Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung ist auf einen Einsatz für unter Druck stehende Flüssigkeitsbehälter, insbesondere Getränkebehälter gerichtet, mit einer Komponentenkammer zur Aufnahme einer flüssigen, pastösen, pulverförmigen oder festen Komponente, beispielsweise eines Geschmacks-, Farb- oder sonstigen Wirkstoffs, ferner mit einer Druckkammer als Mittel zum Eintrag der Komponente in die Flüssigkeit beim Öffnen des Flüssigkeitsbehälters, wobei die Druckkammer eine kleine Außenbohrung aufweist.The invention relates to an insert for pressurized liquid containers, especially beverage containers directed with a component chamber to hold a liquid, pasty, powdery or solid Component, for example a taste, color or other Active ingredient, further with a pressure chamber as a means of entering the Component in the liquid when opening the liquid container, the Pressure chamber has a small outer bore.
Der Eintrag einer Komponente bzw. eines Wirkstoffs in eine Flüssigkeit mit dem Ziel, die Eigenschaften dieser Flüssigkeit in einer bestimmten Weise zu verändern, ist für unterschiedliche Anwendungsbereiche bekannt. Hierbei sind generell zwei unterschiedliche Anwendungsformen zu unterscheiden, und zwar
- der Eintrag des Wirkstoffs in die Flüssigkeit bereits bei der Herstellung des Endprodukts, beispielsweise der Eintrag von Farb- oder Geschmacksstoffen bei der Herstellung von Getränken wie Limonade, Likör usw. oder
- der Eintrag des Wirkstoffs erst beim Gebrauch der Flüssigkeit, beispielsweise der Eintrag von Milch und Zucker in zeitlich vorher bereitetem Kaffee.
- the entry of the active ingredient into the liquid already during the manufacture of the end product, for example the entry of colors or flavors during the manufacture of beverages such as lemonade, liqueur etc. or
- the entry of the active ingredient only when the liquid is used, for example the entry of milk and sugar in previously prepared coffee.
Zum Eintrag des Wirkstoffs bereits bei der Herstellung der Flüssigkeit gelangen bekannte Vorrichtungen, wie beispielsweise Dosierpumpen oder Wägeeinrichtungen zur Anwendung, die aufgrund des Herstellungsprozesses entsprechend größere Mengen zu dosieren haben. Bei der Eintragung des Wirkstoffs in die Flüssigkeit mit einem zeitlichen Abstand zum Fertigungszeitpunkt, wobei der Zeitpunkt der Wirkstoffeintragung frei wählbar ist, ergeben sich die Schwierigkeiten je nach Flüssigkeitsmenge entsprechend kleine Wirkstoffmengen zu dosieren und Flüssigkeit und Wirkstoff getrennt voneinander aufzubewahren und nur bei Bedarf in Kontakt zu bringen.The entry of the active ingredient already occurs during the production of the liquid known devices, such as metering pumps or weighing devices to apply accordingly due to the manufacturing process have to dose larger amounts. When entering the active substance in the Liquid at a time interval from the time of manufacture, the The difficulties arise when the active substance entry is freely selectable depending on the amount of liquid to dose small amounts of active ingredient and keep liquid and active substance separate from each other and to be brought into contact only if necessary.
Aus der EP-A-0965536 ist ein Einsatz für Getränkebehälter zur Aufnahme eines festen, pastösen oder flüssigen Wirkstoffs, beispielsweise ein Farbstoff oder ein Geschmacksstoff zum dosierten Eintrag dieses Wirkstoffs in ein Getränk bekannt. Der Eintrag des Wirkstoffs erfolgt selbsttätig beim Öffnen des unter Gasdruck stehenden Getränkebehälters. Der bekannte Wirkstoffbehälter ist zylinder- und stufenförmig mit zwei Kammern und einer Abgabeöffnung ausgebildet und fest mit dem Innenboden des Getränkebehälters verbunden. Aufbau und Einbringen des Einsatzes bzw. Wirkstoffbehälters ist verhältnismäßig aufwendig und kostenintensiv und zudem nicht bei allen Flüssigkeitsbehältern und speziellen Anwendungsfällen einsetzbar.EP-A-0965536 describes an insert for beverage containers for holding a solid, pasty or liquid active ingredient, for example a dye or a Flavor known for the metered entry of this active ingredient in a drink. The active ingredient is automatically added when the gas pressure is opened standing beverage container. The known drug container is cylindrical and stepped with two chambers and a discharge opening and firmly connected to the inner bottom of the beverage container. Construction and Introducing the insert or drug container is relatively complex and cost-intensive and also not for all liquid containers and special ones Use cases.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Einsatz (Widget) für unter Druck stehende Flüssigkeitsbehälter, insbesondere Getränkebehälter zu schaffen, mit dem in einfacher Weise eine beliebige Komponente bzw. ein Wirkstoff in eine Flüssigkeit eingetragen werden kann, wobei die Eintragung zu einem beliebigen Zeitpunkt und dann schnell, d. h. ohne Langzeitwirkung und selbsttätig erfolgen soll und wobei keine von der Flüssigkeit getrennte Aufbewahrung des Wirkstoffs erforderlich ist.It is an object of the invention to use a widget for pressurized To create liquid containers, in particular beverage containers, with the in simply any component or an active ingredient in a liquid can be entered, the entry at any time and then quickly, d. H. without long-term effects and should take place automatically and wherein the active ingredient is not stored separately from the liquid is required.
Die gestellte Aufgabe wird mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 bei einem Einsatz für Flüssigkeitsbehälter der vorgenannten Art entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 dadurch gelöst, dass der Einsatz im Flüssigkeitsbehälter frei beweglich ist, aber eine derart stabile Schwimmlage an der Flüssigkeitsoberfläche innerhalb des Flüssigkeitsbehälters einnimmt, dass die Außenbohrung immer nach oben zeigt und so einen Druckausgleich mit der Umgebung optimiert, wobei nach Öffnen des Flüssigkeitsbehälters der dann bestehende relative Überdruck in der Druckkammer im Verhältnis zum abgefallenen Druck im Flüssigkeitsbehälter eine Öffnung der Komponentenkammer bewirkt.The task is given with the characterizing features of the claim 1 when used for liquid containers of the aforementioned type the preamble of claim 1 solved in that the use in the liquid container is freely movable, but such a stable swimming position on the Liquid surface within the liquid container occupies that Outer bore always points upwards and thus pressure equalization with the Environment optimized, the after opening the liquid container existing relative overpressure in the pressure chamber in relation to the dropped Pressure in the liquid container an opening of the component chamber causes.
Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, dass der Einsatz nach seinem Einbringen in den Flüssigkeitsbehälter und dessen Verschluss der Druckaufbau in der Druckkammer des Einsatzes problemlos erfolgt und er sich beim späteren Öffnen des Flüssigkeitsbehälters ebenso problemlos öffnet und den Wirkstoff bzw. die Komponente in der Komponentenkammer freigibt. Eine separate Bevorratung des Wirkstoffs ist nicht notwendig, da sich der Wirkstoff, räumlich noch getrennt von der Flüssigkeit, jedoch in demselben Behälter befindet. Auch die Dosierung stellt nun keinerlei Problem mehr dar, da der Wirkstoffbehälter genau die Menge an Wirkstoff enthält, die eingetragen werden soll.In this way it is ensured that the insert after its introduction in the liquid container and its closure the pressure build-up in the pressure chamber the use is easy and it turns when you later open the Liquid container opens just as easily and the active ingredient or Releases component in the component chamber. A separate stockpile of the active ingredient is not necessary since the active ingredient is still spatially separated from the liquid, but located in the same container. The dosage too no longer poses any problem, since the active substance container exactly the amount contains active substance that is to be registered.

Mögliche Gase, die mit ihrem Gasvolumen den erforderlichen Überdruck in den Flüssigkeits- bzw. Getränkebehältern, wie Limonaden- oder Bierbehältnissen sowie im Einsatz aufrechterhalten, sind vorzugsweise Kohlendioxid, Stickstoff, aber auch Luft und alle Edelgase auch in beliebigen Mischverhältnissen.Possible gases which, with their gas volume, create the required overpressure in the Liquid or beverage containers, such as lemonade or beer containers as well as in use, are preferably carbon dioxide, nitrogen, but also air and all noble gases in any mixing ratio.
Aus Gründen der leichteren Fertigung ist vorteilhafterweise nach der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Einsatz aus einem länglichen Einsatzkörper besteht, der an einer Seite mit einem Deckel versehen ist.For reasons of easier manufacture is advantageous according to the invention it is provided that the insert consists of an elongated insert body, which has a lid on one side.
Ferner ist vorgesehen, dass der Einsatzkörper einen gleichen Querschnitt über seine Länge mit einem nach einer Seite verlagerten Flächenschwerpunkt bzw. einer Schwerpunktachse oder -linie hat, wobei die Außenbohrung an der am weitesten vom Schwerpunkt des Einsatzkörpers entfernten Stelle in dessen Außenwand angeordnet ist. Darüber hinaus kann es sinnvoll sein, wenn mehrere Außenbohrungen in der Außenwand des Einsatzkörpers angeordnet sind.It is further provided that the insert body has the same cross section its length with a center of gravity shifted to one side or has a center of gravity axis or line, with the outer bore on the farthest point from the center of gravity of the insert body in its Outside wall is arranged. In addition, it can be useful if several Outer bores are arranged in the outer wall of the insert body.
Besonders zweckmäßig ist der Einsatz im Querschnitt tropfenförmig ausgebildet ist. Alternativ kann der Einsatz im Querschnitt in etwa auch eiförmig ausgebildet sein.The insert is particularly expediently drop-shaped in cross section is. Alternatively, the insert can also have an egg-shaped cross section his.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Komponentenkammer im Einsatz zylinderförmig ausgestaltet und von der Druckkammer vollständig umschlossen. Mit Vorteil weist der Deckel dazu eine Ringnut auf, in die das Ende der Wand der Komponentenkammer in geschlossenem Zustand eingreift. Durch diese Maßnahmen ist eine problemloser Zusammenbau der Einzelteile sowie ein ebenso problemloses Öffnen der Komponentenkammer sicher gestellt. In a further embodiment of the invention, the component chamber is in use designed cylindrical and completely enclosed by the pressure chamber. For this purpose, the lid advantageously has an annular groove into which the end engages the wall of the component chamber in the closed state. By this measure is a hassle-free assembly of the individual parts as well an equally problem-free opening of the component chamber is ensured.
Da je nach Bedarf die Menge des Wirkstoffs, der in die Flüssigkeit eingetragen werden soll, unterschiedlich groß sein kann, ist die Größe der den Wirkstoff enthaltenen Komponentenkammer veränderbar.Since depending on the need, the amount of active ingredient that entered the liquid should be of different sizes, is the size of the active ingredient contained component chamber changeable.

In den Figuren 1 bis 4 ist als Anwendungsbeispiel ein erfindungsgemäßer Einsatz
1 für unter Druck stehende Flüssigkeitsbehälter, vorzugsweise Getränkebehälter
(nicht dargestellt) gezeigt, bestehend im Wesentlichen aus einem Einatzkörper
2 mit einem Deckel 3, wobei der Einsatzkörper 2 an seiner Außenwand
20 eine Außenbohrung 4 aufweist.In Figures 1 to 4, an application according to the invention is an example of use
1 for pressurized liquid containers, preferably beverage containers
(not shown) shown, consisting essentially of an
Gemäß den Figuren 1b, 3 und 4 besitzt der Einsatzkörper 2 eine Komponentenkammer
5 zur Aufnahme einer flüssigen, pastösen, pulverförmigen oder festen
Komponente, beispielsweise eines Geschmacks-, Farb- oder sonstigen
Wirkstoffs, ferner eine Druckkammer 6 als Mittel zum Eintrag der Komponente
in die Flüssigkeit beim Öffnen des Flüssigkeitsbehälters, wenn der Deckel 3
vom Einsatzkörper 2 getrennt wird.According to FIGS. 1b, 3 and 4, the
Die Komponentenkammer 5 im Einsatz 1 ist hier zylinderförmig ausgebildet und
von der Druckkammer 6 umschlossen, getrennt durch die Zwischenwand 50.
Besonders zweckmäßig weist der Deckel 3 eine Ringnut 30 auf, in die das Ende
der Wand 50 der Komponentenkammer 5 in geschlossenem Zustand eingreift.
Die Ringnut 30 ist zwischen der Seitenwand 32 einer kreisförmigen Vertiefung
31 und einem äußeren Ringbund 33 angeordnet, wodurch ein verkantungsfreies
Absprengen des Deckels 3 gewährleistet wird. Zur einfachen und
sicheren Montage ist der Deckel 3 an seiner Peripherie 34 in die Außenwand 20
des Einsatzkörpers 2 einklipsbar.The
Der in den Figuren längliche Einsatzkörper 2 ist mit gleichem Querschnitt über
seine Länge dargestellt und hat einen nach einer Seite verlagerten Flächenschwerpunkt
bzw. Schwerpunktachse oder -linie (siehe insbesondere Fig. 2),
wobei die Außenbohrung 4 an der am weitesten vom Schwerpunkt des Einsatzkörpers
2 entfernten Stelle in dessen Außenwand 20 angeordnet ist.The
Der Einsatz 1 wird mit der Komponente bzw. dem Wirkstoff in den Getränkebehälter,
beispielsweise eine Limonaden- oder Bierdose bzw. -flasche eingebracht.
Da der Einsatz 1 schwimmt und so ausgelegt ist, dass die kleine Außenbohrung
4 immer nach oben zeigt und somit in dem Bereich liegt, wo sich
die Kohlensäure sammelt, wird nach Verschließen des Behältnisses der Druckausgleich
durch die kleine Bohrung 4 vollzogen. Wird nun das Getränkebehältnis
geöffnet, wobei sich schlagartig der Innendruck entspannt, kann sich nur
durch die kleine Bohrung 4 kein Druckausgleich des noch unter Überdruck stehenden
Gases in der Druckkammer 6 in kurzer Zeit einstellen. Die Folge ist,
dass durch den noch vorhandenen Gasdruck gegenüber der nun entspannten
Umgebung der Deckel 3 abgesprengt wird und sich die Komponentenkammer 5
öffnet. Auf diese Weise gelangt der Wirkstoff bzw. die zu vermischende Komponente
in die den Einsatz 1 umgebende Flüssigkeit. Durch Schütteln ist eine
noch intensive Durchmischung der Flüssigkeit mit dem Wirkstoff möglich, wodurch
man in kurzer Zeit das gewünschte endgültige Produkt erhält.The insert 1 is placed in the beverage container with the component or the active ingredient,
for example, a lemonade or beer can or bottle.
Since the insert 1 floats and is designed so that the small
Durch den Einsatz 1 gemäß der Erfindung ist die Möglichkeit geschaffen, eine Flüssigkeit gemeinsam mit einem für den Endverbrauch notwendigen Wirkstoff bzw. einer oder mehrerer beliebiger Komponenten aufzubewahren mit dem Vorteil, dass der Dosiervorgang selbsttätig beim Öffnen des Getränkebehältnisses abläuft. Fehler durch falsche Dosiermengen oder durch einen zeitlich zu frühen Dosierzeitpunkt vor dem Endverbrauch können somit nicht mehr auftreten.The insert 1 according to the invention creates the possibility of a Liquid together with an active ingredient necessary for end use or one or more arbitrary components with the advantage that that the dosing process automatically when opening the beverage container expires. Errors due to incorrect dosing quantities or due to an early one Dosing time before end use can therefore no longer occur.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen und Ausgestaltungen sind nicht auf das in
den Zeichnungsfiguren dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. Mögliche
Abwandlungen des erfindungsgemäßen Einsatzes 1 für Flüssigkeitsbehälter
können darin bestehen, dass beispielsweise der Einsatz 1 und/oder die darin
befindlichen Kammern 5, 6 unterschiedliche beliebige Querschnittsformen aufweisen,
und dass beispielsweise mehrere separate Komponenten- 5 und/oder
Druckkammern 6 nebeneinander mit unterschiedlichen Öffnungsmerkmalen
vorgesehen sind. Die jeweilige konstruktive Ausgestaltung ist in Anpassung an
besondere Verwendungen dem Fachmann freigestellt.The measures and configurations according to the invention are not based on the
limited to the embodiment shown. Possible
Modifications of the insert 1 according to the invention for liquid containers
may consist, for example, of insert 1 and / or the insert therein
located
