Abstract
Description
Kunststoff-Flasche, kraftschlüssig verbindbar mit weiteren Plastic bottle, non-positively connectable with others
[0001] Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kunststoff-Flasche die mit weiteren gleichen Kunststoff-Flaschen kraftschlüssig verbindbar ist. Die bestehenden Kunststoff- Flaschen, zum Beispiel solche aus PET oder Polypropylen als Verpackungsmaterial von Getränken sind ohne zusätzliche Hilfsmittel nicht oder schlecht stapelbar. Sie sind auch nicht ohne Hilfsmittel kraftschlüssig miteinander verbindbar.The invention relates to a plastic bottle which is frictionally connectable with other same plastic bottles. The existing plastic bottles, for example those made of PET or polypropylene as packaging material for drinks, can not be stacked or can not be stacked without additional aids. They are not non-positively connectable without aids.
[0002] Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Kunststoff- F lasche dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, dass sie durch eine Änderung der Form untereinander kraftschlüssig verbindbar warden.The object of the present invention is to develop a plastic F lasche to the effect that they are mutually frictionally connectable by changing the shape.
[0003] Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is solved by the features of patent claim 1.
[0004] Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen. Der Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass die Flaschen als "Baumaterial" in einem stabilen Verbund verwendet werden können.Advantageous developments emerge from the dependent claims. The advantage of the invention is that the bottles can be used as a "building material" in a stable composite.
[0005] Die Erfindung wird anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels, welches in den Zeichnungen dargestellt ist, näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment which is illustrated in the drawings.
Es zeigt:It shows:

(Axonometrie).(Axonometric).
[0006] Die Kunststoff-Flasche 1 wird im Streckblasverfahren hergestellt, zum Beispiel aus PET oder auch aus Polypropylen. Als Besonderheit weist sie seitliche Vertiefungen 2 und Ausweitungen 3 auf. Die im Querschnitt schwalbenschwanzförmig gestalteten Ausweitungen 3 passen als positive Formen genau in die entsprechenden im Querschnitt ebenfalls schwalbenschwanzförmig gestalteten Vertiefungen 2 ein. Es entsteht eine zugkraftschlüssige Verbindung. Hierzu wird die eine Flasche längs ihrer Seitenfläche in eine weitere identische Flasche eingeschoben, sodass die Ausweitungen 3 auf jener Seite in die Vertiefungen 2 der anliegenden Flasche hineingleiten. In einer Variante können die Flaschen so gestaltet sein, dass sie einfach in Normalenrichtung aufeinandergepresst werden können, wodurch die Ausweitung 3 in jener Flaschenseite durch leichtes elastisches Nachgeben in die Vertiefungen 2 auf der gegenüber liegenden Seite der zweiten Flasche einklicken bzw. einrasten und sodann eine zugkraftschüssige Verbindung entsteht. Durch dieses System kann eine Flasche mit einer benachbarten zusammengesteckt oder mit einer benachbarten Flasche durch Zusammenschieben verbunden werden.The plastic bottle 1 is produced by stretch blow molding, for example made of PET or polypropylene. As a special feature, it has lateral depressions 2 and 3 extensions. The dovetail-shaped in cross-section extensions 3 fit as positive forms exactly in the corresponding cross-section also dovetail-shaped depressions 2 a. The result is a zugkraftschlüssige connection. For this purpose, the one bottle is inserted along its side surface in a further identical bottle, so that the extensions 3 slide on that side in the wells 2 of the adjacent bottle. In one variant, the bottles may be designed so that they can simply be pressed against each other in the normal direction, whereby the extension 3 in that bottle side by slight elastic yielding into the recesses 2 on the opposite side of the second bottle click into place and then a zugkraftschüssige Connection arises. Through this system, a bottle can be plugged together with an adjacent or connected to an adjacent bottle by pushing together.
[0007] Die Kunststoff-Flasche 1 ist vertikal in drei Abschnitte gegliedert. Der untere Abschnitt 4 und der obere Abschnitt 6 der Flasche ermöglichen das Zusammenstecken mit einer gleich geformten weiteren Flasche. In der Fig. 3a ist ein Querschnitt durch den oberen Teil der Flasche gezeigt, längs der Ebene A-A in Figur 2. Ein Querschnitt durch den unteren Abschnitt 4 sieht genau gleich aus. Hier erkennt man die von aussen gesehen schwalbenschwanzförmigen Vertiefungen 2 sowie die Ausweitungen 3. Der mittlere Abschnitt 5 der Flasche ermöglicht durch eine taillierte Formgebung ein einfaches Halten und Greifen der Flasche. Dieser Abschnitt 5 ist in Figur 3b einem Querschnitt längs der Ebene B-B von Figur 2 dargestellt. Die Kunststoff-Flasche 1 kann mit einem handelsüblichen Drehverschluss 7 ausgerüstet sein, oder andere Verschlusslösungen können eingesetzt werden.The plastic bottle 1 is divided vertically into three sections. The lower portion 4 and the upper portion 6 of the bottle allow mating with a similar shaped another bottle. In Fig. 3a, a cross section through the upper part of the bottle is shown, taken along the plane AA in Figure 2. A cross section through the lower portion 4 looks exactly the same. Here you can see the dovetail-shaped depressions 2 seen from the outside as well as the expansions 3. The middle section 5 of the bottle allows for a simple holding and gripping the bottle by a waisted shape. This section 5 is shown in Figure 3b a cross section along the plane BB of Figure 2. The plastic bottle 1 can be equipped with a commercially available rotary closure 7, or other closure solutions can be used.
[0008] Dadurch, dass zwei doer mehr identische Flaschen kraftschüssig zusammengesteckt oder ineinander geschoben werden können, lassen sich Baugebilde erstellen. Eine ganze Reihe von Flaschen lassen sich zu einer stabilen Reihe verbinden. Ausserdem können mehrere Reihen kraftschlüssig miteinander matrixförmig verbunden werden. Die Flasche kann einen speziell geformten Flaschenboden aufweisen, welcher das Negativ zum Oberteil der Flasche aus Stutzen und Schulter bildet, und zwar mit oder ohne Kappenverschluss darauf. Dann ist die Flasche mit ihrem Boden passgenau auf den Oberteil einer anderen Flasche aufsetzbar oder sogar aufsteckbar, in einer Variante, in welcher das mit und in einer Variante, in der das ohne Kappenverschluss funktioniert. Es lassen sich dann mehrstöckige Gebilde erstellen, mit in jeder Richtung mehreren nebeneinander bzw. aufeinanderstehenden, miteinander kraftschlüssig verbundenen Flaschen.The fact that two doer more identical bottles can be put together kraftschüssig or pushed into each other, building structures can create. A whole series of bottles can be combined into a stable series. In addition, several rows can be positively connected with each other in a matrix-like manner. The bottle may have a specially shaped bottle bottom which forms the negative to the top of the neck and shoulder bottle with or without cap closure thereon. Then the bottle with its bottom fitting on the top of another bottle can be placed or even plugged, in a variant in which with and in a variant in which works without cap closure. It can then create multi-storey structures, with in each direction a plurality of juxtaposed or mutually adjacent, mutually positively connected bottles.
[0009] Die Flaschen können deshalb zum Erstellen von Gebilden und Bauten aller Art verwendet werden. Es können ganze Markt- und Messestände, Möbel oder Wohnlandschaften oder ganze Hausteile, Mauern, Treppen oder Häuser aus solchen Flaschen erstellt werden. Die Flaschen können hierzu mit Sand, Wasser oder beliebigem Füllmaterial befüllt werden, damit sie schwerer werden und entsprechend standfester werden. Durch die Befüllung lassen sich Farbeffekte erzielen, aber auch technische Effekte wie etwa eine Wärmeisolation oder eine Lichtabschirmung. The bottles can therefore be used to create structures and buildings of all kinds. Entire market and exhibition stands, furniture or residential landscapes or entire parts of the house, walls, stairs or houses can be created from such bottles. The bottles can be filled with sand, water or any filling material to make them heavier and more stable. By filling can be achieved color effects, but also technical effects such as a heat insulation or a light shield.
