Description

Gebiet der ErfindungField of the invention

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Flaschenhaltersystem, insbesondere ein Flaschenhaltersystem zur Unterstützung der Flüssigkeitsaufnahme für ein Baby bzw. Kleinkind.The invention relates to a bottle holder system, in particular a bottle holder system for supporting the intake of liquid for a baby or small child.

Hintergrund der ErfindungBackground of the invention

Babys können mit Flaschen bzw. Milchflaschen gefüttert werden. Dies hat allerdings den Nachteil, dass mit einem Arm das Baby und mit der anderen Hand die Flasche gehalten werden müssen. Die fütternde Person hat damit keine freie Hand, um etwa während des Fütterns andere Aufgaben erledigen zu können.Babies can be fed with bottles or milk bottles. However, this has the disadvantage that the baby has to be held with one arm and the bottle with the other hand. The feeding person does not have a free hand to do other tasks while feeding.

Zur Lösung dieses Problems sind aus dem Stand der Technik Flaschenhaltersysteme bekannt, mit denen das Baby mit einer Flasche gefüttert werden kann, die fütternde Person aber dennoch eine Hand frei hat.To solve this problem, bottle holder systems are known from the prior art, with which the baby can be fed with a bottle, but the person feeding it still has one hand free.

Ein solches System ist beispielsweise aus der US 8 915 408 B1 bekannt. An einem Gurt, der über die Schulter der fütternden Person gelegt werden kann, ist ein Flaschenhalter angeordnet, der die Trinkflasche aufnimmt. Der Flaschenhalter wird im Bereich der Brust der fütternden Person platziert. Der Flaschenhalter selbst ist drehbar an dem Gurt befestigt, sodass die Trinkflasche optimal ausgerichtet werden kann. Mit einem Arm wird das Baby gehalten und die Trinkflasche wird zum Baby hin ausgerichtet. Die andere Hand bleibt während der Nahrungsaufnahme frei.Such a system is, for example, from US 8 915 408 B1 known. A bottle holder that holds the drinking bottle is arranged on a belt that can be placed over the shoulder of the person feeding. The bottle holder is placed in the area of the breast of the feeding person. The bottle holder itself is rotatably attached to the belt so that the drinking bottle can be optimally aligned. The baby is held with one arm and the drinking bottle is directed towards the baby. The other hand remains free while eating.

Um den Flaschenhalter in einer bestimmten Drehposition zu halten, ist ein Arretiermechanismus vorgesehen. Der Flaschenhalter weist an der dem Gurt zugewandten Seite eine zahnradförmige Scheibe auf, die in eine entsprechende Öffnung an der Oberfläche des Gurtes eingreift. Die zahnradförmige Scheibe bzw. die Zähne sind aus einem flexiblen Material, sodass die Scheibe einerseits in der Öffnung manuell gedreht werden kann und andererseits ein selbstständiges Drehen der Scheibe in der Öffnung verhindert wird. Das selbstständige Drehen der Scheibe in der Öffnung wird aufgrund der Haftreibung zwischen der Scheibe und der Wandung der Öffnung verhindert.In order to hold the bottle holder in a certain rotational position, a locking mechanism is provided. On the side facing the belt, the bottle holder has a gear-shaped disc which is inserted into a corresponding opening on the Surface of the belt engages. The gear-shaped disk or the teeth are made of a flexible material, so that the disk can be rotated manually in the opening on the one hand and independent rotation of the disk in the opening is prevented on the other hand. The independent rotation of the disk in the opening is prevented due to the static friction between the disk and the wall of the opening.

Nachteilig bei diesem System ist allerdings, dass die Haftreibung bei Verwendung größerer bzw. schwererer Flaschen nicht ausreicht, um ein selbständiges Drehen zu verhindern, da die Haftreibung nicht zu groß sein darf, um auch ein manuelles Drehen der Flaschenaufnahme (etwa zum Ausrichten der Flasche) zu ermöglichen. Ferner hat sich gezeigt, dass die Haftreibung, etwa aufgrund eines Verschleißes der Scheibe, mit der Zeit abnimmt, sodass auch bei Verwendung kleinerer bzw. leichterer Flaschen ein selbstständiges Drehen der Flaschenaufnahme nicht sicher verhindert wird.The disadvantage of this system, however, is that the static friction when using larger or heavier bottles is not sufficient to prevent independent rotation, since the static friction must not be too great to allow manual rotation of the bottle holder (e.g. to align the bottle) to enable. Furthermore, it has been shown that the static friction, for example due to wear on the disk, decreases over time, so that even when smaller or lighter bottles are used, an independent rotation of the bottle holder is not reliably prevented.

Ein weiteres Flaschenhaltesystem ist aus der GB 2 474 895 A bekannt. Der Flaschenhalter wird drehbar an einem Gurt befestigt, sodass die Trinkflasche optimal ausgerichtet werden kann. Dabei umfasst dieses Flaschenhaltesystem ein erstes Verbindungsmittel, das parallel zur Brust der fütternden Person angeordnet ist, eine Drehachse senkrecht zur Ebene des ersten Verbindungsmittels, und ein zweites Verbindungsmittel zur Aufnahme einer Flasche, das mit dem ersten Verbindungsmittel verbunden werden kann. Sind die beiden Verbindungsmittel miteinander verbunden, lässt sich das zweite Verbindungsmittel relativ zum ersten Verbindungsmittel um die Drehachse drehen.Another bottle holder system is from the GB 2,474,895 A known. The bottle holder is rotatably attached to a strap so that the drinking bottle can be optimally aligned. This bottle holding system comprises a first connecting means, which is arranged parallel to the breast of the person feeding, an axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of the first connecting means, and a second connecting means for receiving a bottle, which can be connected to the first connecting means. If the two connecting means are connected to one another, the second connecting means can be rotated about the axis of rotation relative to the first connecting means.

Aufgabe der ErfindungObject of the invention

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher ein Flaschenhaltersystem bereitzustellen, bei dem einerseits eine Flaschenaufnahme einfach gedreht werden kann, um die Flasche auszurichten, und bei dem andererseits ein selbständiges Drehen der Flaschenaufnahme auch bei schwereren Flaschen oder nach längerer Nutzungsdauer effektiv verhindert wird.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a bottle holder system in which, on the one hand, a bottle holder can simply be rotated to align the bottle, and in which, on the other hand, an independent rotation of the bottle holder is effectively prevented even with heavier bottles or after a long period of use.

Erfindungsgemäße LösungSolution according to the invention

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Flaschenhaltersystem nach dem unabhängigen Anspruch. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Flaschenhaltersystems sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This problem is solved by a bottle holder system according to the independent claim. Advantageous configurations of the bottle holder system are given in the dependent claims.

Bereitgestellt wird demnach ein Flaschenhaltersystem umfassend eine Basisplatte mit einer Vorderseite und einer Rückseite, einen Flaschenhalter zur Aufnahme einer Flasche, und ein Arretiermittel, wobei

  • der Flaschenhalter an der Vorderseite der Basisplatte angeordnet ist und um eine zur Basisplatte senkrechten Drehachse relativ zur Basisplatte drehbar ist,
  • das Arretiermittel an der Rückseite der Basisplatte angeordnet ist und mit dem Flaschenhalter gekoppelt ist, wobei das Arretiermittel angepasst ist, den Flaschenhalter in einem vorbestimmten Drehwinkel relativ zur Basisplatte zu arretieren,
  • die Basisplatte ein Durchgangsloch aufweist,
  • an der der Basisplatte zugewandten Seite des Flaschenhalters ein Verbindungselement angeordnet ist, das durch das Durchgangsloch hindurchgeführt ist, und
  • das Verbindungselement an der Rückseite der Basisplatte mit dem Arretiermittel gekoppelt ist,
und wobei an dem Verbindungselement ein Befestigungsmittel lösbar angeordnet ist, mit dem das Arretiermittel an dem Verbindungselement befestigt wird.Accordingly, a bottle holder system is provided comprising a base plate with a front side and a rear side, a bottle holder for receiving a bottle, and a locking means, wherein
  • the bottle holder is arranged on the front of the base plate and is rotatable relative to the base plate about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the base plate,
  • the locking means is arranged on the rear side of the base plate and is coupled to the bottle holder, the locking means being adapted to lock the bottle holder at a predetermined angle of rotation relative to the base plate,
  • the base plate has a through hole,
  • on the side of the bottle holder facing the base plate, a connecting element is arranged, which is passed through the through hole, and
  • the connecting element is coupled to the locking means on the rear side of the base plate,
and wherein a fastening means is detachably arranged on the connecting element, with which the locking means is fastened to the connecting element.

Mit dem an der Rückseite der Basisplatte angeordneten Arretiermittel kann der Flaschenhalter einerseits besonders einfach und sicher gegen ein selbstständiges Verdrehen relativ zur Basisplatte gesichert werden. Andererseits kann der Flaschenhalter manuell relativ zur Basisplatte gedreht werden, da die Arretierung einfach gelöst werden kann, etwa weil das Arretiermittel von hinten zugänglich ist. Im Stand der Technik ist die als Arretiermittel vorgesehene Scheibe zwischen der Basisplatte und dem Flaschenhalter angeordnet und von außen nicht zugänglich.With the locking means arranged on the back of the base plate, the bottle holder can on the one hand be secured particularly easily and securely against independent rotation relative to the base plate. On the other hand, the bottle holder can be rotated manually relative to the base plate, since the lock can easily be released, for example because the locking means is accessible from the rear. In the prior art, the disk provided as a locking means is arranged between the base plate and the bottle holder and is not accessible from the outside.

Es hat sich als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, wenn zwischen der Basisplatte und dem Flaschenhalter ein Feststellmittel angeordnet ist, das angepasst ist, das Verbindungselement mit einer Kraft zu beaufschlagen, um

  • den Flaschenhalter im arretierten Zustand in einem vorbestimmten Abstand zur Basisplatte zu halten und
  • das mit dem Verbindungselement gekoppelte Arretiermittel gegen die Rückseite der Basisplatte zu drücken.
It has been found to be advantageous if a locking means is arranged between the base plate and the bottle holder which is adapted to apply a force to the connecting element in order to
  • to keep the bottle holder in the locked state at a predetermined distance from the base plate and
  • to press the locking means coupled to the connecting element against the rear side of the base plate.

Dadurch kann die Arretierung besonders einfach gelöst werden, indem der Flaschenhalter gegen die Basisplatte gedrückt wird, sodass sich das Arretiermittel an der Rückseite der Basisplatte von der Basisplatte löst. Der Flaschenhalter kann dann einfach gedreht werden. Wird der Flaschenhalter nicht mehr gegen die Basisplatte gedrückt, sorgt die Kraft, mit der das Verbindungselement beaufschlagt wird, dafür, dass das Arretiermittel wieder gegen die Rückseite der Basisplatte gedrückt wird und der Flaschenhalter damit arretiert wird. Die Haftreibung zwischen dem Arretiermittel und der Basisplatte ist hierbei ausreichend, um ein selbstständiges Drehen des Flaschenhalters auch bei schweren Flaschen zu verhindern.As a result, the lock can be released in a particularly simple manner by pressing the bottle holder against the base plate, so that the locking means on the back of the base plate is released from the base plate. The bottle holder can then simply be rotated. If the bottle holder is no longer pressed against the base plate, the force with which the connecting element is applied ensures that the locking means is pressed again against the back of the base plate and the bottle holder is thus locked. The static friction between the locking means and the base plate is sufficient to prevent the bottle holder from rotating independently, even with heavy bottles.

Hierbei kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn das Feststellmittel ein Federelement, insbesondere eine Schraubendruckfeder, umfasst.It can be advantageous here if the locking means comprises a spring element, in particular a helical compression spring.

Die Oberfläche der der Basisplatte zugewandten Seite des Arretiermittels kann hinsichtlich ihrer Form zumindest abschnittsweise mit der Oberfläche der Rückseite der Basisplatte korrespondieren. Unregelmäßige Oberflächen, etwa geschwungene, sorgen dafür, dass für ein selbstständiges Drehen des Flaschenhalters eine höhere Kraft aufgewandt werden müsste, da nicht nur die Haftreibung zwischen dem Arretiermittel und der Basisplatte überwunden werden muss, sondern auch die Kraft, mit der das Verbindungselement beaufschlagt wird.The surface of the side of the locking means facing the base plate can correspond in terms of its shape, at least in sections, to the surface of the rear side of the base plate. Irregular surfaces, such as curved ones, ensure that a higher force would have to be used for the bottle holder to rotate independently, since not only the static friction between the locking means and the base plate has to be overcome, but also the force with which the connecting element is applied.

In einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann das Arretiermittel eine Scheibe umfassen, wobei

  • an der der Basisplatte zugewandten Oberfläche der Scheibe eine Anzahl von ersten Rastelementen vorgesehen ist,
  • an der Rückseite der Basisplatte eine Anzahl von zweiten Rastelementen vorgesehen ist, und
  • die ersten Rastelemente in Eingriff mit den zweiten Rastelementen bringbar sind, um den Flaschenhalter in dem vorbestimmten Drehwinkel relativ zur Basisplatte zu arretieren.
In one embodiment of the invention, the locking means can comprise a disk, wherein
  • a number of first latching elements are provided on the surface of the disk facing the base plate,
  • a number of second latching elements are provided on the rear side of the base plate, and
  • the first locking elements can be brought into engagement with the second locking elements in order to lock the bottle holder at the predetermined angle of rotation relative to the base plate.

Hierdurch wird zwischen der Basisplatte und dem Arretiermittel ein Formschluss hergestellt, sodass der Flaschenhalter nur dann gedreht werden kann, wenn er soweit gegen die Basisplatte gedrückt wird, dass sich der Eingriff der ersten Rastelemente in die zweiten Rastelemente vollständig löst.This creates a form fit between the base plate and the locking means so that the bottle holder can only be rotated when it is pressed against the base plate to such an extent that the engagement of the first locking elements in the second locking elements is completely released.

Die ersten Rastelemente können Noppen / Zapfen und die zweiten Rastelemente können Vertiefungen umfassen. Alternativ können die zweiten Rastelemente Noppen / Zapfen und die ersten Rastelemente Vertiefungen umfassen. Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Noppen / Zapfen mit den Vertiefungen korrespondieren.The first latching elements can comprise knobs / pegs and the second latching elements can comprise depressions. Alternatively, the second latching elements can comprise knobs / pegs and the first latching elements can comprise depressions. It is advantageous if the knobs / pegs correspond to the depressions.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der an der Rückseite der Basisplatte aus dem Durchgangsloch herausragende Abschnitt des Verbindungselements

  • zumindest abschnittsweise einen nicht-kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweist, und
  • mit dem nicht-kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweisenden Abschnitt in eine in dem Arretiermittel vorgesehene Aussparung / Durchgangsloch eingreift,
wobei die Aussparung / das Durchgangsloch denselben Querschnitt aufweist wie der in die Aussparung / das Durchgangsloch eingreifende Abschnitt des Verbindungselements, um ein Verdrehen des Arretiermittels relativ zum Flaschenhalter zu verhindern.According to one embodiment of the invention, it is advantageous if the on the back the base plate protruding from the through hole portion of the connecting element
  • has a non-circular cross-section at least in sections, and
  • engages with the non-circular cross-section having section in a recess / through hole provided in the locking means,
wherein the recess / the through hole has the same cross section as the section of the connecting element engaging in the recess / the through hole in order to prevent the locking means from rotating relative to the bottle holder.

Das Arretiermittel kann zwischen einer Auskragung des Verbindungselements und dem Befestigungsmittel eingespannt sein. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass beim Drücken des Flaschenhalters die Arretierung unmittelbar, d.h. ohne Spiel, gelöst wird.The locking means can be clamped between a projection of the connecting element and the fastening means. This means that when the bottle holder is pressed, the lock is released immediately, i.e. without play.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann an der Basisplatte ein Gurt angeordnet sein, wobei das freie Ende des Gurtes optional mit einem Gewicht versehen sein kann. Wird der Gurt über die Schulter gelegt, bewirkt das Gewicht, dass der Gurt aufgrund des Gewichtes der aufgenommenen Flasche nicht nach vorne verrutscht.According to one embodiment of the invention, a belt can be arranged on the base plate, and the free end of the belt can optionally be provided with a weight. If the belt is placed over the shoulder, the weight ensures that the belt does not slip forward due to the weight of the bottle that is picked up.

Detaillierte Beschreibung der ErfindungDetailed description of the invention

Fig. 1 zeigt ein erfindungsgemäßes Flaschenhaltersystem 1 im bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch, wobei in Abbildung (a) eine ein Baby fütternde Person von vorne und in Abbildung (b) die Person von der Seite gezeigt ist. Fig. 1 shows a bottle holder system 1 according to the invention in the intended use, with a person feeding a baby from the front in Figure (a) and the person from the side in Figure (b).

Das Flaschenhaltersystem 1 weist hier einen Gurt 60 auf, der aus einem flexiblen Material gefertigt ist. Der Gurt 60 kann über die Schulter der Peron gelegt werden. An dem vorderen Ende des Gurtes 60, d.h. an dem Ende des Gurtes, das sich im Bereich der Brust der Person befindet, ist eine Basisplatte 10 angeordnet. An der Basisplatte 10 ist ein Flaschenhalter 20 angeordnet, mit dem die Trinkflasche aufgenommen wird.The bottle holder system 1 here has a belt 60 which is made of a flexible material. The belt 60 can be placed over the shoulder of the person. At the front end of the belt 60, i.e. at the end of the belt which is in the region of the chest of the person, a base plate 10 is arranged. A bottle holder 20 with which the drinking bottle is received is arranged on the base plate 10.

Der Flaschenhalter 20 ist relativ zur Basisplatte 10 drehbar, sodass die in dem Flaschenhalter 20 aufgenommene Flasche von einer "Trinkposition" (wie in Abbildung (a) gezeigt) in eine "Parkposition" (wie in Abbildung (b) gezeigt) gebracht werden kann. Durch die drehbare Anordnung des Flaschenhalters 20 an der Basisplatte 10 kann der Drehwinkel des Flaschenhalters 20 relativ zur Basisplatte 10 beliebig eingestellt werden, sodass die Flasche nicht nur von einer Trinkposition in eine Parkposition gedreht werden kann, sondern insbesondere der Drehwinkel für die Trinkposition individuell eingestellt werden kann. Dadurch kann das Flaschenhaltersystem 1 auch beidseitig verwendet werden, d.h. sowohl über die rechte Schulter als auch über die linke Schulter gelegt werden.The bottle holder 20 is rotatable relative to the base plate 10, so that the bottle received in the bottle holder 20 can be brought from a "drinking position" (as shown in figure (a)) to a "parking position" (as shown in figure (b)). Due to the rotatable arrangement of the bottle holder 20 on the base plate 10, the angle of rotation of the bottle holder 20 relative to the base plate 10 can be set as desired, so that the bottle can not only be rotated from a drinking position to a parking position, but in particular the angle of rotation for the drinking position can be set individually can. This means that the bottle cage system 1 can also be used on both sides, i.e. it can be placed over the right shoulder as well as over the left shoulder.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist, kann die Fütterung des Babys mit einem Arm erfolgen, sodass die zweite Hand frei ist.How out Fig. 1 As can be seen, the baby can be fed with one arm so that the other hand is free.

An dem freien Endabschnitt 61 des Gurtes 60 kann ein Gewicht angeordnet sein, um ein Verrutschen des Gurtes auf der Schulter weitestgehend zu verhindern, etwa wenn eine schwere Flasche in dem Flaschenhalter 20 aufgenommen wird. Um ein solches Verrutschen zu verhindern, kann alternativ oder zusätzlich die Unterseite des Gurtes, d.h. die dem Körper des Trägers zugewandte Seite des Gurtes 60, jedenfalls im Bereich der Schulter eine rutschhemmende Oberfläche aufweisen. In Fig. 1 weist diese Oberfläche eine geriffelte Struktur auf, die ein Verrutschen verhindert.A weight can be arranged on the free end section 61 of the belt 60 in order to largely prevent the belt from slipping on the shoulder, for example when a heavy bottle is being held in the bottle holder 20. In order to prevent such slipping, the underside can alternatively or additionally of the belt, ie the side of the belt 60 facing the body of the wearer, at least have a non-slip surface in the area of the shoulder. In Fig. 1 this surface has a corrugated structure that prevents it from slipping.

Fig. 2 zeigt ein erfindungsgemäßes Flaschenhaltersystem 1 in zwei perspektivischen Ansichten, wobei in Abbildung (a) die Oberseite und in Abbildung (b) die Unterseite des Flaschenhaltersystems 1 zu sehen ist. Fig. 2 shows a bottle holder system 1 according to the invention in two perspective views, the top side of the bottle holder system 1 being shown in Figure (a) and the bottom side of the bottle holder system 1 in Figure (b).

Fig. 3 zeigt das in Fig. 2 gezeigte Flaschenhaltersystem 1 in einer Ansicht von oben (Abbildung (a)), in einer Ansicht von unten (Abbildung (b)) und in einer Seitenansicht (Abbildung (c)). Fig. 3 shows that in Fig. 2 Bottle holder system 1 shown in a view from above (Figure (a)), in a view from below (Figure (b)) and in a side view (Figure (c)).

Das Flaschenhaltersystem 1 besteht bzw. umfasst im Wesentlichen eine Basisplatte 10, einen Flaschenhalter 20 und ein Arretiermittel 30. Der Flaschenhalter 20 ist an der Vorderseite V der Basisplatte 10 angeordnet. Das Arretiermittel 30 ist hingegen an der Rückseite R der Basisplatte 10 angeordnet.The bottle holder system 1 consists or essentially comprises a base plate 10, a bottle holder 20 and a locking means 30. The bottle holder 20 is arranged on the front side V of the base plate 10. The locking means 30, on the other hand, is arranged on the rear side R of the base plate 10.

Die Anordnung des Flaschenhalters 20 und des Arretiermittels 30 an der Basisplatte 10 erfolgt derart, dass der Flaschenhalter 20 mit dem Arretiermittel 30 zusammenwirkt bzw. gekoppelt ist. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass der an der Vorderseite V der Basisplatte 10 angeordnete Flaschenhalter 20 gegen ein selbständiges Verdrehen relativ zur Basisplatte 10 gesichert wird.The arrangement of the bottle holder 20 and the locking means 30 on the base plate 10 takes place in such a way that the bottle holder 20 interacts or is coupled with the locking means 30. This ensures that the bottle holder 20 arranged on the front side V of the base plate 10 is secured against independent rotation relative to the base plate 10.

Das Arretiermittel 30 selbst ist bei der hier gezeigten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Flaschenhaltersystems 1 als Scheibe ausgestaltet, die mit einer gewissen Kraft F1 gegen die Rückseite R der Basisplatte 10 gedrückt wird, wie mit Bezug auf Fig. 4 näher beschrieben ist. Durch diese Kraft F1 wird zwischen der Basisplatte 10 und der Scheibe 30 eine Haftreibung erzeugt, die ausreichend ist, um einem selbstständigen Drehen des Flaschenhalters 20 relativ zur Basisplatte 10 entgegenzuwirken. In the embodiment of the bottle holder system 1 according to the invention shown here, the locking means 30 itself is designed as a disk which is pressed with a certain force F 1 against the rear side R of the base plate 10, as with reference to FIG Fig. 4 is described in more detail. This force F 1 generates static friction between the base plate 10 and the disk 30 which is sufficient to counteract an independent rotation of the bottle holder 20 relative to the base plate 10.

Durch Drücken des Flaschenhalters 20 gegen die Basisplatte 10 wird die Scheibe 30 von der Rückseite R der Basisplatte 10 gelöst, sodass der Kraft- bzw. Reibschluss zwischen der Scheibe 30 und der Basisplatte 10 verlorengeht und der Flaschenhalter 20 um die Drehachse DA relativ zur Basisplatte 10 gedreht werden kann (wie in Abbildung (a) der Fig. 3 gezeigt). Je nach konkreter Ausgestaltung des Arretiermittels 30 kann der Flaschenhalter 20 um einen beliebigen Winkel α gedreht werden bzw. in einem beliebigen Winkel α relativ zur Basisplatte 10 arretiert werden. In Abbildung (a) der Fig. 3 ist der Flaschenhalter 20 in zwei verschiedenen Drehwinkeln gezeigt.By pressing the bottle holder 20 against the base plate 10, the disc 30 is released from the rear side R of the base plate 10, so that the frictional connection between the disc 30 and the base plate 10 is lost and the bottle holder 20 about the axis of rotation DA relative to the base plate 10 can be rotated (as shown in Figure (a) of the Fig. 3 shown). Depending on the specific configuration of the locking means 30, the bottle holder 20 can be rotated through any desired angle α or locked at any desired angle α relative to the base plate 10. In Figure (a) of the Fig. 3 the bottle holder 20 is shown in two different angles of rotation.

Fig. 4 zeigt einen Längsschnitt eines erfindungsgemäßen Flaschenhaltersystems 1 (in Abbildung (b) in einer perspektivischen Ansicht) und zwei Detailansichten. An der Vorderseite V der Basisplatte 10 ist der Flaschenhalter 20 drehbar um die senkrecht zur Basisplatte verlaufende Drehachse DA angeordnet. An der Rückseite R der Basisplatte 10 ist das Arretiermittel 30 angeordnet, das hier als Scheibe ausgestaltet ist. Fig. 4 shows a longitudinal section of a bottle holder system 1 according to the invention (in Figure (b) in a perspective view) and two detailed views. On the front side V of the base plate 10, the bottle holder 20 is arranged to be rotatable about the axis of rotation DA running perpendicular to the base plate. The locking means 30, which is designed here as a disk, is arranged on the rear side R of the base plate 10.

An der Rückseite, d.h. an der der Basisplatte 10 zugwandten Seite des Flaschenhalters 20 ist ein Verbindungselement 21 angeordnet, das hier als Verbindungszapfen ausgestaltet ist. Der Flaschenhalter 20 und der Verbindungszapfen 21 können einteilig bzw. einstückig ausgestaltet sein. Aus Produktionsgründen können der Flaschenhalter 20 und der Verbindungszapfen 21 auch zweiteilig ausgestaltet sein. Werden der Flaschenhalter 20 und der Verbindungszapfen 21 zweiteilig hergestellt, dann werden sie fest miteinander verbunden.On the rear side, i.e. on the side of the bottle holder 20 facing the base plate 10, a connecting element 21 is arranged, which is designed here as a connecting pin. The bottle holder 20 and the connecting pin 21 can be designed in one piece or in one piece. For production reasons, the bottle holder 20 and the connecting pin 21 can also be designed in two parts. If the bottle holder 20 and the connecting pin 21 are made in two parts, then they are firmly connected to one another.

Der Verbindungszapfen 21 ragt senkrecht an der Rückseite des Flaschenhalters 20 hervor und greift in ein Durchgangsloch 11 der Basisplatte 10 ein, sodass er an der Rückseite R der Basisplatte 10 hervorsteht.The connecting pin 21 protrudes vertically on the rear side of the bottle holder 20 and engages in a through hole 11 of the base plate 10, so that it protrudes on the rear side R of the base plate 10.

Bei der hier gezeigten Ausgestaltung des Flaschenhaltersystems 1 weist der Verbindungszapfen 21 zwei Abschnitte 22 und 23 auf. Der Abschnitt 22 ist jener Abschnitt, der durch das Durchgangsloch 11 hindurch geführt ist und an der Rückseite der Basisplatte 10 übersteht. Der Abschnitt 23 ist jener Abschnitt, der an der Vorderseite V der Basisplatte 10 angeordnet ist und lediglich in das Durchgangsloch 11 hineinragt. Das Durchgangsloch 11 der Basisplatte 10 und der Abschnitt 23 des Verbindungszapfens 21 weisen einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt auf, wobei der Außendurchmesser des Verbindungszapfens 21 in etwa gleich groß ist wie der Durchmesser des Durchgangsloches 11.In the embodiment of the bottle holder system 1 shown here, the connecting pin 21 has two sections 22 and 23. The section 22 is that section which is passed through the through hole 11 and protrudes on the rear side of the base plate 10. The section 23 is that section which is arranged on the front side V of the base plate 10 and only protrudes into the through hole 11. The through hole 11 of the base plate 10 and the section 23 of the connecting pin 21 have a circular cross section, the outer diameter of the connecting pin 21 being approximately the same as the diameter of the through hole 11.

Zwischen den beiden Abschnitten 22 und 23 ist an dem Verbindungszapfen 21 eine radial umlaufende Auskragung 24 vorgesehen, wobei der Durchmesser des Abschnittes 22 kleiner ist als der Durchmesser des Abschnittes 23. Die Auskragung 24 bildet quasi eine Stufe zwischen den beiden Abschnitten 22 und 23.A radially circumferential projection 24 is provided on the connecting pin 21 between the two sections 22 and 23, the diameter of the section 22 being smaller than the diameter of the section 23. The projection 24 forms a step between the two sections 22 and 23.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Querschnitt des Abschnittes 22 des Verbindungszapfens 21 nicht kreisförmig ist. Bei der in Fig. 4 gezeigten Ausgestaltung weist der Abschnitt 22 des Verbindungszapfens 21 einen mehreckigen, etwa 8-eckigen Querschnitt auf.It is advantageous if the cross section of the section 22 of the connecting pin 21 is not circular. At the in Fig. 4 The embodiment shown, the section 22 of the connecting pin 21 has a polygonal, approximately octagonal cross-section.

Das Arretiermittel bzw. die Scheibe 30 weist ein Durchgangsloch 33 auf, mit dem die Scheibe auf den Abschnitt 22 des Verbindungszapfens 21 aufgeschoben wird. Vorteilhaft ist es hierbei, wenn das Durchgangsloch 33 einen Querschnitt aufweist, der mit dem Querschnitt des Abschnittes 22 des Verbindungszapfens 21 korrespondiert. Dadurch wird ein Drehen der Scheibe 30 relativ zum Abschnitt 22 des Verbindungszapfens 21 verhindert.The locking means or the disk 30 has a through hole 33 with which the disk is pushed onto the section 22 of the connecting pin 21. It is advantageous here if the through hole 33 has a cross section which corresponds to the cross section of the section 22 of the connecting pin 21. This prevents the disk 30 from rotating relative to the section 22 of the connecting pin 21.

Die Scheibe 30 wird so weit auf den Verbindungszapfen 21 aufgeschoben, bis sie auf der Auskragung 24 des Verbindungszapfens 21 aufliegt. Anschließend wird an dem an der Scheibe 30 überstehenden Abschnitt des Verbindungszapfens 21 ein Befestigungsmittel 50 angebracht, das ein axiales Bewegen der Scheibe 30 relativ zum Verbindungszapfen 21 verhindert. Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn mit dem Befestigungsmittel 50 die Scheibe 30 fest zwischen dem Befestigungsmittel 50 und der Auskragung 24 des Verbindungszapfens 21 eingespannt wird.The disk 30 is pushed onto the connecting pin 21 until it rests on the projection 24 of the connecting pin 21. Subsequently, a fastening means 50 is attached to the portion of the connecting pin 21 protruding from the disk 30, which allows the disk 30 to move axially relative to one another to the connecting pin 21 prevented. It is advantageous if the disk 30 is firmly clamped between the fastening means 50 and the projection 24 of the connecting pin 21 with the fastening means 50.

Das Befestigungsmittel 50 ist hier als eine Art Stecker ausgestaltet, der in eine Aussparung des Verbindungszapfens 21 eingeschoben wird. Alternativ können auch ein Sicherungsring oder ähnliche geeignete Mittel zum Sichern des Befestigungsmittels 50 an dem Verbindungszapfens 21 vorgesehen sein.The fastening means 50 is designed here as a type of plug which is pushed into a recess in the connecting pin 21. Alternatively, a securing ring or similar suitable means for securing the fastening means 50 on the connecting pin 21 can also be provided.

In Fig. 4 ist auch eine alternative Ausgestaltung des Verbindungszapfens 21 gezeigt, wobei der an dem Arretiermittel bzw. an der Scheibe 30 überstehende Abschnitt 22b als Schraubengewinde ausgestaltet ist, an dem eine hier gestrichelt gezeigte Mutter 50 als Befestigungsmittel angebracht werden kann. Der in dem Durchgangsloch 33 der Scheibe 30 angeordnete Abschnitt 22a des Verbindungszapfens 21 weist auch hier keinen kreisförmigen Querschnitt auf, wobei das Durchgangsloch 33 der Scheibe 30 mit dem Querschnitt des Abschnittes 22a korrespondiert.In Fig. 4 an alternative embodiment of the connecting pin 21 is also shown, the portion 22b protruding from the locking means or the washer 30 being designed as a screw thread to which a nut 50, shown here in dashed lines, can be attached as a fastening means. The section 22a of the connecting pin 21 arranged in the through hole 33 of the disk 30 also does not have a circular cross section here, the through hole 33 of the disk 30 corresponding to the cross section of the section 22a.

An der Vorderseite der Basisplatte 10 und zwischen dem Flaschenhalter 20 und der Basisplatte 10 sind Feststellmittel 40 vorgesehen, mit denen der Flaschenhalter 20 mit einer Kraft F1 von der Basisplatte 10 weggedrückt wird, sodass sich zwischen dem Flaschenhalter 20 und der Basisplatte 10 ein Spalt mit dem Abstand d bildet. Als Feststellmittel 40 können etwa Schraubendruckfedern vorgesehen sein, die an dem Verbindungszapfens 21 angeordnet sind.On the front of the base plate 10 and between the bottle holder 20 and the base plate 10, locking means 40 are provided with which the bottle holder 20 is pushed away from the base plate 10 with a force F 1 , so that a gap is formed between the bottle holder 20 and the base plate 10 the distance d forms. For example, helical compression springs, which are arranged on the connecting pin 21, can be provided as the locking means 40.

Die Kraft F1 bewirkt, dass die Scheibe 30 mit einer entsprechenden Kraft gegen die Rückseite der Basisplatte 10 gedrückt wird. Die dadurch bewirkte Haftreibung zwischen der Scheibe 30 und der Basisplatte 10 gewährleistet, dass sich der Flaschenhalter 20 auch mit schweren Flaschen nicht selbstständig um die Drehachse DA dreht.The force F 1 causes the disk 30 to be pressed against the rear side of the base plate 10 with a corresponding force. The resulting static friction between the disk 30 and the base plate 10 ensures that the bottle holder 20 does not rotate independently about the axis of rotation DA, even with heavy bottles.

Um den Flaschenhalter 20 manuell um die Drehachse DA drehen zu können, etwa um die in dem Flaschenhalter 20 aufgenommene Flasche auszurichten, kann der Flaschenhalter 20 mit einer Kraft F2 gegen die Basisplatte 10 gedrückt werden. Dadurch verringert sich der Abstand d zwischen dem Flaschenhalter 20 und der Basisplatte 10. Gleichzeitig löst sich die Scheibe 30 von der Rückseite der Basisplatte 10, sodass die Haftreibung zwischen der Scheibe 30 und der Basisplatte 10 aufgehoben wird. Der Flaschenhalter 20 kann nun (während er gedrückt wird) um die Drehachse DA gedreht werden. Nach Erreichen des gewünschten Drehwinkels α wird der Flaschenhalter 20 losgelassen, sodass aufgrund der Kraft F1 die Scheibe 30 wieder gegen die Basisplatte 10 gedrückt wird und den Flaschenhalter 20 bei dem eingestellten Drehwinkel arretiert.In order to be able to rotate the bottle holder 20 manually about the axis of rotation DA, for example to align the bottle received in the bottle holder 20, the bottle holder 20 can be pressed against the base plate 10 with a force F 2. As a result, the distance d between the bottle holder 20 and the base plate 10 is reduced. At the same time, the disc 30 is released from the rear side of the base plate 10, so that the static friction between the disc 30 and the base plate 10 is eliminated. The bottle holder 20 can now (while it is pressed) be rotated about the axis of rotation DA. After the desired angle of rotation α has been reached, the bottle holder 20 is released so that, due to the force F 1, the disk 30 is pressed again against the base plate 10 and the bottle holder 20 is locked at the set angle of rotation.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Flaschenhaltersystems 1 kann die der Basisplatte 10 zugewandte Seite der Scheibe 30 eine nicht plane Oberfläche aufweisen, wobei die Rückseite der Basisplatte 10 eine dazu korrespondierende Oberfläche aufweist. Dadurch kann noch besser gewährleistet werden, dass sich die Scheibe 30 - und damit auch der Flaschenhalter 20 - nicht selbstständig um die Drehachse DA drehen. Denn bei dieser Ausgestaltung müsste hierzu nicht nur die Haftreibung zwischen der Scheibe 30 und der Basisplatte 10 überwunden werden, sondern auch der Formschluss zwischen der Scheibe 30 und der Basisplatte 10, was nur durch ein Drücken des Flaschenhalter 20 gegen die Basisplatte 10 möglich ist.In a preferred embodiment of the bottle holder system 1 according to the invention, the side of the pane 30 facing the base plate 10 can have a non-planar surface, the rear side of the base plate 10 having a surface corresponding thereto. This makes it possible to ensure even better that the disk 30 - and thus also the bottle holder 20 - do not rotate independently about the axis of rotation DA. In this embodiment, not only would the static friction between the disk 30 and the base plate 10 have to be overcome, but also the form fit between the disk 30 and the base plate 10, which is only possible by pressing the bottle holder 20 against the base plate 10.

Bei der hier gezeigten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind an der der Basisplatte 10 zugewandten Seite der Scheibe 30 eine Anzahl von Noppen 31 vorgesehen, die mit einer Anzahl von an der Rückseite der Basisplatte 10 ausgebildeten Vertiefungen 32 korrespondieren. Im arretierten Zustand greifen diese Noppen 31 in die entsprechenden Vertiefungen 32 ein und verhindern so ein selbstständiges Drehen der Scheibe 30 um die Drehachse DA relativ zur Basisplatte 10. Durch Drücken des Flaschenhalters 20 mit einer Kraft F2 gegen die Basisplatte 10 werden die Noppen 31 aus den Vertiefungen 32 herausbewegt, sodass die Scheibe 30 dann gedreht werden kann. Die Noppen und die Vertiefungen sind in Umfangsrichtung gleichmäßig verteilt angeordnet, sodass die Noppen 31 nach einer Drehung der Scheibe 30 um einen Winkel α wieder in Vertiefungen 32 eingreifen können. Je mehr Noppen bzw. Vertiefungen vorgesehen sind, umso mehr unterschiedliche Drehwinkel können eingestellt werden, bei denen der Flaschenhalter 20 arretiert werden kann.In the embodiment of the invention shown here, a number of knobs 31 are provided on the side of the disk 30 facing the base plate 10, which correspond to a number of depressions 32 formed on the rear side of the base plate 10. In the locked state, these knobs 31 engage in the corresponding depressions 32 and thus prevent the disk 30 from rotating independently about the axis of rotation DA relative to the base plate 10. By pressing the bottle holder 20 with a force F 2 against the base plate 10, the knobs 31 are removed the recesses 32 moved out, so that the disk 30 is then rotated can be. The knobs and the recesses are arranged uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, so that the knobs 31 can again engage in recesses 32 after the disk 30 has been rotated through an angle α. The more knobs or depressions are provided, the more different angles of rotation can be set at which the bottle holder 20 can be locked.

Fig. 5 zeigt ein erfindungsgemäßes Flaschenhaltersystem 1 in einer Explosionsansicht (in Abbildung (a) von schräg oben und in Abbildung (b) von schräg unten). Von oben werden der Flaschenhalter 20 und das Feststellmittel 40 an der Basisplatte 10 angeordnet, wobei das Verbindungselement 21 des Flaschenhalters 20 durch das Durchgangsloch 11 der Basisplatte 10 hindurchgeschoben wird. Von unten wird die Scheibe 30 auf den an der Unterseite der Basisplatte 10 hervorstehenden Abschnitt des Verbindungselements 21 aufgeschoben und mit einem Befestigungsmittel 30 an dem Verbindungselement 21 befestigt. Fig. 5 shows a bottle holder system 1 according to the invention in an exploded view (in figure (a) from obliquely above and in figure (b) from obliquely below). The bottle holder 20 and the locking means 40 are arranged on the base plate 10 from above, the connecting element 21 of the bottle holder 20 being pushed through the through hole 11 of the base plate 10. The disk 30 is pushed from below onto the section of the connecting element 21 protruding from the underside of the base plate 10 and is fastened to the connecting element 21 with a fastening means 30.
