Abstract

An improved venturi apparatus for the incorporation of air into it liquid. The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises an entry section, a cylindrical section, and an outflow section. Lateral tubes extend from the cylindrical section so as to form an acute angle relative to both the central and cross-sectional axes of the cylindrical section, thereby preventing leakage of liquid out through the lateral tubes during use and subsequent handling. The entry section includes a breather tube connected to the cylindrical section.

Claims (16)

1. A venturi apparatus for mixing two fluids, said apparatus comprising:

a conduit through which a first fluid flows, said conduit having a constricted intermediate region;

a plurality of lateral tubes for introducing a second fluid substantially at the constricted intermediate region, at least two of said tubes being formed at a substantially acute angle relative to the direction of flow of the first fluid through the constricted intermediate region and with respect to central, vertical and lateral axes thereof.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the constricted intermediate region has a further constriction at its downstream end.
3. The apparatus of claim 2, further comprising a planar segment coupled to the upstream end of the constricted intermediate region for inhibiting vortical flow.
4. A venturi apparatus for incorporating one or more secondary fluids into a primary fluid, said apparatus having:

a first section for channeling a primary fluid;

a second section comprising a constricted tube, and having one or more lateral tubes for introducing one or more secondary fluids into the primary fluid, said tubes being formed at a substantially acute angle relative to the direction of flow of the primary fluid and with respect to central, vertical and lateral axes thereof; and a third section for expelling the combined fluids.
5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the downstream end of said second section is further constricted.
6. The apparatus of claim 5, further having a planar segment coupled to the upstream end of the second section for inhibiting vortical flow.
7. A vertically oriented venturi apparatus for incorporating air into a fluid comprising:
a funnel section having a wide end and a narrow end;

a cylindrical section having a first and second end, said first end being fluidly coupled to the narrow end of said funnel section;

a frusto-conical section having a narrow end and a wide end, fluidly coupled at its narrow end to the second end of said cylindrical section;

one or more lateral tubes extending from said cylindrical section, for introducing air thereto, said tubes being constructed to form a substantially acute angle relative to the central, vertical and lateral axes of said cylindrical section.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the diameter of the narrow end of said frusto-conical section is smaller than the diameter of the second end of said cylindrical section.
9. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising a vertically planar segment coupled to the first end of said cylindrical section.
10. The apparatus of claim 10, further including one or more handles coupled to said funnel section.
11. Conduit apparatus, having a top and a bottom with respect to central and lateral axes thereof, for pouring and aerating liquid flowing from a bottle comprising:

an outflow section;

an entry section, having a ventilating tube disposed at its top along its entire length and substantially parallel to the central axis, for insertion into the bottle opening; and a conduit, for coupling the outflow and entry sections, having a constricted intermediate region intersected by one or more lateral tubes for introducing air into the conduit thereat;

said lateral tubes being formed at a substantially acute angle relative to the direction of liquid flow through the intermediate region and with respect to central, vertical and lateral axes thereof;

said ventilating tube being fluidly coupled to said conduit for introducing air into the bottle.
12. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the outflow end includes an outlet cover for covering the outflow section when the apparatus is not in use.
13. The apparatus of claim 11, further comprising a planar segment coupled to the upstream end of the constricted intermediate region for inhibiting vortical flow.
14. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the constricted intermediate region has a further constriction at its downstream end.
15. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the entry section includes a tapered portion having a liquid seal coating for fitting into the mouth of a bottle and forming a liquid seal therewith.
16. Apparatus of claim 15 wherein the ventilating tube is formed by the seal coating of the entry section at the top of the entry section.
