Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for generating foam when emptying of beverage containers, preferably of beer bottles or beer cans.
- WO 97/00214 A describes a foam-promoting device, those inside a hydraulic fluid container partially filled with fluid is arranged and a cavity and two passage devices having. The is above the open ends of the passage devices Cavity of the device with the interior of the hydraulic fluid container in Connection.
- One of the passage devices forms a gas inlet channel for admitting pressurized gas from the head space of the pressurized liquid container a gas outlet into the cavity and the other flow device for releasing pressurized gas into the liquid surrounding the device.
- a container for carbonated beverages is known from US-A-5,780,083 with a hollow insert that is inside the container on the drink swims.
- the hollow insert which forms a device according to the preamble of claim 1, consists of two insert parts, which have a circumferential Tongue and groove are locked together gas-tight.
- the insert parts each have a staggered arrangement Opening means, one of which is arranged so that the entry of the gas in use from the free space above the beverage and the other opening means is arranged so that there is gas from use in the drink being sprayed.
- One of the opening means is provided with a one-way valve, while the other opening means is a small hole.
- the invention has for its object a device for generating To create foam when emptying beverage containers that are easy to manufacture and handling and is for use in normal beer bottles and beer cans is suitable.
- the object is achieved by a device having the characterizing features of claim 1, the device being a gas-filled container which can be placed in beer bottles or beer cans and which is an opening having.
- This device is suitable for all normal beer bottles and Beer cans and can be used in them without changing them be introduced, which when emptying the desired effect is achieved.
- Through the opening in the gas filled container occurs when filling and after closing the Bottles and cans of drinking liquid so that the gas pressure in the container increases to the pressure in the bottle or can.
- the gas filling in the container can consist of air, which means its handling is particularly simple. Because of The shelf life of bottles or cans can also be be appropriate or necessary, the container with a Inert gas, such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen or also noble gases like filling argon or helium.
- a Inert gas such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen or also noble gases like filling argon or helium.
- the opening in the container is one Has a diameter of preferably 0.2 to 0.4 mm.
- This Diameter range of the opening offers a guarantee against it Constipation and on the other hand causes an only gradual Outflow of the gas content of the container into the Drinking liquid and thus its foaming over one longer period.
- the selected diameter range also bears different sizes of the container bill.
- the container is made of preferably elastically deformable Plastic, it can be easily molded by injection molding manufacture and requires no rework. Moreover it fulfills high requirements regarding cleanliness and Hygiene.
- the elastically deformable plastic also offers that Advantage that the container during the insertion in the Beer bottle or beer can may be deformed elastically because it then returns to its original shape.
- the cross section of the container is larger than the cross section of the pouring opening of beer bottles and Beer cans is. This ensures that the container only is forcefully insertable into the beverage container and thus not inadvertently when pouring the drink can be poured out. It is also achieved that the Container when regenerating its original shape from the at least predominantly gas filled gas container records that is available for foaming the beverage stands.
- the lower part has a preferably flat bottom with a has increased thickness relative to the container wall the bottom of the floating container made of weight or Main focus always below the liquid level.
- the container is preferably cylindrical or roughly is cylindrical and has rounded ends, it is for insertion into the bottle neck of a beer bottle particularly suitable.
- Figure 1 shows a cross section through a container 1, the has a lower part 2 and an upper part 3, which are made of elastic deformable plastic are made.
- the lower part 2 has a circumferential groove 4 with a circumferential locking lug 5 on, the upper part 3 a circumferential spring 6 with a circumferential locking groove 7, with the help of the lower part 2 and Upper part 3 can be locked.
- the lower part 2 has a flat bottom 8, the thickness of which is larger than that of the container wall 9. Thereby lies the Container 1 when swimming with the bottom at the bottom the liquid or in the drink.
- a tube 11 is rectangular molded on, at a distance up to the locked upper part 3 enough.
- the free end of the tube 11 is through a cover 12 closed, in which there is an opening 13. This has a diameter of depending on the volume of the container 1 0.2 to 0.4 mm.
- the end of the tube 11 formed on the bottom 8 is via an expanding other opening 14 in the bottom 8th connected to the environment.
- Figure 2 reproduces a cross section A-A through the container 1
- Figure 1 represents, with its tube 11 and cover 12, the opening 13 and the other opening 14, while Figure 3 one Cross section B-B through the container 1 shows with the tube 11 in Side view.
- Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the cylindrical basic shape of the container 1, while Figure 1, the rounded ends 15 of the Container 1 shows. All three figures leave that Difference in thickness between the bottom 8 and the container wall 9 and recognize the circumferential groove 4 and the tongue 6.
- Figure 4 is a plan view of the inside of the Lower part 2 and the upper part 3 shown with the circumferential groove 4 in the lower part 2 and the circumferential tongue 6 in the upper part 3. Both parts 2, 3 are by a Hinge-like connecting part 16 formed in one piece. in the The middle 12 of the lower part 2 shows the cover 12.
- the device according to the invention functions as follows:
- the container consisting of the lower part 2 and the upper part 3 1 is by folding around the hinge-like Connecting part 16 and by inserting the rotating spring 6 in the circumferential groove 4 with simultaneous locking of the circumferential locking lug 5 in the circumferential locking groove 7 completed.
- the container 1 filled with air as a rule can then, for example, in a beer bottle to be filled be put.
- the diameter of the container 1 is so large chosen that he can only by slight deformation by the Bottleneck can get into the beer bottle. Because the container 1 consists of elastically deformable plastic, it takes in Inside the beer bottle immediately its original shape again on. As a result, he can no longer get out of the beer bottle fall out.
- the introduction of the container 1 in the Beer bottle is 15 by its rounded ends facilitated.
- the one with air, carbon dioxide and liquid under pressure Filled container 1 floats in the area when the bottle is standing of the bottle neck. This is due to the reinforced floor 8 and the resulting center of gravity of the container 1 the other opening 14 always directed towards the liquid.
- the arrangement of the tube 11 and the opening 13 in the cover 12 causes the liquid to remain in the container 1. As a result is its total gas volume only for foaming and not effective for expelling the liquid.
- the widening other opening 14 causes one conically widening exit jet of the gas from the Container 1. This will cause a large volume of liquid in the Beer bottle captured and foamed.
