    专利说明:

    The invention relates to a bottle holder for holding a bottle, in particular disposable PET bottle, in the form of a cup for receiving a lower part of the bottle.
    There are known bottle holders that facilitate pouring beverages from the bottle. For example, holders are known which are screwed onto the thread of the bottle and have a handle. Also known are brackets that serve as a handle and have a base part, into which the base of the bottle is inserted, and a neck part, which is placed on the bottle neck. However, opening a bottle is not made easier by these devices. To make opening a bottle easier, bottle openers are known which are placed on the lid and have extended lever arms for actuation. However, these facilities are not suitable for people who have a disability, possibly only temporary, such that they only have one hand to handle the bottle.
    A bottle holder that makes it easier to open a bottle with just one hand is known from DE 20 2014 003 085 U1. The bottle holder has a base plate and a holder attached thereto in the form of a helically designed loop which runs around the bottle inserted into the holder by a circumferential angle of at least 360°. Depending on the tolerances of the outer circumference of the bottle, however, the insertion of the bottle can be difficult or, conversely, the bottle cannot be sufficiently secured against rotation.
    A bottle holder of the type mentioned to facilitate opening the bottle with just one hand is shown in AT 521 608 B. Inside the cup, a pressure part made of cellular rubber is attached to the bottom of the cup. To open a bottle with one hand, the bottle is placed in the cup and the screw cap is then operated with one hand, while the bottle is pressed down at the same time. The bottle is held against rotation by the friction against the compressed pressing part. However, the associated effort is relatively high.
    The object of the invention is to provide a particularly practical bottle holder to facilitate opening a bottle with just one hand. According to the invention, this is achieved by a bottle holder with the features of claim 1.
    When bottle holder according to the invention, the bottom of the cup inside the cup (ie on its top) is formed with a recess whose outer edge (= outer boundary) has a shape deviating from the circular shape. The side walls of this recess are designed to slope downwards. To open a bottle with one hand, the bottle is placed in the cup and the screw cap is operated with one hand while gently pressing down on the bottle. Commercially available bottles, in particular non-returnable PET bottles, usually do not have a smooth bottom, but rather there are several ribs or humps spaced apart in the circumferential direction (=rotational direction about the longitudinal central axis). A common design is for the base to have five ribs spaced equiangularly from each other, running radially from the edge of the base to near the center. Due to the depression with the outer boundary deviating from the circular shape and the sloping side walls, a certain form fit can be achieved relative to the base in relation to the direction of rotation of the bottle about its longitudinal axis, in order to enable the rotary closure to be opened. The downward pressure to be exerted by the user can be kept relatively low.
    In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the depression in the base of the cup has a rotational symmetry with an angle of >= 36° and <= 90° in relation to a rotation about the vertical longitudinal center axis of the cup. There is preferably at least 4-fold symmetry with respect to a rotation about the longitudinal central axis of the cup. The symmetry is preferably 5-fold, ie with an angle of rotation of 72°.
    Advantageously, the side walls of the depression are formed by the side surfaces of a downwardly tapering truncated pyramid at least over part of their extent, preferably at least over the majority of their extent (ie over more than 50% of their respective area). This is particularly preferably the case for at least more than 80% of the extent of the respective side wall. It is particularly advantageous if this truncated pyramid is the truncated pyramid of a five-sided pyramid.
    Advantageously, the angle that a respective side wall of the depression includes, at least over a large part of the extent of the respective side wall (ie over more than 50% of its respective area), with the horizontal is in the range of 50° to 70° . This is particularly preferably the case for at least more than 80% of the extent of the respective side wall.
    An advantageous development of the invention provides that the wall of the cup is provided on the inside in the region of its upper end with at least one inwardly projecting projection. This can advantageously be a strip-like projection which extends over a part of the circumference of the cup, for example over a circumferential area in the range from 20° to 90°. However, an embodiment with one or more nub-like projections is also conceivable and possible. After inserting the bottle into the cup and at least after opening the closure of the bottle, the bottle experiences some instability. At the latest, the projection can press inwards on the wall of the bottle at the point of its pressure point. The bottle is then secured against slipping out with a certain form fit by the dent produced in its wall when the cup is also used to pour a beverage out of the bottle and is thus tilted accordingly together with the bottle.
    The inner diameter of the cup is advantageously in the range from 88mm to 95mm, particularly preferably in the range from 90mm to 92mm. This dimension enables use with standard commercially available 1.5 l bottles.
    At least one anti-slip element or an anti-slip layer is advantageously arranged on the underside of the bottom of the cup, with which or with which the bottle holder rests on a substrate.
    Even without the user being handicapped, a bottle holder designed in accordance with the invention offers advantages in handling, especially with thin-walled PET bottles. When such a bottle is opened, the pressure escapes and it becomes very unstable. As a result, if the bottle is pressed too hard with the other hand when opening, the contents will squirt out. Such a bottle is also very unstable when pouring a drink. These disadvantages can be overcome with a bottle holder according to the invention.
    Further advantages and details of the invention are explained below with reference to the accompanying drawing. 1 shows an oblique view of a bottle holder according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention; Figure 2 is a side view; Figure 3 is a view from above; Figure 4 is a view from below; Figure 5 is a section along line A-A of Figure 2; Fig. 6 is a section along the line B-B of Fig. 3, an inserted bottle indicated in broken lines; Figure 7 is a section along line C-C of Figure 3; Fig. 8 is a plan view analogous to Fig. 3 of a modified embodiment of the invention.
    A first embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 7. The bottle holder is in the form of a cup. The cup is preferably made of a plastic, such as PP. In the exemplary embodiment, the inner diameter a of the cup is in the range of 88 mm to 95 mm, preferably 90 mm to 92 mm, over a large part of the height of the cup (apart from the uppermost area in which the at least one inwardly protruding projection 2a is arranged). The height b of the cup is favorably at least 150 mm, 180 mm in the exemplary embodiment.
    On the outside, the mug has a handle 1, e.g., integral with the wall 2 of the mug. The handle 1 has a handle opening for reaching through with the hand.
    On the underside of the bottom 3 of the cup anti-slip elements 4 are advantageously arranged, for example glued. For example, there can be several individual anti-slip elements 4 distributed around the circumference of the floor. Instead, for example, there could be a single annular anti-slip element extending around the circumference or a disc-shaped anti-slip element extending substantially over the entire floor. The at least one anti-slip element 4 is formed from a material with a high coefficient of friction. In particular, the at least one anti-slip element 4 consists of a rubber elastomer or thermoplastic elastomer.
    Instead, the floor could be provided on its underside with a non-slip layer forming coating with a material with a high coefficient of friction.
    On the upper side of the base 3, which is thus inside the cup, the base 3 is formed with a depression 5. In the exemplary embodiment, the outer edge of the depression 5 essentially has the shape of a regular pentagon. As shown, the extent of this pentagon can be somewhat larger than the outer circumference of the base 3, so that the corners of the pentagon are cut off by the circular boundary of the base 3. However, the pentagon could also lie completely within the outer boundary of the bottom 3 .
    The side walls 5a of the recess are designed to slope downwards, approaching the central longitudinal axis 8 of the cup from top to bottom. The angle 6, which the side walls 5a enclose with the horizontal, is preferably in the range of 50° to 70°, in the exemplary embodiment approximately 60°.
    The side walls 5a are flat in the embodiment.
    The bottom 5b of the recess 5 is preferably flat. The base 5b of the recess has a boundary in the form of a regular pentagon towards the side walls 5a. Overall, the depression in the exemplary embodiment has at least essentially the shape of a truncated pyramid of a straight five-sided pyramid tapering downwards.
    To open a bottle 7, which is only indicated in FIG. The longitudinal center axis of the bottle then corresponds at least essentially to the longitudinal center axis 8 of the cup. The bottle 7 has a plurality of, for example five, ribs 7a on the underside of its bottom. These each extend from the peripheral edge of the bottom of the bottle in the direction of the center to near the center and are spaced apart from one another by equal angles with respect to the direction of rotation about the longitudinal central axis of the bottle.
    If the bottle 7 is pressed slightly down and the screw cap is turned, the bottle 7 will be relatively easy to rotate relative to the cup first, until the ribs 7a come to rest just in the corner areas of the recess 5, if this is not already the case from the outset. The bottle 7 thus comes to rest in the recess 5 in its lowest possible position. If the screw cap is rotated further and the bottle is thereby pressed downwards, further rotation of the bottle relative to the cup without the bottle being lifted is blocked. The screw cap can thus be opened with one hand.
    In the region of its upper end, the wall 2 of the cup has an inwardly projecting projection 2a on its inside. In the exemplary embodiment, this is in the form of a strip and runs horizontally, extending over an angular range of, for example, 45°. This angular range is preferably in the range from 20° to 90°. Instead of a strip-shaped projection, at least one nub-shaped projection could also be present. In the case of the configuration as a nub-shaped projection, it is preferred that several such nub-shaped projections are present, which are spaced apart from one another around the cup in relation to the circumference. These nub-shaped projections could then be distributed over part of the circumference, which is for example in the range from 20° to 90°, or over the entire circumference of the wall 2 of the cup.
    By the at least one projection 2a, the bottle 7 is pressed inward in the region of the projection and is thus secured against sliding out of the cup. The bottle 7 is advantageously pressed in at the latest when the closure of the bottle 7 is opened at least a little, so that the bottle 7 experiences a certain instability due to a corresponding drop in pressure in the bottle.
    For pouring liquid from the bottle 7, the bottle holder can be added to the handle 1 and tilted.
    Instead of the at least one projection or in addition to this, at least one compression part could be arranged on the inside of the wall 2 of the cup, which is compressed when the bottle is inserted. At least one such compression part could be glued to the inside of the wall 2. This could, for example, also extend downwards from the area of the upper end of the wall 2 of the cup.
    The depression 5 could also have a different shape, with the outer edge of the depression each having a shape deviating from the circular shape and the side walls of the depression approaching the longitudinal central axis of the cup from top to bottom. For example, the outer edge of the indentation could at least essentially have the shape of a regular polygon with fewer than five or more than five corners. In this case, the depression could preferably have the shape of a truncated pyramid of a right pyramid with fewer or more than five sides.
    A modified embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. Here the sloping side walls 5a of the depression are themselves provided with a depression or trough 9 in a middle region. Additional form-fitting elements are thus formed, in which humps or ribs arranged on the underside of the base of the bottle can come to lie, in order to form a form-fitting connection against rotation of the bottle 7 about its longitudinal central axis when the bottle 7 is pressed down.
