  • Still a further feature of the present invention resides in that an additional insert member is located between said additional element and said hollow container body and provided with a message.
  • Still a further feature of the present invention resides in that the member has two opposite sides visible through said additional element which is substantially transparent from one side and through a wall of said hollow container part which is substantially transparent from the opposite side and is provided with visual images on both said sides.
  • Still a further feature of the present invention resides in that the additional element has one portion with a message on one side and another portion provided with another message at another side to be visible from outside through a substantially transparent wall of the container body.
  • When the container for beverages is designed in accordance with the present invention, the removable additional element provides an easy and simple way of attachment to hollow container body for many purposes.
  • The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the present invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is a view showing a container for beverages in accordance with the present invention in a vertical position;
  • FIG. 2 is a view showing a cross-section of a container for beverages in accordance with the present invention showing a container hollow body, an additional element, and a member located between the container hollow body and the additional element;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the additional element;
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are views showing two opposite sides of a member insertable between the additional element and the container hollow part;
  • FIG. 6 is a view showing another embodiment of an additional element of the container for beverages in accordance with the present invention;
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 are views showing two opposite sides of the additional element of the container for beverages in accordance with the present invention; and
  • FIG. 9 is a view showing a cross-section of a part of a wall of the hollow container body and of the additional container element.
    •  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • A container for beverages in accordance with the present invention has a hollow container body which is identified with reference numeral 1 and is configured for containing a beverage. It can be formed for example as a bottle for beverages.
  • The hollow container body 1 has a recess provided in its wall and extending from its outer surface radially inwardly as identified with reference numeral 2, for the purpose which will be explained herein below.
  • The container for beverages in accordance with the present invention has an additional springy element which is identified with reference numeral 3. The additional element is held on the container body 1 by a springy action. In other words, when the additional element is pushed onto the body 1 with some force, it slightly expands and is held on the body because of its springy property.
  • The additional element 3 has a shape which is substantially congruent with the shape of the recess 2. In other words, it can extend over a periphery of the hollow container body over substantially the same circumferential length as the recess.
  • It also can have a thickness in a radial direction substantially corresponding to the depth of the recess 2 so as to be fully inserted into the recess 2, and the outer surface of the additional element 3 could be a continuation of an outer surface of a remaining part of the hollow container part 1. However, it is of course possible that the outer surface of the additional element 3 extends radially inwardly farther than the outer surface of the wall of the hollow container body 1, or to the contrary farther radially outwardly beyond the outer surface of the hollow container body 1.
  • As shown in FIG. 2, the recess 2 and the additional element 3 extend over a circumference with an angle over 1800 and therefore the additional element 3 is held in the recess 2 and is not lost from the hollow container part 1.
  • As shown in FIG. 2, the ends of the groove 10 can be provided with small local depressions 4 while the ends of the additional element 3 can be provided with corresponding projections insertable in the depressions 5, so as to more securely hold the additional element 3 on the hollow container body 1. The cross-sectional shape of the depressions and the projections 5 can be selected so that the projections 5 can be press-fitted into the depressions 5 to increase the security of holding of the additional element 3 on the hollow container body 1.
  • On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, the vertical dimension along an axis of the hollow container body of the recess 2 and the vertical dimension of the additional element 3 can be selected so that the additional element 3 can be press fitted into the recess 2 and held it by spring forces.
  • In the container for beverages in accordance with another embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the recess is formed by a local depression or depressions 6 and not as a circumferentially extending recess as in FIG. 2, and the additional element is provided with local projection or projections 7 which are also press-fitted in to the depressions 6, so that the additional element 3 can be securely held on the hollow container body.
  • The additional element 3 can be substantially transparent, for example translucent, completely or partially. It can be also colored, completely or partially.
  • In accordance with the present invention, the container for beverages has a member 8 which is insertable between the additional element 3 and the hollow container body 1. The additional member can be composed of many materials, for example of paper, cardboard, plastic, etc. As for the additional element 3, it can be composed for example of plastic or another material.
  • The member 8 has two sides each provided with a corresponding message. When the member 8 is inserted between the additional element 3 and the hollow container part, the message on one side of the member 8 is visible through the transparent additional element 3, while the message on the opposite side of the member 8 is visible through a transparent wall of the hollow container part.
  • In accordance with another feature of the present invention, the messages can be provided on opposite sides of the additional container element 3 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. In accordance with another embodiment, as shown in these figures the messages can occupy only portions of the additional container element which are spaced from one another. For example as shown in FIG. 7 one side of the additional element 3 is provided with the message on its upper portion, while the other opposite side of the additional container element is provided with a message on its lower portion. The message of one side is visible from outside, while the message on the other side can be visible through a transparent wall of the hollow container part.
  • The messages on the additional element 3 or on the member 8 can be for example personal messages related to an anniversary, a birth, a holiday, a congratulation, etc. The messages can be specific to the beverages which can be accommodated inside the container and can have the names of specific beverages. The messages can include advertising and promotional material, to adverte certain events, personalities, etc. The message can be personified messages, in particular identifying a person to who the container for beverages belongs.
  • While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodied in a container for beverages, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
  • It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together, may also find a useful application in other types of constructions differing from the type described above.
  • Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can, be applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention.
