AT521513B1 - DEVICE FOR THE QUICK PRODUCTION OF LAYER COCKTAILS - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for filling a plurality of drinking vessels consisting of a distributor (1) with a plurality of glass inlets (2), removable spoon parts (8) being connected at the outer ends of the glass inlets (2) such that the lower edge of the inside of the spoon part (17) to the inside of the glass (14) is so low that the liquid used does not come directly to the glass bottom when it emerges from the supply channel (7), but slowly on the inside of the spoon (17) opposite the end of the supply channel (7) on the inside of the glass (14 ) flows down and thus prevents mixing of different liquids.

Description

DEVICE FOR THE QUICK PRODUCTION OF LAYER COCKTAILS In order to produce layered cocktails, it is necessary to carefully pour the individual ingredients (layers of alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages) over the back of a bar spoon when pouring them into a glass. The layer with the highest density is filled in first. Only this first layer can be filled into the glass normally (directly from the bottle). If the other layers were also poured normally (directly from the bottle), the individual liquids would mix. This would destroy the appearance of the desired cocktail and, depending on the recipe, the taste experience when drinking. The preparation of such a layer of cocktails is very time consuming.

My invention relates to a device to produce six pieces of layer (layer) cocktails at once, without using an additional bar spoon.

The preparation time can thus be reduced to up to 20%. The preparation is easy to perform even for inexperienced people, since all layers can be poured directly from the bottle into the device without the individual layers (liquids) mixing together. The device is suitable for private as well as commercial use.

There are various "liquor distributors on the Internet. e.g .: https://www.schnapskrake.de/ or http://schnapsquelle.com/ [0005] The disadvantage of these devices is that the liquid runs directly into the glass through the normal outlet opening. Production of layer cocktails such as one of the best known, the B52 (1st layer coffee liqueur, 2nd layer cream liqueur, 3rd layer rum) is not possible.

From the patent DE102006013744 (A1) an apparatus for producing layered cocktails is known. The disadvantage of this device, which, in a simplified manner, relates to the use of funnels or syringes, is the risk of mixing the individual layers after manufacture, when the device is removed.

From the patent DE202014103117 (U1) an aid for the preparation of layer cocktails is known. The disadvantage of this aid is that the use of an additional portioner, which is mounted on the bottle, is required. These scoops are rarely found in private surroundings.

With my device, it is possible to pour 6 pieces of cocktails by pouring straight out of the bottle. The bar spoon used for conventional production is replaced by a removable spoon part, which is mounted on all ends of the outlet openings by means of a tongue and groove connection.

In a further embodiment, it is possible to carry out the removable spoon part at the end of the glass feeder with a joint.

In a further embodiment, it is possible to reduce or increase the number of glass feeders, the arrangement having to be carried out symmetrically. This reduces or increases the number of beverages to be produced at the same time.

The removable or articulated spoon part is necessary for thorough cleaning.

In order to enable thorough cleaning of the distributor, the closure cap is designed with a screw connection.

In a further embodiment, it is possible to put the distributor on a stand. Depending on the number of glass feeds, the same number of commercially available shot glasses can be placed directly on the base. Through a recess in the

The base prevents the glasses from slipping and the distributor can be placed exactly over the glasses. The position of the removable spoon parts is automatically specified by the fixed glasses.

DRAWINGS [0014] FIG. 1 shows the overview of the assembled device. [0015] FIG. 2 shows the distributor with removable spoon parts. [0016] FIG. 3 shows the sealing cap with thread 5 shows the distributor without the removable spoon parts [0019] FIG. 6 shows a detailed view of the removable spoon parts [0020] FIG. 7 shows the base for glasses [0021] FIG. 8 shows the design of the distributor with joints for the spoon parts The device can be used with or without a stand (10).

When used with a stand (10), the size of the glasses used (11) with a diameter of 40mm and a height of 70mm is specified. This corresponds to the common “shot glasses with a content of 4cl.

When used without a stand (10), the device assembled from the distributor (1), the closure cap (9) and the removable spoon parts (8), placed on top of six pieces, arranged in a circle.

In this case, the size of the glasses is not predetermined, but limited by the diameter of the device, to glasses with a maximum diameter at the upper edge of 50mm.

In both cases (with or without a stand) there is the upper edge of the glasses used between the distributor (1) and the removable spoon parts (8). The slanted arrangement of the glass feed (2) fixes the position of the device on the glasses.

In the following paragraph, the course of the liquids used is explained using the sectional drawing B-B Fig.4.

The desired layers (liquids) are successively filled directly from the bottle through the filling opening (3). The liquid flows uniformly into the feed channels (7) via the funnel (4) integrated in the closure cap (9) through the taper (5) over the center of the feed channels (6). From there, the liquid flows through the glass feed (2) to the outlet opening (16) on the inside of the spoon part (17) of the removable spoon part (8). Due to the small distance between the removable spoon part (8) and the inside of the glass (14), the liquid slowly flows downwards on the inside of the glass (14).

This process prevents mixing of the individual layers and the layer cocktail has its desired appearance.

After use, the device can be disassembled for cleaning.

For this purpose, the cap (9) can be unscrewed from the distributor (1) by turning it counterclockwise.

The removable spoon parts (8) are pushed obliquely upwards from the glass feeder (2). Now the feed channels (7) can be cleaned with a thin brush through the outlet opening (16).

In the version with joint (19), the spoon part is simply folded away via the joint (19). Now the feed channels (7) can be cleaned with a thin brush through the outlet opening (16).
