Patent Abstract:
The bottle holder is designed for a PET bottle that is awkward to incline in order to pour its content (non-alcoholic beverages or mineral water) because the bottle lies awkwardly in one&#39;s hand(s). The top part of the holder is fastened to the bottleneck, and the lower part clasps the bottle at approximately two thirds to one half of the bottle&#39;s height. The fastening part features a device that prevents the bottle&#39;s axial movement prior to a radial movement of the holder in relation to the bottle.

Full Description:
DESCRIPTION 
     The problem with PET bottles, normally used for non-alcoholic beverages and mineral water, occurs when you try to pour the liquid they contain, particularly in 1-1 i.e. 2-1 bottles, because the bottle lies awkwardly in your hand. This is particularly annoying when you first pour liquid from the bottle, because with a minimum bottle inclination there is a sudden burst of liquid while the bottle is the heaviest. Besides this, the bottle tends to slip because it gets bedewed when cooled. PET bottles are typically manufactured by blowing and have very smooth walls. Bedewing makes a rather heavy bottle very slippery. The problem could be solved by a different bottle design with recesses and protrusions, which means more complicated manufacturing and consequently more expensive bottle. Besides, bottles with concave or convex surfaces are usually form-protected and cannot be manufactured without the approval of the form owner. 
     In order to avoid the above shortcomings, a bottle holder can be fitted to the bottle in that it is fastened to the bottleneck and clasps the bottle at approximately two thirds to one half of its height. By taking the holder&#39;s grip, the bottle can be easily lifted and inclined without direct contact with the bottle, and it can be carried and poured from safely.

     Top part of a normal bottle ( 1 ) ends with transition to bottleneck, so that below the ring ( 2 ) there is a narrow part of the bottleneck ( 3 ). Above the ring ( 2 ) begins the part with thread and cap ( 4 ) designed to meet the technological and structure requirements. 
     The bottle holder consists of a clamp ( 5 ) clasping the bottle ( 1 ) at two thirds to one half from the bottom. The clamp ( 5 ) is slightly larger than the diameter of the bottle ( 1 ), and is made of a flat strip. Approximately one fourth to one third of the length of the clamp ( 5 ) opposite from the grip ( 6 ) features reinforcement ( 7 ) on the upper or lower side of the clamp. The reinforcement ( 7 ) serves to enlarge the bottle supporting surface ( 5 ). On the outside, the reinforcement ( 7 ) may carry a commercial or a label of the bottling company. On the opposite side from the reinforcement ( 7 ), the clamp ceases to follow the form of the bottle ( 1 ) and reaches the grip ( 6 ) so that the grip ( 6 ) is at such distance from the bottle ( 1 ) as to enable fingers to pass through between the grip ( 6 ) and the bottle ( 1 ). The grip ( 6 ) and the clamp ( 5 ) can be connected either separably or inseparably. If inseparable, there may be the possibility of turning the grip ( 6 ) around in relation to the clamp ( 5 ). This can be practical for the transport of bottle holders from the manufacturer to their actual fitting on a bottle. 
     The grip ( 6 ) is flat, with a possibility of slight rounding to better lie in a hand, and reaches up to an arch ( 8 ), which can be round, to a broadening ( 9 ). The broadening ( 9 ) is vertical to the line of symmetry of the bottle ( 1 ). The broadening features an opening ( 10 ) of the size of the bottleneck ( 3 ), so that it tightly fits around it. On the opposite side from the grip ( 6 ), the opening ( 10 ) is round and on the other side it turns into an even larger opening ( 11 ) of the size slightly larger than the ring ( 2 ), so that it can easily slip over it axially. Opening ( 10 ) and opening ( 11 ) are connected by a gauge ( 12 ) with such width that it only allows for a passage of the bottleneck ( 3 ) from opening ( 11 ) to opening ( 10 ) after overcoming some resistance. In taking the bottle holder off a bottle ( 1 ), it is again necessary to overcome this resistance when the bottleneck ( 3 ) passes over the gauge ( 12 ) in inclining a bottle to pour its content, the bottleneck ( 3 ) is in opening ( 10 ) and does not pass through the gauge ( 12 ) into opening ( 11 ). 
     The clamp can also be ellipsoidal. The ellipsoidal form of the clamp would provide more contact surface, which would provide for a better grip on the bottle and receiving bottles of differing diameter. 
     The clamp can also be made with an elastic rounded plate ( 15 ) shown in FIG. 3, located on the inside of the clamp and directed towards the reinforcement ( 7 ). The rounded form and the elasticity of the plate ( 15 ) provides for receiving bottles of differing diameters and better grip on the bottle. 
     For a separable and inseparable connection between the clamp ( 5 ) and the grip ( 6 ) there is a protrusion on the clamp, as well as the cutout section or the hole on the grip. The clamp ( 6 ) protrusion is on the rectangular part. The protrusion consists of the neck ( 14 ) and the button ( 13 ). The neck ( 14 ) may be in the form of a cylinder or rectangular (right parallelepiped), while the button ( 13 ) is in the form of a cylinder. It is important to note that the diameter of the button must be larger than the diagonal of the rectangular parallelepiped base or the diameter of the cylinder (depending on the version of the neck ( 14 ). The grip, as shown in FIG. 6, features separable connection with the clamp that has a protrusion in the cylinder-cylinder form. The grip in FIG. 6 has a cut-out section ( 16 ) in the lower part, and it is defined by the form that changes from lozenge to circle, and the diameter of the round part is smaller than the diameter of the button ( 13 ). By applying hand force, the grip is pressed onto the cylindrical neck of the clamp protrusion. 
     The grip shown in FIG. 7 has a hole ( 17 ) on the lower part that with its form provides a separable connection between the grip ( 6 ) and the clamp ( 5 ), being defined by a rectangular lower section with its width (“x”) equalling the width (“x”) of the rectangular ( 14 ), the upper section in the form of a circle with its diameter larger than the diameter of the button ( 13 ), and the round and rectangular part being connected by a neck whose width (“y”) equals the height (“y”) of the neck rectangular ( 14 ). Equal value of the width and height provide for the separability of the clamp ( 5 ) and the grip ( 6 ). The grip in FIG. 8 has a hole ( 18 ) that with its form provides an inseparable connection between the grip ( 6 ) and the clamp ( 5 ), being defined by a rectangular lower section with its width (“x”) equalling the width (“x”) of the rectangular ( 14 ), the upper section in the form of a circle with its diameter larger than the diameter of the button ( 13 ), and the lozenge narrowing between the round and rectangular par whose width (“y”) is smaller than the height (“y”) of the neck rectangular ( 14 ). Smaller width than height requires the application of hand force to assemble and provides inseparable connection between the clamp ( 5 ) and the grip ( 6 ). 
     The size of the clamp ( 5 ) in relation to the bottle ( 1 ) is such as to make it possible to turn the clamp ( 5 ) and grip ( 6 ) with the broadening ( 9 ) around from the position of the bottleneck ( 3 ) in opening ( 11 ) to opening ( 10 ) and vice versa.
