[0019] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0020] <Configuration Example of Container Holder> FIG. 1 is a perspective view for explaining a configuration example of the container holder 1 in one embodiment. FIG. 2 is a front view showing the configuration example of the container holder 1, and FIG. 3 is a side view showing the configuration example of the container holder 1.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the container holder 1 includes a first holder 10, a second holder 11, and a handle member 12.

[0022] The first holder 10 has a first frame-shaped portion 20 that forms a first opening OP1, and is configured to hold a container by inserting the container into the first opening OP1. The first holder 10 functions as a pedestal when the container holder 1 is placed with the first holder 10 facing down (when the container holder 1 in FIG. 1 is placed upside down).

[0023] The first frame-shaped portion 20 has, for example, an annular shape. The first opening OP1 has a circular shape. The first frame-shaped portion 20 has a first flat surface 30 and a first outer peripheral wall 31. The first flat surface 30 is located on the side opposite to the side where the second holder 11 and the handle member 12 described later are located (the lower side in FIG. 1) (the upper side in FIG. 1). The first flat surface 30 is a plane perpendicular to the central axis A1 of the first frame-shaped portion 20. The first outer peripheral wall 31 stands substantially perpendicular to the first flat surface 30 and extends in the direction of the central axis A1 of the first frame-shaped portion 20 from the first flat surface 30. The first outer peripheral wall 31 may have a height exceeding 0 mm, 2 mm or more, 10 mm or more, and 25 mm or more.

[0024] The first frame-shaped portion 20 may have a tapered inner peripheral surface 20a whose diameter gradually decreases as it progresses in the direction where the second holder 11 and the handle member 12 are located (the downward direction in FIG. 1).

[0025] The first frame-shaped portion 20 has two connecting portions 40, 41 for connecting to the handle member 12. FIG. 4 is a rear view showing a configuration example of the first holder 10. As shown in FIG. 4, the connecting portions 40, 41 are provided at two locations on a diameter R1 passing through the central axis A1 of the first frame-shaped portion 20 and perpendicular to the central axis A1, that is, at positions point-symmetrical with respect to the center of the first opening OP1. The connecting portions 40, 41 are formed to protrude outward from the first outer peripheral wall 31 of the first frame-shaped portion 20. In this specification, the direction of the diameter R1 where the connecting portions 40, 41 of the first holder 10 are located is defined as the left-right direction X of the container holder 1.

[0026] The second holder 11 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a second frame-shaped portion 50 that forms a second opening OP2, and is configured to hold a container by inserting the container into the second opening OP2. The second holder 11 functions as a pedestal when the container holder 1 is placed with the second holder 11 facing downwards.

[0027] The second frame-shaped portion 50 has, for example, an annular shape. The second opening OP2 has a circular shape. As shown in FIG. 5, the second frame-shaped portion 50 has a second flat surface 60 and a second outer peripheral wall 61. The second flat surface 60 is located on the side opposite to the side where the first holder 10 and the handle member 12 are present (the lower side in FIG. 1). The second flat surface 60 is a plane perpendicular to the central axis A2 of the second frame-shaped portion 50. The second outer peripheral wall 61 is erected substantially perpendicular to the second flat surface 60 and extends from the second flat surface 60 in the direction of the central axis A2 of the second frame-shaped portion 50. The second outer peripheral wall 61 may have a height exceeding 0 mm, 2 mm or more, 10 mm or more, and 25 mm or more.

[0028] The second frame-shaped portion 50 may have a tapered inner peripheral surface 50a whose diameter gradually decreases as it advances in the direction where the first holder 10 and the handle member 12 are present (the upward direction in FIG. 1).

[0029] The second frame-shaped portion 50 has two connecting portions 70, 71 for connecting to the handle member 12. FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a configuration example of the second holder 11. As shown in FIG. 6, the connecting portions 70, 71 are provided at two positions on a diameter R2 passing through the central axis A2 of the second frame-shaped portion 50 and perpendicular to the central axis A2, that is, at positions point-symmetrical with respect to the center of the second opening OP2. The connecting portions 70, 71 are formed so as to project outward from the second outer peripheral wall 61 of the second frame-shaped portion 50.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 1, the first opening OP1 and the second opening OP2 have different sizes. The first opening OP1 is larger than the second opening OP2. The first opening OP1 and the second opening OP2 may have the same shape or different shapes.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the handle member 12 is configured to connect the first holder 10 and the second holder 11 such that the first frame-shaped portion 20 and the second frame-shaped portion 50 face each other. Further, the handle member 12 constitutes a portion for gripping and supporting when the user holds the container holder 1. In this specification, the horizontal direction perpendicular to the left-right direction X is defined as the front-rear direction Y of the container holder 1.

[0032] The handle member 12 has, for example, a plate-like and elongated shape. The container holder 1 includes, for example, two handle members 12. One of the handle members 12 connects the connecting portion 40 of the first holder 10 and the connecting portion 70 of the second holder 11, and the other of the handle members 12 connects the connecting portion 41 of the first holder 10 and the connecting portion 71 of the second holder 11. The handle member 12 connects the first holder 10 and the second holder 11 such that the first frame-shaped portion 20 and the second frame-shaped portion 50 are inclined with respect to each other. As shown in FIG. 3, when the container holder 1 is viewed from the side such that the two handle members 12 overlap, the first frame-shaped portion 20 and the second frame-shaped portion 50 are inclined with respect to the handle member 12 such that one side (the front side of the container holder 1) in the front-rear direction Y approaches each other, and the other side (the rear side) moves away from each other. That is, the first frame-shaped portion 20 and the second frame-shaped portion 50 are non-parallel. The angle α1 formed by the first frame-shaped portion 20 and the second frame-shaped portion 50 may be within a range of 5° or more and 80° or less.

[0033] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the handle member 12 has a shape that curves convexly outward with respect to the first frame-shaped portion 20 and the second frame-shaped portion 50. The handle member 12 curves such that the center in the longitudinal direction protrudes most outward. As shown in FIG. 3, the handle member 12 has a shape in which the width in the front-rear direction Y varies along the longitudinal direction. The handle member 12 has a relatively narrow width near both ends in the longitudinal direction and a relatively wide width near the central portion in the longitudinal direction.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 7, the handle member 12, the first holder 10, and the second holder 11 are configured to be detachable. For example, the handle member 12 has connecting portions 80 and 81 at both ends in its longitudinal direction. The connecting portions 80 and 81 of the handle member 12 are configured to be connectable and detachable to the connecting portions 40 and 41 of the first frame-shaped portion 20 and the connecting portions 70 and 71 of the second frame-shaped portion 50.

[0035] FIG. 8 is a partially enlarged view when the connecting portion 80 of the handle member 12 is removed from the connecting portion 40 of the first holder 10, and FIG. 9 is a partially enlarged view when the connecting portion 80 of the handle member 12 is connected to the connecting portion 40 of the first holder 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the connecting portion 80 has two protruding portions 100, and the connecting portion 40 has a receiving portion 110 into which the protruding portions 100 are inserted. As shown in FIG. 9, the receiving portion 110 locks the protruding portions 100 when the protruding portions 100 are inserted. The protruding portions 100 are configured such that the outer surfaces in the front-rear direction Y are exposed when inserted into the receiving portion 110. By the user pushing the exposed protruding portions 100 inward, the locking between the protruding portions 100 and the receiving portion 110 is released, and the protruding portions 100 can be removed from the receiving portion 110. For example, the connecting portion 81 has the same configuration as the connecting portion 80, and the connecting portions 41, 70, and 71 have the same configuration as the connecting portion 40.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 10, the receiving portion 110 of the connecting portion 40 has a pressing portion 120 in the front-rear direction Y. When the protruding portion 100 of the connecting portion 80 is inserted into the receiving portion 110, by the user pushing the pressing portion 120 inward, the locking between the protruding portion 100 and the receiving portion 110 is released, and the protruding portion 100 can be removed from the receiving portion 110. Note that the detaching and attaching mechanism between the handle member 12, the first holder 10, and the second holder 11 is not particularly limited and may be realized using known techniques.

[0037] The material of the container holder 1 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, made of resin, wood, metal, or the like.

[0038] <Examples of Use of the Container Holder> In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the container holder 1 is placed on a placement surface such that the first holder 10 is positioned above and the second holder 11 is positioned below. At this time, the second holder 11 is grounded on the placement surface, and the first holder 10 is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane above the second holder 11. As shown in FIG. 11, the container B1 is inserted into the first opening OP1 of the first frame-shaped portion 20 in the first holder 10 and is held by the first holder 10. The first holder 10 can hold a plurality of types of containers B1 with different sizes. The container B1 may be a cup, a plastic bottle, a water cylinder, or the like. The first holder 10 can hold containers B1 having different shapes and sizes from the containers that the second holder 11 can hold. The user may use the container B1 with a straw inserted. Further, the user may grip the handle member 12 or lift and use the container holder 1 using the handle member 12.

[0039] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the container holder 1 is placed on a placement surface such that the second holder 11 is positioned above and the first holder 10 is positioned below. This is a state in which the container holder 1 shown in FIG. 1 is placed in an inverted state. At this time, the first holder 10 is grounded on the placement surface, and the second holder 11 is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane above the first holder 10. As shown in FIG. 13, the container B2 is inserted into the second opening OP2 of the second frame-shaped portion 50 in the second holder 11 and is held by the second holder 11. The second holder 11 can hold a plurality of types of containers B2 with different sizes. Further, the second holder 11 can hold containers B2 having different shapes and sizes from the containers that the first holder 10 can hold. Specifically, when the diameter of the second opening OP2 of the second holder 11 is larger than the diameter of the first opening OP1 of the first holder 10, the second holder 11 can hold a container having a larger outer diameter than the containers that the first holder 10 can hold. When the shape of the second opening OP2 of the second holder 11 is different from the shape of the first opening OP1 of the first holder 10, the second holder 11 can hold a container having a shape that the first holder 10 cannot hold.

[0040] According to this embodiment, the container holder 1 includes a first holder 10 having a first frame portion 20 that forms a first opening OP1 and configured to hold a container by inserting the container into the first opening OP1, a second holder 11 having a second frame portion 50 that forms a second opening OP2 and configured to hold a container by inserting the container into the second opening OP2, and a handle member 12 that connects the first holder 10 and the second holder 11 such that the first frame portion 20 and the second frame portion 50 face each other. The first opening OP1 has a different size or shape from the second opening OP2. Thereby, the container holder 1 can hold containers with different sizes and shapes using the first holder 10 and the second holder 11, so that various types of containers can be held. Note that the first opening OP1 and the second opening OP2 may have the same shape but different sizes, may have the same size but different shapes, or may have both different sizes and shapes.

[0041] The handle member 12 connects the first holder 10 and the second holder 11 such that the first frame portion 20 and the second frame portion 50 are non-parallel. Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 12, when the container holder 1 is placed, the first holder 10 and the second holder 11 on the upper side are inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 13, the container held by the first holder 10 or the second holder 11 is inclined, so that it is easy to insert a straw into the container, and it is easy to see inside the container and easy to drink the beverage.

[0042] The first frame portion 20 has a first flat surface 30 on a second side opposite to a first side where the second frame portion 50 is disposed, and the second frame portion 50 has a second flat surface 60 on a fourth side opposite to a third side where the first frame portion 20 is disposed. Thereby, the container holder 1 can be stably placed regardless of whether the first holder 10 or the second holder 11 is placed downward.

[0043] At least one of the first frame-shaped portion 20 and the second frame-shaped portion 50 has outer peripheral walls 31 and 61 extending in the central axis direction of the frame-shaped portion. Thereby, when the container holder 1 is placed with the first frame-shaped portion 20 or the second frame-shaped portion 50 facing down, the container holder 1 can be stabilized. Further, the bottom of the container can be placed inside the outer peripheral walls 31 and 61 to restrict the movement of the container.

[0044] The first holder 10 and the second holder 11 are configured to be detachable from the handle member 12. Thereby, since the first holder 10, the second holder 11, and the handle member 12 can be disassembled and carried, the container holder 1 can be easily carried.

[0045] The handle member 12 has a shape that curves convexly outward with respect to the first frame-shaped portion 20 and the second frame-shaped portion 50. Thereby, the space formed between the container held by the first holder 10 or the second holder 11 and the handle member 12 becomes larger, so that it is easier to put a hand into the space, and as a result, the handleability of the container holder 1 is improved.

[0046] In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the handle member 12 may connect the first holder 10 and the second holder 11 so that the first frame-shaped portion 20 and the second frame-shaped portion 50 are parallel. In this case, the central axis A1 of the first frame-shaped portion 20 and the central axis A2 of the second frame-shaped portion 50 may coincide.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the container holder 1 may be configured such that another holder can be attached to and detached from the handle member 12. For example, the container holder 1 may have a third holder 200 as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16. The third holder 200 has a third frame-shaped portion 210 that forms a third opening OP3, and is configured to be able to hold a container by inserting the container into the third opening OP3. And the third holder 200 is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the handle member 12 in place of the first holder 10 or the second holder 11. For example, the third holder 200 may have a size or shape different from those of the first opening OP1 and the second opening OP2. The third opening OP3 may have, for example, a hexagonal shape as shown in FIG. 15, or may have a quadrilateral shape as shown in FIG. 16. The third opening OP3 may have, for example, a triangular shape, a pentagonal shape, or a polygonal shape with seven or more sides. The third opening OP3 may have a shape other than a circular shape or a polygonal shape. Also, the third holder 200 has a connecting portion 230 for connecting to the handle member 12. The connecting portion 230 may have the same configuration as the connecting portions 40, 41 of the first holder 10 and the connecting portions 70, 71 of the second holder 11.

[0048] According to such an example, the first holder 10 or the second holder 11 can be replaced with the third holder 200 as needed, so that the container holder 1 can be used to hold more types of containers.

[0049] In the above embodiments, the container holder 1 may further have a bottom plate member 250 as shown in FIG. 17. The bottom plate member 250 has a bottom surface 260. The bottom surface 260 may cover the entire bottom of the bottom plate member 250, or may cover a part of the bottom of the bottom plate member 250. The bottom plate member 250 is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the handle member 12 in place of the first holder 10 or the second holder 11. For example, the bottom plate member 250 has a size comparable to that of the first holder 10 and the second holder 11. The bottom plate member 250 has a connecting portion 270 for connecting to the handle member 12. The connecting portion 270 may have the same configuration as the connecting portions 40, 41 of the first holder 10 and the connecting portions 70, 71 of the second holder 11.

[0050] According to such an example, the first holder 10 or the second holder 11 can be replaced with the bottom plate member 250 as needed. Thereby, for example, when holding a tall container with the container holder 1, the bottom of the container can be placed on the bottom plate member 250, and thereby the container can be stably held.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the handle member 12 may have a mechanism capable of changing the angle formed by the first frame portion 20 and the second frame portion 50. In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 18, the handle member 12 includes two members 300 and 301 provided side by side in the longitudinal direction and partially overlapping, and a rotating portion 302 that relatively rotates the two members 300 and 301 at the overlapping portion of the two members 300 and 301. The rotating portion 302 is composed of, for example, a bolt and a nut. By loosening the nut, the two members 300 and 301 can be rotated, and by tightening the nut, the two members 300 and 301 can be fixed. Note that a mechanism capable of changing the angle formed by the first frame portion 20 and the second frame portion 50 may be realized using a known technique such as a ratchet mechanism.

[0052] According to such an example, the user can change the angle of the holder for holding the container according to the type of the container and the usage situation.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the number and shape of the handle members 12 can be arbitrarily selected. Also, the shapes of the first holder 10 and the second holder 11 can be arbitrarily selected.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 19, the two connecting portions 40 and 41 of the first frame-shaped portion 20 may be provided on the lower surface (the surface on the side of the second frame-shaped portion 50) of the first outer peripheral wall 31 of the first frame-shaped portion 20. The connecting portions 40 and 41 may be configured not to protrude outward from the first outer peripheral wall 31 but to protrude from the first outer peripheral wall 31 toward the second frame-shaped portion 50. Similarly, the two connecting portions 70 and 71 of the second frame-shaped portion 50 may be provided on the upper surface (the surface on the side of the first frame-shaped portion 20) of the second outer peripheral wall 61 of the second frame-shaped portion 50. The connecting portions 70 and 71 may be configured not to protrude outward from the second outer peripheral wall 61 but to protrude from the second outer peripheral wall 61 toward the first frame-shaped portion 20.
