Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holder for detachably connecting a bottle comprising a cap and a reduced diameter portion located below said cap to a support, which holder comprises a means of attachment for attaching the holder to the support, as well as two openings which are interconnected via a passage.
  • a first opening which is located near the means of attachment, is larger than a second opening, which is spaced from the means of attachment. Moreover, after the means of attachment has been attached to the support, the first, larger opening is positioned higher than the second, smaller opening.
  • the cap of the bottle is passed through the first, larger opening in upward direction, after which the bottle is moved in a direction away from the support, so that the reduced diameter portion below the cap will be positioned in the second, smaller opening. In this position, the bottle is only supported by the walls of the holder that bound the second, smaller opening.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a holder by means of which an improved support of the bottle is obtained.
  • the holder is made of an elastically deformable material, whilst the first opening, which is spaced from the means of attachment, is larger than the second opening, which is located near the means of attachment.
  • the cap is inserted through the first opening, which is spaced from the means of attachment, after which the cap is moved in the direction of the means of attachment and the reduced diameter portion is inserted into the second opening.
  • the bottle is suspended from the walls of the second opening by the cap under the influence of the force of gravity in that position. Since the walls of the holder are elastically deformable, said walls will firmly engage the bottle.
  • One embodiment of the holder according to the invention is characterised in that, in use, the second opening surrounds the reduced diameter portion located below the cap, whilst a wall of the holder bounding the first opening abuts against the bottle at a point spaced from the cap.
  • Another embodiment of the holder according to the invention is characterised in that the holder is made of a flat strip.
  • Such a holder is easy to produce, for example by punching it from an elastically deformable plastic.
  • such holders are comparatively easy to store.
  • Yet another embodiment of the holder according to the invention is characterised in that the passage interconnecting the openings comprises a relatively narrow gap, whilst the walls of the holder that bound said gap are elastically deformable in use and the gap can be widened to allow the passage of at least the reduced diameter portion of the bottle from the first opening to the second opening.
  • the gap is widened when the bottle is being connected to the holder, the walls of the holder that bound the gap will abut against the bottle as well, thus providing additional support for the bottle.
  • the bottle is thus retained in the second opening in a simple manner, so that the bottle is prevented from moving out of the opening undesirably.
  • Yet another embodiment of the holder according to the invention is characterised in that the holder comprises a wide portion and a narrow portion, whilst the means of attachment comprises a slot present in the wide portion, through which the narrow portion comprising the openings can be passed.
  • the holder When such a holder is being attached to a support, the holder is passed around the support, after which the narrow portion is passed through the slot present in the wide portion, with the holder extending round the support in a loop-shaped manner.
  • Yet another embodiment of the holder according to the invention is characterised in that the narrow portion is provided with hook-shaped elements, which engage the walls of the holder that bound the slot when the holder is attached to the support in use.
  • Yet another embodiment of the holder according to the invention is characterised in that the holder is provided with a lip on a side of the first opening remote from the second opening.
  • Such a lip enables a user to grasp the holder firmly both upon connecting the bottle to the holder and upon removing the bottle from the holder.
  • Yet another embodiment of the holder according to the invention is characterised in that the holder comprises a detachable part, which is provided with instructions for use.
  • the instructions for use of the holder are integrated with the holder, and the user can remove said instructions after having read them, if desired. In this way there is no need to add separate instructions for use to the holder. Since the instructions for use are provided on a detachable part, the instructions for use can be removed by a user, so that they will not adversely affect or interfere with the appearance of the holder.
  • Figure 1 shows a top plan view of a holder 1 according to the invention, which is made of a relatively thin, flat strip of an elastically deformable material, such as a plastic.
  • the holder 1 comprises a relatively wide portion 2, which is provided with a slot 3 that extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the holder 1.
  • the holder 1 further comprises a relatively narrow portion 4 that connects to said wide portion, which has a width smaller than the length of the slot 3.
  • the narrow portion 4 is provided with two openings 5, 6, which are interconnected via a slot 7.
  • the first opening 5 has a squarish shape with a dimension D1.
  • the second opening 6 is substantially circular in shape, with a pointed projection 8 extending in the direction of the gap 7.
  • the opening 6 has a dimension D2.
  • the dimension D2 of the second opening 6 is smaller than the dimension D1 of the first opening 5.
  • the second opening 6 is located closer to the slot 3 than the first opening 5.
  • the holder 1 On a side of the first opening 5 remote from the second opening 6, the holder 1 is provided with a lip 9. Near the wide portion 2, the narrow portion 4 is provided with two hook-shaped elements 10.
  • the wide portion 2 comprises a removable part 11, which is connected to the rest of the wide portion 2 via a tear line 12.
  • the removable part 11 is provided with instructions for attaching the holder 1 to a support and connecting a bottle to the holder 1, which instructions can be removed after attachment of the holder, if desired.
  • Figure 2 shows a bottle 21 having a capacity of, for example, 500 ml.
  • a bottle 21 is usually provided with a reduced diameter portion 22 forming a neck of the bottle 21, which joins a flange 24 connected to the bottle 21 or which is provided with a cap 23 comprising such a flange 24.
  • the flange 24 has a diameter D3, which is smaller than the dimension D1 of the first opening 5, but which is larger than the dimension D2 of the second opening 6.
  • Figures 3 and 4 are perspective views, showing the manner in which the holder 1 is attached to a support 31.
  • the support 31 is for example a horizontally extending rod of a stroller.
  • the circumferential dimension of the rod is smaller than the spacing between the two hook-shaped elements 10 and the slot 3 of the holder 1.
  • the holder 1 is passed around the support 31, after which the lip 9 is passed through the slot 3. Then the narrow portion 4 is moved through the slot 3 in the direction indicated by the arrow P1 until the hook-shaped elements 10 are in engagement with the walls 13 of the holder 1 located on either side of the slot 3. The holder 1 is firmly connected to the support 31 at that point.
  • the second opening 6 is located closer to the point of attachment of the holder 1 to the support 31. Moreover, the second opening 6 is positioned above the first opening 5, seen in vertical direction.
  • Figures 5 and 6 are perspective views, showing the manner in which the bottle 21 is connected to the holder 1.
  • a user will grasp the bottle 21 with a hand 31.
  • the user will then grasp the lip 9 with a second hand 32.
  • the user will insert the cap 23 through the first, larger opening 5 from the bottom side, after which the user will move the bottle 21 in the direction indicated by the arrow P2 towards the second, smaller opening 6 against the spring force of the elastically deformable material of the holder 1.
  • the user When a user wishes to remove the bottle 21 from the holder 1, the user will grasp the lip 1 and move the bottle 21 against the spring force of the elastically deformable material in the opposite direction of the arrow P2 until the reduced diameter portion 21 is positioned in the first, larger opening 5. The cap 23 can then be moved out of the opening 5.
  • the holder 1 made of the elastically deformable material can simply be attached to any support, providing the spacing between the hook-shaped elements 10 and the slot 3 is larger than the circumferential dimension of the support 31.
  • the opening 5 may also be circular in shape.
