CHERMON ISRAEL ΝΟΑ001ΒΓΓ tog. Mario Botti (register no. 493) Ml 95 A 00^ 6IU. 1995 * * 0 Owner: CHERMONI ISRAEL Title: Device for cooling bottles and cans of drinks in the car11 DESCRIPTION Technical field of the invention The present invention relates to a device for cooling beverage bottles and cans in automobiles. More specifically, the present invention relates to a device for cooling bottles and cans of beverages using the air conditioning system of the automobile, comprising an attachment which is applied to the air conditioning grille and a cup for holding the can and which is connected to the attachment or to any other connecting body. State of the art A driver or passengers in a vehicle occasionally need a cold drink. Some cars have air conditioning, so holding cans of beverage near the air conditioning vent can cool the beverage. Any device holding the cans of beverage must be able to be securely attached to the car, because in the event of a - 2 CHERMONS ISRAEL NOAOOIBIT Eng. Mario Botti (registered in the register no. 493) Otherwise, the movement of the car would cause the beverage can to fall. It is also essential that the device be easy to detach and attach as needed. Nowadays, many accessories are attached to the car with a magnet. This offers neither stability nor safety, while in vehicles where the dashboard is not made of metal, a magnet is completely unnecessary. On the other hand, there are ways to attach accessories to the vehicle with bolts, but these cannot be easily attached or detached. The device according to the present invention can be attached and detached easily and as needed, but once attached, it is still stable and secure. The best place to store beverage cans in your vehicle, and one that is almost never used, is on the walls of the air conditioner vent and the grilles that change the direction of airflow in the air conditioner itself. U.S. Patent No. 4,852,843 describes a beverage can cylinder that attaches, by means of two hooks, to the air conditioner grilles for cooling. The inadequacy of this patent arises from the connection to the grilles because, during the stroke, the cylinder, which is not securely fixed, bounces, shifts and is generally noisy because - 3 CHERMONS ISRAEL ΝΟΑ001ΒΓΓ eng. Mario Botti (registered no. 493) the connection is not secure, but rather that of a precariously hanging object. The device according to the present invention overcomes these problems of can bouncing and places the beverage cans in the optimum spot for their cooling. Summary of the invention The present invention relates to a device for cooling beverage cans with the air conditioning of a car, comprising: an attachment which is applied to the air conditioning grille, and a cup which holds the beverage can connected to the attachment, or to a different application body which is connected to the attachment, wherein the attachment is made of partially flexible metal wire shaped so as not to be influenced by the weight of the can, but which with the strength of the hands can be bent at the appropriate points in order to precisely adjust the can according to an angle, in a position and with optimum stability in front of and adjacent to the air conditioning vent, and wherein the metal wire is composed of three main parts, namely the retention area, U-shaped and enveloping the air conditioning grille, a area reserved for the optimum adjustment of the position of the can, CHERMON ISRAEL ΝΟΑ001ΒΓΓ ing. Mario Botti (her. albo n° 493) and an area that engages in the cup or in a device for connecting to the cup, and in which the cup has an opening and a volume that allow for stable and comfortable retention of the beverage can and, in its walls, many openings that admit currents of cold air from the air conditioner for cooling the beverage can, and in its sides, grooves and nodules for connection to the coupling. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the metal wire is coated with a plastic material. The retention and anchoring area for the air conditioner attachment consists of two parallel U-shaped bends at the two ends of the metal wire. The retention area for the cup support in the metal wire consists of two parallel L-shaped bends, or a mirror image of the L-shaped bend connecting them. The length of the arms or the angle of the L-shape can be varied as needed. The wire adjustment zone is a Z-shape where both angles can be varied for the purpose of exact and convenient adjustment of the distance and angle of the body taken relative to the horizontal plane of the dashboard, while simultaneously allowing - 5 engineers Mario Botti (her. register n° 493) CHERMON ISRAEL NOAOOIBIT mounting the lower curved end on the dashboard to improve its stability. The wire may be connected to a connecting body, and that body may be connected to the support cup, and in which the wire is gripped and wrapped in a circle or loop around the axis of the connecting body. The connecting body may be a tubular shaft with two opposing threads, right-handed and left-handed. The connecting body may have two retaining and support arms perpendicular to the tubular shaft and screwed onto the tubular shaft with a right-handed thread and a left-handed thread. The wire retention and anchoring area in the support cup can be configured so that the wire rises upwards in the form of two parallel wires that close in a balanced connection at the top. In a preferred embodiment, said two parallel wires that extend upwards have a bend that protrudes outward to engage the hole in the support cup. Detailed description of the invention The invention will be described in detail in Figures 1-33.

Mario Botti (her. albo u° 493) Figure 41 describes, in top view, the method described in Figure 40; Figure 42 describes the attachment (1) in side view; Figure 43 describes the attack (1) in top view; Figure 44 shows the attachment (20) in side view; Figure 45 describes the attachment ( 20 ) in top view. A detailed description of the figures follows. Figure 1 depicts a mode, here called mode A, in side view. The device comprises a fitting (1) and a cup (2) in which the beverage can is placed. The shape and size of the cup are adapted to the shape and size of the beverage can. The fitting is made of partially flexible wire, comprising three zones. A U-shaped zone (1a) in which the fitting embraces the air conditioner grille (3), a zone for producing the optimum position and angle of the cup relative to the air conditioner vent (1b), and a U-shaped zone in which the cup (1e) engages. The three zones are defined by two parallel wires connected in a - 11 CHERMONIS ISRAEL NOAOOIBIT ing. Mario Botti (registered no. 493) balanced in the cup area, as described in Figure 2. The metal wire of the attachment is flexible enough to allow the angle of the cup relative to the air conditioner to be changed with the strength of the user's hand, but stable enough to maintain its shape under the weight of the beverage can and the shaking of the car. Figure 2 shows the device in side view in mode A, as illustrated in Figure 1, but with a different angle of the attachment to adapt it to the angle of the air conditioner grille (3). Figure 3 depicts the device according to the invention, in top view, in mode A (described in Figure 1), when attached to the air conditioner grille. The attachment (1) encompasses the air conditioner grille (3). The attachment comprises partially hardened metal wires of identical configuration, connected in parallel and in a balanced manner in the area (Id) of the cup and which open in the sides of the cup to allow the insertion of the U-shaped area in which the cup is engaged (le), into the cup. The area (Ib) of the attachment allows a slight change in position and angle of the cup towards the optimum position. - 12 CHERMONS ISRAEL NOAOOIBIT Eng. Mario Botti (registered as IF 493) regarding the opening of the air conditioner. Figure 4 describes the device, according to the invention, in lateral view and in mode A1. The mode is as follows: in the adjustment and positioning area of ​​the attachment, there is a vault (Ib) which allows, by changing its angle, to position the cup (2) with respect to the opening of the air conditioner. Figure 5 depicts the device according to the invention, in side view and in another mode defined here as mode B, when connected to the air conditioner grille. The U-shaped attachment area (1a) wraps around the grille (3), the attachment area (1b) rests on its side against the dashboard, and by varying the angle, the cup (2) can be adjusted to the desired angle relative to the air conditioner opening. The attachment area (1c) is the area where the cup connects to, and engages, the attachment. Figure 6 is a side view of the same mode B of the invention, illustrating the possibility of bending of the area (lb) that rests against the dashboard. Figure 7 describes the details of Figure 3 in top view. The attachment ( 1 ) in the area (la) fits around the air conditioner grille (3) and - 13 CIERMONI ISRAEL NOAOOIBIT engineer Mario Botti (register no. 493) engages the cup in area (le). In area (Ib), by varying the angle of 1 * with respect to area (le), it becomes possible to adjust the cup to the optimal angle. The attachment is configured with two parallel parts connected horizontally in area (Id). Figures 8, 9, 10, and 11 describe one mode of the device, here referred to as mode C, in three positions C1, C2, and C3. In this mode, the area (Ie) of the attachment connected to the cup is L-shaped, and the area (Ib) of the attachment, used to adjust the cup relative to the air conditioner vent, has a dome (nodule) that points upward in positions C2 and C3 (Figures 9 and 10). Figure 8 describes the device in side view and mode Cl. The attachment in area (la) surrounds the mask (3). Area (ib) is used to adjust the optimal position and angle of the cup in relation to the air conditioner vent. The attachment area (le) is shaped ab” and is used to hold the cup (2) above the attachment. The height of the cup (2) in relation to the air conditioner vent can be adjusted by varying the angle a in area (Ib). The attachment engages the air conditioner grille in area (la). Figure 9 describes the Cl mode of the device - 14 CHERMONIS ISRAEL ΝΟΑ001ΒΓΓ tog. Mario Betti (file no. 493) in lateral view, according to the invention. The attachment, in the area (la), surrounds the mask (3). In the adjustment and positioning area of ​​the attachment, a vault (Ih) is provided which allows, by varying its angle, to position the cup ( 2) with respect to the air conditioner vent. The attachment area (le), L-shaped, is used to hold the cup ( 2 ) above the attachment. Figure 10 shows the device in side view, as already described in Figure 5, but with a variation. The vault (Ib) is higher and allows the cup (2) to be brought closer to, and close to, the dashboard by changing the angle τ (see dotted line (le)). Figure 11 shows a top view of the device as described in Figure 6, when connected to the grille. As in the previous modes, the attachment is connected to the grille (3) in area (la), and to the cup (2) in area (le), in a parallel series of configurations connected horizontally under the cup (Id). The vault (Ib) allows the cup to be moved closer to and further away from the air conditioner vent. Figure 12 depicts the device in side view, according to the invention, when connected to the air conditioner in a manner defined herein as mode D. - 15 CHERMON ISRAEL NOAOOIBIT ing. Mario Botti (fscr. register no. 493) The connection (1) is connected in area (la) to the mask (3) and, in area (le) to the connecting body (4). Between areas (la) and (le), the connection has an adjustment area (Ib). The connecting body connects the connection and the cup (2) with nodules (5) inserted through a groove on the side of the cup. The connecting body (4) is made up of an axis, a screw with right and left threads, and a head (4a). Two bodies (4b) and (4c) are screwed onto the screw, one with right-hand thread and the other with left-hand thread. Each body has a nodule (5) inserted in the groove on the side of the cup. Between the head of the screw (4a) and the body (4b), there is a loop (le) of the connection which fixes them by rotation of the screw head. Figure 13 shows a top view of the details described in Figure 8, where the attachment area (1a) wraps around the air conditioner grille (3). The attachment area (1b) is an adjustment area for the distance and angle of the cup (2) relative to the air conditioner vent. The loop (1e) is used for insertion, and the connecting body has a link (5) that connects the attachment and the cup. Figures 14-22 describe the details already CHERMON ISRAEL ΝΟΑ001ΒΓΓ tag. Mario Botti (ber. albo ri'493) described in Figures 12 and 13 with slight changes. Figures 14 and 15 depict the attachment connected to the retaining body as described in Figures 12 and 13 (in mode D), except that in area (4b) an arm is provided that acts as a stabilizing arm for the attachment. Figure 14 depicts the attachment connected to the retaining body in side view, and Figure 15 depicts the attachment connected to the retaining body in top view. Figures 16 and 17 depict the attachment in the so-called D mode, in side view and top view respectively. The attachment is bent towards the air conditioner in the area (Ib), so that the cup comes closer to the air conditioner vent. Furthermore, by bending and varying the vertical angle it becomes possible to adjust the air conditioner openings (3) to an angle as described in Figure 16. Figures 18 and 19 show, in mode D, a side view and a top view respectively, another development of the attachment in the adjustment area (Ib). The curves in this area allow for much greater flexibility in bending and bringing the cup closer to the air conditioner. In addition, this connection allows (like the previous variants, - 17 CHERMONIS ISRAEL NOAOOIBIT tng. Mario Botti (registered no. 493) but with greater ease) the connection of the attachment to the air conditioner grille, in which the grille is vertical, by rotating the loop (le) towards a horizontal position and engaging the connecting body and the cup in a vertical position. Figures 20 and 21 depict isometrically and in side view, respectively, another variant of the connecting body that connects the socket and the cup. Figure 20 isometrically depicts the connecting body (6) when connected to the coupling (1). The connecting body comprises a screw (6) with right-hand and left-hand threads, onto which a body with right-hand thread (6a) and left-hand thread (6b) is screwed, where each screwed body is connected to an arm that lies perpendicular to the axis and is used to support the can from below (7) and / or for insertion into the air conditioner grille for additional stabilization (8). These arms can be rotated around the screwing axis and, thanks to this rotation, can be moved apart or closer to each other as required. On the other side of each arm there is a nodule (9) for connecting the cup via a longitudinal groove. Figure 21 shows a side view of the body - 18 CHERMON ISRAEL NOAOOIBIT ing. Marlo Botti (register no. 493) of the connection described in Figure 20, with one difference. The section (6a) screwed onto the upper thread has been screwed in reverse, so that the arm is located in the lower section. A similar inversion can also be produced in the section (6b). All this for the purpose of optimal adjustment for the connection to the air conditioning grille or for resting on the dashboard, as well as stabilizing the cup at a suitable height. Figure 22 isometrically depicts the connecting body described in Figure 20. The ability to rotate the perpendicular arm as needed has been emphasized here. In this case, the arm is turned toward the dashboard and rests against it, providing further stability to the cup's vertical position. Figures 23 and 24 depict the device, in side and top views respectively, in a mode called here the F mode. Figure 23 describes the device according to the invention. The attachment (1) is connected to the cup (2) with a connection area of ​​the attachment to the U-shaped air conditioner grille (1a) with a connection area of ​​the attachment to the cup (1e) and an adjustment area (1b) by bending and varying - 19 CHERMONIS ISRAEL NOAOOIBIT tng. Mario Botti (registered with IF 493) of the angles a and / or β. Figure 24 shows, in top view, the device described in Figure 23. Figures 25, 26 and 27 depict the attack in side view, in a mode called here the G mode, in three different positions. Figure 25 describes the attachment with zones (la), in the G mode, for application to the air conditioner grille, and the Z-shaped zone (Ib) for adjusting the position of the cup relative to the air conditioner vent, as well as a zone (le) for connecting the attachment to the cup. Figure 26 depicts an attack totally identical to the attack in Figure 25, except for one time in zone (Ib) (Gl mode). Figure 27 shows a side view of the attachment described in Figure 25 after bending and changing the angle α. This is an open position in which the device can be detached from the air conditioning grille. The description in Figure 22 is for a closed position in which the can is connected at the section (l e) and the bend in the area of ​​angle α touches the dashboard, thereby stabilizing the cup and preventing it from shaking while driving. - 20 CHERMONS ISRAEL NOAOOIBIT Eng. Mario Botti (register no. 493) Figure 28 shows a side view of the attachment described in Figure 25, when it is connected on one side to the grille (3) in its area (la), and in the area of ​​curvature according to the angle it rests on the dashboard for stabilization purposes. The area (le) of the attachment is used for connection to the cup. Figure 29 shows the attachment in side view in mode G, when applied to the air conditioner grille, which tilts into a convenient position for extraction. Figure 30 depicts the device in side view, according to the invention, in mode G, when applied to the air conditioner grille (3) and where a can (8) of beverage is placed inside the cup (2) which is connected to the attachment (1). Figure 31 isometrically depicts the cup that holds the beverage can. This cup is an important part of the device according to the invention, and has openings (9) to allow cold air from the air conditioner to strike the sides of the beverage can. The beverage can is inserted and positioned inside the cup through the top opening of the cup. A longitudinal groove (10) extends along the side of the cup with, in - 21 CHERMONIS ISRAEL NOAOOIBIT Ing. Mario Botti (registered no. 493) corresponding to its bottom (11), a lateral opening which allows the insertion of the edge of the attachment intended for connection, or intended to be inserted into a coupling nodule of the connecting body. The holes (12) corresponding to the sides of the connection area allow the connector to be used in the H mode described in Figure 28. Figure 32 isometrically describes an attachment in a mode called here the H mode. Zone (1a) is used for engagement with the air conditioner grille. Zone (1b) is used to adjust the angle of the cup by varying the angle α. The nodules (1e) in the vertical zone, which fit into the cup, engage the holes (12) mentioned in Figure 31. It is possible, by engaging the appropriate holes, to adjust the height of the cup relative to the air conditioner vent. Figure 33 shows another isometric example of a cup for holding a can of beverage. This time, there are no holes in the sides of the connection area. The invention also relates to the device, having an attachment for supporting and retaining tubular objects of variable circumference (such as beverage bottles) which are placed inside the cup - 22 CHERMONIS ISRAEL ΝΟΑ001ΒΓΓ fug. Mario Botti (registered no. 493) (hereinafter referred to as the bottle holder). The bottle holder includes a metal retention wire and a locking hook (hereinafter referred to as the double-edged hook). Figure 34 shows a side view of the bottle holder retaining element. It is made of partially flexible wire, and engages the bottom of the cup by being inserted into a groove in the bottom of the cup. Its bottom shape is that of a U (13), the rim (14) being inserted into a groove in the bottom of the cup. Its central portion (15) rises upwards, along the outside of the cup, and then opens above the cup into two arms ( 16 ) that create a circle at the top opening of the cup, with a variable circumference (with a hook) to grip tubular products of variable circumference placed inside the cup (such as bottles). The corner area (17) is used for sliding the double-edged hook (described later in Figure 36) along it, thus varying the circumference of the circle that creates the arms. A slight bend in area (17b) locks the hook firmly in place. Figure 35 depicts the same element of - 23 CHERMONIS ISRAEL NOAOOIBIT ing. Mario Botti (tecr. albo if 493) retention m seen from above. The arms (16) grip the body or the neck of the bottle in any area with permanent or variable circumference. The change in circumference of the arms is obtained by establishing the position of the double-edged hook (Figure 36) between the parts (17a) and (17b). Figure 36 depicts the double-edged hook (which is an integral part of the bottle holder). The double-edged hook is also made of wire, and is simply a straight length ending in two hooks (18). These hooks engage part (17) of the retaining part and are able to slide between points (17a) and (17b). The difference between the distances, marked A and B in Figure 35, is what the closing and opening movement of the arms produces (changing the circumference of the circle they create) as the double-edged hook is slid along them. This double-edged hook also serves to combine said bottle holder with the attachment used to connect to the air conditioner grille. Figure 37 also depicts the retention part of the same bottle holder seen from the side from a different angle. Figure 38 shows an example of the bottle holder in side view, when mounted in the - 24 CHERMONIS ISRAEL ΝΟΑ001ΒΓΓ Jul. Mario Botti (tscr. albo if 493) device, as described in Figure 8. The cup (8) engages the air conditioner grille via the attachment (1) with the curve (la), the coinciding part (Ib) and the part that engages the cup (le). The bottle holder retention part also connects along the side wall of the cup, but on its outer side. The double-edged hook, used to establish the circumference of the arms (16) is able to move up to a point (17b). A slight bend in the area (17b) allows the hook to be stably locked. Figure 39 shows a side view of another example of mounting the same bottle holder in the device, according to the invention. This figure shows the mounting of the bottle holder in the device, similar to that exemplified and described in Figures 22-12. Figure 40 shows a side view of a possibility for a firm and stable hold of the air conditioner cover bar (4) with the connecting body. Comparing this figure to Figure 12, Figure 12 has only one attachment (1), while in this figure, another attachment (20) is added which presses on the air conditioner cover (3) from the opposite (lower) side. The combination of the upper and lower attachments produces a firm and stable hold of the connecting body on the air conditioner cover. - 25 CHERMONS ISRAEL NOAOOIBIT bag.
