Abstract

This utility model relates to a drinking appliance for beverage containers of glass or ceramic material so as to be adapted to beverage containers such as plastic containers, cardboard boxes or metal cans containing beer, refreshments, juices, milk and the like, as well as a combination of a beverage container with an appliance for drinking to beverage containers of glass or ceramic material.

Description

This utility model relates to a drinking device for beverage-containing containers of glass or ceramic material that is adapted to beverage-containing containers, such as plastic containers, cardboard boxes or metal boxes containing beer, refreshments, juices, milk and the like, as well as for the combination of a beverage container with a beverage dispenser to beverage containers containing glass or ceramic material.

Beverages, such as beer, refreshments, juices, milk and the like, are packaged in containers of various materials that are suitable for use in the food industry and which hold the beverage's physical-chemical properties and organoleptic qualities for a period of time.

These beverage container materials may be plastic materials for use in the food industry, such as PP (polypropylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), RENO (high density polyethylene), metallic materials such as aluminum, glass or ceramic or cardboard covered with polyethylene film bonded to aluminum foil.

The use of PET containers, metal cans or coated cardboard boxes, for example in the TePa-Rak system, for the packaging of beer, refreshments, juices, milk, presents a series of advantages, one of which is that the weight of the product packed in this type of container is less than the weight of the same amount of product packed in a glass or ceramic container, making it easier to handle and transport and equally attractive to both the manufacturer and the consumer.

It is well known that often consumers drink drinks directly from containers, with their mouths contacting the distribution end of the container.

The contact of the mouth with the dispensing end of the container has a special idea in the mind of the user, which is connected, on the one hand, with the quality of the contact surface and, on the other, with the perceived taste sensation.

The quality of the contact surface is related to the feeling of smoothness or shine, the geometric profile of the dispensing end of the drink, whether provided with ribbing or not, whether provided with a narrow end or rounded flange, etc.

The perceived taste sensation is the result of the taste of the drink in combination with the taste caused by the contact of the mouth with the material from which the dispensing end of the container is made.

Thus, in the case of contact of the mouth with the distribution end of a container of plastic material, the consumer perceives and associates the taste of the beverage also with the specific taste of the plastic material.

Similarly, in the case of contact of the mouth with the dispensing end of a container in the form of a metal box, the consumer perceives and associates the taste of the drink with the specific metallic taste.

In addition, when more users would like to drink from the same container, there is also a hygiene problem caused by the contact of the first user's mouth with the distribution end of the container.

The purpose of the utility model is to provide a beverage dispenser to beverage containers of glass or ceramic material to be fitted at the distribution end of a container of plastic material, cardboard or metal box so as to allow the user to drink the liquid contents by contacting his mouth with the device of glass or ceramic material, thus avoiding contact of the mouth with the dispensing end of the container.

Another objective of the utility model is to provide a beverage dispenser to beverage containers containing glass or ceramic material, which can be adapted and used individually and which, after use, can be removed and replaced with an unused device. to drink containers of glass or ceramic material containing beverages to avoid hygiene problems when a group of users wants to drink from the same container.

2829 ϋΐ

Another objective of the utility model is to provide a beverage dispenser to beverage containers made of glass or ceramic material that can be adapted and used individually and which after use can be washed with water, disinfected and reused.

Another objective of the utility model is to provide a combination of a container containing drinking liquid with a drinking device to beverage containers containing glass or ceramic material.

The drinking device, which can be adapted to beverage containers according to the utility model, includes a first tubular body of glass or ceramic material, which is the size of the neck of a glass container customary to the consumer provided at the top with a rounded flange, projecting to the outside of the first tubular body, the lower part being tightly secured / fixed within the circumferential fastening means provided at the upper part of the second tubular body, which is provided at the bottom with a fastening means The container of the beverage container, allowing the liquid to pass from the container to the user through the first tubular body of glass or ceramic material without the leakage of the liquid.

Glass material means plain glass, crystal, colored glass, etc.

Ceramic material means ordinary ceramics, porcelain, etc.

The benefits of a utility model are:

- improving the taste perception when consuming the liquid directly from the container of plastic, metal or cardboard material;

- avoiding injury by contact of the mouth with the distribution end of the container of plastic, metal or cardboard material;

- ease in adapting the beverage dispenser to containers containing beverages in and, respectively, removing the beverage dispenser from plastic, metal and cardboard containers;

- ensuring individual hygiene in the case of using the same container by several users;

- the possibility of reusing the drinking device to containers containing beverages.

Figure 2: cross-sectional view of the beverage dispenser of beverage-containing containers, which can be adapted to metal cans;

In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the beverage dispenser for beverage-containing containers is made of a first tubular body 1 of glass material having the shape and dimensions of the neck of a glass container customary to the consumer.

The first pipe body 1 can also be made by processing recycled bottles from a recycling chain.

In the upper part of the first tubular body 1 of glass material is provided a rounded flange protruding to the outside, which allows the wearer to have contact through the mouth with a smooth and touchable surface.

The lower part of the first tubular body 1 of glass material is tightly fixed / firmly fixed to a second tubular body 2 made of material suitable for use in food processing.

2829 ϋΐ mentality and having a degree of elasticity suitable for pressure mounting.

The second tube body 2 is provided at the top with a fixing means 3 for the tight attachment of the first tube body 1.

The fixing means 3 may be in any shape suitable for the tight attachment of the first tubular body 1 to the second tubular body 2, such as in the form of a groove provided in the circular wall of the second tubular body 2 shown in Figure 1, in the form of a circular frame for entering inside the first tubular body 1 shown in Figure 1A, as a circular frame for enclosing the outside of the first tubular body 1 shown in Figure 1B, or in another form.

The mounting means 3 is dimensioned in such a way that the first tubular body 1 is firmly fixed by pressing against the mounting elements of the mounting means 3.
