Description
- This application claims priority to Taiwan Application Serial Number 98212813, filed Jul. 14, 2009, which are herein incorporated by reference.
- 1. Field of The Disclosure
- The disclosure relates to a bottle holding device.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- When a beverage or other liquid or solid food stored in a bottle is half used, it is hard to preserve the unused beverage or food in a fresh condition for a long time. For example, a bottle of soda drink will taste like an uncarbonated drink after the bottle has been opened for two or three days. Taking a bottle of sauce as another example, the sauce would not taste as fresh as sauce in the new-opened bottle after the bottle containing sauce has been opened for an extended period of time. Therefore, there is a need for everyone to preserve unused beverage or food in a fresh condition for a longer period after the bottle has been opened.
- In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a bottle flip support includes a support base with a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface is configured to be put on a support ground. At least one cavity is disposed on the top surface of the support base to support a flipped bottle. The cavity includes a shoulder cavity configured to hold a shoulder portion of the flipped bottle and a lip cavity configured to accommodate a lip portion of the flipped bottle.
- In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a bottle flip support includes a support base with a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface is configured to be put on a support ground. At least one cavity is disposed on the top surface of the support base to support a flipped bottle. The cavity includes a shoulder cavity configured to hold a shoulder portion of the flipped bottle and a lip thread configured to be screwed by a lip portion of the flipped bottle.
- It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are by examples, and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
- The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the invention, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention. In the drawings,
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a side view of a support base holding a flipped bottle according to one embodiment of this invention; -
FIG. 1A illustrates a side view of a bottle flip support according to another embodiment of this invention; -
FIG. 2 illustrates a side view of a bottle flip support with multiple cavities according to still another embodiment of this invention; -
FIG. 3A illustrates a bottom view of a bottle flip support according to one embodiment of this invention; and -
FIG. 3B illustrates a bottom view of a bottle flip support according to another embodiment of this invention. - Reference will now be made in detail to the present embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.
- Disclosed herein is a bottle flip support for holding a flipped bottle such that gas within the bottle can be gathered at a body portion of the flipped bottle, rather than at a lip portion of the flipped bottle. Gas hardly goes into or out of the flipped bottle such that the unused beverage or food can be preserved in a fresh condition for an even longer period.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a side view of a support base holding a flipped bottle according to one embodiment of this invention. The bottle flip support has asupport base 100 for firmly holding a flippedbottle 102. Thesupport base 100 has a cavity on atop surface 100 d thereof. The cavity has ashoulder cavity 100 a and alip cavity 100 b. Theshoulder cavity 100 a is configured to support ashoulder portion 102 b of thebottle 102. Thelip cavity 100 b is configured to accommodate alip portion 102 a, where a cap is screwed onto, and/or a neck portion of thebottle 102. When thebottle 102 is flipped, gas within the bottle (not illustrated in the drawings) is gathered at abody portion 102 c of the flippedbottle 102, rather than at alip portion 102 a of the flippedbottle 102. Gas hardly goes into or out of the flippedbottle 102 such that the unused beverage or liquid or solid food (such as salt or sugar) can be preserved in a fresh condition for a longer period. The cavity of thesupport base 100 can be designed according to a desired bottle size. In this embodiment, thetop surface 100 d has a larger area than a cross-section area of abody portion 102 c of the flippedbottle 102. Besides, atop rim section 100 c of the cavity defines a hollow area substantially equal to a cross-section area of abody portion 102 c of the flippedbottle 102. -
FIG. 1A illustrates a side view of a bottle flip support according to another embodiment of this invention. This embodiment is slightly different from the embodiment ofFIG. 1 in that the lip cavity is equipped with athread 100 b′ to screw onto the lip portion of a bottle on behalf of a cap. When this bottle flip support is used, the bottle's lip portion needs to be screwed by thesupport base 100 first and then flipped together using thesupport base 100 to hold the flipped bottle. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a side view of a bottle flip support with multiple cavities according to still another embodiment of this invention. Thebottle flip support 200 is equipped withmultiple cavities 200 a to permit multiple flipped bottles to be inserted into.Cavities 200 can be of different sizes, for example, onecavity 200 a is for holding a large plastic bottle (such as 2500 ml bottle) while theother cavity 200 a is for holding a small plastic bottle (such as 1500 ml bottle). -
FIG. 3A illustrates a bottom view of a bottle flip support according to one embodiment of this invention. In order to stably position a flipped bottle on a support ground, abottom surface 100 e of asquare support base 100′ may be equipped withmultiple positioning legs 104. Fourpositioning legs 104 are slidably connected with rails on thebottom surface 100 e to selectively stick out of alateral surface 100 f or not stick out of thelateral surface 100 f When allpositioning legs 104 stick out of thelateral surface 100 f, thesquare support base 100′ would stably stand on the support ground by thebottom surface 100 e. When allpositioning legs 104 do not stick out of thelateral surface 100 f, thesquare support base 100′ is of smaller size for easy storage or portability. -
FIG. 3B illustrates a bottom view of a bottle flip support according to another embodiment of this invention. In order to stably position a flipped bottle on a support ground, abottom surface 100 e of acircular support base 100″ may be equipped withmultiple positioning legs 106. Three positioninglegs 104 are slidably connected with rails on thebottom surface 100 e to selectively stick out of alateral surface 100 g or not stick out of thelateral surface 100 g. When all positioninglegs 106 stick out of thelateral surface 100 g, thesquare support base 100″ would stably stand on a support ground by thebottom surface 100 e. When all positioninglegs 106 do not stick out of thelateral surface 100 g, thesquare support base 100″ is of smaller size for easy storage or portability. - The above-mentioned support base can be made from a plastic or metallic material. Although only a square or circular support base is illustrated in discussed embodiments, the support base can be of rectangular shape or other multi-sided figures. At least three positioning legs are used to firmly position the support base and prevent it is from falling.
- According to the discussed embodiments, a bottle flip support is able to hold a flipped bottle, thereby gathering gas at a body portion of the flipped bottle and preventing gas from easily going into or out of the flipped bottle such that the unused beverage or liquid or solid food can be preserved in a fresh condition for a longer period.
- It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations of this invention provided they fall within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
