Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bottle with increased grip ergonomics and structural efficiency, adapted to contain beverages and particularly but not exclusively still water.
  • bottles for containing beverages, soft drinks and typically water can be manufactured traditionally by using glass or, more advantageously, by using thermoplastic polymeric material; for example, they can be made of PET.
  • These bottles made of thermoplastic polymeric material have several advantages over more conventional glass bottles. These advantages include, for example, reduced fragility and a considerable weight saving. Both advantages lead to significantly easier wholesale and retail transportation and distribution of the product.
  • these bottles made of thermoplastic polymeric material are formed with very thin walls, which are stiffened by periodic ribs. Such ribs are generally obtained by giving the walls of the bottle a curvature and an opposite curvature having relatively tight radii (on the order of one millimeter). This solution allows to obtain the sought stiffening without having to increase in any section of the bottle the thickness of the wall and therefore its weight.
  • Bottles made of thermoplastic polymeric material can be manufactured in the most disparate and characteristic shapes, but it is extremely convenient for them to be producible by means of molding techniques that have a high production rate, such as for example blow-molding technique or the like.
  • molding techniques that have a high production rate, such as for example blow-molding technique or the like.
  • the shapes that are most advantageous, and accordingly are used most commonly do not stray far from the cylindrical shape having a circular cross-section or from the prism-like shape with a square cross-section having rounded edges.
  • Bottles which comprise a grip region in a region comprised between the central section and the neck.
  • Such grip region is generally obtained by reducing the transverse cross-section of such region of the bottle, so as to allow the consumer to easily and safely grip the bottle.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a bottle that allows easy and safe grip on the part of the consumer.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a bottle that is lightweight and at the same time sturdy.
  • Another object of the invention is to allow to provide a bottle highly reliable and having a low cost.
  • a bottle for beverages comprising a grip region, characterized in that said grip region comprises at least two recesses formed in diametrically opposite points of the cross-section of said bottle.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a bottle.
  • the bottle can have a circular or polygonal or other cross-section but preferably has a square cross-section with rounded edges.
  • the walls of the bottle are affected by a plurality of stiffening ribs 7, which can be arranged in any manner but are preferably arranged along lines that are substantially parallel to the bottom of the bottle.
  • the bottle can comprise advantageously a reduction in transverse cross-section that is suitable to form a grip region 2. If it is necessary to stiffen the grip region 2, the reduction in transverse cross-section can be combined with the addition of one or more central reinforcement ribs 3.
  • the grip region 2 in turn comprises, at least in two diametrically opposite points, two recesses 4, which can have a circular, elliptical, polygonal or any other shape suitable to accommodate the fingers.
  • two recesses 4 can be arranged directly above or below the central reinforcement rib 3, i.e., where the grip region 2 has its best mechanical strength properties. If the recesses are shaped like a semicircle or similar, they can be arranged advantageously in pairs, the recesses of each pair being separated by the same central reinforcement rib 3 and being therefore arranged respectively above and below the central reinforcement rib 3.
  • each recess 4 comprises a surface 5, which can be concave or preferably flat but must in any case offer a comfortable resting area for the fingers of the consumer.
  • the flat surface 5 is enclosed and delimited by lateral buttresses 6.
  • the lateral buttresses 6 perform several functions. First of all, they offer lateral support for the fingers of the consumer and this makes the grip safer, fully preventing the bottle from slipping even if it is wet. Secondly, the buttresses act in the same manner as the stiffening ribs 7 and thus make the entire grip region 2 more rigid.
