Rotatable Double-Neck Bottle Holder for Controlled Pouring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bottle designs, such as the double-sided bottle, face issues with inconvenient liquid pouring due to the inability to fix the bottle in a desired position and the lack of controlled liquid transfer between connecting vessels.
Innovation Solution
A bottle holder with a frame of vertical rods and support platforms allows the bottle to be fixed and rotated, featuring swing joints for controlled pouring from either side, with internal tubes ensuring air pressure aids liquid transfer between vessels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a bottle is held in the hand, then the bottle can be transported, but the hand and arm become tired due to the weight and awkward positioning
Solution Approach 1:
The holder utilizes the third dimension by extending downward from the hand, allowing the bottle to be supported below the palm rather than being held entirely in the hand. This dimensional extension transfers the support function to the wrist/arm structure, reducing the effective weight on the hand while maintaining transport capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder acts as an intermediary structure between the hand and the bottle. It provides a mechanical extension that distributes the bottle's weight across the hand, wrist, and arm, rather than concentrating it in the hand. This intermediary structure enables more comfortable holding by sharing the load across multiple body parts.
2Ease of operation
If the holder structure is extended to provide better support, then comfort improves, but the holder becomes more complex and harder to clean
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is segmented into distinct functional zones: a hand-contact portion with recesses for fingers, a longitudinal channel for the bottle, and an extended support structure. This segmentation allows each zone to be optimized independently while maintaining overall simplicity, balancing comfort with ease of cleaning.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder is formed as a thin-walled plastic shell structure that provides structural support while remaining lightweight and simple to manufacture. The thin-film construction avoids complex internal mechanisms, making the extended structure both comfortable and easy to clean.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the holder is designed to accommodate different bottle sizes, then versatility improves, but the fit becomes less secure
Solution Approach 1:
The holder features localized adaptive elements including finger recesses that conform to hand anatomy and a longitudinal channel that accommodates various bottle diameters. These local quality variations provide versatility for different bottle sizes while maintaining secure fit through targeted contact points.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder design incorporates flexible plastic material that can elastically deform to accommodate different bottle sizes and shapes. This dynamic flexibility allows the rigid-looking structure to adapt to various bottles while maintaining secure holding through elastic recovery and friction.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables controlled liquid pouring from either side and transfer between vessels at a predetermined rate, enhancing usability and functionality.
Implementation Method 1
The frame is fixed on the holder axes with the possibility of rotation about the holder due to the swing joint
Implementation Method 2
the large end of the first tube goes into the upper vessel, and the large end of the second tube goes into the lower vessel, ensuring the air pressure on the poured liquid

AI summary
The invention relates to a holder with a bottle, which comprises a frame consisting of vertical rods mounted between two supporting platforms, a bottle being accommodated inside said frame. The bottle is secured to the frame via a supporting platform. The frame is rotatably fastened to shafts of the holder by means of a pivot connection. External elements are provided on the supporting platforms for closing/opening the necks of the bottle. The pivot connections between the holder and the frame are designed such that the frame with the bottle can be fixed in the desired position. The bottle is in the form of two communicating vessels, which are connected to one another by their apexes, and has two necks, one in the bottom part and the other in the top part of the bottle. Two tubes are fastened inside the bottle at the point where the vessels are connected, the long end of one of said tubes extending into the top vessel, and the long end of the other tube extending into the bottom vessel, thus providing air pressure on the liquid being decanted. The tubes are fastened at the point where the vessels are connected in such a way that liquid passes between the tubes. The holder with a bottle solves the technical problem of dispensing a liquid from the top or bottom end of a bottle, fixing a bottle in a desired position, and adjusting the dispensing speed.
