Definitions

  • the present invention relates to liquid substances dispenser for a mottle or similar container.
  • a typical case of this problem is to preserve the natural aroma in citrus fruit juices which at the time of squeezing contain small quantities of essential oils which determine their aroma. If these juices are not consumed at that moment, in a short time they deteriorate as a result of those same oils which oxidize due to the acidity of the juice. In order to avoid this incovenience, the oil is removed from the juice at the time of the juice's extraction. Nevertheless, in order not to deprive the juice of its natural aroma, it is possible to add an essential oil to the citrus fruit juice at the time of its use.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a dispenser for liquid substances able to maintain two liquids separate within the same container and to allow their mixing during pouring by the user.
  • the dispenser according to the invention characterized in that it comprises a substantially cylindrical capsule, engageable in the neck of a bottle and containing a liquid substance to be mixed with the liquid contained in the bottle itself.
  • the capsule has a bottom wall and an inner tube extending coaxially to the capsule, with an open bottom end and a top end closed by a pierceable wall.
  • the capsule is closed by a pierceable cap engaged therein and forcing against the internal faces of the capsule's side walls.
  • the bottle is closed by a plug provided with an inwardly protruding pointed peg for piercing the cap and the pierceable wall until engaging with the tube. When opening the bottle by removing the plug, the peg frees the top end of the tube through which the liquid contained in the bottle can flow and mix with the substance contained in the capsule.
  • a dispenser for liquid substances applied to the neck 1a of a bottle 1 comprises a substantially cylindrical capsule 2 able to be inserted by pressure into the neck 1a.
  • the capsule 2 has a bottom wall 3 and an inner tube 4 extending coaxially to the capsule 2, with an open bottom end 5 and a top end closed by a pierceable wall 6.
  • the capsule 2 is closed by a pierceable cap 7 engaged therein and forcing against the internal faces of the capsule's side walls.
  • the capsule 2 has an upper edge protruding outwards so as to abut against the edge of the neck 1a.
  • the bottle 1 is closed by a plug 9 which screws onto the neck 1a and has an internally protruding pointed peg 10.
  • the capsule 2 is filled with a liquid substance 11 to be mixed with the contents 12 of the bottle 1 at the time of pouring by the user.
  • the capsule 2, filled with the substance 11 and closed with the cap 7, is inserted in the neck 1a of the bottle 1.
  • the bottle is closed with the plug 9 the peg of which 10 pierces first the cap 7 and then the wall 6 until engaging with the tube 4 thus preventing the substance 11 from mixing with the contents 12 of the bottle.
  • the plug is removed from the neck 1a freeing the tube 4 from the peg 10.
  • the contents 12 of the bottle flow through the opening 5 into the tube 4 and through the hole 6a of wall 6. Before leaving the bottle through the hole 7a produced in the cap 7 by the peg 10, the contents 12 mix with the liquid substance 11, contained in the capsule 2, also flowing towards the hole 7a.
  • the dosage of the substance 11 which mixes with the contents 12 of the bottle is regulated as a function of the distance between the capsule 2 and the upper end of the tube 4 and depends also on the density of the substance 11 as well as on the concentration which it must have in the resulting liquid.
  • the walls of the capsule 2 which engage in the neck 1a are advantageously tapered to assure a sufficient pressure which creates a seal and will not allow the capsule 2 to come off the neck of the bottle during its use.
  • circumferential bands 13 are provided for, in order to improve the seal with the walls of the bottle neck and to provide greater pressure against the walls.
  • cap 7 and the capsule 2 can be made as a single piece whenever for constructive needs this is more convenient.
