Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for preserving the content of an opened Beverage bottle according to the preamble of independent claim 1 and a closure pin for a beverage bottle for use in the device according to the preamble of independent claim 11.
- a system for the preservation of the contents of opened beverage bottles in which opened wine and champagne or sparkling wine bottles are provided with a special closure pin, which either has an integrated outlet valve designed as a check valve (for wine bottles or generally bottles with so-called “still” content) or an integrated inlet valve designed as a check valve (for champagne and sparkling wine).
- the system has an application head to which the bottle cap can be coupled in a communicating manner by being brought up to it.
- the application head is designed as an evacuation head for wine bottles and connected to a suction pump.
- the application head is designed as a filling head and connected to a pressure pump.
- the application head is designed both as an evacuation head and as a filling head and is accordingly connected to a suction pump and to a pressure pump. If a bottle with the special sealing pin attached to it is coupled to the application head, a controller starts either the suction pump or the pressure pump, depending on whether it is a wine bottle or a champagne or sparkling wine bottle, and sucks in the case of Wine extracts air from the bottle via the outlet valve integrated in the plug or, in the case of champagne or sparkling wine, presses air or CO 2 into the bottle through the inlet valve integrated in the plug. In the case of wine or beverages, a negative pressure is created in the bottle, in the case of champagne or sparkling wine.
- the known systems maintain the quality of the opened bottles beverages over a relatively short period of time, but can in particular high quality standards are not enough.
- Food-grade nitrogen N 2 is best suited to displace the circulating air or residual oxygen from the bottle above the liquid level. Nitrogen does not diffuse in liquids and therefore does not affect the taste of the liquid, wine or champagne. Nitrogen is available in sufficient quantities at favorable conditions and can be transported and stored safely.
- a bottle stopper which instead of usual Cork in the neck of e.g. Wine bottles can be used to add content to preserve the same.
- This bottle stopper contains a replaceable cartridge with pressurized nitrogen. By pressing an operating button An inlet valve provided in the bottle cap is opened, causing nitrogen to escape the cartridge flows into the bottle. This will cause the above the liquid level in the Air from the bottle is displaced from the bottle and by air provided in the closure Vent channels are discharged to the outside. There are pressure relief valves in the ventilation channels available that are closed at normal atmospheric pressure. By replacement The contents of the bottle are preserved in the air by nitrogen.
- US-A-4 702 396 there is a similar bottle stopper which is additionally designed as a dispenser described.
- the also replaceable nitrogen pressure cartridge constantly communicating via a pressure regulator and a feed pipe Connection with the inside of the bottle, in the neck of which the bottle cap is inserted is, and creates an overpressure in it, which on the one hand to displace the over the air level and on the other hand to remove the bottle contents is exploited.
- the air escapes through an outlet valve that can be opened manually provided ventilation pipe.
- the liquid in the bottle passes through a riser reaching to the bottom of the bottle, in which there is a manually operated Dispensing valve is located.
- the device essentially comprises at least one specially designed locking pin, designated as a whole by S. and a filling device designated as a whole by E.
- Filling head a feed valve 1, a vent valve 2, a gas source 3 and one electrical control 4 for controlling the two valves 1 and 2 and one with the control cooperating pressure sensor 4a.

- the connection 27, the oblique bore 28 and the space between the inner wall of bore 26 and the outer wall of the filler tube 10 together form a ventilation channel passing through the assembly block 20.
- the vent valve 2 is connected to the connection 27 (Fig. 2) or arranged directly in this and closes the ventilation duct in a closed position Condition to the outside.
- An electrical switch (microswitch) 29 is also arranged on the mounting block 20, which is actuated via a plunger 29a which is mounted in a sliding manner in the assembly block can be.
- the plunger 29a passes through the mounting block 20 and projects in the idle state slightly out of the assembly block on the underside. Through a- or upward movement of the plunger 29a, the switch 29 is actuated, the reset of the plunger 29a downwards by the return spring provided in the switch supported by the action of gravity.
- the locking pin S comprises an essentially cup-shaped base body 30, in the perforated bottom of a tubular plug 31 from a elastic material.
- the tubular plug 31 is on its outer Provided circumference with elastic annular sealing ribs 32 which are attached to the Fit the inner wall of the neck of a beverage bottle F tightly.
- the dimensions of the elastic tubular plug 31 are of course the dimensions adapted to the common wine and champagne bottles.
- Valve housing 33 In the base body 30 of the locking pin S there is an essentially tubular one Valve housing 33 is arranged with an inwardly projecting flange 34. At the bottom At the end of the valve housing 33, a flood pipe 42 is sealed, which is connected to the Valve housing 33 communicates and through the elastic plug 31 through protrudes slightly below the level of the leaf springs 51 into the bottle neck.
- the flood pipe 42 is slightly smaller in diameter than the inner diameter of the elastic Plug 31, so that between the flood pipe 41 and the elastic plug 31 an annular channel 45 remains free.
- corresponding axially parallel through-channels can be provided.
- valve body 43 Inside the valve housing 33 there is a valve body 43, which is one helical spring 44 which is supported on the flood pipe 42 is still pressed at the top.
- the inwardly projecting flange 34 of the valve housing 33 forms one to the valve body 43 opposite valve seat.
- the valve body 43 engages with a diameter somewhat smaller cylindrical extension 43a through the flange 34 and protrudes (in the rest position) from its end face (Fig. 1).
- the valve body 43 Below the cylindrical Extension 43a, the valve body 43 has a conical section, which cooperate with the region of the flange 34 designed as a valve seat. Under the conical section, the valve body 43 is prismatic with, for example square or hexagonal cross-section, so that in this Area between the valve body and the inner wall of the valve housing 33 free flow cross sections remain open.
- the flange 34 of the valve housing 33 and the valve body 43 together form one inlet valve working as a check valve, through which in the open state (Fig. 2) gas can be introduced into the beverage bottle F, the valve housing 33 and the flood pipe 42 attached to it through the locking pin S form an inlet channel leading through, in which the inlet valve lies and through which the supplied gas flows.
- valve housing 33 In the upper area of the valve housing 33 are located between the latter and the inner wall of the base body 30 an outwardly open (above) ring channel 41 and immediately underneath this a ring channel 39, slightly larger in diameter Valve housing 33 is an elastic valve disc 40 clamped with the through the different diameters of the two ring channels 39 and 41 formed ring shoulder works together as a valve seat and together with this as a check valve working exhaust valve, which is in normally closed State (Fig. 1) separates the ring channel 39 from the overlying ring channel 41 and in the open state (FIG. 2) connects the ring channel 39 to the ring channel 41.
- axially parallel channels 36 and radial channels 37 are provided, and radial channels 38 are also provided in the flood pipe 42.
- This radial Channels 38 and 37 and the axially parallel channels 36 connect the ring channel 45 in elastic plug 31 communicating with the ring channel 39 below the elastic Valve disc 40.
- the parts of the locking pin S forming the inlet channel and the outlet channel are dimensioned so that the free flow cross-section of the outlet duct at each Place larger, preferably at least a factor> 2 larger than the smallest is the free flow cross section of the inlet duct.
- the bottle F is together with the closure pin fastened on or in it S as far as the filling head H, which is fixed at a suitable point, that the upper end face of the locking pin S is in contact with the assembly block 20 is coming.
- the collar 23 of the assembly block 20 penetrates the annular channel 41 and on the other hand the extension 11 of the filling tube 10 into the flange 34 of the valve housing 33 a.
- the plunger 29a is pushed up and thereby the switch 29 is actuated (FIG. 2).
- the sealing ring 12 seals with the flange 34 of the valve housing 33, and the Circumferential sealing ring 25 seals with the outer wall of the ring channel 41 in the locking pin S from.
- the collar 23 of the mounting block 20 which has penetrated into the annular channel 41 presses the elastic valve disc 40 downward and thereby opens the outlet valve of the locking pin S.
- the outlet channel in the plug S and the ventilation channel in the filling head H are now in a communicating connection and are closed off from the environment.
- the filling tube 10 and the inlet channel are in the locking pin S communicatively connected and closed off from the environment.
- the controller 4 simultaneously opens the supply valve 1 and the vent valve 2. From the gas source 3 or the corresponding connection Coming from here now flows nitrogen or another food-compatible Gas that is under a relatively low excess pressure of the order of about 100 kPa (1 bar), preferably about 140 kPa (1.4 bar), through the fill pipe 10 and the inlet channel of the closure pin S into the bottle F. At the same time, through the inflowing gas is the gas in the bottle, usually normal, oxygen-containing Ambient air, displaced from the bottle and through the outlet channel in the sealing plug S and into the environment via the ventilation channel in the filling head pushed out. After a first period of e.g.
- the control closes for approx. 5 s 4 the vent valve 2. Since the supply valve 1 is still open, the flow continues Gas into the bottle, which creates a slight overpressure in the bottle, which is detected by the pressure sensor 4a and transmitted to the controller 4. If a preset Target pressure of e.g. about 80 kPa (0.8 bar) is reached, which is normal after approximately another second, the supply valve 1 is removed from the control 4 closed again. Alternatively, the supply valve 1 can be closed by the control 4 is also time-controlled.
- the overpressure in the bottle can later be removed before the plug is removed S can be drained by opening the inlet valve. To do this only the button-shaped protruding from the front of the locking pin Extension 43a of the valve body 43 to be pushed in by hand, thereby the inlet valve opens and the overpressure opens safely and without annoying noise can degrade through the inlet duct.
- a commercially available, with a corresponding pressure reducing valve can be used as the gas source 3 provided gas, especially nitrogen bottle are used.
- the for the Functional sequences required electrical control 4 can be done with very simple means can be realized and requires no further explanation for the person skilled in the art.
- the controller 4 could also be pneumatic, whereby the gas source also the drive energy for the pneumatic control could deliver. Triggering the functional sequences of the control (opening and pressure- or time-controlled closing of the supply and vent valve) can in the case of pneumatic control in a manner known per se by mechanical Coupling of a control valve with the plunger 29 take place.
- the device according to the invention is capable of an overpressure of 20 to 300 kPa (0.2 to 3 bar) over a period of at least 120 hours in the bottle constant maintenance and thus the quality preservation of the contents of the bottle to guarantee for at least this period.
- the second embodiment of the inventive shown in Figures 3 and 4 Device differs from the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2 only through the construction of the inlet valve of the locking pin S.
- the spring-loaded one Valve body 43 is here in the upper end of the flood pipe 142 Pin 143 mounted coaxially movable.
- the pin 143 is with a sealing washer 143b, which with the inwardly projecting flange 34 of the valve housing 33 works together and forms the inlet valve with it.
- a through button-shaped extension 143a of pin 143 projecting through flange 34 the same function as the corresponding extension 43a of the valve body 43 in the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2. All other components of this embodiment the device according to the invention are identical to those of the Embodiment of Figures 1 and 2 and therefore with the same reference numerals Mistake.
