[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3118522 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The plastic bottle holder in Patent Document 1 allows the cap to be opened with the fingers of one hand while the bottle is placed in the holder body. However, in order to remove the opened bottle from the holder body with one hand, a gap is required between the inner periphery of the cup-shaped holder body and the outer periphery of the bottle, making it impossible to hold the bottle stably. Furthermore, because of this gap, in order to open the cap, it is necessary to press the holder body against the bottom sheet while turning the cap, which is not very user-friendly.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a container holder that can stably hold a cylindrical container, effectively restrict the rotation of the cylindrical container, and allow the cylindrical container to be opened with the fingers of one hand. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a container holder includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a main body portion and an adjustment portion. At least a portion of the main body portion contacts the side of a cylindrical container having a cap that screws onto the upper end. The adjustment portion is provided on the main body portion. The adjustment portion adjusts the contact force of the main body portion with the side of the cylindrical container. The second portion has a bottom portion provided with a non-slip surface. The bottom portion is connected to the main body portion. At least a portion of the non-slip surface contacts the bottom surface of the cylindrical container and restricts rotation of the cylindrical container.

[0007] In the container holder according to the first aspect, when the main body of the first part is in contact with the side of the cylindrical container, the contact force of the main body part with respect to the side of the cylindrical container can be adjusted by the adjustment part. When the non-slip surface of the second part is in contact with the bottom surface of the cylindrical container, the non-slip surface can restrict rotation of the cylindrical container. As a result, the container holder can stably hold the cylindrical container, effectively restrict rotation of the cylindrical container, and allow the cylindrical container to be opened with the fingers of one hand.

[0008] With respect to a second aspect of the present invention, the container holder according to the first aspect may be configured as follows: the main body includes a band body. The band body is wrapped around the side of the cylindrical container. The adjustment portion includes an adjustment belt. The adjustment belt is provided on the band body. The adjustment belt adjusts the contact force of the main body.

[0009] In the container holder according to the second aspect, the band body is wrapped around the side of the cylindrical container, and the adjustment belt adjusts the contact force of the main body, thereby more stably holding the cylindrical container and more effectively restricting rotation of the cylindrical container.

[0010] With respect to a third aspect of the present invention, the container holder according to the second aspect may be configured as follows: The adjustable belt has a first belt, a second belt, and a connecting portion. One end of the first belt is attached to the band body. One end of the second belt is attached to the band body. The connecting portion detachably connects the other end of the first belt to the other end of the second belt. At least one of the first belt and the second belt has an adjustable belt length.

[0011] In the container holder according to the third aspect, the belt length of at least one of the first belt and the second belt can be changed, thereby enabling the contact force to be suitably adjusted. Since the first belt and the second belt are detachably connected by the connecting portion, the cylindrical container can be easily held in the container holder and easily removed from the container holder.

[0012] With respect to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the container holder according to the first or second aspect may be configured as follows: The container holder further includes an elastic string. The elastic string is connected to the main body portion. The elastic string is configured to be able to surround the periphery of the cap in an annular shape. The main body portion is disposed between the second portion and the elastic string.

[0013] In the container holder according to the fourth aspect, the elastic string surrounds the periphery of the cap, preventing the cylindrical container from slipping out of the container holder. Furthermore, even if the contact force of the main body with the side surface of the cylindrical container becomes weak, the elastic string biases the cylindrical container toward the second part, allowing the cylindrical container to be securely held in the container holder.

[0014] With respect to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the container holder according to the first or second aspect may be configured as follows: The bottom portion on which the non-slip surface is provided is swingably mounted on the main body portion. In the container holder according to the fifth aspect, by swinging the bottom portion, the non-slip surface can easily contact the bottom surface of the cylindrical container even if the thickness of the cylindrical container changes.

[0015] With respect to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the container holder according to the fifth aspect may be configured as follows: the second portion further includes a support portion. The support portion is connected to the main body portion. The support portion supports the bottom portion. In the container holder according to the sixth aspect, the support portion can reliably hold the position of the bottom portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to the present invention, the container holder can stably hold the cylindrical container, can effectively restrict the rotation of the cylindrical container, and can open the cylindrical container with the fingers of one hand. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0018] In this embodiment, a container holder according to the present invention will be described using a bottle holder 1 shown in Figs. 1 to 3. As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, a bottle BT (an example of a cylindrical container) has a bottle body B1 and a cap B2. In this embodiment, the bottle body B1 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom. The upper part of the bottle body B1 is formed with a smaller diameter than the central part and the lower part. The cap B2 is screwed onto the upper part of the bottle body B1, for example, onto the upper end part of the bottle body B1.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the bottle holder 1 holds a bottle BT. The bottle holder 1 includes a first portion 3, a second portion 5, and an elastic string body 7. The first portion 3 is a portion that surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the bottle BT.

[0020] 4, the first part 3 has a main body part 11, an adjustment part 12, and an attachment part 19. In the following description, the "up and down" and "left and right" will be described based on the left and right of FIG.

[0021] At least a portion of the main body 11 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the bottle BT. More specifically, the main body 11 includes a band main body 13. The band main body 13 is formed in a band shape. The band main body 13 is preferably formed from a material that is water-resistant, weather-resistant, and insulating, such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride).

[0022] The band body 13 is wrapped around the outer peripheral surface of the bottle BT. In this embodiment, the band body 13 is wrapped around the outer peripheral surface of the central portion of the bottle BT and the outer peripheral surface of the lower portion of the bottle BT. In the following description, the surface of the band body 13 facing the outer peripheral surface of the bottle BT is referred to as the inner surface of the band body 13.

[0023] 4, the adjustment part 12 is attached to the main body 11, for example, the band main body 13. The adjustment part 12 adjusts the contact force of the band main body 13 with the outer peripheral surface of the bottle BT. In detail, the adjustment part 12 has a hook-and-loop fastener 14 and an adjustment belt 15.

[0024] The hook and loop fastener 14 has a loop portion 14a shown in Fig. 5 and a hook portion 14b shown in Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 5, the loop portion 14a is attached to the inner surface of a first longitudinal end of the band body 13, for example, the inner surface of the left end 13a of the band body 13. As shown in Fig. 4, the hook portion 14b is attached to the outer surface of a second longitudinal end of the band body 13, for example, the outer surface of the right end 13b of the band body 13. In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction corresponds to the left-right direction.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 4, the adjustment belt 15 is attached to the band main body 13. The adjustment belt 15 has a first belt 16, a second belt 17, and a connecting portion 18. One end of the first belt 16 is attached to the left end portion 13a of the band main body 13. One end of the second belt 17 is attached to the center of the band main body 13 in the longitudinal direction.

[0026] The connecting portion 18 detachably connects the other end of the first belt 16 and the other end of the second belt 17. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 18 is a side-release type buckle. The connecting portion 18 has a female buckle 18a and a male buckle 18b. The female buckle 18a is attached to the other end of the first belt 16. The male buckle 18b is attached to the other end of the second belt 17.

[0027] In this state, the male buckle 18b is configured to be able to change the belt length of the second belt 17. Specifically, with the second belt 17 inserted through the two slits of the male buckle 18b, the belt length of the second belt 17 can be changed by pulling or letting out the second belt 17.

[0028] The male buckle 18b is connected to the female buckle 18a by fitting into the female buckle 18a. When the male buckle 18b is connected to the female buckle 18a, the connection with the female buckle 18a can be released by pressing both sides of the male buckle 18b.

[0029] 3 and 4, the attachment part 19 is a part where the bottle holder 1 is attached to a part of the user that is attached to the part. The part that is attached to the user includes the user's waist belt, the belt of the user's bag, etc. The attachment part 19 has a vertical belt 19a, a first horizontal belt 19b, and a second horizontal belt 19c.

[0030] The vertical belt 19a can be attached to a part to be worn, such as a waist belt of a user. The vertical belt 19a is attached to the outer surface of the band body 13 at the center in the longitudinal direction of the band body 13. The vertical belt 19a extends in the short direction of the band body 13. In this embodiment, the short direction corresponds to the up-and-down direction.

[0031] 2, the vertical belt 19a is inserted into a first buckle 19d1 that includes two slits and is formed into a loop. The belt length of the vertical belt 19a can be changed by pulling or unwinding the vertical belt 19a while the vertical belt 19a is inserted into the two slits of the first buckle 19d1.

[0032] 3 and 4, the first horizontal belt 19b is attached to a part to be worn, such as the belt of a user's bag. The first horizontal belt 19b is wound around the vertical belt 19a above the vertical belt 19a. The first horizontal belt 19b is inserted into a second buckle 19d2 having two slits and formed into a loop.

[0033] The second horizontal belt 19c is wound around the vertical belt 19a below the vertical belt 19a. The second horizontal belt 19c is inserted through a third buckle 19d3 that includes two slits, and is formed into a loop shape.

[0034] The belt lengths of the first horizontal belt 19b and the second horizontal belt 19c can be changed by pulling or pushing out the first horizontal belt 19b and the second horizontal belt 19c while they are inserted into the two slits of the second buckle 19d2 and the third buckle 19d3, respectively.

[0035] The second part 5 shown in Figures 1 to 5 is a part that supports the bottom surface of the bottle BT. As shown in Figure 4, the second part 5 has a bottom part 21 and a support part 22. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the bottom part 21 is connected to the main body part 11 in a swingable manner. More specifically, the bottom part 21 is attached to the band main body 13 in a swingable manner.

[0036] 5, the bottom portion 21 is swingably attached to a first end portion in the short direction of the band body 13, for example, the bottom end portion 13c of the band body 13. More specifically, the bottom portion 21 is swingably attached to the inner surface of the bottom end portion 13c of the band body 13. In this configuration, the base end portion 21a of the bottom portion 21 is attached to the bottom end portion 13c of the band body 13, and the tip end portion 21b of the bottom portion 21 swings relative to the bottom end portion 13c of the band body 13.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 2, when the bottle BT is held in the bottle holder 1, the bottom portion 21 is disposed between the bottom surface of the bottle BT and the support portion 22. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the bottom portion 21 is provided with a non-slip surface 21c. At least a portion of the non-slip surface 21c contacts the bottom surface of the bottle BT. In this embodiment, the non-slip surface 21c partially contacts the bottom surface of the bottle BT. This restricts the rotation of the bottle BT by the non-slip surface 21c.

[0038] The non-slip surface 21c is preferably made of synthetic rubber such as chloroprene. The non-slip surface 21c is preferably subjected to a sharkskin finish. In this embodiment, the non-slip surface 21c is bonded to the bottom part 21 made of jersey material, but the entire bottom part 21 may be made of synthetic rubber such as chloroprene.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 4 , the support part 22 supports the bottom part 21. The support part 22 is connected to the main body part 11. More specifically, the support part 22 is attached to the lower end part 13c of the band main body 13. The support part 22 has a fixing belt 23, a fourth buckle 24, and a loop belt 25. One end of the fixing belt 23 is attached to the lower end part 13c of the band main body 13. More specifically, one end of the fixing belt 23 is attached to the inner surface of the lower end part 13c in the longitudinal center of the band main body 13.

[0040] The fourth buckle 24 is, for example, a square ring. The other end of the fixed belt 23 is attached to the fourth buckle 24. A loop belt 25 is inserted through the fourth buckle 24. One end of the loop belt 25 is attached to the lower end of the left end 13a of the band main body 13, and the other end of the loop belt 25 is attached to the lower end of the right end 13b of the band main body 13.

[0041] 1 to 4 is configured to be able to surround the periphery of the cap B2 in a ring shape. As shown in Fig. 4, the elastic cord 7 is connected to the main body 11, for example, to the upper end 13d of the band main body 13.

[0042] Specifically, by attaching both ends of the elastic cord 7 to the upper end of the band body 13, the annular elastic cord 7 is positioned on top of the band body 13. A cord stopper 26 is attached to the annular elastic cord 7. In this state, the band body 13 is positioned between the elastic cord 7 and the second portion 5 (bottom portion 21 / support portion 22) in the short direction.

[0043] The bottle holder 1 having the above configuration holds the bottle BT as follows. First, the band main body 13 is wrapped around the outer peripheral surface of the bottle BT. At this time, the bottom portion 21 is bent by the support portion 22 and approaches the bottom surface of the bottle BT. Next, the loop portion 14a of the hook and loop fastener 14 is attached to the hook portion 14b of the hook and loop fastener 14. In this state, the inner surface of the band main body 13 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the bottle BT, and at least a portion of the non-slip surface 21c of the bottom portion 21 contacts the bottom surface of the bottle BT.

[0044] Next, the first belt 16 of the adjustment belt 15 and the second belt 17 of the adjustment belt 15 are wound around the outer circumferential surface of the band main body 13. Subsequently, the male buckle 18b is fitted into the female buckle 18a, and the belt length of the second belt 17 is changed via the two slits in the male buckle 18b. This adjusts the contact force of the band main body 13 with the outer circumferential surface of the bottle BT.

[0045] Finally, the annular elastic string 7 is wound around the upper portion of the bottle BT and is tightly attached to the upper portion of the bottle BT by the cord stopper 26. As a result, the outer peripheral surface of the bottle BT is held by the band body 13 and the adjustment belt 15 with the rotation of the bottom surface of the bottle BT restricted by the non-slip surface 21c, and the bottle BT is held between the elastic string 7 and the support part 22.

[0046] The bottle holder 1 described above has the following features. In the bottle holder 1, when the main body 11 of the first section 3 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the bottle BT, the adjustment section 12 can adjust the contact force of the main body 11 with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the bottle BT. When the non-slip surface 21c of the second section 5 is in contact with the bottom surface of the bottle BT, the rotation of the bottle BT can be restricted by the non-slip surface 21c. As a result, the bottle holder 1 can stably hold the bottle BT, suitably restrict the rotation of the bottle BT, and allow the bottle BT to be opened with the fingers of one hand.

[0047] In the bottle holder 1, the band main body 13 is wrapped around the outer circumferential surface of the bottle BT, and the adjustment belt 15 adjusts the contact force of the main body part 11. This makes it possible to hold the bottle BT more stably and more appropriately restrict the rotation of the bottle BT.

[0048] In bottle holder 1, the belt length of second belt 17 can be changed, making it possible to suitably adjust the contact force of main body 11 with the outer circumferential surface of bottle BT. First belt 16 and second belt 17 are detachably connected by connecting portion 18, making it possible to easily hold bottle BT in bottle holder 1 and easily remove bottle BT from bottle holder 1.

[0049] In the bottle holder 1, the elastic string 7 surrounds the periphery of the cap B2, preventing the bottle BT from slipping out of the bottle holder 1. Furthermore, even if the contact force of the main body 11 against the outer circumferential surface of the bottle BT becomes weaker, the elastic string 7 biases the bottle BT toward the second part 5, allowing the bottle BT to be securely held in the bottle holder 1.

[0050] In the bottle holder 1, by swinging the bottom portion 21, the bottom portion 21 can be easily brought into contact with the bottom surface of the bottle BT even if the thickness of the bottle BT changes. Also, in the bottle holder 1, the position of the bottom portion 21 can be reliably maintained by the support portion 22.

[0051] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention. In particular, the embodiments described in this specification can be arbitrarily combined as necessary.

[0052] The hook portion 14b may be provided on the inner surface of the first end of the band body 13, and the loop portion 14a may be provided on the outer surface of the second end of the band body 13.

[0053] The male buckle 18b may be attached to the other end of the second belt 17, and the female buckle 18a may be attached to the other end of the second belt 17. In this case, the belt length of the first belt 16 is changed.

[0054] A hook-and-loop fastener may be provided on the tip end 21b of the bottom portion 21 and the lower end 13c of the band body 13. In this case, a hook portion is provided on either the tip end 21b of the bottom portion 21 or the lower end 13c of the band body 13. A loop portion is provided on the other either the tip end 21b of the bottom portion 21 or the lower end 13c of the band body 13. In this case, the support portion 22 may or may not be used.
