Coca-Cola Bottle Thread size

boYce · 6 Mar 2007 at 23:32

bit of a weird one this but ive been searching for hours and come up with nothing so need some help. im doing a design project at uni to make a small injection moulded widget, that can be given away as a promotion. im designing a compact camera tripod that screws onto the top of a standard 500ml coke bottle, can rorate up and down and uses the weight of the bottle + liquid to support it.

What i need is either a propper engineering drawing of a current coke bottle, or exact dimensions on the diameters, thread size, pitch, angle and No. turns.

Not a very interesting thread but i guess many hands make light work, and im totally stuck on this one.

Thanks

Nope, not very intersting at all

Why don't you just get a bottle and measure it?

Quite an awkward thing to measure though!

I assume anyone who was able to CAM to that detail could measure it

thats the next best thing if i can't locate the exact dimensions, but yea its a very hard thing to measure and i can't get hold of a micrometer for a few days.
