handle is primarily intended for plastic bottles and there in particular for larger 1.5 to 3 liter bottles, this handle can of course also be used on other bottles, i.e. H. can be used both on smaller and larger bottles and, of course, also on glass bottles, for example in homes or such facilities where people can be found who have difficulty in correctly grasping objects.

Das zweite Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss den Fig. 3 - 7 ist ein Handgriff 11, der sich an einer geschlossenen Flasche anbringen lässt und die Handhabung auch einer noch ungeöffneten Flasche erlaubt. Der Handgriff 11 weist ebenfalls ein Befestigungsteil 12 und ein Griffteil 13 auf, wobei der Befestigungsteil auf den Kragen 5 der Flasche 2 angebracht wird. Die Flasche 2 gemäss Fig. 5 kann die gleiche sein wie in Fig. 1 oder eine andere Form aufweisen, wie die Flasche 14 gemäss Fig. 7, die jedenfalls auch einen Kragen 15 aufweisen muss, damit der Handgriff 11 daran angebracht werden kann. Die Flasche 14 kann ebenfalls einen Schraubdeckel 16 aufweisen.The second exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 3-7 is a handle 11 which can be attached to a closed bottle and which also allows handling of a bottle which is still unopened. The handle 11 also has a fastening part 12 and a grip part 13, the fastening part being attached to the collar 5 of the bottle 2. The bottle 2 according to FIG. 5 can be the same as in FIG. 1 or have a different shape than the bottle 14 according to FIG. 7, which in any case must also have a collar 15 so that the handle 11 can be attached to it can. The bottle 14 can also have a screw cap 16.

Das Befestigungsteil 12 enthält einen Ring 17 mit einer Innennut 18 die geformt ist, den Kragen 5 oder 15 an der Flasche aufzunehmen. Dabei sind der Durchmesser des Ringes 17 sowie die Tiefe der Nut 18 derart bemessen, dass der Ring leicht über den Deckel und den Kragen gebracht werden kann.The fastening part 12 contains a ring 17 with an inner groove 18 which is shaped to receive the collar 5 or 15 on the bottle. The diameter of the ring 17 and the depth of the groove 18 are dimensioned such that the ring can easily be placed over the cover and the collar.

Zum Festmachen des Handgriffes an der Flasche besitzt dessen Befestigungsvorrichtung einen Schieber 19, der von einer Druckfeder 20 beaufschlagt ist, die den Schieber in den Ring hineindrückt. Der Schieber besitzt griffteilseitig eine Ausnehmung 21 und einen Keil 22. Quer zum Schieber ist ein Querbolzen 23 angeordnet, der an seiner Oberseite, d. h. an der dem Griffteil abgewandten Seite, eine quer zur Längserstreckung des Bolzens verlaufende Nut 24 aufweist, siehe Fig. 7. Die Oberfläche 30 der Nut ist dreigeteilt, mit einer mittleren Fläche 30 A, der sich beidseitig je eine Seitenfläche 30 B und 30 C anschliesst, siehe Fig. 5.To fix the handle to the bottle, its fastening device has a slide 19 which is acted upon by a compression spring 20 which presses the slide into the ring. The slide has a recess 21 and a wedge on the handle part side. A transverse bolt 23 is arranged transversely to the slide. H. on the side facing away from the handle part, has a groove 24 running transversely to the longitudinal extent of the bolt, see FIG. 7. The surface 30 of the groove is divided into three, with a central surface 30 A, which is adjoined on both sides by a side surface 30 B and 30 C. , see Fig. 5.

Am Bolzen 23 ist ein Hebel 25 mit einem Stift 26 angeordnet, der in drei verschiedenen Vertiefungen 27 einrasten kann. Der Schieber besitzt ferner an seinem ringseitigen Ende einen Einschnitt 28 zur Aufnahme des Flaschenkragens. In der in Fig. 3 oder 4 gezeichneten Mittelstellung des Hebels 25 ist der Bolzen, bzw. die Nut 24 ausser Eingriff mit dem Keil 22 am Schieber, so dass dieser frei beweglich ist und nach hinten, d. h. dem Griff zu geschoben werden kann, wie dies in den Fig. 3 und 4 mit dem Pfeil 29 angedeutet ist. In dieser Stellung oder in der nachfolgend beschriebenen Stellung gemäss Fig. 6 kann der Handgriff über den Kragen der Flasche gebracht werden. Um den Handgriff, bzw. den Schieber zu verriegeln, wird der Hebel 25 in die Stellung gemäss Fig. 5 geschwenkt. In dieser Stellung ist der Schieber ganz nach vorne in den Ring gestossen und presst den Kragen 5 in die Nut 18 des Ringes, wodurch der Griff an der Flasche gesichert ist. Dabei presst die Seitenfläche 30 B auf den Keil 22.A lever 25 with a pin 26 is arranged on the bolt 23 and can snap into three different recesses 27. The slider also has an incision 28 on its ring-shaped end for receiving the bottle collar. In the central position of the lever 25 shown in FIG. 3 or 4, the bolt or the groove 24 is out of engagement with the wedge 22 on the slide, so that it is freely movable and can be pushed backwards, ie the handle, as this is indicated in FIGS. 3 and 4 with the arrow 29. 6, the handle can be brought over the collar of the bottle. In order to lock the handle or the slide, the lever 25 is pivoted into the position according to FIG. 5. In this position the slider is pushed fully forward into the ring and presses the collar 5 into the groove 18 of the ring, whereby the handle is secured to the bottle. The side surface 30 B presses on the wedge 22.

Zum Entfernen des Handgriffes wird der Hebel 25 in die Mittelstellung gebracht und dann wird mittels der Flasche der Riegel 19 zurückgestossen, woraufhin er in dieser zurückgestossenen Stellung durch Umlegen des Hebels in die dritte Stellung gemäss Fig. 6 arretiert wird. Dadurch wird der Ring freigegeben und der Handgriff kann abgezogen werden, und in diesem Zustand auch leicht auf eine andere Flasche aufgelegt werden. Danach genügt es, den Hebel 25 in die Mittelstellung gemäss Fig. 3 zu bringen.To remove the handle, the lever 25 is brought into the central position and then the bolt 19 is pushed back by means of the bottle, whereupon it is locked in this pushed-back position by moving the lever into the third position according to FIG. 6. This releases the ring and the handle can be removed, and in this state it can also be easily placed on another bottle. Then it is sufficient to bring the lever 25 into the central position according to FIG. 3.

Beim Beispiel gemäss Fig. 7 handelt es sich um eine andere PET-Flasche, während der Handgriff derselbe ist wie im vorhergehenden Beispiel.The example according to FIG. 7 is a different PET bottle, while the handle is the same as in the previous example.

Beim Zusammensetzen der Teile des Befestigungsteils wird zuerst der Schieber in die entsprechende Oeffnung 32 im Griffteil eingeschoben und in eine Stellung gebracht, in der der Querbolzen bei der Ausnehmung 21 am Schieber eingeschoben werden kann, woraufhin die Druckfeder, die durch eine Verschlusskappe 31 mit Presssitz gesichert ist, eingeführt wird.When assembling the parts of the fastening part, the slider is first inserted into the corresponding opening 32 in the handle part and brought into a position in which the cross bolt can be inserted at the recess 21 on the slider, whereupon the compression spring, which is secured by a cap 31 with a press fit is introduced.

Das zweite Ausführungsbeispiel des Handgriffes ist nicht an die oben beschriebene Ausführung des Befestigungsteils gebunden. Anstatt eines Querbolzens mit Nut kann auch ein anderes Arretierelement verwendet werden, beispielsweise ein Hebel mit Verzahnung, der in eine Verzahnung im Schieber greift, und gegebenenfalls ein Verstellen des Schiebers auch ohne Druckfeder gestattet.The second embodiment of the handle is not tied to the design of the fastening part described above. Instead of a cross bolt with a groove, another locking element can also be used, for example a lever with toothing which engages in a toothing in the slide and, if appropriate, allows the slide to be adjusted even without a compression spring.

Aus obiger Beschreibung geht klar hervor, dass insbesondere auch dieser Handgriff nicht an die zwei beschriebenen Beispiele von PET-Flaschen gebunden ist, da es zur Anbringung dieses Handgriffes genügt, dass die Flasche oder der Behälter einen Kragen aufweist oder mindestens zwei gegenüberliegende Vorsprünge, um sowohl von der Nut 18 als auch vom Einschnitt 28 umfasst zu werden. Insbesondere können auch Glasflaschen und Glasbehälter oder andere Behälter mit den erfindungsgemässen Handgriffen versehen werden.From the above description it is clear that in particular this handle is not bound to the two examples of PET bottles described, since it is sufficient for the attachment of this handle that the bottle or the container has a collar or at least two opposite projections around both to be encompassed by the groove 18 as well as by the incision 28. In particular, glass bottles and glass containers or other containers can also be provided with the handles according to the invention.

Bei PET-Flaschen können sich dadurch Probleme ergeben, dass sich kohlesäurehaltiges Getränk bei Erwärmung ausdehnt, so dass ein Aufschrauben des Schraubdeckels oft nur mit relativ grossem Kraftaufwand durchführbar ist. Bei entsprechender Ausgestaltung des Ringes 17, bzw. des vorderen Endes des Schieber 19, ist es möglich, den Handgriff in der blockierten Stellung gemäss Fig. 5 zum Oeffnen von Schraubdekkeln zu verwenden. Gegebenenfalls wäre ein zusätzliches Verriegelungselement im Ring anzubringen.Problems can arise with PET bottles in that carbonated beverage expands when heated, so that the screw cap can often only be screwed on with a relatively large amount of force. With a corresponding design of the ring 17 or the front end of the slide 19, it is possible to use the handle in the blocked position according to FIG. 5 for opening screw caps. If necessary, an additional locking element would have to be fitted in the ring.
