Definitions

• the present invention essentially relates to a container intended to contain for example a pressurized liquid and closable by a plug retained on the opening of the container by a wire.
• the present invention aims to fill this gap.
• the subject of the invention is a container intended to contain for example a pressurized liquid and closable by a stopper retained on the opening of the container by a wire cap, characterized in that the container is a drinking glass in the form of a cup or flute, the rim of which is closed in leaktight manner by at least one cover retained on the said rim by a wire cradle hung in a groove, annular rib or the like formed on the periphery of the rim.
• the cover is constituted by a plate in contact with the free edge of the rim and covered by a capsule on which the wire cup is applied.
• the aforementioned plate is made of a sealing material such as polymer, rubber or the like and the capsule, integral with the plate, is made of metal.
• the container of the invention is further characterized by the fact that the wall of the drinking glass consists of a double envelope which extends over at least part of the height of the glass and originates at the level of the base of this glass.
• the above-mentioned double envelope extends between the base of the glass and the aforementioned groove or rib.
• This double envelope may contain a product which gives the glass isothermal properties.
• the product can be an active thermostatic substance such as a molecular alloy.
• the aforementioned capsule is provided with a tear-off tab with ring, while the aforementioned plate, associated with the capsule, has a hole made in line with said tab.
• Figure 1 is a perspective view of a flute-shaped container according to this invention.
• Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, but showing the container in the closed position by a cover retained by a wire.
• Figure 3 is a sectional view along line III -III of Figure 2 and illustrating more particularly the structure of the seal retained by the wire cap on the flute drink.
• a container according to this invention is a drinking glass which, according to the example shown, has the general shape of a flute, it being understood that any other form of drinking cup does not is not excluded from the scope of this invention on the condition that it may contain a dose of liquid to be drunk under pressure, such as for example Champagne, it being understood that the material constituting the glass may be a metal, a plastic or simply transparent glass or not.
• the drinking glass 1 has a base 2 and the rim 3 of this glass can be closed in a leaktight manner by at least one cover 4 which is retained on said rim by a wire 5 clearly visible in FIGS. 2 and 3 and hung in a groove 6 practiced on the periphery of the drink 3.
• a wire 5 clearly visible in FIGS. 2 and 3 and hung in a groove 6 practiced on the periphery of the drink 3.
• We have shown at 7 in FIG. 2 the eyelet of the wire 5 which, by rotation in one direction or the other, allows either the fixing of said wire on the glass 1, or its detachment of the glass 1 to disengage the cover 4 from the drink 3 and thus allow the opening of the glass 1 in order to allow the consumption of its content.
• the cover 4 consists of a plate 8 of a sealing material such as polymer, rubber or the like intended to come into contact with the free edge 3a of the drink 3, this plate 8 being integral with and covered by a metal capsule 9 to which the wire 5 is applied, as can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.
• the sealing plate 8 can be fixed to the metal capsule 9 by any suitable known means.
• the cover 4 which has just been described and which is applied by the wire 5 to the free edge 3a of the drink 3 will be able to maintain the pressure contained in the glass.
• the metal capsule 9, as it clearly appears in FIGS. 2 and 3, has a tearing tab 30 with ring 31 to allow the grip of the tab.
• this tab is fixed by a rivet to the capsule 9 which is provided with a pre-notching line ensuring, under the effect of a traction exerted on the tab, the creation of an opening in said capsule.
• a hole 32 is formed, in line with the tearing tab 30.
• the wall of the glass 1 in the form of a goblet or flute may constitute a double envelope 10 which, according to the example shown, extends between the base 2 of the glass 1 and the groove 6. It will be noted here that, without departing from the scope of the invention, one could use, instead of the groove 6 an annular rib capable of retaining the wire 5 and therefore the cover 4 on the drink 3.
• This double envelope 10 may contain a product giving glass 1 isothermal properties.
• This double envelope 10 may for example contain a thermostatic substance called active, such as for example a molecular alloy of the type known under the trade name "Alcal". Such substances are in fact capable of maintaining for several tens of minutes, even several hours, a liquid at a temperature of between approximately 6 and 14 ° C. It should also be noted that the double envelope 10 could simply constitute an empty cavity.
• active such as for example a molecular alloy of the type known under the trade name "Alcal”.
• the internal pressure may be at least 3 kg / cm 2 , it being understood that if the glass 1 is simply made of a glass material, this glass must be of an appropriate thickness and composition and capable of receiving a liquid under such pressure.
• the total capacity of the glass 1 may be 14 centiliters, the liquid under pressure contained in the glass, such as for example Champagne, representing approximately 10 centiliters.
• the diameter of the opening 11 ( Figure 1) of the drink 3 may be about 4 centimeters.
• the wall of the glass 1 may include any inscriptions, decorations or engravings, as well as the base 2 or the external wall 9a of the metal capsule 9.
• a dose of liquid for drinking under pressure contained in a drinking glass which can be closed in a leaktight and reliable manner and which has a certain attractive power was therefore produced according to the invention.
• the shape of the drinking glass, the structure of the lid sealing this glass and its content can be arbitrary without departing from the scope of the invention.
