Stackable bicycle with top

The present invention relates to a set with a first and a second stackable bicycle, each bicycle being made of a material so that the bicycle can be blow-molded from a preform. The invention is mainly intended to be applied to large bottles, these are cartridges with a content between 3 liters and 30 liters, preferably between 5 liters and 25 liters, more preferably between 10 and 20 liters.

EP 2 292 519 describes a set with a first and a second stackable bottle made of PET. A handle can be attached to the sleeve of the bicycle by means of an annular fastening element by means of a click system. The handle is rotatable around the tube of the bicycle so that it is easy to grip from multiple directions to lift the bicycle. The bicycle can be easily carried via the handle. The bottom of each bicycle is provided with a peripheral bottom part and a central bottom part, wherein the central bottom part has a recess. The protrusion has dimensions chosen so that when one bicycle is stacked on another bicycle, the protrusion covers a bottle cap, a bottle neck and a handle of an underlying bicycle, when the peripheral bottom part rests on the shoulder of the underlying bicycle. In this way, a set of stackable bottles is obtained which, on the one hand, are easily stackable and, on the other hand, are easily portable, due to the handle.

A drawback of these bottles is that blow molding of a bicycle with such a depression is difficult.

EP 2 536 640 describes an alternative set of stackable bottles. In addition, each bicycle is provided with a top part which can be attached via an annular fastening element that can click over the sleeve of the bicycle. The top part extends to the peripheral edge of the bicycle and ensures that when another bicycle is placed on the bicycle, the top part of the bicycle forms a supporting surface for the bottom of the bicycle which is placed thereon. As a result, the bottles do not have to be provided with a recess as in the above-mentioned prior art, whereby the bottles can be formed notably cheaper. In the top part, a handle is provided so that the bike is easy to carry.

A drawback of the bottles from this set is that the top part is expensive to manufacture and the top part limits the handling of the bicycle because the top part is around the handle.

It is an object of the invention to provide a stackable bicycle which is easy to handle, easy to manufacture and which is stackable.

To this end, the invention provides a set comprising at least a first and a second stackable bicycle, each bicycle being formed by blow molding from a preform,

2016/5754

BE2016 / 5754 in which each bicycle has a bottom part which has a central bottom part and a peripheral bottom part, wherein said central bottom part has a depression which is dimensioned such that the depression of the first bicycle envelops a bottle cap and a bottle neck of the second bicycle in a stacking position each frame comprising an upper part arranged around a bottle neck, said upper part comprising an annular element with fasteners on an inner side of the annular element such that the upper part is provided to slide over the bottle neck from a bottle opening with the annular element in order to attaches the top to the bicycle, and is provided to withstand an opposing shift, the top containing at least two handles extending in different directions, each handle having a gripping portion secured via at least one arm with the annular element, and which On each side of each gripping part a supporting element is provided which is dimensioned such that in the stacking position the supporting element bridges a distance between a shoulder of the second bicycle and a peripheral bottom part of the first bicycle.

The stackable bicycle of the invention contains a top piece which can be fixed with the bottle neck by means of fasteners. The top has at least two handles that extend in different directions. This makes the bicycle easy to handle from multiple directions. Furthermore, a support element is provided on either side of each gripping part of the handles. This support element bridges a distance between the peripheral bottom part and the shoulder when the bottles are stacked. Since a distance is bridged by the support element, the depression can be formed notably less deep. This makes the production of fies according to the invention noticeably cheaper. The bottles according to the invention can thereby be stacked firmly. The invention thus provides a solution with which bottles are stackable, can be easily handled from several directions and wherein the bicycle can be manufactured inexpensively.

A further advantage of the bottles according to the invention is that they can be carried by several persons at the same time, for example one person on one side and another person on another side of the bicycle, because the bicycle has several handles that extend in different directions . This allows large bottles, for example bottles with a volume of 20 liters or more, to be carried firmly and in an ergonomically responsible manner.

Tests and simulations have shown that the indentation of the bicycle has a more limited depth because the top bridges the distance between the shoulder and the peripheral bottom part.

This narrower depth means that the bicycle can be produced more cheaply. Furthermore, it appears that the top piece is economically producible and is easy to connect to the bicycle. This shows the balance between the cost price for the production of the bicycle and the cost price for the production

2016/5754

BE2016 / 5754 for the top are better, such that the total cost per bottle is lower without compromising stackability and handling. Furthermore, it appears that the bottles can be blown more reliably and more easily. In particular, because the recess is smaller than when bottles are stackable without a top, correct and even distribution of the material during the blowing process is easier, so that fewer errors occur and the process of blowing is more controllable.

The bottle according to the invention is preferably made from polyethylene terephthalate from a preform. A bottle that has been blow molded from a preform may differ only slightly from a line symmetric shape about a longitudinal axis, since otherwise differences in material thickness in the wall of the bottle will occur during blow molding. These differences are undesirable as they reduce the efficiency of material use and also create weakening in the bicycle. Since the bottle of the present invention has a less complex shape, it will be easy to blow-mold such a bottle.

Furthermore, polyethylene terephthalate is easily recyclable.

Preferably said top part is made from one piece of plastic by injection molding. By manufacturing the top and handle in one piece, no assembly step is required to attach the top and handle together. Furthermore, such injection molded pieces can have very different shapes and material properties. Further advantages are the low cost price and simplicity in mass production.

Preferably, the gripping part of the two hands is rigid. It has been rigidly defined as not significantly deformable in normal use. By rigidly forming the gripping part of the handles, this gripping part will function as a bridge between the two supporting elements which are provided on either side of the handle. As a result, each support element will not only provide support on its own, but will provide support as a larger whole between stacked bottles. The relative position of one support element relative to another support element is thereby determined at least partly by the rigid handle, so that the bottles are stackable.

Preferably, the at least one arm of each of the two handles is flexible. The at least one arm extends between each handle and the annular fastener of the top. Because the arm is flexible, that is to say it is elastically deformable in normal use, the rigid gripping part of the handle can move between a stacking position, the handle being mainly against the shoulder of the bottle, so that the supporting elements rest on the shoulder part, and a gripping position in which the gripping portion of the handle floats above the shoulder of the bicycle, and at a distance therefrom, so that the gripping portion can be easily gripped.

2016/5754

BE2016 / 5754

Preferably, the at least one arm comprises two arms which are fixed thereon on opposite sides of the gripping part and which are fixed thereon on the opposite sides of the annular element. Since the gripping part is fixed on opposite sides via two arms with opposite sides of the annular element, the movability of the gripping part will be limited, making it easier to handle correctly. Purge unwanted movements by this way of attaching the gripping part to a maximum. Furthermore, tests have shown that due to this attachment of the gripping part via two arms, the gripping part is always optimally positioned in the stacked state of the bicycle, and the gripping part is always optimally positioned when the bicycle is lifted via the gripping part. The power transmission, especially when lifting the bicycle, is also more optimal, so that the annular fastening element can be made lighter.

Preferably, the at least two handles are formed by opposite handles. This means that the handles extend in opposite directions, which are preferably perpendicular to the direction of the central axis of the bicycle. In a situation where the bicycle is carried by two people, it will be advantageous that the handles are upright. It also appears that when stacking it is advantageous that handles are upright, and that the support elements are thereby placed symmetrically and balanced. This allows the Hessen to be stacked firmly and stably in various mutual rotation positions of the Hessen. In this context, the top is preferably planarly symmetrically formed with respect to a plane extending upward and centrally between the at least two handles.

Preferably, each bottle is form-compatible with the top at its shoulder, so that rotation of the top relative to the shoulder is reduced in the stacked position. Furthermore, preferably at the location of its peripheral bottom part, each bottle is also form compatible with the top part, so that rotation of the top part relative to the peripheral top part is prevented in the stacked position. The person skilled in the art understands that shape compatibility can be achieved in different ways, for example by providing grooves, dents, concave and / or convex surfaces, recesses, etc. that correspond to the shape of the top. The shape compatibility ensures that the position of the top part relative to the bottle, in particular the shoulder and / or the peripheral bottom part of the bottle, is fixed. This has the advantage that the Hessen can be stacked more stable, because the Hessen have less or no tendency to rotate relative to each other. Sliding of one bottle relative to another bottle in the stacked position is also prevented by making the bottle form compatible with the top.

Preferably, each bottle is substantially rectangular and the support elements are positioned to be in the stacked position at the corners of the bottle.

2016/5754

BE2016 / 5754

Furthermore, preferably at the location of its corners, each blade is provided with upright reinforcing ribs. The upright reinforcing ribs increase the stability of the blades when pressure is applied to the blades. When stacking multiple bottles, an underlying bicycle will bear the weight of the parent bicycle. The reinforcing ribs improve the stability of the bicycle in such a situation. Therefore, when the support elements are positioned at the corners in the stacking position, the downward pressure due to the weight of the bicycle can be transferred via the support elements to the upright ribs, so that a tightly stacked whole is obtained.

Preferably said top piece is mounted by clicking on said bottle neck 10. Assembling two elements by clicking them together is easy to automate. In this way, a frame and top piece are obtained which can be assembled in a simple manner by an assembly device. Furthermore, unlike, for example, screws, snapping will not require that the bicycle and the top be rotatable relative to each other. In this way, non-round bottles can also be easily provided with a top. For example, a generally rectangular section in cross section can simply be provided with a corresponding rectangular top section by clicking.

Said top piece comprises an annular element with fasteners on an inner side of the annular element such that the top piece is provided to slide over the bottle neck with the annular element from a bottle opening in order to fix the top piece on the bicycle, and is provided to resist against an opposite shift. Such an attachment of the top with the bicycle is very simple, and therefore inexpensive. Furthermore, pushing an annular shape with fasteners over a bottle neck is easy to automate, which is an advantage in the production process of such top-mounted bottles.

Preferably, a bicycle according to the invention has a content greater than 5 liters, preferably greater than 10 liters, more preferably greater than 15 liters, and a content smaller than 35 liters, preferably smaller than 30 liters, more preferably smaller than 25 liters. Bottles with such contents have outer dimensions that make handling without a handle difficult.

The invention further relates to a bicycle as described above.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 shows a set of stacked bottles according to a preferred embodiment of the invention;

figure 2 shows a top view of a stackable bicycle from figure 1; and

2016/5754

BE2016 / 5754 figure 3 see a top part that is part of the stackable bicycle from figure 2.

In the drawing, the same or analogous element is assigned the same reference numeral.

Figure 1 shows a frame 1 which is manufactured in a line symmetrical manner around a longitudinal axis 2. Viewed from top to bottom along the longitudinal axis 2, the bicycle 1 comprises an optional bottle cap 3, a bottle neck 4, a shoulder part 5, a belly part 6 and a bottom part 7. Preferably, the bicycle 1 is manufactured by means of a blow molding process from a preform, also called preform. A preform or preform is a test tube-shaped element made of a material that can be deformed by blow molding.

Preferably the material is polyethylene terephthalate (PET). An alternative material that allows the manufacture of the Fies 1 by blow molding is Polylactic acid (PLA). The bicycle 1 according to the invention further comprises a top piece 8 which is attached to the bottle neck 4.

The bottle cap 3 is preferably attached to the bottle neck 4 by means of a screw connection, the bottle cap 3 and the bottle neck 4 having corresponding threads. However, other systems such as click systems can also be used to attach the bottle cap 3 to the bottle neck. The bottle neck 4 further preferably comprises a collar 9 which makes it possible to clamp the tape 1 in a simple manner, in particular during blow molding of the tape 1.

The shoulder part 5 of the bicycle 1 connects the bottle neck 4 to the belly part 6 of the bicycle 1. For this purpose, the shoulder part 5 extends mainly in the radial direction and downwards in order to transition from the bottle neck 4, which has a first diameter. belly part 6 of the bicycle 1, which has a larger diameter than said first diameter. This creates a slightly curved top surface which extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 2 of the bicycle at said shoulder part 5.

The bottom part 7 of the bicycle 1 closes the belly part 6 at the bottom so that the bicycle 1 is suitable for containing a liquid. Preferably, the bottom of the bicycle is formed with a depression 10. The depression 10 is formed in the bottom part 7 of the bicycle 1. Thereby, the depression 10 is centrally formed in the bottom part. Most preferably, the depression 10 is symmetrically positioned with respect to the longitudinal axis 2. The bottom portion 7 further includes, around the depression 10, a peripheral bottom portion 11. The peripheral bottom portion and the depression 10 are formed such that when two bottles are placed on top of each other as shown in figure 1, the bulge of the upper frame, in figure 1 frame IA, the bottle cap 3 and bottle neck 4 of the lower frame, in figure 1 frame IB, are covered while the peripheral bottom part 11 of the upper frame 1A rests on the shoulder part 5 of the underlying bicycle. It is noted in this connection that the peripheral bottom part 11 of the upper frame 1A does not rest directly on

2016/5754

BE2016 / 5754 the shoulder part 5 of the underlying bottle IB, but via the top piece 8, as will be further explained below.

The top piece 8 is mounted over the bottle neck 4 during manufacture until it is below the collar 9. As a result, the top piece 8 is fixedly fixed with the bottle, and forms part of the bottle 1. The top piece 8 is provided for resting on the shoulder part 5 of the bottle.

Thereby the top part 8 extends at least partly up to a peripheral part of the shoulder 5. As a result, when two bottles are stacked on top of each other, as shown in figure 1, the peripheral bottom part 11 of an upper bottle on the top part 8 from an underlying bottle will support IB. As a result, a distance 12 is bridged between the shoulder part of the underlying bottle IB and the peripheral bottom part 11 of the parent bicycle 1A. The consequence of bridging this distance 12 by the top piece 8 is that the depression 10 has to be formed less deep than in a situation in which the shoulder part 5 directly supports the peripheral bottom part 11. As described in detail above, blowing the bottle from a preform becomes noticeably easier and more controllable.

Figure 2 shows a top view of a bottle 1. Figure 2 shows how the bottle contains a top piece 8. The top 8 is connected to the base of the bottle via an annular element 13. The annular element 13 preferably includes fasteners 14. In the embodiment of Figures 2 and 3, the fasteners 14 are formed as a plurality of inwardly directed lips hooking behind the collar 9 of the bottle, when the annular element 13 is pushed over the collar 9. These lips face inward and toward the bottle cap so that they allow movement across the collar toward the shoulder of the bottle and prevent movement across the collar toward the bottle cap. This allows the ring-shaped element to be easily connected to the bottle neck when the bottle is manufactured. Preferably, the lips function as barb means which allow the handle to slide over the bottle neck 4 towards the shoulder part 5 while preventing the handle 12 from sliding over the bottle neck 4 in a direction away from the shoulder part 5. Preferably, the annular fasteners with barb means, and the collar located on the bottle neck 4, are complementary in that the barb means can be slid over the collar toward the shoulder portion 5 and prevent reverse movement back over the collar 8 .

To this end, the barb means can comprise a plurality of hinged lips which, as shown in figure 3, viewed in mounted position of the top part, form an acute angle towards the bottom part 7 of the bottle 1 with the longitudinal axis 2.

The top piece 8 further comprises two handles 15 and 16. In this case, each of the handles 15, 16 is constructed with a gripping part 17, 18 which is attached via arms 19 with the

2016/5754

BE2016 / 5754 annular element 13. More specifically, the first handle 15 will have a first gripping part 17. The gripping part 17 extends between two arms 19. Each of the arms 19 extends to a opposite side of the annular element 13 to be connected therewith. The second handle 16 contains a second gripping part 18, which, analogous to the first gripping part 17, extends between two arms

19 which are further secured with opposite sides of the annular element 13. Thus, each of the arms 19 extends between the annular element 13 on the one hand and the gripping part 16, 17 on the other hand. Preferably, the gripping parts 17 and 18 and the arms 19 Dimensioned and connected to the annular element 13 in such a way that the gripping parts 17 at least partially extend into a peripheral part of the bicycle 1. The peripheral part of the bicycle is defined as that part of the bicycle, viewed in the transverse direction, where the bottom part 7 does not contain recess 10.

The gripping part 17, 18 is made rigid while the arms 19 are made flexible. It will be clear to the skilled person that the top piece 8 can be formed in one material and in one piece, while the arms 19 are flexible and the gripping parts 17, 18 are rigid. By design, material thickness and whether or not provided with reinforcing ribs and / or reinforcing structures, a rigid element as well as a flexible element can be formed with the same material. It has been rigidly defined as not significantly deformable in normal use. More preferably, rigid is defined as permitting deformation of less than 10% in normal use, preferably deformation of up to 5% in normal use.

The arms 19 are flexible, that is to say that during normal use an elastic and / or plastic deformation occurs in the arms 19. In particular when a bicycle 1 is lifted via one of the handles 15, 16, the arms 19 of the respective handle bow. By bending the arms 19, the gripping part 17 or 18 can move upwards away from the shoulder 5 of the bicycle, so that the gripping part 17 or 18 becomes easier to handle. Due to the flexibility of arms 19, two positions of use or conditions of use can be distinguished for each handle 15, 16. A first state of use relates to the stacking state of the handle 15, 16.

In the stacking condition, the gripping part 17, 18 will lie mainly against the shoulder part of the bicycle. A second condition of use relates to the lifting position, when lifting the bicycle via the handle 15, 16. In the lifting position, the upward force acting on the gripping part 17 and / or 18, for carrying the bicycle 1, will result have the arms 19 move upward.

This causes the gripping part 17, 18 to be spaced from the shoulder 5 of the bicycle 1. The result is that a free space is created around the gripping part 17, 18 which allows a user to fasten the gripping part 17, 18 with his hand. grab.

Each handle 15, 16 is further provided with support elements 20. The support elements

20 are preferably provided on either side of the gripping part 17 and 18. The support elements 20

2016/5754

BE2016 / 5754 are rigidly shaped, such as the gripping part 17, 18. Furthermore, preferably the gripping parts 17 and 18 form one rigid unit with the support elements 20. As a result, each gripping part 17, 18 determines the mutual position between the support elements 20 which are on either side of this gripping part 17, 18 are provided.

While the gripping part 17, 18 is initially provided to allow a user to grip the handle 15, 16, the support elements 20 are primarily provided for bridging the distance 12 when two bottles are stacked, as shown in Figure 1 The gripping parts 17, 18 can also be formed secondary to bridge the distance 12 and provide support between two stacked bottles.

In the embodiment of Figure 2, two handles are provided, a first handle 15 and a second handle 16. The first handle 15 extends in a first direction, and the second handle 16 extends in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The directions in which the handles 15, 16 extend are considered transverse to the longitudinal axis 2 of the bicycle 1.

Figure 2 also shows how the handles are formed symmetrically with respect to each other. The skilled person will understand, considering Figure 2, that the construction of the handles and the mutual orientation of the handles of Figure 2 has several advantages. First, the handles 15, 16 can be dimensioned such that the support elements 20 are positioned at the corners of the bicycle 1. Figure 2 shows in top view how the bicycle 1 is formed with a belly part which has four side walls 21, and four corners 22. The term side wall and angle refers to the overall impression that the bicycle creates, and not on a flat wall and not at an acute angle, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. At the location of the corners 22, reinforcing ribs 23 are preferably provided in the shape of the bicycle, so that a weight of an upper bicycle can better be absorbed by an underlying bicycle. The construction of the handles already has the result that the supporting elements 20 can be provided with these reinforcing ribs 23 instead, which improves the stability of the Stack.

A second advantage of the construction of the handles 15, 16 makes the bicycle very easy to carry with two people. When a first person stands on the right side of the bicycle and grabs gripping part 17, and a second person stands on the left side of the bicycle and grabs gripping part 18, the bicycle 1 can be carried ergonomically by two people. This is particularly advantageous with large-volume bottles.

The support elements 20 are preferably formed form-compatible with the shoulder and / or with the peripheral bottom part 11 of the bicycle to prevent displacement of the support element 20 relative to the shoulder part and / or peripheral bottom part in the stacked position.

Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the top 8 of the fies 1, and shows the parts of the top described above. Figure 3 shows the two handles

2016/5754

BE2016 / 5754 and 16, the gripping parts 17 and 18 which are connected to the annular element 13 via arms 19.

Furthermore, figure 3 shows the support elements 20 which are each provided on either side of the gripping part 17 and 18.

Preferably, a bottle 1 according to the invention has a content of more than 5 liters, more preferably more than 10 liters, most preferably more than 15 liters. Preferably, a bicycle 1 according to the invention has a content of less than 35 liters, more preferably less than 30 liters, most preferably less than 25 liters.

Based on the description above, those skilled in the art will understand that the invention can be practiced in different ways and on different principles. In addition, the invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The above-described embodiments, as well as the figures, are merely illustrative and serve only to enhance the understanding of the invention.
