Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cork for closing drinks under carbon dioxide pressure, in particular sparkling wine or the like.
  • Containing bottles consisting of an open hollow body made of plastic, the opening of which can be closed by a lid.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a cork for closing carbonated drinks, in particular sparkling wine, champagne, sparkling wine and the like. Containing bottles by which the mood of the people present when the bottle is opened is further increased.
  • a champagne cork made of plastic is to be created, which is suitable as an advertising agent, so that the people present when the champagne bottle is opened in a high mood are addressed in terms of advertising.
  • a champagne cork is to be created, which triggers the mood-promoting effect or the advertising stunt at the moment of uncorking. Further advantages result from the description below.
  • a compressed elastic body is contained in the interior of the hollow body, on which a charge carrier is arranged on the opening-facing end of the compressed elastic body and the charge carrier through the hollow body in this position and thus the elastic body is kept compressed when the shaft of the hollow body is located in the bottle neck and is prevented from evading to the outside by this.
  • the cavity of the cork thus contains an elastic body which is kept compressed or tensioned as long as the shaft of the cork is in the bottle neck and the cavity of the shaft is narrowed by the radial forces then acting. The constriction locks the load carrier on the elastic body and thus also keeps the elastic body under tension.
  • the cargo material thrown out of the cork can be, for example, confetti, glitter, a paper snake that unfolds when it flies out, or an advertising material for a specific product.
  • the elastic body is a helical compression spring. Sufficient energy can be stored in this spring in order to eject the cargo material sufficiently far and high, which is conducive to achieving the desired effects.
  • the charge carrier is preferably clamped in the cavity of the shaft.
  • the outer dimension of the cork shaft is larger than the inner dimension of the bottle neck at its narrowest point, so that when the cork is driven into the bottle neck a narrowing of the cavity shaft occurs.
  • the diametrical dimension of the charge carrier is now selected so that the narrowing of the inside width of the cavity, which occurs anyway, causes the charge carrier consisting of a rigid material (metal) to be clamped in, as a result of which the elastic body is kept in the compressed state.
  • the load carrier is held in position by at least one projection formed on the inside of the cork shaft.
  • the projection can be an annular bead or a plurality of knobs.
  • At least two outwardly projecting bars are formed in the wall of the shaft, which are pivoted inward when corking from the bottle neck wall and then hold the load carrier in position against the force of the elastic body. Since the formation of these bars at the relevant points results in an opening in the shaft wall, the tightness of the cork below the bars must be ensured in this embodiment.
  • the bars can also be designed such that, without breaking through the shaft wall, projections formed on the outside of the shaft, for example knobs, are pressed inwards when corking through the bottle neck wall and form projections there which are not from the carrier plate more can be done.
  • the loading space located between the load carrier and the lid can be filled with a load which can vary according to the desired effects and purposes.
  • confetti glitter, paper snakes or advertising material for a specific product
  • other effects can be achieved with other materials.
  • a pop pea can be inserted between the plate body and the lid, which is caused to pop by the impact of the load carrier.
  • a foil ampoule with perfume or scented water can be used, which is crushed between the load carrier and the lid, so that a scent cloud develops.
  • individual loads such as engagement rings, can also be placed in the hold.
  • the locking force of the lid inserted into the cavity opening is smaller than the impact force transmitted from the released elastic body to the lid.
  • the impact force is much greater than the locking force, so that the lid is ejected together with the load by the impact of the load carrier.
  • the locking force can be selected to be larger or smaller by the formation of the ring groove / ring spring, so that the cover is thrown off easily or less easily.
  • the clear width of the cavity near the opening is reduced to a dimension which is smaller than the diameter of the load carrier by projections, ring beads or the like, or the load carrier is fastened to the upper end of the elastic body, the lower end of which is firmly connected to the hollow plastic body.
  • the above-mentioned projections or the fastening of the load carrier and the elastic body to the hollow plastic body ensures that the load carrier and the elastic body are ejected of the load in the cork. This prevents these parts from flying out of the cork and possibly scaring those present.
  • a body made of natural cork can be firmly inserted, for example glued, to which the spring can be attached with the plate-shaped load carrier.
  • the method according to the invention for closing a champagne bottle or the like is characterized according to the invention in that the charge carrier in the cork is pressed into a lower position with compression of the elastic body, the cork is then pressed into the neck of the bottle after increasing the pressure and thereby the position of the load carrier fixed in the cavity of the cork and then, if necessary, fills and closes the loading space above the load carrier.
  • the corks according to the invention can generally be driven in when corking the bottle in the same way as the previously known plastic corks. Due to the fact that the driving stamp acts on the load carrier, the elastic body is compressed when corking.
  • the hollow cork 1 consists of a shaft 1 a and a head 1 b of significantly larger diameter compared to the shaft.
  • the shaft 1 a has an upper cylindrical region and a frustoconical region adjoining at the bottom.
  • the upper cylindrical region can be corrugated on the outside (not shown).
  • the interior of the lower frustoconical region of the shaft 1 a is filled by a body 2 made of natural cork.
  • a coil spring 3 is attached, which is firmly connected to a plate 4 at the upper end.
  • FIG. 2 shows the mouth 5 of a champagne bottle, which initially narrows somewhat from the top downwards and then widens again slightly.
  • a pressure stamp (not shown), which acts on the plate 4, is used to drive the cork shown in FIG. 1 into the bottle mouth 5.
  • the helical compression spring 3 is first compressed, taking the form shown in FIG. 2. Then the cork 1 is driven into the mouth with the same stamp, the clear interior 6 narrowing somewhat in the cylindrical region of the shaft 1 a .
  • the wall of the shaft 1 a comes into engagement with the edge of the plate 4, as a result of which the plate 4 is locked in the position shown in FIG. 2.
  • the spring 3 thus remains permanently tensioned.
  • the loading space 7 can be filled with a load 8, for example confetti.
  • the room 7 is then closed by a cover 9 locked.
  • the head 1 has b of the cork on the inside an annular bead 1 c, and the cover 9 has, which cooperates at its projecting into the space 7 a collar 9 a corresponding annular groove 9 b 1 c with the bead.
  • the holding force of the lid 9 in the opening ensures that the lid does not open unintentionally and releases the load, but on the other hand is repelled when the spring 3 is released.
  • the plate 4 is held only by the wall of the shaft 1 a by radial clamping forces, in the embodiment of Figure 3, on the inside of the shaft 1 a distributed over the periphery a plurality of knobs 10, the top of which is chamfered and the underside of which runs perpendicular to the cork axis.
  • the plate 4 slides over the knobs 10, the wall of the shaft 1 a yielding to the outside, since the cork is located outside the bottle mouth.
  • the cork is driven into the mouth 5 of the bottle.
  • the plate 4 lies by the spring pressure against the underside of the knobs 10, which can now no longer deflect outwards and hold the plate 4 in the position shown until the cork is removed from the bottle mouth again.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 4 differs from that in FIG. 3 in that instead of the knobs 10 there have been movable bars 11 which normally assume the position shown on the left in FIG. In this position they protrude slightly outwards so that they do not hinder the insertion of the plate 4 into the position shown in FIG.
  • the inside of the bottle mouth 5 presses the bars 11 inwards into a position in which they overlap the plate 4 and which is shown on the right side of FIG.
  • the plate 4 and the spring 3 are then in the locked position shown in Figure 4, as long as the cork is in the bottle neck, since the bars 11 can not escape to the outside.
  • the bars release the plate 4 so that the load on the plate 4 is ejected.
  • the outside of the cork is provided with corrugations 12 in its cylindrical region below the bars.
  • the plate 4 has this function to a limited extent by preventing the shaft wall from yielding inwards and thereby impairing the seal. In these embodiments, however, the stabilization only extends over the narrow range of the plate thickness.
  • the plate 4 is replaced by a cylindrical body 13 made of natural cork, which is fixed in the same way as in the embodiment according to FIG. 2 solely by radial clamping forces in the cylindrical region of the shaft 1 a .
  • the body 13 stabilizes the wall of the shaft 1 a over a longer axial area, which is favorable for the seal.
  • the spring 3 is thus arranged between the two natural cork bodies 2 and 13.
  • the inner surface serves as a stop for the cork body 13 when uncorking and prevent the flying out of this body and the spring, but not the ejection of the load 8.
  • the ejection of the body 13 or Plate 4 can of course also be prevented in that the body 13 or 4 are attached to the spring 3, which in turn is firmly connected to the natural cork body 2, which in the frustoconical part of the shaft 1 a for example, is firmly attached by gluing.
