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 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.
