Abstract

Re-usable bottle stopper or container stopper and dispensing device for re-usable bottles holding 0.75, 1, 1.5 and 2 litres, and for containers able to hold 5, 10 or more litres, made of plastic or stainless steel and with uniform bottle neck or container neck. Can be used in the production of champagnes, sparkling wine and other alcoholic refreshments in accordance with the method of "fermentation by bottle or container" or for adding carbon dioxide to bottle or container. The dispensing device is used for dispensing, specifically with air exclusion. This has the advantage that smaller quantities of the drink can be dispensed at longer time intervals. The quality of the drink remains virtually unchanged. The bottle stopper or container stopper is made up of the following parts: 1) body, 2) valve needle, 3) compression spring, 4) seal, 5) flat nut, 6)connection piece, 7) tube, 8) filter housing, 9) microfilter, and, after it has been assembled, is placed on 10) bottle or container, and is screwed tight with 11) flanges or container screw after filling (Fig. 1). For dispensing, a dispensing device is needed which consists of the following parts (see Fig. 2): 1) dispensing pipe holder, 2) dispensing pipe, 3) O-ring seal. The dispensing device is not part of the stopper and should be kept handy at home, like a corkscrew. The dispensing procedure itself is simple. After removing the decoration from the bottle neck or container neck, the dispensing device is... Original abstract incomplete. <IMAGE>

Description

Reusable bottle stopper and dispenser for the production of champagne, sparkling wine, sparkling wine and other soft drinks in plastic reusable bottles with 0.75; 1; 1.5 and 2 liter content or Reusable containers of 5, 10 and more liters and a uniform bottle and container neck.

Around 300 years ago, sparkling wine was first made by the French cellar master Dom Perignon from the Houtville convent created in Champagne. In the trade, champagne, sparkling wine, sparkling wine is only in Disposable glass bottles with 0.2 l; 0.75 l; 1.5 l and 3 liter content offered. The corking and the Wiring is used only once.

In terms of environmental protection and the saving of raw materials and energy, I have a bottle or Container closure and a simple dispensing device developed. They are reusable and for Reusable bottles made of plastic and reusable containers made of stainless steel. It can be used for champagne, Sparkling wine and other alcoholic beverages using the "fermentation on bottle or container" process be generated. Other drinks can be carbonated.

The tap in the absence of air and the drink is stable for a longer period. It can even smaller quantities can be tapped without the quality suffering.

The benefits of producing champagne, sparkling sparkling wine, sparkling wine and tapping with the above I would like to describe the proposed bottle or container closure and dispensing device as follows:

• 1) Saving the first corking with crown caps and opening.
• 2) Saving of the crown cap.
• 3) Saving of the shaking process.
• 4) The "DEGORGING" and "DOSAGE" are omitted.
• 5) Replacing the glass with plastic prevents bottle breakage.
• 6) Lighter weight.
• 7) Greater choice in terms of bottle or container capacity.
• 8) The original quality of the product is preserved because the tapping takes place in the absence of air and thus the drink remains longer.
• 9) Low sulfurization.

The bottle or container closure consists of the following parts (see Fig. 1):

1 body
2 valve needle
3 compression spring
4 seal
5 flat nut
6 connector
7 pipe
8 filter housing
9 microfilters

After assembling the parts, the cap ( Fig. 1) is placed on the filled bottle or container ( 10 ) and fastened with the bottle screw ( 11 ). The bottle or container would then be prepared for fermentation on the bottle or container. The fermentation follows, which takes months and is the responsibility of the bottling plants.

Carbonation can take place immediately after filling and putting on the closure.

A tap is required for tapping, which consists of the following parts (see Fig. 2):

1 nozzle holder
2 nozzle
3 "O" sealing ring

Explanations

"DEGORGING" = removing the yeast deposit that occurs during fermentation.
"DOSAGE" = adding different flavors

Claims (4)

1. The invention relates to a bottle or container closure and a dispensing device, characterized in that they are reusable and for reusable bottles or containers made of plastic or stainless steel with a content of 0.75; 1; 1.5 and 2 liters or 5, 10 and more liters are intended and can be used to produce champagne, sparkling wine, sparkling wine and other soft drinks using the "fermentation on bottle or container" method. 2. Bottle or container closure as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that it is used for the production of Sparkling sparkling wine, sparkling wine and other soft drinks using the "carbonate" method Reusable bottles or containers "can be used. 3. dispensing device for dispensing beverages as in claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the dispensing takes place in the absence of air and there is the possibility of dispensing even smaller amounts of the beverage without impairing quality, even if the dispensing is carried out at longer intervals. The presence of a microfilter ( 8 ) installed at the end of the tube ( 7 ) means that a perfect, clear, unchanged drink can be tapped and enjoyed. 4. By not installing the microfilter ( 8 ) described in claim 3, one can cause a swirling of the yeast deposit by lightly shaking the bottle or the container. This gives the drink the properties of a coveted drink, such as young wine or, depending on the province, also called Suser, Federweisser or Heuriger and has digestive properties. I would also like to have the possibility of producing this drink protected by a patent under the name "SITSCHÄUMER".
