Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure generally relates to beverage bottles, and more specifically to beverage bottles used in carbonators. Furthermore, this disclosure includes methods for connecting beverage bottle components. Background Technology

[0002] A carbonator is used to produce carbonated beverages, such as carbonated water. This type of carbonator, also known as a soda machine, typically includes a carbon dioxide cylinder connected to a nozzle that is inserted into a beverage bottle containing liquid. The carbonator also includes an operating device that allows the user to open a valve in the carbon dioxide cylinder to introduce carbon dioxide into the beverage bottle. The carbon dioxide dissolves in the liquid within the beverage bottle.

[0003] Beverage bottles, especially those used for carbonators, often consist of individual components, sometimes made of different materials. Many existing bottles are not durable and may break after a period of use. Existing bottles may also consist of multiple components that are not tightly and securely attached to each other. Such bottles may be considered fragile, and loosely attached components can make the bottle difficult to handle, reduce its lifespan, and thus be environmentally unfriendly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One object of this disclosure is to provide a durable beverage bottle that is unaffected by temperature variations, comprising separate components that are tightly and securely fixed to each other. The beverage bottle should allow the components to be made of different materials and allow for disassembly for cleaning, parts replacement, reuse, or recycling. The beverage bottle should further be suitable for carbonators and be easy to manufacture and cost-effective.

[0005] According to this disclosure, the beverage bottle is provided in the form of a beverage bottle, which includes a beverage container component, a support component, a connector component for connecting the support component and the beverage container component to each other, and a threaded device for securing the support component and the connector component to each other.

[0006] The bracket component and the connector component are secured together using a connector assembly and a threaded device, ensuring a tight and secure connection between them. The advantage of separate connector components is that the beverage bracket component does not need to be directly attached to the container component, which is beneficial when using different materials, such as a metal bracket component and a plastic container component.

[0007] Connector components can be attached to container components where mechanical connection is not suitable, for example, where the container component does not need to include a specific form (e.g., thread) in which the connector component is attached. This can be advantageous, especially if the container component is intended to hold carbonated beverages.

[0008] A threaded device for securing a bracket component and a connector component to each other typically includes a mating first threaded surface and a second threaded surface, one of which may be located on the connector component, and the other on the bracket component or on a separate component. At least one of the threaded surfaces may be tilted such that rotation of the mating first threaded surface and the second threaded surface relative to each other results in axial movement relative to each other, thereby securing the bracket component and the connector component tightly and securely together.

[0009] Preferably, the connector component is chemically connected to the beverage container component and mechanically connected to the support component. The connector component may include a first interface for chemical connection with the beverage container component. The connector component may include a second interface for mechanical connection with the support component. The chemical connection may include adhesive bonding. The mechanical connection includes threaded connections. The mechanical connection allows the support component to be repeatedly released. The chemical connection, such as adhesive bonding, securely and firmly attaches the connector component to the beverage container component. The chemical connection allows the beverage container component to have a form suitable for containing carbonated beverages.

[0010] The connector component can be adapted to be chemically attached to the beverage container component. For this reason, the connector component can be made of the same or substantially the same material as the beverage container component. For example, both the connector component and the beverage container component can be made of plastic. The connector component can be made of ABS, and the beverage container component can be made of PET. Furthermore, the connector component can include surfaces that are complementary in shape to the beverage container component. For example, the beverage container component can include a spherical surface, and the connector component can include a concave surface. The beverage container component can advantageously be formed by blow molding.

[0011] Preferably, the support member is configured to elastically deform when the support member and the connector member are secured to each other. In this way, the support member is tightly and securely fixed to the connector member. The support member may, for example, include a portion that elastically deforms when the threaded device secures the support member and the connector member to each other, i.e., when the threaded device rotates relative to each other. This elastically deformable portion may be thin-walled and made of an elastic material, such as an elastic metal, particularly elastic stainless steel. When the threaded device has already secured the support member and the connector member together, the support member, or at least its elastically deformable portion, can bias the support member and the connector member against each other.

[0012] Alternatively or additionally, the connector component or a portion thereof may be configured to elastically deform when the support component and the connector component are secured to each other. The elastically deformable portion of the connector component may be made of an elastic material, such as an elastic plastic, particularly elastic ABS plastic.

[0013] Elastic deformation enhances the ability of the threaded device to securely fasten the support and connector components together in a reusable manner.

[0014] The threaded mechanism is preferably configured such that the support member is pressed increasingly against the connector member as the threaded mechanism rotates relative to each other. Preferably, the rotation of the threaded mechanism relative to each other causes the support member and the connector member to move toward each other and be biased toward each other.

[0015] Preferably, the threaded device is configured such that the support member is not gradually pressed against the connector member as it rotates to the end position. The threaded device can be configured such that the support member is gradually pressed upward against the connector member until a certain rotation is reached, and then maintained at a constant pressure during further rotation. Alternatively, the threaded device can be configured such that the support member is continuously and gradually pressed upward against the connector member until it rotates to the end position.

[0016] The beverage bottle preferably includes a stop for holding the threaded device in an end position. The stop may include two mating stop members adapted to engage when the threaded device reaches the end position. The stop may be configured for resilient engagement such that the stop members are held engaged by an elastic force. At least one stop member may be resilient. For example, the stop member may be made of an elastic material. The stop member may be shaped to allow resilient movement.

[0017] Preferably, the resilient stop member is arranged separately from the threaded device, preferably at a distance from it. This separate arrangement of the stop member allows the stop to engage and disengage without affecting the threaded device. The bracket component and connector component can then be securely and firmly secured to each other via the threaded device without being affected by the stop. In particular, engaging the stop does not result in the threaded device securing the bracket component and connector component in a less tight and / or less secure manner.

[0018] There can be two stopping devices, which are configured such that the elastic forces are oriented in opposite directions to each other. For example, the stopping devices can be configured such that the elastic forces between the stopping members are oriented radially or toward each other and aligned with each other.

[0019] The stop device can be configured such that the elastic force holding the stop members engaged is not aligned with the force generated by the threaded device during their relative rotation. Thus, the force generated by the threaded device is not affected by the force holding the stop members engaged. The force of the stop members can be oriented radially. The force of the threaded device can be oriented axially. In this disclosure, the axial direction is the direction in which the support member and the connector member move toward or away from each other through the relative rotation of the threaded device.

[0020] The threaded device may include a mating first threaded surface and a second threaded surface, wherein the connector component includes the first threaded surface, and the beverage bottle also includes a locking component including the second threaded surface. The locking component may also include one of the stop members.

[0021] The locking component, or a portion thereof, can be configured to elastically deform when secured to the connector component. The elastically deformable portion of the locking component can be made of an elastic material, such as elastic plastic, particularly elastic ABS plastic. The entire locking component can be made of elastic ABS plastic.

[0022] One or more portions of the bracket component, connector component, and locking component may be configured to elastically deform when these components are secured together by a threaded device. Preferably, portions of each of the three components are elastically deformable.

[0023] The support component and connector component may include mating anti-rotation devices. This is particularly advantageous if it is desired to place a gasket, such as an O-ring, between the support component and the connector component or beverage container component. It is believed that it is beneficial to prevent rotational movement at the contact surface where the gasket is located and to allow only translational (linear axial) movement. Furthermore, the gasket will undesirably impede rotational movement through friction. The beverage bottle may include a gasket located between the support component and the connector component or beverage container. The anti-rotation device may be a tongue-and-groove connection.

[0024] The anti-rotation device can be the aforementioned portion of the support component that elastically deforms when the threaded device secures the support component and the connector component to each other. Therefore, this portion is advantageously used for a dual purpose.

[0025] The beverage bottle can be a beverage bottle used in a carbonator, that is, a bottle used for carbonating carbonated beverages. Beverage bottles used in carbonators can be constructed to withstand an internal pressure of at least 20 bar.

[0026] The above objective is also achieved by a method for connecting a beverage container component and a support component of a beverage bottle, the method comprising the steps of: A) chemically attaching a connector component to the beverage container component, B) placing the support component and the connector component together, and C) tightening a threaded device to secure the support component to the connector component.

[0027] The advantages of the resulting beverage bottle have been discussed above. The method may include steps corresponding to the aforementioned features of the bottle components. For example, step C may be performed by rotating the support component or by rotating a separate component (e.g., the locking component). Similarly, the connector component may be chemically attached to the beverage container component by gluing. Step C preferably includes elastically deforming the support component and / or the connector component. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Figure 9 The diagram illustrates the process. Figure 1 The cross-section of the bottom part of the beverage bottle. Detailed Implementation

[0035] The disclosed embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the specification and drawings, the same numerals refer to the same elements.

[0036] Figure 1 A beverage bottle 1 for use with a carbonator is shown, and Figure 2 and Figure 3 The same bottle 1 is shown in an exploded view. The beverage bottle 1 includes a plastic beverage container component 2 for containing a beverage. The beverage container component 2 includes a threaded opening that can be sealed with a screw cap (not shown). The beverage bottle 1 can be connected to a carbonator via the threads on the opening or via a flange or collar disposed below the threads. The beverage container component 2 is preferably made of PET plastic, manufactured by blow molding, and includes a circular, more precisely hemispherical, bottom portion, such as... Figure 2 and 3 As shown.

[0037] The beverage bottle 1 also includes a support component 3, preferably a metal support component 3, which in Figure 5The image shows this in more detail. The support component 3 is cup-shaped and thin-walled, with an open top 3a and bottom 3b equipped with a central support component opening 3c. A flat, annular support surface 3f is provided on the bottom 3b of the support component, on which the beverage bottle 1 is intended to stand upright. In this example, the metal is resilient stainless steel, although other metals, such as aluminum, are also conceivable.

[0038] The bottom 3b of the support component 3 is recessed in the center, which means that the edge 3e of the support component opening 3c rises from the support surface 3f. Two opposing tongues 3d protrude radially inward from the edge 3e of the support component opening. The tongues 3d are axially inclined upward toward the beverage container component 2 during assembly.

[0039] Gluing the metal support components to the plastic beverage container component 2 is not ideal because the metal-to-plastic joint may be negatively affected by stresses caused by temperature changes that the beverage bottle 1 may experience. This metal-to-plastic joint may further deteriorate over time or due to impacts.

[0040] When the beverage container component 2 is manufactured by blow molding, from a manufacturing perspective, it is challenging to integrally form a mechanical assembly for the support component with the beverage container component 2. Furthermore, the walls of the beverage container component 2 should preferably have a uniform thickness and no sharp corners to withstand high internal pressures. This beverage container component 2 has a form suitable for containing carbonated beverages.

[0041] exist Figure 8 and 9 The plastic connector component 4, configured to connect the beverage container component 2 and the support component 3 to each other, is shown in more detail below. The connector component 4 includes a top concave disc 4a, an upper cylindrical element 4b, a lower cylindrical element 4c, and an annular disc 4d. The upper cylindrical element 4b projects axially from the upper side (the side facing the beverage container component 2) of the annular disc 4d, and the lower cylindrical element 4c projects axially from the lower side (the side away from the beverage container component 3) of the annular disc 4d. The upper cylindrical element 4b has a smaller diameter than the lower cylindrical element 4c. The upper cylindrical element 4b and the lower cylindrical element 4c have substantially the same height, i.e., their extension along the longitudinal direction of the beverage bottle 1 during assembly. The diameter of the upper cylindrical element 4b is equal to the inner diameter of the annular disc 4d, while the diameter of the lower cylindrical element 4c is equal to the outer diameter of the annular disc 4d.

[0042] Connector component 4 is glued to the bottom of plastic beverage container component 2. A concave disc 4a is complementary in shape to the spherical bottom of beverage container component 2 to ensure a robust glued joint, in this example a plastic-to-plastic glued joint. Connector component 4 includes a first interface 4a configured to chemically attach connector component 4 to beverage container component 2.

[0043] Connector component 4 is mechanically connected to bracket component 3. The lower cylindrical element 4c includes a bottom surface, in this example an annular surface, designed to abut against bracket component 3. The annular disk 4d, more precisely its bottom surface, includes two grooves 4e, arranged opposite each other on either side of an opening in the annular disk 4d. The grooves 4e engage with the tongue 3d of bracket component 3 to form an anti-rotation connection.

[0044] Connector component 4, more precisely, the upper cylindrical element 4b and the annular disk 4d, includes connector component thread 6a and connector component stop member 8a. (See example...) Figure 2 and Figure 8 It has two radially opposing connector component threads 6a and two radially opposing connector component stop members 8a. Here, the connector component stop member 8a is formed as a cut in the inner edge surface of the upper cylindrical element 4b and in the annular disk 4d.

[0045] The connector component thread 6a includes a connector component thread surface 7a, which in this example is parallel to the radial direction or lies in a radial plane and is therefore not inclined. In other embodiments, the connector component thread surface 7a may be inclined relative to the radial direction. The connector component thread 6a terminates in a connector component opposing surface 9a that forms a radial stop surface.

[0046] Figure 7-9 The plastic locking member 5, shown in more detail, can be configured to secure the bracket member 3 and the connector member 4 to each other. The term "secured" refers to the parts being firmly attached to each other without gaps. The locking member 5 and the connector member 4 are adapted to clamp the bracket member 3 between them. When the connector member 4 is glued to the beverage container member 2, the bracket member 3 will be secured to the beverage container member 2.

[0047] The locking component 5 includes a disc-shaped bottom component 5b from which a cylindrical portion 5a protrudes axially. The cylindrical portion 5a forms a locking component thread 6b with opposing locking component surfaces 9b and separately arranged locking component resilient stop members 8b. There are two radially opposing locking component threads 6b. There are two radially opposing locking component resilient stop members 8b. A slot is provided on the bottom side of the disc-shaped bottom component 5b, which can be engaged, for example, with a coin or screwdriver, to rotate the locking component 5, see details. Figure 8 and 9 .

[0048] The locking member thread 6b is formed as a circumferential threaded body protruding radially from the outer wall of the cylindrical portion 5a. Each resilient stop member 8b can be said to be formed by two cuts in the cylindrical portion 5a, which allows the stop member 8a to elastically deform in the radial direction. Figure 7 As shown by the dashed lines, each resilient stop member 8b is positioned at a distance d1 from the thread 6b of the adjacent locking member, more precisely, at a distance d1 from its opposing surface 9b. The resilient stop member 8b is formed as a beam element extending axially from the disc-shaped bottom member 5b.

[0049] The resilient stop member 8b is configured to elastically deform in the radial direction, while the locking member thread 6b is configured to convert rotational motion into axial motion. The resilient stop member 8b elastically deforms independently of the locking member thread 6b. Figure 7 As shown, the locking member thread 6b includes a locking member thread surface 7b operably facing the axial direction, while the resilient stop member 8b operably faces the radial direction.

[0050] In other known threaded connections with a stop device, the stop device can be engaged to hold the connection in the end position. The stop device is typically integrated into the threaded surface of the threaded connection and elastically deforms or moves in the axial direction of the connection. As a result, the axial force obtained by the threaded connection is slightly reduced after such a stop device has been engaged.

[0051] In this example, the stop is not integrated into the threaded surfaces 7a, 7b, and the locking member 5 is not gradually pressed against the connector member 4 as they rotate relative to each other to the end position. Furthermore, the resilient stop member 8b does not deform in the axial direction. In an alternative embodiment, the stop member may be configured as a radial protrusion on the locking member thread 6b, and the locking member thread 6b may resiliently deform in the radial direction. The threaded device in this example functions similarly to a bayonet fitting, but at the end position, for example after the stop has engaged, the axial force is not reduced.

[0052] Figure 7 ,in particular Figure 8The illustration shows the threaded surface 7b of the locking component, including a first section inclined relative to the radial direction. Figure 8 The right side of the middle section and the second section parallel to the radial direction ( Figure 8 (Left side of the image). This configuration allows the locking member, and therefore the support member, to be pressed upwards against the connector member in increasing increments until a certain degree of relative rotation is achieved, and then maintained under constant pressure during further rotation. In other embodiments, the threaded surface 7b of each locking member may be continuously inclined relative to the radial direction. Then, the pressure will continue to increase with rotation.

[0053] Figures 4 to 6 The diagram illustrates a method AC for connecting beverage container component 2, support component 3, connector component 4, and locking component 5.

[0054] In step A, connector component 4 is chemically attached to beverage container component 2 by adhesive bonding. This step involves applying adhesive to the top surface (concave disc 4a) of connector component 4 or the bottom of beverage container component 2, and then placing connector component 4 and beverage container component 2 together. The adhesive is preferably UV-curable, and connector component 4 is preferably translucent for this reason to allow UV light to pass through. In this example, connector component 4 is made of ABS plastic. Therefore, step A may include exposing the bonded joint to UV light.

[0055] In the second step B, the support component 3 is brought to the connector component 4, and the tongue 3d and the groove 4e are engaged to provide an anti-rotation connection. Through the mating tongue 3d and groove 4e, the support component 3 cannot rotate relative to the beverage container component 2.

[0056] In the third step C, the locking member 5 is screwed into the connector member 4 by engaging the threads 6a and 6b of the locking member. In this step, the bracket member 3 is secured to the connector member 4, and thus to the beverage container member 2.

[0057] As already described, in this embodiment, the threaded surface 7b of the locking member is inclined relative to the radial direction, while the threaded surface 7a of the mating connector member is not inclined. In other embodiments, the threaded surface 7a of the connector member is at least partially inclined, while the threaded surface 7b of the locking member is not inclined, or both 7a and 7b are inclined. The connector member 4 includes a second interface configured to mechanically attach the connector member 4 to the bracket member 3.

[0058] The diameter of the bracket component opening 3c is smaller than the diameter of the lower cylindrical element 4c of the connector component 4. The diameter of the lower cylindrical element 4c falls within the range of the inner and outer diameters of the annular bracket surface 3f, such that the lower cylindrical element 4c abuts against the inner side of the bracket surface 3e. The cylindrical portion 5a of the locking component 5 has a smaller diameter than the bracket component opening 3c, and thus passes through it and is subsequently screwed into the connector component 4. The diameter of the disc-shaped bottom component 5b is slightly smaller than that of the lower cylindrical element 4c, such that the disc-shaped bottom component 5b can be brought into the interior of the lower cylindrical element 4c (when the locking component 5 and the connector component 4 are screwed together) to abut against the annular disc 4d. The diameter of the disc-shaped bottom component 5b is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the annular disc 4d.

[0059] As the locking member 5 rotates relative to the connector member 4, the locking member 5 and the connector member 4 move axially closer to each other as the threads 6a and 6b of the connector member gradually engage, gradually clamping the support member 3 between them. During this process, the tongues 3d are axially elastically bent until they are finally aligned parallel to the plane of the edge 3e of the opening 3c of the support member.

[0060] Therefore, the bracket component 3 is clamped and securely held between the locking component 5 and the connector component 4. The bracket component 3 is held particularly securely because the tongue 3f elastically deforms when the bracket component 3 is clamped between the locking component 5 and the connector component 4. More precisely, the tongue 3f is clamped between the disc-shaped bottom component 5b and the annular disc 4d of the connector component 4. At the same time, the inner side of the bracket surface 3f abuts against the lower cylindrical element 4c.

[0061] like Figure 8 and 9 As shown by the dotted lines, there is a radially and axially extending distance d2 between the area where the lower cylindrical element 4c abuts against the support member 3 and the area where the disc-shaped bottom member 5b abuts against the support member 3. This distance d2 increases the portion of the support member 3 that can elastically deform and facilitates a secure clamping of the support member 3. (Refer to...) Figure 9 The locking element 5 presses the thin-walled support component 3 axially upward (towards the beverage container component 2), while the lower cylindrical element 4c presses the thin-walled support component 3 axially downward in the radially outer region.

[0062] Furthermore, the locking element, particularly the disc-shaped bottom part 5b, can elastically deform, thereby facilitating the clamping of the bracket part 3. This is achieved by the central portion of the disc-shaped bottom part 5b being pulled towards the connector part 4 by the cylindrical portion 5a (which is provided with locking element threads 6b), while the outer peripheral portion of the disc-shaped bottom part 5b is pushed away from the connector part 4 by the lower cylindrical element 4c. The disc-shaped bottom part 5b is thus bent.

[0063] When the locking member 5 and the connector member 4 rotate relative to each other to their end positions, at which point the opposing surfaces 9a, 9b abut against each other, and the locking member stop member 8b and the connector member stop member 8a engage. More specifically, the locking member resilient stop member 8b, having elastically deformed and slid along the inner surface of the upper cylindrical element 4b during relative rotation, now springs radially outward back into the receiving connector member stop member 8a. The engaging locking member stop member 8b and connector member stop member 8a prevent the locking member 5 from being screwed out of the connector member 4 in the opposite direction. However, if a sufficiently large rotational force is applied to the locking member 5, the locking member resilient stop member 8b will elastically deform radially inward and disengage from the connector member stop member 8a. Therefore, the mechanical attachment of the bracket member to the connector member is reusable.

[0064] A threaded device can be defined as a device that causes axial motion along an axis when rotated about an axis. In other words, a thread means converting rotational motion into translational motion.

[0065] The beverage bottle 1 is intended for use with a carbonator. Such a bottle 1 is repeatedly subjected to high internal pressure. For this purpose, the bottle 1, or more precisely, the beverage container component 2, is preferably constructed for use with a carbonator, which means that the beverage bottle 1 should withstand an internal pressure of at least 20 bar.
