Abstract

A stopper holder device for bottles is provided that includes a base-part associated with a bottle neck, a latch articulated in the base-part respect to which can swing, and a bracket which supports the stopper and which is articulated at the latch. The base-part includes an elastically deformable portion with means to release the elastically deformable portion from the bottle neck when causing an elastic deformation on the deformable portion, or to embrace the portion to the neck of the bottle when not causing the elastic deformation, so that the same stopper can be used in different bottles. The base-part also includes first structures, where the latch is articulated, and slots for housing wings of the bracket when the bottle is closed. The bracket includes second structures to which the latch is swingly attached. The latch includes third structures cooperating with the first structures and fourth structures cooperating with the second structures.

Dependent claims

A stopper holder device for a container comprising:

a base-part having an elastically deformable portion configured to engage with and disengage with container necks of different sizes and shapes, the elastically deformable portion bounding an area that increases when the elastically deformable portion is deformed;
a first force applicator coupled to a first side of the elastically deformable portion and a second force applicator coupled to a second side of the elastically deformable portion, the first and second force applicators and elastically deformable portion being configured such that when the first and second force applicators are moved towards one another, the area increases, the first and second force applicators and elastically deformable portion being configured such that when the first and second force applicators are thereafter moved away from each other, the area decreases;
a latch pivotably coupled to the base-part;
and
a bracket configured to support a stopper, the bracket pivotably couple to the latch and including first and second wings;
the base-part including first and second slots respectively located on the first and second sides of the elastically deformable portion that are respectively configured to receive a portion of the first and second wings of the bracket.
