Description
- The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a)-(d) to French Patent Application No. 0402627, filed Mar. 15, 2004. The entire contents of this French application are hereby expressly incorporated by this reference thereto.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates generally to a fastening device for a takealong bottle. More specifically, the invention fits small drink bottles and aims to provide the user with a way of holding the bottle that is practical and reliable in such takealong conditions.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Various methods of holding bottles are known. The most commonly used solutions are either to hold a bottle in one's hand whilst on the move or to have a rucksack in which the user places his bottle. These solutions take little space and restrict the user's freedom of movement. Different solutions are also known involving straps that enable bottles to be held over the shoulder or on the back. Such devices with straps have in particular the disadvantage of having a bottle that is badly held and that bangs against the user as he walks.
- One of the main objects of the invention is a fastening device which allows the bottle to be held on the body in such a way that the user is able to carry out activities indoors or outdoors, sporting or professional, with a bottle permanently to hand.
- It is an object of the invention is to propose a practical and functional device.
- It is an object of the invention to propose a low-cost solution that fits every user in every type of circumstance. It is compact and takes up very little space. Made of monobloc plastic, it is very cheap to manufacture.
- It is an object of the invention to propose a device that does not hinder the user's movements during his activity.
- A main aspect of the invention is that it includes a device for fastening it onto the user and a device for holding the neck of the bottle.
- In one aspect of the invention, the user fastening device is fixed preferably at the user's waist. It is an elastic clip which grips the hem of the waisted item of clothing, trousers or dress on the waist hem at the level of the belt. The reason for placing this device in this position is that it is situated at a place that corresponds to the way a very large part of users dress, that is to say that any user who is wearing a pair of trousers, shorts or a skirt. Placed on the side at hip level it does not hinder the user in his movements.
- In one aspect of the invention, the device for fastening onto the bottle neck is an elastic clip which grips the bottle neck. This clip at once allows the bottle to be held firmly and to be easily attached and unattached.
- Figures enclosed in the annexes represent a particular mode of the invention, in which:
-
FIG. 1 represents a view of the invention from above -
FIG. 2 represents a side view of the invention -
FIG. 3 represents another side view in cross section - This invention concerns an easy-fastening device for a takealong bottle. The invention fits small drink bottles (such as 33 cl or 50 cl bottles) and aims to provide the user with a way of holding the bottle that is practical and reliable in such takealong conditions.
-
FIG. 1 represents a view from above of the takealong bottle fastening device (1) which is fixed at the user's waist on his waisted item of clothing (20), trousers, shorts or skirt, clipping round the edge of the waist (20), on either side of the item of clothing. This device may also be fixed onto a pocket or onto a belt loop strap. In this form, the invention is monobloc in injected plastic. The device for clipping onto the user (11) consist of two plates (11 a, 11 b) generally rectangular in shape, linked to each other at the top of one of them and by means of a top link (16) with elastic characteristics so that the two plates (11 a, 11 b) clip the waist hem (20) of the item of clothing worn by the user. A first plate (11 a) being in contact with the user's waist, and a second plate (11 b) serving as the fixing support for a bottle clip (12, 13). This bottle clip includes a connecting piece (13) making the link between the second plate (11 b) whose function is to position a clip (12) at a sufficient distance from the plates (11) as to leave sufficient distance (D) for half the width of a standard bottle to fit between the bottle clip (12) and the second plate (11 a). The clip (12) takes the form of a portion of a ring covering about 260° with an opening (14) that will allow the neck of the bottle (B) through,FIG. 3 . This shape is optimized to serve a double function, the first function being to offer an easy way of attaching—unattaching the neck of a bottle which fits into the hollow part of the clip. The clip being elastic due to its being made of plastic and within a margin of elasticity corresponding to the threshold of tolerance and in particular as a result of its particular geometry with a ring opening (14) corresponding to at least a quarter of the circumference of a complete ring of the same size. The second function being to serve as a support,FIG. 3 , for the collar (C) that traditionally features on the neck of takealong drink bottles (B).FIG. 2 represents a side view of the invention showing the neck clip (12) on the connecting piece (13) joined to the second plate (11 b). - The invention therefore concerns a fastening device for a takealong bottle (1) consisting of a bottle holding device (12, 13) and a device for fastening it to the user (11, 16) connected by a connecting piece (13) characterized in that the bottle holding device holds the bottle by the neck underneath the collar (C) and that the device for holding it on the user includes methods of fastening it to the user's waist which may be fixed onto the hem of an item of clothing (20) worn buy the user and in particular and preferably on a waist hem.
- The invention concerns a fastening device for a takealong bottle (1) characterized in that the bottle holding device (12) is a clip in the form of a portion of a ring with a ring opening (14) at least equal in length to a quarter of the length of the ring.
- The invention concerns a fastening device for a takealong bottle (1) characterized in that the device for holding it onto the user is a clip formed by two plates (11 a, 11 b) connected together at the top (16) by a link which gives the assembly of the two plates a character of elasticity.
- The invention concerns a fastening device for a takealong bottle (1) characterized in that it is monobloc, made for example of injected plastic and that the maximum dimension of the connecting piece (13) does not exceed a length of 2 centimeters, that is the length sufficient to lodge the bottle along the user's waist.
- It can clearly be seen that numerous variations that may be liable to be combined can be made here without moving outside the scope of the invention as it is defined below.
