Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a removable support for hand-held or grippable vessels for containing, for example, liquids such as fruit juices, wine, beverages, milk and the like, said vessels being formed by a flexible or rigid material and having a substantially elongated shape, such as a parallelepiped or cylinder configuration, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • liquids such as fruit juices, wine, beverages, milk and the like
  • flexible material vessels or containers made, for example, of a paperboard material lined internally with a sheet of synthetic material.
  • the mentioned flexible material vessels do not have a stable rigid form, and they can be deformed under gripping pressure provided by the user's hand, as the vessel is gripped and continuously held by the user.
  • such instability of the form or shape is affected by the amount of liquid product held in the vessel; in other words, the vessel in a sealed condition has greater form stability than that which would be available after delivering a certain amount of liquid.
  • the vessel in a sealed condition has greater form stability than that which would be available after delivering a certain amount of liquid.
  • they are conventionally gripped on opposite faces thereof, thereby providing a pressure force toward the inside of the vessel. This, in particular for an open vessel still full or nearly full, would cause a simultaneous raising of the level of the liquid contained, with a consequent uncontrolled or undesired liquid delivery, which would soil the table or table cloth near the glass provided for receiving an intended liquid amount.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide such a removable support for hand-held or grippable vessels, which can simply and easily support said vessels, independently from the amount of liquid held therein.
  • the above mentioned aim is achieved by a removable support having the characterizing features of claim 1. Further improvements and advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.
  • the removable support for hand-held or grippable vessels according to the invention provides a lot of advantages. At first, a gripping arrangement or handle is provided, allowing the vessel to be simply and safely supported, without concentrating any undesired pressing or crushing force on the central regions of opposite faces of the vessel, in particular for a flexible material parallelepiped shape vessel.
  • the support can have a solid plate-like body, or a frame-like body, or one or more central openings, to save material.
  • said support can be quickly applied to the vessel, independently from its parallelepiped or cylinder configuration, since said elastic clamping means would assume respectively a form corresponding to the vessel contour.
  • a further advantage of the removable support according to the invention is that the liquid can be poured in a desired manner and amount, without causing undesired liquid leaks due to a pressing of the vessel, or an unsafe or slipping gripping on its outer slipping surface, in particular if the user has wet or moist hands.
  • removable support provided with resilient clamping means, is that said support can be arranged at different levels or heights on the vessel, thereby allowing the liquid held in said vessel to be easily and safely poured depending on the amount or level of the liquid in said vessel and, moreover, allowing said removable support to be used for different height vessels.
  • a further advantage of the removable supports according to the invention is that, they can be made, in addition to a synthetic material, also of metal or wood material, thereby a specifically selected material can facilitate the achievement of good aesthetic advantages.
  • a high facility use and reliability of the subject support can be moreover advantageously achieved by providing a L-shape support body, wherein the bottom narrow leg of the L-shape operates as a bearing surface for the bottom of the vessel, in which case said support would require a single clamping means or resilient clamping, the free edge of the L-shape optionally including a projecting portion adapted to precisely arrange or locate the vessel as it is handled.
  • Yet another advantage of the support according to the invention, in the embodiment thereof including clamp-like end portions, is that screw fixing elements can be formed in said clamp means, thereby providing a simple configuration and efficient clamping properties.
  • inventive supports provide further gripper-like closure means, adapted to reliably close the closure end portion of the vessel, for example for milk vessel, after an opening thereof. Such an approach would provide a perfect insulation of the vessel contents from the outer environment, thereby extending the freshness characteristics of the product.
  • inventive supports are provided with a retracting handle, for example of the type used in a suitcases. This would allow to advantageously reduce the vessel and related support size for an easy use in refrigerators.
  • Yet another advantage of the supports according to the invention is that would provide an efficient advertisement "vehicle".

  • Figure 2 shows a view taken according to the arrow A of figure 1
  • Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional detail of an end portion of the support shown in figures 1 and 2
  • Figures 4 and 5 shows a view like figure 2, without the vessel, of two modified embodiments of the removable support provided respectively with a frame support body, figure 4, and a strip support body

  • Figure 8 shows a modified embodiment of the support shown in figure 7
  • Figure 9 shows an embodiment of the removable support according to the invention specifically designed for circular cross-section vessels
  • Figures 10 and 10 A show a removable support with resilient coupling means, which can be used at different heights or levels of said vessel, or for smaller vessels
  • Figure 11 shows a detail illustrating
  • Said support comprises a substantially longitudinally extending support body 2, having a handle 3 which, in the illustrated embodiment, has a U-shape handle configuration, rigid with said body 2.
  • the support comprises moreover, at the end portions thereof, removable coupling means 4, for providing a removable coupling with an associated or related vessel 6 which, in the illustrated example, has a parallelepiped shape and is made of a flexible material.
  • said vessel 6 comprises a quadrangular tubular element closed, at the end portions thereof, by respectively two top and bottom glued and folded flaps 7 and 8.
  • the coupling means 4 comprise a clamp 9 having a substantially U-shape cross section and including opposite plate-like legs 11 defining therebetween a narrow slot 12, the width S of which is adapted to house therein, practically without any clearances, or with a forced engagement, the folded closure flaps 7, 8 of the vessel 6.
  • the clamp coupling means 4 are spaced from one another by a length 1 substantially corresponding to the distance or spacing of the apex portions of the two triangular flaps 7 and 8, outward and downward upturned, parallel to the vessel 6, thereby said triangular flaps 7 and 8 can be engaged, in a forced manner, between the legs 11 of the clamps 9 of the support 1, being slidably driven along the vessels 6, as shown in figures 1 and 2.
  • the support 1 will have a full surface thereof abutted against the vessel 6 and in engagement, with a forced type of engaging, with portions of said vessel, i.e.
  • the support 1 can be removed from the flaps 7 and 8 and applied to a fresh vessel.
  • the inner faces of the legs 11 can be upward tapered, to a nearly contacting relationship, in order to exploit the resilient properties of the legs or wings 11 to provide a high clamping force of the triangular flaps 7 and 8, as taught by the invention. This can be achieved, in particular, by forming the supports 1 of a synthetic or metal material.
  • the two opposite legs 11 can be spaced by a thin or narrow slot, of even or tapering configuration, formed by cutting by a corresponding serrated or toothed chain.
  • the height of 2.5-3 cm of the mentioned triangular flaps 7, 8 is so designed as to provide, in each case, a reliable forced engagement between said flaps and clamps 9, even for wood supports.
  • the handle 3, having a U or L shape can be formed as a single piece with the body of the clamp 1.
  • the gripping portion or handle 3 can be simply welded or soldered, whereas, for wood supports 1, said handle 3 would be glued or fixed or clamped by a clamping screws.
  • the platelike portion of the body 2 in addition to being solid, as shown in figures 1 and 2, can have a frame configuration, or it can include one or more inner cavities 13, as shown in figure 8, or it can comprise a strip-like body 2, as shown in figure 5.
  • the bottom end portion of the body 2 has a plate-like configuration and is angularly folded so as to provide a bearing bottom 14 for the vessel 6.
  • a projecting portion for restraining the vessel can be provided, said projecting portion extending upward 14 as an abutment, which can involve or affect the overall width of the bottom 14, or one or more portions thereof, for example a central part thereof.
  • the coupling means 4 are formed as resilient or rigid clamp elements. According to a modified embodiment of the present invention, said coupling means 4 are formed as resilient coupling means and will assume, in their most simple configuration, the form of a resilient ring made of a rubber or the like material 16, as shown in figure 7.
  • the circumference of said resilient ring 16, in a non use condition thereof, will be less than the contour of the parallelepiped vessel 6, thereby, in its application position, as shown in figure 7, the two resilient rings 16 will provide a reliable clamping operation on the vessel 6, thereby providing a firm coupling of the support 1 and vessel 6.
  • the provision of said cross recesses 17 for housing said rings 16 would allow said rubber rings 16 to be safely applied on the support in a non use condition thereof, thereby preventing said rings from being lost.
  • said recesses 17 can be selected at will and, in the most simple embodiment of the support 1, said recesses 17 can also be omitted, and, for simplicity, said resilient rings 16 can also be formed by conventional resilient rubber rings, like those for office and kitchen uses.
  • resilient coupling means 16 can also be used for a support body 2 having a bottom 14 likewise the embodiment shown in figure 6, or possibly provided with one or more locating abutments 14 A.
  • the upper or top coupling means 4, as a resilient element 16 provides a safe and reliable clamping of the vessel 6 on the support 1 for an easy and quick handling thereof.
  • the dashed line shows moreover an alternative position for applying the coupling means 16, which can be optionally lowered, starting from the top, as the emptying of the vessel continues. This would facilitate the handling of the vessel in particular by children.
  • the support 1 can comprise an arched plate-like body 2, to support a cylindrical vessel 6 made of either a flexible or rigid material.
  • the use of resilient coupling means 16 would allow to provide, in each case, an optimum supporting of the vessel 6, independently from its cross- section configuration, and also with vessels devoid of projecting portions or flaps.
  • the height of the removable supports 1 is substantially equal or slightly less than the height of the vessels.
  • the height of said supports can also be substantially less than the height of the vessels, as shown in figures 10 and 10 A, in which said support 1 is applied at a lower position in figure 10 and a raised position in figure 10A.
  • This on a side, would allow to save material for forming supports provided for higher vessels and, on another side, would allow said supports 1 to also be used with smaller height vessels, i.e. vessels having a contents less than 1 liter, for example 0.5 liters.
  • the resilient coupling means 16 can be arranged, in a very easy manner, at any height or level position of the vessel.
  • the end portions of the clamp 9 are advantageously formed with clamping or fixing means, such as a clamping screw 18, engaged in a respective outer leg 11, as shown in figure 11.
  • clamping or fixing means such as a clamping screw 18, engaged in a respective outer leg 11, as shown in figure 11.
  • the head portion of the screw 18 has a disc-like configuration, being for example textured or knurled on the outside thereof.
  • figure 12 shows the further aspect of the invention of associating with a removable support 1 a clamping element 19, which, in the shown embodiment has a fly spring configuration, adapted to be easily used for reclosing the flaps 20 and 21 of the opening end portion of the vessel 6 after having opened it for pouring the vessel contents, said spring clamp 19 being coupled to the removable support 1 through a small chain or the like 22, to prevent said spring clamp 19 from being lost.
  • the removable coupling means are provided as suckers.
  • the sucker 23 is provided with a simple rubber or plastic sucker 23 the pin-like boss 24 of which is fastened in the handle 3.
