A support structure for bicycle bottles includes a three-dimensional supporting cage frame (2) and anchoring structure (6, 7) for securing to a bicycle frame. The supporting structure (2) has a rear post (3) with two arms (4, 5) extending from its upper end, the arms being substantially symmetrical
A support structure for bicycle bottles includes a three-dimensional supporting cage frame (2) and anchoring structure (6, 7) for securing to a bicycle frame. The supporting structure (2) has a rear post (3) with two arms (4, 5) extending from its upper end, the arms being substantially symmetrical and diverging from each other. The arms (4, 5) are at least partially bent upwardly, forwardly and downwardly in order to embrace the lateral wall of a bottle (B), the lower end portions (8, 9) of the arms converge and are connected to each other to form a lower appendix (10) directed towards the post (3) that is suitable to support the bottom wall of the bottle (B). The arms (4, 5) and the post (3) are positioned over a substantially cylindrical surface whose inner diameter (D) is slightly larger than the outer diameter (Ø) of the bottle (B). The maximum span (d) between the inner edges of the converging lower ends (8, 9) of the arms is smaller than or equal to the half of the inner diameter (D) at a distance (h) from the appendix (10) that is substantially equal to the inner diameter (D). The support structure exhibits a reduced weight, an improved drag efficiency, a larger file of the bicycle bottle.

1. A support structure for bicycle bottles, comprising a unitary supporting three dimensional cage frame, anchoring means for attachment thereof to a bicycle frame, said supporting frame comprising a rear anchoring post, said rear anchoring post having an upper end and a lower end, said rear anchoring post extending exclusively and continuously between said upper end thereof and said lower end thereof in a direction which is parallel to a longitudinal axis of said supporting frame extending upwardly and downwardly, said supporting frame further comprising two substantially symmetrical and diverging arms which each extend from said upper end of said rear anchoring post so as to embrace the lateral wall of a bottle, said arms having lower ends converging and being reciprocally joined so as to form a lower appendix directed towards said post and adapted to support the bottom wall of the bottle said arms and said post being located along a substantially cylindrical surface having an inner diameter that is slightly larger than the diameter of the bottle to be supported, said arms each comprising a first portion extending upwardly and forwardly from said upper end of said rear anchoring post, said first portion having a first end which is monolithically formed with said upper end of said rear anchoring post, and said first portion having a second end, said first portion extending exclusively and continuously from said first end thereof to said second end thereof, said first portion extending upwardly and forwardly from said first end thereof to said second end thereof, and said arms each comprising a second portion extending downwardly and forwardly from said first portion, said second portion having an upper end which is monolithically formed with said second end of said first portion, and said second portion having said lower end of said arms, said second portion extending exclusively and continuously from said upper end thereof to said lower end thereof, said second portion extending downwardly and forwardly from said upper end thereof to said lower end thereof at which said lower apex is monolithically formed.2. A support structure for bicycle bottles, comprising a urinary supporting three dimensional cage frame, anchoring means for attachment thereof to a bicycle frame, said supporting frame comprising a rear anchoring post with an upper end from which two substantially symmetrical and diverting arms extend so as to embrace the lateral wall of a bottle, the lower ends of said arms converging and being reciprocally joined so as to form a lower appendix directed towards said post and adapted to support the bottom of the bottle, said arms and said post being located along a substantially cylindrical surface having an inner diameter that is slightly larger than the diameter of the bottle to be supported, said arms comprising a first portion directed upwardly and forwardly from said upper end of said rear anchoring post, and a second portion directed downwardly and forwardly from said first portion, said lower converging ends having inside edges and a span between the inside edges of said lower converging ends, said span having, at a distance from said appendix that is substantially equal to said inner diameter, a maximum value which is smaller than or equal to one half of said inner diameter.3. Support structure according to claim 1, wherein said inner diameter has a predetermined size ranging between 40 mm and 50 mm and preferably equal to approximately 45 mm so as to be smaller than those or traditional bicycle support structures and to reduce the transversal encumbrance or the supporting frame.4. Support structure according to claim 1, wherein said arms and said post are unitarily formed and in that they have a substantially plate configuration with plane cross-section so as to define a monolithic supporting frame.5. Support structure according to claim 1, wherein said supporting frame is formed starting from a metal plate or from a plastic sheet.6. Support for bottle according to claim 1, wherein said supporting frame is provided with one or more lightening holes peripherally located along said arms.7. Support structure according to claim 1, wherein said supporting frame is provided with means for gripping the bottle located along said arms.8. Support structure according to claim 7, wherein said gripping means comprise at least a resilient pad.9. Support structure according to claim 8, wherein said gripping means comprise at least one of a plate and a shell made of a relatively rigid material that houses internally thereof a pad made of a resiliently flexible material.10. Support structure according to claim 8, wherein said resiliently flexible pad comprises a rigid spherical member held in place by a boss made of a resiliently flexible material.11. Support structure according to claim 8, wherein said resiliently flexible material is chosen in the group comprising gels, rubbers, or plastic materials.12. Support structure according to claim 7, wherein said gripping means comprises at least a pad of rubber or plastic material located along said post.13. Support structure according to claim 11, wherein said gripping means further comprises at least one rubber or plastics lips fitted onto the upper edges of said arms to further hold the bottle upon location thereof into said supporting frame.
