- the label 2 can be used for another type of beverage container.
- the bag 2 covers the bottle 1 in order to achieve thermal insulation.
- the recesses 12 in the bottle create air cushions between the bottle 1 and bag 2 , which further improve the thermal insulation.
- the bag is so devised as to achieve a tight adherence to a bottle; as the bottle has recesses on its surface, air is trapped between each recess and the bag surface, such that there is no air passage between the separate recesses. This improves the thermal insulation.
- An optional transparent window 22 in the bag 2 is useful to check the level of the liquid in the bottle 1 , especially in case the bag 2 is not transparent (in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may be printed with advertisements or various announcements and information, etc.).
- Ataching means 23 on the bag 2 hold the bag attached to the bottle 1 .
- FIG. 2 details a folded label 2 attached to a bottle 1 with a glued surface 24 (glue is applied to the side of the label facing the bottle).
- the glue on the label 2 serves to hold the end of the label as shown, so that the label 2 surrounds the bottle and is kept in place in that state.

- the width 31 (H 2 ) of the label 2 is an important parameter; according to the present invention, its value should be equal to, or larger than, a value corresponding to the circumference of the bottle 1 whose radius is R:
- pi is the constant 3.14159 . . .
- H 2 is slightly larger than the above value, the bottle 1 can be inserted into the unfolded label 2 ; in another embodiment, H 2 can be still larger, to form an air volume between the bottle 1 and bag 2 .
- Benefits include, among others:
- the folded label 2 covers just a small part of the bottle 1 area, thus there is no considerable thermal insulation.
- the bottle may be placed in a refrigerator or freezer for efficient, fast cooling.
- the label may be imprinted with advertisements, information, etc. as desired.
- Prior art labels may be used for ads, but their area is small; the bag in the present invention, when unfolded to envelop the bottle, has a much larger area, thus increasing the area available for ads.
- the product out of the manufacturing line is a filled bottle with a label attached thereto, just in prior art.
- the product is easy to handle, package, transport and store-just like in prior art. No drastic changes are required.

Abstract
A foldable bag for insulating a bottle or other beverage container comprises means for attaching the bag in its folded state wherein the bag can serve as a label on the outside of the bottle, and means for attaching the bag to the bottle in its unfolded state wherein the bag envelops the bottle to provide thermal insulation. A method for attaching a folded label to a bottle comprises: attaching a first side of the label to the bottle using a glue; wrapping the label around the bottle; attaching a second side of the label to the surface of the label using glue, in such a way that the label becomes attached to the bottle and the second side covers the side opening at the first side of the label.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a foldable bag for thermal insulation of a a bottle or another beverage container.
- 2. Description of Related Art Including Information
- In summer or in places of hot weather, it is desirable to keep drinks cool. A dinner or another event may take some time, and a cool bottle may heat up.
- Furthermore, condensation causes water drops on the outer surface of the bottle, which may collate to a liquid spill on the table.
- In prior art, there are bags for enveloping bottles, to achieve thermal insulation. These bags are inconvenient to the user, as they have to be stored separately from the bottle. Various sizes of bottles may not be suitable for any bags.
- It may be difficult to attach the bag to the bottle, so the bag keeps in place to cool the bottle while the bottle is in use and may be moved about.
- If the bag becomes separated from the bottle and drifts away, it may create pollution.
- There is also the problem of preparing labels for efficient attachment to bottles in a mass production environment.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, a foldable label is attached to a bottle in production, so the bottle with its label are sold together, as one unit.
- When the user desires to achieve thermal insulation of the bottle, the label is removed from the bottle and unfolded, to become a bag. The bag can be used to envelope the bottle. Specially devised means on the label/bag allow for efficient and easy attaching to the bottle.
- When folded, the label covers just a small part of the bottle area. Thus, the bottle can be efficiently cooled in a refrigerator or freezer.
- Further purposes and benefits of the current invention will become apparent upon reading the present disclosure and the related drawings.

-
FIG. 1 illustrates abottle 1 withunfolded label 2, used for thermal insulation of thebottle 1. Thelabel 2 can be used for another type of beverage container. - The
bag 2 covers thebottle 1 in order to achieve thermal insulation. Therecesses 12 in the bottle create air cushions between thebottle 1 andbag 2, which further improve the thermal insulation. - In a preferred embodient, the bag is so devised as to achieve a tight adherence to a bottle; as the bottle has recesses on its surface, air is trapped between each recess and the bag surface, such that there is no air passage between the separate recesses. This improves the thermal insulation.
- An optional
transparent window 22 in thebag 2 is useful to check the level of the liquid in thebottle 1, especially in case thebag 2 is not transparent (in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may be printed with advertisements or various announcements and information, etc.). Ataching means 23 on thebag 2 hold the bag attached to thebottle 1. -
FIG. 2 details a foldedlabel 2 attached to abottle 1 with a glued surface 24 (glue is applied to the side of the label facing the bottle). The glue on thelabel 2 serves to hold the end of the label as shown, so that thelabel 2 surrounds the bottle and is kept in place in that state. - In a preferred embodiment, a relatively weak glue is used, which allows removal of the label by the user by applying a reasonable pulling force.
- The glue is so devised, that it allows several cycles of attachment/detachment of the label from the bottle.
- A
free tongue 25 is formed by a part protruding to one side as shown, and there is no glue attached to it; thuspart 25 is free and can be easily pulled by the user, to pull open the label by pulling thesurface 24 away from thebottle 1. - The width 31 (H2) of the
label 2 is an important parameter; according to the present invention, its value should be equal to, or larger than, a value corresponding to the circumference of thebottle 1 whose radius is R: -
H2>=pi*R/2 - where pi is the constant 3.14159 . . .
- The present inventor found that, if H2 is slightly larger than the above value, the
bottle 1 can be inserted into theunfolded label 2; in another embodiment, H2 can be still larger, to form an air volume between thebottle 1 andbag 2. - Benefits include, among others:
- a. The folded
label 2 covers just a small part of thebottle 1 area, thus there is no considerable thermal insulation. The bottle may be placed in a refrigerator or freezer for efficient, fast cooling. - b. The label may be imprinted with advertisements, information, etc. as desired. Prior art labels may be used for ads, but their area is small; the bag in the present invention, when unfolded to envelop the bottle, has a much larger area, thus increasing the area available for ads.
- c. In prior art, there are created water drops on the surface of a cold bottle or can, as a results of condensation of water vapors in the air; this may result in a puddle of water on the table. This effect is reduced or eliminated with the present invention, when the bottle is enveloped with the plastic bag.
- d. In prior art, users could carry bags or insulating means, separately. This is inconvenient in use; the present invention, wherein the bottle comes with the bag already built in, is much more convenient to users.
- e. Low impact on the end product—the product out of the manufacturing line is a filled bottle with a label attached thereto, just in prior art. Thus the product is easy to handle, package, transport and store-just like in prior art. No drastic changes are required.
- On the other, hand, the user benefits from a detachable label which can be used to thermally insulate a cold or hot bottle.
- f. Existing means for thermal insulation can be used with the new bottle with label, if the user so desires.
-
FIG. 3 details the folded label detached from the bottle. This is thelabel 2, after being removed from thebottle 1 inFIG. 2 , viewed from the side of the surface closer to the bottle. There is a first gluedsurface 26, which is used to attach one end of thelabel 2 to thebottle 1; and a second gluedsurface 24, used to attach the other end oflabel 2 to itself, to keep it wrapped around thebottle 1. - Also shown are the dimensions:
width 31 of the label, andwidth 32 of the gluedpart 24 and thetongue 25;tongue 25 has no glue thereon. -
FIG. 4 details thedetached label 2 unfolded; inFIG. 3 it was folded along foldingline 27, and was opened by unfolding as perarrows 34. - The
dimension 33 is such, that it generally equals the circumference ofbottle 1, to allow wrapping thelabel 2 around thebottle 1 as shown inFIGS. 1 , 2. Actually, thedimension 33minus dimension 32 should generally equal the bottle circumference, so that the gluedpart 24 attaches to thelabel 2 after thelabel 2 completely surrounds thebottle 1. - There is an
opening 28 inlabel 2, on the right side of the drawing as shown; all the other three sides of thelabel 2 are closed. -
FIG. 5 details thedetached label 2, opened to receive a bottle therein. - The
label 2 has anopening 28 on its upper side, as shown; the other sides are closed. Further on the upper side of thelabel 2 are the glued surface 24 (with the glued surface on the side away from the viewer, that is the inner side of the label), andtongue 25. -
FIG. 6 details the openedlabel 2 enveloping thebottle 1. - In a preferred embodiment, the dimensions of
label 2 are such as the length of theopen label 2 extends upwards up to the taperingbottleneck 14 as shown in the figure. The glued surface 24 (with glue on the side pointing toward the bottle) attaches to thebottle 1 so as to hold thelabel 2, now shaped as a bag, upright and enveloping thebottle 1. - In a preferred embodiment, there is a
folding line 29 extending downwards, to allow folding thebag 2 as shown while attaching the gluedsurface 24 to thebottle 1. This structure offers the benefit, among others, that thebag 2 is narrower on its upper side, to better insulate the beverage in thebottle 1. Thetongue 25 remains free and unglued, thus facilitating removal of the label -
Method 1 for attaching a folded label to a bottle - a. The
label 2 shown inFIG. 4 is folded along foldingline 27, in the opposite direction ofarrows 34. The resulting, folded label is shown inFIG. 3 - b. The
label 2 is so rotated as its length span in a direction normal to the longitudinal axis of abottle 1, with the gluedpart 26 pointing toward thebottle 1. Thepart 26 is attached to the bottle. -
Part 26 of the label is attached to the bottle in such an orientation, that thefolding line 48 is on the upper side of the bottle (the side closer to the bottlenecking). This prevents dust and dirt falling down from entering into the folded label. - c. The
label 2 is wrapped around thebottle 1, until it wraps the bottle as shown inFIG. 2 . - d. The other glued
end 24 of thelabel 2 is pressed down, so that end is secured to the label, thus holding the label in place. - Thus, the second side of the
label 24 is attached to the surface of the label using glue, such that label becomes attached to the bottle and thesecond side 24 covers the side openings at thefirst side 26 of the label. Thus, the label is closed on its lateral sides, to prevent dust from entering therein. - **End of method**
-
Method 2 for removing a label from a bottle - a. The
free tongue 25 of the label 2 (seeFIG. 2 ) is pulled away from thebottle 1; this causes the gluedsurface 24 to separate from the bottle. - b. The
label 2 is unwrapped away from thebottle 1. - c. The other glued
end 26 of thelabel 2 is pulled away from thebottle 1, thus completely separating thelabel 2 from thebottle 1. - d. The folded label (see
FIG. 3 ) is unfolded along folding line 27 (seeFIG. 4 ) to result in the unfolded label/bag 2 ofFIG. 4 . - e. The
open side 28 of the label 2 (seeFIG. 5 ) is opened, in preparation for inserting the bottle into thelabel 2, with thelabel 2 now shaped like a bag. - **End of method**
- Method 3 for insulating a bottle
- a. The
label 2 is removed from the bottle, unfolded and opened up as perMethod 2 for example. - b. The
bottle 1 is inserted into thebag 2, into the position as inFIG. 1 . - c. The glued
surface 24 is used to secure thebag 2 to the upper part of the bottle 1 (the part ofbottle 1 closer to the bottleneck). - Preferably, the upper part of
bag 2 is folded inside prior to securing it, as shown inFIG. 6 , in order to reduce the opening in the upper side of thebag 2. - **End of method**
-
Method 4 for using the bottle with removable label - a. The
bottle 1, with thelabel 2 in its folded state as shown inFIG. 2 , is placed in a refrigerator or freezer to be cooled down. The label does not insulate the bottle, so the bottle will be cooled fast and efficiently. - b. To use the bottle, i.e. in a picnic, the label is removed from the bottle as per
Method 2, and unfolded into a bag which is attached to a bottle so as to envelop it, as per Method 3 for example. - **End of method**
- Method 5 for preparing a labels sheet or roll
- The method is used to prepare, from an elongated planar sheet, a plurality of labels ready to be attached to bottles or other beverage containers.
- a. See
FIG. 7 which detailsstage 1 of preparing a labels sheet. Anelongated sheet 4 moves for example in thedirection 43 as shown. - In this stage,
parts 45 are cut away from thesheet 4. - Moreover, two
parallel cut lines 46 extend further into the sheet as shown, toward side 41. Afirst folding line 47 is formed on the sheet, separating the sheet into two halves lengthwise. The sheet is folded along thefirst folding line 47, this resulting in the sheet shown inFIG. 8 . - b. See
FIG. 8 which detailsstage 2 of preparing a labels sheet. As thesheet 4 moves in thedirection 43 as shown, asecond folding line 48 is formed along the middle of the sheet, and the sheet is again folded alongline 48 to result in the doubly foldedsleeve 481. - c. The sheet is soldered on an L-shaped soldering area; in another embodiment, these sides of the sheet can be glued together, etc. This forms a bag closed on three sides (the
lower side 47 is the result of a prior folding and it closed too); only theside 489 remains open. - d. See
FIG. 9 which details stage 3 of preparing a labels sheet. - As the
sheet 481 moves in thedirection 43 as shown, there are formed parts betweencut lines 484; these are the separate labels, which will be attached to bottles. Thesheet 481 will be cut into separate labels by cutting it along cutlines 484 during a subsequent stages, as detailed below, see for example Method 6. - e. See
FIG. 10 which details stage 4 of preparing a labels sheet (roll). - The
sheet 4 is collected onto arotating roll 49. - This
roll 49 is ready for use, to supply labels to be attached to bottles. - **End of method**
- Note: On the
sheet 4,parts 481 comprise four layers (as a result of two foldings) whereasparts 483 comprise only one layer, seeFIG. 9 . - Method 6 for attaching a label to a bottle
- a. The roll 49 (see
FIG. 10 ) is rotated in the opposite direction, to pull out labels for use. - The sheet 4 (see
FIG. 9 ) is cut into separate labels, by cutting it along the cut lines 484. A label is formed between every two cutlines 484. - b. Each label is cut away from the folded
sleeve 4. The resulting sleeve was soldered or glued on two sides, so that only one side remains open. - c. A glue is attached to the
surfaces FIG. 3 . This is a weaker glue, which can be separated later without an excessive effort, by the user. - In a preferred embodiment, the glue has medium strength—on the one hand it is strong enough to hold the label attached to the bottle; on the other hand, the whole label can be detached from the bottle, when the user pulls the label using a reasonable force, not too strong so as not to damage the label.
- Furthermore, the glue is so devised that it remains attached to the label when the label is pulled away from the bottle, and the glue can be used to reattach the
areas FIG. 1 . - No glue is applied to the area 25 (see
FIG. 9 ). This part remains free and detached from the bottle; the user can easily take hold of it and use it to pull the label away from the bottle. - d. The label thus resulting is attached to a bottle as detailed in the
Method 1 above. In a preferred embodiment, a label is attached to a bottle in such an orientation, that the folding line 48 (seeFIG. 8 for example) is on the upper side of the bottle (the side closer to the bottleneck). A benefit of this feature is that dust and dirt falling down will not enter into the label itself—the open side of the label points downwards. - **End of method**
- It will be recognized that the foregoing is but one example of an apparatus and method within the scope of the present invention and that various modifications will occur to those skilled in the art upon reading the disclosure set forth hereinbefore.

8. The foldable bag according to claim 1 , further including means for allowing reuse of glue—the same glue used for attaching the folded label to the bottle, is used after unfolding the label into a bag, to attach the bag to the bottle wherein the bag envelops the bottle.
9. The foldable bag according to claim 1 , further including an unglued tongue which facilitates removal of the label/bag from the bottle.
10. The foldable bag according to claim 1 , wherein the label is transparent or has transparent parts to allow checking the level of the liquid in the bottle.
11. The foldable bag according to claim 1 , wherein the label is imprinted so that the printed message becomes visible when the label is unfolded.
12. The foldable bag according to claim 1 , wherein the label is attached to a bottle having a bottleneck which becomes gradually narrower, to help keep the label in place.
13. A method for attaching a folded label to a bottle comprising:
a. attaching a first side of the label to the bottle using a glue;
b. wrapping the label around the bottle
c. attaching a second side of the label to the surface of the label using glue, in such a way that the label becomes attached to the bottle and the second side covers the side opening at the first side of the label.
14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the label is attached to the bottle in such an orientation, that a folding line is on the upper side of the bottle (the side closer to the bottlenecking).
15. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the glue is so devised as to remain attached to the label when the label is removed from the bottle, and wherein the glue further retains its properties to allow more than one cycle of attaching/detaching the label from the bottle.
16. A method for preparing, from an elongated planar sheet, a plurality of labels ready to be attached to bottles or other beverage containers, comprising:
a. as the sheet is moved in a predefined direction, parts preferably of a rectangular shape are cut away therefrom, at fixed predefined intervals along the sheet;
b. a first folding line is formed on the sheet, separating the sheet into two halves lengthwise;
c. the sheet is folded along the first folding line;
d. a second folding line is formed along the middle of the sheet, and the sheet is again folded along line that line to result in a doubly folded sleeve;
e. the sheet is soldered on an L-shaped soldering area.
17. The method according to claim 16 , further including the step of rolling the resulting sheet onto a rotating roll.
18. The method according to claim 16 , further including the step of defining cut lines for future cutting the sheet into separate labels, each label to be attached to a bottle.
19. The method according to claim 16 , wherein, as the sheet is moved in a predefined direction and parts preferably of a rectangular shape are cut away therefrom, also two cut lines are formed which further extend into the sheet.
20. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the resultant sheet comprises alternating parts having four layers (as a result of two foldings) and parts having only one layer.
